Mini sweet peppers with olives and almonds
These flavour-packed nibbles can be prepared in advance and cooked just before serving. Baby sweets, available throughout summer in hues of yellow, orange and red, have a natural affinity with garlic, herbs, creamy cheeses and bacon. Boursin, a fresh cheese from Normandy, is sold in many supermarkets. The garlic and fines herb version makes creating this dish easy, so do look for it. That said, both garlic and chive-flavoured cottage cheese or cream cheese would suffice.
- Heat the oven to 200C.
- Cut each mini sweet in half lengthwise, keeping the right halves together. Cut or scoop out the seeds.
- Blend together the garlic and herb cheese and feta until smooth. Divide the cheese mixture evenly among the peppers, filling one half of each pair generously. Sandwich the halves together.
- Using the back of a cook's knife, stretch each pancetta or bacon rasher. Cut each rasher in half. Wrap one half around the middle of each pepper, enclosing the filling.
- Arrange in a shallow ovenproof dish. Scatter over the almonds and olives and drizzle everything liberally with the olive oil. A seasoning of ground black pepper won't go astray and I'd be using a generous hand.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the peppers are hot and the pancetta or bacon and almonds are golden. Serve with crusty bread and a chilled wine.

Fmr. Atlanta fire chief still in 'shock' at firing
COLUMBUS, Ohio (BP) -- Kelvin Cochran was living his boyhood dream. He had a good income. He was married, the proud father of three adult children, and a grandfather. And, the clincher, he was a fireman. But since being fired from his job as chief of the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department in January, his dream has turned into a series of legal battles.
The alleged offense leading to Cochran's dismissal was the publication of a 162-page book he wrote after researching the subject of "authentic manhood" and human bondage to sin for a men's Bible study he facilitated in 2013. Particularly controversial was the book's claim that homosexual behavior is immoral.
The city of Atlanta defended the firing, saying Cochran did not receive city approval before publishing the book. But Cochran's attorneys argue the book's claim about homosexuality is specifically what offended his superiors and cost him his job. In February, Cochran's attorneys filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the city and Mayor Kasim Reed.
"When you're dealing with challenges of the carnal nature with men, you have to talk about sex," Cochran said. "So speaking in the book on biblical views on marriage between a man and a woman, and procreation and that sex outside of marriage is sin is, actually, what caused the controversy."
Discussion of homosexuality comprised only one page of the book but apparently provoked Reed and city councilman Alex Wan, who is gay. They charged Cochran's biblical views on sex created a discriminatory work environment. An investigation of the fire chief's tenure produced no evidence of discrimination.
Comments made by Reed and Wan led Cochran's attorneys from Alliance Defending Freedom to conclude their client was fired explicitly for his Christian convictions. According to an ADF press release, Wan told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, "I respect each individual's right to have their own thoughts, beliefs and opinions, but when you're a city employee and those thoughts, beliefs and opinions are different from the city's, you have to check them at the door."
Cochran told Adams, "I had no thought whatsoever that in the United States of America, me writing a book to express biblical truths about why God created man and sexuality ... would cost me my childhood-dream-come-true, fairy tale career."
As a 5-year-old boy watching firefighters put out a blaze at a neighbor's house, Cochran was inspired. He wanted to be a fireman. He also wanted to be a "family man." And he didn't want to be poor. The latter two ambitions grew from a determination to change his life. Abandoned by his father, Cochran watched his mother struggle in poverty to raise him and his five siblings.
In 1981 he was hired by his hometown fire department in Shreveport, La., and quickly advanced through the ranks, being tapped as chief after 18 years of service. He was recruited by Atlanta in 2008. He served only a year before being named U.S. fire administrator by President Obama.
After Reed became mayor, he persuaded Cochran to return to the Atlanta post in 2010. Two years later Cochran was named Fire Chief of the Year by Fire Chief magazine. Less than three years later Reed fired him.
Cochran's difficulties led him to God's Word and his faith in the truth it conveys. In the early 2000s, he studied the word "suffering" and that lesson resonates today. Cochran is confident that God prepares believers for suffering, blesses those who stay faithful in the midst of it and, in the end, glorifies Himself.
Support from his pastor, Craig Oliver of Elizabeth Baptist Church in Atlanta, and the Georgia Baptist Convention has encouraged Cochran and rallied religious liberty advocates nationwide.
"I'm still in a state of shock and awe that in our beloved nation we have to choose between keeping our jobs and living out our faith," Cochran said. "And when a believer is caught between the decision to keep your job or live out your faith, the right decision is always to live out your faith even if it costs you your job."

Majority of attorneys deal with all areas of law. It is important you choose an attorney who specializes in your area of business. It is very important that you consider the availability of the attorney. Consider a law firm that can be contacted easily. This is why it is vital that you call a few and book for an appointment.

