anything could happenPosted by hana in Music
my and auni's current jam. we be howlin' to this song when we hear it. (i wasn't even aware she knows this song, huh.)
some years back, i had a formspring. (remember those? crazy online questionnaires i obligingly replied to?)
this was one of the questions:
my answer then:
so that must have been in 2010, if my calculations are correct.
and yes, that number 7 does seem to recur significantly with us.
ok, backtrack a little: a week or so ago, nina asked me over lunch: "how did you and abang izad meet?" i told her it's SUCH a boring story, and managed to avoid telling it altogether. actually, i could've sworn i've already covered this in our blogs somewhere, but that'll take a whole lot of virtual digging seeing as our archives go all the way back to 2003. (HEY WHADDAYA KNOW, that's 10 years since we started blogging together!) so i thought i'd just keep it on record here once and for all.
oh, and also since this is the year of the snake, and we were both born in the year of the snake – in '77, no less (see? 7s!) – plus, this year marks our 10th wedding anniversary, AND it was valentine's day yesterday (ok that last one was just random), what better time to reminisce than now.
so, flashback.
on one fateful day during the hari raya period, back in 1992 (we were 15, in sec 3 – me from TKG, he from GES), we were travelling on the MRT. he was with his group of school friends, 'jalan raya', while i was with my group of school friends, also 'jalan raya'. i was vaguely aware there was a group of boys in the train with us, seeing their reflection on the MRT window. i really don't know what happened, but apparently one of the boys knew one of the girls in my group from ML1 class (that's the elite malay language class held separately from us ML2 kids), and he got my number for izad. (ok, this part he'll have to clarify with you, because he CLAIMS he was actually asking about another girl but got me instead. LOL. too bad, eh.)
so, after some successful communication (back then NO INTERNET ok, boys have to call up my home phone and get past my very fierce dad), we agreed to meet for a movie and to exchange CDs (back then NO iTUNES ok, we had to buy actual CDs which cost like $25 an album). i couldn't remember the movie AT ALL (he insists it was Buffy The Vampire Slayer). i think his CD was george michael's Listen Without Prejudice (which should be about right since it was released around then). we didn't have much to talk about. i remember awkward silences in the MRT. oh and he had this floppy hairstyle. much later on, he told me that his friend saw us together and asked if i was his sister, which probably made him embarrassed. which was just as well because i thought he was a bore. so, well, we didn't go out again. NOT FATED YET, you know.
now, let's take a break here from my storytelling with a song by taylor swift, called 15. oh taylor, where were you when we were 15 and could use with a song like this? (oh… you were 3.)
ok, fast forward.
7 years later, we were 22. i was finishing (finished?) with my uni days, he was finishing his NS days. i had this… website back then, under Pacnet, using a handle i now cringe at: u2girl. man, i wish i had a screenshot of that site, html and all. so i had people emailing me once in a while, usually U2 fans. one of those who emailed me claimed to have gone out with me, and after a few exchanges over a period of time (yes, with cryptic radiohead lyrics in the subject), he asked me out. i, erm, avoided saying yes as long as i could. why? because i remembered our boring date from long ago! though i liked our silly emails.
but eventually, i relented (well, i *was* curious). i was teaching a Mendaki class that saturday, and we met after at bugis. we had lunch at this place called amiran's
ok, let's take another break with another taylor swift song, called 22. (she's keeping track of my life story, i'm sure of it.)
fast forward 7 years later and voila, 29 with one kid – gee, who'd have thought?
(right, no break here, guys – taylor hasn't come up with a song called 29. give her a few more years.)
and now, cut to the present time: we have reached yet another cycle of 7 years.
10 years married! whuuuut!
needless to say, this story still continues. who knows what other milestones we'll reach 7 years down the road…
ok not to say that i'm a sop or this has anything to do with the above story, but here's one last taylor swift song, ONLY because i'm a huge fan of high school romance/dramas and the ending to this video always brings a tear to my eye – it's just soooo sweet and makes me sigh with a wistful "awww". (no i am NOT a sop, dammit!).
disclaimer: this is only my side of the story – he may have quite a different one. and i'll never know for sure what went on in his mind when he started emailing me after all those… 7 years.
today's earworm. makes me want to run away with a band of folksy musicians and live a gypsy life… or something.
have a great weekend, everyone!

