Lianne Dalziel Christchurch's mayor being intervened about the event.
It was Five years today September 4, 2015 that Canterbury was first shaken by a major quake, the people of Christchurch gathered on New Brighton beach this morning to mark the anniversary. I went with a friend but she didn't want to get up so early so we missed part of it. New Brighton Christchurch New Zealand at dawn.
There was a person from Radio News interviewing people there about their experiences of the earthquake five years ago and I was on the Radio News and also in a article.

TNIG - Interviewer
FP - Felicia Preston
TNIG: Hello Felicia! How does it feel to be the 1st eliminated this cycle? By the way, you are looking lovely tonight.
FP: Thank you, thank you. *bows* I just got my new curly weave tracks sewed in. Oh, and about being eliminated? It hurts, it's pathetic how Martha and Airel are still in over me but... I'm just most upset about going back to Brooklyn.
TNIG: Oh, how's your life back in Brooklyn?
FP: I had a rough childhood. I was homless during my early teenage years, I lived in alley ways and friends houses. I was always seeking to become a star. Always trying to find my way out.
TNIG: How did you start modeling?
FP: Well, just a year ago I moved to the city, with very little money my friend had given me. I tried to get into Cannon Models. It was way to hard, they just overlooked me. When I saw they were having auditions for TNIG C.2 I decided to try out since it would be the easier way into the fashion industry.
TNIG: Modeling is for sure a hard industry to become big in. How is Reese in real life?
FP: Oh, she's awesome! She's got this humble attitude with some rocker flare that I love. She's a real person, just wish I got to know her better.
TNIG: Were you surprised you got eliminated?
FP: Hell yea! I was completely blind sided. I didn't even think my photo was that bad. I knew that when I was in the bottom 2 with my home gurl, Lex... I was a goner. The producers told me I was better for the Bad Girls Club then TNIG. Which hurt, a lot.
TNIG: How was it living in a house full of girls? Who where you closest with?
FP: To start off, that house was paradise! It was huge and such a nice treat, ya know... being homeless and all. Living in a house with 13 other girls, that's a whole 'nother story. Camille and Chloe thought they could run the show, of course Lex said something about it and a brawl between the 4 of us began. The other girls kinda acted like they were scared of us and just watched the whole thing unraval.
TNIG: It sounds like you and Alexandria made a good friendship in a short period of time. Who do you want to win?
FP: Yes, we just understand each other. I feel bad, everyone just doesn't like her. She's all by herself now... but she doesn't need friends to win! I know she can do this.
TNIG: What are your plans, now that this is over for you?
FP: This is just the beginning of me! I already got some offers for another agency that is giving new, fresh models a chance, I'm getting sick of all those supermodels over at Cannon! You will be sure to see me out there.
TNIG: It was great hearing your story. It was a pleasure.
FP: Aww, thanks! I'm not this big, ghetto ass person everyone makes me out to be.

www.1001pallets.com/2015/06/pallet-crafter-interview-3-jo...
We continue our series of interview, this time with Joan Stricker from the blog Scavenger Chic, she is also one of our best contributors on 1001Pallets and she's making very original creations out of repurposed wooden pallets. If you think you deserve to be featured in the next interview, please, drop us an email.
Tell us a little more about you? Who you are? Where are you from?
My name is Joan Stricker and I live in Maryland. Happily married to my husband of 31 years. I'm the mother of three boys, 2 of whom are married and the third in high school. Twice a week you can find me blogging at Scavenger Chic with any kind of project that happens to catch my eye.
Why do you craft?
I don't remember a time when I didn't craft. I watched my mom as a kid do her projects, sewing, quilting, gardening... she could do it all. My dad started his own business, but he loved woodworking. When he wanted a ping pong table, he built one, when he wanted a chair to match one he had bought, he built one. With this influence, it just seemed like the thing to do, and I get so much pleasure out of it. I guess it's in my blood!!
When I first began to make my own home, my mom and I went to auctions and thrift stores and refinished and reupholstered to fill my home with furniture at a fraction of the price you could buy new furniture. If anyone had thought about using pallets then, I'm sure my home would be filled with pallet furniture. I wish I had known then that chippy painted furniture was going to come into style, it would have saved me a lot of paint stripping.
How did you learn?
Like I said, my parents were both huge do it yourselfers. I remember as a teenager, if I needed to saw a piece of wood, I would just go downstairs and fire up the table saw. I can proudly say, I still have all my fingers. Aside from that, I also minored in art in college. Working with a lot of mediums led me to believe there was nothing I couldn't try. One of my classes even used the arc welder, though I haven't used it since, that would be fantastic to combine iron with pallets...
