A Touch of Humor
When chemical ecologist Walter Leal, professor of entomology at the University of California, Davis, was elected to the prestigious Brazilian Academy of Sciences, his lab members donned matching t-shirts--t-shirts with a touch of humor and a dose of humility.
On the front: "I did the work."
On the back: "And Walter Leal got in the Academy."
It was his idea and he purchased the t-shirts.
Leal, a native of Brazil, will be honored at a ceremony on May 7 in Rio de Janeiro.
"Let me say that your election to the Brazilian Academy of Sciences is a well-deserved recognition for your accomplishments as a distinguished scientist in your field of studies, entomology, and also for the very important role you have been playing in promoting cooperation among Brazilian and U.S .universities and, through those arrangements, fostering scientific development in our country," said Ambassador Eduardo Prisco of the Brazilian Consulate in San Francisco.
Leal, a native of Brazil, is a liaison with UC Davis and the Brazil government's Scientific Mobility Program, launched to exchange graduate and undergraduate students.
The U.S. currently hosts the largest number of students participating in the Brazil government's Scientific Mobility Program, according to the Institute of International Education, and UC Davis leads the nation, hosting more than 30 Brazilian undergraduate scholarship students. Leal is also involved in the Brazilian/UC Davis student exchange with the Federal Agency for Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education (CAPES) and the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) grants for research related to Brazil.
A pioneer in the field of insect communication and on the cutting edge of research, Leal employs innovative approaches to insect olfaction problems. His work examines how insects detect smells, communicate with their species, detect host and non-host plants, and detect prey. Leal has designed and synthesized complex pheromones from many insects, including scarab beetles, true bugs, longhorn beetles and the citrus leafminer. He and his lab discovered the secret mode of the insect repellent DEET.
Leal, educated in Brazil and Japan, joined the UC Davis Department of Entomology in 2000. He holds a doctorate in applied biochemistry from Tsukuba University, Japan, and also earned degrees in chemical engineering and agricultural chemistry.
You'll be hearing much more of Walter Leal. Active in national and international entomological circles, the UC Davis professor is serving as co-chair of the International Congress of Entomology (ICE) conference, to be hosted by the Entomological Society of America (ESA) Sept. 25-30, 2016 in Orlando, Florida.
His honors and awards are many. He is a Fellow of the ESA, the Royal Entomological Society, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He served as president of the International Society of Chemical Ecology (ISCE). Among his awards: the ISCE Silver Medal, and awards from ESA and scientific societies in Japan and Brazil.

Amazing Project
UC Davis entomology graduate student Kevin Rayne Cloonan not only won a coveted award for his research presentation at the 60th meeting of the Entomological Society of America in Knoxville, Tenn., but it may prove to be a boon to California almond growers.
Cloonan, who is studying for his master's degree with chemical ecologist Walter Leal, professor of entomology, won a second-place award for his insect repellent research on the navel orangeworm (NOW), a major pest of California's almond industry.
His talk was part of the 10-minute graduate student presentations.
Cloonan presented his paper on "Potential Oviposition Repellent for the Navel Orangeworm (Amyelois transitella) in Almond Orchards of Central California." For his research, he tested 20 broad spectrum insect repellents as potential oviposition repellents. Bedoukian Research Inc. developed the repellents.
Cloonan's work involved electrophysiological recordings, laboratory behavioral assays, and a field behavioral assay. He first used electroantennogram (EAG) assays to identify which of those 20 repellents the female antennae could detect. Of the 20 repellents, three showed significant EAG responses, he said.
In testing the oviposition repellency under laboratory conditions with laboratory populations, he found that two of the three repellents showed significantly reduced oviposition; they were then tested with field populations in almond orchards in Arbuckle.
"One especially looks very promising," said Cloonan, adding "I couldn't have done this research without the support and help of Dr. Leal and everyone in the Leal lab."
Cloonan has been asked to present a poster at the Almond Board of California conference, to be held Dec. 11-13 at the Sacramento Convention Center.
At the ESA meeting, Cloonan's presentation was one of 14 vying for top honors in the Plant-Insect Ecosytems (P-IE) Section. The P-IE Section includes behavioral, ecological, and evolutionary relationships in natural landscapes, as well as integrated pest management (IPM) in agriculture, horticulture, forests, and lawn and garden. The section also deals with aspects of crop protection, host-plant response, plant pathology/vectors, pollination, biological control, microbial control, and others.
Cloonan, who plans to pursue his doctorate in entomology, is a graduate of the University of Idaho, with a bachelor's degree in entomology.
Almonds are big business in California and getting bigger.
The National Agricultural Statistics Service forecasts California's 2012 almond crop at a record-breaking 2.10 billion meat pounds, valued at approximately $3 billion. Eighty-percent of the global supply of almonds is grown in California, and about 70 percent of California's crop is marketed overseas.
Honey bees from all over the country are trucked to California to pollinate the state's 780,000 acres of almonds, which begin blooming in mid-February, around Valentine's Day. Two bee colonies are required to pollinate each acre--and that's a lot of bees!

