Desperate Acts to Provoke Syria and Iran: Israel's "Air Strikes" against SyriaSubmitted by legalizeliberty on Sat, 05/04/2013 - 11:37
Alleged airstrikes hope to expand conflict, undermine Syrian advances, and provoke Syria and Iran to give US justification for military intervention.
Once again, Israel is "leaking" information about alleged airstrikes it claims it has conducted against Syria along the Lebanese-Syrian border.
According to CNN's "Sources: U.S. believes Israel has conducted an airstrike into Syria," it was stated that:
The United States believes Israel has conducted an airstrike into Syria, two U.S. officials tell CNN.
The Israelis have long said they would strike at any targets that prove to be the transfer of any kinds of weapons to Hezbollah or other terrorist groups, as well as at any effort to smuggle Syrian weapons into Lebanon that could threaten Israel.
This was the same flimsy pretext used in an earlier alleged Israeli attack on Syrian territory earlier this year.In reality, the "other terrorists groups" Israel claims to worry about, are indeed funded and directed by the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia as part of a long-standing, documented conspiracy to overthrow the nations of Iran and Syria.

How do they get away with
How do they get away with referring to Hezbollah as a "terrorist organization"? Hezbollah kicked Israel out of Lebanon. Sound like freedom fighters to me.
My Israeli friend says "Huh?"
I asked him this morning about the attacks, and he had heard nothing on Israeli news about it.
I'm beginning to wonder if the story was concocted by the U.S. govt for American consumption.
What Good Is The United Nations ? ?
The United Nations was first formed shortly after WW II to prevent any repeat of WW II.
It sure looks like to me that the U.N. has totally failed in their mission, as the world looks to be slowly progressing into another world wide armed conflict, and by now everyone should realize that Israel and it's worldwide influence is the root cause.
Nuclear war is a VERY BAD idea !
It has been confirmed.
Let me get this right. We are arming rebels, many of them fundamentalist, these weapons are being smuggled to Hezbollah so Israel bombs Syria. This is operation fast and furious on an international scale.
It's worse than that
We are supporting Jihadis to overthrow a secular government.
What do you suppose will happen to the large Christian population in Syria if the Jihadis win?
Well said
Basically they are "cooking" World War III.

USS Montpelier collides with cruiserThe Associated Press | October 15,2012Provided Photo
The nuclear submarine USS Montpelier arrives in Souda Harbor on the Greek island of Crete in this 2007 image provided by the U.S. Navy.NORFOLK, Va. — The Pentagon said late Saturday that it is investigating why a Navy submarine named after Vermont's capital collided with an Aegis cruiser off the East Coast.
The U.S. Fleet Forces Command said the submarine USS Montpelier and the Aegis cruiser USS San Jacinto collided at about 3:30 p.m. Saturday during routine operations. No one was injured, and the extent of any damage to the vessels was not clear Saturday evening, said Lt. Commander Brian Badura of the Fleet Forces Command.
"We have had circumstances where Navy vessels have collided at sea in the past, but they're fairly rare as to how often they do take place," Badura said.
Navy officials said the collision was under investigation, but declined to offer specifics on what happens next or on where the incident took place.
"If we do have an incident that does take place, there are folks that swing into action ... to help us make a better, more conclusive explanation of exactly what happened," Badura said.
Fleet Forces Command's statement said "overall damage to both ships is being evaluated," and that the sub's propulsion plant was "unaffected by the collision."
Both Navy ships are based at Norfolk, Va. and are operating on their own power, the statement says.
The USS Montpelier, also known as SSN 765 or "Mighty Monty," underwent a $120 million tuneup at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Maine in 2004-05 after taking part in Operation Iraqi Freedom. It was the first submarine to fire a Tomahawk cruise missile into Iraq from the Persian Gulf.
"A very significant portion of what went on there at that time was by submarines and the Montpelier was the first one," said Capt. Mark Davis, commanding officer of the USS Montpelier at the time.
"I've been in the submarine force 23 years and you work up and train for this all your life, and to actually get to do something like that is a remarkable thing," Davis said in a 2005 interview with the Rutland Herald.
The USS Montpelier was commissioned in 1993. It's a Los Angeles-class, nuclear-powered submarine with enough fuel on board to last for the entire 33-year lifespan of the vessel. The sub, which carries 150 crew, returns to port for system upgrades and maintenance work about once every 10 years.MORE IN Wire NewsCASTLE HILLS, Texas Five people died Sunday after a fire broke out at a senior-living apartment...

