I just completed the top for a wall quilt over our staircase, and am ready to quilt this stained glass quilt. Its completed length will be 90" and 25" wide. I don't have fancy stitches, so it will be just straight stitches. So...
1. Do I stitch in the ditch around the black sashing.
2. Do I stitch down the center of the sashing.
3. Do I use a double needle and catch both the colored strip and the sashing.
The colored strips are now 2-1/4"

I would appreciate to hear (read) your opinions.
After two takes of the video, I decided a written tutorial would be more easily understood. Now my goal is to try to figure out how and where I need to put it up so you can see it. Think I got it!
Yesterday I did a video about sashing and cornerstones and an easier way to make it happen. Today my goal is to get it up on youtube so I can post a link for all to see. Many of you probably already know the technique, but on Wednesday I got a quilt in to work on that needed this help, so I know there are people out there who can benefit from it. Happy Stitching

Wilson Ramos's successful rehab from right knee surgery remains one of the brightest storylines from Nationals' spring training, but it has turned from a happy subplot to a significant development for the Nationals' early-season plans. Ramos has made such a rapid and complete recovery it convinced the Nationals to change how often they play him and Kurt Suzuki.
Manager Davey Johnson indicated this morning Ramos and Suzuki will split playing time evenly to start the season. The Nationals, it seems, will have co-starting catchers, a change of plans from the winter, when Nationals officials said they planned to play Suzuki roughly two-thirds of games as Ramos eased his way back from the torn ACL and meniscus he suffered last May.
Ramos, though, already is playing full games, and he has practiced at the same pace of the Nationals' other catchers since early in camp. As Johnson played his regular starts this past week, he alternated on a daily basis between Ramos and Suzuki. Johnson plans to have them share duties for the Nationals' exhibition Friday at Nationals Park.
"I look at them both pretty much being on equal footing into the year," Johnson said. "I plan basically to continue what we're doing this spring."
The planned timeshare speaks to how well Ramos recovered. Through his rehab, Ramos has lost weight and become more agile now than before he tore his ligaments. He feels better about his defense and conditioning, too.
Last season, Suzuki became the Nationals' everyday catcher after coming over in a trade from Oakland. He replaced Jesus Flores and thrived down the stretch. Even as Suzuki established himself, the Nationals still considered Ramos, 25, their catcher of the future. Still, they were happy to have Suzuki under team control for 2013, too, because they expected Ramos to have a slow return.
Johnson, though, expected Ramos to emerge healthy this spring.
"Knowing Ramos the way I did, I felt like he would be very aggressive in his conditioning," Johnson said. "He may be a little bit behind as far as the catching stuff, and I thought also the mental stuff, he'd be on pretty good restrictions. But [team trainers] lifted those pretty quick. He's been doing everything everybody else is doing from Day 1."

Would like to get the Glutathione podcast from last week, but it is not listed yet? Plus of course the show I did on The Health Benefits of Chocolate on Oct 25, 2012. How do I get the GSH one too?
P.S. When you hit the Contact us it goes nowhere.
Great show today on human rights and justice for all. It's a pleasure working with Chad and Dean. I received some positive feedback from people who listened to the show. Today Show was on illegal in 4 years of the legal immigrant and their financial impact on United States. As well as the moral implications and the power inbalance between the criminal employers and the people that they employ.
Hello, can you please send me the podcast for the Thursday (8-1-13) "On The Inside with Emma" show at 4:00 with Melissa Wyatt.
Trying to drum up sponsors for the show. Thank you!

HARRIS COUNTY (KHOU) –- An off-duty Harris County Sheriff's deputy shot and killed a man who allegedly attacked another person with a knife outside a restaurant north of Houston.
The stabbing and subsequent shooting went down outside the Michoacan restaurant along the North Freeway near E. Airtex Drive.
A spokesman for the sheriff's office said a fight started between two men inside the restaurant, and the altercation carried over into the parking lot.
Witnesses said one of the men pulled out a gun and fired shots, but the bullets didn't hit anyone. One of the men then pulled out a knife and stabbed the other man, according to investigators.
