I was pleased with the bowls with the water image and the cups to go with them. The plates everyone approves of with generous comments but I feel I am too literal with my images and need to be more subtle. I know I made them for Drift who wanted a Straddie theme but for my own sake I need to work on the images.<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2mU_m63qYiVvxyKYOjlgwtPHLQIbpFkn-YRpe5KfQGzcXqNgWPwxo4mVYKEneYNEU7Yygaxc-YSXs0aDQNBKQFklfVbQpSWZRHC3zzgkNyIPWXltQKrXzp_F6wC2N_xUje0klSExMQME4/s640/blogger-image--564046332.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2mU_m63qYiVvxyKYOjlgwtPHLQIbpFkn-YRpe5KfQGzcXqNgWPwxo4mVYKEneYNEU7Yygaxc-YSXs0aDQNBKQFklfVbQpSWZRHC3zzgkNyIPWXltQKrXzp_F6wC2N_xUje0klSExMQME4/s640/blogger-image--564046332.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4nPmxtBfaJ6xeGZiQ4LQshwr0uXrU6SKhw0S6l2Jp-F9_c1Qce1_dDQbKOdfyU6YcnqgYiMMm99OVX3SNstoOnWzWrmI3txDCPYZVVbHkKWtRSLGTFHuvpyr0Sr89KFjvRj0DZh9eBOOL/s640/blogger-image--752253963.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4nPmxtBfaJ6xeGZiQ4LQshwr0uXrU6SKhw0S6l2Jp-F9_c1Qce1_dDQbKOdfyU6YcnqgYiMMm99OVX3SNstoOnWzWrmI3txDCPYZVVbHkKWtRSLGTFHuvpyr0Sr89KFjvRj0DZh9eBOOL/s640/blogger-image--752253963.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The plates are a good size and didn't warp so that was pleasing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi_W-6IL6ejpngL93XkGIqLJM6M4IgL2iKpZPpuUt5-xwQUP3K9fMmZpUzAGCfdzPS4467mJ5lxbdcq1aJ4_WfyZKqM6HMFvcJPp_be4ZZo4Dq7QHGYZOI18FxaIQng2b4eMVWKJR8TK8h/s640/blogger-image-1630733857.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi_W-6IL6ejpngL93XkGIqLJM6M4IgL2iKpZPpuUt5-xwQUP3K9fMmZpUzAGCfdzPS4467mJ5lxbdcq1aJ4_WfyZKqM6HMFvcJPp_be4ZZo4Dq7QHGYZOI18FxaIQng2b4eMVWKJR8TK8h/s640/blogger-image-1630733857.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2Td4QPNtp4-e5USTJ8LhTa3ivaqMXdWw27jL0hek81b8uyRDh9JPblU38VsJLXVwheC0rQ64Cq8_hpvsnE6mEdrM4FnEvT9WM3-Of0WUUIx_a1UW7SoCTpk8vT3_PLtrsvVFHzl7ag6ZA/s640/blogger-image-1454050301.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2Td4QPNtp4-e5USTJ8LhTa3ivaqMXdWw27jL0hek81b8uyRDh9JPblU38VsJLXVwheC0rQ64Cq8_hpvsnE6mEdrM4FnEvT9WM3-Of0WUUIx_a1UW7SoCTpk8vT3_PLtrsvVFHzl7ag6ZA/s640/blogger-image-1454050301.jpg"></a></div>Jennie from Drift was pleased to have them all and is setting up the gallery with new stock for Easter, so hopefully there will be a few sales.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The other series, "Brown Lake", I have decided to keep for the markets as I had completed only one plate and want equal numbers to go with the bowls and cups.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR4nWTcQ3LynrcSYH0TXSz37SAl0qlp0v_W04TpNM0J_mErfGEA4rmkyHOnDLUul6bGH7qUjv4OPr7ejskkn9pROatjvEBnZc2x413OEtlyJwBRQ0WE4g8m4ExOEJXBkKNas6oPN4ryALp/s640/blogger-image-29048049.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR4nWTcQ3LynrcSYH0TXSz37SAl0qlp0v_W04TpNM0J_mErfGEA4rmkyHOnDLUul6bGH7qUjv4OPr7ejskkn9pROatjvEBnZc2x413OEtlyJwBRQ0WE4g8m4ExOEJXBkKNas6oPN4ryALp/s640/blogger-image-29048049.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Brown Lake series.

