This past week, if you were a die heart hip hop fan you know at the Rolling Loud Festival in Miami, is where you should have been. For over 10 hours daily, spread between three days fans were able to watch their favorite artist perform their mega hits in Miami. Rolling Loud Festival had fans being extremely strategic due to the different acts, stages (different venues nearby), and performance times, that fans had to prioritize and jet as if it was the Great Race, only to see your favorite hip hop artist as the final prize.
There is nothing like the Rolling Loud Festival today. Despite it being concert season, Essence Music, Made In America, OVO Fest, Oshega; there has not been a festival solely dedicated to hip hop artist as Rolling Loud has done with its lineup other than the exception of HOT97's Summer Jam. Nevertheless, the three days were completely packed the Billboard No. 1 artist such as A$AP Rocky, Lil Wayne, Future, The Underachievers, Gucci Mane, YG, Lil Uzi Vert, and much more.
According to XXLmag.com this Rolling Loud festival was lineup was a balance eclectic array of old a new artist. By Day Three fans had to plan their time wisely because Migos, Post Malone, Gucci Mane, Lil Uzi Vert, and Travis Scott were tightly timed together. By Sunday, fans were beyond exhausted but were graced with the some, if not all of hip hop's GOATS.

Best Gifts Under $20
Whether you're on a budget or looking for stocking stuffers, I've got you covered. Here are ten gifts for under $20. These are also good for that secret santa at the office that you know you need to get something for. I tried to go for a wide array, but if you're really stuck, I suggest Anthropologie, Uncommon Goods, and ThinkGeek. They usually have a few cost-effective gifts.
For the nice-smells enthusiast, try the Boulangerie Jar Candles from Anthropologie. They're made in the USA and smell divine, in many different varieties. For the tea enthusiast (100% my friend Kathleen), a cute or novelty tea infuser is adorable and functional. This travel journal from Rifle Paper Co. is something that I currently own, and completely love. It has lots of space for writing down all of your wonderful adventures, and space to glue in any ticket stubs or small mementos. Great for a friend who is currently on a globetrotting kick.

For the person who lives in the kitchen, a gift for a coworker, or a great hostess gift, there's an adorable little Artisan S'mores Kit, unique extra-tiny measuring spoons for a pinch, smidgen, or dash, or a funny bottle opener (Kikkerland has a ton of gifts for people you don't know well). And for the dog owner and selfie enthusiast, how about the puppy selfie helper?

There are times when I feel like I live at my desk. Dress up the desk with a modern, classic frame like this one from Umbra. I also love to keep trinket dishes around for paperclips, jewelry, or little odds and ends. Finally, there's always a nice little desk accesory, like this cactus. Room to pin on notes, and then underneath the cork is storage space as well.

Happy Shopping!

Postdoctoral fellow (SoS-Agile Project)
Application due: 01/12/2018
SINTEF is one of Europe's largest research organisations, with multidisciplinary expertise in the fields of technology, the natural sciences and the social sciences. SINTEF is an independent foundation and has conducted contract research and development projects for the private and public sectors since 1950. SINTEF has 2000 employees from 75 countries and annual revenues of three billion Norwegian kroner.
Vision: Teknologi for a better society.
SINTEF Digital supplies research-based expertise and technology for the development of systems, products and services in the fields of micro and sensor systems, monitoring and communication systems, information systems and numerical modelling software, health research and technology management. We operate a modern micro-/nanolaboratory (MiNaLab) that is among the world's leading laboratories in the development and small-scale production of MEMS and radiation sensors.
SINTEF Digital is searching for Postdoctoral fellow The position's field of research/research project; Software Security in Agile/DevOps Software Development
About the project:
SoS-Agile (http://www.sintef.no/sos-agile) is a research project financed by the IKTPLUSS programme of the Norwegian Research Council. The project is a collaboration between SINTEF Digital, NTNU - IDI, and software companies in Norway. The overall research problem to be addressed by the project is the integration of software security and agile software development, and addressing the general lack of a scientific approach to security research.
The postdoctoral candidate will contribute to the project within the following areas:
- Responsibility for Doing Action Research on Security Architecture in Agile/DevOps Projects: Security is a quality attribute that has both architectural and coding implications — it is necessary to get both right to create and maintain secure systems. However, most of the existing research on making systems secure has focused on coding, and there is little direction or insight into how to create a secure architecture.
- Treat Modeling and Architecture Analysis Methods: Architectural risk assessment is a risk management process that identifies flaws in a software architecture and determines risks to business information assets that result from those flaws. Through the process of architectural risk assessment, flaws are found that expose information assets to risk, risks are prioritized based on their impact to the business, mitigations for those risks are developed and implemented, and the software is reassessed to determine the efficacy of the mitigations. The focus of the post-doctoral researcher will be on investigating empirically the effectiveness of different methods for architectural risk analysis for secure agile software development, eventually establishing a new methodology.
- Publications: Publish papers in the main conferences and journals of Software Engineering and Software Security research.
- International Collaboration: Establish collaboration with the top researchers in the area.
Qualification requirements:
Successful applicants must have a doctoral degree in software engineering, Computer Science, cyber security or a similar discipline, with strong skills in one or more areas such as empirical software engineering, software security, software architecture, security risk analysis. Applicants with expertise in software security will be preferred, but also other candidates will be considered. The applicant is expected to have great organizational skills, such as the ability to plan, coordinate resources and meet deadlines. Scandinavian language skills would be a plus.
On the cover letter, applicants are required to justify their candidateship by explicitly explaining their personal motivation and academic aptitude (general applications will not be considered).
The CV should detail the applicant's academic results, publications, relevant specialization, work or research experience and personal qualifications. Excellent English skills, written and spoken, are required. Applicants from non-European countries where English is not the official language must present an official language test report. The following tests can be used as such documentation: TOEFL, IELTS or Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) or Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE). Minimum scores are: TOEFL: 600 (paper-based test), 92 (Internet-based test), IELTS: 6.5, with no section lower than 5.5 (only Academic IELTS test accepted), CAE/CPE: grade B or A. Formal regulations: Must have a doctoral degree within a relevant area.
We offer:
- Competitive salary.
- Challenging applied research tasks.
- A good work environment with skillful, experienced, and creative research colleagues.
- Well-established national and international scientific and industrial networks.
- A large degree of autonomy, and flexible working hours.
- Social benefits (pension plan, insurance, possibility for kindergarten, etc.).
The successful candidate will be appointed for a period of 1 year, with possibility of extension.
Applicants are kindly requested to send a diploma supplement or a similar document, which describes in detail the study and grading system.

