Ideas for Displaying Fabric Samples?
Q: I've been wanting to frame some fabric samples for a while now, so I picked up a few while I was in the Garment District last week. I snagged this gorgeous strip of pine-colored beaded fabric that is long and thin, about 9"x3" (a letter-sized envelope is next to it for reference). I have no idea how I should frame or display it. I'd prefer for it to be centered in a larger frame, kind of like the second picture, which is another sample I bought the same day, but I don't want to pay to have a frame custom made, and it's an unusual size. Any ideas, suggestions, inspiration?
Editor: Leave your suggestions for AJ in the comments — thanks!

How to buy a used wetsuit? If you've read the complete wetsuit guide you should already know a great deal about wetsuits in general. Here you can find some tips and tricks that will help you avoid being screwed when buying a used wetsuit.
It Stinks
When you buy a used wetsuit you have to know that older wetsuits tend to get a bit smelly from the constant wetness and sea water. You also need to get over the fact that most wetsuit owners pee in their wetsuits. I know people that really never pee in their suit but they are really rare.
Why? It makes you feel warm on a cold day (yuck!) and there is just too much hassle to get out of the water, undress, pee, get dressed again, get back in the water… also cold water makes you pee more often or better, if you feel cold you pee more often. So if you are too disgusted by this, you should get a new wetsuit. But reasonably new used wetsuit, washed with piss-off liquid and/or even washed in a washing machine once (you can make one exception to the no washing machine rule) – should smell nice and fresh.
Then pee in it yourself and mark your territory :).
How long does a wetsuit last?
What is an average lifespan of a wetsuit? It is good to know, when buying a used wetsuit, that wetsuits do not really last that long. It depends on the abuse the owner puts on his wetsuit, how often does he or she use it and how good do they take care of their wetsuit.
A top-of-the-line high-performance wetsuit should last a season if you're a hardcore user and you use it more than 3 times a week and two seasons if you use it less. If you do not use it very much it can last 3-5 seasons or even more, but the thing with neoprene is that it will age and deteriorate if you use it or if you don't. The elasticity of a wetsuit will change even if it is hung in your closet all the time. A suit that is used daily will stretch out over time, but a suit that is never used will begin to harden and seem to have "shrunk" when put on.
Top of the line wetsuit? If you noticed, we mentioned top of the line wetsuit. Lifespan of a high performance wetsuit with super stretchy and soft rubber is shorter that a lifespan of a slightly lower-end wetsuit. That is because high tech stretchy rubber breaks down quicker than the harder, cheaper stuff. So there is a trade off between warmth and flexibility on one side and longer lasting wetsuit on the other.
Taking care of the wetsuit is a really big issue here. If a wetsuit is rinsed in fresh water and dried in a shade after every use, that can extend its life for quite some time. On the other hand, if it is dried in the hot sun, it will die much sooner. Sun is the wetsuits biggest enemy.
At the end it is also a matter of perspective, one mans old wetsuit could be just the thing a beginner needs.
4 Things To Look For When Buying Used Neoprene Wetsuit
Let's say that you know what kind of used wetsuit you want – a used shorty, used longsuit, how thick you want your neoprene to be, what other features etc. Now let's say you are holding a used wetsuit that you like in your hands. What to look for?
- General look of the neoprene and
- Neoprene flexibility
- Stitches
- Holes
If you know how new neoprene feels like, you can quickly tell the difference between new and old neoprene:
- Old neoprene gets thiner in places with a lot of streching – less warmth, looser neoprene and more chance of a tear,
- If neoprene has colored outside lining, the color of the nylon will be pale, if the wetsuit is old,
- If the wetsuit is really old, also black double lined neoprene will be pale.
Make sure you know if you are buying a wetsuit made of ordinary neoprene or more elastic neoprene, the difference is evident. Then test how flexible the neoprene still is. The harder, stiffer and more stretched out the neoprene, the older it is (or it was drying in the sun a lot). Less flexible neoprene means worse fit, less comfortable wetsuit and more constricted movement. Neoprene deteriorates with age, so the age of the suit is also an issue.
Inspect the seams and bear in mind the type of stitches we mentioned in the wetsuit guide. The better the construction, the warmer and more expensive the wetsuit. Then look for any tearing of the seams and cracking of the glue that helps hold neoprene panels together. This can be a little harder to repair, plus tearing and cracking of the seams in one place can tell you they will soon start to behave the same in other places too.
Holes in neoprene itself are cheap to repair if they are not to big (around up to 4 inches), so if you can get a good deal on an otherwise good wetsuit with a hole – go for it. This is the most obvious mistake a wet can have and can help you get a better price even if it's not that big of a deal. Of course – if you want to your your new used suit right away, then stay away from the holes.
Hope this helps, if you have any questions – put them in the comments.

