Spit Up
Spitting up seems to be one of those parenting mysteries. Most babies have bouts of spit up here and there, while others seem to spit up after every feed. And most of the time, it's perfectly normal.
My son, who is now 20 months, spat up after every single bottle until he was 10 months old. I took him to the doctor a few times for this, worried he had something going on with his tummy. I never had to deal with spit up with his older sister. The doctor continued to tell me that I had nothing to worry about. That my son would likely grow out of spitting up and eventually he did.
Most babies grow out of spitting up by 6 or 7 months, when they begin to sit up more consistently. However, some may take a little longer, up to their first birthday, like my son.
Most of the time spitting up is nothing to worry about, it is frustrating, and messy! There are a few things you can try to minimize the spit up during and after feedings.
- Feed baby slightly sitting up to allow the milk to flow more easily to the stomach.
- Avoid distractions during feeding to keep baby from looking around and getting air into their belly while drinking milk.
- Feed before baby is very hungry. If you're following a schedule, this will be easy to do. A frantic baby swallows more air as they drink.
- Make sure the nipple on your baby's bottle is the correct size. You don't want a nipple that is too small (which will make baby suck harder) or too large (which will make baby gulp and choke on the milk). The correct nipple size should minimize air.
- Burp your baby at regular intervals. We'll touch on burping more below.
- Avoid overfeeding. Many babies will take down all the milk that is given to them (like both of my kids!) But many don't need that much milk and their bellies can't hold all of it. Resulting in spit up.
- Avoid putting pressure on your baby's belly. Try to keep them upright after feeding to keep the milk in baby's tummy.
- You may want to try a different bottle type that reduces air bubbles.
Burping should also help reduce spit up. Though your baby may want to gulp down all their milk without stopping you may need to stop feeding periodically to burp, especially if your baby tends to swallow a lot of air. Any time you notice baby take a natural pause during feeding take that opportunity to burp them. If you're breastfeeding this can be done very naturally when you switch breasts.
To burp your baby just hold them on your chest with their head over your shoulder. Pat gently on their back until they burps. But remember that your baby may not always burp. My daughter often did not burp after eating but would let out a nice belch later in the day!
You can also try to burp your baby by laying them down over your lap and rubbing or patting their back. Remember to always have a burp rag over your lap or shoulder when you're burping. You may also want to have your baby wear a bib if they tends to spit up a lot. There are lots of trendy bibs out there now!
If you think your baby is spitting up more than normal you should contact your pediatrician. The doctor may suggest a medication for reflux, a change in formula, if your baby is on formula, or a change in diet if you are breastfeeding or pumping.

Analysts, tech bloggers and the company itself agree that Waterloo, Ontario's Research in Motion's (RIM) upcoming launch of the BlackBerry 10 (BB10) will be the linchpin for the company's future success or failure. The stock price of the one-time crown jewel of Canadian tech companies stood at $140 in 2008. Over four years, it lost over 90 per cent of its value, dipping as low as $6 in September of 2012 before recovering to its current price of $15. In two parts, we'll explore how RIM got to this point and what consumer think about its chances of rebounding.
In part 1 we traced RIM's rise, fall and hopeful rebound. In part 2 we share the results of our sentiment analysis and extract lessons for brands in similar predicaments.
Lessons learned
Product delays sap consumer confidence
While this may seem like an obvious lesson to draw, it can't be overstated how damaging product delays can be for consumers, especially the most loyal. The news that BB10 would be delayed in June of 2012 resulted in a surge of negative publicity for the brand, even as it was attempting rebuild its image. When the company was finally ready to partially reveal the BB10 in October of 2012, the response wasn't exactly overwhelming, although healthy reviews have improved the chances that the product will be well received by consumers when its released later today.
On the flip side, RIM's rushing to market of the Playbook holds the flipside of this lesson. Pushing out a product before it's ready can be just as disastrous as frequent product delays.
Here is the rub: Don't take even the most loyal customers for granted. Be realistic about product releases and fight like hell to deliver on the expected features and on time or consumers will go elsewhere.
There's little room for error in crisis brand management
While Thorsten Heins should be praised for learning PR by fire, his freshman mistakes cost RIM positive media coverage from both social and traditional channels. Given the proper training and circumstances, a brand's CEO can be its best advocate by inspiring and motivating both consumers and the media. (Steve Jobs immediately comes to mind.) But a PR misstep can easily turn into a disaster when a CEO is the one making the mistake.
We searched for and analyzed all mentions on Twitter surrounding Research in Motion in conjunction with any keyword related to Blackberry 10. We examined chatter activity over six months between June and December of last year in Twitter's most active English-speaking countries globally – the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany* – as well as Canada. (We excluded non-English speaking countries due to limitations in our ability to conduct key qualitative analysis in other languages. )
Although we acknowledge that the global smartphone market extends beyond these borders, we view North America and Europe as a bellwether for global sales and limited the scope of our analysis to them.
