The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Hillary Clinton said that the United States was open to the idea of a
peace agreement with the Afghan Taliban movement that involved the
controversial Haqqani Network * the subset of the Afghan jihadist movement
active in eastern Afghanistan. In response to a question on whether the
Haqqanis constituted reconcilable elements of the Taliban, Clinton said,
*Where we are right now is that we view the Haqqanis and other of their
ilk as, you know, being adversaries and being very dangerous to Americans,
Afghans and coalition members inside Afghanistan, but we are not shutting
the door on trying to determine whether there is some path forward."
These are some extraordinary comments. It was only a few weeks ago that
the top American military officer, Admiral Michael Mullen accused
Pakistan*s foreign intelligence service, the Inter-Services Intelligence
(ISI) directorate of officially supporting the Haqqani Network (as it is
popularly referred to) including its targeting of the U.S. embassy in
Kabul on Sept 13. Those remarks led to unprecedented levels of tensions
between the United States and Pakistan.
Even with regards to Pakistan Clinton issue statements markedly different
than the one that have been coming out of the Obama administration. In
fact, President Barack Obama himself, less than a week ago, warned
Islamabad that if it continued to have relations with anti-American
militants in Afghanistan it was jeopardizing long-term relations with
Washington. Today, however, Clinton speaking to reporters said that the
United States had no choice but to work with Pakistan in its efforts to
resolve the problems of Afghanistan.
So, the question is why is the Obama administration going back and forth
on Pakistan and the Haqqanis? The answer has to do with the fact that the
United States realizes that it needs Pakistani assistance in order to
reach a negotiated settlement in Afghanistan, which in turn entails
talking to the Haqqanis but it doesn*t want to do engage with either from
a position of relative weakness. This would explain Clinton*s comments
highlighting the complexity of U.S. dealings with the Haqqanis.
The U.S. Secretary of State said that, *it is also true that we are still
trying to kill and capture or neutralize them. And they are still trying
to, you know, kill as many Americans, Afghans and coalition members as
they can. In many instances where there is an ongoing conflict, you are
fighting and looking to talk. And then eventually maybe you are fighting
and talking. And then maybe you've got a cease-fire. And then maybe you
are just talking." These remarks come after the leader of the Haqqanis,
Sirajuddin Haqqani Sept 17 said that he was prepared for talks followed by
a Oct 5 report in the WSJ that the ISI mediated talks between the Haqqanis
and U.S. officials.
All wars end in negotiated settlements. This is especially the case where
a military solution cannot be imposed. The fighting, however, doesn*t
cease just because the two sides are engaged in talks.
On the contrary, the two go hand in hand. Both sides want to be able to
get the other to accept its terms. Therefore, their forces will continue
to weaken one another on the battlefield even as their representatives are
meeting behind the scenes to reach a political settlement.
Afghanistan is no exception to this rule but the situation there is much
more complex than what was the case in Vietnam. The Afghan insurgent
landscape is composed of a number of different stake-holders. There is
also the Pakistani factor and its regional interests and those state and
non-state actors who oppose the Talibs and their Pakistani supporters.
Therefore, the United States has no choice but to engage in a complex set
of moves that may appear contradictory but in effect are attempts to try
and navigate through a difficult situation.

Cute photo blocks
We bought a few of these to decorate our sons room. He is 18 months old. We just got pictures of him and the rest of the family, and put them up on a shelf in his room. Sometimes he likes us to take them down and he builds little towers with them :) very cute idea!Stacking in style
I teach a kindergarten class, and I love using these blocks. I have the kids bring in pictures of them and their family and pets, and they create their own personalized block. After everyone does that, we just have fun building different structures with the blocks. The kids love it, and they get a positive feeling of ownership when they see their block in the structure.

My neighbor/landlord wants to cut down a tree. How can I stop this?
Trees on private property are the responsibility of the property owner. Here are several steps you can take to support your neighbor or landlord to save a tree.
1. Find out the reason for tree removal. Is their reason aesthetic or do they believe the tree is doing some harm to their property or poses some other danger? If their reasoning is related to the appearance or maintenance of the tree, proceed to step two. If they believe the tree is a hazard proceed to step four.
2. Share the benefits of trees with your neighbor or landlord. Write a letter, or even better, speak with them in person. Let them know that trees increase property value and reduce energy costs. Refer them to our site to learn about the benefits of trees.
3. Rally positive support from neighbors and encourage the property owner to preserve the tree or trees. This is a great opportunity to strengthen your community. Listen to the concerns of your neighbors. The closer you and your neighbors come to developing a shared vision of your neighborhood, the easier it will be to realize that vision.
If you live in an apartment complex and the building manager/owner wants to cut down the tree, a strong response from residents may help convince them to preserve the tree or trees. Talk with other apartment residents and determine if you each should call the building manager/owner directly or write a letter that everyone signs.
4. Stay positive. Caring for living trees can be a passionate endeavor. Avoid anger and blame when dealing with people who don't see your point of view. Your positive attitude will inspire others and keep your own spirits lifted.
5. Negotiate with your neighbor. Try to understand their point of view. Really listen to them. One helpful technique is identifying "resistance phrases." For instance, when someone says, "That tree is lifting my foundation," try answering with "If we can find a way for the tree to not damage your home will you leave it intact?" Keep listening. Pull out your emotional objections and try to find realistic solutions.
6. Consult a professional. One reason owners may want to remove a tree is that they think it is hazardous or will damage a building. To assess the situation you can hire a tree care professional such as an arborist, or other certified tree care expert. For arborists in your area please visit www.isa-arbor.com/findArborist/findarborist.aspx. There will be a fee for the consultation, so keep that in mind. In legal disputes, expert witnesses and attorneys specializing in landscape law can be consulted.

