Olympus has produced a beautiful series of videos on YouTube whereby its ambassadors visit some stunning locations, exploring Lapland, Faroe Islands, Iceland, and Namibia. What's noticeable is that all of the Olympus Xplorers are men.
As an industry, photography has a reputation for being male-dominated, and this is reflected in some of the major manufacturers occasionally forgetting that half of their potential market is in fact female. Just over a year ago, Nikon presented a team of 32 photographers as the face of the Nikon D850, but failed to include a single woman. Unlike its Instagram, this Olympus campaign seems to be of a similar attitude: the Xplorers series on YouTube revolves around the heroic image-making achievements of men. Across the various videos, one or two women have a very brief presence, holding a camera for split second, but otherwise spectating as men discuss maps or light fires, and then posing to be photographed. Ultimately, it reinforces the stereotype that men are active and achieve things, while women are passive and, when included, are there simply to look pretty.
In stark contrast, the outdoor industry — a sector that's arguably perhaps a little more progressive in its attitudes towards gender — is up to speed with the fact that women are equally capable of going on adventures. This is a realization that has largely been driven by greater recognition of equality and women's increased spending power. To a frequent consumer of outdoor industry-related media, the way that Olympus is perpetuating stereotypical gender norms with its Xplorers series feels strangely out of place.
The photography industry seems to be a little slower when it comes to understanding gender politics, and while it may seem that the overwhelming majority of photographers are men, the numbers don't necessarily agree. These statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor suggest that of 205,000 photographers, 47.7 percent are women. When you also take into consideration the fact that women account for 85 percent of all consumer purchases, you have to question why so much of photography's media is geared deliberately towards men and is at times markedly sexist. I've lost count of the number of male photography YouTube gurus who are perfectly happy to present themselves as technically skilled, all-knowing fonts of wisdom while female models stand awkwardly alongside, not speaking, often unnamed, offering some flesh for an audience that is assumed to be unable to make it through a video if there isn't something pretty to look at.
In its defense, Olympus's Instagram account is a different story, featuring several well-established female outdoors photographers. Perhaps its YouTube department simply needs to catch up.

So much SJW
Just like those whiny "War on Christmas" people or the people who say everyone should have to speak English all the time.
Oy. They've probably done the market research and found that the majority of their user base is men. So what?
So, they loose revenues.
It's important to realize that advertisements often target a specific audience and no one should feel deterred from doing what they love because of perceived gate-keeping.
Photography is for everyone. Nothing about this says 'MEN ONLY.'
It's important to realize that advertisements ALWAYS target a specific audience...
Fixed that for you.
Go play with your dolls! Cameras are for BOYS!
Unsurprisingly the senior management is all male : http://www.olympusamerica.com/corporate/corp_meet_our_leadership.asp
So you're saying men are better at photography AND management? ;-)
Oh here we go~
Somebody has to stirred this up. This thread has been entirely too civil up 'til now! ;-)
<sigh> Fine....
::Walks away and locks himself in a quiet room with some vodka.::
I would rather say that they are confined in their "alpha male bubble" and too blind to see the potential in changing their approach.
oh goodness.
My niece is a premier wedding photographer and loves her Nikons. At Thanksgiving we were discussing cameras and lenses and know one else had a clue what we were talking about.
What is the percentage of women who occupy this job?
Zero percent?
Excellent guess, William!
Not that it has any relevance to anything, but what job is this?
Helicopter electrical lineman.
Yeah I know it's not relevant, but come on females love photography just as much as men. Perhaps they don't gravitate to exploring the hinterlands, but they really know portraiture and newborn photography, you know just name a couple of sectors.
"Helicopter electrical lineman"
I'm actually impressed by how obscure a reference you've managed to pull out here. LOL! Maybe it's actually not that obscure, but it's certainly something I've never heard of. :P
Don't generalisize genders. We are all just photographers and we all have our favourite sectors. The gender doesn't matter at all!
I love exploring the world and shooting landscapes.
Bare hand helicopter stopper
The future isn't looking too bright, with the total backfire of the #metoo movement:
People said the same thing about other Civil Rights laws.
"Don't go stirring up trouble asking for your rights."
Didn't work then. Probably won't work now.

