Recovery Room: Like Me, Like Me, Like Me (Confessions of a Social Media Addict)
Welcome to the Recovery Room. On the occasional Thursday, I invite guest writers, pastors, therapists, and practitioners to step in and discuss their process of recovery--recovery from any old thing.
Today, welcome Tanya Marlow, theologian, writer, and colourful Brit (hence the across-the-pond spellings below). Tanya is the author of Coming Back to God When You Feel Empty, and writes honestly about God, suffering and the messy edges of life at Thorns and Gold. Find her on Twitter @Tanya_Marlow or Facebook, and get her book for FREE here.
Follow her. You'll thank me.
And now, without further introduction, welcome Tanya to the Recovery Room.
It began as a lifeline at a moment of crisis.
I gave birth, and woke up the next day unable to walk more than a few metres. I have an autoimmune illness, and going through labour was too much for my body. As a new mother, I was also newly disabled, needing to rest in bed for 22 hours a day.
For the first eighteen months, I was excruciatingly lonely. I had no activity, no achievements, and very little contact with friends.
My concentration was drastically limited. No extended chatting time. No books. The magazine-style feed of Facebook was the only thing I could do to fill the beige hours. Lying in bed, desperate for some sort of interaction, I would refresh my Facebook feed every few seconds.
When crisis hits, you grab whatever lifeline you can in order to survive. Facebook and Twitter saved me from loneliness at the most difficult time of my life.
But if you're not careful, the rope that once saved you can become a noose around your neck.
Four years on, and my relationship with social media is not straightforward.
I am still ill. I am still housebound. I can see friends, but only in tiny rations--four friends per week, for 2 hours each time. That's the limit of my socialising. I'm an extrovert; it never feels enough.
When I am tired, I ought to be resting, doing nothing, but then I am back there, in those early days after the birth, staring at the ceiling, wondering if I will ever be well enough to leave the house again.
So I reach for my iPhone, and pretend it's like resting. Social media is an escape from the excruciating pain of loneliness, and the tyranny of boredom. What I really want is to be healthy, and to be back in my ministry job or hanging out with friends in a coffee shop. But I can't have that, so social media is my displacement activity of choice.
Scroll, like, scroll, like, scroll, like.
[tweetherder text="They say that 5-10% of people can't control their social media usage. Why is it so addictive?"]They say that 5-10% of people can't control their social media usage.[/tweetherder] Why is it so addictive? Dopamine - the more-more-more brain chemical, is triggered by the 'likes' and 'retweets' system of social media. Dopamine makes us feel good, but it also makes us crave more.
When I have more energy, my approach to social media is healthier: I love to read and celebrate other people's blog posts, or cheer on others' campaigns for social justice, or catch up with friends' news.
When I am feeling tired, lonely or powerless, it's another story.
Suddenly, I hate every other writer in the planet, because they are more successful, more talented, more photogenic, or, at the very least, more prolific than me. I invent magnificent, outraged speeches to anyone who disagrees with me on Twitter. I want to delete every cute, super-hilarious cat video in the universe and put them into an everlasting internet bonfire where the flame is never quenched.
Ironically, when I am tired is when I most need to step away from social media, but that's also the time I feel its pull most strongly.
Scroll, like, scroll, like, scroll, like.
There are some who want to decry all social media as a modern evil, but I think that is to miss the point. It's about using it well.
More than most people, I have to constantly examine how (and why) I am using social media. Because I am still housebound and severely ill, social media is necessarily my gateway to the wider world - it's all my limited concentration can cope with. Unlike most people, I don't have the option of going for a walk or having a coffee with a friend if I'm feeling lonely or vulnerable.
My compulsion for social media is more like binge-eating than a drug addiction. A drug addict has to abstain from all drugs. A binge-eater can't abstain from food - they need to learn to eat in a healthy way.
I can't avoid it, so I need to control it.
I watch my motives.
If you're feeling powerless, angry, or lonely, it's always going to be a bad idea to scroll through your Twitter feed – but you can use Facebook for the healthier option of contacting a friend. It is an amazing gift of God that I can write, 'I'm feeling sad today,' on a Facebook message to someone on the other side of the world, and I can get a truth-telling reply in minutes that can help me refocus.
So here's three questions I ask myself to test whether I am using social media in a healthy way:
1. Am I interacting, or am I consuming? Scrolling through feeds at speed is like stuffing your face with fries till you puke. We tell ourselves we're productive, but actually we're bingeing, and it's no wonder we emerge from an hour of Twitter feeling slightly sick. Better to read a few updates of interest than to try and eat the whole internet before 8am.
2. Is this interaction serving to deepen this relationship? I can choose to see the stranger on Twitter as a whiteboard to write my opinions upon, or I can see them as a potential friend I am conversing and connecting with. The two attitudes produce very different behaviours.
3. Am I looking to social media to tell me I'm significant, loved? Whenever I find myself incessantly refreshing the page, hoping for more Facebook likes, that's when I know it's time to step back.
[tweetherder text="'Social media is the fast-food outlet of the communications world.' @Tanya_Marlow //"]Social media is the fast-food outlet of the communications world.[/tweetherder] To look to social media to affirm us in our achievements and our popularity is to look to Big Macs to provide our nutritional needs.
I am significant because God says I matter. I am loved because God loves me. It's wholegrain truth, and it's healthier. Sometimes that feels like enough. (Sometimes, however much you want it to, it doesn't feel like enough, and you crave some easy affirmation. At such times, I recommend posting a hilarious cat video).
Over to you:
-What are the motives (good and bad) that govern your interaction with social media?
-When are the times in your life that you find yourself compulsively drawn to social media? Is there a pattern?
-Interaction versus consumption - to what extent does this distinction help determine a healthy use of social media?
Tanya's Bio:
Tanya Marlow was in Christian ministry for a decade and a lecturer in Biblical Theology, until she got sick, and became a writer. She loves singing opera arias, eating dark chocolate and laughing at her own jokes. (Not at the same time). She is the author of Coming Back to God When You Feel Empty, and writes honestly about God, suffering and the messy edges of life at Thorns and Gold. Find her on Twitter @Tanya_Marlow or Facebook, and get her book for FREE here.