My Furniture is Stuffed with WHAT?
Bottom layers of stuffing:
By far one of the most popular stuffing materials (which has been used for centuries) is straw. When I first started working for Pierre at Lefebvre's Upholstery, I wasn't really aware of just how common it is to find straw in upholstered furniture. I had assumed that straw was mainly only used in cheaper pieces, but that isn't the case. While better pieces will have more hair or moss than straw, straw is still often used as a base layer, and can sometimes be the only stuffing material used along with some cotton.
Here is an early 1900s chair with a straw and cotton stuffed seat (the webbing and springs have been removed, and the seat pad is flipped upside down):
The advantage of straw is that it's very durable, cheap, and it was readily available. If the chair or sofa is properly maintained, it can last well over 100 years. It doesn't last forever, though, and on heavy wearing pieces, it will eventually wear itself into dust.
Disadvantages: It's messy, and a good bottom fabric must be used to prevent dust and fibres from billowing out of the chair or sofa bottom. It can also cause allergic reactions to some people from the fine dust.
Some clients prefer to have the straw replaced with foam, but in most cases, the straw is reused.
The last bit of info I want to pass along is that there IS a difference between straw and hay. They are not the same thing, and you can't use hay in upholstery.
Coconut fibre is much less common on antique pieces. Over the past year, I have seen it only once or twice, and in both cases, it was added by a later upholsterer to "fill-in" bare spots, or to add a bit of additional padding. The fibres are somewhat "crunchy" feeling, and offer a decent amount of resilience. Coconut fibre is often used in place of horsehair.
Excelsior is also known as "wood wool" and it was originally invented as an alternative stuffing for mattresses. It dates back to the 1840s, and it's basically thin wood shavings produced by machine. It often resembles straw, and it is found occasionally in chairs (particularly Victorian ones) in place of straw.
If you're curious, you can read about the entire history of wood wool here:
Second to straw, the second most popular stuffing material found in antique pieces is moss. This is not the kind of moss you would find on the forest floor. The moss is actually Spanish Moss that has been treated to produce a dark curly stuffing material similar in appearance to horse hair. It is usually called "black fibre". I have seen sofas almost entirely stuffed with this material. From what I've seen, this material is very long lasting, and other than leaving a small bit of black dusty residue, I haven't really noticed any excessive wear to it, even on pieces over 100 years old.
Horse Hair: Horse hair is by far the best material to be found in antique upholstery, and it is usually a sign of a quality piece. The hair is a rich black, and has a very springy "plastic-y" feel. Because it was expensive, it will often be found only as a thin top layer over a cheaper stuffing (such as straw and moss), or mixed together with cheaper curled hair.
Horsehair and moss stuffing on the back of a settee:
Light Curled Hair (usually hog hair): Several other types of curled hair are also used in upholstery, and are nearly as good as horse hair. They range from nearly white, to light yellow, or brown, and are always worth reusing.
Here is a small wing chair primarily stuffed with mixed hair:
Rubberized Horse Hair: Rubberized horse hair is usually found in the form of a mat of hair cut to suitable shapes. It is simply curled hair that has been coated with a rubber material (as the name suggests). You can see an example of this hair in the 1962 Wing Chair that we worked on last year. In the photo you can see rubberized horse hair on the wings and deck.
Outer layers of stuffing:
Lastly, we have the outer-most stuffing materials, which usually consist of a layer or two of cotton or felt, or sometimes Kapok on smaller chairs. The outer layer of cotton is often covered with a thin cotton fabric (a rough cover).
Cotton used in upholstery is supplied in large rolls, and it is about 1" thick when not compressed. The cotton is soft and fluffy, but it contains lots of little flakes and imperfections. Older cotton tends to be more dense (from compression), and with fewer imperfections. The cotton is used over top of all previously discussed stuffing materials, and it helps to even-out any small bumps and imperfections from the layers beneath it. It is absolutely essential over curled hair, since it will prevent the hair from poking through the finish fabric. Cotton that is still in good shape is reused, but if it has become too lumpy, torn, or soiled, it is replaced.
Here you can see cotton batting being applied to the arms of a wing chair:
KAPOK: Kapok is rarely seen, but makes an appearance here and there. It is a silk-like fibre obtained from the large seed pods of the Kapok tree native to Mexico, and areas near South America. The fibers are similar to those that you would find in milkweed pods. They are used in pillows as an alternative to down, or they are compressed into a felt-like padding used on chair seats, usually Victorian occasional chairs, or dining room chairs.
EDIT: I keep receiving a lot of questions and comments from people asking for information about some of their antique pieces. It's impossible for us to help you without seeing photos. There were millions of chairs, sofas, and other various upholstered pieces made over the past few centuries, and there are too many variables to base anything on just a description. Even when we do have photos, it can still sometimes be difficult to estimate a date on a piece, especially if it doesn't follow a specific furniture style or period (Renaissance Revival, Gothic, Art Deco, etc). If you would like to make an inquiry about a piece, we'd be happy to take a look, but please realize that we will not provide any kind of appraisals or valuations, and that our information is simply our best estimate based on the style, materials used, etc. I can be contacted by following the "JC" link at the end of the post, or Pierre can be contacted here: http://lefebvresupholstery.com/site/en/contact-us/

Is it possible to determine the age of a chair by it's seat filling? I bought a chair that is filled with a combination of cotton batting and horse or hog hair. I assumed it wasn't an old chair because it is covered in vinyl - not real leather. It's quality vinyl - but vinyl all the same. It needs re-stuffing and I would prefer a fabric seat but I don't want to ruin a quality piece of furniture with my DIY upholstering!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hello Jill, It's difficult to date a chair simply by its stuffing, because very old chairs can have new stuffing (if the old was replaced), and likewise, newer chairs could be re-stuffed with new traditional stuffing (this is far less common). From your description, it sounds like you have a fairly old chair (a photo would help). The chair can be reupholstered in fabric without changing the original stuffing, just be sure to discuss this with your upholsterer (I'm not sure where you're located, but if you're nearby we'd be happy to help you with this project).

I am trying to determine the age of a chair that I believe has moss and straw under cotton. It had claw feet but a low back. I thought it was a Bishop Chair but because of the low back I am not sure. I don't think it is horse hair because it has like a plant feel to the hairs. Help??ReplyDeleteReplies
Hello, moss and straw under cotton is very common on older pieces, and it was used for a long period of time. It's very difficult to date a piece just by the stuffing materials. It's usually easier to estimate a date when looking at the entire piece. What kinds of springs were used, the type of wood and joinery in the frame, the overall shape of the piece, etc.Delete

I purchased an old chair at a thrift store recently for $7! I am trying my hand at reupholstering. During my research I found the EXACT chair on a blog that stated it was from the 19th century. I have removed the fabric. It looks like the original fabric was covered up when it was last reupholstered. The stuffing material looks like cotton batting and curly horse hair. The seat/back are actually stuffed channels and then stapled on to frame. I was planning on making it one solid piece with out channels (not using any of the current stuffing materials of fabric). Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated!ReplyDelete

