Asexual on Air
Even terms such as 'LGBT' can sometimes forget to include certain groups of people
Today, when we live in much more tolerant and inclusive times than those in the past, it is really important to remember that even a term such as 'LGBT' can sometimes forget to include certain groups of people, necessitating the term 'LGBT+'. One such group that is often completely forgotten about in the discussion of sexuality is in fact the situation when a person does not experience sexual attraction. Asexuality.
While it is of course common for a character in a show to not display any signs of sexuality, just think of most children's shows, what is incredibly rare is a character openly identifying as asexual or aromantic. One could argue that a character like Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory could be read as identifying as asexual, however, this portrayal is far from helpful or sensitive to the community. It's more written as a result of his lack of social skills or empathy rather than an intrinsic part of his identity.
The only character in mainstream media that I'm aware of to identify as asexual is Todd Chavez from Bojack Horseman, a Netflix original. In the finale of Season 3, after a whole season's worth of Todd and his high-school girlfriend, Emily skimming around the 'Will they, won't they?' trope, their relationship culminates in a conversation in a diner, in which Emily asks about his sexuality and he replies "I'm not gay, I mean, I don't think I am, but I don't think I'm straight, either. I don't know what I am, I think I might be nothing.", not only would this be a big step forward for the asexual community but Emily's response is great too. She simply says "That's okay." She doesn't assume it's something she can fix, it's not something that requires follow-up questions. It's just who he is, and a program showing how to respond when someone tells you who they are is nearly as important as making these visible in the first place.
How Todd's identity goes on to shape his character, and his interactions with others remains yet to be seen, but I trust that Raphael Bob-Waksberg and the other writers of Bojack Horseman will treat it with dignity.

I was up in Waterton today, and it was incredible!! (see the above picture for conditions) All the ice is gone off the compound gullies. I can't imagine there is even an icecicle left on the Cameron Highway. People are reporting that the parking lot at Cameron lake is completely bare. So what should you do this weekend?
While a rock route up the hump is sure tempting, perhaps this would be a perfect time to take a drive up the Chief Mountain Highway. I don't know of another year where one was able to drive all the way up to the border at this time of year. As you can see in the picture below (taken Jan 28th 2005), the road is bare. I was tempted to pull out the kayak and go for a shallow trip down the upper belly. With the sun low on the horizon, views up into Michewabum are great. Perhaps a hike up into Belly River is in order.
Well, perhpas we will have to see about that. I may end up heading up the ridge just north of yarrow, or wandering down to Augusta. I guess we will see!

SO, does Clayton (me) like Claymation videos. Well, in elementary school they would say, "Are you made of clay and weigh a ton?" I would respond, "Yes." Then I would play some more while making fun or their names, all in good fun of course. Here's lookin' at you Jeremy Pitts, aka Jeremy "Stinky" Pitts (they did), Lee Crumb (always wore Lee jeans and had cookies in his pockets) and Jamie White (She wasn't:) Good times. So, do I like Claymation videos? Yes. DO I like when people call me Gay Clay. No. But no worries, I will think of something for you too.

Work: I have never felt the Chinese-ism of the workplace more. They speaking in Chinese and justify it by saying their English isn't good. What kind of company hires people that can't speak English well and can primarily speak only Chinese? If the tables were turned and I could only speak Tamil properly, I wouldn't stand a chance. The concept of privilege or subtle racism, can't think of a better example. And it's not like we are based in China. This is Singapore where the first language is English. And my Tamil isn't fantastic but I can speak it pretty decently. My Tamil is much better than the English of the bloody woman today who took like 20 mins to tell me that 5 items identified for a re-labelling job were missing. And no, I am not that bad with names, all of you are small, Chinese with straight black hair, I just can't tell you cheenas apart. Argh.
Social life: Update – I don't need one. I did the math, with Netflix I think I am sorted till I am about 45 (at least) for a social life. I am loving the series Derek. Discusses real issues and contains dry/sarcastic humour (and makes me feel like crying too sometimes). My cousin and my mom have said they feel that 2016 is the year I get into a relationship, well they were right. Me and Netflix will live happily ever after. Well as long as there is an internet connection at least.
Weekend: I got to do a few things this weekend. 1 go for a walk/jog. 2 bake. That's the plan for now. Let's hope it all goes according to plan.
Babies: Spent time with the new nephew today, he was born on the 4th this month. I think I like babies from 0-1 years old. They are cute. Of course this might be my ovaries speaking. Tick Tock.

Effects of Training in Planfulness on the Performance of Eighth Graders.
O'Loughlin, Michael; And Others
Recent research in metacognition suggests that efficient studying reflects the ability to employ deliberately planful or self-regulative study strategies. An instructional program based on this approach was developed to teach eighth graders how to study text. The sample of 50 eighth graders was divided into experimental (N=24) and control (N=26) groups. The training group received a series of 18 lessons over 9 weeks covering control of environment, allocation of time, stating appropriate goals, monitoring progress toward these goals, and extracting main ideas from text. Data analyses showed that the training significantly improved both knowledge about study skills (content) and reading performance as measured on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills. Results demonstrated an experimental effect on a standard reading measure, a comparative rarity in study skills research. Future research should emphasize a simpler study strategy and observational, as well as quantitative, outcome measures. (Author/JAC)

West Ham held Arsenal to a goalless draw at home last night. In the second London Derby at the London Stadium in the span of a few days, West Ham were resilient as they looked to build on their shock win over Chelsea last weekend.
After scoring the winner against Chelsea, Marko Arnautovic almost emulated his feat again when he headed the ball in the 15th minute only to be ruled offside.
The Austrian seems to be enjoying playing under new manager David Moyes as was evident by his charisma and tenacity against the Gunners.
In one instance that caught fans' eyes, the former Stoke City man pounced on a ball on the right wing and went on a Ronaldo-esque run while completely destroying Arsenal duo Monreal and Maitland-Niles in the process.
The 28-year-old hasn't really taken off for the Hammers since his arrival, but his performances in the last couple of games could be an indication of a change in fortunes.
Check out the run from Arnautovic below –

