Harvest Workroom
Hello Sandwiches!
I'm here at Harvest Workroom now for my artist residency! It's really incredible and I'm having so much fun! The girls at Harvest are just the sweetest ever. I've considered trying to make them employ me so I can stay ha ha!
I'm getting a bit more settled now, I've mastered the tram system (at least enough to get to Harvest and back) (no more embarrassing moments trying to scan my Myki card on the paper tickets maching - urgh!) and have successfully ordered a 'pot' of beer. It's been great eating delicious organic western food, drinking green Kale smoothies each morning and drinking delicious coffee. One cafe near my residency has a sign on it's door saying "No Bloggers" though!!! mean!
This is the amazing printing room filled with every colour paint, screens, fabrics! It's a pleasure to work here.
Some of the prints the Harvest girls have printed lately. Amazing!
Too cute for rubbish!
I desperately want this fluoro bag!!!
My dream kitchen.
They have a great selection of mismatched mugs. There's a Ken Done one I try and snag everyday (you might have seen it on my instagram maybe?). It's not going to be easy to leave this place!
Nawwww. The girls have left me so many sweet art supplies. As I'm working away they bring out more goodies for me to use.
Unpacking items from my new Japanese craft book for the mini exhibition.
I love their super aussie back yard which just had a makeover by Peaches and Keen.
The beautiful and blank window before I got to work on my window display...will post pictures of my space and the window display soon!
If you're in Melbourne, come along to Harvest on Saturday from 1-5 for our open day. Enjoy hanging out, saying hello, checking out the Hello Exhibition, and make a coaster set at the little coaster making station complete with mt tape!
Love Love

Lexus will debut to the LC 500h luxury coupe at the Geneva Motor Show.
Powered by Lexus's next generation hybrid powertrain, the 'Multi Stage Hybrid System' found in the LC 500h coupe will provide 'higher performance, more driving pleasure and greater efficiency'.
The LC made its debut at the 2016 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit as one of Lexus's flagship models. The LC is built on a new Lexus architecture that 'promises greater dynamic capabilities' says the Japanese brand. The coupe, inspired by the LF-LC concept that was revealed in 2012, marks the beginning of a new phase for Lexus with a shift in engineering processes and design ideologies.
Lexus will also display the LF-FC concept at Geneva. Making its first European appearance, the concept vehicle offers a glance towards Lexus's design and technology direction for a future flagship saloon. First seen at last year's Tokyo motor show, the LF-FC is powered by a high-output fuel cell system and features advanced, touchless controls and automated driving technologies.
The Geneva Motor Show runs from 3-13 March.

Presented by the 2011 Carnegie Mellon International Film Festival: Faces of Migration.
March 2, 8:00 PM at McConomy Auditorium
2010; 83 min.
2010 Best Female Performance Award, São Paulo
2010 Premiered at International Film Festival Rotterdam, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
2011 Exhibited at Universität Graz, Graz, Austria
2010 Exhibited at Warsaw Film Festival, Warsaw, Poland
In an attempt to fully comprehend the significance of her "foreign" ancestry, Andréa, a filmmaker living in Amsterdam, decides to interview her family members. She discovers that each of her siblings has lived in diverse locales abroad, but she struggles to understand the ambiguous link between her mother and the rest of her family. To her chilling surprise, she realizes that her siblings and her mother all have difficulty suppressing a deep psychological trauma that cursed them in the distant past.
Determined to seek an explanation for this painful memory that consistently resurfaces, Andréa begins to focus her inquiry on what historical event could have possibly caused this tremendous anguish. She reaches a shocking revelation: Edith, Andréa's Jewish mother, was only three years old when she witnessed her parents escape from Nazi Germany on the very last boat, in 1939. The path of migration now evolves into a dizzying labyrinth, as the perilous act of fleeing from eminent danger meets the subsequent attraction to exotic foreign destinations. The life of the twentieth-century Jewish migrant transforms from a historical narrative into a psychological thriller.
Mieke Bal adds visual intensity to her academic lifestyle through the art of filmmaking. She is a world-renowned film director as well as a distinguished professor at the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. Her cinematic work, including experimental documentaries and video installations, focuses on migration and the distinct idea of "migratoriness." Her mind-bending works, such as Separations, State of Suspension, Becoming Vera, and Nothing is Missing are featured in worldwide exhibitions.

