We absolutely love the desert weather and resort life style and think you will too. We have lived and loved our home for over 13 years and plan to retire here in the Coachella Valley. Currently we are taking an extended leave to another area and have decided to open our home as a vacation rental until our return.
Kelly Binkele purchased this house in 1999
Gated golf course community in the prestigious city of Indian Wells. The bedrooms are over sized each with walk in closets. Admire mountain views from almost every room. The back yard is large and private with a gas fire pit and dining table. Perfect for entertaining or just relaxing by the pool.
Please peruse our reviews from past travelers. You will find that they are all very positive and many guests were so happy they have returned to stay at our property again.
This home is absolutely stunning and was worth every penny spent to vacation here for a weekend. Such a beautiful home in a great location. Between the large bedrooms and the gorgeous backyard, it is the perfect vacation home for sunny Indian Wells. I absolutely give it 5 stars and would recommend this home for a casual weekend!
If you love a large home with all the bells and whistles then this is the place to rent.
What a joy it was to wake up every morning and stumble out of glorious master suite onto covered patio and look at the fantastic view while having coffee. Waterfall running in background adds a great touch to outside pool area as well.
Used the Jacuzzi at least twice a day while relaxing in the well groomed back yard area.
If it got to hot in sun then we hung out under covered area with 6 person table with chairs and cooled off under ceiling fan, this area was our home base for week. Used outside fire pit location as well with umbrella and then had nice fire going using gas fire at night, this was really nice perk as well.
The inside of house is very well laid out and is huge, 46 steps from one side of house to the other in a straight line. All bedrooms are great for staying in with large ensuites in all 3 of them ,the master suite has to be seen to be appreciated. Huge bathroom with jacuzzi tub and 2 person walk in shower.The walk in closet is something to be seen,bed was super comfy while watching 65 inch tv in bed.
This home is well prepared for all of your needs and all you need to bring is clothes and food, lots of basic condiments in cupboards and fridge, kitchen is first class with everything you need for living the good life.Outside gas barbecue works great and we used it everyday. Did I mention the huge bar or lovely dining room area?
Washer and dryer was used also which was nice.
Great neighborhood that is super safe and a joy to walk around at night also.
Leonardo DiCaprio stays around the corner so the area speaks for itself.
I cannot say enough about this property that comes with a great owner to work with and rental prices that are a bargain in the Indian Wells area.
Stop looking and just rent this place.
We will be back for sure.
This was a nice place in quite a nice community. The only reasons I'm giving it a three star rating is because it wasn't overly clean. The kitchen was covered in a thick layer of dust and we kept finding random prices of popcorn in the living room. The sheets on the master bed were so old they had a tear in them. Master bed mattress should be replaced. It is finished. But we just moved to another bed and all was good after that. The owner is very nice. Very easy to get hold of and quite helpful. I have stayed in places priced this high (Christmas rates in Palm Springs) in Maui that were much nicer and cleaner though.
My wife and I had the opportunity to stay here for a long weekend, as a romantic get away! It was/is truly wonderful. Lots of privacy, nice amenities, and close enough to a number of fun restaurants if you want to go out. But a nice enough kitchen to dine by the pool and have cocktails by the fire pit. The owners were very helpful and easy to work with. We hope to have the opportunity to stay there again! This was one of the most memorable spots we have ever stayed at! In a very good way!!!
This home is a true delight with everything you could imagine for a great vacation! The firepit was the central spot for our week.... sunrise, sunset, the moon overhead and fantastic mountain views. It is quiet, peaceful and luxurious ....master suites are separated allowing private space. The family space is expansive and fully equipped....and the yard with pool, spa and previously mentioned fireplace is spectacular. I am working hard to establish dates for a return trip! Thank you so much Kelly!!! she is great to work with as well!
My sister and I rented this home for a month in late summer. We enjoy the dry heat of the desert and found this to be the perfect time to visit. The home was more than we imagined it to be. The pictures, although beautiful, don't do it justice. It is very spacious, yet warm and inviting. We particularly appreciated the decor and the attention to detail in every room. The master suite is "to die for". The outdoor area with the pool was very large, beautiful and private. We never heard or saw a neighbor. The owner was extremely helpful and professional from the beginning to the end of the leasing process. We would HIGHLY recommend this home.