Spring training has ended and the MLB season has begun! The smell of freshly cut grass and ball park hot dogs hangs in the air. Along with the pro season, every baseball lover thinks, "Is my kid old enough to start tee ball little league this year?" We are here to help you find the right toddler T ball set for your little slugger. And because there is no official name, we will use tee ball, T ball, and t-ball interchangeably.
Tee ball introduces America's pastime to our youngest boys and girls. For many, this sport starts a lifetime of athletic and recreational competition. With the best t ball set, the kids have a lot more fun because they can hit well once it comes time to step up to the plate.
Best Batting Tee for 3 Year Olds – Little Tikes TotSports T-Ball Set
Perhaps your junior all-star can walk and hold a bat, so you feel ready to tee up and start practicing. You can't find much earlier t ball classes and equipment than 2 years old. We looked at national youth t ball practice programs like YMCA, i9 and Sportsball. i9 allows 3 to 4 year olds to sign up for T ball, but Sportsball has a Parent & Child program for as young as 2 years old. YMCA requires 4 years old and up for t ball sign ups.
For their first practicing, skip the tee ball set. Any shape of plastic bat and any ball will do fine. If you spend time playing baseball and having fun with them, they will develop a love for the game regardless of equipment. We've seen parents line the ball up on traffic cones, pool noodles, or hang it from a string.
The focus of the first tee ball set needs to be durability and flexibility. It should grow with the kid and take whatever abuse comes its way. In this respect, the Little Tikes TotSports T-ball Set is a popular choice, and suits the bill. This set can be found at most sports retail stores such as Walmart, Target or Amazon. For a cheap price, this set will get you swinging and is sure to be a hit at birthday or Christmas time. This tee ball set for toddlers has soft balls and a short hollow bat to minimize collateral damage as your toddler learns the nuances of trajectories and leverage. This t ball set is fine for a first swing, but as your child grows in ability and strike zone, you may want to consider a more advanced batting tee for beginners.
- Adjustable height "T" adapts to a child's developing skills
- Special "hang-on-the-wall" design for easy small-space storage
- Helps improve batting skills, motor skills and coordination
- Lightweight and safe
- Toy
Best Pitching T Ball Set for 4 Year Olds- Fisher Price Triple Hit
Once they are 4 years old and enjoying hitting the T ball, we can start to look at proper swing mechanics and equipment. In order to get a good swing down, they've got to begin using a normal shaped plastic tee ball bat.
We reviewed sets with longer bats but soft balls so that we don't break any windows. In this department, the Fisher-Price Triple Hit Baseball shone above the rest. This set has a 21" bat, foam balls, and a plastic tee. The batting tee takes batteries and converts into a pitching practice that tosses the balls in the air. We love this t ball set for toddlers because once they master connecting off the tee, they can hit out of the air. The bat will be swinging away, so we recommend all tee ball practice be done outdoors if possible.
- Three ways to play: Beginners hit from the tee Rookies use pop-up pitch, with balls popping up automatically one after another "Pros" get three balls automatically pitched to them from up to 10 feet away
- Makes learning to hit the ball fun and easy
- Includes battery-powered trainer, bat & three balls
- Balls automatically pop-up from the base, one after another, which is perfect for rookies
- This baseball set is a triple threat for helping kids learn how to swing like a pro
Best T Ball Set for 5 Year Old – Easton Tee and Tanner Tee
Kids can learn to swing love baseball with the plastic batting tees above. However, there comes an age where playing at home is only practice for the youth recreational t ball league. For a parent or tee ball coach at this level, they need an actual, solid rubber t ball set for baseball game day. We're talking a heavy duty base plate and a rubber tip that will last season after season.
For entry level game day batting tees, no name is more trusted than Easton. The Easton Deluxe Batting Tee adjusts from 27 to 36 inches. Kids as young as 5 years old can enjoy the adjustable height. It has a solid base and is assembled with a metal bolt through the bottom. The rubber construction ensures a durability that can take a beating swing after swing and still look good on the field.
- Ball height adjusts from 27" to 36"
- Heavy-duty base
- Easy Assembly
While Easton makes a great standard tee ball tee, the Tanner Tee sets the standard for top of class. This professional tee costs quite a bit more, but makes up for it with quality. From youth league to varsity and beyond, the Tanner Tee delivers the best performance with six inches of rolled rubber FlexTop. It allows the baseball or softball to sit higher and launch freely off of the tee. The standard version offers a height range of 26 to 43 inches!
Tanner claims that more travel ball, college and professional teams use this tee than any other. Perhaps most families do not need a batting tee of this quality at home, but coaches and teams benefit from the high quality and long lasting durability.
- Tanner Tee is the original Pro style batting Tee, with the original rolled rubber top
- Utilized by more travel ball, college and professional players than any other batting Tee
- Our patented, hand-rolled flexible rubber ball rest allows hitters to feel the ball not the Tee at contact
- Backed by a one year product guarantee and 25 years experience building custom batting tees for heavy Use hitters
- As shown, Tanner Tee the Original adjustable 26-43 inches
T Ball Set and Bat Sets for Sale at Amazon, Target and Walmart
We hope this review helps you find the tee ball batting tee that's right for your kids. As you can see, there is a large range of quality and function. We passed over batting tees with strings attached or multiple tee positions, because they seemed gimmicky. If you have little tikes, a simple plastic tee can help them learn to swing and love the game. If they enrolled in little league, a plain game day tee could be cooler and more appropriate. As they begin this potential passion, a few more items of tee ball equipment can help complete the set. Once you find the right tee, look into tee ball sets. You need bases, bats, bags, tee ball helmets to get your kid ready to go. The Easton Junior Z5 Batters Helmet is a perfect tee ball batting helmet for a good price. The foam and hard shell absorb impacts from machine pitch, and the ears are well covered without being too stuffy.
If you want to have some fun with accessories, Target sells some really cool neon batting gloves for tee ball players at Target. We also look closely at the appropriate footwear in our kids cleat selection guide.
Don't forget to take care of yourself as well, with the right stadium seats and chairs. Let us know in the comments which tee worked the best for you!