Planet Femme fragment: Laila Sunrider
(Note: Planet Femme is a somatic speculative fiction novel that I am writing. Here is an excerpt.)
Laila crested the hill and started the long descent down to the foothills of Vegoia, the wooded, mountainous region that covered much of Aurora's greater mound. Of all the earthships, Aurora was the most dynamically shaped; potato-like, or even hourglass-shaped, like one of Mars's moons, with two distinct sections (colloquially referred to as "mounds") and a very cinched throughway in the middle. A lot of the terrain of this former asteroid was named after the Etruscan pantheon; it was agreed when the earthships were terraformed that all geographical references should be related to deities that were no longer worshipped, and only from cultures that predate the war paradigm that caused the Mother's eventual demise.
Laila was on her way to visit Maayana Sunrider, her copilot and sometimes lover. Maaya had been disconnected, and was housed in one of Feronia's dens to recover. Feronia was the relatively flat woodland that intertwined with Vegoia at the foothills of those great mountains. Where Vegoia's terrain was more alpine, Feronia's was lush and temperate. All of earth's interlocking ecosystems were included on most of the asteroids in a highly compact fashion, housing as much of earth's life as could fit before the Demise. Gaia's Ark, as the elders would say. That said, only Maya, Aurora's older sister earthship, hosted a desert, populated by desert life, occasional oases, and nomadic tribes, its presence hotly debated among Maya's more temperate-dwelling denizens.
Aurora was pregnant, and heavily so. As such, she was moody. Piloting her was a lot more difficult than usual. Additionally, the number of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes on her west side had increased considerably as she had expanded; the villages on her east side were overflowing with temporarily displaced citizens, following the protocol from Aurora's first pregnancy. She had been pregnant once before, very early on in the program, and it had been a miscarriage. It had rained for weeks, if not months, afterward, drastically affecting the nascent landscape and throwing the harvest season for a loop for several earth-years to come, though the volcanic ash and heavy rain and microclimate of the west had ended up creating a hyper-fertile wedge of earth, where citizens were able to finally successfully grow tropical fruit and vegetables from seeds in the alpine Vegoia seed vault. The irony of the lateral abortive fecundity was not lost on the population, or Aurora herself, who felt ever the more determined to have direct progeny of her own. Thus, when the new finally came to pass that a shipseed had taken, Aurora was both overjoyed and distressed. She was sensitive and emotional about being pregnant again, euphoric with relief and desperate with concern, wanting more than anything to carry this pregnancy to term. There was a chance, some said, that she could birth a new earth, if the Sunriders were able to locate a viable solar system in time and bring her into orbit before she went into labor. If not, then another earthship: a less exciting outcome, though nonetheless cause for celebration. The earthship populations regulated their birthrate for the benefit of the entire system, and more real estate meant larger families for all species involved, human and nonhuman alike, as well as more possibilities for evolution.
Laila knocked softly on the door to Maaya's den, the den reserved for Sunriders in recovery from disconnection, and when she heard a resigned grunt of permission from within, she entered. Since Maaya was by far the Sunrider who was disconnected the most, she had taken it upon herself to more or less nest and decorate the spitefully named "Disconnection Den" as she saw fit. The dens were a kind of baita; stone houses built into the sides of hills in the former Italian Alps, but with some earthship variations. The walls and floor of the house were stone, and the interior was paneled in wood. The roof was made from the same materials as the bubble that encased the earthship herself; a highly flexible, partly organic, highly durable solar panel, able to absorb light and become bioluminescent from within, giving the interior and exterior of the house a soft glow. Moving through space within a translucent bubble more or less meant travelling through a permanent night; to counteract this, the bubble would absorb and stockpile solar energy, using it to become opaque and luminescent for half the day. When there was enough solar energy stored, Aurora could even trace the orbit of a fictitious sun in the "sky." As daytime became nighttime, the bubble would perform its best imitation of a decentralized sunset, rippling with warm, sometimes Aurora Borealis-worthy colors, before becoming transparent to reveal the naked vacuum of space.
The dens were designed as hermitages, places for recovery and contemplation, and therefore very modest in construction. The central table of the one-roomed dwelling was adorned with a handwoven cloth that Maaya had learned to make as a child, in the colors adopted by the Sunriders of her family: red and green. On the wall was a framed poster that had been passed down in her family for generations, of a woman dressed in white, with baby's-breath woven into her afro, smiling softly. Maaya called her "Grandma." She didn't know whom the person in the poster was; she felt like it might have been a relative, or perhaps a celebrity, but she'd never know. Nevertheless, during times of disconnection, she would harvest baby's breath (that she had planted) from the den's garden, pick out her afro, and adorn it with the tiny white flowers, moping around in her long white gown reserved for such occasions.

There is so much character around El Paso. During my last week in El Paso before migrating all over America for my husband's medical away rotations, I decided to explore the Socorro mission trail. Originally, I had wanted to attend the Mission Festival but when I arrived at the festival grounds at noon (as advertised online) I was told that the festival was going to start at 5pm because no one was there. Very word of month. Very El Paso. But I was already in Socorro. Sweaty and in dire need of refreshment, I decided to explore Socorro nonetheless. It is full of color and culture. If you haven't been, here's some tips about what to see!
Talk about an oasis! La Tapitia is the cutest local Mexican restaurant. The tacos were amazing, very authentic and the service was so friendly and welcoming. Obsessed with this small business. If you are in East El Paso or even passing through the area, this vibrant restaurant is definitely worth the stop.
Bright white against a sea of burnt orange dirt, the missions stand majestically as a window into El Paso historic Catholic heritage. Though I didn't get to experience the Mission Festival, I made a visit to the Ysleta, Socorro, and the beautiful chapel of San Elizario. The interiors house excellent examples of Spanish and Mexican art.
Just down the block from the San Elizario mission is the historic San Elizario Art District. Within the rows of adobe galleries are many famed Southwestern artists who are as fascinating as they are friendly. El Bandido, a small watering hole, has live music on Fridays. In fact, Socorro has a life music series in the summer as well as frequent art markets. I'll definitely be forcing my hubby to take me back for dancing and to check out this area more.

Having recently returned to my home country, I am excited to be at La Fortuna Suites, where I can share with others my passion for nature, adventure, and the great beauty of the central valley.

We highly doubt you noticed it, but Paul Weller made a secret cameo in Sherlock tonight – but his heavy disguise meant that it proved pretty tricky to spot the Modfather.
The former Jam frontman's appearance came at the end of the episode – during a montage that showed Sherlock and John solving mysteries at 221b Baker Street after it was rebuilt following a devastating explosion in tonight's episode.
In the sequence, Weller was dressed as a Viking who became jammed (eyyyy) in a sticky situation.
But in his Viking garb, it proved pretty tricky to spot him.
The cameo was arranged because Weller is good friends with Martin Freeman – and he previously appeared in the video for Paul's 2015 single 'Pick It Up'.
This guy managed to spot the elusive cameo.
And quite a few others were slightly confused when Paul's name rolled in the credits.
Have we just found an unlikely star for the next series of Sherlock, should it happen?
Here's damn well hoping.

The Word
He never sinned, nor ever deceived anyone. He did not retaliate when he was insulted, nor threaten revenge when he suffered. He left his case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly. He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed. Once you were like sheep who wandered away. But now you have turned to your Shepherd, the Guardian of your souls. (I Peter 2:22-25)
Humble and grateful. Those are the words to describe the responding emotions upon reading this passage. How could Christ, perfect and without sin, love one so imperfect, self-centered, and broken as me? I am not alone, for all humanity, without Christ, finds itself in hopeless darkness, in the putrid stench of self.
There is only one truly pure, holy, and able to resurrect the listless soul. He has made light in the darkness and life where death once reigned.
The writing this morning is within the sounds of a peaceful stream, the gentle croaking of tree frogs, and a few crickets about. The best word to chronicle this morning and moment? Peace. The optimal word to describe Christ as the Shepherd and Guardian of the soul? Peace.
You are my Shepherd. What more could I need now that the God of creation faithfully and carefully watches over me? Amen.
"Give us today the food we need."