Large-format Projectors
Jan 25, 2012 10:36 AM, By Mark Johnson
Large-format projectors, or large-venue projectors, are the NASCAR racers of projectors. These are projectors with some lumen horsepower behind them and built for performance; bright, powerful, and able to project large-scale images for entertainment, meetings, command and control, simulation, and myriad other applications requiring a large image. Across the board, these projectors are capable of displaying HD images and some are even 3D ready. Of course there are a few different imaging systems to choose from including LCD, 3LCD DLP, BrilliantColor DLP, and D-ILA LCoS, with some representing incremental advancements to existing technologies. Each exhibits its own pros and cons, but all are proven technologies nonetheless. Some manufacturers are incorporating onboard processing into the projectors to facilitate using multiple projectors for edge blending or tiling for an even larger display area.
Total cost of ownership (TCO) is an important aspect to consider in a projector. The cost of replacement lamps represents a substantial part of ongoing expenses over the life of a projector. The bulk of these projectors use at least two, if not four, lamps to achieve the high brightness levels required for this category. Most offer an eco mode, short for economy mode, which effectively reduces the overall brightness but extends the lamp life. You might also see the word "eco" used elsewhere on the product literature where it has another meaning entirely–in this instance referring to the ecology and the manufacturers' efforts to be environmentally responsible.
Filter maintenance is essential to keeping the electronics cool and airborne contaminants out of the imaging systems and as such also factors into TCO. And manufacturers have addressed it by developing extended life filters, auto-advancing filters, and some even offer filter-less operation with sealed optical engines. Additionally, projectors are becoming more energy efficient requiring less power to attain their rated brightness. And while many can run off 100 to 240V via auto-switching power supplies, some do require 220VAC to operate.
We'll be looking at models capable of producing 5000 lumens or greater.
The Field
The 20,000-lumen FLM HD20 three-chip DLP projector from Barco features 1920x1080 resolution. The FLM HD20 utilizes a sealed optical engine that helps prevent environmental contaminants from degrading the image. Additionally liquid cooling is employed, which also helps to keep noise levels down. Included is projector toolset software that provides basic control and diagnostics as well as other features. ScenergiX software provides edge-blending capabilities.
BenQ's dual-lamp SP920P provides native XGA resolution (1024x768) and 6000 lumens of brightness and can project a diagonally measured 4:3 image size of up to 300in. (16:9 aspect ratio selectable). The projector features HDMI (v1.3) and DVI-D inputs along with component, S-Video, composite and analog RGB, and utilizes a DLP BrilliantColor light engine.
The single-chip, dual-lamp DLP Boxlight PRO7501DP produces 7500 lumens with a native 1024x768 (XGA) resolution. The PRO7501DP provides a projected image size of 40in. to 500in. with projection distances from 3ft. to 80ft. The projector features a filter-free design and Dual Lamp Switching technology cycles from one lamp to the other to ensure balanced use and extend lamp life.
Canon's LCD LV7590 provides 7000 lumens of brightness and features an auto-advancing filter system and native XGA resolution (1024x768). Five optional lenses are available. Additional features include Auto Picture Control, Auto Lamp mode and a variety of Image Mode settings. An optional Network Imager allows for remote management over an Ethernet-based network.
The Christie DHD800 features 1-chip DLP light engine technology and provides full HD resolution (1920x1080) with 8000 lumens of brightness. Estimated lamp life is up to 2000 hours in Normal Mode (3000 hours in Eco Mode). The projector features user changeable color wheels, edge-blending capability, auto-switching lamps, and mechanical shutter (light dowser).
Digital Projection's Titan Quad Series include the WUXGA Quad 3D 3-chip DLP projector. Four high-intensity discharge 400W lamps provide a light output of 16,000 lumens. The native resolution is 1920x1080. Input connectivity includes composite, S-Video, HDMI 1.4, component, and DVI. The main and sub DVI inputs can be used to support dual-pipe 3D connectivity.
The Dukane ImagePro 8950P LCD projector delivers 7500 lumens (6000 in whisper mode) and features XGA resolution (1024x768). Six different lens options provide an image size from 40in. up to 700in. A mechanical shutter enables a blank mode. The filter life is 10,000 hours. Signal inputs include component, S-Video, composite, HDMI, DVI-D, and RGB.

Afrika's tale—saved from the streets to play on the streets
South Africa team captain Afrika sizes himself up against Internazionale greats at the San Siro in Milan. (© 2009 Christina Ghubril)
Football's powers of resurrection have rarely had a better exemplar than Martin Afrika. The 32-year-old captain for South Africa at the Homeless World Cup, which concluded Sept 13 in Milan, literally has reconstructed his identity through sport.
Before the 2008 tournament in Melbourne, for which he had qualified through an extended culling process in Western Cape, Afrika had to prove his existence to South African authorities in what turned out to be a race against time. It was a race he lost.
Put out of his home at five, imprisoned by 11 and shot four times as a member of one of the so-called number gangs in Clarke's Estate, a "coloured" township in Cape Flats, Afrika bears scars and tattoos from a life shaped by institutionalized violence. Afrika's brother serves in Pollsmoor maximum security prison for having murdered their father. Number gangs, with ties to similar gangs in prisons, have origins in the resettlement of mixed-race populations in Cape Flats under the 1950 Group Areas Act. Generations marginalized by apartheid still pay the cost.
Interview with Afrika, from Cape Town, Sept 17. (21:51) Download »
"He's survived, and I don't know how he's done it," says Linzi Thomas, former film producer and founder of MylifE, a life-skills program for street children. Given Cape Town's postcard setting, that vagrancy and drug use have taken hold among small children comes as a shock. Thomas says she has encountered children as young as seven using crack cocaine.
To help in the rehabilitation process, MylifE early in its work formed a football team. After the 2008 Homeless World Cup trials, Thomas approached Afrika to offer the group's resources, including a place to live.
Afrika credits Thomas and MylifE for bringing him back to football, which is omnipresent in Cape Flats as well as in prisons, where Afrika played 11-a-side. Once selected for the 2008 trials, he stopped using drugs. After spending his energy at football training, he found himself losing desire for alcohol, drugs and the trappings of gangsterism.
Street football, the four-on-four court variant played at the Homeless World Cup, meshes well in a city environment of limited spaces and improvised rules. Matches last 14 minutes. Although the program has yet to become rooted across South Africa, more than 500 now participate weekly in a Western Cape league on 16m-x-22m pitches chalked onto car-park pavement.
David Abrahams, co-director of South African Homeless Street Soccer, emphasizes that players resolve all conflicts during games. Given the confines in street football, play tends to be fast and physical.

