The wedding industry is a multi-million dollar economic driver in Maine, according to a new economic analysis conducted by the University of Southern Maine.
Among key findings in the MarryME Report: weddings in 2017 drove about $937 million in total output and supported more than 13,600 jobs.
Laura Yeitz, a research analyst with the Center for Business and Economic Research at USM, which produced the report, says the numbers were surprising to her.
"You hear a lot about the cruise industry and the brewery industries and the amount they contribute to the economy in tourism, and this is quite surprising because the number was significantly higher both in spending and overnight tourists," Yeitz says.
[Why some hardy Mainers choose to say 'I do' during the winter]
According to the report the state attracts about 930,000 overnight wedding guests, who will spend nearly $346 million at businesses while they are in the state.
Almost 9,700 weddings were held in Maine in 2017 with direct wedding expenditures of more than $200 million.
Yeitz says the findings support further development of the state's wedding industry.

State's "Super" Race Super-Expensive: Approaching $300k
BOISE, Idaho - Campaign cash is still flowing into the race for superintendent of public instruction, with the latest filings showing a total of almost $300,000 for both candidates: incumbent Republican Tom Luna and challenger, Boise School District Superintendent, Democrat Stan Olson.
Idaho's 2007 "superintendent of the year," Jim Cobble, says he's seeing cash and politics get in the way of making sure a qualified candidate is in office. About 20 years ago, he pushed for a constitutional change so the position could be an appointed one, with the idea there could be more of a focus on resumes and experience.
"And what they truly had from a knowledge base to offer education, not just little districts, large districts, not just superintendents, but clear down to the classroom."
On the money front, Luna is ahead of Olson in fundraising by about $50,000.
Cobble's vision of a perfect state superintendent would be one who focuses on the "we" in the state public schools system -- a person who could help coach educators, students, parents and the business community to work together to improve classrooms.
"As we all know, the importance of education's in the classroom, but you still have to have some expertise in leadership, and sometimes you don't always get that in elected positions."
Cobble is life-long Republican who has served as superintendent in several districts, and is currently the superintendent of the Camas County School District.

With directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein's very funny new movie Game Night now in theaters, we've been provided with an alternate movie poster for the film to share with our readers. If you didn't know, when a studio is coming up with their marketing plan, they design a myriad of options for the movie poster and usually the versions that aren't used are never seen again. Over the years, I've seen tons of cool alternate movie posters and when I saw this one I thought it would be cool to share.
Like I've been saying on the site again and again, I thought Game Night was extremely funny and it had me laughing from beginning to end. And if you thought maybe it's just me, a few nights ago we held a special early screening of the film at ArcLight Cinemas Hollywood as part of the Collider screening series and it played like the crowd was on laughing gas. Trust me, see this in a crowded theater and you'll have a great time.
If you haven't seen the trailers (which, thankfully, don't spoil all the jokes or twists and turns), the film stars Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams as a couple whose weekly game night gets kicked up a couple thousand notches when Bateman's brother (played by Kyle Chandler) arranges a murder mystery party that quickly gets out of hand. Think of Game Night as a comedic version of David Fincher's The Game. The film also stars Billy Magnussen, Sharon Horgan, Lamorne Morris, Kylie Bunbury, Chelsea Peretti, Danny Huston, Michael C. Hall and an amazing Jesse Plemons, who plays a police officer that lives next door to Bateman and McAdams.
Check out the alternate Game Night poster below and further down are a few links to some of our recent coverage and the official synopsis. Trust me, if you want to have a good time at the movies this weekend go see Game Night.

Should I Buy a Car Roof Top Tent?
Jun. 12, 2018
Car Roof Top Tent have their origins in the African bush and Australian Outback, where they gave people a safe place to sleep and to avoid entanglements with everything from lions and tigers to poisonous snakes and spiders. However, in North America we seldom see those kinds of dangers while camping. Most American national parks have few major predators—and if you're a frequent camper, you probably know how to protect yourself from bears.
Hard shell roof tent are generally made from fiberglass with synthetic siding. These are the sleek tents you may have seen on Instagram—they fold down into a compact, (relatively) aerodynamic rectangle. All the models we researched had shredded-memory-foam mattresses inside, too.
Second, to use a Hard Top Roof Tent successfully, you must have a third-party roof-rack system installed on your car (some popular ones include models from Rhino-Rack, Thule, or Yakima).

I, lpetrich, envy fungi and bacteria. Many fungi and bacteria are capable of living off very limited selections of biological molecules, sometimes only one kind at a time, like glucose (a simple sugar molecule).
I concede that I envy these organisms. I don't like having to depend on something like 10 essential amino acids, 2 or so essential fatty acids, and several vitamins. I wish I could be like them, and be able to live off of even the junkiest of junk food.
Most of these nutritional deficiencies are essentially universal across the animal kingdom, as far as one can tell. It must be conceded that nutrition-research taxon sampling across Metazoa has been very limited and patchy. Vertebrates have had the most research, because that's what we are and what most domestic and lab animals are. The only invertebrates I could find research on is various insects and crustaceans, like the lab fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. However, they and vertebrates branched away from each other close to the ancestral bilaterian, and that's not far from the ancestral metazoan.
One can fill some of those gaps by looking at what genes are present in sequenced genomes. KEGG: Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes can show which parts of metabolic pathways are present, and one can deduce whether an organism can make something from what pathway-enzyme genes are present. I've perused it a little bit, and its coverage is certainly better. It has some cnidarians and Trichoplax adhaerens, which branched off before the ancestral bilaterian had lived. As far as I can tell, they have the same nutritional deficiencies.
So that's what happens if you eat lots of high-quality food. You lose the ability to make much of what you need.
If human genetic engineering becomes feasible, it might be possible to insert genes for EAA, EFA, and vitamin biosynthesis, along with whatever regulatory mechanisms would be appropriate. I think that a good place to express them would be the liver, since it does lots of similar tasks. We may need larger livers, but that's the main side effect.