Chapter 4: Removing the DADA Professor
Eric Grayland settled back in his office chair and tapped his index finger on the desk top. His eyes were fixated on the door that had just closed behind a mix of students. All of them had the same question. 'Why are our grades different?'
He wasn't a head of house, and he did understand why the students truly wanted his opinion since he had only been teaching for a couple of months. It was the end of November of his first year. That in and of itself told him how worried the students were. So, he had read over their papers while they waited and could not determine the reason the Slytherins received an A or below and Gryffindors received an EE or above. The other two houses were all an A or above. But the papers were comparable in content and errors. He had sent them away, telling them to bring it up to the four Heads of Houses, preferable as a group.
Grabbing his quill and a piece of parchment, he started a letter. He had to do something about Parker. No longer was he just attacking the Headmaster, now he was hurting the students as well.

Severus looked at the blond who was sitting drinking in the arm chair across from him. "Lucius, I know that we kept him, but I honestly think that it was a poorly thought idea. We have had some bad Defense teachers, but I think this one is the worst since he is inconsistent. He is disrespectful of me, I'm not sure his relationship with my new potions master, Professor Heaven refuses to be around him anymore, and even Minerva thinks he needs to go. How can I get him removed from the school before the end of the year? Or the end of the month?"
Lucius swirled his drink about his glass as he thought about how the board would handle the request. "The board is going to want evidence. They are going to want to see it in writing, have witnesses to it, to hear what is going on, but not only from you. It has to be the students and the other staff members too. If you can pull that together, and present us with a viable alternative, then we can fulfill your request by tomorrow."
Severus nodded. "Then be ready for my owl. We shall pull this together. The hardest part will be finding a new teacher without letting the current one know that we are looking to replace him."
Lucius grinned lightly. "If anyone can pull it off, it would be you. I'll be looking forward to the owl. Now, what are you doing tomorrow evening. I know you have to be here for dinner, but Narcissa wants you to come over for desert. Greenbriar is not to far away, and you can let McGonagall take over for a couple of hours."
Severus narrowed his eyes as he contemplated his schedule. "Tell Narcissa that I'll be there about nine."
Lucius nodded. "Do try to wear something besides black. I don't want to be threatened into taking you shopping again."
Severus looked at his friend and raised an eyebrow. "You don't want to? I know you enjoy shopping."
Lucius just shook his head.

Eric slipped into the Three Broomsticks and looked about for the honey blond that was supposed to be meeting him there. He spotted her in the back of the room near the fireplace. Sliding into the seat across from her, he smiled. "Gretchen, thanks for coming."
Gretchen smiled back. "Of course I came. I mean, how can I ignore my big brother. Now, what was so important?"
He rested his eyes on hers, his face serious. "Would you be willing to teach Defense Against Dark Arts?" He waited on her answer.
Gretchen leaned forward, her eyes searching his face. "Why? I know you have a teacher in that position."
With a quick a wave of his wand, he cast a privacy spell. "He is an idiot. I have no idea his grading scale, but it has nothing to do with what the students are putting on paper. He harasses the Slytherins worse than Headmaster Snape ever did the Gryffindors. He keeps trying to get me to join in this."
Gretchen raised an eyebrow at him. "Are you back to protecting Snape from every perceived attack? I thought you stopped that your third year. I never understood why you trusted him."
Eric worried the pebble as he thought of how to tell Gretchen without breaking his promise that night. Each one of them had promised never to tell what happened and not to reveal the one who saved them.
Gretchen watched as he worried the pebble that he had never let go. She wished she still had hers. It was one of the most important pieces of magic that had ever happened to her. She now knew it wasn't exactly a port-key, but it had taken them to safety. She knew that Eric used it to help him feel safe, protected no matter what. He had let her and Marie hold onto it their first couple of nights at the new guardian's house. Her eyes widened as she stared at the stone and then her brother. "It was him, wasn't it?"
Eric tilted his head in question, trying to figure out his younger sister.
She shifted her eyes back to the necklace before speaking. "Snape was him, wasn't he?"
His eyes widened before he nodded. She had figured it out.
"That explains a lot. How long have you known?" She waited, wondering how long her brother had known who their savior was.
"Since my sorting." He watched as she looked surprised and then aggravated. "We promised not to say anything. I couldn't say anything. He knew I knew. And if you found out..."
"Then he would have made your life even more horrible." She nodded in understanding. "I can take the position, but I would like to offer it to Derrick Reynolds. He received his Masters last year, and is better at explaining than I am."
Eric shrugged. "As long as they have your recommendation, I'll back them to the Headmaster. When can he start?"
"Derrick has been working with Master Blanc since he past his test. He said he wanted more practice working with apprentices. I think he just hasn't found a position he wants. If he doesn't take it, I will. I haven't accepted a position anywhere yet."
Eric nodded. "I'll check with the Headmaster and see what he says. I'll let you know as soon as I do."
Gretchen nodded sharply. "Deal. Now, how have your classes been?"
Eric grinned as he filled her in on the day to day dynamics of teaching potions. He knew she would go tell Marie before the night was over.

