My colorful watercolor depicts an autumn view of the Isabel Lewando Estuary, a special spot where the Ogunquit River flows along the beach dunes connecting with the open sea. Tranquil and rich with life, it is the southern point of our local Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge and after a recent community ceremony in her honor, is now marked by a granite stone in memory of my friend and mentor, Isabel Lewando (1928-2011). It's no small feat to have conservation land that bears your name adjacent to the legendary environmentalist Rachel Carson. Isabel was an Ogunquit legend in her idiosyncratic way. The artist was a classic beauty and famed artist model who enjoyed a lively creative presence in the Ogunquit arts scene during the 1940's until her death. A genuine citizen scientist who loved her community and the local beach ecology, she is fondly remembered as an informed conservationist and activist for betterment.
Isabel told stories with an artist's eye and a poet's heart. She used her camera to illustrate her gift to observe beauty and natural things, and had an intuitive talent for writing about her simple philosophies related to nature, art, sustainability, and community. Locally, Isabel was a maternal influence to younger artists and knew the importance of mentoring. When she took you under her wing you could always count on her creative nurturing and enthusiasm for you and life. Young in spirit she remained curious to learn and try new things, even through her final years and longterm illness. There are many stories and memories of this remarkable woman that would fill volumes and hearts. Along with her iconic black artist beret, Isabel wore a necklace with beads that spelled, "art loves you". She would jiggle them and smile as she offered her cure-all blessing and a hug.
For me, Isabel mentored the strong interests we shared in conservation and community arts. During the years I coordinated the piping plover endangered species project on Ogunquit Beach she helped me learn to be an activist and the value of being well-informed on what matters to me and our community. When I first began Art HOPE she was in cancer treatment and would attend our programs at York Hospital. She was an early participant in the project and my grassroots steps to establish the non-profit organization. The youth interns at our programs loved her artful antics and origami folding. Most of all, my mentor Isabel taught me to believe in myself and to stand up for what I believe and speak for out for change in a way that educates and brings people together.
Mentors are the friends, teachers and nurturing relationships that help us be ourselves at our best. They promote learning and the development of our talents, brilliant ideas, and dreams. November 1st is All Saint's Day, when we remember those loved who have passed. This is a wonderful moment to remember a loved mentor and to do something that makes the world a better place in their honor. Every visit to the Isabel Lewando Estuary at the Footbridge Beach in Ogunquit reminds me of my friend and I am once again inspired.

Funky Fixtures: A Lesson in Kitchen Lighting
Kitchens come in all shapes, sizes and colors. They come in a wide variety of personalities and finishes. This is what makes designing a kitchen so fun! One detail that can bring the space together is lighting. Choosing the right lighting is everything. And one spot to highlight for great lighting is the island. This can become an anchor point for your kitchen. Some prefer a few bigger pendants, others prefer multiple smaller pendants. I've highlighted a few of my favorites in this post.
Design: Noelle Interiors | Image: Jason Cook | 2030 Haze
Two large pedants is always a good idea! I love this look for so many reasons. It anchors the room and the large scale brings a good amount of visual weight. Choose two that have a similar finish with the hardware. Or choose something entirely different for a unique, modern look all your own.
Design: Westward Foundry | 4600 Organic White
If you want to go really playful, add a track with a number of lights! This is such a fun look and creates a very industrial feel.
Design: Cook Design House | 5131 Calacatta Nuvo
I normally love to design things around the number three. Three small to medium sized pendants is another winning decision. This works fantastic when displaying lights above a really large island. And again, choose a finish that will knock your socks off and make a statement!
Design: June Eight Studio | 5131 Calacatta Nuvo
Speaking of finishes, some of my favorite options are brass, matte black, copper, chrome and powder coated white or black. These copper pendants look fantastic up against this black and white kitchen. It's all about mixing and matching in the name of taste!