I have a child's platform rocker with padded seats, arms and back. I believe the stuffing is cotton and straw. Can I send a pic? I would love to know it's age and anything else you can tell me. What would it sell for (in case I go that route).ReplyDelete
Hi I'm doing some research for a project, was wondering if you could tell me what stuffing was most common in upscale 19th century furniture please? In particular in chairs, any help would be greatly appreciated.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hello Bethan, It depends on the company, and on the quality of the piece. If you're talking about only high-end pieces, the larger upholstered items tend to have mainly moss (as the base), black horse hair (middle layer), and cotton over the top (top layer). For an example of this, you can take a quick look at "Wonderful Antique Sofa - Bold Orange & Dark Navy Print" (March 2 2014), however, the padding wasn't really shown in the photos. On even higher quality pieces, the stuffing can be entirely horse hair, with cotton over the top.Delete
When you mention "chairs" it's harder to give you an answer without knowing exactly what type of chair you mean. A high quality Victorian arm chair with a tufted back would have the same kind of treatment (moss or straw, hair, & cotton), with mostly hair used on the back. For an example check out the seat on "Antique Arm Chair - Light Blue (Project of the Month July 2014) " (Jan 3 2015).
If you mean something like a plain dining room chair with a flat seat, then it may just be a thin layer of straw, with a good amount of cotton over it, and nothing else.
On something like a Chippendale upholstered dining room chair (with a square seat), it would have a double stuffed seat: webbing, a base of either straw or curled hair, hand stitching (to form an edge roll), a second stuffing layer (more hair or straw), followed by cotton, a rough cover, and the finish fabric. The treatment would be nearly identical to the chair in the link above. Hope this helps.
Thanks so much, your knowledge is impressive! Sorry, I should have been more specific about the chair, but never the less, your answer has really helped.ReplyDelete
Any possibility of dating a chair if I email or send you a picture?ReplyDelete
Hi JC,ReplyDelete
I have an old divan with horsehair on it I would like to reupholster it with the same material, how much in kilograms I will need for the following measurements: base w140cm by h65cm and the back support w50cm by h65cm?
Hi Sara, I'm not exactly sure how to help you with your sofa. If it already has horsehair on it, then you should definitely keep it and reuse it. We never replace horsehair unless our client specifically wants it removed. We also don't carry horsehair, so I've never had to estimate how much to use for a particular piece. Horsehair is very expensive (about 30-40$ per pound), and for a whole new piece, it could easily cost about 1000$ in new hair. This all depends on the style of the piece, and how much hair is used in the stuffing and foundation. Even if I had a photo of your sofa, I'd only be guessing.Delete
A church in Toronto I attended years ago had pews with horsehair stuffed cushions. The cushions were made in 1939 but only because a year before there was a fire that destroyed most of the building. All the pews were replaced (the original were solid Walnut) and in a cost saving measure the horse hair was removed from the old cushions, cleaned and re-inserted into the (then) new cushions. ($1000, 1939 dollars were saved doing this) The original horse hair stuffed cushions were made in 1875 and after 141 years use and a devastating fire the horse hair is acknowledged to be good as new and not one hair has been known to ever penetrate the 1939 cushion top. I have no reason to doubt they'll be much worse for wear when they're 200 years old. A quality purchase made in 1875 is still paying dividends for this church to this dayReplyDelete

I purchased a small bench from Habitat Restore that has a seat with burlap straps holding in horsehair filling. The cotton on top had disintegrated. I am wondering about simply replacing the horsehair and cotton, but would I devalue the piece? The bench is wonderfully crafted and obliviously a quality piece. Thank you for your expertise!ReplyDelete
I have a sofa , purchased at a used store, for $100. It has horse hair cushions, but the fabric is parcially redone. I wondered when it was first made. It has beautiful cut out walnut wood as a frame. If I sold it, & it is in good condition,how much can I charge for it?ReplyDelete
Hi JC, great blog. I have an arm chair more than seventy years old. Beautiful but cushion in severely sunk on one side and the stuffing is shedding from the underside. No experience, but I want recover it myself, but the stuffing is making me itch. I live in an apartment so i can only work on it in the corner of my bedroom where its been sitting for a few years now. Any suggestions. It has a great frame. Would like to save it if possible. Cant afford to send it out. Thank in advance for your respone! :-)ReplyDeleteReplies
There's a fairly steep learning curve when working on antique pieces. Learning to tie springs, applying burlap, and hand-stitching can all be challenging. It can definitely be done, but I would suggest watching several online video tutorials. The stuffing may itch simply because it's releasing a lot of fine dust. Try to have ventilation, or if possible, wait until the spring/summer and work on it outdoors (in the parking lot or on the balcony) at least for just the base stuffing and rough covers. Sorry for the late response.Delete

Hi JC- Very informative blog so I hope you can help me. I tried re-cover an antique pianola stool but there were so many tacks and nails in it that there was no room for any more. So I took the previous cover off and found 3 more covers underneath and also the original stuffing. I am not sure what it is made of. It is brown and quite hard but very dusty and crumbly and I don't think I can re-use it. Is it ok to replace it with HD foam before putting on the new cover?ReplyDelete
It's very common to find stools and small chairs where the upholstery has been layered on like an onion, instead of having it removed and upholstered correctly. All the old tacks and staples, and all the previous covers need to be removed. From your description I am not too sure what the stuffing material was. It sounds like it could be a type of felt/cotton blend. We sometimes keep this if it's still in decent shape, and we'll add fresh cotton to it, OR we replace it with a foam.Delete

I live in Germany and recently had a neighbor set an old chair out by his garbage. I quickly ran over and grabbed it with the hopes of reupholstering it. The neighbor stopped by and said the chair had been sitting in his shed for ages and he had gotten it from an old man, so it could potentially be very old. Today I started to take the fabric off, and found it was filled with straw or hay or something. It also has metal springs inside the back and a metal type of wiring underneath. Is there any way I can send you pictures of the chair to get a little more information? This chair is very unique looking and my mom and I have never seen anything like it!
Thank you, Megan

My daughter recently purchased a french provincial three piece sofa. The tag says Body rubberized hair pad. Horse Hair 15 percent; Hogs hair 85 percent; shredded latex foam rubber 20 percent, blended cotton felt 50 percent. We are just trying to figure out when this piece may have been made. The tag says New York in several places, but with the exception of where it states the furniture is in compliance with certain acts dated 1923, 1926 and 1929, there is no other identifying names or years. Any ideas?ReplyDeleteReplies
Normally when there are tags with several dates, you can somewhat safely assume that the piece was made within a few years after the most recent date. If the last date on your sofa is 1929, I'd say that it was likely made in the early 1930s. There are of course exceptions, and without a photo, this is the best info I can provide. The fact that is says rubberized hair makes me think it could be slightly later.Delete