Abrahams attracted the program's principal funder, Florida-based From Us with Love, by demonstrating the sport's magnetic appeal in the Cape Town business district. The group's operations manager, Mike Mastrocinque, recalls Abrahams setting up portable goalposts in parking lots. "Before you knew it," Mastrocinque says, "you had matches going on, you had people in the community coming to watch it."
He was also impressed by soccer's transformative dimension. The sport offered respite from homelessness and addiction but also the residual benefit of motivating participants to take literacy classes, visit job-skill centers and reunite with families. Further, street football changes views of people who watch the homeless play. Barriers of racism and economic status seem less important afterward.
"If you would have told me that you could use soccer as a tool to make an impact on homeless people's lives like this, I'd have told you you're crazy," Mastrocinque says. "Being there and seeing it with my own eyes, I'm amazed at how this impacts their lives."
Football rescued Afrika again after the futile quest for proof of ID before the 2008 Homeless World Cup. Navigating the tangle of paper-producing agencies on their clients' behalf might be the biggest headache facing advocates for the displaced and transient worldwide. In Afrika's case, he had to locate his parents' death certificates, track down birth records and find evidence of enrollment at his first school. By Apr 09, with Afrika on the rebound from a drug relapse, South African authorities told him his fingerprints resembled someone from Madagascar. Ultimately, the Department of Home Affairs assisted with certifying Afrika's travel visa to Italy.
Afrika faced other problems. On the website of an in-process documentary about the side, Streetball, funded by From Us with Love, filmmaker Demetrius Wren reports seeing Afrika return to trials following the relapse:
He looks like he has lost a bit of weight and has some sadness in him where there used to be pure adrenaline and excitement. He got kicked out of MyLife, he says for bringing his girlfriend over, and spent a few weeks back on the street and had everything he owned stolen from him. The depression of his circumstances led him back to drugs, none of which he was happy about. Since he is trying out for the 2009 team, he is back living at MyLife but doesn't feel like he is as loved or accepted by his community as he once did. Due to his appearance and tattoos he has gathered that there are people who do not want to be seen with him, since he looks like a gangster. He has had troubles with some of his old relationships following him, particularly when he leaves his current community and, for example, goes to visit his son. He was chased by a rival gang the last time he dropped his son off and was scared for his life.
In an interview Sept 17, however, four days after winning the City of Milan Cup, one of five lower-tier trophies in the 48-team tournament, Afrika credited football and Thomas's intervention with restoring his sense of potential. He also could have thanked Penny Streeter, native Zimbabwean and founder of Ambition 24hours, the team's shirt sponsor, for funding air travel and for other donations that made up the balance when the city of Cape Town withdrew its funding at the last minute.
"I can be the person that I think I can be," is the mantra that Afrika credits to MylifE. "The past is the past. You can't go back to your past and do right what you did wrong. But you can do right into the future. That's how we changed my life."
Getting such fundamentals to translate to the tactics board is not easy. South Africa—Afrika along with Cheslyn Jacobs, Asanda Mini, Ephraim Maarman, Collen Davids, Rushaad Grootboom, Thulisile Bolana and Siphiwe Mayesela—in Milan quickly encountered the quality and speed of play that can be difficult to replicate in practice. On consecutive days they lost to Hungary (8–9), Ghana (4–7), Ireland (3–10), Lithuania (1–7). Mini, who had looked forward to the spaghetti in Milan, was injured against Ghana and would miss the remaining seven matches. South Africa's dream of returning with a trophy was slipping away. But with help of coach Alan Lotz and manager Gavin Cohen they studied opponents, called team meetings and worked on communication.
"Football is about winning and losing, but you must never give up, win or lose," Afrika says. "What makes a better man is a man who lost and always [is] happy. … That makes a better player than a player that drinks and celebrates."
With its culminating 9–1 victory over Malawi on Sept 13, South Africa finished 17th. Two days after winning the Milan trophy the side met deputy president Kgalema Motlanthe, who noted the benefits of football's intrinsic emphasis on goal-setting. "Football is not just a game," he said. "Football is actually a philosophy of life."
To Thomas, the trip to Italy transformed Afrika—the oldest member of the side—from ex-gangster to little boy. World travel did not come easily at the beginning. On the journey's first leg between Cape Town and Johannesburg, players had to be ushered from the aisle back to their seats when they thought the plane was headed for a crash landing.
Afrika has become a world citizen. His parting words are diplomatic. "You enjoy the evening in America and say hi for everybody."

