Get her decorating tips!
Coloured cabinetry and a patterned backsplash make a statement.
At the homeowners' request, designer and TV host Sarah Richardson completely gutted this kitchen and reimagined it as a classically inspired space with beautiful millwork and dentil mouldings. A refurbished skylight floods the room with natural light. Instead of eating in the formal dining room (now used as a family room), the family takes their meals at the kitchen's antique French wine-tasting table.
Glass knobs add sparkle.
The kitchen in this London home was completely redone by Sarah Richardson Design, but designed in keeping with the era of the house. To complement the classical theme, Richardson opted for Calacatta Vision marble floors. "I like that they're not strictly grey and white, but have veins of green and blue which offer flexibility in terms of other colours to draw out of the room."
Vintage headboards are revamped with white paint.
A pale shade of blue and identical linens create a restful vibe in this East Coast cottage bedroom. Dark, turned-wood headboards, bought at auction for $60, feel light and airy after Sarah Richardson transformed them with white paint. A star-shaped light fixture floating high in the eaves adds to the dreamy effect.

A blue palette references the nearby shore.
This living room emphasizes the home's sea-inspired blue and white palette. A soaring ceiling accommodates the two-tiered wrought-iron chandelier, which serves as a stately focal point in the room.
A custom tile treatment enhances a small space.
A custom tile marble backsplash brightens this formerly dark condo kitchen, and give it a special, luxe quality. The existing washer and dryer are hidden behind matching high-gloss cabinet doors for a clean look.
Floor-to-ceiling windows focus a room on the views.
With its unadorned glass doors, this Sarah Richardson Design dining room is all about the view. The dining chairs have a sophisticated look, but they are upholstered in a vinyl fabric for easy clean up. The bench can accommodate a crowd of kids, a functional touch in this East Coast family vacation home.

A budget-friendly shower update.
Sarah punctuated ceramic shower tile with striped limestone bands; an economic treatment that still conveys a graphic visual interest in a glass shower.
Divide up areas to create living zones.
Sarah Richardson created distinct areas for entertaining, reading and TV watching in this condo's main living area. A pair of vintage swivelling chairs shifts the focus from the living room to the dining area (not shown). Sapphire tuxedo sofas are masculine and streamlined in compact digs.

An accent wall makes small spaces lively.
Bold sapphire blue and orange are authentic matches for the strong lines of mid-century modern furnishings. Sarah Richardson spontaneously painted the corner in cobalt (Launch, SR40) by Para Paints because she felt the den area needed more colour to look finished. Vintage chairs are upholstered in a vibrant orange vector-print linen.

Elevate an everyday room with an exotic print.
A country house's hardworking laundry room goes from utilitarian to charming with intricate chinoiserie-style wallpaper.
A pop of natural red offsets paler tones.
Built-in cabinets topped by Tuscan columns separate — but don't visually close off — the kitchen and dining room from the great room in this weekend home. Soft green chenille armchairs enlivened by crisp white piping create cosy seating, a spot to debrief after a horse show or leaf through a favourite magazine. Tonal striped throw pillows in a pale palette pulled from the floral rug are a Sarah Richardson trademark. A cluster of brass candlesticks and a crimson-leafed maple branch clipped from outside are simple decor touches that lend impact.