Severus called a staff meeting for only the older teachers by a look and a small gesture at the end of dinner. He was a bit surprised to find Grayland by the door with a puzzled expression on his face.
"I'm sorry, sir, I didn't realize that there was a meeting tonight. Should I get the other two?" Eric met the black eyes as he waited to hear what the Headmaster wanted him to do.
Making a quick decision, he gestured for the Potions Master into the room. "No, Professor Grayland. Have a seat."
He caught Minerva's raised eyebrow and returned it with one of his own. A quick glance showed everyone in there seats. "I talked to Lucius Malfoy yesterday about the issues that they Heads have brought to my attention. I was told that the only answer to the problem was to gather evidence, and have staff as well as students willing to go before the Board of Governors." He noticed the confusion evident on most of the faces.
"The Heads brought to my attention that Professor Parker was not just attacking me, but was unfairly scoring student work. I need to know if there is anything else that he is doing that might be brought up against him."
Grayland shifted in his seat before signaling that he wanted to speak. "I don't know if it can be brought against him, but he is harassing me. He is trying to get me to join him in his beliefs about yourself, and on how he is treating the different houses. It has come to the point that I had to ask my sister Gretchen for a few spells to protect all my doors from him."
Severus narrowed his eyes a bit. "Yes, that counts. Will you be willing to stand before the board and tell them that?" When Grayland nodded, he looked at the rest of the table. "Has anyone else been harassed by the man?" The rest shook their heads no. He knew that he would have to talk to Professor Heaven later.
"Once we have presented our case to the Board, we also have to have someone to take his place. Does anyone here have an idea who would be willing to teach Defense." He let his eyes rest on Minerva, hoping one of the previous applicants would stick out in her mind.
Eric took a breath to steady his nerves. He hadn't expected to hold this conversation with everyone else there. "I do, sir." He sat up straighter when all the others pinned their eyes on him. "My sister, Gretchen, just received her Masters in Defense. I talked to her this afternoon and she said that she would be willing to take the position. She also said she would recommend Derrick Reynold, who received his Masters last year. He stayed with their current master to practice working with apprentices. I told her that I would ask you when the position would be open so she could talk to him." He searched the black eyes, looking for the anger at him over stepping his bounds.
Severus raised an eyebrow and met the others' eyes before looking back at the Hufflepuff. The others were just as impressed as he was. "You have saved us a lot of effort. I did want to do this without alerting the Parker." He looked back over at the other teachers. "How soon do you think you can gather work showing the discrepancies and find students willing to talk to the board?"
They looked at each other for a moment before Minerva answered. "By Monday evening. I know of at least four in my house who will be willing to do so."
Babbling nodded. "I have at least four who will be willing."
Pomona leaned forward onto the table. "I have two in mind who will be willing to talk to the board, and at least three who will allow us to use their work."
Filius studied the others for a moment. "I will have to ask who will allow their work to be examined, but I know at least five who'd be willing to talk to the Board."
Severus looked back at Grayland. "Tell your sister that we would most likely have an opening starting Tuesday. If she and Mr. Reynolds would be so kind as to stop by my office sometime Monday morning."
"Yes, sir." Grayland let a smile slide across his face. They were going to get rid of the pain. It had been fun to prank him at the beginning of the year, but that had paled as the harassment had become worse. Now he just wanted the man gone.

Lucius leaned against the wall at the top of the stairwell. Severus was standing next to him. Both of them were watching the main hall and the teachers that were moving purposefully through it. Lucius glanced over at Severus. "So, where are the students? I was sure that they would be here to see Parker off."
Severus didn't take his eyes off of Minerva. She had been very upset with the way Parker had gone on and on at the hearing. 'She is taking this a bit personally since she was the one to suggest that we keep him to prove that the curse was broken. And she thought that he would be okay. He wasn't this bad last year.' He watched as Grayland glided down the hall behind Filius. "I have them confined to their dormitories. I refuse for another scene like that of when Trelawny was removed by Umbridge."
Lucius raised an eyebrow and made a metal note to ask about that later. "Is Professor Reynolds ready to start class tomorrow?"
Severus nodded. "He is currently go over what Parker taught last year, and deciding what he wants to do."
Their conversation ended when the yelling started.
Parker glared at the Deputy Headmistress. "How can you live with yourself? How can you sleep at night knowing that you are taking orders from that man?"
Minerva's face didn't change as she advanced on him. "That man did far more for me and for the Wizarding world than you ever did. How can you sleep at night knowing that you can not stand the person that allowed you to rest easy?"
Parker snorted. "That was Harry Potter. Not Severus Snape."
Flitwick twisted his wand just a bit, opening the doors. Grayland was ready to cast a shield spell just in case Parker took Flitwick's movements as a threat.
Sprout tapped her wand against her arm. "It was both. If Severus didn't tell Potter the information he needed, then Potter wouldn't have succeeded. Didn't you listen to the boy when he cleared Severus' name."
The group of teachers pushed forward, closing the distance between them and Parker. Parker backed up, moving towards the door.
Parker snorted. "Potter was put up to it. Some how Snape has something to hold over his head, and so Potter had to defend him."
Lucius smirked. "Several life debts."
Severus glanced over at Lucius. "Those were payed the moment the Dark Lord died."
It was Vector that answered Parker. "Severus and Potter never got along. If he had something over Potter's head, then Potter would have acted differently around him. Instead they butted heads all the time. It was common fodder for staffroom conversations while Potter was at school. Last year was the exception. Personally, I think they both decided to call a truce for Potter's last year."
The teachers edged Parker closer to the door.
Lucius glanced at Severus. "Did you two call a truce?"
Severus shook his head. "Didn't need to. He finally showed me respect."
Lucius fought against the bark of laughter that was trying to escape.
Parker glared over at Grayland. "Why are you backing him? You were a student of his. You know just how biased and horrible he was. You're a Hufflepuff, not a Slytherin."
Grayland raised an eyebrow. "You are right, I was his student. I was fortunate to be one. It helped me throughout my career choice. I think you forgot how influential he would be in that. Oh, and you just had to look beyond the front he presented to the world." Grayland looked at the door and then back at the ex-professor. "I think you should just accept defeat and leave. There is nothing that you can say here that will influence us to change our minds. Take your grievances somewhere and let them be heard. Or better yet, just keep them to yourself."
Parker stood up straight and glared at the others. "Then I shall take my story to the Prophet. This will not be the last time you hear from me." Spinning on his heel he headed out the door.
With the flick of his wand, Severus closed the door. He waited at the top of the stairs until the wards told him that Parker was gone.

