Even with playgrounds in Alverdiscott EX39 4 which are used heavily, the bonded mulch flooring is resistant against destruction and wear. Rubber mulch helps improve playground safety for kids of every age group https://www.bonded-rubber-mulch.co.uk/application/playground/devon/alverdiscott/
The mulch is often put down to relieve shock from falls when using play equipment and features. This also produces an attractive and decorative option for community parks and pathways.
For customers trying to develop a flexible public pathway surface, the bonded bark specification is excellent. Many outdoor spaces such as golf courses also get this particular flooring put down so people can easily walk across the facility.
Frequent brushing should be sufficient to help keep the floor specification free of grime and litter. You can then stop contaminations from getting into the flooring because this might block the pores and lead to floods. We recommend keeping your surfacing as fresh as you can to be sure it is safe all the time.

Small children may possibly pick up rubber mulch that has become loosened, which sometimes leads to many more problems for the flooring; in such cases, you must get mulch surface maintenance.
The main difference between Wet Pour and Bonded Rubber Mulch playground surfaces is that the latter can be mounted directly on existing surfaces, making it a more cost-effective playground surface.
Rubber mulch has another big advantage when it comes to compacting and displacement: it hardly ever compacts. It's also denser than wood mulch, so it's less likely to blow or wash away in inclement weather. Rubber mulch does not necessarily maintain moisture in terms of drainage; however, proper drainage under the play area must be ensured.
What makes Bonded Rubber Mulch such an excellent option? Rubber bark and a binder are combined in Bonded Rubber Mulch (resin). This creates a single, smooth protection surface and allows you to customise the height and appearance of the mulch.
Please get in touch with our team today if you would like a quote to install rubber mulch for a playground or path.
The costs will vary depending on the chosen area size and design that is required, but we can offer prices to suit your budget.

Drawing on Dogen's teaching, Zoketsu describes zazen as the essence of Zen practice, beyond just the practice of sitting, discussing Dogen's promise of zazen as the manifestation of the ultimate reality.
Dogen's Bendowa (Part 3 of 3)
Zazen as the essence of Zen practice
By Zoketsu Norman Fischer | May 6, 2001
Abridged and edited by Ryusen Barbara Byrum
So I would like to continue and finish reading through the Bendowa with you. The tenth question is an involved and complicated question, but what it amounts to is that the questioner is quoting an old Zen master, who says that the body is temporary but the mind is permanent. "Isn't that the teaching of Buddha? Isn't that the way we should understand?" he asks. But Dogen says that is not the way you should understand. He says,
You should know that in buddha-dharma it is always being said that body and mind are not separate, nature and characteristics are not two. [Like some essential nature, and then characteristics on top of that. There is only one reality: mind/body, birth/death.] In fact, the teaching about permanence says that all things are permanent, without dividing body and mind. The teaching about cessation says that all things cease, without separating nature and characteristics.
So, actually, there is a teaching in Buddhism about permanence – it's just that there is nothing outside of that permanence. In other words, permanence and impermanence are seen to be two sides of the same coin. When we think of something that is permanent, we might also think of something that is changing and not permanent. For example, God is permanent, soul is permanent, but body is impermanent, and world is impermanent. The permanence of impermanence – the permanence that leaves nothing out – exists in dharma.
How can you say body perishes but mind is permanent? Is it not against the authentic principle? Nirvana is not explained outside of birth and death.
If you think that something is permanent and something is not permanent, then you think nirvana is something beyond birth and death. Nirvana is right here and now, within the impermanent suffering.
Even if you understand that mind is permanent apart from the body, and mistakenly assume that the Buddha's wisdom is separate from birth-and-death, this mind of understanding or recognizing still arises and perishes and is not permanent. Is it not ephemeral?
You should know that the so-called "dharma gate of the whole realityof mind-nature" in buddha-dharma includes the entire phenomenal world without dividing nature from characteristics or birth and death.
It's a mistake to think that that birth and life is something, and death is something else. It's odd to say, but that's the way we look at it: life is temporary, but death is permanent. Death is an eternal condition, but life is something ephemeral. That's not the way to look at it. Death and life are completely bound up together. There isn't any separating them. It is one reality.
All things and all phenomena are just one mind – nothing is excluded or unrelated.
I thought that was an interesting point. Body-mind is one thing. Actually, when we sit, we sit with the body. We're mostly paying attention to the body, right? The breath and the posture of the body are actually the best way to work on the mind. That's the best way to soften and evoke the power and potential of the mind, because the mind and body are not two different things. There is no mind floating in the sky, without body.