"I hate running, it's not for me. I can work out at a gym, but I can't run. I'm too busty. I'm too busy. I have a family history of bad knees. I get shin splints real bad. I get bored really easily. I don't want to get up that early. I can't leave my house because my kids are too little."
I had a little voice of "reason" in my head once upon a time who fed me this list of garbage every time I thought about going for a run. Something in my gut told me it would be a good idea, and then something in my head convinced me it wasn't.
And then despite my little demon, I decided to try it anyway. And I found to my surprise that I really enjoyed it. I can't say, even now, that I absolutely love it while I'm doing it, but I love how I feel afterwards. That shower after a good run is a little piece of heaven. I also love that I'm out of the house for a little while, and for a stay at home mom that can be worth almost everything. Even if it means getting sweaty.
Since I was not a run-lover beforehand, I thought I would share a few tips that got me moving in the right direction.
- Try doing Couch to 5K if you've never run before. You can download the app on your phone and it tells you when to run and when to stop while you're running. Pretty cool. I also enjoy the Trackometer app, which shows me on a map where I've run, how far I ran, and how long it took me to run it.
- On that note, start small. Work up to a mile. Then two. Don't try to do too much too fast or you will not enjoy it and it will be easier to give up sooner.
- Bring some tunes with you. My biggest hurdle was distracting myself through the parts where I thought I couldn't go any further. Music helps with that (make sure to select the songs you want ahead of time so you don't find yourself trying to reach your hand over to your other arm where your phone is secured and figure out how to smartphone your way into skipping a song you don't like and finally getting so frustrated that you have to stop running, take out your phone, and start the whole playlist over again because you can't figure out how to run and skip songs at the same time…hypothetically…). Or download your favorite audio book- anything to help you forget that you are actually running.
- If you can't go any further, then don't go any further right now. Stop, walk, keep your body moving, and when you're ready, start again. This actually causes your heart to work harder and burns more calories. But make sure you keep going and don't just stop all together!
- Go shopping! This sounds vain, but I was far more motivated to run when I knew I had some cute new peppy running clothes to go out in. Plus I found it much nicer to run in clothes that breathe a little instead of an old cotton tee-shirt and heavy sweatpants.
- This one was a struggle for me, but PLEASE, save your money and get a NEW pair of running shoes. Have someone fit you and make sure you are getting a shoe that will support you from your toes up. Paying for shoes is less costly than paying for injuries that could follow you for years. Trust me, it makes a difference. You want to feel like you are running on air and not like you have cement blocks tied to your feet.
- Run somewhere different everyday. Not only is this a safer thing to do (for women running early in the morning alone, it's always good to be cautious), but it helps spice things up a little. Even if you have to drive somewhere first, run somewhere you will enjoy running to break out of the monotony.
Above all, b r e a t h e . And remind yourself of that shower when you get home. It will be worth it, just get out there and assure yourself of the wonderful things your body is capable of doing.