Well, it's not as bad as last week's leaked version, but the Government Accountability Office's Iraq progress report is still pretty grim. According to the GAO's findings, the current Iraqi government has failed to meet 11 out of 18 benchmarks set last May by U.S. officials.
"Violence remains high, the number of Iraqi security forces capable of conducting independent operations has declined, and militias are not disarmed," the GAO, the investigating arm of Congress, said.
Despite the deployment of 30,000 extra U.S. troops to Iraq, raising force levels to 160,000, the number of attacks on civilians remained substantially unchanged from February to July 2007, the report said.
In Baghdad, the head of day-to-day U.S. military operations said the next three to four months would be vital to determining whether violence could be cut further and security maintained with fewer American troops.

Whether it's from high school or university, graduation is a milestone that's certainly cause for celebration, but with it can come a new set of concerns—big-time worries about how to make the grade in college or in the real world. Whether your grad needs direction or already possesses a five-year plan, three new books offer plenty of inspiration, encouragement and practical advice.
It's never too early to start teaching kids about the importance of friendship. Offering lessons to live by, three delightful new picture books demonstrate the rewards of team effort and the power of partnership. As these clever tales prove, pitching in to help a pal—whether it's with a stroke-of-genius idea or a simple word of cheer—can make a world of difference. That's what friends are for!
Fifty years after the landmark passage of the Civil Rights Act, two new books capture the history of those tumultuous times. The story of the law's passage is not just about the legislative process, though its approval by Congress was anything but a foregone conclusion. It's a story about grassroots activism, unexpected allies, the clash of personalities and political posturing. It's about finally putting an end to institutional racism and beginning the slow process towards justice and reconciliation.
For National Poetry Month, we're highlighing new collections from four American poets that offer fresh insights into the state of the nation. These visionary writers provide unique perspectives on both inner and outer conflicts: the horrors of war, the decline of the environment, the challenges of relationships.
There are certain years that trigger immediate associations in any baseball fan's mind. 1903: the first World Series. 1927: Murderer's Row. 1961: Mantle and Maris. 1994: the players' strike. Whether 2014 will produce such a season is yet to be written, but a tremendous crop of baseball books guarantees this year to be one for the publishing annals.
In time for the Easter season, six new books offer guidance for living a more spiritual life. Some are inspirational, some inspirationally practical. All offer wisdom for those seeking a stronger connection with God and a more fulfilling life.
Three short-story stalwarts showcase their acclaimed skills with their first collections in several years, while a newcomer who's made his name in television and movies demonstrates that his talents aren't limited to the screen.
National Poetry Month begins with April Fools' Day. Coincidence? Perhaps not. These three books for young readers goof, spoof and are rarely, if ever, aloof. They make poetry and reading as easy as breathing, and also a lot of fun.
Failure and sin, redemption and healing form the backbone of these five novels, much as they do in the Bible that inspires writers of Christian fiction. From thrilling mystery and longed-for relationships to tests of will and heart, these works of fiction highlight God's grace to man—who desperately needs it.
The past is packed with remarkable women whose achievements deserve special recognition. Just in time for Women's History Month, three new books provide in-depth looks at a few of the courageous, far-sighted women who served as early champions of change. Inspiring narratives about friendship, kinship and the quest for equality, these compelling books salute a group of winning women who were ahead of their time.

Consumers Poised to Purchase Apple iPad 3
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - As Apple's (AAPL) iPad 3 launch grows ever closer, more than 60% of people responding to TheStreet's recent poll said they would buy the new tablet when announced.
Some 64.54% of those who voted said they would buy the Apple tablet "no matter what." This comes at a time when the blogosphere is rife with rumors about the new iPad's feature set.
Just over 30% of those who voted said they might buy the tablet, but would have to see what features Apple adds before they make their decision.
Many have speculated that the new tablet will have Long Term Evolution (LTE) capabilities, able to run on the high-speed networks from both AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ).Others expect the newest iteration of the iPad will be similar in form factor to the iPad 2, and will contain features such as Retina Display (already featured on the iPhone 4), an updated processor for improved speed and computing power, a QXGA 1,536 x 2,048-pixel HD display and a longer battery life. Just 5.17% of respondents said they planned to buy tablets from other manufacturers, specifically either a Kindle Fire from Amazon (AMZN) or an Android-based tablet. Google (GOOG) licenses out Android to consumer electronic companies such as Samsung who then make modifications based on their needs. The Kindle Fire runs a version of Android. Apple shares are higher today, up 1.38% to $542.78, bucking the broader Nasdaq. Interested in more on Apple? See TheStreet Ratings' report card for this stock.