Imagine waking up tomorrow and not worrying about showing appointments, rent collection, and maintenance calls. That's a good morning. That's what we do.

Simple Communication
Unanswered emails? Confusing phone trees? That's not what we're about. During business hours we have staff ready to answer your calls, and we're happy to communicate by email.

24/7 Emergency Services
Rentwell provides every resident with a toll free 800-number that is available 24/7/365. This attentiveness reduces the cost of maintenance by instructing tenants on how to handle problems until a professional arrives.

The Saragossa Church of the Nazarene has raised thousands of dollars and is closing in on a goal to put in 10 wells in Africa, with a number of wells are already operational and leading to greater faith in Christ.
Greg Tinker, who became pastor of the church 18 years ago, noted the Saragossa church only had 12 people when he came in 2000 (today it averages 75) and had $1,000 in the bank (which has improved since then). As he was teaching and coaching at the time, he asked what would have been his salary be given to others.
"Our goal became from the very beginning to give away half of whatever came in — to be mission minded and give to others," he said. The church and the missions have grown; the missions for this area include home renovations needs, as well as mission work in Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina. Tinker said the church also regularly gives to a number of local organizations, such as Hope for Women, the Walker County Coalition for the Homeless and Life is Hope.
"We're heavily involved in Haiti" on missions, he said, with church members going there and giving to support three orphanages and two schools in Haiti, through local mission organization Life is Hope. Giving was also given for African projects as well.
A Nazarene missionary meeting in Alabama in May 2017 introduced Tinker to African missionary Wellington Obotte, and his wife Hellen. The Kenyan-born couple work across the nation of Malawi in southeastern Africa, as well as Zambia and Zimbabwe, and the Alabamians helped them purchase a vehicle to cover the ground.
With some building needs concerning a three-building conference center in Malawi, Saragossa sent a seven-person team to Malawi in July 5-21 this year to join other Nazarenes in work on the second building. The church later sent more funding to help complete the work.
Word came on Oct. 2 it has been completed, and $40,000 will be raised in November and December by the church for constructing a third conference building to give African ministers a Bible college education, as most don't have transportation and have to walk.
While working there in July, a well was used by locals that had been built by the Nazarene church, he said. Traveling through the country, they noted Christians there have been told they can only use some wells if they joined other non-Christian faiths.
"So it is water through coercion," Tinker said. "The Christians have been basically marginalized, pushed out."
Moreover, the infant mortality rate in Malawi is "off the charts," he said. "The life expectancy there is much less than in other parts of the world because they drink dirty water," as rivers and lakes are contaminated. People also walk miles to get water.
He said having wells give the people clean water to cook, drink and clean with, something Americans take for granted when they turn the water faucet on.
"So as we thought about it and prayed about it, God impressed upon us we needed to be involved in drilling wells where water is free and people are not coerced in any way," Tinker said. "They can co me to the well, they can receive water for free, but we would drill them by a church, so that when they come to get the physical water, they can also receive the living water of Christ. So it had a dual need."
Tinker asked Obotte how many wells were needed, and he responded with the number 200. Tinker asked then for a "Top 10 list," and Obotte quickly came up with a list that would still affect thousands of people.
With presentations starting in late July, Tinker spoke to his own church and to fellow members of a diverse Bible study group that he meets with at Warehouse 319 on Tuesdays at 6:45 a.m. Both groups enthusiastically joined in to help.
While the wells were going to cost $8,000 per well, supporters prayed for favor that the cost would be less. After a long discussion between Obotte and the driller, the cost came down to $6,000 per well. A couple of individuals gave $8,000 each to add to an already established account, and three wells were drilled immediately. Another man discussed the situation with Tinker, and the man "took out his checkbook and wrote a $5,000 check."
Tinker "envisioned taking until next May of 2019, raising maybe one well per month" on the project. Now, in the span of roughly two months, almost $50,000 has been raised.
"Six wells have been drilled and are functional," he said. "The money has been sent for wells Numbers 7 and 8. And we are on our way to well Number 9, but wells 7 and 8 will be drilled soon. ... We will be 80 percent complete within two months. What I had envisioned would take 10 months we now, through God's generous grace and mercy, and the overwhelming generosity of his servants, has provided $50,000 and we've drilled those wells.
"Out of that already, there are people coming to Christ. One church as been planted as a result of that. What has happened already is miraculous."
Technically, $10,000 more is needed for the current project, "what we hope is that this will keep going, that 10 won't be the ending point."
All the money raised goes to drill the wells, as there is no overhead on either side of the world, he said, pointing out the church is paying the transaction fees.
Tinker noted he had received one video from Obotte of a crowd, with one child apparently about 8 or 9 years old.
"When they really hit water, and it gushes out of a well, he starts doing a happy dance," Tinker said. "I told my church, that one scene makes it all worthwhile to see how excited that boy was. He's not going to have to walk to the river. He's not going to have to walk to the lake. He won't get tainted water."
He said the church hopes to continue working with the Obottes, who are coming for the first couple of weeks in April to Alabama. Tinker suggested that other churches could work through Tinker to invite them to speak to their congregations at that time. His email is firstname.lastname@example.com.
The church continues to be invested into the project. When weekly update numbers are announced it church, the congregation claps and celebrates the news, he said.
Denise Clements, one of the seven who traveled to Malawi on the mission trip in July, emailed, "It was an unforgettable, life-changing journey for me. I will never again take for granted the simple things like clean drinking water. The people of Malawi are some of the poorest people on earth, but yet they are so grateful for what they do have.
"Their needs are many but the two most important needs, ones that we can certainly help with, are clean drinking water and support for the Christians there that are spreading the Good News about Jesus Christ. They are hungry for the Word. The children are starving for hope. If we gave them even a small thread of hope during our short trip, and I believe we did, then everything we went through to get there and back was all worth it."
Angela Myers, who went on the trip, emailed, "My idea of going to Malawi, Africa was to share God's love and work on a building project. I expected to see depression and sadness among those I would meet. I was already aware of what I may see, such as, lack of clean water, hunger and poverty. I definitely witnessed those conditions, but with the people, I saw peace in their eyes, strength from their hearts, and joy in their smiles.
"They, without reservation, explained it was because of Jesus and His unmistakable love for them. Little did I realize, that the hearts of strangers in a land far away, in a culture unlike mine, would teach me about the unfailing love of God. God really does love the world!"
Tinker and church leaders are hoping to raise money for the wells and the conference building, and for the church to go back to Malawi to conclude the construction and celebrate the grand opening.
The Facebook for the church's project, which shows the mission trip to Malawi, is SNC7: Malawi 2018, which has a number of photos from the area.

