Joyce Manor's Mature Reflection: "Million Dollars to Kill Me"
by Emily Bunn
On September 21, 2018, Joyce Manor released their fifth full-length effort, Million Dollars to Kill Me with Epitaph Records. This album was produced by Converge's Kurt Ballou. Million Dollars to Kill Me came to life at Ballou's own GodCity Studio in Salem, Massachusetts. Certainly Joyce Manor's most tame release, Million Dollars To Kill Me shows the maturation of the entire band, both lyrically and instrumentally. As always, Joyce Manor remains peppy and punky, while packing a powerful punch into their very short songs.
While Joyce Manor's prior release Cody (2016) had more of a youthful vibe, Million Dollars to Kill Me looks into life after adolescence. Just as the title of the album would suggest, money is a recurring theme throughout the album. A lot less punky and fast-paced than earlier releases like "Never Hungover Again" (2014) or their self-titled album (2011), Million Dollars to Kill Me is more reminiscent of Cody. If anything, it is even more mellow and melodic, but decidedly not boring. Some of the songs off of it, like "Gone Tomorrow", even veer into evoking the shoegaze subgenre. This dream-pop atmosphere is something many bands are turning to lately with the popularity of bands like Turnover, Teenage Wrist and of course, Slowdive.
Some highlights off of the album are "Wildflowers", "Up The Punx", "I'm Not The One", and "Million Dollars To Kill Me" (so, almost half the album because it is truly just that good). Starting with the third track on the album, "I'm Not The One" is one of the most melodic tracks on the album that proposes a narrative about finding love, navigating finances, and the truth. The lyrics throughout the album seem to almost rhyme continually and very cleverly, but songwriter and vocalist Barry showcases that skill the best on this track. Combining struggles of navigating class and romance with more adolescent, niche hot-takes on these issues. For instance, in "I'm Not The One"'s bridge, Barry yells:
"Dog at the door who's the king of hardcore, 'cause he's always been/Booking the shows/where they sell the most clothes 'cause they're so limited."
The title track off the album, "Million Dollars To Kill" has an incredibly catchy chorus that reveals even that of "Fake ID" (off of Cody). The guitars pick up as Barry decares:
"She's the only one who can take you to the pawn shop and sell you for twice what you're worth/Nobody tells you it hurts to be loved."
Following the rocking chorus is an angsty, aggressive bridge. When seeing a Joyce Manor concert only two days after the album's release, the crowd already knew the words and sang along:
"One day you will realize/You are nothing, nothing without her/You're an asshole from a bar/ on a break in a breakroom/and you're never happy!"
Next, "Up The Punx" begins with an intro that's highly reminiscent of a Tiny Moving Parts song off Swell. "Up The Punx" combines fun, abstractive lyrics like
"Broke-a-hontas, orange eating/Talk like that, now watch who's screaming"
These are reminiscent of the same fun vibe "Ashtray Petting Zoo", with a harmonic and syncopated instrumentation, especially emphasizes by Pat Ware, on the drums. Despite how energetic the track sounds, however, the lyrics seem melancholic and hollow as Barry yells out asking:
"Is anybody out there?/Is anybody out there this time?"
"Wildflowers" is the slowest and dreamiest song off the album. The track starts with a catchy, upbeat guitar riff unto which vocalist Barry angelically interludes
"sunshine coming in through/the open window/of my bedroom."
This track is the last song off the album and ends it on an optimistic note. "Million Dollars To Kill Me" is a fantastic release that shows how much the band has matured and learned to ace somewhat slower, less in your face songs that provide just as much fun and vitality now in a more reflective, twinklier composition.

My family and I have only recently moved to Tennessee. I was offered a promotion through my job if we relocated to the Antioch area, so here we are! Right now we are staying with some family friends, but that is less than ideal.
It's something of an imposition on the friends given that they've opened their home to a couple with a small baby. They gave us the use of their guest room and access to their kitchen, but it's not a lot of space for the three of us. We definitely need to hurry up and find our own place.
The sooner we can get our own place, the sooner we will really start to feel like a family. Living in someone else's house makes me feel like a teenager again, like I've had to move back home with my parents. The people we are staying with don't try to set rules on us or anything, but we still have to be careful about when we come and go and how much noise we make.
Even with this promotion, I still need to find a relatively low-rent place. My wife stays howe with the baby, so it's just my income right now. A new baby comes with lots of expenses, too. While I'm happy to have my son, he wasn't planned and we didn't have anything saved up for the costs.
I'm not sure where to start looking for Antioch TN apartments for rent. I think the first thing we'll do is just drive around some of the neighborhoods that look nice and see if we can find any "for rent" signs. That's always been a way for me to find good places to rent from small landlords who won't always advertise.
I also like to look in the classifieds online and in the paper. It's a low-cost way for the landlord to advertise their vacancies, which means I am more likely to find cheaper apartments. Big, flashy advertisements cost money and aren't a good investment for a small landlord.
I figure I can ask my coworkers if they know of anyone who knows of any Antioch TN apartments for rent, or even home shares and mother-in-law suites. We don't have to have a whole house or apartment to ourselves; we just need a bedroom for us and a room for the baby. Maybe someone will have a vacation home or something similar that they aren't using right now that they'll let us rent until we can find something more permanent.
Maybe someone will have a basement or an attic space we can rent. Like I said before, I don't need a whole lot of room, just a space separate from us where the baby can sleep. It's hard enough as parents having a new baby; not having any space to ourselves makes it even harder.
Hopefully we can find something soon. While the friends we are staying with have been very nice about it, it's nothing like having our own place.

