Book excerpt: “Rose explores her myriad inspirations in this collection of twenty-five fashionable knitting projects that show the potential in beautiful yarn . . . marvelous.” —Library Journal Cirilia Rose is the epitome of the new knitwear designer—young, educated, curious, and excited to share her passion for all ideas knit and purl. Her attitude toward curating her own collection of designs is informed as much by travel, cultural history, and tried-and-true sourcebooks as it is by modern media and technology. In Magpies, Homebodies, and Nomads, Rose takes readers behind the scenes of her design process, showing them how she curates and organizes ideas and translates them into knitwear designs. Through twenty-five projects that fall into three categories—Magpies (accessories for the small amounts of precious yarns that knitters inevitably collect), Homebodies (garments for time spent close to home), and Nomads (garments to wear when venturing out into the world)—Rose shares her modern aesthetic and invites readers to develop their own. “So not only do we have twenty-five patterns—many of them timeless and some of them quirky—we also have a lot of attentive commentary on color selection, styling tips, and useful info on substituting yarns. This is one new book that I would highly recommend. Not only for the patterns, but especially for the spirit of the book and the thoughtful way Cirilia Rose approaches her knitting and explains her process.” —Knit and Tonic “This is a gem of a book.” —Kangath Knits “This latitude that Rose has given herself to combine disparate elements makes all her designs fresh, hip and youthful.” —My Central Jersey
Download or read book What Is A Homebody How People Become Homebodies Why Certain People Become Homebodies And How The Economy Is Affected By Certain People Being Homebodies written by Dr. Harrison Sachs and published by The Epic Books Of Dr. Harrison Sachs. This book was released on 2024-10-15 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay sheds light on what is a homebody, explicates how people become homebodies, elucidates why certain people become homebodies, and expounds upon how the economy is affected by certain people being homebodies. Succinctly stated, a homebody is a term that refers to a person who prefers to expend the vast majority of his time at his abode. A homebody is at a high probability to be domiciled at his abode for the vast majority of his time. Furthermore, a homebody is also at a high probability to forgo becoming traveler and living a transient life. A homebody is capable of completing the vast majority of his tasks remotely without exiting his abode to do so. A homebody is able to shop for products remotely, is able to procure services remotely, is able to work real private sector jobs based on voluntary demand remotely, is able to confabulate with friends remotely, is able to partake in salubrious hobbies remotely, and is able to be pursuant of following health optimization measures at his abode. A homebody is often keen on adorning his abode to be tailored to his decorating preferences. If an abode is meticulously tailored to a homebody’s decorating preferences and if he derives euphoria from taking a gander at the items on display in his home environment that he is fond of, then it can help him to alleviate stress if doing so can divert his attention away from dwelling on stressors. From the perspective of a homebody, it can be deduced that a real estate property is perceived be far more than just a locale for a homebody to dwell in. As of October of 2024, even though it is estimated that there are about 36,677,592,320 acres of land on planet Earth, a single real estate property is the primary environment of a homebody. A homebody engages in activities, such as leisure activities and career-oriented activities, at his abode since it can be far more convenient for him to do so at his abode than for him to do so at public locales. A homebody engages in activities at his abode also because it can be significantly less noisy to do so at his abode than to do so in public locales that have ambient noise. A homebody prefers to circumvent venturing into public locales. Furthermore, a homebody also prefers to circumvent being impeded by traffic. Moreover, a homebody also prefers to circumvent waiting in long lines. A homebody also prefers to circumvent frequenting depressing environments. A homebody is often eminently content with expending the vast majority of his time at his abode in lieu of disparate locales that are outside the vicinity of his home environment. Most homebodies also prefer to circumvent being exposed to second-hand smoke, lethal household cleaning products, and other noxious substances which can severely undermine a person’s immune system health. When homebodies venture into public locales, then they are all the more vulnerable to being exposed to second-hand smoke and other noxious substances which can severely undermine a person’s immune system health. A homebody is often recalcitrant about leaving his abode for a prolonged period of time. If a homebody were to leave his abode for a prolonged period of time, then he would be unable to access the amenities that are at his abode. Furthermore, if a homebody were to leave his abode for a prolonged period of time, then he would also need to cope with the ample inconveniences that are associated with the process of attempting to complete tasks outside of the vicinity of his home environment. Attempting to complete tasks outside of the vicinity of his home environment can significantly prolonged the time that it takes a homebody to complete tasks. Attempting to complete tasks outside of the vicinity of his home environment can also render it more cumbersome for a homebody to attempt to complete tasks. Attempting to complete tasks outside of the vicinity of his home environment can also bear ample costs, such as fuel costs, oil costs, tire rotation costs, and vehicle repair costs, if a homebody were to profusely utilize his vehicle to drive to distant locales where he can attempt to complete tasks outside of the vicinity of his home environment. A homebody has a proclivity to expend the vast majority of his time at his abode since he is deterred to leave his abode for a prolonged period of time. A homebody is deterred to leave his abode for a prolonged period of time.

