now i just get to enjoy christmas like a normal person. i don't even have to repair the star again this year! since we made a new one last year, it's holding up a lot better than the first one. it's construction foam (the pink stuff) which i painted with two coats of primer then decopauged with gold tissue paper. the old one was just painted and dented/scratched a lot quicker. the gold paper gives this one a nice crusty shell that is almost un-scratchable!
if you want to be moved to tears by a story of what freedom of religion can look like, go here now. i have been reading her blog for several months now and i feel like peaches is my sister from another mister.

the week's big chop...
you know it's time when pencils and knitting needles substitute for hair bands and a hat substitutes for a shower. when you wash and dry it and that's it. it's time to give your hair to someone else who will make better use of it that you will. it's time to chop it off for locks of love.
three pony tails worth of boredom will be packed into a padded envelope and sent off to do something for a change. the longest one is destined to be made into a kid's wig, and the two shorter ones will be sold for toupees and the like, and the money will go back to LOL.
i feel SO much better with short hair again. it's been years since it's been this short-and people's reactions are hilarious. 'You look younger!' 'You look older!' the head pastor at work keeps calling me the 'new becca' which i think is hilarious since i've worked there off and on going on 18 years now.
tomorrow is the pageant rehearsal and sunday, it all goes down. due to snow and kids being out sick, we've only had one day of actual song rehearsal and only one day of rehearsing the lines with the kids, and i'll never have had the 'adult' cast together in one room before we perform it DURING WORSHIP on sunday. OH and Mary has to take her ACT's tomorrow since they got snowed out last weekend. it's fine, not like she has a huge role in the whole thing......... i'm terrified. if this pageant is a disaster i fear another big chop this week......

Owls and Snowmen
As the storm of the 21st century blows into MN, I'm delighted to spend a third day in a row in my studio. I actually took a sick day from job numero uno on Thursday, what a treat!!!!
The Bibelot has placed a final pre-Christmas order, and my wintery stuff is selling well at I Like You so I'm in a mad frenzy to re-stock for all the non-big-box shoppers out there in the world. Thank you for supporting local artists!
The owls pictured are going to the Bibelot, they have four locations so check each one. These are ornament sized-they fit in your hand. I loves them! Each one turns out cuter than the last!!! Bigger owlies are also available at their stores, and ILY will be getting medium-sized ones (photos to follow). Find snowmen like these at ILY.

my monthly gift...no...not that one!
ah ok so this whole regular blogging thing is not working out so great now is it?
if you'd had a glance at my calendar you'd see why.
highlights since we last spoke include (but are not limited to) the green gift fair at the midtown global market, the annual i like you ornament sale, then thanksgiving with a visit from my cousin jay and his family and a trunk show at the bibelot. oh and then that whole night in bethlehem business.
videos and photos follow. animal and ornament construction continues unabated.

recap of the last month....
work is full-tilt crazy pace, charging ahead into christmas and the pageant and the advent fair and the star of wonder brunch and on and on and on. sometimes i miss semi-retirement but i love love LOVE my job.
i'm cranking out the christmas ornaments in the studio. i've come up with a pretty solid assembly line, where i'm still able to give each one personality and different looks but it goes much, much quicker! yippee!

break out the glitter!!!
i'm going to actually have time to craft this weekend! what a revelation!
i have to restock my stores for the upcoming 'holidays' and get ready for my next bibelot trunk show, which is going to be BLACK FRIDAY aka the day after Thanksgiving. and this year, i've decided to get to work earlier rather than later. what a concept!
going to focus on the smaller ornaments, making more things in the 10-20 dollar range, for gifties and what have you. lots of birds, penguins, and little guys. not so many of the big guys. if these 'tough economic times' have taught me anything, it's that people aren't really spending much money right now, especially on things like ornaments. even super cute ones.
these ornaments were at the i like you trunk show last year. they did extremely well....and are identical to the ones i had at the state fair except for the scarves. is a scrap of yarn really what it takes to sell a bird? am i gonna have to add scarves to all my birds this winter? would a bird be able to fly with a scarf? am i over thinking this? yes, yes, no and yes.

Cabinet of Wonders...
I took a class with the amazingly talented and sweet Jennifer Murphy at The Creative Connection. We got to make TWO lovely ornaments in the class! She was a fantastic teacher, and helped a group of women of all skill levels through to beautiful finished products....with all the teaching I do it's always a treat to take a class from a wonderful teacher!
The wee little blue bird comes from yarn that she hand-dyed for the class (here you can see her photo of all the samples lined up for class) and is so stinkin' cute! I decided to give my guy a mohawk which might be hard to see in the photo....and we also made a little bird standing on a tree clip with a nest of tinsel and wee mercury glass 'eggs' at his feet! How adorbs, eh?
They'll join the other handmade goodies in my 'never sell' cabinet in my studio.....prototypes, one-offs, things I made from patterns and won't sell because I didn't design them myself, things like that.
It's great to see the oldest Duckies and how far I've come....If you look closely you'll find a hand-jointed rabbit made from a book on teddy bears, two Steiff mice, owls and penguins of all sizes, Porkchop the monkey, and Duckie Ugling himself!