Pasta Fagioli Recipe – If you love the Olive Garden Pasta Fagioli recipe, then I think you'll love this homemade version as much or more! Ready in 30 minutes!
Oh friends, do I have a scrumptious recipe for you all today! I've mentioned before about how my college friends and I would make our routine trek into Atlanta many, many moons ago and would always somehow wind up in Olive Garden for our supper. It was like our cars had automatic steering locked in on that place!
Since then, I've visited a time or two, but I'm not as frequent of a visitor as I was all those years ago. But, one of my favorite things to order during the cooler months has always been their Pasta Fagioli. And over the years, I've worked to get the recipe as close to the original as I possibly could. Since I've now made the recipe so that it is homemade and ready in 30 minutes, I think I should invite my college friends over for a bowl.
Pasta Fagioli Recipe
Even though this recipe includes more ingredients than I normally include in recipes, it really couldn't get much easier to whip up on a busy weeknight, for a soup buffet throughout the fall for Halloween, for watching the game, or to cozy up on a chilly day!
Since this quick and easy one pot recipe comes together in less than 30 minutes, it is one that you'll most likely turn to time and again! At least I do!
How to Make Pasta Fagioli Recipe
You'll brown your ground beef in a large stockpot over medium heat and then drain away the drippings from the beef and stir in your vegetables and cook until the vegetables are just tender. You'll notice that I've grated my carrots with a box grater. This reduces the cooking time for the carrots considerably.
Once the vegetables are just tender, I stir in my stock. For the stock, you can use vegetable stock or chicken stock based on what you have on hand or your personal preference. Along with the stock, stir in your tomatoes and tomato sauce and spices. Bring the liquid to a boil and then stir in your pasta and beans (including the liquid from the beans). If there is not enough liquid to cover the pasta, you can add water or additional stock to thin out the ingredients. Then reduce the heat and allow to simmer until the pasta is al dente, about 10 minutes.
Here's my Pasta Fagioli Recipe. I hope you love it as much as we do!
Pasta Fagioli Recipe
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ medium onion finely chopped
- 2 medium carrots shredded or finely chopped
- 3 stalks celery chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 4 cups vegetable stock or chicken stock
- 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (8-ounce can) tomato sauce
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1½ teaspoons fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme or ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1½ cups uncooked ditalini pasta
- 1 (15-ounce can) red kidney beans
- 1 15-ounce can great northern beans
- grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
- freshly chopped parsley for garnish
- Brown ground beef in stockpot set over medium heat, stirring frequently until cooked throughout, about 5 minutes. Drain away any drippings from the beef and stir in the onions, carrots, and celery and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and reduce the heat to low. Stir in the stock, tomatoes, tomato sauce, basil, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and stir in the ditalini, along with the beans and their liquid. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the vegetables are tender and the pasta is al dente, about 10 minutes.
- Serve warm with grated Parmesan cheese and parsley, optional.
For a vegetarian version of this soup, simply omit the ground beef and use vegetable stock. Vegan:
For a vegan version of this soup, simply omit the ground beef, use vegetable stock, and omit the Parmesan as garnish Make-Ahead:
Allow soup to cool. Place into the refrigerator in an airtight container and store for up to 5 days. Freezer Friendly:
Allow soup to cool. Place into freezer-safe container and store for up to 3 months. To reheat, allow to thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat over medium-low heat on the stovetop until heated throughout, about 15 minutes.

Plan Spa Events that Increase Sales & Fun!
You probably invested a great deal of time, effort and smarts in making your spa a wonderful destination. Yet your single greatest marketing asset is not your brick-and-mortar features, but the relationship you have with clients. In today's complex world, forging a personal bond is more vital than ever. Look at the power of social media. Sites like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter have introduced a new kind of all-access intimacy, a sense that any individual can "make a connection" with celebrities, luminaries and brands instantaneously. Attuned to this new reality, your clients are becoming less receptive to corporate-style emails and pre-packaged messaging. Instead, they're pledging loyalties to brands that humanize themselves, provide valuable content and services, and build relationships in a thoughtful, genuine way.
Happily, local businesses are the best suited to this kind of personalized marketing strategy. As a spa owner, your proximity to clients is unmatched. And that advantage is unparalleled—because clients build the best relationships with people, not businesses. As a spa owner, you're uniquely positioned to spearhead and oversee special events—the kind of strategic gatherings that will expand the reach of your brand, highlight all you have to offer, and reward current clients while enticing new ones. Spa events and parties are the ideal blend of marketing, branding and fun. Not only do they connect you with clients and will-be clients, but the festive atmosphere puts everyone in a receptive mood, eager to learn more about your products and services—and to buy! Carefully planned special events can increase your service and product sales; boost traffic; introduce new clients to your spa; build your database; strengthen relationships between your clients and staff; enhance your brand; and improve client loyalty. Quite an impressive list of positive outcomes!
Building Your Database
When setting out to plan event, your spa database is the most logical starting point—in fact, it's the single most important marketing tool you've got. With that in mind, make sure you've taken every step to keep that database in prime working order:
· Include an email capture tool/widget right on your homepage
· Require all marketing initiatives to include an email sign-up
· Have your front desk continually keep tabs on your database so that it stays cleaned up and current
· Capture all contact information during telephone intakes. Double check that this info is correct on intake forms.
· Create a system of entering in new client information from business cards, events, and other one-to-one interactions
· Be sure ALL events require an 'Email Check In'—in other words, attendees provide an email address. Capturing that information will help build a viable working database.
Charity Events
There's a lot of truth in the idea of "doing well by doing good." Chances are your spa is already solicited regularly for donations to worthy causes. Why not 'flip the switch' and create a charity program yourself? Seek out local organizations whose demographic is similar to your target market (environment, literacy, local schools and so on). Then meet with those charities and brainstorm about ways you might support each other.
Some ideas? Hold a fundraiser at your spa. You might hold a two-hour evening event, or opt for a longer session on a weekend, where guest can indulge in variety of spa offerings for a set fee. Create a special gift certificate (with a 30 to 60 day expiration date) to include in "swag" bags either at your own fundraiser or another charitable benefit. Whether you offer an inexpensive service gratis or 25% off a spa product, it's a great way to get people in the door. You might also consider one of your pricier services—Botox a deluxe facial—to a charitable silent auction. You could win a new client from the winning bidder!
Sampling Opportunities
High-profile community events—charitable ones, as well as things like marathons, bike races, expos, health fairs, and so on—are great places to see and be seen. Have your staff on-site to provide complementary services to visitors (offer simple services that are easy to execute), with the goal of 'touching' as many people as possible. Staffers can also speak about your brand, while passing out brochures and samples—small gestures with potentially big impact that help position you as a 'good neighbor' in your community.
Vendor Gatherings
Vendor events are a wonderfully versatile option, something you can with or without a rep from the company. Organize a "private event" for specific clients—by appointment only, with limited availability, and targeting those who have previously purchased a specific product (your software should be able to cull these names from your database). Offer attendees a free mini-service and a discount of 10-25% (up to you) when they buy $150-200 (again, up to you) of the featured product. Note: All events at your spa should offer free refreshments and include an opportunity to gather contact info from guests.
Shopping Parties
Join forces with a group of small local businesses—and together, sponsor a 'shopping party' at your spa, targeting a specific clientele. Prom-goers, brides-to-be, bat mitzvah candidates: Any and all would savor an event that spotlights hairdos, makeup, nails, skin care, plus dresses, photographers, limo rentals and more specifically for their big occasion. To invite guests, share databases with your vendor partners. Have each of those vendors present at the event, in a designated area of your spa, to showcase theirproducts/services as party attendees make the rounds. Everything from the menu to the décor should be festive and memorable—truly fit for a queen!
Think of all the individuals–speakers, healers, experts of all sorts–who have a database of people and a wealth of experience, yet no home base to offer their classes and lectures. You can initiate a win-win scenario for your business simply by teaming up with these pros. Merge your databases, and hold a workshop or similar event at your spa. Charge a fee, and split the proceeds 50/50. Not only will you generate an income stream for your spa, but you'll be able to highlight your own services to like-minded individuals who just may become permanent clients.
Promote Your Events Across All Platforms
Today, so many venues can publicize your events and reach new clients:
· Posts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram
· Banner on your website home page
· E-newsletter, sent multiple times
· Printed flyers placed in all retail bags
· A sandwich board outside your spa
· Ads in local papers
Think of special events as special opportunities to mix, mingle, engage more meaningfully with clients and heighten your profile with your target market. That engenders the kind of positive response that means business!