There are 8 Simply Fantastic Quilt Projects with beautiful photos !
And the book delivers exactly what it Promises!... Projects for those who love COLOR...
I think my most favorite quilt in the book is VOLUME on page 34... Absolutely Scrumptious!
Wow,Great looking book.
I must admit I prefer it nice and quiet. Or as quiet as it can be with 2 boys 11 & 12 while on School holidays.
I guess I just enjoy the piece and quite and get lost in my sewing.
Hugs from Australia
This book sounds wonderful, and I love colour (crossing fingers and toes!).
I sew mainly in peace and quite, but sometimes turn up the radio, one of our channel is per 80's music! takes you back to your youth....Kx
The book really looks fresh and modern. I like listening to podcasts while I'm sewing away or longarming. tsladovnik @gmail. com.
Lately I love listening to Pandora radio while I sew. I love my "James Taylor" station right now. Thanks for your blog - I love scraps, and I love color!
I always listen to the radio while sewing
I usually listen to the radio while sewing, but sometimes the peace and quiet is nice too :-)
Greetings from Slovakia!
I like sewing in peace and quiet. I have far too much noise in the rest of my life.
I watch TV while I am sewing, or at least have it on for background noise. I love to multitask and this is one way I do it.
I have three very noisy little ones and a husband who plays rock guitar so my choice would be peace and quiet every time LOL
I almost always put on a movie when I am sewing. I don't really watch - I think it is more for just some sort of "company" while I am in the studio. I have thought about an audio book but know I would get caught up in the story and end up sewing my fingers together!
Looks like a great book. I am gathering my scraps, ironing and sorting. I am finally ready to make a scrap quilt!
A fantastic book! I sew in complete silence in my studio, I find I am more focused this way, though when I am stitching in the house I have the tv on for company - wierd I know :)
I have tons of scraps. When I quilt, I listen to Audio books that I get through various Libraries. I have 5 library cards, and use them all. Just this week, I listened to, "You Know When The Men Are Gone", by Siobhan Fallon. It was an excellent read. I prefer to work alone, when no one is around, so I can focus.
The book looks so inspiring! I need music playing either on my computer or ipod. I can turn the music on as loud as I want and no one others me.
Looks like a great book--thanks for the chance to win! I like to sew in peace--with 3 kids and a dog, I don't get much peace at other times, and sewing is my escape!
It depends on my mood - either its quiet or music from my iPhone. i have a great selection in there so it will keep me company in my craft room.
Looks like a fun book! Sometimes I sew with the TV on - I listen to music or news - other times I love the quiet. Either way, I'm happy to be sewing! Thanks for the giveway.
I like sewing in peace and quiet :
Looks like a great book!
I like to listen to a good audiobook when sewing.
Greetings from Norway.
I love Emily Cier's patterns! For me, it depends what I am sewing - if it is string piecing or the like, I'll put a DVD on my laptop. If it's a bit more demanding, I tend to listen to the radio. Thanks for the chance!
Great book! I like the radio in the background.
I like sewing in peace and quiet, thanks for the chance to win this book full of scraps & colours !
Emily Cier is one of my quilting heroines with her bright clean designs and piecing innovation.
If I am piecing, I like classical music playing softly in the background. If I am quilting, I usually listen to a more vibrant jazz. If I am hand sewing on the final side of the binding, I play a season of some TV show on my laptop to break the monotony of this action.
Thanks for hosting the give-away.
Love to play music, mostly smooth jazz. Looks like a fun book, thanks!
If I'm engrossed in a project where I have to thing - do math! - I appreciate silence. But when I'm free-motion quilting, I love to listen to a book on my IPod. It's a great way to keep up with new books while accomplishing something. I highly recommend listening to "The Help," even if you've read the print version. The reader makes the characters come to life! Thanks for the chance to win your giveaway. It looks like a wonderful book.
If I'm doing something simple I listen to a book - I love being able to do that. But if it's complicated then everything is off and I need complete quiet. I don't even want to hear the refrigerator hum. :) blessings, marlene
Lol! I'm the same, though I do tend toward the later ... some music on in the background, or a good movie/tvondvd on the tv or computer going for background noise. I'm also lately listening to a lot of podcasts ... whether spiritual or motivational ... and I am also at the beginning of listening to an audio book on Job (biblical figure).
I like ti have the TV on. I record General Hospitals on DVR and watch them as I sew. The book sounds great!!! This seems to be the year of scrappy.
I have to have the TV on when i quilt. It keeps me company, makes me laugh (when I watch I Love Lucy), and always lets me know when it's going to snow so I can plan on a sew day!
thanks for the giveaway.
i have seen that book making it's way around blog-land and it looks cool....
i listen to pandora on my phone while i sew. usually coldplay radio. but every now and then, i flip over to the beastie boys station, and chuckle at the juxtaposition of listening to old school rap while making quilts.
Well most times I like the quiet of the birds outside or the wind blowing etc. But then I have a moment or two that I like to listen to music and it has to be upbeat. Like for me it would be the 70's because it just makes anything possible.......The book looks wonderful and since I just started the scrappy look it would be a great prize. Thanks so much, have a great day!
Wauh, this looks like a great book for scrapquilt lovers.
I prefer to sit quiet and sew.
Have a great weekend :-).
for the most part I sew in peace and quiet. thanks for a chance to win a fun book. loving your scrap- a- long. you have the prettiest scraps. Janita
I like to have a movie (that I have already seen) playing, since I only get to listen to it! The TV is close but not in my viewing area, while I am sewing--- thanks for offering the book! I hope I win!
Would love to win this terrific book. I prefer peace & quiet when I'm sewing though there's usually some noise in the house unless my husband's off somewhere. Thanks for the chance to win.
It pends on where I am @. Lately, I've been taking it to the hospital while I wait w/ my kids in the waiting room. We homeschool, so, I sit in the bay window soaking in the rays and take advantage of the bright light while the kids are working. Oh, I should mention, this is handsewing before binding.
This book is on my list....!! It looks great. I like sewing in either peace and quiet or I'll listen to something on pandora - an Alison Krauss station or a Wailin Jennys station.
The books look awesome! I like to sew with the TV on, but then I can easily get distracted. Thanks for the chance to win!
Oh, I've been looking at this book for a while now. It's awesome!
I'm a Pandora girl. When I am sewing, I have my Wailin' Jennys station playing in the background. Sometimes I even sing along. :)
I prefer peace and quiet. Maybe because I sew mostly during evenings, when everyone are sleeping.
I like to have my radio on when I am at my sewing- room.
Greetings from Norway
I must have peace and quiet or is it piece and quiet???
I need this book, the SCRAP REPUBLIC is where I live! I listen to music, at increased volume, while I stitch.
ALWAYS some kind of sound-nowadays it's the radio (woo-rock music!) because the only tv I was able to sew with was repeats of shows. Couldn't watch Doctor Who, etc because I'd never run the machine :)
I'd love to win this one! I love peace and quiet...probably because it's hard to come by in my house of 2 boys :) Having my own sewing room does help...if I'd ever find the time to be in there!
Wow, what vibrant projects! Love them. I love to sew in solitude and quiet. I have two very active and loud little boys, so when they're in bed and I finally have a few moments to spend in my sewing room, a little silence is soothing. Sometimes though, if my husband is running on the treadmill in the next room, a little music helps disguise the noise -- especially Christmas carols! I listen to them all year long.
when we moved into our new house I was so excited to have a craft room....but I never use it! Istill being the sewing machine to my main room so I can watch tv!
scrap quilts are my favorite and I prefer peace and quiet so I can concentrate. Otherwise, I tend to make many mistakes. Thank you for hosting this giveaway! Love your blog!
I'd love to win that book.
I prefer peace and quiet when I'm sewing but sometimes I turn the CD player on.
This looks like a fantastic book . I like to quilt in peace and quiet ,rarely have music playing. Thanks for the chance.
If my sewing project is an original design, I hear nothing but my muse's direction and all other sound is a disruption. When sewing something "other", and sewing for the first time, I listen to my Itunes "Easy Listening" playlist. If sewing on the down-low, definitely the television. It all depends on the composition and my mood.
I like peace and quiet when I am sewing but love to listen/watch a movie while I am cutting and trimming. Quite a mixed bag.
I normally do it in peace and quiet... I'm so concentrated on what I'm doing and get so immersed that I don't think I'd realize any noise in the background!
This book looks great, thanks for sharing it in this giveaway!
Great give away to inspire many new projects. Thank you for the chance. I like to sew listening to music-- especially movie sound tracks. But it also nice to sing along with the radio sometimes!
Peace is easy to work in however sometimes some classical music gives me a help to think more clearly too. grace(at)amnet(dot)net(dot)au
Wow I love that pattern- looks awesome!
Hmmm, mostly I like to sew with peace and quiet because with two under age 4 it is never quiet around here. Sometimes though, I put on my iPod and crank it up! Thanks for the chance to win. :)
Usually when I sew I have the radio on, listening to the news, or I'm listening to a podcast of "Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me", "The Diane Rehm Show" or "On Point".
I like to listen to quilting podcasts, books or the radio. Looks like a great book!
This looks a great book!
I like to have the radio on while I'm sewing!
I like to listen to my ipod while I sew. Thanks for the chance to win the book!
I like quiet music. My sewing room is in the back of the house, so i like to be able to keep an ear out for whatever else is going on!
Generally I'm happy with peace and quiet, but if I'm doing something like quilting or chain piecing I often listen to talking books on my iPod. At the moment I'm listening to Nicholas Nickleby
Scrap Republic would be the perfect guide to begin my quilting adventure.
Do you like to sew in the peace and quiet? nope - I usually put on the old movie channel when I sew to keep me company.
I love to have wonderful music playing in the background. Everything from Jazz to Classical & sometimes Andrea Boccelli & his wonderful tenor voice in time with the whirr of the sewing machine. What a wonderful part of my day!
I usually go for peace and quiet - but if not, you can bet on a BBC classic movie playing in the background. :)
I usually sew when it's fairly quiet, but I do like some music once in a while. Pandora is great! thanks for the chance!
While my husband is still asleep, I try to sew very quietly (he works 2nd shift). But, when he's at work, I usually have either the TV on or music. I like quiet in the morning, but if it's too quiet at night, my imagination runs a little too wild with those odd house sounds!
Oh WOW...I am looking forward to a win!!! But I love peace and quiet in my room while sewing...even with the radio on, it is on low but mostly I can think or just *go away* from it all with no noise but me.....
I usually sew with a movie on, a movie I've seen before so I know when I can ignore it and when I want to pay attention to it!
I listen to books on CD. It helps pass the time. Sometimes I just do the quiet thing though.
This book looks like it was made for me. I love COLOR and my quilts show it.
I always sew with the TV on. As a matter of fact, my TV is right in front of my sewing table.
I usually prefer the quiet, but sometimes I like to have some relaxing music blasting from my ipod: Celtic, folk, contemporary Christian would be my selections! Have a blessed day!
Would love to win a copy of this- looks wonderful!! I usually like the peace and quiet but will sometimes listen to alittle music. Thanks!
There are times when I really like quiet as quilting is my "me" time, but most of the time, I like the TV on. I don't really watch it, I jut like he background noise. I recently have been organizing my scraps and was surprised as to how much had accumulated!
I have the TV on whilst I'm sewing - usually something that doesn't need much "watching" and more listeninig :-)
The book looks great - right up my street!
I love color and this looks like a great book.
I usually sew in the silence of my mind which is a dangerous place!
peace and quiet :)
this book is on my wish list, thanks for the chance at it
I love scrap books this one looks perfect! I can quilt and sew in peace and quite but I normally like the tv or music going in the background. I might not even be watching the tv - but I like some sound going.
Hi! I like to work and puzzle my patches and scraps in peace and quiet. I love colours and that book looks wonderful!
Thank you for a great give away!
Peace, quiet, nothing to interrupt me. That is why I don't get much done!
This book looks to be so inspiring. I don't mind the peace and quiet, but prefer some easy piano music. Too much noise, can derail me! Thanks for the giveaway and great scrap quilt ideas! email@example.com
I like to have music playing in the background. If I turn the TV on, I end up watching it and not getting anything done. I haven't tried books on tape yet but I will. Thank you for the chance to win this great book. Take care and God bless, Cory
I always quilt with the noise of the television in the background. The racket helps me to pace myself. Warm days are best for quilting outside in my garage workshop.(I just love the warmth and sunshine) Of all the things that I have with quilting, I do not have a book of quilts, just magazines.
What a great book! Thanks for a chance to win!
I like peace and quiet sometimes while I'm in the sewing room but I've done a LOT of sewing listening to books on tape and cd's! I guess it depends on my mood and the amount of time I have...
I love the peace and quiet after everyone has gone to bed :)
I like to sew in peace and quiet, once all my kiddos are back in bed. I usually have the TV on, which might explain my lack of productivity!
I like the look of that book as I love scraps best of all!
I definitely work best with background noise but prefer audio books, plays on the radio to screaming children ;P !
Thank you for the chance to win this great looking book. I love to quilt in peace but I do enjoy a good movie while I stitch.
Love the book. I sew with music blaring and myself singing along. Maybe that's why the seam ripper is used so much! Thanks for the opportunity to win. You didn't say if this is open internationally, so I'm hoping it is!
I tend to sew in silence, but then when I'm machine quilting I crank up the tunes...strange I know, but it seems to work for me :o)
that book looks awesome! I usually have something going, often pandora (colbie callet is my current fav) sometimes the tv on HGTV or something else mindless!
what a wonderful pic, most time I love to sew totally calm and quiet, but its not always so quiet like I want with Amelie lol
I love to listen to Diana Crall as I sew, nothing too much that could take too much of my concentration!
Can't wait to have the book! I enjoy watching TV. I have my TV set up and watch TV shows that I don't have to concentrate on.
I need to have some noise! Usually the t.v.! Love the looks of this book!
That book looks great! I do love scraps and color! When I sew I ned background noise...usually the TV is on although I'm not following the program. Thanks for an awesome giveaway.
If I'm cutting/measuring/figuring out something I need to have total silence. But when I'm sewing, whether by machine or by hand, I like to watch movies or TV episodes on Netflix.
The book looks really fun!
I love the bright colors of this book. I like listening to Big Bang Theory while I am sewing, but peace and quiet is great when I need to concentrate!
Typically I enjoy sewing in quiet. With two little boys around all the time I rarely get it, but that's what I like!
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
I don't have a computer, cd player or tv in my sewing room (but I do have a window), so I generally don't have an option -- but music would be nice.
