Issue: People's behavior is largely determined by forces not of their own making.
So this is a question which has been kept me wondering for long. Why do we behave so? Why is a person rude when he is in a bad mood and why is he not when he is happy? Is it a force? If so, is it an external force or an internal one? Is it true that people's behavior is largely determined by forces not of their own making? And if it is so, why is it so? Who is controlling us if it is not us? I agree on the onset that this is a very stupid question, but nonetheless I am going to spend some time pondering over it and you are welcome to join me in doing so.
I am no psychology student, so perhaps my analysis is going to be very rough and sketchy, and it might be totally wrong, so if anyone out here, who is perhaps reading this, has a radically different opinion, I would request you to do share it in the comments section, and make this post a fruitful one. So let's get down to the main story. A friend of mine asked me whether or not I agree to this motion. And I said, well, no. Or maybe partially yes, but definitely not a complete one. I do not completely agree with the motion that people behave depending on forces not of their own making. Believing in such a principle indicates that you have given up your power to decide how you should behave to somebody else, or something else. Who then do you think is responsible for the way you behave? And I have reason to refute it because I know a set of my friends who are so indifferent, that they do not really care what the others think or say or do or whatever. Clearly, there is no force acting upon them which causes them to react or behave differently. So maybe it is a weak motion in fact.
You can always choose to be happy or sad. Your mood and your behavior is your choice. Let me give you an example. If you are constantly upset over something, maybe you should realize it is time you moved on and let that factor be as it is. You cannot, at any time, let something affect you so much that it can start to control your behavior. If it does, it only means that you are not strong enough, and that it is high time you stop and think for yourself why you are doing what you are doing and how it is affecting you. I have so many short anecdotes in my mind, so many real experiences that I want to share with you right now, but I do not want to extend this post for more than long, lest you get bored and run away.
However, I do not completely disagree with the motion. Maybe after all there are some forces which are not of our making which can affect our behaviour. I could place an argument like this. If someone is affected by an earthquake and is upset, then well one can say that this behavior is due to a force which is not of his own making. Similarly, sometimes the atmosphere around you itself stinks of a sadness or an anger due to deeds committed by someone else or by a factor over which one might have absolutely zero control. In such cases, it is important for us to stay aloof of our surroundings and keep ourselves calm and composed. Because at the end of the day, your behaviour is going to affect you, and make you a better or a worse person, irrespective of the people around you, irrespective of the surroundings you are in, and irrespective of who you care for or who cares for you. Therefore, take a back seat, and chill. Think before you act. Behave as if you want to, not as others want to, because it is your life and you have the right to lead it as you want to, not as the others want.

I hope ShitD won't say anything cause then they're last group of fans will think they don't care about them, which they don't really. But, if ShitD does say something about it that it'll be good too, let's see ho great their acting skills are.
I hope this is NOT staged.

Finding yourself in the middle of a financial crisis can feel like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders. Getting yourself up out of that financial pit is possible and you have to be dedicated to doing it.
The first step to getting out of your financial pit is to sit down and make a list of all your bills. Figure out how much you owe on a monthly basis. Budget all of the money out and how much you will need per month. Once you have figured out how much you need per month, look at the due dates of your bills and see how much you need each week. If you see that you have 5 or 6 bills due the first week of the month and only 1 or 2 due the following week call your utilities or customer service and have the due dates of every month changed. By changing the due dates you spread out how much money you owe over the course of the entire month.
Think about how much money you are making. A great way to determine if your setting yourself up for frustration is to look at your weekly paycheck. The biggest bill most people have is their mortgage or rent each month. If your weekly paycheck equals or is higher than how much money you owe each month in rent or mortgage payments then you should be able to budget easier. This system allows you to have one weeks salary to go towards your biggest debt and the other three weeks to save and pay other expenses.
The third step you can take is to eliminate extra spending. This takes discipline on everyone's part living in the house. This means not giving into midnight cravings, stop having lunch out while working, doing your own nails, giving up that four dollar coffee, or living without some cable for a month or two. OH IT IS POSSIBLE to live without these things, even though some may protest. If you are serious though about helping yourself and your family get out of this financial crisis you need to stop being selfish and get with the program. Financial crisis is hurting many people right now, but you can change what you spend your money on and take steps towards financial freedom. There are times when you have to keep a tight reign on your money and every penny will count. This will not be forever but in order to get control of your finances you have to get in control of your life and spending habits.
Lastly, keep up with your current bills. If you get behind do not get discouraged, but refusing to pay off smaller bills will only get worse over time. A twenty dollar bill on your credit card can grow to two hundred in a few months if you let it go. Do not let things go when you get to this point in your life. This is a time when you need to stay proactive and keep on top of things. Throwing your bills under the table will not make them disappear, that is irresponsible and not smart. If you have to consolidate to give yourself more reasonable payments than do so, there are many great companies that can help you have one reasonable payment for a few years. Consolidating will help you also with easier budgeting each month.

