Join us in repeating our building affirmation:
"We give thanks that Unity on the Bay's right and
perfect future home is manifesting under the guidance of God."
Update as of January 13, 2019
Dear Friend of Unity on the Bay,
Last summer we informed you that we expected to close on the sale of our current property in late 2018 or early 2019. Time passes quickly and we are happy to tell you that we continue to anticipate a closing within the next several weeks.
Our original agreement with the buyer included a nine-month lease back that would allow us to remain in our present facility until September 2019. After several weeks of vigorous negotiation, certain terms of the deal were renegotiated to ensure we were able to keep the transaction on track in a real estate environment with increasing uncertainty. Specifically, the buyer needed to reduce the amount of time we remained on the property in order to alleviate strong concerns from their investors and start their development sooner.
In exchange for leaving six months early, we were able to secure significant concessions, including a higher purchase price and funds that will cover our rental expenses for temporary space for at least one year. The seller also released significant funds before closing that will allow us to continue our planning and secure temporary space.
In recent months it became clear that our long shot hope of moving directly into our new home was definitely not likely going to happen. The original leaseback arrangement also involved loss of our on-site parking and the take down of the Cameron House and possibly other portions of our current structure. Remaining on the property for nine months without on-site parking would also have been a significant hindrance to attendance. When early departure was brought to the table, it made sense to eliminate the need to watch the slow demise of our facility. So in essence, as divine order would have it, the end result creates a win-win for both parties.
We will now be leaving the current property by April 1. This means we will need to relocate into a temporary space while we pursue plans for our permanent new home. We have already met with our friends at Temple Israel, located just a few blocks away at 19th Street and NE 2nd Avenue. We are finalizing the terms of renting their property for Sunday and Wednesday services as well as our Youth & Family Ministry programs. They also have very generous parking conveniently located adjacent to their facility. We are also investigating options for rented office/classroom space in the immediate area.
Meanwhile, we continue working with our architectural firm in creating plans for our new facility.
We will continue to keep you posted through our website, social media, and Sunday services. Meanwhile, if you have any questions or concerns, please email email@example.com.
Friends, from the onset of this historical project we have affirmed that God is orchestrating every detail. We have total confidence that our affirmation is being confirmed in the current unfoldment of events. Although our plans have changed, God's plan remains perfectly intact.
We humbly and gratefully request your heartfelt prayers and support as we continue moving forward in faith.
In spiritual unity,
Eddie Dominguez, President, Board of Trustees
Rev. Chris Jackson, Senior Minister
Update as of August 2, 2018
Dear Friend of Unity on the Bay,
For the past four years, Unity on the Bay has been moving toward a vision for a new home that was originally birthed as a part of a strategic plan initiated in 2013.
June 4, 2015, became an auspicious day in the 90-year history of our community when the overwhelming majority of members present voted to approve a recommendation to sell our current property, utilizing funds to create a new home for our ministry as we move forward in faith toward the next chapter of our ministry's long life.
Since then we have been working to move the sale to successful conclusion, a process that has taken far longer than originally anticipated. Based on conversations with the buyer, we anticipate a closing late this year or early next and now are able to turn to the search for a future site.
The goals of this process are to acquire or develop a facility that fulfills our vision, secure the financial future of Unity on the Bay, and achieve a seamless transition to a new property with minimal interruption.
Each day we grow closer to the manifestation of the vision that originated after a lengthy process that engaged congregants, leadership and staff:
A highly-utilized community center open to all of Miami and beyond.
A peaceful meeting place for prayer and meditation that includes green space, water features, and relaxing ambiance.
A haven of spiritual liberation and celebration for gatherings of people of all faiths on Sundays, Wednesdays and other times -- meeting the need for flexibility in today's busy world.
An oasis of inspiration suitable for retreats.
A premier spiritual venue of enlightenment offering special events, lectures, classes and workshops.
A place for children's education.
A home to the performing arts.
A center for the healing arts; Reiki, yoga and others.
A comfortable retail environment in which to find connection with others, spiritual books and gifts.
A coffee and food service venue for community and fellowship.
A meeting facility that supports worldwide media with state of the art technology.
We are currently researching prospective locations, including some ideas and options brought to us by congregants. Our objective is to identify the right and perfect location. As part of the the next steps, we will continue to engage the congregation in planning for our future home together with our architectural firm.
We remind you that the final decision for our new home is subject to a vote open to all members. As has been our practice in the past, we will undertake congregational communication forums prior to a membership meeting, and advance notice will be provided to all those who wish to be present at the membership meeting in which the vote will be taken.
We encourage you to keep this historical time in our community's life embraced in your prayers, knowing that the very spirit of God is orchestrating our inevitable success. Thank you for your love and support of Unity on the Bay.
In spiritual unity,
Eddie Dominguez,
President, Board of Trustees
Rev. Chris Jackson,
Senior Minister
Update as of June 1, 2018
Dear Friend of Unity on the Bay,
It's been awhile since we updated you on the status of our property sale. You may know that the membership of our spiritual community recently approved a slightly reduced sale price. This was the result of a survey that revealed the property was a bit smaller than what was in the public record, reducing the number of units that can be built on the property. The membership approved the adjustment with the vast majority voting to support the offer during the membership meeting. We remain deeply grateful for yet another confirmation of the mutual love, trust and respect that our community stands for.
The buyer has notified us that they anticipate a closing by the end of this year. The Board of Trustees is moving rapidly to identify a new site and will soon present a plan to the congregation. The Board is also moving forward in forming committees and teams to support us in the creation of our future home. After the current property is sold, we will remain at the current site for up to nine months. It is the goal of the Board of Trustees to move directly from our current property to a new facility without a temporary, transitional location in between. It is an ambitious goal, but one we believe is possible.
While the proceeds from the sale of our property will be significant, we want to emphasize that no funds will be received until the closing is complete. It is important to understand that these funds will not to be used for the day-to-day operations of Unity on the Bay, but are earmarked for the purchase and development of a new property, transitional expenses, and the creation of an endowment to secure the future of Unity on the Bay.
We mention this because some congregants have informed us that they have reduced or discontinued their financial contributions because they incorrectly believed that we had already received millions of dollars from the sale of the property. In fact, we have incurred significant additional expenses in legal fees. And we will begin to incur architectural and other fees related to the purchase and planning for the new site.
This is happening while tithes and offerings are down this year and last. In 2017, we experienced a $180,000 reduction in tithes and offerings, resulting in an operating deficit. We have made staff reductions and increased facilities and parking rentals to help compensate and we would much prefer to avoid any additional cuts.
Thank you for holding your spiritual community in prayer during this historic time and for continuing to move forward with us in faith. As you feel guided, please consider the personal value of our community in your life and consider increasing your support to sustain our ministry during this time of transition.
If you have any questions, please direct them to firstname.lastname@example.com
In spiritual unity,
Eddie Dominguez, President
Board of Trustees
Rev. Chris Jackson, Senior Minister