I love this book! I always have a DVD playing when I sew. Usually action adventure. My all time faves are the Jarrasic Park series.
I prefer piece and quiet..just the hum of my machine pumping out a new quilt! Great looking book..hope I can win.
CathyC in Alberta
I usually turn on my TV and hopfully there is an Andy Griffith show on and I have seen them all a million times, so all I have to do is listen and I know what is going on. There is always a happy ending on that show. Otherwise I like quiet,especially if I am reading a pattern.
I like to sew in peace and quiet. No TV or stereo. Quiet is my preference.
I enjoy the quiet when trying to figure sewing things out. When I am actually doing mindless sewing or quilting I like to listen to books.
I prefer the hum of the sewing machine (or in other words, peace and quiet). Thanks for the giveaway, the book looks marvelous!
Pick me! Pick me! I really would LOVE a copy of this book :) Sometimes I like to sew in peace and quiet, sometimes listening to music and sometimes having Food Network on TV. Thanks!!
Most of the time I sew in peace in quiet but I do have a CD player in my sewing room and sometimes listen to my CD's, usually Jack Johnson. In the summer I may turn on the TV in the next room and listen to the Chicago Cubs play baseball.
The book looks great. Thanks for a chance to win.
Awesome give-away. I like a little soft music in the background. Thank-you : )
I prefer music, but usually listen to audio books on mp3 these days. I've not bought any new music for a while and am bored with most of mine. Durring the thinking phase (reading instructions, etc.) I need quiet. Most every quilt I make is scrappy. I have made a few with specific fabrics chosen by the recipient and have a very hard time getting through those projects. Thanks for the chance to own this book :o)
Music always. Love the book.
Occasionally I like to sew with it quiet, but most of the time I have on country music radio. Love me some George Strait, Blake Shelton, Rascal Flats, Keith Urban.....
Looks like a fabulous book!
I usually have the radio on for background noise. But prefer an empty house so no one is bothering me and I can just sew. Thanks for the chance to win looks like a great book. KMA
This would be a perfect book for me. I love scraps and love to make really scrappy quilts. I have to have some type of noise when I quilt. It use to be the tv but lately I have the radio playing or my IPod playing. Thanks for the great giveaway.
Today with -41C wind chill and the landscape looking out into the prairies in western canada, I would love to see some colour!!
I enjoy music when working in my quilt room, if its too quiet I tend to sit down and look at things instead of working to complete my latest project.
I really like to have a little background noise! Thanks for the chance to win the wonderful book! I love color too...
Looks like a great book! I sew when is quiet and have not the 3 boys near to me!
Thanks for the chance to win.
Baci from Italy
Wow, the book looks great!
I like to have something going in the background when I'm sewing. Sometimes music; I bought a CD of French cafe tunes when I was in Paris and my husband also just bought me a Bangles CD so those are my new favourites. Sometimes I "watch" TV, but not when it's going to distract me. I've recently discovered Documentary Heaven - it's awesome.
I'd like to sew in peace ... with silence but my kiddos ... don't think the same ... so I sew with "Winnie the Pooh" or "Mickey Mouse" ... ALWAYS!!!!
Thanks for the chance to win this wonderful book ^__^
I am usually sewing without tv or radio, but sometimes I am chatting via skype with friends or if it is a boring sew-task I am taking breaks from it and browse the internet/blogland. If I am sewing down the binding I like to talk to friends via skype or listen to music.
Thanks for the chance to win. That book looks really great.
Oh my email is: thebanana (at) web (dot) de
I am a sew in peace type person myself.
Crank it up! I think the music helps me concentrate and keeps my creative juices flowing.
WOW - 120 replies already! Anyway sometimes I like to sew in peace and quiet but there are times when I like to play cd's (I am so old fashioned - bet most people have their iPods running). TV distracts me too much but you know I never thought about CD books...might give that a go! Thanks for the idea!
I too thought that is a good scrap book. Just hadn't purchased it yet,if I'm lucky maybe I can win this one. Now most of the time I have on an audio book or NPR. But I do on occasion quiet time.
I vary between quiet and TV.
I have tried books on cd, music but I LOVE the peace and quiet. It's part of the appeal of being in my sewing room.
Love from North Carolina
I like quiet on my terms. Love to sew to dreamgirls, the movie. Kind of like your happy feet only motown. ;)
I've been eyeing that book!!
What a fun book!
I like to sew with music in the background (Pandora or CDs), or an audiobook, or public radio, and lastly TV. My TV is behind me, so I either have to set up my "rear view" mirror or keep turning around to see what's going on.
I piece to TV but I quilt to audiobooks. The rhythm of the spoken word seems to help me set a nice quilting rhythm also. This books looks a delicious as you describe.
I almost always have something playing, either music or podcasts.
Books on CD when I get past the layout and planing stage.... I can work for hours with a book in the background... Thats also how I prefer any long distance drive and in this part of the country its a 100 mile round trip to pick up the batting!!!
I like quiet when I sew, but sometimes if it's mindless sewing I will listen to an audio book. I really need to work on my scraps. Thank you for all the wonderful ideas posted so far.
I like the peace and quiet - I don't get too much of that the rest of the time!!
All quiet - though sometimes with the sounds of my sweet little baby on his playmat by my feet :)
What a fun book!
I sew with silence or music--just depends on my mood. I love me some Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin when I quilt. :)
I have a TV in my studio and I always have it on... sewing used to be my multi-tasking excuse to watch one life to live :)
Although I sometimes like to sew in the peace and quiet, I usually have something on in the background...usually talk radio.
Thanks for the chance at your giveaway! Like when I read, I like to have peace and quiet when I sew except around the holidays, then I will put on the Christmas music to give me inspiration.
peace and quiet, it means the kids are napping!
I like to sew with a little background noise. Sometimes it is the TV, sometimes it is a book on my IPod. But I like the noise of my sewing buddies best, when we get together and sew.
It really depends on my mood. If I need to really concentrate, I will go with quiet but for repetative or boring sewing, I use music or a recorded book to distract me. What I won't ever have in my studio is a tv.
The book looks lovely...and it would be great to have more projects to use up all those scraps.
As for noise, it depends on the day really, as sometimes I will pull out my mp3 player for a bit of background noise... but mostly I just like it quiet, as the rest of my life is fairly hectic its nice to enjoy a bit of peace and silence as I relax and craft.
What an awesome giveaway! I tend to sew with the TV on. I listen to my favorite soap opera.
There is always something playing in the background. It used to be Law and Order, now it is usually a Bravo channel show. Sadly I've become hooked on some of the real housewives shows.
Every once in a while I will bring a radio in, otherwise it's quiet. Might always listen to the radio if I didn't have to bring one into my sewing room.
I love to sew in the peace and quiet of my sewing room. Just the sounds of my sewing machine and steam iron. And if there is rain on the roof....even better. The book looks wonderful!
Absolutely love listening to my iTunes library...or DVD's such as John Adams or Downton Abbey...or finding a classic black & white on TMC or one of the music channels...oh yes, I love background. Life is good in the sewing room when working with 30 years of scraps!
I like to have some background noise.
Great book!
I usually have the TV on, except in Nov. & Dec. I love Christmas music, so when it get close to the holidays I play Christmas CD's.
Great book!
I usually have the TV on, except in Nov. & Dec. I love Christmas music, so when it get close to the holidays I play Christmas CD's.
I always have the tv going. Usually it's an old movie that I can recite the lines for, so I don't have to pay attention to the tv. Looks like a really good book.
I listen to talk radio. Quiet makes me uncomfortable. Love your blog!
i need to use up my scraps and this book looks exciting. i like listening to music on my computer while i quilt.
Mostly peace and quiet, but when I have a lot of pressing to do I love Pandora or my ipod. Thanks for a chance at this fabulous book!
This book looks great. I would love it if it was nice and quiet but with two small children it is normally with lots of noise.
I sew in silence mostly. I tried books on CD, but the sewing machine drowns out the sound too much. On occasion I'll put the country music station on.
i just sew whenever. usually with tv on. no music thought. linda gerig
I nearly always have some kind of music on.
It relaxes me even more.
I need to be (sort of) mellow when something goes wrong.
And hé, this is my real life, something always happens!
Would love this book! If I'm quilting I like music but if I'm sewing them I like tv. Thanks!
Thank you for doing a giveaway. I like to have music or the tv in the background when I am sewing.
When I'm at home I like peace and quiet, 'cause I sew with several groups each month and we're loud, loud, loud, so quiet for me at home. Thanks for the chance to win!!
Hi, I like to have a look at my favorite soap operas on TV while I'm sewing.... But when it's difficult and I must think what to do next: silence is neccessary!!!
If I am free motion quilting or a new pattern which requires concentration, then I need quiet. Other than that, I just need more light as I've gotten older. I have lots of scraps, so this book would be a joy.
"Volume" does look good. Turns it up to 11 just as I do. I crank Pandora loud some days and some days I have on the METV channel with the TV shows I grew up with playing - Perry Mason, Cannon, Hawaii 5-0, etc.
Wow!! This book looks amazing! What a wonderful giveaway!
I tend to like to sew in the quiet also. Though that may change once I get speakers for my ipod! Sometimes I have the tv on in the background, but just for sound. Most often though, it is quiet...with a kitty curled up next to me. (I think the machine soothes her.)
fun book - I am recently widowed and quiet weighs heavily so I have my ipod blasting away - even find myself singing along with the mamas and papas. Have considered books on tape but still enjoy reading the real things so far.
I'm a peace and quiet kind of gal. But some days, I like to have the classical station on the radio playing softly. What a wonderful book. Thanks for the colourful giveaway.
This book looks delicious. There are days when I love the peace and quiet and days when I want background noise. I find that I watch the clock more when I have no noise. My favorite background noise is the grandkids either playing on the floor with their sewing kit or playing on one of the machines making "presents' for their mom. Usually just a scrap piece of fabric with decorative stitches but it's the though that counts. AND I figure I should train them early to use up those scraps.
I have to have some noise in the background, and usually it is the TV and I don't care what is on, the silence drives me a little nuts, I need a bit of noise!
It depends my mood - sometimes while I'm cutting out everything I watch something on Hulu, but when I'm sewing I mostly like it quiet (because silence makes me happy when the kiddos are sleeping).
Looks like a great book. I like to listen to books while sewing.
(no email@example.com)
I enjoy the peace of my sewing room to cut out and machine sew with a classical music radio station ClassicFM playing in the background. I hand quilt all of my quilts, often again with music playing or whilst watching TV with my husband.
And I LOVE Scrap quilts! This book is fabulous.
Linda on email@example.com
( Please use this email rather than Google, thanks )
What beautiful Colors!!!
For the most part sewing for me is relaxing so I prefer quiet. But there are those days when I do enjoy me some Pandora!!!
Thank you for the Scrap Republic book review and the giveaway. Looks like a fantastic book. Love the color. I usually like to have a good mystery or movie going in the background. I also enjoy interesting history programs.
I like peace and quiet when I am at the sewing machine. Usually I have soft music playing in the background for a CD
I tend to watch RIO, my two year old loves the movie! She is always close by playing with Lego's or my scraps.
Peace and quiet is good, but I also enjoy a netflix movie playing in the background.
I like to have something on either my music or the TV.
I love this book and sure could use. That is exactly what I have been doing for several days, getting my scraps in order. Working on a pinwheel quilt top now. Oh vay!!!
I would LOVE a copy of this book since color is very important to me. Whenever I sew I always watch and listen to reruns of "I Love Lucy"!! I never tire of watching her and it keeps me laughing while sewing. What more can you ask for?
I love Scrappy quilts, so this would be the best prize for me!! I like to have background noise going while I cratf, but I would rather have it be something that I have seen before. I can follow along without watching!
What a great book! I mostly sew with some sort of background noise, usually the TV on, but don't actually catch very much.
I mostly sew with the tv on in the background, I catch up with a lot of things I've saved on sky+ and sometimes I play music :)
The book looks great, thanks for the chance to win one :)
Peace and quiet? What's that? As a mother of 5 (I homeschool too) that doesn't happen too often. My "sewing music" is usually the fun noises kids make.
Like you, I sometimes like quiet. Other times I like to have the T. V. tuned to the biography channel. As long as I'm sewing I'm happy. ;->
I always sew with the tv on.
I enjoy sewing in peace and quiet. Thank you for a great giveaway. The book looks very interesting and I really like the volume quilt too.
I definitely prefer peace and quiet, but sometimes I like to listen to Christian music or the bible on iTunes...
Love the book have been eyeballing this one for a while now :)
That book looks fabulous!
I mostly like to sew in peace and quiet. Maybe because I have 5 kids making a lot of noise all the time. When they are in bed I bask in the quiet. :-)
I always have my dvd's going.....usually it's Murder She Wrote or Columbo.....I've seen them all thousand times, and still love them. Sometimes I'll put on one of my Jane Austen movies, but they tend to suck me in more, and I end up watching instead of stitching! lol
I'm in love too, the book looks stunning!!!!!. When I'm sewing I always have my stereo on..., it's 80's music, I couldn't live without it, lol
I need to be jammin' while I'm sewing. The hubs thinks it's hilarious when he walks in my sewing room and I'm bee-boppin' while ironing or cutting fabric. If he only knew what happened when he wasn't home. :) If I'm having a sewing marathon, I like to listen to a book on CD. This helps me keep up with my reading list while being productive. That, my friends, is multi-tasking! The photography alone makes my want to own this book. Gorgeous color!
I like to sew with it quiet...not silent, though. My favorite is to hear the kids in the backyard playing while I sew.
I like it to be quiet. Since I'm relatively new to sewing, I need to concentrate and read and then re-read the directions!
Love scrap quilts! I defnitely sew with noise...my favorite DVD is Les Mis 25th reunion concert. 3 hours of glorious sewing and singing.
Thanks for the chance.
walkingmissmolly at gmail.com
Most of the time I prefer to sew in peace and quiet. However, when I'm in need of some motivation putting on a movie really helps to keep me focused and passes the time!
I like to sew/quilt in peace and quiet, my kids provide background noise the rest of the time :)
THANKS for the chance at winning this book!
I like peace and quiet, if my hockey team is playing I will turn on the radio and listen to the play by play. Thanks for such a great giveaway.
It really depends on my mood and if I am alone. Most of the time I like a movie or something running in the background...something that I've seen a million times.
If I am with friends...a little music and a lot of chatter!!
I love color and this book looks so cool. I am getting more and more scraps and would love to use them up. I like to sew with noise in the background. Usually I have a movie or TV show playing while I sew. I can't do quiet not having raised 4 children!
eu gosto de paz e tranquilidade.nem sempre se consegue não é?

