2015 Atlanta Symphony Showhouse
The Atlanta symphony showhouse sizzles with bold color and stunning interiors
Radiating French aesthetic, Château Soleil—built in 1998 by William T. Baker and named for its golden exterior—served as the setting of the 46th annual Atlanta Symphony Showhouse. The area's top designers employed their best decorating tricks to transform the 14,000-square-foot Georgia estate replete with exquisite architecture, including intricate millwork and marble mantels. Each room is a treasure of stylish ideas.

Front Terrace by Chip Wade
The front terrace by Chip Wade is furnished entirely by Frontgate. A curved sofa layered with plush pillows and a coordinating round ottoman form a relaxing retreat. "It's perfect for intimate conversation and a morning cup of coffee," Wade says. An all-weather rug and geometric planters introduce graphic pattern to the hardscape.

Grand Foyer by Loren Taylor
The foyer by Loren Taylor greets guests with visual vibrancy. Stone urns mingle with a bronze statuette and colorful art atop the custom console. An oversize antiqued mirror acknowledges the entry's grand scale while giving the impression of extra light. "A little greenery in a faux clamshell makes a space feel alive," Taylor says.

Living Room by Michel Smith Boyd
The voluminous living room by Michel Smith Boyd creates an art-gallery aura. Donghia's embroidered fabric cascades down the wall by the window. High-back armchairs upholstered in teal velvet and a mohair sofa supply plenty of seating and team with kidney-shape tables. Mirrors and minimalist lighting boost the glamour while antique candlesticks add flair to the existing marble fireplace.

Outdoor Terrace by Bill Hudgins
Accessible through the living room, the outdoor terrace by Bill Hudgins is ideal for entertaining. A striped umbrella shades the cast-aluminum table and chairs, while a sitting area with an armchair and sofa accommodates overflow. Soft green cushions echo the lush surroundings and contrast with the home's yellow exterior.

Powder Room by Beth Kooby
Located just off the foyer, the powder room by Beth Kooby exudes luxury. Above the horizontal wainscoting, a gold floral wallcovering injects pattern and a grouping of antique mirrors reflects contemporary artwork in cool-blue hues. The custom, white-oak floating vanity with serpentine form and Calacatta marble top is finished with a polished-nickel faucet from Kohler.

Den by Vern Yip
To emphasize the den's arched windows and soaring wood-beamed ceiling, Vern Yip coated the walls in Benjamin Moore's "Newburyport Blue" and hung the draperies as high as possible. He then fashioned a functional sitting area around the fireplace with a sofa, a daybed, and a pair of spooled-wood armchairs. Starburst-shape accent tables double as seating. Chevron, Greek key, and floral fabrics inject personality while "pops of warm orange give a needed punch of surprise," Yip says. The sconces, drum pendant, and lamps with blue, petal-shape shades are by Yip for Stonegate Designs.

Butler's Pantry by Stuart Pliner
The butler's pantry by Stuart Pliner proves tiny spaces can have a big impact. To make the small room sing, he gave walls the star treatment with a richly hued wallcovering from Lee Jofa that features an exotic peacock motif. "It adds beautiful color under the cabinets—a place that's commonly filled with tile," he says. The cabinets—equipped with dimmable interior lighting—feature Shaker-style doors with seeded-glass panels that let stemware shine. Circa Lighting's crystal chandelier lends sparkle above.

Dining Room by Randy Korando & Dan Belman
To contemporize the dining room's ornate architecture and give the illusion of aged plaster, Randy Korando and Dan Belman coated walls and millwork in the same matte paint. An antique bronze chandelier dazzles above the transitional table, appointed with twin host chairs upholstered in a flame-stitch fabric by Schumacher. The antique French commode—discovered during a buying trip to France—provides a perch for flowers and dessert. Underfoot, a wool rug introduces sumptuous texture.