" Kimberly gave us the most amazing gift of time and flexibility. My husband and I can now eat dinner together again once our daughter goes down at 7, and we can take her to my parents' house, hotels, etc., knowing that she can adapt and sleep in her new environment because of the tools she acquired after her sleep training. Everyone in our household is sleeping better than ever, and it has positively increased our quality of life. Kimberly was incredibly patient and understanding when I questioned the process or the decision we had made, but she continued to listen to me and validate my concerns. Her positive energy is infectious and creates an environment that will certainly help any family thrive. My husband, daughter, and I are so grateful for the knowledge and tools she gave us, and we give Kimberly our highest recommendation. "

Happy month of Halloween, everyone! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays with the smell of crisp leaves, access to copious amounts of candy and the opportunity to dress up. I've always been a big fan of dressing up in costume. It could be my background in musical theater (being the tush of the camel in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat counts, right?) or that it feels fun to act so silly. I think when it really comes down to it, though, I like dressing up in costume because it feels freeing to be someone else for a while.Read More
Lately I've gotten a lot of questions from potential clients about how coaching and therapy differ. Both are increasing in popularity and folks in the market to "talk it out" with someone want to choose wisely. While some people access both services simultaneously, it's not in the budget for many to do so.Read More
Even the most positive people need to tend to their gratitude gardens sometimes. The soil gets dry, the flowers get wilted, and- let's be honest- it can start to stink. A month ago, I found myself with a dry, neglected gratitude garden. I was waking up in the morning and laying down at night thinking about mountains of logistics and small annoyances. Did I remember to pack school lunch? Oh no, tomorrow is trash day! Did I respond to that email? My daughter was really getting on my nerves tonight. Did I handle that situation poorly? Needless to say, it wasn't a good feeling to live in the muck and I knew something had to be done.Read More

as seen on tv | galentine's day
I am so lucky to have a great group of girlfriends who are supportive, fun, and are always ready for a gif in the text string. This January seemed to take us down hard. Everyone got sick, or their kids got sick, or something dramatic happened that kept us all apart.
We're due for a girls day. One involving booze.
I can't wait to celebrate my lady loves with a fun boozy brunch. This one is so simple that you can whip it up after the kids have left for school and be done in time for a p.j. clad brunch before 9am! (My kids leave at 7:30am)

While I publisher of a magazine called The PROBE (996-1999) I wrote an article addressing this very point. After talking with a Brigadier General who spent his life with munitions and another scientist in the petroleum industry who trained soldiers in making improvised explosives there was simply too much evidence that actual explosion came from INSIDE the building. Even ABC or CBS (I could look it up if you like) mentioned that a seismograph in OK city recorded two seperate explosions around 9 seconds apart. The UHaul on the front street was a diversion. The Media is easily manipulated by those in officialdom. They wanted a lone nut bomber as the fall guy. I found a fertilizer bomb is among the least efficient explosive weapons you can make. The energy in the bomb drops very quickly from the point of its explosion. The Brigadier General I interviewed displayed chart with the decreasing energy for the fertilizer bomb they told the public was used to destroy the Murrah building. In reality it would have only broken a few windows in the building. My article explored some of the reasons for this and the misinformation applied to cover up what really happened. There were efforts to correct this but they failed. A real tragedy as it helped those behind it feel immune to performing other similar operations in America and blaming political targets they wanted eliminated. I am also aware of Tim McVeighs desire to become more involved with the intelligence world. Similar to L.H. Oswald in a few aspects, both were used as patsy's.
I totally agree it was an inside job! Just like Ruby Ridge, Waco, Panama, Red Beckman, William Cooper, I could go on!

I spent much of Thanksgiving this year focused on the multitude of blessings in my life. There is no doubt that gratitude is very good for your health. Countless scientific studies have discovered that an attitude of gratitude is highly beneficial to our mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing. Personally I've noticed that simply stopping to think about two or three things I'm grateful for can relieve anxiety and lift a dark mood. In a post I wrote in August I suggested that gratitude is rebellious, how it frees us from our self absorbed egoic attitude of what's lacking, affording us with the liberating sense of abundance that is our soul's/higher Self's true nature.
Among the discoveries in the aforementioned studies on gratitude are: an increase in vitality and energy, improved sleep, more fulfilling relationships, a reduction in physical pain and depressive symptoms along with boosts in careers.
From personal experience I know that gratitude has transformed my life in many ways. I work in a business that is highly competitive and remember times that I would compare my accomplishments to my colleagues and think they were doing so much better than I was. What I've come to realize is that by self acceptance and gratitude for what I've done and have I experience far greater overall life and career satisfaction.
Gratitude is one of the most effective tools for dispelling negative moods. God's loving presence can be experienced when we embrace the present moment with gratitude.
Positive psychology suggests that Gratitude is if fact an emotion and scientifically the effects of gratitude can actually be measured.
Years ago I was told that "Thank You"is the most perfect prayer. From personal experience that is absolutely true. The only other prayer that comes close is silence.
In closing I'd like to quote the great Ralph Waldo Emerson: "Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude."

Are Minnesota Teams Cursed?
Minnesota sports teams continue to blow it ... I almost envy Wisconsin fans. Almost.
Being a fan of Minnesota sports has proven to be a tortured experience. Extended championship droughts, excruciating losses at inopportune times, blown leads – I have lived through them all, more than most sports fans should have to experience in a lifetime. I am only 32 years old.
Dealing with such heartbreak as a fan can make one fatalistic. Part of fandom is a sense of eternal optimism, the notion that your team always has a chance to win, even when "on paper" the team is athletically and statistically over-matched. Not believing that your team has a legitimate chance of success or victory makes you feel inadequate, as though you are nothing more than a fair-weather fan. However, when the end result of a season is always a loss, or a place finish below first, you come to expect such endings. In a way, this is more realism than fatalism, since the reality for fans of these teams is always failure, to one degree or another.
This explains the fatalism of Minnesota sports fans. We expect the Vikings to not win the Super Bowl, and we expect their last loss to be a pull-your-heart-out late-minute stumble. We expect the Gopher football team to surrender leads of 10- or 20-plus points in the second half. We expect the Timberwolves and Lynx to lose – not suddenly or cataclysmically – just plain ol' lose. We expect these outcomes because this is almost all we Minnesota sports fans have seen.
Therefore, my expectations for the coming football seasons of my favorite teams do not involve a championship. You could say I have already given up, waved the white flag. Well, almost. We cannot totally surrender a season in advance, lest the miracle that was bestowed in 2004 on perhaps the most "cursed" team of our modern times, the Boston Red Sox, is laid upon us Minnesota fans. If that miracle can happen to the Sox, it can happen to the Vikings. No, really!

