There?s a lot more to America than just the east and west coasts. Today, innovative American design--in clothing, home decor, even gardening--is emerging from the Midwest. So lay your bicoastal biases aside, and let Amy Butler show you what?s happening in the heartland.Helping her fans jumpstart their own creative spark is Butler?s fashion credo, and her approach has won her a huge following. Her Mid Mod philosophy--neither homespun nor haute couture--is as up to the minute as it is firmly rooted in Midwest tradition. Emphasizing simplicity and integrity of craft, Butler is passionate about recycling materials, reinventing vintage looks, and taking joy in the homemade. Her approach--drawing its inspiration from the natural world and the lives of real people--is organic in every sense of the word.Amy Butler?s Midwest Modern brings the many aspects of its author?s vision into focus, from re-imagining the home as a retreat for relaxation and dreaming, to picturing the body as a canvas for creating one?s personal style, to looking to nature as a sketchbook for design ideas. Vibrantly illustrated, the book underscores design?s practical side, with information on budgeting money and time, a shopping resources list, and how-to projects in every chapter.

In this one-of-a-kind book, she shares her everyday suggestions for spiritual renewal through connecting with nature. The meditations, ceremonies, and spell craft in MAKING MAGIC WITH GAIA spring from an ancient Pagan tradition of earth stewardship, which blends deep ecology, magic, and activism to bring the reader into a closer communion and harmony with Mother earth. Packed with practical suggestions (recycling, gardening without pesticides, and conserving water) and mystical rituals (shamanism, crystal magic, and Power Animals) for helping the planet, this book is written for anyone with a spiritual ecological awareness. Not the witchcraft of Gothic novels, MAKING MAGIC WITH GAIA is based on a modern religion with ancient roots that can heal the Earth as it heals the practitioner. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.

Or (Dana Ivgy) is a 16-year-old girl who does all she can to support her mother, Ruthie (Ronit Elkabetz), a sick and aging prostitute. The film takes great care in showing the taxing daily routines of Or`s life: recycling loose cans, washing dishes in a local restaurant, and going to school when she can. Her ultimate goal is to earn enough money so that her mother never has to walk the streets again. Or even finds a housekeeping job for her mother in hopes that she`ll stop turning tricks. It soon becomes clear that Or must assume all of the strains and responsibility of the household to help her poor mother, and thus the traditional roles of parent and child are reversed. Other films might make a character like Ruthie contemptible, but Yedaya does not. Indeed, there are some loving scenes between this mother and daughter who truly need each other. In OR (MY TREASURE), Yedaya achieves a unique look, including a minimal amount of shots per scene, and a gritty, no-frills aesthetic. The result is an unflinching and compelling film that won the Golden Camera for Best First Film at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.

During the past four decades he's reviewed and revised the basic principles of his philosophy many times, sometimes as an exercise in personal growth, but more often in response to individual crisis. Then at fifty, seeking a simplicity to counter the complex thinking of his college years, Fulghum wrote a summary essay professing that all he really needed to know he learned in kindergarten. As he approached his sixtieth year, Fulghum became curious about what in his outlook had changed and what had endured. On review, Fulghum explains, everything he has ever said and thought and written is transparent to him now. As hard as he has tried to speak in his own voice, much of what he's said is neither original nor unique. The best ideas are often old and are continually being revived, recycled, renewed. Wherever his search took him, Fulghum found that someone else has been there before. And more often than not, that person has chosen words Fulghum wishes he had written, using language he can't improve upon. To Fulghum, however, this isn't a discouraging realization. It's a recognition n of companionship, which is an affirming consolation. The confirming statements, quotes, and credos that Fulghum recorded in his journals for years are collected here, representing the most important ideas underlying his living and thinking. They are organized thematically into such chapters as Companions, God, Bene-Dictions, Contra-Dictions, Simplify, and Believe. Each begins with Fulghum's own insightful, introductory words, followed by inspiring passages drawn from a diverse group of sources, from Jerry Garcia to Albert Camus, Dylan Thomas to Franz Kafka. At the end of each chapter, Fulghum offers readers his own personal commentary on the sources--where he was introduced to their words, why he returns to them again and again, and how they may change you.

Ika and Rami Hamburg's studio employs several handicapped, yet gifted people who are involved in stone setting, glass cutting, and finishing work. Imbuing a sense of antiquity while retaining modernity, their jewelry is made from silver that has been recycled from classic and ancient silver. Their use of 2000 year old roman glass testifies of their unique craft. Inlaying roman glass, precious stones, and pearls into their brand of silver, rather than bezel setting them, results in a rich mosaic texture and look.

Everything you need to know in order to gain these instructional skills is presented in a clearly written, interesting format. Step-by-step implementation ideas, relevant student feedback, and an easy-to-use chart of teacher guidelines clearly illustrate how phonemic awareness, phonics, print awareness, and vocabulary can be incorporated into writing lessons; how this system can be used with ESL learners; and how it can be adapted to meet your specific goals. Dozens of lessons that are ideal for sparking the interest of early writers are accompanied by a description of why and how it improves writing. Topics covered include: the writing continuum, grouping options, building on favorite words, creating research murals, current events skills, illustrations and context, story innovations, writing poetry, science and interactive writing, recycled writing, using the computer, teaching revision, interactive writing as an assessment tool, and writing with older novice writers.

Through excerpts from college texts and well-crafted exercises, English learners study the Academic Word List -- the most frequently used words in academic texts. To help students reach a fuller understanding of the new vocabulary, each chapter provides a series of exercises on word meaning and word families. In addition, collocations exercises develop students` ability to form natural partnerships between the target vocabulary and other words. Features Seven units focus on a variety of subject areas, such as social change, consumer behavior, natural resources, and music. Each chapter carefully recycles the target vocabulary four times in reading passages and vocabulary-building exercises. The collocation exercises -- based on the 179-million-word New Longman Corpus -- reflect how academic words are actually used in real contexts. Strategy Practice chapters offer tips for dictionary usage, information about word roots and affixes, and methods for expanding students` word knowledge. An Expansion section at the end of each chapter provides additional reading, discussion, and writing activities that broaden students` understanding of vocabulary. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
