Podcasts about Gingham

Nick is co-Founder of Bitewing Games, a tabletop game publishing company run by two dentists! In dentistry a bitewing is an x-ray that allows us to analyze and view a tooth in a different way than is seen with the naked eye. Their goal is to create and share games in a way that, much like the x-ray, will provide you with a unique perspective and exciting new experience. In short, they make classy board games that bite.To check out the campaign for Gazebo and Gingham, click here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bitewinggamesnick/gazebo-and-gingham-travel-friendly-board-gamesWHERE TO BUY OUR BOOK: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSJ1LMQ1FOLLOW US ON: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/boardgamebingeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/boardgamebingepodcast/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/boardgamebingeWHERE TO FIND OUR PODCAST:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5RJbdkguebb3MSLAatZr7riHeart Radio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-board-game-binge-72500104/Tune In: https://tunein.com/embed/player/p1344218/Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5jYXB0aXZhdGUuZm0vYm9hcmRnYW1lYmluZ2U=Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/board-game-binge/id1522623033Visit Our Websites: Board Game Binge: https://boardgamebinge.com/Tin Robot Games: https://tinrobotgames.comElixir Board Games: https://www.elixirboardgames.com/our-games

Creating Our Very Own Indoor Holistic Garden & The Return of Gingham Style

The team had been hitched to the wagon before dawn, but Virgil still hadn’t left. As Laura Miller folded and sorted the new fabrics for display, she could see the stout draft horses through the front window of the store. They stood, patient as time itself, in the first light of the day. Laura liked this frontier town best in the morning. If she were to walk Grantham’s two streets now, she would undoubtedly see bodies. Almost all of them would be sleeping off a drunk, but one or two might be dead, of overwork or disease or from that lethal combination of being too quick with a mouth yet not quick enough with a pistol. Grantham was a boom town, flush with silver. That made it a hard place for honest folk to get a good night’s sleep. But at dawn, wasn’t every place born anew? And if you squinted, and were careful to step over the drunks and look past the w****s, you could see the potential of the place, the potential of the West. This was a place to grant new hope for saints and sinners, miners and cowboys, outlaws and lawmen, w****s and mothers. And everyone, no matter who they were, wanted for a thousand things to make their dreams real or bring an end to their nightmares. Most of the time the things they needed were simple like shovels and pans, beans and thread, rope and coffee, cartridges and knives. Which meant that all of them, good and bad alike, needed the Miller General store. In contrast with the patient horses outside, her husband Virgil hadn’t stopped pacing. She wanted to say that she had never before seen a man move so much without actually going anywhere, but she knew to hold her tongue. She loved him, and knew him to be was a worrier. As Virgil paced the length of the store, he checked the shelves, straightening things that had already been straightened. He looked upstairs to where their daughter slept, and out back at their son, gathering wood. Laura folded a sample of the new Gingham and pretended she wasn’t watching her fierce man and his tender conundrum. She had never seen Virgil afraid of anything, at least not while facing it. But since the children had come, he had become a worrier. Grantham was a rough, wild town, and she knew the last thing he wanted was to have his son turn out like him. Virgil had been a wild, murderous falcon of a man when they had met. Every time he went on a journey, they both remembered that falcons were never tamed for life. A falcon would always go back to the wild. She had snared him with all the subtle and ancient ties that women use to capture wild men. She had done it, at first, because she had needed him to survive, but now she realized, the cords that bound them together were woven from the stuff of her own heart. She had trapped them both in the same snare. Virgil looked to the wagon, then paced back to pour more coffee from the pot on the cast-iron stove. Mac came in with the firewood and dumped it in the bin next to the stove. By noon, they’d have the doors open and the heat of the day would be oppressive, but night in the high desert was cold no matter the time of year. “Pa, you want I should come with you?”Virgil smiled, his sharp face softened by love. “No. I need you to stay here and look after the store.” She thought it a foolish thing to say. Mack was still so young, but boys were fragile at his age. And her husband knew how badly his son wanted to be a man. As he took in the words, Mack straightened nervously, nodding, taking the responsibility seriously.With this new respect, Mac dared a question. “Pa, when you get back, can we shoot the big gun?” he asked, looking to the Sharps .50 rifle hanging high on the wall above the vertical rack of smaller caliber rifles and carbines. “Not until you’re full-grown, if then. But ain’t much point in it.”Virgil resumed pacing, but Mac continued to look at him so insistently, he stopped and resumed his answer instead. “They were used to hunt buffalo, and they’re about all gone now, son. And there never was any down here anyway.”“Couldn’t you hunt other things with it?”“You could, but most men can’t even fire it. Or wouldn’t want to. Least not more than once. Kicks like a mule. Probably break your shoulder.”“But not your shoulder,” said Mac, with pride.Virgil considered the gun and winced a little. “I’d only fire that thing if I absolutely had to. You don’t even need something that big to kill a grizzly.”“Then why do you have it Pa?”“Because everyone wants to come in here and have a look at the biggest rifle they’ve ever seen. And once they come, they buy their flour and their sugar here instead of at somebody else’s store.”