Getting Started With Your Knitting Odyssey

Many women before and up to now are inclined in art. They are too imaginative and creative in terms of some productive activities like painting, drawing, sketching and other handcrafting work like wooden or marble handicrafts, silk painting, bags handicrafts and many more. There are too many handcrafts that women are engaging of. Knitting is one of the best examples of handcrafting. One of the main reasons why they are attached to this craft is because the blend of the vibrant colors of the yarn is really attractive to the eyes. They have these multi and solid color hand dyed and bright and light colors that fits your taste and solitary colors. It also creates a fashion statement, which is very important to most of them. It can describe your personality. However, for females who have not yet tried knitting clothes, scarves, hat, towels, bags or anything that can knit, there are a few things you have to learn.

Yard Care Yahoo!

Hi there everybody, let's get excited about yard care. No? Let's take a stern and carefully considered look at yard care, topsoil prices, and weed control then. There are a number of ways that you can have your lawn maintained throughout the year, which includes hiring a lawn care service so that your lawn will be cared for while you take care of other things. Things like cooking hamburgers and being able to concentrate completely on them not being dropped. What specifically you can do to care for your lawn is: a weekly grass cutting, fertilization, rolling, aeration, and specialist functions such as pH balancing, weed control application, and applications of nematode to control European Chafer beetles and white grubs.

Grooveshark Makes Up With Google - Is It Too Little Too Late?

After a 16-month ban, controversial music streaming service Grooveshark is back on Google's Android platform. The shift represents a change of luck for the beleaguered company, who eagerly announced the news via email last night. Are things finally looking up for Grooveshark, or has the streaming music market moved on without it? 

The company apparently managed to convince Google that any piracy being committed in its name was done via third-party "rogue apps," which let users do less legally defensible thing like actually download the streaming tracks. Grooveshark says it worked with Google have such apps removed.

It's an interesting move for Google to make, since the search giant has been working to ingratiate itself iwth content owners, even going so far as to factor  copyright complaints into its search algorithms.

But Grooveshark still faces a decidedly uphill battle for longterm viability, at least in its current form. For one thing, it's being sued by all four major music labels in the U.S., each one claiming that Grooveshark encourages copyright infringement. Even though users can't download music directly from Grooveshark (without third party hacks, apps or plugins), the labels say that the site's model of allowing people to upload their collections and allow others to stream them violates copyright law. Grooveshark is also accused of actively encouraging users to upload infringing content, a charge the company denies. It was these copyright concerns that led both Google and Apple to pull the plug on the service's mobile apps.

Meanwhile, label-embraced streaming services like Rdio and Spotify are growing in popularity by the week. Those services have issues of their own (queasy indie artists and debates about royalty payouts), but they stand on firm legal ground and enjoy tight integrations with Facebook, which puts their products in front of millions of eyeballs. Even if it survives litigation unscathed, Grooveshark faces an increasingly competitive marketplace for streaming music.

"At the end of the day we are trying to build a business that gets the consumers to pay for music and not only expand the revenue pie but optimize the cost side of the label equation," Grooveshark PR Director Danika Azzarelli told ReadWriteWeb. "Getting the majority of the recorded music business to see the execution of our vision is one of our biggest challenges."

Then there's the issue of its exclusion from the biggest smartphone platforms in the world. Google booted the app from Android in April of last year, following in the footsteps of Apple, who yanked it from the official iOS App Store two summers ago (it's still available to jailbreakers). Grooveshark even saw its official Facebook page briefly deactivated due to a copyright-related takedown notice, although it was quickly restored.

To cope with its app store bans, Grooveshark developed its own in-browser Web app using HTML5. As Facebook's recent reversal on the HTML5 showed, the technology is not quite flawless yet. But for smartphone users addicted to Grooveshark's brand of all-you-can-stream music, the mobile-friendly design is a pretty good compromise in the absence of native apps. 

Now that Grooveshark is back on Android, the company is planning to revisit the issue with Apple, which pulled the app in response to copyright complaints made by Universal Music Group. There's no timeline on that yet, but users can expect an update on that front "very soon," Azzarelli said.

UPDATE: On Friday August 31, the Grooveshark app was again pulled from Google Play. We'll update this story as more information becomes available.
