This week on Not Your Granny's Quilt Show, my guest is Ian Danger Capstick, host of the Art Against Empire podcast, quilter, and former political pundit.Like many of us in the fiber arts world, Ian's introduction to making began in his grandmother's craft cupboard. He learned cross stitch and rug hooking, and put it all away as an adult while he worked in Canadian politics. He famously brought his cross stitching with him to work in the meantime of appearing as a political pundit on Canadian television. It was not until the 2020 lockdowns that Ian fully dove into quilting.As his quilting skills grew alongside major shifts in his professional life, Ian created a quilted banner as part of his capstone project for the horticulture degree he completed during lockdown. That project opened the door to a deeper exploration of banners, textiles, and the long history of fabric as both a cultural and political tool. Quilted banners became a focal point as Ian studied the origins of textile traditions and the ways fabric has been politicized, controlled, and reclaimed.Through Art Against Empire, Ian examines how textile art has been used across time as a form of power, resistance, and reform. He speaks with artists from around the world, guiding listeners through the global landscape of fiber and textiles. When people reclaim mastery of textiles, Ian believes, it becomes an act of resistance and a path toward freedom.Ian is also doing powerful work at The NOOK alongside Zak Foster and others, creating spaces that invite thoughtful conversations, including the uncomfortable ones.To learn more about Ian, follow him on Instagram at quiltqueerly, visit iancapstick.net, and be sure to listen to the available episodes of Art Against Empire.

In this episode of Hope Natural Health, Dr. Erin chats w/guest Dr. Glenn Livingston about the psychology of food cravings and how to reclaim your mental space from intrusive food thoughts. Dr. Glenn Livingston is a psychologist and the creator of "Defeat Your Cravings," a method grounded in decades of research and real-world experience. His work has reached over 1 million readers, drawing on both scientific insights into how cravings form and practical strategies to shift long-standing patterns. He is the author of the book "Defeat Your Cravings," hosts a podcast of the same name, and offers live coaching focused on lasting behavior change. Dr. Glenn's journey began with his own struggle at one point reaching 300 lbs and the realization that "loving himself" through traditional therapy wasn't fixing his relationship with food. After consulting for the big food industry, he saw how food is engineered to hit a "bliss point" in the reptilian brain. He eventually designed a system to bridge the gap between biological impulses and the rational mind. During this episode you will learn about: The "Reptilian Brain" vs. the "Neocortex" and why willpower alone often fails Why clear boundaries and "rules" are more effective than "everything in moderation" The science of the "Extinction Burst" why cravings get worse right before they disappear How the food industry engineers products to bypass satiety Practical strategies to "cross the river at its source" by using structure to prevent cravings Resources Mentioned: Free Book & Starter Kit: Download Defeat Your Cravings for free in Kindle, Nook, or PDF format at www.defeatyourcravings.com.

In this episode, we talk with Jennifer Whitney, who is the owner, farmer, and co-founder of Natural Nook Farm in West Salem, Ohio. For nearly 20 years, Jennifer and her husband, Adam, have built a vibrant, faith-rooted homestead dedicated to natural living, self-sufficiency, and community.Jennifer shares how Natural Nook Farm has grown from a simple family property into a thriving small farm that produces handcrafted goat-milk soaps, naturally dyed and hand-spun angora rabbit and Jacob sheep wool products, and an incredible array of homegrown foods and medicinal herbs. From freeze-dried vegetables and garlic powder to elderberry teas, jellies, and herbal remedies, Jennifer and her husband are deeply committed to using what they grow and teaching others to do the same. Their mission extends far beyond their own land. Jennifer regularly speaks to Career Center students about homesteading skills, inspiring the next generation to grow, create, and build with intention. She and Adam also founded B.U.C.K. Adventures, a 501(c)(3) offering life-changing, all-expense-paid adaptive whitetail hunting experiences for individuals facing life-altering circumstances. Applications for the 2026 season are now open.Jennifer opens up about the lessons homesteading has taught her: the power of community, the importance of trying new things, even if they fail, and the value of starting small. She reminds us that you don't need a thousand acres to begin living more sustainably; you just need the willingness to take the first step.For Natural Nook Farm, the next steps are big ones. As they head into 2026, the Whitneys are expanding into horsedrawn carriage and wagon services, powered by their growing team of Percheron horses, an exciting new chapter shaped by the belief that change, while hard, can open doors you never expected.

