Last Saturday, several SM Malls in Bulacan were plunged into darkness at exactly 8:30 p.m. No, it wasn't the beginning of the dreaded zombie apocalypse. Nor was it the work of terrorists who wanted to take over Marilao, San Jose Del Monte, Pulilan, and Baliwag. Instead, the whole thing was SM's way of supporting Earth Hour 2018 and making people aware of the growing problem of climate change.
Now in its 11th year, Earth Hour encouraged people to #Connect 2Earth" and asked communities worldwide to care for the planet's biodiversity and the environment. The movement hopes to inspire the populace to work for healthy forests, plastic-free oceans, wildlife conservation, and sustainable business.
Creative Ways
Each mall in Bulacan came up with creative ways to celebrate the event. SM City San Jose del Monte, for instance, urged shoppers to recycle and reduce waste as it transformed hundreds of tin cans into lanterns. The tiny holes in the cans created colorful patterns of flowers, trees, animals, and sea life that reminded the audience of conservation. It also showed how simple things can help save the environment.
"Earth Hour should not just be a one-time, big time, once-a-year event. It should be done every hour every day," said Assistant Mall Manager Arch Nelson Lopez.
SM City Marilao had a magic garden that mesmerized people with its solar-powered light installation made of bamboo, recycled cables, and light-emitting diode bulbs. The amazing use of this sustainable technology provided an imaginative way of promoting recycling and environmental protection. The blooms were complemented by four-foot solar powered dandelions. This allowed shoppers to enjoy the beauty of nature in a unique way.
Stewards of the Environment
"Our celebration of Earth Hour is more than an annual tradition of turning off the lights. It is also a platform where we hope people can understand their role as stewards of the environment" Mall Manager Bernadette Velasco said.
In SM City Baliwag, a 16-foot glow in the dark string art installation reminded the community of how things are interconnected. "Because all of us share one home and one planet, understanding interconnectedness is one of the keys to solving earth's pressing challenges" according to Mall Manager Andrew Cristobal.
A mural of candles depicting Earth Hour and the World Wildlife Fund Logo was featured in SM Center Pulilan. People also showed their commitment to saving the planet through a Pledge for the Environment led by Assistant Mall Manager Apple De Leon.
On top of the hourly lights-off campaign every year, SM promotes energy efficiency and follows sustainable practices such as water conservation, solid waste management, and good air quality. Regular clean-up drives and Trash to Cash activities are likewise conducted to involve the community in saving the earth.

Ok, so you have started a business and you are all fired up and ready to go
Ok, so you have started a business and you are all fired up and ready to go! You have read all about the business, learned all the proper procedures, written out your goals and and all the plans that you have to build your business. So, why aren't you getting anywhere?
You become frustrated and start thinking that the company is a scam because you have been in for a month and haven't made any profits or gotten any recruits! But why are you REALLY not getting anywhere? Could it possibly be that you have taken every step you should except for the actual actions?
So many times you see people go full force into a business and they somehow believe that the business will grow and prosper just because they have put their mindset where it should be focused…..on success. However, they haven't taken any physical action to make those goals happen.
While there may actually be telepathic people out there who can read your mind, it is highly unlikely that many of them will be beating your door in to join your team! I know you have heard the saying that "actions speak louder than words". They also speak louder than goals written on a piece of paper!
So what exactly is holding you back? Fear? The only way to get out of that fear is to take steps to face it. That will be a lot easier to do if you realize that the "no's" that you receive is not a personal reflection on you. It simply means that they are not interested in what you are offering. And it may not even be a permanent "no". It may simply mean "not right now". Some of these "no's" may actually call you later and ask for more details.
What else is your "ball and chain"? Time? Maybe you work a full time job and have small children at home. Picture this concept: If you keep doing exactly what you are doing right now for the next 10 years, then 10 years from now, you will still be exactly where you are today. Is this your goal?
You say you want a change. That is great! But the only way that a change will take affect is through a different "ACTION". You can't set a goal and say you want something and expect to reach that goal without the action required to get you there.
So get up, grab your list of goals and take action! People who think they have no time at all to build their own business are the people who are desperately in need of it! If you put in a few extra hours now, you will have years of extra time in the future to do the things you WANT to do instead of what someone tells you that you "MUST" do!

This Is Why A Different Size Fits You At Every Single Clothing Store
There's an adage tossed around by sorority girls who own Audrey Hepburn posters and plus-size lingerie campaigns that Marilyn Monroe, bombshell extraordinaire, was actually a size 12. Like most things that sound too good to be true, it's unfortunately a load of crap.
A new video from Vox, the site best-known for its "explainer" articles breaking down complicated subjects into easy-to-understand, factual kernels, tackles the women's clothing industry. Boy, is it a whopper.
Clothing sizes may have started with the measurements of enlisted men who just needed uniforms that fit well enough, but manufacturers had a much more complicated situation when it came to women. The male body is basically the same circumference wherever you measure, from the chest on down, but women have breasts, hips and a whole bunch of other curves Beyoncé has written songs about. That's where things get complicated.
Over time, manufacturers have found customers are more likely to buy (and not return) items with smaller numbers written on their tags, leading to a phenomenon called "vanity sizing." Your size 4 dress and size 8 jeans are lying to you, essentially — particularly if you're shopping in a store that tweaks sizes to better fit its demographic. That's why you'll always be a smaller size in an Old Navy dress than one from Topshop. Miss Marilyn might have been a midcentury size 12, but today's equivalent is closer to a 4 or 6. Darn it.
At least now, when you're trapped in the sickly, recycled air of a Zara while squeezing into a pair of jeans threatening to pop, you'll know how this whole tragedy came about.