An off-duty deputy working security at a neighboring business witnessed the attack and pulled out his weapon, ordering the suspect to drop the knife. The deputy said the man not only ignored the commands to drop the knife, he continued to attack the other man. The deputy opened fire, killing the suspect.
The gunfire sent bystanders running.
"I went to the kitchen and stayed there until everything calmed down," said one witness. "I think they were drunk and fighting for a reason, but I'm not sure for what."
The stabbing victim was sent to the hospital in serious but stable condition.
Witnesses later told deputies the altercation started when two women, the alleged girlfriends of the men who fought in the parking lot, bumped into each other in the restaurant.

A Reggie with no homers? Say it ain't so
Angels' Willits remains in search of first career round-tripper
By Doug Miller / MLB.com
Reggie Jackson hit three dingers on three straight pitches in Game 6 of the 1977 World Series -- the shots that won a ring and launched a candy bar -- and retired with 563 long balls, the Mr. October moniker and a cozy spot on the wall in the Hall of Fame.
And then there's the only Reggie currently in the Major Leagues, outfielder Reggie Willits of the Angels, who has a home run distinction all to himself.
Willits, all 5-foot-11, 185 pounds of him, has more at-bats without a home run than anyone in the Majors right now. As of Thursday, he'd gone 347 games and 744 at-bats with no taters.
Does he know it? You bet he does. And how could he not know it with everybody around him chirping about it all the time?
"Every day I'm hearing something about not having any power," Willits says. "Too many things. Most of them I probably can't repeat. But my teammates give me [grief] about a lot of things, and that's just one of them."
It's a big one, though.
While Willits is merely expected to provide spark in a lineup with his wheels and his eye (he has 39 career stolen bases and a career on-base percentage of .363), he wouldn't mind seeing one of his occasional fly balls leave the yard.
"I've been close several times," says Willits, who hit 15 homers in 1,895 at-bats in the Minor Leagues. "But I'd like to sneak one over the wall just to get the monkey off my back."
There's hope for Willits. Because even a light-hitting second baseman named Duane Kuiper ran into one.
A look at the back of Kuiper's baseball card reveals that glorious, stately numero uno, a lonely buoy in a sea of zeroes. Twelve years, 1,057 games, 3,379 at-bats. One home run.
Kuiper, now a San Francisco Giants broadcaster, was a Cleveland Indians second baseman when he went deep. It was Aug. 29, 1977, three years and 1,381 at-bats into his career, at Cleveland's Municipal Stadium, when he launched a 1-0 Steve Stone fastball deep into the night.
"I did envy the guys that would hit 20, 30 a year," Kuiper says now. "I always thought it would be pretty cool to run easy around the bases when your whole life you had to haul [your tail off] everywhere you'd go.
"But it was a big deal to hit one. It still is. I mean, a lot of people come out to the park to see that."
Yes, home runs are serious business.
Just ask Royals catcher Jason Kendall, who, when a member of the Oakland A's in 2005, went a whole year without one. He finally connected for one -- one -- in 2006. It happened on May 31.
"I just ran into it," Kendall says. "Once in a while you run into it. Usually if I hit a home run, I'm usually past second base before I see the umpire tell me it's out."
His teammates, who had been riding him about the drought, poured onto the field in front of the dugout as he rounded the bases, greeting him like a returning hero.
But in Anaheim, Willits still waits.
He estimates that he's hit four balls off the tops of walls in big league parks, including "one off the top of the baggie in Minnesota" last year. But he's not exactly encouraged to hit homers.
In fact, when he puts one out in batting practice, Angels manager Mike Scioscia makes him run a lap around the field.
"It's not my game," he says. "It's not what I'm supposed to do."
Still, he hopes that one day he'll trot around those bases after hitting his first big league home run.
"You'd think I'd run into one eventually," Willits says with a laugh. "Maybe I will."

Sitting between Tampa and Orlando, it's home to numerous beautiful lakes and majestic towers, several world-class collections of vintage aircrafts, and the largest land of LEGOs in the entire world. There sure are plenty of places to play, to explore, and to reflect at in this Polk County area, where every day is the perfect day to bask in the glory of warm sunshine, refreshing waters, soft sands, rolling hills, and a diverse population of historic neighborhoods.