When it comes to cannabis and sex, scientific research seems to be at odds with anecdotal experience. An equal number of cannabis consumers argue that cannabis has a negative impact on their sexual experiences and decreases sex drive. So, what's going on here? Is cannabis an aphrodisiac or a libido depressant?
Website – http://www.beansoncracker.com
To get to the bottom of this conundrum, we decided to do a little research. Here are five fun facts we found out about the world's favorite plant and favorite activity!

Dear friends,
Last week, we read how on the night of the tenth plague (the death of the firstborns) Pharaoh and all the Egyptians demanded that the Children of Israel leave Egypt. In this week's portion of Beshalah, we read that Pharaoh and his people had second thoughts and regretted sending the Israelites to freedom. The need to have slaves makes them forget all the punishments they had received in the form of the Ten Plagues. They are willing to risk everything and gather an army to chase the Israelites and bring them back to Egypt.
What was the reaction of the Israelites when they saw the approaching Egyptian army? The Torah describes how "they were greatly frightened". They turned against Moses and accused him of bringing them to this wilderness where they might all be killed. They reminded Moses that, while still in Egypt, they asked him to leave them alone - that they preferred serving the Egyptians than dying in the wilderness. After all the miracles they had witnessed in Egypt, they still lacked faith in G-d and the confidence that G-d will save them from Pharaoh and former masters.
Moses comforts them by saying:
"Have no fear! Stand by, and witness the deliverance which the L-rd will work for you today; for the Egyptians whom you see today, you will never see again. The L-rd will battle for you; you hold your peace!" (Exodus 14:13-14)
From Moses' words we can understand that the Israelites were divided as to the best course of action in facing their enemies again:
The Exodus from Egypt was not easy. While the Israelites were now physically out of Egypt, the slaves' mentality will be with them for many years to come. Hassidic teachers speak of the personal enslavement we all experience in this world and the need to overcome different challenges to be free and to feel free.
This Shabbat is very special. It is known as 'Shabbat Shirah', the Shabbat of the song, as we join in chanting the song Moses and the Israelites sang by the sea when the waters parted and they gained total freedom.
It is also Tu Bishvat, the 15th of Shevat - Jewish Arbor Day - the day we celebrate and thank G-d for the beautiful world He has created for us.
The Torah compares humans to trees. A righteous person is like a palm tree or a cedar of Lebanon. A person is free when he/she can feel tall and strong and share his/her blessings with others.
The Torah also is our Tree of Life. When we perform Mitzvot and practice kindness with others we live and practice the real Tree of Life.
May your life be filled with Shirah - with song and music - and may your life reflect the Etz Hayim - the Tree of Life.
Shabbat Shalom,

The patients, who regularly attend art classes in Solas, were delighted to get the opportunity to have a long chat with Steven about his work and their mutual love of art. Steven even managed to enthuse some artistic spark back into one of the patients who had lost his motivation to paint. After talking to Steven and looking at his artwork, he went to visit the Steven Brown Art store and purchased some supplies. It was wonderful to see the enjoyment our patients got from this visit. Steven Brown Art kindly sponsored our Art Exhibition and Sale once again this year which took place on 2nd March. Share this articleTweet

@AdrianStevens just wrote a blog post about Adding Sound to a Xamarin.Forms App!

