Cotton FitzsimmonsLowell Gibbs "Cotton" Fitzsimmons (October 7, 1931 - July 24, 2004) was an American college and NBA basketball coach. A native of Bowling Green, Missouri, he attended and played basketball at Hannibal-LaGrange Junior College in Hannibal, Missouri and Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas. He coached the Phoenix Suns three times, was named the NBA Coach of the Year twice, and is often credited as the architect of the Suns' success of the late 1980s and early to middle 1990s. Fitzsimmons won 1,089 games in his coaching career: 223 games at the junior college level, 34 at the Division I college level and 832 in the NBA— — — — — —Cotton millsStrutt and another spinner, Samuel Need, were introduced to Richard Arkwright who had arrived in Nottingham in about 1768, and set up his spinning frame there using horse-power to run the mill, but this was an unsatisfactory power source. In Derby, John Lombe had built a successful silk spinning mill using water power. Strutt and Need joined Arkwright in the building of a cotton mill at Cromford, using what was henceforth called Arkwright's water frame. This was the first of its kind in the world, marking the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Strutt bought land in 1777 for his first mill in Belper, which at that time was a hamlet of framework knitters and nail makers. In 1781 he bought the old forge at Makeney by Milford Bridge from Walter Mather. Belper opened in 1778 and Milford in 1782. For each he built long rows of substantial worker's houses and both are now part of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. In time there would be eight Strutt mills at Belper which would grow to a population of 10,000 by the mid-nineteenth century and be the second largest town in the county.— — — — — —The Whitin Cotton MillThe damming of the Mumford River in the early 19th century provided water power and led to the development of the Whitin Machine Works, the Cotton Mill and Linwood Mill. The mills also had access to a trunk line of the Providence and Worcester Railroad allowing easy transportation of goods into and out of the manufacturing facilities. In 2011, the Linwood Mill was developed into 75 studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom units of 55 'active adult' senior rental residences. The ground floor of the Linwood Mill was developed into 22,000 square feet of commercial space including a restaurant, the Blackstone Valley Chamber of Commerce, office space, and a wine store. Current businesses located in the Linwood Mill include the following:— — — — — —Rick CottonRick Cotton is the executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

Dallas Cotton Exchange BuildingThe Dallas Cotton Exchange Building was a 17-story tan brick and concrete building on the corner of North St. Paul and San Jacinto Streets in downtown Dallas, Texas. It was built in 1926 and was for decades Dallas' second-tallest, as the city was growing into the largest inland cotton market in the U. S. By 1971, though the city had become the financial capital of the cotton industry, the exchange housed more Baptists than brokers because of offices rented to nearby First Baptist Church. By 1987 the building sat vacant.— — — — — —1958 Cotton Bowl ClassicThe 1958 Cotton Bowl Classic was the 22nd edition of the college football bowl game, played at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas, on Wednesday, January 1.