i need (tear)duct tapePosted by hana in Books, Movies, Music, Ramblings, tags: bookdepository
if getting my tearducts to work overtime was one of my new year's resolution, i'd say i'm doing pretty well so far.
ever since the new year:
1) i teared up when a character died in the movie, Les Miserables. (my behind wanted to cry too at the length of the show.)
seriously. i could be having some existential meltdown. or i could be pms-ing. the truth is, i get… emotionally invested in fictitious characters more easily than in reality.
it's quite ridiculous, really. i'm perfectly capable of distancing myself from sad or upsetting situations in real life, but get all worked up when something happens not in direct relation to me. i suppose it's a defense mechanism or something.
anyway, i have more to gush about downton abbey; i'm working on the post. meanwhile, it's the second day of the year and the first day of school for many little children here. no, i did not get teary at all. i was more than happy to shoo them out of the house after a month and a half of school break.
see? they were also happy. so deliriously happy, at 6.50 in the morning.
ok, speaking of happy kids, i did tear up again today – one last time, i promise – but this time not because anyone died. these kids are very much alive and real, and they're like TOTES ADORBS (i'm sure everybody's seen their original video singing superbass and their appearance on ellen), and there isn't a reason to tear up at all watching them, really, but i don't know, their innocent squeals of pure, unadulterated delight and wonderment at everything that's happening to them, and knowing that their wishes came true, beyond their wildest girly imaginations – it made me all fuzzy.
(ok, now i'm quite sure i'm pms-ing. crazy hormones…)
(the fact that they're british makes them even more supercute. then again, i'm a biased anglophile. did i mention downton abbey already? OMG, LOVE.)

"don't want your picture on my cellphone, i want you here with me"Posted by hana in Music, Video
tim burton + winona ryder + the killers = a kinda 'lars and the real girl' music video, except creepier.
this one's for the husband, who (i think) still has a crush on (a seemingly ageless) winona, and for every other girl who's liking the tanned, clean-cut, fit-looking, TOTES GORGEOUS BRANDON FLOWERS OMG.

five likes, five likes!Posted by izadd in Music
i just have to put this up! hilarious parody of nickelback's photograph song, for the instagram generation :)
there's something undeniably special and absolutely magical about the music of sigur ros.
most of us may not understand the songs, like, at all (some are in icelandic, some in gibberish or 'hopelandic'), but that's the beauty of it – great music transcends language, and connects you at an emotional (or to some, spiritual) level.
sigur ros' music, coupled with Jonsi's ethereal voice, make your heart ache and fill you with inexplicable yearning and longingness, and with every rising crescendo or falsetto, a bursting hopefulness.
and that's why, by the second song in their set, i had goosebumps and was all choked up – such was the overwhelming effect of the sigur ros experience, live. and from the reaction of the crowd post-concert, i knew i wasn't the only one: goosebumps and tears seemed to be the order of the day.
the moment the music stopped, the sky turned orange and finally released its pent-up tears, and as the band came back for an encore, the rain beat down increasingly insistently, seemingly spurred by the swelling sonic-gasm on-stage, as if nature and musicians were in tune.
we must've been a sight to behold, a drenched and delirious audience, tangled up under umbrellas, ponchos, plastic sheets and plastered hair, cheering and whooping as the band bowed and applauded and thanked us for coming.
but oh no, thank YOU! for bestowing upon us such amazing music that makes us feel. for an unforgettable evening. and for braving your way to this part of the world, with our crazy humidity and wonky weather. (it may have rained but it's no iceland.)

"hey i just met you, and this is crazy…"Posted by hana in Antics, Aunispeak, Food, Home, Music, Video, tags: auni, baking
thanks to this highly infectious tune by carly rae jepsen, we can't seem to stop singing and humming it aloud and in our heads. gah, total earworm! see, even Cookie Monster couldn't help himself.
and thanks to the kids' repeat viewings of Cookie Monster gobbling up snickerdoodles with so much relish, it was inevitable that i too would want a big, round chocolate chip cookie to gobble down myself. and share them, maybe. (so susceptible to suggestions from cute blue muppets, i am.)
i'm going to need more practice with cookies, i seem to churn out an assortment of sizes, thickness and textures in one batch alone, so inconsistent wth. :p but heck, i had at least one appreciative taster – the girl with the sweet tooth, who said she likes it and praised mummy for her attempt. (i've given up getting any from my own mother, who returned my last baked goods along with a series of critiques. sad!)
aaaanyway, it is only appropriate to end this with yet another cover of that darned-infectious song. here's a G-rated version, best enjoyed with a warm cookie and a glass of milk. erm, enjoy! (sorry girls, no hot guy in ripped jeans and skin showing.)
ps: i did share me cookies, with our next door neighbours. maybe they even shared them with their pet dog and cats ha ha.

"make me a day, make me whole again"Posted by hana in Food, Home, Music, tags: baking, tori amos
so what does hana do every day, now that she's unpaid?
well, some mornings, after kissing the girl goodbye at school, she heads to east coast to sweat in a hatha class, and on days like today, she waits the rain out at a nearby joint with a book and a bite, before she heads to fetch the boy from school.
pockets of quiet time, contemplative solitude, no expectations – what i am cherishing most of my precious, unpaid days.
OMG i made bread.
i'd fancied owning a breadmaking machine ever since a colleague brought her freshly-baked homemade breads in all their glorious smells and tastes, but it was not an investment we were willing to make, at least not yet.
but with all the no-knead recipes out there, there was still hope for domestic plebeians like me. (plus, surely bakers of yore used their bare hands instead of machines to make bread then, right?)
ok so i didn't make an actual loaf, it was a simple pizza dough recipe, although i was sure i bungled it up when i tried to halve the ingredients (damn my failwhale maths), so me and the dough, together we were this sticky mess of exasperation.
inspired by the cinnamon rolls, i thought i could do pizza rolls instead of the normal flat bread. it didn't turn out perfectly swirly the way i wanted it to, but the bread tasted surprisingly decent, crispy outside and soft inside, and made for a hearty meal, but more importantly, OMG I made bread!
ps: had this in my head the whole day. <3

maybe i'll regret missing this gig…
but the husband says he wants to see a female-fronted band for once, and that the esplanade will be more "comfortable" for me than fort canning (so considerate he is). plus, he's paying... :D