we booked in advance as their website was good and arrived at this hotel during graduation time in dundee when we arrived our first impressions of the hotel were very dissapointing the front door glass was filthy with hand prints all over it and when we entered into the small reception area the first thing we seen was all the dirty laundry bags lying at the bottom of the stairs (7.30pm they must have been left there all day )and a scabby curtain covering a door frame !! we immediately decided we didnt want to stay so my husband went to check the room and the door lock didnt work properly so we turned and left, but now it gets interesting after spending the next hour and a half looking for accomodation and not being able to find anything we returned to the hotel where the gentleman who runs the indian restaurant ajoined to the hotel was more than polite to us, ( the owner was not there but arrived later) on returning to the room we found the room to be clean with fresh nice bedding and a very niice bathroom with new flooring and carpets through out , we had free wifi and everything in the room we required for a comfortable stay. the owner sandra arrived and was really nice and welcoming , all in all it is a quite nice hotel but just needs a we bit of tlc and maybe a bit of reorganising to make sure people are not greeted with dirty laundry !!! I think the cost too is a wee bit high and this was part of the problem for £90 per night you do expect a bit of luxury our main problem was that we run our own B & B and our standards are very high so we expect the same when we go away .

Occurrence of lacrimal gland tissue outside the lacrimal fossa: comparison of clinical and histopathological findings

Purpose: To analyse clinical referral diagnoses and the location of lesions with histologically verified lacrimal gland tissue occurring outside the fossa of the lacrimal gland.
Methods: Sections of lesions excised from areas outside the fossa of the lacrimal gland containing lacrimal gland tissue on histological examination were collected from the files of the Eye Pathology Institute, Copenhagen, Denmark. Specimens spanned a period of 50 years. Sections were re-examined and referral data on location and clinical diagnosis were compared with histological findings.
Results: A total of 120 lesions were collected. Of these, 59 (49%) consisted of prolapsed lacrimal gland. The remaining 61 (51%) lesions contained ectopic lacrimal gland tissue, either as part of a complex choristoma in 38 (32%) cases, or as solitary ectopic lacrimal gland tissue in 23 (19%) cases. The majority (97; 81%) of lesions had been located at the temporal epibulbar conjunctiva and included mainly prolapsed lacrimal gland and complex choristoma. The clinical referral diagnoses covered a wide spectrum of lesions. The most frequent clinical diagnoses were non-specific tumour (35%), non-specific cyst (18%) and dermoid (11%). Of the 61 lesions containing ectopic lacrimal gland tissue, only two had been preoperatively diagnosed as such and only two of the 59 lesions with prolapsed lacrimal gland had been correctly diagnosed.
Conclusions: Prolapsed palpebral lobe of the lacrimal gland was the most common lesion and, as expected, the prime location was the temporal conjunctiva. Despite this location, the referring clinical diagnosis was often wrong or non-specific. Surgeons seem to have been unaware of the various clinical manifestations of extrafossal glandular tissue, particularly when excising lesions in the upper temporal region of the conjunctiva. Surgical intervention in this location may jeopardize the excretory ducts of the lacrimal gland and may consequently lead to dry eye and thus should be avoided when the typical clinical appearance of prolapsed lacrimal gland is encountered.

Almost Gone
Petra Signature Ballet Flats
On trend and en pointe, our favorite flat is back in an array of shades worth falling for, from leopard spots to color-block. The simple silhouette features a rounded toe and scooped sides in suede or leather meticulously handcrafted in Italy. * Padded footbed * Man-made sole; ribbed heel * Suede or leather * Due to the nature of the dyeing process, unique color variations will occur * Handcrafted in Italy
Utility Ankle Pants
Meet our most modern iteration of the chino — utilitarian pants with attitude to spare. We added patch pockets, sewed a double-stitch seam straight down the front, and shortened the length to ankle (with elastic cuffs) to create an on-trend silhouette that will update any top you throw its way. * Zip fly * Back darts * Patch pockets in front; pockets in back * Ankle length with elastic cuffs * 28" inseam * Cotton twill, washed for softness * Imported
Everyday Ponte Knit Dress
Three reasons we love this simple sleeveless dress: a modern fit (that looks great on every body); an easy silhouette (to layer with a denim jacket or wear solo later); and a flattering ponte fabric (to give a knit a little structure). Dressing — done. * Sleeveless * Scoop neckline * Darts at the bust * Front pockets * Above-knee length * Cotton/spandex * Imported
Vintage Diamond Flat-Weave Wool Rug
A textile found in a vintage shop inspired this exquisite rug. With its global-influenced diamond design and marvelous mix of fresh colors, it adds a well-traveled vibe to any room. * Lightweight and handmade of 100% wool * Reverses for twice the wear * Imported Size 1: 2' x 3' Size 2: 2' 6" x 8' (runner) Size 3: 5' x 8' Size 4: 8' x 11' In addition to our regular shipping and processing charges, a Special Handling Charge will be applied to Size 2 ($10) and Sizes 3 and 4 ($20). This amount will show when you add the item to your Shopping Cart. This item cannot be shipped to a PO Box or an APO address. It must ship to a street address within the continental United States.