It's notoriously hard to find gifts for Dad, especially if he's a little geeky. The gifts you can afford (gift cards, socks…) seem too impersonal, but you can't shell out the cash for the things you know he'll love, either. What can you do?
Don't fret! We've got some ideas for you. Whether it's for his birthday, Christmas, Father's Day or just because, here are some awesome geeky gifts that Dad will absolutely love.
Noise-Cancelling Headphones
Work requires intense focus and concentration. Help Dad get in the zone with a pair of awesome noise-cancelling headphones. Perfect for filling the ears with music, or to discourage co-workers from unnecessary interruptions. Your father will surely thank you for the increase in his productivity!
Portable Whiteboard
If your Dad finds himself frequently needing to jot things down, or he's in a meeting where he needs to brainstorm a complicated function, then the scramble to find pencil and paper could cost him precious time. And jotting it down on his phone screen won't make it easily visible by everyone else! Help him get his thoughts together with his own portable dry-erase whiteboard. Sketching programs has never been easier!
T-Shirt or Hoodie
Geeky Dads love to show off their hobbies. Nerd tees and hoodies are an essential part of their personality. If you're looking for a gift that Dad will love, then give him something he can use to express his love, too.
Is your Dad an outstanding Python developer? Then why not surprise him with a Pythonic T-shirt or hoodie? Feel free to check out our line of Python apparel. These Pythonic designs could be just what Dad needs to show off his awesome programming skills.
Nerdy Tie
For the Dads who have to look professional but can't help squeezing in a little bit of pizzazz. A tie is the perfect way to introduce a subtle twinge of personality into what can quickly become a routine look. Help your Dad stand out with these circuit board ties, available on Etsy.
Geeky Books
There's a whole other subculture out there for geeks who love to read. Is your Dad one of them? Then a nerdy book could be just the right gift for him!
If he's looking to go deeper into programming, then find a book that will help him accomplish that goal. Python Tricks, for example, would be a great resource for any Dad looking to skyrocket his Python skills. Want to geek it up with your old man? Then get a copy of Geek Dad and nerd out together! You're sure to create a lifetime of fun memories. And who knows, you may turn into a geeky parent yourself someday.
Coffee/Tea Mug
There's nothing like a fresh pot of coffee to wake you up in the morning, or a warm cup of tea to relax you before bed. Even geeky Dads like to indulge in these simple pleasures. But that doesn't mean he has to do it like everyone else!
Help him channel his inner nerd by extending the geekery to even these small moments. Our line of geeky mugs are sure to put a smile on his face.
Electronics Cleanser
Dads can be very particular about their toys, as they should be: if you want your prized possessions to last a long while, then you'd better take good care of them! Help Dad out by providing him with the items he'll need to keep his electronics spick and span. These cleansers are exactly what he needs to get the job done.
Laptop Stickers
Laptop stickers are a strange facet of geek culture. Who would guess that grown men and women would love to pepper their valuables with sticky advertisements? But stickering your laptop is a fun pastime that many in the tech industry love to partake in.
If your Dad loves Python, then help him express that love with a sticker! Here at Nerdlettering, we have dozens of designs for you to choose from, so go check them out!

For the complete trip, check out Dublin ->Paris -> Athens -> Rhodes -> Santorini -> Rome -> Dublin return!
We took an overnight flight from Paris to Athens taking off at 9 PM and landing at 2 AM. When we walked to our seats, I saw that I'd be sitting in the middle between my friend, Sarah and a man in his mid-40's. He was extremely friendly from the moment he saw me; too friendly we would find out. We sat down and Sarah and I began flipping through the flight magazines. He immediately started leaning towards me and was looking at my magazine along with me. Then, he started pointing out all the girls, commenting on how hot they were hot and asking me what I thought of them. I just told him they were girls, I didn't think anything of them. He spoke broken english struggling to force a conversation with me. It was too awkward, so to his dismay, I decided to go to sleep. I put my hood on my head, sunglasses on and headphones in my ears and turned towards Sarah. Soon I was asleep, but Sarah woke me up for dinner (at midnight).
When I woke up, she told me that the man had leaned against the window and just stared at her and I almost the entire time, while she was awake listening to music. We were freaked out and wanted to avoid him, so we decided to listen to music as we ate. She put one of her earbuds in my ear and when the guy saw this, he apparently thought that meant he could put one of his my ear, too. Wondering what he could possibly have been thinking, I yanked it out and politely told him no. He then offered me his food and I said no again. Then, he offered me his leg room and again I said no. It was getting hard to be polite at this point. I went to bathroom for a break from him and slightly because I needed to. I came back to a more frightened Sarah telling me that he had patted my seat and told her to move over into it so they could talk to which she obviously said no, repeatedly.
So, I sat down to him staring at me wanting to talk. I just looked forward and went to put on headphones and sleep again. He asked me not to (at like 12:45 AM) but I politely said no, it was late yet again and tried to feign sleep. I then felt poking on my legs and opened my eyes to see him poking my legs. I told him to stop almost laughing trying to play it off as the plane was full and I had nowhere to move to, although I should have screamed at him.
I then pretended to fall back asleep and "slept" until the stewardess said we were landing and forced me up. He was beaming when I "woke up". He tried to talk yet again and asked me where we were staying in Athens. I was more than annoyed and disturbed by this guy by this point. I just told him a hotel. He then asked how long and I simply replied just a few days. Next came the final straw. He asked me if I wanted to share a hotel room. That was it, absolutely no more. There was no need to be polite once that line was crossed and I had already been too polite. I flatly told him no, turned away to ignore him for the remainder of the landing. I turned my back to him facing Sarah and simply said "Mi scusi!" and she yelled "YES!" If you don't get it, there's a creepy character from the movie Eurotrip and this guy was definitely his brother (watch the clip in the link).
We just made jokes about him the rest of the flight while he attempted to get my attention every 5 minutes. When we landed, we bolted off the plane and tried to hide at baggage claim. We were staying the airport until 7 AM, then would leave to go exploring. It was was pointless to get a hotel room for the night when arriving at 3 AM. So we were just going to sleep for a few hours, drop our bags off at our hotel at 8 AM and go exploring. So, once we got our bags, we made sure he had left and slinked away to a corner of the airport to sleep.
After airport workers waking us up at 6 AM for disturbing the crowds, while we were in the corner where there was no one near us, Sarah was mad and ready to leave.
We changed and left on the bus for Syntagma Square. Our hotel was about a mile from the square so we needed a taxi. Syntagma was full of protestors camped out for weeks and signs everywhere. We tried to hail a taxi, but none were around. We found out the hard way that taxis had been strike for the past 2 weeks. We trudged a mile to the hotel, which was right next to the acropolis.
So, that was our first stop. I've went there the year before, so it was revisiting a place I love and showing Sarah around it for the first time. I'm also a Classical Civilizations major and so I got to be a nerd.
Heading up the south slope of the acropolis, we first saw the Theater of Dionysus, the first theater known of as well as the first amphitheater. This is the site where famous plays from Euripides, Sophocles, Homer and other renowned playwrights of ancient Greece premiered.
Following the trail up, we passed the ruins of many key buildings of ancient Rome such as the Odeon of Perikles, the Asklepeion and others, finally coming to the Odeon of Herodes Atticus.
Then we walked up lots of steps finally leading to the acropolis. The final step are all marble leading to the top of the Parthenon. It's completely slick and worn in some spots, but had definitely held up well over the years.
Then we came to the Parthenon and the Erechtheum at the top of the Parthenon.
The Erechtheum is a temple near the acropolis. It was burnt in the last Persian War in 480 BC when the Persians led by Xerses took the city and burnt all important buildings (this was also the war where the Persians later fought the Spartans at Thermopylae).
We then saw the Parthenon and the remains of Christian churches on top of the acropolis. The Parthenon is much bigger than you could imagine.
The views from the top of the acropolis are incredible from all sides.
We then headed to the Aeropagus, which was like the supreme court of Athens. It's also where the apostle Paul preached to the Athenians of the Unknown God which they worshipped for the first time and his sermon is now posted on the Aeropagus.
Next, we headed down the hill further to the agora, which was the center of all life in ancient Greek. It's where temples, schools, markets, gymnasiums and everything that was communally Greek existed. I imagine Plato, Socrates, and more walking around it. The Stoa of Attalos has been restored.
The Church of the Apostles was the first significant Byzantine church in Athens and one of the two intact buildings in the agora.
The second remaining building (and oldest) is the Temple of Hephaestus. It's also severely burnt from the last Persian War, but still remaining.
After our first gyros at the plaka, we moved onto Hadrian's Library.
Near Hadrian's Library is the Roman agora. All of these were the center of Athenian and all of Greek life in the later centuries once Rome became the most powerful civilization. I retraced all of my steps from the year before and I loved it, it was like coming home. We then wandered the streets devoid of a grid around the acropolis stumbling on Adrianou Street, a street lined with shops and tavernas.
We meandered through the winding street until we reached the Panathenaic Stadium. It was a revisit for me again, but I love seeing the huge stadium. It's new but was built in the exact location of the original stadium.
You can see the city planning of the Greeks as you have a perfect view of the acropolis from stadium.
Right down the street from the stadium the Temple of Zeus. It's still huge to this day. It took over 600 years for it to finally be completed and was the largest temple in Greece for about a century.
We then walked through the Arch of Hadrian to our hotel and crashed after not having really slept and walking a few miles in the past 2 days.
The next day, we actually woke up comfortably in separate beds, with air conditioning in a quiet and dark room where we could take the elevator down to the lobby where there was a genuine breakfast. We had forgotten what it was like to have things like these.
Once we felt human again, we wanted to find gyros that we had stumbled upon the day before somewhere along Adrianou Street.We spent a few hours browsing shops and hoping to find the right corner for the best gyros. We finally found them after going through countless alleys and a few circles. Then, we moved towards the center of Athens again.
We had seen lots of communist and anarchist graffiti all over the city, but now we started to see some remnants of violence. We walked by men cleaning up shattered glass of their store window and riot police slowly began stationing on the corners. We weren't sure what was going on, but we knew it wasn't good. We would be leaving in a few hours, though, so we let it go.
We moved over to the Zappeion. It's a beautiful building with huge steps overlooking gardens and it sits right below the Athens National Gardens.
So, we moved through them. Stopping at gazebos, poor attempts at ponds and a mini zoo. We even made a dog friend. Sarah and I finally found a place we could lay down in the garden, which we loved (after not being able to touch the grass in most gardens in Paris).
As we were relaxing talking about the beaches to come, I began hearing noises. Most tourists wouldn't know this, but the Parliament, where you have seen riots in Athens over the fiscal crisis in Syntagma Square (where the protesters were camping) is right in front of Athens National Gardens. Then we knew it. A protest was starting which might turn into a riot later. We decided we should get going before things escalated and we might not be able to make our flight. We walked back to our hotel as cops became more prolific and shouts grew louder. We checked out and began the one mile uphill trek back to Syntagma Square, where the protests were. It was easy to walk back due to streets being closed left and right.
We finally reach the square, but busses weren't reaching the square, so we had to take the metro.
Thanking God that we dodged what was sure to turn violent, we were happy to make it to the airport.
As we walked to get food, I ran into someone I've spent the last two summers with in Greece and realized we were on the same flight to Rhodes. So, after Sarah getting pulled aside for trying to get sunscreen through security (I've actually gotten it through before), we hung out with my friend and about 100 Greek boyscouts Greek dancing in the airport terminal for 45 minutes before boarding the flight to Rhodes.
Check out the stops I made in Dublin and Paris before Athens, too!