Everything you need for a perfect vacation is in and around this glorious city-- whether you are looking for a quick bite, some wild adventure, or just to spend a little down time with the entire family. Eat, drink, play, and be merry at this literal Sunshine State haven.
Just an hour away from the theme parks of Orlando, Florida are fifty or so lakes that continue to lure bass fishing and waterskiing enthusiasts to slip on those skis, or to get out those fishing rods for some fun on the water. There's tons to do for those hoping to have themselves a lakeside adventure, as Winter Haven's famous Chain of Lakes has offered pulsating water-oriented activities since the 1930s. You should also be prepared to reel in the catch of a lifetime, as the area's often been deemed as the "Bass Fishing Capital of the World!"
Go wild by trying out barefoot skiing, or head on out to the Water Ski Hall of Fame for a quick tour—it was established in 1982 to honor the pioneering skiers who put the extreme sport onto the map. You can also do some fly boarding at spaces such as Absolute Aqua Sports, or some paddle boarding starting at Lake Summit before making time to visit tourist faves such as LEGOLAND Florida, which spans 145 acres and is home to more than fifty rides, a waterpark, as well as a botanical garden. Kiddies will also love the Safari Trek, where Jeep ride-alongs offer the perfect African safari experience in the form of life-like LEGO animals! Be sure to take a stroll to the Bok Tower Gardens, a spacious 250-acre botanical haven offering lily pads, koi ponds, and great photo ops, or to enjoy a walk around the Fantasy of Flight Air Museum. What's more is that Winter Haven is also just an all-around excellent location to raise a family, to retire at, or to enjoy a mild climate-filled Floridian getaway no matter what time of the year it is.
With Disney World, Busch Gardens, SeaWorld, and Universal Studios all within an hour's drive, Winter Haven is the perfect "home base" for vacations. You and the fam bam can also explore wildlife ops to your hearts content just outside of the city at the Circle B Bar Reserve in nearby Lakeland, Florida, which was named by USA TODAY as one of the top places in the nation to see wildlife. Gawk over snakes, bobcats, and alligators galore within almost 1,300 acres of vast natural space. For something even more exciting, why not take an Airboat Nature Tour in nearby Lake Wales, Florida by hopping aboard a six-person wonder to explore Central Florida's best swamps and marshlands (which are home to rare birds such as egrets and hawks, as well as some super large gators!)?
Other fun outings include Camp Mack's River Resort, a recreation event venue also in Lake Wales, Florida with water access on the Kissimmee River that leads into both Lake Kissimmee and Lake Hatchineha. It's located on a super quiet stretch and serves as a superb launching pad for fishing excursions. Shell crackers, bluegills, crappies, and good old Florida largemouth bass are just some some of the many prized catches you'll be taking home with you after an afternoon out on the water. What are you waiting for?
Let's just say that Winter Haven boasts a wide variety of accommodations-- from up-scale hotspots to affordable family-friendly options—you'll no doubt be able to find somewhere nice to rest off at within an extensive listing of inns, hotels, motels, resorts, and vacation rentals. There's certainly something for every taste and budget such as the luxurious Shergill Grand Hotel or the comfy Lake Roy Beach Inn, to the more wallet-friendly Rodeo Inn & Suites, Hampton Inn Winter Haven, or Rose Motel. Vacation rentals and camping options also come aplenty as well. So no matter what kind of plans you have in mind, there's a fantastic spot to relax and unwind in.
Major routes in and around Winter Haven include US 17, State Road 540, State Road 542, and State Road 544—making the area perfect for those looking to travel on four wheels. What's more is that the streets of downtown are neatly arranged in a grid plan, allowing them to be super easy to navigate for all roadsters, as two sets of lettered avenues and streets run conveniently parallel in both directions.
For those looking to hop on a train, there's also Amtrak service at the local station, as well as commuter bus services that are offered courtesy of Winter Haven Area Transit and the Citrus Connection. Jet-setters looking to fly should come and go via Winter Haven's Gilbert Airport and the adjacent Jack Browns Seaplane Base, both of which are located just three miles northwest of the central business district.

On the plus side, I think you have some great colouring skills, the eyes are well handled and the lighting is beautiful. That hair is so yummy.