Some moms out there are over the top with costumes- kudos to y'all for planning months in advance and handcrafting awesome, elaborate costumes for your little ones. For the rest of us, there's BabyLegs. No need to slave over a sewing machine for a costume that is still classy and looks homemade. Take a onesie or bodysuit and some easy to find costume accessories, add some BabyLegs leg warmers, and voila- instant cute costume.
Now, I'm not particularly crafty and I was still able to put together a pretty darn cute fairy princess costume for our photoshoot using stuff that you might already have around the house, and if you don't you'll at least use them again. Here's the recipe:
1 gymnastics/ballet/etc. bodysuit
1 tutu
1 tiara
1 wand (optional)
1 pair fairy BabyLegs leg warmers
Quinn is going to be a bee this year- in no small part because grandma found a cute little bee vest thingy at Marshall's for a steal. But, because she is still so tiny, the jumpsuit that goes underneath doesn't fit. Luckily, BabyLegs has two super-cute options for bees this year: bee stripe and bees bumbling. (Cute options for ladybugs too BTW.)
Click HERE for BabyLegs' Halloween costume designs. Good luck and happy halloween! Boo!

Esdeveniments importants
Many important events line the history of the Liceu. Here we can only highlight some of the major milestones.
The Liceu's grand opening
The opening ceremony took place on 4 April 1847. On the programme were a symphony by Joan Melcior Gomis, the drama Don Fernando el de Antequera by Ventura de la Vega, an Andalusian-style dance entitled Rondeña by the musician Josep Jurch, and Il Regio Imene, a cantata in Italian by Joan Cortada with music by Marià Obiols. Mixed bills of this type would continue to be offered until the 1880s.
The 1861 fire
On 14 April 1861, a fire broke out which completely destroyed the Auditorium and stage. Reconstruction, under the supervision of Josep Oriol Mestres and in the same style as the first building, took just one year, and the theatre reopened on 20 April 1862.
The Anarchist bomb attack of 1893
The Liceu's social function as the glittering showcase of Barcelona's industrial and financial bourgeoisie made it a symbol of the oligarchy and a target for revolutionary movements of the day, notably the anarchists. On 7 November 1893, in the midst of the opening performance of the season Rossini's Guillaume Tell, the anarchist Santiago Salvador threw two Orsini bombs into the stalls. Only one exploded, causing some twenty deaths.
The Second Spanish Republic nationalizes the Liceu
Following the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), in a bid to protect the Liceu, the Republican authorities nationalized it and turned it into the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya. At the start of Franco's dictatorship in 1939 it was returned to its former owners and the original management system was reinstated.

It seems like Peruvian chicken is all the rage now days. There's a ton of bloggers out there posting recipes. To be honest, I've never eaten authentic Peruvian chicken. I'm a bit hesitant to stop by my local chicken rotisserie shop as I can't easily verify any as gluten free. Years ago in London, Nando's Peri Peri chicken was the hip cool new quick service restaurant. My classmates and I would frequent it often as we could find fresh healthy food at a reasonable budget (ie. college budget). I've not been to a Nando's Peri Peri since going gluten free but I did love to find them in the USA after so many years of pining for delicious chicken in London. I do recognize that I'm talking about two different types of chicken rubs Peri Peri being a portugese african pepper based rub while peruvian style
Because of my love of Nado's and roast chicken, I decided to investigate this peruvian chicken phenomenon myself. Could this rub truly make my roasted chicken even more delicious? Well as I write this with a chicken roasting in the oven my mouth is drooling, so yes it can. I have to admit that the combination of cumin, paprika, vinegar, and garlic gives the chicken such a depth of flavor that makes me want another bite. Please don't throw out the skin on this one-that's where all the crispy bits of rub are hiding! I'm going have to work hard to not devour half of this freshly roasted chicken by myself.
I do love making things at home that recreate restaurant recipes so this roasted chicken is perfect for that reason. It's also nice to control the ingredients. I like knowing there's no preservatives swimming about. Finally, there's guaranteeing that it's gluten free. Recreating a dish that I'm apprehensive eating out makes it easier So I've cobbled together my own recipe for Peruvian chicken which follows in the vine of several magazines and blogs. As I've said I can't say it's authentic or how it compares to a peruvian chicken rotisserie shop but I think it's delicious. This summer I'll certainly test it out on our grill's rotisserie but for now I'm happy to roast it in a super hot oven in my favorite Staub braiser. Happy eating!
- 3 1/2-4 lb organic whole chicken
- 2 tbsp ground cumin
- 2 tbsp ground paprika
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 4 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil (+ 1 tbsp for pan)
- 2 tbsp white vinegar
- Spatchcock your chicken (so that the backbone is cut out and you can lay the chicken flat in a pan)
- Place the chicken in a large bowl and set aside.
- Mix together the next seven ingredients in a small bowl, they will form a thick paste. Set it aside.
- Take a tooth pick and poke holes all over the chicken.
- Then take a teaspoon full of the marinade paste and start spreading it all over the chicken in the bowl.
- Gently lift the skin off the breasts and thighs of the chicken and put a teaspoon full of marinade under the skin in each of these four pockets.
- Keep using teaspoonfuls until the bird is covered in marinade-even the now opened interior of the bird.
- Cover with saran wrap and let sit in the refrigerator for an hour.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 500 degrees with an oven rack set in the lower third of the oven.
- Add the final tablespoon of olive oil to a shallow braising pan.
- When an hour has passed, place the marinated bird into the braising pan.
- Place chicken on the rack in the lower third of the oven and set a timer for 25 minutes.
- Rotate bird and cook for another 20-35 mins until the temperature of the breast reaches 160 degrees. I found that it took at least 50 mins total in my oven.
- Let bird rest on the counter and then carve and serve.