It's not fair to put you in the position of not knowing. It's a reasonable question, and you should be familiar with the merchandise. Some manufacturers will market items as "pre-shrunk" or "no-shrink". Sometimes you can tell by reading the tag--if it says to avoid hot water or an automatic dryer, or even to tumble dry on a low or medium setting, you can be pretty sure the garment will shrink. The truth is that almost all cotton, even so-called "pre-shrunk," tends to shrink more or less with intense heat over time. The hotter the water used, the longer the high-heat drying cycle, the more shrinkage. But it also depends on the tightness of the fabric's weave. Jeans are known for shrinking in length, which is a permanent change, and also shrinking in width, although they often "stretch out" again with wear. Gauzy cottons tend to shrink less than knit cottons. You should suggest to your supervisor that first-hand knowledge is the most persuasive way to inform a consumer, so that if you can say, "I've washed this a half-dozen times and it's been fine" or "You can expect it to shrink about a size, so you will want to go up one."— — — — — —Growth in cotton farming and agricultureUntil widespread use of the cotton gin, short-staple cotton had been such an arduous crop to grow and process because of the time-consuming process of removing the sticky seeds from each of the individual boles of cotton. This process took so long that it was nearly unprofitable to grow cotton. The increased ease of cotton production due to access to the Cotton Gin, invented in 1793 by Eli Whitney, which used teeth to comb through the fluffy fibers and remove all of the seeds in a much more efficient manner, led to a major rise in the production of cotton in the south near North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia. Production increased from 750,000 bales in 1830 to 2.85 million bales in 1850, earning the south the nickname King Cotton for its success. Matthew T. Gregg writes that "According to the 1835 Cherokee census enumerators, 1,707,900 acres in the Cherokee Nation in Georgia were tillable. " This land was valuable farming land, with the ideal climate and the necessary 200 frost-free days for growing cotton, and would have been crucial in supporting the cotton industry's monumental growth, as would have increased ease of transportation due to railroads. The Cherokee Indians typically grew small family farms and only planted what was needed to survive alongside hunting and gathering. Some, however, heeded Silas Dinsmoor's advice. They took advantage of the growing demand for cotton and began to farm it themselves, asking for cotton cards, cotton gins, and spinning wheels from the United States Government. As immigration increased rapidly throughout the 1820s and 1830s, and by 1850 approximately 2.6 million people immigrated to the United States, the government saw that the land could be used for more than just small family crops and could provide a source of income for the farmers immigrating to the south and needing farmable land. The Cherokees that did farm cotton in excess for selling became a threat to the settlers that were hoping to capitalize on the cotton industry by taking away not only valuable farm land but also adding more cotton to the market which could reduce the demand and the price, thus prompting the pursuit of a removal treaty

Please help me ... :( some one? Anyone?Simply put a NEMO sticker which is big enough to cover the dark portion. But in the meantime, soak a cotton with vinegar and use a soft cloth as a bandage (sp.?). It might irritate your skin if you will use surgical tape so as to attach the cotton with vinegar. After 2-3 hrs, you can remove the cotton. Try to work on this for a week or 2.

Most cotton is waxed before it is used in the manufacturing process. Rain and sun will cause this protective coating to disappear fairly quickly. Left unprotected, the cotton will dry out and fall apart. Depending on your climate, you may only get one season out of your hammock unless you store it when not in use. Another problem is dirt. It does not take long for a white cotton hammock to look terrible due to the accumulation of airborn dirt, dust, and grit. Since they can be fairly expensive, I think it is worthwhile to go through the hassle of storing it when it is not in use. Good luck with your hammock.— — — — — —1988 Cotton Bowl ClassicThe 1988 Cotton Bowl Classic was a college football bowl game played on January 1, 1988, at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas.

Wait a few minutes then dab the interior with a paper towel to soak up any remaining bleach. Let sit for ten or twenty minutes, then dab again. Now - the trick that is a treat - sure, vaseline will work, but there is an easier way - use PAM spray !

Good Luck.— — — — — —Hemp and CottonCotton fibers are composed principally of cellulose, while hemp fibers contain, besides cellulose, hemicellulose.Cellulose is a linear polymer with glucose repeating units. Its chains are long, packedwith inter-chain hydrogen bonds. So, it's a highly crystalline polymer. On the other hand, hemicellulose is a highly branched polymer. Its presence increases the strength of the hemp fibers by allowing the internal redistribution of stress that occurs in the fibers. In fact, when replacing the flexible hemicellulose-cellulose-hemicellulose bond by a more rigid cellulose-cellulose bond, the stress is concentrated at the individual bonds and lowers the fiber strength.

How to clean a polyester couch?Polyester Couch Cleaning3. Could you iron faux suede (polyester microfiber)?I am sorry, darling, but your missus is wrong on this one. Your argyle socks sound fabulous. There is one thing we must address, however, and that is your choice of silk shirt to go with the leisure suit. I trust you found a nice floral print? If not, then you need to ignore the suit, shoes and socks and find a nice floral print silk shirt in nice lime and orange sherbet colors to go with the ensemble. Anything else, like a plain shirt, or a solid shirt, is unacceptable. Also, your missus sounds like she needs some help. Please make sure she is wearing proper footwear with her lovely flowered shift. If she does not know what that is, it's those lovely sandals with the velcro straps--I suggest tan, as it is the loveliest of colors and looks great with white ankle socks. If she wants to add a touch of color for a festive look (it is, after all, your anniversary), perhaps she could skip the ankle socks and get the little athletic ones with the pompoms. That is truly lovely, and I am sure you will make a delightful couple. Enjoy!.4. How to make a polyester dress not stick?Spary it with water to diffuse the static and (just a little bit!)