BEND, Ore. (AP) - A farmer near Bend shot and killed a cougar earlier after it killed two Shetland sheep and a turkey on his property.
The Bulletin reported Thursday that Mark Davidson found the dead sheep Monday hidden under sticks and pine needles in a pasture closest to his house. He spotted the dead turkey near a barn.
Later Monday, Candy Davidson let their dog outside and checked on the sheep. Her flashlight caught glowing eyes and she ran inside to tell her husband, who shot the cougar with a .22-caliber rifle.
The couple as required by law later contacted the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Assistant district wildlife biologist Randy Lewis responded and determined the cougar was a healthy 3-year-old male.
State law says a landowner in Oregon is allowed to kill a cougar if it is causing damage to their property.

Sepia Saturday 72 : 30 April 2011
I hope everyone has survived the big wedding, if you were invited, or for the rest of us that are survivors of it's discussion (everywhere) wishing for life to be normal without any wedding bliss updates please follow along with me!
My post this week involves Alan's theme (sort of) although, how do you follow an alarm clock with a fragment of a German shell lodged inside of it? The main keyword is really, "time" followed by wars and or weddings, imagine that!
If you too want to follow along in time from way back when go here http://sepiasaturday.blogspot.com/2011/04/sepia-saturday-72-30-april-2011.html
On the subject of time and royalty.....I think time really stands out like a sore thumb from this photo taken for "The Plain Truth - a magazine of understanding " ( I discovered this complete copy within my grandmother's scrapbook treasures) and this publication was printed by the Ambassador College, Pasadena, CA. and it's founder then, Herbert W. Armstrong and it was published in July 1981 around the time of that all important wedding for Prince Charles.....
My how TIME really stands out in this photo wouldn't you agree?
Now that we've imagined time....... and a brief touch on war.....we close with.... "The, or rather A Wedding..... One very important thing that you will witness through photography of long ago....is their continued use of demonstrating within their photographs the importance of that photograph. I always find it so rewarding within the Minnesota History Center and the endless hours of scanning through their unbelievable supply of all things past.

Karen I know zip about MN grasshoppers invasion, was that during the Dust Bowl era and the plagues that descended through Kansas and Nebraska, 1930's? I admit I do not like Prince Charles at all because of his cruel treatment of Diana; he was not man enough to stick with Camilla if that's whom he wanted. I hope Queen Elizabeth outlives him as she could very well and he never becomes king. I would like to see William as King tho'.

Locusts. Locusts and quicksand. Locusts, quicksand, and piranhas. Those were such standards on tv shows in the 1950s that I figured for sure I'd be subjected to at least one of them in my life. Now here I'd forgotten all about them until your post.
And royal weddings. I've lost count as to how many have happened in my life. But I do recall when Charles was supposed to be the most eligible bachelor in the world. No pressure on the guy, none at all.

The Round Robin ensemble is available for weddings
and other special events and celebrations, for example, art openings,
family milestones, parties and fundraisers.
Each wedding or special celebration is a unique event and we take
the time with you and your wedding planner, officiate, or event
coordinator to meet your specific musical needs and ensure that
the music runs smoothly throughout the celebration. If you wish,
you can rely on our experience to select the most appropriate music
for your special event. We are happy to incorporate other professional
musicians as well as your friends or family members who wish to
perform during the wedding ceremony, including singers, organists,
pianists, instrumentalists, etc., and coordinate the music with
them directly to free you to concentrate on other details.
Depending on the type of event, the music can be in the background
to set the mood, or up front in a concert setting.
We use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure the perfect balance
of sound for a large or small gathering, indoors or outside, in
a traditional setting or an out–of–the way location.
We can play acoustically or enhance the sound with a small battery-powered
amp that is never overpowering. For large venues, we can provide
a full PA system.
For all events, we arrive early to ensure a relaxed and joyful
experience and to accommodate any changes, for instance, a change
of location due to weather or adjustments to the order of events.
We love music and performing, and take pleasure in contributing
to each unique celebration.

Race Recap: Hip Hop 10k
This morning it was over to Easton, Massachusetts to take part in the Hip Hop 10k. This race is a Family Friendly 5K/10K run and 2 mile walk in support of Hip Dysplasia awareness and fundraising. The 10k race kicked off at 9AM which was a nice relief given the humidity at that time was pretty bad and going later into the day has already made it even more sticky. When crossing the finish line I was sweating more than an Ashley Madison account holder!
The 10k race course was a nice challenging run with some rather significant hills mixed into the route. Volunteers did an excellent job directing runners on the course and alerting traffic as to our presence. The much needed water stations on the course provided good relief and were mixed into the race at good times. The course takes runners through rather residential neighborhoods and started and finished at Oliver Ames High School in Easton. A lot of the course was quite similar to the Tiger Turkey Chase I have taken raced in the past.
As you are in the final mile there is a nice uphill climb that really pushes you not slow down before runners intersect with the 5k course and head back toward the high school for the finish line. While coming into the finish there was a band playing some great cover songs and plenty of spectators cheering you into the finish. The race directors did a really nice job organizing the race and there was plenty of water and food to partake in prior to leaving. Several raffles with some big prizes were available inside the cafeteria of the school and vendors setup at the finish line offered samples, massage, chiropractic and more.
I finished the Hip Hop 10k with a time of 51:16 good for a finish pace of 8:15/mile. With the humidity in full effect coupled with some tough quad pain I inflicted upon myself earlier this week playing indoor soccer a good showing at today's run.
For more information about the work the Hip Hop 10k supports, check out their website here and be sure to "Like" the race on Facebook so you can plan on running this race next year.