Manifesting in a partnership presents additional challenges, but there is also a synergy of potential power you can tap into when practicing the Law of Attraction or performing spells with others. You are never really alone when you're living in the Flow, and to a certain degree, all abundance is collectively held and distributed. In response to the article Manifesting the What -- not the How, my friend and esteemed British colleague Damian of SoulTerminal left the following comment. I replied personally by email, and Damian has graciously given his blessing to share our conversation here, publicly, as we agreed that many of you may relate to his situation.
Hopefully, you are blessed with many relationships -- business partnerships, life partnerships, marriages, friendships, family -- each and every one of them a unique creative collaboration. I learn by teaching, by practicing what I preach, and often my understanding benefits most by listening to -- and hearing -- what I say to another.
We are all one another's angels; sometimes, what you most need to hear will simply come out of your own mouth. Damian wrote:
I understand the principles and have been working on manifesting a new home for my family (the 5.5 of us are cramped in a very small rented house) but my partner doesn't understand the concept and insists on setting her targets too low (micromanaging). SO… Surely her approach to manifesting is counter-productive to mine and how do we deal with that?
My response, speaking directly to Damian: I observe a few noteworthy things about your attempting to manifest a new home with your partner. My observations are simply extracted from your word choice and the way you present the challenge you find yourself in. This is not about what your spirit guides say -- my suggestions are a critique of how you are communicating with yourself -- because how you present it to others simply has to be indicative of your core attitude.
You are not alone
First you declare your understanding -- solo -- and state that you are working on manifesting a new home for your family. Are you doing this alone, is it understood to be your job alone to find the new home, or would everyone agree that you are working together to find a new home?
Check your attitude of gratitude
Now, look at your level of gratitude for what you have already managed to provide together in terms of a home. Sure, you want to improve. Sure, you could do better. Can't we all? Couldn't we always find something that needs fixing? This is a vicious cycle.
In The Right Way to Pray -- as well as countless other authors' perspectives you'll find in agreement about the power of gratitude -- a basic approach to manifesting MORE of something, is to acknowledge what you already have, not what you lack.
Start by acknowledging what you have
You have a safe place to call home for your family. Thank God. Start there. Now expand the idea of being ready to accept more of what you already have. Because it would not be accurate to say you are homeless.
The insidious little three letter monster "try" and all its various disguises
Now, about this idea of "working on" something... Explain what "working on manifesting" means? Is that like "trying to..."?
"Working on" and "trying to" are not Doing.
By using -- telling yourself -- that you are "working on" manifesting a new home, you are expressing doubt. You simply manifest a new home for your family -- you create it once, by expressing your intentions -- and then become the person who will recognize the opportunities that present the paths to meeting the What -- become the person who takes the necessary actions those opportunities may require.
And don't forget, when I say "You" I'm speaking to the plural you. You and your partner are both responsible for taking actions that will lead to the achievement of a common goal. The minute either one of you assumes personal control of all potential opportunities and actions, you've already blown away half your collective power.
There is both doubt and procrastination in the specific way you express this desire.
Extreme example: It's like you're saying
"I'm planning on thinking about trying to start making this happen."
I'm being silly and over-the-top in that example to show the direction your thoughts are tending toward, if not the degree. Prune back all the conditional "weeds" and simplify the desire -- the What -- in the present. The conditional facets of "working on" or "trying" or "planning to" keep allocating your goal to the future.
Move directly into a present declaration:
"We are on the hunt for a better home for our family. We are manifesting the perfect new home for us, for the good of all involved. We actively participate in finding this treasure. We are excited about it, we are hopeful, and my partner and I both bring our combined forces to this common goal."
A better way to pray
Jessa of ClairvoyantGuidance.net actually wrote a fantastic post about manifesting her new home which you might find helpful to read. You might even consider sharing it with your partner as a way of helping her gain understanding of your perspective. A different voice, or a woman's voice, may help it all "click" a little better for your partner. Perhaps Jessa's explanations or mine or another person's might support and corroborate what you want your partner to understand about manifesting techniques.
Are you guilty of being a Right-Fighter?