By: Frida Mar (Arts & Culture Co-editor)
Last October I decided to undergo a Vow of Singlehood and Voluntary Celibacy for a full year. I created my own rules: I wouldn't date or have sex with anyone, and I wouldn't use dating apps. But I'd still allow myself to mingle with strangers at clubs and parties because I loved dancing. Put simply, I decided to be intentionally single for a whole twelve months of my university life.
Since a Biker Boy broke my heart in the beginning of first semester, I've had to confront my own crippling fear of loneliness. At around the same time, I was going through emotional dysregulation and anxiety. And something terrible had burrowed itself in my heart, after a meaningless string of hookups and after a slew of unsuccessful romantic relationships. Needless to say, I felt like shit. In the fever haze of last fall, I remember crying so desperately in the shower because I felt an intense, never-ending wave of loneliness. I would have begged on my knees for anyone to love me. At the brink of desperation, I realized that my own sense of stability and comfort relied heavily on romantic and sexual relationships. I was a spited lover now, and I cursed the romantic novels, songs and shows I grew up with.
My decision to find stability and comfort within myself began by entering an extended state of singlehood and celibacy. I was inspired by Lorde's song "Liability" from her sophomore album Melodrama. She croons softly to herself in the first verse, "play at romance/ we slow dance," and I desired the same sweet nectar of self-love. At first, it was difficult to sleep without a loved one cuddling beside me. And I did break my voluntary celibacy once over November because I was tempted by the idea of casual sex. Temptation came in the form of a red icon in my instagram DMs, where one of my former crushes invited me over to his place. I thought he was a golden choice, but all we did was drink bubble tea, smoke weed and then finally take off our clothes on his unmade bed. I felt even lonelier when I left to go home, it was a disaster. That night, I was proven right that my vow of singlehood and celibacy was the healthiest choice for me. Over the last couple of months, I've learned that no one could ever possibly love me more than I love myself. True love is like winning the lottery and I know that I will meet people whom I am romantically compatible with in the future. But for now, I'm content with being by myself, loving myself and celebrating myself.
Don't get me wrong, I've always been a hopeless romantic. Romantic obsessions are my first language. Before my Vow of Singlehood and Voluntary Celibacy, I used to have twenty new crushes a day, freshly pining for strangers on the TTC or in my lecture halls. Even when my romantic obsessions were wearisome, I loved the purpose of it and how it added meaning to my life. Crushes were so exciting! I had new hyperfixations every day. Hookups were a dream come true until the lights went off, our clothes were strewn all over the bed and I left to go home, feeling more lonely than ever before. Why was I always at my loneliest when I was intimate with someone else?
The harsh reality of dating tore my romantic heart apart. My thumb cramped from swiping so much on different dating apps, the Tinder hearts and the Her messages firing like lightning bolts in my brain. It was a dangerous dopamine loop that made it difficult for me to break out of until I decided that enough was enough. I wasn't going to find true love through dating apps or clubs or parties. I needed to find true love within myself and to cultivate a healthy relationship with myself above all, because I'm all that I know and have. But where did my intense need for romance come from?
Mass media has instilled in me the value of male attention, underlying a dangerous dependence on men for most girls and femmes growing up. The movies and novels I consumed while growing up created a heteronormative illusion of "love at first sight". I realized I was always trying to capture the male gaze, in the way I painted my eyelids every morning before lectures, or gave a smile in conspiracy to the cute boys across the room. Even when I realized I wasn't straight in high school, there was still this weird curiosity I had towards a relationship with a male partner. Romance was everything the clouds in my dreams were made of. In consequence, I was lured by the glimmers of happiness that men offered, and I had difficulty in finding that happiness for myself.
In reality, a healthy romance is not ego-centric. Love and romance involve a great deal of compassion, patience and putting your partner's needs above your own. Back then, romance and dating gave me validation because I was insecure and I didn't love myself enough. Through toil and trouble, I've learned that I am enough by myself. I don't need romance to give meaning to my life anymore. My subjective experience is what's most meaningful to me and romance doesn't have to be a part of who I am. I'll always be passionate and romantic but now I direct that tender energy towards my own spirit. I prioritize myself above all, by practicing self-compassion, unconditional love and positive regard for myself, as well as surrounding myself with people who love me. I also saw a therapist following all the trauma I went through in the past couple of years and she helped me learn healthy emotional regulation and positive thinking. Working on myself for an extended period of time has been one of the best decisions I've ever made.
For the remainder of my singlehood and celibacy, I'm focusing solely on healing myself. I have a plethora of personal, academic and work goals in the new Growth and Self-Love folder I created on my desktop. I already exercise four times a week, stay hydrated, sustain an anti-inflammatory diet, try to practice daily mindfulness and maintain an average GPA. I love burning incense in my room as a night ritual and doodling when I have the time. I make sure to spend quality time with my friends and family to cope with my loneliness.
A year of being single is not for everyone, but it can be a good exercise to take some time for yourself, establish autonomy, and self-awareness on your own. One of my friends was even inspired by my Voluntary Celibacy and she decided to work on her own personal issues before committing to sex again with her girlfriend. Over the last couple of months of my Vows, I've learned that I am a worthy person, regardless of my singledom. Sure, it still hurts when I see my exes with their new partners, but I'm already leading a good life with my friends and with myself. Singleness is not unattractive and aloneness is not unsuccessful. I love dancing by myself in my room. I love the smell of my skin after a workout. I love the way I laugh at stupid jokes about ear sex with my friends in Cat's Eye. And now, I don't worry so much about being alone forever. Happy Valentine's Day!