Update a traditional room with eye-catching fabric.
Sarah Richardson upholstered the chair backs in contrasting striped fabric to add visual interest to the table when viewed from a distance. The wrought-iron chandelier is a rustic touch in this country home, while a collection of patinated pewter is perfect for a fall setting.
See more of Sarah Richardson's designs in our photo gallery.
An inviting space for weekends.
Cosy sofas and a clean-lined flagstone fireplace make the great room the quintessential spot for a lazy weekend. Sarah Richardson painted freestanding hutches to give them a country-casual charm, and provide display for antlers and antique bronze copperware vessels that accentuate the room's high ceilings.
See more of Sarah Richardson's designs in our photo gallery.
Dark natural touches create a masculine feel.
Sarah wrapped this library in rich alderwood panelling and accented it with pure linen drapes and a gold bar cart. The coffered ceiling adds an English elegance to this country home.
Consider dividing a large room into two seating areas with back-to-back sofas.
"I like a different colour for each room," says Toronto designer and TV host Sarah Richardson. "If you're going to open another gallon of paint, you might as well make it a different colour." In the lower-level living room of this London home she designed, butter yellow walls play off punchy cherry and burnt orange accents. Richardson placed her custom-designed sofas in a clubby arrangement to take advantage of the marble and ormolu-inset fireplaces that bookend the room. "It creates an opportunity to have different views in a room," she notes.
Create an inviting area to relax with a comfortable seat and functional light.
"I wanted this London house to feel like you could cosy up in every corner," says Sarah. She tucked a red chaise longue next to a detailed, original fireplace for views out the living room windows.
Reupholster antiques in gutsy fabrics.
Sarah and the team installed bookshelves in an old doorframe to convert a full wall in this living room into a library. An Italian marquetry table, paired with French wing chairs — recovered in cut velvet — offers a perfect spot to plan the day.
Opt for an industrial-style coffee table to modernize your space.
"The table is durable, and something you can put your feet up on after a long day," says designer Sarah Richardson. The sofa is covered in herringbone-style linen and mohair velvet, while the stools and throw pillows are a young and fresh mix of flannels and striped linens. The lively patterns offer contrast to the more traditional mouldings and end tables.
Discover more new traditional decorating tips, plus see a gallery of Richardson designs.
Achieve a polished look with symmetry.
A skillful mix of patterns infuses this family room with shades of blue, from soft to cerulean. A pair of printed armchairs face the main seating area, while two wing chairs upholstered in menswear-inspired fabric flank a games table.
Reupholster antiques in linen or unfussy fabrics.
In this space, vintage furniture gets a fresh spin thanks to contemporary glass, a neutral palette and lively pillows.
Hang artwork along the stairs.
Hand-blocked wallpaper with a dancing leaf motif draws the eye up the main staircase. Inlaid floor detailing defines the parquet floors.
Traditional furniture honours this London home's heritage.
In this pale blue principal bedroom, an antique French bed and leggy bedside tables exude dignity and refinement. The armchairs were a winning find already upholstered in grey-blue linen.
Experiment with furniture in your bathroom.
Antique wood storage brings an elegant look into this principal bathroom. A dramatic bathtub faucet and towel rack offer luxe touches.
An oval mirror and whimsical sconces adorn this bathroom like jewelry.
A U.K. craftsman made this principal bathroom vanity based on a vintage furniture piece at Sarah's request. It features decorative baroque veneer panels and a Calacatta marble top.
Paint walls a light, bright green to make a space feel more open.
In the bedroom of a London, England home, designer Sarah Richardson looked to nature as her guide, setting twin antique brass beds against soft green walls and bedding. "This shade is a favourite of mine," she says, citing a mossy stone wall visible outside the windows as inspiration for the palette.
Get more design and decorating ideas in our Designer Bedrooms photo gallery, or in our Sarah Richardson photo gallery.
Stately wing chairs layer sophistication into a kid's room.
Sarah chose a lavender colour for this ceiling to contrast softly with the pink toile bedspread. Crisp, relatively unadorned walls are the perfect foil for an ornate mirror.
Accent neutral pieces with colourful trim.
Monogrammed chairs and roman blinds trimmed in pink polka dots offer a cheery touch in this girl's bedroom. Lavender- and rose-tinted glass pieces inject colour.
An antique chandelier and bergère chair lend a classic, feminine look to this bedroom.
Sarah chose a stately British Colonial-style armoire for storage and style. The pale lavender ceiling casts a flattering glow.
Cover a focal wall with tiles.
Pinwheel tiles made of Ming green and Thassos marble bring subtle colour to the kids' Gustavian-inspired bathroom.
Christmas at Sarah's idyllic country retreat is stylish yet casual.
The 12-foot tree in designer and HGTV host Sarah Richardson's farmhouse living room was cut down on their property by Sarah's husband. Loaded with ornaments, both old and new, the tree stands between the dining room and living room, allowing it to be seen from many vantage points. The warm colour scheme of red, orange and cream in the space creates a cosy feeling, perfect for a country home.