Our research was performed utilizing Infomart's social media monitoring tools, which are able to track 100 per cent of Twitter mentions generated within the period under analysis.
Subsequently, we focused our analysis on examining chatter activity for specific metrics including volume, sentiment, message type and source. We determined the tone and message of each discussion using a combination of automated and human analysis to ensure accuracy. Authority of sources was calculated based on a number of different factors such as number of followers, tweets, re-tweets, reach, posting frequency, etc.
Note: The majority of conversations on login-based social networks such as Facebook are private and not accessible for analysis. Therefore, we focused our report on public sources of chatter (i.e. Twitter).
Measuring social chatter for clues on BB10's chance of success
The buildup leading to the BB10 release and speculation about the future of RIM have been the focus of social media chatter across the globe over the past few years. We examined Twitter mentions from the last six months to gauge whether users on that social network were optimistic about the company going forward. We examined tweets from users in Canada, the United States and Europe to form the basis of our analysis. As mentioned in the methodology section, we restricted our analysis to North America and Europe.
Consumers (Canada, U.S. and Europe)
|United States
The sentiment of the chatter differed according to region, with the most positive tweets coming from inside Canada. In all three regions, there was positive chatter about:
- BB10's design, apps and features, including the new time shift camera, which the company demonstrated in November 2012. We would argue that this camera technology in particular shows that the RIM's management has learned some valuable lessons from the pre-Heins era.
- In the U.S., there was strong positive sentiment about the BB10, especially once it won approval from major carriers like Sprint and Verizon, as well as security clearance from US government agencies.
- There was strong positive feedback from the developer community, mostly in tweets from Canada and Europe.
Key themes from the negative chatter about BB10 and RIM centred on delays, design and market share.
Specifically in Canada but applicable to all three regions:
- Twitter users expressed frustration over the delayed release of BB10.
- The BB10's design was too similar to that of other competing phones like Nokia, Android and the iPhone.
- Concern that the release of BB10 would be too late to make any difference in regaining lost market share.
Measuring Social Chatter for PR/Comms Lessons
In addition to providing clues on consumer attitudes towards RIM and BB10, we also analyzed Tweets over the past year to help us understand how the company fared amid quite challenging circumstances, and extract insights for brands who may also find themselves in the difficult position of rebuilding a damaged reputation.
We examined Tweets from users in Canada, the United States and Europe to form the basis of our analysis. During the time period of January 1 2012 to January 24 2013, we isolated social spikes and analyzed specific days for sentiment, excluding earnings reports and the announcement that Thorsten Heins would take over as CEO.
May 1, 2012 – BB10 prototype unveiled
Negative – 16%
Positive – 16%
Neutral – 61%
Takeaway: Generally speaking, the Twittersphere was quite divided over this announcement. While some people were very enthusiastic about new product features like the camera, skeptics dogged the coverage as well. Still, the fact that RIM finally had a product to show off kept negative coverage at bay and generated significant mainstream media coverage. This is evidenced by the large block of tweets coded neutral.
June 28, 2012 – BB10 delayed, 5,000 layoffs announced
Negative – 64%
Positive – 2%
Neutral – 29%
Takeaway: This was possibly the worst day for RIM in 2012. Not only did they lay off 30 per cent of their workforce, but CEO Thorsten Heins was forced to announce a delay of the BlackBerry 10 until 2013. It's possible that the company released both pieces of bad news on the same day in order to take the PR hit at once. On the other hand, the delay of the BB10 was yet another in a string of delays and bad news spanning a number of months and years. In terms of volume of chatter, June 28, 2012 was the highest next to the day that Heins was promoted to CEO. While it seems obvious that companies should avoid product delays, the fact that only two per cent of Tweets sampled were positive show just how low RIM's social media impact had sunk.
July 3, 2012 – (RIM isn't in a) Death Spiral
Negative – 42%
Positive – 14%
Neutral – 35%
Takeaway: On a Toronto radio morning show, Thorsten Heins appeared as part of his PR blitz early last summer. While he should be applauded for reaching out to his customers through the media, Heins scored an own-goal by repeating one of his detractors' talking points, namely that RIM was in "death spiral". Even though Heins clearly said, "This company is not ignoring the world out there, nor is it in a death spiral," traditional and social media piled on for this communications error. It was something that RIM could ill-afford in a week that they announced 5,000 layoffs and a major product delay. The lesson for any organization is crisis mode is that sometimes saying nothing is better than fumbling a positive message.
October 10, 2012 – Sneak peak at BB10 platform and OS
Negative – 12%
Positive – 11%
Neutral – 70%
Takeaway: In the second half of 2012, October 10 generated the third most Twitter mentions for RIM. Sneak peeks of key BB10 features were widely reported in the media, which accounts for the high volume of neutral Tweets (as media outlets often strive to maintain balance in their messaging). That said, many of RIM's former fans had lost confidence and pondered whether this was too-little-too-late move for the smartphone maker. Clearly one day doesn't a PR campaign make, but it appears that traditional and social media were taking a wait-and-see approach.
