"Suede Suede is a type of leather with a napped finish, commonly used for jackets, shoes, shirts, purses, furniture and other items. The term comes from the French ""gants de Suède"", which literally means ""gloves from Sweden"". Suede is made from the underside of the animal skin, which is softer and more pliable than, though not as durable as, the outer skin layer. Suede leather is made from the underside of the skin, primarily from lamb, although goat, calf and deer are commonly used. Splits from thick hides of cow and deer are also sueded, but, due to the fiber"
"Suaeda Suaeda is a genus of plants also known as seepweeds and sea-blites. Most species are confined to saline or alkaline soil habitats, such as coastal salt-flats and tidal wetlands. Many species have thick, succulent leaves, a characteristic seen in various plant genera that thrive in salty habitats (halophile plants). There are about 110 species in the genus ""Suaeda"". The most common species in northwestern Europe is ""Suaeda maritima"". It grows along the coasts, especially in saltmarsh areas, and is known in English as common seablite. It is also common along the east coast of North America from Virginia northward."

Sueded silk, sueded cotton and similar sueded fabrics are brushed, sanded or chemically treated for extra softness. ""Suede"" yarns are generally thick and plush. Alcantara and Ultrasuede are trademarked terms for a microfiber plush with a hand resembling the soft suede, but more durable, resistant to liquid, stains and crushing and can be used in upholstery, accessories, clothing or shoes. Microsuede is a microfiber knit blend fabric with a soft finish,"
"One of its varieties is common in tropical Asia on the land-side edge of mangrove tidal swamps. Another variety of this polymorphic species is common in tidal zones all around Australia (""Suaeda maritima var. australis"" is also classed as ""Suaeda australis""). On the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea a common ""Suaeda"" species is ""Suaeda vera"" (synon. ""S. fruticosa""). This is known as ""shrubby sea-blite"" in English, in distinguishment from common sea-blite. It grows taller and forms a bush. The name ""Suaeda"" comes from an Arabic name ( ) for the ""Suaeda vera"" species and it was assigned as the genus"

In Japan it is sold under the brand name Ecsaine. It is often described as an artificial substitute for suede leather. The fabric is multifunctional: it is used in fashion, interior decorating, automobile and other vehicle upholstery, and industrial applications, such as protective fabric for electronic equipment. It is also a very popular fabric in the manufacture of footbags (also known as hacky sacks) and juggling balls. Other manufacturers such as Sensuede and Majilite also produce"

Because of their carnivorous nature and the beauty of their glistening traps, sundews have become favorite ornamental plants; however, the environmental requirements of most species are relatively stringent and can be difficult to meet in cultivation. As a result, most species are unavailable commercially. A few of the hardiest varieties, however, have made their way into the mainstream nursery business and can often be found for sale next to Venus flytraps. These most often include ""D. capensis"", ""D. aliciae"", and ""D. spatulata"". Cultivation requirements vary greatly by species.

"Suillus variegatus Suillus variegatus, commonly called the velvet bolete or variegated bolete, is a species of edible mushroom in the genus ""Suillus"". Like all bolete-like species it has tubes, and pores, instead of gills under its cap. The mushroom forms a mycorrhizal relationship with pine and occurs in North America and Eurasia. The cap is 6 – 13 cm in diameter. It is rusty to tawny, or ochraceous, and has a velvety or downy feel when young. As it matures the surface becomes smoother, even greasy, and tacky in wet periods. The stem is ochre, more yellow towards the top,"
"Diamond willow Diamond willow is a type of tree with wood that is deformed into diamond-shaped segments with alternating colors. This is most likely the result of attack by a fungus (""Valsa sordida"" and possibly others), which causes cankers to form in the wood in response to the infection. Diamond willow is prized by wood carvers and furniture makers for its strong contrasting colors (red and white) and its sculptural irregularity of shape. There are at least six different species that have been identified as being susceptible to diamonding, including ""Salix bebbiana"", the most common diamond willow, plus ""S. pseudomonticola"","

Although sharing similarities to 1960s skinheads, suedeheads grew their hair longer and dressed more formally. Although often working class like skinheads, some had white collar jobs. A female suedehead was a ""sort"". Suedeheads wore brogues, loafers or basketweave Norwegians instead of heavy boots.

They are typically boiled or steamed, though some baked variations and recipes adapted for microwave ovens exist.

"Squid Squid are cephalopods in the order Teuthida with elongated bodies, large eyes, eight arms and two tentacles. Like all other cephalopods, squid have a distinct head, bilateral symmetry, and a mantle. They are mainly soft-bodied, like octopuses, but have a small internal skeleton in the form of a rod-like gladius or pen, made of chitin. Squid can change colour for camouflage and signalling. Some species are bioluminescent, using their light for counter-illumination camouflage. Squid are members of the class Cephalopoda, subclass Coleoidea. The squid orders Myopsida and Oegopsida are in the superorder Decapodiformes (from the Greek for ""ten-legged""). Two"