Unconventional greenery puts a unique spin on traditional handrail Christmas decorations.
In designer and HGTV host Sarah Richardson's holiday house, no area goes undecorated. A boxwood garland along the handrail is a lighter take on a pine or spruce garland, but equally festive. Yellow and gold bird ornaments reference the painted stair runner and add a fun touch. If properly dried and stored, boxwood can last for several seasons before needing replacement.
Find more inspiration in our photo galleries of Sarah Richardson's Holiday House, Christmas Decorating Ideas and Gorgeous Garlands.
Add a little sparkle to your front or back yard.
It's not just fir trees' time to shine. This season, why not dress your naked deciduous trees with Christmas lights? Oversized or whimsically-shaped white lights are a chic alternative to standard multicoloured strings. "Christmas, for me, lives everywhere," shares designer and homeowner Sarah Richardson, who draped her apple tree with pretty globes.

Watery accents, curvaceous glass and an oversized floral wallpaper add femininity to an angular kitchen.
"By choosing a neutral palette for the fixed kitchen elements, you have great flexibility to change the room's mood if the urge strikes — and it always does with me," says designer Sarah Richardson, host of HGTV's Sarah's House and Sarah's Cottage. Here, dark wood mixes with light 2′ x 2′ travertine tile, a Botticino marble mosaic tile backsplash, pretty light fixtures and a shiny countertop. "People think stainless steel counters will be too cold, but I love them — I cook every night and they're easy to clean."
See more of Sarah's designs in our photo gallery.
Clean-lined cabinets and finishes play off feminine accents.
The original kitchen plans of designer Sarah Richardson, host of HGTV's Sarah's House and Sarah's Cottage, didn't include wallpaper — until she came across this pattern. "I loved the large scale and that it was a contemporary floral," she says. "And the silver is such a subtle metallic touch, it was just pure luck that it happened to work with my scheme."
See more of Sarah's designs in our photo gallery.
Cool-blue custom chairs by Sarah Richardson Design strike an elegant note in this living room design.
The living room of Andrea Lenczner, one half of the fashion label Smythe, epitomizes her personal method of decorating. The painting is by friend Michael Adamson, the collection of vases was a gift from her mother and the silver Arne Jacobson ashtray is a vintage piece.
See more photos of Andrea's traditional home in the September 2008 issue.
A Sarah Richardson-designed bathroom.
A sleek glass-fronted shower stall and watery glass mosaic tiles make this room feel spacious and bright. The zebrano-wood vanity and square sink speak to the room's zen-like quality, while the vanity's lower shelf provides the perfect place to store necessities, keeping walls and countertop clear of clutter.
For more before and after projects, see our Bathroom Makeovers photo gallery, plus more Spa-Like Bathrooms.
Warm browns and greys make this high-ceilinged space seem cosier.
Designer Sarah Richardson, host of HGTV's Sarah's House and Sarah's Cottage, decorated this "Millionaire Designer Home" for the VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation Lottery. "I wanted it to have a coastal feel: a breezy, light-hearted tone that was sophisticated and elegant, too," she explains. Velvet-upholstered furniture and wood add a sumptuous note to the living room, while mirrors add sparkle.
Find more inspiration in our photo galleries of Sarah Richardson Designs, Traditional Living Rooms and Rooms With Brass Pendants.
The front door of Sarah's house features square wreaths.
Giant pots of pine trimmings, decorated with reflective silver balls and twinkling white lights, set a celebratory tone before guests even set foot inside one of Sarah Richardson's holiday parties. Wreaths rendered in a unique square shape are contemporary takes on the seasonal standbys.
For more festive exterior decorating ideas, see our Outdoor Holiday Decorations gallery.

A colourful rug and rich paisley bergere chairs are tempered by neutral walls.
Stately mouldings reinforce a refined aesthetic, and lush florals bloom as accents in this home that Sarah decorated for a friend.
A spacious soaker tub and sleek marble flooring establish this space as a lush sanctuary.
An antique vanity adds rich patina to a serene bathroom. The calming shades of cream and green are classic Sarah choices.