Since when are you working with pallets?
I've been working with pallets since 2012, when I finished my first pallet wall. I haven't shared that one with 1001 pallets yet, you'll just have to wait. To date, I've probably used over 100 pallets that were destined for the trash.
What are your can’t-live-without essentials?
In terms of electric tools, I absolutely have to have a drill, palm sander and circular saw. But don't try to take away my miter saw. nail gun or jigsaw or someone might get hurt.
How would you describe your style? Are there any crafters/artists/designers that you particularly look up to?
I would have to describe my style as rustic or shabby chic. That is why pallets are perfect for me, they already have built in character. If you need perfect wood, then pallets are not for you. I love other crafters that are into upcycling and recycling, such as Donna at Funky Junk Interiors or Becky at Beyond the Picket Fence and Angie at Knick of Time. I'm sure there are hundreds more, but these ladies are always using something old, that's rusty and crusty and making it into something new and unique.
How is your workspace, how do you make it inspiring?
I have a great workshop in the corner of my basement which I don't mind getting dirty. In January I gave my workshop a makeover, cleaning, organizing, and painting. You can see a bit of it here. It doesn't have a window though, so if I'm going to be painting or need extra light, I'll bring the project up into the kitchen. What is nice about having a dedicated work space is that I can usually shut the door to prevent the rest of the house from gathering a layer of dust.
What sorts of things are inspiring you right now? Where do you look for inspiration?
Right now I've been on a "vintage" sign kick. Pallet wood is the perfect backdrop to get that vintage feel without using actual old wood. I just completed a telephone sign painted on pallet wood last week.
While Pinterest is a great place to be inspired, I'll usually be inspired by an object...what can I make out of this? That was the case with the pallet wood and bedsprings light...it all started with the bedsprings. Or I'll be inspired by a specific need, such as when my daughter-in-law asked me to make centerpieces for her wedding or the rolling storage bin...I had a whole lot of bits and pieces and nowhere to put them.
We live in such a mass-produced, buy-it-now society. Why should people continue to make things by hand?
Besides being able to say, I built that. There are so many reasons to be a do it yourself-er. It can save a ton of money, especially if you're using free pallet wood. The pallet wood bench, free, the valentine's heart, free, the sign post, free. Things made by hand can also be personalized and they are usually made better than their store bought counterparts.
What is your favorite medium to work in?
Pallet wood has got to be my favorite but I love finding old rusty iron pieces and recreating them into something useful.
What are your tips for people who'd like to start crafting?
Start small and get comfortable with one tool at a time. Don't be scared of tools, they are there to make your life easier. Start with what you feel comfortable with. If you enjoy painting, pick up a paintbrush, if you enjoy sewing start there...but incorporate something new into your project that's a stretch.
What is your guilty pleasure?
Other than chocolate, can I say my nail gun. The reason that it is my guilty pleasure is that it is not really mine, I gave it to my husband for his birthday one year. Nobody gets more pleasure out of using it than me.
What is your favorite thing to do (other than crafting)?
I love a nice hike in the woods, I love genealogy, gardening, travel and spending time with my family.
What do you recommend that most people do in terms of cleaning pallets and prepping them to become something else?
I always tear my pallets apart so I have a pile of pallet wood waiting for my next project. I've found the easiest way to do this, for me anyway, is to take a circular saw down alongside both side rails on both sides of the pallet. Immediately you've reduced the number of nails by two thirds. If the pallet comes apart easily, then I'll just take a crowbar and hammer to it. If it puts up a good fight, like most pallets, then the reciprocating saw comes out to chop off the remaining nails.
To finish, we've seen that you have an active blog. Since how many times are you blogging? Is that a full time job or just a hobby to share your personal creations?
I do have an active blog with only about a quarter of my projects using pallet wood or other reclaimed wood. I wouldn't mind my blog becoming a full time job but since it doesn't produce much income, we'll just call it a hobby right now. I love to inspire other people with easy to follow tutorials, because if I can do it, I'm sure you can too.

Françoise is our interviewer, of course!
Françoise: What is your name?
Victor: Victor Chamberlain.
Françoise: What is your nationality or ethnicity?
Victor: Typical American bastard.
Françoise: When were you born, and how old are you?
Victor: I was born in Boston 24 years ago.
Françoise: What is your race?
Victor: Um? Human? Human would be my species...
Françoise: Are you single or taken? Who is your lover/crush?
Victor: I am single. I can’t tell you who I’m in love with, you’d tell everyone!
Françoise: That’s not true! I can keep a secret.