“Will you ever let me shoot it?”Virgil smiled and put his hand on the boy’s shoulder. “Alright, someday, when you’re taller than me or when the town gets overrun by elephants, whichever comes first.” Laura placed the last of the fabric in the glass case and closed the top. She walked over to her husband, kissed him on the cheek, and took his coffee from him. “You’re wasting daylight, Mr. Miller.”“I’m admiring the view, Mrs. Miller,” he said, as he took her in his arms and kissed her. Then he turned to Mac and said, “Mind your Mother and keep her and your sister safe.”Mac nodded, taking that seriously too.Virgil stepped behind the main counter and took his gun belt off a peg beneath the cashbox. Unlike the fancy rigs the cowboys liked to wear around town, this belt had pistols in two cavalry holsters that closed with heavy flaps. Also on the belt was a knife with a carved antler handle in a fringed sheath like the Indians wore.The heavy Colt Army pistols were set in the holsters with the handles facing forward, so they’d be easier to draw in a gallop. Where other men wore belts of fancy, tooled leather, worked with silver, the leather on this belt was all but invisible. Every free inch of the belt was covered with fabric loops, and in every loop was a .45 caliber bullet. It was ugly and worn. Mack watched, wide-eyed, as his Father belted it on. His father rarely wore his pistols and Mack had never even seen shoot them, not even for target practice. In fact, he had never seen the pistols out of their holsters. All he knew of them were that the handles were made of simple wood, nothing special.Virgil took his hat off the peg on the wall and snugged it on his head. This hat had once been white, but he had worn it so long it was battered and scuffed and stained in places, and fit all the better for it. Virgil walked out of the front door of the store and looked down at the wagon, its emptiness enhanced by the loose canvas tarp in the back. Then he looked up at the sky. Clear, no sign of weather. Laura and Mack came to see him off. Virgil was about to ask Laura to go get Pen, but Laura indicated the back of the wagon with a nod of her head. He took the hint and said, “Well, shame that no-account daughter of mine ain’t here to see her father off. But all the same, I never liked her frowning face overmuch anyways.”The canvas cover in the back of the wagon exploded upwards and a tornado of strawberry blonde hair announced itself by saying, “I was going to come with you!”And there was Penelope in all her 8-year-old glory. She pouted savagely at her father with a face that was like to break his heart. She had Daddy’s number, that was sure, thought Laura. Virgil held out his arms and Penelope dove into them crying, “Don’t go!”He stepped down from the porch and stood the little girl on the wagon so he could look her in the eyes. Then he said, “Just a couple of days. I have to go remind Mr. Fetterman of his contract with us and collect our flour at the price he promised. Otherwise, people here in town aren’t going to be able to have bread and cakes and cookies. And you wouldn’t want that, would you?”“No biscuits either?”“No biscuits either.” “Well that’s okay,” said Penelope, playing at trapping her father, “I don’t like biscuits anyway.” They all laughed. Mack climbed up in the back of the wagon and he and his sister played at bouncing the wagon on the springs by jumping up and down. Only their children could make riding in the back of a wagon on a bad road a game. Virgil said to Laura, “Just a couple of days. Less than three if I don’t have to go to Tuscon.”“Why would you have to go all the way to Tuscon?” Laura asked.“If we need a new supplier, that’s the place. Gonna have to happen sooner or later if Fetterman is holding us ransom over the price.”She saw another look of worry cross Virgil’s face and said, “You’re a good man, Virgil.”“No, I’m not,” he said without a smile.“You weren’t, but you are now,” said Laura.Virgil pressed his lips together and looked sideways down the street.“Oh Virgil, sooner or later, your present is going to catch up with you. You’re going to have to resign yourself to being happy.”A look of fear filled Virgil’s eyes. A deep terror that Laura had never seen in her husband before. He said, “That ain’t how life works.”“We’ve come through our bad spell and you know it,” she said, getting angry, even though she didn’t want to. “Why can’t you just enjoy things when they are good?”She was shocked to see tears brimming in his eyes. “Because everything good I ever had was taken from me in the end.”She hugged him tight and whispered in his ear, “Nothing is taking us from you. Or you from us. You understand?” Her words were quiet but had power in them, like the sound of a storm far, far off over the prairie. Then she looked him in the eye, forced a smile on her face, and said, “All this fatalism is scaring me, Mr. Miller. Now you go, you get our business straightened out and you come back to us.”“Yes ma’am. Not wild horses, nor loose women can keep me away.” Laura didn’t smile. She looked in him dead in the eye, as serious as the barrel of a gun, and said, “You promise.”He nodded. Then she said, “Get gone and get back Mr. Miller.” She kissed him in a way that made it hard to leave.Virgil drove the wagon East through town just as it was waking up. Past the Morning Star mine, the Morning Star saloon, the First Bank of Grantham on the left, Johnson’s livery on the right with its overflowing stables, the foundry already throwing off heat and the smells of sweat and slag. He continued down the hill across the dry wash that never saw water but for a trickle in the early spring. The horses scrambled up the rocky cut on the far side and then he was on the road to Bisbee. He didn’t look back, but as the sun rose and the day went on, he thought long and hard about the man he would have been if he hadn’t met her. He was pretty sure he wouldn’t have been proud of that man. And certain that man would have been dead by now. Get full access to Patrick E. McLean at patrickemclean.substack.com/subscribe