Looking ahead
When the BlackBerry 10 operating system and phone are released on January 30, 2013, it's not a stretch to say that the entire tech world will be watching. And while it will be a number of months before we know if all the waiting, delays, c-suite shakeups, PR campaigns, developer wooing and hard work will pay off, early sales numbers from North America and Europe (especially enterprise versus consumer) should give us an indication if RIM can actually re-bound.
* Refers to English language mentions within Germany. For analysis purposes, United Kingdom and Germany were analyzed jointly and labeled as 'Europe'. Rankings based on estimations by GlobalWebIndex, September 2012.
**NA Tweets in languages other than English, SPAM, etc.

Sep 4, 2007
JUNO BEACH, FL. - Florida Power & Light Company said today that residential customers will see rates decline by nearly one percent beginning in January 2008 as a result of greater efficiency at fossil fuel generating plants. Industrial and commercial customers will also be paying slightly less on their monthly bills.
This is the second year in a row that FPL has reduced rates in spite of price volatility in world fuel markets and continued growth in demand for electricity throughout its service territory.
"We remain committed to doing everything we can to keep our rates as low as possible," said FPL President Armando Olivera. "By increasing the efficiency of our network we're making sure that we maintain reliable service while minimizing the impact of rising fuel prices."
The company said current price projections could be altered by unforeseen events, such as a major hurricane striking the Gulf of Mexico. For example, when Hurricane Katrina damaged fuel production and transportation facilities in and around the Gulf two years ago, prices for natural gas and fuel oil used at FPL's power plants rose precipitously.
In its annual filings with the Florida Public Service Commission on fuel costs and related items, the company projected that starting next January, a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per month will see monthly bills decline by $0.94, to $102.49. In contrast, residential customers nationwide who use 1,000 kWh a month pay $108.79, according to the Edison Electric Institute, an industry trade association. FPL commercial and industrial customers will see reductions anywhere from just over half of one percent to nearly one percent on their monthly bills.
While FPL projects that natural gas prices will remain flat and residual oil fuel prices will increase moderately next year, a significant factor helping to drive down costs is increased fuel efficiency at FPL's fossil fuel power plants. FPL's fossil fuel power plant fleet is the top performer among large-scale utilities nationwide and has become 12 percent more efficient in the past five years. Efficiency at these facilities has grown by 17 percent since 1990.
As a fossil power plant increases in efficiency, it can generate the same megawatt hour with less fuel, thus saving money for FPL customers. Burning fuel more efficiently has the added benefit of emitting less greenhouse gases per megawatt hour produced. FPL's power plants rank among the cleanest in the nation. FPL's parent company, FPL Group Inc., has called for mandatory greenhouse gas emissions reductions, which contribute to man-made climate change.
The company reported that it will spend $6.1 billion for fuel in 2007 and projects it will buy $6.2 billion worth of fuel next year. FPL makes no profit on fuel and only actual costs are passed on to customers. Since 1975, electric utilities in Florida have made adjustment for fuel costs at least once a year with PSC approval, adjusting fuel surcharges so that customers pay only the actual fuel costs.
FPL has reduced the base rate portion of customer bills by 16 percent and saved customers $4.4 billion since 1999. Today the base rate – which covers what customers pay for electricity use -- accounts for 38 percent of the bill, while the fuel portion is 51 percent, nearly double what it was in 1999.
Florida Power & Light Company is the principal subsidiary of FPL Group, Inc. (NYSE: FPL), nationally known as a high quality, efficient and customer-driven organization focused on energy-related products and services. With annual revenues of nearly $16 billion and a growing presence in 26 states, FPL Group is widely recognized as one of the country's premier power companies. Florida Power & Light Company serves 4.4 million customer accounts in Florida. FPL Energy, LLC, FPL Group's competitive energy subsidiary is a leader in producing electricity from clean and renewable fuels.

Following a loss to the Wolves, putting an end to the Rockets 9 game with streak, the Rockets get ready to face the Memphis Grizzlies for the second time this season. The Rockets are led in scoring, assists and rebounds by MVP candidate James Harden, at 28.6 points, 11.8 assists, and 8.3 rebounds a game. The Rockets are ranked 3rd in offensive rating, 19th in defensive rating, and 4th in net rating.
The Grizzlies come into town with the 7th best record in the West, at 24-17, and a few days removed from an impressive come back victory over the Warriors. The Grizzlies are led in scoring by Marc Gasol, at 19.4 points, in assists by Mike Conley, at 6 assists, and in rebounding by JaMychal Green, at 7.5 rebounds per game. The Grizzlies are basically the anti-Rockets, at 24th in offensive rating, 3rd in defensive rating, and 12th in net rating.