Study by Lance Jackson & David Ecton
The study by Lance Jackson and David Ecton introduces vibrant bursts of color. "We wanted the space to be fresh and young, and not look like an old plantation house," Jackson says. The blue chinoiserie wallcovering by Fromental influenced the rest of the room's scheme—including abstract art, bold upholstery fabrics, and a painted ceiling.
Study by Lance Jackson & David Ecton
An antique library table encircled by armchairs acts as focal point, topped by an orchid in a brass planter. Oriental accents embellish the shelves flanking the fireplace.

Powder Room by Ann Wisniewski
Opting for the unexpected, Ann Wisniewski wrapped the powder room walls in a cheetah-pattern metallic wallcovering by Thibaut. "From a distance, it looks like a very traditional pattern," Wisniewski says of the whimsical design. To complement the warm-gray vanity cabinet with quartz countertop, she refinished an existing brass mirror in antiqued nickel. Contemporary art and an alpaca bench serve as finishing touches.

Master bedroom by Robert Brown
"It's my fantasy room of the moment," says Robert Brown of the airy master bedroom. Wood tones counter the winter white and pearl-gray palette. A canopy bed anchors the sprawling space, while antiques infuse authenticity (Brown bought the bergère at auction and discovered the leather-top writing desk in Paris). Suspended from the 16-foot ceiling, a hammered-bronze lantern by Thomas Pheasant for Baker lures eyes upward.

"Her" Bath & Dressing Room by Danielle Rollins & Bill Ingram
To give the capacious dressing room and bath a cocoon-like feel, Danielle Rollins and Bill Ingram used the same large-scale navy floral print on walls and draperies. The design technique "brings the room down and adds a cosseting effect," Rollins explains.
"Her" Bath & Dressing Room by Danielle Rollins & Bill Ingram
An armless chair and tufted ottoman provide comfortable seating. Complementary artwork and ceramics round out the blue-and-white sanctuary. A white chandelier with pleated shades quietly complements the scheme.

Guest bedroom by Melanie Turner
"Work with what you have, but make it fresh and relevant," says Melanie Turner of the guest room's existing wallcovering. Following her own advice, she dressed the French doors in emerald-velvet valances and draperies to offer a textural, jewel-tone contrast to the classic toile. A skirted settee sits at the foot of the canopy bed. Blue-and-white ceramics and a leopard area rug complete the feminine escape.

Guest Bedroom by Patricia McLean
Lovely details fill the guest bedroom by Patricia McLean. Painted door panels and a damask-papered ceiling draw attention, but a teal-bordered floral fabric by Duralee steals the show. Napoleon III chairs in aqua lacquer flank a bookshelf crowned by original art in hand-painted frames. Atop the Oushak-reproduction rug, a gilt bench ornaments the foot of the bed.

Terrace Landing by Cathy Rhodes
Cathy Rhodes wanted the terrace landing to "welcome and wow." A custom console centered on the long wall jump-started the design. An orb chandelier and curvy table lamps reiterate the grass-cloth wallcovering's geometric design. Pattern continues on the area rug, armchairs, and spooled benches. Abstract art and plate displays add intrigue.

