Jonathan Haidt:
How common threats can make common (political) ground
If an asteroid were headed for Earth, we'd all band together and figure out how to stop it, just like in the movies, right? And yet, when faced with major, data-supported, end-of-the-world problems in real life, too often we retreat into partisan shouting and stalemate. Jonathan Haidt shows us a few of the very real asteroids headed our way — some pet causes of the left wing, some of the right — and suggests how both wings could work together productively to benefit humanity as a whole.

NEWTON, Mass. — Former Reebok and New Balance executive Chris Cohen has been named VP of sales at Topo Athletic.
Founded in December 2012, Topo is a brand focused on designing innovative athletic gear that amplifies the natural mechanics of the human body. In his new role, Cohen will lead North American sales and sales operations for Topo.
Cohen has more than 20 years of sales experience, including 15 years in sales management. He's held leadership positions at the Timberland Company, Reebok International, Hi-Tec Sports and, most recently, New Balance Athletic, where he played a role in sales leadership since 2004. While at New Balance Athletic, Cohen was responsible for the strategic vision, direction and sales execution of 145 US-based New Balance specialty stores. Prior to that, he was responsible for the Family Specialty Channel, which included more than 1,000 domestic accounts.

Cohen will be charged with building a best-in-class sales organization focused on retail partnerships, dealer service and training. Topo Athletic's sales agencies and service organization will report to Cohen, and his team will help prepare for the company's launch at the Outdoor Retailer Show on January 23.

Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman
by Charles and Ray Eames
Looking for a taller version of this Eames Lounge Chair? Please click here.
At A Glance:
The Eames Lounge Chair is probably the most famous mass produced piece of American furniture. Designed and built by the genius duo of Charles and Ray Eames, sat in and admired by countless (and comfortable) people over the years, this is the ultimate lounge chair.
What's to Like:
Everything. The rich leather, the elegant and groundbreaking molded plywood shell, the intense comfort, and the beautiful ottoman. Not to mention the historic nature of the chair and the design, and the cultural cachet of the Eames name. No modern recliner is more comfortable, and no piece of furniture is more beautiful or more justly famous. This is the Emperor of all lounge chairs.
What's Not to Like:
This is an expensive piece, and very fine one. It's worth every penny, but that's a lot of pennies. Also, if you're on the taller side of the height spectrum, say, 5'10" or over, the Eames Lounge Chair might not be for you. You can still be very comfortable in it, but you have to scoot forward in the chair in order for your head to stay supported.
Bottom Line:
You can't buy a better lounge chair for your home. This is the absolute creme de la creme, made by the greatest design team of all time, produced by the best furniture company in America.
The chair has been on display for decades at museums like the Art Institute of Chicago, and New York's Museum of Modern Art, and the reams of scholarly, critical, and fan writing and correspondence is enormous. It's truly one of the most famous and well-respected chairs ever built, and now it can be yours through Smart Furniture and Herman Miller (Herman Miller secured the rights to sell Eames furniture, and there isn't a more fine or trustworthy furniture company out there).
The matching Eames Ottoman can be purchased individually here.
The Eames Lounge Chair in White Ash is also available with playful light-toned leathers.
The Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair is also known by the following manufacturer Item Numbers: ES670, ES671, ES67071.
Materials & Measurements
- Seven-ply cherry or walnut veneer shells with leather upholstery
- Six-inch-thick urethane foam cushions
- Swivel mechanism built into the base
- Die-cast aluminum back braces, base, and ottoman base painted black with bright polished aluminum trim
- Natural rubber shock mounts
- Adjustable stainless steel glides
Lounge Chair: 32" h x 32.75" w x 32.75" d
Ottoman: 17.25" h x 21.5" d
Leather Options
- Stock Leather
Chromium free and from Austria this stock Herman Miller leather is a winner for most. With a matte, soft feel this is the most popular leather used on Herman Miller upholstered items.
- Open Line Leather
Austrian by birth, yours by choice. Open Line leather is closest to the stock Herman Miller leathers but available in a wider array of colors.
- MCL Leather
Italian by birth, MCL has a soft hand and natural touch with great performance; and it's easy on the earth. It will show more wrinkles over time and wear well. Avoid high-wear applications that require high cleanability and those which expose the leather to direct sunlight. It has a medium grain and shine and is a nice upgrade from the standard leather for the price.
- Dream Cow Leather
With a gentle calfskin grain (it's not calfskin though, its European full grain aniline dyed cowhide), this leather is soft and comes in many great colors to accent your decor. This is a leather of great versatility, perfect when Royal Hide is out of budget, but where the look is wanted.
- Metallic Dream Cow Leather
A gentle calfskin grain (again, not calfskin but European full grain aniline dyed cowhide), infused with metals and soft shine, on cowhide for huge versatility. Updated, offbeat, moody colors.
- All Grain Leather
Not too big - not too small - just "All Grain". Color and quality together wedding grain and color, always with a feeling of luxury. European full grain aniline dyed cowhide powered by Crypton, "All Grain" becomes an easy choice for high traffic areas and commercial offices.
- Royal Hide Leather
This versatile leather is the most beautiful of its kind. The color range is huge, reflecting its broad applicability. It will develop a rich patina over time, making it a great heirloom, eliminating the need for reupholstery. A European full grain aniline dyed cowhide leather with no limits - sky, earth, sea.
Charles and Ray Eames were pioneers, constantly looking for new materials for their innovative designs. The couple's first plywood chair - the Eames Lounge Chair Wood (LCW)-used a heavy rubber washer glued to the backrest of the chair and screwed to the lumbar support. These 'shock mounts' allow the backrest to flex slightly.This innovation is used in the design of the Eames Lounger. The backrest and headrest are screwed together by a pair of aluminum supports.
The Eames Lounge Chair is molded by three curved plywood shells. The shells are made with several thin layers of wood veneer adhered together and shaped under heat and pressure. The plywood and cushions are the shaped the same (i.e., composed of two curved forms interlocking to form a solid mass). The head rest and back of the Eames Lounger are proportional.
The Eames Lounger is suspended on the seat via two connection points in the armrests. The armrests are screwed to shock mounts on the interior of the backrest shell, allowing the backrest and headrest to flex when the chair is in use. This is part of the Eames' Chairs unusual design. The rubber washers are solidly glued to the plywood shells.
Charles Eames' innovation in material selection is also apparent in the seat cushions. Instead of stapled or nailed upholstery, cushions are sewn with a zipper around the outer edge that connects them to a stiff backing.
The back is adhered to the shells with hidden clips and rings. This design allows the visible veneer to be unmarred by screws or bolts. The Eames Lounge Chair has a low profile and set to recline. The Eames Lounger swivels on a cast aluminum base and has glides that are threaded so that the chair may remain level.