The Legend of Long Jon is an episode from the second season of Garfield and Friends.
During a trip to Yorktown, Jon finds out that he has an ancestor who was apparently a traitor.
During a trip around Yorktown, Garfield, Jon and Odie are exploring when they come across a statue of George Washington. Jon then says it would be exciting to discover that he had an ancestor from the Revolutionary War just as a mob of people emerge and chase him and the pets off.
Eventually leading to an alley the three find shelter in a museum thanks to the curator and librarian Mr. Marion. Jon then asks why was the mob after him to which the curator directs him to a picture of a pirate that resembles him. Marion tells the pirate is Jon's ancestor Captain Long Jon Arbuckle a traitor to the U.S. He then shows relics from his ship and then his diary which tells about his recent exploits about stealing some maps from the country. Garfield and Odie open up the diary and go to the log for 10/7/1781.
Long Jon states that on that day he and his crew spotted the USS Endeavor and planned to rob it since there were no other ships due to the Battle of Yorktown. Quickly he and his men raided and captured the ship while his cat ate all the food supplies from apples, flour, honey, even a barrel of clams that initially spit water at him. Long Jon meanwhile rummaged through the Endeavor's personal belongings which included maps written by George Washington. He knew they were vital to winning the Revolutionary War but he took them anyway.
At that point Odie drools on some of the blank pages of the diary much to Marion and Jon's shock. To their surprise, more writing emerges from the blank pages leading Marion to believe the writing is in invisible ink and Odie's slurping is bringing it out. After Odie slurps more of the pages finishing the diary, Jon continues the story.
Long Jon explains that he wrote the rest of the writing in invisible ink because George Washington wanted to keep the events of the Endeavor a secret. Knowing that there was something off about the maps and the general suspicion surrounding the Endeavor, Long Jon and his crew found out the Endeavor was actually captured by the British and the maps were fake. Because of this, George Washington made Long Jon and his crew spies for the U.S. The general gave him a letter of accommodation to Long Jon would prove his loyalty to the colonies. He then gave the letter to his cat to keep it safe just was he was about to go for another clam who again spits water in his face.
To his delight Jon finds his ancestor wasn't a traitor and in truth was a spy for George Washington. At that moment the mob of people enter the museum and chase Jon throughout the area. Garfield and Odie realize in order for the mob to believe in him they have to find the letter of accommodation. Going through the relics, Garfield spots his eyes on the cat dish. Meanwhile Mr. Marion tells the mob about the recent discovery about Long Jon to which the they initially don't believe. Garfield then hands Marion the dish and reveals it to have a false bottom where the letter is found in a secret compartment.
Later one of the mob members give Garfield, Jon, Odie and Marion a bowl of clams as an apology for the misunderstanding. Marion later announces they'll open a museum dedicated to Long Jon Arbuckle and Jon is delighted that they changed history for the better. Garfield goes for the clams only for one to spit water on him like his ancestor. He then concludes that somethings never change as the whole bowl of clams spit water on him as well.

In particular, he notes that the book's "ceremonies symbolize" its "moral teaching." Furthermore, its "morality grows out of the liturgical habits it instills."

OnTheGo entrepreneur Mick Spencer reels in three sharks on Network Ten's Shark Tank
Mick Spencer, the founder of apparel brand OnTheGo Sports, showed his entrepreneurship to land deals with three of Australia's leading business heavyweights in front of a national TV audience on Sunday night.
Spencer's appearance on Channel 10's Shark Tank saw the 25-year-old founder of OnTheGo negotiate an offer for a 30% stake in his Canberra-based company.
In doing so Spencer lured three 'sharks' into the same business deal on a program known for the savaging it can give aspiring entrepreneurs who dare to enter its unpredictable waters.
Boost Juice founder Janine Allis, Talent2 International's Andrew Banks and tech start-up multi-millionaire Steve Baxter each made individual bids until Spencer persuaded them to form a combined offer of $600,000.
He had gone onto the program seeking half that amount for a 10% equity stake and left the sharks impressed by how much he had achieved by his mid-20s.
Banks told Spencer "you showed your mettle today. If you run your business that well, you'll make a lot of money." After hearing his business presentation, Allis added "you're going to succeed."
Spencer founded his multi-million dollar custom-made sportswear company OnTheGo at age 21 and is growing the reach of his company globally within a $200 billion industry.
Shark Tank used Spencer, along with two other leisure entrepreneurs, to launch its 2016 series. Spencer told the sharks his company's competitive edge lay in sending factory-direct sports apparel to the customer.
He said the TV coverage was "a chance for Australia and the world to see what work we've been doing, and where we're going.
"I've watched the show for years from the US, and when it hit Australia I thought it would be exciting to go on "It's an incredible experience.
Being able to pitch your start-up to a room of entrepreneurs collectively worth more than $1 billion, and get live feedback and critical analysis on your business, is truly priceless.
"I'm so excited to be able show the nation the hard work that my team has put into this cause, day in, day out.
"We're at a great point. Being a few years in, we've built our model and concept, and done it off the smell of an oily rag and now we're going to explode."
Spencer's business interest grew from a passion for adventure sports such as mountain biking despite a severe heart condition that nearly killed him.
He now runs his business based on four principles: purpose, people, planet and profit. The company partners with humanitarian organisations to provide underprivileged children in Australia and the Pacific Islands access to sport.
In the style of a true 'bootstrapping' entrepreneur, Spencer launched the business from his parents' house with $150 after a gap-year.
His big break came when he supplied 250 cycling jerseys to Goulburn Mulwaree Council in a quick – and some would say risky – turnaround of less than a month.
Since then he has rubbed shoulders with Richard Branson and counts former David Jones Chief Executive Paul Zahra as his mentor.
OnTheGo sportswear hangs in David Jones stores under the DundasFit active wear label and is available in shopping centres through revolutionary 'Customiz Stations', which allow people to design and order their own custom-made sportswear and uniforms online.
The company has a presence in China, India and Fiji.