A day of thanks...
I volunteered at The Creative Connection in downtown Mpls. A little bit of a hike from the 'burbs but OH so worth it. The Handmade Market was mindblowingly awesome. I had to resist buying everything I saw. I did snag a few treasures and more than a few ideas!
I met amazing women/artists/businesspeople/bloggers that i have admired for YEARS, including the lovely and amazing Jen O'Connor of Earth Angels Toys. Even ran into my sister's husband's aunt and uncle and cousin in law! What a small world, eh?
And tomorrow, I'm taking a class from Jennifer Murphy! I can't wait!
I also got the FANTASTIC news that one of my dear friends gave birth to a healthy, happy baby boy. Welcome to the world little Kagan! I can't wait to meet this little guy....
I've also broken my vow of no craft shows for a year and committed to doing a Saturday show during the St. Paul art crawl. No booth fee, no pressure. Maybe some of the billion birds I have left over from the State Fair will make it on to the table. Or maybe some old jewelry spiced up for new eyes. Who knows......

double rainbow, all the way!!!
you've no doubt seen the double rainbow video by now, and it's hundreds of tributes/spoofs.
and now, he's makin' money at it. go bear!
we had a fantastic storm earlier in the week, and i got to introduce my parents to the double rainbow phenomenon. they LOL'd and loved it. this is our double rainbow, yes it did reach all the way across the sky. started and ended on our property. i know there's no pots of gold out there, but there are acres and acres of lovely trees, swamp-y creatures, and beautiful wildflowers. i am eagerly anticipating the color show when all those trees turn gold and red.

where does the time go?
summer is wrapping and sunday school is about to start up again, up but the weather here in MN hasn't gotten the memo. it's been 80-90 these past few days. and just about unbearable. so glad my new office at church is airconditioned like a blast chiller.
the state fair is on, and i dearly love it. the great minnesota get together is one of my favorite events of the year. i've only missed it a few times in my 34 years on this planet. i went yesterday (by myself) and found amazingly adorable rabbits that i was THISCLOSE to stuffing in my bag and running off with, so-so deep fried food items, and then handed out postcards and talked up the store to anyone who wandered within 10 feet of the i like you booth. sold a few t-shirts and other fabulous items as well, but no one wanted or needed a duckie ugling ornament in their fair schwag bags. who knew!?
if you go, visit the booth in the lower level of the grandstand, on the back wall. you can't miss it. i wish we had these shirts in adult sizes.....

oh yeah it's too hot! too hot baby!
last year's red hot art was anything but, considering the pouring rain, however this year they lucked out with gorgeous weather and fabu music.
today i tech-d a fringe show then went to pick up the VBS supplies from the st. paul church and put them upstairs at my church. picked up my soldering kit (which i forgot after class the other night) came home and melted into a puddle. all thoughts of getting anything done flew out the window. i don't want to turn the A/C on because i love open windows and the sounds and smells of the farm. we've had intermittent rainstorms all day and it's absolutely magical to hear all the bird sounds.....
one thing that wasn't magical was the gentleman (!) who hocked a loogy on my hood on the way back from the church. i was driving in the left lane, going 10+ over the speed limit like the rest of the traffic, but OH NO he wanted to be in front of me so he could follow the car 20 yards ahead of me. so as he passed me on the right (after another car exited) he placed his head outside his window and spat at my car. YES. SPAT. disgusting. another human's spittle outside their body is one of the grossest things i can think of ON THE PLANET.
indignant rage threatened to grip my soul.
however, i thought, i'm driving a carload full of materials back to my church, from another church, were i spent the week teaching kids about Jesus' disciples in the book of Acts. Seriously. WWJD? i'm not gonna let satan (in an F150) get to me...
so as he slowed down to exit (about 1/3 of a mile past passing me) i made eye contact with the gentleman, smiled, and waved sweetly. he looked at me like i was insane. and yes, possibly i am.
i hope my smile and wave made him realize what an a$$ he'd just made of himself, how he really had accomplished nothing. he hadn't ruined my day, he had just soiled my vehicle with his DNA.

studio time!
here's a cabinet full of owls and birds-destined for the bibelot
and here's my soldering setup. i'm teaching a class tonight, and another one soon in northfield, so i'm making class samples.
feels good to flex my creative muscles again!!!

van gogh, eat your heart out.
volunteer sunny in the weedy garden. none of them have 'perfect' faces'. last year we had some crazy double-faced ones. i don't see any of those yet this year.
some 'teddy bear' sunnies and red ones in the veg garden. since i got the job it's been very neglected, and the weeds have really taken over. in the back are the rain barrels my dad set up. since remodeling the studio, we added a gutter to the front of the barn. it captures up to 55 gallons of rain PER SHOWER from just the front side, and instead of just letting it run into the driveway and then the yard, we're going to use it to water the gardens. my dad is so proud of all the engineering he did on these barrels. i am going to paint a lot of the garden accessories this blue color next year. i love it.
secret garden. here's how it looked last year.
it's really growing like crazy!
more of mt. st. hugo. look at all those wildflowers! there's tons of bees and butterflies that flit around. sounds like a million tiny vuvzelas out there.

Tiiiiiiiiiiiny house!
as a maximalist, i am quite impressed by this guy's organization and skill in living with so little in such tight quarters. i think my room is bigger than his whole house.

What's the buzz? Tell me what's a happening...
Oosh. What a couple of months.
The posting has dried up, as you faithful readers would have observed by now, due to new jobbage and general lack of time due to new jobbage. I haven't sewn any duckies since the beginning of April, due to the studio being remodeled and expanded so my mom can have a workspace again.
But the weight loss has continued, and I'm the lightest weight I've been in 10 years. I don't feel like I've had to 'give anything up', I just have to make other changes, like working out or having less of something I decide I really want! I'm not saying I'm perfect by any means, but I've discovered that I am addicted to sweating every day!
I'm excited for my siblings and their kiddos to come home next week...what else can I say? I'll have photos, news, and a real update. But for now, I hope this will do.

another day, another dress
shirt: generic macy's brand shirt but i have it in purple and pink and i loves it.
shoes and earrings: borrowed from my sis.
pins: thrifted from various sources. loves me some bling!
i worked at the church AND the store today. busy day! my summer is going to be fully of days like this: 5-6 hours at the church, 4-5 hours at the store. tomorrow is an all store day. i am going to work on class ideas and sew some more alabama-chanin inspired items to rev up the wardrobe. i'm also window shopping some more dresses..i think it's time to break out the sewing machine and whip up some jersey dresses for myself. we'll see if the heat breaks before or after my ambition.