The proportions are a bit off/confusing. if you intended it this way because you're going for something like a chibi style, then you are mixing too many elements together for that to work effectively (proportion issues, large breasts, etc), and if you're going for something more realistic the same things apply. I guess what I mean is that the combination of elements are a bit confusing. Overall it's well done though, so keep it up :)
I'll keep that in mind, thank you very much for your feedback!

Anyone who has worked in support of the liberty movement knows an unfortunate truth: it is all too often associated, rightly or wrongly, with "conspiracy theories" -- those all too often unsubstantiated, speculative viewpoints on various topics such as the assassination of JFK, the attempted assassination of Reagan, 9/11, the role of the Rockefellers and Rothschilds in modern world history, and the current doings of the Bilderbergers, Trilateral Commission, and the Council on Foreign Relations. The problem is that liberty's enemies are very aware of this association as well and they use it to their advantage. Too often freedom's detractors slander the liberty movement as being filled with conspiracy nuts and other wackos.
But you know what? In this regard, the dissidents have a point.
Now before any of you David-Icke-website-readers throw your latest edition of The Committee of 300 at your computer screen out of frustration, please know that I could care less if you believe that the Queen of England is the head of a vast secret organization hell-bent on making the United States English colonies again; or, that the Illuminati has been working for 300 years to reduce all mankind to slavery; or, that the Rothschilds have surreptitiously started every war since 1850 through their financing of national governments. Obviously, what you choose to believe is your prerogative and your right.
I can even admire many of the conspiracy theorists for their zeal in trying to bring to light corruption and some of the important questions they have raised (Why did Tower 7 fall anyway?) which poke holes in the "official" story. But at the end of the day, those same issues, no matter how entertaining or interesting, only become road blocks in furthering liberty, because no one wants to discuss universal healthcare, TARP, the deficit, or the War on Terror with someone who leads the discussion with "9/11 was an inside job" or "JFK was assassinated because he was going to get rid of the Federal Reserve."
More pragmatically, with regards to the furtherance of liberty, conspiracy theories, more often than not, are irrelevant. Most people are not concerned with whether there is a secret organization or two or three, etc. that controls the world's leaders and aims to bring every nation under a one world government. Most people are, however, concerned with their individual liberties and the governmental measures that result in their loss.
Why then worry yourselves about Freemasonry, the Bohemian Grove, or some meeting of the super-rich once a year on some resort inaccessible to the public? Your worrying may be justified, but your focus on conspiracy rather than the competing philosophies of freedom on the one hand and coercion on the other may actually hurt rather than help the liberty movement.
The liberty movement seeks to fight force and coercion no matter who seeks to do the forcing and coercing; and, the liberty movement fights bad ideas, no matter who holds or promotes them. Whether those who work to deprive us of our liberty are doing so in furtherance of a grand plan to become masters of the universe or are simply ignorant of the consequences of their actions is not the pinnacle of the liberty debate. Liberty lovers will fight for truth regardless.
That is not to say that some conspiracy theories do not warrant attention, or even, that there are not some that are true. And, if such a theory is actually true, it would naturally follow that others should be made aware of such a diabolical scheme. I do not mean to discount every theory out there and I do not wish to convey that anyone who believes in such theories is automatically a nut.
I do wish to convey, however, that conspiracy theories, and those who are fixated with such, tend to do more harm than good to the liberty movement, because they focus on conspiracy rather than philosophy.
The liberty movement needs converts... many many converts, but disseminating information about conspiracy theories is not a very effective way to obtain converts.
The only way that someone becomes a true convert is through having a change of heart and mind by accepting the philosophy of freedom. Convincing someone that the government is building FEMA camps all over the country to be used as concentration camps is really not going to convince the typical taxpaying, reality-TV-watching, one-beer-a-day-drinking American that Obama's policies are the same/just as bad as Bush's.
The liberty movement must become a movement based on rationality, common sense, objectivity, and deductive argumentation; and, unfortunately, conspiracy theories, whether true or not, are all too often based on unfounded inferences.
Our focus as liberty lovers, therefore, should be on: (1) educating ourselves in the philosophy of freedom; and, (2) educating others.