I need to find the best way to dye/darken my black faded clothes??? Im using "RIT" and its jst not cutting it?Use as hot as water as possible and double up on the dye. The hotter the water, the deeper the color. Dyes also work best on natural fabrics. If the clothes you are trying to dye have polyester, spandex, etc. the dye will not take well. I know you can dye clothing by boiling them with the dye in a very large kettle on the stove. You have to keep stirring to make sure the dye is distributed well. You may want to look this dying method up on the internet.

Remember that anything that comes out of the freezer will have to be either stored in another freezer, a refrigerator, or somehow insulated from thawing until the defrost and cleaning process is completed. Empty all items out of the chest freezer and store them in another freezer or the refrigerator to prevent thawing. You can also store them in a cooler filled with ice or, in a worst case scenario, sandwiched between layers of blankets to help slow the thawing process. Turn the chest freezer down to its lowest setting--switch it all the way off, if possible--and unplug it. Break any large chunks of accumulated ice and frost out of the freezer by hand. Be sure to wear gloves to help protect your hands from the ice. Let any remaining ice melt as the chest freezer thaws. Sponge melted water out of your chest freezer. If there is too much water in it to sponge out, ask a friend to help you carefully tip the freezer onto its side to pour the water out, then set it back upright. Avoid jarring or bumping the freezer as you shift it, as this might cause damage. Wash the inside of the freezer out with warm, soapy water. Remember to clean the inside of the lid, too. Use a toothbrush or cotton swabs to clean around the edges of the rubber seal inside the lid and in its grooves. Pull the chest freezer away from the wall. If its back coils are exposed, carefully suck dirt off them with a hand vacuum or with the hose attachment from a standard vacuum. Then return the chest freezer to its original place. Wipe out the inside of the chest freezer to ensure that it is completely dry. Replace all your food items inside the chest freezer. Plug it back in and return the chill setting to normal, then close the lid and leave it to cool back down to freezing temperatures. You can speed the defrosting process by using a hairdryer to melt ice out of your chest freezer.1. if i wanted 2 write on my t-shirt, what would i use? see details?My kids like to use the colored Sharpie markers. They do fade after a while in the washer and drier. They make great fabric paint markers that I have never had fade. You can also use the acrylic fabric paint. I have never had that fade either. Price wise, the acrylic fabric paint is the least expensive running about $1 per color. You can get this at any craft store or WalMart. It is a little more difficult to work with as you need a paint brush to apply it. that said, we have also used tooth picks and cotton swabs for paintbrushes. Potatoes can be cut in half and then "carved" into shapes on the end to use as stamps. I have also dipped cookie cutters into the paint and used that for as an outline and filled it in with paint.

Clogged ears due to a cold..?I answered a question just like this a little earlier, so I will copy/paste my advice to them here. I am with you on the anti-eardrop thing, that just feels weird. "I have this all the time. Although, I think mine is more genetic than caused by an infection, but the remedy should work either way. I clean my ears out with a little hot water twice a day. Just run your pointer finger under the hot tap water and rub it around inside your ear. Cotton swabs usually infect my ears so I stay away from them. Do not do that thing with your jaw -- I did, and now I have TMJ (when your jaw clicks painfully). If you already have a clicking jaw, try curling your tongue when you yawn to realign it or stop the clicks. That worked for me. If after a few days with the water treatment, if you do not notice an improvement regarding the congestion in your ear, go to a ear, nose and throat specialist. Mine took a nose swab sample for testing for allergies, and it turned out all I needed was for him to widen my sinuses with that swabber to cure most of my ear symptoms."