A New Deferred, Fixed Indexed Annuity
Makes Choice the Key to Helping Meet Client Needs
Pacific Index ChoiceSM is the latest addition to Pacific Life's annuity product line
Newport Beach, Calif. (February 22, 2012) - The lessons of today's unpredictable markets have led many retirees and pre-retirees to seek sources of income they can feel confident in, where principal is safe and where there's an option of a guaranteed lifetime income stream. Traditional fixed annuities fit the bill. But along with safety of principal, some clients also want the opportunity for greater growth than a traditional fixed annuity normally provides.
That's the idea behind Pacific Index Choice, a recently introduced deferred, fixed indexed annuity from Pacific Life. The key to the product's ability to provide both safety of principal and growth potential tailored to a client's preferences is in the product's name: "Choice." Clients have several ways to structure their contracts to suit their personal preferences for how they would like their contracts to potentially grow.
First and foremost among those choices is the ability to allocate purchase payments among seven options for earning interest: the Fixed Account Option, which earns a guaranteed interest rate for a specific period of time, and six Index-Linked Options, which earn interest based on any positive movement of an index. Clients can select either the S&P 500® index, which focuses on U.S. markets, or the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI®), which focuses on 45 developed and emerging markets.
The Index-Linked Options also offer a choice of three crediting methods, giving clients the ability to decide how their accounts earn interest. The choices include having interest credited at the end of each one or two contract years-where the interest rate is equal to the index return, subject to a cap. Or the client can choose to have interest credited at the end of each contract year-where the interest rate is fixed and guaranteed throughout one of three initial guaranteed periods (six, eight or 10 years) chosen by the client.
To learn more about Pacific Index Choice, visit the Pacific Life website at www.PacificLife.com.

Five Things Weird Al Critiques in Mandatory Fun
By Steve Brennan
By Ashley Zimmerman
These frisky young lads from Tulsa, Oklahoma, specialize in the kind of music that is a bit too smart to be called pop, but far too catchy to be called anything else. The key to the band's appeal lies in the soaring three-part harmonies -- provided by bassist Mark Carr and guitarists John Russell and Brad Becker. (Drummer Jarrod Gollihare rounds out the quartet.) On songs such as "The Unlucky Ones" and "Better Than Nothing at All," the choruses wash over the listener in seductive waves. The flourishes of instrumentation here are simple but surprisingly supple. "No. 1 Fan" features crisp drum sequencing and a rapid crescendo of strings. Russell provides some spooky organ riffs, which lend "Another Day" a delightfully haunted feel.
As to subject matter, the band does best in the traditional province of pop bands, which is to say lost love. The departures here are fairly disastrous. (The hollow gravitas of "Veterans' Day" is matched in absurdity only by the art-rock pretension of "Eustice & Isadore.") That said, when Admiral Twin plays within its game, you'd be hard-pressed to find a catchier combo.

Written by guest writer: Spencer Blohm
As last night's season finale of Scandal came to a close, viewers were left with just as many questions as they had going into the finale. There was no clear resolution to Olivia and Fitz's relationship, nor with Fitz and Mellie, or even Olivia and Jake. We don't know whether we should hate Olivia's father or her mother, or both. And let's not even get started on Huck and Quinn, and that twisted affair which was finally consummated last night.
For those of you who haven't caught up with the show, you can easily do it through digital downloads, online, on demand, or through your Direct-Ticket package if you have one. Those of you who did get a chance to watch last night's finale surely have as many questions as I do. It seems the series creator Shonda Rhimes purposefully left us in a state of limbo in order to set up for an even more explosive season four.
Last night began with the bomb at the funeral exploding, however, Jake was able to figure it out and evacuate the church. Sally took the chaos as an opportunity to shine as a hero, and her plan worked as every network switched over from Fitz's speech to live footage of her tending to the wounded. Olivia and Cyrus admitted defeat and told Fitz to write a concession speech. While he was doing so, he told Olivia they were finally going to be together now that he could finally divorce Mellie. However, Olivia took this as the opportunity to tell him about his father raping Mellie years ago, which caused him to rush to his wife's side. Continue reading

Steven Tyler Criticizes 'Rude' Former Manager in Legal Battle

Witnesses describe Depp as being "really happy and at ease" during the appearance.

Aerosmith 'Barely Speaking to Each Other' According to Reports
After a tepid first week of sales of their new album 'Music From Another Dimension,' reports are surfacing that the members of Aerosmith are at odds once again.