Kola Apple ScionwoodThis is a twig for grafting. Fall. Malus ioensis 'Elk River' x Oldenburg. NE Hansen intro, SD Ag Exp Stn, Brookings, SD, 1922.
Highly unusual apple and tree. Small 2" roundish green fruit with a long thin stem and an occasional small slightly orange-yellow blush. Aromatic pungent extremely oily glossy skin. Powerfully perfumy, even before sliced, reminiscent of wet wool, grapefruit pith, bourbon, caramel and hair salon. Not bitter, but sharp and astringent. Usable in sauce but fresh-eaters beware! It is beyond intense. Guaranteed to add a lightning bolt to the dullest cider. (1.045-1053 SG; 11.5-13.2 Brix) The foliage looks like a cross between an apple and a birch.
Kola is the Sioux word for 'friend.' Tetraploid. Highly resistant or immune to fireblight. Incredibly hardy. Scionwood made available through the generosity of Ann Warner and Stu Cohen. Z2?-6.

Graphic 45 Card
A quick card I made using Graphic 45's Botanicabella collection and some teal satin ribbon. I like the colour combination here. The olive and teal combi makes the card suitable for a guy even with the satin ribbon.
The diamond-shaped flower cut-out is matted on black cardstock and raised with 3D foam dots. I love a card with lots of bulk. :)
Materials used:
Graphic 45 Botanicabella collection: Antiquity, Botanical News, Garden Suite
Prima flower
Robin's Nest dew drops

Spent a good chunk of time at the VIllage Engraver in Milford, MI earlier today.
Just a few of the fruits of my time there are these beautiful new templates for the Aurora single-cut (yeah, new name I think I'm going to run with) and the short-scale, CT tribute.
In addition to these templates, I had pickup templates cut for the Ken Armstrong 4/5 string soapbars and 4- and 5-string versions of Nordstrand DC pickups.

Just a quick shout for all the South Yorkshire homebrew's out there… At the Audacious Art Space, Sheffield, there is a gig on featuring various members of the Trinity shambles. Chris Riley will be beating the bass for space-disco-punks Champion Lover (who may well be releasing a cheeky tape through this channel in the future…watch this space) and Richard Lawson and myself will be synthesising a new world of electronics. It will be the first time we've played together for some time, and the first time as a duo since we recorded the Ancient Western Hebrews cdr.
On top of all of that is some Audacious Art Experiment stallwarts in various- newer- guises including and Andy Maughan (formerly known as Nice) who has promised to cover Paul Young and Erasure with some subtle sampling techniques. No shit!