July 19: Soy Rojo Film Screening in Banning, CA
In celebration of Latino Conservation Week, Canaan Assembly of God Church will hold a screening of the film Soy Rojo and discuss the importance of the Colorado River and it tributaries, and the need for conservation.
The Colorado River is the lifeblood of the southwest — its water sustains over 35 million people, including one-third of the nation's Latinos, and endangered fish and wildlife in seven states. The Colorado River is an integral part of our heritage and way of life. It supports wildlife, tourism and our agricultural industry.
However, A century of overusing the river has put the river at a critical crossroads. Demand on the river's water now exceeds its supply, leaving the river so over-tapped that it dries up to a trickle before reaching the sea.
As populations grow, we need to be even more careful in conserving water to help preserve our environment, protect against pollution and keep our ecosystems intact.
This event is open to the public.
Sunday, July 19, 2015

What Is A Picture Book And Could I Write One?
09/03/2017 @ 17:18:00
Let me present a very common scenario that occurs at the beginning of the creation of a childrens picture book and many a childrens writers career:
Parent, or
grandparent, reads picture book to young child
2. Child enjoys the story and wants to hear it again another ten million times (or so it feels!)
3. Parent or grandparent, who by now is utterly exhausted and bored silly, suddenly has a brainwave. Hey! This book is so simple anyone could write one. Why dont I have a go?
And there you have it. Another would-be picture book writer is born.
Its easy to see why picture books look so easy to write. The plots are simple, the language is basic, the word counts are low and most of the characters are teddy bears. How difficult can it be?
The honest answer is very difficult indeed. You need to know all sorts of things, including what to write about, what to avoid writing about and how to fit your story into the picture book format, which is something of a skilled job in itself. Above all you need a reasonable understanding of how the international picture book market works before you have even a glimmer of a chance of getting your book accepted for publication and from there, into book shops around the world and translated into numerous unintelligible but highly impressive-looking foreign languages.
Can you succeed? Well I did. Hundreds, if not thousands of other childrens writers worldwide have succeeded too and so can you.
In the next weeks on this blog I will be covering topics from my book How to Write a Childrens Picture Book and Get It Published (Robinson, Little, Brown Book Group). What I won't be doing is discussing board books (baby books made of cardboard) or bath books (baby books made of plastic that go in the bath) or ABC and counting books because, with a few notable exceptions, they contain very little text and absolutely no story. For this reason they are nearly always produced in-house by the publisher itself.
By in-house I mean that the entire concept, design and content of this type of product is created by people who are employed by the publisher. Professional authors dont get a look in simply because there is no creative story-telling work to do.
What I will be covering is the creation of proper picture books which require a fair level of skill and creativity. With this in mind Ill be discussing things like format, layout, plot planning, character creation, titles and the elusive answer to everybodys number one question what do childrens publishers really, really want?


text: Once again taking the free sample approach, the company that killed the electric car has decided to give 1,000 drivers the chance to drive the hydrogen-powered Equinox SUV's for three months. The company will also offer free hydrogen services (because who has hydrogen lying around the house?). The catch, other than having to be a guinea pig for GM researchers, you have to live in suburban LA, New York or Washington, D.C. to be a part of the program. You'll also probably have to sign a form that says you won't sue if the truck explodes. Go here to see if you're eligible. [Conde Nast Traveler]

Johnson City, Tenn. - ETSU will host the 2000 Southern Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships from February 25-26 in the Memorial Center. The Bucs enter the Indoor finals as the fourth ranked team on the women's side and the sixth best team in men's competition.
ETSU's women's team will be led by its 400-meter combo of sophomores Rosaline Addo and Jennifer Howard. Addo and Howard, who finished second and third at the 1999 Indoor finals, enter this Championship as the top two 400-meter runners in the Southern Conference. Addo ran a 56.80 in the 400 meters, the best time of any Southern Conference runner.
The women's distance runners will be led by senior Catherine Berry and sophomore Lauren Campbell. Berry has run the second best 5,000-meter time in the SoCon (17:25.95) and the third best time in the 3,000 meters (10:19.60). Campbell ran the SoCon's best 800 meters with a time of 2:15.80.
The men's team will be led by junior Evan Hawkins who ran the second-best SoCon time in the 400 meters (:49.14). Sprinter Kevin Pennycooke finished fourth in the 55 meters at the 1999 SoCon Indoor Championships and enters this year's finals with the sixth best time (:06.44).
The men's distance events will be highlighted by senior Mitchell Jones. Jones is ranked third in the 5,000 meters, fourth in the 2,000 meters and fifth in the mile. Junior Jason Farr has cleared the high jump at 6'6.75, third best in the Southern Conference this year.
Last season ETSU finished fourth on the women's side while the men's team finished fifth at the Indoor Championships.