Equivalent to an Olympic Gold Medal
Walter Leal isn't participating in the Olympics, but he medaled just the same.
It was not for athletic prowess, but for scholarly achievements—the scientific equivalent of an international gold medal.
Leal, a chemical ecologist and a professor and former chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology, is the recipient of the coveted Silver Medal, the highest award given by the International Society of Chemical Ecology (ISCE).
A native of Brazil and educated in Brazil and Japan, Leal researches how insects detect smells and communicate within their species. He is "one of the foremost authorities on the integration of chemical ecology with the molecular, biochemical and physiological interactions among insects and between insects and plants," said chemical ecologist Coby Schal, professor at North Carolina State University, who nominated him for the award.
Bruce Hammock, UC Davis distinguished professor of entomology, wrote a letter of support, praising Leal for "his outstanding career achievements and excellence in moving chemical ecology forward." Hammock described him as "a world-renowned chemical ecologist, a pioneer in the field of insect olfaction, and on the cutting edge of research."
ICSE president Paulo H. G. Zarvin of the Federal University of Parana, Brazil announced the award July 26 at the 28th annual ISCE annual meeting, held in Lithuania. It will be presented at the ISCE's 29th annual meeting, set Aug. 19-22, 2013 in Melbourne, Australia.
Declaring Leal's program, launched in 1990, as "one of the best in the world," Schal lauded Leal as "one of the most energetic and collaborative scientists I know."
"Chemical signaling is fundamental to all life forms, including microbes, plants and animals," Schal said," and chemical cues allow animals to appraise their environment; to detect food, toxins, prey, predators and pathogens; to identify kin; and to evaluate and base mate choice decisions of potential reproductive partners."
"Walter's research, in two decades, has addressed almost every aspect of chemical ecology," Schal said. That includes "the semiochemistry of mites, thrips, scarabs, bugs, aphids, cockroaches, moths, wasps and plants."
Leal, who joined the UC Davis faculty in 2000, has designed and synthesized complex pheromones from many insects, including scarab beetles, true bugs, longhorn beetles and the citrus leafminer. He identified the complex sex pheromone system of the naval orangeworm, a key agricultural pest responsible for multi-million crop damage annually in California. The sex pheromones he discovered are now being deployed in the agricultural field to disrupt chemical communication and control the navel orangeworm population through the environmentally friendly technique of mating disruption.
Leal and his lab discovered DEET's mode of action, something that had puzzled and eluded scientists for half a century. Scientists long surmised that DEET, patented by the U.S. Army in 1946, works by masking the smell of the host, or jamming the insect's senses, thus interfering with its ability to locate a host. Not so: in groundbreaking research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), the Leal lab found that mosquitoes can indeed smell the chemical repellent but they dislike it so they avoid it.
Leal is one of only 23 scientists to receive the ISCE Silver Medal since its inception in 1986. Two other University of California scientists also won the award: Dave Wood of UC Berkeley in 2001 and Ring Cardé of UC Riverside in 2009.

Royalty Plus
Call it a case of royalty plus.
UC Davis chemical ecologist Walter Leal, professor and former chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology, has just received a double honor. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society and he received a coveted award from his native Brazil.
First the royalty...It's an honor just to be nominated for the Fellow award. Among the imminent scientists who've received the award: Charles Darwin.
The Royal Entomological Society, based in London, disseminates information about insects and strives to improve communication among entomologists at the national and international level. Its history is long and rich. Founded in London in 1833, it is a successor to a number of short-lived societies dating back to 1745.
The origin of the "royalty?" name? In 1885 Queen Victoria granted a Royal Charter to the society. In the centennial year of 1933, King George V added the word "Royal" to the title.
The other honor? The coveted award, the 2nd National Award of Chemical Ecology, that Leal received in Brazil is linked closely to two people who have influenced him in his academic career and everyday life.
The award memorializes his former mentor, Professor Jose Tercio Barbosa, a pioneer in the field of chemical ecology. As part of the award, Leal received a book on the Museum of Contemporary Art Niteroi signed by internationally known Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer.
Niemeyer, now a "young" 104 years old, designed the United Nations' headquarters in New York City, and many public buildings in Brazil, including the Cathedral of Brasilia, the Museum of Modern Art of Caracas and the Niterói Contemporary Art Museum, Rio de Janeiro.
"I grew up hearing about the wonderful work of Oscar Niemeyer, but never even imagined that one day I would get his autograph," Leal said. "It is sad, however, that it happened in part because Professor Tercio, a pioneer in the field of chemical ecology, passed away prematurely. Earlier on, Tercio introduced me to the scientific community in Brazil."
"Niemeyer is one of the two most famous contemporary Brazilians," Leal said. "The other is Pelé whom I've known since my years of working as a radio sportscaster to help fund my college education."
The path from sportscaster to chemical ecologist was a long one. Today Leal focuses his research on how insects detect smells, communicate with their species, detect host and non-host plants, and detect prey. For his innovative approaches to insect olfaction problems, the Entomological Society of America named him the 2011 recipient of Entomological Society of America's Nan-Yao Su Award for Innovation and Creativity in Entomology.