How do you feel?/
One question I often ask my clients when sorting and purging their clothing, "how do you feel when you wear this?" Their initial reaction is usually a good indicator of their feelings on the item.
How you feel in your clothing directly affects how you feel about yourself and, indirectly, how you may feel throughout the day. Additionally, your clothing plays a big role in how you project yourself to others.
Love how the outfit looks? When you wear the outfit, you probably feel more confident, sassy, self-assured, beautiful and happy.
Awkward fit (too big, too small or just not right)? When you wear the outfit, you may feel uncomfortable, unsure and timid.
When sorting through your clothes, please keep only the items that make you feel confident, sassy, self-assured, beautiful and happy. Your self-esteem will thank you for it.

As CI readers know, Eric Bolling found himself embroiled in an HR disaster after he sent lewd photos of male genitalia to female co-workers. The host of Fox News was suspended by the network. A spokesperson for the organization said in a statement, "Eric Bolling has been suspended pending the results of an investigation, which is currently underway."
His show, Cashin' In, was pulled from the airwaves on Friday night after allegations surfaced in a report by The Huffington Post.
The strange part of the charges is that the incidents reportedly happened several years ago.
However, the women claimed they did nothing to solicit the messages and found them deeply upsetting and offensive.
Michael J Bowe, the attorney for the disgraced host, released an additional statement to the press saying, "he recalls no such inappropriate communications, and does not believe he sent any such communications and will vigorously pursue his legal remedies for any false and defamatory accusations that are made."
The Huffington Post claimed that around 12 people had seen the photos or had heard of what happened.
This isn't the first time the talk show host has found himself at the center of controversy.
Back in 2014, when discussing the first woman fighter pilot from the UAE, he asked whether it was better to say, "boobs on the ground," instead of, "boots on the ground."
Bollins is the latest man to be in trouble regarding allegations of "sexual harassment."
In July of 2016, Roger Ailes resigned after Gretchen Carlson had claimed he made unwanted sexual advances towards her.
After she had made the initial claims, several other women came out with similar allegations. In April of 2017, Bill O'Reilly was also forced out of the organization after numerous sexual harassment charges. It looks like Fox News needs to get a better code of conduct as well as an HR department that can clean up this mess!

Large indeterminate, potato leaf plant produces good yields of 9-18 oz, large, pink beefsteak tomatoes with ruffled shoulders, with first fruits having more ribbing and later fruits being more smooth. Outstanding sweet flavor, meaty, not a lot of seeds, beautiful.

I wish I were an artist!
My sister paints. My mother painted. My aunt even taught the craft to students at the University of Michigan. For my part, I am skilled with neither pencil or brush. Even my stick figures lack class. For some reason this apple fell far from the tree.
How far?
When someone says "canvas," I think tents. When I hear "palate," I think food. When painters talk about quality grades of oil, my mind races to fully synthetic 5W-30, the stuff I put in my Chevy.
Something tells me that's not what they are thinking . . .
Of course I am not a total lost cause. Give me some finger paints and a little room and I can create!
Twirling my fingers in a dollop of tempera may seem like kid's stuff to you, but I'm feeling pretty good about it after reading Psalm 8. Here's why. God, the Artist with no equal, is a finger painter:
O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?
Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.
You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under his feet,
all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Psalm 8:1, 3-9 ESV
Great art displays the brilliance of its creator. While some works call for a casual glance or a thoughtful reflection, the true masterpieces arrest our attention. They beckon us and we return to them again and again to pause and wonder. Such is creation. God's "finger painting" evokes reverent awe.
Annie Dillard asks a question I suspect David might have asked contemplating a star-lit sky:
When I consider the immensity of the canvas and how easily God's fingers fashioned the luminous gallery above I can only stand mouth agape and gasp,
Oh LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
What stops you in your tracks and causes you to give God praise?
"How man centuries ..." from For the Time Being, by Annie Dillard. Vintage Book. Page 34.

It is an a well-known and obvious truth that writers improve their writing by reading the best writers.
Recently, I couldn't find a good book to read unless I were to return again largely to the classics and the Booker Prizes. No, I wanted new blood. Then (I guess I'm very slow), I thought, Why not try the Pulitzer winners for literature. I went to the list, and there was a name I have been seeing tossed around a lot: Michael Chabon. Okay. And on the list was "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay." My God, I discovered gold. The man is a genius. How he amuses me. The slower the read, the better. The whole world should be reading this novel.
I would hasten to add that people in other countries must be unable to make headway into this very American novel with all of its American references. One needs the American secret code.

Wedding Invitations Done – 17/10/2013
The wedding invitations we ordered last week have arrived and they look amazing!
We ordered our wedding invitations from Wedding Paper Divas. They do an amazing sample service where you get to choose 8 free samples and they also send an entire sample kit. This includes a variety of different items, including paper types, colours, envelope types and lots more.
We first ordered the sample kit and 8 free samples a few weeks ago. The samples we ordered were all beautiful, and actually we couldn't choose one of them! Instead, we chose a completely different one. We knew from the samples, that we were ordering high quality products so we didn't have a problem doing this.
And Wedding Paper Divas did not disappoint! They're beautiful: simple but elegant. I knew I wanted very simple flat card invites with a beautiful print. I didn't want any inserts or extra bits of paper. Instead, we want to set up a wedding website, where we can provide our guests with lots of information and where they can also RSVP and contact us easily.
Here is the invitation we got:
It is perfect: simple, elegant and original. We were able to play around with the wording so that it suited our event and the invitation goes through a designer to set the text. They then ask us to approve the draft, before printing goes ahead.
All in all, it was a great experience ordering our wedding invitations from Wedding Paper Divas, so I would highly recommend them.
Although we have ordered the wedding invitations a bit early, it's at least something we can tick off our to-do list! Woohoo!