Motions (a video simulation of a web book)
February 9, 2014 - Uncategorized
Motions takes human trafficking and contemporary slavery as its focus. Human trafficking is an accelerating form of crime and is a world-wide problem. It is one of the darker outcomes of globalization, the breakdown of the nation-state, and increasing ease of travel.
Static and moving, variable and sequential, the piece presents programmed text, image and music fragments to evoke the subjective experience of enslavement in motion. No single 'page' is ever the same, but the work moves forward with a linear progression.

UK retailer Play.com is now offering fully unlocked iPhones that will work on any UK network, but it all comes at a premium price.
The site is currently offering the 8GB iPhone 3G for £550 and the 16GB for £600. That would equal about $801 and $874 according to the current exchange rates, which is a far cry from AT&T's no-commitment phones that cost $599 and $699 respectively, but those are not unlocked from AT&T's network.
Play.com claims that they are able to make the iPhone available unlocked and SIM-free due to, "EU legislation ensuring the sale of sim free mobile phones."
The site currently estimates the phones will ship in 4-5 days. As an added bonus, shipping is free, but that is probably a minor concern to folks willing to fork over that much for an unlocked iPhone in the first place.

Nature's Rules of the Roads
I won't bore you with tales of how long I've been riding or how far I've ridden. Suffice it to say I've had 30 bikes over the years. I bought my first scooter a year ago (400 Majesty) and have had a blast on it. I ride it more than my "real" bike. That's a lot since I commute daily year round on a bike. I also ride 180 miles (each way) to Atlanta weekly. The Majesty has plenty of scoot to handle Atl rush hr traffic and tops out at a GPS true 105 with my 300lbs on it. It's plenty of bike for anyone's commute.
I ride by nature's rules of the road - If it's going to hurt me more than them if we collide, they've got the right of way. It's worked well for me so far.

The Infographic illustrates that the rapid digitalization of the U.S. electric grid has created a lucrative job market for both current energy industry professionals and university students. The future workforce (current university students) will be especially impacted by the smart grid, as utilities and universities across the U.S. must educate a new generation of energy leaders from diverse backgrounds in computer engineering, computer science, and engineering-focused IT.

Customer Reviews of Iomega eGo 34836 1 TB - External - Hard Drive USB - Jet Black
Storage giant1/19/2011
This one has a feature that is a must for external drives-- an on/off power switch. I switch it off when I don't want it to run all the time. This one is also the quietest drives I've also used. All noises with this one are very subtle. The drive seems reliable. I am quite happy with my selection and buy.
A great buy1/10/2011
This is one of the best and the quietest drives I have used. Storing and backing up data is very simple in this. Installation and initializing the drive did not take too long for me. I use it with both Windows running PC and Mac laptop and never noticed any problem. There is almost no noise that you wouldn't even know that it is running. Overall, it is a great product with ease of use and plenty of space.
Love it for flawless dependable archiving12/17/2010
What I liked about eGo 34836 is its dependability. For me, I keep buying a lot of hard drives because there is so much stuffs to be kept safe and archived. One of the best hard drives that I depend for archiving is this 34836 smartie.
Ext drive 34836 exceeds expectations11/18/2010
I bought it to serve two basic purposes: store large files and still have place for more, then for data sharing across network. It performs these, noiselessly. And it is small and easily fits into any small work area.

Sony mulls launch of PlayStation Vita TV in US and Europe
Sony is thinking of expanding the reach of the new console based on strong consumer response, a company executive tells Engadget.
Sony's new PS Vita TV could eventually land in the US and Europe.
Masayasu Ito, a division president at Sony Computer Entertainment, told Engadget at this week's Tokyo Game Show: "Of course we are thinking of launching in the EU and US, but in terms of timing we have to watch the timing and watch the environment carefully."
Demoing the new PlayStation Vita TV at the Tokyo show, Ito said he's already seen a strong response from European and American users indicating a demand for the product.
Set to debut in Japan in November, the PlayStation Vita TV can play Vita games, just like the current PS Vita. But the TV version can also stream PlayStation 4 games and other content to a Wi-Fi enabled TV.
One key question on Sony's mind is whether to add more services to the console. Cloud gaming services is a potential candidate.
"It's not that we have decided, but cloud gaming services, how can we work on that?" Ito told Engadget. "So we are looking at each of the possible items before launching in Europe or the United States."