Steven Tyler and Aerosmith might not get invited back to the set of 'Today' after swearing and calling the show 'Good Morning America' during an appearance this morning. Neither incident happened during the band's "official" appearance, in fact it's obvious Tyler didn't think his microphone was on when he dropped the f-bomb.

This past weekend, Andrew finally made it out to the Beach for the weekend. The Real Estate selling season in New York has made it just about impossible for him to take time here since President's Day. To Andrew, a weekend in the country means a chance to bake. And Saturday he chose to make a cake that would make a wonderful addition to a Passover Seder or an Easter Dinner table. I know I'm too late for Passover but this is in time for Easter. Ripe pears are combined with a set of spices to create a lushly moist, honey and brown-sugar cake that's then topped off with two toppings: A cream cheese glaze with a hint of lemon and pear 'chips' that are as pretty as they taste. It's from "Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook" (Clarkson Potter), her 2005 ode to all things sweet.
Caramelized Pineapple - A simple, French-inspired recipe for Caramelized Pineapple yields rich, tropical tidbits. Inspired by Baking Chez Moi by Dorie Greenspan.

BMW unveils self-driving cars, Galaxy Gear smartwatch app for i3
Automakers from across the globe are hard at work preparing for the eventuality of the self-driving car. Depending on who you ask, we could see vehicles capable of doing our commuting for us sometime between 2015 and 2021. For BMW, the target date is the year 2020, and at CES 2014, the German car company revealed its first two automomous cars.
Two self-driving BMWs, a 2-series ands a 6-series, were rolled out at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and put through their paces. Each completed a slalom course and even showed off a high-speed turn on a wet roadway, as their "drivers" gleefully holding their hands up to the windows. There was also an advanced, self-parking BMW i3 capable of longitudinal as well as lateral guidance.
Another of BMW's automated advances comes in the form of an app for Samsung's Galaxy Gear smartwatch for the BMW i3, which lets you use the smartwatch to control all of the car's functions. Everything from the car's internal climate to battery charge levels can be monitored from your wrist. There's even the option of sending your car a destination and having it plan out a route before you get inside.
All of these advancements are part of BMW's next generation of ConnectedDrive. With it, we could see cars capable of navigating any road condition or traffic pattern, parking for us, and even swinging by school to pick up the little brother all without a human behind the wheel. Once 2020 swings around the corner, we'll just might all find ourselves saving up for that autonomous, connected beamer that does all our driving work for us.

This particular FreeWave unit is compatible with cameras with a sub-mini connection, i.e. Canon EOS Rebel series, 60D, & PowerShot G1 X, Contax N and 645, Pentax K and DS series, Samsung GX series DSLRs, and Olympus E-1, E-3, and E-5 cameras.
This versatile shutter release features Smart Code technology which allows it to be configured to operate on up to 16 million possible radio channels. You can easily switch channels to "zero in" on a frequency that provides optimal range and functionality.
The FreeWave operates with radio frequency (RF) technology, therefore a direct line of sight is not necessary; radio waves pass through objects such as windows and walls. It is unlike other wireless remotes on the market that operate on an Infrared (IR) system and require a direct line of sight between transmitter and receiver to make things work.
Since touching the camera even lightly while capturing an image can create a blurred image, the FreeWave eliminates this by tripping the shutter without any disturbances. This is critical when photographing subjects close up, and for long-exposures and macros. It is also extremely valuable when photographing nature, wildlife and other subjects that are difficult for you to get close to.
Compatible cameras:
Canon EOS: Elan series, Digital Rebel (300D), XT (350D), XTi (400D), XSi (450D), T1i (500D), T2i (550D), T3 (1100D), T3i (600D), T4i (650D), T5 (1200D), T5i (700D), SL1 (100D) and XS (1000D), 60D & 70D; PowerShot G10, G11, G12, G15, G16, G1 X & G1 X Mark II, SX50 HS

Ep·i·cu·rusbiographical name \ˌe-pi-ˈkyu̇r-əs\
Epicurusbiographical name (Concise Encyclopedia)
(born 341, Samos, Greecedied 270 BC, Athens) Greek philosopher. He was author of an ethical philosophy of simple pleasure, friendship, and retirement (see Epicureanism) and a metaphysics based on atomism. His school in Athens, the Garden, competed with the Academy of Plato and the Lyceum of Aristotle. Unlike both of these schools, it admitted women, and even one of Epicurus's slaves. It taught the avoidance of political activity and of public life. Notwithstanding the usual connotations of the term epicurean today, life at the school was simple. He was a widely appealing figure in Rome during the 1st century BC; the poet-philosopher Lucretius based his work on Epicurus's thought. His atomism was revived in the 17th century by Pierre Gassendi (1592–1655).