Charles and Ray Eames
Designers, artists, thinkers, and filmmakers- the Eameses were married for 37 years, and operated the Office of Ray and Charles Eames together for 35 of those years. They were partners in every sense of the word, sharing a home, an office, and collaborating on every piece of furniture and film they made together. For many years it was thought that Charles had been the driving force behind most of their design work, but recent findings have proven what had always been obvious about the two; they were inseparable, and the ideas they had and the projects they worked on were mutual and cooperative.
Charles and Ray collaborated on some of the most stunning and beautiful film and design projects of the last century. They are responsible for the Powers of Ten film, Tocatta for Toy Trains (film), The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, the Eames Aluminum Group furniture, the molded plywood chair, the TimeLife chair and stool, and various award winning museum exhibitions, including Mathematica. The Eames left not a stone unturned in their lifelong quest to bring the "uncommon beauty of common thing" into modern design, and practically no medium was ever eschewed when it came to getting their point across. Separately they would be ranked extremely high on any respectable list of great designers in the 20th century, but together they were unstoppable.
The Office of Charles and Ray Eames is still operating in California, with family member Lucia (daughter) and Eames Demetrios (grandson) running the family business. A great place for innovative and now historic film, toys, furniture and exhibits, the Office of Charles and Ray Eames is a California treasure.
- The Original Look. Classic Aesthetic. The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman are now available in Santos Palisander, a lustrous veneer that has the same characteristics as the original color and grain. The look of the chair, according to designer Charles Eames, was meant to resemble the warmth, familiarity, and comfort of a well used baseball mitt. The warms colors and mixture of leather and curved surfaces achieves that goal with startling precision. The aesthetic of the chair therefore reflects several ideas, feelings, and traditions; Americana, comfort, childhood, nature, modernity, commonality. All these combine to create a chair that meets physical, spiritual, and mental needs. Eames always said he wanted his chair to be a refuge from the strains and pressures of the modern world. He succeeded in every way with the Eames Lounge Chair- which has become an icon of modern design.
- Environmentally Sound. The wood is harvested exclusively from sustainably managed forests. Additionally, much of the chair was constructed using recycled materials, and about a third of the product is itself recyclable. However, it's unlikely you'll ever recycle the chair; it's a ready-made heirloom, designed to be passed on and on and on for as long as possible, just like that well worn baseball mitt.
- Classic Comfort. Luxurious Feel. The chair has 6-inch-thick urethane foam cushions and rich leather upholstery. The effect is luxury without pretension or ostentation, and deep comfort and relaxation without resorting to the overstuffed or bulky. The chair is classically built to serve a strong purpose well, and to go no further than elegance allows when it comes to bells and whistles.
- A Place to Relax. The contours of the seat and high back welcome the sitter, and a swivel mechanism is built in. This is a chair that fits practically anywhere in your home, from the living room to the office. It's sturdy and comfortable, made for all ages, and serves as a mini-retreat from a harried life. The inspiration for the chair came from director Billy Wilder, who used to rig up lounges for brief naps while he was filming. A refuge from the storm was what he needed, and the Eames provided with the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman. Read more about the Eames Lounge Chair's design story.
- Quality and Craftsmanship. Attention to Detail. All pieces are hand assembled. Shells are seven-ply cherry, natural cherry, walnut, or santos palisander veneer; the base and back braces are die-cast aluminum. The designers at Herman Miller are the best in the world, unparalleled in experience and quality, and the Eames Lounge Chair, exactingly built just as it was half a century ago, is just one more feather in their cap.
- Practical Features. Cushions are individually upholstered and replaceable; back cushions are interchangeable; shock mounts are resilient natural rubber.

Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
I'm 5'4 and I decided to get the Tall version. I'm so glad I did. The original size didn't support my head, making it fall back. It wasn't comfortable.
Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
Some people might say $4K+ is too much to pay for a chair, I say they have never sat in a good one! Like sitting in a big bowl of Warm Porridge, conformable no matter what size or shape your (insert rude word for bottom here) is....
Service and delivery comments:
Not exactly white glove delivery (No white gloves) but arrived in good shape and was unpacked for me.
Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
I've been wanting a Herman Miller Eames chair for quite a while and finally splurged on one recently during the Herman Miller Sale. It was delivered quickly and even setup for us inside. It looks so beautiful in person and it truly is so comfortable you'll find it hard to stay awake in it. It's expensive but you can't argue with true hand-made quality. Perfect lounge chair.
Service and delivery comments:
Quick delivery, inside setup, no nicks, dents or anything like that with our delivery. Very professional delivery serviced used.
Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
The chair is amazing. Delivery service was fast and friendly. Could not be happier!
Service and delivery comments:
Fast delivery. Easy to work with schedule.
Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
Since college, I've been wanting the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman which was about 18 years ago! I finally decided to make the plunge and purchase it. I wish I had purchased it years ago. I would have saved a couple thousand! It's stunning.
Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
Before deciding to purchase, I saw some discussion over the internet on the leather choice. Some people were complaining about the standard leather and recommending to upgrade. So I went out to Herman Miller store to check but did not see much difference between the standard one and MCL, except that standard leather is more smooth and fit better to my taste. So I ordered the standard black leather chair and ottoman and found the leather is good - probably MCL might be better in the long run but for now I think the standard leather is a good quality leather.
One thing I really like about the chair/ottoman is these are relatively small and fit in my small loft. Delivery guy carried the chair on his head and walked up the narrow spiral stair (pictured) which is just 1-2 inches wider than the width of the chair. I did not check much but we probably did not have many quality, modern chairs that fit in this space. But it still feels very comfortable and do not feel small when sitting.
Service and delivery comments:
I appreciate Smart Furniture provided free inside delivery for this item - and the delivery was truly inside to the designated space which is a loft through narrow spiral stair.
Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
No need to describe the beautiful leather and comfortable chair. Everyone already knows all that. One thing that is not so well acknowledged is that this is not a good livingroom chair for when you have guests. The lounger is that, a lounger, it tilts back and your buttocks slide back deep into the chair. Visitors cannot sit up to participate in the conversation, unless they sit at the very front of chair. Chair is rather for watching TV, reading, catching a snooze. So yeah, it's perfect, but... In any case, it's just as well because you don't really want anyone but you sitting in your Eames chair.
Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
After visiting the Eames lounger in showrooms I was neither wowed or turned off by the standard leather. Based on various reviews I chose to upgrade to the Dream Cow leather and am so happy I did; thick, durable, soft, neither glossy or matte.
Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
Client loves this chair, fits perfectly in his mid-century modern office.
Service and delivery comments:
Easy and timely delivery and ordering process.
Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
Love this iconic chair - Smart Furniture had the best pricing and fastest delivery time. Wood grain on the walnut is highly figured and looks great.
Service and delivery comments:
Shipping was fast, the shipper used was less than stellar but Smart Furniture made it right with no hassle.
Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
We'd been wanting an Eames chair for a long time and needed something to fill out our living room corner - we finally took the plunge during a site sale, and I'm so happy we did! We debated long and hard about the color and wood options, but ended up buying the very classic Black leather with standard wood grain. The leather is buttery soft but strong, the wood is warm and solid looking. The chair itself is incredibly comfortable for lounging, reading, watching TV, and snacking (very carefully, of course!).
My only advice is that it can look a little bit like a fancy office chair, so we threw a fur blanket on the chair to soften up the style - and it works perfectly and makes it extra cozy! Also of note, it's much lower than we thought it was going to be - so we had to move corners because it wasn't properly filling up the large living room corner we originally planned. Instead, we moved it over near the bookcases and lamp and made it a little reading nook.
Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
We have owned our Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman for over 40 years. It has been with us in 5 different houses and we always had a place for it where it looked great, even in a restored Victorian farmhouse. It's been upholstered a couple of times but still a comfortable chair for reading.
Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
This is one of those products that doesn't even need a review - just do whatever it takes to get one! It's iconic, built to last a lifetime, and oh-so-comfortable. I finally pulled the trigger during their last semi-annual sale -- combined with free delivery, it was a no-brainer!
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was easy to schedule, and they hauled away all the packaging. Couldn't be happier.
Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
An absolute classic and great addition to our living room. We paired this Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman with our gray Gus Modern couch, a salvage wood coffee table, and green shag rug, but frankly, the Eames Lounge Chair could go anywhere. It adds instant luxury to any room. The leather is soft and the chair is super comfortable.
Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
I got this for my husband as a gift, after 30 years of his putting up with me. He likes to relax in his home office either reading, listening to radio, or watching TV on line. Difficult to pry him out. He loves the chair, both looks and comfort.
Service and delivery comments:
Excellent customer service by Smart Furniture. They even honored a 15% off sale that came out after I purchased, around the time I received the chair.
Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
Love to read and sip coffee in my new Eames chairs. They are low profile and classy.
Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
Love the chair. Very comfortable
Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
I love my new Eames Lounge Chair. I had been thinking about it for a long time and was looking at reproductions, but I finally just called up SmnarFurniture to see if they made a real Herman Miller chair, and I decided to go ahead. The service was efficient and reliable, and the representative answered the phone right away when I called. I am totally satisfied.
Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
Like so many reviewers here, I've always had my eye on this mid-century classic. Luckily, something of an unexpected windfall opened the door to getting one, and it exceeds all my expectations. This chair is spectacularly beautiful and spectacularly comfortable. I wish I could sleep in it.
It arrived in perfect condition and works perfectly (i.e., it swivels smoothly and silently). It looks great in our living room. It's a dream.
The chair is not adjustable, for folks who hope to recline farther than the set angle. It can't be raised higher or lower either, but trust me -- it is so comfortable as it is you won't think about that.
I'm in chair heaven.
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was in the estimated time frame and the team was totally professional.
Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
The Eames Lounge is an iconic classic that continues to deliver from both a design and most importantly a comfort standpoint. Like many others, this chair has been on my bucket list for decades and I decided to finally pull the trigger on a Palisander with black All Grain leather. The chair delivers on all counts and the upgraded leather makes a big difference as it's a much thicker, richer and more textured hide.
The people at Smart Furniture were excellent to work with and provided a wealth of information beyond the typical sales pitch you might get from other authorized dealers. I was tossed up between the different leather choices and they immediately sent me out samples so that I could touch and compare side-by-side in the comfort of my home.
Not being in a rush I shopped around locally and on line for months but Smart Furniture was the clear winner with its price, service and willingness to stand behind the product.
I did have an issue with the finish of my chair when it was delivered (wood was damaged either at the factory or in delivery) but Smart Furniture stood by me the entire time. They promptly ordered me a replacement and I was able to keep the other until the new one arrived from the HM factory. They were in constant communication and ensured that I was satisfied by placing numerous follow up calls and emails to me.
If you've been on the fence about getting one of these, hesitate no longer. When you're sitting in your living room, kicked back in your new Eames Lounge Chair you'll wonder why you waited so long. This chair has been in constant production since the 50s. You'll be handing this down to the next generation as a family heirloom.
Service and delivery comments:
Shipping was not great as the chair was unpacked down the street and possibly damaged when brought into my home. The shippers used were far from "white glove". I ended up having my damaged chair replaced and the shipping company used the second time was much better and the chair arrived and was delivered perfectly.
Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
Thank you so much! The chair was beautifully packaged for safe shipping and arrived sooner than promised! Of course the chair is wonderful and the price was great!
Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
As beautiful and comfortable as I dared hope. Palisander veneer is beautifully rich, striking without being loud. Dream Cow leather is luxurious, matte yet vibrant.
Service and delivery comments:
Superb service from Smart Furniture. Will certainly use them again for other purchases. Prompt, friendly and courteous service from Ceva.
Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
I have been dreaming of owning this chair since I was in college. I finally took the plunge to purchase this beauty. The Eames Chair instantly added more character to the living room! After a long day of work, I look forward to sitting in this chair to unwind. It's so comfortable that I typically fall sleep soon after.
Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
We live in Hong Kong where we can only purchase the 'standard' model at hefty prices. Taking advantage of the Herman Miller sale, I purchased this product for my wife's birthday present (she is a long time fan and is currently studying interior design) and had it shipped to Hong Kong. The product is used in our lounge room. It is superbly constructed and is very comfortable. It looks great. The packaging of the product was also excellent allowing the product to arrive in Hong Kong in perfect condition. The quality of construction and materials used is a testament to what Herman Miller produces in the USA. I hope it encourages other manufacturers to keep 'jobs at home' rather than exporting them overseas for the sake of cheaper construction costs but inferior quality.
Service and delivery comments:
The support and advice received from both Christie and Karen was nothing short of outstanding. Our order consisted of two pieces which arrived at different times from the manufacturer. They ensured our order was consolidated and shipped to our forwarding address in Miami in a timely manner. Good old-fashioned service!

Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
I've wanted an Eames lounger ever since I first studied design and architecture as a teenager, and now finally have one. Not only is it a beautiful piece of furniture, but the craftsmanship is impeccable, and it's incredibly comfortable. I have nothing negative to say about it - everyone should have one.
Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
No need to review this item really. Went for the Palisander wood, which looks FANTASTIC, and the default leather, which is great. A fantastic chair which looks stunning.
Service and delivery comments:
Everything went perfectly. Easy delivery setup, came on time, quick setup at home. Perfect condition.
Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
We use these as our "media/theatre chairs" -- instead of usual clunky and ugly theatre seating. Not only are these chairs classic beauties, they are so comfortable that watching a movie sometimes turns into "nap time".

Comments about Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman:
Eames Chair and Ottoman was a great solution for our scaled down family room that is open to our kitchen. This purchase was made with my husband in mind as we were lacking in an appropriate seat for him. A Christmas present! He of course was vying for something in the oversized lounger world (uggh). This lounger addressed my checklist of visual and scaling needs. It is iconic with all the ingredients of style, function and versatility! Love how it swivels around so that the user can socialize with all the goings on in the kitchen as well. From the kitchen perspective, the walnut back beautiful to look at like a piece of art.
Took my family room from a grade B to A++. Truly worth the investment! No regrets and not just for the husband anymore!

Q:Does this product meet California Fire Code?Asked on 6/11/2015 by Brad from Chicago, IL
1 answer
A:The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman complies with California TB117-2013.Answered on 6/12/2015 by Caroline from Smart Furniture
Q:Is the Edelman Dream Cow very scratch-resistant? I love the softness of this versus the All Grain, but worried that it may be slightly more prone to scratches from my small dog. From the leather specs it looks like both have equal thickness and durability ratings, so I'd appreciate your opinion. Thanks!Asked on 1/19/2015 by Allen from United States
1 answer
A:Yes, Dream Cow is very scratch resistant, but All Grain is moreso. All Grain is going to be the most scratch resistant of all the leather options because of its heavy finish, which sometimes puts it out of the running aesthetically because it is so shiny. The medium shine and semi-aniline finish on Dream Cow is above par and should meet your needs nicely.Answered on 1/20/2015 by Melanie from SmartFurniture.com
Q:Is there a heating option available?Asked on 3/19/2014 by Lazy Dave from Orlando, Fl
1 answer
A:Regretfully, there is no heating option available for the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman. A built-in heating pad would be swell, but for now, you would just have to use an outside heating pad source.Answered on 3/19/2014 by Karen G. from Smart Furniture
Q:What is the advantage/disadvantage to the "oiled" wood vs the unoiled wood? ThanksAsked on 5/29/2013 by Kai
1 answer
A:Excellent question! Aside from requiring more maintenance the oiled finishes more closely match the look and feel of the finish used on the original chair and ottoman. Just like the original oiled finish, it will need to be maintained with periodic hand oiling. So you get a more authentic look and the wood richens over time into a nicer contrast but it takes more time to care and maintain. But don't worry, it comes with a kit so you have everything you need to maintain it over the years.Answered on 5/29/2013 by Melanie from Smart Furniture
Q:Are there any covers available to protect the leather, when not in use? Thanks, JerryAsked on 12/28/2012 by Anonymous
1 answer
A:No, sorry. No covers for the Eames Lounge that we know of but maybe the below leather care instructions will help.
Normal cleaning
– Vacuum or dust frequently with a clean, dry cloth.
– If leather is soiled, it can be wiped with a soft, damp cloth using a lather of any mild soap with lukewarm water.
Do not spot clean leather; clean the entire surface.
Wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Spots and spills
– Wipe excess liquid immediately with a clean cloth or sponge; let the leather air dry.
– If further cleaning is necessary, sponge the entire surface—seat, back, or chair arm—with lukewarm water.
– Let the leather air dry; never use a hair dryer or other heat source to dry leather.
Stubborn spots and stains
– Apply a mild, nonabrasive soap solution with a clean, wet sponge.
– Rinse well and let air dry.
Butter, oil, or grease
– Wipe the leather with a clean, dry cloth and let the remainder of the oil dissipate into the leather.
Do not apply water or try to wash a grease spot.
Do not use saddle soap, cleaning solvents, oils, furniture polishes, varnishes, abrasive cleaners, detergents,
or ammonia on leather; they will ruin the finish, causing it to become sticky and cracked.
If the stain remains, contact a professional cleaner.
Large areas
If large areas are soiled, contact a professional cleaning firm.Answered on 12/29/2012 by Melanie from Smart Furniture