I've nursed a bit of a mom-prejudice.
I got married at twenty one. Nobody stopped me from doing such a wreckless, ill-advised thing because I have an iron will, and I was raised Mennonite. But the thing a lot of people took issue with was the decision my partner and I made not to have children. You can only hear so many aunts tell you, "You'll change your mind when you're older," or sit through so many conversations about the colour and consistency of the shit belonging to a tiny human you did not give birth to, or see the disappointed eyes of complete strangers after you give them the answer they didn't want to hear to a question they shouldn't have asked anyway. I used to dream up complex answers about a bomb going off in my uterus.
Two things pulled me out of that prejudice. I'm not going to pretend I'm over it entirely; the language and tone of the paragraph you just read gives me away anyway, but I'm coming around. The first thing was aging nine years and realizing I could stop defining myself against other people. The second was reading the perspectives of moms like Andrea Mclaren. Andrea's been posting images and words about her daughter Willa to Instagram for more than four years now, and the way she depicts her daughter and her experience of motherhood lets me glimpse a realm I had never considered before. On June 17th, Willa pops up on my Instagram feed standing among rocks, water, and brush, holding a pair of daisies in front of her eyes. Below, Andrea writes,
Months later those words still reduce me to tears. And I see what children can offer — a fresh perspective, a kind of return to the optimism of childhood, a sense of wonder. And while I know to the pit of my ovaries that motherhood is still not for me, I can appreciate that it's the right choice for many people. More important is understanding that I can engage in meaningful conversations with mothers that go beyond diaper horror stories.
Andrea and I had one of those conversations a few weeks back while she worked on some embroidery, and I sat on her couch sipping water and fending off the friendly advances of her cat. We talked about motherhood, her work as an embroidery and cross-stitch artist, social media and mental health, because, believe me, they're all connected.
FULL: I know you work as a caretaker for this building, that you run your Instagram feed about motherhood, and that you stitch. What are all the jobs you're cobbling together at this point?
Andrea Mclaren: I do the mom thing. That often is work, as well as sometimes not being work. And then the care-taking here. I do prep cooking when it suits, when I have time, and it lines up with other jobs.
The stitching I would say I do more as a hobby at this point. It's something more for my head than for making money. I still get a lot of people requesting orders, but I haven't been taking as many paid jobs. I did a bunch for a while there, and something about involving money in the process, it got a little out of balance.
FULL: I think taking something creative that you're doing as a hobby to relax and then turning it into something paid changes the way it feels.
AM: I was really hesitant when people started to ask about purchasing stuff, because I didn't intend to sell anything at the beginning. The conversation around what my work is worth scared the shit out of me and brought other things into my mind. Is it art? is it craft? and charging accordingly.
Money is a weird thing that I don't think about much beyond surviving. It made it more negative for me than positive, so I stepped away from doing that a bit. It's been nice this summer. I've gotten back to just doing it because I want to do it.
FULL: Have you grown up with stitching? Was it passed down to you?
AM: I did a little bit of it when I was around ten or eleven. I really loved embroidery thread, making bracelets. I got into hooking rugs with a kit that I got as a gift, but that was pretty short-lived.
I returned to it around 2012 explicitly as a way to keep my hands busy and stay off my phone. It was one hundred percent wanting to do something else with my hands. I started cross-stitching. It was monotonous in a really good way. At that point, I was pretty new with my phone and it had that initial really strong clutch on me — stitching helped release that a bit. Then I started enjoying it more, the creativity. And other people started to notice. I switched from cross-stitching to embroidery inspired by making something for a friend. In the process, my dad told me about my late grandma, who was a very talented embroidery artist, but in my relationship with her when she was alive, she didn't really embroider anymore. I hadn't known that about her. My aunts dug up some of her old pieces. Any natural ability that I have, it totally comes from her I believe. Our embroidery work is very similar. So it was passed down kind of unintentionally or inadvertently.
FULL: When I was younger, I spent a lot of time cross-stitching and making bracelets too, but that was pre-internet for me.
AM: Oh, for sure.
FULL: But once the internet became part of my life, that ended up taking a lot of time. When you're a kid particularly, there's so many hours you have to fill with doing things. Those hours can so easily be swallowed by technology. That can have its positive qualities and well as some real negative drawbacks. What were the things, for you, that made you want to spend less time on your phone?
AM: Feeling like my heart and mind were turning to mush. I really love learning new things and thinking about new ideas — being challenged mentally and emotionally. I think my life really reflects that. I'm totally up for learning new things, meeting new people, pushing the boundaries of my head and my heart. But picking up my phone, opening apps without thinking about it, just all that sort of repetitive behaviour, it definitely did a number on my ability to connect as easily. I don't know how to describe it, but all those things that would spark in my brain about new ideas or new experiences, that spark started to really diminish. When I let my phone be a really repetitive thing in my day, and then I step away from that, it feels like I'm missing out on things because I'm not going to see what people post. But if I take a few days away, which I often do now, I realize that it doesn't matter at all. There's so much good stuff out there, and I'm a big proponent of the good of the internet. I have lots of online friends I've never met that influence my life in a really positive way, but overall it just took away from the things I like about being a human in a tangible world. I think that's what I like about working with things with texture that I touch all the time. It just seems like a real antidote to that. I like finding that balance. I still love being on my phone, and I don't demonize it too much, but I have to keep it in balance.
FULL: Phones and the internet can definitely take over your leisure time. You just compulsively pick it up without thinking about it. I sometimes get frustrated with myself, because I think it's really important to not work, but then I want to be mindful about my not working. I want to really enjoy it.
AM: Totally. Now, after a long day of whatever the case may be, I'm going to sit and look at my phone for however long with a beer and it's great, it's awesome. I catch up with people, get inspired. there's so many positives. I don't want to say it's this awful thing. My kid won't ever know what it was like before we didn't always have a computer in our hands. We're the ones who do have to figure out the balance and how to handle the things that come with it. I think it's important to set an example.
It all brings it back to being mindful. "I'm going to go into that space now, I'm going to go do that thing." Especially if you're a very sensitive person, like me, because you are opening yourself up to lots of opinions, other lifestyles, people who are going to have more than you or less than you. I think we need to be mindful and own the place social media has. I hate it when people go, "Oh, it's just social media." Like they think it shouldn't hurt your feelings if somebody unfollows you or unfriends you. I've heard so many people over the past few years be embarrassed or ashamed that it hurts their feelings. But if it hurt your feelings, let it hurt your feelings. Maybe we should talk about it more. It is a real thing, and we're the first generation of people trying to figure it out. It's important to step away from social media and process it. I find that doing something like embroidery, as opposed to reading or watching tv, I can think about and process thoughts while still being present with something, not being totally swept away. Sometimes I need something to help me stay grounded while I'm processing.
I love the linear, straightforwardness of cross-stitch a lot. You're working with mostly straight lines in different ways. It's refreshing in its monotony. I think there's tons of room for creativity with colour and shape. It's a way of getting things in my brain out of my brain.
Embroidery is much more loosey-goosey, I usually draw something collaborative with somebody that's commissioned it. I tend to cross-stitch more in the winter and embroider more in the summer. That seems to be, for me, a reflection. I don't deal super well in the summer, I'm definitely a winter person. I sometimes feel quite off-kilter in the summer, and I feel like that's reflected in the loose embroidery. In the winter, I'm much more focused, much more comfortable, and things are more straightforward.
FULL: Why it is that you feel more comfortable in the winter as opposed to the summer?
AM: I don't like the expectations that I put on myself in the summer. I interpret a lot of summer things as just pressure to do, instead of just being. I don't know if that's an exterior pressure, or if it's totally in my head.
FULL: Especially on social media, you see people out at the lake or going to a festival, and because we spend so much time inside during the winter, there's this expectation that you're supposed to be out, you're supposed to be doing things.
AM: And the number of times people ask me, "What are you doing this weekend?" It's like "Shut up! I'm not doing anything. Why do you even care?" I get very annoyed at those expectations.
And going outside, living in Winnipeg, it's so small, and because I've lived here my whole life, I'm fairly connected to people. Sometimes it's really great to go out and bump into people you know, and
FULL: sometimes you wish you could just be more anonymous?
AM: In the winter that feels much more possible. I love being outside. But as an introverted person in the summer, I feel oppressed by the heat, the noise, and feeling like a lot of the places I want to go, I'll have to interact with people. It will always end up being fine and good, but sometimes I just benefit from being outside, having a long winter walk and not seeing anyone. I end up leaving the city a lot in the summer — probably just perpetuating that thing about people being out and doing things.
FULL: On Instagram, you post quite a lot about your daughter, and I know a lot of people look to that and find it inspiring and interesting, your thoughts as well as your images of her. I'm curious about some of your choices around posting about her and your experience as a mom.
AM: Initially, family members expressed concern about how much I share of Willa on Instagram. I joined Instagram when Willa was one-and-a-half or two, and it was during the separation of my marriage. I was burnt by being on Facebook, but I was very desperate at that time for connection. I was feeling unbelievably isolated going through a really brutal depression. I connected with a bunch of moms pretty much right away. They were strangers that lived in Europe and the States. Sharing images of Willa to my thirty followers at the time, I didn't think about it that much, it just felt like sharing the mom experiences I was having a hard time with and making something good out of them.
As my following grew, there have definitely been points in time where I would stop and go, "How do I move forward from here?" As Willa became older and more aware of me taking pictures of her, it became clear, because of her personality, that I had to start asking her if I could take her picture. That happened when she was around two-and-a-half. Now, I always ask her before posting. When she was three or four years old, she didn't really understand Instagram or know what it was. But there was a conversation I wanted to establish with her from the get-go that she would understand more as she got older.
I was really glad that we had some amount of communication about it, because as my following grew, people would recognize her before they would recognize me. We would be out at a coffee shop, and total strangers would recognize her. That stopped me in my tracks and made me think about what I was doing.
The vanity piece is something I ask myself about. How much of positing to Instagram is wanting to be seen? I don't necessarily need to be validated, mostly I just want my isolated experience of raising my one child to be seen: disagreed with even or challenged is fine too. I just want to be visible sometimes.
FULL: I think it's important to make space for different kinds of experiences. And putting your experience of motherhood on Instagram can offer something to people who have similar experiences, but felt alone in them. Or maybe they haven't been able to puzzle it out and articulate all the pieces of some aspect and you can start them on that.
AM: I feel safe expressing my wonderings about what it's all for, motherhood, being a kid, working, life in general. It's big stuff. People will give me a hard time sometimes about the topics that I'll bring to silly Instagram, but the thing you can't ignore is that I get a lot of feedback and conversation via direct messaging and comments, which is what I'm after. I don't know why it doesn't happen as much in our day-to-day life. It happens with care-taking this building all the time. I have small talk that turns a little heavier, and I'm always open to it. I find that it's nice to have a place where I can post a picture and some words and interact in a way that's a little more comfortable and convenient.
FULL: With cross-stitch and embroidery, you talked a little bit about the line between art and craft. Something I think about is how activities that are more characteristically feminine get associated with craft versus art, and I'm wondering if that's something you've thought about with the line between art and craft.
AM: It's history. Scott and I were reading Willa the Berenstain Bears, and Mama is embroidering, or Downton Abbey, the women will be sitting and embroidering. I don't identify as that stereotypical female, but then I'm sitting here doing the thing that's portrayed as so female.
The stuff that I make, and I think a lot of needlepoint artists make now, is still decorative, but it's also very expressive. We can take any sort of art medium — weaving and other textile arts — away from the domestic, but then I feel like there's some kind of contradiction lying there. As much as I don't ascribe to that identity, I very much am a domestic person. I prioritize motherhood right at the top. But I do it in my own way, which is how I approach this stuff too. Taking all the traditions, taking all the history, and then just doing it my way: same with motherhood, same with marriage, same with most of my interactions. Taking traditional things and pulling and pushing them and taking them out of their convention, that's something I'm really comfortable with. Come hell or high water, all of the things in my life seem to get reworked in that way.
FULL: That's something I've played with a lot. I'm a woman and a feminist, but also, I really love to clean and be in my home. And that doesn't have to be a bad thing. I don't have to act "like a man" and disavow anything feminine to be a feminist. That can become it's own kind of misogyny.
AM: That's something in my early thirties I really sat and wrestled with quite a bit. I like wearing tight clothes, or make up sometimes, and feeling that whole "bad feminist" thing. But then realizing the whole point is that you just get to be exactly what you want to be, and you get to do it for yourself. Recognizing what point of dressing myself, what point of my activity in a day is influenced by culture, and how much of that is just totally because I want to do that. That's kind of what it's come down to for me.
FULL: And I don't think you can ever totally pull yourself out of cultural influences, but I think I lot about default settings. I don't want to do something just as a default, I want to have tried it another way and see what actually works for me.
It sounds like you've been able to take cross-stitch and embroidery and use them as a vehicle for not only artistic expression, but as a tool to connect.
AM: And the whole piece of why I started doing it, getting off my phone, helping out with my depression and connecting with people, the collaboration part has been hugely important. Like I said, I like to get to those deeper conversations, and paid work has led the way for lots of that. Especially with the lungs I was doing. They were inspired by a good friend who wrote a piece about remembering to breathe, and she really loves flowers or anything floral, so I thought I could do lungs with flowers in them, and she would really appreciate that. I sent it to her as a gift, and she loved it. Then I got a lot of commissions from people who had lung cancer, I did some for children that are dealing with lung issues, asthma, I did a piece that a wife ordered for her husband who's a lung specialist. It just comes back to connecting in a new and unexpected way. That's the point of everything for me.
FULL: What you're saying is something I really connect to through my experience with photographing people. It can be a vehicle for these really great conversations and learning other people's stories. But something I have to balance that with it realizing how emotionally draining it can be to have those experiences with people.
AM: I did this piece that was an anatomical heart with an owl and some specific foliage and flowers. It was for the mother of someone who had passed on. It was a heart-wrenching story, and I think it was a really beautiful healing process for her to talk through what would be in the piece. But it was so hard on my heart to stitch. Usually I'll stitch for an hour or so at a time, but I just couldn't with that one. The piece took so long. I don't know what it is about that transfer of energy. I thought a lot about the experience of that family and it was very draining, but very rewarding to finish and have it go into the hands it was intended for.