A Blue Ribbon Day and a Sense of Humor
It's important to have a sense of humor, especially in the academic world when seriousness almost always shades levity.
But wait...
Take chemical ecologist Walter Leal, professor and former chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology, who received the Entomological Society of America's Nan-Yao Su Award for Innovation and Creativity in Entomology this week.
It's an award given to an ESA member who is able to demonstrate, through his/her projects or accomplishments, an ability to identify problems and develop creative, alternative solutions that significantly impact entomology.
Leal, a pioneer in the field of insect communication and on the cutting edge of research, uses innovative approaches to solve insect olfaction problems. Basically, his work examines how insects detect smells, communicate with their species, detect host and non-host plants, and detect prey.
The UC Davis professor has designed and synthesized complex pheromones from many insects, including scarab beetles, true bugs, longhorn beetles and the citrus leafminer. He and his lab discovered the secret mode of the insect repellent DEET.
At the ESA awards session, Leal first stepped on stage to receive the Fellow awards of Anthony James of UC Irvine and James R. Carey of UC Davis, who were unable to attend. (Leal also is a Fellow, a prestigious award given annually to only 10 members--or up to 10 members--of the 6000-member society).
Then it was time for the Nan-Yao Su Award presentation.
Leal's third trip to the stage did not go unnoticed. ESA vice president Grayson Brown of the University of Kentucky, quipped: "That's how Walter gets his exercise--by picking up awards."
Yale University professor John Carlson suggested that Leal might be too tired to get the Nan-Yao Su Award Award. "I will go get his," said Carlson, as the audience burst into an uproarious applause.
A dose of humor also touched Leal's name badge. Beneath the lettering, "Dr. Walter S. Leal" and his blue Fellow ribbon, trailed two other ribbons: "Official Something," "Somebody" and "Workaholic."

Rising energy demand in Southeast Asia could contribute to a significant growth in nuclear power over the coming decades. As states invest in new nuclear power programs, they must also simultaneously develop indigenous expertise to ensure that these programs are safe and effective as well as compliant with international nonproliferation and safeguards obligations.
The International Nuclear Safeguards and Engagement Program (INSEP), a program within the Office of Nonproliferation and International Security at NNSA, works with countries that are developing nuclear programs build the safeguards expertise needed to ensure that new energy initiatives are securely operated. Last month, an INSEP team traveled to Malaysia to participate in an International Workshop on Safeguards Curriculum Development at the National University of Malaysia (UKM). The event brought together experts from Malaysia, the Republic of Korea and the United States to support UKM with the development of a Safeguards, Safety and Security Program. While the workshop focused on the creation of an indigenous safeguards education program specifically for Malaysia, it also supported the shared goal of the United States and Republic of Korea to develop the next generation of safeguards experts around the world.
Sandia Site Office Manager Patty Wagner has announced that she will be retiring effective Feb. 3, 2012 after 31 years of federal service.
As Sandia Site Office manager, she was responsible for overseeing the $2.5 billion contract for Sandia National Laboratories and ensuring the safe and secure operations of the laboratories. From December 2003 to January 2004, she was the lead negotiator on the Sandia contract, which includes innovative new contracting language. In 2008, she led the NNSA's Acquisition Strategy for NNSA's production missions resulting in a decision to conduct a competition resulting in a single contract for the management of the Y-12 National Security Complex and the Pantex Plant, with an option for the phase-in of Tritium Operations performed at the Savannah River Site. While serving as the Sandia Site Office manager, she also served as the chair of the Source Evaluation Board responsible for the $1.7 billion nuclear production contract competition.
Prior to coming to the Sandia Site Office, she joined the former DOE/NNSA Albuquerque Operations Office in January 1997 where she served as the assistant manager for Business Operations and in February 2002 was promoted to the deputy manager for Business & Administration and managed approximately 300 Federal personnel. She began working for DOE in 1995 as the chief of staff at the Rocky Flats Field Office in Golden, Colo. Prior to working for DOE, she worked for the Resolution Trust Corporation in Denver from June 1991 to April 1995. She held other senior management positions with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Division of Liquidation dating back to April 1984. Her federal career began in 1978 as a bank examiner for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
She is the recipient of two Presidential Rank Awards reserved for the top senior executives in government who demonstrate exceptional service over an extended period of time. She was awarded the meritorious level in 2001, an award reserved for the top 5 percent of senior executives and the distinguished level in 2008, an award reserved for the top 1 percent of senior executives. She holds a bachelor's degree in business administration from New Mexico State University. A Santa Fe native, she has lived in Texas, Colorado, and presently resides in Albuquerque, N.M.
Don Cook, NNSA's Deputy Administrator for Defense Programs, toured Y-12's analytical chemistry labs during a visit to Y-12 National Security Complex yesterday.
Y-12's analytical chemistry work is highly technical and essential for worker safety, the nation's nuclear deterrent, and global nuclear nonproliferation efforts.
Cook toured Building 9995 to see Y-12's analytical chemistry capabilities first-hand. The building dates to the 1940s and has been expanded and retrofitted for its current work. Cook also discussed how a portion of the lab's function will be re-established in less space with new equipment in the new Uranium Processing Facility (UPF).
Plant Lab Manager Tom Oatts, at right, discusses lab operations with (from left) Steve Goodrum, NNSA's assistant deputy administrator for Stockpile Management; John Gertsen, B&W vice president of UPF programs; Dan Hoag, acting Y-12 site manager; and Cook.
The first four racks of NNSA's Sequoia Supercomputer have arrived at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Sequoia, a 20 petaflops (quadrillion floating operations per second) system based on BlueGene technology, will help continue to ensure the safety and reliability of the nation's aging nuclear deterrent. Sequoia will also help maintain U.S. leadership in high performance computing, promote scientific discovery and advance President Obama's nuclear security agenda.
Deliveries of the system will continue through April 2012. Integration will take place in phases with final acceptance of the 96-rack system scheduled for September 2012.
By fall Sequoia is expected to be the most powerful supercomputer in the world and will be approximately twice as fast as today's most powerful system. To put this into perspective, if each of the 6.7 billion people on earth had a hand calculator and worked together on a calculation 24 hours per day, 365 days a year, it would take 320 years to do what Sequoia will do in one hour.
Robert "Dino" Herrera has been named acting deputy manager of the National Nuclear Security Administration's Y-12 Site Office, replacing Dan Hoag who has been named Acting YSO manager. His assignment to YSO was effective Jan. 4, 2012.
Herrera has been a member of the Senior Executive Service since 2006 with managerial experience at NNSA Headquarters, Sandia Site Office, Los Alamos Site Office, and the Albuquerque Operations Office.
In his permanent assignment, Herrera serves as the deputy associate deputy administrator, Office of Infrastructure and Construction in Defense Programs. In this role, Herrera provides executive support to the Associate Deputy Administrator in directing the management of designated programs for the operations and maintenance of select NNSA facilities.
Before joining NNSA, Herrera was a resident engineer (head of construction office) with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). His USACE duty stations included King Khalid Military City, Saudi Arabia, and the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, Carlsbad, N.M.
An appreciation party was held last night for Ted Sherry, who has retired as Site Office Manager for Y-12. Ted was recognized for his work at Y-12 and commitment to federal service. The event was sponsored by the East Tennessee Economic Council, the Energy, Technology and Environmental Business Association, and the Oak Ridge Chamber of Commerce. To see the pictures from last night's event click here:
Ted Bowyer, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, has been elected as a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Bowyer is an internationally recognized expert in nuclear nonproliferation and nuclear physics, specifically the detection of extremely low level airborne radioactive emissions that are definitive signatures for nuclear explosions.
At PNNL, he manages the Nuclear Explosion Monitoring and Policy program for NNSA's Office of Nonproliferation Research and Development. In addition to performing fundamental and applied research in the development of systems to detect signs of proliferation, Bowyer has served as a scientific advisor on issues related to the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization. He also has served as an advisor to the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.S. State Department, National Academy of Sciences, and at the Conference on Disarmament.
Bowyer is a recipient of the Federal Laboratory Consortium Award for the design of the NNSA-funded Automated Radioxenon Sampler-Analyzer, which detects nuclear detonations by analyzing the atmosphere for traces of radioactive material that seeps from underground nuclear explosions.
Bowyer and others will be honored at a ceremony in February at the AAAS annual meeting in Vancouver, Canada.