Q:Is the height of the lounge fixed or adjustable?Asked on 11/2/2011 by Curious from Charlotte, NC
1 answer
A:Fixed, it is a swivel only lounge chair. You could raise it up a tad with furniture feet under the base.Answered on 11/2/2011 by Melanie from Smart Furniture
Q:How do you clean the metal base and brackets on the Eames Lounge and Ottoman?Asked on 4/15/2011 by Anonymous
1 answer
A:Herman Miller recommends using a wadding polish to clean these parts. Eagle One's Nevr-Dull would be a perfect candidate for this task.Answered on 4/15/2011 by Melanie from Smart Furniture
Q:are there replacement parts for the cushions regarding the lounge chair and ottomanAsked on 3/30/2011 by mitch from omaha ne
1 answer
A:Yes. We would need to know the production date of your chair as the attachment hardware for the cushions was changed October 4, 1971. Email email@example.com with your born on date (found on a plaque under the seat of the chair) and your desired leather and we are happy to quote them for you.Answered on 3/30/2011 by Melanie from Smart Furniture
Q:How can you determine if a chair and ottoman is an authentic Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman by Herman Miller? We bought two of this type chair several years ago, and were told told they were "knock-offs" of this design. They both swival and rock, and it is our understanding the original Eames do not have these features. The two chairs we have need new bases.
Have there been up grades of the original design?Asked on 1/30/2011 by Anonymous
1 answer
A:Thanks to Wikipedia the following might help answer your questions: In modern production the shells are made up of seven thin layers of wood veneer glued together and shaped under heat and pressure. This differentiates the newer chairs from the "original" (vintage) chairs which used Brazilian rosewood veneers and were constructed of five layers of plywood. Also differentiating the very earliest sets from newer sets were rubber spacers between the aluminum spines and the wood panels first used in the earliest production models and then hard plastic washers used in later versions. In the earlier sets, the zipper around the cushions may have been brown or black as well, and in newer sets the zippers are black. The shells and the seat cushions are essentially the same shape: composed of two curved forms interlocking to form a solid mass. The chair back and headrest are identical in proportion, as are the seat and the Ottoman.
Since its introduction, the chair has been in continuous production by Herman Miller in America. Later, Vitra began producing the chair for the European market. Immediately following its release other furniture companies began to copy the chair's design. Some copies were direct knockoffs, while others were merely 'influenced' by the design. Most notably Plycraft Company, now defunct, issued dozens of chairs that directly mimicked or were in-the-style-of the Eames 670. More recently the Chinese market, as well as other European companies, have begun making direct copy knockoffs. However, Herman Miller and Vitra remain the only two companies to produce these chairs with the Eames name attached.
The Eames Lounge chair swivels but does not rock. The bottom line: If you have a knockoff none of the original replacement parts will work with what you have. If you have an original you can use the same parts to fix your chair today.The bottom line: If you have a knockoff none of the original replacement parts will work with what you have. If you have an original you can use the same parts to fix your chair today.Answered on 1/31/2011 by Melanie from Smart Furniture
Q:I have a question about the length of the back cushions. I was in a shop here where they sell the chair and there they told me there is a new version and on this one the back cushions are slightly bigger. So if you're a bigger person it still qives some headrest. The older version which they had in the shop I tried and it gave no headrest at all. Do you have this second version?Asked on 1/18/2011 by Arthur Roovers from Belgium, Antwerp
1 answer
A:Herman Miller manufactures only one version of this chair for the US market. A company called Vitra manufactures this chair for the European market and possibly makes this larger size you speak of. The chair looks slightly different from the Herman Miller version and many Europeans prefer the black base of the US version better.Answered on 1/18/2011 by Melanie from Smart Furniture
Q:Are replacement cushions available for the Eames lounge and ottoman?Asked on 12/1/2010 by Raymond de la Cruz from TN
1 answer
A:Yes, we can order replacement cushions for the Eames Lounge and Ottoman. Pricing will depend on when it was manufactured, as construction changed after 1971. Available replacement parts include cushions for the seat, back, armpads and ottoman, each of which are sold separately depending on your needs.

Like this: 2-Flute High Speed Long Shank Single End Mills (WT Import) at Wholesale Tool Company | Industrial Machinery + Tool Supply
I prefer the 4 flute as it is more rigid but it clogs easier.
i'm going to be trying this on the drill press, so should i opt for more flutes?
drill press=no rigidity
I've been thinking about this a while. Seeing how the money is not there for a mill, but I could swing a HF drill press and the $59 mill vice.
I've thinking.....mind you now the last time I was on a mill was in 1978, BUT:
What if you drilled down to 90% of required depth, then used one of those mill bits vertically to clean up the sides and flatten out the bottom areas where the FCG reside? Then you would not be putting a load horizontally on the drill press. It would take some time to do in the mag well, but I ain't doing nothing but waiting to die every night after work right now, so time is not no big deal.
So my real question is will one of those mill bits work in a fashion like I am waiting to use it?
thanks guys and your welcome.
now whether you use a drill press or a mill if your not a machinist (im not) then be sure to pick up some of the "aluma" style mill bits and a burr the same way....
they need NO lube or oil, they wont clog in aluminum and they dont get dull either...
ive done over a dozen with mine now and they cut just as good as they did NIB.
Hate takes LESS energy & thought... Dont be so Lazy.