What is the body? We think the body as this discrete package in which we are somehow contained. But if you sit closely enough, paying attention to the body, you see that you can't find the body anywhere. There's a sensation, a feeling, a pain, pleasure; yes, it's coming and going, but where is that? That's taking place in the mind. So actually there isn't any body without the mind, and there isn't any mind without the body. There isn't any body that is discrete and separate from phenomena arising. The world is one reality. Life and death – one reality. If we want to live, we have to be ready to die. If we want to face death, we have to know how to live.
Moving on to other subjects. I thought this would be an interesting question for us. It is a very important passage to our practice.
Should zazen be practiced by lay men and women? Or should it be practiced by home-leavers alone?
Home-leavers means monks. And then Dogen replies:
The ancestors say, "In understanding buddha-dharma, men and women, noble and common people, are not to be distinguished."
And then the questioner follows up and says:
Home-leavers are free from various involvements and do not have hindrances in zazen in pursuit of the way. How can the laity, who are variously occupied, practice single-mindedly and accord with buddha-dharma which is unconstructed?
Surely this is not possible. We often think, "I am so busy, and so much is going on. I'm struggling to practice a little bit, but compared to these other guys, they're really doing it. They are really able to do it, but we, because of the difficulties of our situation, can't seem to get out of here, so we're stuck. We're doing our best here, but can we really do it?" Dogen answers,
Buddha ancestors, out of their kindness, have opened the wide gate of compassion in order to let all sentient beings enter into realization. Who among humans and heavenly beings cannot enter? If you investigate olden times, the examples are many.
And then he lists a number of examples – emperors and ministers, who carried out their duties faithfully in the world and also realized the way of the buddha ancestors.
This just depends on whether you have the willingness or not. It does not matter whether you are a lay person or home-leaver.
He says it does not matter one bit whether you are a home-leaver or a lay person. It's just those who come to this practice and do it, regardless of their station. And this is the beautiful part:
Those who regard worldly affairs as a hindrance to buddha-dharma only think that there is no buddha-dharma in the secular world, and do not understand that there is no secular world in the buddha-dharma.
Did you get that? It's a little hard to understand. I had to read this several times this weekend. That's how Dogen writes – switching phrases around, always reversing like that in a funny way. "Those who regard worldly affairs as a hindrance to buddha-dharma only think that there is no buddha-dharma in the secular world." So the world is a mess. There's no holiness in the world. Everybody's going too fast. We say, "I have to go over here to the faraway place to practice where it's peaceful, because there's no place to practice in the world, because it's hopeless. That's why I am running to this far away place, where it's peaceful, and I can practice."
Those who think that way don't "understand that there is no secular world in the buddha-dharma." In other words, there's only buddha-dharma. The secular world that we think is something other than buddha-dharma doesn't actually exist. So we're all living in a monastery. We're all practicing thoroughly as monks, whether we know it or not. Maybe most of the people in the world, of course, don't feel that way at all. Nevertheless, it is also true for them. Because, think about it. Could the truth only be in certain corners of the world? Only over here? The truth of existence is only in Thailand? It makes no sense to think like that. "In Thailand there's the truth, but over here the truth is absent, because of the stock market or something." [Laughter]
The truth of existence – that dharma is always arising in existence – is the dharma. So we have to recognize that when we think we're caught in the midst of the world and the dharma is elsewhere, that what we're really caught in is our own thinking, our own concepts. In reality, whatever you are or think you are doing, is just your cover story. It's just your particular story, your particular description of dharma. It's your particular way of explaining how you practice dharma. In the end, and I think that we have to look at it that way, everything in our lives is the stuff of the way. It's the stuff we need to practice the way. Our problems, our difficulties, our limitations – all the things that we think are preventing us from practicing sufficiently – are actually the stuff that we need. Those are our bells and gongs and robes and whistles for practice. Because there is no world. There is only dharma. There is only the truth of existence – arising, abiding, and passing away – equally manifesting in each one of us, in every place and time, without exception. That's the dharma, the pattern of life. Arising and passing away, everywhere. So whatever our situation is, we have to realize that's what it is. And it really is that. We get caught, knotted up on the surface of things, forgetting that everything is just a manifestation of that one source.
So it really doesn't matter. According to karma, one is a monastic or a home person, according to the situation, according to the circumstances. So there are differences in circumstances, but whatever your circumstances are, you use those circumstances as your world of buddha-dharma.
Recently, there was a high official of Great Song [dynasty in China], Minister Feng, who was advanced in the ancestors' way. He once wrote a poem concerning himself: "I enjoy zazen between my official duties, and seldom sleep lying on a bed. [Staying up all night doing zazen.] Although I appear to be a minister, I'm known as a Buddhist elder throughout the country."