Double Racing at the Harvard Pilgrim Finish at the Fifty
On Friday evening it was off to the home of your New England Patriots for a race at Gillette Stadium known as the Harvard Pilgrim Finish at the Fifty. Last year the race night was absolutely stifling so this year temperatures in the 80's made for ideal running conditions.
There is both a 5K and 10K option for this race with the 10K kicking off at 7PM while the 5K starts at 6PM. My running pals were tackling the 5K and I had signed up for the 10K but when one of them came down with some knee pain I decided to run both races in their honor.
The 5K takes runners on a quick loop of Gillette Stadium before heading back into the stadium to tackle the ramps all the way to the top tier of the stadium. Consider the run a sort of hill workout on steroids with a sea of running friends hitting the ramps along with you. A double edged sword of sorts runs through the mind as you make your way up one set of ramps as you know you will quickly be descending another set from the nosebleed section of the stadium onto the field. The 5K finishes right at the fifty yard line and New England Patriot star Nate Soldier was present high-fiving runners into the finish line.
I finished the 5K with a time of 24:44, good for 7:58/miles. Not too shabby for a course inclusive of climbing all those flights!
Having finished up the 5K, it was then time to make my way back to the starting line for the kickoff (see what I did there) of the 10K race. The 10K race features a much different course and leaves out the ramp ascents and descents and takes runners onto Route 1 briefly before then winding through mostly residential streets. Given the race is the Fourth of July weekend, neighbors use the course as a way to have little parties and cheer on runners and the support along the way mixed with the Americana feel really is perfect. After going through residential neighborhoods behind the stadium, runners then turn back into the stadium grounds on the Putnam Investments road and runners make a quick pass through the backside of the stadium before then finishing at the fifty yard line. Pat the Patriot is available for photos and runners can see themselves finishing the race on the Jumbotrons.
I finished the 10K with a time of 54:22, good for 8:45/miles. Knowing holiday cookouts were in the near future, running 9.3 miles the night before the 4th seemed like a good idea and I'm glad I did both races.
Post-race, a magnificent firework display took place and while we dined and refueled at CBS Scene's patio we had a great view of the fireworks. A great night of running, food, drink, America and most importantly laughter with friends. This might become an annual tradition!
Registration Now Open for the Keep Springfield Beautiful 10K
Registration is now open for the Keep Springfield Beautiful 10K! The race takes place on Mother's Day in downtown Springfield, Massachusetts and supports the efforts of Keep Springfield Beautiful which is a non-profit organization that promotes litter and graffiti prevention, recycling, conservation and beautification of Springfield.
The 10K run starts and ends at the south parking lot of the Basketball Hall of Fame. Shortly after the start there is a gradual uphill, then past the Olmsted designed Forest Park. There is a slight downhill / uphill past the 19th century industrial mill at Watershops Pond. Turn left at historic Springfield Armory and proceed downhill at 9K past the Federal Courthouse.
There is also a 3K walk for those who are interested in supporting the event but would prefer to walk rather than run. The walk leaves from the Hall of Fame and proceeds on the RailTrail along the Connecticut River.

Join The Running Griffin in Holyoke, Massachusetts
Like the swallows returning to Capistrano, those who have any connection to Western Massachusetts head back to Holyoke, Massachusetts for the annual St. Patrick's Day Road Race. This annual race features a challenging 10k course that is jam packed with fans cheering runners through the Paper City and sharing in some good Irish craic along the way. The race is an iconic race that features elite runners taking to the streets for the prize money and casual runners running their once-a-year road race.
The Holyoke St. Patrick's Road Race is excited to announce that Bill Rodgers will run in this year's 40th Anniversary road race, marking his first return visit to the race since 1978. Rodgers, who won Holyoke for three consecutive years in 1976-1978, also is a four-time Boston Marathon winner and four-time New York Marathon winner. Rodgers will be in the registration tent from 4-6 pm on Friday, March 20, and also post-race on Saturday, March 21, for pictures and autographs. His visit is being sponsored by ES Sports and PeoplesBank.

Register Today for Pam's Run
The Running Griffin will once again be participating in Pam's Run which will be held in Wayland, Massachusetts on Saturday, October 18th and I hope to see you there! This run features both a 5K and 10K option and has racers run through a remarkably scenic residential section of Wayland.
Pam's Run raises funds for The Neighbor Brigade. Neighbor Brigade establishes and mobilizes networks of community-specific volunteers ready to help immediately and effectively when a crisis strikes due to illness, surgery, or tragedy. Services are currently available in 35 communities in eastern Massachusetts.
Pam's Run is dedicated to the memory and legacy of Pam Manikas Washek, founder of Neighbor Brigade and a tireless champion for families facing sudden crisis. She founded Neighbor Brigade to help those in crisis manage both emergency and routine needs, with services provided by fellow community members.
Last year I ran the 5 mile option at Pam's Run and the race recap can be found here. To register for this year's race, please click here.