Hi there. I've just posted elsewhere for information on dating an oak dining set from the Victoriaville Furniture Co. Here's the link: http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/4740802/m=23/help-in-dating-an-oak-dining-set-with-grass-in-seat-paddingReplyDelete
Curious to hear your thoughts!Replies
Hi Mz. Whitney, it looks as though you already have a pretty good idea of the date from your research (1903-1920). A date of around 1910-1920 seems perfectly within range based on the wood used, and the style. The leather seats with thin padding (probably excelsior) over a feathered-edge plywood (or solid board) is typical of the early 1900s. These sometimes have just a thin layer of felt or cotton instead. The padding can be added-to (with something like cotton) or a newer foam can be used. The set looks quite nice, but it isn't a valuable antique, so stripping and refinishing it shouldn't be a problem. I'd suggest sticking with leather or black vinyl to match the period style, but any decent fabric would also look nice.Delete
Hi - I just bought a chair at a garage sale... it's kind of half way between a chair and a couch, its wooden with upholstery (I wouldn't have a clue what to call that style of chair, but I would imagine it is used in entry ways). I wanted to reupholster it so I started tearing off the old upholstery - and a friend suggested I try and find out how old it is. There isn't any screws on the piece, and one of the tacking nails that I pulled out looks quite old fashioned. The stuffing was straw and cotton (and it smelled pretty dated). There isn't any branding/dating marks on it. Photos posted on my gmail account https://plus.google.com/u/0/collection/UmuEEEReplyDeleteReplies
Hello K A,Delete
What a beautiful find! You have an old settee, which was probably once part of a set (there is usually a plain chair and a rocking chair in the same style). It is Eastlake style, and in walnut, and it probably dates to around 1880-1890.
This is a similar piece we did a few years ago:

Thank you so much for offering your opinions to people like me who are seeking information about the age or potential history of their pieces.
I have two chairs I'd love your opinion on. They can be found at https://plus.google.com/u/0/
The Morris chair is a family piece that I think dates around the late 1890's. This is based on other furniture it spent its life with and newspapers found stuffed in those other pieces. The Morris is stuffed with cotton as near as I can tell and the original leather was too far gone to save.
The tufted chair is stuffed with cotton and I think horse hair. I was told it is pushing 200 years in age but this sounds a bit unbelievable to me.
It looks original.
Your thoughts are greatly appreciated!
Kyle, your link doesn't work.Delete

So sorry!Delete
I tested the one below. Should work now.
The tufted chair is harder to date without seeing the interior construction and the way it's sewn (inside), the kinds of springs, etc. It could be as old as the 1840s, but also as late as around 1890. It's a nice quality piece. I think it probably had casters.Delete

Could I have your opinion on a set of used dining chairs I just bought? I was taking them apart to reupholster (the seats were sinking) when I got a surprise. The inside was stuffed with what my mother tells me is horsehair, covered by muslin (machine sewn) and cotton batting. Instead of a board for support, there is some kind of webbing. I've attached a link with pictures. https://www.facebook.com/deborah.spier/media_set?set=a.1947948858556383.1073741828.100000238634579&type=3&uploaded=4. Any idea of how old they are? I don't want to damage their value but I need them to be usable for my dining room. I'd appreciate any information you could give me. Thank you.Replies
Hi Deborah, You have a very nice set of antique chairs. I don't think they are genuine Chippendale chairs from the 1780s, but they look very well made, and I think they might be from around 1900. Even if they were much older, reupholstering the seat doesn't normally affect the value. I would just stretch some new webbing, reinstall the horse hair, the cotton, and your new fabric.Delete
Thank you so much! I also meant to ask if you can tell the wood. The seller told me she thought they were either cherry or mahogany but didn't have any info on them. Is there a way to tell? When you say reupholstering probably wouldn't affect the value does that include replacing the stuffing? I hate to sound crass but the horsehair is very uncomfortable and crunches when you sit on it.ReplyDeleteReplies
Well, removing the horsehair (in my opinion) would definitely hurt the value. Horsehair is extremely expensive, and lasts for centuries. That said, they are your chairs, and you can have high quality foam pun in them if you wish, but I would suggest padding them with additional cotton batting over the original horsehair instead. You can add as much of the cotton as you want (an inch or two, even). Alternatively you could add a thin layer of foam over the horsehair.Delete
As for the wood, it's too hard to tell from the photos what wood was used. It certainly could be cherry or mahogany, but it could also be deeply stained birch or maple (though that's less likely). I don't see much visible grain pattern so it's really inconclusive. I'd need a close-up to give you a better idea.
I'm going to try to take your advice. I don't think I can do it myself so I'll see how much it would cost to have it professionally done. Here is a link to a better picture of the wood. Can you tell what it is? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1949554655062470&set=p.1949554655062470&type=3&theaterReplyDelete

The horse hair that I removed from my 100 year old dining room chairs was in bad shape. I have redone the jute web and have found a rubberized horsehair online. I am trying to decide if I should use that or foam, and should it be 1 or 2 inch. If foam, is the "high density" that is sold in fabric stores supportive enough? Thanks for your advice!ReplyDelete
Hi, please forgive me for additional enquiry amongst the already long list posted on this site. A wingback chair has just been acquired by myself as a first time project for restoration. However, other than websites and YouTube, my inexperience and lack of knowledge in this craft sought me seeking some advice or guidance on tackling this as a first time restoration project. Thus my decision to restore the chair, the leather fabric and filling, with mostly cheaper materials such as faux leather seems to me a sensible alternative to learn from. Any thoughts or knowledge, both for and against, on this idea will be greatly appreciated. Ideally, the best would be the best, but my inexperience with a finite financial resource allows more towards practicality. Many thanks already for this website full of knowledge.ReplyDelete

I love the information in your blog. I have just finished a chair that is approx 100 years old with the help of an upholsterer from a community education class. It has been a grand learning experience. I had straw that he had me fluff and put back on. We added coconut fiber and did a light sanding of the wood. I wanted to keep its rustic charm.ReplyDelete
I am currently redoing two cushions from another chair that was given to me - it has a marshal unit in the back cushion and a wire box spring unit in the seat.
I love putting stuff back the way it was.... straw and springs. Trying to stay away from the foam. Love the art ....Thank you.