Matt Ripa of Catholic University unexpectedly went down in Oz history earlier this year when he discovered a missing gingham dress worn by Judy Garland in 1939's "The Wizard of Oz." Gifted to Father Hartke by actress Mercedes McCambridge in 1972, the dress was hidden away in a trash bag for decades until Matt's fortunate discovery. Today he shares more about his background in theatre, directing and his own artistic visions of the world of Oz. Head on over to www.Patreon.com/downtheyellowbrickpod to join and hear the entirety of Matt's discovery!Show Notes:Judy Garland's missing ‘Wizard of Oz' dress found decades laterDown the Yellow Brick Pod on PatreonInstagram: @downtheyellowbrickpod#DownTheYBPTara: @taratagticklesEmKay: @emshrayOriginal music by Shane ChapmanEdited by Emily Kay Shrader

Eric Granwehr is the Image Director at APM Models in New York, NY. The past 10+ years of his career have been spent observing, learning, growing and adapting within this always-changing industry. From studying photography at the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan, to interning at a top modeling agency in the early 2000-teens and to now, being the right-hand-man to the owner of an agency with two decades in the books, Eric has been quietly climbing the model agent ladder. Eric joined the team at APM in 2014 and has slowly but surely reimagined the branding of the agency from top to bottom. What began 25 years ago as a under-the-radar agency packed with showroom and fit models, is now a place where clients can find a diverse board made up of talented individuals - each bringing something different, unique and exciting to the table. Clients come for the incredible talent, but stay for the comfort, the ease and the enjoyment they find when working with us at APM. In his spare time, Eric can be found at rehearsal with the Grace Chorale of Brooklyn Heights - a community choir he joined just over a year ago that will hopefully be having in-person rehearsals again, outdoors, this coming May. Either that or playing video games at home in Brooklyn with his boyfriend Trevor, and his two cats, Diesel & Gingham. Follow Eric on Instagram APM Models New York

The Knicks did what they had to do to win against Detroit's 3rd stringers.

Loeffler Randall’s Jessie Randall has a spot on the timeline of Domino’s history. The O.G. Domino cover featuring her Brooklyn home with the “For Like Ever” poster launched a thousand Pinterest boards and Etsy shops, and that story is still circulating today. Jessie’s love of sun-faded neutrals, ditzy florals, and reimagined gingham finds its way into her collections, and she shares those inspirations on her Instagram feed. Her brand is embarking on a new chapter this month, with Loeffler Randall’s first retail shop, opening in New York City’s Nolita neighborhood; a ready-to-wear collection; and shoes that strike that magic balance of comfort and style. So many of the techniques used in crafting the label take their inspiration from interiors—pleating, hand-stitched embroidery, quilting—and it all is informed by Jessie’s own creative process. Listen in as we dive into the projects and hands-on crafts that she’s been working on for the past year.

This week we try to recover from all the weird news by not talking about it. Instead, Pepper organizes the pantry and Whoopi Goldberg comes to David in a dream. 