Book excerpt: “Each book in this series keeps getting better and better. I stayed up way past my bedtime with this one!” —Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews Their love is forbidden, but their hearts aren’t listening to rules and regulations… Lieutenant Dustin Strauss is a reformed man. No longer a twentysomething hell-raiser, he’s his SEAL team’s new XO—and a man with a secret. Or seven. He’s kept his bisexual identity under wraps for years, along with his kinky side and a fondness for the military-themed semianonymous hookup website Joe4Joe. His latest chat buddy is more than a sexy online distraction—they’re taking their very not-safe-for-work relationship into real time. Petty Officer Wes Lowe has a smart mouth, a take-charge attitude and an uncanny ability for making things go boom. The life of an enlisted man isn’t always enough to satisfy him, but one wild, no-questions-asked weekend with his online love comes close. When a transfer order comes in, Wes feels ready and centered. He’ll make a good impression on his new SEAL team and keep his growing feelings for Dustin on the down low. But as they log more time online and some very real emotions surface, Dustin and Wes struggle to pretend they’re just a harmless fling. And when his commander introduces Dustin to his team’s newest member, they’re in for the shock of a lifetime…and a crushing disappointment: their difference in ranks means even a friendship without sexual contact could end their navy careers for good. With their hearts on the line, Dustin and Wes may not survive their next mission, let alone find a way toward a future together.

Download or read book Long Division written by Kiese Laymon and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the NAACP Image Award for Fiction From Kiese Laymon, author of the critically acclaimed memoir Heavy, comes a “funny, astute, searching” (The Wall Street Journal) debut novel about Black teenagers that is a satirical exploration of celebrity, authorship, violence, religion, and coming of age in post-Katrina Mississippi. Written in a voice that’s alternately humorous, lacerating, and wise, Long Division features two interwoven stories. In the first, it’s 2013: after an on-stage meltdown during a nationally televised quiz contest, fourteen-year-old Citoyen “City” Coldson becomes an overnight YouTube celebrity. The next day, he’s sent to stay with his grandmother in the small coastal community of Melahatchie, where a young girl named Baize Shephard has recently disappeared. Before leaving, City is given a strange book without an author called Long Division. He learns that one of the book’s main characters is also named City Coldson—but Long Division is set in 1985. This 1985-version of City, along with his friend and love interest, Shalaya Crump, discovers a way to travel into the future, and steals a laptop and cellphone from an orphaned teenage rapper called...Baize Shephard. They ultimately take these items with them all the way back to 1964, to help another time-traveler they meet to protect his family from the Ku Klux Klan. City’s two stories ultimately converge in the work shed behind his grandmother’s house, where he discovers the key to Baize’s disappearance. Brilliantly “skewering the disingenuous masquerade of institutional racism” (Publishers Weekly), this dreamlike “smart, funny, and sharp” (Jesmyn Ward), novel shows the work that young Black Americans must do, while living under the shadow of a history “that they only gropingly understand and must try to fill in for themselves” (The Wall Street Journal).