There are three key arguments about the economics of climate change that I believe must be crucial to our national vision of the future. First, we must get off the oil hook – and onto clean, green growth. The science demands it. Our survival requires it. And our living standards will benefit from it.
Second, this low-carbon revolution can offset fiscal tightening and turbo-charge jobs. It is a large part of the answer to the question of where the jobs and growth are coming from.
And third, our economy will be more stable and secure as energy imports wane. Every business will benefit from moderating boom and bust.
Together, these arguments make up the case for "green growth": investment in the infrastructure, industries and technologies that can change our economic future for the better.
A low-carbon economy presents an opportunity, not a cost. Investment in our clean energy future should not be mistaken for a cost to the economy, or the public purse. Instead, as Lord Stern has shown, it can be strong driver of economic growth – boosting demand, and creating new supply in a sustainable way.
Globally, the low-carbon goods and services industry is worth £3.2 trillion, and employs 28 million people. It is growing by 4 per cent a year, faster than developed world GDP, and will accelerate. It is also a sector driven by relentless innovation. Between 1999-2008, patents for renewable energy increased by 24 per cent each year. Electric and hybrid vehicles were up 20 per cent. Energy efficiency up 11 per cent. Nearly 2,000 clean energy patents were filed in the United States last year, nearly treble the previous year.
Private finance is already rushing in. In the first half of 2010, green technologies accounted for a quarter of all US venture capital investments. Globally, investment in renewables now outstrips investment in fossil fuels. This extra inward investment brings jobs and sets the conditions for growth. It also drives learning-by-doing: making companies and economies more productive.
The second reason to choose the low-carbon path is self-evident: it is more resource efficient. It uses less energy and fewer resources per unit of GDP. A survey of 300 top executives from large global corporations found more than three quarters of respondents expect their annual clean energy technology spending to rise over the next five years. No wonder 72 per cent of global CEOs actively support policies that promote economically, socially and environmentally sustainable growth. They know that a green economy is also more resource efficient. It saves money, boosts the bottom line, and helps shareholder returns.
There is a third reason to pursue green growth. Businesses hate unpleasant surprises, as the first two oil shocks showed. Green growth can protect our economy – reducing our exposure to price shocks. That is good for every business in the land from corner shop to conglomerate.
After all, dependence on oil for transport and gas for power puts us at the mercy of international markets over which we have no control. We cannot rely on the North Sea. We were once self-sufficient in oil and gas; now we importing 27 per cent of our energy. That vulnerability is projected to double by 2020.
And even home-produced oil and gas exists in a world market. It can still give us a nasty price shock.
The IMF's World Economic Outlook for 2011 devotes an entire chapter to oil scarcity. It notes that "the persistent increase in oil prices over the past decade suggests that global oil markets have entered a period of increased scarcity. Given the expected rapid growth in oil demand in emerging market economies and a downshift in the trend growth of oil supply, a return to abundance is unlikely in the near term."
Those emerging market economies will be ready and willing to compete for scarce resources. In extreme cases, control of and access to hydrocarbons will likely become a matter for militaries, not treasuries.
So what is to be done? We should head off the challenge of price and supply insecurity by getting off the oil hook.
The demand for oil and gas, of course, does not come down easily whatever the price. We cannot simply stop using them overnight. We are committed to car journeys. And locked into fossil fuel using capital equipment.
So protecting ourselves from price shocks is not the work of a day, a week, or a year: we must free our economy from carbon addiction over the long haul.
Some countries already have a head start. Electricity prices in France are set to rise by just 3 per cent this year. Compare and contrast with Britain, where prices are rising by three times as much. It is no surprise that France is the European country with the least reliance on fossil fuels, and enjoys some of the lowest prices – 9.4 per cent below ours.
We have a long way to go. But every long journey begins with a first step.
For us, that means building cleaner power plants, and encouraging the electrification of heating and transport. These are the fundamental components of a strategy that will deliver green growth.
The fourth and final reason to pursue such a strategy is simple: we cannot risk being left behind. Green growth is in our direct national interest. Around the world, governments are responding to the green energy challenge. The race for the future is already under way.

text: Tango, a Yorkshire terrier, has grown up literally in the lap of luxury, complete with sterling-silver collar and pearl-studded leash. But when his mistress's yacht goes down in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, he washes ashore on Prince Edward Island, sans collar and I.D., where he is mistaken for a rat in a lobster trap. There his fortunes become entwined with three other lonely folk: curmudgeonly widow Augusta, on-the-run orphan McKenna and Beau, an aging fox who has taken a protective interest in McKenna. Complicating the fairly predictable can-all-the-lonely-souls-learn-to-trust-each-other-and-find-happiness plot is Tango's naked desire to return home and the presence of a pack of truly vicious cats and an insane, murderous rat. Debut author Beha does a creditable job creating the two societies, human and animal, and mediating Tango's travels between them; she freshens her story with precisely drawn characters—even Malachi the rat emerges fully fleshed. Tango is a winning protagonist, a noble soul in a diminutive body. Although there are few real surprises, readers will enjoy this beguiling, delicately told tale, which has a heart as big as its hero's. (Fantasy. 8-12)

These days millions of men and women decide on the sunshine more than some other purpose to reside abroad. The service of various persons – lifeguards, local police, Red Cross, and so on. can be obtained only all through summer time. While in the final analysis, nevertheless, you'll find just two questions to inquire about dark shades: Do anyone like the design?
You could resource them by entering a look for on Google and I'm guaranteed you'll discover another person within your spot who sells them.
Although the rainy months are commonly not the top for seashore goers, for surfers it is the top time. If some thing will take much too very long or expense also considerably, except you really feel it is actually an important visual distraction, best to leave it alone. Dine at some very good eating places and consider your social gathering into the night at a dance club.
You can also obtain them in beaches, gardens, patios and so on. The fabric of which the sunshine umbrella is built is definitely a topic of apprehension.
Regardless of what you end up picking to brighten your patio, take into account what strength factors you will need. Would you require an umbrella for shade?
Together the seaside are a number of facilities consisting of showers, toilets, changing rooms with handicap ability, sun beds, umbrella, h2o sports, lifeguards, and a lot more.
I like to recommend bringing a big shade umbrella for the pet dog. To receive most shade reap the benefits of your patio or back garden umbrella, you may consider an umbrella that has a tilt element. An 11 foot umbrella is suitable for your 60 inch spherical desk or 72 inch rectangular desk with six to 8 chairs.
Place lights is usually educated to the dwelling lights it up and highlighting it's allure. In reality, if you can keep your cushions from finding rain soaked acquire individuals steps.
Nowadays millions of people decide on the sun above every other purpose to stay abroad. The service of various persons – lifeguards, neighborhood police, Red Cross, and so on. can be found only while in summer months. In the final analysis, nevertheless, you'll find just two questions to inquire about dark shades: Do an individual like the style?