The famous coastline of Hossegor-Seignosse has been staging top level surf events in summer since the 1980's and the once sleepy-resort town has now become known throughout the surf world for its warm summer water, powerful surf, laid back lifestyle, pristine natural surroundings, and of course, infamous nightlife.
The idea of staging an ASP 6-Star event for the best female surfers in the world, in Europe's surfing capital, came to fruition in 2010 when the inaugural SWATCH GIRLS PRO was staged at the beach of Les Bourdaines (Seignosse), crowning Stephanie Gilmore as event champion.
In 2014, the 5th edition of the SWATCH GIRLS PRO FRANCE is more hotly-anticipated than ever, and promises the biggest crowds to date being held at the height of the summer holidays: August 20-24. While the action in the water promises to reach all new levels, the festivities consisting of live music, DJ's and parties have also established the event as the must-see surfing festival of the year.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
DISCUSSION - Russian parliamentary elections...
Released on 2012-10-11 16:00 GMT

Sunday is Russia's parliamentary elections.
I know we laugh when discussing elections in Russia, but there are a few
interesting things...
Thus far it looks like the outcome will be:
United Russia - 53%
Communists - 20%
Liberal Democrats - 12%
Just Russia - 9 %
**the remaining 6% will be for parties that don't meet the threshold, so
will get folded into the parties above.
United Russia is actually slumping down from 61% control to 53%...
sparking many to criticize the party's popularity.
But in actuality, there is no anti-Kremlin party getting into Duma. The
Commies and LibDems are both crazy nationalist & pro-Kremlin. The Commies
are a relic of the Soviet Union, but tend to work with Putin well. The
LibDems are run by uber-hawk Zhirinovsky, that wants Putin to be more
nationalist. Just Russia is considered the most "liberal" though its
president (Mironov) has been openly stating that his party follow's
Putin's path for Russia.
So where there are many Russian political parties, they all are loyal to
Putin - even if they don't like each other. This was Putin's plan all
along. Remember what I was saying in the weekly a few months ago about
Putin wanting to have managed democracy. Putin wants to make Russia look
democratic - which is a good political show domestically, as well as is
meant to woo investors into Russia.
So the media may balk at United Russia's show, but looking at the whole
picture is key. The parliamentary elections are meant to be part of
Putin's managed democracy, keeping all parties loyal to Putin, while
Russia pretending to be more democratic.