If you're setting off on a ski holiday, the chances are you will want to get some amazing pictures from the slopes.
Perhaps you're looking to capture your friends and family in action as they practise their new skills on the slopes, or would like some more artistic images of professional kickers up in the air.
However, on the pistes it can be tricky to get the best shots, whether it be due to many fast-moving skiers, unsightly background objects like ski lift masts, or simply because it is so bright.
However, with the right knowledge, you can still take some truly amazing pictures during your next ski trip, whether it be to Verbier, Le Chable or elsewhere. Here are our top tips for ski photography.
This may seem very obvious, but it's absolutely essential to ensure before moving on to get the perfect image. If your shots are not in focus there is little point following further steps to get different effects. Make sure that your camera is in focus before you take each shot, listening out for the small bleep it may make to indicate that it is ready to capture the image. Although a photo may look in focus on the small screen of your device, when viewed in full size on a computer screen it may be blurry. You definitely don't want all of your shots to turn out blurred, so ensure they are crisp and clear by always checking the focus.
One of the easiest mistakes to make in ski photography is simply being too far away from the subject. If the skier is a small figure in the frame there will be much less impact, so try to get as close as possible to them and discuss with them before they descend the slopes where they intend to ski so that you can position your shot so they fill it. Try not to zoom in too close as it is difficult to keep moving objects in frame. However, try to fill the shot as much with the figure as possible so that you can display the action and excitement the skier is experiencing to the full.
Mastering lighting is essential to producing clear, bright images with vibrant colours. With lots of white snow around, it can be easy to either over-expose and find the snowy areas are too white and 'blown out', or underexposed, grey and grainy. Try switching to manual exposure and ensure that for your chosen ISO, shots per second and aperture, your exposure dial is in the middle of the scale. Take some practise shots where you think the skier may descend and make changes until the whites are bright but not glaring, and the colours pop.
You may have heard photographers and enthusiasts talk about the 'rule of thirds'. This integral aspect of photography is the fundamental of composition that will allow you to take great pictures, all framed ideally. Simply imagine what you see through the camera has two vertical and two horizontal lines crossing it. All of the points where lines cross are where you should aim to position points of interest, such as the skier. This is more pleasant for the eye and will frame foreground and background items in an aesthetically pleasing manner.
When photographing your friends and family skiing, try your best to minimise distractions in the shot. Avoid catching glimpses of ski lifts, buildings or groups of people in the background as this will draw the eye away from the subject and their skills. Many of the best skiing shots simply feature the skier with a plain white background of snow and powder spray, or the edge of the piste and a crisp blue sky. However, images with mountain peaks in the background and other simple points of interest can also look striking.
If you really want to display the talent of your fellow skier when leaping through the skies or pulling of a particularly impressive run, then you will need a point of reference. Those viewing your images will not be able to gaze in awe at the heights the subject reached unless there is some point to show them just how high this was. Sometimes shots of skiers against a blue sky look great, but often it's best to get the kicker in the foreground and snow perhaps some nearby mountainside or even a tree, just to add some perspective.
In-action ski shots may be what you are striving to capture, but there are a number of other forms of photography you can try out in the mountains to document your whole luxury ski holiday experience. Perhaps try out a few candid shots of your family as they are trying out the slopes for the first time, creating special memories they will never forget. For an artistic challenge, try your hand at mountain landscape photography, studying the dramatic lines of the pistes against atmospheric skies. You could even branch into macro photography and capture some of the gorgeous Alpine flowers in Verbier and Le Chable's emerging meadows. And, of course, be sure to get lots of family snaps inside your Verbier accommodation or Le Chable to keep those precious memories alive of the indulgent evenings of fine dining, spa treatments and laughter around the open fire.