Query Text:
|I am searching for a possible half sibling. My late mother (nee O'Connor) born June 1939, a teacher from Co. Kerry gave up two children for adoption, one born Sep 1961, the other July 1963. The first was born in Clontarf and the latter was born in St. Rita's Home in Ranelagh. St. Patrick's Guild dealt with these adoptions. I have met both half-siblings and the child born in 1963 is now deceased. We were unaware of the child born in 1961 until after my mother had passed away. My mother once said she was told a baby went to America and was adopted by a family whose father was a doctor. This was said when the child born in 1963 was looking for contact with her. I do not know if this was significant as neither of the children we know of, went to America. My late half sibling got photographs from St. Patrick's Guild, including one of a baby she thought was another child given up for adoption. This photo was missing but has recently resurfaced and I have uploaded it. My mother also mentioned knowing a lady in St. Rita's who had to give up triplets all boys. I wonder now if she was hinting about something she experienced. Its possible she had twins as there are twins amongst her relatives. The additional mystery relates to a number of dreams that I had about this half-sibling. In the first I met a man near a building I thought was a hospital. He was the half sibling I was searching for. He has dark curly hair in each dream. In another dream I saw my mother who gave me information on a doctor (Peter O'Brien) who was connected to her and a baby. Was he the doctor in America she once mentioned, or someone who helped her? My sister dreamt this half brother was also a doctor and born in 1965. But he could also have been born in 1966 as my parents did not marry until late 1967. I further dreamt of him as a young boy and this dream had a reference to boys in plural, maybe twins? In another dream I saw him going into a doctor's house and the doctor called him Philip. If this resonates with you I would be very happy to have contact with you.

Phoenix Suns (20-12) at Chicago Bulls (14-18), 8 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Chicago Bulls made a headline move going into Tuesday's meeting with the Phoenix Suns at the United Center.
The Bulls dealt forward Luol Deng and his contract to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for center Andrew Bynum and three future draft picks. The Cavs also sent Chicago the Sacramento Kings' first-round draft pick from a previous deal, the right for Chicago to swap its own 2015 first-round draft pick with Cleveland's, and Portland's 2015 and 2016 second-round draft picks acquired from the Trail Blazers in a 2013 draft-night trade.
"We have great respect for Luol Deng, as a player and a person. He has been an incredible contributor to our team on the court, and he has also done great things in the community," said Bulls general manager Gar Forman. "On behalf of the entire Bulls organization, I want to thank Luol for his years in Chicago."
Deng, a two-time All-Star, averaged 19.0 points and 6.9 rebounds over 23 games for the Bulls this season.
Bynum was suspended indefinitely with pay by the Cavs on Dec. 28 for conduct detrimental to the team. He has played in just 24 games since his breakout campaign in 2011-12, when he averaged 18.7 points and 11.4 boards. Since then, the 7-footer has scored just 8.4 points and pulled down 5.3 rebounds per contest, all this season.
Bynum missed the entire 2012-13 campaign with knee issues and is expected to be waived by the Bulls.
Chicago will close out a four-game homestand (2-1) and won its fifth game in seven tries with Saturday's 91-84 defeat of the Atlanta Hawks. Mike Dunleavy scored 20 points off the bench and Deng added 17 and 11 rebounds.
"We fought hard tonight. It wasn't pretty, but we just found a way. Some nights it is just going to be that way. Sometimes we are going to have to dig deep and make it grimy, I think we did a good job," said Bulls big man Joakim Noah, who tallied 10 points and 12 boards.
The Bulls are 9-7 at the United Center and will visit Milwaukee on Friday. In injury news for the Bulls, forward Carlos Boozer (knee) is questionable versus the Suns and is averaging 14.7 points and 8.6 rebounds.
Chicago is last in scoring this season, averaging just 91.3 points per game, but is second in opponents' scoring at 92.2 ppg. Only Indiana is better on defense, holding the opposition to 88.6 ppg.
Phoenix will begin a five-game road trip Tuesday against Chicago, Minnesota, Memphis, Detroit and New York, and is 8-7 outside the desert this season.
The Suns have won three of four overall and 11 of 14 games, including Friday's 116-100 triumph over the Milwaukee Bucks at US Airways Center. Gerald Green scored 24 points and Channing Frye added 22. Goran Dragic finished with 15 points and six assists and Markieff Morris posted 14 points for the Suns, who racked up 38 points on 26 Milwaukee turnovers and notched their first wire-to- wire win.
"We built the lead up and got it to 20 at one point because we didn't let those guys run their stuff. Then when we sat back and let them run their stuff then they got shots and they got guys that can shoot the ball," said Suns coach Jeff Hornacek.
The Suns, who are averaging 107.0 ppg in the last 14 games and are 17-4 when scoring 100 or more points, only turned the ball over 11 times, leading to just seven Bucks' points.
Phoenix will face Chicago for the first time since splitting a pair of games last season. The Bulls have won seven of nine matchups with the Suns.