Lobelia Plants
Lobelia may also be known to you as "Indian Tobacco", a name derived from Native Americans utilizing this 'herb' medicinally for relief from asthma-like conditions. Lobelia plants are actually still in use today as a healing herb, but are more commonly used by those gardeners who love its star-shaped flowers in all shades of blue, from the deepest sapphire to the lightest sky blue.
Lobelia, pronounced loe-BEEL-yuh, typically loves cooler climates, but the development of new hybrids is resulting in Lobelia plants that thrive even in the desert southwest in all but the hottest, sunniest areas of your yard. Lobelias make perfect container plants and also perform well as a ground cover or in borders.
Our potted Lobelia plants for sale are guaranteed, read about it on our Satisfaction page.

Guest Blogger & Giveaway: Brett Bara's Sewing in a Straight Line
Today we welcome our first ever guest blogger to the site! Brett Bara, crafter extraordinaire, has joined us today to tell us about the inspiration behind her new book, Sewing in a Straight Line, and even has one copy to give away to one of our lucky readers! I hope that you enjoy Brett's post.
REMEMBER: To win today's giveaway, you must be a registered Craftsy member. It's easy and FREE to join!
Hi There!
I'm so happy to be popping by today at Craftsy to say hello and tell you about my new book, Sewing in a Straight Line. It's a collection of clothes, accessories, home decor, quilts and gifts that can all be made by sewing straight lines only!
I was inspired to make this book because I noticed that more and more people seemed to be mentioning to me that they'd like to learn to sew, but that it seemed too hard and they had no idea where to start.
Then one day I had an epiphany when I realized that so much of what I sew is actually made with nothing but… straight lines! And anybody can sew a straight line. So I thought that if I could create a book of projects that are super easy to make but look really cute, then lots more people out there could start sewing. Hooray!
The result is a range of projects that start at very easy, then add in more and more techniques to help you learn and build your skills. Some of the projects are perfect for brand-new beginners, while others will help you learn techniques like shirring, making a fitted waistband, working with specialty fabrics, and quilting.
So I hope you'll check it out and give sewing a try! In the meanwhile, I'd like to invite you to stop over to my blog where I've got some really juicy giveaways happening every day, from thread and books to fabric, sewing tools, and even a sewing machine and serger!
And today I have a giveaway just for Craftsy – one copy of my book!
Thanks, Brett, for stopping by! I just love your new book, and I'm sure that our readers will too!
Readers: To win, Just leave a comment below and tell us what you love most about Brett's new book!