See, cover story. "I look like a minister, I know, but I'm not. I'm not a minister. I'm really a Buddhist elder. I take care of my official duties, but I'm always doing zazen." Now, I think it's okay to sleep a little bit too. But that's what he said. Maybe he was exaggerating. I don't know.
Although he was busy in his official duties, he attained the way because he had a deep intention towards the buddha way. Considering someone like him, you should reflect on yourself and illuminate the present with the past. [Be inspired by his example and let it shine into your life.]
Then someone asks,
In buddha-dharma, if you comprehend the meaning of "Mind itself is buddha" [which is true], that will be sufficient without chanting of sutras or practicing the buddha way. To know that buddha-dharma originally lies in the self is the completion of attaining the way. Other than this, you need not seek from anyone else. Why should you be troubled with practicing zazen and pursuing the way?
Good question! Dogen says,
This statement is entirely groundless. If what you say is true, then everyone who has a mind would immediately understand the meaning of buddha-dharma. You should know that buddha-dharma is to be studied by giving up the view of self and other.
Now let me illuminate this explanation with an excellent case of an old master:
Once a monk called director Xuanze was in the assembly of Zen master Fayan.
Fayan asked him,"DirectorXuanze, howlong have you been in my community?"
Xuanze said, "I have been studying with you for three years."
The master said, "You are a latecomer. Why don't you ask me about buddha-dharma?"
Xuanze said, "I cannot deceive you, sir. When I was studying with Zen master Qingfeng, I mastered the place of ease and joy in buddha-dharma."
In other words, "The reason I haven't asked you anything, teacher, is that I already figured it out, and I didn't mention this to you, but I actually studied for awhile with Zen master so-and-so over there. I'm here, but I really don't need any teaching from you, so thank you very much."
Fayan said, "With what words did you enter this understanding?"
And this is kind of interesting, implying that you enter the understanding with words, which is actually very common in the stories and phrases. Dharma phrases or dharma words are actually used as devices to reach understanding. So this is interesting. You could say there are three things here. One is "no words." The other is "ordinary words" – discursive words based on thinking and logical, accumulated knowledge. And the third is "dharma words" – words that are not words of accumulation of knowledge, but are words that through contemplation we come to understanding. Believe me; some of you have such words in your heart. Maybe you heard once a word in a dharma talk, or maybe you once read a word in a Zen book, or maybe another book that had nothing to do with Zen. The word went deep inside of you and became revolutionary in your life. So he asked, "What words did you experience that you are reporting to me?"
Xuanze said, "When I asked Qingfeng, 'What is the self of a Zen student?' he said, 'The fire god is here to look for fire.'" [That's the phrase that awakened him.]
Fayan said, "That is a good statement. But I'm afraid you did not understand it."
Xuanze said, "The fire god belongs to fire. [And is fire.] So I understood that the fire looks for fire and self looks for self."
In other words, the fire god is searching for fire. It's like the story in the Lotus Sutra, where a man has a jewel sewn inside his clothing, and he is running around everywhere looking for the jewel, but it is inside his clothing, and he doesn't know that. Or like saying, that which we seek in our practice is causing us to look in the first place. We wouldn't be looking for awakening, if it wasn't awakening pushing us to look for it. Right? That's why we're all here. We're here because it's dharma that's got us. That's why we're sitting in our seat here. It's dharma that arose up in us and made us – whether or not we knew that was what it was – it was dharma that brought us here. So, therefore, the fire god, who is already fire, is looking for fire. The self is already the buddha, so it pushes us here.
"So that's what I understood. I had my doubts, but what's wrong with that?" Xuanze is saying. "That's what I understood. Do you have a problem with that?"
The master said, "Indeed you did not understand. If buddha-dharma were like that, it would not have been transmitted untilnow."
In other words, no, no. That explanation is not right. Well, Xuanze was distressed and he left. "I'm getting out of here." This often happens in the stories, you know. It's a very typical thing. He left, and on his way out, going some miles away, hiking on a trail, he thinks to himself:
The master is a renowned teacher in this country, a great leader of five hundred monks. His criticism of my fault might have some point." He went back to Fayan, apologized, and he said, "What is the self of the Zen student?"
Fayan said, "The fire god is here to look for fire." [In other words, the same answer. He tells him exactly the same thing, word for word.]
Upon hearing this statement, Xuanze had a great realization of buddha-dharma.
So, what can we understand from that? Is it a trick? Does he just want to humiliate him or something? I don't think so, and you'll see in a minute, when I read Dogen's short comment on this. Xuanze's understanding in the beginning was fine. He did understand, but the problem was that he thought it was about understanding. He thought it was about understanding something.