Educating Ourselves
John Adams once said that he had to study war and politics so that his sons would have the liberty to study philosophy and mathematics. Mr. Adams certainly contributed to our liberty to study philosophy, but how many of us have studied the philosophy of liberty?
The "philosophy of liberty" (or the "philosophy of freedom") is not a term heard much in the halls of academia. It is rarely discussed or compared with other more popular philosophies such as nihilism, humanism, communism, fascism, socialism, statism, totalitarianism, etc. But rest assured, there is a thriving sector of academia led by the likes of the Ludwig von Mises Institute ("LvMI"), the Foundation for Economic Education, and others, that is dedicated to the philosophy of freedom,.
Thanks to the internet and groups like LvMI, the great works that embody the philosophy of freedom are at our fingertips. Now anyone can educate himself with the best thinkers of all time. LvMI is an excellent place to start. LvMI provides thousands of pieces of literature, including entire books by some of the world's most thought provoking philosophers and economists, for free. It also has loads of audio and video files so you can watch and listen to lectures on free market economics, foreign policy, and constitutional and legal issues. (Disclaimer -- I have no affiliation with LvMI... I just really like what it does.)
A study of the classics, specifically the Greek and Roman classics, is also necessary to a well- rounded and thorough education in the philosophy of freedom. Studying the ancient historians such as Herodotus, Thucydides, Livy, Tacitus, and Plutarch will give the reader an understanding of the consequences of abandoning principles of liberty for those of force and statism.
Likewise, a study of the more "recent" philosophers such as Thomas Aquinas, Spinoza, Adam Smith, Cervantes, Locke, etc. will present age-old ideas to the reader in ways that will encourage the reader to conclude for himself that the philosophy of freedom is the only philosophy that can have lasting beneficial consequences.
Liberty lovers may also want to consider investing in Encyclopedia Britannica's Great Books of the Western World or the Harvard Classics to get a bookshelf full of some of the greatest works of all time which promote or otherwise enlighten the reader of the necessity of the philosophy of freedom.
The liberty lover should also familiarize himself with liberty's competing philosophies so as to better understand their weaknesses. In doing so it will become apparent that all other philosophies shrink when matched against the philosophy of freedom. That is because freedom is truth... and the truth will set you free.
When one is armed with knowledge of the principles of liberty people are more inclined to listen, and even if they don't agree at first, the message of liberty will at least spark an interest in their minds that may eventually grow into a fire.
Educating Others
Perhaps the best way to describe how to go about educating others in the philosophy of freedom is that American adage spoken by Teddy Roosevelt: "Speak softly and carry a big stick." The philosophy of freedom is our "big stick" -- it speaks for itself. In wielding that stick we must do so with care and let it do the talking.
Liberty lovers need not be disrespectful, pushy, or demonstrate an in-your-face mentality with our brethren who may not yet realize that the philosophy of freedom is the only sure way to prosperity and peace.
I recently read a blog post by Paul Krugman wherein he alleged that certain Ron Paul supporters/adherents of Austrian economics rudely interrupted a presentation he was giving at Baruch College. I was not there, so I do not know the specifics, but to the extent these individuals -- whom I am sure were frustrated with Krugman's continued support of failed Keynesian policies -- acted inappropriately, I hope that in looking back they will realize that their actions did not likely result in convincing anyone that free market economics is superior to central planning.
Similarly, liberty lovers should avoid veering from the actual issues being discussed. This is where conspiracy theorists can cause so much harm. For example, if governmental/bureaucratized "free trade" is the issue (i.e., NAFTA, GATT, etc.) discuss the economic benefits/detriments of such treaties. Shy away from implications that such measures are advocated by the global elite in an attempt to undermine the national sovereignty and economy of the United States. Again, even if true, it does not matter, if your goal is to capture the hearts and minds of men.
Those liberty lovers who are not versed in the philosophy of freedom tend to argue tangential issues which have little positive effect on the listener. Just look at some of the anti-Paul/Austrian comments left by the pro-Krugmanites on the blog post referenced above. I can only presume that those who left such comments have had more experience with liberty lovers who fall under the category of "conspiracy theorists" than those who have a solid foundation in Austrian economics and the classics.