SoD and MAX!!!
Today I kept up the summer of dresses with this little number from Lane Bryant. I wore it to a wedding two years ago, and haven't worn it much since. I lost one of the two (removeable) straps, so today I made it into a halter so as not to lose the top. With the cardigan over the top, you can hardly tell! I feel very 50's housewife-y in this dress. It's super, super big on the top so if I lose any more weight this summer, I don't think I can wear this one any more.
I am totally loving the Summer of Dresses, but I'm either gonna have to start sewing or hit the thrifts on Monday to pad my stash!

Summer of Dresses!!!
Even before I knew about this blog, I was determined to wear more dresses and skirts this year.
Here's my first submission to the Summer of Dresses. I notice that my farmer tanned arms are like two shades darker than my legs. Better break out the fake tan lotion and catch those puppies up!
Dress: Merona (Target brand)
Jean Jacket: Style and Co (Macy's brand)
Boots: Thrifted from the Goodwill

summer has arrived!
super cute shoes by land's end outlet, amazing landscaping by my parents and a small army of diligent workers.

I'm back baby!!!
I got the job I so mysteriously hinted at several weeks ago...working in Children's Ministries at my home church. YAY!
It's very similar to the job I held through high school, college summers, and after I got back from Chicago. Nothing like coloring, playing games, and singing songs with elementary kiddos! I love it!
Today was my last day at the major department store. I'm glad they employed me for a time, but I'm also glad to be done. It allowed me to get a YMCA membership, and I've been going before work, after work, and sometimes exercising at home, too! The weight hasn't been coming off as fast but I'm feeling bones emerge where earlier there was only layers of flab. It feels good to have a waist again!

i did a saturday earth day work shop for artscraps and had a fantastic time. being outside, with kids, crafting with recycled materials...how could it get any better than that? i'm so looking forward to my signatures camp this summer, i'm getting all sorts of ideas on what to teach the kiddos.
we are also planning an addition to the studio. a room for storage. i'm SO happy about that. my situation is OOC (out of control) and i know it's frustrating for my mom to not be able to use HER studio since MY stuff is in the way. over there is a studio board with the theme of 'wings', and with about as much yellow as i can stand to look at. HA!
i have an interview tomorrow, which i'm very much looking forward to, which i will tell you about at a later date because i don't even know if the job is actually open. we'll see.

Camera located! Worthy pictures taken, not so many.
Here though are some shots of Oscar the Octopus, made for submission to the One Yard Wonders 2 book. I thought the one in the 'cave' was especially hilarious.
On a side note, YMCA joining comes in the midst of a 3-month weight-loss plateau. I keep hovering around the same 3 lbs lost and gained. I know I could be tracking more dilligently for one thing, and that my clothing and measurements are really changing, I am able to walk longer, faster, and further, but darnit I want to get past this hump! Hopefully the return of the Farmer's Markets will help me to eat more fruit and veg. Our Chives and Asparagus and Rhubarb are being consumed almost daily.

this whole week has felt like monday....
not having a regular work schedule tends to mess up your internal clock a bit. this entire week i've had to check my phone, a calendar, etc. to see what day it really is because i was sure it was still monday. yes, i do feel a wee bit like garfield this week. that photo over there is of Katzen Ploofen, sold last year on ETSY.
had a shopping spree with my mom at the rosedale location of the Store-Not-To-Be-Named where i am currently part-timely employed. she helped me find all the black pants and tops in the plus-sized section. but.... i was SHOCKED to be buying clothes in a size 16. i am utterly amazed because the last time i remember wearing a 16 was early in college. or about 30 lbs from now. so either i was wearing WAY too large of a size (grunge was on its way out so i might have been ahead of the curve so to speak) or they've slid the sizes up again. you hear how marilyn monroe was a 12 blah blah but really she was more of an 8 by today's standards. or maybe a 6.
joining the Y today instead of in May. though spring has hit MN it's still chilly out there. and though i'd rather exercise out-of-doors it's just not going to happen when it's 38 degrees. they are remodeling the place and the pools will be ready in June. i can't WAIT! i love to swim. gonna need a new suit though my old one was a size 22!!!
one last tidbit that i feel needs commenting on: this monstrosity from KFC.
wow. 540 calories and 32g of fat. did the WW points on it and it comes out to 13. TWO slices of bacon, cheese, two patties, and sauce. ugh. it's like they let the stoners into the kitchen to make whatever they wanted.
this exhaustive list will tell you how much activity you need to burn this baby off.