False, too sticky for me1. my cotton candy machine isn't making "cotton" candy?Sounds like a heating issue2. can i feed my cockatiels cotton candy?Parrots do not really produce saliva, so it would not melt in their mouths anyway. Giving your cockatiel "minimum" human food basically tells me that your knowledge of a healthy diet for a cockatiel is limited. You can give them all kinds of "human" food. They love cooked pasta, steamed rice, broccoli, corn, and lots of others and they CAN have those things. This makes me wonder if you are one of the owners that still feeds their cockatiel nothing but seeds. A healthy diet for a cockatiel is a diet of pellets and bird friendly fresh foods with only a limited amount of seed. Seeds should be used as a treat. They can peck at the ice cube, it's not going to hurt them. Think about this rationally. Cotton candy is not very good for you because it's almost pure sugar- OBVIOUSLY it wo not be good for your cockatiels. It has far too much sugar in it. It can severely disrupt the digestive process, and can make them very ill. I highly suggest you look up the list of foods that cockatiels can have as well as the list of foods that are toxic to them. EDIT: It irritates me a little bit when people add details like this. Is there a reason you could not have told us this to begin with? I did not mean to come off as condescending, it's just that I encounter a lot of very similar situations at the shelter from people who are not just trying to prove a point. Because of that, I've found that it's best to provide as much information as possible and try my best to steer the person in the right direction. I am GLAD that you are not doing it and that you want to prove this to your family, and I am GLAD that you take good care of your cockatiel. However, you can not really post that kind of comment and not expect the people who know the right answer to become concerned. Especially if you do not give us details like the ones you just added to begin with. You also said "I wanna see their reaction to the melting in their mouth." How were any of us supposed to know that was not serious?3. where can you get OLD fashioned cotton candy on a stick? instead of in a bag?Our mall sells it on the paper cone . . .It still amazes me how spun sugar can melt so fast in your mouth ! !4.

Does anyone have any ideas for a ping-pong themed cake?The sports birthday party theme works well outdoors (in your yard or a nearby park), but you can also use the birthday party ideas for decorations that are described here for an indoor sports party as well. To start off, use your favorite team's colors for the color scheme and hang bunches of colored balloons around the party area. One of the best birthday party ideas is to make your own sport balloons by drawing on them. For baseballs use a red pen on a white balloon, drawing the stitching. For basketballs use a black marker on orange balloons, for a soccer ball use a black pen on white balloons, etc. Hang signs around the party area that say: "Bleachers", "Locker Rooms", "Restrooms", etc. Also, set up a first aid station with band-aids, bandages, hydrogen peroxide, a water cooler, etc. Make paper cutouts of footballs, bats, rackets, hockey sticks, gloves etc. You can also scatter these cool inflatable sports equipment all around the party area. Disperse all sorts of sport-related props and toys around the party area, such as balls, mitts, bats, sport cards, etc. Hang up posters of famous sport figures and of different sports. If you really want to be creative, one of the best birthday party ideas is to blow-up a picture of a famous player - poster size (some Kinko's and other copying stores can do this) and put it in the party area. You can also cut the face out so that the kids can put their own face in it for great picture-taking moments (great to send with thank-you notes). Consider making your own popcorn, cotton candy, and peanut stands out of PVC pipes. It's quite simple. The stands should be five feet tall. Glue clothespins all around and hang small bags of popcorn, candy, etc. You can also extend a line between branches and hang the bags from there. Use real sports props to decorate the table. You can tie helium balloons onto trophies, medals or other props for table centerpieces. If you have chairs instead of benches, hang sports pennants down the back of each chair to add more color. Decorate the table with sports cards (either bought or handmade). For instructions on making your own sport cards look in the Ice-Breaker activity section below. One of the coolest birthday party ideas for setting the sports scene (if you are not too picky about your lawn) is spray painting or using chalk to mark the field.