Hewlett-Packard's better-than-expected earnings and outlook could be a plus for stocks, which will also key off of Wal-Mart's earnings, inflation data and weekly jobless claims on Thursday.
Hewlett-Packard's profits rose 25 percent, and the company raised its forecast for the year in an after-the-bell report. For the quarter, HP earned $1.10 per share, excluding items, compared to an estimated $1.06 on revenues of $31.2 billion, well above the expected $30 billion. HP said its share of the pc market grew by 4 percent. Rival Dell reports after Thursday's bell.
Stocks traded in a narrow range Wednesday but finished higher for a second day. The Dow was up 40, or 0.4 percent to 10,309, while the S&P 500 was up 4 at 1099.
Despite the move higher since Tuesday, Execution LLC's Tim Smalls says the recent down swing may continue for a bit, but there's been a reprieve this week. "I don't thnk it's over...We went down 9 percent which was two percent less than what we had been calling for, and I think for as long as we can stay above 1053/10555 on the S and P, then we're in a trading range. If we break below that then we're still in correction phase," he said.
"People are on vacation. Schools are closed, and we have options expirations," he said, adding that volume was lighter this week than last week. "...The momentum is higher because the path of least resistance is higher right now."
Smalls said HP could help the market Thursday. "(Earnings) numbers have been really surprisingly good. Even the guidance that has been cautious hasn't been bad," he said. He noted Deere, which reported Wednesday, also beat forecasts and raised its outlook for 2010, driving its stock 5 percent higher.
Whither Stocks
Ed Keon says the earnings story is one reason to stay somewhat bullish on stocks for the time being. Or in his case, he describes his view for the past six months as "nervously bullish."
"I would expect at least another several quarters of pretty good profit growth," said Keon, who is managing director and portfolio manager at Quantitative Management Associates.
"We're a little overweight stocks relative to bonds and within stocks, we tilt toward higher beta areas like emerging markets," he said. He also likes tech because of the exposure to the global economy. "They've got good growth prospects. Valuations are a premium compared to the broad market but you're getting well-managed companies with strong productivity growth and strong balance sheets," he said.
One sector that is difficult to gauge is the financial sector. "How much profit is going both be constrained by new rules and regulations and increasing capital requirements? Nobody knows yet. That's still a big concern, a big unknown.," he said.
Keon expects the market to continue to move higher over the course of the year. "Our sense is the economy is recovering at a modest clip. We're in line with the consensus, but there's maybe a bit more potential for upside than downside," he said.
"We're not pounding the table by any means, but we think the upside is greater than the downside risk, but the downside risk is all around us..Somehow I think Greece, our financial crisis, political paralysis in the United States.. are all connected. The developed world had a wonderful period of growth after World War II a, the baby boom and the unprecedented several decades of peace and prosperity. Now we're facing an aging population and slower growth, relative to other parts of the world, and it's a lot easier to doel out slices of a growing pie than it is to deal out slices in a shrinking pie," he said.
As a result, he said investors will have to be more nimble and not just rely on things like the traditional 60/40 stocks to bond portfolio balance. For instance, he had recommended overweighting commodities but recently pulled back a bit on that recommendation.
What Else to Watch
Weekly jobless claims and the January producer price index are released at 8:30 a.m. The Philadelphia Fed Survey is released at 10 a.m. Besides Wal-mart, Apache Oil, AXA, Barrick Gold, Noble Energy, Williams Cos, and Hormel report before the bell. Intuit, Dell and CBS report after the close.
Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart speaks at 7 p.m. in Augusta, Ga., and St. Louis Fed President James Bullard speaks at the Economics Club of Memphis.
President Obama meets with the Dalai Lama at the White House.
Fed Ahead
The Fed's disclosure of minutes from its last meeting Wednesday afternoon sent ripples through the bond market, as traders debated whether the Fed would move sooner or later to unwind some of its emergency programs through asset sales and other moves. The report showed the Fed's next move will probably be an increase in the discount rate, the rate the Fed charges on emegency lons to banks.
"I think the market got a little shaken by the minutes and how strong the side is that wants to undo the balance sheet, and how strong they feel about it. There's going to be a battle," said John Spinello, Treasury strategist at Jefferies and Co.
"You've got (Fed Chairman Ben) Bernanke and (New York Fed President William) Dudley, who probably don't want to do it immediately, and on the other side you have (Kansas City Fed President Thomas) Hoenig and whoever else is on he hawkish side who wants to get t the stuff off the balance sheet as fast as they can," he said.
Treasurys fell on the day, with the yield on the 10-year rising to 3.742 percent, its highest level since Jan. 13.