"I didn't want them to jeopardize their careers..."
Johnson on concerns that players would turn to steriods.
By Michigan State University alumna and HWTP editorial manager Laina Stebbins
If you're a longtime fan of the NFL, it's a safe bet to assume you're familiar with Pepper Johnson.
Thomas "Pepper" Johnson has quite the track record: 13 years playing football, 16 years coaching it, with five total Super Bowls under his belt (two as a Giants player; three as a Patriots assistant coach). He's essentially lived and breathed football since 1986.
Golf, on the other hand? – Not so much.
"I gotta up my game," Pepper said, who I spoke on the phone with as he made his way back from a golf outing with a friend. "I lost...He has bragging rights."
Where he is now
Just shy of his 54th birthday, Pepper is back living in his home state of Michigan. He is a year removed from his last assistant coaching job, when a New York Jets coaching shakeup in early 2017 saw six members of the staff – including Pepper – dismissed from the team.
Since then, aside from honing his golf skills, Pepper has been working with USA Natural Patches as the company's VP of Sports Marketing. The company sells customizable patches that stick to the skin and administer 75 mg of pure thiamine (vitamin B1) to the user's system.
Vitamin B1 is an essential micronutrient which Pepper says is proven to provide a boost of energy and help the body with overall function. Unlike having to take the vitamins orally or taking shots, "you stick the patch on, and you go," he said.
Pepper first got into the vitamins business in 2016 when he was still coaching for the Jets. It may seem like a random business venture at first – he said his son was "surprised" when he learned his father was in the vitamins business – but the B1 patches have been quite relevant to his career in the NFL. (Click on the photo below to navigate through the photo slide: Former NY Giants David Diehl, Lawrence "LT" Taylor and former NBA player Jayson Williams)
While coaching for the Jets, Pepper said he would approach the players about wearing the patches in part because he was concerned that they might turn to steroids instead for enhanced performance and energy.
"I didn't want them to jeopardize their careers," Pepper said.
He steered them toward the vitamin patches instead, which he said give players the boost they need while keeping them healthy.
Vitamin B1 is also beneficial for brain health – a particularly important component for football players, who are more prone to concussions and long-term brain damage. Pepper said he's talked to plenty of ex-players who fret about the potential damage they have sustained.
"We're bringing more awareness about what B1 does for your mental health," Pepper said.
"We are talking to the NFL and the league officers and trying to get awareness of vitamin B1 with the concussion protocol," he said. "That's going to be huge."
The NFL concussion protocol was established a decade ago in response to calls for the league to better address the diagnosis and management of concussions. The protocol has undergone many adjustments since then, as football-related head injuries have been further thrust into the national spotlight and more has been discovered about their long-term effects.
In addition to raising awareness of the importance of brain health for football players, Pepper is in the process of testing the patches to gain an official "stamp of approval" from the NFL. If the B1 patches are approved, the league's trainers and nutritionists would be able to supply them to players directly.
Pepper said after multiple practices and meetings in a single day that often run into the evening, it can be difficult for players and coaches alike to keep up their energy levels and stay focused.
"A lot of guys are humdrum in those practices," Pepper said, but they "could come back to those night meetings and still be energetic" when they were wearing the B1 patches.
"For me, I would put the patch on and I'd go out to practice...when I came back in, we would have the meetings with the players, and then we'd have more meetings with the coaches, and that's when I really felt the results of the patches and what they do," Pepper said.
On his transition from player to coach
"The transformation, it wasn't an easy one."
Johnson on wearing a coaching uniform standing on the sidelines.
Pepper played his first seven seasons in the NFL with the New York Giants, followed by three with the Cleveland Browns, one with the Detroit Lions, and his last two seasons with the New York Jets before officially retiring as a player.
Two years later, through the NFL internship program, Pepper found himself as an assistant linebackers coach under Bill Belichick for the New England Patriots.
This was not something that Pepper had planned for.
"I wanted to come back to my high school and coach my high school," Pepper said, who had grown up in Detroit and attended Mackenzie High School.
But after the program was over, he was approached by his former coach. "Coach Belichick asked me if I could stay," Pepper said.
"I had two people I had to get permission from: my mother, and my son."
Both gave him the green light, evidently, but the transition from player to coach did not prove to be a very smooth transition.
"It was really rough," Pepper said, explaining that this was largely since his very first season with the Patriots was a difficult year for the team. He was also hyper-aware that being a new coach meant it would take time for older players to listen to him and for younger players to trust him.
He also missed playing the game himself.
"Deep down inside, I still wanted to get out there and play a little more," Pepper said. "It was rough being on the sidelines while other people were having fun.