Whether you are an experienced scooterist, or a newbie, why not check out the latest and greatest scooter models at your local Kentucky scooter dealer? Or Better yet, schedule a test drive! Distance: If you're going to buy one then you're going to have to transport it. Transporting a scooter costs money, especially if you have to rent a trailer. Make sure you calculate this cost into the overall cost of the scooter. On the other hand if you have your M class license and you go to a local scooter dealer in Kentucky, you could drive it off the lot and straight home.

Repair and Maintenance: Another thing to consider is that you should be able to take your scooter back to the local dealer at any time for a repair. If you purchased elsewhere then you're going to have to travel just to have your scooter repaired. A local business will be faster, more reliable and cost less money. Usually a Kentucky scooter dealer is the best place to have yours repaired because they are more likely to have the expertise you need.
Kentucky Scooter Dealer
Parts Availability: If you buy from a local shop then you can call them at any time to have parts serviced or replaced. If you purchased your scooter elsewhere then it's going to be a bit more of a hassle. Local Kentucky scooter dealers will have the parts you need because they sell the scooter you bought. Usually a company will be more likely to keep parts in stock, or be able to order them for you on short notice.
Support Your Local Economy: Did you know that your local shop is likely owned by a small business? If you want to support your local economy, put money back into your area and improve your area then purchasing local is the way to go.
Expertise: Last but not least, a dealer will be someone that you can visit or call at any time for help with your scooter. Whether you want to know where to get modifications, how to get your M class license or just know more about the industry, benefits and lifestyle, chances are you can find the information at a local shop.
The confusion between mopeds and scooters is prevalent because both bikes are lightweight model motorcycles and over time, many of their characteristics have become interchanged. Today, both are very similar in appearance and style, and even manufacturers may sometimes confuse the two titles. As a rule of thumb, just choose a model based on what you want to use it for.
Choosing a motor scooter should involve research based on the capabilities and options presented by the bike as well finding the right scooter dealers. Setting a budget and sticking to it can also help buyers to choose the bike they want without going over the price they can afford. Usually what the scooter will be used for, such as driving between work, or driving for fun, or transporting groceries or etc. should be used as a major determining decision before choosing the bike. Many scooter companies offer multiple models so make sure that you check out your options, compare prices, and research your needs before a purchase.

BROOKLYN HEIGHTS, N.Y. (AP) Ben Mockford tallied 19 points as St. Francis (N.Y.) dominated the second half in a 70-56 victory over Mount St. Mary's Thursday night in Northeastern Conference action.
Mockford was 6-of-9 shooting, including 5 of 6 from 3-point range. Four of Mockford's treys came in the first 5 minutes of the second half, during which time the Terriers turned a 27-25 intermission advantage into a 43-32 lead.
St. Francis (6-8, 2-1) went on to shoot 50 percent (13 of 26) in the half and closed on a 7-2 run for the 14-point win.
Thursday's game was the first on a four-game road trip for the Mountaineers (6-8, 1-2), who have now dropped four straight away from home.
Kristijan Krajina entered averaging 15 points and five rebounds in his past three games, and led the nation with a 71.2 shooting percentage, but scored just six points on 2-of-2 shooting Thursday.

About Genuine VW
The colossal Volkswagen Group, comprised of Audi AG, Skoda, SEAT, Lamborghini, Bugatti Automobiles, Porsche AG and Bentley Motors (among other automotive and industrial marques) began life in 1937 with the VW Type 1. Intended as affordable transportation for Germany's prewar working class masses the Type 1 ultimately carved out a foothold for VW worldwide as the Beetle. Accepting the torch from the Type 1 were the Golf, Scirocco and Polo, all based on the Audi 50 and enormous successes that defined the form and function of compact cars for the foreseeable future. 1975 saw the introduction of the Golf GTi, another milestone for VW as it created the "Hot Hatch" segment. Current Offerings from VW implement direct injection, turbocharging, variable valve timing and common rail diesel injection once again bringing class leading performance and fuel economy to the people.
Sometimes advanced, proprietary systems require genuine parts. With a comprehensive inventory of Genuine VW parts and an extensive network of resources eEuroparts.com is able to source parts for your cutting edge MK7 to your classic MK1.