Mind-full to Mindful. In this segment, we speak to people who have used mindfulness to become more aware of their surroundings and have successfully brought their stress levels down with it.
Today, we are speaking with Mayurakshi Ghosh from Unisys.
1. Tell us something fun and unique about yourself.
I like this version of me, although I am turning 31 next month, I don't feel any change, and that's fun to me. I get to enjoy the same things I enjoyed ten years ago. I like cooking for myself, I love cleaning and I love listening to good music when I walk. I am patient and I love sitting idle at times.
- What made you take up the mindfulness course on zoojoo.be?
My sudden weight gain. I added 15 kgs post marriage and that literally slowed down my life, my pace, my patience and my emotional balance. I wanted to be mindful and at ease.
- Have you ever practiced Mindfulness before, or this was your first time?
I had never actually since I was always active and was on my toes, life came to me like a new day, a new opportunity every day. This was definitely my first time.
- If this was the first time, have you felt any difference in your general stress levels?
I had a mental block, a state where I was at loss of words regularly. That was killing me from the inside. The constant tension, emotional breakdowns due to my weight gain literally pushed me to a point when I decided to do something for myself. That is why I am practicing mindfulness even today.
- If you have practiced Mindfulness before, how has Mindfulness with zoojoo.be been different?
Although I haven't practiced it before, Zoojoobe definitely got me hooked. It knows that everyone is different yet everyone is similar.
- What would be your suggestion to someone who is dealing with a lot of stress every day?
Give yourself some time, show yourself some love. Nothing in this world is permanent. Neither are sorrows, stress, tension, and grief. Breathe, breathe, breathe and breathe. That's your only medicine.

In recent years there has been a drive in joint agricultural developments and agri-business investments between Africa, Ethiopia and Libya in particular, and Ireland; and knowledge transfer is key to this.
Speaking recently, the Minister for Agriculture Simon Coveney stressed Ireland's agri-food sector has a key role to play in assisting Ethiopia and other African countries to reach their full potential in developing sustainable agriculture production.
During the Third Africa Ireland Economic Forum, held in Dublin last October, the minister met with his counterpart from Ethiopia, Tefera Derbew, to discuss current developments in the agri-food sectors in Ireland and Ethiopia.
At this meeting a joint Statement of Intent was signed, which encourages enhanced co-operation between Ireland and Ethiopia in the areas of agriculture, in particular continued co-operation in the areas of agricultural research and training.
Later that month Teagasc signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research, which provides for further close collaboration between the two bodies.
Speaking at the National Potato Conference last week, Teagasc's director Prof Gerry Boyle spoke on a key project, the Sustainable Seed Potato Production Project in Ethiopia.
"We are very proud to be involved in Teagasc along with a host of others partners," he said. "We are working to export knowledge in the production of potatoes to developing countries and the project in Ethiopia is fascinating. When you see what knowledge can do, it's a really important spectrum."
In addition in 2012 in Irish Africa Agri-food Development Fund (AADF) was launched. According to the AADF, the fund aims to develop partnerships between the Irish Agri-Food Sector and African countries to support sustainable growth of the local food industry, build markets for local produce and support mutual trade between Ireland and Africa.

Substance Abuse and Mental Anguish Blamed for Mass Murder and Arson
Can a love of drugs and drink drive an individual to commit a multiple murder and then arson to conceal the crime? The family members of convicted felon Conner Schierman believe it is a viable defense to save the man's life.
The PNW Local News reported on the opening day of the penalty phase for Schierman. Described by his younger sister as always upbeat and happy-go-lucky, Schierman faces the potential of death by lethal injection.
Fighting for his client, Defense Attorney James Conroy claims Schierman had a troubled past of mental illness, childhood abuse at the hands of his father and drug and alcohol use. Kinsey noted she had noticed a change in her brother's behavior around the time of their parents divorce. She reported he began smoking cigarettes, drinking and arguing more.
"I was younger and I didn't have the ability to ask him, you know, 'what exactly are you so mad about?' or 'what's so difficult for you right now?' and I didn't think to ask that either because I felt I was just happy that Dave (her father) was gone," Kinsey said.
She also told the court that her brother never wanted to be a bad influence on her and sought treatment for alcohol and drug abuse at a rehabilitation center. He then moved to a halfway house in Kirkland before the murders.
Dean Dubinsky, Schierman's stepfather, was the first to take the stand last week as a defense witness, sharing with the jury that his stepson once tried to commit suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills, but instead threw them up all over the place.
While Schierman's family pleads for his life, the family of the victims do not have that option. No matter what his frame of mind or amount of substance in his bloodstream the day of the murders, the crime was still committed. Schierman now awaits his fate.