Johnston & Murphy Meredith Heeled Boots
Count on a heritage brand like Johnston & Murphy, which has dressed many a president since 1850, to craft a classic boot that will look chic season after season. These knee-high boots have feminine lines and a refined heel, and look stunning on. Made from supremely supple glove leather, they are as stylish with slim jeans as with silk dresses. * By Johnston & Murphy * Partial inside zip * 13" shaft * 3" heel * Leather * Padded insole with memory foam * Leather footbed and sole * Imported
Eileen Fisher Organic Linen Drawstring Skirt
A classic A-line skirt loosens up in a lightweight linen weave cut on the bias for great drape. A raw-edge double hem gives an interesting edge. * By Eileen Fisher * Rib-knit waistband with drawcord * Below-knee length * 100% organic linen * Imported
Floral Embroidered Pencil Skirt
We're crazy for this cute-as-a-daisy dimensional floral in pristine white with great dress-up/dress-down potential. Pair it with tees or cashmeres, flats or heels. The silhouette is classic to-the-point pencil, with the lace extending over the hem for a lovely edge. * Clean-finished waistband * Front and back darts * Invisible zipper * Knee length * Cotton * Imported
Olivia Jacket
Make room for another jacket in your rotation — one that's a little longer and less structured. As pants get skinnier, we all agree there's room for a jacket with a bit more coverage, based on a perfect specimen we found in an out-of-the-way French boutique. In Navy or Black to work with every wardrobe possibility. * Notched collar * Slightly dropped shoulders * Single button * Long sleeves * Low-hip length * Wool gabardine * Imported
Amalfi Knit Cover-Up
Inspired by the easy elegance of the Italian coast, our graceful tunic has an A-line silhouette, with the charm of cutout embroidery and beading. * Sleeveless * Gathering under the yoke * Above-knee length; crochet-trimmed hem * Lightweight cotton/modal * Imported
Hanky Panky Lace Short-Sleeve Top
The ultimate lacy layer, to wear over a cami or to peek out from under a deep V-neck. Allover stretch means the fit is fantastically flattering. Scoop neck. Short sleeves. Hip length. Nylon. Unlined. By Hanky Panky. USA.
Garnet Hill Ruched One-Piece Swimsuit
Our bodacious bandeau has grown up into a beautiful one-piece maillot. We dove into the details, adding a bit of ruching at the front and sides (for flattery) and a cache of prints and stripes. * Underwire, with lightweight molded cups * Removable, adjustable strap * Lightweight and silky-luxe nylon/spandex with UPF 50 sun protection * Lined * Imported Runs true to size.
