Green wood from a newly felled tree is easy to cut, bend, and shape. That is why working with green wood remains a time-honored rural craft for producing rustic-style furniture and other outdoor fixtures. Though there are many carpentry books on the market, few among them focus on this increasingly popular subject. Alan and Gill Bridgewater's brand new title is precisely what green wood carpenters have been looking for. Following a comprehensive introductory section on tools, techniques, and types of wood, the authors present 15 easy-to-follow projects that will result in attractive and useful objects made of green wood. They include a trellis, a garden bench, a rustic slab wood gate, and a backyard pergola, to cite just a few. Directions for all projects are heavily illustrated, and range from "easy" to "ambitious." Many can be completed within a single weekend. Large full-color photos of all finished pieces show do-it-yourselfers what their projects will look like when completed. There are 110 full-color photos in total, plus 60 instructive illustrations..

Refresh Yourself True Stories of Struggle, Strife, And Success It all began with a wadded up scrap of paper that languished at the bottom of her purse, lost among the loose change and old gum wrappers Gayle was working as a nurse administrator, when a salesman slipped her a note with a phone number, This is someone you should meet. Gayle read the name on the note: Rita Snider. Yeah, sure, I ll get right on it, she thought, dropping it into her purse. There it sat - for a year. One day, on impulse, Gayle fished out the note and called. As soon as she d said hello, Rita replied, Honey, I ve been waiting for your call. A few days later, Gayle visited with Rita, and listened to the remarkable story of her battle with breast cancer. Diagnosed at age 36, Rita began chemotherapy and lost her hair nine times over. After a humiliating search for wigs and prosthesis, Rita declared Never again! Determined to help others, Rita opened a shop called The Lemonade Stand. A place to come and be refreshed , it was a safe and comfortable salon that provided women with everything they would need for their own fight with cancer. For seven years, she tirelessly helped hundreds of women fight the same battle that she was fighting. Rita surprised Gayle by saying, The Good Lord told me that if I hung on long enough, He d send someone to carry on. As soon as you walked in, I knew it was you. As amazing as it sounded, by the end of the day Gayle decided to quit her job and devote herself to The Lemonade Stand. Rita passed away later that year, but Gayle kept her dream alive for over a decade more. Those years were filled with financial struggles, heartaches, and challenges without end; but there were countless gifts and rewards as The Lemonade Stand went on to help over 10,000 clients..

Late night at the corner diner. Struggling with that character who just won't speak to you or searching for that perfect word. Laboring over gallons of coffee, greasy comfort food, and blank notebook pages. Called by the feelings or ideas that compel a writer to set down her thoughts whenever she can find the time, wondering whether there are others out there doing the same. This is why writers' workshops are so important-they are a place where one's passion and efforts can be shared, acknowledged, and improved in the presence of supportive, honest, risk-taking fellow writers. The goal of the "Write Here, Write Now" workshops is to provide such a place. Founded in Baltimore in 2005, the workshops have grown to explore various genres and serve the area's resurging literary arts scene. Welcome to the first anthology of select prose and poetry from these workshops. Readers will recognize themselves and their own journeys, and be inspired and moved by the honesty, beauty, and courage in this collection. Here is the reward for all those late nights, early mornings, and stolen moments of writing during the day. Remember to take it with you the next time you head to the diner. "I want to thank you all for a fantastic workshop experience. Each of you provided me with useful input. I have no doubt that my manuscript will be better off for it." - Fernando Quijano.