Waxing short hair can be tricky. When hair is very short, the wax cannot adequately grip the hair. The key is using the right wax. Hard wax works best. It goes on smooth like pot wax, but hardens and doesn't require strips for removal.Hard wax will wrap each hair, even the very small ones and allow you to pull them out from below the surface.
Heat hard wax. Look for hard wax kits that can be heated in the microwave, as hard wax that must be heated on the stove takes more time and effort. Hard wax may be heated for anywhere between 4-10 minutes depending on the brand. Follow directions carefully. The wax is ready once it appears soft when poked with the disposable spatula.
Position the area to be waxed on top of a towel on the bed. Use the spatula to break up the wax. Pick up enough wax to cover anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 of the spatula and spread it liberally over the area you are waxing.
Removing hard wax. Gently pat the top of the wax to ensure it's hardened. The wax should feel smooth and not stick to your hands. Start at one end of the patch of wax and lift up as if you were lifting up one end of a bandage. Now pull the wax off in a single, swift motion.
Pick up excess hairs. If there are any stray hairs left behind after removing the wax, take the used wax on your hand and gently pat the remaining hairs. They should lift off easily. Any additional hairs should be plucked with tweezers. Waxing the area again may result in skin irritation.
Pat the waxed area gently with a cotton ball or cotton pad soaked in witch hazel. This will minimize redness and inflammation.

(The first 2 paragraphs of this article are the same as the first two paragraphs of Good Deeds #3) New Yorkers live in a unique environment. It is a sports capital, a cultural hub, and a media center. It has its difficulties, too, but to those who love it, they will live only there. Even if it's a high-priced, small studio apartment. For me, if I could afford an apartment overlooking Central Park ( see above; an older couple goes for a walk in Central Park), I'd live there, too. (See my article, "The Park," August 30, 2016)
I wrote 2 articles entitled "Good Deeds, Parts 1 + 2" on July 8thand 14th, 2017. As I mentioned then, present and former New Yorkers use the "Metropolitan Diary" portion of the New York Times as a place to share some of their important moments with the newspaper and its readers. Here are 3 more letters that have been published there.
Somebody to Lean On by Lila Bader
I was at the intersection of 88thStreet and Madison Avenue one evening in May. I had the light and was starting to cross when a cab came around the corner and hit me.
I was lying in the street, in significant pain and unable to get up. Everyone in the small crowd gathered around me appeared to be calling 911.
The ambulance took longer than expected to arrive. A woman crouched down near me.
"I'd like to sit cross-legged behind you and have you put your head on my lap," she said quietly.
And then she did just that. I rested on her lap until the ambulance finally got there. I asked her name.
"Laura," she said.
Laura, I've thought of you many times since that night. Know that my displaced, fractured hip was more tolerable because of your kindness, and I'll never forget it.
My Mother-in-Law's Mink by Mikki Shaw
I had spent a cold, gray Friday afternoon helping to sort and pack up my mother-in law's clothes. She had two fur coats, and I took them because I didn't know what else to do.
On the way home, we stopped for a hot dog at Nathan's. (It's my fast food weakness.)
"Is it cold out?" the young woman at the register asked.
"Yes," I said.
"I have to take a bus when I get out at 11," she said, "and all I brought was a sweater."
I went out to the car, got one of the minks, came back inside and gave it to her.
Parking Lesson by Ray Furlong
I pulled onto West 130thStreet between Lenox and Fifth Avenues looking for a parking spot. I noticed one between two cars. I knew there wasn't a fire hydrant there.
Getting into the spot would have been a tight squeeze, but nothing I couldn't handle. Luckily, though, I saw that there was a man sitting in the Jeep parked in front of the empty space. He had easily half a car's length ahead of him that he could move up into. I figured I would ask if he would mind making my job easier.
Pulling alongside the Jeep, I saw that the man was leaning back in his seat. His window was already down. I rolled down my front passenger side window.
"Hi, excuse me." I said, "Would you mind puling up a bit so I could squeeze in behind you?"
No response.
"Excuse me, sir?"
This time, he answered.
"Can't you see I'm busy?"
"I'm sorry," I said. "I just wanted to ask if you could move up a tad, maybe three feet."
"I heard what you said," he said. "I'll move up two feet, and learn how to park."
Now I was annoyed.
He pulled the Jeep up, and I backed into the empty spot easily. Turning off the ignition, I decided to ask the man if he would evaluate my parking job. After all, he had said I needed to learn.
As I approached the Jeep, the man was reaching out the window with his hand open. Almost magnetically, my hand was drawn into his.
"I'm sorry," he said. "I'm on the phone with the funeral home. My Father just passed. Please, go easy on me."
It doesn't take much to set us off when we're surrounded by millions of people, especially in the heat. So go easy on each other.

CARBONE TO RACE AT SUZUKA 1000 KILOMETRES Brazilian star Fabio Carbone, who is currently racing for Ultimate Signature on the World Series by Renault, will make a one-off return to the Japanese racing scene at the end of August. The 27 ...
Brazilian star Fabio Carbone, who is currently racing for Ultimate Signature on the World Series by
Renault, will make a one-off return to the Japanese racing scene at the end of August.
The 27 year-old will drive a Nissan Nismo GT-R at the prestigious Suzuka 1000 kilometre race, which takes place from August 23-24. Fabio will join the team's regular line-up of Japanese driver Satoshi Motoyama and Frenchman Benoit Treluyer, who compete on the Japanese Super GT Championship.
Carbone has plenty of experience on this championship, having finished second overall on the series last year. He is also well-acquainted with all the Japanese circuits, thanks to his experience in Formula Nippon and Japanese Formula 3. He last drove at the Suzuka 1000 kilometres in 2006 as part of the Nissan factory team, where he impressed with both his speed and consistency.
The Brazilian -- the winner of the most recent World Series by Renault round in Hungary -- has just tested the 500 horsepower Nissan he will drive next month at a two-day session in Motegi.
"I'm very much looking forward to the opportunity of driving this great car again," said Carbone.
"I've got extremely fond memories of racing in Japan and Suzuka is one of my favourite circuits: it's a real drivers' track with some proper corners. I've got quite a lot of experience with GT racing and the circuit, so the test was just about re-acquainting myself with the package as a whole. It's always really difficult to predict the outcome of an endurance race, as anything can happen, but I'm very confident that we will be competitive. I'd like to thank NISMO for giving me this great chance and I fully intend to make the most of it."

Store at room temperature, and shake bottle before using so herbs float to top. Enjoy!