I'm straining my first comb of honey. (I broke a comb off the bar by lifting without checking to see if it was attached. Another lesson learned).
I'm using a method I read about on another website. I put a strainer -- in this case, a sprouting lid -- between two mason jars, and I'm letting it drip through.
I started out with the small mesh sprouting lid, and nothing came through. I moved on to the medium, and a tiny bit dripped through. So now I've got the larged mesh lid on, and there is a good steady drip, but a lot of the smaller wax bits are coming through as well.
Exactly how do you filter honey from a top bar hive? Any favorite methods out there?

[Article]-DIY IDS
Permanent Link: [Article]-DIY IDS
The best offense is a good defense. This is a very famous phrase most often attributed to football, but it can be applied to many areas of life especially information security. Diligent patching is a must, but even when done religiously (in conjunction with faithful anti-virus updates), vulnerabilities still exist. There has never been more of a need for an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) than right now. Attackers are more skilled and the tools they use more elaborate. We simply can't be everywhere at once and need IDS to be the eyes in the back of our head.
There are many great products out there, but as an introduction to IDS, I wanted to focus on OSSEC-HIDS. OSSEC-HIDS is a great application to get your feet wet and open up the more advanced concepts of intrusion detection. OSSEC agents will run on virtually all OSes including Solaris, OS X, Linux and Windows (2000 and XP). The server itself is Linux based. The configuration is fairly straightforward as outlined below. This is a very basic introduction and should be considered a jumping off point.

Don't know if there is already a thread like this. If so, my bad.
Everyone has already harped on the guys we would like in the first three rounds of the draft but what about those later round talents? The guys the Giants will select on the third, less-hyped day of the draft? A place for everyone to discuss who they like, why they like them, where they think they'll go, etc.
My guys:
OG Alvin Bailey, Arkansas. If the Giants don't address OL earlier in the draft, I could definitely see them taking this guy. Boothe just signed for one year only and Snee's future is iffy. Plus this guy has the ability to pull, something the Giants used to love doing back when Seubert was the other starter. His pass blocking can use help but he can be that big nasty guy the Giants need. 4th rounder.
OLB Jelanis Jenkins, Florida. One of those small, safety looking linebackers with a compact frame and speed. Yeah he'll get swallowed up by blockers but with the Pistol offense, you kind of need these faster LBs and sometimes its a trade off of size. Our linebackers aren't the greatest group and two of our potential starts are here on 1 year deals and, Herzlich and Paysinger are RFA at the end of next year too. 4th rounder
DE Devin Taylor, South Carolina. I have no faith in Trattou, Broha or Tracy. Ojomo will be a rotational guy who comes in on passing situations, like Tollefson but with more athleticism. Tuck could very well play himself off the roster if he doesn't step up his game. Someone who could potentially start across from JPP needs to be added. Taylor has the size but he needs to bulk up to add the strength. 4th rounder.
TE Nick Kasa, Colorado. Pascoe is like Blackburn. Doesn't offer you much in the way of actual skill but he works his *** off...and he's white. Myers contract may say 4 years but realistically its more like 1 year. Kasa is a blocker who has flashed some pass catching abilities. Just need to improve on it, like Boss and Ballard. 5th rounder.
CB Steve Williams, California. A lot like Hosley. He's a short, small dude who plays bigger then he really is. Physical and not afraid to get in a opponents face. The CB depth chart is gonna need a serious over haul after this season. Thomas? Probably gone. Webster? Potentially gone. Ross? Potentially gone. That leaves us with the Prince and Swag Hosley. 6th rounder.
C Braxton Cave, Notre Dame. The interior of our offensive line could always use some help. If Boothe had left, that leaves us with Cordle as our back-up center option and that doesn't sound too good to me. Wouldn't mind another body competing for the chance to backup Baas and potentially take over for him when his contract expires. 6th rounder.
FS Dale Stafford, Nebraska. We got Rolle, Hill and Brown as locks for next year but the Giants like to carry four guys because they like to go with that 3-Safety look. Right now it looks like a battle between Thomas and Sash for that last spot. Add another body for the competition. An aggressive guy with decent speed. 7th rounder.
QB Sean Renfree, Duke. Rememer when the Giants used to love taking a late round flyer on a QB they thought had upside to try to groom them into a solid backup to Eli or potential trade bait? I think they could do something like that again. Carr won't be around forever and it might be time to get someone young and talented back there, just in case something really does happen to Easy E. *knocks on wood* 7th rounder.
RB Miguel Maysonet, Stony Brook. We've all read the reports about this guy ever since the Giants brought him in for a look. He would be a nice addition to the group and could compete with Scott for that final spot. Of course that is me being under the impression the Giants will carry 4 RBs, which I think they will. Also under the impression Torrain is a lock for that 3rd spot, which is iffy.
WR Mark Harrison, Rutgers. Everyone would love for Cruz! and Nicks to be the future for the next five years or so but until their signatures are on the dotted line for new contracts with the Giants, better to be safe then sorry. Take a chance on a kid with the skills to be a solid outside receiver.


text: I'm starting a new build I'm calling the "Algonquin". It will be motored bike powered by a Grubee Super Rat. I'm starting out with a Wards Hawthorne twin top tube frame (can anyone date this frame?), Schwinn style springer with brakes, and some Brown Fat Franks. I mounted the Franks on a new set of heavy duty 12ga spoked wheels. I won't be using the kit supplied tank because... well I think they're ugly. I've got a couple of different tank ideas I've been kicking around, but I haven't decided which one yet. So far, I've gathered up most of the parts, and decided on colors: Chrysler 300c Cool Vanilla for the frame, and Cummins diesel engine beige for the motor and some of the small parts. The frame is brazed so I'm making some gussets to strengthen it up near the headtube, seattube, and rear dropouts. I found a local tig welder who does nice work for cheap to weld them in. Here are some pictures. Tom