Texas hold'em is a poker variation that uses the player's two hole cards and five community cards to make a ranking poker hand. The community cards are placed on the poker table in this order: three cards at the "flop", one card at the "turn", and the last card at the "river". A round of betting goes down at each of these phases and at what's called the "pre-flop". The pre-flop is when the players' hole cards are dealt but before the community cards are revealed.
Community cards are so named because everybody else in the game can use them to supplement their hole cards to make the best hand combination. The sequence of showing the community cards and the interim betting in between adds anticipation to find out how a player's cards can potentially build up at showdown. The showdown is when remaining players compare hands to win the pot.
After the hole cards are dealt and the first round of betting ends, the flop has the most affect on the game. Three cards are shown facing up and more often than not, the supportive cards will come up then and not at the turn or at the river. This calls for the term, a "flopped hand", when the only improvement came from the flop.
The turn and the river, ordinarily but not always, have less impact on the game. Then again, when one has the potential of making a great hand (like a full house or a straight flush) with these last two community cards, that player's said to be "on the draw". This means that the player's just a card away from a high ranking poker hand and hopefully, it'll come up at the turn or the river.
Texas hold'em poker mechanics include dealing players two hole cards that are private to them and dealing five other community cards that everyone can see and use. The flop is when three of the five community cards are shown on the table. The turn is when the fourth card is shown and the river is when the fifth (and last) community card is revealed. When a player's hand improves at the flop and not on the last two phases, it's called a flopped hand. And when a player's a card away from a high poker hand after the first three community cards are shown, that player's on the draw. That means, the makings of that high poker hand depends on either the turn or the river.

I didn't read beyond a few chapters as the story didn't grab my interest. I guess the author was setting up a scene for the following events in the story, but I didn't have the patience to get involved in the family matters being described. The events I read about show that an aging grandmother, who lives just outside of Istanbul, has her grandchildren over for a summer visit. I enjoyed Barbara Nadel's books and I hoped I might find a similar story in Pamuk's writing.

Supervised Treatment under the Charter/
LM (Guardianship) [2008] VCAT 2084 (9 October 2008)
LM is a 25 year old woman with a borderline to mild intellectual disability and a history of psychological and behavioural problems dating back to her childhood.
In 2004 LM was placed on a two year community based order following various convictions. In 2007 LM was charged with a number of offences and was released on bail to Furlong House in Parkville. While resident at Furlong House LM had a number of incidents which included non-epileptic seizures on roads, walking into oncoming traffic, physical aggression towards other people, threatening self-harm or suicide, and assaulting staff at Furlong House. In February 2008 LM was convicted of a number of offences relating to these incidents.
Since February 2008 LM has been living at a residential service operated by the Department of Human Services. While living at the residential service LM has continued to display the behaviour pattern outlined above. LM's workers at the residential service found it was frequently necessary to lock the door of the house in order to stop LM from leaving. They were unable to control her behaviour by less restrictive means.
LM's Authorised Program Officer applied to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal on 25 January 2008 for a supervised treatment order ('STO') for LM pursuant to s 191 of the Disability Act 2006 (Vic).
The Tribunal found that LM satisfied all of the requirements of s 191(6) of the Disability Act and that detention at the residential service was necessary in order that she be treated in accordance with the STO.
Consideration of the Victorian Charter
The Tribunal of its own accord raised the issue of whether LM's rights under the Charter were limited by the Disability Act.
The Tribunal found that the Charter rights potentially affected by the STO were: s 8 (the right to recognition and equality before the law); s 12 (the right to freedom of movement); s 21 (the right to liberty and security of person); and s 26 (the right not to be tried or punished more than once).
The question facing the Tribunal was whether these limitations could be justified under s 7 of the Charter. Section 7 of the Charter recognises that human rights may be subject to limitations that are demonstrably justifiable in a free and democratic society.
Section 8 – Right to recognition and equality before the law
The Tribunal noted that the STO appeared to limit LM's rights under s 8 in that it discriminated against a person with an intellectual disability. Section 191(1) of the Act gives the Tribunal the power to detain a person with an intellectual disability who poses a significant risk of serious harm to others. There is no other legislation in Victoria which gives the State the right to detain a person who does not have an intellectual disability in the same situation.
Given LM's history and the risks that she posed to members of the public and herself, the Tribunal found that it was demonstrably justifiable that LM be detained subject to an STO.
The Tribunal also found that another justification was the protection of LM from the legal consequences of her actions. Because LM's history demonstrated that she had already been convicted of a number of serious offences it was necessary to detain her in order to protect her from the consequences of re-offending.
Section 12 – Right to freedom of movement
The Tribunal found that the same considerations which applied to s 8 also applied to this section so that the STO was justified to limit LM's freedom to choose where to live.
Section 21(3) – Deprivation of liberty
This section prohibits deprivation of liberty except on grounds and in accordance with procedures established by law. Because LM's detention under the STO was in compliance with the provisions of the Act the Tribunal found that the Charter right was not limited.
Section 26 – Right not to be tried or punished more than once
The section of the Act allowing the STO appeared to be incompatible with the Charter right against 'double jeopardy' given that LM had already been convicted of a number of offences and had been released on a good behaviour bond. The Tribunal found that this was not the case because one of the purposes of the STO was, as noted above, the protection of members of the public, as well as the protection of LM herself. In addition to this, the Tribunal found that the STO is a treatment regime, not a punishment.
This case raises issues in relation to the scope of human rights and the contradictions which will necessarily exist between statutory provisions such as s 191 of the Disability Act and the Charter. It is ultimately the case that decisions made under many of these provisions will be considered under the test for demonstrably justified and reasonable limits provided in s 7 of the Charter.