Most of what we think is so stupid that we don't think about what we think, because if we do think about what we thought, we would realize how stupid it was, and we would stop thinking it. But mostly we think, "Somewhere, elsewhere, or later, or over there, or within someone else, or just outside my reach – there it is. It's all going to be perfect. It's all going to be right." We think some understanding will dawn on us, but no matter where we are, it is always that far away. When we get to "there," it will also be just that far away. So it's kind of a crazy thought, but we persist in that thought, because it's our habit to feel as if we are looking for something, but something is never sufficient. So what we need to be looking for is nothing.
So understanding is perfectly good. We have to have understanding. It's not that understanding is irrelevant; it's just that understanding is not sufficient. What we really need is nothing. We need letting go of all understanding, and just practice. Just be willing to practice.
Sometimes you find, practically speaking, people in the dharma who have a really good understanding. They pretty much understand everything that you want to understand, and I don't mean just intellectually. But their body and soul and bones haven't settled into the practice. They haven't made the practice the pattern of their lives. So even though they understand perfectly well, it doesn't make that much difference. So what if they understand? Big deal! A lot of people understand a lot of things. Right? You should understand, but that's not enough. You really have to become the practice.
Somebody once said to me, "I've been doing this for so many years, and I think I'll quit. So I'm quitting. But then I realized that I can't quit." And I said, "Why not? You can quit. Why don't you quit?" And they said, "I can't quit. It's become me. I can't quit being myself." Well, that's how it goes.
So this is what we mean. Somebody can have a beautiful understanding of the dharma, and somebody else could have no understanding at all, but that person whose body and mind are immersed in the way is closer to Buddha's heart than the person who understands very well. He can give brilliant lectures, but so what? So what? Dogen says,
In this way, we know that mere understanding of "Self itself is buddha," [Which is a true thing; which is a profound thing. It's not a trivial thing. It is profound.] is not knowing buddha-dharma. If the understanding of "Self itself is buddha" were buddha-dharma, Fayan would not have given such criticism or guidance. You should just inquire about the rules of practice as soon as you meet a master, single-mindedly practice zazen, and pursue the way, without leaving a half understanding in your mind. [In other words, just forget about understanding, and just practice the way with a teacher. Find out how to do it, and just do it.] Then the excellent art of buddha-dharma will not be in vain.
So, I think that's good for us too. Not to worry about something we are going to get – whether it is understanding or illumination or experience. All those things are important. I don't mean to denigrate them. It's just that those are not the things that fundamentally settle us in the buddha-dharma. Those are helps and aids and watersheds on the way. But they are not the way. The way is to practice whole-heartedly – with love, with openness. And to put into practice in everyday life what we find on our cushion, so that our zazen is not just on the cushion, but extends everywhere and all the time – in all our relationships and in all our activities. The way to practice is to feel that there is nothing else but continually doing that, all the way up to the last moment of life.
That's the way that Dogen is speaking about in Bendowa.

Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a group founded by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, is airing a 30-second spot in the Washington, D.C., area calling for background checks on all gun sales.
The ad, which will air during the third-quarter break of the Super Bowl, shows video footage of NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre supporting background checks in May 1999, a month after the mass shooting at Columbine High School.
"We think it's reasonable to provide mandatory instant criminal background checks for every sale at every gun show," LaPierre can be seen saying. "No loopholes anywhere for anyone."
LaPierre responded to the ad on Fox News Sunday, saying he was not endorsing universal background checks but instead indicating his support for "a check at gun shows."
Last week, while testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, LaPierre described universal background checks as "an unworkable universal federal nightmare bureaucracy."
President Obama has called for universal background checks as part of his plan to stop gun violence in response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings last December.
LaPierre reiterated his opposition to those checks on Fox News Sunday, telling host Chris Wallace:
"It's a fraud to call it universal. It's never going to be universal. The criminals aren't going to comply with it. They could care less. We ought to quit calling it right now a universal check. The real title ought to be 'the check on law abiding people all over this country.'"
The battle over gun control comes amid several high-profile shootings, including the killings in Newtown, Conn. Gun-control advocates want a restriction on the ownership of certain firearms such as military-style assault rifles. But the NRA opposes most gun-control efforts.
Mark Kelly, whose wife, former Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, was seriously injured in a mass shooting two years ago, testified on Capitol Hill last week, saying he and his wife are "pro-gun ownership" but "anti-gun violence."
Kelly told Rachel Martin, host of Weekend Edition Sunday, that he believes he and LaPierre can find common ground.
"I shook [LaPierre's] hand. I got to talk to him briefly," Kelly said. " I hope to have another conversation with him in the future and I'm hopeful that we get some real gun violence legislation passed to protect Americans, including kids in their classrooms."

Doing Good, Doing Well
If we define "doing well" as having excess income and wealth to spend on gratification, we have defined the wellspring of discontent.