Hælen din trenger hvile," sa Ingrid med bekymrede øyne.En: "Sindre, you must not run today. Your heel needs rest," said Ingrid with worried eyes.No: "Jeg klarer det. Bare en lett jogg," svarte Sindre, bestemt på å trosse smerten.En: "I can manage it. Just a light jog," replied Sindre, determined to defy the pain.No: Ola lo lett.En: Ola chuckled lightly.No: "Vet du, noen ganger er det best å lytte til kroppen din. Du vil vel ikke ende opp med krykker?" Ingrid nikket enig.En: "You know, sometimes it's best to listen to your body. You don't want to end up on crutches, do you?" Ingrid nodded in agreement.No: Men Sindre, sta som han var, satte i gang.En: But Sindre, stubborn as he was, set off.No: Han startet forsiktig, résume til å holde seg på de flate stiene.En: He started carefully, aiming to stay on the flat paths.No: Etter noen minutter begynte smerten å skyte opp i benet.En: After a few minutes, the pain began to shoot up his leg.No: Med hvert steg vokste den, men han ville ikke gi opp ennå.En: With each step, it grew, but he didn't want to give up just yet.No: Men da han tok en sving og en skarp smerte gikk gjennom ankelen, snublet Sindre nesten.En: But when he took a turn and a sharp pain shot through his ankle, Sindre almost stumbled.No: Han grep en parkbenk for å støtte seg.En: He grabbed a park bench for support.No: "Sindre!" ropte Ingrid og løp bort til ham.En: "Sindre!" shouted Ingrid and ran over to him.No: Ola fulgte etter, med en mer alvorlig mine enn vanlig.En: Ola followed, with a more serious expression than usual.No: Sindre pustet ut og så på vennene sine.En: Sindre exhaled and looked at his friends.No: "OK, dere har rett. Dette var dumt av meg. Jeg trenger å hvile."En: "Okay, you guys were right. This was silly of me. I need to rest."No: "Endelig," sa Ingrid og smilte mens hun hjalp ham til å sette seg på benken.En: "Finally," said Ingrid and smiled as she helped him to sit on the bench.No: "Vi kan sitte her en stund. Se på folk. Prate."En: "We can sit here for a while. Watch people. Chat."No: Ola slo seg ned ved siden av dem.En: Ola settled down next to them.No: "Jeg tar med kanelboller neste gang, da blir hvilen enda bedre."En: "I'll bring cinnamon buns next time, then the rest will be even better."No: Sindre smilte svakt og lente seg tilbake.En: Sindre smiled faintly and leaned back.No: "Jeg lærte noe i dag. Jeg trenger å lytte til kroppen min. Ingen høstløp er verdt en skade."En: "I learned something today. I need to listen to my body. No autumn run is worth an injury."No: Så satt de der, lyttet til lydene av parken og delte latter mens solen sakte begynte å gå ned over Oslo.En: So they sat there, listened to the sounds of the park, and shared laughter as the sun slowly began to set over Oslo.No: Sindre, Ingrid, og Ola visste at dagen hadde gitt dem mer enn bare en vanlig joggetur; den hadde gitt dem en leksjon i vennskap og fornuft.En: Sindre, Ingrid, and Ola knew that the day had given them more than just an ordinary jog; it had given them a lesson in friendship and wisdom.No: Og det var en viktig lærdom.En: And that was an important lesson.