Right in time for the holidays, I have two of the five Gingham Apron ladies on the show sharing about their book the Gathering Table. Join us as we chat about growing strong relationships through food, faith, and hospitality. Topics of conversation: ▫️Showing hospitality even when it's difficult ▫️The importance of training children in hospitality ▫️Joyfully working together to accomplish a goal ▫️Simple ways to show hospitality ▫️How we nourish both body and soul in a weary season ▫️Commemorating the faithfulness of God ▫️Finding identity first in Christ ▫️How offering hospitality can be our love offering What does hospitality look like for you in this season? We pray after tuning in you realize love should be the heartbeat of every gathering.

This week we were honored to talk to the genius himself, Yiancar (yiancar-designs.com). Yiancar is most well known for his PCB designs within the mech community. From the NK65 to the Gingham, Yiancar has continuously driven the scene forward with his innovative products and solutions. Within this episode, we spend quite a bit of time talking about hobbies themselves as Yiancar takes Ragan through the process of making the perfect cup of coffee (apologies in advance to audio listeners if this portion is kinda confusing). All-in-all we had a great time talking with Yiancar and getting to know him a little better. Be on the lookout for possible coffee oriented content in the near future! Have a fantastic week! - Chase

Krisha is wearing a shirt borrowed from a friend's Oktoberfest costume. Frank says the shirt's pattern reminds him of Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. Krisha says she would want to play the Scarecrow. Frank describes the live Wizard of Oz radio play he directed on KLOS-FM in 1998 with a star-studded cast. Frank also directed a recreation of War of the Worlds. A Mark & Brian listener posted the audio of it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/BrQnkPNGe6Y Krisha says her shirt is big enough that she could go “lampshading” or “risky businessing” or “Porky Pigging” in it. Krisha wants to know details about when Frank and his wife Jere were dating because she is dating for the first time after a long-term relationship.

we live through a filter of nostalgia, falsely idealizing the past; unable to enjoy the present; unwilling to believe in a better future. This is why older artist just keep touring, because they are chasing the high of former glory, and do not believe they have a future.This is why many athletes continue to play well past their prime and why many leaders have no succession plan of any kind, because every day for them is another chance to chase what has already pastIt is as if life is frozen in that era and they can neither be here in this era with family, in new life, nor can they see the possibility of a better future.You see when we live this way, we cannot be present in who God has made us, and we cannot look forward to who He is making us and what He has for us, because we believe in our hearts that our best days have already been lived. We are literally stuck.But what if we believed something different? What if you knew… BELIEVED, that God has crafted you for a unique plan, specific place, and a divine purpose!#NoFilter | Gingham | Jeremiah 29:11; Acts 17:26-27; Ephesians 2:10

Kathy Lee is the founder and owner of Modern Gingham Preserves in Denver, CO. Kathy was a neuroscientist before she became a professional jam & marmalade maker. She spent years working hard to earn her PhD and almost enrolled in nursing school before ultimately following her passion for preserving local fruit, getting her hands dirty in the kitchen and creating original and unique jam recipes. In this episode we talk about everything from the similarities between being a scientist and a jam maker to the fact that there are few "terminal decisions" in life. This is Kathy's Chapter Be story!  Featuring Tomorrow is Gonna Be Better by Josh Radin