There is an old and bitter maxim that describes the missionaries who sailed to Hawaii in the early-1800s: "They came to do good and stayed to do well." Is it easier to "get rich" than to do good? Does "doing well" create fulfillment or just an ephemeral gratification? Is it possible to "do good" and "do well" at the same time, or is the "to get rich is glorious," wealth-is-good mindset a self-serving illusion?
Gordon T. Long has assembled an excellent review of 2012 excerpted from the 20 video programs we taped in 2012 (also available as podcasts): the Recap is 23 minutes and includes 33 slides:
My new book Why Things Are Falling Apart and What We Can Do About It is now available in print and Kindle editions--10% to 20% discounts.
1. Debt and financialization
2. Crony capitalism and the elimination of accountability
3. Diminishing returns
4. Centralization
5. Technological, financial and demographic changes in our economyComplex systems weakened by diminishing returns collapse under their own weight and are replaced by systems that are simpler, faster and affordable. If we cling to the old ways, our system will disintegrate. If we want sustainable prosperity rather than collapse, we must embrace a new model that is Decentralized, Adaptive, Transparent and Accountable (DATA).
We are not powerless. Not accepting responsibility and being powerless are two sides of the same coin: once we accept responsibility, we become powerful.

Daddy Yankee died in a single vehicle crash on Route 80 between Morristown and Roswell. He was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics responding to the vehicle accident and was identified by photo ID found on his body. Alcohol and drugs do not appear to have been a factor in this accident - December 17, 2011
Highway Safety Investigators have told reporters that Daddy Yankee lost control while driving a friend's vehicle on Interstate 80 and rolled the vehicle several times killing him instantly.
The vehicle was believed to have been traveling at approximately 95 miles per hour in a 55mph zone at the time of the accident.
Witnesses have stated that Daddy Yankee's car crossed the double lines several times prior to the accident and hit the center lane divider causing the vehicle to flip and roll.
Toxicology tests will be performed to determine whether he was driving under the influence, however initial findings indicate that durgs or alcohol did not contribute in any way to this accident as it was more likely to been caused by road conditions.
Memorial services for Daddy Yankee have not yet been announced. The service is expected to be a closed casket funeral due to the severe head trauma.

Robert Bledsoe
So much has changed in life – self-driving cars, remote work, side hustles, car sharing – now could be a good time to revisit your insurance options. With the new Farmers Flex℠ Personal Auto policy, I can help you explore coverage options so you can choose the insurance you want for your life today. I'm local Farmers® agent Robert Bledsoe, and I work with individuals and families in Greenville, TX. I provide customers with information and discuss coverage options so they can select auto coverage that reflects how they want to protect their vehicles and assets. Let's have a conversation about your options. Give me a call today at +1 903-259-6447.
Getting the right auto insurance coverage can help ensure you are covered adequately. Learn about the different types of auto insurance coverage and what they can help protect you from.
Liability coverage can help pay the cost of injury to others and damage to their property when you're at fault for covered claims under the policy. This coverage is required by law in nearly all states.
Collision coverage can help with the cost to repair or replace your own vehicle for losses covered under the policy. It can provide coverage for collisions with other vehicles or objects.
Comprehensive coverage covers your vehicle for loss caused by things besides a collision. These include theft, vandalism, hail, fire, and animal damage. Learn more about the difference between collision and comprehensive coverage Link Opens in New Tab, and what each can specifically offer you.
You're a good driver who gets great rates – don't let one accident get you down. With Accident Forgiveness, Farmers won't raise your auto premium because of an at-fault accident for every three years you drive without one with Farmers.
Each time your policy renews without a claim, you earn $50 (at six-month renewal) or $100 (at annual renewal) towards your deductible the next time you do have a claim.
Enhanced Roadside and Ride Assistance goes beyond 24/7 towing and roadside assistance to add funds for a rideshare to continue your trip. Whether you're stuck in the mud, have a flat tire, locked your keys in the car or simply left the lights on, this coverage can help get you back on the road.
If your car is determined to be a total loss, Vehicle Replacement Plus allows you to replace it with a newer one and pay off any loan gap. * For a car less than two model years old with less than 24,000 miles, we pay to replace it with a new car of the latest model year. * For an older car or one with more than 24,000 miles, we will pay to replace it with a car one model year newer, with 20,000 fewer miles on it. If the car is financed and the total loss payment is less than the remaining balance due on the damaged car, it will also pay off that loan or lease gap.
When buying your policy, choose between two options to help in case your car is unavailable while undergoing covered repairs: * Rental Car coverage can pay for a rental car for up to 30 days while your car is repaired, or * Rental Alternative Coverage can pay you a daily stipend up to the limit you select, to use as you wish for each day your car is in the shop, until the maximum payout is exceeded.