Anderson Manufacturing
Company Schooling and Jobs Sherwood Anderson rarely attended school. He was kept busy helping to support his family with jobs such as, newsboy, housepainter, stable groom, ect. Sherwood was given the nickname "Jobby" because of all the jobs he took on. When Sherwood was 17, he moved to Chicago where he attended business classes at night, and became a warehouse laborer. In 1885, Sherwood enrolled in the National Guard and served in the Spanish-American war. After the war, he returned to school in Ohio for his final year of schooling at Wittenberg Academy in Springfield. Anderson's passion for literature grew not long after his Manufacturing company took off. During his free time, he wrote. On November 28th of 1912, Sherwood "left business for literature", leaving a note on Cornelias desk saying, " There is a bridge over a river with cross-ties before it. When I come to that I'll be all right. I'll write all day in the sun and the wind will blow through my hair." He traveled to Chicago and took a job as a copy-writer at the Taylor-Critchfield Advirtising Company, only visiting his family on weekends. Sherwood's writing style in "The Egg" is based off of personal expiriences. He plays an important role in this story being the central storyteller. Sherwood Anderson "The Egg" Genre: Short fiction and Realism. "The Egg" is based partially off of personal expiriences throughout Sherwood Anderson's life. An English teacher would assign this story to a class so that they can make observations and draw comparisons between the authors life and his stories. Time and Culture Sherwood Anderson is from the beginning of the twenieth century in northern United States. In the short story "The Egg" there are many examples of the time and culture. In "The Egg", the father raises chickens in a chicken farm. This shows the culture of Ohio in this particular time period because in the twenieth century, Ohio was a big farming state. In "The Egg", there are examples of twenieth century resources. "When he did so he blew out the light.." This brings in the understanding of the time period. It shows that they did not have electricity in their house and instead had to use candles. This understanding of time and culture helps us make connections in the reading. The Life of
Sherwood Anderson Sherwood Anderson was born into a poor family, son of Irwin and Emma Smith Anderson, on September 13, 1876 in Camden, Ohio. His family constantly moved from place to place in search of work. He later moved to Clyde, Ohio (which was a big influence for the setting of many of his works). When Anderson married Cornelia Lane in 1904, he accepted a job where he became the president of the United Factories Company. They moved to Cleveland so he could pursue his job. In 1907, Anderson thought he needed to make more money to support their growing family. He started up his own company which carried a product called "Roof-fix". By 1908 the Anderson Manufacturing Company was a success. Andersons Start to Literature Contributions to Literature Anderson began writing many poems and short stories then eventually published many novels. Andersons stories became known as giving voice to small town American individuals. Genre Theme Sherwood Anderson was part of a group in Chicago called the Chicago Group. The group included writers Carl Sandburg and Theodore Deiser. Figurative Language Figurative Language: Ex. The American passion for getting up in the world took possession of them.

Sherwood Anderson. 13 Nov. 2012 <http://www.umich.edu/~eng217/student_projects/anderson/biography.htm>. Quotes "Anderson's interest in the emerging world of American industry had previously been reflected in the agrarian-industrial conflict in Winesburg, Ohio, Poor White, and many of his short stories, including 'The Egg' and 'Ohio Pagan.' [Then], however, his concern with industrialism became much more politically focused" (Esplugas) "There is something about prosperity, the hunger for it, the pretense in all these middle-class Americans, that makes the soul sick." (Esplugas) "It is possible that Anderson found his inspiration to write the strangest story in Winesburg, Ohio, 'Tandy,' in an equally strange Sologub story called 'The White Mother.' Both stories deal with a disillusioned young man gripped by a vision of the perfect woman, called by one 'Tamar' and the other 'Tandy.'" (Campbell) Theme: Ambition is a major theme in the story. The desire for his father wanting to become successful in life is gradually fading throughout the story. When his father finally realizes he is going nowhere, everything starts to go down hill. Questions What was one of Sherwood Anderson's biggest influences from his
personal life, that were incorporated into his stories? What was the genre of the short story "The Egg"? Do you think the time and culture of the short story helped you get a
better understanding of it? If so, why?