Starting Lineups
As the Rockets endure another game without Clint Capela, and potentially Eric Gordon (toe) the starters for Sunday's game will be: James Harden at point guard, Patrick Beverley at shooting guard, Trevor Ariza at small forward, Ryan Anderson at power forward, and either Nene Hilario or Montrezl Harrell at center, with Eric Gordon getting starter's minutes, if he is able to play.
New Grizzly and former Rocket, Chandler Parsons has missed a large chunk of the season due to knee injuries, but will play, likely on a minutes limit. The Grizzlies will start the game with Mike Conely at point guard, Tony Allen at shooting guard, Chandler Parsons at small forward, JaMychal Green at power forward, and Marc Gasol at center.
Three Things to Watch
- Time toe panic? – Everyone knew going into the season that Eric Gordon was an injury risk, and that has appeared to rear it's head, as Gordon has missed the last two games with a sprained big toe. If Eric Gordon has to miss a 3rd game with what is said to be a minor injury, it may be time to worry. Watch to see if Gordon is healed up and ready to play, or if guys on the bench are able to compensate for the loss, as they couldn't on Wednesday.
- Grit N' Grind – There really isn't a better way to describe the Grizzlies than their nickname. They will play an extremely physical brand of basketball, while grinding the game to the tune of the 3rd slowest pace in the NBA. Watch to see how the drastically different styles between the two teams clash, and how the Rockets are able to defend such an interior based offense, still without their best interior defender in Capela.
- Which Grizz? – The Grizzlies have been wildly inconsistent this year, stealing games from better teams, then giving up wins to bad ones. In just their last 5 games they've had losses to the lowly Lakers and the injury depleted Clippers, then followed those games with a win over Golden State. Watch to see which version of the Grizzlies come to play Friday night, the tough Grizzlies, ready to maul anyone to pieces, or the meek Grizzly Cubs, ready to roll over and play dead.
Prediction and Tip-Off
The Rockets haven't lost two game in a row all season, and I expect that trend to continue, as they get their revenge over the Grizzlies, after losing their last meeting. The Rockets will likely force the Grizzlies into a math problem, as it's hard to beat threes with twos, unless Vince Carter decides to never miss, once again.
Tip-off will be at 7:00 P.M. Central Time in Houston on Friday, January 13th. The game will be televised on ROOT Sports, with the radio broadcast on Sports Talk 790-AM.

Every flower returns to sleep with the earth. The journey of the sun and moon is predictable. But yours, is your ultimate art" Suzy Kassem
A lot of what we get out of life is directly linked to how much we put in....so as it is my 50th year, I am going to get busy(er) ....... both personally and professionally.
As a family we will be going on more adventures. We plan to complete a coast to coast walk along Hadrian's Wall, go to the Wilderness Festival (again) and complete the Three Peaks. Can't wait.
Of course, I'll be taking lots of photographs along the way; but will also be working on some other projects aside from the family travels.
There is more work to be done on 'Visiting Olive'. Even though she has now passed away, I have started visiting her favourite places and will complete the list she made, incorporating the images into the current project.
I am also about to start working on a new project with the charity, 'icandance'. Icandance works with children and young people who have varying disabilities, giving them the opportunity to express themselves through movement and dance, to make friends and also allowing them to 'be themselves' amongst their peers.
I am a Trustee of this amazing charity and my daughter, Billie-Jo, attends classes every Saturday. I know first hand how much they do, not only for the dancers; but their families too. I look forward to your feedback as I post some of the work along the way.
There are many more ideas floating around in my head for 2016 and I aim to make a start on some of them too. I plan to be more disciplined this year and start posting on my blog every month so that I can create a visual diary of the year's achievements.
Please join me in what should be a fun 2016!

The Western Cape has been in the midst of a severe drought for the past 3 years. Limited use of borehole & rain water storage during the 2017/18 growing season managed to keep the Le Marais vineyard in excellent condition. Netting was applied across the entire vineyard to keep losses to birds & other critters to a minimum. Excellent sunny & cool weather conditions during the late season, allowed the Muscat grapes to be left on the vines until mid-May.
Several passes were made through the vineyard during the harvest to ensure the individual Muscat grapes were picked at optimum ripeness. Sugar levels at picking were at around 40 balling. Overall yields were up by about 25% compared to 2017, mainly due to lower losses to the birds.

Joan Jeanrenaud Records at Studio Trilogy for Dance Theatre of Harlem
Grammy-nominated Former Kronos Cellist Creates New Music for Ballet
Pictured in session at Studio Trilogy's SSL 9000K console are (L-R) chief engineer Justin Lieberman and cellist/composer Joan Jeanrenaud with her dog "Jack." Photo by David Goggin.