Terri Lyne Carrington
About this Artist
Terri Lyne Carrington and Social Science was born from a need to express the emotions and thoughts about where we are socially, historically, politically, and spiritually. This alternative jazz band reflects a contemporary/post-modern view on music – an eclectic stylistic blend, borrowing from jazz, indie rock, contemporary classical, hip hop, and free improvisation. It's jazz for the eclectic listener, reflecting the musical and social atmosphere of today. The artists create and interpret music based on relative truths, addressing issues of freedom, racism, gender equity, and multiculturalism, following the mantra that "Creativity Saves Lives." Carrington says: "I feel it is our job as artists to carry out the responsibility of reporting and commenting on what is going on in the communities we are a part of – regarding humanity, politics and anything else that effects our life condition."
Celebrating 40 years in music, three-time Grammy Award winning drummer, composer and educator, Terri Lyne Carrington started her professional career at ten years old, being the youngest person to receive a union card in Boston, MA. She was featured as a "kid wonder" in many publications such as People, EBONY, and Modern Drummer magazines, among others. After studying under a full scholarship at Berklee College of Music, Carrington worked as an in-demand musician in New York City, and later moved to Los Angeles, where she was a late-night TV drummer for the Arsenio Hall Show and Quincy Jones' VIBE TV show. Throughout her extensive touring and recording career, she has worked with luminary artists such as Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Al Jarreau, Stan Getz, David Sanborn, Joe Sample, Cassandra Wilson, Dianne Reeves, James Moody, Pharoah Sanders, David Murray, John Scofield, Esperanza Spalding, Yellowjackets, and countless others. In 2005, Carrington returned to her hometown where she was appointed professor at her alma mater, Berklee College of Music. In 2018, she was appointed as the Founder and Artistic Director of the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice. She is also the Artistic Director for both the Beantown Jazz Festival and the Berklee Summer Jazz Workshop.
To date, Carrington has released eight albums, most recently The Mosaic Project: LOVE and SOUL, which features a leading cast of superb female instrumentalists and vocalists including Natalie Cole, Chaka Khan, Nancy Wilson, Ledisi, Lalah Hathaway, Lizz Wright, Ingrid Jensen, Meshell Ndegoecello, Linda Oh, Patrice Rushen, Regina Carter and others. In addition to The Mosaic Project, Carrington recently combined forces with David Murray and Geri Allen to form the MAC Power Trio. Their current release is a tribute to Ornette Coleman, entitled Perfection.

The average South Indian likes to cover just about anything he owns, with plastic. When I first popped into my new neighbour's house on a goodwill
mission, I nearly ended up under the wraps.
The TV had a cover, the 2-in-1 had a cover, the table fan had a cover, the mixie had a cover, the fridge handle had a cover, the telephone instrument had a cover. The only thing that didn't have a cover was the shiny bald pate of Jambu – the fortyish chartered accountant who soon became a very good friend and chess partner.
Coming back to my cover story, I was realy intrigued. I was curious.
Why was practically everything in the house sheathed in a jacket. I did
an elaborate data-gathering exercise in the apartment block and managed to
compile a list of over 200 responses.
This article has a brief selection. Everything between quotes is verbatim.
I didn't have the heart to edit local flavour.
"If I have to give this fan to my daughter when she gets married, it must look new, no ? " (I looked around to see a 3-year-old playing with her new desi barbie; I saw the doll going back into its original pack after a brief 30 minute
" Look at my fridge, I say…can you guess its age ?" (I must be honest, here – the fridge was in mint condition. And I was told it was 15 years old.)
" When I went to buy a buy a new TV under exchange, I simply got 3000 rupees extra for my 'well-maintained' rumbo old piece…" (I discovered a whole new model on valuemetrics…)
"The remote has cover, because cockroaches attack the rubber buttons." (Lesson learnt : When you eat a laddoo and operate the remote without washing your hands, some of the sweetness gets on to the keys.)
" Please note the point – in my father's house they have cloth covers to cover the plastic covers…" (No argument here: this was value added,)
I must say, all this background research did have an influencer effect on me.
Because, not much later, my wife and I locked horns at a TV showroom on
which TV to buy. There were two brands and we were not exactly on the same side.
The tie-breaker ? One of them came with a free TV cover that could also be placed on our microwave oven..

Former Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann has revealed that receiving a red card in the 2006 Champions League final after bringing down Samuel Eto'o is one of his biggest footballing regrets, but it was not the day football broke his heart.
The now 48-year-old, who made 200 appearances for the north Londoners across all competitions during two spells with the club, joined the Gunners in 2003 from Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund.
During his inaugural season with the club, the ex-custodian played an imperative role in Arsene Wenger's 'Invincibles' campaign, receiving the golden glove for his key part in his side's famous success.
🔛 200 appearances— Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) November 10, 2017
🚫 80 clean sheets
👐 1 @jenslehmann pic.twitter.com/GsZr2Ji1z7
However, following on from that, Lehmann never got his hands on the Premier League trophy again, but did manage to accumulate one FA Cup winner's medal and reach the Champions League final during his first spell with the club in 2006.
Although, it was that famous night in Paris, which saw the Gunners go down 2-1 to Barcelona in the pinnacle match of European club football, which produced one of the German's biggest footballing regrets.
Just 18 minutes into the highly anticipated meeting, the former goalkeeper saw red after tangling with Eto'o outside the area while the Cameroon international was bearing down on goal.
In the end the 10-man Arsenal eventually surrendered their goal advantage and were defeated by the mighty Catalan outfit, a night Lehmann will never forget.
"My one regret in football is… well, I have many", the 48-year-old told FourFourTwo.
"Probably I shouldn't have come out to touch Eto'o in the Champions League final."
However, despite the disappointment of that famous night in France, it was not the day football broke the ex-Gunners' heart.

That came as Lehmann witnessed his national side crash out of the 2006 World Cup, a tournament which was hosted on German soil, courtesy of two last minute extra time goals from Fabio Grosso and Alessandro Del Piero.
That year's hosts were hotly tipped to go on and lift the golden trophy, something the former Arsenal man believes they should have done during his time in the national side, however it was not to be.
"The day football broke my heart was when we played in the semi-finals of our own World Cup at home", he added.
"We conceded in the 120th minute against Italy and we were out. We should have won the World Cup and the European Cup with Germany more than once."
All in all, it just seemed to be a bad 2006 for Lehmann.