Victor: Famous last words.
Françoise: I bet it’s Vala!
Victor: No way! I’m scared of her.
Françoise: Are you straight, gay, bi, trans?
Victor: Straight.
Françoise: Favorite hobby?
Victor: Drinking, reading. I like to draw a little.
Françoise: You do?! I’ve never seen your drawings!
Victor: I’m sure you have. They’re all over the club…
Françoise: The wine labels?
Victor: Shhh.
Françoise: You should make your own wine, with a pretty label. That’s how to sell wine nowadays.
Françoise: Anyway, what is your favorite food and drink?
Victor: My favorite drink is fake red wine, and my favorite food is real red wine.
Françoise: That doesn’t count! A real food.
Victor: Then I’ll be very Boston and say lobster.
Françoise: That is a silly answer. Lobster just tastes like butter.
Victor: You are a terrible French person with no palate whatsoever.
Françoise: That is not true! It’s American cooking that is the problem. I was not a vegetarian before we came to America.
Françoise: Do you have a job?
Victor: If I do, the IRS doesn’t know about it...
Françoise: What is your favorite animal?
Victor: Cats. Lazy ones only. My favorite everythings are lazy.
Françoise: What is your bad habit?
Victor: I still smoke sometimes, trying to quit though.
Françoise: What's your favorite hangout?
Victor: I don’t know, can I say your house?
Françoise: It doesn’t feel like work to babysit our house?
Victor: It’s nice being here. Much cleaner than my house, much nicer smelling than the club. Very homey.
Françoise: Do you have a favorite holiday?
Victor: When I was a kid, my mom’s family always had a picnic at Memorial day, and we’d go to the beach. It’s a sad occasion for a holiday, but the beach always feels that way, half sad and half relaxing.
Imaginary Outside Interviewer: Dolls (from other families) you'd like to meet?
Victor giving away all the hints: Byouyuuken’s Thisbe is very pretty.
Françoise: Would you briefly tell your background?
Victor: My mom came to Boston for college, on a scholarship. She started an affair with a married professor. And then she had me. My father was a very wealthy and refined man, but he cared for me only to mold me into a copy of himself, and he made no bones about the fact that he wanted my mother and me to be a secret. I learned a lot from him, because I was determined to take from him everything I could. When my mother died… it was a difficult time. I’m grateful that Leo found a place for me in his organization. He’s been more of a family to me than my own family. You and Vala too.

Today, we had the chance to ask some questions to Thomas Dambo, Artist & Designer from Denmark who specializes in making art pieces, sculptures, furniture and anything you can imagine out of trash, also known as recycled materials. Thomas also gives a lot of speeches about upcycling and arranges workshops for schools, companies, etc... teaching people how to build stuff from trash. If you think you deserve to be featured in the next interview, please, drop us an email.
Tell us a little more about you? Who you are? Where are you from?
My name is Thomas Dambo, I'm an artist and designer from Denmark working entirely with trash.
Why do you craft?
I want to show the world that there is so much good stuff in our trash, I do this by making big and beautifull projects of trash all around the world. And then, I just love to make my ideas come to life with my hands, it's just the best feeling.
How did you learn and how did you become an upcycled artist?
I can't walk by a container without looking into it, and I always bring some stuff back to my workshop, just to see what I can do with them. After doing this for many many years I guess I just got good at it. Now I have a big workshop filled with all different stuff I scavanged around my home town of copenhagen.
Since when are you working with junk materials and in upcycling in general? You are making a lot of installations with recycled pallets, why do you choose to work with wooden pallets?
Pallets are just so easy to get, they are all over the world and, in many places people will give them to you for free. At my last trip to Australia, a guy even offered to drive 100 miles and give me around 300 pallets just to get rid of them.
Your installations are big ones and look very complexes, how long does it take to create one?
My wooden sculptures takes me and my team of 5 guys between 4-10 days to create, but it really depends on what the basic idea is and then of cause how many beers we drink in the evening.
What are your can’t-live-without essentials?
That's my bicycle no doubt.
How would you describe your style? Are there any crafters/artists/designers that you particularly look up to?
I believe what I'm really good at, is to make it happen, I get an idea and jump right into it. I like to make big stuff, I like to do it in the streets, my art is for everybody, it's interactive, it's fun, it's easy to understand and of cause it's recycled.
How is your workspace, how do you make it inspiring?
It's bacically a big hardware store, but instead of new stuff on the shelves, I have old stuff, everything is needly organized and cateforized and I can pretty much make everything without having to buy anything.
What sorts of things are inspiring you right now? Where do you look for inspiration?