Reviews for this host's other properties
About this apartment I can not say anything, because when we arrived in Krakow, we were told that there was a heater damage and we have to take another apartment. Too bad this was right in the center and an earlier announcement by mail would have been nice. We checked into another beautiful apartment that was right on the Planty. The location was also good Straszewziego no. 10. The apartment was nice geschnitte, for two big enough, there was an elevator to the fourth floor. The decor was lovely, the bed comfortable, however, not by a solid mattress. The kitchen equipment was rather spartan, properly cook has not been possible, however, not necessary, at the range of possibilities in Krakow. There was no lack of major domestic appliances, dishwasher, refrigerator were available, but lacked things like a pot for brewing tea or a ladle. The apartment was tastefully decorated and you could feel comfortable there. We can recommend it.
Über diese Wohnung kann ich leider nichts sagen, denn als wir in Krakau ankamen, teilte man uns mit, dass es einen Heizungsschaden gäbe und wir eine andere Wohnung nehmen müssen. Schade, diese lag genau im Zentrum und eine frühere Mitteilung per Mail wäre auch schön gewesen. Wir bezogen eine andere schöne Wohnung, die direkt am Planty lag. Die Lage war auch gut Straszewziego Nr. 10. Die Wohnung war schön geschnitte, für zwei Personen groß genug, es gab einen Fahrstuhl in den vierten Stock. Die Ausstattung war schön, das Bett allerdings durch eine durchgehende Matraze nicht komfortabel. Die Küchenausstattung war eher spartanisch, richtig kochen war nicht möglich, allerdings auch nicht nötig, bei der Auswahl an Möglichkeiten in Krakau. Es fehlte nicht an Großgeräten, Spülmaschine, Kühlschrank waren vorhanden, allerdings fehlten Dinge wie eine Kanne für das Brühen von Tee oder ein Schöpflöffel. Das Apartment war stilvoll eingerichtet und man konnte sich dort wohl fühlen. Wir können es weiterempfehlen.
Very nice apartment, practically on Floriańska street, around the corner from the Market Square
Appartamento Molto bello, Praticamente su via Floriańska, a due passi dalla piazza del Mercato
When we arrived, the apartment we had booked was not availebal due to a water leckage. This had happend two days ago, but we were not contacted. We were offered a 2 room apartment with 1 bath insteed of the 3 rooms with 2 baths we had payed for. In discussion about price reduction we were told this was an upgrade, and therefor they would not offer compensation. The last day we were allowed to keep the appartement unntil 19 o clock insteed of 12. This was a totally different apartement, and not bright, big we had booed. Disappointing.
Beautiful apartment in the center of Cracow. The outer appearance of the floor should not hesitate to book it when. In general, in Krakow usually they have that aspect.
Add a new set of towels with some more towel per person and a shower mat.
A magnificent place to stay in Krakow
Precioso apartamento en el centro de cracovia. La apariencia exterior del piso no debe hacer dudar a la hora de reservarlo. En general, en Cracovia suelen tener ese aspecto.
Añadiría un juego de toallas nuevo, con alguna toalla más por persona, y una alfombrilla para la ducha.
Un magnifico sitio para quedarse en Cracovia

Agreement with the agency on time and
apartment clean and in an excellent position in the historical center,
well served by public transport and other services.
Pleasant stay.
Intesa con l'agenzia puntuale e
appartamento pulito e in ottima posizione nel centro storico ,
ben servito da mezzi pubblici e servizi vari.
Piacevole soggiorno.
A large apartment, with large rooms. Plagued with hard beds and not the least heat.
We arrived at 28 degrees, many steps up to the top floor. We had not seen that it was NOT air conditioned, so it was very hot in every room. Especially in the living room which was located in the middle of floor, no windows that could be opened. There was one fan there, and we got 2 extra, so little air was there.
En stor leilighet, med store rom. Plaget med harde senger og ikke minst varmen.
Vi kom til 28 grader, mange trapper opp til toppetasjen. Vi hadde ikke sett at det IKKE var aircondition, så det var veldig varmt i alle rom. Spesielt i oppholdsrommet som lå midt inne i etasjen, uten vinduer som kunne åpnes. Det var 1 vifte der, og vi fikk 2 ekstra, så litt luft ble der.
Very happy with the stay! Very convienient location.
The apartment was not ready when we arrived the decorators were still working. We were asked at the office to return in 2 hours and were taken to the 'house of beer' for refreshments. When we were then taken to the apartment the workmen were just finishing. The apartment was very comfortable and spacious and ideal for three couples. It was not however the apartment we had reserved having reviewed the advertised photographs! Despite this I would highly recommend the apartment and would return for another break.
Nice apartment, clean and cosy. There are only 2 bedrooms with double beds. 3 couples will not be comfortable. At night it might be noicey. Well after all it is rhight at the main square.
All in all good experience.

[quote user="Redeyejedi"][quote user="Neverend"][quote user="BluGiantPies"]Bump BC ohm youngmisuk just said the giants are interested in lavonte David on ESPN new york[/quote]
I would be thrilled if true, im not crazy on the other names they like (randle, jones) reported thus far[/quote]I like David didnt think they would be interested . If they think he can play MLB awesome.
Wow how crazy would it be if they drafted another guy from Fort Scott[/quote]
Yeah, he's not the greatest fit in the trenches. But I think the giants are open to upgrading positions like olb or offensive tackle in this draft even though they have young talent like brewer and jaquain williams. but we'll see