Above is a view of a few of the buildings from the early settlements, the long white building is the penitentiary that housed the convicts in the early 1800's.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The island is under the care of the National Parks and the cells of the penitentiary are rented out to visitors. There are 6 bunks in each room hat once housed 66 convicts which I find hard to believe as the rooms were small. We had to carry everything in with us, food, crockery, utensils, bedding although there were a couple of rainwater tanks but we had to boil the water. There was a large mess hall where convicts ate and it had electricity and gas burners but there was no power in the cells. So unless you had candles you went to bed early.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDLDs-InS6p4jeTG0c4CqTYtjTaRt3QMI-OjpSE3gsnVZWpkwOG3m4NdurXKQBonxOPwfnwsdbd2mKEGOhncHLrrdjUky1tB-1D6IA9VoNi2hgIoZU4Iu6XujGl1NuoekrMhtwlo0ANnmG/s640/blogger-image--1637988161.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDLDs-InS6p4jeTG0c4CqTYtjTaRt3QMI-OjpSE3gsnVZWpkwOG3m4NdurXKQBonxOPwfnwsdbd2mKEGOhncHLrrdjUky1tB-1D6IA9VoNi2hgIoZU4Iu6XujGl1NuoekrMhtwlo0ANnmG/s640/blogger-image--1637988161.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Couple of old convicts outside their cell</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2ylSgnh08XaOpO7GnWbj4IRX4bj6qMMa1ZGidl5K-MbO-HkOwfV5JNO4K3hOLWjZsIdUj_LmbwPVbRiMyQXuYZojRnEvW64qoAbpBCxtHF2RZAL2xOU3diCsUeKEpcCBiSePqzSUNsOrE/s640/blogger-image-1381377339.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2ylSgnh08XaOpO7GnWbj4IRX4bj6qMMa1ZGidl5K-MbO-HkOwfV5JNO4K3hOLWjZsIdUj_LmbwPVbRiMyQXuYZojRnEvW64qoAbpBCxtHF2RZAL2xOU3diCsUeKEpcCBiSePqzSUNsOrE/s640/blogger-image-1381377339.jpg"></a></div></div>We stayed for three days and it was memorable. So quiet without any motor vehicles and there were many walks on the island from the Painted Cliffs, sandstone cliffs stained with iron; huge numbers of fossils at another lot of cliffs; ruins everywhere, of convict buildings and failed ventures; old brick kilns; and tough walks up mountains to spectacular views.

Speaking of anonymous comments, I was lucky that I read the comment as lately I have been inundated with annoying, anonymous, rubbish comments sometimes as many as sixty a day and my response is to send them to trash without even reading them.

There was a very good article on it in an old Australian Journal of Ceramics issue 43 #1 2004, by Anne Geroe which I have found very helpful. The Clayshed at Maroochydore sells it at $41.25 for a 10k bag, it is $36.85 at Walkers in Victoria. I looked up pottery supplies and they don't have it listed but if their Southern Ice Porcelain is nearly $10 dearer than Clayshed's price then I expect it would be even more if I ordered it through them. I wonder why they are so much more expensive.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkNAMgZsnFyEpEP-sjjv5b-lhDISB1UvbdTn2OZp6WisPU3cmR3tHEI12oGPdMzg4pVGR292x5DcULvn0ZM3j3TbBrY4emozYQfixq5ILrkP4c8jyBHrm8Gsuita0-iuFQPpQOnuDPjBIu/s640/blogger-image--1539849710.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkNAMgZsnFyEpEP-sjjv5b-lhDISB1UvbdTn2OZp6WisPU3cmR3tHEI12oGPdMzg4pVGR292x5DcULvn0ZM3j3TbBrY4emozYQfixq5ILrkP4c8jyBHrm8Gsuita0-iuFQPpQOnuDPjBIu/s640/blogger-image--1539849710.jpg"></a></div>Is it real?