Easy Drawstring-Detail Dress
An au-courant silhouette. A drawstring waist to cinch or not and a flounced hem make this dress a prints-charming for work, weekend, even a wedding. * V-neckline * Darts at the bust * 3/4 sleeves, with vents * Side-seam pockets * Above-knee length * Viscose crêpe; lined bodice * Imported
Sleeveless Silk Shell
A shell that's really come out of its shell, our luxe new entry holds its own over a pencil skirt, but also slips chicly under a cardigan or jacket. We paid attention to the details: the collar sits high on the neck for a ladylike effect; the surplice neckline is tacked down; and the overall drape has a beautiful, blouson effect. * Sleeveless * Hip length; tunic length in back * Silk crêpe de chine * Imported
Cascading Silk Ruffle Skirt
For our flirty and feminine silk skirt, we were meticulous in the placement of every pearl-edged ruffle. The result: a flattering cascading waterfall with slimming vertical seams that starts just low enough on the hips for any top to rest flatly against. * Elastic at back waist * Hidden side zip * Knee length * Silk * Imported
Cashmere Cabled Peplum Sweater
Two of our favorite things — cables and peplums — come together in one of our most charming sweater creations of the season. We took care to make sure the silhouette was super-flattering, with a subtle nip at the waist, and gores that follow the swing of the peplum. Sublimely soft, our cashmere sweaters are colored using only certified eco-friendly dyes. Our Eco-Cashmere colors are made from the natural brown, beige, and white fibers that are left unbleached and undyed. * 100% cashmere * Imported GARNET HILL CASHMERE Garnet Hill cashmere is made from the fine, downy undercoat of Kashmir goats. We create long-term relationships with the herdsmen who raise them on multi-generational family farms in Inner Mongolia, where changeable weather has evolved goats with longer, loftier, softer fibers. Clipped but once a year in spring, these purebreds are treated like pets; never crossbred for higher yields, as some farms do. This produces the highest-quality fibers, which are then washed, carded, and spun into sumptuous two-ply yarns twisted to resist pilling without compromising strength. To achieve our vibrant colors, we use only Oeko-Tex®-certified eco-friendly dyes, with fewer chemicals, less water, and less energy. Eco-Cashmere is made from the natural white, beige, and brown fibers. Undyed and unbleached, they are processed with even less water and zero chemicals. The seams of our sweaters are linked by hand at a maker that sells to only a handful of high-end clothiers in Europe... and to one in the United States: Garnet Hill. From start to finish, every step in our manufacturing process takes place under the glass roof of a world-class, eco-conscious production facility. With proper care, your cashmere sweater will last for years and years.
zinni™ by Garnet Hill Embroidered Drop-Shoulder Sweatshirt
Two of our favorite trends — artisanal and activewear — converge in this stylish sweatshirt. A generous swath of gorgeous embroidery drapes across the neck (and trickles a bit to the back for a handcrafted touch). Dropped shoulders and a banded hem keep the look sporty. * Crew neck * 3/4 sleeves with cuffs * Low-hip length * Cotton/modal/spandex French terry; wicking finish * Imported
Eileen Fisher Organic Cotton Mandarin-Collar Sleeveless Shirt
The details are just right on this white shirt: a mandarin collar and a covered placket update the all-time classic top. And the organic cotton with a beautiful hand means you'll reach for it first. The stepped hem, a modern iteration of the high-low trend, makes it a primo layering piece to peek out from sweaters and jackets of this, or any other, season. * By Eileen Fisher* Sleeveless* Stepped hem with side vents* Hip length* Organic cotton/spandex* Imported
Donald Pliner Classic Pumps
We fell for these feminine pumps in a big way, and here's why: They're crafted from European leather in interesting iterations (embossed leather or calf-hair); they're surprisingly comfortable, the pointed toe is modern and the heel height is walkable; and they're versatile, as chic with rolled-up jeans as frilly frocks. * By Donald Pliner * Padded leather-lined footbed * Leather sole * 4" heel * Due to the dyeing process, subtle variations in color will occur * Spain
Garden-Theme Hooked Wool Rug
Hand-hooked in soft wool, lively gardening motifs bloom in vivid color on fun accent rugs. * Hand-hooked in wool * Cotton backing * Imported Size: 2' x 3' This item cannot be shipped to a PO Box or an APO address. It must ship to a street address within the continental United States.
Embroidered Gauze Blouse by Moon et Miel - Girls
Gorgeous in gauze with carefree tassel ties, this playful top has an elegant edge with contrast-color branch-and-floral embroidery around the collar and along the sleeves. * By Moon et Miel * Relaxed fit * Round neckline, with a split neck and tassel ties * Embroidery around the collar and along the sleeves * Long sleeves * Hip length * 100% cotton * Lined * Imported
Eileen Fisher Plaited Organic Linen & Cotton Sweater
Easygoing and elegant, this boxy sweater has sporty style with pretty piping detail around the hem, cuffs, and dropped shoulders. Crafted in a comfy blend of organic linen and cotton. * By Eileen Fisher * Bateau neck * Long sleeves * Hip length * Organic linen/organic cotton * Imported
Cashmere Duster
Long, lean, and luxe — that's the appeal of this ankle-skimming cardigan crafted from pure cashmere. The open-front style is slim fitting and equally at home over jeans and a tee or a sequined dress. Crossover collar at back neckline adds an unexpected twist. Long sleeves. Rolled edges at sleeves and hem. Imported. GARNET HILL CASHMERE Garnet Hill cashmere is made from the fine, downy undercoat of Kashmir goats. We create long-term relationships with the herdsmen who raise them on multi-generational family farms in Inner Mongolia, where changeable weather has evolved goats with longer, loftier, softer fibers.