Yah, spring has sprung!
I seem to have misplaced my own digicam so I borrowed my mom's for yesterday's trunk show at the Beeb. The coat I'm wearing came from last year's Halloween Costume and back then, I couldn't even button the thing. Now I can button AND zip it closed! And roll up the sleeves!
The best part is it came from Goodwill and cost only $6. I'm gonna get a lot of use out of it this spring. The dress and shoes were also thrifted and were very lucky finds. I know I don't *have* to buy clothes at the GeeDub but it feels extra awesome when I do.
Anyway. Back to the Trunkshow. I was pretty happy with yesterday's outcome, but I wish as always that I had made more lower-priced things that people would snap up. The plus side is that I now have a whole pack of giant pastel rabbits to put in my Etsy shop. Providing I don't keep them for myself.
The new job at a giant department store not-to-be-named* has gone quite well so far. My co-workers are all EXTREMELY nice and though I have yet to catch any shop lifters or buy anything new, I am getting excited about having a regular source of income. Since it's so close to work, I'm going to join the YMCA in May, and the first 5 hours of work each month will go towards paying for that membership. It will be my reward!
*In training they said I couldn't blog about my job and mention it by name. So I won't! I've learned my lesson from Dooce!
Tunk Show!!!
yesterday was SO much fun-meeting customers at the bibelot and seeing so many friends and relatives....more photos to come but I wanted to just give you a quick taste. Happy Easter to all, we are off to church then back for lunch. Photos of baby D coming soon!

Pop Fizz Trunk Show Article!

They are more like art than ordinary plush toys, and they're perfect for keeping at the office as a source of comfort.

Saturday's OOTD
I thought I looked super cute on Saturday. I didn't feel like washing my hair, and it was *just* cold enough that one needed extra layers to preserve optimum body temperatures when out-of-doors. So out comes the trusty Beret. But off came the bling that usually decorates the brim.
Here's my outfit o' the day.
beret: super old GAP, like 15 years ago. I know I had it college because one year I was a squirrel and i made my boyfriend at the time be an acorn. He didn't like dressing up. That should have been a major clue that it would never work out.
scarf: I knit it about 2 years ago.
brown cardi: From marshall's. Some random plus size line
tank top w/ beading: old navy
jeans: Liz Claiborne via my MOM! Yes they are Mom jeans, literally. And they are also 6 sizes smaller than the jeans I was wearing last year at this time. Though women's sizes go by 2's. So really, it's 3 sizes. But the math is pretty exciting regardless.
The sun has FINALLY come out in MN and that means everyone and their dog heads outside to soak up the sunshine. I've walked outside the last two days instead of in the mall and it's been GLORIOUS. Just when you get sick of living in a miserable gray and rainy world the sun comes out and reminds you that spring is worth going through winter. We know there will be a few more blizzards before winter slinks away for 9 months...but we don't care!

The company has also joined hands with HMD Global and offering the same Rs 2,000 cashback on Nokia 2 and Nokia 3 smartphones.

For the past handful years I have had the pleasure of creating company photographs for the University of Alberta's MOD Contemporary Dance Movement, an Edmonton dance company that is student directed and operated. This is such a lovely group of young ladies (no guys dancing with them this year, but there have been in previous seasons.) They are so creative and so much fun to work with.
To learn a bit more about these dancers and their upcoming performances, check them out on Fbook here and they have a YouTube channel here.
Enjoy a few selects from this seasons shoot...

Meant to post this a few days ago. Readers of my blog know that I've taken to attending the EF form of the Mass on weekdays. It is a) quick b) Latin is fun c) close to work. Over the years, I've aquired a number of handmissals because a) I like history, and seeing how such things as the church calendar changed b) I like Missals c) they often contain lots of bits of interesting information.
Sometimes, it's fun to see how much less PC we were years ago.
Two of the Missals I have are "The New Marian Missal", published mid-1950s, and the 1962 Latin Missal which was recently published by Baronius press that relied heavily on the aforementioned Missal. I also just recently acquired a quite nice leatherbound "New..St. Joseph's Daily Missal and Hymnal" published in 1967, when the Mass was more a less fairly similar to the Mass of 62, with the big change being English, rather than Latin. In other words, most of the prayers were there just as before, save the Judica Me. [The offertory and the canon of which, they SHOULD have kept without "alternate prayer, IMO!]
But here's the fun thing: A lot of these missals have helpful tidbits of information. So before the Mass given they will tell you background information about a Saint re: his feast day, etc. Here is the '62 and '50s Missal introduction to July 31st - the feast day of Ignacious Loyola:
"Ignatius, courtier and knight, was wounded at the siege of Pampeluna ['62 say "Pampelona".] During his long convalesence, the reading of the lives of the saints, revealed to him that the church militant needed an army of glorius in her fight with the forces of Satan: pagan, Mohammedans, Protestants, Jansenists, etc. He founded the Society of Jesus and as first General of the new spiritual chivalry he moved to the attack under the motto: "Ad majorem Dei Gloriam.: - "To the greater glory of God." He died with the Holy Name of Jesus on his lips, A.D. 1556."
How much tamer the '67 St. Joseph's missal is. For the same date:
"St. Ignatius, born in 1491 at the regal castle of Loyola, Spain, became a famous courtier and knight in the court of Ferdinand V. Woulded in the siege of Pampeluna, he retired to Manresa to lead a life of prayer and contemplation. After being ordained a priest, he founded the Society of Jesus to fight the forces of Satan."
Also, I find out little historical bits re: the calendar changes. One of the missals I have is from the 1920s. I've been puzzled now, for some time, why the 1920s 99.99% all latin Missal did not have a Mass for "The Immaculate Heart of Mary" which is frequently said at St. Anne's. While the new Baronius press Missal I have is quite good for giving ALL the Latin, I'd dearly love to strangle the editors for having Masses that are "too flippy"(that and too many "instructions and explainations in the Mass text -- put those in a separate section, dummies.) "Too flippy means I have to mark just the propers in more than 3 places. Dudes! I don't have enough ribbons for that, and that much flipping is a pain...so, being familiar enough with the Ordinary of the Mass now -- a lot of times I will use just this old 20s missal -- if I've had time to go over the propers before hand so I don't have to do all the flipping. (And the extra commems. are right in there too!) It works quite well as this little hand missal will at most (save the preface) have but two places I have to mark for the propers. THEY seemed to have a clue that some things can be too darn "flippy." But the frustration was in not having that one Immaculate Heart of Mary Mass. Couldn't for the life of me figure out why....UNTIL only this past Saturday.
It had long been staring me in the face that the 20s missal, in the few English pages referred to the "New" Mass of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It had been around since the 1800s, but had only been made "Universal" to the Church not all that long before. That Mass was celebrated as the Octave day to Corpus Christi. Corpus Christi was always on a Thursday, and this Sacred Heart Mass for Jesus was celebrated 8 days later, i.e. the 2nd Friday after Corpus Christi. The Amazing Fr. G. of St. Anne's parish, San Diego, has always announced this Mass -- just before the Mass is said on a Saturday Mass for the BVM. Not, without a little internal groaning, because everyone who attends the Saturday Mass knows it's a "flippy Mass" and scrambles. I'd wondered why this Mass was for "Aug. 22." And suddenly a lightbulb went on. Instead of pouting that there was no complete Mass in the '20s Missal, it occurred to me to look and see what it said for August 22. Sure enough: it didn't have a Mass per se, BUT ding-ding-ding-we-have-a-winner. What it said was "die 22 Augusti - In Octava (Hey!!!!) Assumptionis B. Marie Vir. etc.(and then it had some commems." SOOOOOOOO.... This "new Mass" was in response to Our Lady of Fatima requesting a Mass to her Sacred Heart. And in the early 20s the visionaries were still being examined, etc. So this Mass was something that came about as a universal Votive Mass much later!
I still want to ring the necks of the Baronius press people though. Dudes, if you gotta go to more than 3 places, have the propers for the Mass (save preface) in two places, at most. ESPECIALLY if it's a Mass said frequently, like this one is. You can afford a tissue paper thin page or two extra!