The liberty movement needs to work toward focusing itself on philosophy rather than conspiracy, and that can only happen if liberty lovers themselves become acquainted with the philosophy of liberty, and then learn to communicate that philosophy effectively. In doing so, the liberty movement will gain converts in droves, which just may lead to the liberty movement finally reaching its destination.

Lucknow, Aug 12 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh government today announced to provide sprinkler and drip irrigation facilities to SC/ST and small farmers at 75 per cent subsidised rate in the Bundelkhand region.
The decision was taken in a cabinet meeting, presided over by the UP Chief Minister Mayawati.
The budget has been fixed Rs 65,000 and Rs 41,000 respectively for providing 64,372 sprinklers and 5,250 drips.
At least 1,32,00 farmers and 1,61,000 hectare land would be benefited under the system.
Entire irrigation system would be provided to the agrigarians, including pump set, prime-mover and delivery pipes.
Besides, establishment of artificial water bodies and rejuvination of the existing ones for rain water accumulation and conservation in 1.10 lakh hectare of area would also take place.
Water conservation project would be undertaken by the NREGA from the next fiscal year, however, this year efforts would be made to tieup with NREGA regarding the same.
Meanwhile, no alteration would be done in several centre funded projects of the scheme, under which the spinklers were provided at 50 per cent subsidy. However, the state government would give the additional 25 per cent to them.
The farmers could get the sprinkler sets directly from the company centres, which would be opened at the block and district level. However, the payment would be done through the bank cheques of the account holder.
Company would provide five years guarantee and AMC on every product, besides two locals would be trained for the operational and maintenance requirements, who would render the services to their clients in the near future.
It was noted that total agriculture in Bundelkhand region was on the mercy of rain Gods, who had not blessed the farmers with sufficient rainfall for the last few years.

Maria Jordan, MSW student with a concentration in Policy Practice, found the UConn SSW MSW program provides each of it's candidates with "the roots and wings" to become informed, invested, practicing members within the social work profession.
Focused Area of Study: Social Work Practice with Older Adults
Bachelor's Degree: Fordham University, Bachelor of Arts in Business
Anyone unsure of or considering a potential commitment to the practice of social work will gain a true sense of the UConn MSW program via its Non-Degree program. In taking six such classes over a two-year period, I was certain by this juncture, that applying to the full-time, matriculated program was the natural next step for me in the educational process to obtain my MSW. Over the course of this two-year evolution, I was introduced to the magnitude of social injustice and human oppression within our local communities, states, country and the world. My life and its focus have been forever changed.
Analysis of Social Welfare Policy was one of the first classes taken as a non-degree student and it exposed me to innumerable holes in our country's threadbare safety net. Over the course of this semester, I felt a strong desire to become an agent of change to help right these wrongs and understand the systems of oppression that have gripped society. The raw facts and harsh statistics combined with the compassion, convictions and humanity of the professor for the need to advocate and lend a voice to vulnerable populations, resonated with me. After much personal reflection and soul searching on how to affect positive changes to a very unleveled playing field, I found the passion and focus of my "third career in thirty years." Yes, I was going to apply to the UConn MSW program. My concentration would be in Policy Practice based upon the most effective use of the comprehensive skills within "my personal tool belt" (past, present & future).
The UConn MSW program is interactive between dedicated professors and future social workers, on both the micro and macro level, who by the end of every semester are each committed to empowerment through education and the sharing of one united voice. This program is much more than just an institutional body of learning – it is more of an extended family that has similar value systems while embracing causes and issues in the pursuit of social justice. The School of Social Work is a mindset of heart and soul weaved into the learning process – a way of life that is guided by an enthusiastic and committed professional staff who work collaboratively with invested and dedicated educators that engage both students and key stakeholders in making our communities and state more about "we the people" – all people.
Being involved in the UConn Graduate Student Organization (GSO) this year has provided me with a lens by which to advocate on behalf of my fellow peers to expand the evolutionary process and educational parameters for future MSW candidates. As a Policy Practice candidate, advocacy, testifying and lobbying at the Legislative Office Building are all necessary skills to be honed, concurrent with the research and development of policy proposals, along with participation in policy implementations that affect needed change.
The UConn MSW program provides each of its candidates with "the roots and wings" to become informed, invested, practicing members within the social work profession; embracing its content, engaging in its context and ultimately empowering vulnerable populations – as the purveyors and voice for social justice.