Very Good Cut:
A Very Good Cut diamond has very strict requirements for this category, representing diamonds in the top 15% based on cut quality though for a price much less than Ideal Cut.
G Color:
G Color Diamonds are known as either 'near colorless' or 'rare white'. The G diamond is most popular for anniversary rings and three-stone diamond rings. The fluorescence of the G diamond ensures its brilliance under light and value in the heart.
SI1 Clarity:
Small Inclusions 1. The SI1 diamonds have a few small flaws, visible only using a x10 magnification by experienced gemologists. These flaws are almost imperceptible to the naked eye making them an increasingly popular choice for diamond engagement rings.

...Of the dozens of on-line diamond jewelry web-sites I perused, Diamonds-USA had by far the best selection of diamonds and ring settings, and the best prices.

Great quality of a rug. Doesn't shed bad like some I've had. The blue/cream was actually blue and gray. It goes well so it OK.

RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This was a case of finding a rug that I didn't know I needed! I was actually helping my sister look for a new rug when I came across the Surya Athena Leopard rug and I immediately was inspired to redo my entire bedroom around it. I ordered the rug in size 6x9 from Rugsusa.com because they had the best price I could find. It took a little over a week for me to receive the rug and it was well packaged. I was nervous about buying such a large piece online since I've purchased things in the past that ended up looking a lot different in person, but not so with this rug! It's a light neutral tan with dark brown spots. The spots are smaller along the edges and get slightly larger toward the middle. The color remains consistent throughout (no gradient). It looks fabulous under my Queen sized bed, and makes my entire bedroom look so glamorous! I love this rug!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Surya, a mark of quality and an expert source of ideas for making your home come alive with true timeless beauty. Though styles have come and gone, beneath them all is the fundamental principal that Surya area rugs are created to touch our senses. From concept through production, a member of the Surya family is there making sure that the highest standards are being met.