A Ghost In Time  by B.T. Joy He closes his eyes. The light flashes.  Somewhere west. Wyoming. Montana. Little Hallmark across the street. Hanging lilacs. Next door along. A picture house showing the matinees. His eyes, getting old, can’t see the listings.  May as well cross. Look what’s on. Halfway over. An Asian guy in an immaculate suit passes. He feels the familiar repulsive burn of electric between them. The Asian guy thinks they’ve brushed bodies and makes something of it.  “Hey fella! Watch where you’re going, huh!?” He doesn’t respond.  You’re wondering how he can be so calm? It wasn’t always that way. Not always that way at all.  His shuddering feet reach the other curb like tiny boats coming into shore and he shuffles to the doors of the picture house. He doesn’t have time to watch the movies. He’ll never have time to watch a full movie again. But sometimes he likes to read the advertisements.  Schindler’s List. Jurassic Park. Sleepless in Seattle. Must be the early 90s now. Christ the world was getting old.  He closes his eyes. The light flashes.  Sidewalk bench. Sitting. Early morning and no folk around. The Deep South by the look of the trees all shining in the muggy wind and the French Colonial facades, blue and peach, that line the good-sides of the streets like Hollywood sets of pinewood and plaster. 1970, by the cars.   But what were you asking? Oh, yes, so calm.  He wasn’t always so calm. It wasn’t always that way. For the first ten years he’d run around from place to place- from time to time- like a devil on speed. Trying to grab at people. Shouting. Screaming his name. Saying he was lost and he wanted to go home now.  Nothing ever changed. He couldn’t make anything change at any rate.    Nothing ever stayed the same long enough for anyone to understand.  He looks down at his hands. Resting on his legs that rest on that little sky-blue bench in Louisiana or Mississippi; or wherever the fuck he is. Old hands. With delves deep as canyons and the little lilac rivers of veins rushing everywhere; eroding the skin.  So old. Getting so... so... old.  He closes his eyes. The light flashes. Chase Field. On the grass. Fuck. Chase Field again. On the grass. Strewn with shirtless bodies, old and young. Brown porpoises lolling in the Phoenix summer. Pittsburg Pirates win. Arizona Diamondbacks lose. Ten runs to three.  He sits on the wall. The lawn is emptying. Gingham. Striped. Checker. Tartan. Calico. White. The blankets are being skinned from the lawn. Folded between semi-naked bodies glossed with sweat. The grass is littered with cartons and discarded chili-dogs. The march is being played.  Not again. Not again with the fucking march. Must times be recycled. Isn’t it bad enough. Isn’t it torture enough. Isn’t it hell enough.  The march. The march. The triumphant peppy march. Pittsburg Pirates win. Arizona Diamondbacks lose. Ten runs to three. The people are swarming like a chain of coffee-coloured ants. They bear insufferably close. The repulsive electric stabs at him. A thousand stinging tentacles.  He falls off the wall and wails when he hits the earth. Mothers pull their children into shawls of towels and blankets.  “Just a drunk.” They whisper to each other.  From the flat of his back he stares up at the painful Arizona sun.  He closes his eyes. The light flashes. Dark place. Perhaps by the sea. Because he can hear it lolling on the shore. Cooler night. Still on his back. Faint wisps of air up there. In all that blackness. Faint green. Radiation green. Perhaps it’s thicker than it looks because there are no stars.  But the sea. The sea out there. In the dark. Still lolling on the shore.  What were you asking?  Calm?  Yes.  Calm now. Calm now. Like the sea. Like the sea. Out there. In the dark. Still lolling on the shore.  Not always like this. Not at all always like this. Ran frantic once. Devil on speed. Grab people. Shout. Scream name.  Lost. Lost. Lost.   Want to go home!   Want to go home! Sea now. Dark. Lolling on shore.  What were you asking?  What?  Does he remember?  Of course he remembers.  Who could forget? Done with her. Blood on privates. Hers. His. Jimmy’s. Jimmy’s knife. Pulled it out. No. Put it back. Pulled it out. More blood. Throat this time. Not from below. Not from where they’d forced themselves inside.  Throat this time. Welling up. Red. Like the sea. In the dark. Lolling on the shore. Tongue lolling. On the grass. Sea on the shore. Tongue on the grass. Lolling. Lolling.  He closes his eyes. The light flashes. Chase Field. On the grass. Fuck. Chase Field again. On the grass. Old and young. Brown porpoises. Lolling. Lolling. Lolling. Pittsburg Pirates win. Arizona Diamondbacks lose. Ten runs to three.  He sits on the wall. Gingham. Striped. Checker. Tartan. Calico. White. Red. Like the sea. Welling up. Lolling. Lolling. Blankets. Skinned from the lawn. Not again. Not again. Fucking march. Recycled. Bad enough. Torture enough. Hell enough.  The march. The march. Pittsburg Pirates. Arizona Diamondbacks. Ten runs to three. Swarming ants. Insufferably close. The repulsive electric. He falls.  Mothers pull children.  “Just a drunk.” “Just a drunk.”     Painful Arizona sun. He closes his eyes. The light flashes.  No. No.  Interstate 44. Lebanon. Missouri. June 14th. Cover of cypress trees. Old Harley store closed for business. Almost transparent moon. Dark clouds and gold-dust of dawn.  No. No. No.   He looks to the trees. To the murmuring sounds not leaves but men are making under the anonymity of shade. No. Old now. Weak now. No.  In the dark a hand. His hand. Her mouth. His jeans. Her blood. Jimmy puts back his cock. Pulls out his knife.  She dies. And here, they didn’t know, they knew too well, folk are placed in pods of iron; and fed to eternity.  He closes is eyes. The light flashes. 

A man stands accused of murder.  The only thing that stands between him and a death sentence is the strange woman he claims to have met in the park.  But is she even real?
