curious. is it possible to have such roping fades if the jeans are cuffed? my guess is no since there isn't much wear on that area if the cuffs.

[mclaincausey]

I've never had a problem with nice roping fadez provided it's a chainstitched hem, regardless of single-cuff-or-stack or single-cuffstack (my favorite) proclivities.  I can't speak for rolling the cuff's beyond a single cuff but that seems like it would also have the necessary friction for fades.

anyone have any experience with the Salomon XA PRo 3D Ultra GTX trail running shoe?

[bagley920]

I've owned a couple pairs of Salomons Jeff but they ran super narrow on me so didn't keep them. Seem to be a well thought of brand though.

ive actually never used paypal before and ive got a question that might be obvious.. do you have to actually transfer money to your paypal account in order to pay, for instance, an invoice? or is it enough that your card is linked to paypal?

[Giles]

It should be enough that your card is linked to your PayPal account.  If you have a zero balance or less than the purchase amount, the balance of the transaction amount will get pulled from your card.

Is there some sort of open source e-reader?  I'd like to try reading books on my android based phone, but I have no desire to buy into a closed ecosystem, in case I don't like it.

[mclaincausey]

Found an article that discusses a few. The first one is Google's, even if that's open you can't expect it to stay that way IMO. The other options look pretty neat.

Thanks.  I'll check that out.

And yeah, Google is completely untrustworthy.  " Don't be evil" died a long, long time ago.

kindle format is definitely proprietary but I think bn ebooks are epub format which is widespread, I would guess you could open an ebook bought from bn on any epub reader, not so simple w kindle books

I like my nook, I'm able to borrow ebooks on it from our local library

check your library website Chris they may lend ebooks so that may factor in

Can anyone tell me if its possible to get UPS to hold a package for me to pick up instead of deliver it ?

[Arabit]

I'm sure you can, just call UPS and they'll leave the package in one of their distribution facilities for you to pick up

Yeah you should be able to. You might need to sign up for MyUPS or call them. Also, PM Bagley, he works for UPS as a regional manager or something.

[zhivago]

yes, sign up for UPS my choice on line, or call customer service. It takes some effort but with the right amount of sweet talking you can get them to hold packages at the distribution center for you.

Thanks for the quick responses guys. I got the 68 coming on the same day as graduation (wednesday) and patience is unfortunately not one of my virtues…