Horse Description: Lola was gently started under saddle by Sarah Welty of Rider Revelations in Keymar, MD. Great ground manners and lovely temperament.
Lunges well with side reins and has done some long-lining. She loves going over trot poles and small jumps while on the lunge line.
She has been introduced to the tarp, flag, pool noodles and bridges. Lola is currently going under saddle walk/trot/canter. She has gone cross country schooling at Loch Moy Farms and tackled some of the baby beginner novice jumps with enthusiasm. Her favorite part was trotting through the water! She has been out on the trails several times and she seems quite at home in the woods especially if she gets the chance to stop and play in the water along the way.
She has a gorgeous trot and an unflappable nature that will help her become a great pleasure, trail or even a lower level dressage horse or hunter.
Lola is still a bit leery of the veterinarian and vaccinations so these issues still need to be worked with everyday to help her overcome her fear. She has improved with the farrier wonderfully but does seem to prefer the female farrier over the male farrier!

You already know that Nick Jonas idolizes Elvis Costello — but did you know he also digs the Band? At the Jonas Brothers' January 4th show in Nashville, the trio busted out a cover of the Band's classic 1968 track "The Weight" with help from Vince Gill, Phil Vassar and Christian artists Steven Curtis Champman and Michael W. Smith. (Think The Last Waltz, but with more Jesus and less pot.)
"That chorus is undeniably perfect for a group of people to sing together," says Nick, who was inspired to tackle the harmony-heavy tune by his manager, a die-hard Band fan. "We were sitting up there like a supergroup — it was so cool."
The Bros also put their spin on Tom Petty's "Free Fallin'," Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" (on which Jordin Sparks duetted), Don McLean's "American Pie" and Bob Marley's "Waiting in Vain." "We pick our cover choices by the city we're in," says Nick. "Obviously, 'Waiting in Vain' isn't from Nashville, but that's one our band really likes to play, so we let them showcase their musical abilities."
Despite the unorthodox (by Jonas standards) covers, the sold-out crowd was loving the set list. "Some of the younger fans didn't know the lyrics," says Nick. "But for the most part, people 16 and up were singing every word." So which beloved tunes are the Jonases going to dust off next? "[Elton John's] 'Tiny Dancer' might happen in the future," says Nick. "And one day, maybe we'll do 'Allison' with Mr. Costello." He pauses, suddenly sounding shy. "Actually, there's this really cool transition of 'A Little Bit Longer' that I already worked into it."

text: As reported by Balidiscovery.com [What's up, Dock?], the RoRo ferry service operating between the Bali ports of Kusamba and Nusa Penida was interrupted when the ship, Nusa Jaya Abadi, departed for Surabaya to undergo an annual docking on November 13, 2010.As a result, the large number of passengers travelling between Bali and the nearby island of Nusa Penida have been forced to use local boats which are often dangerously overloaded.Fortunately, the promised replacement vessel redeployed from Ternate has now arrived in Bali and commenced service on Friday, November 19, 2010.Bali Post reports that the replacement vessel is being allowed to run two round trips each day when, in fact, repeated requests form the Nusa Jaya Abadi to increase its daily frequency from one to two were always rejected, claiming two trips would constitute too much competition for local boat operators in Padang Bai.The replacement vessel departs Bali at 6:00 am and 11:00 am every day. The ships has a reduced capacity in comparison with the Nusa Jaya Abadi. The replacement ship is capable of carrying only 12 vehicles and 60 passengers. Due to these capacity issues, port authorities are giving first priority to trucks carrying basic goods and supplies from Bali to Nusa Penida.The Nusa Jaya Abadi will remain in dock in Surabaya until December 3, 2010, when it is scheduled to return to service between Kusama and Nusa Penida.