The North Face® Pseudio Vest
Layer up for early-morning yoga or late-night movies with this flattering, feminine vest that offers warmth without the weight. The quilted exterior is sueded for extra softness and features a chic stand-up collar. The feel-good features extend to the environment as well: the vest is made with over 68% recycled content (pre- and/or post--consumer sources) to help divert waste from landfills. * By The North Face® * Stand collar with off-center snap * Low-hip length * On-seam hand pockets; internal media pocket * Poly/elastane sueded-knit jersey * Nylon taffeta lining * Poly fill * Imported

About Sheila Byers
Thank you so much for visiting my art website. Purchased art prints and cards will not include the Fine Art America logo that you see on preview.
I have always enjoyed taking photographs, especially landscapes.
In the spring of 2013 I took a class at a community center in Coloured Pencil Drawing. I really enjoyed the class and have been exploring the medium since then. I find it very relaxing, and am pleased with the results so far.
I am now exploring the wonderful medium of acrylics. What an experience! I do have a lot to learn but am having fun playing.
I hope you enjoy browsing my work and encourage you to check back to see my progress.

Baghdad Chafes at Lack of Electricity
Baghdad's continuing electricity shortage creates growing frustration in the restive postwar atmosphere. Summer temperatures reaching 120 degrees contribute to the distress. And consumers violently oppose a plan to equalize distribution of electricity across the country. Restoring 24-hour service to the Iraqi capital may take two years. NPR's Anne Garrels reports.

The Words: The Autobiography of Jean-Paul Sartre
The Words: The Autobiography of Jean-Paul Sartre
Braziller | 1964 | ISBN NA | 258 Pages | File type: PDF OCR | 5.4 mb
Jean-Paul Sartre's famous autobiography of his first ten years has been widely compared to Rousseau's Confessions. Written when he was fifty-nine years old, The Words is a masterpiece of self-analysis. Sartre the philosopher, novelist and playwright brings to his own childhood the same rigor of honesty and insight he applied so brilliantly to other authors. Born into a gentle, book-loving family and raised by a widowed mother and doting grandparents, he had a childhood which might be described as one long love affair with the printed word. Ultimately, this book explores and evaluates the whole use of books and language in human experience.

Product Description
"Part cultural critique and part practical guide to the fledgling collaborative consumption market, the book provides a wealth of information for consumers looking to redefine their relationships with both the things they use and the communities they live in." (—Publishers Weekly)
"Collaborative consumption is an ideal signalling device for an economy based on electronic brands and ever-changing fashions." (—The Economist)
"This is an inspiring book about innovating entrepreneurs in an economy where people are seeking ways to connect with each other- through business." (—Delta Sky)
"The latest buzzword and trend is defining how we do business in the new millennium" (—Vogue Australia)
"[T]he authors have laid out the social and economic logic for collaborative consumption with such religious fervour and zeal that one can't help but become converted to this new world order." (—Edwards Magazine Bookclub)
"The authors give hundreds of examples of how people are finding new ways to share and exchange value…[T]he book is packed with some pretty interesting statistics…If you're unaware of what's happening in the peer-to-peer exchange space, this book will quickly bring you up to speed." (—Emergent by Design)
"What can the next wave of collaborative marketplaces look like? Botsman and Rogers answer this question in a highly readable and persuasive way. Anyone interested in the business opportunities and social power of collaboration should consider reading this book." (—Tony Hsieh, author of Delivering Happiness and CEO of Zappos.com, Inc.)
"People are normally trustworthy and generous, and the Internet brings the good out far more than the bad. We're seeing an explosion of modest businesses where people help each other out via the Net, and What's Mine is Yours tells you what's going on, and inspires more of the same." (—Craig Newmark, founder of craigslist)
"Rachel Botsman and Roo Rogers have offered a convincing, charming and in every sense collaborative account of how the new networks that have disrupted our lives are also likely to alter them, and entirely for our good." (—Adam Gopnik, author of Paris to the Moon and Through the Children's Gate)
"Amidst a thousand tirades against the excesses and waste of consumer society, What's Mine Is Yours offers us something genuinely new and invigorating: a way out. Anyone interested in the emerging economics and culture of collaboration will want to read this profoundly hopeful book." (—Steven Johnson, author of The Invention of Air and The Ghost Map)
"[F]ull of impressive examples of entrepreneurs establishing new markets. Ultimately, the authors' optimism is infectious." (—The Australian)
From the Back Cover
The recent changes in our economic landscape have notably exposed and intensified a phenomenon: an explosion in sharing, bartering, lending, trading, renting, gifting, and swapping. From enormous marketplaces such as eBay and craigslist to emerging sectors such as peer-to-peer lending (Zopa) and car sharing (Zipcar), Collaborative Consumption is disrupting outdated modes of business and reinventing not only what we consume, but how we consume.