Imperfect Endings: A Daughter's Tale of Life and Death
Unabridged Audiobook
Written By: Zoe Fitzgerald Carter
Narrated By: Karen White
Publisher: Tantor Media
Date: March 2010
Duration: 9 hours 0 minutes
After twenty years of living with terminal illness, Zoe FitzGerald Carter's mother decided to end her life-and asked her three daughters for their assistance. For months, the decision dragged on as her mother changed her methods and schedule, and the negotiations stirred up old memories, sibling rivalries, and questions about family loyalty. Eventually, there was compromise and courage, and Zoe's mother had her happy-if imperfect-ending.
Zoe and her sisters struggled to accept the imminent death of their mother, circling around the same questions: Who will help her? Will they go to jail? Can they bear to let her die alone? With a doctor prescribing lethal doses of sleep medication, a visit from a member of the Hemlock Society's 'Final Exit Network,' and the temptations of overdosing on morphine, the issues and people in Imperfect Endings are at the center of the debate on assisted suicide.
With echoes of bestselling grief memoirs like Elegy for Iris and The Year of Magical Thinking, Carter's memoir is the unforgettable story of a family learning to love and to let go.

I think it's vital to understand that everything's part of the practice.
Even those times when I sway from the Path altogether—that's part of practice as well. It's just like if you focus on the breath and occasionally lose track of it. You realize you've lost it, and then you return to it.
Realizing you've lost the breath is part of focusing on the breath, it's part of meditation. So if you, say, get really wasted one night and have anonymous sex at a sport's bar, that too is part of practice.
These experiences of losing track, of falling off the horse, are maybe the most important parts of practice. They teach us so much more about the nature of things than when we're planted firmly on the Path.
If we accept these moments as part of the Path, we're also getting close to the quick of non-duality, of Oneness. Nothing ever happens in the universe that isn't right that doesn't abide by the way things are.
It isn't that everything happens for a reason, that's a BS platitude. It's that everything happens because it's the very nature of reality for those things to happen. That doesn't have quite the same ring to it though.
There have been many times in my life when I just broke down said, "This isn't fair." Especially when it comes to death. I've known so many amazing people and pets who've met such horrific ends. Each time, it reminds me of the stakes. It shatters all my fairy tales of Supreme Goodness and the supremacy of light over dark.
So saying that everything is right isn't the same as saying everything's good, because some shit is just downright not good… at all. It's saying that good and bad are both wrapped up with the same bow. They're the same thing subjected to different circumstances.
Circumstances change everything; context changes everything. It's fine for me to let rip a huge burp around my friends, but not fine to do the same thing at a wake. That's the essence of duality there, and why things seem to be many when they're really not even one.
But, I digest, life is practice. I've practiced Buddhism in such away that it's stretched into my memories and contextualized my past within it so that I feel I've always been a Buddhist. There isn't one corner of my mind that's immune to Dharma, it's entered into everything.
Even when I stray, the Path is right there, I've never left it. Through all the highs and lows, it's just the Way of said highs and lows. I can't think of anything more beautiful than this.

Makes24 to 30 crackers
- 6 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 cup gluten free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum

- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup very cold water

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cut four tablespoons of the butter into small cubes and place in the freezer while gathering and measuring the rest of the ingredients. Place the remaining butter into a small microwaveable bowl and set aside.
In a food processor, combine the flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, sugar, paprika, and half of the salt. Add the frozen butter cubes and pulse until the mixture is the size of peas. This could also be done in a large bowl using a pastry blender. Add the vegetable oil and pulse, then add the cold water by tablespoons until the mixture just begins to come together. The entire 1/2 cup may not be needed.
Remove the dough, form into a flat disc, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.
Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper and lay another piece of parchment on top, then roll with a rolling pin to 1/8-inch thickness. Put this rolled dough into the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes before proceeding.
Peel off the top sheet of the parchment paper and use a small round cookie cutter (about 1 1/2-inch size) to cut out circles. Lay them on the parchment-lined cookie sheets, leaving a small space between each. Don't worry about spacing because they will not spread as they bake.
Poke a few holes in each circle with the tip of a toothpick and bake about 10 minutes. They will be very lightly browned. The timing will depend on the size of the cookie cutter used.
Melt the reserved butter in the microwave and when the crackers come out of the oven, brush them with the butter and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Did You Know?
These Buttery Ritz Crackers are a fantastic recipe for gluten free crackers. Ritz crackers are such a versatile and yummy snack that they've become a staple in pantries everywhere. First introduced in 1934 by Nabisco, they took the world by storm as the lightest and most buttery cracker. 5 million Ritz crackers were sold in 1935, which equaled at least 40 crackers for every man, woman, and child in the United States. That's a lot of crackers!
As you may have assumed, the crunchy crackers got their name from the Ritz Carlton Hotel. The initials are even the same for the crackers and the hotel (R.C.). Since the cracker gained traction during The Great Depression, enjoying the crackers conjured up images of luxury while being affordable to most Americans at just 19 cents a box.
Also, if you've ever wondered if the holes on the cracker have any significance, the short answer is no, they do not. They are simply poked with holes in order to bake evenly.