What adorable projects! I would love to win a copy of this book!
I would love to win a copy of this book! Such cute things for being just straight lines!
i would love to lean to sew as i cant quite sew in a string line
Those nesting fabric pots look great – I'd love to win this to have a go at them! xx
What a great idea for a book. I am a sewing phobic and start many projects that don't get finished
what a great way to start someone sewing.
What a novel approach. I have been asked many times by nieces if I would teach them to sew and have always shied away as wasn't sure where to begin. Love Brett's concept for this book would be the perfect beginning for my nieces.
Congratulations on your book,what a great idea.
The projects look neat – I rarely use my 'fancy' stitches, and there is so much you can do with sewing a straight line.
What a great blog! Love the simple designs. Even experienced sewers like me still like simple patterns to work on. Simple is beautiful! Hope I win!
Cute ideas. would love a copy of this book!
What cute projects. I would love to have the book for myself and my kids for inspiration!
I love the projects listed above. Especially the bowls and the strippy quilt. If I don't win this I will certainly be buying the book. Thanks for the inspiration!!
I have so many friends with sewing machines who tell me that they want to learn to sew but need to start with a project that involves only straight lines. Currently, I only have one go-to project that meets their criteria. I'd love to win a copy of this book so that I could have a whole host of projects to offer. I want them to become as addicted to sewing as I am! (Does that mean I'm a pusher?!)
What's not to love about this book? I'm an excellent sewer when it's all about straight lines and angles, it's those darn curves that mess a girl up!
Love these projects, especially the cute belt and the bowls. These look like things I could teach my daughters-in-law.
I have made one bowl and it was fun. I do a lot of straight line sewing but most of my lines are not so straight.
So many projects to make with only Sewing in a Straight Line. Most people not familiar with sewing, think it is rocket science. Your accomplishments show them just what can be done with straight line sewing. Would love this book, thanks for writing it.
With limited time I love easy projects to work on in between the more complicated projects. This book sounds like it has a good mix of items to work on.
I have had three family members recently ask me to teach them to sew. This would be great to help me do this since it has a variety of projects that get progressively more difficult using different techniques. It would also be a good review for me to brush up and update my skills as well.
Looks like fun and easy projects, always looking for great projects that will interest the grandchildren so they will love sewing
I am always doing one or another sewing or craft project. I have been working on some quilts for gifts but here soon I will need to start in on Christmas for my 7 grandkids. Would love to win a copy of "Sewing in a Straight Line".
I like the idea that the book is all about sewing with a regular sewing machine. So many projects require the fancy dancy machine and these projects will work perfectly on a simpler machine.
Your projects are fabulous! I love it that you are getting people who've never sewn interested and discovering the joys of sewing. For those of us who've been sewing for a long time the projects you introduce are lovely and I'd look forward to giving them a go if I were to win this lovely book.
Your blog is super and I just love your kitty's new "do".
I would love this book.
I love to sew in straight lines…it's how I was taught and it looks more polished when done, I think.
I'd love to read your book too…so, I hope I can win it!
I love this concept! I love to sew, and used to make my own clothes and clothes for my girls. It's been a decade or more since I sewed on a regular basis and these are just the kind of projects to help me regain confidence in my sewing skills!
I would love this book. I need easy to follow, easy to do projects.
I am always looking for new and interesting ideas to sew for my wonderful little granddaughters. Now that I am retired I have time to learn and experiment more. Your book looks like a great addition to any sewist library.
great projects!!!
I love that the projects pictured do not seem to require a lot of fabric to complete. I have a stash of fat quarters that I have no idea what to do with. Those nesting bowls would be a great way to use up some of that stash!
I used to sew quite a bit but for the past few years have not done much sewing. This year I took a quilting class and have started sewing again – I realized how much I miss it. Your projects look fun and easy and I would love to add your book to my new collection of sewing and craft books
I have bought several sewing machines but I never use fancy stitches. I think a book using straight lines is a terrific idea. I would love to read this book!
This book looks to be full of really helpful tips and great projects, I would love to have this book.
would love to win your book
I, like many others, love the nesting bowls !! I Love craft sewing, and I also embroider…Everything ! I would love to win your awesome book too, I need some New idea's for fun gifts. Thank You
I would love a copy of your book. I am teaching my 16 year old granddaughter to sew. This book would be a great help to her.
I love the wide variety of projects! I really want to make that skirt on the cover too cute!
I haven't used a sewing machine in years, but maybe this book would encourage me.
I love sewing books! This one looks great.
LOVE the placemat! Hope I win!
I would like to sew in a straight line! Is love some inspiration!
This is awesome. I was just joking about sewing straight lines!
I can't wait to make some of the bara bowls! YAY!
Love it!!
Say "YES" to the dress! I believe I would actually be able to create these peojects! Thanks for the great idea.
What a great idea. I am just retiring and looking into getting back into sewing after at least 20 years so need new and easy things to try.
I absolutely agree with what Brett said about how people perceive sewing as being difficult. I hear that same remark all that time. I think its a great idea to create a book so people can become knowledgable on the simpler things that can be sewn with the option of going more technical. Awesome!
I'm all for anything to encourage others to sew-I give sewing lessons to anyone who is keen to learn. Once I've shown them the basics, they realize that they CAN sew!
Great Ideas! Thanks for sharing!
This looks like a book with a good variety of projects!—and fun ones at that!
I'm very much looking forward to this book coming out! I can't wait too see all the different "stuff" to make.
I love this idea! I teach a weekly class for young gals who want to learn to sew and thee would be amazing ideas for our newbies!
It looks like a great book, and I love those nested bowls!
This books looks great. Funny that so many of us have friends that have machines but don't know how to sew! This book would be a great tool for those people. I have a friend who asked me to help her learn and this book looks like it would have some really nice and easy projects for us.
I'd love a copy of the Sewing in Straight Lines book. Early in my quilting passion a teacher told me I didn't need a fancy sewing machine – just one that would go backwards and forwards in a straight line! She was right – LOL
I think the book is inspirational and think it would be perfect to get my daughter to try sewing and keep the family tradition going for another generation! It's something to be passed down for generations to come
This book looks like a great way to help me teach my granddaughter to sew. I'd love to have one. Really like the "pots." What a clever idea. (and I like what looks very much like a Navajo rug beneath the pots!)
I have lost count of how many projects are sitting in a corner because instructions sometimes leave me baffled. sounds like this book will be the answer to my prayers!
I have always wanted to tackle making a quilt and your idea is really great! I hope to win your book so I can finally get started quilting!
So many straight seams – so little time! Inspirational. Well done.
This looks like a great book. Am teaching my 6 and 10 year old granddaughters to sew and this would be easy for them to learn from since all straight lines. Thanks for the hard work.
I would love this book. I love the wall hanging at least I think it is a wall hanging. I am just learning how to quilt so I am looking for easy patterns. Thanks for sharing with us.
Your book is a great idea. I'm not a big fan of quilts as they're not usually my style but I love that little quilt of yours. It's modern and inspiring enough to make me want to have a go at it.
This could be the beginning of a new obsession for me as I'm always falling in love with quilting fabrics but never found a quilt design before that inspired me to try.
It looks like a great book to add to my sewing books.
I learned to sew on my gr. grandmothers treadle machine.then an old black singer. and then a bernina 1530. I added a serger along the way. also a a con-sew. I made everything from Jeep tops to wedding dresses. I'm retired and ready for really fun sewing I have to teach grandaughters