"Only at Harbin"
If you're a Harbin regular, you've doubtless joined Harbin residents in enjoying our activities. You've gone to meals, shows, and parties with us and we've gotten
to know you as one of the family. This is our home and you're our welcomed guest. So it must have seemed odd, one Wednesday night, when you joined a resident dinner in the restaurant and then were discouraged from following us upstairs for an after-dinner show – it was "residents only". You must have wondered at how the room roared loudly with hilarity and laughter that reverberated down the staircase. You must have been curious. And sadly, you must have felt left out.
Well, beloved guest, weep no more! Thanks to Jessica Sage, our new Events Co-ordinator whose professional theater and television experience began practically in the cradle, you will no longer have to press your nose against the glass. We now have a summer theater outdoors in the Garden – and this time, everyone's invited! The Harbin-themed shows you missed before, written by the uniquely talented Eric Richardson, will be performed by the Harbin Players every week-end all summer!
Thrill as workshop leaders and gurus lead you through the nuances of the New Age! Marvel as Harbin counselors and body-workers fix all your problems! Weep as sage advice is dispensed with Oprah-like insight to the lovelorn! You will leave the theater wiser – and jollier! – than when you went in. If you were wondering what the Heart Consciousness Church is all about, now you'll know. And, you will have a new perspective on those things that happen "Only at Harbin".
Don't forget to bring something ($10) for the collection plate!

The French Riviera - Cote d'Azur region
From Cannes to Nice going through Antibes and Menton all the way to the Italian Border the Cote d'Azur is one not only of beauty but prestige. The coastline is spotted with turn of the century mansions and modern luxury homes.
During the Summer months when the Cote D'Azur is particularly lively one can find sunbathers on the beaches of sand or pebbles and strollers leisurely walking along the Croisette in Cannes or the Promenade des Anglais in Nice.
Why does the French Riviera remain so popular with connoisseurs of the good things in life?!
Some come for the grandeur of the rugged coast. Others favour the art treasures , the ancient ruins and the sleepy villages tucked away in the hills. Many more come simply for the glamour of the seaside resorts. The charms of the Riviera are so varied that most visitors are at a loss to know where to start. First-time visitors soon fall under the region's spell while those who already know it remain enchanted, returning year after year!

"Lovely apartment in convenient location"
We love this apartment. It is just as descibed. Very spacious and beautifully presented, very good sized rooms, lovely large walk in shower. The apartment is a short stroll from the local supermarket, the harbour and the town. The train and bus station are close by so we did not need to hire a car to explore the area. We had a lovely holiday, wish we were still in Antibes and can't wait to go back. We would definitely book this apartment again.

Microsoft Corporation has just announced a new PC keyboard designed specifically for Windows (sources indicate a Mac variant is being developed).
In addition to the keys found on a normal keyboard, Microsoft's new design adds several new keys which will make your Windows computing even more fun! The final specs are not yet set, so please feel free to make suggestions.
The keys proposed so far are:
More here: Funny Lists
GPF key – This key will instantly generate a General Protection Fault when pressed. Microsoft representatives state that the purpose of the GPF key is to save Windows users time by eliminating the need to run an application in order to produce a General Protection Fault.
$$ key – When this key is pressed, money is transferred automatically from your bank account to Microsoft without the need for further action or third party intervention.
ZD key – This key was developed specifically for reviewers of Microsoft products. When pressed it inserts random superlative adjectives in any text which contains the words Microsoft or Windows within the file being edited.
MS key – This key runs a Microsoft commercial entitled "Computing for Mindless Drones" in a 1″ x 1″ window.
FUD key – Some thing to do with the display … self explanatory.
Chicago key – Generates do nothing loops for months at a time.
IBM key – Searches your hard disk for operating systems or applications by vendors other than Microsoft and deletes them. (Is very effective at removing Netscape).
MSN key – With a single keystroke you will install and setup the world's second slowest web access (AOL takes first place). And you thought it was tough deleting all of the SetupMSN files from Win 95!
RWXP key – Stands for Re-install Windows XP. Because it's usually a weekly ritual for most Win XP users, why not make it easier?
FDISK key – Microsoft's new compression utility gives you 100% data compression guaranteed. Could stand for Format Disk, but we all know what it really stands for.

The long anticipated online magazine, PMc, by celebrity photographer Patrick McMullan, finally launched today on New Years Eve.
McMullan is the most famous party photographer in New York City, and the photographs of social events that appear every day on his company web site are a must-look for celebrities, socialites and media professionals.
"Creating a magazine has been a dream of his [McMullan's] for over a decade, and the dream has finally come to fruition," explains a description of the mag on its site.
"The magazine is a venue for showcasing interesting people, events and art. It will obviously have a close tie to New York City's nightlife, considering that Patrick McMullan is it's founder, but its scope will not end there. It will include images and stories on art, fashion, film, television, music, literature, travel, business, politics, etc."
Among the mag's first features are a spread and interview with Lisa Edelstein of "House", and a conversation on the future of public art with Yvonne Force Villareal and Dorreen Re.
Mini Q&A profiles seem to be the mag's bread and butter. The first issue features McMullan himself, gallery owner Bill Powers, Village Voice columnist Michael Musto, artist Romero Britto and financier Alexandra Lebenthal. Among the questions: What do you do? What are you working on? And of course, how do you know Patrick McMullan?
The magazine will inevitably feature plenty of photography from McMullan and his team of photographers as well as continued features on "FOPs" -- Friends of Patrick.