I have been so very fortunate to exhibit solo over 90 times. This was at the Vancouver East Cultural Center. Over the years I have moved from using oil paints, to using acrylics. All of the paintings below are done with oils. I am happy to say that most of these are now held by collectors.
Laara WilliamSen has been painting and drawing since the age of 3 years. Growing up in
the Lower Fraser Valley, B.C., Canada, she was immersed in the seasons and surrounded
by a large extended family and a supportive country community where she received much
encouragement to continue her drawings as a child. At the age of 19 years, she was
fortunate to study with the international artist, Robert E. Wood in both his New Westminster
and North Vancouver, B.C. studios where he taught her the basics of oil painting. During her
twenties, she painted as many as six paintings a day one on top of another on cardboard in
her garage studio. Often, she painted nature from memory. At this time, she also began to
sell her paintings from her home studio through personal referrals.
WilliamSen attended the Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver, B.C. Canada and graduated in 1988 with a four year major in Interdisciplinary studies. She has been deeply influenced by the art works of W. Kandinsky, Georgia O'Keefe, Frieda Kahlo, Emily Carr and the works of the Impressionists and Fauve artists. The city and street people inspire her to paint as does the forest, ocean and stars. She is fascinated by our responses to the infinite cycles within both nature and human nature. Colour and texture are important to her. In the end, although she creates the painting, she believes that once it is completed the painting has a life of its own.
WilliamSen has received nine international awards, most notable, the Top Ten Painting Award in 1989 in the International Artitudes Competition sponsored by Gallery 54 in SoHo, New York, N.Y., U.S.A. and curated by the Fogg Museum, the MOMA in Chicago and the Guild Hall Museum. Other awards include the PEACE PROJECT, U.S.A. selected touring international group exhibition, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. Some local awards include The B.C. Cultural fund and The B.C. Scholarship Fund in Canada. She has exhibited solo over 90 times and participated in 131 group exhibitions. During the past few years WilliamSen has been honored to be selected to participate in twenty-six international group exhibitions. Her art works are held in Permanent Collections at the Paul Getty III Museum, Siena, Italy, The Boston Art Library, New York, USA, and the Biuro Pronocji Kultury, Gdansk, Poland. WilliamSen's paintings are held in private collections in Canada, the U.S.A., Mexico, the United Kingdom, Italy, Poland, Germany, France,Thailand, China and Australia.

This dream was dreamt in the early hours of the morning while I was feeling horribly ill and dehydrated and as such it was possibly trying to comfort me in some way. It was quite hallucinatory and very sentimental for myself towards the end.
I dreamt I was partying with angels that had most likely fallen from heaven. They appeared to be in the bodies of everyday women, mostly in their thirties or forties, from various different backgrounds, and seemed confused as to whether they were actually humans or actually angels. Perhaps they were neither, or both? Read More »

Here is a picture of my girls with their cousin Rachel after the meal. : ) We all felt a little sluggish after the feast:
With such full bellies, it is tradition to spend the afternoon playing Swing Golf in Grandma and Grandpa's backyard. Have you ever played it? It is SO MUCH fun! I highly recommend it for family fun. (Even though this year I had to face the sad fact that I'm really no good at it at all!)
It's also known as Blongo Ball, Redneck Rodeo, Swing Golf, Ladder Ball, etc. (See bottom of the post for its many, many names) : ) This year there was even an official double elimination tournament, and for the first year, Karissa was old enough to participate:
Getting tips from Grandpa Joe and Cousin Ross:
Because she was the youngest player, she got to be a tad bit closer to the poles.
She did a little mambo dance before every throw, and it seemed to work. : )
In the background, you can hear one of the teenagers saying, "I'm not going to cut her any slack, because she is good!" You can also see my mom up against the fence.
This Mother's Day was especially fun because my mom was here visiting. I think it has been about 10 years since Mom and I have spent Mother's Day together. I'll do another post later about the fun the two of us had while she was here this weekend.
The Spectators:
Karissa's "Midgets" team did really well and so did my mom's "Champs" team, but poor Mary got stuck with me as a teammate, so the "Mean Mamas" didn't fair so well. : )
The winners of the tournament were Joe and Nancy- "The Senior Citizens." We all think it was because they had home field advantage!
If you are interested in finding a swing golf, blongo ball, redneck rodeo, whatever-you-want-to call it, for yourself, we found ours at Costco last year. Joe and Nancy got theirs at a Flea Market in Arizona this winter. This website has instructions on how to make your own if you are so inclined and has the official rules. Have fun!