Musical Heritage of Thomas Hardy, The
Thomas Hardy, world famous for his novels such as 'Tess' and 'The Mayor of Casterbridge' came from a very musical family. His Grandfather was a cellist and his father and uncle played the fiddle. Thomas himself started to play the fiddle when he was very young and showed a lot of talent for the instrument.
The elder Hardys played in the village band at the village of Stinsford, just outside Dorchester, Dorset. They performed for the Church services and for any local celebrations, weddings etc. In the course of this they collected hundreds of tunes and wrote them down in their music books. Thomas carried on the tradition and for this we owe the Hardy family a huge debt of gratitude.
In their concert 'The Musical Heritage of Thomas Hardy', The Yetties take their jogs, reels, polkas and waltzes from the Hardy family collection and intersperse them with readings and poems by Thomas about the village musicians. Sometimes poignant, sometimes hilarious, the antics of the village choir create a real flavour of Dorset in the 1800's.
Hardy's love of the musical folk of Dorset is beautifully illustrated by this quote from 'Under The Greenwood Tree':
Your brass man is a rafting dog, well and good,
Your reed man is dab hand at stirring ye, well and good,
Your drum man is a rare bowel shaker, good again,
But I don't care who hears me say it
Nothing can spake to your heart with the sweetness of a man of strings
The Yetties have performed The Musical Heritage of Thomas Hardy on television, radio and many times in concert including some very special evenings in Stinsford Church where the Hardy family used to play.
Mr T.R. Wightman, Chairman of the Thomas Hardy Society, says, 'Just as Hardy's works have captivated readers world-wide so have The Yetties established a reputation 'A thirt the Zeas'. Nobody could be more fitted to present these tunes than The Yetties whose background tallies so well with the Hardy's.
'The sheer magic of the evening commenced when singer and narrator Bonny Sartin related passages so descriptive of the Vale of Blackmore from Tess one was almost reverie'. - "The Thomas Hardy Journal".

A winner was selected from 78 designs submitted by 24 freelance designers.
We are about to redesign our website (http://www.cresolutions.com) and really need a new logo. We are open to any suggestions and ideas!
Commercial Real Estate Solutions, LLC http://www.cresolutions.com
Desired Style:
professional, but unique and fun
Accepted File Formats:
vector preferred
We are a commercial real estate firm that exclusively represents tenants. Currently our logo consists only of our company name typed out in navy blue writing in Word ("Commercial Real Estate Solutions, LLC" with "A John Hanly & Carter King Company" typed underneath). Our current colors are navy blue and gray. We are about to completely redesign our website (http://www.cresolutions.com) so we'd like a logo to start us in the right direction. We'd like a professional feel, but with a fun and unique look to it. We do not necessarily need to have the full company name in the logo. If we do have the full company name, we could use a simple logo design to the side of the name. Or we could incorporate the name into the actual design. If you'd like, you can shorten the name to Commercial Real Estate Solutions, LLC, or even to CRES (etc.) if that works better. We are open to all different colors and color schemes.

More than 500 Indian migrant workers have died in Qatar since January 2012, revealing for the first time the shocking scale of fatalities among those building the infrastructure for the 2022 soccer World Cup.
Official figures confirmed by the Indian embassy in Doha reveal that 237 Indians working in Qatar died in 2012 and 241 last year. Another 24 Indians died last month.
These come after the Guardian revealed last month that 185 Nepalese workers had died in Qatar last year, taking the total from that country to at least 382 over two years.
Human rights groups and politicians said the figures meant FIFA could not "look the other way," and should be leading demands for Qatar to improve conditions for the estimated 1.2 million migrant workers fueling the construction boom.
The figures from the Indian embassy also show that 233 Indian migrants died in 2010 and 239 in 2011, taking the total over four years to 974.
Since the World Cup was awarded to Qatar in December 2010, there have been 717 recorded Indian deaths.
The embassy did not provide further details on who those individuals were, their cause of death or where they worked.
However, analysis of the lists of dead Nepalese workers showed that more than two-thirds died of sudden heart failure or workplace accidents.
"With specific regard to these new figures, we were aware that local media had previously reported some of these headline numbers and we are clarifying them. Clearly any one death in Qatar or anywhere else is one death too many — for the workers, for their families, but also for Qataris who welcome guest workers to our country to perform valuable jobs," the Qatari Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs said.
"We are working to understand the causes of these deaths — as these statistics could include a range of circumstances including natural causes and road safety incidents, as well as a smaller number of workplace incidents," it added.
Human Rights Watch researcher Nicholas McGeehan said: "These figures for Indian deaths are a horrendous confirmation that it isn't just Nepalese workers who are dying in Qatar."
A hearing at the European Parliament heard last week from human rights groups, FIFA and other interested parties after a resolution last year calling for action on the issue as construction of 2022 World Cup venues begins in earnest.
Despite the Qatar 2022 organizing committee implementing a new charter relating to construction of its stadiums, and the Qatari labor ministry highlighting an expanded inspection program, human rights groups and trade unions have repeated their call for structural change in the face of hundreds of deaths.
In November last year, Amnesty International warned in a damning report that workers were enduring 12-hour days in sweltering conditions and living in squalid, overcrowded accommodation.
The International Trade Union Confederation says up to 4,000 workers may die before a ball is kicked in 2022 without meaningful reform of the kafala system, which ties workers to their employers, and stringent control of the myriad construction companies and subcontractors involved.
The confederation has called the charter a sham because it does not deal with structural problems created by the kafala system. Many workers arrive in Qatar already heavily in debt, having paid huge sums to middle men to secure contracts in the fast-growing Gulf state.