Grammy-nominated cellist and composer Joan Jeanrenaud has recorded new music for The Dance Theatre of Harlem, which is returning in April to NYC after an eight-year hiatus. The new music to be premiered was requested by renowned dancer Thaddeus Davis and recorded with keyboardist/percussionist PC Munoz and engineer Justin Lieberman at San Francisco's Studio Trilogy.
Thaddeus Davis had heard Jeanrenaud's 2008 Grammy-nominated Classical album "Strange Toys," which was recorded in the same studio, and was intrigued by her rhythmic and atmospheric sensibilities. Jeanrenaud first met percussionist PC Munoz at Trilogy and since then both have collaborated on their respective individual projects. For the new Harlem Dance Theatre pieces, "Harmonic Harlem" and "Harlem Strut," Munoz accompanies Jenrenaud's cello with African Kalimba thumb piano and a unique miniature drum kit.
"Justin Lieberman is my main reason for recording here at Trilogy," Jeanrenaud explained. "We first worked together at Different Fur studios here in San Francisco and then again when he moved over to Talking House, which later became Studio Trilogy. His engineering is inspired and impeccable and this studio is a pleasure to work in, as well as being a creative magnet for musicians."
Joan Jeanrenaud plays a Deconet cello made in the mid-1700s. A native of Memphis, Tennessee, she played with the Kronos Quartet from 1978 until 1999, when, after a sabbatical, she left to pursue a solo career and collaborations with other artists. She has staged and recorded solo performance pieces, also playing the cello in tandem with electronic instruments. Her first solo album, "Metamorphosis," was described by Greg Cahill in Strings as "visceral, hypnotic... compelling.
Founded in 1969, the legendary Dance Theatre of Harlem made its official debut on January 8, 1971, at the New York Guggenheim Museum with three chamber ballets by co-director Arthur Mitchell. During the same season the company's repertory was supplemented with several ballets by George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins. The DTH is renowned both as the first black classical ballet company, and the first major ballet company to prioritize black dancers.

Running a small shop is not for the weary. It takes countless hours, energy, passion, and nerves of steel to keep pushing forward when it feels like the cards are stacked against you. Having my shop has given me some of my greatest highs and deepest lows. Self-doubt, pure joy, tears of frustration, and sighs of accomplishment are just a few of the emotions that have made this journey anything but dull. The best part of running my own small business??? Is it the flexible schedule? The fact that I am my own boss? Following a passion? Actually it is none of those..... not even close.
What has blessed me most is the other shop owners I have met. There is a bond there, a friendship that can't be touched. It reminds me of growing up in my small town really. My tribe of small business peeps will always have my back. They will be there to pick me up when I have fallen, and they will cheer on my success like a proud parent. I've even had some of these amazing people offer to come help me make product when my health has given me a run for my money. So, to honor some of these incredible people I am doing a small shop feature series.
First up is Jake of Two Ravens Soap Company. I met Jake at one of the markets we were both vendors at. Not only does his booth smell absolutely fantastic and I want one of everything, his personality is infectious and will surely leave you smiling. I asked Jake a few questions about him and his shop so you can get to know the maker behind the business. And look at his soap! I mean how gorgeous are those colors?!?!
1. What motivated you to start your shop?
I was motivated to start making soap because I was always a fan of craft, natural soaps. I'd always purchase some locally anytime I ran into it, but always was finding more feminine scents. I thought, hey! I'm crafty! I bet I could make some for myself and friends and see how it goes. Knowing I always wanted to be an entrepreneur, and was way-tired of working the corporate management route, I thought about it even further than just a hobby. I started researching equipment, how to officially start a business, web development, etc and before you know it, I was getting into the soap industry. I took a month off from management work, formulated some recipes, ordered equipment and ingredients and got to work! After testing it on friends and family for a few months, I knew I had a good thing going. They kept offering me money well before I was ready to take it and was always given rave reviews. Finally I built my website, found a couple wholesale accounts to start with and officially launched in February of 2014.
2. Where does your inspiration come from?
I'm inspired daily by nature and our majestic Rocky Mountains. The vibe of Two Ravens Soap Company is taken directly from my Colorado adventures and time spent in our amazing environment.
Each product scent combo, style, and look are all meant to take you somewhere on an adventure, all while never having to leave your shower! Although, I totally recommend a quick bath in a high-mountain lake or stream. It totally adds to the vibe.
3. Is there a special meaning behind your shop name?
Ravens are the protectors of the mountains. They're there to fly high above us while adventuring and protecting us as we explore nature. Odin, Norse god of wisdom and knowledge, has two ravens that fly about and provide sight and information for him. Huginn and Muninn. Keep an eye to the sky as you take your next adventure, you'll see some ravens flying about.
4. What is your mission with Two Ravens Soap?
My mission is to bring people natural soaps and body care products that are environmentally friendly and inspire adventure all while being reasonably priced and approachable by all.