From a conference in Canada, Sean recently had the opportunity to interview Jojo Ruba, head of Faith Beyond Belief, an apologetics and worldview ministry that trains young people across Canada. Jojo shares some practical lessons American Christians can learn from the secular shift in Canada.
More About Our Guest
Jojo Ruba is Executive Director of Faith Beyond Belief, a Canadian apologetics organization based in Calgary, Alberta.
Episode Transcript
Sean McDowell: Welcome to the podcast Think Biblically, conversations on faith and culture. I'm your host, Sean McDowell, professor of Apologetics at Talbot Theological Seminary, Biola University.
Our guest today is a friend of mine, Jojo Ruba, who's a friend of Biola that has a ministry called Faith Beyond Belief in Canada. We're actually recording this up as I'm speaking at your conference.
Jojo Ruba: Both of us are.
Sean McDowell: Both of us are. Yes. That makes sense, doesn't it? As we're at your conference here in Canada. We explored topics that we could cover in this that would interest our audience. When I asked you, you said, "What about lessons that Americans could learn from where Canada is at, in terms of religious freedom and socially?"
So let me just throw it out there and say, broadly speaking, what makes you think that there's certain lessons about where America is headed that we can learn from where Canada is and where Canada's going.
Jojo Ruba: Let me clarify. I'm not saying that we have so much to teach you guys. That's not what I'm saying at all.
Sean McDowell: Of course.
Jojo Ruba: In fact, the fact that I'm on Biola's podcast, it's an amazing thing. We love Biola. We like to promote them as much as we can. But no. We're so much ahead, maybe 10, 20 ... Not actually that much ahead, but maybe 10, 20 years ahead of where the States is at culturally, politically, socially. And so from the Christian perspective, there's much that you can do to prepare for what's going to happen. If the things that are happening here, and there's no doubt I think in terms of the trends, that you're following us, that it's going to happen in the States as well.
Foundationally, we're now at a point where, I think Greg Koukl mentioned this from Stand to Reason. He said, the battles on abortion, homosexuality, they're just previews of battles about faith and Christianity. Can we actually say that Christianity is true, for example, and not be accused of intolerance?
Where just last year in Alberta, we had a Christian school that was told by their school board, which is a secular school board, but they're a Christian school, that they were not allowed to teach parts of the Bible that were controversial or offensive to people. This Christian school principal agreed to that statement.
Now, they believe, the board said, "No, we're not going to do that," but it was on the issue of homosexuality, but it was a general ban on anything in Scripture that was considered offensive by anyone else.
Sean McDowell: So-
Jojo Ruba: And-
Sean McDowell: Oh, keep going. I'm sorry.
Jojo Ruba: At this point, the school might even close down because they might be shut down by the school board.
Sean McDowell: Now, from what I understand about Christian schools in Canada, some get funding from the government, and some don't. Is-
Jojo Ruba: Yeah. That's the case. Canada doesn't have a separation of church and state as in the States, and so that's good and bad. Part of it is, it's good that we don't have a club against us in terms of schools. We can still pray in school, but in practice, it's almost the same. A lot of the publicly funded, so-called public-funded Christians or Catholic schools, they end up being just as secular or even worse because they end up teaching young people that basically, your religious beliefs are just cultural practices rather than something that's true.
But in this situation here in Alberta, we have a unique situation. I won't go too much into detail. But what it actually says is we have school choice. We're one of the best jurisdictions in the continent to let parents pay for a education that they want to able to have. The student gets public funding for stuff that the government mandates, but anything else that they want to do, like religious education, death education, sports or athletes, they [inaudible 00:03:23] have to pay more. They can build a school base around that.
Christian schools, atheist schools can be built based on that model.
Sean McDowell: Wow. Is the concern that they're getting government funding, the government now gets to dictate what is taught and what is not?
Jojo Ruba: Absolutely. That's a big deal, but my point is actually, the religious education part doesn't get any government funding. That's what the private part of the school, that parents have to pay for.
What's happened though is the legislation is not just covering these kinds of things. Legislation has been passed in Alberta that mandates gay straight alliance clubs. Obviously, you're familiar with that in California, but these are promotional clubs. We have heard of a pastor, for example, a gay pastor saying to students in a public school that homosexuality is perfectly fine in the Bible at a private club.
These clubs, a new law that just got passed in Alberta again is that parents don't even have to know if their five-year-old is attending this sexuality club, taught by these kinds of pastors and activists who are teaching them that anyone who opposes this legislation wants to out and harm gay kids.
Sean McDowell: Let me take a step back and say, when we look at where Canada's at and where America sure seems to be headed, are the issues primarily over sexual issues, the body integrity issues?
Jojo Ruba: Like I said, if I could quote Greg Koukl again, he said, "These are just previews of the kinds of fights we're getting," so it starts there absolutely. But the standard they're using is, if it's offensive, it makes people feel bad, then we can ban you.
There was another situation out in Nova Scotia, out in the East Coast of Canada, which is north of Massachusetts. That area. They had a young man there who's wearing a T-shirt that said, "Life is wasted without Jesus." This was about a few years ago. He got suspended from his school because the students said that his shirt was offensive for telling them that they were wrong.
Now, the worst part of this, and it doesn't stop there, the government as well as the superintendent of the school, this is what she said, "We realize students have religious beliefs. They're of course welcome to share. We're not saying people can't have different religions. We're just saying you can't criticize other people's religions."
There was no irony or thought in her mind that if I were to wear that thought on my T-shirts-
Sean McDowell: Exactly.
Jojo Ruba: ... and walk into her school, that would be offensive to me as a Christian, right? So the lack of apologetics is coming from the churches, the fact that we don't engage as a Christian community, the fruit is being shown in how culture is treating us now.
Sean McDowell: Now, is it fair to say that Christianity is being singled out in this way? Is Islam being singled out? What about conservatives? People like Jordan Peterson, right?
Jojo Ruba: Yes.
Sean McDowell: ... who, right, refuses to go along with the line-
Jojo Ruba: Well, we're praying that Jordan Peterson finally becomes a Christian, right? That's one of the things. No. Well, Jordan Peterson has become a hero because he's pushed back and he's done it in the right way. Even though he probably hasn't heard it, the good ambassador, the model of being thoughtful, focusing on facts, pointing out the contradictions of those who are opponents and realizing people who are transgender are not our enemy. They're the victims. We need to help and show grace to them.
I don't know if ... I guess I could tell you this. I actually just said Biola, and I accidentally joined a protest against Biola.
Sean McDowell: Oh, yes. I did see your post on this.
Jojo Ruba: Yeah because what happened was I was interviewing a guy who's associated with people in Biola who was protesting because of the school's stands on sexuality, which obviously is a Biblical stance. We perfectly agree with that. We'd be actually very upset if you changed your policies on that.
He said, "Why don't you interview me in front of the school?" I'm like, "Okay. What's going on there?" I'm like, "Oh, oh." "Just come."
When I went there, it was actually a protest against Biola's policy on homosexuality. I ended up hanging around, figuring what I should do, not wanting to argue with the people there but just listening.
It was interesting. It's already there like in terms of ideas. What we're seeing is it's legislative here. They were holding signs that said, "Bad theology kills." I thought, well, that's true actually. That's very true. But in their mindset, they're saying, "Biola's policies on homosexuality kills gay people."
If that's your mindset, then you're going to create laws that are going to be, not just detrimental to the church on this issue, but on any issue because now, your conservative Biblical worldview that tells people that they're wrong, we can actually ban that. We can make it illegal. We can make it hate speech.
Just two days ago, in, again, in Alberta. This is where I'm from, so I know much of the laws. I can speak on some of the other provinces. They're planning to ban any pro-life speech, including peaceful prayers in a buffer zone so huge you can't even do it on the other side of the street, around the two abortion clinics in our province.
Sean McDowell: Oh, my goodness. Because the pro-life position actually brings harm to women, is the reasoning behind it.
Jojo Ruba: Right. And the pro-abortion people have deemed any opposition as harassment. So in another town in Alberta, in Lethbridge, they had a bus ad that simply said, "Abortion harms children," and it had a picture of a fetus. The abortion advocates were saying, "Well, no. We don't perform abortions after viability," which is not true. Abortions, there's no law in Canada. A nine-month-old baby is going to be legally aborted here. But they lied to the bus ad company where these ads were being placed, and they took those bus ads down because women were complaining that they might have miscarriages and these ads caused trauma to them. The idea of freedom of speech when it comes to covering pro-life speech now is being taken away.
The government is also planning to ban, it already happened in Ontario. I can tell you about that situation. In Alberta, they're planning to ban what they're deeming conversion therapy. In Ontario, what they've done is, it's the largest province in Canada, they've actually banned it. They've included transgenderism. Any secular counseling, particularly for young kids, and this is where they start and they want to bring it to adults, they want to ban any kind of counseling so that if a kid who's gender confused, who's a girl, but she thinks she's boy, is not allowed to see a counselor to change her mind.
There was this wonderful clinic in Toronto had a 85-95% success rate in helping these kids readjust to accept their bodies for what they are. That clinic got shut down because of legislation.
Now, I know things are pretty bad in California as well. We've been following the law there.
Sean McDowell: Yeah. That's right.
Jojo Ruba: But in terms of ideology, this is the worst part, churches aren't saying anything.
Sean McDowell: This is my next question for you. Is the church awake to this? Is the church pretending it's not happening? Is the church moving left? Give me a sense of where the church is at.
Jojo Ruba: Right. In Canada, we've always had a strong idea of the mainstream churches were the dominant ones. That's obviously changing particularly because of immigration. The immigrants are really the ones who are growing the churches. They're the ones who are active against these issues.
In Ontario, it's going to be interesting to see because there's a conservative politician who's running now, who's actually winning in urban areas because these are the areas where immigrants and including Sikhs and Hindus and Muslims who are conservative parents, are voting him in because they hate the kind of legislations that's being created. The problem is their kids are adopting the values of the culture. If we don't help them now, the next generation will be lost to us as well.
But in terms of the church, so I mean the issue I think for the church is in Canada, we've had a mindset that we shouldn't be involved. We don't want to rock the boat. There's a stereotype that we're really proud of that Canadians are super nice. We're really, really glad for that because we're not Americans. Sorry guys because we're really nice.
However, and this is what I point out when I speak to churches, the Bible never commands Christians to be nice. He commands us to be loving. I was speaking at another school, and it was on sexuality and gender identity. We have a project called the Identity Project. We actually help the Christian schools respond to some of this legislation by challenging them to talk about sex from a Biblical perspective.
Sean, you have to see their faces because they've never done it before. What I tell them is, "Look, if you guys don't talk about it and show how good God's design is, someone else will fill that gap, and they're not going to agree with our worldview."
Sean McDowell: So really, it's a worldview issue at its heart-
Jojo Ruba: All of it is. All of it is worldview [crosstalk 00:11:45]
Sean McDowell: ... more than anything else.
Jojo Ruba: Absolutely.
Sean McDowell: One of the things I'm discovering is that typical barriers, historically speaking, across cultures and differences are kind of fading away.
Jojo Ruba: Absolutely.
Sean McDowell: We almost have a global culture now. I've experienced that in Singapore. I've experienced that in South America. I've experience that here in Canada as well. What are the core issues when you work with students, Christian kids and non-Christian kids, that you just find confusion about, where they have just bought lock stock and barrel into certain ideas in our media and television and film and music today?
Jojo Ruba: Well, one of the key things, and I always start off with this. I started as I mentioned today in my introduction to one of our speakers, I started in pro-life apologetics and had gotten to Christian apologetics. The reason why that is is because my passion for pro-life hasn't diminished, but when I spend 45% of my pro-life presentation talking about and making the case for truth, making the case for right and wrong, making the case for saying, not only that truth exists, but it matters and that the Christian worldview is both true and good, I realized, gosh, we need to fix the church first and that what's happening the culture is merely the result of what's happening in the churches.
That, in terms of speaking to youth, what I've been finding is they have this mindset that my opinion matters even if I don't. What I mean by that is, if you were to disagree with what I believe, that isn't a personal attack or affront to me. They can't separate the two. They're confusing the two. So any kind of disagreement on sexuality or gender, for example, becomes now an attack on a gay person.
You talk about that all the time. One of the key lines I like to use from Sam Allberry from Ravi Zacharias Ministries. He's a same-sex attracted speaker but who's celibate. He says, "My sexuality is not my identity."