What's in a rivalry game?
by Ryan Coleman on Oct.01, 2010, under football, Rivalry Week
What school makes your blood boil? When I was in high school (DeLaSalle in Minneapolis) we played a certain private school (Minnehaha Academy) in everything. And beating them was the most important thing in the world. We could be 0-6 on the season in football, soccer, basketball, baseball, volleyball, whatever sport and we'd have a 50-50 shot to beat them.
This weekend Saint John's University faces the University of Saint Thomas in Collegeville, Minnesota. Big game. But just how big is it, exactly?
- For the first time (that I know of) St. Thomas has a higher ranking than St. John's.
- The MIAC attendance record for a football game is 13,107 – set on the day of SJU's head coach John Gagliardi's 409th career victory – passing Eddie Robinson on the all-time list – November 8, 2003. Last year's attendance was announced at 12,903. In an email from SJU the crowd is expected to be approximately 15,000.
Rivalries bring out the best and the worst in fans. Gene McGivern, the UST SID, wrote about the stats this year, and the shirts in a bit of humor in 2006 and again in 2009:
5) Speaking of T-shirts, do you remember that one for the Tommie-Johnnie football game in 1987 that said… (CENSORED)… or the one from the 2000 game that said (CENSORED)… Last fall's one was pretty good, too, the one with the picture of (CENSORED) that read (CENSORED).
Gene's a funny guy.
But I don't want this to be all about the Johnnie/Tommie game this weekend. I've been doing some research and there are some fairly important, big rivalries around Division III (on Wikipedia there are 45 listed):
- The Dutchmen's Shoes (RPI / Union) – October 30
- Monon Bell (DePauw / Wabash) – November 13
- Biggest Little Game in America (Amherst / Williams) – November 13
- Cortaca Jug (Ithaca / Cortland) – November 13
- Cereal Bowl (Carleton / St. Olaf) – October 16
- And many others.
The amazing piece is if you sort the list on Wikipedia, 11 of the 45 rivalries have been going on since the 19th century: The Amherst/Williams rivalry being the oldest in Div III, starting in 1884 (bested by Harvard/Yale and Lafayette/Lehigh in Division I).
The Battle for the Shoes – Occidental / Whittier – October 2
From Occidental College's website:
Since 1946 the Poets and Tigers have played for a pair of bronzed cleats, worn by 1940 Whittier graduate Myron Claxton, in a rivalry game that has grown to be called the "Battle for the Shoes".
On the Thursday evening prior to the scheduled meeting of the teams in 1939, members of the Occidental football team stole the All-American running backs shoes from the locker room, forcing Claxton to play in his work boots. Even so, Claxton led the Poets to a 36-0 victory as they went on to win the SCIAC title that year.
Following the game Claxton, who was the final draft pick of the Giants in the 1940 NFL draft, went over to the Oxy sideline and retrieved his shoes, "bringing them home". Seven years later members of the Franklin Society, which Claxton was a member, had the shoes bronzed and the teams have played for the coveted "Shoes" trophy ever since.
Occidental and Whittier have faced each other an impressive 102 times, and since the introduction of the trophy they are knotted up at 33-33. Oxy holds the advantage historically 52-48-2.
The Drum – Occidental / Pomona-Pitzer – October 30
The third-oldest rivalry on the west coast, this dates back to 1895. They have played for The Drum since 1941, after the alumni associations of each school came up with the idea. Oxy holds this advantage 60-48-3.
Monon Bell – DePauw / Wabash – November 13
The third-oldest rivalry in the Midwest, this one dates back to 1890. I cannot do this game justice. Because it is held on the final day of the season it hasn't been one I've been able to get to in years past. It's only 10 hours from Minneapolis, maybe this is the year I go. Who wants to come with? Wabash leads 54-53-9
Cereal Bowl – the Battle for the goat – Carleton / St. Olaf – October 16
I won't try to rephrase anything that Pat Coleman wrote in 2008 about this cross-town battle between liberal arts colleges in Northfield, Minn. This year the game is scheduled to be held in Laird Stadium, which only in the last few days has begun to be relieved of water from the flooding Cannon River. Will it be moved to St. Olaf or played at Northfield H.S. (as Carleton's homecoming will be played this weekend)? Time will tell.
This match-up is stranger than it looks, too, as they played the only NCAA-sanctioned football game in metric in 1977 (the Oles won that game 43-0). St. Olaf leads the series 46-42-1.
Coe vs Cornell – November 13
While they don't play for a trophy, or a big-title game, this match-up is the oldest west of the Mississippi River, dating back to 1891. There's some debate over who won their 1902 game, so it's either Coe's lead at
65-59-4 or 64-60-4 65-50-4 or 64-51-4. Read more in a 1999 D3football.com Around the Nation column.
What are your rivalries all about? We know there are more, I can only write so much before I cannot keep my notes straight so I ask that you include your own rivalries, or simply expand on mine.