In the usual manner in which political debate proceeds, planning is often the site of a polarised ideological debate between state-led and market-led solutions to prevailing policy issues. Both approaches of course have their place. However, as the state recedes as a fulcrum of power within an increasingly globalised world, and the market has failed to fully meet many of our basic societal needs, many community groups have sought innovative solutions to the very real challenges that they face.
In many areas both the market and the state have failed to deliver affordable housing, low-cost business premises and suitable community, cultural and artistic space. Across the UK, community-led schemes have attracted plaudits for finding new and innovative ways to provide for their economic, cultural and housing needs.
Last year's Turner prize was won by the Assemble Collective, who led a "ground-up" regeneration project in Toxteth, Liverpool. Working in partnership with residents, the Collective have helped to breathe new life into an area of the city that had become synonymous with derelict and abandoned properties.
In London, where high rents are threatening the City's vibrant cultural scene, artists and community groups have found new ways to provide space for artists' studios and exhibition and events space. Bold Tendencies, a not-for-profit, have retrieved widespread praise for the cultural regeneration of Peckham in South West London. Over a number of years, the group have converted a disused multi-story carpark into a venue for summer art and music shows – thereby taking a disused spaced and transforming it into a community asset.
In Mile End an experiment in affordable housing is underway. There, a Community Land Trust has been established to deliver affordable housing for local people. By holding the land within a community trust – to be passed down through the generations – local people will be able to buy houses for approximately half the market value.
The evidence suggests that there is significant demand for community-led working, yet at present, this is still a niche area. Understandably, there is some scepticism about the capacity of such schemes to deliver on a substantially larger scale. Nevertheless, the planning and development issues we face will not be solved by a single silver bullet and community-led planning can deliver bespoke developments commensurate to local need.
As their conception, planning and delivery is driven by the groups they serve, community-led projects can be more responsive to the specific context from which they emerge. They are often a source of local entrepreneurship and give local people an opportunity to participate in the production of their own built environments.
Given their potential, as a new space emerges for community-led developments we must nurture and support the efforts of groups who are endeavouring to deliver their own innovative and exciting projects.
Planners – and the planning system – should be at the forefront of this effort. More resources must be made available to support community groups in terms of expertise in planning and delivery. The planning system should work to bring forward more sites for community-led projects. This is particularly important with the issue of public land release currently on the table.
Planning Futures will be exploring these issues further over the coming year. Last week we announced that we are to produce a series of short films on best-practice in community planning. The films will feature individual schemes that have delivered innovation and extraordinary place making through community-led work. They will cover a broad range of projects, from housing schemes to artist spaces and community facilities.
The films will, in the first instance, be a resource for emerging community groups looking for inspiration and practical guidance for their own projects. They will also feed into a broader research agenda, which will seek to highlight current obstacles to community working and deliver new ideas for practitioners and policy makers to better support community-led planning projects. The will also seek to test the limits of community-led planning and establish just how much this sector can realistically deliver.
We must continue to work to make sure that "the market" and "the state" provide efficiently and effectively for our citizens, but where it can add value, we must also help communities to provide for themselves.

Hello, November—which means welcome, holiday season!
This month we are excited to bring you two entertaining and enriching reads.
Take a lighthearted look at motherhood in Jenna von Oy's book, Situation Momedy: A First-Time Mom's Guide to Laughing Your Way Through Pregnancy and Year One.
Best known for her roles as Six on Blossom and Stevie on The Parkers, Jenna von Oy is also a musician who has released two albums. She has been blogging for People.com for nearly three years and maintains her own blog, The Cradle Chronicles (www.cradlechronicles.com). She married husband Brad Bratcher in 2010 and gave birth to their first daughter, Gray Audrey, in 2012. Their second daughter, Marlowe Monroe, arrived in November of 2014.
This candid mom of two shares stories from her own trials and tribulations through diapers, spit-up (which you can see on the cover!), and the crazy journey of motherhood in a way that will make you feel like you are sitting down and chatting with your best friend. Jenna reveals the raw truths that so many moms keep on the down-low. Be prepared to laugh your way through the everyday struggles and see how learning to laugh at ourselves through the tough times, as Jenna shares, makes us better parents.