When I share that with young people to say, "Look. You may not be able to choose how you feel, but you can choose what to do with those feelings, and here's the other thing. You can choose your identity. By the way, Jesus gives us the best identity ever. His own." That gives them a real thought process to think about to say, "Now, wait a second. Am I just my sexuality or am I made for something more?"
That positive response is something they need to hear because the second point just quickly is that young people need to know that there's goodness. They need to know where that's grounded in even if they don't ask that question, that second part. They're asking the first part. They're told they're good, if they do thee things.
Now, we just had you debate Bart Campolo, which was awesome by the way. We're looking forward to sharing that with others. We'll have in our website FaithBeyondBelief.com.ca.
But one of the challenges I have with people, talking with people like him or the social justice warrior type is their presupposition of what love looks like. I was going to share this story. I was up in Edmonton, and I spoke on this project, the Identity Project. There was a pastor there during Q&A time who was hostile, who wasn't supposed to be there. So I didn't realize he was. He was part of a pastor's breakfast that met there, and then he was invited to this event that I didn't realize. He pushed back and said, "Look. Our church, our denomination has now accepted everybody. We're a loving church. We accept everyone. Love is what matters." Of course, implying that we're not loving, and so I didn't push back on the issue of sexuality. What I did was push back on his definition of love.
You know how it always is. You think of a response after the fact [crosstalk 00:15:03]
Sean McDowell: I do that all the time. Just for the record.
Jojo Ruba: I did respond. I think it worked really well. No one got mad. It made him think. But this is how I would've responded. I think this is even better. I would've said to him, "Sir, do you have a wife who loves you?" I think he was married. He would say, "Yes." "Has she ever corrected you to help you become a better person? Do you think she stopped loving you when she corrected you? So if love is willing to correct, then love doesn't just accept you for what you are. Love also wants you to become a better person, doesn't it?"
Sean McDowell: Man, I bet you wish you could step back and say [crosstalk 00:15:37] I told you. I always have those moments afterwards, but your point is powerful. Ironically, he thinks his position is loving, so he's correcting you-
Jojo Ruba: Exactly.
Sean McDowell: ... and you're just pointing out saying, "Okay. Wait a minute. This is what love does." I find the same kind of conversations. I oftentimes, rather than debating the particulars of whatever the policy is, I want to look at the assumptions, the presuppositions.
Jojo Ruba: Absolutely.
Sean McDowell: Because I give the courtesy to people who disagree with me that they're doing what they think is right and what they think is loving. I want to say, "Will you give me the same courtesy and think that I'm at least motivated by love?"
Jojo Ruba: That's great because that's what young people need to hear as well. They need to be affirmed that they're trying to do something good. Most social justice warrior type people are trying to do good. The problem is their definition of what goodness is.
I'm working on a paper. I'm working on a book hopefully. The title I have, this working title, I think is really good. The title is "Redeeming Love."
Sean McDowell: I like it.
Jojo Ruba: It's a double entendre. It means both God's redemptive love, but the concept is that we need to redeem the concept of love for this culture, especially on issues of sexuality and gender. That's what the whole book is about. It's apologetics on homosexuality because the debate at the end of the day is not about sex. The debate at the end of the day is the character of God.
Sean McDowell: Hey, amen to that. When that book is out, we'll have you back on to talk about it.
Jojo Ruba: It sounds good. I want your endorsement if it's good.
Sean McDowell: Oh, my goodness. I would love to. Let me ask you this. Back to the question of where-
Jojo Ruba: Of Canada. Yes.
Sean McDowell: ... America's seemingly fallen. I agree with you, some of the tracks, kind of the secular movement within Canada. If you could go back 5 or 10 or 20 years in Canada, what should the church do differently, which would apply to what you think the church and even places like Biola should do at this moment?
Jojo Ruba: Absolutely. Well, things like ... One of the things I'm just really proud of is during pro-life apologetics really gave me some practical concrete ways to practice apologetics. Where you're on the streets everyday talking to people. We're always training people the Stand to Reason model where we're kind and gentle. They may hate my pictures. I have people say that so many times to us. A professor came by and said, "I really hate your pictures, but I love talking to you." I'm like, "Thank Greg Koukl," right? That's his model.
Sean McDowell: That's funny.
Jojo Ruba: That practical approach has really gotten me a lot of worldview experience. If we get Christians doing that, learning how to model, how to talk about these tough issues, right off the bat, even those young people, it blows their minds how much it makes sense once they get to those places.
Sean McDowell: By the way, these are pictures of aborted babies.
Jojo Ruba: Aborted babies. That's right.
Sean McDowell: You go on college campuses, you show them, people get upset, but you engage them graciously and talk about the topics.
Jojo Ruba: Absolutely. In fact, we pray for these people beforehand because we see them not as enemies, but as victims.
Sean McDowell: So one thing, and this is what your movement is about across Canada is a worldview apologetic training-
Jojo Ruba: Absolutely.
Sean McDowell: ... but learning how to talk with people in a gracious manner. We're on the same boat. That is what Biola's about.
Jojo Ruba: I know that. That's what I love about-
Sean McDowell: Give me another one the church needs to do, or would that be enough?
Jojo Ruba: Well, that's part of it because it's ... There's three things, actually. You need to provide the truth. You need to show the truth and explain why the truth matters. This is something that we did badly. For example, again, we'll just bring up the marriage issue. We debated the issue of homosexuality by focusing on marriage, which is great. We should do that, but we should also focus on intimacy and friendship because that is something that God offers. The idea of a relationship is both for same sex and opposite sex. God designed us for that. We want to create a counter-narrative to what the culture is saying on these issues that actually Biblical, but also showing that it's good, right?
Secondly, you need to show the methodologies. Just like with the pro-life approach. We want to be able to talk well as ambassadors for Christ. Our motto for our organization is: effective ambassadors for Christ in every day conversations because those conversations matter.
That's the other part I think too is we want to be able to show role models to people. People who they can look up to, especially young people. Just say, "Hey, that guy has not fallen. He maybe not be perfect, but he treats me like a human being," like your dad mentioned last night. We have a relationship, and he actually believes this stuff. That's so important.
What happened in Canada is we have wonderful leaders but no actual I think national leaders who are able to say, "I actually handle those issues like abortion and homosexuality and do it well and do it graciously, and by the way, do it because Jesus loves you." That needs to be heard, and so those role models are necessary.
Look, it's so important to fight these issues, but when we look to the States and look to other places, oftentimes, people don't know how to handle it or they don't want to talk about it. When that happens, there's no role models, there's no methodology, and then the facts we hear are just it's wrong, but no reasons for it. That has to be addressed right away or else you're going the same path we are.
Sean McDowell: That's a great, great model, so to speak, of things we need to do. Not just God says. "Don't do this," or, "Do this," but the reasons why, especially for a generation that's skeptical and that has a million voices.
Jojo Ruba: And has Google.
Sean McDowell: They can Google anything.
Jojo Ruba: Exactly.
Sean McDowell: How do you balance when you speak to young people? Because we hear people talking about this is a snowflake generation, so easily offended, see the world through their feelings. If you say anything wrong, you're going the offend people, but on the flip side, you're talking about some pretty thorny issues-
Jojo Ruba: Absolutely.
Sean McDowell: ... with people who aren't even Christians. How do you do it in a way where you get at truth? Are young people wanting to hear this stuff? Are you're facing resistance? I'm curious of your experience.
Jojo Ruba: Well, right now, I speak to mostly Christian schools, but even then, we get pushback. I was just doing a set of these talks-
Sean McDowell: But there's a lot of non-Christians at Christian schools. A ton.
Jojo Ruba: Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. No, for sure. But some of these are so-called Christians. I think there has to be leadership from the churches, and this means now, to be able to clarify what that means. Just because you go to a church, just because you claim this or say you're a really nice person, like Bart Campolo's definition of Christianity really blew my mind, if I could be honest because a lot of it was, "Let's go help the poor." Well, atheists do that. Frankly, Jesus said to love the poor, take care of them, but loving them doesn't mean you have to make everybody the same class as you. That's Marxism. That's not Christianity, right?
But in terms of speaking to young people, this is what I do. I remind them that they matter, not because I say so, but because God says so, if they're Christians. But the way that God makes them matter is not by taking their feelings and making it the most important thing.
One analogy I like to use is this. Look, feelings are great. God gave them to us. They're not wrong to feel things. But feelings can lie to us. Feelings are like a beautiful flower. If you put them on a vase, they last a couple of days. Then, they die. But if you want that flower to thrive, you have to put it in cold, hard dirt for it to survive. That dirt is truth. So truth has to be the foundation for feelings because one is the foundation. Those feelings will actually be better in the long run. Those feelings will actually matter in the long run.
One of the examples I use is there's a T-shirt you can buy on the internet. I think it's on Amazon that says, "There's more than two genders." When you try to buy it, you can only buy it in male or female sizes, right?
Sean McDowell: Of course.
Jojo Ruba: I point this out, and I say, "Look, you can not escape reality." That's the point. Rather than trying to change reality by your feelings, which is what a lot of these issues do, you have to be able to say, "Look, at the end of the day, why do I want my feelings to matter that much? Isn't it fair to say that you can disagree with someone and still love them?"
One quick way I do that with students just to get them completely nodding at the start is I ask these teenagers, and you know how this works: how many of them love their parents? Most of them put up their hand. A few of them, "Yeah." I ask, "How many of you agree with everything your parents believe or say?" I had one hand up in one talk. I've done this for five years or so. I looked, and it was really dark. I realized it was one of the dads who raised his hand [crosstalk 00:23:18]
Sean McDowell: Oh, none of the kids.
Jojo Ruba: So I've never had a kid raise their hand and say, "I agree with everything my parents said." But then I asked them, "Okay. Well, wait a second then. Doesn't that mean that you can love your parents but still disagree with them? Doesn't that mean that you can love people and still disagree with them on these issues?" I start there.
Sean McDowell: And they see it, right?
Jojo Ruba: They see it because it's obvious.
Sean McDowell: See, that is such an obvious point, and yet I found myself with this generation, having to go back and point out things-
Jojo Ruba: Exactly.
Sean McDowell: ... that were obvious to generation ago.
Jojo Ruba: Exactly.
Sean McDowell: The way I do it, an illusion I like is you take a beach ball, push it under the water, and it pops up. I assume that this generation knows they shouldn't guide their life by their feelings or it hasn't been pointed out to them. I assume they know there's such a thing as truth. We got to take a step back in how we approach them.
Jojo Ruba: That's right.
Sean McDowell: Let me ask you this last question.
Jojo Ruba: Sure.
Sean McDowell: Where do you get your courage and your boldness from? Now, you're probably talking to pastors, to students, to parents. I want to frame it this way because there's a lot of people right now in America that are concerned for the future of the church, concerned for religious freedom. Where does this boldness and confidence come from? What would you say to people that are a few years behind Canada and need a little shot in the arm to kind of fight the good fight?
Jojo Ruba: Well, I had a conversation actually in this church with a young lady who came after she heard my talk on conversation training. She said, "You know, I'm a really shy person. I don't know if I can do the stuff." It was a God thing, of course. I asked her this question in return. I said, "Do you have any shy friends who are like you?" She said, "Of course." "Do you think they'd be more willing to listen to someone like you than someone like me?" She nodded. I said, "Look, this is the point. We don't need," as you've said many times, "It's wonderful we have a million dollar apologists. It's wonderful we have great speakers out there, but the most powerful thing we can do is be Jesus in every day conversations and remember that those conversations don't just matter to the person you're speaking to. They matter to God."
And so in wisdom, I look at this and that's why we chose this model to say anyone can do this. We have 85-year-old ladies and 12-year-old kids who take our worldview program. They come back to us, and they say, "I actually do this. This is great. I'm so encouraged."
This is the point. What I see in the church, what we're trying to do now, what we should've done 20 years ago is empower young people, ordinary people to say, "I can have these conversations that matter. I don't have to wait for Sean McDowell or Jojo Ruba or have all these programs put together or big conferences. I can do it in my every day life because Jesus did that for me."
Sean McDowell: Jojo, we're grateful for you, your boldness, your ministry. When I came to Canada a decade or so ago, there was minimal apologetics and worldview. Now, it's taken off. 1,500 plus people at the conference.
Jojo Ruba: I know. It's great.
Sean McDowell: Be encouraged. Keep fighting the good fight. Remind our audience really fast your website.
Jojo Ruba: FaithBeyondBelief.ca.
Sean McDowell: We'll put a link that you can find and followup with all of your ministry. Again, thanks for coming on. It's an honor to do this-
Jojo Ruba: My privilege. [crosstalk 00:26:09]
Sean McDowell: ... especially from Canada.