Check out the Capitol Store, a retail outlet in the statehouse operated by the Kansas Historical Society.
The Capitol store opened in January 2014 with a mission to showcase Kansas' history, artists and industries. Ninety-five percent of the store is sourced from vendors throughout the state, who provide items such as crafts, books, clothing, collectibles, home and office supplies and jewelry.
Retail coordinator Marla Holt has the task of finding Kansans throughout the state who would like sell their products in the store.
"I am trying to set up something that is little bit sophisticated but also reminds you of what the state stands for," Holt said. "I am looking for something that will impress people out of state so they can see all the things that (we) do and what all the people in the state are capable of."
The most popular item at the Capitol Store is the Historical Copper Series, which includes jewelry, sculptures and decorative pieces made by different artist in Kansas. The copper came from the roof of the Capitol after the most renovations. The copper series is considered the best seller of the store, with people traveling to the Capitol to purchase items.
The Capitol Store is also a convenient place for legislators when they're looking for a gift from Kansas. Holt enjoys it when the legislators compliment the store, some even recommending vendors from the district they represent. The Capitol Store does its best to carry items the legislators can be proud of.
"We also try to stock gifts for the legislators to give to their constituents and people who are visiting them or (people) who they go to visit, to give them mementos of Kansas," Holt said. "We try to source everything in Kansas as much as we can."
Because the store's main source of products are items provided by people from Kansas, it can be hard to reach everyone in all of the corners of the state, said Holt.
"It is definitely easier to source from the east side of the state because that is where I am located and from," she said. "Finding people from the further parts of the state is a little more difficult. It is one of my challenges I am working on, but the Internet makes it a lot easier to find those people," Holt said.
Holt hopes to find a balance in merchandise that appeals to all people who come to the Capitol to visit.
The Capitol Store is not only an attraction for statehouse visitors, but it also benefits in other ways.
"The mission of the store, outside the retail, is to help keep the tours free at the Capitol. So, all of the money that we make from the store goes to support the tours and education at the Capitol," Holt said.
To learn more about the Capitol Store, visit the website: https://www.kshs.org/p/kansas-state-capitol-store/11741.
Or call 785-296-4537. The store is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays.

What a busy week this was!
Tuesday we shot a series of environmental portraits for Toronto based, Travel Insurance Coordinators. The idea was to show a more personal side of some of the TIC employees by photographing them while they did some of their favorite hobbies and activities. This worked out great for us, since its a lot easier to coach someone to look natural while doing an activity when they actually do that activity. Who would have thought?
We took a very light approach to this shoot, thinking that too much setup would make the subjects uncomfortable. Fortunately a nice overcast sky provided an ambient fill light. All we did was bring in a small strip-box on a Profoto 7B to open up some shadows and we were off to the races! We shot all the images on a Canon 5D MKIII with either the 24-70 f/2.8 L, or 70-200 f/2.8 L.
We're pretty happy with the results. Check out some of our favorites!

Welcome to Brentwood County High School
Our Sixth Form is undergoing a period of growth and change. We are growing the number of students in our Sixth Form from around 200 in 2011-2012 to an expected 260 in 2014-2015. To reflect this growth we are investing heavily in our sixth form facilities.
During the summer months of 2014 we will be moving the common room to a new location with a completely new set of facilities for our students. The new common room will be solely a social space which will be a clear improvement on the mixed social and study space of the current common room. The new common room facilities will also have food and drink vending machines accessible only to sixth form students.
At present our sixth formers have access to the Mezz study facility and partial access to the library when it is not used for lessons. From September sixth form students will have access to three new computer suites for study as well as the Mezz and the library. The three new study areas will be shared with staff and will be silent working environments more akin to a university environment than a school. This will enable our sixth formers to develop the self-study skills that are necessary for the highest possible levels of success. The combination of the Mezz computers and three study suites will mean that sixth formers have 120 computers available to use at any time. Whilst they will have to share a few with staff members who are seeking a silent working space during the day, this will never be many.
The Sixth Form is led by our Head of Sixth Form, Brigitte Page. Brigitte is supported by the Deputy Head of Sixth Form, Sue Cripps. Responsibility for standards in the Sixth Form rests with one of our assistant headteachers, Neil Arnould, who is the member of the Senior Leadership Team with responsibility for the Sixth Form.
Our post-16 provision includes AS, A2 and Level 3 BTEC courses, building on the wide ranging curriculum of the first five years at BCHS. All AS/A2 students follow the Pre-University course in 'Global Perspectives' which enables them to develop a range of skills that can be transferred to help raise performance in all of their A level subjects and prepare them for university or work. This wide range of courses provides all our students with the curriculum required to either access their chosen university courses or to move on to employment after Year 13.
We do place significant expectations on to our sixth formers as our most senior students. Year 12 and Year 13 students are required to dress in smart business dress and to wear their personal identification badge or lanyard at all times. These expectations are the same as for staff members and reflect the status of sixth form students at BCHS. Sixth form students are the senior students in our vertical tutor groups, providing mentoring for younger students in all aspects of school life. Study in the sixth form at BCHS is more than simply the A-Levels, BTECs or Pre-U courses which fill the academic timetable.
The two years of the sixth form are the time during which students can move from the school environment of Year 7 to 11 through to being adults ready for the next stage of their life beyond BCHS. We assume that there will not be any problems regarding behaviour, attitude, dress code, time keeping, homework or indeed any of the things that are sometimes issues with students before Year 12. If you choose to be in the sixth form then you have personally chosen to be part of the BCHS community and therefore our expectations of you are adult expectations which we have no doubt you will be able to meet.
We look forward to working with all students in sixth form, whether you are continuing your education at BCHS or are joining us from elsewhere after your GCSEs.
How to apply
If you want to apply for courses, you will need to contact Brentwood County High School directly.