It seems I just made a storm of improvements but here are some more.
- You can now add your Gamertag to your profile. New users can do this at registration, and current users can click on "User control Panel" in the somewhat-upper (heh) left menu (ie., "User Control Panel (0 new messages) • View your posts")
- You can now add your twitter ID as well via the same process.
- Every topic now has the option to share that topic with external social networks such as facebook, myspace, orkut, twitter and more. Simply look at the top of the first post in that topic where you normally would find the edit button if your the author, and you will find the related icons.
There were a few more changes but they are all back-end to improve performance.

I've read the various posts here and elsewhere about the former use of radium on watch dials. It seems the consensus is that the real danger was for watchmakers, and that simply wearing a wristwatch with radium painted numbers poses no danger for the wearer as the radiation cannot penetrate the case and crystal.
Well, 4 or 5 years ago I purchased this HMT as new old stock.
Just a reminder, these watches were made in India (by the Hindustan Machine Tool company) and are marked with a broad arrow and a W10/6645 stock number. I have read that they were manufactured in the 60s and issued to commonwealth troops during the conflict in Indonesia (1965) as well as to Indian troops during the Indo-Pakistani war of 1965.
I have never worn the watch, but when I put it away I put a protective plastic film on the rather soft-looking acrylic crystal. Went to wind the watch the other and spotted something I had never noticed before - what appears to be radium burn on the plastic film. Worrying?

A non-bailable arrest warrant was issued against Subrata Roy, owner of New York's Plaza Hotel, among much else, by India's Supreme Court Wednesday after the businessman who is embroiled in a long-running legal battle against market regulator Securities & Exchange Board of India (SEBI), failed to show up for a court hearing.
The two-judge bench had little sympathy for the reason cited by Roy's counsel as to why he couldn't appear in person: apparently the businessman was at the bedside of his ailing 92 year-old mother "holding her hand." Roy, who controls the Sahara India Group from Lucknow city, failed to turn up even after the court denied his plea seeking an exemption from a personal appearance. His counsel produced a medical certificate signed by two doctors from a Sahara-owned hospital where his mother is being treated.
"If other directors can appear, why can't you?," asked the judges adding that "the arms of this court are very long." Those 'arms' have hounded Roy since 2010 when his tussle with SEBI began over the issue of debentures by two Sahara companies. In 2012 he was directed by the court to refund an amount of $3.2 billion to investors of those debentures forthwith.
The market regulator's contention was that Sahara had no business to collect those funds without its approval; Roy countered that SEBI had no jurisdiction over that matter as the companies aren't listed and in any case, he claimed that the bulk of money had already been repaid. The battle has gone through all manner of twists and turns but in the latest round, it's clearly disadvantage Roy. The arrest order comes on top of a ban on him from travelling overseas. The court has also given permission to SEBI to sell some of Sahara's assets to recover the outstanding amount.
Roy, who is prone to releasing full page newspaper advertisements explaining his version of events, crafted another full page missive that was published in newspapers Thursday about what he insists is an unfair demand to appear in court when his mother is ill. To quote: "My earnest request to the administration is to help me on humanitarian grounds, as it involves the deep-rooted emotions of a son towards his mother."
Notwithstanding that impassioned plea, Roy offered an unconditional apology to the court for his no-show and sought an extension until March 4 to appear in court. However, when cops showed up at the family's palatial residence in Lucknow to arrest him, Roy was reportedly nowhere to be found, not even by his mother's bedside. In a press statement released Friday, Roy insisted that he is not absconding and was out consulting a a panel of doctors and a lawyer when the police came visiting. In another statement issued at a press conference in Delhi, his son Seemanto Roy has confirmed that his father has since surrendered to the police and has appealed to the court to recall the non-bailable warrant.