Doll Carriers Coming Soon!
I'll soon be posting a free, downloadable pattern and tutorial for the above doll carrier (pictured above on Lucy who had so much fun running around in it yesterday). AND (this is a first for me!) I'll be opening my own Etsy store soon to sell doll carriers for those too lazy to make their own. Kidding, of course. I friggin' hope you're all too lazy to make your own.
Both (pattern and purchasable carriers) will be available with lots of time before the holidays.
7 comments:
I just found your site and am SO excited! Are you still planning on posting the pattern for these carriers "with lots of time before the holidays"?ReplyDelete
Sorry about the delay! I came up against some obstacles (technical stuff) and then things got crazy with school, work and getting Christmas gifts all ready to ship. Ack! I'll get on itReplyDelete
Easter is a holiday . . . :)ReplyDelete
Haha, good point!ReplyDelete
Was this pattern ever released? I LOVE this doll carrier and would love to make one for my son! We use an SSC a lot and this is the only pattern I've found so far!ReplyDelete
I"d really love this doll pattern and tutorial too.... any chance you could share?ReplyDelete
Do you still have a copy of this pattern? The link says it doesn't exist anymore! I would love to make this for my baby girl. It's the best one that I've seen!ReplyDelete

Ringworm is a fungal skin infection. (It is not due to a worm as its name implies!) There are many types of fungal germs (fungi) and some can infect the skin, nails, and hair. Fungal infections are also known as "tinea" or "dermatophyte infections" or "dermatophytosis".
How it spreads The fungi are tiny spores tough enough to survive for months on your skin, in soil or on household objects, such as combs or towels. They thrive in heat and moisture, which helps them to grow and explains why they are often spread in swimming pool changing rooms and communal showers. The spores can be spread in four different ways: -Human-to-human contact -Human-to-animal contact – for example, by stroking an infected dog or cat -Human-to-object contact – both animals and humans can leave traces of fungi spores on objects and surfaces, such as towels, clothing, bed linen, combs or brushes -Human-to-soil contact – less commonly, it can develop after lengthy exposure to infected soil As an adult, you can become a carrier of a scalp infection without developing any symptoms. This is because your body has usually developed a defence against the infection by the time you reach adulthood.
If you're a carrier of a fungal infection, you can unknowingly pass the condition on to children, who may then go on to develop symptoms.

The Oscars or the Academy Awards are a phantasmagoric celebration of all the cinematic things of the past year. Music, actors, supporting actors, sets, costume design and of course movies (give me a break I'm just trying to bring up my word count). Your office is chalked full of different personalities, temperaments, situations, and for the sake of this article, can seem a lot like a movie. Come with me as we delve into the glamorous awards for office personalities and politics.
Good evening ladies and gentlemen I would like to welcome you to the first annual Office Oscars, I will be you host, Interrupting Office Alpha. I was self-appointed as host because I never allow anyone else to speak anyway. Honestly though who needs to speak with performances like these! Our first award category will be:
Best Costumes that Make Everyone else Around them feel Frumpy and Inadequate.
Nancy in accounting, always dressed to the T, with hair teased to perfection, Nancy would make a Drag-Queen feel underdone.
Laurence in Marketing has made it an art of combining excessively large scarfs with business casual. With an extensive collection of designer eyewear, he would give Lenny Kravitz and Kayne West's love child a run for its money.
Timothy in Accounts reminds us every day that the gym is just a 20 min jog from work. His excessively large biceps and quads make the structural integrity of his suits the eighth wonder of the world.
The envelope, please.
The award goes to Nancy in accounting! Thank you, Nancy for making us feel like creeps because of your exceptionally, borderline inappropriately tight clothes and your 6 days a week workout regimen. You have inspired us all to eat the last, three day old donut in the kitchenette.
There goes Nancy! I hate to see you leave, but I love to see you go! What? That's sexual harassment? And sexist? I'm the host!!!
I apologize for the small commercial break ladies and gentlemen, but I had to speak with HR. Our next award will be for:
Best Dramatic Office Performance
And our nominees are:
Linda, for her reenactment of Chicken Little. Every day. Linda has been consistently losing it over the smallest, stress-less items, in such high energy fashion that she would make Joe Pesci seem like a subtle and nuanced actor. A consistently daily performer she is never perturbed by the menial nature of the issue, she will cuss, spit and swear even if the issue is the resending of an email. Thank you for the many memorable moments Linda.
Tom, for his portrayal of a Bull in a China Shop. If you hear banging, angry shuffling of paper or swearing of the most vulgar fashion, you don't have to look further than Tom's desk. His performances come at a high cost though, three keyboards, two broken pinkies, and a stress inflicted nervous tick that is impressive considering he's not even method acting. He completely embodies his role of a man on the brink of insanity and on the threshold of doing something extremely anti-social. Thank you, Tom for making us all duck under our desks anytime we hear a loud noise. Tom everyone! Well, that gesture was uncalled for Tom, did he call me a clock ducking bore?
Greg, for his depiction of The Loudest Man In the World. When Greg was growing up, he had never heard of the term inside voice. His boisterous laughing, telephone conversations and arguments bring a lively character to the cubicle farm, especially any time you are trying to concentrate. His loud voice has given many a small heart attack and has startled a bit of pee out every single person in this room. Thank you for the many pairs of ruined underwear Greg! I'm right next to you Greg you can lower your voice.
The envelope, please.
The award for best performance goes too…
Tom!!! For his Bull in a China Shop role! Come up here Tom and receive your award. Yes, I guess you can use the award like a club…
Ladies and gentleman, our live broadcasting of the Office Oscars has been cancelled due to the severe bodily injury of the host Office Alpha. If you have any other nominees please add them to the comment box below for consideration by the Academy.

Acts 16:16-40; Judges 4-5; Job 35
It's interesting what people will put up with from followers of Christ, until we affect their financial status. Paul and his companions were preaching in Philippi. While there, a slave girl, who had an evil spirit that allowed her to predict the future and earned a lot of money for her masters, began following Paul and noting that they were telling people the way to be saved. Perhaps there was a mocking tone to what she said. Perhaps she was so loud that people couldn't hear Paul and his companions share. For whatever reason, Paul became fed up and cast the spirit out of her. That's when the trouble started! "When the owners of the slave girl realized that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to face the authorities." (Acts 16:19) Yep, the owners of this girl could put up with a lot, but now this gospel message had taken away their livelihood. They must have had some kind of influence in the city because the magistrates ordered Paul and Silas to be stripped and beaten and then thrown into jail. For most of us, that would have resulted in demands and angry calls to our attorney. For Paul and Silas it meant hymns and praise to God. God used their imprisonment to bring the jailer and his family to a relationship with Jesus. It's amazing to me that we as Christians talk about our belief that God is in control and yet, when we face troubles or difficulties because of our faith, we immediately start lashing out. We're angry, we want to sue, or perhaps we just want vengeance. What if, instead, we sang hymns and songs of joy in the face of difficulties or even persecution? What if we recognized that even when we go through those times, God is still in control and had a plan for us and those attacking us? Paul didn't give up on his rights in the end of the story, but used his rights as a Roman citizen to further the kingdom of God. How can we praise God in difficult times and then, when the time is right, use our rights to show the glory of God?
Lord God, I'm quick to complain – but You know that. Help me be quick to have faith; to trust You in the face of troubles and praise You. Let me show others Your power as I praise You in the face of abuse and even persecution for my beliefs.