5. Are there any special events you will be attending with your shop?
I'm at three markets a week, plus many one-off events throughout the season. Thursday - Erie Farmer's Market, Friday - Dillon Farmer's Market, and Saturday - Louisville Farmer's Market. There's a ton of amazing one-off events coming up for us as well and they can be found on our website at www.tworavenssoap.com/farmer-markets
6. What do you like to do for fun?
I am a huge outdoor adventurer. Whether it's skiing in the winter, or hiking and camping in the summer, you can always find me doing something outside. The business keeps me busy as well, but that's more fun than it is work to me.
7. Who is someone you consider to be a hero in your life?
I look up to my Mom for her strength and courage and ability to get through everything life throws at you. I also look up to my late-Father for his sense of adventure, free spirit and connection to nature and our Native American background.
8. What is a big lesson you have learned on this journey?
I've learned to always stick to what your gut says, don't stray from your business plan and path, and to always enjoy doing what you do.
Be sure to check out Two Ravens Soap Company amazing products. The smells are divine! You can also follow Jake on Instagram at tworavenssoap and Facebook at TwoRavensSoap.

I was going back through my old blog the other day because I just hit my second blog-o-versary! I've been blogging continually for two years now and I feel pretty good! I've seen many people start blogs with grand intentions and then abandon them because it's not an easy thing to keep up with. At any rate, I realized that when I switched over to hosting my blog on my photography site, I kind of stopped blogging about life in general. Sure, this is a photography blog and you should expect a good bit of photography posts up here! But I love to write. I majored in journalism! So I decided to spend a little more time writing about life in addition to photography...so here goes. If you're just stopping by for pictures, come back soon. If you don't mind getting to know me a bit better, then keep on reading! I'm usually an all-or-nothing kind of guy. Like many men, I typically focus on the task at hand. Unfortunately, life gets out of balance pretty quickly that way! And when you're trying to balance all that our family is balancing, only focusing on what's directly in front of you is not a great way to go. That's the great thing about being married to a woman like Sarah. She's balanced. She doesn't forget that there is life outside of whatever is screaming for attention. She gently reminds me to slow down...to stop and pray...to get out and enjoy the fresh air...to put priority on spending time with the ones I love. We balance a lot around the Davis house. I teach full time, we photograph weddings and portraits, Sarah has a blossoming business, we (well, mostly Sarah) homeschool our oldest daughter, we manage a property in NC, and Sarah recently enrolled in school to become a midwife! Yeah, we're a little crazy. But that's where balance comes in. We don't have it all figured out, but we're getting there. We're learning the art of scheduling (being sure to include date nights and laundry days) and by God's grace we're hanging in there. We're even managing to experience some cool things going on in our lives right now that I'm excited to share!
-I felt the baby kick! Sarah's about 19 weeks along and we haven't found out what we're having yet. Our daughters are hoping for another girl! Either way, this kid will definitely have 3 mothers! Kyla and Avery are two of the most nurturing and motherly girls I have ever seen. We are loving them so much right now and are so thankful for the fact that they are best friends and love spending time together!
-We just found out today that Megan and John's Halloween wedding is going to be featured in Virginia Bride magazine! We're working on picking out the right images from their big day. Unfortunately, the issue won't be out until the fall, but we'll be sure to let you know when it hits the news stands!
-We're headed to Charlotte to visit friends this weekend. I haven't been back since we moved in June, so it will be fun to catch up with a lot of people. We're also showing our house to potential tenants and I'm pretty sure we've found someone who wants to rent it already!
-We've been booking a lot of weddings already for the year. I made a goal that I would like to book and shoot 20-25 weddings per year. So far, we have 4 booked and we've got several other couples about ready to book as well! Considering we're still pretty new to Charlottesville and that we don't spend a dime on advertising, I'm pretty excited! We rely solely on referrals and social networking to get new business. We've considered paying for advertising, but the small amount we've done in the past hasn't generated any new business and the referral method fits our natural style and personalities too! This time last year, we only had one booked and we moved out of state and we still ended up shooting nine weddings! I have faith that there are many good things to come.
-We decided that Sarah should take a break from shooting any more weddings until well after the baby comes. She was pretty beat after her last wedding! Thankfully, our friend Maggie who worked with me on Meghan and John's wedding agreed to step up and be my second shooter for a bunch of our 2010 weddings! I'm so thankful to have someone like her to rely on.
And since this is a post about balancing life and it's nearly 1:00AM, I guess I'll wrap it up so that I can get some sleep. Every post needs a picture, so here ya go. One of the great things about living in Charlottesville is that we're much closer to our families in Richmond. We were able to make it down for my dad's surprise 39th (again) birthday party last week! It was such a blessing to be able to see my dad as well as my brother and his family on a Monday night! Here's my dad opening his presents with the grandkids!