I have a vanity seat that had the brand name fitsus tag w/ I believe black horse hair any ideas?ReplyDelete
Hi there! I have a chair that I'm working on and I've discovered a layer of stuffing that I can't identify. The bottom is a plastic mesh, the next layer appears to be coconut fiber or hog hair, and the top layer is cotton. But the middle layer is very strange. It's green, and there is a layer of fine green dust on the frame under it. What could this be? Please tell me I'm not looking at some form of arsenic or chemical fire retardant. Actually, please tell me if is so I can protect myself accordingly! Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
It's impossible to tell without a photo. It could be green coloured foam, green tinted rubberized hair, some kind of coloured felt, etc. If the chair is old, I would doubt that it has anything fire retardant in it, or dangerous, but again... impossible to tell without a photo or a better description.Delete
Here's a link to a blog post with pics.Delete
I think it's rubberized hair... but would LOVE your input!
Hi Lauren, I had a look, and it definitely looks like a regular pad of rubberized horse hair. I believe the green dust is the rubber coating on the hair starting to fail after a few decades. As for whether or not it contains any fire retardants or harsh chemicals, that I can't say for sure. You can definitely take it out side, beat the rest of the dust and powder out of the pad and re-use it. If you're very worried, you can replace it with new horse hair (hand-bunched in place to form a new pad, or as a pre-purchased pad). Alternatively a layer of foam the same dimensions could be used there. I would keep the original stuff, but it's entirely up to you.Delete
Thanks JC. I feel pretty comfortable with it, now that I think I know what it is. I was actually pretty impressed with the quality of the stuffing, so I really want to use it. Thanks for weighing in!Delete

A bill to force government agencies to get warrants before they access the email of people under investigation advanced in the U.S. House of Representatives after a majority of lawmakers signed on as co-sponsors. Advocates of the reform, which have included large tech companies such as Google, welcomed the news of 218 lawmakers signing on to the bill in the Republican-controlled House.

https://www.idtheftcenter.org/data-breaches/If you've been reading headlines, it's easy to be pessimistic about corporate security. The Identity Theft Resource Center tracked 1,093 breaches in 2016 — a 40% increase over the previous year. Although some of that increase comes from better reporting, it can be hard to look at a list of 36,601,939 breached records and think "we're winning this."
But there's good news, too. Although breaches are still far too common, we're seeing signs of a profound change in security awareness among businesses and consumers, and the development of more effective security tools to protect them.
1. Encryption Awareness and Adoption Are Increasing
All businesses use email. Even those that rely on secure portals or messaging apps inevitably end up sharing confidential business information through email — for example when a business partner or customer contacts them. The question is whether they're using a secure email provider for business data protection, or sending information unencrypted, where anyone could intercept it.
It appears adoption of encryption is reaching a tipping point. For the first time, a majority of organizations understand the importance of encryption. And more than ever before, organizations are following up their security awareness with action.
2. Consumers Are Driving Business Data Protection
If you ask a consumer how they feel about breaches that affect their data or accounts, of course they're going to express a negative opinion. However, some business experts have been suspicious of the actual effect on consumer behavior, believing consumers will quickly move on with little customer churn. But a new study shows that consumers are voting for business data protection with their wallets.
Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University tracked the behavior of bank customers for five years, and measured how "unauthorized fraudulent transactions" affected their behavior. They found that users were 3% more likely to leave the bank within 6 months of being the victims of fraud. Long-term customers weren't immune to this effect — in fact, churn was greatest among those who had been with the bank the longest.
It might not sound like it, but this is good news, because it shows that business data protection yields significant ROI. Security teams historically have had trouble getting the resources they need, so studies like this provide solid financial arguments for investing in business data privacy.
3. The Virtru Platform Provides Total Business Data Protection
Business data protection is easy if it's your top priority, but keeping data safe without undermining productivity is much trickier. Virtru started as a tool to send secure emails and files without disrupting your workflow, but the goal was always much bigger — to keep business data private and secure across all the apps you depend on, without complicating your workflow.
The Virtru Platform, can use the same approach to protect other applications. Real-time communications, Salesforce or Workday data, or onsite files being migrated to the cloud are encrypted throughout their journey to prevent interception.
Business Data Protection — Because Your Customers Matter
We're not a secure society yet — we're not even close — but companies and consumers are starting to wake up. Show your customers and business partners you value their security by taking a stand for business data protection. These resources will help you get started:

being on the right side
it is said that berivity is the essence of eloquence.
i beg to differ. i think that being on the right side of things is really the essence of eloquence, and can even cure the ills of verbosity and inarticulation.
being on the right side of history makes things so much easier.
2 Responses to "being on the right side"
well, it is convoluted. the tyrant who orders to kill people does so in few words (based on an brief analysis laden with certainty) and there is no reason not to think that he may be articulate and eloquent. at the same time he might be on the wrong side of things. on the other hand, one comes to the conclusion that he or she is on the right side of things in two ways: intuitively or through thinking and deliberation. if i have thought through things and can't articulate my thoughts ,then i might have not thought that well and profoundly enough. in this case stumbling can be taken as an indication that " me being on the right side of things" may just be a result of pure guess or intuition. now, if i am caught up in verbosity and stumble on words, then one may ask : why is that?
where is the right side? sorry.. am so confused these days..

Urgently in need of a sweet treat? Microwave chocolate mug cake is the simplest of recipes and will be ready in 3 minutes flat.
I'm a big believer in comfort food. Don't get me wrong, we shouldn't be eating ourselves silly when the going gets tough, but sometimes an indulgent treat can make the world of difference. In an effort to be more healthy, I try not to keep too much unhealthy food in the house but Chocolate Mug Cake can be whipped up from ingredients easily found in the cupboard.
The best thing? Even a culinary disaster zone can get this hyggeligt recipe right!
- 4 x table spoons self raising flour
- 4 x table spoons caster sugar
- 2 x table spoons cocoa powder (instant hot chocolate will do!)
- 1 egg
- 3 x table spoons milk
- 3 x table spoons vegetable/sunflower oil
- Optional – chocolate chips/Smarties/M&Ms
- Mix the three dry ingredients together in a large mug (you don't want it going over the edge while microwaving).
- Add in the egg and mix thoroughly. Try not to leave any dry ingredients, but don't worry too much if you do.
- Add the milk & oil and mix the ingredients until smooth. If you're adding in extra goodies, whack them in now.
- Pop the mug in the microwave for 1.5-2 minutes, or until the cake is risen and firm. Don't leave it in for too long, or you'll end up with very dry cake! Sprinkle some icing sugar on if you feel like looking fancy, devour if not.
The benefit of making your own treats is knowing exactly how much sugar you're eating. Chocolate mug cake is easily my go to when I need a chocolate fix, but even I can't kid myself it's not unhealthy! Microwave cakes are also a great way to experiment for the baking novice, why not pick up a recipe book to get yourself started?