What do distance learning professionals need to know about accessibility?
The training and resource needs of distance learning professionals regarding how to make courses welcoming and accessible to students with disabilities depends on their respective roles. Key stakeholder groups include program administrators, course designers, instructors, and evaluators. Training for these individuals should be tailored to their unique needs and may include content related to access challenges for people with disabilities, legal requirements, accessibility guidelines/standards, design techniques, and resources. Training should be offered in a variety of formats that may include printed materials, web resources, and on-site presentations. It should support varying levels of detail and acknowledge learning as an ongoing process.
For the results of three research studies that shed light on accessibility training for distance learning personnel, consult the article Accessibility Training for Distance Learning Professionals.

Software-as-a-Service has become a popular software model among enterprises, allowing them to share business applications across multiple platforms and improve scalability.
According to a Forbes report, SaaS is significantly expanding as an IT solution for small and medium-sized businesses, and research firm Gartner recently said the SaaS model will reach mainstream status in the next two to five years.
SaaS services can provide SMBs with powerful and flexible applications that were traditionally reserved for larger companies, the report said. Additionally, SMBs no longer have to invest significant, long-term funds in applications and technology, as the cloud enables them to afford scalable software without worrying about maintaining infrastructure to support the applications.
The report said businesses considering SaaS should examine several aspects of each prospective application, including how easily the software can be implemented, what analytics capabilities the service has and how much support the SaaS provider will deliver.
According to a recent Global Industry Analysts report, the global SaaS market will total $26.5 billion by 2015. A previous Gartner study said the SaaS market reached $12.1 billion last year, a 20.7 percent increase from 2010.

[important]I am absolutely astounded by the love shown here today and hope to repay you all through the work I do. I want to thank everyone who helped either by donating or by simply reading the blog and passing it on. Thank you.
I would also like a special mention to Justin and Jason (JT) who helped me create a Ubuntu boot up Pen Drive (Considering Technology isn't much of my forte) allowing me to keep updating the blog until the laptop arrives. I would also like to thank the tiny Internet Cafe who basically gave up a massive amount of their bandwith to fix up a linux USB for me. Any money donated from now on will go to charity. [/important]
My laptop died last night, it died in ignominy.
It's an old HP Pavillion, nothing new certainly and it's pretty old (verging on its 7th year which I hear is like 300 years old in terms of laptop age) but this is where the problems start. There are effectively no parts that can fix it. The basic issue is that the hard drive is "super fucked" and I am currently facing the Sam Vimes theory of Economic Disparity. Trying to fix the laptop will cost me more money than the laptop is worth and at the moment I cannot afford to fix it anyways because the place that fixes things of this nature is "miles and miles away". I know it's a stop-gap. I knew I was on borrowed time, I just didn't expect the laptop to crash in the middle of work.
My work is constantly saved to an external hard drive (I keep patient files! I need serious back ups). So I just have to redo a couple of hours of it. Not a big issue…
What I have lost are the few shows I have that I watch in my downtime, the ability to play my DVDs and the few games that distract me from work. What I lost are my photographs and the few art pieces that I have done. I have also lost my primary method of writing which complicates matters. You see, the income I was earning from the blog was being ploughed into (ironically) a new laptop. I had hoped that my Laptop would make it another year at least before I had to change it. I was wrong. The laptop is dead.
I won't lie. I can (probably) manage without a laptop. But it's not the kind of managing people back home consider as acceptable. It makes my education harder but I can just rely on physical media (AKA books) for that. I can travel (it's around 30 minutes to get to this place but it costs money to sit here) to an Internet Cafe to use the net and can check my emails and even fire off a short one from my phone. I can even update the blog like that but it does mean that posting any serious articles is straight up out. Any article above a certain size simply cannot be done
I have been effectively hamstrung as a blogger. The best I can do is work on articles piecemeal over 2 or 3 days to get them out by beg/borrowing/stealing internet on PCs when I can. It's not "ideal" but it is doable.
So I am asking for help. I need a new laptop. I need to basically raise 600 pounds for a half decent laptop that I can use for everything from work to blogging, to watching YouTube videos of cats and defeating the zerg. I have looked through laptops and the problem seems to be that everything that is relatively future proof at least for the next 3 years is in the 600 to 800 pound range. And even custom building a laptop (A cheaper option than many standard purchase laptops because for the same price you often get a better spec) shares the same problem where something relatively future resistant and capable of medical usage is around 700 pounds.
I have 200 pounds roughly from the blog income and from my savings towards a laptop. I require 600 pounds to make the grade for a laptop that does the job and a bit more. I am basically at 25%…
And what makes me worry was the treatment Greta Christina got for using such charity on something as important as shoes and feel odd to ask for the same for something as silly as a laptop. So I am asking for help. Help that I sorely need and it feels awkward asking because of pride and because normally I am the one being asked. So please help out. In any small way that you can. If we hit the target of 600 pounds, I will pledge any excess to a charity that is very close to my heart.
The Spastic Society of Tamil Nadu saved my family, my Uncle was injured severe in a car accident. He is partially paralysed when a truck hit his tiny car. He was a geologist and even helped find oil for a living before his accident. He spent 6 months paralysed in a bed on the edge of death, he then picked himself up. He taught himself to write with his other hand, he taught himself to speak again, to feed himself, to dress himself up.
There were no physiotherapists and no such luxuries as leg braces. My uncle refused a wheel chair, he instead rode a bicycle. A two wheeled bicycle. He is the most determined and bloody minded person I know off. And he works for the Spastic Society of India, a charity that is dedicated to a very Indian response to disability. It's attitude can be described as "fuck all the naysayers you guys can do whatever you feel like. We shall train you.". It's given disabled people who often were thrown out onto the streets to beg a second lease of life. Any excess above the laptop mark will go to this charity. In addition I have heard what Justin Griffith does with his blog income and I agree that once I start earning a salary as a doctor I will do the same as him. The money generated by the blog and by donations will go to a medical charity or into a FTB disaster relief piggy bank to be broke open to throw money at natural disaster relief on behalf of atheists as a whole.
The donation link for the laptop is below.
In exchange for that?
A few people have wanted to know where I got the graphics for my blog. Honestly? They are my work. You may have seen some of them before as I was one of the contestants on Greta's cover design contest (I actually have her book which probably cost her a fair bit to send).
So I will relinquish all rights to the cover graphics, since quite a few people have wanted to use it for various memes or if you want to simply want to cover up the blog title and use it a s a desktop wallpaper or whatever. It's free for use. In addition any other graphics I produce from from now on will be provided on a full commons license for usage by the community as a whole.
The High Res Donation Link Graphic
You are free to borrow this for nefarious porpoises
[error]Update – Jason and Justin have been helping me try and restore some function to my laptop by booting Linux from a pen drive. It means I can possibly have basic Internet to keep the blog ticking over. To everyone who donated I wish to thank you for everything you have done. I just finished making the pen drive with the help of the lovely people who own a Internet Cafe and am on my way home to see if it works.[/error]
