My “GLASS BOTTLE MARKS” website attempts to discuss those subjects and more.Ī lot of great information about glass is already available on the web, as well as in many books and magazines, but I’ve tried to gather some of the very best, basic info together onto this site, in particular concentrating on glass manufacturers’ identification marks found on bottles, fruit jars, insulators and tableware. Antique bottles, Fruit jars, Glass electrical insulators, Fishing net floats, EAPG (Early American Pattern Glass), Depression Glass, Milk Glass, antique children’s mugs, and other items are some of the forms of glass I enjoy learning more about. I’m interested in the general history of the glass manufacturing industry in the United States, especially that of container glass, electrical insulators and tableware (both pressed and blown). ![]()

One of the most important benefits of using polyester as upholstery fabric is that it is easy to clean and fairly stain-resistant. It also comes in a wide range of colors and styles. As a synthetic fabric, polyester is one of the most durable and affordable fabrics that you can buy. Polyester Another excellent fabric choice for dining room chairs is 100% polyester. Alternately, you can treat the fabric with a stain-resistant spray to help lower absorption. This is because the large percentage of cotton still makes the fabric highly absorbent. For dining room chairs, a 50/50 cotton and polyester blend or a 60% cotton and 40% polyester blend works best.Įven cotton and polyester blended fabric is somewhat more durable and stain-resistant you will need to treat stains quickly. The higher percentage of polyester that is blended with cotton, the more durable it will be. Polyester makes the fabric more durable as well as increases its stain and water-resistant properties. This is not necessarily something you want for a dining room chair that could get exposed to drink spills and other liquids from foods.īecause of this, one of the best fabrics to blend with cotton is polyester. The problem with cotton by itself is that it is very absorbent. Cotton Blend Although cotton is a durable fabric, if it is taken care of properly, blending it with synthetic fabrics can increase its functionality. ![]() Each of the following fabrics is commonly used to upholster dining room chairs due to being functional and coming in many different styles.

The smart telescope that started it all remains one of the best, but there are caveats. ![]() Let's look at the best smart telescopes you can get right now. Far pricier than optical telescopes of similar quality, they nevertheless offer unrivaled convenience and many unique features. What these first-generation smart telescopes have in common are their astronomical prices. However, what makes the best smart telescopes so addictive is that they also take incredible images of all kinds of objects in the night sky. They use AI to align themselves with the night sky, providing apps that make it easy to ‘go to’ any object you want at the touch of a button. ![]() Not to be confused with the best computerized telescopes, smart telescopes are motorized and come equipped with both artificial intelligence (AI) and camera sensors. They also use cutting-edge astrophotography techniques, to locate faint objects in the night sky and then take long exposure images of them, merging one on top of the other to remove noise, battle the problem of light pollution and improve the image quality. Unlike some of the best telescopes for astrophotography, smart telescopes are easy for beginners to use. ![]() ![]() ![]() tutorial on installing blender/ and VSCode.

Now, fans can hear Stills smoothly singing, “I embrace the many-colored beasts” in the third verse without the catch in his voice between “I” and “embrace” - but the take isn’t nearly as emotional and raw.Īccording to Nash, he and Crosby persuaded Stills to go with the first take. “I’ve done songs where we’ve been into 50 takes, and after a dozen, you’re not singing the same song,” Nash says. Heard for the first time is the second take of “4 + 20,” which Stills had recorded to correct a flubbed line from the first attempt. Still, the box set is packed with gems and highlights, including Nash and Joni Mitchell’s intimate “Our House” duet on piano (he screws up halfway and exclaims, “Shit!” with Mitchell erupting in laughter), the Stills rarity “Ivory Tower,” and a 10-minute alternate take of Crosby’s “Almost Cut My Hair.” A version of “Know You Got to Run,” taken from the supergroup’s first session at 3615 Shady Oak Road - Stills’ Studio City home, which he famously rented from Peter Tork - also appears.

I don’t really give much of a shit about that.” The guy who looks backwards and does this kind of stuff is Nash. It’s probably a good thing, but it’s not that big a deal to me. I am very proud of the record, this is like a repackaging. “But I don’t have a dog in that fight, really. “Eh, I’m happy about it,” he says during a recent phone interview.