SummaryThis is the story of how a "pipe dream," a full-time job, and a Billy Currington song accidentally launched one of barbecue's most memorable brands.Jason Rains, the founder of "Pretty Good At Drinking Beer Barbecue," joins us to share his wild 15-year journey. He started with zero experience and a team name that's a marketing nightmare (but a fan favorite). He pulls no punches, recounting the story of finishing "dead ass last" at a major competition only to fight his way back to a Grand Reserve (second place) finish years later.In this episode, Jason shares the unfiltered story behind his brand, his bold quest to create a sauce "better than Head Country" (a big deal in Oklahoma!), and his new projects, including a non-traditional smoker cookbook and a revolutionary no-sugar-added sauce sweetened with monk fruit.More than just barbecue, this is a story about community, passion, and hustle. Jason balances his full-time job and a return to college for digital marketing, all while running his growing business. His core philosophy? "Food doesn't care about your race. Food doesn't care about your religion... Food brings people together."In this episode, you'll learn:The Origin Story: How a Billy Currington song on a back porch led to the "PGADB" brand.The Competition Grind: The truth about competing, from finishing "dead ass last" in 2015 to claiming a top prize.Oklahoma Sauce Wars: The cultural importance of Head Country and Jason's mission to create a sauce he loves even more.What's Next: A sneak peek at his upcoming second cookbook (focused on non-traditional smoker dishes) and his new no-sugar-added sauce.The "Pipe Dream": How Jason's passion project evolved into a legitimate business with employees.Core Philosophy: Why supporting local businesses and the spirit of community define the barbecue world.The Big Picture: Jason's powerful belief that food is the ultimate unifier, transcending politics, religion, and race.Chapters:0:23 The Origin of "Pretty Good At Drinking Beer Barbecue"3:06 Branding Challenges and Success4:18 Barbecue Competition Experiences5:38 The Evolution of BBQ Sauces6:07 Head Country BBQ Sauce in Oklahoma7:07 Changing Judge Preferences8:12 Developing a Sugar-Free BBQ Sauce10:11 Barbecue Sauce and Family11:37 The Science of Smoking Meat15:06 Smoker Recommendations: Hasty Bake and Oklahoma Joe19:00 The Nook and Local Business Support21:19 Philosophy of Supporting Local Businesses22:19 Challenges of Competing with Big Box Retailers24:26 Why "Pretty Good At Drinking Beer Barbecue" Avoids Walmart25:27 Working with Homeland Stores27:38 The Realities of the BBQ Sauce Business29:59 Shipping BBQ Sauce Nationwide31:09 The Power of Food to Bring People Together31:56 Juggling a Full-Time Job and a "Pipe Dream" Business33:09 The First Cookbook: "I'd Smoke That"34:09 Non-Traditional Smoker Recipes37:18 Plans for the Second Cookbook39:31 The Value of Teaching and Community40:06 Smooth Sailing and Stressful Times41:09 Leaving a Legacy41:35 The Camaraderie of the Barbecue World43:24 First Grand Reserve Win46:25 Helping Fellow Competitors50:18 Favorite Food (Not Barbecue)51:00 Regional Barbecue Styles52:48 Belief in Luck vs. Smartness53:34 Returning to College for Digital MarketingBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/brews-business--5630487/support.

Need a Gorgeous Diwali Outfit? Nimisha Aunty Will Take Care of You On a recent weekend, a Morgan Hill home's two-car garage was transformed into something dazzling. Shoppers tried on embroidered Indian outfits and excitedly chatted in Hindi and Gujarati. This is Nivy's Nook, the homegrown boutique Nimisha Jadav runs out of her garage. As part of our series about about people spreading joy and building connection in their communities, The California Report's intern Srishti Prabha found that while people may come here looking for saris, chaniya cholis and salwar kameez, they leave with so much more. After Nearly 2 Years of War in Gaza, More LA Rabbis Push Back This week marked the second anniversary of the October 7th attacks. And news of an initial cease fire and hostage deal between Israel and Hamas is offering some hope of ending the war in Gaza. Even before this preliminary agreement was announced, Reporter Benjamin Gottlieb had been talking with Jewish leaders in Los Angeles, who've been taking a very public stance against the war – and the actions of the Israeli Government – for the first time in two years. The West Coast's First Naval Base Is Now A Whiskey Distillery Californians have made whiskey since the Gold Rush, but craft bourbon has taken off in the last couple decades, with as many as 150 distilleries here in the state. For her series California Foodways, Lisa Morehouse visited a distillery in Solano County that's producing whiskey at a location where the Navy once built ships and submarines.