Old Mill Farm
As one of the last Great Estates of Greenwich gracing 75± pastoral acres over 4 separately deeded lots, Old Mill Farm is a 1926 landmark treasure. Resting at the end of a private, formal drive, the renovated and restored Elizabethan-inspired Tudor manse of 15,800± square feet was originally designed by noted architect Charles Lewis Bowman for financier George Lewis Ohrstrom. Inside, the monumental Great Hall soars to a 40-foot cathedral ceiling above the minstrel's gallery featuring 17th-century English paneling, walk-in fireplace and leaded glass windows. Renowned landscape designer James Doyle won the Palladio Award for his work on the property's grounds, creating wonderfully atmospheric formal gardens including a sculpted maze. Also on the grounds are a terraced pool, tennis court, greenhouse, stable, staff houses, log cabin and stream-fed pond. Immersed in backcountry tranquility, Old Mill Farm holds immeasurable appeal as a magnificent family home.

1933 - 1945
Arizona Timeline
1934 - Congress passes the Taylor Grazing Act that limits the rancher's uncontrolled access to Federal lands.
1935 - Hoover Dam, located on the Colorado River, is dedicated on September 30 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
1936 - Arizona State Senate passes bill allowing Arizona women to serve on juries.
1942 - The federal government authorizes two Japanese relocation centers at Parker and Phoenix, Arizona.
1941 to 1945 - World War II brings economic boom to Arizona. Cotton, copper, cattle, farming and industry flourish.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the
only president elected to serve
four terms, was born near Hyde
Park, New York, in 1882. He
began his political career as a
state senator and leader in the
Democratic Party. He went on to
become governor of New York.
He took office as President in
Anna Eleanor Roosevelt married
her sixth cousin in 1905. She was
born in New York City in 1884,
the daughter of Elliott Roosevelt
and niece of Theodore Roosevelt.
The couple had five children.
Even though stricken with Polio in 1921, it never hindered President Franklin Roosevelt. He became governor of New York in 1928 and took the oath
as President of the United States in 1933. He immediately started action to combat the economic depression the country was experiencing. The United
States attempted to stay out of the war in Europe, but the Japanese sneak attack at Pearl Harbor in 1941caused the U. S. to join in the worldwide conflict.
President Roosevelt played a dominant role in the meeting at Yalta, attempting to develop plans that would provide a lasting world peace. He died
suddenly on April 12, 1945, before the second meeting, which was scheduled in San Francisco.
Eleanor Roosevelt was a very active First Lady. She was personally involved in many of the issues of the times, including women's rights, youth
movements, civil rights, and other issues. She had the first press conference ever held by a First Lady and she also wrote a daily column, which was
syndicated by many newspapers. After the president's death, she continued her works and won respect throughout the world. She died in 1962.