Spain is officially in recession again.
The country's economy shrunk for two consecutive quarters and now has 5,639,500 citizens without work and an unemployment rate of 24.4 percent - the highest in Europe. This comes at the heels of S&P lowering Spain's credit rating two notches.
Protests, rallies, anti-commerce graffiti, incomplete developments, and lines for social services tell us a story of a nation struggling to get its economy back in order. Courtesy of Reuters, images below:

Demonstrators fill up Madrid's Puerta del Sol on May 21, 2011. Dubbed "los indignados" (the indignant), tens of thousands of protesters filled the main squares of Spain's cities for seven days, in a wave of outrage over economic stagnation and government austerity marking a shift after years of patience.

A view of the City of Arts and Sciences, by architect Santiago Calatrava, is pictured in Valencia May 2, 2012. The complex's cost escalated from an initial 625 million euros up to 1280 million euros, according to local media. Once the beacon of Spain's new economic grandeur, the Mediterranean region of Valencia has become a symbol of all that is wrong with the country. Years of free spending, coupled with a hangover from a burst real estate bubble and the collapse of local banks, have put Valencia on the brink of being bailed out by the central government - which has huge budget problems of its own. The building sector's implosion has forced into the open allegations that corrupt Valencian politicians, developers and bankers were in cahoots during a decade of easy money at low interest rates after Spain joined the euro in 1999.

They are selling new apartments at rock-bottom prices with bargain-basement mortgage deals. Santander, the euro zone's largest bank, offered two-bedroom apartments around a communal swimming pool for 65,000 euros ($86,100), with 100 percent mortgages over 40 years, costing as little as 242 euros a month to service, about a sixth of the average Spaniard's monthly income.

Uriarte is facing losing her home after it was severely damaged by flooding and her husband lost his job, leaving the couple without an income and unable to find a buyer for the house. She complained that in Spain the banks can take your house without cancelling the debt owed, and said she planned to continue in front of the bank without food or drink, "For as long as I can manage".