"These were used 30 years ago, and we are talking about 21st century United States, not an underdeveloped country with no access to medication. They have high toxicity and limited benefits for patients with RA," she says. "At some point, they were all we had, but today methotrexate is a first-line medication used for rheumatoid arthritis."

Dr. Shakoory was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis during her rheumatology fellowship and attends the fly-in because her experiences have given her first-hand knowledge of the challenges and barriers to providing and receiving care.
This year's agenda also includes asking for dedicated, line-item research funding for RA from the Department of Defense. "It is the second leading cause of medical discharge from the military after battlefield trauma," says Dr. Harvey.
Participants will also push for improved patient access to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), a bone density test. Medicare reimbursement for DXA has dropped 70% since 2007. This no longer covers the provider cost to administer the test and forces patients to seek scans at hospitals.
Further, attendees will discuss with legislators the unintended consequences of a billing change designed to reduce administrative burden. It calls for consolidating all evaluation and management services into a single billing code.
"Doctors who tend to see highly complex patients will see a decrease in their overall reimbursement, and doctors who see lower-level patients will see a bump in reimbursement," says Dr. Harvey. "It will not recognize the contributions rheumatologists make in treating complex patients."
Patient Input & Impact
At the event, longtime attendee Michael Taffe says personal stories matter, and everyone has a different role to play. Mr. Taffe is a rheumatology patient with a passion for helping others.
"I have learned that patients have a different impact on the members [of Congress] than the doctors do," he says. "Once we understand the agenda of the doctors, … it's my job to put a real face on what the doctors are talking about and asking for."
For Nancy Ellis, MBA/MHA, an ARHP member and practice administrator at Piedmont Arthritis Clinic, Greenville, S.C., attending the fly-in in the past has helped her foster relationships with her representatives. "You've got a name when something is going down, instead of just sending something to an amorphous email box," she says.
Attending for the first time can be nerve-wracking, but Mr. Taffe reminds people to be themselves. This is what Sydney Lau hopes to do this year, when she attends for the second time. The high school senior from California says she was really nervous last year, but is setting aside college applications to once again share her personal experience in living with JIA at the national level.