The compartments are perfect with storage for everything without being heave. My iPhone slips in and out of the back pocket with ease. I will wear this bag for years to come... November 30, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Tiffany70 Great Bag for Work or Play This is a gorgeous bag. The leather has a very rich look, making the purse suitable for work or play. It has lots of room. I can fit my iPad in the main pocket and my 5"x10" spiral notebook in the front exterior pocket. My only issue with the bag is that, while the larger back pocket is long, the opening isn't wide enough to accept standard size paper without folding it. That's my only complaint. If you're on the fence, get it. You won't regret it. October 21, 2013

Why is Malta the perfect tourist destination? If you're looking for accommodations for the holidays, or special occasions then why not try staying in Malta. Malta is an archipelago in the central Mediterranean Sea south of Sicily across the Malta Channel. Getting an accommodation in Malta means you get to enjoy the nice warm climate of Malta.
This also means you get to enjoy the beautiful Mediterranean scenery as you travel the different islands of the archipelago. Getting to Malta is easy because you can ride in Air Malta and land in the Malta International Airport. Malta only has one airport but it serves the whole Maltese archipelago. You can also get there by boat and enjoy the beautiful Mediterranean Sea on the way there. Only three of the largest islands are currently inhabited.
Each island boasts a landscape characterized by low hills, terraced fields, and plains. The islands in Malta also boast some of the most beautiful coastlines in the Mediterranean. Some of the best hotels in malta are located in near those coastlines; you can even hit the beach as soon as you arrive in a malta hotel. Malta also has some great holidays it is said that Malta is the country that has the most number of holidays in the entire European Union, The best part of the holidays is that malta tours are celebrated whole year round. No matter what month of the year you arrive in Malta to stay in Malta Hotels, you can still enjoy the holiday for that month.
Majority of the malta holidays are dedicated to the different saints of the Roman Catholic Church. Some of the patron saints of Malta are Saint George, Saint Paul, and Saint Agata. Malta is a land of many cultural practices. Its culture is a reflection of various Mediterranean cultures over the centuries, which came into contact with the people of Malta. It's history started out in 5200BC when stone age farmers from the large island of Sicily came to Malta and started to live there. They even built the oldest free-standing structures and oldest religious structures in the world.
Centuries after Greeks began to appear, as well as Phoenician traders. Then later Carthage and then Rome came to control the islands. Malta even came under the control of Napoleon during the French revolutionary wars. Malta was also once under British control, so even if Malta has a diverse culture, the people there mainly speak Maltese and English. There is no problem in communication and in getting an accommodation in malta.
Some of the culture of Malta can be seen in their fine cuisines, which range from Maltese soup to Italian pasta to different Mediterranean pastries, all of which are combined to make a blend of Mediterranean diet unique only to Malta. These fine cuisines can be sample in the hotels in malta or in some restaurants in the malta hotel. For those of you who really like to enjoy new food you can even get an accommodation in malta which would allow you to eat at a traditional Maltese restaurant.

Craft Room Organization: 10 Smart Ways to Store Fabric
With a dedicated craft room, storage space is probably not a concern. But the mere nature of fabric—being pliable and prone to wrinkling—makes storage a challenge, even if space is plentiful. A few clever souls manage to make it work, using whatever is at their disposal and thankfully they've shared their secrets online.
Check out the solutions below, examples include showing how to make use of open shelves, file folders, jars, plastic sheets, curtain rods, and cork board to store endless amounts of fabric and fabric scraps in easy visible, always-reachable ways.
- Textiles on shelves, bolts, and a bulletin board in the studio of interior designer Caitlin Wilson.
- Caitlin also keeps scraps in meticulously labeled wire drawers.
- A dresser—minus the drawers—was painted and turned into open shelving for Cindy of Cameras and Chaos.
- Linda of Craftaholics Anonymous keeps fabric sorted on a curtain rod, using curtain rings with clips attached.
- Traditionalists who want to keep their fabric on bolts can take a cue from Home + Away with Lisa, where tall bolts are stashed in an IKEA Billy bookcase.
- Or make mini-bolts out of plastic board, like The Little Green Bean.
- Lots of little scraps? Store them in an apothecary jar, like this one spotted on Pretty Prudent.
- Or try a combination of bolts and jars, like these from Girl. Inspired. arranged artfully on a shelf.
- Literally file your fabric away and keep everything visible on hanging file folders, as displayed by Lauren of The Thinking Closet.
- Folded fabric fits nicely into wall-mounted plate racks or mail racks, as Design Mom Gabrielle shows us from a peek into her office.