"They said to each other, "Didn't our hearts burn within us as he talked with us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us?" (Luke 24:32 NLT)
Two of Jesus' followers walked with Jesus on the road to Emmaeus after His resurrection and they didn't recognize him initially. After He walked with them, spoke with them and broke bread with them, they finally recognized Him as Jesus. Then He disappeared and they're left with questions..."didn't our hearts burn as He spoke?". My Bible, not any of my apps or online Bibles, but the actual Bible I read at home says, "our hearts were strangely warm". Warm? That sounds soft and nice. I like this translation and the idea of hearts burning within better...much better!
We're so prone to push back the burn, to go through an incredible experience with Jesus, then get moving, get past it, forget the white-hot emotional reaction and search for something more reasonable...more sustainable? Why? What's wrong with the Jerry Maguire moment? Remember he got sick, stayed up all night, wrote an essay and had it placed on everyone's desk in his office. Ultimately, the essay got him fired for embracing his deepest feelings about how to treat people in his industry. I love his commitment to take action in the moment of clarity, the price he pays of facing everyone in our office saying "who's with me?" on his way out the door, only to hear crickets, save Dorothy Boyd! What about you? What about me? Are we willing to let our passion for Jesus cause us to take a bold step that has effect, makes waves and results in eternal impact?
I read this verse in an Oswald Chambers' devotional yesterday, then I read a FB post from my good friend Dan Mabery, confessing a raw, emotional response to Christ:
"On the History Channel's, "The Bible," I was totally wrong in ragging it earlier. I just, this evening, finished watching the third episode. I found it to be gripping. I literally cried (which lawyers aren't supposed to do) when I first saw the newborn king. I jumped out of my office chair, punched holes in the air, and sounded a barbaric YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWPPPPP over the rooftops of my apartment complex (scaring my neighbors) when he rose out of the water after John baptized him, promising so, SO much to come. I am literally leaning forward in my chair, waiting to see what we KNOW happens next.
Oh, brothas and sistahs. It may be Friday, but Sunday's a-comin'. Can I get an "Amen" up in heah?
When Jesus was walking with his boys and he asked, "What about you? Who do you say that I am?" That wasn't just a question put to his faithful band followers, it is THE question. The indelible, inescapable question stamped on the conscience of ALL creation: "What about you? Who do YOU say that I am." Jesus looks each and every one of his beloved daughters and sons—you—straight in the eyes, pauses the world, and asks that question, the question leading to eternal life.
The world stands still. Just you and Him. What will your answer be?"
A raw, emotional response to the white-hot burn in his heart for the King of Kings! Dan's response to what he was watching and his challenge to all his FB friends is awesome - it moves me to my own series of fist pumps. Reason and rationale have their place. But maybe we've elevated stoic, hospital corners, privatized faith a little too high? The King of Kings was stripped, beaten and pierced in PUBLIC, for you and for me. What Jesus has done is beyond all reason and ration! He is looking at you and He wants to know - does the truth of who He is burn within your heart?
I agree with Chambers's point: when we have the moment , the emotional experience with Christ, let's make our commitments and hold to them. Let's let our hearts burn...moving us to do the crazy thing we never thought we would do, but the one we know Jesus wants us to do. Let's quit sticking our toes in and let's jump with both feet into the wild river of His love flowing beneath us.

Oceano man arrested in connection with assault outside bar
A man wanted in connection with an assault outside an Arroyo Grande bar in early October was arrested Thursday in Fresno and will be transferred to San Luis Obispo County to face charges.
On Oct. 2, a 38-year-old Arroyo Grande resident suffered a serious head injury after being struck from behind and hitting a concrete sidewalk curb.
An investigation into the incident led police to file an arrest warrant for 36-year-old Oceano resident Ignacio Franco Palomar, whom police said in a news release Friday is a documented criminal street gang member.
Arroyo Grande detectives tracked Palomar to a Fresno neighborhood. With help from the Fresno County Sheriff's Office, the Fresno Police Department and the U.S. Marshals Service, Palomar was taken into custody.
Arroyo Grande Police Department Sgt. Dan Langstaff said Friday that Palomar will be transferred to San Luis Obispo County Jail after he is booked in Fresno on suspicion of resisting arrest. Locally, he will be held on suspicion of assault resulting in great bodily injury.
Langstaff said that Palomar is a longtime resident of the Five Cities area.
According to Arroyo Grande police, the alleged victim, who is not being identified, remains in critical condition at an undisclosed nearby hospital.
As of Friday morning, Palomar was not listed as in custody at County Jail.

Regular readers of my blog (all 3 of you, hi mom) might recognize Nolan from his newborn session. While he was really cute as a newborn, he only got better with age (at the ripe old age of 1). For this session we explored Hayley, David, and Nolan's new neighborhood, Fishtown in Philadelphia. I love sessions where we don't have much of a plan other than walk around and find some cool spots... and we certainly did. My favorite were the colorful angel wings. Also, how infectious are little kid smiles?