Plantone's Italian Market
Fried Ravioli – Cheese Ravioli, Marinara
Pizza Fries – Steak Fries, Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella Cheese, Ricotta Cheese, Meatballs
Chicken Parmesan with Fettuccine – Marinara Sauce, Mozzarella Cheese, Parmesan, Parsley, Garlic Bread
Pizza Bianca – White Sauce, Ground Sausage, Caramelized Onions, Fontina Cheese, Grated Parmesan, Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Nutella, Banana, Strawberry Calzone
Twice visited in the past and thrice utilized for catering it was alongside three adults and a child that dinner service was finally sat down to at Plantone's Italian Market on Friday, past experience yielding a superior Pizza than those ordered for Take-Out but the rest of a five-item order again showing inconsistency, though nothing was particularly "bad."
Now approaching 18-months of service and busy on this particular evening, a heavier prominence on Social Media and updated online Menus perhaps finally spreading the word of Glenn Plantone's tribute to Uncle Tony, it was just prior to 5pm that guests grabbed a high-top before placing an order, the lack of Happy Hour specials admittedly surprising in the setting of a 5/23/18 Instagram post though overall cost remains affordable.
Sticking to counter-style ordering that only serves to confuse first-timers, some thirty feet separating menus from the register, it was shortly after paying the tab that a number and cups for self-service Beverages were provided, items rolling out one-by-one with an entrée of Chicken Parm arriving first, the pounded Breast juicy and light in oil though the Pasta was still too watery which led to Sauce already under-spiced being thinned out and mostly left to waste.
Next receiving six fried Ravioli, the texture fine but neither Cheese Filling nor Sauce doing much to compel anyone to finish one remaining, it was here that a "well done" Pizza Bianca substituting Sausage for Chicken was delivered, the crust still a far cry from Sin City's best due to a lack of leavening but toppings all mingling well with sautéed Onions playing well off crumbled Pork and Fontina.
Rounding out savories with previously "secret menu" Pizza Fries, the Steak-cut Spuds flaccid even in areas not saturated with Sauce or added Ricotta, it was with far less attention to visuals than the one pictured online that a Nutella Calzone was finally sliced, the cost of $10.95 for "Calzone of Day BYO" as listed on the receipt not noticed till later inexplicably higher than the Nutella Pizza regardless of the suggested "1/2 off Happy Hour" which was nowhere to be found.
TWO STARS: Apparently achieving at least some notoriety as of late, though the odd order of delivery with Dessert preceding Fries makes one wonder if the kitchen can keep up with even a 33% filled dining room, Plantone's Italian Market simply does not have what it takes to compete with other locals such as Naked City or Metro let alone the likes of Esther's Kitchen where Appetizers such as stuffed Zucchini Blossoms only cost a few bucks more than the fried Ravioli and handmade Pasta is the same price as Chicken Parm atop watery boxed Noodles.
RECOMMENDED: Asking for Pizzas to be well-done.
AVOID: Pasta, Pizza Fries.
TIP: 11a-9p Sunday through Thursday and open until 10pm Fridays and Saturdays, Happy Hour supposedly 4p-7p daily.
WHAT THE STARS MEAN: 5 World Class, 4 Excellent, 3 Good, 2 Fair, 1 Poor.

Governors, Lawmakers Pressure FDA To Ease Market Entry Of Generic InsulinSome federal lawmakers and governors have been lobbying FDA to ease the way for the production and sale of generic insulin, which analysts say would reduce the cost of diabetes treatment by 25%, the New York Times reports. Generic insulin could mean spending reductions for Medicaid programs -- which spent $500 million on the treatment in 2005 -- as well as for people with diabetes. In addition, some observers say that the availability of generic insulin could ease development of other drugs in the class of biologics, which are medicines made from living organisms. However, many scientists say duplication of such drugs could be difficult, as they are variable and could cause allergic reactions in patients.

What do you do all winter?
I get that question a lot from people. One way I keep busy is by putting out an amateur podcast for my fellow farmers and gardeners. Here's one episode I produced in January, in which I interview a colleague on his mastery of market gardneing, as told in a book he recently wrote.
The Homestead Organic farm produces certified organic produce, berries, and hay in Peachland, BC. We deliver veggies via our CSA type box program to homes in the Okanagan towns of Westbank, Peachland, Summerland, and Penticton. Click here for more info.

It has been a crazy year for women. Historically, though, we know every year is crazy for women. If ever things are going to change, now seems like the moment. WOMAN 2020 is a snapshot of women during this time of upheaval. We are building careers, raising children, living our lives, and trying to impact the world in positive ways, and I believe all women have much to say. This is Lydia's Q&A.
What is your name, occupation, and role (or roles) you most identify with?
Lydia Celine, personal trainer, restaurant server, extroverted introvert, observer, daydreamer, self exploration warrior.
What is the most positive thing about being a woman in 2018?
Options. I can be a single 39 year old woman - no partner, no child, no property - living a fulfilling, connected and purposeful life in 2018. I don't need to follow the roles of traditional society. And what's even more amazing is that I can find and connect with other's who share the same life experience. I am very lucky and blessed to be part of such a self-empowered community.
What is the hardest thing about being a woman in 2018?
Challenging social expectations. Most of my peers grew up with Disney and Barbies, so we were given a very skewed idea of what we should expect from ourselves and from men especially. I continue to struggle with breaking the fantasy of waiting around for Prince Charming to show up on his horse and 'save me'. I have to remind myself daily that I am on my own path - strong, capable and confident in my own right. Men are born into a society that empowers their right to strength and independence from birth. As women we have to fight for it, externally, but also more importantly, internally.
When did you first notice that society treated men and women (or boys and girls) differently?
I remember the very first friend I had was a boy. I was about 4 or 5 years old. We lived in a very isolated area in upstate NY and his family were our only real neighbors. He had 3 older brothers and they started teasing him that he was friend's with a girl. I remember he acted embarrassed and he didn't want to be friends after that. It was the first time that I felt different and excluded. Later on I remember his brother nailed me in the face with a snowball when we were driving by their house. I had opened the car window to wave at everyone playing outside. It stung, literally and figuratively. I felt a very strong and lasting sense of rejection.
How do you maintain your resiliency in these times?
I learned to turn inward, to withdraw, to remain unnoticed. I was a skittish animal. I continued to be bullied and ignored in middle school, and mostly it came from the popular boys. I was called ugly, fat, smelly, weird, potato, chia pit (the joys of hitting puberty before my male counterparts and making the mistake of raising my hand in class while wearing a tank top). So I stopped participating. I became more quiet. I stopped raising my hand. That's how I got through being a teenage female.
Why do you think past movements haven't moved the needle for women? Or have they?
On the surface they have. I feel like it's similar in some ways as other minority movements - laws are passed, rallies are held, marches occur and then the traditional status quo of society can say "see? We don't have racism anymore" or "look, sexism doesn't exist in the workplace". Because by some odd reasoning speaking out somehow equates to equality (as if freedom of speech is all you need to be free), when the only thing it does is start a conversation. I think ultimately the reason why movements of disempowered people fail is because of the selfish greed and entitlement of the upper ruling class. They are not willing to work with creating a society of equals - they enjoy their privilege and their feelings of uniqueness from the masses. Rich, white, elitist males will continue to see independent, intelligent and driven women as a threat to their dominion. So it's easy to disregard these powerful women as bitches.
Do you think the current movement will be the one to change things for future generations? Why? Which movement specifically?
I think we need a movement of bitchy women. We all play too nice and allow ourselves to be stepped on and stepped over. As women we have come a long way, but there are still so much inequality and suppression of the female experience. Even earlier today I was having a conversation with a male client who said that his wife hardly went into labor when birthing their 3 children. He laughed and said "I don't believe child birth is that bad, it's like kidney stones". This disregard of such an integral part of the female experience by a man truly offended me. It goes to show how little people are willing or capable of empathizing with another's experience. And how truly oblivious and ignorant people can be in this age of supposed enlightenment.
What needs to happen for us to move forward?
Speaking up. Saying no. Sharing stories. I do think that the #metoo movement has had some largely positive effects in bringing to light all of the covert and overt cases of sexual harassment and abuse that people have experienced. It's important for us as a society to talk about how female complacency and submissiveness creates situations where women feel coerreced without even being aware of it. I've definitely had experiences in the past that upon reflection I realized I felt harassed, taken advantage of and even abused. And at the time I didn't say or do anything because I felt embarrassed, uncertain, uncomfortable and without options. Learning to stand up for ourselves and to support each other is important.
What can women do to make it better for other women?
Share their own stories of struggle, of overcoming obstacles, of relearning and redefining their roles in society. Listen and engage. Support one another as we go through our own personal journeys of discovering our deeper selves.
What can men do to make it better for women?
Listen. Listen. Listen. Stop dominating the conversation. Don't mansplain to me how giving birth is like passing a kidney stone.
What are some of the influences (people, art, books, songs, movies) you loved growing up that made you realize your power?
Frida Kahlo has always been a background presence in my life. Her art is raw, beautiful, painful, but incredibly powerful to me. She painted her suffering and her love. She was a strong woman who was in love with a man who notoriously cheated on her and broke her heart. I find that part of her life hard, but am still amazed that she smashed down the social norms of her day. Eartha Kitt is another woman of great power and strength, her voice when she speaks, when she sings, just pure fire. She was a force to be reckoned with. She owned herself, she famously said "A man comes into my life and you have to compromise? For what? A relationship is a relationship that has to be earned! Not to compromise for..." ♡ she knew her value.