I'm currently using the wire drawer method, but I really like the look of the mini bolts! Lots of great ideas in this post :)
I have been using old-fashioned accordion wooden drying racks. Wall-mounted ones would be great as well. They look good when collapsed, too.
Unless one has rapid turnover, all this open storage would seem to be to produce very dusty fabric. I keep fabric in plastic storage bins. Drawers would work. My mother had a tall sheet-metal cabinet for hers. All closed away from dust and sun.
But fabric is not the problem, anyone can store fabric. No no no, it's the little stuff. For example - some time in 1977 I thought I'd teach myself to tat, so I got a book and a tatting shuttle. Well tatting didn't seem so great, so the tools were put away. Fast forward to the day before yesterday, I thought it would be fun to make a pair of tatted earrings. So ... where's the shuttle? Believe it or not, I found it first try, but that was just luck. Scraps of wire, buttons, beads, brayer, ink, needle threaders, exacto knife, blades for exacto knife, pin findings, double ended crochet hooks, fabric glue, plastic rings, the beautiful piece of ribbon from the godiva chocolate box ... You get the idea, this stuff is the problem. Any good ideas ...?
#9 all the way. that looks great. no dust and out of sight
None of these store much fabric.
Great ideas...thanks for the post. I wrap my fabrics around foam core and store them in a lawyer's bookcase with glass doors. So easy to access and keeps the dust off of them.
I got into the habit of storing like-minded items in their own Hefty zip-top storage bag (quart or gallon) - so 8" zippers in one bag, plastic rings in another, elastic in yet another, buttons sorted by color in their own bags. Sharp items might need to be loosely wrapped. A lot of bags in a drawer but all are see-thru & all the stuff's together and easily at hand. The first organizational go-round's full of drama but it's easy going after that.
I'd love to see a similar post with ways to organize yarn!!! I am a knitter and would like to find a better way to organize and display my yarn.
FYI, quilting fabrics can really only handle a few dozen hours of direct sunlight before they start to fade. These are all adorable, but I hope they're being careful about light!!!
I think my mom has more fabric that all the photos combined and multiplied by 100 I think. I don't this applies to serious sewers.
@joydreamz, i was just thinking the same thing. these are all beautiful but don't seem to work for people who use smaller pieces, or who have a TON of fabric! still, very inspiring workspaces. i especially like the file folder image!
I have an expedit bookshelf that stores all my craft stuff. Big yardages of fabric are folded and stacked by material, not color (I sew clothes, so not much quilting cottons). I can see the edge of everything to know what I have and since I'm in the basement fading isn't an issue. Then the other half of the bookshelf has the plastic bins IKEA sells that fit into the expedit. Most have lots of supplies - patterns, paints and small canvases, ribbon, interfacing, glues, etc - and one is full of plastic bags of sorted large-ish fabric scraps. I also have two bins reserved for WIPs because sometimes you cut stuff out and lose momentum.
Two things have helped me with fabric management the most: 1) I don't keep scraps smaller than 6" by 6" - it's not worth the stress or the storage no matter how beautiful it is and 2) I'm not allowed to buy more fabric until a fabric I own is used up (kind of like some people's clothing rule). Rule 2 is paramount or all hell will break loose. As it is, I still have a ton of fabric.
As for yarn - the few skeins I own have to be practically kept under lock and key. The cats have a search and destroy setting for the stuff. I told them it was cliche to play with balls of yarn, but they ignored me. I guess they're hipsters.
I'm sorry, but these are the storage areas of beginners. All the fabric depicted is of equal yardage and is color coordinated. I want to see a storage area that can handle years of making a little bit of everything; wedding dresses, children's clothing, drapes, pillows, curtains, sweaters, afghans, embroideries, etc. THAT would be worth seeing.
I use a combination of the IKEA Alex Drawers with castors and a dresser drawer. Trays inside are used for notions.
For 1/2 yard pieces or smaller, I roll each one up like a sleeping bag, put a rubber band around it, and put it in one of my expedit shelves. You can see the ends of them, and it's easy to grab one out without disrupting the whole pile. Best method I've found. I have to be able to see my fabric to be inspired.
I put fabric in Ziplocs (big ones) with labels showing date and place purchased, yardage and width, fiber content, and if pretreated. All patterns are in document sleeves sorted in binders. Tools, thread, curves and rulers are stored on a slotted rack for easy access. Reference material is kept in magazine holders and book-racks. And everything is in shelves in a closet. Only the project which I am working is on my work table.
Love the file folder one. I have extra file folders, but not much paper to put in it. Fabric would be perfect. I had the idea to make a ladder-like structure and keep it upright in the corner, keep larger upholstery bolts behind it in the corner and yardage of bulkier fabric on the "rungs." Keep smallest pieces on shelves. The dust/light issue was still a hang-up though since my craft room is exposed to both heavily. Bad on the dust, nice for working with the sunlight. Still need to figure out a "final solution."