Oh I would love this book! I have been sewing now some 50 yrs and I would love to do these projects on my Singer Featherweight 221 which only sews straight lines. I do use it to piece quilts but I would love to make other things to get more use out of my machine. These seem like perfect projects. Congrats on your new book your designs are so adorable.
Love the sound of your new book!
I just heard about this book the other day on my carft board. This would be an awesome addition to my sewing library! Thanks for the chance to win!!

What a wonderful idea! I quilt but don't "sew" and tell people all the time that I can only sew in straight lines. I love the bowls!
That is the same epiphany I had, when I decided to learn to quilt. While looking at the baby quilt gift givent to my son, I noticed it was all STRAIGHT LINES! Love those cute bowls.
I really want to learn to sew! It's on my list, and this book sounds perfect as a tool to do so.
Your designs are so cute! Would love to win!
I'd love to receive a copy of the book "Sewing in Straight Lines" book. I look forward to attempting some of the projects.
Looking forward to the book and new site
I sure could use the help with my sewing . Would love to learn how to use a server. Good luck to I as well.
Im one who wants to learn how to sew my own tops and learn how to quilt. I know I would truly enjoy your book, I'd love to win one!
i absolutly love everything! my favorite is the belt though. why i would like to win a copy of this book? i live in austria, and i have a small project planned for next year. i want to create small objects and hide those small gifts in each district of vienna with the instruction, that the person who finds it, has to create something himself and hide it somewhere in the district where they found it. he gives the same instruction and so on. there are 23 districts in vienna, which means 23 crafts. i'm already kind of out of ideas….. i have an old singer sewing machine of my grandmother and i started about a month ago to create some stuff. now i'm completely addicted to this machine! the book looks like a real inspiration for this project! the ideas are easy, the instructions are very well explained and the style is modern – exactly what i'm looking for!
What a great idea! Would love to win a copy and learn new things.
What absolutely juicy projects! I've mostly been doing quilting, but the photos are giving me ideas and tempting me back into sewing wearables again. Good luck with your new book!
This book is great. I would love to win it. I have put off sewing lately to concentrate on other crafts, But I love sewing and should get back to it. This is a perfect way to get started again. I love the way you progress to different techniques in stead of making it all just one learning level! Thanks for your generosity.
Sewing straight lines sounds right up my alley lol. I think starting out like that will build my sewing confidence!
I'm retired now and need projects – this sounds like just the thing for me. I can do straight lines. Love the idea.
It's been a while since I have done some serious sewing, but just seeing the nested bowls has given me an inspiration to get back to it. I can already see those bowls finished and sitting on my sideboard already!
Who new that straight lines could create such beautiful work! I would love to win this book for myself or as a gift for my daughter, who is in college majoring in Costume Design. Yes, she is already a master at the machine, but everyone could use and learn from this terrific book! Even if I don't win, I may go and buy it! Thanks for the great give away and post!
This book sounds great, would love to win a copy!
looks like some great projects! And I love the idea of being able to sew a straight line and accomplishing a project.
What a lovely book full of easy to follow projects, hope I win a copy and then can get started straight away. If not I will have to go out and buy myself a copy it looks so much fun.
LOVE straight lines, can get one everywhere… went to you site, viewed a few of your videos and love your work. Feeling lucky and hopeful to receive a copy of your book to start a few early Christmas gift and keepers for my home. Thank you for the kind offer of this. Will continue to look for your blog and work.
Im 74, and learned to use a sewing machine by trial and error a few years ago, I have made dozens of cushions for people , and charities but would realy appreciate some professional help to read…