Seth Smith Shopify guru, not to be confused with the famous baseball player is a 24 year old Shopify e-commerce store owner, course creator and Youtuber that claims to show you how to setup a drop shipping e-commerce business from anywhere in the world.
Given my history of reviewing courses, there have been some really poor courses and a few awesome courses. Seth's course is a mixed bag, there are some good modules and some really poor ones. It's a course designed.. for a beginner, all be it vastly expensive at $1,997.
If you're just starting out, thats a sh*t ton of money to invest in a course given others in the market range from $197 to $2997.
It's definitely not the longest course in the market, nor is it the shortest but it does offer lots of value.
Whether you can justify that value at $1,997? For me, I can't.
It purely focuses on Facebook ad Instagram Ads, Email Marketing and Shopify. If you're looking for search engine optimization strategies, other social media advertising, chat bots and Clickfunnels training you're going to be disappointed, for now anyway.
Seth could always update the course in the future, but for now my review is on what I can watch.
Advanced eCommerce Academy Review
At the time of writing the course was split up into 9 weekly series.
Welcome Module – Introduction
This module includes three videos, one of which is an introduction to the course and how it will work, a breif overview of your course instructor, Seth Smith.
This proceeds into a second video called, what is drop shipping and why you need to be in it now. Given you've just bought the course, I'd hope you'd know already.
Lastly is a strange video on the terminology of e-commerce and is fairly short.
Week One – Product Research
If you were disappointed to find only three videos in your first module, you'll be slightly more upbeat to learn about the product research videos that are presented in week two.
They are fairly short but include videos on the following:
- General vs Niche Stores
- Product Research tools including Thieve.co, Aliexpress.com and paid software tools.
Week Two – Building Your Store
Okay finally a module with lots of content and if you're a beginner, this section will be an absolute delight as you'll be able to create a fully fledged Shopify store within a few hours.
I'm not going to list out every video included in this section, you can grab that from the sales page.
I'll quickly summarize what you'll learn:
- Choosing a Shopify plan, quick setup guide
- Changing store currency to USD
- Creating and uploading alogo
- Registering a domain name
- Google analytics setup and installation, email setup
- Pricing your products
- Automation with Oberlo including setup
- Checkout optimisation
- Adding reviews, product images, titles
- Adding RocketMessage to your store
- Cart Recovery and abandonment
- Using RocketMessage.
So the section starts off well and includes lots of videos on setting up your store. It follows a similar style of every other course but does go into more detail than some other courses. The course then recommends RocketMessage which costs $29 per month plus 2.5% per sale recovered.
I'm unsure how Seth is connected to RocketMessage (it looks like he owns it) or whether he was just an affiliate but it's a great way to recover sales using push notifications. Just use it carefully as there are many stories online of people getting banned on Facebook Ads for running their software.
To be fair this module is fairly concise.
Week Three – Facebook Ads
This module appears to offer lots of videos but when you start going through the course you realise how much is missing and could be updated or improved. Compared with reguarly updated courses there is lots of room for improvement. You'll learn:
- Facebook account setup, pixel setup, walk through of FB Ad manager
- Targeting 101, niche organising, interest group building, narrowing audiences
- Creating and launching your first ads
- Video audiences and retargeting tricks, fan page secrets
- Dynamic retargeting setup and launching
- Building look a like audiences
- Basics around analysis and 20% scaling method.
Week Four – Email Marketing
A fairly short module but does cover most of the basics around email marketing including an introduction to email marketing, building relationships, secret tricks on what else you can sell via email marketing, capturing emails effectively and setting up Klaviyo.
There is then eight videos on how to setup and integrate Klaviyo including:
- Basic flows discussion
- Abandoned cart flow
- Welcome series
- New customer thank you emails
- Browse Abandonment
- Email marketing bonuses.
Again, Klaviyo is a good recommendation and used by many Shopify store owners but the price can add up dramatically if you're running a large store compared with other alternatives such as Mailerlite or Mailchimp.
Week Five & Six – Instagram Influencers & Ads
Module five includes the complete instagram influencer strategy and videos such as:
- Identifying, vetting, contacting and paying influencers
- Instagram basics such as posting, hashtags, engagement, scheduling
- Tracking results and scaling with influencers.
Module six is super short and looks incomplete but offers four videos:
- Instagram ads intro
- Launching your first ad
- Creating video stories
- Launching story ads.
A pretty short module given the power of Instagram ads.
Week Seven – Scaling Past 10k
Scaling is an important part of any business and this section includes various videos on how to do that.
You'll learn how to scale past $10,000 with various techniques including FB objectives, audience optimisation, pixel scaling, increasing average order value with upsell/downsells.
There's also videos on manual bidding and the power of user generated content (UGC).
Week Eight & Nine – Outsourcing / Branding
A super short module including outsourcing customer support and fulfillment.
Branding videos include setting up fulfilment, print on deamdn, partnerships, building relationships, selling your store.
It seems a bit rushed, like thrown together at the end of the course.
Week Ten: Bonus
Your one bonus is a high ticket drop shipping supper list.
As for using it, you're on your own!
Final Verdict
It's clear Seth Smith's course is fairly old and given the price I expected a lot more. $1,997 is a lot of money for most beginners and this course is clearly designed for a beginner in mind. If you're just starting out I do believe you can succeed with Advanced eCommerce Academy but I think you'll have lots of questions at the end of the content.
However the course currently offers 109 lessons which is quite a lot.
Drop shipping is fairly start forward, getting traffic and converting those people is the hard part. The Facebook and Instagram Ads section was fairly short compared with other courses on the market and could be overhauled dramatically. There is no mention of SEO, organic traffic, LinkedIn, Twitter or Pinterest (3 huge traffic sources).
There is also no focus on chat bots, the focus is on retargeting cart recovery with RocketMessage which does work but can add up quickly.
Would I spend $1,997 on this course as a beginner? No Way.
I'd buy eCom Elites and spend $1,800 on my first ad campaigns. More content, less price and an awesome FB mastermind with thousands of other students.
I'll leave it up to you.[wp-review id="3695″]