None of this looks very practical. Hundreds of odd-shaped scraps acquired over many, many years? I store them in cardboard boxes in the closet.
I would have to agree with some of the other commenters about practicality. Though these are all very lovely, a serious quilter or seamstress has a stash that is cut, slashed, shredded and piled. I work in a finished basement and have ugly plastic bins that store mountains of scraps.
I like the file cabinet idea, but It might not hold too much...
This person must be a quilter. Those are odd bits of fabric to have.
The storage ideas with fabric out in the light are quaint and cute but potential ruin for the fabric. I learned the hard way that fabric exposed to excessive sunlight will fade--usually very annoyingly on the fold. Ruined!
The solutionis to either store your fabrics in light-blocking containers--or USE IT UP! That is the real answer (says she who is currently trying to store away decades of fabric purchases into closed boxes).
The collection is nice but who are we really trying to impress? I'm inclined to agree with a recent Apartment Therapy article about how 'stuff' clutters our homes AND our minds. Play and have fun with the fabric you have now and stop adding to your stash. Then when it's nearly gone, you get to go shopping again! Yay!
I'm a card-carrying fabriholic, and constantly have to weed out my stash. The best method I've found, which others have mentioned before me, is the clear plastic boxes. I keep like fabrics together in the boxes, (all white/broacloth/drapery weight/etc) and rolls under my worktable. I know you see it a lot, (as in the first picture) but storing rolls of fabric vertically will ruin it. Depending on the weight/fiber content, it'll get permament ripples from sagging on the roll.
I have various storage boxes, one for each category of stuff. Large ones for fabrics, smaller ones for ribbons, elastic, fasteners, beads, metal findings, fur, yarn, etc. Some of my storage is clear bins with colored lids, some is matching stacking cardboard boxes. I like the clear bins because I can see into them as well as read the label. But within each box the stuff might be a mess so they are less pleasing than perhaps stacking opaque boxes.
I agree that these photos are cute but "amateurs" (wink, wink).
I have one wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling shelf set-up for large clear bins of fabrics. Each bin is labeled for the type of fabric it is (nowhere NEAR as well as what Ringleader describes. I also have a table-to-ceiling second wall of shelves with cardboard boxes labeled by type of item. Someday I will make all of them match in appearance, somehow. These store paints, small fabric squares, elastic, ribbons, tapes, buttons, appliques, beads, other craft supplies. File drawers are for patterns, and a tall pantry type cabinet for more miscellany. A trash can holds tightly rolled patterns for painted glass & banner designs for the church. There are two work surfaces and one rolling chair. (Oh - the room is 8 x 9.)
Thanks to those who posted ideas for sorting notions. I'm liking the ziploc bag idea, and a generously sized dresser might be the place for the ziploc bags. A little bit here and a little bit there doesn't work. And strict separation between various crafts would probably be a good idea too - crochet/drawing/metals each in their place.

The room looks great. You wouldn't have to close the door when guests come over.
As many of you mentioned, this is lovely but totally unpractical. And only good as a decoration in "sewing room" of someone with a great wish to sew (but their wish is still unfulfilled). I suppose people have the need that "crafty" must be "stylish" at the same time.
I sew a lot. For all four of us, and occasional friend or relative too. My sewing corner is not stylish at all. But it is practical. I keep my fabrics in see-through vacuum bags, my big scraps in shoe boxes, smaller ones (for applique) in zip-lock baggies, divided by color. Small supplies (trims, buttons, etc) are in cardboard boxes. All of that is labeled and tucked away in a closet. Our living space is small (60sq meters) and I have a rule about buying more fabric. It is allowed only if a) I will use it immediately or b) I use some of existing fabric to make something and, therefore, make some space for the new one.
Agreed with @roxy72, I'm a serious knitter and I'd be very interested in a post about serious yarn storage. Anything that allows for a sizable stash of yarn without ruining it (exposure to bugs, sun, excessive humidity, etc.) would be ideal. I know what I do, but I'd be very interested in other people's solutions.
I can't recall where I originally saw the idea, but I fold larger pieces of fabric (at least 1/2 yard) around a 6" wide ruler and stack them on the shelves of my secretary (behind glass doors). This way all the pieces are the same depth and I can see them all in the stack. Smaller scraps (fat quarters and such) are folded to similar sizes and stacked there as well. Really small scraps (strips, squares, odd pieces) I store in zipper bags (usually left over from buying sheets etc) sorted by color. All of those bags are in a bin in my closet.
I don't use fabric or any such things but the post looked interesting so I read it. The pictures look so colourful and interesting and actually some how beautiful and relaxing, but the comments prove so much different options can work and there are sooo many variations none the less nice article to see.
I think I'll let my mum know of the lady who put some item away in 1977 (incedently the year I was born) and found it now at first try, my mum would probably spent the next 36 looking for it as she has collected so much stuff and stores it quite badly too.

Big, runaway snowball slams into college dorm
Feb 14, 2014
By STEVEN DUBOIS
Of the Associated Press
PORTLAND — Two math majors at Reed College lost control of a massive snowball that rolled into a dorm, knocking in part of a bedroom wall.
There were no injuries, but college spokesman Kevin Myers said Friday it will cost $2,000 to $3,000 to repair the building.
The incident happened last Saturday night following a rare trio of snowstorms in Portland.
Students started building the giant snowball on a campus quad near the dorm. Urged by a crowd, the math majors tried to make the snowball as big as possible by rolling it down the sidewalk that goes past the dorm.
"And the ball just got away from them," Myers said.
After escaping their control, the boulder-sized snowball rolled about 15 yards before slamming into Unit #7. Three students heard the smack and discovered the fractured bedroom wall. The student whose dorm was damaged has not had to move.
Nobody weighed the snowball, but a maintenance worker who sliced it up for removal estimated it to weigh 800 pounds or more, Myers said.
The students responsible for the runaway snowball reported the incident and won't be disciplined. Myers said they didn't intend to cause damage and feel awful about what happened. He declined to release their names and said he didn't know their class years.
Reed Magazine was first to report about the snowball.
"It was not the talk of campus until the story came out," Myers said. "The people that were there knew about it, but now it has kind of taken us by storm."