Sorry, I'm a Mammal: A History of Women & Body Hair // RAZOR BURN: A Brief History of How We Got Tricked Into Shaving
By Shaina Joy Machlus
Sorry, I'm a Mammal is a new monthly series in which we explore the history of women and body hair.
Neon lights and expensive "women's" razors caged inside plastic anti-theft boxes— a sight that has catapulted me into more than one grocery store existential meltdown. (To the tune of "Once In A Lifetime" by The Talking Heads.) There are more than a few metaphors here: the cost of being a "woman" and the price to be considered beautiful by an intensely limiting mainstream, heteronormative culture; something that is said to be necessary in order to be loved, accepted, admired is held just out of reach, unless and until one coughs up the dough designated by whom? Capitalist patriarchy of course. Someone get me to the cereal aisle, stat.
And you may ask yourself, 'How did I get here?'
For me, it was in a bathtub at around 12 years old. My mom gifted me a pink, plastic razor that had a special guard on it to help keep me from cutting myself. It was the first weapon anyone ever entrusted me with; I had a razor even though I was still not old enough to use sharp knives. Oddly enough, I had been having my eyebrows and mustache waxed in the monthly gathering of the women in my family since I was around 6, but shaving was something reserved only after menstruation. As slowly and carefully as I shaved, my knobby knees were constantly decorated with tiny, stinging cuts. But oh the satisfaction of it all - I remember the sight of my newly shaven, gleaming legs: slick, smooth, and beautiful. I wore them proudly as a sign of my womanhood.
And I was not alone. According to Rebecca Herzig in her 2015 book Plucked: A History of Hair Removal, "more than 99% of American women voluntarily remove hair, and more than 85% do so regularly, even daily. The usual targets, for the moment, are legs, underarms, eyebrows, upper lips, and bikini lines. Those habits, furthermore, appear to transcend ethnic, racial and regional boundaries." One might think with this abundance, the tradition of shaving would be prehistoric, but in fact it is quite the opposite. While it is true that Middle Eastern culture has a long history with hair removal using sugar wax, shaving legs and armpits is a relatively new trend that can be easily traced back to a few well-placed ad campaigns by none other than Gillette Razors.
Do you mean to say that the 43 billion-dollar company that stands to profit from women shaving had a hand in popularizing the concept!? Surprisingly, yes. Same as it ever was.
The height of western women's fashion in 1915 is Greek- and Romanesque-inspired clothing like drapey, sleeveless dresses, a stark change from the previously conservative, high-necked frocks. Shedding a few sleeves and a few inches of hemline do not come for free in a puritan country. Newly exposed skin presented newly exposed hair that was immediately taxed. Magazines like Harper's Bazaar wasted little time in selling advertising space to hair removal companies that claimed armpit hair to be unsightly and odorous.
By 1922 the flapper movement and its short dresses were in full swing and the hair removal epidemic had spread to leg hair. While it is difficult to know exactly how much consumers affect propaganda and how much propaganda affects consumers, hair removal advertisement numbers seemed to grow overnight. An astounding 66% of ads in Harper's Bazaar mentioned the idea of leg hair removal, according to a survey done by Christine Hope in her essay "Caucasian Female Body Hair and American Culture." There were creams and powders of all scents and colors that could cure women of their follicular woes. And then there was the razor.
Gillette Razors saw an opportunity for their product to be used not just by men, but to also profit off women. What was initially an item only marketable to men was now being sold to everyone. With a few decorative details, a 14K gold handle, and silk and velvet-lined ivory carrying box, Gillette had magically transformed the man's razor into a women's hygiene product. The Gillette's Milady Décolleté (it's French, so it's fancy) was born. The Milady promised a "safe and sanitary way to the smooth underarms demanded by both good grooming and good dressing." This was no accessory, Gillette's advertisements made it clear that shaving was a necessity in order to be "sanitary" and a part of civilized society.
Gillette got an extra boost in the 1940's with the nylon shortage during the second World War. War time prices meant many women could no longer afford stockings, and had to go bare-legged in skirts, dresses, and bathing suits (yes, apparently people wore stockings with bathing suits).
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down.
During this time, Hope's research shows an increase of 56% of ads specifically about leg hair removal in Harper's Bazaar. These ad's drilled into the psyche of women that fuzzy legs were "gross," and those who sported them, unlovable.
It is also worth noting that in its origins, this trend was geared to and perpetuated by white women. It makes sense; if you want to make a quick dollar, white women are an easy target. "More blacks than whites reported not removing their leg hair, and if they did, they reported fewer reasons related to social norms," says Anneke Smelik in her paper, A close shave: The taboo on female body hair. Do you mean to say that white women's culture ruined it for everyone else?! Surprisingly, yes. Same as it ever was.
Today, women in the United States spend a collective $1 billion dollars on razors per year. Adding insult to injury, women's razor cartridges and razors cost an average of 11% more than those of men's. As much as I would love to blame capitalism for the extra cash and time in the shower spent by many women, the truth of the matter is, as a society we readily took the bait. Which leads to an important question: why do people think armpit and leg hair is so "dirty"?
"What counts as dirt is contextual; each and every society or time signifies different elements as dirty or impure. In order to understand what is considered dirty and hence dangerous in a particular society... we need to understand society's 'deepest fears and desires'," writes Smelik. Living in a fear-based culture, it is hard to point in just one direction. However, when it comes to connecting body hair to terror there is one glaringly obvious obsession in white, western culture: whatever you do, do not get old. As Smelik so keenly observes, "children are naturally hairless while body hair is a secondary sexual characteristic for mature humans. Removing body hair in general and pubic hair in particular makes the adult body look younger and more infantile. Together with the demand for fit and slim bodies, the hairless body plays into the contemporary beauty ideal of 'forever young.'"
And you may say yourself, "My God! What have I done?"
That is correct y'all. Gillette and friends tricked us into being giant, hairless babies. I would be lying if I said I am not smirking a little at this revelation. I am a very hairy woman who gave up on shaving about ten years ago first out of pure exhaustion, then I realized I found body hair, my own and that of others, tremendously sexy. This is not to condemn or glorify the act of shaving (your body, your rules!) as much as shed a little light on a history that is anything but unique. How many times have women been convinced to alter their bodies to conform to standards that make no sense? Where exactly is the line that separates our ideas and those that have been sold to us? Whose mirror are we looking into when we view our own, precious bodies? The reflection is more than a little bit fuzzy and enough to make anyone shiver at the sight of a razor in a plastic box.
Same as it ever was.