What a fabulous idea! I LOVE Ritz crackers, and the idea of making a homemade version sounds ideal!

These look fantastic. I'd love to eat them with some sharp cheddar cheese on top!
Jul 23, 2015
While they weren't crispy or crunchy like I'd expect crackers to be, they were pretty good. They had a warm flavor to them, thanks to the paprika, which I really enjoyed. I had them with a bit of cheese spread on top and it was a pretty good snack.
Jul 23, 2015
These were tasty and filling, and they had a nice cheesy flavor. They were just a bit too salty for me.
Julia L
Jul 23, 2015
I can definitely taste the paprika and that was actually a nice addition. These crackers were really soft though, so it would be hard to spread anything on them. I would bake them longer to make them more crispy.

Buttery is not the word I would use to describe these, and they don't taste quite like Ritz, but they were good enough. Next time I will roll them out thinner and so that they get crispier in the oven.
Jul 01, 2015
I'm gluten and I even want to try these! They would go wonderfully with a nice cheese or vegetable dip!

Love this recipe! It looks so easy to make.

The SUP day at Reagan Beach at South Lake Tahoe was well attended and we all had a blast. Adrienne, Kelly, Rachael, Kara, Mike, Katie, Denny, Claudia and I received some great instruction in the handling and paddling of the boards from Mike Day of Flatwater Paddle Co. Then we paddled boards supplied by Tahoe Standup Paddle between Reagan Beach and close to the Keys for a couple of hours. The WOD was a .9mi sprint which of course was won by Mike Day. Mike H. and Denny battled behind and the rest of us followed.
I know it's alot of pictures but they tell the story better than I could.
I would like to thank the members who came up and shared the experience, Mike Day for taking the time to instruct us noobies on how to get around more efficiently and Chris and Jared Brackett for supplying boards for us to use. And of course John Omohundro of Aviso for introducing me to the sport. All of these individual's passion for the sport has been contagiuos which is most admirable.

Virgin's David Addison on the role of carbon sequestration technology
Emissions reduction and clean energy are often the only technologies that are talked about when it comes to reducing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. David Addison, manager of the Virgin Earth Challenge, wants to bring carbon removal technologies into the conversation.
Addison talked with GreenBiz's Joel Makower in a Studio C interview during VERGE 2014 to talk about the Virgin Earth Challenge — a sort of X Prize for carbon sequestration technology. The $25 million prize will be awarded to the makers of a technology that meets five key requirements: proven science and engineering; demonstrable operation in lab and real world environments; greenhouse gas removal that scales and demonstrates longevity over the full technology lifecycle; a clear positive result without negative social or environmental impacts; and economic feasibility.
"It's interesting how often in the wider discourse, this area doesn't really get talked about," Addison said. "If it does, it gets talked about as a get-out-of-jail free card or a sort of magic bullet."
Addison maintained that carbon sequestration isn't a total solution, but should play a part in an overall carbon reduction portfolio. "I think fundamentally, you can have truly cyclical, circular or renewable energy systems of the future," Addison said. "The same with agricultural systems that aren't just low-carbon or carbon-neutral, but over the long term, net carbon-negative."

Leafy Greens - General
The most commonly found leafy greens in grocery stores are lettuce, kale, chard, collards, spinach, beat greens, carrot tops, cilantro, dandelion greens, and parsley. Many greens such as nettles, lambsquarters, and dandelions, can be found growing wild all over North America. Wild greens have higher mineral content than even organically farmed greens.
Green leafy vegetables, when eaten raw, are some of the best plant-based sources of amino acids, the building blocks of protein. They are easiest to digest and assimilate when well blended, juiced, or thoroughly chewed. Green smoothies are an increasingly popular way to get high quantities of greens into the diet on a daily basis.
It is important to rotate your greens. Eating one type of raw greens for an extended period of time can cause the build up of toxins in the body. Also, since each type of leafy green vegetable is high in different essential amino acids, eating a wide variety will ensure that your body is getting all the amino acids it needs to build protein.
Check out Victoria Boutenko's Green for Life, for an excellent discussion on the importance of greens in the human diet.
Health Benefits
|Body Odor
|Blended or chewed well, leafy greens cleanse the system of toxins that cause body odor.
|The combination of calcium and magnesium they contain make all leafy greens an important component of bone health and maintenance.
|Digestion - General
|When eaten raw, leafy greens stimulate digestion and digestive enzymes.
|Reverse greying of hair. Should be well blended to assimilate available nutrients.
|Hormone Balance
|Provide a wide variety of nutrients necessary to maintain proper hormone balance.
|Immune System - General
|Provide essential nutrients to the endocrine system and make the body more alkaline, thereby strengthening immunity.
|Sleep Cycle
|Most provide tryptophan which aids in sleep. They make a light, low-fat meal, which allows for a peaceful night's rest.
|All green plants, but especially the leaves, are major sources of chlorophyll.
|Magnesium is a component of the chlorophyll molecule and is necessary for the absorption of calcium.
|Protein/Amino Acids
|Provide all essential amino acids, particularly when a variety of greens are eaten. Best when eaten raw and well blended in a green smoothie.