A "right-fighter" is a Dr. Phil-ism I'm borrowing here to point to the tendency couples have to fight for the sake of winning the argument -- the argument is not the shared goal.
So, you've got to address your conflict with your partner:
- Why is she "working against your efforts"?
- Who says it's "counter-productive"?
- Where does that assumption come from?
- Says Who?
No, really, that's not meant to be a rhetorical question -- look at who provides this idea of conflict -- you just told me it's surely working against you. Surely?
I didn't say so. Did your partner? Or is this your perception, assigned to the situation? Your partner insists on setting her target too low -- how are you insisting or persisting your own pessimism?
Celebrate this Two-Headed Creature! Want a really simple fix?
- Why not declare that your partner's varied efforts support your common goal, in a synergy of different styles of manifesting and taking action?
- Why not see her insistence as her unique, valuable contribution?
- Why not celebrate the diversity of thought and perspective?
You know what they say
"Two heads are better than one."
Are you working as Two Heads on this -- as a team -- or is this a competition? Why not simply choose to see that your style of manifesting, combined with the supporting elements of hers, don't "cancel each other out" -- provided you share a common goal.
The What. In this case, the What is the shared goal of a New Home for Your Family.
Let's simply strip away all the Stuff and establish What it is that you (both) want.
What you can agree on is something like
"We need a better home for our family."
Then proceed to defining what would make your home "better" -- the list of the details is up to you to identify, but they might be things like:
- more space
- better location (which might equal easier daily travel expenses to and from work, school, and errands, which over time is less of a drain on family resources)
- within our budget
Start on the Same Page
You don't have to agree upon How you will find this house, or the actions that each of you may take individually to support the common goal -- but at least sit down and agree upon What you want, so that you both can recognize it when you see it, so that you both can pick up the scent of it and follow the path, in your own unique sense of what it means to take action.
Get the What down on paper -- at least metaphorically
Talk about it and write it down. Again, just stay focused on the What -- the features that you desire in the new home. If money is a contentious point, then simply take that out of the equation for now.
The Power of Diversity
Once you've established What it is you're looking for in a home, then celebrate your unique methods for taking action, and give thanks for the diversity of perspective -- simply choose to see that as a strength.
You are stronger as a couple if you allow it to be so.
"We are a strong couple. Our differences are an asset to our family. We are more together. Our combined efforts, although they come at a solution from opposite directions, help us discover possibilities we couldn't see on our own."
Reciprocate - Reflect One Another's Power
She has a practical approach that you may lack; you have an optimism and faith that can be a source of infectious, positive energy. If you want her to value your way, acknowledge the value of HER way. Believe there is room for both, and start thinking of it as Our Way.
It's not a competition, stop keeping score
Why not simply choose to think something other than -- to call it something other than -- "canceling each other out"? This is a family we're talking about here -- it's not your (singular) way or her way or else no way -- it's Yours (plural).
Nothing is gained by viewing this as a competition. It is the Game of Life, maybe, but you guys are on the same team, remember? Combine your killer serve with her defensive volley and high-five one another's plays and saves.
What You Resist - What You Insist - Persists
I'm going to bust you here for just putting out to the Universe that "my partner doesn't understand."
This may be "true," from the walled-off illusion of Separateness you're viewing the situation from, but back out to view a more relaxed context.
Examine the context of what you declare and potential alternatives
You wouldn't say to me "my six year old can't read like an adult." You might say "He's learning to read. He's only six years old, and he's learning."
Maybe your partner is learning to understand the concept and YOU are her teacher.
Don't expect her to understand as you do because then you deny her your own wisdom -- which may be HER best source on the matter.
Controlling is never better than collaborating
Also see that it is not necessarily your job to save -- control -- or convert her in some way. Perhaps your understanding is her way -- and your children's way -- your family's way of having such wisdom in your lives.
Maybe for now You are the source of your wisdom and you are meant to simply provide that for others. It's understood that spouses have different roles to play, and while that should be a flexible notion, infinitely adaptable to any kind of couple, diverse systems are stronger.
There's a wonderful fictional wisdom about couples and synergy in Gregory Maguire's Son of A Witch -- it's Quadling folk saying I will leave you to contemplate:
"One plus One equals Both."