Today was our first online chat and we talked literally for hours.... so much to talk about. Sir was more than willing to answer any questions i had and He had some questions of His own to ask. i did not mind answering most questions, but the thought of opening up still scares me in some ways. A lot of the questions i ask are about Him and this lifestyle. We discuss my submission and what i am feeling and wishing to learn. He tells me about Himself and some of the things He has experienced in His life. i know that i was nervous at first, but now it seems a little silly that i was, for He was easy to talk to, and i find myself opening up. Slowly at first to be sure, but there is something there, in me, something i am starting to feel that screams at me to open up and trust. A gut feeling, an instinct. i did not know it, but as He pointed out in our next conversation, there was a Dominant/submissive connection starting to build between us, something i was starting to feel, but was not able to describe for everything was so new for me. As i learn more about this lifestyle, my submission and Him, i find myself being very thankful i have Him to speak to and learn from. i truly look forward to our discussions in the future.

Am] Shady Grove, [G] my little love,
[Am] Shady [G] Grove I [Am] know
[Am] Shady Grove, [G] my little love,
I'm [Am] bound for the [G] Shady [Am] Grove.
Peaches in the summertime, apples in the fall
If I can't have my Shady Grove, I'll have no one at all.
Cheeks as red as a blooming rose, eyes of the deepest brown
She is the darling of my heart, prettiest girl in town.
The first time I saw Shady Grove, she was standing at the door,
Shoes and stockings in her hand, little bare feet on the floor.
I wish I had a glass of wine and bread and meat for two;
I'd set it all on a golden plate and give it all to you.
If I had no horse at all I'd be found a-crawlin'
Up and down this mountain road, a-looking for my darling–
The very next time I go that road, and it don't look so dark and grazy,
The very next time I come that road, I'll stop and see my daisy.

Pinstripe Press
Although I love my Yankees, I always find there are players that just make my skin crawl.
This year that player is Tyler Clippard. Each time he goes to the mound I cringe. Occasionally he pitches fine. Most days I watch him and he blows the game or puts men on base or blows up someone else's game. His line looks fine, but he just is so unpredictable.
The Yanks rave about their bullpen. I don't think it is that good. Aroldis Chapman and Dellin Betances are excellent. After that there is no one I feel we can count on.
No one is perfect, but when a game is close in the 7th inning I get nervous.
I would rather keep in a starting pitcher with 120 pitches than rely on one of our relievers.
Who do you feel confident in?
Please keep voting at mlb.com for the all-star game. Aaron Judge and Starlin Castro have good chances of making it. I truly believe Brett Gardner deserves to be there as well. Also, please vote for New Britain's George Springer. He is not getting enough votes.
I did vote Gary Sanchez because I think the second half of last year should count for something.
The rest of the bases are really up for grabs for me. I chose some Yankees, but really went with the most deserving players.
We take on the rival Red Sox week. I think it will be as tough as usual. I hope to win the 2 out if 3 in the series. Boston really is the team to beat in the American League East. If the Yankees match up well against them, I think we can win the division.
If not, then the rest of the season could be a battle.
On the weekend we take on Baltimore.
Yanks need to win these divisional battles.
Go team!

"We don't stop going to school when we graduate." ~ Carol Burnett
It has almost been a full month since I graduated with my bachelors; however, it only feels as if I am just on winter break. Now that my roommate has gone back to school, reality is finally setting in; I am now an alumni of Fort Lewis College. Alike many others who have already graduated, and many who have yet to feel this phenomenon, it gives me mixed emotions.

Loudoun's Giving Continues to Lag Behind the Rest of Virginia
For a second year, research conducted by the Chronicle of Philanthropy to measure charitable giving reveals lackluster household giving in Loudoun County.
While most of Loudoun's neighboring counties reported an increase in giving between the study's release first in 2014 and again in 2017, Loudoun residents' giving rates have remained flat.
The most recent study reflects spending in 2015. Loudoun residents gave 1.9 percent of their income. That equates to a median gift of $3,685. Their generosity lagged behind nearby counties and the state average. That same year, Fauquier County residents gave 3.2 percent of their income, Clarke County gave 2.8 percent, Fairfax County gave 2.6 percent, and Virginians on average gave 2.9 percent of their income.
The study, How America Gives, offers an analysis of the giving patterns of Americans who earn $50,000 or more annually and who itemize charitable deductions on their income-tax returns for 2012 and 2015.
Itemized giving of these taxpayers represents nearly 80 percent of all individual charitable contributions and offers the best comparison into giving at local levels, according to Amy Owen, president of the Community Foundation for Loudoun and Northern Fauquier Counties. It also includes giving to places of worship and nonprofits serving education, health, animal welfare and other charities.
The key measure is the giving ratio, Owen stated. This is the total of a locality's charitable contributions as a share of its total adjusted gross income. For instance, if itemizing taxpayers in a given area earned on average of $100,000 and gave away $3,000, that area's giving ratio would be 3 percent.
If Loudoun County's giving were equal to the giving rate of Virginia's overall giving ratio of 2.9 percent, it would generate an additional $155,000,000 for charity, according to the Community Foundation for Loudoun and Northern Fauquier Counties.
The first How America Gives study released in 2014 prompted the charitable foundation to launch its Faces of Loudoun campaign. The campaign spotlights Loudoun residents who have relied on the services of local nonprofits addressing homelessness, aging in place, intellectual and mental disabilities, domestic violence, health, addiction, teen suicide, mental health, hunger insecurity, and employment.
"Our research indicated that many of our local residents don't understand there is need in Loudoun County," Owen said.
After hosting a series of focus groups with a variety of people, ranging from first responders to business leaders, the responses revealed two key concerns, Owen said. "First, participants vocalized their perception of limited or no need in Loudoun. And, second, they exhibited a startling lack of awareness of existing nonprofits providing core safety net services in the community."
Launched in March 2017, the Faces of Loudoun campaign is based on the adage that "people give to people," explained Owen. "If we can help each other see the people their local gift helps, we can inspire more giving right here at home."
Throughout this year, the campaign will continue to feature local residents who've been helped by the nonprofit community, volunteers of some of the organizations, and some of the key nonprofit staff and leaders running the county's core safety net nonprofits.