Thanks to his Florida roots, which run 31-years deep, Justin Riney feels a deep affinity with the waters that surround and run through his home state.
Thanks to his Florida roots, which run 31-years deep, Justin Riney feels a deep affinity with the waters that surround and run through his home state.
Riney turned his back on his degree in finance and last year followed his heart and founded his own non-profit organization: Mother Ocean.
Riney explains that Mother Ocean celebrates the unique resources of Florida's waterways, and promotes awareness and conservation.
"It's a group of like-minded individuals working together toward common interests and projects that promote awareness and conservation," he explained.
Some of the ways Riney promotes awareness include going into schools and speaking about the importance of conserving water, and once a week is Ocean Hour when he and others do their part to help clean up the ocean or other waterways.
"I am a Floridian and grew up on the water. It has given me so much and has set my career path," he said.
Riney needed a project to kick off his newly-founded organization and bring attention to it and when he read that 500 years had passed since Ponce de Leon discovered Florida, he decided that was a cause for celebration.
On Jan. 1 he began a 365-day journey around Florida on a stand-up paddle board from Pensacola. He plans to spend six months paddling the peninsula, ending In Jacksonville on July 4. Then, he will spend six months on the inner waterways, ending Dec. 31 in Tallahassee. He has named this adventure Expedition Florida 500.
"It's a year-long project in celebration of Florida's waterways and communities, and the unique history and resources here," he said.
Along his journey Riney spends the night with friends, when he can, camps in state parks, speaks at schools if invited, attends events, blogs about his adventure, and paddles six out of seven days a week.
He spent about four days in South Walton last week and attended two events; one at The Red Bar and one at Camp Helen State Park.
While here, Riney learned about our area's history, our unique Coastal Dune Lakes, explored our state parks, and spent some time with members of the Choctawhatchee Basin Alliance. The things he learned he shared on his daily blog, which will be seen by people throughout Florida.
"It will help bring awareness about this area," he said.
Riney's next stop is Port St. Joe, where he has an event scheduled highlighting Florida's oceans and waterways, then on to St. George Island.
"Mother Ocean is my personal project, but it is also a collaborative effort and has a growing network of ocean advocates. It's a labor of love," said Riney.
At present, Riney is living on his personal savings and receives some help from family and friends. He depends on donations and grants to fund this labor of love. Donations can be made through Facebook or at www.motherocean.org.

In todays world you can ask anyone who Enya is and its very likely they will say 'yes i know who Enya is'. But ask someone who Moya is, and it will usually be a 'i don't know'

Your .tc domain name renews before its expiration date. The renewal date depends on whether the domain name is auto-renewed or renewed manually. Auto-renewal is attempted on the first day of the month prior to the domain name's expiration date. If the renewal attempt fails, we re-attempt renewal on the 10th of the month and again on the 20th of the month.
If we cannot auto-renew the domain name and you do not manually renew it by the 20th of the month prior to the expiration date, it must be redeemed. There might be a fee for the redemption. See Renew my expired domain for instructions on the redemption. Please note, we cannot guarantee that the domain name will be able to be restored.
For example: Your .tc domain name expires on October 10. If your domain name does not renew automatically, you can renew it manually by September 20. For automatic renewals, we attempt to renew the domain name on September 1, September 10, and September 20.