Over the next nine weeks, Wired.com is presenting a collection of galleries intended to help people become better geeks, nine items at a time. This is the first of the series.
Maybe you have friends who aren't into Wired. Or the whole geek thing. You're friends with these people, so we'll assume a certain level of intelligence. They can read, right? So what do you tell them to read to get them a footing in this weird, wonderful world?
Here's a collection of books that should get anybody started on the road to geekdom, or at least get conversant in this world. If you've read all nine of these, you are one serious, smart geek. If not, you've got some fun ahead of you.
The problem with making a list is that you need to set limits. The limits here are: nine books, no duplicate authors, none written by people employed in this building. (Peace at home trumps all.)
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master's Guide
By Gary Gygax (1979)
The hallmark of the true geek is attention to detail, and this book provides it in tiny, sans-serif type over 240 pages. You don't even have to be an adventurer to enjoy the obsessiveness that fills every page. There are tips on Treatment of Prospective Henchman, a Pummeling Table (that's a chart, not furniture) and 20 types of insanity with detailed descriptions. Ostensibly a rules encyclopedia, the book really is a resource that gives people the tools to create entire worlds that their friends can explore and dream in.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
By Douglas Adams (1979)
Arthur Dent fumbled his way around the universe on British radio years before Douglas Adams eventually (and apparently under duress) wrote this novel featuring his beleaguered non-hero, earning millions of fans in the process. If you don't know the importance of a good towel or what a Babel Fish does or why every geek smartass on the planet answers your questions with "42," this book will tell you.
By Alan Moore (1986 to 1987)
It may be stretching it a bit to call Watchmen a book, since it's really a comic book series combined into one volume, but its standing as the greatest graphic novel of all time overrides any rules-lawyering. Although it looks for all the world to be a classic superhero epic, it's anything but. The crime-fighters in Watchmen are not sympathetic, but they are fascinating and flawed, including the deeply cynical Comedian, the right-wing Rorschach and the too-smart-for-the-rest-of-us Ozymandias.
Gödel, Escher, Bach
By Douglas Hofstadter (1979)
The title promises looks at Kurt Gödel, M.C. Escher and Johann Sebastian Bach, and this crazy, complicated, smart, fun book delivers. But it's not really about math, art and music, but rather thinking. Add some Lewis Carroll and you get things like a Crab Canon; a discussion between Achilles, a tortoise and an anteater; and a ton of puzzles. Feed your brain.
Ender's Game
By Orson Scott Card (1985)
It's the story of a violent boy who is selected for battle training as humans struggle with an insectoid alien species. The crux of the story involves Ender's spectacular ability to size up a conflict — simulated or otherwise — and find a way to win it, often in the most ruthless fashion. Thus the question becomes where the games begin and end. Be warned, as the novel has spawned some fairly nasty arguments about what's really happening in it (and the author himself isn't exactly well-liked). Fact submitted without comment: It once appeared on the U.S. Marine Corps Professional Reading List.
Snow Crash
By Neal Stephenson (1992)
Stephenson had to be on the list; the question simply being which book. While it's a simple task to throw out The Baroque Cycle (Baroque! And it's three beefy books), it's not that easy to beat Cryptonomicon. Snow Crash centers on the adventures of Hiro Protagonist (really) as he tries to track down and defeat a malicious virus that travels via the metaverse but seriously messes with people's real-world brains. The word metaverse was born here, and the book popularized the use of the term avatar to denote a graphical representation of a person.
The Lord of the Rings
By J.R.R. Tolkien (1954 to 1955)
The touchstone for fantasy freaks everywhere. OK, The Lord of the Rings is actually three books, but it's one work, Peter Jackson notwithstanding. You can cheat a little and just go for The Hobbit, but you'll end up back here anyway. It's impossible to overstate Tolkien's impact on the world of fantasy fiction, as the genre exploded after LoTR landed, and practically every current cultural reference to elves, magic jewelry, dwarves or bows can be traced back to this work, 50 years later.
The Visual Display of Quantitative Information
By Edward Tufte (1992)
Geeks love data. Lots of it. The problem is that too many times the visual representation of this data is utter trash. Enter Edward Tufte, who shows us how to approach the problem intelligently and provides examples — good and bad — of visual information. The book is a pleasure to look at, though the text is fairly sparse. It's a wonderful way to expand your communication toolbox.
By William Gibson (1984)
Maybe you've heard that this is the novel that put cyberspace on the map (though William Gibson coined the term in an earlier work). That alone should get you to read Neuromancer, but if that's not enough, consider that Gibson credits a line from Escape From New York for inspiring the novel. ("You flew the Gulfire over Leningrad, didn't you?") There's no Snake Plissken here, but the main story is about a powerful, yet bifurcated, AI attempting to bring itself to full power. How this all ties together makes for fascinating reading.

This blog post is one in a series detailing President Obama's budget proposal for fiscal year 2013.
In his recently proposed budget for 2013, President Obama reiterated his call for a national commitment to creating an economy "built to last," an economy capable of providing workers and their families with the opportunity to secure the American Dream. A critical component of this national commitment is the proposed creation of an $8 billion Community College to Career Fund aimed at providing training that leads directly to a job for at least 2 million American workers in high-growth and high-demand industries.
Despite improvements in the state's labor market over the past five months, North Carolina's employment levels still lag well behind the national average. While the primary driver for the current jobs crisis is the lack of available job openings for prospective workers—nationally, there is still only one job opening for every four unemployed workers—providing these kinds of training programs can help address these challenges. In the short run, training programs help to prepare workers to take advantage of existing open positions while simultaneously strengthening the overall competitiveness of the state's labor market. Over the long term, research has also shown that post-secondary training is critical for reaching and staying in the middle class.
To improve opportunities for more North Carolinians and support a competitive economy, the President has proposed this new Community College to Career Fund as a way to catalyze the adoption of the most promising practices in worker training and economic development. Using the funding from this program, Community Colleges can partner with businesses to train workers in a range of high-growth and high-demand occupational skill-sets vital to North Carolina's economy, including health care, advanced manufacturing, and others.
Specific provisions aimed at linking job training to specific hiring opportunities include:
Support targeted training and job placement at Community Colleges. The Fund will provide resources for expanding community college-based training programs targeted towards high-demand, high-growth industries and provide workers with the most up-to-date certifications required for working in these industries.
As part of this commitment, the Fund will also support community college programs that provide paid internships with partner firms in targeted, high-demand industries. These industries will allow low-income students to earn course credit while gaining critical job experience and professional contacts in the industries most likely to hire. Best of all, this provision ensures that these student interns receive the compensation due for their work, instead of perpetuating the troubling trend of unpaid internships that allow businesses to skip out on the wages, payroll tax contributions, and legal obligations normally required of employers in exchange for benefitting from the labor of their employees. Instead, the Fund promotes internships that provide students with job experience and the compensation they deserve for their work.
Strengthen customized training programs offered by community colleges. In a further effort to bridge the requirements of business and the skills of workers, the Fund will support partnerships between community colleges and businesses that provide customized training programs tailored to the specific needs of those businesses. These kinds of programs provide a pipeline of trained workers perfectly matched to employers' skill requirements, thus reducing those employers' costs associated with finding, hiring, and training their workforce. In North Carolina, the customized training programs offered by the state's community colleges have been widely recognized as some of the most effective in the nation, and leveraging these Federal funds can help expand these programs and should be combined with assurances that workers can connect to good paying jobs with the opportunity to move ahead
Taken together, these provisions of the President's proposed Community College to Career Fund provide important resources for strengthening North Carolina's labor market and connecting workers to the training that can deliver success for their families and the broader economy.