San Francisco: Google's immensely popular Gboard keyboard application is likely to get a battery saver mode soon, as the company tests the latest Gboard beta version, the media reported.
The version 7.3 reveals development on a number of exciting features including a possible "OCR" (optical character recognition capability) tool that could be used to extract text from images.
"Gboard might soon gain a battery saver theme that can be enabled manually by the user or automatically by the device when the corresponding Android battery saver mode is enabled.
By switching to a dark theme and disabling some power hungry features. The battery saver mode can be enabled and disable manually, 9to5Google reported late on Tuesday. These could be apps like stickers and bitmoji.
The tech giant is also working on "OCR" capability that would appear as one of the tools alongside Google Translate, GIF and sticker shortcuts.
"One possible application would be launching it and snapping a picture, with Gboard working to grab the text for copying and pasting. Such functionality already exists within Google Lens, but would be very convenient directly in Gboard," the report said.

The discovery of materials with novel properties drives new technological advances. In order to discover new materials, we have to understand and control mechanisms that govern material properties. The development of supercomputers enables us to study materials computationally at length-scales that are commensurate with experiments. Our research interests lie in developing numerical algorithms that facilitate materials modeling, as well as applying existing computational tools to study material behavior. The current focus is on atomistic modeling of materials using molecular dynamics and density functional theory.More About Our Research

Larkin shoots for the starby Dana Wakiji / Detroit Red Wings
|The Red Wings and Dylan Larkin will be looking for two big points against Pittsburgh and its captain Sidney Crosby on Saturday afternoon. (Photo by Getty Images)
GROSSE POINTE WOODS, Mich. -- There's a famous Wayne Gretzky quote that says, "You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take."
Red Wings rookie Dylan Larkin has apparently taken those words to heart.
In Thursday night's game, Larkin had six shots, giving him 200 for the season.
Larkin, 19, is only the fifth rookie in franchise history to reach that mark, joining Marcel Dionne, Sergei Fedorov, Reed Larson and Dale McCourt.
He is only the 20th Wing to register 200 shots on goal in the last 29 seasons.
"It's always been a part of my game," Larkin said. "I think it's a sign of generating offense. You have to be in the offensive zone to have shots. I play with great players that find me and put me in good opportunities to shoot the puck. I always try going into a game to have at least four shots. To have a higher chance to score, you've got to be shooting to score."
Larkin has played regularly with Henrik Zetterberg, who is the next closest Wing in shots with 186.
Zetterberg has registered 200 or more shots in a season eight times and 300 or more four times.
Although the Wings usually like their young players to get seasoning in the American Hockey League, Larkin made the team out of training camp and hasn't looked back.
"He's done a good job," Wings coach Jeff Blashill said. "He's been given a heck of an opportunity, too, and earned that early and continued to get that and played with really good players. It's a combination of young guy who's very talented and who's driven, likes to shoot the puck and combined with playing with real good players and getting real good opportunity."
KRONWALL EXPECTED TO PLAY: The only Wing that did not practice at Grosse Pointe's University Liggett School Friday afternoon was defenseman Niklas Kronwall.
"We expect him (to play)," Blashill said. "Today was a maintenance day. We expect him to be able to play but we'll evaluate that tomorrow."
MANTHA AFTERMATH: Anthony Mantha has been overwhelmed with the texts and congratulatory messages he has received since scoring his first NHL goal Thursday night against the Montreal Canadiens.
But Mantha wanted to celebrate with his family and friends who came to the game, including his grandfather, Andre Pronovost, and grandmother Marie-Paul.
"I went out to dinner quickly with them," Mantha said. "They were all pretty excited obviously. We laughed about his little tears and it was just a little gag I think that's gonna be running now."
Larkin, who went through some of these same firsts early in the season, is getting a kick out of watching his teammate's experiences.
"It is cool to see someone else kind of going through, not all the attention, but a lot of media," Larkin said. "Scoring in his home debut, it is cool so happy for him. It turned out to be a big goal so it was great for him to score."
Mantha intends to get back to everyone, it just might take some time.
"I'll be honest, I didn't even reply to all of them right now," Mantha said. "I just wanted to keep the night without my phone last night, so I tried a little bit this morning, a little bit last night so I have a lot of answering to do today."
HERE COMES SIDNEY: Despite their 3-0 setback to the New Jersey Devils Thursday night, the Pittsburgh Penguins have been on a roll, winning six in a row before then.
Captain Sidney Crosby saw his 12-game point streak end Thursday but had six goals and 14 assists in that span.
"I don't think it's any surprise he's one of the best players in the league," Zetterberg said. "He had a little slow start to the year and a lot of people were worried, but I don't think a lot of players were worried. Just the overall what he's doing on the ice is pretty impressive and he does it year after year."
Since Mike Sullivan replaced Mike Johnston as coach Dec. 12, Crosby has 25 goals and 57 points in 43 games.
Crosby is now third in the league in scoring with 76 points, behind Chicago's Patrick Kane (92) and Dallas' Jamie Benn (82).
For kids like Larkin and Mantha, they actually grew up admiring Crosby.
"He was one of my favorite players when I was growing up," Larkin said. "It is cool to play against him and see how strong he is on the puck and how he makes the players around him better. It's fun playing against him."
It will be Mantha's first time facing Crosby and the Penguins.
"He's an unreal player, obviously," Mantha said. "He's producing a lot since January or something like that, so he's always a threat and we just have to play our game and be ready for the game."
Even without Evgeni Malkin, who is out injured, the Penguins are not a one-man team.
Defenseman Kris Letang is third among defensemen in scoring with 55 points, behind Ottawa's Erik Karlsson (75) and San Jose's Brent Burns (66).
"I don't think we can trade chance for chance with these guys," Larkin said. "I think we've got to limit turnovers because they've got a lot of speed and they're dangerous when they get on odd-man rushes. I think we've got to be physical on their D, their D love to jump up and they've got a lot of good skating defensemen so we've got to be ready to skate and get pucks behind their defensemen."
SAARIJARVI TO GRIFFINS: After a tumultuous season with the Flint Firebirds, defenseman Vili Saarijarvi has been assigned to the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins.
With the OHL's Firebirds, Saarijarvi had 12 goals and 31 assists in 59 games.