PearPC Taking Donations to Sue CherryOS
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Corporate News, Software,
So this program called PearPC allows you to run Mac OS X on your Windows-based computer (or Microsoft Xbox). People complained of the agonizing slowness of the platform, and CherryOS announced that they planned on doing it the right way. Well, CherryOS came out, and it was also slow. Upon further inspection, it turns out that CherryOS basically stole a bunch of code straight out of PearPC to build their own software. We should have known something was up when they also named their product after a fruit. Nonetheless, PearPC is now asking for monetary help in suing the CherryOS people. If you care, go ahead and show a little support.

Toshiba Super Charge 60 Second Battery
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Handhelds,
Thanks to a Toshiba Corporation announcement today, it seems that we are near the point where we can say goodbye to the wait time for recharging lithium-ion batteries. Toshiba's new battery can recharge 80% of the battery's capacity in one minute, 60 times faster than a conventional lithium-ion battery. According to the announcement, we have new nano-material technology to thank for this much much needed improvement. Now if someone can only make the batteries last longer, we'll all be in digital heaven that much more quickly.

Microsoft Windows XP N: No Media Player
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Corporate News, Software,
Okay, so a year or so ago Microsoft was ordered to remove Windows Media Player from all Windows XP operating systems they intended on selling in the European Union by way of an order in an antitrust suit. Originally, Microsoft wanted to call the unbundled version"Windows XP Reduced Media Edition". The EU didn't like that, because they thought it would mislead consumers and slow sales. Well, that meant it was time for Microsoft to put the old thinking cap back on, and they came up with a doozy. The final name of the stripped down OS will be "Windows XP Home Edition N" and "Windows XP Professional Edition N". The "N" stands for "not with media player." Awesome.
(Thanks Veronica!)

Sony Will Replace PSPs With Dead Pixels
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Video Games,
If those dead pixels on your PSP have your frustrated, Sony has stepped up and said that they will replace any PSP that has two or more dead pixels. They request that you give the unit a try for a couple of weeks to see if it still bothers you. If so, contact them and they will hook you up with a new one. While replacing units with two or more dead pixels is a nice gesture, Nintendo replaces DS units that have only one dead pixel. That's customer service.

DVD Release List: 3/29/2005
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Movies,
This week's DVD release list is a steal of a list! Topping this week's list is After the Sunset starring Pierce Brosnan, Salma Hayek, Woody Harrelson, and Don Cheadle. The story of a big heist involving the game of cat-and-mouse between the FBI and some thieves just wanting to relax and enjoy their money is one you shouldn't miss. If the story line of "big heist" movies doesn't entice you, perhaps something like Orgazmo will. Whoa, slow down – it isn't what you think it is! Okay well maybe it is in a way. South Park co-creator Trey Parker stars and directs the film about an innocent Mormon kid who gets sucked into the adult-movie industry and becomes a sensation as the porno superhero Orgazmo. If you enjoy South Park then you are sure to enjoy this one.
After the Sunset ~ New Line Home Entertainment
Orgazmo: Unrated Special Edition ~ Universal Pictures
Closer ~ Sony Pictures Entertainment
Apollo 13: Anniversary Edition ~ Universal Pictures
Vera Drake ~ Warner Home Video
Murder, She Wrote - The Complete First Season ~ Universal Pictures
Astro Boy: The Complete Series ~ Sony Home Entertainment
Halo 2 Expansion Pack Confirmed
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Video Games,
Bungie finally shed some light on the rumors about a possible Halo 2 multiplayer expansion pack. There will definitely be an expansion pack which will include nine new multiplayer maps, scheduled will be available on June 28th. Seems like a long time from now, however Xbox Live users will be able to download the maps sooner than that. Starting in late April the first four maps will be available for download. Here's the twist though – two will be free and the other two will be available for purchase. How much is not clear, but we can probably expect to pay $4.99 for the pack (much like the rest of downloadable packs). The remaining five maps will be made available on Xbox Live the day the retail pack is made available (June 28th). For all those of you that actually have patience, ALL the maps will be available for free by late summer. Here's a quick list of the first four maps:
- CONTAINMENT - A massive, mostly outdoor, and somewhat symmetrical environment set in the frozen tundra near Sentinel Wall, on Delta Halo.
- WARLOCK - Set in the rain-soaked ruins of an ancient Forerunner structure, nobody knows if Warlock is a temple, a castle or even a dwelling.
- TURF - The surrounding streets and evacuated buildings of Old Mombasa make it a dangerous warren, with potential assassins lurking in every shadow and around every corner.
- SANCTUARY - A walled grotto defines the center point of this Forerunner habitat, from which aqueducts span out, like the hands of a clock.
These maps look and sound amazing. I know I can't wait to do some major slaughtering on these maps.