While ranging enormously in scale and purpose, these companies and organizations are redefining how goods and services are exchanged, valued, and created—in areas asdiverse as finance and travel, agriculture and technology, education and retail. Traveling among global entrepreneurs and pioneers and exploring rising ventures as well as established companies adapting to these opportunities, the authors outline in bold and imaginative ways how Collaborative Consumption may very well change the world.See all Product Description

Feeling pinched for money? Hate waste? Want to get to know more of your neighbors? These are just some of the reasons that might motivate you to discover fresh methods to save and to share that can also enrich your life - with others.
From bartering to exchanging, fixing, giving away, renting or more efficiently using what you have, this book is the most complete (and lively) resource I've found. You'll not only read about the better-known businesses and organizations that are tapping into "collaborative consumption" like zipcar and Meetup but many lesser-known groups and methods that you might join or reinvent to adapt to your situation or interest.
They write, "The collaboration at the heart of Collaborative Consumption may be local and face-to-face, or it may use the Internet to connect, combine, form groups, and find something or someone to create "many to many" peer-to-peer interactions. Simply put, people are sharing again with their community - be it an office, a neighborhood, an apartment building, a school, or a Facebook network. But the sharing and collaboration are happening in ways and at a scale never before possible, creating a culture and economy of What's Mine is Yours."
Collaborative Consumption appears in three "systems" suggest the authors, product service systems, redistribution markets and collaborative lifestyles. The underlying principles that enable them are idling capacity, critical mass, belief in the commons and trust between strangers.
In keeping with a book on collaboration the authors seemingly productively co-wrote this book. You can read about the factors in our relatively recent history that caused Americans to shop as a hobby, often beyond our mean or needs and throw away or store our extra stuff (Americans average more than four credit cards per person while Europeans get by with 0.23 per person)- or you can jump to the many interesting characters, services, methods and stories in the rise of our collaborative consumption.
Some of my favorite stories are about business people who made dramatic changes on how they operated their business such as Ray Anderson who had a "conversion experience" after reading my friend Paul Hawken's book, The Ecology of Commerce The Ecology of Commerce: A Declaration of Sustainability, and transformed his firm, "the world's largest commercial carpet company" into "the first fully sustainable industrial enterprise." There are many fascinating back stories on how company founders backed into starting their business after personally seeing a need to reduce waste or save money - or others desire to share.
As someone who has had a long interest in collaboration I was delighted to learn how many more clever methods people are inventing to get along well on less, often through the use of collaborative technology. For example, I've been a longtime fan and user of freecyle, Zipcar, Netflix and Zilok (and was building up the nerve to try CouchSurfing or Airbnb) yet I'd not heard of many of the others including Snapgoods, SwapTree, SmartBike, TechShop, HearPlanet, iLetYou, SolarCity, UsedCardboardBoxes or OurGoods.
Perhaps like me, you'll finish this book convinced that sharing in all its forms is a major trend - and not just for the frugal or the greenies. Further you'll have specific ideas about why and how to share, exchange, rent, swap or ensure that the things you no longer want get into the hands of those who do. After you've read this book visit Shareable and see more stories to inspire you about how we are becoming more inventive about sharing the more we connect with each other about it. Relatedly, see Clay Shirky's Cognitive SurplusCognitive Surplus: Creativity and Generosity in a Connected Age, Kevin Kelly's What Technology WantsWhat Technology Wants, Peter Block's The Abundant CommunityThe Abundant Community: Awakening the Power of Families and Neighborhoods and Delivering Happiness Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion, and Purpose
The book is nicely structured and reads well, with an anecdotal style which clearly shows the huge amount of research that went into the project, drawing on an impressive range of case studies to make a powerful argument.
If the book has one failing it may be that, like so many 'business books', some people may overlook it as not for them. This would be a great pity, as the issues it deals with are critical for all of us - whether as inspiration for a collaborative dot com start up, or to help us navigated the increasing array of traded, swapped and shared products and services around us.
Buy it. Read it. Pass it on.
