	Gosh, how lucky I was not to win it	1 Relevance	19 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	Gosh, how lucky I was not to win it because unless you had the revolving second hand plate, you'd be screwed. It wouldn't be difficult to restring the hour markers. Thanks a lot for reminding me about the disc. I HAVE seen this clock before in white. The guy who overpaid for it must have had the missing disc.......

	While therapeudic, venting here doesn't get you the clock Whereas basic electrical skills might have. I imagine the seller wasn't counting on the 'difficult' removal--- had you demonstrated a self-reliance with things electrical, they may have allowed you to remove it. Put yourself in the seller's place, during a busy estate sale...

	... languages but only for the basic sounds of letters and dipthongs. I found one for Finnish after arguing with a friend about how to pronounce "Iittala". It seemed pretty straightforward. I think it's pronounced "EE-tah-la". Saarinen would be "SAIR-ee-nen", I think, with a little roll to the R. Best guess after going over the written guide and listening to other words. I dunno about the first names, though. I just happen to like language and I enjoy sitting around discussing stuff like this and learning new things. I've had a lot of fun with our Danish ...

Not remuddled. everything is original, the fixtures, the bathrooms, etc. Often a rare find. I do like the black framed Breuers the best. I have considered having one just for the spirit of the house. (the OPO's have retired to south carolina and we keep in touch) they loved this house, but they needed care that a retirement home has and a serious illness was difficult in a home that needs tending. they had to hire everything done. Simple things ...

	... eiffel really sets the shell off. More than a contrast, it just to me seems right - maybe you can combine a good porterhouse with a fine white. The 'why' of this seems difficult to get to, but I really liked what Whitespike had to say about the geometry. The eiffel base Eames shell chair reminds me of my cousin, who on a field trip to the Sheldon Art Gallery one day when we were young brats - arriving at a particularly indefinable abstract - stretched out his arm to a fist, held up his thumb, and looking over the top of it, one eye open, one shut, said with ...

Even the colors have faded (no doubt) -- no wonder it's difficult to feel how refreshing was their impact. It's ironic, isn't it, to have young Eames decrying the "plastic" chairs made by others, with their inauthentic sources (not "made the way they should be"), when it is they (Modernica) who are trying to present the most correct version of the shell chair ? If HM and the Eames Office have concluded that Charle ...
	Dear WoofWoof	1 Relevance	18 years ago	koen	General discussion
	Dear WoofWoof Sorry for the delay. I can assure you retirement does not make the days longer on the contrary.... The question about environmental impact is a good but difficult one and I fear I would not do the methodology justice if I try to explain it within the short context of this forum. So allow me to give you the link to a pdf document that is more explicit and has been put together by the very people that developed the system. Please open the Eco-indicator 99 pdf file One comment about the control of moulds at subcontractors. Considering that the Eam ...
	Wood	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	Wood My best guess is pine from the pictures, but its very difficult to tell without knowing the weight of the piece, or whether the color is the wood or a stain. But the graining and more-so the knots make me think pine. Heath, have you got any thoughts?

	... get more money sooner rather than less, or even more later. But if the same cynical, self-interested, strategically minded CEO were given a choice between a mid cost, mid volume, high bling, sell it fairly quick, and keep your customers product vs. low cost, high volume, high bling, sell it quick, and create customers for your competitors product, I suspect that their CYA instincts and tolerable spike to stock options from the former option would overwhelm their willingness to build crap, sell stock options quickly and fight law suits for the next ten years ...

Probably Goodform(?). Very difficult to find a visually appealing home office chair. Works for now. Has a great worn-in squeak.

	... that is called architecture. The more our societies evolve, often on the edge of popularism, toward democracy, the more architecture seems to grow as an anachronism. While even bastions like medicine are crumbling, architecture maintains it status of a discipline in which elitism is raising higher and higher barricades to defend it?s privileged position. The complexity of legislation, financial mechanisms and professional protectionism are the cornerstones of this barricade and it is unlikely that any of them will fall soon. So, architecture, for better or ...
	Spanky...that's real funny	1 Relevance	19 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	Spanky...that's real funny because everything under the sun is listed on eBay as "Eames era"! It's so out of control that it's really difficult to figure out how to search for a genuine Eames item without having to wade through all of the stupid 'Eames era' listings. Maybe the Eames lawyers should petition eBay to state up front, when the person's setting up their ad and select furniture or mid-century design, that "Eames Era" is not allowed. It's a free country, but sometimes it's just a little bit TOO free.