Zak Designs was founded in 1976, and we have been in the business of bringing smiles to our customers ever since. Headquartered in the beautiful city of Spokane, Washington, we are a dinnerware and drinkware company with the desire to bring something new to your table, and we have an impressive collection to show for it. Revolutionary ideas, creative solutions, and groundbreaking designs are all part of what we do. And with these unique products, Zak continues to set trends and make mealtime special for people around the world.
No one had ever thought of putting iconic characters on dinnerware before Irv Zakheim brought up the idea. Encouraged by the achievements of the Zak Zany Zoo Oven Mitts (a unique twist on ordinary oven mitts that proved their popularity by appearing on the set of Seinfeld), he continued exploring ways to put a little joy into everyday activities. In 1988, Zakheim convinced Disney to let him spotlight the Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers on his products. Zak Designs was allowed two new movies the following year: the live-action Dick Tracy and an animated feature. The Little Mermaid and its merchandise saw undeniable success, demonstrating the appeal of characters on children's dinnerware and solidifying Zak Designs as a leader in the category.
But we haven't just been sitting on our laurels since then—kids aren't the only ones who can use a little mealtime fun, so we're always looking for new ways to expand and provide for people of all ages. We've launched a toddler line that helps your child form healthy habits early, while baking sets designed to fit little hands encourage involvement in the kitchen. Teens and adults can make a statement with their favorite characters on glasses and coffee mugs. And of course, our stylish dinnerware and drinkware will delight both family and guests, and not just based on looks.
Zak is a problem-solving company, and with the inspiration around us, we've been able to approach our solutions from a different angle. Surrounded by the green wilderness of the Pacific Northwest, we've taken steps to lessen our environmental impact with renewable and recycled materials, leading to several creative and appealing dinnerware collections. During sports games and city-wide events like Bloomsday and Hoopfest, athletes can stay hydrated with a water bottle that has won multiple awards for its innovative intake-tracking design. We see something as routine as a daily commute, and engineer our travel tumblers to keep it clean and convenient.
Zak Designs is always on the edge of something new, and after 40 years of looking past traditional mealtimes, we have quite a few accomplishments to our name. Whether you're looking for a trendy pattern, an interesting design feature, or a character from a favorite show, our collection of products has something to make everyone smile.

Chris Pierce - You've Got to Feel It (Calabama Recordings)
Add Date: 09/12
Focus Track: 5
Formats: AMA, AAA
Artist Info: Knee deep into the first six track session of his latest recording project, Chris Pierce was in soul music's Promised Land, making the vocal booth in the Muscle Shoals, Alabama studio his home. Vibing with The Swampers, the Muscle Shoal Horns and The Shoal Sisters – the legendary session musicians who defined the classic Muscle Shoals sound back in R&B's 60's and 70's heyday – the singer found personal rebirth in service to the songs that inspired his own prolific, multi-faceted career as a soul and blues singer/songwriter. In the middle of Wilson Pickett's classic " Don't Fight It," Pierce sang a key lyric that defines the power of R&B for him and millions of others. It also made the perfect title for an album that brings Pierce's twenty year recording career full circle: You've Got to Feel It!
Recorded in two sessions in the fall of 2015 and winter of 2016, the 12 track collection is driven by the fresh perspectives and freewheeling imagination Pierce brings to a grooving and emotionally searing set list featuring '60s and '70s classics by the soul singers whose passion has spoken to and ignited him since early childhood. The set list is an R&B lover's dream, featuring classics by Solomon Burke ("Cry To Me"), Clarence Carter ("Slip Away"), James Carr ("The Dark End of the Street"), Arthur Alexander ("You Better Move On"), Jimmy Cliff ("Many Rivers to Cross)" Al Green ("I'm A Ram"), Otis Redding ("That's How Strong My Love Is"), Marvin Gaye ("Trouble Man") and Stevie Wonder ("You Haven't Done Nothin'").

10-Second Studio Tour: Lola Hats
We've been thinking a lot recently about where our products come from, especially the clothing that we wear. Oftentimes, the answer can be horrifying—that $10 jersey tank top made in a sweatshop by outrageously underpaid workers; a pair of leggings sprayed with flame retardants and chemicals that destroy local ecosystems, etc, etc, etc. Still, it's not all doom and gloom—sometimes, the desire to learn more about where your products are made can lead to unexpected, totally wonderful surprises. This is exactly what happened a few weeks back when Amy decided she'd like to know more about the maker of a hat she had just purchased. This hat:
Photo by Jorge de la Barra.