Instagram is one of the hottest apps for iOS and Android with more than 35 million users combined. The app which did not have any revenue was so popular that Facebook went ahead and purchased it for more than $1 billion. However, the purchase by Facebook has left many users wondering as to whether they should continue using the app or not?
If you are one of those disgruntled users and are looking to stop using the app, here is a easy way to export and download all the Instagram photos you have uploaded till now and back them up to your computer. You can also download and move them to a free online storage service of your choice as well.
Export and Download Instagram Photos to Desktop PC
Instaport is a web service which allows you to export all your Instagram photos and download them to your local PC (they are working on social export soon). To download all your Instagram photos, visit the website at http://instaport.me/ and connect it to your Instagram account.
Once you have done that, you will be able to export and download all your Instagram photos to your computer. You can also select from to only download a smaller number of photos or select photos you have uploaded between certain dates. Additionally, you could also download photos which you have liked and photos with certain tags.
Export, Download or Backup Instagram Photos to Dropbox, Facebook or Flickr
If you are looking to download your Instagram photos to Dropbox, Facebook (ironic ) or Flickr, you can use a very useful service called If This Then That or ifttt for short, which provides you with recipes to automatically perform tasks based on certain triggers or action.
ifttt is a very simple service and users can find recipes which will allow them to backup their Instagram photos to Flickr or save them to Dropbox or upload them to Flickr or Tumblr among other places.
To setup a backup for your Instagram photos, sign up for the ifttt service and visit the recipe page for Instagram at http://ifttt.com/instagram. Once there, you can select the recipe you want to use and setup the required parameters. Once you have done that, just click the "Create task" button to create it. ifttt will then periodically run the task and backup your Instagram photos to your selected service.
Please note: While using ifttt, your older photos may not be backed up. You might have to use the first method to download all your photos and then upload it to your choice of service.

Sohier was amazing because she called me the confirm that she needed to be at my house as early as 6am and this was no problem for her. As I was working in Europe I didn't get to meet her personally but I feel like I have because we have exchanged many texts. My husband mentioned she was lovely and he left her without even the kids being awake. They both have reported to us that Sohier was is great and that is just what I needed to hear as this is the first time I have had to get care like this for my 4 and 6 year old. Thanks Sohier you were fantastic hope we can get you next time.
Claire has been a wonderful babysitter. Both times she immediately engaged with our children and put them at ease. She has a natural and easy way with them and makes them laugh. She is always keen to teach them something new or to help them to see another point of view. She is not just a sitter but someone who takes the time to get to know your children and remembers the smallest details about them. In addition, Claire ensures that she relays all necessary information on your return which I find most valuable. She comes highly recommended by us. My children are 13, 11 and 8.
Louise A was our first ever sitter and we were naturally nervous about leaving our 11year old girl child and 11 month old boy child for the first time. Louise was utterly brilliant. Straight in and playing with the youngest whilst engaging with the eldest about her day at school. Her experience was evident and she completely reassured us within minutes. To add to this mid way through the evening our eldest text to inform that "Louise is EPIC!" High praise indeed. Using Sitters.co.uk was the best decision, we'll definitely be requesting Louise A again very soon. Thank you!