Quality handmade Persian and oriental rugs are highly coveted and sort after luxury items of household furnishing. Not only aesthetically beautiful, but can last for generations, hold value and can sometimes even appreciate. The true value of a rug is dependant of several factors such as, quality, origin, design, demand and the density of the weave.
As one of the many services we offer, eRugs Direct can provide you a full and concise valuation service from one of our team of experts who between them proudly bode several decades of experience in the rug trade around the globe. Not only do we assess the current market value and replacement value of your rug but also a recommended valuation for insurance purposes. This service comes totally free of charge upon request.
Greater age often increases the rugs value. It has to have good quality of wool, workmanship, dyes, and historical value. On the tribal pieces, some of the tribe no longer exist and their rug became earth treasurer left behind from that particular tribe.
Higher knot density increases the quality and price of the handmade carpet. You can convert RAJ to KPSI by the following formula:
[(RAJ/7) x2.54]^2=KPSI
For example: 40 RAJ of Kashan equal to [(30/7) x2.54] ^2=118 KPSI
Along with the density, weaving of the traditional rugs are not consistent as like as machine made rugs.
The best handmade rug is better than the best machine-made rug, although there are very well-made rugs from both techniques at this point in time.

This is a pretty simple manicure. First though I always put 1 coat of white nail polish on before I apply a neon color. Neons tend to be thin and streaky. A white base coat means you only have to use 2 coats of the neon color and it makes the neon SUPER NEON.
For this manicure I used two coats of China Glaze Celtic Sun. Then I painted 2 coats of Essie Lights in the shape of my nail but leaving room around the cuticle and on the sides to let the neon yellow show. Ta da!

Batch Process Photos with Phatch
All platforms: Add drop shadows, round corners, resize and do much more to multiple photos at once with Phatch, a free batch image processing program. Phatch guides a user through creating customised, reusable "action lists." Once a list is set up, it can be used to, for instance, size a folder of images down to 1024 pixels wide, round the top two corners with a five percent radius and convert them all to PNG files. Hit the "via" link below for a basic walk-through of Phatch's features.
Phatch is a free download for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X, although each platform requires setting up the Python environment and a few other packages, which is a bit easier to do in Linux. Windows users who don't want to dive in can check out FastStone Photo Resizer, and Mac owners can try Photo Drop.Phatch [via Phorolinux]
Make the Most of Your Dual Monitors
Now that you've added another monitor to your computer setup, you've got double the screen real estate to get things done—but are you putting all that space to good use? Whether you want to stretch your desktop wallpaper or taskbar across two monitors or perfectly snap all your windows into place every time, there are a few utilities that can help you make the most of every last pixel of your dual monitors. Let's take a look.
Tigerize Leopard
Mac OS X only: Hate the new reflective Dock in Leopard, or the little blue dots that indicate open programs? Wired's How To Wiki details what it takes to get the old Tiger-style Dock back (a simple Terminal command) and replace the glowing blue dots with Tiger's old black triangles. You can also customise Leopard's startup background image for booting and login. Tweak Mac OS X Leopard's User Interface [Wired How To's]
Update Your Quicksilver, Don't Panic
If you've been trying to download and install Quicksilver in order to get Leopard up to snuff, you've probably noticed that the Quicksilver site is down. In fact, it's been down for quite a few days now. Fear not, Quicksilver lovers, as the application's developer contacted us to let us know that the last version we posted about included a bug that caused some Quicksilver installations to ping for updates like crazy, which brought down the homepage. That, consequently, has meant no one has been able to download Quicksilver or any Quicksilver plugins for a few days. So, whether you want to install Quicksilver fresh or you've already got it installed, go grab the latest version from the link below (it's a direct link) and help put out the fire for the folks who who so kindly bring us Quicksilver free of charge.Quicksilver v3814 [Blacktree]
Leopard Simplifies Networking
Mac OS X only: If you run any kind of server on your Mac with Leopard, you'll dig its revamped Sharing and Network System Preferences panels, which offer new features in a reorganised interface. One huge drawback in Tiger is that unless you install extra software, you can turn on Windows Sharing for your home folder only. No more. Using Leopard, share any folder on your Mac via FTP, Samba, or AFP (Apple Filing Protocol), from a single, easy interface. Take a closer look after the jump.
Make Your Linux Desktop Look Like a Mac
Linux only: Want the look and feel of a Mac without paying the high-end design premium? Tired of hearing from all your Mac-happy friends how awesome Leopard looks? Got time to run through six pages of instructions? Then HowTo Forge has got you covered. Their guide to making a nearly total theme conversion requires Compiz Fusion (installed by default on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon), Awn and the patience to download and place a hefty handful of files, but everything seems to be covered, right down to the system sounds. The guide is written for GNOME-based Linux systems and requires a number of downloads, some of which might not pass the most stringent legal (or open source) tests but are otherwise free. I haven't tried it myself, but this weekend's another story.Make Your Linux Desktop Look Like A Mac [via The Linux Tutorial]
Enable Leopard's Off-By-Default Firewall
Computer security firm publication Heise criticizes Mac OS X Leopard for shipping without its firewall enabled by default like Windows Vista and advises users to turn it on. To do so, in System Preferences' Security area either block all incoming connections or set explicit exceptions for services that can communicate through the firewall, like file or screen sharing, as shown. (More on that in an upcoming post.) Holes in Leopard's firewall [CNET]