Too late for the markets this year but still plodding on. I am currently casting pigeons from a mould I made a few years ago.

I made a few of them several years ago and they sold so well that I have none left now.

I could have titled it "Falling Flat" as I was very disappointed with it both in depth and in execution in some areas. It is being talked about non stop but that's is due to its being a commission and we, the tax payers, have paid for it and the gallery wants to talk it up I expect. We, the taxpayers, also have to pay to get in as well which would be fine if it was worth it.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfuoQd9O_rngzOYTjh2YC69be-7avQ9yJ3L6ic0BZZEeSmdh6B_6ZfpEVsuXx-Yl0O-wSMq8mxB8l_Yq8zT3NlgKDZ_vArfLo-ru-hJYXw-jiwgacJ3U6foI99yae3keQKxtwPQ9DKje3H/s640/blogger-image--177493648.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfuoQd9O_rngzOYTjh2YC69be-7avQ9yJ3L6ic0BZZEeSmdh6B_6ZfpEVsuXx-Yl0O-wSMq8mxB8l_Yq8zT3NlgKDZ_vArfLo-ru-hJYXw-jiwgacJ3U6foI99yae3keQKxtwPQ9DKje3H/s640/blogger-image--177493648.jpg"></a></div>The first room we entered was the installation Heritage 2013, a selection of 99 animal replicas made from styrofoam and goat hide based on an image that came to the artist on a visit to North Stradbroke Island. The sand was also from Straddie. The size of the installation was impressive taking up the entire room, there was a hushed feel about the room with people whispering. Often the animals feet didn't touch the sand which spoiled the illusion and with each animal being made of the same painted white goat hair gave it a fake look.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Qq2fsWKhQsYq1aOotbqa1CVGjJbkOsX5QYWpSOxhW7Jnb2gg6KdFl9PT0QJUpUMj1XemsFujpQaFumz7YEJRhG2jijRafl-wunILRzTJxC_AoIMG5r7WRDPO_tamLX-w2Q1Joot19dBS/s640/blogger-image--1309379300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Qq2fsWKhQsYq1aOotbqa1CVGjJbkOsX5QYWpSOxhW7Jnb2gg6KdFl9PT0QJUpUMj1XemsFujpQaFumz7YEJRhG2jijRafl-wunILRzTJxC_AoIMG5r7WRDPO_tamLX-w2Q1Joot19dBS/s640/blogger-image--1309379300.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The meaning of the dead dingoes was all a bit too simple and there was no pausing to try and see what the artist was trying to say.<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGvxVttiG_wLp9HlHopryqWkw6m1IVIuXA6C_uiaQYExPqkxBaitzgOfUlxsonGKNOYpmC0leOYT5_YsoAm7p-HirjDIAzkdvURTacJdyD7aI-1v6roQSNqeS_O66Pr-EuioaRQEthok4K/s640/blogger-image--1056528986.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGvxVttiG_wLp9HlHopryqWkw6m1IVIuXA6C_uiaQYExPqkxBaitzgOfUlxsonGKNOYpmC0leOYT5_YsoAm7p-HirjDIAzkdvURTacJdyD7aI-1v6roQSNqeS_O66Pr-EuioaRQEthok4K/s640/blogger-image--1056528986.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Large eucalyptus trees were also part of the exhibition and I felt the meaning was too obvious as well. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">They were beautiful in themselves as you can see from the photo but the whole exhibition didn't engage me emotionally.

He is one of two who makes handmade mozzarella in Australia and sells at the Powerhouse markets in Brisbane and Noosa markets. He can't keep up supplies for the demand.