Sir Robert Cotton, 3rd BaronetSir Robert Salusbury Cotton, 3rd Baronet (2 January 1695 - 27 August 1748) was a politician in Great Britain. He was Member of Parliament (MP) for Cheshire from 1727 to 1734 and for Lostwithiel from 1741 to 1747.

This, coupled with the emergence of American cotton as a superior type (due to the longer, stronger fibers of the two domesticated native American species, Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense), encouraged British traders to purchase cotton from plantations in the United States and in the Caribbean. By the mid-19th century, "King Cotton" had become the backbone of the southern American economy.

The district includes 19 historically significant buildings dating, most of which were built between about 1900 and 1930. The town grew as a railroad shipping center for cotton beginning in the 1880s, but major fires in 1901 and 1924 devastated parts of its downtown, resulting in a large number of early 20th-century commercial brick buildings.

The character made numerous brief or more protracted stints until his onscreen death in February 2015; his death written to coincide with the 30th anniversary of EastEnders. Nick Cotton is notably responsible for the death of Reg Cox (Johnnie Clayton), who is discovered unconscious in the very first scene of the programme in 1985 and is revealed in the following episode that Reg has died. Nick's death was scripted as somewhat of a reenactment to Reg's death, as the character dies in the same spot where Reg had died 30 years prior. Nick's primary function is as an antagonist, a drug-user and a murderer. He was conceived by the show's creators, Tony Holland and Julia Smith. A late inclusion to the original cast line-up, Nick was included based on writer feedback to Holland and Smith's original script, which centred around the murder of Reg Cox, whose killer they had not originally intended to reveal. Nick was created to be the assailant and to provide the show with more dramatic storyline potential. During his time on the show, Nick has embarked on multiple feuds with Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden), Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick), Michelle Fowler (Susan Tully), Mark Fowler (David Scarboro/Todd Carty), Lisa Fowler (Lucy Benjamin), Tony Carpenter (Oscar James), Ali Osman (Nedjet Salih), Pete Beale (Peter Dean), Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth), Clyde Tavernier (Steven Woodcock), Nigel Bates (Paul Bradley), Den Watts (Leslie Grantham), Eddie Skinner (Richard Vanstone), Charlie Cotton (his late father) (Christopher Hancock) and Ronnie Mitchell (Samantha Womack). Nick is used as an 'out and out villain'. It was suggested by Executive Producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins that unlike other soap characters who behaved badly and required a more nuanced characterisation and redemption, it was possible to use Nick as a complete "bad guy". A television critic for The Guardian suggested that, for this reason, the character's dastardly motives were rarely questioned by viewers, as his primary function is that of "an agent of chaos". It was also suggested that Nick's appearances on the show needed to be brief because the level of malevolence he portrays could not be sustained in a character over longer periods. Nick's most prominent relationship is with his mother Dot Cotton (June Brown). It is portrayed as complex, dysfunctional and somewhat cyclical, with Nick perpetually entering his mother's life, her forgiving him for past misdemeanours (including an attempt to kill her to steal her bingo winnings), then being let down when Nick's true intentions are revealed, often ending in his banishment; albeit temporarily before the cycle repeats. Nick's eventual demise in 2015 plays homage to this relationship, with Dot - finally realising the extent of Nick's villainous behaviour and accepting his inability to change - ultimately deciding to allow Nick to die, rather than seeking medical assistance after he has a fatal reaction to heroin. Her motive being to let Jesus decide whether Nick should live or die.

When this material is woven into a piece of apparel - like a shirt - the hydrogen particles are attracted to each other and form a bond. This gives the shirt shape and helps it to maintain its form when it's worn, sat upon or folded - unless you get wet.nIf you sweat, spend time in a humid area, spill a liquid on yourself or wash your shirt, it wrinkles or creases. It does this because the hydrogen links in the cotton react to water, causing the fabric to bend out of shape and form wrinkles/creases in the cloth.Why do cotton shirts crease?.------Can you wear a flannel shirt in the summertime?You can if you want to.

Smoking was allowed for students who were 18 or older. They had a special room in the basement of the school where they could smoke.