"The transformation, it wasn't an easy one."
Despite the rocky start, Pepper found his niche in the team and gained the trust of players, even implementing a new team tradition that was a first for the league.
Prior to the 2002 Super Bowl, individual player introductions were the NFL standard for a team's entrance onto the field. The Patriots turned this on its head when they instead made the decision to run out of the tunnel and onto the field together.
"That idea to come out together, not individually...that was my idea," Pepper said. "I had told them, 'we need to focus and get more together.'"
The Patriots won that Super Bowl, and the practice has since all but replaced the previous league standard.
On working with coach Bill Belichick
"He's no tougher than [Bill] Parcells."
Johnson on Belichick's coaching style
In addition to coaching under Bill Belichick for the Patriots, Pepper had previously played for him during his time with the Giants, Browns and Jets.
Belichick is known as a notoriously tough coach to play for. 49ers defensive end Cassius Marsh recently described playing for him as a rather unpleasant experience, saying, in part:
"They don't have fun there [in New England]...There's nothing happy about it. I didn't enjoy any of my time there...It made me for the first time in my life think about not playing football because I hated it that much."
Pepper, having either played for or coached under Belichick for the better part of 28 years, has a different perspective.
"It's tough to try and label Belichick as a 'tough coach' or anything like that, because in my day, all the coaches were tough like that," Pepper said. "He's no tougher than [Bill] Parcells."
"I think in this day and era, a lot of the coaches are just more lenient."
Regardless, Belichick's notorious coaching style has led many to believe that it may be the root cause of Tom Brady's recent string of absences for the Patriots' off-season program. Brady has been working with Belichick for nearly two decades, so there is plenty of speculation that he may have finally had enough of Belichick, and is yearning to leave.
A fair assumption to make?
Pepper Johnson disagrees.
"They have been doing this for a very long time together," Pepper said. "I'm quite sure [Brady] feels comfortable in the system that he has to work with.
"I don't know how much of a concern Bill Belichick has with him not being there. It's just people trying to write stories and screw up something and trying to break all this winning up," he said.
"I think all of this stuff is being blown out of proportion."
Pepper also noted that Brady being absent on the field for the time being is likely giving newer players more of a chance to show their stripes, if anything.
"After so many years, really what do you want from that guy?" Pepper said. "What more can he do there?"
On the NFL national anthem controversy
Speaking of things that Pepper believes are being overblown by the media: "The whole national anthem thing, I don't like talking about it much because that's another one of those things that is blown way out of proportion," he said.
The NFL's controversial new national anthem policy was rolled out early last week following pressure from President Trump, who had been publicly calling for fans to boycott the NFL if players continue to kneel during the national anthem.
The new policy states that players must stand during the anthem, stay in the locker room if they do not wish to, and face fines and/or penalties from the league if they choose not to comply.
"Once upon a time, you had the choice if you wanted to go out and do the national anthem or stay in the tunnel and come out after the national anthem. And so many games, we stayed in," Pepper said, speaking to his experience as a player in the late 80s and the 90s.
Pepper takes issue with the assumption that standing for the Star-Spangled Banner makes you patriotic, whereas choosing not to stand makes you unpatriotic and disrespectful.
"The cameraman isn't standing at attention, the hot dog man isn't standing still," Pepper points out. "And what is more disrespectful – someone sitting down, or someone who is getting ready to sing the national anthem and don't know the words?"
As for those who protest during the anthem: "I'm quite sure the majority of any athletes that in the past have chosen to do whatever during the national anthem [were] not spitting in the face of our troops," Pepper said.
Regardless, Pepper feels strongly that politics have no place in football – or any sport, for that matter.
"I don't think sports and politics mix, period," Pepper said. "I don't wanna sound negative toward athletes, but I don't think that's a good place for politics…and I don't just mean the national anthem."
On his past and future
It's been a little over a year since Pepper was a defensive line coach for the Jets, and he's itching to get back into that world.
"When you get out of the league, it's hard to get back into the league," he said.
Either way, Pepper says he feels fortunate to have played a positive role in the careers of players he's been able to engage with and help over the years as a coach.
"It's about talking to people and understanding them and not coaching them all just the same," he said. "I coach every one of my players individually."
Pepper said he was always getting told to "stay in his lane" for taking his individualistic approach to coaching. "I have a real problem with that, because I have always been that person that likes to help people," he said.
I asked Pepper where he sees himself in a few years.
"I would love to be coaching," Pepper replied. Johnson finally made it onto social media! You can follow him @PepJ52 on both Twitter and Instagram.