Six Ways They Differ From Dogs
Many people are enchanted by the thought of having a pet fox. They are charming, intelligent creatures, and there's lots of appeal in getting a "special" animal that does not lots of people have. While foxes could make decent pets for somebody using the some time and sources to look after them, many people result in the mistake of purchasing a dog fox thinking it will be as being a dog.
1. Foxes Take Time And Effort to coach
Dogs are born having a quite strong pack mentality. Your dog sees you since it's alpha, and it is hard-wired to wish to obey the best choice. They live to impress you. A fox, however, lives to impress itself. While they're very intelligent, the main motivation of the fox differs from what dog. Your dog really wants to make you happy thus making you happy, the fox wants the treat.
2. Foxes Stink
Foxes possess a strong odor. While your dog may take a couple of days with no bath to operate up a effective stink, foxes smell skunky 24/7. This strong, musky odor could be lessened somewhat by getting the fox neutered, however it can't be eliminated entirely.
3. Foxes Are Shy
Lots of people picture a fox being an awesome pet that they'll showcase for their buddies and neighbors. Regrettably, the truth more often than not falls far lacking this. While foxes frequently become very attached and affectionate using their families, they continue to be impossibly shy around visitors and other people.
4. Foxes Have Particular Needs
Foxes have particular nutritional and workout needs outdoors what dog. They're very energetic, and wish lots of exercise every single day. A sizable, carefully-built outside enclosure is essential. That can bring me to my next point…