Lainey's Guide To The Holidays/
I am probably one of the biggest holiday fanatics there ever was. And so every time December rolls around, I get into epic holiday overtime mode, trying to handle any and everything that I could possibly do that surrounds the most wonderful time of the year. And as I'm sure all of you too are the same as I, you too want to make the most of the holidays and be able to say that you celebrated the end of the year with a bang. Yet, there's so much to handle in such little time that it kind of gets overwhelming with what to do and where to begin. The secret is to drawing inspiration from the people and places around you which for me, consists of lots of Pinterest! So have no fear, help is on the way-- Fashionlaine style. So just hurry up and grab your Starbies red cupped drink, a pen, and paper, because I'm sharing with you today some of my favorite must-have/must-do ideas for the best holiday guide this season.
Upon any holiday, event or monumental moment, what has now become just as equally important as what your going to wear to the occasion is what your NAILS are going to wear to the occasion. So below I've listed out some of the most epic holiday nail designs that everyone must handle asap.
For those who like the extravagant nail looks that show pictures and tell stories, doing a little Rudolph and snowflake combo on the nails is exactly what you'll need.
Switch up the typical sparkle and one different color nail combo with adding a hint of a design on the extra nail so people know you're not messing around with the holidays.
What I've been meaning to do since December rolled around, these candy cane nails are SUCH a must.
For those who are down to get a little more creative and into it, these (what I like to call) jingle ball nails are the perfect holiday fun.
Glitter, ombres, and rhinestones. My three favorite combinations all put into one! Get a metallic icy white glittered ombre and then add a hint of rhinestones (as to not over do it) and you'll be all set for any holiday ball.
The holidays I think are defined by three things: presents, celebrations... and food. So below I've pulled out some ideas of yummy holiday treats that are sure to be the hit of every Instagram and party.
Everyone loves a good chocolate covered strawberry (especially white chocolate covered strawberries for me). But why not add a third layer of green sprinkles to finalize and make them the perfect holiday treat?
If you want to go more strawberry less chocolate covered, this fun little whipped strawberry Santa is calling your name.
How cute are these?! Typically a gingerbread cookie creator myself, why not step outside the norm and give some snowmen some love in the form of sugar cookies. All you'll need is mini marshmallows, frosting, and time devoted to having lots of fun.
Clearly strawberries are all the rage when it comes to the holidays so I couldn't leave out one last delicious treat idea of Santa Brownies consisting of brownies topped with frosting and strawberries.
When I'm at a party, what makes or breaks it is one thing and one thing only-- the photobooth. If there's a booth, you know I'm heading straight there to take 25 rounds of pictures with all of my friends. So if you're hosting a party this year, don't forget to making it one worth everyone wanting to upload to social media instantly.
Props, props, props. Everyone loves to add a little good attention and flare to their outfit so don't forget to have a full table of props ready to go for everyone (and it wouldn't hurt to match with your besties... and the background).
Signage is cute too.
But most importantly, the background! Simple yet detailed like these paper mached white trees and snowflakes, you can easily transform your photobooth room from a simple space to a luscious winter wonderland.
Gingerbread houses!! I literally hadn't made a gingerbread house since the second grade until last week when I had a gingerbread house making party with my friends. While I then clearly remembered why I hadn't made one for so long (because my house kept falling down), this was probably one of the best (and most tasty) activities I've ever done.
Last but certainly not least, the most epic (and easiest) way to get into the holiday spirits is to go to places that welcome and celebrate the holidays. Unfortunately since I'm only familiar with the LA area, I can only give you only my take on Los Angeles. But if you're an LA'er or planning a trip to LA soon, below are the top spots you must hit up.
The Grove is perfect all year round-- definitely one of my ultimate fave go-to spots in LA. But during Christmas time it's absolutely stunning with lights, a big tree, real life Santa, and more. And did I mention that they have fake snow they let out everyday?! Alas, a snowy LA winter we can all appreciate.
If you've been and done The Grove endless amounts of times, then checking out their sister mall, The Americana, is such a must with equally amazing stores (their Forever 21 is huge) and equally amazing decor.
Rodeo Drive is a go-to picture taking spot all year around. But with a lighting ceremony that starts off the holidays right, they dress up the iconic street with some of the prettiest holiday decor that is a must to see.
Ummm.. Disneyland much anyone? Disney dresses up it's town twice a year-- Halloween and Christmas. If you haven't ever been to Disney in December, it's about time for you to take a visit back to Mickey and Toon Town asap.
Last but not least, don't forget to go ice skating with your friends! Find the nearest rink closest to you and ice skate the day away, having fun... and attempting not to fall.

Goodreads Review of California: A Novel
California: A Novel by Edan Lepucki
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I was not sure what to expect other than the story taking place in California. I was able to get a free audio download via the Ford Audiobook Club. Frida and Cal leave LA since LA has nothing to offer…the fires, earthquakes, drought, high gas prices, low wages have created a society that feels unsafe. They drive towards what sounds like Central California and find an abandoned shack out in the middle of nowhere. After a few months they meet the Millers, the only other humans in that area. The Millers themselves are a bit of a mystery to Frida and Cal.
Cal and Frida keep secrets from the Miller. There are secrets that Frida and Cal keep from each other that create tension between them mostly involving Frida's dead brother, Micah. By the middle of the book there are more deaths, which lead Frida and Cal to finally venture to find others like themselves. The surprise is in WHO they find out there.

Alex Perlman
Director of Internal Activity
Favorite ACTIVITIES: Yoga & Weight Lifting
I believe there is so much to be gained from carving time out of your day for your body and mind. Since beginning this lifestyle when I was 14, I have come to live happier, more energized and more focused. I no longer take any medication for my learning disability and feel so much better as a result.
Today,I carve my day around creating time for a health body, a clear mind and a grateful spirit. Most of my experience in fitness is in weighting lifting with the goal of developing lean muscle mass. Other activities, I have come to love in my daily life today include yoga and writing in my gratitude journal. Reach out and let's chat about weighting lifting, creating headspace or whatever!

Sydney Emerson
Director of Events
I have come to learn that health is so much more than a good workout and a green smoothie (though I do love both those things hehe). I grew up outside of Boston, and I spent my first year at SCU struggling to find my place and my people. Too much exercise and not enough food became my distraction, and ultimately I ended up really compromising my health.
Fast forward a year, after deciding to honor my mental and physical health, I completed a yoga sculpt teacher training and began to really understand what healthy looked like for me. Balance was (and is) key. I truly believe it is such a privilege to have an able body and taking care of it is DOPE

Favorite Activity: CrossFit
For me, health and fitness is so much more than eating right and hitting the gym x times a week; to me fitness is the way you feel when you find peace with your body and are able to celebrate the beautiful machine that it is. I believe everyone should find a physical outlet in their life, not only to stay active, but more importantly to stay empowered.
My activity of choice is crossfitting at a local box, Sundown Crossfit; just 3 blocks from campus! I love being able to do fun and different workouts every day to challenge myself both physically and mentally. Since I started crossfit 5 years ago, I've noticed I feel so much healthier and stronger and have gained so much confidence in many aspects of my life. I am so in love with what physical fitness has done to enhance my life and empower me that I hope to share it with as many people who will listen!

FAVORITE ACTIVITies: Dancing and Hiking
Hi sunshiny person! My health and fitness journey is surrounded by the idea of bringing joy and compassionate into everything I do. One of the most important aspects of my life is leading a plant-based vegan diet which I have done for the past three years. I find so much joy in my vegan lifestyle and think it is the most sustainable and compassionate way to live and I love to share this with others. In terms of physical activity, I've been dancing since I was three years old, I absolutely love to hike and backpack, run, and practice yoga! I've just recently started swing dancing too, which is a blast. I love to share my lifestyle choices with others and hope I influence people to lead a more environmentally friendly, and intentional life. You can find me dancing in grocery aisles, singing, camping, reading lots of books, and playing the ukulele- reach out for anything.