The state Department of Transportation has set Monday, August 6, as the date for the closure of jughandles on Route 1 at Washington Road and Harrison Street.
Changes to the intersections will take place at the end of July and signs alerting drivers of the traffic pattern changes will be installed in the middle of the month, according to Mark Rollo, a program manager with the state Department of Transportation. Rollo discussed area projects at a recent meeting of the Central Jersey Transportation Forum.
The pilot program calls for the temporary restriction of left turns and U-turns at Washington Road to northbound traffic. At Harrison Street, left turns and U-turns would be restricted to traffic in the northbound direction.

While working away on the first of many ideas for the Silent Witnesses project it occurred to me that we are all voyeurs these days. Checking into social media sites to see the latest meme or birthday event, following people we like (or don't like anymore), zeroing in on the salient details of excruciating terrorist events. — The blood, the body parts, the damaged child.
Don't get me wrong, I get a lot of ideas from those folks for easy meals after hard days. Simple ways to slice a watermelon. I even enjoy the occasional splash page from Spotify to tune me into new music. The blogs and postings by This is Colossal and the American Craft Council give me sustenance and joy. Being plugged in results in a synapse symphony which probably takes my brain a bit longer to sort, study and dispose of each night in sleep.
So I admit it, I am a silent witness. Now actively so.
I don't often speak up when political idiots test my patience. I don't rant about peace and war, women's rights, gun legislation or poverty (except to a few trusted friends over coffee). But I do process it. I do take it all in and parse it out and add it to my anxiety level. Those ripples of details fuel the ideas for my art, focus my energy toward understanding, fragment my feelings of hopeless angst. They distract, inform and poke at me each day in the silence of my studio.
We are all witnesses to horror today. The horror of hate and anger and terror. How do we change the flow to the positive? When will slicing a watermelon outweigh children carried on the backs of their frightened parents?

From July 2018 article in Dunedin's "The Rock" - Dr. Alex Chisholm
Recently I was asked about the present enthusiasm in some circles and the popular press for "activating" nuts. Before you conjure up visions of nuts dashing off for a spot of exercise, "activating" in this context has quite a different meaning. The idea is that nuts need to be soaked or "activated" before being eaten to get the maximum benefits from the nutrients and to reduce any symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort.
The basis for this idea is that nuts contain phytate, which can form complexes with minerals such as iron, zinc and calcium thus reducing their absorption. Cereal, grains and legumes also contain phytate and especially when they are a major staple in the diet they are often soaked to reduce the phytate and improve their nutritional value.
This is important in countries where cereals and legumes are a major source of minerals needed for growth and health. In NZ though, with our mixed diet, this is not an issue. So although nuts also contain some phytate the average consumption of nuts is low, the population intake of whole nuts being less than 3.5g/day. Even among those who are regular nut consumers it is likely that other foods will be contributing much more to the daily intake of iron, zinc and calcium. As most NZ'ers eat much less than the 30g/day recommended by the Heart Foundaton, the public health aim is to encourage increased nut intake. If people believed that nuts needed to be activated it is likely they would eat even less.
The methods of soaking and activating outlined in the popular media involve soaking for 12 hours, followed by drying for between 8 and 24 hours. These protocols also advocate the addition of salt to the soaking solution for the raw nuts. The use of really raw nuts is a concern due to possible contamination, especially of the nuts, once having been soaked, are not completely dried. As opposed to those completely raw nuts bought fresh from, for example, Uncle Joe's Walnuts and Hazelnuts that have been through temperature controlled drying after harvesting to keep them fresh and safe.
To assess the effects of soaked nuts on consumers acceptance and gastrointestinal tolerance the Nut Group at the University of Otago Nutrition Department carried out a study with 76 participants who consumed 30g/day of four different preparations of almonds for 12 days (whole unsoaked, whole soaked, sliced unsoaked and sliced soaked). The method used to soak the almonds was based on methods outlined in the popular media and involved soaking for 12 hours, followed by drying for between 8 and 24 hours. The results of the study showed the soaking does not improve gastrointestinal tolerance nor make the taste or texture of the nuts more acceptable. The majority of the participants did not experience any symptoms during the study and nuts in different forms are an acceptable food.
Contrary to claims in the lay literature soaking and subsequent drying increased the phytate concentration of whole almonds. It is possible to buy nuts which have been activated but these tend to be expensive.

Of feminism and sex-selection
As I waited, I read an unremarkable-looking board which announced that sex-selective abortions were illegal.india Updated: Apr 29, 2012 01:21 IST
As I waited, I read an unremarkable-looking board which announced that sex-selective abortions were illegal. Even before the ultrasound, the sonographer handed me a form to sign, provided by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai, which declared that the sex of my unborn child had not been revealed to me. I was then only five weeks pregnant and it would have been impossible to tell the sex of my child.
Most feminists will agree that the right of women to control our bodies by deciding whether we want to be pregnant and bear a child is non-negotiable. Many states in the US are currently attempting to out-do each other in imposing ever-more-horrific conditions on women's access to abortion.
In India, our legal right to abortion is largely dependant on the authority of doctors and we must be vigilant. However, when it comes to the law, feminists occupy diverse positions.
Some feminists argue that the technology, both for sex-determination and sex-pre-selection, already exists. A technology that is hard to regulate and many narratives of creative ways of circumventing the law abound. They argue that any attempt to walk a careful tightrope between being pro-abortion and anti-sex-selective abortion is doomed to failure and that we would do better to consolidate our gains on women's right to abortion and safeguard these.
Others point to the fact that a law regulating this technology was a feminist victory and we should do all we can to buttress this law. The first group avers that inviting the state to regulate our reproductive decisions is probably not the smartest thing to do. To which the second group responds by saying that the law maybe an imperfect weapon, but is the only one we have. They argue that a declining sex ratio will also mean further discrimination against women.
Another equally fraught debate is one that places sex-selection against the selection of 'normality'. Disability rights activists (who are often also feminists) fault feminists for condemning sex-selective-abortion while condoning abortion on grounds of "abnormalities". Some feminists point out that the care of disabled children falls disproportionately on women, and as such they must have the choice not to have disabled children. Countering them, disability rights activists aver that giving birth to multiple girl children also often means various kinds of hardship including stigma and physical abuse for women but this does not deter feminist activists from acting against sex-selective abortions. In response some feminist activists have pointed out that if discrimination were removed the raising of girl children would necessitate no more work than that of raising boys and that the problem is cultural. Challenging this, disability rights activists argue that the vision of what constitutes hardship is also cultural.
It is not my intention to argue here that the sex ratio is not a cause for concern. Sex-selective abortions demonstrate the lack of value attached to the girl-child in India. So do the much higher drop-out rates of girl-children in schools, the comparatively lower access to nutrition, health-care and all manner of resources.
I have used the term sex-selective abortion rather than female foeticide intentionally to ensure that women rather than embryos or fetuses are located at the centre of the discussion. In our quest to save the 'unborn-girl-child' we must not forget that there are (usually) adult women in very complex circumstances making very difficult decisions on whether or not have abortions. Our first concern must be for our 'already-born' women and girls. Only then can we ever hope to transform the circumstance in which girl children are conceived and born.