Amy is clearly loving that hat—and who wouldn't? It's downright fabulous. As it turns out, the hat was handcrafted at the studios of Lola Ehrlich, the Netherlands-born, France-raised milliner extraordinaire who currently calls Bushwick, Brooklyn home. Like Lola, her designs and studio are filled with life, energy, and seemingly endless creativity. Although quite large, the studio space is a cozy, glorious jumble of creative tools, inspirational images, objets d'art, and—of course—hats. Hats, hats, and then some more hats. I spent roughly an hour photographing Lola's beautiful workspace, but I feel like I could have gladly spent all day. A veritable treasure trove — not just of beautiful things, but inspiring ideas — one gets the sense that this is what a studio space should be. Take a look at our 10-Second Tour above or check out all of the images from our visit after the jump! —Max

Toward A Concrete Utopia: Architecture In Yugoslavia, 1948–1980 - The Museum of Modern Art
Through January 13, 2019 - Manhattan
Situated between the capitalist West and the socialist East, Yugoslavia's architects responded to contradictory demands and influences, developing a postwar architecture both in line with and distinct from the design approaches seen elsewhere in Europe and beyond. The architecture that emerged—from International Style skyscrapers to Brutalist "social condensers"—is a manifestation of the radical diversity, hybridity, and idealism that characterized the Yugoslav state itself. Toward a Concrete Utopia: Architecture in Yugoslavia, 1948–1980 introduces the exceptional work of socialist Yugoslavia's leading architects to an international audience for the first time, highlighting a significant yet thus-far understudied body of modernist architecture, whose forward-thinking contributions still resonate today.
Liliana Porter: Other Situations - El Museo del Barrio
Through January 27, 2019 - New York
Born in Argentina in 1941, Liliana Porter, originally educated in printmaking — a discipline that deeply influenced her practice — moved to New York in 1964, where she cofounded the New York Graphic Workshop with artists Luis Camnitzer and José Guillermo Castillo. Since then, Porter has worked in a variety of media including painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, assemblages, video, installation and, more recently, theater. Porter's art has been exhibited in more than 35 countries in over 450 group shows, and is a part of public and private collections including El Museo del Barrio. Her work has been reviewed in Artforum, Art in America, and Sculpture Magazine, among other publications. In 2013, the Fundación Patricia Phelps de Cisneros published the book Liliana Porter in Conversation with Inés Katzenstein as part of the Conversaciones/Conversations series. Galleries in Europe, Latin America and the United States represent the artist.
Judson Dance Theater: The Work Is Never Done - The Museum of Modern Art
Through February 03, 2019 - Manhattan
For a brief period in the early 1960s, a group of choreographers, visual artists, composers, and filmmakers made use of a local church to present performances that Village Voice critic Jill Johnston declared the most exciting new developments in dance in a generation. Redefining the kinds of movement that could count as dance, the Judson participants—Trisha Brown, Lucinda Childs, Philip Corner, Bill Dixon, Judith Dunn, David Gordon, Alex Hay, Deborah Hay, Fred Herko, Robert Morris, Steve Paxton, Rudy Perez, Yvonne Rainer, Robert Rauschenberg, Carolee Schneemann, and Elaine Summers, among others—would go on to profoundly shape all fields of art in the second half of the 20th century. Taking its name from the Judson Memorial Church, a socially engaged Protestant congregation in New York's Greenwich Village, Judson Dance Theater was organized as a series of open workshops from which its participants developed performances. Together, the artists challenged traditional understandings of choreography, expanding dance in ways that reconsidered its place in the world. They employed new compositional methods to strip dance of its theatrical conventions, incorporating "ordinary" movements—ge... (read more)
Constantin Brancusi Sculpture - The Museum of Modern Art
Through February 24, 2019 - Manhattan
Poet Erza Pound spoke of artist Constantin Brancusi's work as providing "the master keys to the world of form." Over a career that spanned half a century, Brancusi's innovations transformed sculpture as it had been known, and influenced generations of artists to come. After moving to Paris in 1904 from his native Romania, Brancusi affected the appearance of a Romanian peasant—a long beard, work shirt, and sandals—while embedding himself in avant-garde art circles. He soon began pushing modernist sculpture to the threshold of abstraction, developing a new, simplified vocabulary of graceful crescents, gleaming ovoids, and rough-hewn blocks that often evoked rather than resembled the things named in their titles, such as Bird in Space or Fish. He put the natural properties of his materials on display, carving directly into wood and stone and polishing metal to high reflectivity. The bases for his sculptures were often built of stacked elements—wood cubes, cylindrical slices, pyramidal blocks, or cruciform stones—becoming an integral component of the work itself and hinting at the possibility of infinite rearrangement, an idea that would prove fertile in future decades.

text: In Michael's book The SmallMart Revolution and its successor Local Dollars, Local Sense talk about the value and power of local business. His message relates to Real Estate in two important ways: the quality of your life is related to the quality of amenities provided by local business in your community; the value of your real estate is related to the quality and qulaities of the local businesses. In urban neighbourhoods this conveys as local coffee culture, local food culture, and local beer culture. A home located close to a perfect coffee pour will be positively influenced, compare that to the value of a home located close to a money exchange/pawn shop. Shopping locally helps home owners build value. Its like investing in the quality of your neighbourhood.