I was so happy to be able to sneak a few days to go and hang out with my family in Jersey last week. It's my family home and I don't go back nearly enough. The house is always full of people and there is constant noise and energy. My parents had me up at 7am every morning for a long walk around the cliffs. Here are a couple of pictures from one evening at St Ouen's. I'm not so big on landscape photography as I prefer to just enjoy the grandeur of a sunset with my naked eye but I got quite excited at how the light changed every second during this sunset and towards the end the light picked up beautifully on the sand.
An exciting new adventure in Kenya
I am very lucky to have a number of people in my life who act as mentors and guides. When you work alone as a business sometimes you need a little push and encouragement, someone to tell you are doing the right thing - or the wrong thing. Someone to bounce ideas off and offer inspiration and guidance. One of these people is Samir. We met when he came to Electric House to give a small talk to a number of small business owners in the creative sector on Creative Business Mentoring. They ranged from PR to dress makers. It was a small and intimate gathering and gave us all the opportunity to ask a few questions. At the end of the session he kindly offered further help should we want to follow up.
Samir has a fascinating career history, with a masters in mathematics, was CEO of an airline company at 29, worked for the Ministry of Defence, guest lectures at Oxford and King's LSE, founded several successful companies including Debut Contemporary, worked with Bosnian refugees and other charities such as Repossession.
Never one to miss an opportunity to engage with someone inspiring of course I followed up and at our first meeting one of the most provocative things he said was that I needed a manifesto for life (he pointed me in the direction of Vivienne Westwood). I needed a purpose and to give something back. I went away with this very much on my mind. Maybe a week later Keith, the brother of one of my very dear friends from Kenya, contacted me to say that he had set up an volunteer organisation called Gap Creative to provide art, drama, music and photography programmes for a number of orphanages near his home town of Nakuru in Kenya (coincidentally the same small town that my father was brought up in!) and asked if I would be prepared to get involved in setting up the photography arm of this.
'No' is not generally a much used word in my vocabulary, particularly when it comes to travel, adventure or photography - and particularly those three in combination. So, my flight to Nairobi is booked for a week Monday. I am booked in for my jabs. I have had pledges of over £300 from kind friends and family to purchase some cameras, printer and inks and will be setting off to spend a week with Keith in Nakuru meeting with the orphanages, talking to the kids, devising a workable programme for the volunteers who start coming out in January and making a short documentary about the work that will be happening out there.
I'm meeting Samir next week and can't wait to tell him all about it. But as he sagely said; when we open our eyes and mind to opportunity it comes knocking.
Saville Row at Lords
On behalf of sponsors Chivas (and Campbell Bell Communications) I attended the first fashion event to ever be held at Lords Cricket Ground last month. Nineteen Savile Row tailing houses showcased their style across one hundred outfits showcased in a live fashion show across the Lord's Long Room and Pavillion. Models, friends and actors including Dougray Scott and journalist AA Gill were modelling the outfits.
My client Chivas were holding court in the Writing Room where they were serving Chivas 12, 18 and 25 on the rocks plus cocktails on the roof terrace.
The Service of Others
The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.Mahatma Gandhi
There is so much more to people than the tip of the iceberg that they choose to show us and it's all too easy to judge on that basis. When you take the time to get to know someone you realise what great weight they may be carrying or what depths that have kept hidden. And what awe-inspiring beauty lies beneath.
I spent last weekend staffing a women's personal development retreat in Surrey run by an international organisation called Women Within at Juniper Hall in Surrey. I only recently came to this organisation back in February when I attended the weekend for the first time as a participant. What I experienced there was nothing short of life changing - for me and the women around me. I found an acceptance and openness in a community that shares so much love, laughter, tears, communication and support based on ancient traditions of sisterhood. As I left that first weekend I knew I wanted to keep this connection and so volunteered for this recent weekend to enable other women to have the same experience. I am grateful to Christian for making the introduction to me through his own experiences with a similar organisation for men, The Mankind Project. And grateful to the incredible women who have come into my life to make it so much more joyful.
The next weekend is November 1st - 3rd.
Perrier-Jouët at Collect - The International Art Fair for Contemporary Objects at Saatchi Gallery
Last week at 2pm the phone rings with one of the agencies I work for, Campbell Bell Communications. I'm in my pjs sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of tea and pottering through a wedding edit and thinking about what I was going to cook for my friend Andy that evening. 'Can you be at the Saatchi Gallery at 4pm to photograph an event. Such is life as a freelance photographer. I grabbed my bag and headed over to cover the opening evening of The International Art Fair for Contemporary Objects. On display was work by Hitomi Hosono, the inaugural Perrier-Jouët Arts Salon Prize 2013 Winner. You can see the events I shot for both the launch of the prize at The Ritz and the selection of the winner at the St Pancras Hotel. The salon judges included artist Kate MccGwire, designer Stephen Jones and executive director of the Crafts Council Rosy Greenlees who said 'We were faced with a challenging decision and exceptional talent within the shortlist of nominees, yet recognised Hitomi Hosono as an outstanding artist whose unique artworks truly evoke a contempoporary and beautiful interpretation of Art Nouveau'.
Pacifica Spa Shoot
Yesterday I spent the morning at the newly refurbished Pacifica Spa taking a few images for their website. It's so new that the signage is not up yet so I look forward to returning.
Photographing People
When I look at why I love photography I can clearly see the subjects that I am drawn to; people. Whether that is people captured unawares expressing joy in a crowded party, a corporate portrait to help a person find a way of clearly representing who they are in a business capacity in a way that builds trust with their clients; a young family capturing the early moments of their life together or a woman bravely embracing her natural and honest beauty in a boudoir shoot - either for herself or for her partner. For me there is nothing more satisfying than have a client look at a picture that I have taken and knowing that they have shown a little part of themselves to me for maybe just a fleeting moment and recognising themselves in that.
I have had the privilege of working with so many fascinating people. For my final college assignment years ago I chose to photograph people I knew in the arts, in their home or working environment. Here are some of the pictures I took. Some are more obvious in their vocation, others more subtle. I hope you enjoy them.
Thinking about having a photobooth at your wedding or party?
The photobooth has been around for a while and seems to be gathering pace as opposed to being a dying trend. There are so many different types you can have from black taxis and passport photo booth style which print out pictures instantly through to more elaborate set ups with backdrops, furniture set and props. You can make your own by providing a box of dress up, a polaroid camera, book and pen and theme the booth through your choice or props or backdrops. You can either rummage in your local charity shops for props or companies such as Etsy
Alternatively your photographer (i.e. me) may offer this as an optional addition to your package.
Here are a few reasons why I think photobooths work so well at weddings:
1. They usually take place later in the evening when your guests are a little more, ahem, relaxed and in the full swing of the evening. This means they will be ready to perform and it would be a shame not to catch your friends at their most entertaining and creative.
2. Put a silly hat, wig or prop into someone's hand and suddenly the camera seems far less scary and your guests are more likely to pose for a photo rather than ducking into a camera-shy manoeuvre.
3. The pictures provide a great momento for your guests of the evening. I upload all of the images onto a private online gallery that your guests can view and order prints from.
4. It's a source of interactive entertainment for participants and viewers alike throughout the evening.
5. You can use chalk boards to have your guests write messages to the happy couple.
I really enjoy running a photobooth - it is a great opportunity to interact with the guests who I have been photographing all day and capture another side of them; relaxed, fun and often very silly!
Below are some examples of recent booths I've run including in a yurt at Lucy and Simon's wedding at Inshriach House (the team there went all out to help me decorate the yurt with some awesome props) and those with the green curtain are from a wedding party at Shoreditch House. I set up in a corner using what was available in the venue.
I always bring extra lighting and use my professional camera so that the images are as high quality as the rest of the images from the wedding. The images can be edited for a more vintage style and are always supplied in colour and in black and white.
If you are booking me for your wedding then I will set up a photobooth for £250 for 1.5 hours after the first dance. For stand alone photobooths for parties and other events I can provide a quote depending on length of time required and location.
Salon London - Ma Cherie Amour at Adam Street, London
Another fantastic, stimulating and challenging night at Salon London at Adam Street as we tested our vocal cords with voice coach and trainer on The Voice; Juliet Russell, challenged our fuddy duddy image of sherry with wine writer/expert/broadcaster Jane Parkinson and tested our ratings as a psychopath with Professor Kevin Dutton. There was at least one borderline in the audience. Apparently we can learn a lot from them - and they are probably running your company if they are charming and influential. Never dull evening at Salon.
Perrier Jouët Arts Salon Dinner - selecting the winner
Back in January I blogged about the inaugural Perrier-Jouët Arts Salon Dinner which was meeting for the first time to launch a prestigious arts prize. They came together again at the end of March to discuss the shortlist and make their selection of the winner. I can't tell you who won as it hasn't been officially announced yet but the committee enjoyed a delicious food and champagne supper at the Royal Suite at the newly refurbished St Pancras Hotel in London. It's not something I do much of but my clients Campbell Bell asked me if I could film a bit of the event for a small showreel - here are my efforts. I quite enjoyed it and look forward to incorporate film into my events offering in the future.
