ShowPDX: A Decade of Portland Furniture Design
October 31, 2014 – Jan 31, 2015
ShowPDX Innovative + Functional Furniture Design is a biennial exhibit presented by fix studio. Show2014 displays over 60 examples of unusual and stimulating furniture design while providing designers/fabricators/makers with a place and resource for peer and public recognition, support and dialogue.
In 2001, small group exhibits by local designers and fabricators inspired the birth of a regular venue for furniture design in Portland. Created by designers Jennifer Jako and Christopher Bleiler of fix studio, Show2002 was the first of its kind in Portland. The exhibit was a curated show of furniture design, featuring local designers, fabricators, and makers. Through the spirit and support of the ShowPDX curatorial group, Show2014 continues to fuel collaboration, inspire students, create dialog amongst colleagues, promote business and inspire events by other independent designers and regional designers at locations across the country.
In October, Show2014 opens to the public. ShowPDX: A Decade of Portland Furniture Design at Museum of Contemporary Craft is the first retrospective of this landmark, juried invitational. The exhibition will bring together ten-years of ShowPDX, showcasing the evolution of furniture design in Portland.

A large church some way from its village. A good collection of 16th and 17th Century continental glass, and a quite remarkable set of 14th Century stalls.
Found some lost photos of the Church today. They're all available as fine art prints, just visit benbenvie.com

In just ten minutes you have the short route over the Atlantic, overcome with the ferry. The sea was calm and the weather was beautiful. Iona is a small island that has been seen quickly but can never get enough. Fine sand and coarse rocks alternate and appear together in the cold blue sea

In a picturesque setting beside the crossing of the River Eamont in Cumbria, Brougham Castle was founded in the early 13th century. This great keep largely survives, amid many later buildings - including the unusual double gatehouse and impressive 'Tower of League'.
Both a formidable barrier against Scots invaders and a prestigious residence, the castle welcomed Edward I in 1300. A complex of passages and spiral stairways makes Brougham a fascinating castle to explore, as well as an ideal picnic setting for a family day out.
The top of the keep provides panoramic views over the Eden Valley.
The site of Brougham Castle has been fortified since the Romans erected the fort of Brocavum at the intersection of three Roman roads. With the rivers Eamont and Lowther flowing nearby and meeting to the west, the site had natural defences and the area was fertile and easy to cultivate. A civilian settlement grew around the fort. When Angles arrived in the area they named the place Brougham, meaning "the village by the fort". Between the end of Roman rule in the early 5th century and the Norman Conquest in the late 11th century, Cumbria was a turbulent area. Although the site was a defendable position, there is no evidence that Brougham was refortified during this time. In 1092, William II (also known as William Rufus) captured Cumbria south of the Solway Firth and established a new border far north of Brougham. The site at Brougham remained unfortified. Carlisle Castle secured the border, and castles at Appleby and Brough, both south east of Brougham, protected the line of communication from Carlisle to Yorkshire. In 1203, the Barony of Westmorland – containing Appleby, Brough, and Brougham – was granted to Robert de Vieuxpont by King John. A favourite of John's, Vieuxpont was one of only a few lords loyal to him in northern England, whose inhabitants became so discontented with the king's rule that they eventually rebelled. Around 1214, Vieuxpont asserted control over more land, including half the manor of Brougham. It was in this atmosphere of unrest that Brougham Castle was founded.

The Hundred of Cotton was declared in 1894 but no surveying took place until 1904. Farming land was sold in 1905 with nearest town to be Parrakie on the Pinnaroo railway. In 1913 the local Methodists decided to build a church to be used as a state school. This floundered. Later that year the locals decided to build a public hall which could be used for church services and would have financial support from all denominations. A farmer donated some land for it. The hall opened late in 1913. The Hundred of Cotton School opened in the hall in January 1914. The school closed in 1945 with the opening of Lameroo Area School. The hall was enlarged in 1928 and the old hall was demolished in 1960 and a new Besser block hall built. Almost since its inception the hall was used for Methodist Church services and from 1939 the hall was the regular venue of the CWA. Prior to that the Women’s Agricultural Bureau had met in the hall. The new hall was still being used by the CWA and the Uniting Church in the 1980s. The adjacent tennis courts were established in 1927 and in 1973 a small Besser block club room was erected. The courts are clearly no longer in use.

The first of thousands of trees planned for a major study of the effects of trees and other plants on health was planted on the grounds of Semple Elementary School in Louisville.
The planting of a catalpa tree kicks off a collaboration between Green Heart Louisville, Semple and the Compassionate Schools Project.
Students from the school welcomed the tree with songs, spoken word and messages about kindness that were placed in the ground with the tree's roots.
The Bay of Kotor is a winding bay of the Adriatic Sea in southwestern Montenegro.
The bay is a ria of the vanished Bokelj River that used to run from the high mountain plateaus of Mount Orjen.
The bay is about 28 km long with a shoreline of 107.3 km. It is surrounded by two massifs of the Dinaric Alps: the Orjen mountains to the west, and the Lovćen mountains to the east.
The narrowest section of the bay, the 2300 m long Verige Strait, is only 340 m wide at its narrowest point.
The bay has been inhabited since antiquity. Its well-preserved medieval towns of Kotor, Risan, Tivat, Perast, Prčanj and Herceg Novi, along with their natural surroundings, are major tourist attractions. Natural and Culturo-Historical Region of Kotor has been a World Heritage Site since 1979.