Something I'll always say yes to is a brunch. Make it bottomless and it's a double yes! I've been to bottomless brunch at Manahatta, Manchester twice now and it's one of my favourites. Back at the start of July, I had a Disney reunion with the girls I worked with at the Historical Research Center. Knowing the city pretty well, I was in charge of finding somewhere for us to meet up for lunch. Adding a little bit (a lot!) of booze into the mix for a summer catch-up was never going to be a bad thing!
First of all, Manahatta, Deansgate has incredible decor! It's highly influenced by New York and has gorgeous furniture, neon lighting and a bit of glamour. I actually came just before Christmas with my Chester girls. The lighting makes it hard to take a really good picture that does the inside justice so I highly recommend going for yourself.
The bottomless brunch at Manahatta is great value for money all round. For £26.95, you get breakfast and unlimited Bloody Marys, Prosecco, pints of Coors or Aperol Spritz. You can also upgrade your food to some lunchtime orientated meals if you're not into brunch. Take a look at their menu here. If you like your Bloody Marys to have a decent kick, I would 100% recommend them from here. Nice and spicy but not overpowering. If you're not into that, their prosecco is nice but I'm not a fan of Aperol to tell you if theirs are good or not.
There are so many options for food and both times I have eaten there, it's been amazing. This time I went for something sweet; the Buttermilk 'High Line'. Essentially is waffles with fried chicken and maple syrup which I don't think I've had since living in the States. Last November, I had the Full English which was a pretty decent portion for the price, to be honest. You can always get a few extra trimmings if you pay an extra £2.50 though.
As I said, it's not the easiest place to try and take a well-lit picture in because of the neon signs but make sure you try! There are a couple of areas that you can take pictures in front of lights like the Statue of Liberty. So next time you're looking for something new, try out bottomless brunch at Manahatta, Manchester. Let me know what you think of it!