Some nudity...
Not last Christmas but the one before that, I was given a very special birthday present by a dear friend. The gift was most unusual but so perfect - a half day shoot with the very talented Holly, or Ivory Flame. I only recently managed to organise a shoot with her and supported by my team including stylist Caroline Williams, make-up artist Tori Harris and with me assisted by Luis Urena, we shot in a location which I have been dying to use for ages - the home of my friends, artists Molly Micklethwait and Rufus White in East London. We were ridiculously lucky with the weather and although freezing the sun burst through the windows creating the most beautiful light for many of the shots. Holly was incredibly professional despite the cold and was a dream to shoot. At one point I put down my camera and professed that I couldn't breath I was so excited. I think that is the point at which you realise that you are the luckiest girl in the world to have discovered a job that you love so very much.
(if you are interested in using this location let me know and I'll put you in touch with Molly and Rufus)
Easter Yoga Retreat in Ibiza
With two days to spare I managed to grab last minute seats on Ryanair to get me to Ibiza in time for the first retreat held by Formentera Yoga and Jax May Lysycia at their new country house over Easter. Having followed Jax for her yoga instruction from London to Morocco to Formentera I was keen to try out their newest venue up in the North West Hills of Ibiza; a finca set in 20 acres of fruit trees and scattered with sheep and goats, not overlooked by a single neighbour and only a 45 minute walk to the beach. The perfect escape to unwind and recharge. What attracted me to this trip was the combination of early morning silent walks; deep, sensitising yoga; meditation and the opportunity to explore another side of the island on two challenging 10km hikes around the coastal paths, led by the very entertaining and knowledgeable Toby of Walking Ibiza who introduced us to the flora and fauna of the white isle (white for it's salt...) The food of course is very important on such trips - you can't demand so much of your body without putting something back in, but the team included Guici the Italian chef who delivered mouthwatering Ottolenghi-style vegetarian food each day.
We were blessed with the most beautiful weather for the entire trip. Clear blue skies and warm breezes as we stretched out on the deck overlooking the sea as the sun rose and cooler air as we climbed through the pine forests in the afternoons. Not quite warm enough to enjoy the sea (with some exceptions!) but we sat in a circle on the beach at the end of one day for an evening meditation to the sounds of the waves.
I met some amazing people on this trip, strengthened friendships with others and connected with an energised and more whole self. I can't do trips like this every month (sadly) but I can take with me the tools to look after myself in day to day life.
and the wonderful team... Suni, Jax and Richi.. who looked after us so well.
The Great Ormond Street Hospital Carol Service
I recently started working with a leading agency called Red Photographic and the first job I was assigned to was the 13th Great Ormond Street Hospital Carol Service in Knightsbridge, sponsored by Trailfinders. Over 700 guests attended the concert in the beautiful St Pauls Church. The concert featured performances from The Gallery Choir of Westminster Cathedral Choir and Tansy Bennett, plus readings from Downton Abbey creator Lord Julian Fellowes, Jonathan Pryce OBE, Penelope Wilton and John Standing. Afterwards the guests headed across the road to The Berkeley Hotel to enjoy champagne and canapes and bid in the silent auction. It really got me all Christmassy being part of the night - and for a fantastic cause as well.
It was truly a spectacular night for a first job with Red and I'm looking forward to much more this year.
Wedding Planning by Katherine Courtney - and 5 minutes with me!
I recently met up with two absolutely fabulous girls with a beautiful creative vision. Katherine and Courtney are the duo behind Katherine Courtney Wedding Planning & Coordination. I'm very excited at the prospect of working with them in the future on both some styled shoots which we are planning, and of course on some weddings this year. They write a wonderful blog as well as being very active on Pinterest with their ideas. They recently did a short piece on me talking about my inspiration and way I view the wedding photography industry. You can read the piece here. I'm looking forward to writing for me soon about the importance of wedding planning.
The transcript for the interview is below:
KC: How long have you worked within the industry?
HA: I have worked in the photography industry for 5 years having retrained after 10 years of working in events and marketing. I used to book photographers for my events and it was always a career I held in high esteem – at the time I never dreamed I could actually become a photographer myself. However, a combination of luck, opportunity and a lot of hard work have turned that dream into a reality and I've never looked back.
KC: What inspires your work?
HA: My inspiration comes from a lifetime of travel and experiences and I gain a lot of ideas for poses and techniques from fashion magazines, portrait and fine art photographers and film. My first degree was in History of Art and so I have always had a love of imagery. When working with wedding clients I am often led by them as people and the way in which they love. I take my creative cues from their relationship and how they like to express it.
KC: What three "tools-of-the-trade" are a must have?
HA: My 5d Mk 3 cameras, my Shootsac (essential for carrying spare lenses, batteries and cards when on the move at a wedding) and huge amounts of energy!
KC: Any advice for our brides?
HA: Always meet with your wedding photographer. Your photographer will be close by your side for much of the day and it's really important that you have a good personality fit. If you have the opportunity do a pre-wedding shoot then this is very useful. I offer this as part of my standard package as I think it's so important to get used to being in front of the camera and to build a relationship with your photographer BEFORE the big day.
Don't be afraid to be honest about you want – at the end of the day it's your day so work with your photographer to ensure you get the type of photographs you want but do listen to their advice – they will have done hundreds of weddings and can be a great source of information about what works and what doesn't and can guide you in planning a smooth and successful day.
KC: What trends do you forecast?
HA: Wedding photography has changed dramatically over the last 10 years from being very formal and formulaic to a more natural and documentary style. I love that wedding photography has developed into the creative and personal expression it is now and that is why I was attracted to working in the industry. There will always be trends in wedding photography but I've always believed in simplicity. I don't want to use gimmicks in my photography or post production but to capture a scene in the most natural, beautiful way that will stand the test of time.
Polly + Damon's Wedding
Only days after getting back from snowboarding in Switzerland Polly and Damon came together at Islington Town Hall on Wednesday, near their home, to get married in front of a very small group of close family from near and far. I was only with them for a few hours but thoroughly enjoyed their energy and relaxed natures. Even though it was absolutely freezing Polly came outside the hotel for a few minutes to get some lovely shots of her and her sisters.
They finished off their day at Frederick's in Camden Passage.
Stevie & Stuart's Engagement Shoot at the British Museum
Sometimes the terrible British weather can bring fortuitous results - such as a previously arranged engagement shoot at Virginia Water being moved to the British Museum as a wet weather alternative. I am always very happy to try alternative locations for shoots and this was somewhere I have been wanting to shoot in for a while. The light is beautiful, the backdrop stunning and on a Thursday morning not too busy - other than a few bus loads of tourists and school children. After a while I think Stevie and Stuart even forgot they were in a public place and we just enjoyed the space and freedom of this incredible place.
A few holiday snaps from Sri Lanka
So we had our hearts set on Cuba - 3 and a half weeks through January to get us through the new year post-Christmas blues. We were to arrive on New Year's eve. But life gets in the way of the best laid plans and at the last minute we changed our adventure holiday to the more relaxed option of ten days in Sri Lanka with nothing more challenging than a gentle cycle with Idle Bikes through the paddy fields outside Galle, a deep back bending yoga class in the outdoors with Christophe at The Galle Spa, a sunset meditation at Yatagala Temple and of course lifting our arms to request another cocktail at the Frangipani Tree or the Dutch House - the two fabulous places we stayed. With both Christian and I being photographers it becomes incredibly difficult to enjoy beautiful experiences without the strong urge to capture it in all it's glory. Sometimes though it's nice to drop the camera from your face and be fully present in the moment. I did however get quite excited when I spotted some Sri Lankan bridal parties around the Fort - see my blog here.
So here is a few pictures but by no means comprehensive of the trip. A little taste of the wonders of Sri Lanka. We certainly plan to go back and more of an exploration of the interior of the island and enjoy more of the temples throughout the country.
The Perrier-Jouët Arts Salon & Prize
Last night I had the privilege of shooting the inaugural supper of the Perrier-Jouët Arts Salon in the Grand Hall and Wimborne Dining Room at The Ritz for my client Campbell-Bell Communications.
Launched in January 2013 the concept of the Perrier-Jouët Arts Salon stems from the origins of the Salon in Paris from the mid-1700s, bringing together like-minded people under the roof of an inspiring host to refine tastes, must on the Arts, inspire and increase knowledge through conversation. The Perrier-Jouët Arts Salon aims to bring to life the original spirit of the salon drawing together an eclectic and dynamic group of members to share ideas and debate on developments in the Arts, with a philanthropy goal at its hear. The Salon will support the selection of an annual prize winner who will receive a substantial sum and experiences to support him/her in the development of their career.
Candidates will be nominated by leaders in the fields of Applied Arts and Craft, and the winner's work will best evoke a contemporary interpretation of the Art Nouveau spirit of the House of Champagne Perrier-Jouët, 'transforming the mundane of everyday life into something truly beautiful'.
Perrier-Jouët Arts Salon Inaugural Members:
CHAIR FOR 2013: Rosy Greenlees, Executive Director, The Crafts Council
Peter Aspden, Arts Writer, Financial Times
Tord Boontje, Artist
Claire Brewster, Artist
Louisa Buck, Arts Writer, The Art Newspaper
Tony Chambers, Editor, Wallpaper Magazine
Claire Coles, Artist