iCool Pot Scented MP3 Player
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Portable Audio / Video,
If you have yet to jump on the portable audio bandwagon, this may be the time to do so if you were waiting for a unique MP3 player. Audiotronic has a one-of-a-kind player line which they call iCool. The products range from embossed face plates, to aroma scented units. Now get this - you too can take a sniff of your Marijuana MP3 player whenever you please. Not sure what kind of effect this will have if you are trying to get through airport security (you might have to make a run for it if you see a big guy with some latex gloves coming toward you). The MP3 player line does not come with impressive storage capacity, as the units range from a whopping 16 MB all the way up to 256MB. They run for about 10 hours on a tiny AAA battery and are upgradeable through an SD/MMC slot. The iCool also comes with a built-in voice recorder, 96x24px blue-backlit LCD and has support for MP3/WAV/WMA.

Star In the Film You Are About to See
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Movies,
If you have ever wanted to star in a feature film, but didn't feel like auditioning or paying thousands for acting lessons, here comes the next best thing. Over in Nagakute, Japan at the Aichi Expo, a theater allows audience members to have their faces scanned before the film starts. The faces are then superimposed onto the animated characters in the movie, in which the audience members become the stars. It is said that the film quality is equal to that of Shrek or Toy Story. Very cool.

TiVo HME Bloglines Reader Add-On Released
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Home Entertainment, Internet,
Over the weekend word got out that a TiVo add-on for the HME (Home Media Engine) has been released. According to eHome Upgrade, this "must have" add-on is actually quite limited with its initial functions. It reportedly allows users to log-in and read their Bloglines feed subscriptions through the TiVo interface. This sounds great, but it doesn't seem to work all that well. The feeds aren't sorted in any particular order, folders in your Bloglines feeds are completely ignored ,and the screen title positioning is bad.