Ashish Kothari
sociologist and environmentalist, Kalpavriksh, Pune (Indien)

Professor of Workforce and Economic Development Policy, University of Greenwich, London (UK)
Chair: Martina Neuwirth, VIDC

"As it becomes abundantly clear that humanity as a whole has crossed the ecological limits of the earth, and that countries like China and India are fast joining the already-industrialised nations in stressing the planet even more, the search for radical alternatives is humanity's most urgent quest." (Ashish Kothari)
The globalised economy of the 21st century and the conditions that states have created for it have exacerbated inequalities in a way that the richest top 1 percent's income increases exponentially, leaving the 99 percent more and more behind.
The impressive growth rates of emerging countries like India or China have lifted millions of people out of poverty, but they have also impoverished many millions, and have created greater inequalities.
At the same time, scientists warn against an irreversible climate change and biodiversity loss. Their negative consequences will affect people in more vulnerable so-called developing countries more. The emerging countries' ecological footprint becomes bigger, whereas the main polluters are still western industrialized countries.
The global financial and economic crisis has exacerbated inequalities as well as imbalances and further weakened the political will to solve the ecological crisis.
In European countries the financial base of the middle classes – a traditional backbone of the state – is systematically eroded by (inevitable?) budget cuts. At the same time, pressure grows at all levels to face up to international competition – mostly at the expense of national social welfare systems. All this contributes to a sense of insecurity, leading to a growing support for nationalist and extremist movements.
But scientists as well as civil society activists discuss alternatives – searches for ways out of the "the winner takes it all" logic in which fundamental changes only produce few winners and many losers. There is a wide range of ideas and concepts, like the concept of 'buen vivir' (the "good life"), the ideas of a solidarity- or commons-based economy, de-growth initiatives, radical ecological democracy, or happiness indices.
Where do Ashish Kothari, Indian sociologist and environmental activist, and Özlem Onaran, a Turkish economist currently based at the University of Greenwich, see current transitions and upheavals? What are the opportunities and risks of these changes? Is growth-based capitalism compatible with ecological limits? Are there alternatives that can challenge the current economic paradigms – in the (global) South as well as in the (global) North?
Ashish Kothari is a founder-member of the environmental group Kalpavriksh. He has taught at the Indian Institute of Public Administration and coordinated India's National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan process. He served on Greenpeace International and Greenpeace India Boards and steering committees of two Commissions of IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature). He has also been active with various people's movements, and has authored and edited over thirty books. In 2012, he wrote together with Aseem Shrivastava "Churning the Earth. The Making of Global India", in which he challenged India's impressive but "predatory" economic growth story. Ashish Kothari currently focuses on Radical Ecological Democracy as an alternative to economic globalization.
Özlem Onaran is Professor of Workforce and Economic Development Policy at the University of Greenwich since 2012. Before she worked at the University of Westminster, Middlesex University, Vienna University of Economics and Business, the University of Applied Sciences-Berlin, Istanbul Technical University, the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, and Yapi Kredi Bank in Istanbul.
Her research focuses on the interaction of income distribution, demand, and growth; the financial crises and distributional consequences; the effects of international trade and foreign direct investment on wages, employment, and investment; the gender effects of international trade and economic crisis; and on the effects of globalization on the welfare states. She published articles in books and journals such as Cambridge Journal of Economics, World Development, Public Choice, Economic Inquiry, European Journal of Industrial Relations, International Review of Applied Economics, Structural Change and Economic Dynamics, Review of Political Economy, and Eastern European Economics.