I've only eaten at The Ritz for afternoon tea but was lucky enough to try the menu (after photographing each dish!). The menu featured the following, with each course accompanied by a different vintage Perrier-Jouët:
Dressed crab roll, spiced apple and grapes {} Spiced turbot with mushroom puree and morels {} Roast rack of veal, celeriac and truffle {} Red berry soufflé with buttermilk sorbet
Hayley's Pregnancy Shoot
It's such a personal stage in a woman's life and it was a real privilege to have the opportunity to shoot Hayley only one day before he was born. She was absolutely glowing and beautiful and we did the shoot in the comfort of her home using mainly natural light and the lovely space of the house. Congratulations to her and Wes on their new arrival. I had the pleasure of shooting a heavily pregnant bride, Amber, in the summer at a gorgeous central London wedding. For how to maintain your glamour whilst in the second trimester see the blog post here!
A bit of Ascot sunshine on a grey day
Some sunny and cheery photos for this dismal and grey January, and something to plan for the summer; a day trip to Ascot! One of my regular clients is Ascot through agency RPM Photographic, for whom I cover various events and food photography. I get to dress up and spend the day wandering through the crowds at the summer race days taking pictures of cute kids, magnificent horses, gorgeous girls and boys in their finest and... the queen! She arrived with such little drumroll into the winners enclosure that I virtually had to be pulled out of her path by my colleague.
If you have children, the kids day is brilliant. All the rides and entertainments are free once you are into the grounds and there is so much for them to do.