They are able to leap six ft in mid-air, ascend fences, as well as cling upside lower to climb along a series link ceiling for brief distances. Any enclosure that is supposed to keep foxes mustn't simply be large, but impossible to seek out of and also have a full roof.
6. Foxes Are Destructive
Lots of people purchase a fox underneath the mistaken impression that it may be stored being an indoor pet, and playing free run of the home while they're away at the office. Nothing might be further away from the reality, particularly using the bigger species like red foxes. They'll steal and conceal anything sufficiently small to allow them to carry, and shred almost everything they are able to obtain teeth directly into. It's extremely difficult to interrupt every-trained fox of those behaviors. Your dog could be trained to not chew things, a fox are only able to be trained to not chew things while you are watching. While a fox is loose in the home, it takes constant supervision.
To conclude, foxes could make fascinating pets for those prepared to look after them. If you are looking at a dog fox, get into it together with your eyes available, seek information, and realize that taking care of a fox isn't like taking care of your dog.

"…Against all enemies, foreign and domestic…"/
On a hot August day in Lubbock, Texas, with my mother, grandmother and future wife present, I took the oath of commissioning to become a second lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force.
On that day, I swore "that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic."
At the time, I knew who the foreign enemies were, and I devoted over nine years of my life to defending my nation and its way of life from the Soviet Union, the Warsaw Pact, and rogue nations in the Middle East like Libya and Iraq.
I presumed the only domestic enemies of the Constitution were radicals and extremists who were well outside the mainstream of American thought.
Over time, however, I came to understand that anyone who sought to advance the power of government over the individual was an enemy of the Constitution.
Whenever you hear someone declare the Constitution outdated or inflexible, it is usually because it restricts them from using government as an instrument to impose their will on the people. Winston Churchill once said, "The rigidity of the Constitution of the United States is the shield of the common man."
In a 2001 radio interview, Barack Obama called the Constitution "a charter of negative liberties [that] says what the states can't do to you. Says what the Federal government can't do to you, but it doesn't say what the Federal government or State government must do on your behalf."
In fact, the Constitution says exactly what government is permitted to do on our behalf. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas declared, "The Constitution is not neutral. It was designed to take the government off the backs of people." President Andrew Johnson said:
"Outside of the Constitution we have no legal authority more than private citizens, and within it we have only so much as that instrument gives us. This broad principle limits all our functions and applies to all subjects."
Obama's problem with the Constitution is that it has no provisions for what he described in the interview as "redistributive change." - In other words, it doesn't give government permission to take your earnings or your possessions and give them to others in the name of social or economic "justice."
Benjamin Franklin said, "The U. S. Constitution doesn't guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. You have to catch up with it yourself." Where is the justice in forcibly taking from one and giving to another, regardless of the reason?
President Franklin Roosevelt shared Obama's disdain for the Constitution because the Supreme Court of his day blocked many of his New Deal reforms as unconstitutional. He even created a new freedom out of whole cloth, "freedom from want," to justify his expansion of government power over the citizen.
Author and libertarian philosopher G. Stolyarov II wrote:
"...Any claim to 'positive economic rights' of the sort Roosevelt advocates amounts to positive intervention with the liberties of some men so as to provide the goods and services which are forcibly redistributed to others under the pretext that those others have a 'right' to such goods and services."
No statement better sums up the intentions of the modern liberal movement and their political arm, the Democratic Party.
The Declaration of Independence established America's vision of a nation where all men are created equal and endowed by God with the right to life, liberty and to possess the fruits of one's labors. The Constitution is the defender of that vision and the guarantor of our rights. Patrick Henry, who famously declared "give me liberty or give me death," said:
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government - lest it come to dominate our lives and interests."
American statesman Henry Clay made it clear that "The Constitution of the United States was made not merely for the generation that then existed, but for posterity- unlimited, undefined, endless, perpetual posterity." Supreme Court justice Hugo Black said "Our Constitution was not written in the sands to be washed away by each wave of new judges blown in by each successive political wind."
Do not let stand the contention that the Constitution is somehow no longer applicable to our times.
Another Supreme Court justice, Felix Frankfurter, gave us wisdom that those who seek to use the courts as an end-run around the checks and balances provided by federalism and the separation of powers would do well to heed:
As a member of this court I am not justified in writing my private notions of policy into the Constitution, no matter how deeply I may cherish them or how mischievous I may deem their disregard.
Winston Churchill gave us the measures by which we can determine whether or not a person is a friend or foe when it comes to the Constitution:
"Does he value the State above the citizen, or the citizen above the State? Does a government exist for the individual, or do individuals exist for the government?"
It took the framers of the Constitution only six pages to establish the federal government; as historian Stephen Ambrose said, "The American Constitution is the greatest governing document, and at some 7,000 words, just about the shortest."
Our elected officials complain that it's unrealistic for us to expect them to read legislation of 1,000+ pages. If that's too much to ask of them, perhaps the federal government has exceeded its authority under the Constitution and is doing much, much more than the framers intended in those six pages they ratified in 1787.
I hung up my uniform for the last time 17 years ago, and it sits in my closet as a reminder of my service to the nation I love. The oath I took, however, is as relevant to me today as it was in the summer of 1982 when I first raised my hand before man and God.
The framers gave us, in the words of Benjamin Franklin, "A republic – if you can keep it." He didn't speak those words to a politician, but to an ordinary citizen on the street. Government officials take an oath to uphold the Constitution, but the responsibility to hold them accountable to that oath is ours and ours alone. The duty of vigilance and defense falls to us.
Let's recommit ourselves this Constitution Day to supporting and defending that timeless document against not just its enemies abroad, but also its enemies within. They are more numerous than you may imagine.

Hexcel revenues rise 10%
STAMFORD — Composite-materials manufacturer Hexcel reported this week rising revenues and profits, driven by across-the-board growth.
Fourth-quarter sales for the Stamford company totaled approximately $561 million, up about 10 percent year-over-year. Quarterly profits came to about $66 million, down 25 percent from a year ago. The fourth quarter of 2017 included some $22 million of benefits tied to U.S. tax reform.
For all of 2018, revenues totaled about $2.2 billion, up 11 percent from 2017. Full-year profits dropped about 3 percent, to $277 million.
"Our markets continue to strengthen in all areas," Nick Stanage, Hexcel's chairman, CEO and president, said in a statement. "Importantly, our team delivered productivity and efficiency improvements across the business, which mitigated some of the unexpected headwinds we encountered throughout the year."
Commercial aerospace sales totaled about $385 million, up 7 percent. New commercial aircraft programs, including business for the Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 Max, underpinned the growth.
Space and defense sales totaled about $98 million, a roughly 1 percent increase that reflected growing military and civil rotorcraft programs.
Industrial sales reached about $78 million, a 44 percent jump that pointed to growing wind-energy business.
Hexcel shares closed Thursday at about $66, up around 8 percent from its Wednesday finish.
The company is headquartered in downtown Stamford, with about 45 employees based at offices at 281 Tresser Blvd.