A healthy organizational culture unlocks the potential within people, says Matt Monge, chief culture officer for $452 million asset Mazuma Credit Union, Kansas City, Mo.
Monge tells Credit Union Magazine how a healthy culture can provide a sustainable competitive advantage.
Credit Union Magazine: Why is "culture" something that Mazuma wants to focus on and what are the benefits for the credit union?
Monge: In my mind, culture drives everything. It really does.
We can think about it this way: By and large, organizations are filled with smart, capable people.
We have technology to thank for this, at least in part. Everyone has access to the same information, the same technology.
Some get in on things sooner than others, which provides a temporary competitive advantage. But sooner or later, folks catch up.
That's why a healthy organizational culture is not only a good thing to do from the perspective of treating people well. It also provides a sustainable competitive advantage. Healthy culture unlocks the potential within people.
You can almost think of it as an accelerator of talent; a liberator of innovation. Stated differently, if employees are trapped working a job they're not in love with for a company they don't feel treats them well, chances are they're not going to really tap into their potential to as great a degree.
A healthy culture—one marked by high morale, high productivity, organizational clarity, and minimal politics—is one that people want to be a part of. They want to invest themselves in the success of the organization because it's obvious the organization is reciprocating.
They want to grow and improve because they want to be a part of the organization's success.
So, many organizations miss this potentially game-changing competitive advantage because their default strategy when something isn't going well is to look at things like marketing, technology, finance, etc. But the problem doesn't always lie in those areas, or at least not entirely.
Often, organizations try to address culture from a strictly structural or operational perspective, and it just doesn't have any lasting impact. As a result, many groups are eventually just left scratching their collective heads and going back to business as usual.
Credit Union Magazine: Any war stories yet? Have there been memorable successes or failures in the new chief culture officer role so far?
Monge: I think, right now, the coolest moments are the little ones.
It's the time when an executive admits a goof. It's the moment where two teammates learn to relate to each other as humans instead of just co-workers.
It's people starting to talk through a workplace grudge they've held for too long. It's a team rallying around a goal together and investing mental and emotional energy to make something happen.
It's those sorts of organic, human moments that can spark lasting, meaningful, larger-scale change.
It's up to us—all of us—to create an environment that encourages those things.

At VisionFund, as a microfinance network, our donation equation is unique. When you choose to support World Vision's microfinance work, your money is first more than doubled and then recycled over and over again, so that dozens of borrowers and hundreds of children benefit over a long period of time. Below you can learn about our unique model as well as use our calculator to determine what impact your donation would make.
Let's say you donate US $1,000. We use your donation to borrow more money from financial markets (often three to five times) and it more than doubles in value to over US $2,600. Next, we take this leveraged amount and transform it into small loans. The average loan is around US $500, so your donation can now provide loans to nearly five people who want to start or grow a small business.
As our clients increase their incomes, their children experience better living conditions and a more secure education. In fact, a US $1,000 donation helps more than 25 children in the first year alone. But remember, the money we lend out is given back, so loans are recycled and lent out to a new borrower. That means that over time, we can reach more and more clients, helping more and more children, with the original US $1,000 you gave us.
Use our donation impact calculator below to see how a small donation can make a lasting impact on a community and children, as borrowers access loans and develop their businesses.

dspolish needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 60 designs submitted by 27 freelance designers.
An eye catching, cool logo for a website geared entirely for the teen market. We are looking to cater to 12 - 17 year olds.
Ultimately it would be great to have an identifiable graphic to go along with the name teenfaze.com like how one would recognize the swoosh and know it was Nike.
Note: Please try to use clean graphics because we will be using our logo for embroidery purposes as well.
Desired Color Scheme:
#049ec7 (blue) and #7fc518 (green)
Desired Style:
Hip, Cool, Fun, Not Kiddie, Not Edgy, Clean
Accepted File Formats:
Vector Graphic, Layered Hi-rez PSD, TIFF, EPS, AI
Our website is called teenfaze.com and features short "shows" with categories such as Music, Fashion, Movies/TV, and Advice. Our target audience is 12 - 17 year olds.
We are looking to establish a complete identity for this project. Our logo will be plastered on everything from t-shirts, hats, promotional products, and an array of marketing materials.
You can get a feel for the look of our site at http://stage.teenfaze.com for our main colors and the "vibe" we are going for. There is a temp logo in the top left which uses the colors we are interested in.
One important note is teens do NOT like to be called kids or even identified as kids. They are coming out of the kiddie age so we are not looking for something that will appear to them as such. We are also not looking for something edgy. We feel edgy appeals more to the upper teenage years.
Be sure to check out the demo videos by clicking on one of the categories.
We do want .com to be included in this logo since this project is 100% web based.
We do have a preference of Font style (Velvenda Cooler) but are still open to others.