"Are we doing this or not?"
There is a story about the making of Steven Spielberg's "Jaws" which is something of an interesting tale about the kind of stress and strangeness that goes along with the filmmaking process. As actor Richard Dreyfuss had finished his part, the production had already been through several obstacles, one of which was the electronic model of the shark not working. Stressed and eager to go home, he took the plane home only to find the familiar face of Spielberg sitting only a few seats from him. When the actor asked the director why he was leaving the crew, Spielberg apparently told him he simply had enough and thought the rest of the filming would work just fine without him.
Although an anecdote such as this may be exaggerated at times, and in retrospect highlight or even romanticize the production of a film, in reality the process takes its toll on those involved, something which audiences do not see in the finished product and in the often glossy extra features put on physical media.
However, it is exactly this kind of process which is at the core of Shûichi Okita's "The Woodsman and the Rain". The director whose features such as "A Story of Yonnosuke" or "Mori, The Artist's Habitat" have repeatedly presented the repercussions of events or people on the lives of others as well as discussed the role of the artist within society.
Buy This Title
In a small mountain village, Katsuhiko (Kôji Yakusho) lives a quiet, but often lonely life. After his wife's death nearly two years ago, his life had become a routine for him divided between his work as a woodsman and regular arguments with his son Koichi (Kengo Kôra) about his future. However, this routine changes as a film crew arrives in the village to shoot a zombie movie written by Koichi (Shun Oguri), who is also the director.
By chance, Katsuhiko becomes involved in the production, first as a location scout and later on as an extra. He quickly notices the young director is overwhelmed with the task at hand, is unable to give direction and make decisions resulting in his cast and crew being frustrated, as well as the project being behind schedule. Even though Koichi tries his best to avoid the company of the outspoken Katsuhiko, the two men eventually find a liking to each other. And while the woodsman finds himself enjoying the busy filming process, the young director regains his confidence in the project.
In general, "The Woodsman and the Rain" can be summed up as a story about regaining one's voice. The two central characters suffer from their voice having disappeared, leading to a loss of confidence (Koichi) and an emotional distance to others, for example, in the relationship of Katsuhiko and his son. The images of Yuta Tsukinaga nearly always emphasize this growing gap between people, as their dialogues either take place over a certain distance or in oddly switched roles, for example, when Katsuhiko sits in the directing chair while Koichi sits just a few meters beside him on the ground. While this always leads to some humorous scenes, these images are often quite telling, especially as both never seem to care to take over the role they are supposed to. In another scene about the failure of taking over a role, Katsuhiko nearly ruins the rehearsal of a scene in Koichi's film, because he does not understand the concept of being a zombie.
Nevertheless, this is linked to the overall sense of missing communication between the characters. In a highly amusing segment, Okita seems to be making fun of the sometimes artsy and complicated way of expressing ideas. Instead of simply explaining the concept of a zombie, an assistant talks about creating "ambiguity" while Katsuhiko listens patiently, even though his expressions indicate he does not understand a single word. At other times, we see Koichi bombarded with an array of questions from his cinematographer, his cast and other members of the crew until he eventually breaks down burying both hands even deeper in the pockets of his hoodie.
Overall, Okita's film shows a well-timed approach to comedy and individual drama. Despite their oddities, neither Katsuhiko nor Koichi are portrayed as caricatures, but rather as individuals who have at one point decided not to take part in life any longer. Kôji Yakusho's and Shun Oguri's performances highlight the kind of dilemma of men eventually forced to clearly express their views, take responsibility and take over a role they have either neglected or not yet defined for themselves. Interestingly, Okita mirrors this kind of development on a much wider scale, as the whole village in the end becomes involved in the making of the film, leading to the image of pedestrians, students, conductors and housewives leaving on their zombie make-up as they go about their daily lives.
"The Woodsman and the Rain" is an entertaining, humorous film, supported by a great cast and cinematography. Though a bit too long for its own good, the characters and their dialogues will certainly make this into a wonderfully odd viewing experience about taking over a role in your life. Because in the end, there is not question about whether you want to do something, you eventually have to. And sometimes this means talking to your family, communicating with your crew or walking in a river like a zombie.

There are so many celebrities in Hollywood, and yet, we think we know all about their love lives. But we don't! In fact, there are many celebrities whose early love life remains a mystery to us. Luckily for you, we brought you this list of 22 stars you never knew dated each other when they we not so famous, or not even famous at all. Wait until you see #20, #14, #6 and #1!
#22. Matthew Morrison & Kristen Bell