An Inexpensive Way to Get More Books for Your Classroom Library: Garage Sales
- Grades: 3–5
Garage sales can be a great way to find used books to supplement your classroom library, cheaply -- if you are patient enough to browse through the many books. I have been especially lucky to hit garage sales held by retired teachers who no longer have use for the hundreds of books they collected over their many years of teaching.
Learn more about my classroom library here.
Comments (3)
I also recommend your local Goodwill or Salvation Army. I recently purchased over two dozen books (mixture of hard cover and paperback) for less than $22. I was so thrilled!
You can also check your local Half Price Books Store. Every month, there is a free book giveaway for teachers. It is usually very early on a Saturday. Check with your local store for exact days/times. Some stores may offer it more frequently.
Yep! Been doing this for years. Goodwill and thrift stores, too.

56 years later–'Key to the City' presented again to the Seberg family
After 56 years, the Key to the City of Marshalltown will be back in the hands of a Seberg. In 1956, Mayor Leonard Grimes organized a homecoming parade for Jean Seberg and presented her with the key to the city on behalf of the City and people of Marshalltown. Now, current mayor Tommy Thompson will join Leonard Grimes in doing the honors of presenting the key to Jean's older sister, Mary Ann Seberg Shuey. The presentation will part of the opening ceremonies on Thursday, Nov. 8, at 7 pm. The key was originally awarded to Jean on Nov. 8, 1956, making it 56 years to the day!
"I've seen and read about that day so often that I feel like I was there, except that I was then a student at Iowa and doubt that I would have been able to get home for that event," said Mary Ann. "From what I've heard, it was a beautiful November day; there were posters and banners on Main Street welcoming and congratulating Jean, and crowds of people cheering as she was driven down the street."
Mary Ann will definitely be in attendance this time around, as she'll be accepting the key to the city of Marshalltown on behalf of the entire Seberg family. "I'm pleased to be able to express appreciation to the city, the Orpheum staff and the college for helping to perpetuate Jean's memory with a permanent reminder of her life in Marshalltown," she said.
Jean Seberg was on her first return trip to Iowa since being selected to play Joan of Arc in late October 1956 from a field of 18,000 applicants. She was met at the airport by then-Governor Leo Hoegh, her parents and other members of her family who marveled at her new pixie hairdo.
Marshalltown Mayor Tommy Thompson will present the key to the city to the Seberg family and also issue a proclamation recognizing the importance of the Jean Seberg Festival here in Marshalltown. "I want to take this opportunity to honor the Seberg family and acknowledge what they have meant to the community throughout the years," said Thompson. "Jean's impact on the arts and theater has meant a lot to this city, the state, the country and even the world. It's very important that the Jean Seberg legacy live on."
The acting mayor of Des Moines, Charles Iles, also gave Jean a key to the city. She was transported to City Hall in downtown Des Moines, and was given a "pastel mink cost that was lent for the occasion". She was also presented the Golden Corn Award from the Chamber, given to individuals "on rare occasions for major achievements."
November 8. This day will no doubt be a trip down memory lane for the family, friends and fans of Jean Seberg. Mary Ann still reflects on how happy her sister must have been to experience such a great homecoming on that fall day 56 years ago. When asked about her fondest memory of Jean, Mary Ann said, "Her generous spirit for anyone less fortunate than she was."
The Jean Seberg International Film Festival is made possible by grants and funding provided by the Community Foundation of Marshall County, Marshalltown Medical and Surgical Center, Marshalltown Convention and Visitors Bureau, Mediacom and Iowa Valley Community College District. Ticket reservations and additional information can be found on the Orpheum Theater Center website at www.ivotc.com.

West Brom 1, Stoke City 2: Charlie Adam scores late winner for the Potters
Posted: May 11, 2014|
STOKE City just can't help themselves whenever they set foot inside The Hawthorns.
They made Albion look a right Charlie yet again to make it just two league defeats in their last 33 meetings with the Baggies.
But Charlie Adam's terrific late winner provided far more than a familiar scoreline in this wonderfully one-sided of football fixtures.
Victory yesterday catapulted Stoke to 50 points to top their previous Premier League best by three – and left them leapfrogging Newcastle into ninth place to beat their previous best by two.