A 2nd Chance Bail Bonds
"Everyone Deserves A 2nd Chance"
We are looking for a new logo design that is going to jump off the page and grab you...
We are a bail bonding company based out of Georgia, but we write bonds nationwide. We are looking for a logo that is going to jump off the page and grab you.
People get Bail Bonding confused with Bounty Hunting (which we don't do), we simply put up money for people to post bond so that they can get out of jail until their court date (innocent before proven guilty), for that we collect a fee.
The logo should re-enforce the fact that we are here to help people 1st and foremost, we are the good guys who help the innocent get out of jail until otherwise proven guilty. In the past we've used logos that don't portray that enough.
This logo will mainly be used for our new website design that we are currently working with a third party developer on, but might also get incorporated into other marketing materials. Also this logo will be incorporated into a flash banner at the top of our new site that our developer is building.
- Logo must say: "A 2nd Chance Bail Bonds"
- Tagline: "Everyone Deserves A 2nd Chance"
- Color Scheme: Red & Black
- Must be a varation of our new corporate logo found here: http://a2ndchancebailbonds.com/2nd_logo.jpg- Logo must be delivered in original SOURCE FILES upon acceptance.

On Jan. 24 at George Washington University, Scott Bates, president of the Center for National Policy, elaborated on his provocative "Taiwan 21" plan, in which he outlined his ideas to enhance Taiwan's security and its regional standing within East Asia. While his proposals are well intentioned, they fail to take into account the realities on the ground in Taiwan, both militarily and politically.
Bates said that Taiwan should make a "solemn pledge that in the event of hostilities, the Republic of China will never conduct any military action on the shores of China." This declaration would give Taiwan "the moral high ground" and cause China to "lose face" in such a conflict, causing China to become too "humiliated and embarrassed" to continue such an attack on Taiwan.
Beijing has shown that it places little value in international perception when it comes to "internal affairs." The Tiananmen Square Massacre of 1989, as well as continued military and police crackdowns in Xinjiang and Tibet, shows that the notion of Taiwan taking a moral high ground in a military conflict with China would have little or no value in the international arena, save for token condemnations and expressions of anger from nations that have repeatedly shown to be guided in their actions by an economic compass rather than a humanitarian one.
In strategic terms, the notion of Taiwan publicly renouncing any military means of retaliation from a Chinese initiated attack on it is beyond comprehension.
Although Taiwan's ability to launch a counter-offensive in the scenario listed above could be limited in scope and effectiveness due to initial damage from military action, it is a possibility the People's Liberation Army (PLA) would have to weigh heavily before taking any military action against Taiwan.
To lose military personnel and hardware over the Taiwan Strait is one thing; to have ports, fuel and missile depots and military installations damaged or destroyed in China is another, and could have a devastating impact on the psyche of both the PLA and the civilian population. Such a valuable tool should not be abandoned by Taiwan for the sake of potential goodwill among the international community.
Bates also suggested that the Taiwanese army be modified and recast as a "self-defense force." This new force could then, according to Bates, become a premier disaster response team in Asia, providing states in need with airlift capacity and logistical support. While this idea is noble in theory, it is not grounded in reality.
The reason? The same international community that Bates feels Taiwan should garner goodwill with to solidify its future will undoubtedly be under pressure from Beijing to refuse such aid from Taiwan.
China's successful lobbying in 2004 excluded Taiwan from the international tsunami donors coordination conference and similar pressure from Beijing could force states to refuse humanitarian assistance from Taiwan, so even the most advanced, well-trained disaster response force in Asia could find itself remaining in Taiwan, helpless to carry out its primary mission of disaster relief in the region.
Bates places unrealistic expectations on what the reactions of the international community would be if a benign Taiwan were attacked by the People's Republic of China. If history is any indicator, states around the globe would protest, but China, seeing Taiwan as the last territorial remnant of Western imperialism that has not been reclaimed by the motherland, would pay little attention.