Keri and Joseph's Wedding Film
On October 7th, 2017, Keri and Joseph Mielinski got married on a beautiful Florida day in Pompano Beach. They knew each other for six years, but that still didn't prepare them for all the tears of joy they shed that day. Their tears of joy were only outshone by their smiles and laughter. You can tell that their most binding element of their relationship is their friendship, and I hope I was able to capture that through my lens and tell the story of their special day.
Check out their wedding trailer down below and show them some love in the comments!

#BlackSpring is here. #SayHerName is here. Looks like it is going to be a long, hot summer.
What's a white person to do?
Recently, I had the pleasure to participate in the Interplay Hip Hop Symposium at Lehigh University. The event was hosted by the inimitable hip hop theatre pioneer Kashi Johnson and keynoted by brilliant lyricist and hip hop educator Asheru. I gave a lecture about white appropriation of rap. My lecture led to a discussion about how white people fit into the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
Together, we came up with these, the ten cracka commandments for 2015:
1. #AllLivesMatter won't matter until #BlackLivesMatter. This commandment is a litmus test and the greatest commandment.

The making of Heart Art
The Making of Heart Art Sneak Peak!
Over the last couple months we have been working with Shane Nelson, from Omni Fusion Media Productions to make a few informational videos on what Meghan Doll Photography is all about. Together we worked hard to produce two heart warming videos that we will forever cherish. I'm so excited to share them with you in the next week!
The first video we did was an homage to Heart Art…our mantra and motto here at MDP.
What is Heart Art, you ask?
To put it simply, it's art of your loved ones. Every time you see it you'll be taken back in time...Your heart will melt a little bit, you'll find yourself smiling, you'll feel a love so big, you'll wonder how it could all be contained inside your heart in the first place! We believe that this love should be displayed on your walls.
Why did we make this video?
Because heart art is in the foundation of everything we do.
Making a video of what heart is for our clients and the twin cities area has been a dream of ours for a long time. We are so excited we got to make that dream a reality. Here are some screen shots of the final video and a couple behind the scene photos of the shoot!

It's Valentine's Day. Whether you're someone all roses & romance or someone that wants to throw-up a little in your mouth today, there is one love that is so very important. That, my friends, is self-love. In fact, self-love, self-compassion, and self-care are regular, underlying topics here in the Le vital corp Salon. The topics also trickle into the discrete conversations I have with my private clients. If you know you should take better care of yourself, but struggle to make it happen in any realistic way, reach out to me today.
Since we are on the topic of love, can I tell you how much I loved this interview with Galen Ayers? Galen is a student of life - both academically and existentially - and a total dream guest. She's also the daughter of the late and great, Kevin Ayers. Kevin was a pioneer singer and songwriter of the Canterbury psych rock scene in England. Galen, herself, is a force of (creative) nature. She is a musician, writer, psychologist, and activist.
In today's episode, Galen talks about life as the daughter of such a free-wheelin', creative father and a high-achieving mother. In young adulthood, she was the caregiver to her father and shares how that led her to writing and finding her own voice. We touch on wisdom, compassion, and how you can't seem to have one without the other. We also chat about the need for taking recovery days as well as the epidemic of overwhelm and roles in today's world.
In this episode, Galen tells me about her first well-being retreat on the island of Hydra. She will be joined by Vocologist and Vocal yoga expert, Heather Lyle. Super-cool!
The episode is ready for your listening pleasure. Grab a cup of hot tea (or your favorite seasonal beverage), get cozy, and press play.

All of this wisdom is from Galen herself (with some minor edits for readability).
[00:07:55] Your story changes so much every day.
[00:18:52] I learned that people don't really change until they get bored.
[00:40:30] The meditation, for me, I would describe it like going into a field of flowers.
[00:43:24] Well, the word compassion is calm and passion. These are the things that tie us together. What I like about compassion is that it's not right or wrong in my mind. It just is.
[00:44:10] My best realization has been that I always have the choice to add meaning, create meaning, change meaning for anything that happens in my life. No one can ever take that away from me, no matter how bad my outside situation.
[00:47:15] I believe our biggest job is to grow - to rebirth ourselves.
[00:49:56] At 30, I pressed the reset button in my mind. From 30 onwards, I am completely different to 30 years behind me, and I have the right to do that.
[00:51:10] I always put recovery days into my schedule. What I mean by recovery is an hour walk, taking my supplements every day, and doing something that I truly enjoy that no one else cares about.
[00:54:13] If you're feeling shitty, go to bed.
[00:54:42] One of my dad's favorite lines was, "Chance favors the prepared mind."
[01:05:56] The decisions that you make personally are about balancing every day in your favor.
[02:09:57] Your life is a story.
[02:10:56] Don't take things so personally.
[02:11:20] Shit happens to everyone. That pain is an intense, but an inevitable part of life. It shouldn't necessarily be taken personally.
[02:11:40] We need choices of how long the suffering is going to be, and you can find ways of using that suffering as a shield.