I've made the coaling stage using Plastikard and a plaster casting of a coaling stage. The model still needs painting and weathering

Screw - fix
The cowling on the engine shed vents has caused me a little thinking. Until I saw on my workbench a small screw sitting base up. Now if I could just have the top part of the screw this might do. So armed with table vice and hacksaw the end result wasn't too bad. In the pictures below I've only posed the vent cover on the model. Since then I've inserted a small plastic rod into the Philips head of the screw driver and pushed this into the cut off biro I used as the actual pipe out of the engine roof shed. Some super glue made all good. So please ignore the general wonkiness of the cowling in the picture as the finished item(s) do look straight . Maybe a little oversized to be honest but one can count rivets too much.

We all want to live in a clean home, yet many household cleaners can contain harsh chemicals that can be harmful to the environment and our health. Luckily there are many cleaning products on the market today that do the job without the unwanted harmful ingredients. To help you clean and stay green, Timbercreek Communities created this shortlist of eco-friendly cleaning product brands we love.
Nature Clean
The Canadian based company Nature Clean offers a full line of products for all your cleaning needs. They are all non-toxic, biodegradable and effective. All of their products are also suitable for households with allergies as they are made without wheat, gluten, dairy or nuts.
Ecover has been making eco-friendly cleaning products for over 30 years. They are a time-tested and trusted brand for all your household cleaning needs and beyond as they also offer eco-friendly car and boat cleaners. They use the natural process of fermentation to achieve their environmentally safe and effective results. Their products are not tested on animals. Even their packaging is eco-friendly -- it's derived from plant based plastic and recycled plastic.
Seventh Generation
The mission statement for Seventh Generation is "to inspire a revolution that nurtures the health of the next seven generations." We think that's a pretty good goal! Their line of cleaners includes personal hygiene, baby products, laundry detergent and household cleaners -- all made with the same mission in mind.
DIY Cleaners Made from Common Household Items
If you're looking for a completely natural option, and you like to know exactly what goes into your cleaning products, look no further than your own kitchen. You can make your own cleaning products using simple and effective recipes using common household items. White vinegar and water makes a great spray cleaner, baking soda can make your bathtub sparkle, and lemon juice cleans while leaving a fresh scent behind. Give them a try, you may be surprised by the results!
We all want to keep our pets safe. There are many seasonal pet health hazards associated with fall. These dangers can lead to serious injury or worse. Luckily for pet owners, most of these hazards can be easily avoided. To help keep your pet safe this fall, Timbercreek has advice for how to avoid the most common fall pet hazards.
Leaf Piles
Leaf piles offer hours of fun for kids and adults, but the piles can pose hidden dangers to pets and humans. While seemingly soft and delightful, they're still airy piles of mostly, well, air. And with most of them residing on the street, they often house stones, pieces of metal or broken glass, dirt, and potentially large stones and concrete debris -- not to mention other animals (alive and/or dead!). Though seemingly harmless, keep an eye on your pet as they sniff around leaf piles.
As kids go back to school, university students return to town, and 9-to-5 workers get back to the grind after summer holidays, traffic increases. In addition, the decreasing daylight that comes with fall means lower visibility in the evenings. Cyclists, pedestrians, and cars all have a harder time spotting animals on the road. For your pet, that means increased danger - especially if they're outdoor cats, dogs that are used to being off-leash, or pets that have a tendency to run away. A quick walk before bed or a cracked door to get the mail can be the ideal opportunity for your pet to dart out into the street. Keep a watchful eye on your pet this season.
Off-leash Parks
Off-leash parks are usually safe public zones for dogs, but they still require caution from pet owners. Even the most urban of parks have wildlife like squirrels and raccoons, and parks close to water may have turtles, fish, and potentially even skunks. It's key to keep a close eye on your pet to avoid canine calamity and/or troublemaking.
Seasonal Plant Dangers
The Chrysanthemum is a classic fall flower. It can be toxic if ingested (the flower, stems, or leaves), and may cause Ataxia (stumbling), skin inflammation, Ptyalism (increased salivation), nausea/vomiting, and diarrhea. Other plants producing blooms with a toxic potential for dogs and cats include meadow saffron/autumn crocus and clematis. Mushrooms also appear in fall and some varieties are toxic. If you walk close to forested areas with your pet, have a look around the area for fall mushrooms and the other harmful plants we mentioned above. Learn more here.
Timbercreek hopes that this article helps keep your pets safe and sound this fall. For more information about Timbercreek Communities in your city, please visit our website.

Fall has finally arrived. It's a special time of year, full of beautiful colours and crisp, cool air. Don't let this short season pass you by -- Timbercreek has a list of some of the best fall activities for kids.
Make Handprint Fall Trees
Your kids will love making these Autumn Handprint Trees. They're easy for kids of almost any age to make and require very little preparation. All you need is a sheet of white cardstock paper, a pencil, paint (primary colours), paper plate paint palettes, and some Q-tips. Start by tracing a faint line around your child's hand and arm - this will form the trunk and branches of the tree. Mixing the paint is a great way to teach your kids about colours. Any kid can make brown, just mix them all together! For the leaves, experiment with mixing primary colours to get the fall shades you want. Use Q-tips, the pencil tip or even fingertips to add dots around the tree and watch it transform into something special.
Go On A Fall Scavenger Hunt
Getting outside and enjoying the brilliant colours and the cool air is a great way to make the most of fall. Rather than taking the kids out for a regular walk in the park, why not plan a fun Fall Scavenger Hunt! You can turn it into a chance for them to learn, too! This free printable animal camouflage scavenger hunt features frog cutouts. Your kids can colour them in fall shades and you can hide them in the fallen leaves. Set a timer and see how fast your kids can find them, while they learn about how animals avoid predators.
Paint Some Pumpkins
Pumpkins are a big and bright symbol of fall. Carving them into Jack O'Lanterns is fun, but not a great activity for younger kids. Put the knives away and break out the paint! The options of what to paint and how to paint your pumpkins are endless! Add some white to the top, some yellow to the bottom, and leave the middle orange for a candy corn inspired look that kids of all ages can create.
Make Leaf Crowns
You and your children will have a royally good time creating these Fall Leaf Crowns! All you need are some fallen leaves, a thin strip of cardboard (a cereal box will do nicely), and glue. All you have to do is glue the leaves to the cardboard and glue the cardboard into a circle! It's fun and easy and it makes your kids feel like kings and queens!
Timbercreek hopes that that these fall activities for kids help make your family's fall even brighter! To find your home with Timbercreek Communities across Canada, please visit our website.