West Bromwich Albion 'part company' with manager Pepe Mel a day after Stoke City victory at The Hawthorns
What a fitting way to conclude such a highly impressive and encouraging first season under Mark Hughes.
This summer's feel-good factor is certainly Stoke's best since Cup Final year in 2011 and leaves us all craving next season sooner rather than later.
And yesterday's entertaining offering – from both sides to be fair – was a grand send off from a Stoke team claiming its third away win of the season to leave their club boasting five wins from their five Premier League visits to The Hawthorns.
But it was a case of all's well that ends well because Stoke's end-of-season curtain call didn't go quite to plan before kick off when Asmir Begovic was forced to cry off with a toe injury to leave Thomas Sorensen starting only his fourth league game of the season.
And it didn't quite go to plan 90 seconds after kick-off, either, when Albion's left-wing corner prompted all kinds of shenanigans in front of Stoke's goal as Stephane Sessegnon's close-range effort rattled off the underside of the bar and bounced right on the goal-line before Glenn Whelan's magnificent clearing header.
Albion, playing with all the freedom of a team now safe bar a ridiculous set of results, enjoyed another chance in the opening six minutes when Sessegnon's shot this time cannoned off a defender and looped behind.
Stoke's 2,500 following behind Sorensen's goal were covering their eyes – and not because of some rare sunshine in their faces – as the visitors were playing with scrambled senses early on.
Albion fans were brandishing their white cards in the ninth minute – in honour of late hero Jeff Astle – just as Stoke suddenly carved out their first opening when Jon Walters rampaged left of goal and unleashed a superb effort that was equally superbly parried aside by Ben Foster.
Walters, playing up front from the start, should then have opened the scoring barely 90 seconds later when planting a free header wide of the far post from Geoff Cameron's raking right-wing cross.
It was certainly shaping up to be an open game and there were no complaints from two sets of vociferous fans wanting their season to end in style.
Graham Dorrans twice shimmied before shooting into Ryan Shawcross at one end, while Peter Odemwingie scuffed comfortably wide to enormous acclaim from his old fans at the other as both sides continued to attack impulsively.
The goal the game deserved came in the 22nd minute and in front of a stunned Birmingham Road End as it was a Baggie netting for the visitors.
Not for the first time Steven Nzonzi strode goalwards with the ball before freeing Marko Arnautovic for a little twist of his hips left of goal before pulling back a low ball for McAuley to inadvertently guide past a wrong-footed Ben Foster and inside the keeper's near post.
Arnautovic was starting to really give his man the collywobbles down Stoke's left, but the mercurial Austrian should have hit the target with a pulled effort from some 20 yards out.
He was then involved in another fine counter-attack that could have climaxed with a second goal had Stephen Ireland's shot not been deflected behind.
City, with Arnautovic in one of those creative moods of his, had certainly looked by far the more accomplished outfit since their fortuitous breakthrough.
Albion did remind us they were the home side shortly before the 40th minute, however, when Chris Brunt's low left-wing ball flashed across the face of Sorensen's goal just begging to be touched home.
Odemwingie didn't exactly endear himself to his old fans when clashing with McAuley – even though it was the Albion man committing by far the worse foul after the referee had already blown against Odemwingie.
The Odemwingie factor was winding up the home fans as well as their players and contributed towards a strong Albion finish in the first period as Sorensen dropped to his left to beat away a James Morrison effort.
A couple of skirmishes in front of Sorensen at the start of the second half caused little consternation among the visiting ranks, but the same couldn't be said of Foster at the other end of the pitch.
Having dived low to his left to safely gather Arnautovic's evil little grasscutter, the former Stoke keeper then contrived to throw the ball behind for a corner rather than upfield following a touch of the Gary Sprakes.
Odemwingie's tunnel-eyed vision for a goal against his old club was evident when he roamed forward and dragged a poor shot wide when Arnautovic, not a man to hide his disappointment, was left screaming for a pass that never came. West Brom's first real threat of the second half resulted in a goal in the 56th minute when Craig Dawson's low pull back from the right channel left Sessegnon, after cleverly checking his goalward run, unmarked and able to sweep home for 1-1.
Arnautovic, still steaming from that Odemwingie pass that never arrived, almost restored Stoke's lead immediately after West Brom's equaliser when deftly curling his shot beyond Foster's dive and against the outside of the keeper's left-hand post.
The game was starting to bulge with chances as Dawson centred for Sessegnon to head this time and force Sorensen into a fine diving save.
And the Baggies came even closer shortly after when Youssouf Mulumbu drilled one across Sorensen and against the inside of his right post.
Both teams were attacking with end-of-season impunity as Arnautovic drifted his third shot of the half towards the inside of Foster's left-hand post to leave the keeper tipping aside, while a later game of five-a-side inside the Albion area left away fans behind the goal begging for the shot that never came.
Mark Hughes was almost mischievous in removing Odemwingie for Crouch to give both sets of fans chance to express their feelings towards the former Baggie.
The three points remained up For Sale to the highest bidder in the final 10 minutes and Victor Anichebe laid down his bid with a neat spin and shot a yard over Sorensen's bar.
But you just knew the killer goal would come at the other end – it nearly always does in these fixtures – as Adam collected some 25 yards from out, proceeded goalwards, wisely ignored options left and right, then unfurled a brilliant low shot that left Foster pawing helplessly as the ball billowed his bottom left-hand corner.
Celebrating Stokies then found another decibel to greet the arrival of Matty Etherington for the very last time in a Stoke shirt.
And there were doubtless a few tears – from player and fans alike – as they showered him with one last chant when Stoke's victorious players took a rightful bow after the final whistle.