When available, any covered repair will use only new parts from the original equipment manufacturer of your vehicle.

Banana Tatin Verrines
I never know "sur quel pied danser" (on which foot to dance) the last few days leading to Christmas. I have my feet in the starters' block but it is too soon to get going! The tree is up, the house is decorated, all the doughs for the cookies and treats are made and parked in the fridge waiting for Tuesday to be baked and Wednesday to be packaged. The menu is set, the food has been shopped for and is awaiting its own oven time. Today, there were moments of pure calm with a "yeah, I can have a cup of tea and a sit down" mixed with "Oh geez! Should I be panicking, should I, should I?"…
I could have panicked this afternoon when B. asked me what were the plans for lunch. I opened the fridge, peeked in the drawers, closed the door and smiled "well, I know you wouldn't have a problem eating raw biscotti dough for dinner but it ain't Christmas yet child…so let's go get some fish and grill". I was telling Lisa last night that I was on my 4th batch of shortbread dough and not because I was packing them up but because B. was eating them faster than I was baking them!!
We took the long way home coming back from the store and walked around the neighborhood checking houses all decked up for the holidays. All of a sudden the wind picked up and the air got downright chilly, and tonight there is a 20 degrees difference from the same time yesterday. Absurd…Yet the perfect occasion for one of those dessert you tend to crave on chilly days….like a tarte tatin. I opted for Banana Tatin Verrines instead with caramelized bananas layered, creme fraiche and a ginger crumble topping. Comfort in a spoon…
Banana Tatins Verrines:
1/2 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
(to make your own: mix one cup heavy cream with 1/4 cup sour cream and let sit overnight in the oven with the pilot light on, uncovered, refrigerate after that)
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons butter
2 bananas, cut into thick slices
Crumble topping (recipe follows)
Divide the creme fraiche between two glasses or ramekins.
In a large skillet set over medium high heat, cook the sugar with the water until it caramelizes to a golden caramel. Turn the heat down to medium and add the butter. Let it melt before adding the bananas. Let them cook in the caramel for a couple of minutes until soft and caramelized. Remove from the heat and wait a couple of minutes before dividing the banana slices in between your glasses. Top with the crumble and serve.
For the crumble topping:
1/4 cup light brown sugar
4 tablespoons all purpose flour
3 tablespoons cold butter
2 tablespoons chopped crystallized ginger
Preheat your oven to 350F.
In a bowl, combine the sugar, flour. Add the butter cut in small pieces, the ginger and mix with your fingertips until you get a mixture that ressembles coarse crumbs. Spread the mixture on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until golden brown. Let cool to room temperature.
Santa came a little early thanks to my dear friend Hannah from Bittersweet who sent me the cutest felt macarons that she made herself. Aren't these adorable? And calorie free!!
I might be able to post around Christmas day (maybe some pics of all the finally baked goodies and house decorations?) but I wanted to wish you all the Happiest Holidays and much love spent celebrating with family and friends!

Each Distance Learning course is equal to the on-campus section of the same course in terms of content and transferability. Students must meet prerequisites or provide assessment scores where applicable.
A Distance Learning course will transfer to other institutions in situations where the on-campus section of the same course will transfer; however, students who plan to transfer to a four-year institution should consult the catalog of that institution and work with an advisor in planning their academic programs. Material about transfer information is available at each college's Advising/Counseling Center.

For the first time in the school's 181-year history, the University of Alabama has named a woman to be its permanent president.
Trustees at the school announced today that Judy Bonner, who was the school's interim president for about five months earlier this year, is moving into the position. She takes over from Guy Bailey, who became president in September. He announced Wednesday that he needed to step down to focus on helping care for his wife, who has unspecified health problems.
"This is a decision my wife Jan and I made together after much discussion about how we can best address her health, which is the most important priority in our lives," Bailey said in a statement, as our colleagues at Alabama Public Radio reported.
When Bonner was named the interim president in March, the school said in a news release that she:
"Was promoted to UA's executive vice president and provost on April 1, 2006, after serving as provost and vice president for academic affairs since March 2003. Bonner holds two degrees from The University of Alabama — the B.S. in nutrition and the M.S. in food and nutrition — and the Ph.D. in human nutrition from The Ohio State University. She was named dean of the College of Human Environmental Studies at UA in 1989 and, prior to that, served as special assistant to the president, assistant academic vice president and head of the department of human nutrition and hospitality management. She has held faculty positions at The University of Alabama at Birmingham and The Ohio State University. Bonner is an active member of civic, scientific and professional organizations and is the author of numerous articles."