I let the things I find inspire what I make, recently a whole lot of small shopping cart wheels. Earlier, I found a lot of plywood. Then, I was thinking what can I make with this - and in this way I got the idea to make a rolling alphabet, so these days I'm building all the letters of the alphabet on separately and in 3-dimentional with wheels, in this way people will be able to push them around and write what ever they will like, it will be something like an interactive personal Hollywood sign.
When do you feel the most creative?
When there is a problem I have to solve, often a good idea comes to me when I'm under pressure. Then, I'm able to choose the best option faster, without thinking too much about it.
We live in such a mass-produced, buy-it-now society. Why should people continue to make things by hand?
If you cant create anything yourself, you will have to buy everything. If you don't create things you don't learn how things work, and you won't be able to repair your things, but will be forced to throw them away and buy new things all the time.
What is your favorite medium to work in (other than pallets)?
I really like to work with all wood, there is so much scrap wood, all over the world, and with some screws you can make the most amazing big and strong structures.
What are your tips for people who'd like to start crafting?
Look at what kind of trash you have access to, maybe your mom works in a factory where they throw out tons of small glass pieces, then go get some of those glass pieces and start a brain storm on what you can do with this glass. The world is sadly but truly filled to the top with trash - you should choose some trash just around the corner, not something you are having a hard time to find.
What is your guilty pleasure?
Instant chocklatemilk, ultimate fighting and new tools.
What is your favorite thing to do (other than crafting)?
Bicycling.
What do you recommend that most people do regarding cleaning pallets and prepping them to become something else?
My number one pallet rule is - only use trash pallets / throw away pallets, if you use pallets in a refund system like the Euro-pallet, its not recycling!! It is mass consumption and destruction of a perfectly good recycling system.
You are very productive regarding artistic installations, are you able to live from your art?
Yes I have been able to live from artistic work pretty much the last 12 years, besides from recycle art, I have made 10 hip-hop albums and played hundreds of concerts, I made several music video, worked as a grafic designer, made some recycle TV programs and even toured for some years with a human beatbox show.
Anything else you would like to tell to pallet community?
Yes, go check out my www.youtube.com/user/ThomasDambo channel, and if anybody have a tip how to get some more subscribers on it, please let me know, I really think I have some good videos, but nobody goes to see them.
Cheers pallet peoples, Thomas Dambo
Thanks Thomas for this interview :)

Ms Skolnick being interviewed by local newscaster about the extension of Shillmans famous January Coat Sale due to the impending snow storms coming to Washington DC.
Ms Skolnick started the interview by saying, "Hello my Shillman customers" When asked about being a dowdy store and the state of sales , Ms Skolnick gave the interviewer kinda a sharp edge of her tounge and went on to say that sales were way up.

L'interview indiscrète
Chez Marc (Morgan) Wathieu
Fruit d’une énième collaboration avec l’infatigable Benjamin Schoos et sa galaxie Freaksville, Marc Wathieu évoque avec nous le projet The Loved Drones, sorte de spin-off de Miam Monster Miam, son passé dans la variété et nous présente ses 3 objets fétiches joliment surréalistes à l’image de la musique qu’il propose désormais.
Après The Tangible Effect of Love né il y a 3 ans sur Freaksville, c’est cette fois sur le label Gonzaï Records que sort en vinyl Good Luck Universe, 2e effort studio des Loved Drones mixé par le londonien Man from Uranus et sur lequel collabore le joueur de cithare Simon Rigot. Un sacré cocktail volontairement protéiforme mêlant musique instrumentale, ondes psychédéliques et kraut rock accompagné de clips compilant d’étranges images. Un univers intergalactique qui contraste avec celui que Marc alors Morgan, a connu dans les années 90 qui l’a conduit, notamment via le tube Notre mystère, nos Retrouvailles vers des contrées plus pop et fm. Mes premiers projets (Les Tricheurs et La Variété avec Bernard Dobbeleer et Rudy Léonet - ndlr) étaient résolument rock et j’ai eu une période de 4 albums comme chanteur en solo, dans ce qu’on appelle en France de la variété. Mais cela n’a pas changé ma nature, du coup, ce que je propose aujourd’hui avec The Loved Drones peut paraître surprenant mais pour moi, participer à l’aventure Freaksville qui propose des projets d’une tonalité garage underground pop en français, me semble cohérent. C’est très DIY comme fonctionnement, toujours un peu bancal au niveau de l’organisation mais toujours humainement très enrichissant et il se passe toujours des choses un peu dingues comme quand à un de nos concerts dans un petit club à Londres, on voit Martin Gore (de Depeche Mode – ndlr) dans le public. Cela fait partie des joyeuses coïncidences qui résultent probablement de la bizarrerie du chemin qu’on a choisi.