Some of my photographs are in an exhibition in Aberystwyth. Four other photographers have their work on show too….till the 7th June.
Some of my photographs are in an exhibition in Aberystwyth. Four other photographers have their work on show too….till the 7th June.
I was reminded of my visit to Kader Attia's installation in Malaga last year, entitled 'Ghost', when I recently saw a photograph of migrants wrapped in emergency foil 'blankets '. Attia's work was created to depict Muslim women at prayer.
However, I found the similarity of his work and this photograph striking; and this similarity was more about the overall scene as opposed to the precise message; gallery visitors walk past the installation, casually observing it, rather like allowing the 'migrant crisis' to be passed-by and not addressed in any significant way.
I was glad to get to the Gallery Talk by Linda Alterwitz and Ruth Thomas last night in Aberystwyth. They were opening a joint exhibition.
Linda Alterwitz is showing a number of photographs which layer physical landscapes with normally unseen human landscapes….those that are revealed by technological means – scans and x-rays.
These are intriguing. Its a show worth going to.
I was asked to photograph a friend's piece of work for submission to an exhibition. I hope he is successful!
We're really excited about the RPS exhibition this year because Aberystwyth's own Tim Strang was shortlisted from nearly…

This touring exhibition has just opened in the Aberystwyth Arts Centre. Its on till late January, so go and have a look.
Finalist in the RPS International Print Exhibition.
It is gratifying to be told that an image that I have captured has also been appreciated by others. I suppose that is what it means to me to succeed in this competition. I hope many others also appreciate it, and that the image provokes thought and contemplation.

Our Mission at Learning Tree Preschool Sewickley is to provide children with an educational program that enhances their socialization and cognitive skills and increases their self-esteem through academics and free play.
…that children are eager to enter.
…where children have free playtime to interact with peers and to make choices as to what they like to do.
…that is flexible and creative.
…where children are exposed to a variety of experiences in music, arts and crafts, literature, movement, communication, nutrition, indoor and outdoor play.
…where teachers are attentive to the needs of the children and respond to those needs in a loving way.
Established in September, 1980, in the basement of the Sewickley United Methodist Church, the Learning Tree Preschool was founded to fill a community need for an educational program for children of the area.
A core group of women from the SUMC formed the board of directors and created a non-denominational environment where children could play with one another; learn about art, music, and dance; and be introduced to preschool academics.
Learning Tree Preschool of Sewickley is a non-profit, non-denominational organization that is affiliated with the Sewickley United Methodist Church. The preschool is committed to offering a non-sectarian learning opportunity without regard to race, religion or ethnic background.
For registration forms and further information, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