Snowy Sapphire Point Elopement - Breckenridge, CO Rocky Mountain Colorado Winter Elopement
Marlayna & Austin
Marlayna and Austin came to Colorado from Louisiana for their elopement because Marlayna dreamed of a snowy winter elopement. The thing about springtime in Colorado is that the weather can do all sorts of things. It can be sunny, beautiful and warm, or it can be a white out blizzard. Marlayna and Austin were lucky to experience both of those extremes on their wedding day. As I drove to Georgetown to meet Marlayna and Austin, the weather changed about every ten miles from a beautiful sunny day to a whiteout blizzard and I wasn't sure what weather we would end up with that day.
They chose to get ready separately so they could do a first look. Even with having a non-traditional wedding, it's still great to create a momentous occasion out of seeing each other for the first time because it is a big deal. I helped Marlayna put on her dress while Austin finished getting ready. We added some flowers in her hair as Austin left to get us snowshoes because we thought we might need them. When he returned to the hotel, we went to a little lake near Georgetown with a peninsula that went out into the lake. We decided it was the perfect spot for their first look. As I was lining them up, we could see a snowstorm barreling across the lake right towards them. As soon as they turned and saw each other for the first time, it started snowing and the wind was blowing. It was very dramatic all of a sudden and punctuated the emotions of the day perfectly.
Loveland Pass was their first choice for an elopement space. When we got there, the weather had turned nasty with a total blizzard and extreme winds. In the whiteout conditions, you couldn't see anything. We got out of the car at the top of Loveland Pass, looked at each other and knew this wasn't going to work. Their second choice spot of Sapphire Point would have to work.
Choice number two ended up working even better than Loveland Pass. It tends to work out that way with elopements. The weather is always a big wild card in photographing elopements outside. I've had quite a few elopements that we've had to change plans at the last minute because of weather. When planning your elopement, it's important to have a backup location for this reason.
Sapphire Point is a very busy location, even in early spring and during a snowstorm. We explored off the main path for an adjacent spot that wasn't as busy. It was snowing heavily when we first arrived and we couldn't see the reservoir or the mountains. We started to climb high and higher, and more of the view started to appear through the trees which were lightly dusted with snow.
We had no idea the exact location Marlayna and Austin would be saying their vows. I told them to take their time and feel it out; we had the entire day to find something special and right for them. As we climbed, suddenly, the sun started to peek out, the snow stopped and they just knew this was the place to say their vows. The wind started to blow Marlayna's dress dramatically as they said their vows to each other. It was emotional and beautiful. No matter what else is going on, when you pull out your vows and promise to spend the rest of your life with your person, it's magical. Every single time.
I tell my couples that they should be the ones to pick their spot, to pick where they're going to plant their feet and say their vows to each other. It's a special thing when a couple elopes and it should be theirs to choose. When eloping, you don't have a venue where hundreds of other people have stood before you. I think seclusion, privacy and quiet are very important for an elopement wedding day. I strive to help all my couples find a spot that's off the beaten path and unique for their story. You don't want the spot where you show up and fifty other people are taking the exact same spot. You having stood there and said your vows makes it a place. I always pull out my phone and screengrab the GPS coordinates of the exact spot a couple choose because I think it's so special for them to know.
After their vows, we took more photos of them as a couple. It started to get dark and cold and the other hikers that day started to leave. It afforded Marlayna and Austin more privacy in the mountains on their private wedding day. Marlayna got her wish and they spent their wedding day in the mountains, surrounded by snow, in a scene that looked out of a snow globe.
We're Maddie Mae, Amber, & Tori. We are adventurous elopement photographers & guides based in Colorado that travel worldwide to help fearless couples like you create your unforgettable, wildly different wedding experience—that is completely yours.
Are You Ready to Create Your Own Adventurous Elopement?
If you would like help dreaming up your intimate wedding day, a customized elopement location idea list just for you, planning tools, vendor recommendations, and a creative, laid-back, documentary approach to your adventurous wedding photography—we would love to help you make your adventure elopement dreams come true.