Celebs are talking about Situation Momedy:
"If you made sexy-time (or science-time) and are expecting a baby, this book is a hilarious series of stories that tie real-life experiences with pretty awesome advice. And I can say this because I'm gonna be a really good dad one day."
—Kal Penn
"Jenna's perspective is empowering, enlightening, and downright comforting. And also laugh-out-loud funny, which moms need more of!"
—Mayim Bialik
During pregnancy and the initial year of a new baby's life, when it's easy for a woman to get caught up in the stress of the steep mommy learning curve, this "girlfriend's guide" reminds first-time parents to find a little comedy amidst the chaos!
While preparing to give birth to her first daughter, actress Jenna von Oy discovered that the market was filled with clinical guides to pregnancy and beyond. Though they had their merits, she craved a best friend's guide . . . one that didn't sugarcoat reality but still offered relatable and heartfelt reassurance. Thus, Situation Momedy: A First-Time Mom's Guide to Laughing Your Way through Pregnancy & Year One was born.
Jenna brings readers a lighthearted and comedic look at pregnancy and the first year of motherhood, highlighting major mommy milestones with chapters like "Houston, We Have a Pregnancy," "This Is Your Brain on Baby," "Bringing Sexy Back," and "All's Fair in Love and Mommy Wars."
"I am thrilled to have an opportunity to share Situation Momedy with my mommy peers. As the cliché goes, laughter is the best medicine. But that's not a dosage most doctors can prescribe! I'm not the first woman to have kids, and there will certainly be countless mothers after me, so my book isn't an attempt to reinvent the wheel or deliver a how-to on all things mommy-related . . . I'm still a work in progress too! I think honesty and vulnerability can go a long way toward helping other moms feel less alone in the chaos of the mommy learning curve. In releasing Situation Momedy, I hope to inspire women to embrace the tough times with extra love and laughter, and to be empowered to trust their own instincts!" —Jenna
"The current crop of books for new moms leans toward heavy humor, with little guidance, but von Oy really does a remarkable job of offering sound parenting suggestions in between the jokes."
—Rebecca Vnuk, Booklist
"The book is a must-read for both partners who will have a baby."
—Library Thing
Situation Momedy hits store shelves November 10 and is available online now!
Also this month, award-winning historical author D.J. Niko brings readers the riveting third installment in her popular Sarah Weston Chronicles, The Oracle.
Can secrets of ancient Greece stop a threat on the modern world?
In Delphi, the mountain city deemed by the Greek gods to be the center of the Earth, a cult of neo-pagans re-create with painstaking authenticity ancient rituals to glorify the god Apollo and deliver oracles to seekers from around the world.
When antiquities are stolen from a museum in nearby Thebes, British archaeologist Sarah Weston and her American partner, Daniel Madigan, are drawn into a plot that goes beyond harmless role-playing: someone's using the Delphian oracle as a smoke screen for an information exchange, with devastating consequences for the Western world.
Pitted against each other by the cult's mastermind, Sarah and Daniel race against time and their own personal demons to uncover clues left behind by the ancients. Their mission: to find the original navel stone marked with a lost Pythagorean formula detailing the natural events that led to the collapse of the Minoan Empire.
But will they find it in time to stop the ultimate terrorist act?
"Sarah Weston's latest adventures and archaeological pursuits have taken her to Greece, where she is working with her American colleague (and sometimes romantic interest) Daniel Madigan, cataloging artifacts from a nearby dig. . . . It's full of riddles and codes like The Da Vinci Code, and it's got the archaeological mystery mixed with the occult that made both Indiana Jones and The Mummy so popular, plus the action and a badass heroine like Lara Croft Tomb Raider!"
—The Lit Bitch
"Action, adventure, romance and historical mystery—who could ask for more? The Oracle is a great read."
—James O. Born, award-winning author of Scent of Murder
"Although each book in the Weston series can be read as a stand-alone, there is clearly a story arc involving the series' two lead characters, one that enriches each book and makes the series more than just a collection of independent thrillers."
—David Pitt, Booklist
Haven't read any of the other books in the series? Then be sure to check them out!
Until next time . . .