Location: 615 Kingsway, Vancouver
When people I just meet find out that I blog about food, 10/10 times the first question is, "What's your favourite restaurant?" For about a year now, my answer has always been Miku but it all changed after tonight's experience at Osteria Savio Volpe. Savio Volpe to me was like the holy grail of restaurants, I've heard so much about it, read stories, even a friend of mine works there. But for some reason, I never made an effort to go.
First off, reservations are highly recommended, if not you may wait 2 hours for a table on a Friday night. We went as a group of 4 so deciding on food was difficult, our server suggested we do the family style chef's choice which is a 5 course meal. Done.
When they say 5 courses, it was more like 10-12 dishes. I kid you not, this was the best "5" course meal I've had ever. We started off with a salad and bread dip (I was already losing my mind on the dip). It was then followed by a prosciutto, cheese, and melon dish (freshly prepared). Then a yellow watermelon salad (first time I've ever had yellow watermelon) which was a nice balance of sweet and savoury. Finally, the kale salad which reminded me of a Caesar salad but much more healthier. What I described was courses 1 and 2.
Course 3 was the pasta.... I made really inappropriate faces during this meal and I didn't even know #foodgasm. First pasta dish was a ricotta ravioli in a butter cream sauce. The second pasta dish was a beef and pork thick noodle (don't remember what it's called) pasta and hands down, it was the best pasta I've ever had IN MY LIFE. I could eat a massive plate of that for weeks.
Course 4 was the meats. Lemon roasted half chicken... wow. Just wow. Another best ever. Such a balanced rub on the skin, you can taste the acid from the lemon and the spices they used. The chicken was incredible juicy. Their steak was pretty good as well, medium rare, perfect char, paired with cherry tomatoes that were roasted in butter. I'll be dreaming about those tomatoes.
Finally course 5, dessert. That vanilla ice cream. Incredible. It came with a cake and some hot slices of fruit, but that ice cream was it for me. Last dessert was an orgasm of a chocolate cake. Dark chocolate with pine nuts and olive oil on the plate.
Savio Volpe has exceeded my expectations far beyond I could have imagined.
"So what's your favourite restaurant in Vancouver?" me: OSTERIA SAVIO VOLPE 100%
Rating: 10/5 mic drop.

This week I'm thinking...
- That maybe I need to buy some more black and white fabrics just to dye them pretty pretty colors.
- But that I need to do a little more work on my technique to get more interesting tray dyes.
- But that no matter what, it's always a hoot to get back in my dye studio again.

Want to get a sneak peek at one of the gorgeous images that will appear in your telephone book-sized September issues in about two months? Check out this lovely photograph by the ultra talented Craig McDean of the gorgeous Kate Winslet for the new St. John Fall 2011 campaign.
I'm a big fan of Kate Winslet, a woman who is as talented as she is beautiful and who will go down in history as one of the first actresses to really talk about her own private body concerns with the press.
Now the gorgeous mother and Oscar-winning actress can count fashion model among her many accomplishments as the face of the legendary California-based label that's a staple of ladies who do lunch (power and otherwise) everywhere. A staple of the power woman's wardrobe, we now have another powerful image to go along with it. Rather gorgeous, no?
The campaign was shot at the legendary Lowe's Theatre in New Jersey, a fitting image and location for this acting force of nature. Looks like St. John has chosen another strong woman for their powerful brand, a good choice indeed.
What do you think of Kate's new campaign for St. John?

I've given a lot of talks over the past couple years about the importance of increasing agricultural productivity. Often these discussions get couched in Malthusian terms related to the need to produce more food for a growing world population. This 2009 document from the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization, for example, suggests agricultural production in developed countries needs to double by 2050 to meet the demands of expected population growth.
I've been in enough of these conversations at this point to know that a common retort is that we already produce more than enough food to feed today's population. Isn't this just an issue of distribution rather than supply? I've addressed this issue in previous posts. Here, I want to draw out an implication of productivity growth that is probably obvious to many academic economists, but perhaps not as widely appreciated as it should be.
In particular, when we talk about increasing productivity enabling us to "do more with less," the focus is often on the "do more" part. That is, increase food production. But, one shouldn't forget the "with less" part. In short, increasing productivity means producing more sustainably.
To illustrate, consider the figure below (this is what we economists call a production function).
The bottom, lighter blue curve shows the relationship between various inputs (land, water, fertilizer, labor, etc.) and output (or food production). The figure shows that we can produce more food by adding more inputs - more land, more water, etc. However, there are diminishing returns. The first few gallons of water (or rain showers) produce a lot of extra bushels, but the next few gallons have a smaller effect. In fact, if we get too much water (i.e., a flood, as some parts of the Midwest are currently experiencing), production can actually fall. Diminishing marginal productivity was at the heart of the Malthusian concern - if we keep adding more population (or workers) to a fixed amount of land, the extra amount of food that will be produced (and available per worker) will fall, and hunger will ensue.
How do we escape this "trap"? Scientific research, innovation, and entrepreneurship allow us to shift up to a higher curve, as shown by the darker blue curve in the above graph. For a given amount of inputs (labor or land), we might actually have more food per person (now and on into the future as long as we continue to innovate and shift the curve outward).
Let's, say, however, that one already thinks we produce "too much." We don't want any more food. Ok. I've drawn the vertical dashed line in the above figure to show a constant amount of food production. But look where this line intersects with the production functions. The figure shows that higher productivity curve allows us to use fewer inputs (less land, less water, less fertilizer, fewer pesticides, etc.) to produce the same amount of food as compared to the original lower production function.
The point? Even if one believes the problem of production is "solved", don't still want to find innovative ways to increase productivity to reduce our use of scarce natural resources?
So, how has US agricultural productivity fared? Here is data from the USDA Economic Research Service.
The figure shows that agricultural output has grown by factor of about 2.7 (i.e., we're producing about 170% more food) since 1948, while use of agricultural inputs, in aggregate, have grown very little and is essentially flat. The gap between the output line at the top and the input line on the bottom is the definition of productivity.
How will this graph look in 2050? Is it possible the trend lines for outputs and inputs can flip? That is, flat output and falling inputs? If total output stays relatively constant, but we can find ways to improve productivity, then total input use will fall. That would be a great sustainability story.