What's Mine is Yours sums up the new universe of what authors Rachel Botsman and Roo Rogers term "collaborative consumption". The book, like the movement it describes, is a game changer, as the authors connect the dots and show how key systems (like redistribution markets and collaborative lifestyles), principles (like critical mass and belief in the commons), and drivers (like environmental and cost concerns) have all matured to the point where collaborative consumption is not only viable but may soon supplant traditional buy, use and discard consumption altogether.
I would suggest that you go buy the book, but in the spirit of its message, I implore you to barter or swap for the book through one of the many exchange markets available today.
If not, you may find yourself left behind.
"What's Mine is Yours. The Rise of Collaborative Consumption" is an important new book by Rachel Botsman and Roo Rogers. It explains how the extraordinary disruption caused by the communications revolution is spawning an explosion in sharing, bartering, lending, trading, renting, gifting and swapping.
Sites like Couchsurfing.com, which co-ordinates swaps of 'couch' accommodation for visitors and travelers has become the third most visited travel site in the world.
Car-sharing services like Zipcar saw their membership triple in 2009, and it is estimated that by 2015, 4.4 million people in North America and 5.5 million in Europe will belong to similar services.
People are realising that they don't have to own everything themselves, and that reaching out to others and sharing saves them money, makes them feel good and makes them new friends.
It meets a fundamental human need for connection and sharing.
Even mega consumer brands like Nike are shifting their brand focus and advertising away from products and towards building collaborative communities, investing in nonmedia social hubs like NikePlus, where runners around the world post runnning routes, map their runs, offer advice and encourage one another. It is estimated that Nike is spending 55 per cent less on traditional advertising and celebrity endorsements than it did ten years ago.
So why is this change occurring? Botsman and Roo cite a number of reasons, one of which is that it
feeds what sociologist Marilynn Brewer calls our 'social self', the part of us that seeks connection and belonging.
People have a need to connect. We are essentially social beings. And after 60 years of what author Clay Shirky terms one-way media communication (television to us) the internet has given back some choice to consumers - and they're taking it.
Botsman and Roo posit that in 10 years people won't be judging each other by their credit rating but by their 'reputation rating' - what they give to, what they share and in what they participate. This will be a radical departure from the era of defining ourselves by the brands we display and the houses we live in.
There exists a huge desire for more meaning and connection in life.
Now is the time.
This is the most important book since "What would Google do?" and Clay Shirky's "Cognitive Surplus". Read it or miss out on the next big thing.

This sauce is amazing. I was down at the shops and wanted to try something a little different and thought that bacon and mushrooms would go well in a sauce. This recipe does wonders for the mushrooms and bacon. Love it!!!!!
We made a double recipe to go over pasta and it was really lovely. Quick and simple to make too. Would be great over steak or chicken as Jan suggests.
I made this to go over chicken schnitzel, very yummy even DH commented, a keeper for sure! Thanks Jan!
I feel honoured to be the first reviewer of something that I think will be hugely popular here on Zaar. We LOVED it! I loved the fact that it was so quick and easy and also that it was something all of us were able to eat. I am not too keen on Thyme so used fresh Tarragon instead which worked really well. Thanks so much Jan - this is something that I will be cooking often!

A graduate of the University of Arkansas-Little Rock after an honorable discharge from the U.S. Air Force, he is a past president and member of the Football Writers Association of America, member of the U.S. Basketball Writers Association, past president and current executive committee and board member of the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame, and voter for the Heisman Trophy.
Early days chaotic, productive for Bielema
Bret Bielema speaks to fans during a timeout at Bud Walton Arena.
LITTLE ROCK In just two weeks, the Arkansas Razorbacks will start spring football, and to say the days between Bret Bielema's hiring as the head coach until now have been chaotic would be a gross understatement.
He hit the ground running back in December, racing down recruiting trails, hiring a staff, speaking to groups and organizations and getting a heavy dose of everything Razorbacks on the fly.
Many who responded with "Who?" the day Bielema was hired are now talking about competing with Alabama and LSU.
It was interesting to note how large the crowd was to hear about recruiting the night Bielema and his staff appeared in North Little Rock, the day after national signing day, and to see who was standing in the middle of the photo in the next day's paper.
Ed Daniel, a close friend, is one of those brilliant tax attorneys who has a multitude of opinions.
Once a great Razorbacks fan, he had become dissatisfied during the Houston Nutt days and was never quite sure Bobby Petrino was a long-term answer.