Maybe it would be nice and useful if there was also the possibility of calling methods asynchronously :-)
@AdrianStevens Do you know of a way to "warm up" the player?
I tried storing a reference to the current player in the constructor like so:
player = Plugin.SimpleAudioPlayer.CrossSimpleAudioPlayer.Current;
...then playing some .mp3 file when tapping on a button, but there is still a noticeable delay the first time the sound is played.
var audio = ((CustomControl)sender).CommandParameter;

Went out to Winters a few weekends ago to attend a barn-centered evening of food, music and general revelry. Ran into some fellow barnstormers along the way and stopped off the highway for leg-stretching and hellos.
Jesse brought along the Red Ryder and we got a little target practice going. Turns out Jeffrey's a crack shot.
I think Jeff's point-blank technique was my favorite. Walk up, point the barrel down and blow that bottle away.
And onwards to the farm.
Chicken coops, roaming hounds, acres of walnut trees and two goats roasting over an open fire pit. Such an awesome place to come upon.
Set up our tents then laid around on the lawn watching the light get amazing.
Then as darkness set in the feasting began. Roasted goat tacos, sweet shredded pork tamales, spanish rice and all manner of greens, not to mention salsas and salad goods. Probably one of the best meals I've eaten in a while and all of it prepared at the farm, most of it cooked out over a fire.
Into the barn with our bounty to eat in warm pleasantness and await the music.
Little Wings ruled. I don't think I ever caught this guy's name but he had me in stitches the entire time. I love it when people have a sense of humor.
The Sarees also rocked it and with a sitar at that.
Karl Blau started mellow then rolled into the dance tunes. Hay bales were pushed to the side and the dust stared flying.
Something so wonderful about dancing in a barn.
Jeff, Kelley and Kacey brought the ambient lighting.
Barn dancing might be my new favorite hobby, right next to eating and drinking under the stars. Man that was fun.
To whom do we owe this good time? I was lucky enough to hear about the barn show from Jeffrey "Man O'Light" Manson, but word must've been circulating far and wide as Jesse and Evelyn found out about it at the same time and once there I was struck with the pleasant sensation of running into various people I like but hardly ever see. The farm itself is home to the Center for Land-Based learning which works to introduce high schoolers to agriculture and nature-based education out in the fields and the whole affair was brain-childed by one Mr. Ribbons (whom I've still never properly met) and put together through a multitude of donations, food, time and otherwise. From what I've heard most everything he puts together is this incredible and we'll be keeping an ear open for whatever's coming up next. Til then..

After the early morning mist and no wind the sun broke through about 10am , the mist cleared and the wind picked up. Members of the club with their guests started to turn up and by the count at 3pm we managed to fill the blue skys with 274 kites with 61 flyers. More flyers than last year but less kites due to the light winds. Thanks to everybody who turned up, including Team Spectrum to make this annual club event a great success.

We were lucky to have a nice sunny day, but unfortunately we didn't have the wind that we had last year.
Thanks to everyone for working so hard to get kites up into the air with the little or no wind that we had at 3.00pm.

Sunday 9th October 2005
It was a lovely sunny day and very mild for the time of year.We were joined again this year by our guests the Thorpe Kite Club and, for the first time by members from the fighter kite competition, arranged by Lynne and Graham Jackson.When we had arrived at 10.00am there was very little wind but as the day went on, it picked up and at times we had a reasonable but light south westerly wind. Unfortunately John Arnott was correct in his prediction that just before 3.00pm the wind would drop just as we were all trying to do the count. However, there was just enough wind to keep most of the kites in the sky and with valiant running around by all the club members we managed 296 kites. Although we didn't managed to beat last years total, it was still an excellent attempt considering that we had a third less flyers and we were only 13 kites short!
Records aside it was a fun day and it was great to think that we were doing our bit for the One Sky One World message of World Peace.
Result: 296 Kites. 91 Flyers. Other results
Sunday 10th October 2004
In a cold and blustery wind (25 to 30 mph) the Suffolk Kite Flyers with our guests Thorpe Kite Flyers managed the following totals for OSOW on the at Rougham Airfield in Suffolk: 142 flyers 307 kites Although the number of flyers was up on last year, the total number of kites was less. This we believe was due to the very high winds and that many single line kites were unable to withstand the strong wind. However it was still a good count and thanks to everyone that attended. A special mention and a well done to Matt Mitchell who couldn't attend the event due to family commitments, but flew 2 kites near his home at 3 pm. Great fun was had by all.
Result: 307 Kites. 142 Flyers. Other results
Sunday October 12th 2003
One Sky One World - Rougham Airfield on October 12th 2003 322 kites flown by 107 flyers.

Sunday October 13th 2002
One Sky One World - Rougham Airfield - October 13th 2002 253 kites flown by 63 flyers. Well done to everyone who attended!
Result: 253 Kites. 63 Flyers. Other results
Sunday October 14th 2001
One Sky One World - Barnham Common at Thetford.
This was a joint venture with Suffolk Kite Flyers and Thorpe Kite Flyers. Our thanks to Nigel of Thorpe Kite Flyers for re-arranging the venue at short notice.
We had a good turn out considering there was at first a distinct lack of wind. However by lunch time the wind had pick up a bit by the count time at 3 o'clock.
Result: 83 kites. 53 flyers. Other results