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions:
Thoroughbred foals may be registered at any time provided
all requirements listed in the Principal Rules and Requirements
of The American Stud Book are satisfied. To avoid late fees,
The Jockey Club should receive all materials within 12 months
of the date of foaling. Registration fees cover the cost of
genetic typing, parentage verification and corrections made
to the Certificate of Foal Registration within six (6) months
from the date of issuance. Refer to the Fee Schedule for
a full description of fees.
To avoid confusion on the racetrack and in the breeding industry, The Jockey Club has established Rules for naming Thoroughbreds. These rules help prevent duplication of names already in use or names of horses which enjoyed distinguished careers on the racetrack or breeding farm. All names submitted to The Jockey Club for approval are subjected to stringent review to assure names requested are not similar in spelling or pronunciation to those names already in use. Approximately 450,000 names are unavailable either because they are in current use or protected because of historical significance. However, approximately 75% of first name choices submitted are approved by The Jockey Club. The fastest way to name your Thoroughbred is through Interactive RegistrationTM, which features an Online Names Book which is updated continuously.
3. How is the parentage of my Thoroughbred verified?
In 2001, The Jockey Club switched from blood typing to DNA
typing for parentage verification. Although blood typing was
state-of-the-art for many years, DNA typing is 99.9% efficacious.
This high rate provides the greatest assurance modern science
has to offer for the integrity of The American Stud Book.
The genetic testing laboratories under contract by The Jockey
Club compare the genetic factors present in the sire and dam
to those factors present in the foal. These comparisons indicate
whether the sire and dam reported do indeed qualify as the
sire and dam of the foal.
If the horse is already registered, submit a completed Transfer of Ownership form signed by the new owner or agent listing the new ownership information, the horse's name, pedigree and date of purchase.
Forms submitted via Interactive Registration do not require a signature.If the registration is still in progress and papers have not issued, simply supply the correct ownership information in the spaces provided on the various forms utilized by The Jockey Club. For example, the Live Foal Report and Application for Registration can be used to report the ownership of a horse for which the papers have not yet issued.
The back of the Certificate of Foal Registration provides a number of blank spaces to record transfers of ownership when Thoroughbreds are bought and sold. The Jockey Club encourages all breeders and owners to faithfully record ownership transfers on the back of the Certificate of Foal Registration before the Thoroughbred changes hands.
To assure that future correspondence concerning the Thoroughbred is mailed to the correct address, The Jockey Club encourages owners to report transfers of ownership to the registry by either logging onto Interactive Registration and selecting "Transfer Ownership" or by calling the registry office and requesting a Transfer of Ownership form.
Although the term "ownership" is used, keep in mind The Jockey Club does not purport to maintain accurate and up-to-date records of ownership on Thoroughbreds. Rather, the transfer of ownership information is necessary to assure registry correspondence concerning the Thoroughbred reaches the appropriate parties responsible for transacting business with the registry.
The Jockey Club will not release the ownership information regarding a particular horse unless requested by order of a racing or court authority.
No fee is required to transfer ownership and DO NOT return the Certificate of Foal Registration.5. How can I replace my horse's papers that were lost?
Complete a duplicate certificate form and submit the following to The Jockey Club:
Four (4) color photographs clearly indicating all identifying markings taken from the front, rear and both sides. If no identifying markings are present, please submit a fifth (5th) photograph of a close-up of the face indicating all cowlicks present
- Bill of sale from owner or other form of proof of ownership.
- Notarized statement from the owner or authorized agent
describing in detail how the certificate of foal registration
was lost or destroyed.
- Duplicate fee (see Fee Schedule).
6. How can I get a pedigree and race record for my horse?
For a free 5-cross pedigree and to order reports such as race records and progeny records, visit equineline.com, the online Thoroughbred information service of our subsidiary, The Jockey Club Information Systems Inc. (TJCIS). For free entries, results, charts and other information, use the Horse Search feature at equibase.com, the Thoroughbred industry's official database for racing information.
Need additional information on registering your Thoroughbred? Please contact The Jockey Club Registration Services Department at (859) 224-2700 or 1-800-444-8521.
Is this enough information?
Yes, please return me to the last page I visited.
No, I'd like to fill out a feedback form and receive additional help.

Colon & Colorectal Cancer
Colon cancer forms in the lining of the colon. Rectal cancer forms in the lining of the rectum, the last several inches of the large intestine terminating in the anus. Collectively, these diseases are called colorectal cancer.
In the United States, colorectal cancer is the second deadliest form of cancer of men and women. Each year about 150,000 people will be diagnosed with colon cancer, and 50,000 people will die from the disease, according to the American Cancer Society.
Though scientists are unsure exactly what causes colon and colorectal cancer, some risk factors have been identified.