There he was, though, wearing a Razorbacks windbreaker, at a Razorbacks function, and the proof was in the picture, which is now framed and sits on his desk.
Daniel is just one of many who are willing to give the new coach a chance, but everyone needs to understand if there had been a stockpile of great players, John L. Smith might still be the coach.
The program isn't bankrupt of talent, but no one is going to pick the Razorbacks to finish higher than fourth or fifth in the SEC West next year, and it wouldn't be a surprise if they were chosen last by the media.
Bielema knew that when he took the job, and he's never looked back.
He assembled what might be the best staff in many, many years, thanks in large part to Athletic Director Jeff Long understanding the issues a head coach faces today in getting and keeping a good staff.
Assistant coaches' salaries are finally on the rise, especially in the SEC where at least one defensive coordinator, LSU's John Chavez, makes $1 million a year.
Bielema already had ideas for his staff before the plane landed in Fayetteville.
A couple of things that have become apparent is he has a plan and he is organized. Of course, that is not exclusive territory for Nick Saban or Bobby Petrino, who incidentally recently invited many of the Razorbacks boosters who attended his fantasy camp to come to Western Kentucky for a camp.
Most who received the letter were insulted. It wasn't signed; Petrino's signature was stamped.
Bielema doesn't appear to be the type to rubber-stamp anything. He's a hands-on leader.
That was apparent by his tireless approach to recruiting, and somehow he and his staff came away with the 26thranked signing class in America. At one time, the class was ranked 54th.
It was an outstanding job, considering the short time Bielema and his staff had to put together a list of players, but it will take much better than being the 26th-ranked class to compete with Alabama, LSU, Florida, Georgia and even Ole Miss.
It seems a foregone conclusion that, given more time, the classes will only improve.
Perhaps the most important thing Bielema has done, though, is calm the seas of the fan base which was very unhappy with last year's results.
From the BCS Sugar Bowl to the Cotton Bowl and then dropping to the toilet bowl did not sit well with many of boosters who are counted on for the donations that keep the entire Razorbacks program independent of state funds.
Now, in just two weeks, the Razorbacks Nation will get their first glimpse of how Bielema operates day to day, and the time has flown in a positive way since he arrived on campus.

Greendale knocks off Pius, just misses against Pirates
Greendale begins tourney with Cudahy
After knocking off one of the Woodland Conference's better teams in Pius XI on Feb. 5, the Greendale boys basketball team nearly pulled off another big victory Friday night.
The Panthers dropped a 69-66 decision to Pewaukee, staying with the Pirates for the whole game and missing an attempt at a tying 3-pointer at the buzzer.
The split left them at 7-9 in the Woodland West Division and 8-13 overall going into the regular-season finale Tuesday against New Berlin West.
Greendale begins WIAA Division 2 tournament play at 7 p.m. Tuesday at home against Cudahy. The Panthers beat the Packers, 68-42, back in early December.
The victory over Pius XI would rate as one of the biggest of the season, as the Popes are traditional powers and routed Greendale, 59-31, in the first meeting.
"That was outstanding," head coach Ryan Johnsen said. "We lost by 20 points to them the first time, but our kids came back and worked hard. Offensively, we ran our stuff well and defensively, we were able to get stops."
Jordan Perez led the way with 25 points and 12 rebounds, while David Pulizos added 11 points, Nick Dalton nine points and Josh Michaels seven.
"Michaels had a tremendous first half," Johnsen said. "Michaels, Dalton and Pulizos have come along this year, and we're at our best when other people score. Jordan always will get his points."
Just as important as the offense, though, was the defense played by Cameron Rowe and Mitchell Brees on Donovan Jackson of Pius, who managed only 10 points.
Greendale came close to beating Pewaukee on Friday but fell just short. Perez tallied 15 points and Michaels 13 points.

It was without a doubt one of the best B&B stays we've had. The room was modern and tastefully decorated. The double bed had a very good mattress and we slept like babies. The bathroom although not ensuite was just outside our room door and was big, clean and modern. The hosts Bill/Robert were extremely helpful and nice. Bill even made fresh cinnamon rolls for breakfast when we were there. Breakfast was great and we were lucky enough to have good weather so that we could have it in the balcony of our room.
It's only one room available for stay so it's great if you like a quiet, home-like experience, with no worries about other messy or noisy guests. Exactly like if you stayed over at a friend's place but with excellent service ;-) Highly recommended. All thumbs up!