SunGate Insurance Agency Blog
Have you ever wondered why auto insurance costs are never the same? They differ from each person, and even differ from each type you get a quote.There are many factors that can affect the rate of your insurance premium. For most of them, you can do something about it. Your insurance provider will assess your full driver's profile.
What is your driver's profile?
When assessing your rate, insurance companies will look at your age, gender, credit score, location and driving background. Based on all these information, it will determine how big of a risk you are. The lower your risk, the lower your insurance premium will be.
How do you affect your insurance rate?
The younger driver you are, the less experience you have. Insurance companies put value in how much experience you have. You are most likely to have an accident when you are aged below 25 than any other age. If you have a history of traffic violations and accidents, this will surely increase your rate as well. On the other hand, you can help reduce your insurance price by attending safety classes.
How does location affect your insurance rate?
Where you live also has an effect on insurance premiums. If you live in a high crime area, this will increase the risk of loss or damage to your car. If you drive to your work and live far away from it, this can also increase your rate. Each state also has a minimum required coverage. Your insurance will need to at least match that minimum requirement.
What about my car?
The type of car you drive also has great effect. You can not expect the same rate for a luxury car compared to a regular compact car. How much is your car? Is it more expensive to fix than other cars? High performance parts will cost more. What type of car is it? There is a direct correlation of horsepower to premiums. The higher the horsepower means you tend to drive it at faster speeds. This will also increase your rate.
What can you do about it?
Being a safe driver is a good start. Keep your record clean by avoiding traffic violations. Being a responsible driver not only saves you money but can also save lives. Purchase a car that suits your needs. The extra horsepower can cost you. If you really want to save on car insurance premiums, take charge of the factors you can control.

Thanks for pointing out the influence of the driver's profile on the auto insurance rate. Previous accident record as a significant influence on such kinds of insurance, so everyone should be very careful while driving to prevent any major fatal accidents. Use of cell phone or other types of distracting objects while drive a vehicle is solely responsible for the majority of accidents. Besides, mechanical abnormalities could also be responsible for accidents. So, abnormal components should be replaced or repaired in time to keep the vehicle in working order.

DEEP CUTS: Debbie Harry - "Jump Jump"
Shortly after 1978's breakthrough Parallel Lines and 1980's Autoamerican, Debbie Harry and Chris Stein took a short break from Blondie to release Debbie's debut solo record, Koo Koo, with help from Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards from Chic, Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald Casale from Devo, and H.R. Giger fresh off Alien.
Koo Koo is an odd child in the Blondie / Debbie Harry pantheon. While it still boasts the Reggae and Rap inspired songs that popped up on previous albums, Chris Stein's wildly varied songwriting seeps through to form what would have been a logical progression from Autoamerican rather than Blondie's lackluster follow-up, The Hunter.
A few years before, Chic had given Dianna Ross a Disco rebirth with her best-selling Dianna in 1980, and, according to Dick Porter and Kris Needs' Blondie biography Parallel Lives, turned down a personal request from Aretha Franklin to give her the same treatment. Fortunately, Debbie and Chris met Nile and Bernard both in studios around New York and in Glenn O'Briens public-access underground free-for-all TV Party. (Blondie makes an appearance in the linked episode. Thanks to VICE Magazine for uploading these old videos!)
By this time, both bands were looking to break out of the constraints that success had brought upon them. In Debbie, Chic saw a fresh voice without the rules of R&B; in Chic, Debbie and Chris had finally found the ultra hip studio musicians who would be able to articulate the genre-bending Pop structures they had been working toward before Blondie ultimately went belly-up.
"Jump Jump" finds Debbie and Chris teaming up on songwriting duties. Edwards and Chic drummer Tony Thompson's groove propels the song as authentically as any other Disco record from the era while Rodgers adds his trademark compressed guitar flourishes. Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald Casale, credited as "Spud Devo" and "Pud Devo," add background vocals in the rap section while engineer Chuck Martin barks like a dog. This may be the only time I'll ever say that the inclusion of Devo is the least odd addition to any song.
I'm not saying that Koo Koo is my favorite Blondie-related work, but what it absolutely represents is the pinnacle of a vision. Both Debbie and Chris were in the middle of New York's Hip Hop scene in the late 1970s and had already assimilated that into their previously Punk / New Wave band. Teaming up with a band as close to the ground as Chic freed them from any assumptions about what a contentious band like Blondie "really" was. If they were so Punk, why were they releasing songs like "The Tide is High" or "Rapture" as singles? Bands like The Clash had already established Reggae as a viable genre for Punk digestion, but Blondie caught all the flack for it. Koo Koo flopped hard.
This could be chalked up to a few different things: H.R. Giger's cover, with Debbie's face pierced by giant needles, was banned from promotional posters in the United Kingdom where Blondie had previously found roaring success, but the album's failure could also be traced to generic label nervousness. They didn't want to lose Debbie to a solo career, so when everything seemed to be lining up against the album, Chrysalis Records threw only minor support behind it. Debbie's decision to return to her natural brunette hair color--as evidenced by Giger's album cover--also divided and drove away fans who had possibly just jumped on board with the band after Parallel Lines According to Debbie herself in the book Parallel Lives, "There were some problems with the fans… A lot of them felt like I was killing off or deserting Blondie by going brown-haired!"
Looking past all of this, though, Koo Koo remains a spectacularly odd record. Listening in 2015, the record feels both dated and forward-thinking. After Koo Koo, Blondie reconvened to record The Hunter, but the spark was gone. The band split in 1982 after Chris Stein was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease and Debbie dropped everything to be at his bedside. She wouldn't emerge again until 1986's Rockbird --which also flopped despite the United Kingdom's support for lead single "French Kissin' in the USA."
"Jump Jump" isn't the best song on Koo Koo (I'd give that nod to "Under Arrest" where Chic does a Blondie impression possibly better than the band themselves), but it represents the group spirit of early 80s New York teaming up for a vision and seeing the project to its conclusion with a mix of style, attitude, and a bunch of funky Bernard Edwards bass lines.