What I like about this book is that it's making sewing accessible to beginners. I'd love to win a copy!
Looks like some pretty nifty things to make! I really hope to get one of these!
I've often thought that a book with only rectangle, square, and triangular shapes would be great and would fall right in line with your straight line sewing!!! Love It!!!
My Mom taught me how to sew when I was a girl, we used to make Barbie clothes! I've been sewing ever since then. I have now taught my daughter how to sew and we each have a machine and will spend time together sewing. Not only is it relaxing for me, but I love spending this time with my daughter ~ it's time that will be with me forever!
Thanks for listening!
What a Great Idea!! Keeping it simple has always been my motto. The book looks like great fun.
Just returning to sewing after 35 years away. What a different world now!! Would love to win a copy of "Sewing in a Straight Line" to get started again.
I love the concept. I would like to win your book to give my granddaughter who wants to learn to sew.
Those bowls really are gorgeous and I would love to make that skirt. Straight lines are my specialty! I would love this book!
i love all the different types of projects that she has in the book!
I love to sew, sew most every day and love it yet I find I continue to learn something new everyday. I learned from my childhood friend's moms and I have shared with my daughter, granddaughter and daughter-in-law. Thank you for sharing your craft and experiences!
The title of the book jumped out right at me, a straight line! I love that the projects are going to be something that I can do ( I think) I have always always wanted to learn how to sew, so hopefully now will be my chance if I get to win this good book! Thanks so much fo the try! Louella Turvey
Wow, adorable! So many inspiration and fun projects! I would love the book pleaseeee!
Love this idea The belt in the first picture caught my eye immediately. And those adorable nesting bowls! They look like they would be difficult! I love things that look hard but are really easy!
My sewing skills are so minimal – this book sounds like a fun way to expand my abilities! Thanks for posting about it. I can't wait to give it a whirl!
Brilliant idea! A great resource for me and my daughters!
I would love to win a copy of this book so that I can put my sewing machine to good use.
I would also like to join Craftsy but it doesn't recognize my email address!
I really like the idea of a book with projects for everyone. I would like to win the book because I sew home fashions for the public . Some of the job are big and etc ( 14 yrs ). It is easy to lose the fun of sewing while sewing for a living. I need ideas from other to keep my mind open and fresh. Plus it give me the fun easy things to do so I can keep loving sewing even when I do not want to love it . Nancy
Love that you have projects for beginning sewers and for those of us who have been sewing for what seems like forever. I'm teaching a newbie and know she will love the cute projects in your book. Thanks for the give-away!
I love any book about sewing projects. I really am interested in the mat/rug looking thing that looks quilted. I love books and sewing so what would be better than getting a copy of this book!
I love the fact that the projects go from easy to more advanced. That really helps when learning to sew for the first time.
Just the right book for me! I'm one of those "want to learn sewing but don't know where to start" person, luckily I found craftsy, I will begin the sewing studio class very soon. I can see this book to be a great additional practice guide for me!
What a great idea….the pictures of some of your projects are really cute and I would love getting your book so I could reproduce them! Thanks for making "funky" easy projects.
Omg..so many wonderful projects..being a new sewer it makes me so excited to see such creativity that is used not otherwise thought about! I would love to have this book to start off my collection.
oh! I would adore to sew all of this book! :O)
Hugsssssss and thanks in advance ;O)
Quilting in strips really intrigues me!
Looks like fun and how imaginative you were to create all this with straight lines
There are some really cute things in this book! I've just recently started sewing, so this would be a great book to practice with
I need this book – I have been stuck in the house all summer because of the heat and I need some sewing to keep my mind off of being inside with nothing to do but cleaning and cooking!!!
I would love to win this book. Thanks
I've perused the book at Books a million, and I am most impressed. I am so happy to see that younger people are again taking an interest in sewing. You do have a chance to make your wardrobe unique and to reflect your own style and not that of thousands of others.
Since I've only been sewing for a couple of months, straight lines are the way to go for me! I'd love to win!
i love brett bara..is there something she cant do?..i love all the patterns in the book..they seem really inventive
ummm all the straight lines?! i'm new to sewing and i love that i feel like i could actually tackle these projects–needless to say they are also adorable!
oohh..i would like to have a copy of that FAB book!!
Oooh, this looks great!. I just started sewing and these patterns look perfectly easy for me:)
Beautiful patterns! I would love to own a copy if it is not to late to win. (Going to add it to my amazon wish list too so I don't forget!)
What a great idea. Straight line sewing is so easy to learn and will get more people sewing.
Thanks for the review – looks like a great book.
i still want to win the book!!
The post you wrote is really nice.