Hi I'm Jake I've been visiting D.H. for a while now and finally am able to post. I am a Tin Knocker by trade and have given the armor building a shot wondering what you pro's out there might think of it? Thank You Jake
My little girl demoing my Crusader Mask I am building.
It looks really nice! Keep it coming!
Welcome to TDH. Looks pretty good so far.
I love metal armor:o:o
Thanks for the quick replys you guys I'm having fun with it I need to start doing the sewing part Vest and Hood for the Crusader mask . most of the mask gets covered with cloth. I'm probly going to use valcro so I can chang it up every once in a while.
I will be giving the gontlets a shot in the future seen some great ones here and most of you guys names there aswell so you know what I'm talking about. I used rivvits and boundo on the metal for that mask and the cod pieses. I found that the boundo with the metal is forever and very derable. Please don't mind my spelling (lazy writer). Thanks again, Jake
I see this post has been visited many times. The more oppinions the better . I am not going for screen accurate obviously . Cash is also an issue so the crusader mask also became an obviouse choise for head gear. aswell as the metal being left overs from a job. I just finished end of June. I had to give this a shot though. My wife is a big S.W. Fan and she is building one aswell hers is coming out sweet. With my years of Tin Knocking skills and tools I beleive I could get pritty good at this and right now there is only room for improvement . Thank you all again, Jake
Welcome to TDH, Noob, glad to have you on the boards. Nice to have another MK fan here as well....
122 Views and only 9 posts what up people lets hear some thoughts here. I will be posting a Boba (Like) helmet " I am building out of metal for my wife" soon. I printed template fro the wiz. I am using an old F.G. hard hat as the dome and have started cutting, tabbing , rolling and bending the metal. Like the Crusader mask I will be using Rivets and bondo on the metal junction.
Have you ever thought of selling metal armor? I bet there is huge interest on here for decent priced metal armor! Just a thought...
Here are the Pictures of the wiz templet helmet . Being done in metal. I still have to do alot but it is a start.
From one metal man to another.Good job bro.I like the bucket.you gonna cover those rivets?Or leave em showing?
I have been doing metal armor for years, but have yet to do a bucket.Gauntlets, and armor orders keep me busy enough.lol...Kudos.
Thank you Wicked I have looked at your gauntlets they are great. I have to mechanically fasten my work . I am in the process of skim coating the helmet now with Bondo (pics to follow). The rivet's are forever with no worries of adhesives letting go. I work with copper and it is soldered. I still mechanically fasten with rivets because solder is a sealant and not a fastener. Same goes with bondo . I have gauntlets on my list as well I my tack weld those seams still in the planning stage. and helmet is R+D as I go.
Thank You Again , NOOBSAIBOT
Its on its way still needs more sanding and the other parts ear , visor . I don't yet know what my wife wants me to do this is for her costume I made it slightly smaller to fit her body . I don't think she wants to look like a bobble head. LOL Anyway with a little more work and a paint job she will probably want to do her self ,this thing may become something. See NO rivvets and all seems are gone .
I realy like these do dads and I've been away so I was hope to hear from some of you guys.
Hey welcome. I can't wait to see the final product. I must say that the bucket looks like its a bullet. Which is off for a Boba but a sweet Mando!!! Like what I am seeing and can't wait for more! I personally like the rivets showing...Iron Man Boba.
I think I have made a Newbee mistake posting this custum costume on this thred (Boba Armor) I am not going for the boba look. I am working on an Neo-Crusader for myself . The helmet I am working on is for my wife. I made it a little small so she would not feel like she looked like a boble head while wearing it. sorry for my mistake hope I can be forgiven. Thank you all, Jake
Hey its been a while with out working on the armor. I've Been away doing my copper work in Mass. and haven't been able to post I am still away . I will be home soon maybe find some time to get to it . Thanks all for your kind welcome I haven't forgotten the D.H.

As a Giants fan, I can tell you unequalalivocally that becuase were so much more smarter then any dumbly Cowboys fans weed never act like that after beeting a division rival.

$18 million Recovery.gov contract goes to Hoyer contributors
posted at 10:22 am on July 9, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Barack Obama promised to end the influence and corruption in Washington, campaigning on Hope and Change. His plan to reverse the economic decline was supposed to be a model of this new culture of openness and transparency, with the new Recovery.gov website as its crown jewel. David Freddoso reports exclusively at the Washington Examiner that the new crown jewel will get polished by the politically connected:
ABC reports this morning that the Maryland firm Smartronix has won what seems like an enormous $18 million contract to re-design the Recovery.gov website. Approximately $9.5 million would be spent by January in order to make "Recovery 2.0" out of the site that is at least supposed track the spending of federal stimulus funds in detail.
Smartronix, a medium-sized Maryland-based firm (over 500 employees) founded in 1995, boasts a large number of government clients, mostly military. The company appears to have just one important political connection: according to FEC records, Smartronix president, Mohammed Javaid, vice president Alan Parris, and partner John Parris have together given $19,000 to House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D) since 1999.
First, let's focus on the dollar amount for this contract. Since when does it cost $18 million for a website, even one with a database requiring updates on a quarterly basis? Fedspending.org, the project from OMB Watch, does exactly what Recovery.gov promises for a fraction of that cost — and Fedspending covers the entire federal budget, not just Porkulus.
Fedspending provides a look at Smartronix' interactions with the government. In FY2007, for instance, Smartronix got $47 million in federal contracts. Of that revenue, only $132,000 came in the form of fully open, multi-bid competition. Its other contracts either came as the result of a single-bid competition ($25 million) or competition with other sources excluded ($20 million).
Did other companies bid on the Recovery.gov contract? Or did it get handed to Hoyer's cronies like its other projects? David Freddoso says that the Examiner has more to come.

The new University of St. Thomas Bike Club is riding 11 cyclists strong in the annual BP MS 150 event from Houston to Austin on April 20-21. Rosemary Tran '12, club member and assistant to the associate dean in the Cameron School of Business, said the club has been training for months, and they plan to complete the 180 miles by Sunday afternoon. The group is riding in solidarity to raise funds and awareness about multiple sclerosis.
"We have also raised a total of $2,655 for patient support and research," Tran said. "We ride for those who suffer from multiple sclerosis, an unpredictable disease of the central nervous system. MS affects both young and old individuals, and can cause blurred vision, poor coordination, speech problems, fatigue, memory problems, paralysis, blindness and more. We will be wearing our orange MS bandanas with names of those with MS, including one of our very own staff's family members."
The BP MS 150 is a two-day fundraising cycling ride organized by the National MS Society: Lone Star. This ride is the largest event of its kind in North America. The ride begins at Tully Stadium in Houston, Texas and ends in Austin, Texas. For specific route details, visit the BP MS 150 webpage.