Ashling Findlay-Carroll reviews a 'story that should be told' that 'is executed beautifully'.
I have to start with a confession: before seeing Vox Motus' new show, I was worried that it might be a bit gimmicky. I'm glad to report that my worries were completely unfounded.
The anticipation built as we were taken in groups to a small, dark waiting area and asked to sit in a row—not unlike waiting outside the headmasters office. We could see or hear nothing of the experience that lay before us and were beckoned through, one at a time.
When my turn arose, I was guided to my own booth and given some headphones, feeling both excited and apprehensive. The models that tell the story of two young brothers as they journey to escape their native Afghanistan have clearly been created with meticulous attention to detail and are accompanied by a powerful soundtrack.
The impact of hearing the story through headphones is immersive and connects the audience to the places and people in a hugely moving way. The story is narrated beautifully by Emun Elliot, and the cast of actors who voice the story made me really care for the characters. It really didn't matter that they were models that did not move, we completely invest in their journey. At points I gasped out loud at the images presented, and at others I watched with childlike wonder, open-mouthed.
Flight is a technical triumph, and I can only imagine the weeks of work that have gone into carefully crafting the lighting design, which must consist of hundreds of tiny lights and illuminates each miniature scene with the same precision as in a full-scale theatre piece.
In the programme, co-director Candice Edmunds mentions 'a lovely little show' but it is clear that this is so much more: it is powerful and makes an important political and social point. It is a story that should be told, and it is executed beautifully.
In recent years this company has become known for innovation, and with this installation they have nailed a new way of storytelling.
Flight is on until August 27. Check programme for specific times as they vary.

Happy November! I don't post to my fitness portion of my website as I should, but I am working on it. There are a lot of FAQ I get via DM that I'd love to answer in a blog format. So, definitely be on the lookout for that, but in other news we have 2 months left of 2017. Can you believe it?!
It's been a great year for health and fitness for me, particularly the end half of the year because I've lost 20lbs since graduation and I finally have found a healthy balance since I am not in college anymore. Last November I challenged myself to #NoDaysOffNovember which was basically pushing myself to work out every single day, even if it's not the gym just do SOMETHING! Well, I failed. Returning home from school for the holidays, the end of the semester and more got in the way. But, when I fail, I learn. Therefore, I am attempting #NoDaysOffNovember again. I have a jam-packed month with events, but I will not let that deter me.
Being that we are in the final 60 days of the year, whatever we do will determine the drive that we go into 2018 with. Don't wait until January 1st to hit the gas running, lightly press that gas starting now so your fire will be hot and burning by the new year.
If anyone wants to join me on my #NoDaysOffNovember challenge then let's go! And, yes I am including Thanksgiving, I'll probably go for a light jog that morning. Every week I'll give you guys updates on how it's going. Talk to you then!

Mr. Turner is a founding member of HAWKWIND, the sci-fi space-metal kings of the 1970's. Interesting fact: this is where Lemmy started his music career as a roadie (he later became the bass player, and was fired for preferring meth instead of hallucinogenics). Nic Turner (sax, flute, wackiness) and his band will be playing HAWKWIND's all-time, hashtacular Space Ritual at the Echoplex this Sunday. Special "psychedelic friends" are promised on the bill, along with Arcata, California's WHITE MANNA, who according to their website, play "space rock using a scorched-earth policy." Fire up the "Orgone Accumulator", and get ready to travel a billion light years from Earth.

Pull the KHS down. Flat tires, rusty cables. Even the front derail is stuck. GT-85 shower gets everything working OK. Air up the tires, center the rear brake and do a quick once over to make sure I'm not going to kill myself on this ride. Roll out and realize the seat is forward from the freedom springs tri last July 4. The HB tape is loose because I took off the aero bar. I just roll with because, after all, I am from Woodville. This bike rolls fast, steers fast and I wish it pedaled fast. I hate riding road bikes and this wasn't my first choice for tonight. But that's where everybody was riding so whatever.
Riding backwards to meet the group I try to keep it backed down but ride enough that these aren't trash miles. Try to remember that I need ten minutes of warm up. Everything is great except I need to do my neck exercises. My neck hurts and the position and stress of riding makes it hurt.
At the top of Garden View I see the 2 live crew on their 20 minute training interval. They yell "see you in a little while" but I never did. Feeling pretty good so I decide to climb AJ Henry. A big concern here because last time out my legs were full, a repeat of the Macon race. That last ride was Tuesday night and I pretty much suffered the entire ride. I took a leap of faith this climb would not put me over the edge. At the top of the climb I got hung out to dry because the Joe's ride passed by me on the last turn. It's a blind corner so I had no warning they were coming. I was able to turn around quickly enough and the worm was there. So was the mac and some of the other boys. The worm and I pulled through about half of the group down the hill I just climbed. We didn't lay the hammer but we got a little speed. Up Garden View and I'm still OK. Turn the corner at the church and it starts to heat up. Chris tells me to grab Tim's wheel. Sounds like he's directing Steve a little ways back. I grab Tim's wheel but he pulls through a group. I think Rita is there. Tim has pegged it pretty hard. Some tall dude is just off the right but rolling good. I give him verbal cue to get on – the type of sound you make to make a horse a giddy up. He must of heard because he immediately grabbed the wheel. I tuck in behind him. I'm about 5th place. Not really where I want to be. Tonight I'm supposed to sit in. I know the leaders will pull off and I will have to pull trhough. History says that I will make a few little climbs and then blow up. So I do something different. I actually pull to the side and float around to see if I can survive. I see Tim pull off to the left and the group surges. The ride is all over the place. We're about 10 back, in a cluster of folks side by side. The worm pulls through and over to give me a wheel. Up the last hill the group has leaned out. We're all single file now. Chris looks back to see if I'm there. I'm still on. We're about 7 or 8 back. Will I really make it? Mid way down sprint alley, the pace gets pushed harder when Berg and I think Zak come around on the double yellow. I could care less because I'm in pain and just glad to be here. Chris checks a few more times. We float to the right but make it all the way to the sprint. Feels good. I look around for Steve but he's way off (I think he took a piss).
Can't decide what to do. Do I go back for Steve or try to survive the switch back? Sorry Steve but I have to try and stay on. I ride with the group and Berg gives me motivation for the climb. It hurts and I'm a little off the back. I make a little time up down the chicane and we get back on at the 4 way stop. Up Lt. Dan's hill I just want to survive. I sit through the first up and then see Steve! No way. I've never seen that before. Big worm and wrecking ball have pulled Steve back from the dead. All of them are breathing hard but their there. WOW.
Secon lap, in arbor hills I decide to move to the front. I want to bomb the downhill. Do so easily out front by myself. This gives me a little head start for Garden View which really, really hurts. Worm asks me to pull back Terry's wheel when we get on Shamrock. I think I'm doing a good job of slowly pulling us back. Trying to not gas us – but get us up there. Not quick enough because Chris comes around and says ride the train. Just ask for another gear next time big worm – glad to do it. We're back on and it gets lit up again past the church. Brendan is pulling. Tim's out front too. This time it's a little more spastic. The first couple of ups and downs hurt. I'm in better position but behind white jersey who keeps yoyoing. Steve's there and I hear the worm barking direction. White jersey and I are off to the right. One of the guys were tracking pulls over and white jersey falters a little. I'm looking for a place to get back on. Off to the left and a little back is Steve and company. Not sure where Terry is. I'm going to have to pull through by myself. At the top of the last tittie. We're about 5 wide and some guy in the draft trys to stomp on it- his drive train takes a nasty puke and scares the shit out of everybody . We all scatter around and it's fuzzy but I think I hear worm still barking to grab a wheel. I ride through and go for it as far as possible. Don't quite make it but I don't blow up and I'm able to grab Rita's wheel to mostly make it with the group.
We go through the motions and the switch back HURTS. Terry and Steve scream up it. Then on to Dan's hill, I suffer. That SUCKED, but I made it. Say later to the worm and roll home. Feel pretty good. Now I'm glad i didn't bail on the ride. I owe it all to race director worm. I'm so tired.