Highlights of Hong Kong
The best
Afternoon Tea at the Intercontinental will be my happy memory of Hong Kong. Other than brunch, this is my favourite meal and I have had many teas, but this topped it. (And I rate the Hyatt Regency in Birmingham 9.5).
We managed to walk in, just before a rain shower descended onto the city on a hot Sunday afternoon and after waiting a few minutes behind two other parties, we're seated (with an apology) right next to the live music. The service, food, presentation and the view all 5 stars. The music was fun too!
**We did pop to the highly-rated Peninsular although I was perturbed that they don't allow reservations so instead you will have to wait in line. After reading the dress codes I was expecting to see the usual sea of ladies in tea dresses in the queue. But no, there were shorts and t-shirts. None of this sat right with me and as we'd made the effort, we went to plan B. Going to the Intercontinental was one of the best decisions of the trip.
It was worth going up hill on the hottest day of the week to the Asia Society at the Hong Kong Centre for the Shahzia Sikander exhibit. The Grade 11 listed building is a former Royal Military Police building – as the canons dictate – and now has a fantastic roof garden. It was shame the sun was about 10c too hot to so we just had a quick glimpse of the free view across the city.
Hong Kong Heritage Museum for the Claude Monet exhibition: The Spirit of the Place. They've recreated the artist's French house in such a magical way that I wanted to just move in. As a bonus, of course this place has a Bruce Lee museum and another statue outside. As I'd grown up with the man's legend thanks to my elder brother, I seeked him out everywhere in HK.
HSBC building – stunning inside and out although surprisingly there is no public viewing gallery, there was an exhibition outside.
Muji Café – when can we have these in the UK?
Chicken Curry doughnut (tastes much better than it sounded) from Panash Bakery
The skyline, especially at night. There's a well-attended light show every evening at 8pm too
Victoria Peak - the most touristy thing we did.
Octopus Card – the Hong Kong transport card can be loaded up and used in shops and for vending machines as well as the incredibly cheap and affective transport.
I just bought one thing – a bag – from Log-On store and I paid contactless without being asked. The transaction went through (with an offer a free gift, a little pencil- case type thing) before I had a chance to get my ID out. Such efficient service.
Mong Kok - one of my favourite neighbourhoods. 'I don't give a Mong Kok'.
Glimpsing China across the border when on a local train was amazing.
What struck me
Getting addicted to watching Asian news channel every day like it was a soap opera, it felt so alien. I never watch any news at home.
Tea - it started with choosing it this drink with afternoon tea instead of my usual 'can I swap it for a pot of filter coffee?' A case of when in Hong Kong..... but pretty soon I was having it everywhere. We had some good coffees too and definitely started our morning with coffee at the hotel.
Politeness - even among the very young, it's just second nature to them. The cute little well-behaved kids in the hotel having breakfast every morning made our day.
Pride - although we notice this everywhere we look-outside the UK. It works - 7 million people piled up high and yet the city moves and they are building infrastructure to cope with more.
Shopping centres. I believe there are 28 and they are huge with seemingly endless floors. Also they are the best places to pop into cool down. I had nightmares about being on escalators for a week after I returned, mind.
Warm water served in restaurants and even at the airport water machines (it was sign-posted). I always prefer room temperature to cold water anyway, but this is better.

Like most arts organisations, MAYK has a board of directors who help us make good decisions, make sure the finances and legal aspects of running a company are all ship-shape, and who offer advice, expertise and support. Being on a board is fascinating and rewarding. You get a real insight into how a company runs, you get to meet different kinds of people, and you learn a lot.
As being on a board is voluntary, we ask people to sit on the board for a limited period, usually three years, although you can extend your term after those three years are over. MAYK's board is going through a period of development as some members step down (including our amazing former Chair Seth Honnor from Kaleider).
So we're on the hunt for exceptional individuals to join the board (including someone to become the Chair) at an exciting period of change for the organisation.
And we're looking for people from lots of different backgrounds. Maybe you've been on other boards before and are looking for a new challenge. Maybe you've never sat on a board before and want to gain experience. Maybe you think you have something valuable to offer us, like a particular skill or expertise.
We think that the best organisations have a diversity of voices, so regardless of who you are or where you're from, if you feel like you have something to offer an organisation like MAYK, we want to hear from you.
There are also some areas of expertise we're keen to have represented on the board, particularly branding/marketing, fundraising and development, creative practice (we're looking at you, artists), law (in particular IP or charity law), and people who work with neighbourhood/community organisations in Bristol.
We welcome applications from anyone regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation or age.
Before you apply, have a read of this information about being a MAYK board member.
Download application pack for board members here.
Download application pack for Chair here.
Do I have to have previous experience of being on an arts organisation's board?
Not at all.
Do I have to have a background in the arts
No – we want to hear from you whatever your area of expertise.
Can I apply in other ways rather than as a written document?
Yes. If you'd like an informal chat about becoming a board member call us (on 0117 925 9999) email us at firstname.lastname@example.com. If you'd like to apply using a video or audio file, that's absolutely fine.
What happens after I apply?
If we think you might be a good fit and you meet the basic criteria, Kate and Matthew will arrange a time to meet you informally. There could also be an opportunity for you to chat to an existing board member. You'll then be invited to observe a board meeting. If you'd like to formally join as a board member after that meeting you'll be signed up in time for the following meeting.

Why bet and why don't?
The vast majority are miserable about being named as card sharks subsequent to the disrespect would everlastingly pester them. Individuals have a few reasons with respect to the game of gambling. Few bet for no particular reason, some to overlook issues, another few to simply sit back. There are individuals who bet truly and there are other people who are essentially dependent on gambling.
Gambling is not all that downbeat, in the event that you understand that there certain undiscovered advantages from gambling which are not exceptionally noticeable and are past the race track or the dividers of casino or even bingo social lobby.
The livelihood proportion credited to the presence of casinos in Las Vegas is around 60 percent. One would not have the capacity to see the circumstance if the casinos all of a sudden quit working.
Gambling is most likely the embodiment of stimulation gave individuals limit themselves and sprinkle discipline inside of them. A few individuals are excessively hopeful about recuperating all their lost cards in the following amusement and consequently proceed with the diversion. These constitute barely a quarter of the gambling populace who are not sufficiently dependable and get into profane gambling.
However there is the other 75 percent of populace who bet mindfully. They are the individuals who know the excitement benefit of gambling and never get into conclusions where they are blinded to profit the first occasion when they hit the card!
Only an exceptionally minor segment of speculators acknowledge how ruinous gambling can ever get. Without a doubt companions, families, occupations, properties, wrongdoing etc soak the decimation brought by gambling when there is no use of self-restraint.
Philanthropy Work
The rewards originating from gambling traps and exercises have given the abundantly required money related asset for each noble purpose. Lotteries and Bingos are being used as a rule in a way that each win contributes a rate of bonanza prize to different philanthropy establishments.
On occasion VIPs show their fitness in distinctive games, for example, the card session of poker in a way that the group of onlookers is entertained and the rewards go towards the magnanimous associations they speak to.
Medical advantages
Studies have uncovered that populace which is 65 years or more seasoned who bet have extensively less reports of wellbeing issues be it gloom, liquor abuse or liquidation. They discover gambling extremely remedial as in a way it keeps them alarm by practicing their psyche.
Retiree card sharks are frequently recreational players who esteem the excitement remainder of gambling. It was inferred that they stay solid in light of the fact that they start by being sound and not in view of gambling.