Local author Donna Randall is hoping to help women everywhere get through menopause with a little humour with her book Menopause or Lunacy…That is the Question.
"The book is all about my adventures through menopause, but it's something many women will be able to identify with," said Randall.
The book, which Randall said was 10 years in the making, is published by Balboa House, the self-publishing arm of Hay House Publishing.
"I was on again off again writing, mostly because at the time I was writing it, I was going through menopause," she laughed.
In all seriousness though, Randall said, the book addresses though topics such as lack of focused thinking, hot flashes and hormone loss that are common in pre-menopausal, menopausal and post-menopausal women.
"A lot of the book is humorous but it looks at some of the important issues that face menopausal women," she said.
Randall added that the book is written into sections which are perfect for short reading stints.
"It's fun because it's something you can pick up and read and enjoy in short bits. For me, one of the most difficult things I encountered with menopause was the lack of focus, attention span and memory. I tried to make this book easy to pick up and read anywhere. And the most important part is that it is humorous, I really think that's something we all need," she said.
Randall's book Menopause or Lunacy…That is the Question is available online on her website dfrent.org or at Tanner's Books in Sidney, Doyle and Brown Home and Garden in Central Saanich (6666 West Saanich Rd.), Lollygobble in Sidney, Ivy's Books in Oak Bay and Russell Books.

5 Surprising Things I've Learned in Retirement [Pt. 5]/
5 Surprising Things I've Learned in Retirement
1 - It's surprising, I only need about 1/3 of the current wardrobe in my closet. Most of those pencil skirts, silk blouses, short jackets and mid-height heels are simply not as necessary with my new lifestyle of working from home. Hello consignment shop and donations bags for the items that don't thrill me! I will need to spend some time creating my casual/active wear day-to-day style but I'm not in a huge rush. For now, I'm weeding through what I already have and no longer need. That process always feels good.
2 - Integrating my work office and my home office spaces was more difficult than I anticipated. Odd little things like which stapler, pencil cup or desk accessory to keep for my home office space gave me pause. Some of these tools had been my daily essentials, in two separate work spaces, for many years. Figuring out what to keep and what to get rid of took some time so I decided not to rush the process. I'm finally completely unpacked and organized into my home office space.
3 - It is no surprise that waking up to an unstructured schedule reduces a tremendous amount of stress. It's a bit like a perpetual week of Sundays and it's a life changer! I feel like I can now plan my days, weeks and life with more intentionality. One of my main goals has been to restructure my priorities and fitness is right at the top. One of the best changes is that I've added a consistent yoga/Pilates schedule to my week and have even started scheduling them in my calendar. When I make an intentional appointment it helps with my commitment. Though it could be tempting to loll on the couch and watch reruns of "Flipping Out" or "Below Deck", I'm finding my days are quite busy and productive.
4 - When you make a big life change, and leave a day-to-day workplace behind, you can't know how much you will stay in touch. I'm happy to report that friends/colleagues from my former workplace want to connect. I've been surprised at how many texts, calls and invitations I have received. It feels good not to be forgotten. I also find that I'm more of a "Yes" person now. My husband (the more spontaneous one) loves that I agree to more gatherings and events now that I'm not as stressed out with work.
5 - Despite the euphoria of retirement -- real life intrudes -- no surprise. Whether it's a medical issue, as with our sweet kitty, Jack, or the ongoing concern for a close family member struggling with serious addiction issues, real life is that rude awakening sometimes. It is easier to be consumed with worry, or attempt to solve problems beyond control, when you have more free time. It's important to stay focused on life balance, especially when serious issues creep to the forefront. Keeping that balance is one of the main reasons Scott and I committed to turning off the phone and celebrating our 16th wedding anniversary last weekend. It was lovely and thank you for the wonderful wishes!!
Have you been surprised by anything lately??

Peer Pressure is a Good Thing (How to Use It With Picky Eaters)/
Did you grow up hearing about how peer pressure was a negative influence on our lives and how we should resist its evil pull? I sure did. Which is why I needed to do a double take when I read a study about how peer pressure can be a useful technique for getting kids to try new foods.
There's a study that was done a number of years ago where they set up a daycare situation and had a few kids who hated carrots spend the day at this daycare. These kids had been served carrots many, many time by their parents. And these parents had done all the usual things to get their kids to eat the carrots – the 1 bite rule, no dessert if you don't eat them, etc.
The rest of the kids in the "daycare"? They all loved carrots.
Guess what they served for snack? Carrots of course. You can also likely guess what happened next. Many of the kids who hated carrots watched their new friends eat the carrots. And then they too ate them. All without any prompting from the adults.
I had forgotten all about this study until recently when a friend was telling me about how, this week, her son had eaten salmon for the first time. She's followed my techniques with feeding her 3 year old son. As a result he's a pretty good eater, enjoying a decent variety of foods.
They had served him salmon many, many times. But he had never tried it. Until one day when they were over for dinner at his friend Chloe's house. Salmon was on the menu that night – one of Chloe's favourite foods.
You see, this little guy has a really special relationship with Chloe. He thinks that the sun rises and sets over her. Well, he took one look at Chloe eating her salmon and he tucked right into his salmon as if he'd been eating it his whole life.
His Mom nearly dropped her fork she was so surprised! But she remembered my tip of not making a big deal of it when your little one tries a new food. So she did an imaginary happy dance and then nonchalantly continued with the dinner conversation.
Six months later he still eats salmon. Peer pressure is a good thing.
Do some of your child's friends enjoy foods that you'd like your child to eat? Arrange play dates or invite the family over for lunch or dinner. Serve the target foods. I can't guarantee 100% success. But it's another technique to create an environment that supports your child to choose to try new foods on their own.
Has this technique worked for you? I'd love you to share your story in the comments below!