Miranda Lambert, You, & Me
"Tell the truth, it's more interesting," said one of Miranda Lambert's producers at this past Sunday night's award ceremony.
Frank Liddell was onstage and at the mic at Miranda's request. She stood nearby holding her latest award for Album of the Year.
He said, "In the day and age of sound bites, I just want to thank Miranda for being willing to look deep in her soul and bringing her life into her art."
"Tell the truth, it's more interesting" is great advice for all of us, not just songwriters.
As churches are in the season of urging Christians to invite their friends to Lenten and Easter events with them, some try and polish up their testimonies and pretend to be someone they're not.
"Tell the truth, it's more interesting."
Want another reason? "I am the way and the truth and the life," says Jesus. "No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6)
"Tell the truth." Let's do.
Remember: "It's more interesting."

I haven't written here in a while. This is the first blog since I announced my writing was on a bit of a hiatus. Today, I wasn't having a very good day. There are moments when I feel like life just keeps kicking me to the ground and there are times where I don't really feel much like getting up to fight back.
Occasionally, when these days happen, I come across a meme that someone posted on Facebook and it helps pick me up and gives me the incentive to get back up and fight the good fight. So then I thought: "How many other people are having rough times in their lives and could use a little pick me up too?"
I decided today was the day that maybe I should start writing about these inspiring moments in lieu of writing my books. Maybe this is the path I am meant to travel for a while. So we will give it a whirl and see how it goes. I can't guarantee I will post daily, but I will try to motivate myself to share any incentives that I receive.
This is the meme that provided the incentive for today to keep on fighting and never give up. Today was one of those days where I was feeling down and like a failure because I am not having any success with my online store. And the old adage comes to mind, "It takes money to make money." And I don't have the spare money for advertising and such, so I am relying on the hope that my friends on social media will help me out with promoting the store. Well, that concept has been a miserable failure and I feel like I am going to fall victim to the dreaded Facebook algorithms that will keep my posts from being seen by a majority of the public (unless I pay for sponsored ads).
I was having a moment that was synonymous with the one line in the Poison song: Something to Believe In. The lyric is "And it just makes me wonder why so many lose and so few win". Why is that? Why can't we all be a success if we work hard enough to get there? Why is it that so many lose and so few win?
The meme earlier today reminded me once again of my favorite Triumph song: Fight the Good Fight. It seems like those moments when I need a pick me up, the song on my playlist will play and remind me not to give in and give up. So, I am pulling up my boot straps and giving it my best for another day.
So, along with the meme, I give you the lyrics to Fight the Good Fight. Enjoy your day and keep on fighting!
Fight the Good Fight-Triumph
The days grow shorter and the nights are getting long
Feels like we're running out of time
Every day it seems much harder tellin' right from wrong
You got to read between the lines
Don't get discouraged, don't be afraid, we can
Make it through another day
Make it worth the price we pay
The Good Book says it's better to give than to receive
I do my best to do my part
Nothin' in my pockets I got nothin' up my sleeve
I keep my magic in my heart
Keep up your spirit, keep up your faith, baby
I am counting on you
You know what you've got to do
Fight the good fight every moment
Every minute every day
Fight the good fight every moment
It's your only way
All your life you've been waiting for your chance
Where you'll fit into the plan
But you're the master of your own destiny
So give and take the best that you can
You think a little more money will buy your soul some rest
You'd better think of something else instead
You're so afraid of being honest with yourself
You'd better take a look inside your head
Nothing is easy, nothing good is free
But I can tell you where to start
Take a look inside your heart
There's an answer in your heart
Fight the good fight every moment
Every minute every day
Fight the good fight every moment
Make it worth the price we pay
Every moment of your lifetime
Every minute every day
Fight the good fight every moment
Make it worth the price we pay

This summer, The Landscaper's Daughter—a short film co-written by and starring Reeves Lehmann, who is chair of the BFA Film, Video and Animation Department, and directed by alumnus Derek Curl (BFA 2000 Film and Video)—is making the rounds of film festivals and walking away with awards and positive reviews. The film tells the story of a high-school student who unwittingly causes her father to unravel when she attempts to interview him about his time in the Vietnam War. Lehmann co-wrote the screenplay with his daughter, Meaghan Lehmann, based on his own experiences as a Vietnam veteran.
The Landscaper's Daughter was screened recently at the Sedona Film Festival, The NYC Picture Start Film Festival, The Long Island International Film Festival, The Stony Brook Film Festival and The Jerusalem International Film Festival. The film earned the Best Short Film award at the Long Island festival, and at Picture Start picked up a Best Actor Special Jury Mention for Lehmann and a Best Actress award for his co-star, Sara Lukasiewicz.