Today's show takes us to September 24, 1950, for an episode of The Jack Kirkwood Show, a fast-paced satirical comedy that aired on the Mutual Radio Network. Kirkwood is not very well remembered, but his crazy humor is in the vein of Stan Freberg or Henry Morgan. This episode is packed with sketches, musical numbers, and recurring bits like “Mad House Theater” and “Poet's Nook,” all built around Kirkwood's wordplay, sly observations, and quick back-and-forth with his cast, including Connie Haines, Wally Brown, and Lillian Leigh.

Last week, actress Bindi Irwin made a viral post on Instagram. Bindi is the daughter of the late Steve Irwin – the famed “Crocodile Hunter.” Bindi is also, herself, a conservationist, but her post didn’t have to do with wildlife health. Rather, it was about her own. She said she was recovering from surgery to remove 51 lesions, a cyst, and her appendix. Prior to this, Irwin had suffered 13 years of pain from endometriosis. She wrote, “I felt utterly ashamed as a teenager and young adult being told that my pain was just part of being a woman. I felt lesser. I felt hurt. I felt weak.” Several celebrities have spoken up about their experiences with endometriosis. Padma Lakshmi, Florence Pugh, Whoopi Goldberg, Lena Dunham – the list goes on. Approximately one in ten women is affected by endometriosis. According to Yale Medicine, it’s present in up to 50% of women who are infertile. And between 50% and 80% of women with pelvic pain. But, it’s a disease that’s rarely discussed - in part because the pain experienced is often dismissed as cramps or period pain. Guest: Dr. Cindy Mosbrucker is a nationally recognized expert in minimally-invasive excision of endometriosis, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic pain in women. Her clinic is Pacific Endometriosis and Pelvic Surgery in Gig Harbor.

In this special episode of Nerds' Nook, we join Dr. Krista Kostroman, Chief Science Officer of The DNA Company, in diving into the study of how APOE4 plays a factor to late onset dementia, and ways on how to prevent it. We know that certain diet and lifestyle changes can slow or even reverse dementia symptomology. Therefore, looking at the brains of those suffering with late-onset depression might give them a seven-year head start by making those changes before symptoms even appear. #Alzheimersdementia #dementia #lateonsetdepression #dementiatreatment Medical Disclaimer: The information provided in this communication is for general informational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

The video examines how this phenomenon isn't limited to white Americans but is increasingly expressed by black Americans themselves. Dice showcases numerous TikTok clips of black creators discussing their own experiences with black fatigue, highlighting community concerns about accountability, criminal behavior, and victimhood mentality. The analysis contrasts these authentic perspectives with how mainstream AI systems like Google and ChatGPT define the term through a cultural Marxist lens. Throughout, Dice demonstrates the double standards in how certain language is policed when discussing these sensitive social issues. ⚠️ Order your shirts here: https://www.markdice.com

Glenn Beck, Mark Dice. TRUMP HUMILIATES DEMOCRATS IN SPEECH TO CONGRESS, Highlights, BEST SPEECH OF HIS LIFE? Glenn Beck- Democrats Exposed Their Own HATE During Trump's Speech Mark Dice- TRUMP HUMILIATES DEMOCRATS IN SPEECH TO CONGRESS - BEST SPEECH OF HIS LIFE? Democrats Exposed Their Own HATE During Trump's Speech Love him or hate him, President Trump came off swinging last night during his first joint session of Congress, and you could see how much of a different president he is this time around. He touted all his successes in his first month and a half, giving a clear path to where America is going next. Glenn discusses the planned reaction of the Democrat Party, who sat throughout the entire speech and refused to show any support, even for a 13-year-old brain cancer survivor. Leftists also tried to block Trump's motorcade from arriving for his speech, and for the first time, a congressman was expelled after Rep. Al Green kept yelling during Trump's speech. BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler joins to discuss President Trump's speech and the Democrat Party exposing themselves after they reacted so hatefully to things that should be bipartisan.