I had been planning to surprise my babies in Dahlonega for a little over a month, and on Tuesday, February 8th, I did it!
Brian got a promotion at work that required a week of training in Toronto. I decided that I was most definitely not going to stay home alone. So, after a gruelling overnight flight and early morning connection, I arrived in Atlanta on Sunday morning. I spent the day with my parents and Shannon, going to her tumbling lesson, and watching the Super Bowl, and Monday was shopping with Shannon.
Tuesday was the big day! Only four girls from Alpha Gam knew I was coming, so strategic planning was key! My Big, Amy, and my Grand-Little, Miranda, picked me up at home; we did some quick wedding shopping for Miranda's and headed up to Dahlonega. Missy was another of the four who knew I was coming and had deliberately planned a pot luck dinner before chapter that night so I could make a grand entrance! All of the girls had a sorority event, so Miranda and I headed to Missy's to wait for everyone while Amy went to pick up some food for dinner. The plan was for me to wait in the basement for everyone to get there, and then I'd come out and surprise everyone. Well, about 15 minutes before everyone was supposed to get there, someone tries to walk into the house. Assuming it's Amy, I'm unfazed, but we quickly realized that it was most definitely not Amy and was Mariah, my Grand-Little! I ran to the closest place I could get to….the bathroom! lol Glad to have narrowly escaped without being noticed, I just start listening in from behind the door. As more girls arrived, I decided that the bathroom door wasn't the greatest refuge and moved as stealthily as possible to the shower and closed the curtain.
I hid in the shower for a good 15-20 minutes when I heard my phone start to ring! In my rush to hide, I had left my purse on the table, and Miranda didn't know where I had gone and was calling me to find out! My Little, Caroline, found the ringing phone, located it in my purse, and recognized my dog on the background! However, after some swift convincing from Miranda and a guilt trip from Missy she quickly dismissed it. Crisis averted! Realizing where I was, Missy 'dismissed herself to the bathroom,' shoved the shower curtain aside, and gave me the biggest hug ever!
After leaving me, she corralled everyone into her bedroom, closed the door, and told them to close their eyes. Missy, Amy, and Miranda finally let me out of the shower and hid me behind the three of them. They opened the door to Missy's room, and had the girls open their eyes as they yelled surprise!!!……and all they saw was the three of them standing there. The girls were so confused, and I think kind of irritated at this point! lol Amy, Missy, and Miranda counted to three and jumped aside, and I popped up screaming!!!! My Littles, Caroline and Lauren, literally tackled me almost to the floor! It was a great feeling!!
I was so excited to see all of my babies and to meet my new ones! One of them, my newest Great-Grand-Little, Faith, was the final Alpha Gam to know I was coming, and it was fabulous meeting her too! Here are some pictures of our new, and improved Upsilon Family Tree!! (minus my Twin Kasey!! Sad day!!)

A Vintage-Inspired Glam Outfit
Old shirt || & Other Stories Skirt || Dior Heels c/o || Chanel Bag || BaubleBar Earrings c/o || Vintage Stole {from my Grandma} || Kendra Scott Bracelet c/o || Skinn Caviar Lip Cream in Scarlet c/o
A touch of glam, a bit of lace, a whisper of vintage, and a big dose of classic black can only mean one thing- the perfect Valentine's Day date outfit. Whether you'll be spending February 14th out on the town with your galentines, or you'll be hanging celebrating with your significant other, I find Valentine's Day outfits best left to the classics. Save the loud colors and bold prints for a rainy day. If you want to get fancy, opt to jazz up your look with a little lace, a slit in your skirt, an off-the-shoulder top, maybe a red lip, a flirty shoe, in other words, the only formula you need to have everyone asking you "Will you be mine?".
Also, if I'm being brutally honest, we really never celebrate Valentine's Day in a big way (my theory: if you love someone, you should love them every day, not just on Valentine's Day), but I I'm always happy to celebrate something as positive as love (be it friends, family or my husband) and I will never say no to flowers, chocolate, sweet notes or spending time with Mr. RC. How do you usually spend Valentine's Day?