Historic Photography
Alternative Photography
But surely film photography is dead?!?!? No... its alive and well, albeit a little harder to find and use. I love film and alternative photography and readily use them in many of my professional jobs. Infra Red photography, for example, is particularly useful in the heritage industry and can highlight things not seen with the naked eye. However, there are many other ways of using alternative-to-digital formats that can be useful in the museum and heritage worlds.
Wet plate photography for Museums and historic buildings
Your photographic collection probably contains some wet plate photographs. It was the most common form of photography between 1851-1880 and is still one of the most beautiful and exciting forms of photography today. I can provide portraiture of your staff or volunteers, as well as produce unique (uncopyable, original, and distinct) photographs of your museum or buildings using this historic process. The results are amazing and would be a prized addition to your collection, archive or use high resolution digital scans for your website or marketing.
Photographic History education
I am a professional photographic historian. I can produce, supply and deliver educational programmes based around the history of photography, the processes involved and give demonstrations showing some of the more interesting aspects of historic photography. These can be tailored to any age range and are a fun and educational opportunity to engage with collection objects, learn a new skill or be amazed by the magic of non-digital photography. Get in touch with your requirements and we can discuss how best I can help achieve your educational goals.
Photographic research
As a photographic historian I am also able to help research your photographic collection. I have extensive research and archival experience, including at the British Museum, the Peabody Museum, Harvard, The Pitt Rivers Museum, The Brooklyn Museum, and many others. I am able to advise on collections care, historic information about process and technology, and future curatorial aspects of your photographs in order to produce outstanding and important exhibitions. If you have a photographic collection and are not sure what you have, how best to use it, or even what its possibilities are, get in touch! Click the button below to find out how I can help.

On the 4th floor of Canada Place, Plateau Bar & Grill is a stunning glass-fronted location looking out over Canary Wharf. A casual menu is packed with gourmet treats, and the outdoor terrace is perfect for the summer.
Inspired by mid-century Manhattan, the interior of Plateau Bar & Grill Canary Wharf is dominated by the stunning floor-to-ceiling windows. Flooded with natural light, the restaurant boasts a semi-open kitchen, showcasing the talented chefs at work.
The Plateau Bar & Grill menu has a gastro pub feel, with classic French influences. From simple classics like beer battered fish and chips, or the 240g rib eye steak, there are lighter dishes such as pan-fried pollock with escabeche of carrots and shallot rings. Vegetarian dishes are also served, like wild mushroom linguine. The sommelier is on-hand to suggest one of the many French and New World wines.
Stunning views and a relaxed atmosphere make Plateau Bar & Grill London a truly versatile destination. Canary Wharf Tube Station is a 1-minute walk away.

Overall, we had a great experience.
Would we go back, of course.

Good value for the lunch deal £20 for 3 courses with wine

The lamb shank was very tender and the natural juices of the meat was retained and complimented well with the mashed potato. Had the dish been presented with a couple of coloured vegetables it would have visually more appealing to the senses. We were also served wine as it was part of the package but I was a bit taken aback when the wait staff told me that the wine they served was red or white. What I actually asked was what kind of wine we would be served and I was expecting a brief introduction of the the complimentary wine, be it a merlot, california red, shiraz, sauvignon blanc etc., not just red or white.

Steve Szutenbach didn't expect to be running for public office this fall. In fact, a month ago, the U.S. Air Force veteran was busy assisting state Sen. Tim Neville with his re-election campaign in Senate District 16, which covers Littleton, Conifer and Evergreen.
But then state Rep. Tim Leonard, the Republican incumbent in House District 25, announced he was dropping his bid for re-election following fallout from a recent court ruling related to the terms of his divorce. Within days, Szutenbach threw his name into the ring of possible replacements for Leonard on the November ballot, and by Aug. 7, he was the chosen finalist.
Szutenbach will face Democrat Lisa Cutter this fall in the race, which covers Evergreen, Conifer, Coal Creek and parts of Golden and South Jeffco.
A resident of Evergreen since 1997, Szutenbach's foray into politics as a first-time candidate has been a long time coming.
"I realized that until I moved here to Colorado, I had never voted in my home of record," said Szutenbach. "I joined the Air Force at 17, and my first time being eligible to vote was in the 1976 election. With my home of record being Florida, but never being assigned there, I did absentee ballots until 1997 when I moved here."
Needless to say, Szutenbach not only started voting in his new home of record in 1997, but he also got involved in any way possible — first as a Republican caucus attendee, next as a vacancy committee member in Senate District 22 before redistricting in 2011, and finally as a legislative aide for Neville, R-Littleton.
Up until four weeks ago, Szutenbach had spent five sessions as one of Neville's aides and helped manage his campaign.
Now, the retired airman and self-proclaimed constitutional conservative says he wants to contribute to the community in a more active way.
"I always call myself an operations guy. My job (as a legislative aide) was to make sure Sen. Neville could do his job," said Szutenbach. "For me, (deciding to run for office) was one of those decisions that was focused on doing something to contribute more as opposed to just standing by. I felt compelled to do it."
For Szutenbach, contributing more means making transportation and infrastructure key priorities in the state budget, encouraging regulatory reform and finding a way to reconcile the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA), the state's public employee pension fund, which is currently underfunded by billions.
"PERA has an obligation to the retirees who are in the system, but they also have an obligation to treat the taxpayers fairly. There needs to be some way that we can figure out how to make that work — meet the obligations, but also not bankrupt the state," he said.
Szutenbach said he'd also like to see more government transparency and is a fan of the state's legislative audit committee.
While he puts a premium on issues, Szutenbach said his other big priority, if elected, is to respond to constituents calls — something he feels too many state legislators fail to do.
Florida-born father of two
A native Floridian and 14-year veteran of the U.S. Air Force, Szutenbach is the father of two adult children and has been married for 39 years to fellow U.S. Air Force veteran Mary Pat Szutenbach, a professor of nursing at Regis University in Denver.
Szutenbach holds a bachelors degree in electrical and electronics engineering from the University of Texas at San Antonio and is working on patenting new products through his small business.
An avid hiker, Szutenbach has hiked about 1,000 miles of the Appalachian Trail — from Georgia to North Carolina.