Wonder Soil Discovered!
(Paso Robles, CA) June 5, 201¦ The Discovery of a "Wonder Soil Incomparable for Growing Premium Wine Grapes. In the latest university studies centered on Carmody McKnight Estate Vineyards & Winery (a series of seminal research projects which Cal Poly State University, SLO, in conjunction with other institutions including John Deere & Co. and the SoilTopo, LLC, launched 17 years ago) a stunning discovery has occurred the discovery of a new "wonder soil" found nowhere else on the planet. Over 25,000 USDA soil series reviews were conducted and not one single match was found. The soil is yet to be named, but it is indeed wondrous with attributes unparalleled for the highest quality wine grape growing. The discovery happened on long-studied, leading-edge vineyards located in the Paso Robles Appellation. The pioneering proprietors are Gary Conway, Marian McKnight, and Kathleen Conway.
This "wonder soil" classifies into the "smectite" mineralogy class by the USDA soil taxonomy. The predominate clay particles are calcium montmorillonite. It is rare to find any similar soil, which is this shallow in relation to the weathered igneous (volcanic) bedrock. This revelation occurred during the most recent Cal Poly, SLO soil mapping project, conducted on Carmody McKnight Estate Vineyards & Winery and led by Thomas J. Rice, Ph.D., C.P.S.S. It ultimately required comparing this unique soil with over 25,000 USDA soil series worldwide and no comparable soil was found!
This "wonder soil" for wine grapes possesses an extraordinary balance of macronutrient (Ca, Mg, P, S, N and K) and micronutrient (Fe, Mn, Cu, etc.) contents. Significantly, the soil is notable for its extremely high cation exchange capacity (CEC), virtually a sponge for nutrients and water. The very high CEC results from the favorably elevated organic matter and smectite levels in this soil. The CEC complex in the soil retains a wide array of cationic nutrients (Ca, Mg, K, etc.), which support healthy, nutrient-rich grapes producing the most flavorfully profound and complex wines, naturally derived.
"Corn flakes-looking" particles -- smectite (montmorillonite) clay minerals, magnified over 1,000 times by a scanning electron miscope (SEM)
This newly discovered soil highlights montmorillonite character as a powerful adsorptive for heavy metals, toxins, and other hazardous chemicals. The antibacterial effects are also well established. In addition to being a plant nutrient reservoir, the soil provides a protective detoxifying environment for grape vines.

More on Wonder Soils
Carmody McKnight Vineyards have been the subject of extensive university program research with CalPolyUniversity in San Luis Obispo due to the rarity of the soils derived from calcareous shale, limestone and igneous (volcanic) rocks as well as calcium montmorillonite -- "the wonder soil." As this confluence of soil constituents are found nowhere else, the Carmody McKnight vineyards are particularly suitable for these innovative technological investigations and agricultural applications. For the first time, the centuries-long quest to understand "terroir" is at hand! The vineyards are the supreme example of sustainability in farming.
In the book Terroir by James E. Wilson, the author describes the legendary soils of France. He describes calcium montmorillonitewhich in France is called "the wonder soil,"the swelling clays." Wilson states that calcium montmorillonite is characterized by its incredible cation-exchange capacity (cations are atoms or molecules with a positive electrical charge and the ability to hold a large amount of plant essential nutrients). This quality is as vital to the life functioning of the vineplant as oxygen is to the human bloodstream. It is how plants get their nutrients and neutralize toxic chemicals.
Calcium montmorillonite has the unique property of extraordinary moisture retention -- qualities contributing to supreme balance. Limestone and calcium montmorillonite are the two most important soil constituents in the renowned French vineyards known to contribute to wine greatness, and without them wine inferiority. Do they exist in California? Almost nowhere. Not in Napa, nor Sonoma. Not in Santa Barbara. Limestone and calcium montmorillonite exist in the Carmody McKnight vineyards in abundance!
It also has to be noted that in the Carmody McKnight vineyards there is a third component a backyard volcano, three of them -- rare volcanic intrusion, guaranteeing the most mineral abundant wine and the cleanest, purest varietal expression!
Calcium Montmorillonite Clay :: A Miracle of Life
Calcium Montmorillonite is a naturally occurring mineral compound that exists beneath the earth's surface. Pronounced "mont-more-ill-o-night," it is a uniquely versatile all natural substance that has been tried, tested and studied for over 100 years.
There are only a limited number of Calcium Montmorillonite deposits around the world. The first site was discovered in Montmorillon, France in the 1800s, hence the name, Montmorillonite. For centuries Native American healers used it internally and externally in the treatment of a variety of illnesses. In years past sailing vessels departing from France were known to store clay on board for the treatment of dysentery as well as other ailments. Animals, domestic and wild alike, instinctually drawn to clay deposits have been observed licking the clay as part of their everyday diet, and rolling in it to obtain relief from injuries.
A recognized detoxifying agent, nutrient and bactericidal Calcium Montmorillonite is in the smectite group of clays. Only those clays within the smectite group have the ability to absorb. Its power as a detoxifying substance comes from its inherent ability to adsorb and absorb. Its unique ability to grow and change (adsorb) is the reason for its classification and recognition as a "Living Clay." The color of clay is determined by the mixture and ratio of elements contained within it. Hydro-thermal exposures over long periods of time affect the clay in two important aspects; it becomes negatively charged and crystallized. As a result of the crystallization process the clay is reduced into small particles that make it easy for the body to assimilate. The negative charges on the clay give it the ability to adsorb or attract positively charged toxic matter, which is then absorbed into the clay and dispelled from the body as waste.
In addition to the role it plays as a potent detoxifier, Calcium Montmorillonite has also been used extensively in the treatment of pain, open wounds, colitis, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, stomach ulcers, intestinal problems, acne, anemia, and a variety of other health issues.
Calcium Montmorillonite contains no less than 67 minerals. This impressive assortment of minerals includes calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, manganese, and silica as well as trace elements, those appearing in very tiny amounts. The mineral content being extremely high sets the stage for replenishing dietary deficiencies. Today more than ever before, diets are lacking essential trace minerals and micronutrients. Without the basic minerals, life cannot exist; without trace minerals, major deficiencies may develop. Lack of either will make it impossible for the body to maintain good health and function properly. In clay the minerals occur in natural proportion to one another encouraging their absorption in the intestinal tract. Natural Calcium Montmorillonite restores minerals in the tissues where they are needed. Furthermore, minerals are the carriers of the electrical potential in the cells which enable the hormones, vitamins, and enzymes to function properly.
As mentioned above "Living Clay" is known to have been used historically as an effective antibacterial in the treatment of dysentery, and as a means of decontaminating water. Presently it is being used internationally to clarify and balance small and large bodies of water. This is so because "Living Clay" particles are smaller than many bacteria; when bacteria encounter an environment abundant in clay it becomes surrounded by the clay, and imbedded in it. The immediate result is that the bacteria are unable to receive nourishment and cannot survive.
The dominant approach in health care today is from the viewpoint that considers the notion of parts. The diagnosis of illness is often arrived at by looking for a specific disease by relying on symptoms surfacing in an apparently localized part or parts of the body. Once identified a specific medication for a specific problem is applied. Only recently has medical science begun once again, to explore the idea that health problems surface as a result of disease in the whole system, not just one or more of the parts. The immune system intimately affects each organ on a fundamental level, which spans the boundaries of all the body's vital functions. This is critical to understanding the cause of chronic and degenerative disease. The body's vital systems are dependent on each other. The presence of disease in any system impacts all systems. A lifestyle without substantial nutrition, sufficient rest, a proper balance of stress, and numerous other factors can weaken the immune system. Malfunction of the immune system leads to infectious disease. It is unrealistic to treat parts, and expect a whole result.
Because of its inherent healing properties, clay has long been recognized as a subject worthy of study. It is included as such, in many educational institutions today, which teach pharmacology, herbology, and nutrition. Calcium Montmorillonite is currently being utilized in hospitals outside of the United States where it has already proven its effectiveness. In recent years clay has become a topic of discussion in numerous publications. Recently more information has become available outlining the important role Calcium Montmorillonite can play in the recovery and maintenance of health. It has also been receiving significant recognition by the health care community, as a proven and much overlooked natural alternative remedy in the prevention and cure of disease.
Recent exposure has spurred the interest of people around the world, prompting them to seek out reliable high quality resources for clay. This well deserved notoriety is serving to educate the public about this natural healing agent, as a true "Miracle of Life."
While Calcium Montmorillonite is a powerful nutrient and detoxifier it is important to recognize that it is a part of a total health care system. Healing benefits may result from internal and/or external clay applications. The clay may be ingested, applied as a poultice, and/or used in a bath.
Calcium Montmorillonite is thought to exist in Romane-Conti, a Fench vineyard that dates back well over a thousand year, but barely a resource compared to Carmody McKnight. The wine from Romane-Conti's four acres can sell up to $14,000 a bottle. The secret is in the soil!

What is life like in National City without Supergirl? This week's amazing episode answers that question.
The episode starts off right where we left off last week with Supergirl and Mon-El taking on Reign. Props to Lena here for staying calm enough to make her black kryptonite concoction with all the fighting going on around her. In the end, Sam and Reign are separated and Reign vanished into thin air.
With the threat of Reign seemingly gone, Kara goes back to Argo City and live with her mother. Mon-El joins her on the trip so he can send a signal to the Legion. But all good things must come to an end as the Daughters of the Night make themselves known by making attempts on Kara's life. To make matters worse, they left for Earth on J'onn's ship, leaving Kara, Mon-El and Alura stranded on Argo. Something tells me a certain "Legion" ship will come help get them back to earth.
With Supergirl out of town for a while, J'onn, Guardian and the D.E.O. prove that they can keep the city safe…as long as there is no massive alien threat. When J'onn discovers that modified D.E.O. weapons have hit the streets, he leads the charge to rid the city of them. In doing this, he also decides the D.E.O. is going to change with Winn making a line of non lethal weapons for all agents. This episode's focus on another major political issue in the U.S. that is gun control is great. The Supergirl writers have, again, done a great job at tackling these current events by looking at these issues from both sides. I'd like to give a shout out to David Harewood here too. His scene talking a gun wielding man down near the end of the episode was AMAZING.
Alright now, what did you all think of this episode? Are you feeling like me and thinking the writers should've saved Kara leaving for the season finale? Or will there even be an Argo City left by the time the season ends? I guess only time will tell. Check out the trailer for the penultimate episode below.