Big data and digital farm tools revolutionize agri-sector
CANADA IS THE WORLD'S FIFTH-LARGEST EXPORTER OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS and, based on high production standards and safeguards, has an enviable reputation as a safe and reliable supplier in the global market. With world demand for agricultural products growing steadily, Canada aims to increase its agri-food exports to at least $75-billion annually by 2025. And with consumers increasingly opting for quality over price, Canada is strongly positioned to capture a bigger share of the market.
Paul Thiel, vice president of product development and regulatory science, Bayer CropScience, says Canada's international reputation in agriculture is based largely on the country's food chain system that ensures the highest quality and safety of food production.
"The system is led by our farmers who demonstrate excellent management practices, attention to quality, and the stewardship of crop protection and input product use," he says. "We also maintain oversight from one of the world's top science-based and reputable regulatory agencies – Health Canada."
Mr. Thiel points out that Canadian farmers are also early adopters of innovative agricultural practices that not only help produce more food and improve efficiencies, but also improve the sustainability of their operation, their land and the environment.
"For example, canola, the healthiest profile of any vegetable oil, was invented in Canada, and we pioneered the practice of reduced tillage, which limits disruption of the soil and has been adopted in many other parts of the world and reduced the footprint of farming while improving soil health and minimizing erosion," he says.
Canadian researchers also played a key role in mapping the wheat genome, which provides further insight for breeders to develop the next generation of superior wheat varieties adapted to environmental and consumer needs, and are advancing the development of pulse crops, especially lentils, which has made Canada a leading supplier of lentils in the world market.
Mr. Thiel says the next revolution in agriculture – the use of big data and sophisticated digital farming tools – is now underway.
He adds that platforms such as Climate FieldView, a leader in this space, utilizes farming equipment, sensors and imagery to give farmers powerful knowledge to make better decisions. This allows them to be even more efficient and sustainable well into the future.
However, Mr. Thiel cautions that while technology advances provide many new opportunities for the agricultural sector, there are also challenges ahead.
"It will be challenging for regulators to keep up with the pace of advancements in science and technology," he says. "We also need to ensure that farmers are able to keep up with the growing amount of information coming their way and the training that is expected of them, and we need to ensure that our products can get to critical markets."
At a recent event, Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development, said digital innovation and technologies have the power to improve food safety, reduce the environmental impacts of agriculture and food production, and create good middle-class jobs.
"Our government is taking action to ensure our agriculture and agri-food sectors continue to punch above their weight in a competitive global market while delivering good, healthy and sustainable food to Canadians and international markets at a fair price."

Featuring mycology lessons, essays, and mushroom photographs and descriptions by Dianna Smith and a series of mycology articles by Bill Bakaitis
Lacttifluus corrugis has a reddish-brown wrinked, corrugated cap. Its gills are initially a warm buff, but turn orange to brownish with maturity. Like Lactifluus volemus, it produces copious white latex which discolors the gills brownish. The latex is mild to taste. This mushroom emits a fish-like odor when old. It can be found under deciduous trees. It is considered by many to be a choice edible.
Lactifluus corrugis (Lactarius corrugis)

Our Latest Projects
I have been DYING to work plumber's pipe into my designs. This bookcase features Douglas Fir, finished with polyurethane. Using polyurethane has many benefits, among being extremely durable, one is that it can fill in slight low spots in the wood. This allows me to keep some of the saw-marks, giving the allusion of being rough-cut, while still feeling smooth to the touch. I used this technique on the middle shelves to add contrast with the smooth top slab. $800
It isn't every day that I get a project that doesn't have a very specific plan. The farm wanted an accent wall for the office, and I was just the person to make one. These maple boards were from logs my dad and I cut a year ago. They feature the unique shapes and texture that comes with having so much of the live edge. Stained dark and then screwed into some uprights, this is the first thing that visitors to the farm will encounter when they enter the office. Oh, and the counter top in front is also not too shabby!
Past Stories
Last summer I completed the largest order that I have ever received. Port Blakely wanted to update the furniture in their Seattle headquarters and asked me to build them a 13 foot conference table, a meeting table, a kitchen table, and a desk for their CEO. It took some ingenuity and a TON of tools, but we got it done - I have never been so proud of my dad and I. Check out the slideshow below to read the story of how we did it
The day after winter final exams, I made the journey home and immediately went to work with my dad. Wilcox Farms had ordered 5 separate items from us and I was only home for two weeks so we had no time to lose! The conference table and the lunchroom table were by far the biggest and most challenging projects we have ever attempted. However, with our new workshop, we had plenty of space to work. With 3 generations of our family helping out and some new tools, we were able to deliver some of our best products to the farm. Check out the slideshow below to see how we did it, and to see some of our final products!
Our first customer was a friend who wanted to build a square family picnic table our of Cedar. Of course, we were more than happy to join him in working on his project. Obtaining and milling the Cedar was quite an adventure, and the pictures below tell the story of how we did it.
One of our best sellers has been live edge coffee tables. It is a simple piece of furniture, but there is beauty in simple things. The table tops we coat in either a clear floor stain or we pour epoxy over it. For legs, we use old fence posts that we salvaged from the farm. There is history in this wood. I like to think that every table I sell to someone is like sharing a piece of the farm with them. Below, there are a few pictures of the table-making process.