Kim's story.
Have you ever had someone tell a story that you just couldn't quite visualize? Or, that you could picture, but you knew that it really needed to be recreated in three dimensions to fully appreciate?
Imagine Thanksgiving dinner ruined by a little girl who stuffed her Barbie doll into the Tom turkey, along with the onions and apples and rosemary, mid-way through the roasting process.
For me, the biggest conundrum of this was not sawing Barbie in half so she would fit neatly inside the bird's cavity, but the question of whether or not she should be wearing heels or slutty boots with her fishnet stockings.

You may have noticed last week when your newsfeed became saturated with the staggering proclamation that Iceland is "virtually eliminating Down Syndrome," thanks to prenatal testing.
As Faithit previously reported, nearly 100 percent of unborn babies with Down Syndrome in Iceland are aborted. Though it is not required, expectant mothers are encouraged to undergo prenatal testing that identifies any possible genetic abnormalities.
Like many of us, Becky Carey's social feeds were plastered with the announcement of Iceland's Down Syndrome abortion rate and goal of eliminating an entire people group. It was her daughter Tessa's sixth birthday, and the news hit home.
"Six years ago today I sat in my hospital bed, isolating myself from reality while I digested the news of my daughter's surprise birth diagnosis of Down syndrome. Like many unsuspecting parents, our world was rocked. When we were offered prenatal testing while I was pregnant, we declined knowing we would not change anything about our pregnancy, and that our arms and hearts would lovingly welcome our child."
In a blog post called "Where in the World Is Down Syndrome Going?" Becky says that knowing how much they already loved their child didn't make receiving the diagnosis less difficult.
Dear Tessa
"We had no idea what to expect. We were left with our own drawn up versions of what we thought Down syndrome was based on, what we could remember as kids—which was basically nothing."
Thankfully, Becky and her husband had a kind and compassionate doctor that walked them through some of the basics of having a baby with Down Syndrome. Her unbiased and professional information was all they had in those moments. She reassured them that Tessa would live a full and wonderful life, and that everything may not be how they planned, but it certainly was going to be alright.
"I can only imagine what these parents in Iceland are told their lives will be like with a child like mine, and how untrue what they're told really is. Conflicting, outdated and biased opinions about Down syndrome as a whole. But you know what? It is happening right here, too. The horrific diagnosis stories I have been told by mothers here in America continue to blow my mind."
Though Iceland's Down Syndrome abortion rate is staggering at 100 percent, many countries are not far behind in their efforts to "eradicate" Down Syndrome.
Just to clarify, they're not actually putting an end to the 47th chromosome. They're just eliminating—killing—anyone who is believed to have it. Actress Patricia Heaton dropped some serious truth on the matter on Twitter last week:
Holland is expected to be "Down Syndrome free" by 2030. Denmark and Great Britain have taken on similar statistics with Down Syndrome abortion rates ranging anywhere from 90-98 percent.
America, too, ranks among these nations. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, the U.S. average for Down Syndrome termination rates falls somewhere between 67 and 90 percent.
"I wonder if doctors and parents saw another side of Down syndrome—the human side—would the percentage decrease?"
Becky's concern goes beyond just the decision to terminate based solely on the diagnosis—which has not always proven to be accurate.
"Let's not forget about the individuals with Down syndrome who are alive. What does this message of 'eliminating Down syndrome' say to them? That they don't matter either? It sure sounds that way."
Dear Tessa
"As parents, we spend a lot of time fighting and advocating for our children. Much to our dismay, we often seek to prove our children are capable of so much more than the limitations society places on them. We push for inclusion in school and the workplace, we fight for health care coverage and we encourage people to see their value. Now we fight for their right to walk on this earth."
Dear Tessa
"You do not need a heart of gold to raise a child with Down syndrome. But you do need an open mind, the courage to embrace something unfamiliar and the belief that each life has value."
A mother of three, Becky admits that parenting her daughter with Down Syndrome is not easy. But then again, what about parenting is?
"Is raising her easy? Not always. Raising my spirited 4-year-old without Down syndrome isn't easy. Helping to parent a stepchild also isn't easy. There are few things about parenting that come with ease. Period."
Becky says the hardest part about having a child with Down Syndrome isn't the diagnosis or disorder itself, but rather the "annoyance" of constantly having to justify Tessa's right to be here.
While Iceland and surrounding countries are "on pace" to "eliminate" Down Syndrome, Becky says it's time we focus our efforts on sharing our world, and our hearts—which are absolutely big enough for everyone. That includes those with Down Syndrome.