Instead of throwing bowls and then having to wait until the next day for turning them now at I am so pressed for time I thought I might be able to cast bowls in between doing other work. <div> </div><div>Below is my plan for making the mould. I am trying a new method and it is much easier than the way I was taught using wooden frames.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0VazSS0rb3OMzMfL3KUgYiTBFb6KyXOCbLZ4Qw1ff0zrZSRx3klLNF5dMy3s5ascEo8ox3pjlzcAgnw_iMG3ZPM_bWRV5QxHb9uUdH8mABnHJaQpe-DBKYUUKi_OUkAv6k6IrYgFx5-lV/s640/blogger-image--293874808.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0VazSS0rb3OMzMfL3KUgYiTBFb6KyXOCbLZ4Qw1ff0zrZSRx3klLNF5dMy3s5ascEo8ox3pjlzcAgnw_iMG3ZPM_bWRV5QxHb9uUdH8mABnHJaQpe-DBKYUUKi_OUkAv6k6IrYgFx5-lV/s640/blogger-image--293874808.jpg"></a></div></div><div>The details are above but in case it isn't easily read I will repeat it.</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I threw the shape I desired upside down. I then rolled a coil and secured that onto the batt outside the shape. With a wooden tool I made a groove in the coil and placed some stiff but flexible plastic into the groove. I secure the plastic by turning the wheel and pressing both inside and out. The plastic is an old folder that I cut into strips. I made sure the plastic overlapped considerably and placed clips on the top where they overlapped to hold them. String was then wound around the outside, not pulling it so that it bent the plastic but to hold it securely when the mould was filled with plaster. I didn't bother to put soap on the batt for easy separation between the batt and the plaster which I really should have done as it would have made it easier. Plaster doesn't stick to clay so that was ok.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I mixed the plaster and poured it into the mould well above the shape and let it harden. I then removed the string and outside clay coil, the plastic and the rest of the clay. The tricky bit was getting the mould off the batt but it wasn't too difficult for the bowl, the bigger plate wasn't easy.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgght7UxteuJQHI7UaxeJdi4dj5SSWsgEz1MItW1HmAKg1wtOd9jhv36QhZbZWRSsonV08LKz4oNHzQi3H2oTUWZ1Rr91NOeN2CERAEhKDxXaBYqwUS3yJaPSRECZDCxIcz-ZZhxBjPRkEp/s640/blogger-image-97445258.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgght7UxteuJQHI7UaxeJdi4dj5SSWsgEz1MItW1HmAKg1wtOd9jhv36QhZbZWRSsonV08LKz4oNHzQi3H2oTUWZ1Rr91NOeN2CERAEhKDxXaBYqwUS3yJaPSRECZDCxIcz-ZZhxBjPRkEp/s640/blogger-image-97445258.jpg"></a></div>It makes a neat mould this way.

She's very keen for more work before Christmas, I haven't enough hands or time. The markets return more money quickly which sets me up for supplies for the next year and I'm reluctant to give them up but it would be nice to make work for Drift and not have the pressure of the markets.<div><br></div><div>Jennie suggested whales, turtles etc, etc. I cringed but she said island themes just walk on out of the gallery and I know that from previous experience. So the old soul is up for sale again it seems, it's not as bad as that really but i don't like repeating myself. I am trying a couple of pieces to see how I feel.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhee9TwR_98IuWIc40S6eYjqV5BXjfLb82_GCwmWkuAkg5Eu1I7QtmxaRgPsX1AE7olhyphenhyphenkG0xTDFCx533ghrRbLFULByzCQMp6pZO0w5amvHxFgMK9HcXi2hyphenhyphen87_8C82XFXdjUoM3xhZjCp/s640/blogger-image--281584244.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhee9TwR_98IuWIc40S6eYjqV5BXjfLb82_GCwmWkuAkg5Eu1I7QtmxaRgPsX1AE7olhyphenhyphenkG0xTDFCx533ghrRbLFULByzCQMp6pZO0w5amvHxFgMK9HcXi2hyphenhyphen87_8C82XFXdjUoM3xhZjCp/s640/blogger-image--281584244.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>I poured this T/C mould above too large for its original purpose so coated it with white slip and sgraffito-ed.....yes you guessed....it a whale.

Gazing over the sgraffito may fix that I hope. I plan to single fire the T/C to save cost and lower the price.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It looks like my following the nesting and future chicks of the curlew has hit a disheartening spot. I hadn't seen them around for a couple of days and upon exploring the park I found this sad sight below. I don't know if it's the male, female or juvenile. I have seen two curlews but they are back hiding in my neighbour's yard and not nesting.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivn-LZibO_tTht_vXN7J4aZLXR7pFitJ3km4FCDtWSI3G17hl_34gbew3MNS2-KpLFvqHxYcAD4J8XxMjlxizyl1SouAMrPmkj2eLQG-l01h3-6jH2dX2ay1zsmbgkKqpiDaP3eKVvRCen/s640/blogger-image-1127943899.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivn-LZibO_tTht_vXN7J4aZLXR7pFitJ3km4FCDtWSI3G17hl_34gbew3MNS2-KpLFvqHxYcAD4J8XxMjlxizyl1SouAMrPmkj2eLQG-l01h3-6jH2dX2ay1zsmbgkKqpiDaP3eKVvRCen/s640/blogger-image-1127943899.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">After posting the image on Facebook on the Bush Stone Curlew page, Scott, the Phd student studying them said he thought it was hit by a car, but I find that hard to believe being so far from the road. I thought it may be the " %#¥%^"cats that are left to run wild next door.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> We have peewees on a nest outside our gate in the camphor laurel. I knew they were there as one pooped on my head from the nest, yes I then looked up foolishly but didn't cop one in the eye luckily. The masked lapwings, or plovers as we know them, are nesting out in the open and screech with an ear splitting noise if you approach. By the look of the spurs on their wings I don't go too close. On a trip to Main Beach the other evening the beach is still littered with hundreds of shearwaters. The sight and the smell is dreadful. Flocks of bossy looking terns are congregating on the beach to rest and feed before heading south, I love the look of these birds and its interesting to observe their pecking order. I took lots of photos and will sift through them and post them later.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">With some of my earnings from the Drift exhibition I splurged impulsively and bought myself a quilt from Drift. The quilts are made by Bangladesh women from antique saris, there were all sorts of colours and designs but this is the first one I looked at and the haphazard saris with patches and different saris on the reverse was instant attraction. I'm not usually a bright floral person but these quilts are so unselfconscious and obviously made in non factory surroundings that I just had to have one. Below is my quilt with a Fergus Stewart salt glazed bowl he made in Bendigo when I was there for the National Conference, it goes very well with the quilt don't you think.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhidDwTPmWktGA6EB0C1EofAQ_gg1MMRkKWt3_Lk4OGKOOuDvYyPXlEg1RzjKaia1PraQxZTnKv90c17NLpS6Q0DTM52Ewpt0YiCi5biRwBIIRD_t7ly5Ahc5GaRcrXpU3t9rRFG7pQ6M20/s640/blogger-image-1086021282.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhidDwTPmWktGA6EB0C1EofAQ_gg1MMRkKWt3_Lk4OGKOOuDvYyPXlEg1RzjKaia1PraQxZTnKv90c17NLpS6Q0DTM52Ewpt0YiCi5biRwBIIRD_t7ly5Ahc5GaRcrXpU3t9rRFG7pQ6M20/s640/blogger-image-1086021282.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRk9GDF7UobAmZjkJk40h1QdfV4VaV02olCdwO1LN9vR607jHfvzLKf3Dgdlbc7_4iQ55ercxHYjy3ypSe7UnaahgukBIgTXi2X74DIAcUVgeJ_6nHN9HnupKW8Du2Aem9Z1tKL50YNg4V/s640/blogger-image-1434508925.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRk9GDF7UobAmZjkJk40h1QdfV4VaV02olCdwO1LN9vR607jHfvzLKf3Dgdlbc7_4iQ55ercxHYjy3ypSe7UnaahgukBIgTXi2X74DIAcUVgeJ_6nHN9HnupKW8Du2Aem9Z1tKL50YNg4V/s640/blogger-image-1434508925.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Repair patches above.