Book excerpt: As Tsh Oxenreider, author of Notes From a Blue Bike, chronicles her family's adventure around the world--seeing, smelling, and tasting the widely varying cultures along the way--she discovers what it truly means to be at home. The wide world is calling. Americans Tsh and Kyle met and married in Kosovo. They lived as expats for most of a decade. They've been back in the States--now with three kids under ten--for four years, and while home is nice, they are filled with wanderlust and long to answer the call. Why not? The kids are all old enough to carry their own backpacks but still young enough to be uprooted, so a trip--a nine-months-long trip--is planned. At Home in the World follows their journey from China to New Zealand, Ethiopia to England, and more. They traverse bumpy roads, stand in awe before a waterfall that feels like the edge of the earth, and chase each other through three-foot-wide passageways in Venice. And all the while Tsh grapples with the concept of home, as she learns what it means to be lost--yet at home--in the world. "In this candid, funny, thought-provoking account, Tsh shows that it's possible to combine a love for adventure with a love for home." --Gretchen Rubin, New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Project and Better Than Before

At the same time, and unknown to Shorty, Johnny's agent sends a second copy to his colleague in LA who writes a competing screenplay. When the finished products are sent to Johnny for approval, he doesn't recognise his scribbles in either of them and so happily sells to both the film rights to his book.

Download or read book Language Maven Strikes Again written by William Safire and published by Doubleday. This book was released on 2011-11-16 with total page 573 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Good news! America’s master wordsmith strikes again with a new collection of erudite, witty, provocative, sometimes barbed, frequently hilarious “On Language” columns. Published in The New York Times and syndicated in more than three hundred other newspapers, these opinions from the “Supreme Court of Current English Usage” cover everything from the bottom line on tycoonese and the accesses* of computerese to portmanteau words like televangelist and Draconomics (the language maven’s own plan for our bloated economy). Although Safire makes an admirable case for adverbs and adjectives, advocates of strong verbs will be heartened to hear that he also: pleads for the preservation of the subjunctive mood; delivers, hot off the college campus, the latest lingo in which ‘rents means parents and yesterday’s wimps are today’s squids; decries the brevity-is-next-to-godliness literary school; bids farewell to anxiety (it’s been replaced by trendy stress or swangst); noodles over such weighty geopolitical questions as “when an intercept of a fighter is a buzz”; bemoans the loss of roughage to fiber; and rides herd over the language spoken in Marlboro Country. More good news! Safire again spices his own wit and wisdom with correspondence from Lexicographic irregulars, those zealous readers and letter writers who reply to his columns with praise, scorn, corrections and nitpicks—anything to match wits with Super-maven. If You Could Look It Up and Take My Word for It occupy prominent spots in your bookcase, then Language Maven Strikes Again belongs there too. If they don’t, then begin with this Safire and work your way back. *That’s not a typo—that’s a pun.
Download or read book Homesickness written by Susan J. Matt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-17 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homesickness today is dismissed as a sign of immaturity, what children feel at summer camp, but in the nineteenth century it was recognized as a powerful emotion. When gold miners in California heard the tune "Home, Sweet Home," they sobbed. When Civil War soldiers became homesick, army doctors sent them home, lest they die. Such images don't fit with our national mythology, which celebrates the restless individualism of colonists, explorers, pioneers, soldiers, and immigrants who supposedly left home and never looked back. Using letters, diaries, memoirs, medical records, and psychological studies, this wide-ranging book uncovers the profound pain felt by Americans on the move from the country's founding until the present day. Susan Matt shows how colonists in Jamestown longed for and often returned to England, African Americans during the Great Migration yearned for their Southern homes, and immigrants nursed memories of Sicily and Guadalajara and, even after years in America, frequently traveled home. These iconic symbols of the undaunted, forward-looking American spirit were often homesick, hesitant, and reluctant voyagers. National ideology and modern psychology obscure this truth, portraying movement as easy, but in fact Americans had to learn how to leave home, learn to be individualists. Even today, in a global society that prizes movement and that condemns homesickness as a childish emotion, colleges counsel young adults and their families on how to manage the transition away from home, suburbanites pine for their old neighborhoods, and companies take seriously the emotional toll borne by relocated executives and road warriors. In the age of helicopter parents and boomerang kids, and the new social networks that sustain connections across the miles, Americans continue to assert the significance of home ties. By highlighting how Americans reacted to moving farther and farther from their roots, Homesickness: An American History revises long-held assumptions about home, mobility, and our national identity.