When it comes to careers after high school or college, there are countless options to consider. Choosing a career path from this myriad of possibilities can be confusing and overwhelming to say the least, but Project InVEST can help simplify the process, introducing you to one rewarding and versatile industry you may not think to explore otherwise – the insurance industry.
Enrolling in a Project InVEST course will show you the exciting careers, flexible schedules and high earning potential the insurance industry offers. From actuaries and insurance agents to underwriters and claims adjusters, careers within the insurance industry cater to all different interests and strengths. Do you enjoy crunching numbers and conducting research? If so, you may be well suited for a career as an actuary, or business professional who mathematically analyzes the financial consequences of risk. Prefer communicating with people and solving problems? You may excel in a career as a customer service representative (CSR).
Although you may not realize it, careers in insurance aren't confined to the insurance industry – they are actually connected to just about every industry you can imagine. If you're interested in the entertainment industry, you could assess risks for a movie production company. If you're passionate about sports, you could provide insurance to professional athletes and sports teams.
Do you enjoy the popular Progressive ads featuring Flo? Love the Travelers Insurance commercials starring the dog that protects its bone in a safe deposit box? You could help brainstorm and market these ideas, or assist in filming and editing the commercials. In today's Internet-focused society, many insurance companies and agencies also require assistance designing and updating their websites, blogs, and even social networking sites, so you could be a web designer, content writer or social media manager. Even if selling insurance doesn't appeal to you, there are many other types of careers within the insurance industry that will allow you to embrace your interests and passions.
With so many stories about high unemployment rates dominating our news, the idea of securing a great career after high school or college can seem impossible, but the good news is that not every industry is struggling. In fact, the insurance industry is actually hiring. More than two million professionals are currently employed in the U.S. insurance and financial services industry, and in the next 10 years, because of the increasing number of insurance professionals approaching retirement age, 50 percent of those jobs will be available.
When it comes to landing one of these rewarding jobs, Project InVEST represents your first step. From risk management and home and auto insurance, to marketing and the cost of insurance, enrolling in an InVEST program will provide you with a wealth of insurance information, but insurance isn't the only subject you will cover. Project InVEST will also teach you invaluable business, communication, marketing, leadership and organizational skills that will help you become a successful professional after graduation.
Not only will completing an InVEST program introduce you to exciting career opportunities, but it also may help you and your parents finance college. Last year, Project InVEST awarded more than $47,000 in scholarships to InVEST graduates looking to pursue higher education in insurance and financial services or looking for assistance with licensing or designation fees. In 2012, the program will award $58,000 in scholarships to its graduates.
Whatever your passion may be, there is a career opportunity in the insurance industry that will allow you to embrace it. To determine which types of careers in insurance best suit your skills and interests, visit Project InVEST online at www.investprogram.org, where you can learn more about Project InVEST, find an InVEST program in your area, and browse job opportunities.

Workshop series September '18
Heather Betts
Workshop one
Monday 24 & Tuesday 25 September
Workshop two
Wednesday 26 & Thursday 27 September
Limited places still available
9.30am to 4.30pm
This engaging and important contemporary artist returns to Australia from working in Germany. Heather Betts will offer Hawthorn Artist Society member's workshops for groups of up to 16 participants, working in acrylic and mixed media.
Heather enjoys the physicality of paint and wants people to share that love of the materials, expressed as uninhibited, layers of mark making.
Workshop one - 24 and 25 Sept
Participants will work rapidly, influenced by Heather's energetic methods and enthusiasm; concentrating on layers, spontaneous gesture; overcoming perceived blocks and understanding colour.
Artists may be beginners, or established painters wanting to try alternative approaches.
Students will train the eye to recognise when things are working well; when specific techniques have been achieved; how to loosen up and also understanding when to stop!
Over the two days participants will produce a few, or even many new finished works, mainly on paper.
Workshop two - 26 and 27 Sept
This more advanced group will build on the previously introduced themes in order to build a body of work. Students should have experience of Heather's practice (perhaps in the earlier workshop), or have attended other expressive workshops and be familiar and at ease with the materials.
Skills will be taken further, and each student will be encouraged and inspired to develop their ideas more rigorously as a polished suite of related paintings in the 2 day period. Bring between 4 and 8 smaller canvases (pre primed) or quality paper/card, all of one size.
* (non member prices includes new HAS membership)
Please pay by credit card where possible, to avoid delays in having your place confirmed.

12 Cities Selected to Become New "Solar America Cities"
Image courtesy of Jimmy_Joe via flickr
Give credit where credit is due: the Bush administration DOE is moving forward with a plan to make available up to $2.4m to 12 so-called "Solar America Cities" (up to $200,000 for each) - cities that will receive funding and technical assistance to build a robust solar infrastructure. The 12 lucky winners include the California cities of San Jose, Santa Rosa and Sacramento; the Texas cities of Houston and San Antonio; the Minnesota cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul; Knoxville, Tennessee; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Denver, Colorado; Orlando, Florida; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Seattle, Washington.The projects that will be supported range from large-scale solar thermal plants to more individual applications, such as solar water heating and photovoltaic panels; in addition to the $2.4m, DOE will provide the equivalent of $3m in technical support to the 12 cities, sending in experts to help them integrate the technologies with their local zoning and energy planning regulations. This latest round of funding is the second in the program's history, with past recipients including some of the usual green suspects: Berkeley, San Francisco and Portland.
Yes, $200,000 probably seems like a penny in the bucket when you're talking about such large-scale projects (because it is), but it's still encouraging to see this administration slowly move towards supporting renewable energy. With (a lot of) luck, we'll see more such support over the coming months; one easy way for the administration to shift a lot more funding into this area would be to eliminate all those wasteful fossil fuel subsidies... right, who are we kidding?