I read an amusing tweet earlier – Any Decent Music, the Scottish music review aggregator site, announced that "those laggards at TLOBF have finally completed their best albums list, so the Best Of The Best Ofs is now wrapped up". That's ADM's epic undertaking which aggregates "best of 2011″ lists and has produced a top 50 from them. Of all the contributing publications TLOBF took the longest to get their list up, which I think says something about how seriously the editorial team took the exercise. Of course, the whole affair shows just how many publications want a look-in at the best albums game: to the music criticism world, they're what this time of year is about.
At the same time, having an opinion is what us music writers do, and here's my hat thrown into the ring. I make no claim that I've heard hundreds of records in 2011, and certainly I've heard a fraction of even the big ones – but this is my list of personal favourites, the records which have made the biggest impact on me and the ones which I'll forever connect with the developments the year has brought into my own life. As usual, there's not a lot of crossover with the lists ADM aggregated, but hopefully a few underheard gems which could do for you what they did for me. More

Questions on Portable Outdoor Oven

- How long will a 1 pound bottle of propane last? I mean if I am to cook something, will it cut out half way thru the cooking process?
- If you were to run the oven at its maximum total output of 3,000 BTU, it would last 7.5 hours. So you don't need to worry about the oven cutting out on you halfway through the cooking process.

Luxuriate on the trendy or tranquil and always beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean. Sandy coves and rocky inlets alike are washed by mesmerizing azure water and warmed by the insistent sun and famously friendly people of Mediterranean Europe.
Suppose you are sailing bravely and purposefully through the Straits of Gibraltar, intent on finding your favorite European beach in the Mediterranean. Good luck - it won't be an easy decision to but the research will be extraordinarily pleasurable. What happens first?
Spain's sunny southern beaches will beckon with miles upon miles of coastline, well loved and visited by the rest of Europe. Off shore are the Balearic Islands, famous for the nightlife and jet-set playground on Ibiza as well as being a UNESCO World Heritage Site, thanks to the industrious Phoenicians. Beaches ring the islands in variations of sandy and rocky, remote and rambunctious; all feature that crystal clear blue stuff offshore.
Next, France, and you immediately think of glamorous movie stars, bikinis, and St. Tropez – as well you should – but there are surprises in store. Have a sunbath on the beach of car-free Porquerolles island, or visit the flamingoes in the Camargue wetlands near the beach– also famous among foodies for its salt. Consider a swim beneath the white cliffs of Cassis, or the vast, wild, cactus-ringed expanse of Espiguette in Languedoc and escape the crowds. Don't forget to seek out the white sand and rocky inlets of Corsica.
You'll cruise by Monaco, where the manmade, white sand Larvotto Beach has more glitter per grain than anywhere else along the Mediterranean coast in Europe. Your own vessel will gasp in admiration (or jealousy) at the unbelievable yachts and cruise ships that frequent the harbors in this part of the Mediterranean.On to the Italian Riviera on the Ligurian coast of Italy, where long shallow beaches anchored by charming seaside resorts are perfect for families and scuba divers. Think San Remo, Portofino, cafes at sunset with platinum water against a backdrop of forested hills. If you prefer wild, remote shores, explore the shores of Sardinia and for a rugged, more challenging beachscape, repair to the shores of Ionian Sea, on the "sole of the boot" opposite Greece.
Cross over to Malta and you'll wonder if you're in the center of a prism, the air is so luminous on the small islands of Malta, Gozo and Comino. Beaches are covered with golden or red sand or boulders perfect for a seaside ramble. Malta is best for ocean water sports while Gozo and Comino generally have rockier beaches and great snorkeling. The best part: the Maltese climate allows bathers to keep at it until mid-autumn.
Greece and its 6,000 islands greet you next, sirens of beach beauty for eons. Surfaces range from volcanic sand to pebbly, vistas wide open or set back in the cliffs with slivers of sky and sea framed by jagged rocks. Some beaches attract a crowd where you can meet fellow sun worshippers and never be lonely and buzz with water sport activity; others entice the occasional goat and sea birds, the perfect place when alone is all you want to be - or with your special travel partner. Greece has close to 500 Blue Flag beaches, showing an enormous commitment to protecting the places where this history-drenched land meets the incredibly clear, bright Mediterranean.
Turkey's Mediterranean seaboard is aptly named "The Turquoise Coast" not because the beaches are piles of blue stone, although that would be nice, but the water is of a color and clarity you must see to believe. The beaches are wildly popular for all kinds of travelers, families and singles alike surrounded as they are by seriously impressive historical sites served up with Turkish hospitality. The beach at Ölüdeniz is a standout for its blue lagoons, and has been described as 'the Eden bestowed by God to the World'; that's quite an endorsement. How can you not check that one out?
Round off your voyage at the dazzling beaches is on the island of Cyprus. The western side is quiet, perfect for solitude, snorkeling and diving. The eastern coast anything but that, where revelry rules at high-energy resorts and parties afloat twinkle offshore at night. Southern beaches are hard-packed and great for jogging. What the beaches of Cyprus have in common is access to perfect day trips inland to see historical sites, if you can tear yourself away from the captivating sight of the bluest sea all around.
Central Europe is eager to welcome you to discover its treasures!
The fascinating countries of the Black Sea region straddle the transition between Europe and Asia.
Come along on our overview of the islands of no fewer than 18 European countries.

Lion trophy hunting and range state population numbers
Monday 28th November 2011
Please click on this link to see a country by country assessment of lion trophy hunting for African nations that permit(ted) the practice. This is the most up-to-date analysis, and includes CITES export numbers, threat assessments for lion populations in each country, a summary statement for each country, and a conclusion on trophy hunting offtake.
Please bring this report to the attention of members of Congress, Senators, Members of Parliaments, and Members of European Parliament who represent you. It is a document that all decision makers need to see to end lion sport hunting. We need your active participation to circulate this report. Thank you.