VINYLE MÉGOTS
Autre bizarrerie observée, ce drôle de vinyl qui orne la table du salon. C’est une œuvre réalisée par ma compagne, la peintre Charlotte Beaudry qui, connaissant ma passion de digger de disques, en a réalisé un en céramique qu’elle a appelé Kick Out The Jams en l’honneur de l’hymne pré-punk de MC5 et qu’elle a surtout agrémenté de mégots de cigarettes. Je trouvais ça très transgressant comme choix artistique de synthétiser ce monde de freaks qu’est le rock avec 2 symboles presque fétichistes. J’ai une formation aux Beaux-Arts et je donne actuellement cours de graphisme dans une école d’art donc être entouré d’une artiste à la maison est forcément très inspirant.
UNE TASSE
J’aime ces drôles d’accident de la vie, à l’image de cette tasse. À première vue, ça n’a l’air que d’une tasse, mais je l’adore vraiment parce qu’un jour, bêtement en faisant la vaisselle, elle est tombée de ma main, a heurté le sol mais a rebondi et a atterri à nouveau dans ma main. Au-delà de la jonglerie improbable, j’étais persuadé qu’elle allait se casser et non, elle a fait naître un petit trou, presque artistique. C’est un objet qui incarne le côté complètement invraisemblable de certaines situations. Le coup de chance incongru, symbole d’un moment hors de notre espace-temps.
MA GUITARE
Pour terminer, Marc Wathieu nous parle d’un échange au départ surprenant, mais qui au final s’est avéré payant. Adolescent, sa première guitare était une Fender Stratocaster, mais il se rend compte rapidement qu’elle ne rend pas le son escompté. Un de ses amis liégeois lui propose un jour d’échanger celle-ci avec une gui- tare venant de Paris... J’ai d’abord été très surpris quand j’ai vu qu’elle était rose. Une Fender aussi mais une Telecaster Esquire spécialement fabri- quée (pour ne pas dire trafiquée) par le (désormais célèbre) luthier franco-américain James Trussart. Elle a surtout suivi toutes les étapes de ma carrière et mon fils Maxime l’a même aussi utilisée avec son groupe (The Mash avec lequel il a fait la 1re partie d’Indochine à Forest - ndlr). Ce qui est drôle, c’est que bien avant que je ne travaille avec lui, Jacques Duvall me l’avait dédicacée en me disant que j’étais l’avenir du rock n’ roll (rires).

TNIG: Interviewer
CH: Chloe Holland
TNIG - Hello Chloe, you look great. How are you doing after being eliminated?
CH - I'm hella pissed. But you know what, it's their loss. They WILL regret it.
TNIG - Do you feel like you should've been eliminated?
CH - Hell no! If anything it should've been Madge, that chick doesn't even want to be a model for the life of her. And worst of all Alexandria is still there over me.
TNIG - How was it living in a house full of cameras?
CH - Not fun to say the least. I need my space and having a camera in your face 24/7 isn't cute. Growing up in Atlanata... Let's just say I lived in the gated community. It's hard being a classy women when your being caught on camera at your worst moments.
TNIG - Who were you closest to in the house?
CH - Camille. Well, I was close with her from the start. We just clicked, we're both rich bitches... need I say more? From day 1 we told all the girls how it was and they were all scared of us. A couple of days before I left we got in a huge fight. I heard Camille talking behind my back, saying I had the worst photos out of all the girls and I wasn't happy. Apparently now she's friends with Alexandria. I swear that bitch can run her damn mouth! .
TNIG - What was your favorite photoshoot in the compettion?
CH - "Nighty Nite". I loved that shoot! I owned it that week. I showed the girls that I was compettion. The rest of the photos weren't my favorite... Oh, don't even get me started on that "Groupies" shoot. That's was a hot mess. Alexandria was trying to not only control the set, but touch up me and Madge's makeup... fix the lighting and even try to pose me and Madge! We got into a huge fight on set and I could tell Madge was scared of us shitless. Poor girl.
TNIG - Are you going to continue modeling now that you are eliminated?
CH - Hell yeah! Just because I didn't win doesn't mean I still can't be a Top Model, can I get an amen from the choir? I think the judges were just blinded by how beautiful I am. I'm pretty sure the producers just picked my worst photo this week on purpose.
TNIG - Who are you rooting for to win?
CH - Ummm. Honestly, I'm not rooting for any of them to win. But I think it's going to be down to Ralph and Logan at this point.