Colon Cancer Risk Factors
- Age 45 or older
- Adenomatous polyps, growths inside the colon and rectum that may become cancerous
- A high-fat diet
- Family or personal history of colon cancer or polyps
- Ulcerative colitis, Crohn's Disease or other inflammatory bowel diseases involving the colon
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Diabetes
- Obesity
- Smoking
- Alcohol
- Radiation therapy for cancer
Many cases of colon or colorectal cancer have no symptoms or warning signs until the cancer has advanced. However, there are some symptoms that may indicate colon cancer, but these symptoms are often confused for other conditions such as hemorrhoids. You should consult with a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms and are unsure of the cause.
Colon Cancer Signs and Symptoms
- Abdominal pain or tenderness in the lower abdomen
- Bloody stool
- Diarrhea, constipation or other changes in bowel functions
- Narrower than normal stools
- Unexplained anemia
- Unexplained weight loss
- Bloating, fullness or cramps
- Vomiting
Adenomatous Colon Polyps
An adenomatous colon polyp is a growth of extra tissue in the lining of the rectum or colon. It is a benign tumor that can usually be removed during a colonoscopy.
Most colon cancers develop from adenomatous polyps. If a benign adenoma is left to grow in the colon, it can become malignant over time. Therefore, by removing adenomas early, the chances of developing colon cancer are significantly reduced.
People who have a higher risk of adenomatous polyps include those who are 45 and older, who have had polyps previously, or who have a family history of polyps or colon cancer. However, not having a family history of the disease does not eliminate risk. In fact, 80 percent of those diagnosed with colon cancer have no family history.
Polyps generally do not cause symptoms. If a patient does have symptoms, they can include blood in their underwear or on toilet paper after a bowel movement, blood in stool, or constipation or diarrhea that has lasted more than a week.
Colon cancer is highly treatable when discovered early. Depending on an individual's medical and family history, colonoscopies are typically recommended every one, three, five or 10 years.
Colon Cancer Treatments and Procedures
The three primary treatment options for colon cancer are surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Treatment options for colon cancer depend on the stage of the cancer, whether the cancer has recurred and the patient's overall health.
The surgical option, a partial colectomy, includes removing the affected portion of the colon. How much of the colon is removed and whether the procedure is combined with other treatments depends on the location of the cancer, how deep it has penetrated the wall of the bowel and whether it has spread to the lymph nodes or other parts of the body.
In surgical treatment, the part of the colon that contains the cancer, as well as portions of healthy colon on either side, will be removed to ensure no cancer is left behind. Nearby lymph nodes will be removed and tested at the same time. Usually, the doctor is able to reconnect the healthy portions of the colon, but if that is not possible, the patient will have a temporary or permanent colostomy bag.
A colostomy bag is a device connected to the bowel that is attached to the skin discreetly under the clothing. Waste material travels into this bag which is then disposed of, and the bag is replaced as needed. Sometimes, a temporary colostomy is performed to give the bowel time to heal. It may become permanent if too much of the colon or the rectum has to be removed.
If the cancer is small, is in an early stage and is localized in an adenomatous polyp, it is possible it may all be removed during a colonoscopy.
If the cancer is very advanced or the patient's health is extremely poor, surgery may be done simply to provide comfort. This is an operation that will relieve a blockage of the colon to improve symptoms. This will not cure cancer but may relieve pain and bleeding.
Chemotherapy can be used after surgery to destroy any remaining cancer cells and may be recommended by the doctor if the cancer has spread beyond the lining of the colon. Chemotherapy can be used in conjunction with radiation. Radiation therapy uses powerful energy sources to kill any cancer cells that may remain after surgery or to shrink large tumors before an operation. This option is rarely used in the early stages of colon cancer.
Prevent Colon Cancer
Getting screened is the first step in preventing colon cancer. Several screening options are available, including colonoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy. As of May 2018, the American Cancer Society revised the recommended age for a first-time colon cancer screening to 45 years old due to an increased incidence of the disease among people under age 50.
The gold standard for colon cancer screening is colonoscopy because of its ability to examine the entire colon, from cecum to rectum, and to both detect and remove adenomatous polyps. Regular colonoscopies should begin at age 45 for people who are at average risk for colon cancer.
If you have a family history of polyps or colon cancer, many physicians may recommend you have your first colonoscopy at age 40 or even earlier, depending on your history. More frequent and earlier screening is recommended if you are at high risk for colon cancer.
To schedule your screening colonoscopy with one of our gastroenterologists, contact us today.
Lifestyle changes can also be made to reduce the risk of colon cancer:
- Add fruits, whole grains and vegetables to your diet
- Limit saturated fat
- Limit alcohol
- Eat a varied diet
- Quit smoking
- Stay active and maintain a healthy body weight