Over the past twenty years, pulmonary and cardiac surgery has expanded immensely and has provided insights which are most useful to the internist. In 1952, Drs. Lindskog (surgeon) and Liebow (pathologist) of the Yale Medical School summarized much of this progress in their Thoracic Surgery and Related Pathology. They have now allied themselves with Dr. Glenn (cardiovascular surgeon) to produce a new edition, Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery with Related Pathology.
The volume reviews the surgical diseases of the thorax and heart and describes the corrective operative procedures available, without going into details of operative technique. Certain pulmonary situations frequently encountered

Feedback on the program has been overwhelmingly positive
Here are a few comments from parents and children:
"The workshop was really fun and they loved the shape game and the activity with the ball where you acted out the emotion it landed on. The girls really enjoyed interacting with the other kids and loved Natalie and Elizabeth. They also really enjoyed the relaxing time at the end while being read to."
"In today's complicated world, empowering my children with the skill of resilience is an investment that is lifelong. Learning resilience I believe will make my kids mentally stronger, more self assured and ultimately happier. Love this investment, thank you Resilience in Kids"
"I feel strong now. Before I would have been a target and now I feel strong."
"Not only does my 7 year old daughter worry less now, but she actually sings on the way to her 'Resilience in Kids' classes as she enjoys them so much. I am so grateful to the team for helping her better navigate friendships and the schoolyard in a healthy and positive way"
"My boys did the program this term and loved it. They delighted me with anecdotes re their personal journey of understanding emotions and reactions. We need the next generation to be more resilient and aware of mental health and this is a great start which I highly recommend"
"It was fun. Loved the games and want to go back."
"My kids loved the session. They've asked if they can come again! It appears to have touched many of the key areas and I've noticed my children talking much more about the different feelings they have. Certainly more to explore here!"
"I am really delighted that there is a program that is specifically created to help kids resilience and self confidence. Skills that they will continue to practice and reflect on throughout their childhood and indeed through their lifetimes. Important life lessons for any kid who wants to be the best possible person they can be in an increasingly complex world. Thank you for your efforts and passion Susie."

The second day is devoted to travel stronghold Grand Prince of Kiev, and later the capital of Galicia-Volyn principality - Lutsk. The town was first mentioned in chronicles in 988 year. It was in the year of the Baptism of Kyiv Prince Vladimir Svyatoslavovych gave the city bears his name, his son Vsevolod. From the time of Vladimir the Great preserved citadel, surrounded by ramparts 10 meters tall.
For centuries, the independent principality centered in the city of Vladimir ruled by the eldest sons of the Kievan princes and pretenders to the throne of Kyiv.

Near the cathedral towering steeple, built in 1494 and is similar to Italian bell-tower - kampanile.
In 1204 Prince Roman Mstislavovich moved the capital of Kyiv, which gradually lost its importance to Vladimir.

Soon the monastery became a powerful stronghold of fortyfikovanymy ground and intimate cave temples, strong walls and tall Gothic towers.
From the Middle Ages Let's look briefly at night Renaissance. To do this, we'll pick in Nyzkynychi, Ukrainian estate mogul Adam pudding. Brave soldier and diplomat, governor of Kyiv, the only Orthodox senator of the Commonwealth, he used his diplomatic talent during the Cossack rebellions and liberation war led by Bohdan Khmelnytsky to search for mutual understanding between the Cossacks and the government of the Commonwealth and stop the bloodshed.

Leg 34 – 13th August
Starting at Staveley and Ending at Langdale
The Days Journey
Leg 34 20.3 miles ( extra from Burnside) 1000 feet of climb.
After the Lord Mayor's show.
Today was always going to be difficult. After the fantastic showing from all at Leg 31 I was prepared for being a little flat.
Ali could not be with me until 1pm as she had to move Motorhome today but managed to walk to meet me as Sam can't get here till 9 tonight….. Sam did Leg 31 on Saturday and met Garry so we at least know what he looks like, but I was a little surprised at the speed that Lamb said yes he can have the gig. I was pleased with his credentials, 25 year old, so not a Pr£&k at Uni, 6 foot blonde hair also ex life Guard, so if I have water problems, Sam should be able to help. Lamb said she would show him how things work, so all should be ok.
I will post a picture so you can see how useful he will be to the team.
Back to the Lord Mayor thingy, as soon as I hit the hill just before Windermere the clouds lifted, the sun shone and for the next few hours the views …..well just took your breath away. I have been lucky and traveled to many places in the world, but never have I seen such beauty as the Langdale Valley, so I sit now having a few pints of Tirill looking out at the hills; to me is heaven, just heaven nothing …..no amount of money or luck can surpass this view we are having (last photo).
Massive thanks to everybody who made Leg 31 happen. When I planned the route out, I never in my wildest dreams pictured so many smiling faces, so well done everybody for making it happen.
Just a fantastic track of the day – so sad we lost such a talent.

Todays Leg is Dedicated to:
Amélie McIntyre
The message below is from Amélie's mum, Natasha.
I just wanted to share my thanks for what you're doing at the moment and wish you well on your way.
This is our daughter, Amélie. She was diagnosed with CF at three and a half weeks old, which came as a total shock to our family, as we weren't aware that we were carriers.… Amélie's daddy had never really heard of CF and my experience was my school-friend, Vic, who was a CF sufferer (she died aged 23). I remember her having a vast array of tablets to take at school and often attending with an iv in her hand. Thankfully, treatment has moved on and Amélie has been relatively healthy, although she developed pseudomonas three days before her brother was born and two weeks after her 2nd birthday.
It's been a tough year but I'm inspired by Amélie's bravery every day. We now have 2 months until the all clear of pseudomonas, fingers crossed! Once again, good luck with your walk and thank you for raising money for a most worthy cause.
Since Natasha wrote this she has been in touch and Amélie has been given the all clear from pseudomonas – fabulous news.
Also today in recognition of the dedication Natasha has organised a Toddle4CF event – just such a lovely idea, and we will hopefully share some photographs and an update of how it went in a day or 2.