Before Bell became Veronica Mars and the voice of Gossip Girl, and Morrison made a name for himself on Broadway and on Glee, the pair briefly dated when they were students at New York University.
#21. William H. Macy & Felicity Huffman
Photo: Courtesy of Getty Images/Jeff Kravitz
Before they got married on September 6, 1997, the pair dated on-and-off for 15 years! They met in the early 1980s at New York City's Atlantic Theater Company. Huffman says it was love at first sight, and according to her, she and the Shameless actor bonded over their love for acting.
#20. Michael Keaton and Courteney Cox
Photo: Courtesy of Getty Images/Jim Smeal
During the early-to-mid 80s, Michael Keaton began dating Courteney Cox. You may now know her as Monica Geller, from Friends, but at the time, she was an unknown aspiring actress. They were together for six years before splitting up, in 1995.
#19. David Gallagher and Megan Fox
Photo: Courtesy of Getty Images/Jim Spellman
The young lovers were inseparable during 2003, the year they dated. He was the teen heartthrob from 7th Heaven and she had two film roles to her name, including the 2001 Olsen twins film Holiday in the Sun.
#18. George Clooney & Kelly Preston
Photo: Courtesy of Getty Images/Jim Smeal
We may say that the '80s were a time for future A-Listers to date each other. George Clooney and Kelly Preston dated from 1987 to 1989, and even lived together with Clooney's pet pig Max! The pair broke up, and they eventually found happiness with their respective spouses (Amal Clooney and John Travolta).
#17. Zooey Deschanel and Jason Schwartzman
Photo: Courtesy of Getty Images/J. Vespa
This was Deschanel's first real relationship. They were both 19 years old, and dated before her breakout role in Almost Famous and right after Schwartzman's role in Rushmore. The couple broke up in 2005.
#16. Reese Witherspoon and Chris O'Donnell
Photo: Courtesy of Getty Images/Ron Galella, LTD
They both may be big stars now, but when these two stared to date, they were just two kids trying to make it big in Tinsel Town. When the couple got together, Witherspoon was only 16 years old, and O'Donnell had just landed his breakout appearances in School Ties and Scent of a Woman.
#15. Angela Bassett and Courtney B. Vance
Photo: Courtesy of Getty Images/Steve Granitz
Before getting romantically together, the American Horror Story star and Vance met in the masters' program at the Yale School of Drama in the '80s, and were friends for years. The couple got married in 1997 and welcomed twins in 2006. Basset told People that he was dating another girl when they studied together. Some years later, they run into each other, they were both single, and the rest is (a love hi)story…
#14. Liam Neeson and Helen Mirren
Photo: Courtesy of Getty Images/Matt Crossick – PA Images
Shocker, right? After meeting on the set of Excalibur, in 1981, the Taken actor and the Oscar-winner actress dated for whole five years.
#13. Busy Philipps & Colin Hanks
Photo: Courtesy of Getty Images/Sgranitz
Before they were famous, the pair attended Loyola Marymount University. Even though they are no longer together, they remain good friends. They are so close, that they go on family vacations together! The couple dated for a long time and they were still together when they landed their first roles.
#12. Minka Kelly & Donald Faison
Photo: Courtesy of Getty Images/Frank Micelotta
Donald Fison was already a star, thanks to Scrubs. Minka Kelly, however, was just taking her first steps into acting. The two of them were never shy about being seen together in public.
#11. Justin Timberlake & Fergie
Photo: Courtesy of Getty Images/J. Shearer
The singers used to be a thing before NSYNC and The Black Eyed Peas were famous in the music industry. Fergie was 23, and Justin was 16 at the time. While after their short affair, Justin began dating Britney Spears, and ended up marrying Jesical Biel (another member of our list!), Fergie started a family with Josh Duhamel.
#10. Keira Knightley & Jamie Dornan
Photo: Courtesy of Getty Images/Evan Agostini
When Keyra Knightley was known for roles in Star Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace and Bend It Like Beckham, and far from the mega star she is today, she used to date Jamie Dornan, who at the time was a Calvin Klein model. After dating for two years, the couple broke up in 2005, a year before Dornan first film credit.
#9. Ashton Kutcher and January Jones
Photo: Courtesy of Getty Images/Jim Smeal
Before landing several roles on both the small and the big screen, Kutcher and Jones dated from 1998 to 2001. According to her, the actor was not very supportive of her acting career, and didn't think that Jones would be good at it. Ouch!
#8. Jessica Biel & Chris Evans
Photo: Courtesy of Getty Images/Steve Granitz
When the pair used to date, their relationship had many ups and downs. In fact, they dated on-and-off for four years. Even though Biel's career had already taken off and Evans had several parts in mini-series and TV movies, it is safe to say that these two have come very far since they used to date.
#7. Juliette Lewis & Brad Pitt
Photo: Courtesy of Getty Images/Barry King
When he was 26, and before he broke out in Thelma and Louise, Brad Pitt used to date his 17-year-old Too Young to Die? costar Juliette Lewis. Despite the age difference, their relationship lasted for years. When asked about their relationship in 2010, Lewis told The Daily Mail:
"It amazes me that people are still fascinated that we went out for four years. I was a teenager at the time. It's a lifetime away. I was in my high-school years and it was a wonderful, loving relationship with a fun, smart guy. Then it was over and he went on to become incredibly famous."
#6. Lisa Kudrow & Conan O'Brien
Photo: Courtesy of Giphy
The two comedians met in an improv comedy class and hit it off right away. Their relationship didn't work out, though, and they decided that they would be better off as friends. We have to thank Conan for being a good friend to Lisa, as he encouraged her to keep on going when the actress felt too embarrassed to continue in her improv class.
#5. Carey Mulligan & Marcus Mumford
Photo: Courtesy of Getty Images/James Devaney
The couple's adorable love story dates back to their childhood, when they used to be pen pals. Many years later, in 2011, Mulligan and Mumford reconnected at a party in Nashville. How does the story end? With a happy ending! The couple got married in 2012, and had to children: a daughter, and a son.
#4. Jon Hamm & Jennifer Westfeldt
Photo: Courtesy of Getty Images/Ben Gabbe
Before Mad Men launched Hamm's career into stardom and before Westfeldt co-wrote and starred in Kissing Jessica Stein, they were together for almost twenty years. The pair dated from 1997 to 2005.
#3. Robin Thicke & Paula Patton
Photo: Courtesy of Getty Images/Frederick M. Brown
The couple began their love story when they were only 15 years old, and remained together when both of their careers exploded. Sadly, their relationship ended in 2014, after 21 years together.
#2. Scarlett Johansson & Jack Antonoff
Photo: Courtesy of Getty Images/Evan Agostini
The now hit music producer and the ultra-famous actress dated for two years while attending the Professional Children's School in New York City. Can you believe they even went to prom together? However, according to a school pal, Jack was absolutely obsessed and Scarlet didn't reciprocate. The actress broke his heart, and the couple broke up shortly after graduation.
#1. Neil Patrick Harris & Christine Taylor
Photo: Courtesy of Getty Images
The How I Met Your Mother star may be openly gay and happily married to David Burka now, but before that, he dated actress Christine Taylor, for a short period of time, back in 1997.