Happy Wednesday! In today's reading we find Jesus', after entering into Jerusalem and cursing the fig tree demonstrating a prophetic act that elevates God's zeal for His glory.
CONNECT (Take time to write down responses to these questions or discuss in your group)
_ What is one way you have been aware of God's presence lately? Are there any times of your day that you tend to go through mindlessly?
_ What is one way you see the Lord's presence in the life of someone you are walking with (to help grow in or discover Jesus)?
_ Take some time to thank and praise God for who He is, to pray for those you are walking with, for the needs you/group are facing, and for the Spirit to highlight truth as you read.
DISCOVER [ Mark 11.1-11 ] 15 And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. 16 And he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. 17 And he was teaching them and saying to them, "Is it not written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers." 18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and were seeking a way to destroy him, for they feared him, because all the crowd was astonished at his teaching. 19 And when evening came they went out of the city.
+ WHAT is this passage saying and what do we learn? (Use these questions to help make additional observations to clarify the main point)
_ Where does Jesus enter in vs. 15?
_ What do you observe him doing in vs. 15-16?
_ Why does Jesus explain he does this in vs. 17?
_ What is the response of the chief priests and scribes in vs. 18?
_ What do you think are some of the purposes the temple served in 1st century Judaism?
_ Why does the selling and buying of sacrifices in the temple anger Jesus so much?
_ What does this passage teach us about Jesus?
_What good-news do we find in this passage for our condition?
+ HOW am I to confess sin and respond to what I learned with a step of action? (In groups discuss this in guy/girl break-outs, below are a couple of ideas to help prompt responses if needed)
_ Confess there are areas you are using something God has a design for, for your purposes?
_ Respond by stopping this behavior.
+ WHO are you walking with that you might pass along or encourage what you learned, with today? (e.g., your family around the dinner table, a friend, co-worker or neighbor you are walking with to discover the message Jesus)

The spleen serves many purposes, from aiding in digestion to producing chemicals that destroy and recycle old blood cells. It's also your personal blood bank in case of serious blood loss. If not working properly it causes many ailments such as obesity, bloating, muscle weakness, loose stool and constipation.
Immediate removal is necessary if it becomes enlarged or ruptured. There are many ways, however, to strengthen your spleens function.
Step 1
Chew your food thoroughly. It is recommended you shew each bite 30 times, unless you're eating soft foods such as ice cream or soup. Chewing thoroughly softens food, makes it easier for the body to digest and mixes it with saliva--the latter of which alkalizes it, which allows your body to absorb vital nutrients.
Step 2
Stop overeating. Think of digestion like an assembly line. Your body is processing food at a normal pace and then suddenly a huge load is dumped. This causes the digestive system to panic and use increased energy to push the load through quickly.
The extra energy expended leaves you and your digestive organs feeling tired, and digestion is not as thorough. Over time, overeating can weaken the spleen and other vital digestive organs.
Step 3
Eat healthier. For optimal spleen health, you should be eating an equal mix of meat, dairy, fruits and grains, with lots of vegetables. Choose only lean meat, and whole grains. Vegetables such as leafy greens and root veggies like sweet potatoes will nourish your spleen and keep blood sugar levels even.
Step 4
Drink warm liquids. When food or liquid is too cold, the body must heat it. This takes energy away from the digestive system, putting additional strain on it. Drinking warm liquid such as tea before ingesting cold food or drink is a valuable trick because it pre-heats the digestive system, including the spleen.
Step 5
Go natural. Western medicine has long maintained that acupuncture hand herbal medicines can help improve spleen function along with many other benefits. A 2003 study published in The Journal of Medical Acupuncture concluded that subjects of acupuncture lost three times more weight than those who didn't, largely because of increased spleen function.
There are many herbal kits that claim to detoxify and support your spleen. Do your research and make sure the company is reputable. Quality products could cost a bit more, but in the long run it will be worth it.

Grapevine Online Exclusive
A Way in the World
Listening to her Higher Power and other alcoholics led her on a wonderful 26-year journey
As a young girl, I wanted a life of adventure to escape what I saw as the boredom of growing up in Portland, Oregon. I have since been to many parts of the world, but my biggest adventure of all has been the inner journey of spiritual awareness and growth that I began when I stopped drinking and started going to meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous.
My mother organized an intervention on my father in August 1984. He eventually died of alcoholism, but I got sober. I might still be out there trying to make drinking work, if I had not been blindsided by the intervention with its ironic outcome—for years I had hated my father because of his drinking, and it was his disease that led me into sobriety. There was a crack in the universe as I knew it, and I slipped through into another way of life.-- Bette-B B.

text: I just got these beautiful detail photos by Kristen Hudson-Nichols from an early April wedding, thank you. The celebration took place at the St Regis and the laid-back couples only request was to use early spring flowers and color. Theses were the first peonies of the season which I paired with early spring flowers which are now gone until next year...Anemones and tulips already seem like distant memories, peonies are at their peak and I am already thinking about not too far in the distant dahlias!

Felicity is out of town. Maybe you already knew. Please don't rob her house. I'm continuing her blog in her absence for many reasons, one of which is that I owe her one. She recently cut my hair, and whenever I have someone do that I just let them do what they want. She cut it unexpectedly short. It was a little weird at first, especially seeing my shadow, but later it grew on me. Then I got pulled over for passing this car on Killingsworth. The car was going 20. I was able to talk my way out of the ticket, primarily due to the wonderful haircut sitting atop my head. That is why I am here today.
I am thinking of all-american hairstyles and the tickets they can talk their way out of.... I've already got Tom Hanks and General Patton. Who's next?

Friday Foolery #14: Welcome to wherever you are
Yours truly, Christmas Day 2008, Seattle
Trying to move an ice boulder that was dumped at the end of our driveway by a snowplow isn't exactly what I planned on doing to celebrate Christmas, but so it goes.
Nearly every family tradition we've carefully kept through the years (going to church, visiting the zoo, eating Chinese food on our wedding china, a Christmas roll for breakfast made from a hot roll mix not available at the grocery store we were able to access, taking a ferry & long drive to be with our family on the Olympic Peninsula, etc.) was tossed along with repeated shovelfuls of snow this week. Our inability to travel on increasing amounts of slush & ice, our city's debate over the most environmentally aware way to get rid of them, and repeatedly clearing an unusually long driveway has made this week feel more like a bad rendition of Groundhog Day than a time of peace and joy.
Our house flooded last December due to heavy rainfall on snow, so today's flood watch has us more than a little anxious this morning. Previously we were told this storm wouldn't be too heavy but it sounds like all bets are off now.
Thankfully, our six year old son always made the best of every moment through it all. He is amazing and I'm trying to learn from him.