(WSA & Trail End collections, TESHS)
A Whole-House Exhibit at the Trail End State Historic Site
March 2003 - December 2006
Trail End blueprints (Trail End Archival Collection)
Trail End
State Historic Site
BY THE 1910s, the diminishing ranks of potential domestic servants was being felt all over the country. At Trail End, the Kendricks – no doubt hoping to tempt better quality staff – made sure that the work areas of the house, including the kitchen and laundry room, were comfortable places to work. Gone were wooden-floored kitchens full of smoke and dank laundry areas with no plumbing. In their place, Trail End had a modern sanitary kitchen, a convenient butler's pantry, and a basement laundry room with laundry chute and double-ringer tubs.
The KITCHEN
Historically, because they were work areas and not public areas or family rooms, kitchens tended to be overlooked when it came to allocating space inside the home. Most tended to be small, dark places where wood-burning stoves poured out grease, dust and unbearable heat. Because of the risk of fire, kitchens were sometimes housed in separate outbuildings. Around the turn of the 20th century, health researchers discovered that improper food handling and preparation was a major cause of illness. People soon learned that cleaner kitchens made for healthier families. Dirt floors and bare wood were abandoned in favor of porcelain, ceramic and other easy-to-clean surfaces.
Trail End's kitchen – built with modern materials and conveniences – is a good example of a sanitary, "hospital white" kitchen. Its ceramic floor and counter tiles were easy to clean, as were the porcelain wall tiles, marble trimmed windows and enamel painted woodwork. The white surfaces reflected plenty of light, and the room's large dimensions gave the cook ample space in which to prepare the food.
To control heat, the kitchen could be isolated from the rest of the house by closing the doors to the pantry and hallway. The heat then went up and out through transoms and windows that opened from the top. To prevent hot air and noise from reaching the dining room, the cook would slide the prepared food – pan and all – into the butler's pantry through the small opening next to the sink. Waiting on the other side in the butler's pantry was the maid or housekeeper who would then transfer the food from the pan to a serving dish.
Why does Trail End have a butler's pantry when it didn't have a butler? Because "butler's pantry" is the American name for what the English called a "serving room" or "side-board room." It is a pass-through area located between the kitchen and the dining room used to store dishes, linens and flatware. It is also where food was plated for service. As noted in an 1889 description of a house similar to Trail End, the butler's pantry was to be situated for the convenience of both the family and the staff:
In arranging the rooms in connection with the kitchen, care has been taken that the servants shall be required to traverse as little space as possible in the performance of their duties; the butler's pantry has been put just where it is most convenient, without interfering in the least with the more important rooms.
A spacious butler's pantry also provided a buffer between the kitchen and the dining room: "In this position it serves also the useful purpose of preventing the necessary odors of the kitchen from permeating [other rooms], and is of convenient size, with appropriate dresser, shelving [and] drawers."
Trail End's pantry cabinets are made of butternut and birch. They were manufactured and installed by Lindner Interior Manufacturing of Grand Rapids. The pantry sink and drain board are made of German Silver – a precursor to stainless steel. Because it was more flexible than porcelain, the metal sink was the perfect selection for a room where fine crystal and delicate china would be washed on a regular basis.
Work on the pantry was complicated by changes made between the time the blueprints were drawn and when work was actually begun. In the butler's pantry, for example, the sink was moved from the east wall to the west wall, the door was relocated, and a floor-to-ceiling cabinet was installed in the middle of the room. According to the manager of Omaha Marble, this caused some delay in the setting of the tile, but not a lot:
I am sorry to note that on account of alterations in kitchen and butlers pantry, we will be delayed a trifle waiting for additional round corners, but as the marble will be coming along, the men will be able to work in toilet rooms, and thereby lose very little time.
While such changes were seen as good ones, they impacted more than just one area of the house:
You spoke of enlarging the pantry which is a good idea but remember that the brick wall between the pantry and kitchen supports the floors above and that iron work will have to be substituted should you wish to move this partition.
Trail End's original icebox was a built-in model that stood in front of a ground floor window. Outside stairs leading up to it allowed the iceman to deposit his product in the top of the box without tracking mud and straw into the house. An additional cold storage area was located in the basement.
Doing the laundry was once a grueling chore. In homes without running water, buckets full of well water had to be hauled into the house, heated on the stove and then poured into large washtubs. Clothes were scrubbed by hand with harsh soaps, rinsed in hot water, and hand-wrung before being hung to dry. Even in households with indoor plumbing, washing and drying clothes usually occupied an entire day. The popularity of starched white shirts, lacy dresses and linen sheets made laundry a task that required a great deal of time and attention.
During this time, other household tasks had to be ignored. There wasn't even time to cook. Wash day was often relegated to Monday because elaborate Sunday dinners provided plenty of leftovers. (Ironing day, incidentally, was usually set for Tuesday.) As noted in one book of household hints:
Monday is the washing day with all good housekeepers. ... Do not have beefsteak for dinner on washing or ironing days – arrange to have something roasted in the oven ... Do not have fried or broiled fish. The smell sticks, and the clothes will not be sweet; besides, the broiler and frying pan take longer to clean.
This same book suggested that homemakers with servants take washing and ironing into consideration when planning for guests:
When inviting friends to visits of a week or more, try to fix the time for the visit to begin the day after the ironing is done. The girl [house maid] feels a weight off her mind, has time to cook the meals better and is a much more willing attendant upon guests.
Even without electric washers and dryers, Trail End was well-equipped to ease the wash day blues. The housekeeper and maid retrieved dirty clothes and linens from the laundry chute, located just down the hall from the laundry room. In the laundry room, they washed and rinsed the clothes by hand in three large sinks along the east wall. The wet material was wrung through wringers attached to the tops of the sinks, then hung to dry on the circular clothesline located in the west yard. While Trail End's laundry facilities later included a pair of electric washing machines, the family never installed an electric clothes dryer. Clothes were always hung out to dry.

The TwispWorks campus consists of 16 buildings on a forest service property that was acquired by the Twisp Public Development Authority (PDA) in 2008. The vision for the site was to create a dynamic hub where small businesses, non-profit organizations, artists, craftspeople and the community at-large could come together to collaborate and learn from eachother, with the ultimate goal of supporting the ongoing resilience and economic vitality of the Methow Valley. As volunteer chair for the PDA board, Ray Johnston structured and managed a programming and design process that resulted in the creation of TwispWorks- a community asset that continues to grow and thrive.
Over 400 citizens participated visioning and outreach sessions during the "Hopes and Dreams" phase of the project, ensuring broad support for the creation of the TwispWorks campus. After property acquisition and the definition of specific areas of activity, "Mission to Program" teams were formed to refine descriptions of the various activities on the site. These documents were the basis for a Master Plan charrette that involved 70 people in 5 teams exploring designs for the site. This large gathering worked for 4 hours
resulting in a final Master Plan for the site.
Now open to the public TwispWorks is a 6.4 acre campus designed to share, collaborate and celebrate the vibrant culture that makes the Methow Valley a special place. From gardens to artist studios, shops, classes and live music the former Forest Service property has been rehabilitated. Over 38,000 square feet of usable space now serves as the home to 35 businesses, civic organizations, nonprofits and artists operate on campus.