The Congregational Action and Response for Mental Health (CARe) Ministry Team is dedicated to raising awareness about the need for good mental health in congregations. Mental health issues affect many persons and the church has a role to play in responding to persons with mental illness and their supporters. One in five people in the Canadian population (including our congregations) will experience a mental health challenge in any one year. One in three will have experience with a mental health challenge over their lifetime. The Synod CARe Ministry Team wants congregations to be aware of the prevalence of challenges to good mental health. CARe also wants to equip them to respond to those developing mental illness, and those in crisis.
The CARe Ministry Team is working with the West Central Area to offer a course offered through Mental Health First Aid Canada. This course originated in Australia, and is also taught in the United States. In Canada, Mental Health First Aid is a program of the Mental Health Commission of Canada. With the support of CARe, attendees register and pay only for food and snacks as the usual tuition fee is covered.
Registrants must attend the full course both Friday and Saturday, and attendance is limited to 25 people. Register on the following link soon!

Rating: NNNNN
No matter how smart or well-intentioned, a person who asks a stupid question is going to get a stupid answer.
The magazine Nutrition Action, which supports forceful lobbying for consumer rights across North America, is definitely smart and well-intentioned when it comes to fat and salt, and the food corporations and regulations that come with too much of both.
But when it comes to organics, the mag's editors don't know enough to keep quiet. In one of their first features on the subject, the July lead article asks Organic Food: Worth The Price?
The trend to organic may be good for insects, animals, soil, air and water, the magazine concedes. "But is it worth the extra price for consumers?"
It's as good a reminder as we'll ever get that the very term "consumption," which mainly referred to deadly sins and diseases until the consumer economy triumphed during the 1900s, is based on the separation of shopping from ethics, nature and social responsibility.
Stopping global warming may be good for the planet, a well-trained consumer will ask, but what's in it for me?
The article goes on to argue that there's little solid human health evidence to support hopes or fears that organics are healthier for humans.
Well, where do I start? There is no way anyone can answer the stupid question as to whether organic offers financially justifiable superior human health benefits, because organic production methods are only one small set of factors in a whole universe of influences and interactions.
So the best anyone can say is, it depends. Sadly, it depends mostly on food manipulations that remain hidden to eaters (the PC word for consumers), thanks to weak labelling laws that favour non-organic producers and retailers.
One issue to be considered is that no two foods are alike, so the impact of using fossil fuels for fertilizer and toxic sprays for pest control will vary according to the food. The Nutrition Action article, to the publishers' credit, includes the "dirty dozen" list from the U.S. Environmental Working Group, which ranks fruits and veggies according to their pesticide content.
Peaches, for example, are the worst. They take a lot of spraying and have hairy skin that holds onto pesticides long after the pests have gone. They also have soft skin, which means more chemicals penetrate the fruit. Strawberries are in the same league. By contrast, onions get less spray and less residue, as do several grains.
But the piece fails to mention that chemicals aren't all equal, though some will decide that the "-cide" in their name (as in homicide, suicide and genocide) is a tip-off. Herbicides (weed killers) are often less toxic, insecticides are usually deadlier, and fungicides are often deadliest. Not that this information is ever on labels. Governments have decided that pesticides are safe, and that should be good enough for any unthinking consumer.
But organic means more than no pesticides, a fact that Nutrition Action's editors don't address. It bans artificial fertilizers, usually manufactured from fossil fuels, in favour of composts that add life and complex nutrients to the soil.
Organic also forbids genetic engineering, on which the article is silent, as are government rules on what gets labelled.
Organic, however, does not regulate many of the things that affect nutrient levels after the food is grown. Organic produce may or may not be left in the field for a few hours after picking, for example, and may or may not be refrigerated immediately. The food may or may not require a long truck ride during which volatile vitamins are likely to be lost.
When it comes to nutrients, Nutrition Action spoke too soon. The article concludes that there's "no good evidence" that organics are more nutritious. But a study in July's issue of the Journal Of Agriculture And Food Chemistry found that levels of various antioxidants are from 79 to 97 per cent higher in organic tomatoes, probably because of organic fertilizers.
As well, a just-released study from the World Health Organization, billed as the most comprehensive and expert study done yet, says the impact of enviro toxins such as food pesticides depends on the age of the eater: the younger, including fetal stages, the more vulnerable, no matter what the dose. That's worth thinking about for those who think the future - though it has done nothing for us to date - is worth something.
Finally, pesticides may disappear from the plants they were sprayed on, but they don't vanish from this earth or even leave the food system. Many end up in the water supply and account for the fact that wild fish get a dose to pass on to consumers who didn't think organic veggies and grain were worth it.
The July 12 issue of Science reports on 4,000 previously unidentified chemicals likely to bio-accumulate in fish, a phenomenon that requires, the Simon Fraser University authors claim, new levels of government regulations.
And that leads to the question that should have been asked: why do governments support rules that favour non-organic production and retailing, allowing that food to pass itself off as having a lower price that deludes many people into thinking organic is not, as Nutrition Action would say, "worth the price."

Reclaim Your Time As a Woman: Making Self-Care a Priority
I just love this picture of Solange. She looks like she is telling everyone in her house that she'll be MIA for a few hours to catch up on some "me time".
Its definitely important to take some self-care time for yourself, even if its just a few hours one day a week. Recharge your batteries ladies!
If you don't take care of yourself first, how else can you be the best woman, daughter, sister, friend, girlfriend, mother, wife or _____ (fill in the blank)? And I'm not saying do this in a selfish way, but in a responsible, set time aside when time allows it kind of way.
The world revolves around our strength, knowledge, prayers, faith, intuition and so much more! So much so that It should be our birthright as women to have our self-care time. Let's all unplug and enjoy our evening...I know I am!
What are you doing to relax and unwind this evening?
With So Much LOVE,
~ Treasure