text: We love our Brown Bird Lunch Cooler Bag from Canadian company So Young Mother. Apparently, so do many of you - we have a hard time keeping it in stock. Now we find out it's a favourite of the Hollywood set too. Oscar winning actress Halle Berry was spotted carrying this same Birds Cooler Bag with her daughter Nahla in tow. It's no wonder. Not only is this bag free of nasties like PVC, lead and phthalates, but it's insulated, easy to clean and made with natural linen. The carry handle is adjustable so you can strap it to a stroller or another bag and it comes with detachable shoulder straps so you can always sling it over one or both shoulders and carry it on your back. The bird graphics are gorgeous and the zipper opens on three sides for easy packing plus there's an ID card inside and an exterior mesh pocket on back. Above all else, our absolute favourite thing about this cooler lunch bag is its upright style that allows for stacking containers or standing bottles upright. It's a great option for back to school or work lunches. For more details, click here.

A one-minute venture can keep your car sound and running easily Consider motor oil as the life's blood of your car's engine oil. Checking it all the time is a key piece of keeping your engine running admirably and receiving the most miles in return. The oil greases up the engine's inward moving parts, shielding them from wearing too rapidly. It likewise helps keep the engine clean, by forestalling earth development, and helps shield it from overheating.
Checking the oil level is a fast, simple occupation that we prescribe you do at each different gas top off. All you'll require is a cloth or paper towel, and your car's proprietor's manual on the off chance that you have questions.
Engine Oil, Check!
In the first place, check the proprietor's manual and take after the automaker's proposals. Some more current cars have electronic oil screens and don't have customary dipsticks for manual examination.
In the event that checking the oil yourself, ensure the car is stopped on level ground and, with most cars, the engine is frosty, so you don't consume yourself on a hot engine part. (With a few cars, the automaker suggests that the oil be checked after the engine has been warmed up.) With the engine off, open the car's hood and discover the dipstick. Haul the dipstick out from the engine and wipe any oil off from its end. At that point embed the dipstick once more into its tube and push everything the path back in.
Haul it pull out, and this time take a gander at the two sides of the dipstick to see where the oil is on the end. Each dipstick has some method for demonstrating the best possible oil level, regardless of whether it be two pinholes, the letters L and H (low and high), the words MIN and MAX, or essentially a territory of cross hatching. On the off chance that the highest point of the oil "streak" is between the two imprints or inside the crosshatched zone, the level is fine.
Check The Oil's Shading
Be that as it may, if the oil is underneath the base stamp, you have to include oil as portrayed beneath.
Additionally, check the oil's shading. It ought to seem dark colored or dark. Be that as it may, on the off chance that it has a light, smooth appearance, this could mean coolant is spilling into the engine. Look carefully for any metal particles, as well, as this could mean there is inside engine harm. On the off chance that you see both of these conditions, get the car to a repairman for encourage analysis. On the off chance that you presume a coolant spill, have the car towed.
In the case of everything's alright, wipe off the dipstick again and embed. It once more into its tube, ensuring it's completely situated. Close the hood and you're finished.
Step By Step Instructions To Add Oil
Utilize the review of oil prescribed in the proprietor's manual. It will for the most part have an assignment, for example, 0W-20 or 5W-30. You can get it by the quart at any administration station or vehicle parts store, and also in numerous general stores and markdown retailers.
To include oil, expel the oil filler top, normally situated over the car engine. Since overloading with oil is terrible for the engine, you should include oil a little at any given moment. Begin by including about a large portion of a quart. Utilizing a pipe maintains a strategic distance from spills. Hold up a moment or somewhere in the vicinity and check the dipstick once more. On the off chance that the level is still underneath or close to the base stamp. Include whatever is left of the quart. Unless your engine is spilling or consuming oil you will seldom need to include in excess of a quart. In any case, if a moment quart is required, include that in gradually also, checking as you go.

There are tons of ways in which content is advantageous for Google rankings, yet a fail-proof ranking opportunity is through well-written, original local keyword-optimized landing pages. For example, if you're searching for a bathroom plumbing, a well-written landing page that addresses about this might appear at the top of the results. Several technical SEO elements do not come close to the capability of the locally optimized landing pages for local SEO search ranking.
You may hire a professional team to make a winning landing page. This is a smart move and a good investment that will save your money and time while fostering the right environment for high sales and conversations. There are also different simple SEO techniques that may help you achieve strong local SEO rankings and these include:
Optimize the Tags You Are Using
The H1 headings, title tags, meta descriptions, and alt tags are all important components in SEO formula. To win on local levels, a simple addition to every tag can make a big impact throughout your state and city.
Pay Attention to URLs
There is no tweaking your homepage link. It is an established address. A change can be catastrophic on each level. However, you may tweak the URLs to several pages on your website to add state and city information.
Polish Your Citations
Many experts recommend that the local citations are a must due to the reason that these are important in enhancing rankings. Commonly, citations are referred to as NAP information. These include address, name, and phone number. Google expects this information to be on your own website and some important websites including social media, Yelp, and so on. If your information is not spread around, it may hurt your rankings.
Embed the Google Map
Experts also point out that including embedded Google Map is essential for your local SEO strategy, yet it's crucial to do this correctly. Never just embed the map that points to your address. But rather, embed the map that basically points to your actual local listing on Google Plus because this is much effective.
Plan for Your Website Content for Local Optimization
Effective website content is the key to improve your rankings. A simple way to locally optimize is by building your state or city info into your content. See to it that you build this naturally. A good copywriter or internet marketing company can be an effective tool in this area.
Your content is the core of your landing pages. Optimizing your local SEO with effective content is simple, yet there are some pitfalls if you forced to insert keywords as well as duplicate content that you have to avoid. As you improve your local SEO rankings, you have to ensure that you keep those tips in mind and never be afraid of asking a professional for help. The best SEO company or internet marketing company will help you ensure that you are on the right track when optimizing your local SEO. Just choose the one that will give you quality services.