The way to an ASEAN Economic Community, envisioned by the 10-member Association of South East Asian Nations to come about in 2015, is going through a rough ride, a ranking official of ASEAN said on Tuesday.
At the moment many of the member-states are experiencing difficulties in complying with or implementing the requirements for an integrated economic community, ASEAN deputy secretary general Dr. Lim Hong Hin, told participants to the annual Punongbayan & Araullo CEO Business Forum in Makati City
"Despite progress in a number of areas, 28 percent of AEC measures due to be implemented for 2008-2011 are still pending as of end-August 2012," said Lim.
These measures cover trade – customs modernization standard and conformity and services liberalization – investments, agriculture, consumer protection, and ratification of transportation agreements.
ASEAN members have failure to comply with decisions, treaties and protocols at the national levels, Lim noted.
"Others point to implementation bottlenecks due to lack of necessary funds to support the integration measures, particularly at the national level," Lim revealed.
"This is a concern because failure of many ASEAN countries to follow through on their commitments may undermine the success of AEC," he said.
The Philippine scorecard showed 104 of 110 measures have been implemented during the Phase 1 of the ASEAN Economic Community blueprint, said Trade Undersecretary Adrian Cristobal Jr.
Two of the measures Philippines still needs to comply with are in the areas of transportation and infrastructure, the Philippine official noted.
The role of private sector role is vital for the ASEAN Economic Community to succeed, Lim said, encouraging it to take the lead in raising investments and productivity, adopting a sound risk management practice and risk analyses, and promoting corporate governance and consumer education.
At this point he discounted the idea of creating an ASEAN single currency, saying "the time is not ripe for a discussion on a single currency just like the euro."
AEC is a single market and production base economy where goods, services, investments, capital, and skilled labor can flow freely within a community of nations – home to 600 million people and a combined gross domestic product of more than $1.13 trillion.
During the forum, Lim said the association is looking forward to start discussions for a broader economic partnership with six non-ASEAN countries before the year ends. The idea was to create the biggest free trade area in the world
"In support of greater integration with the global economy, ASEAN countries are actively working to launch the start of negotiations for the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership with China, Japan, Korea, India, Australia and New Zealand by the end of this year," Lim noted.
These countries have existing free trade agreements with the regional bloc, including the ASEAN-China FTA, ASEAN-Japan, ASEAN-Korea, ASEAN-Australia and New Zealand, and ASEAN-India.
"Despite differences, we want to move forward... and come out with a guiding principle to create RECP," said Lim.
ASEAN+6 would cover wide areas of the Asia-Pacific region, and Lim said is more feasible and realistic than the Trans-Pacific Partnership. "Once completed, it will be the largest FTA in the world."
The 2005 Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement is a multilateral free trade that claims to further liberalize the economies of the Asia-Pacific region.
All efforts at creating RCEP were aimed at consolidating all free trade agreements entered into by ASEAN. "The goal here is to promote wider economic integration," Lim said.

our story
The Confluence tale began over 10 years ago, in Ross Alger's backyard.
Surrounded by friends with a 10 lb. bag of Russets, some boiling water, bakers yeast and crossed fingers, Ross began his journey into the world of distilling. Although the first (few) batches didn't turn out too well, Ross was steadfast in his desire to craft a spirit from scratch.
After years of small batch experimentation, studying the science of craft distillation and a degree in engineering, Ross fine tuned his spirits to create a taste unrivaled.
So once again, Ross crossed his fingers and gathered his closest friends to lay down the foundations of Confluence Distilling.
But the story of Confluence isn't just about the love of spirits and science, it's about a desire to create a better Calgary. Confluence spirits are a means for Calgarian's to connect with local culture, art, cocktails, and of course - each other. Confluence is Calgarian, through and through, and we won't rest until we make this great city even better.
Located in the Manchester district, the heart of Calgary, Confluence Distilling is proud to create a premium handcrafted spirit, with locally sourced ingredients from family farmers.
Every small batch contains handpicked botanicals with fresh water from the nearby glaciers, and is distilled with scientific precision.
We hope you enjoy every sip, and remember, our spirits are best paired with a friend.

Detox Day 3: Elimination Time./
Happy Friday, and Happy Detox Day 3! Today, we cut down our foods list by eliminating nuts/seeds, grains/starches, sweeteners, meat/poultry, and dairy alternatives. We also upped our AdvaClear supplementation to two capsules, twice between meals, but our UltraClear Renew dose stayed the same. Our bodies are officially moving into detox mode!
Holy mackerel! Who even eats mackerel? Just when we thought fish as our ONLY animal protein until next week might kill us, Heather, our Medical Director, offered the perfect words of wisdom. "I think we shouldn't think about this part as an elimination. We should think about it as an introduction of foods we might not eat too often." This is a great point! Even if you are craving those staple foods that you usually lean on, it can be a fun experience to make a new recipe, and maybe your family will really enjoy a new ingredient on the table. So, thank you, Heather! Moving forward, we pledge to keep an open mind and stick to our recommended food list, even if we don't like fish.
In general, a lot of us were feeling good today. Feedback included having less bloating, and more energy. A few of us even realized that not being bloated was uncommon for us. Hmm, are we discovering a food sensitivity, perhaps? We know eliminating foods can be an efficient way for our patients to pinpoint triggers for common complaints like bloating and abdominal discomfort, but as we practice what we preach, it is exciting to realize how we, too, can benefit from giving extra care toward our diet.
Metagenics does a great job of providing recipes for us on each day of the detox. A few of our girls made the Vegetarian Chili and loved it! If you are still considering recipes to try this weekend, see below for a few more easy ones from Metagenics that you won't find in your guidebook.
Thanks again for checking in, and pat yourself on the back for us! Healthy decisions benefit the mind and the body, and we are so glad you've chosen this one with us.
Bonus Recipes
These recipes are good for today and tomorrow (as well as Days 8 and 9).
Oven-Roasted Veggies (multiple servings)
- Garlic cloves, crushed
- Olive oil
- Seasonings to taste (e.g., rosemary, oregano, tarragon, basil, salt, pepper)
- Any combination of the following unpeeled, washed veggies, cut into bite-sized pieces:
- Eggplant
- Small red potatoes
- Yellow or green summer squash
- Mushrooms
- Asparagus
- Red onion, peeled
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss veggies with crushed garlic cloves and olive oil then sprinkle with your favorite herbs to taste. Spread in roasting pan in single layers and roast approximately 45 minutes in preheated oven until veggies are tender and slightly brown, stirring occasionally. Season to taste. Serve immediately while warm.
Spaghetti Squash (serves 6-8 at 1 cup each)
- 1 medium spaghetti squash, halved with seeds removed
Place squash cut side up on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for about 30-40 minutes, depending on its size, or until easily pierced with a fork. Do not overbake. When squash is cool enough to handle, scrape inside with a fork to release spaghetti-like strands.
TIPS: Top with Fish Creole (recipe in guidebook) or combine with Ratatouille (recipe in guidebook) or other vegetables for a vegetarian entrée. You can also top with some unsweetened spaghetti sauce.