A New Boat for Sailability/
Utilising the funds raised from our comedy night last year and other fundraising activities along with a matching district grant, the E-Club 1070 has been able to purchase a new boat for Northampton Sailability, based at Pitsford reservoir.

Isn't it amazing how those tabletops hide from us.

Yeah, mine is down there some where too.

My theory is that table tops are designed to hold things so you are just letting it fulfill its purpose in life. (But sometimes it is nice to know what those things are...)

- suemac said...
Very pretty pastels. Yes I agree table tops are to hold things. And I go right ahead and let it do its job.
- August 10, 2013 at 9:10 AM
- JJM said...
I can just see those pastel fabrics joining the rest of your blocks. I love pastels and this quilt top is going to be another spectacular piece. And my gosh...taking time to keep up with errands and such I do that more than sew. You are the champion when it comes to sewing every day. You need a day off now and then.

I'm always amazed how quickly my work area accumulates messy piles. Sometimes we have no choice but to stop and clean up...not my favorite part of the process.

Is there supposed to be a table top underneath all my fabric? Who knew?

What are the benefits of purchasing the off-campus meal plan?
- Charged to your student account
- Pay with financial aid or scholarship funds prior to any refunds
- Not skipping meals
- Time savings – shopping, cooking, cleaning dishes, leaving campus to eat

Can I change my meal plan in the middle of the semester?
You can change your meal plan to any other plan up until the 11th class day on your own in the Housing Contracting portal. After the 11th class day, you can only upgrade your plan and must contact University Housing at email@example.com to do so.
Can you explain more about the Academic Year meal plans?
If you know that you will want to have a meal plan for the Fall and Spring semesters, you can purchase an Academic Year meal plan. There is no discount for purchasing the Academic Year plan, however you won't have to remember to purchase a plan again in Spring. The charge in UAConnect will be split between semesters, so half is due in the Fall and half in the Spring. If you withdraw from classes between Fall and Spring or do not re-register for Spring semester, your Spring plan will be cancelled at no charge. You will be able to change which meal plan you selected up until the 11th class day of each semester.
What are meal trades?
A meal trade is when you can use one of your available meals, according to the meal plan purchased, during certain hours at certain locations where you would normally have to pay for your meal with Dining Dollars. Most meal trades begin at 5 or 6 p.m. Locations and times can be found here. One meal trade may be redeemed at each meal period (breakfast and dinner).
What is a block plan?
A block plan has a set number of meals per semester instead of per week.
When do purchases of block plans for the semester end?
Meal plan purchases end four weeks before the end of the semester. If you exhaust your meal plan, you may purchase a second one prior to this date. If you run out of meals in the last four weeks, you can add money to your Razorbuck$ account. You receive a 5% discount on food when using Razorbuck$.
After I purchase my meal plan, how long does it take before I can use it?
Please allow at least three business days to process and activate your meal plan.