Madman Films
Now Showing
Lynn Shelton's previous film, Humpday, was a funny and smart take on the bromance genre: a look at male machismo, the inherent homoeroticism and the lengths men will go to to save face. In Your Sister's Sister, Shelton focusses her gaze on the female of the species, more specifically, the relationship between sisters Hannah (Rosemarie DeWitt) and Iris (Emily Blunt), and the man who comes between them.
That would be Jack (Mark Duplass), who is still mourning the death of his brother, Tom, 12 months ago. Iris, Tom's former girlfriend, thinks his getting away from it all – precipitated by an outburst at a memorial for Tom by the dead brother's friends – will be the best thing for Jack. And he agrees, taking up her invitation to spend a week at her family's island cottage off the coast of Washington State.
Jack isn't expecting company during his retreat, but is happy for it when he discovers Hannah (in her underwear) also occupying the cottage. The pair have never met but know of each other through Iris, and any wariness is soon dissipated as the pair indulge in a lot of whiskey and some midnight confessionals: he's grieving; she's just ended a seven-year relationship with a woman.
It also leads to some awkward bedroom antics, made even more awkward when Iris arrives unannounced early the next day. Iris is ecstatic to see her big sister, and happy that the two most important people in her life have finally met; Jack, however, is not-so happy for Iris to find out what happened last night, given that he is secretly in love with her.
This places Hannah uncomfortably in the middle, a position made even more uncomfortable when her own secret is revealed.
Rosemarie DeWitt has seemingly made a career out of playing the sister – from the titular bride in Rachel Getting Married, opposite Anne Hathaway, to the arguably sane sibling of Toni Collette's Tara in TV's The United States Of – and by making an impression in supporting roles; second-in-command but never second best.
And in Your Sister's Sister, DeWitt is again the sister but finally lands a lead role: equal billing (and footing) with her co-stars, Blunt and Duplass. Her Hannah is the most complex of the three characters, and DeWitt makes her nuanced, by turns prickly and empathetic.
Blunt, always a welcome presence, is good, too, as is Mark Duplass who has, by some strange turn of events become the most unlikely romantic lead of cinema 2012. With Sister, and the soon-to-be-released Safety Not Guaranteed, the affably charming but by no means "Hollywood handsome" actor (who also directs his own films with his brother, Jay), gives a wonderfully comic turn.
Depending on your take, Your Sister's Sister is either a drama with laughs or vice versa. Shelton isn't heavy handed with either – there's no hand wringing when things come to a head, and the closest thing to a comic set piece involves vegan pancakes – but what she and her actors achieve (no doubt partly as a result of their improvising) is an authenticity in the relationships.
Not only do we like Hannah, Iris and Jack (in spite of their obvious faults), but we care about them and what happens to them. And even if their ultimate fate is left up in the air thanks to a cliffhanger ending of sorts, one gets the feeling that the kids will be alright.

Nice review D.R. I was really taken by surprise with this flick because not only did I love the leads, like I expected, but the natural feel to everything really had me at every piece of dialogue. It was one of the rare situations where I wanted these characters to keep on talking about God knows what, and I think this is Duplass' best performance yet.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the read and comment, Dan. Always good to find a film where you genuinely like and care about the characters. Duplass is having a good year. Have you seen Safety Not Guaranteed? Loved it! Not out here until October so review to come then.ReplyDelete

Treforus is an unfinished and abandoned village in Cwm Ystradllyn. It was begin in the 1850s to accomodate the workforce of the Gorseddau Quarry – a pathetic excuse for slate but nonetheless investors stumped up a massive amount of cash which was promtly squandered on projects like the satellite mill at Ynys y Pandy and Treforus.
I didn't get long up here, less than half an hour, but managed to squeeze off a few interesting shots in that time. Here are a couple from the LX5. Film shots to follow.

'Mad Men' Sent Pete Campbell to California, Gave Him a Tan, & Made Him Happy (Yeah, Really)
Life isn't exactly easy when you're Pete Campbell in Mad Men Season 6. Pete lost both his parents, was caught frequenting a brothel, lost Trudy, screwed up the Chevy relationship fro SC&P (thanks to Bob Benson's vengeful intervention), and memorably fell down the stairs that one time. It's not a great time to be Pete. But at the very end of Season 6, our Mr. Campbell finds a window where all the doors have been shut: the opportunity to move out to SC&P's California outpost. As Trudy tells him before he decides to leave, Pete is "free." He's got no ties to a wife or a girlfriend, no friends, and no professional cred on the East Coast. Hell, without California, his life is looking rather grim. So did he buy the ticket and take the ride in Mad Men Season 7? Well, his tan certainly spins a certain narrative.
In the Season 7 premiere of Mad Men, we find Pete living in California, where he's rocking a rather flattering shade of tan and waltzing around with a light sweater around his shoulders. When he meets Don for a Brooklyn-themed sandwich at an L.A. diner, he seems more upbeat than he's been throughout his entire time on the series. He's even in search of a new bachelor pad with the help of his beautiful, blonde real estate agent. Could Pete finally be on the right track? Was all it took a little California air? Is it wrong that we kind of hope he's finally okay?
Still, no matter what happens to Pete or how our sympathy for him waxes and wanes, we'll be hard-pressed not to keep enjoying this little beaut:
