Do it.

Can't see it? Just do it. Stuff for the blind and everyone else.
Many of you know I love food. What you may not know is I lost my vision because of Neuromyelitis Optica, a rare autoimmune disease which currently has few effective treatments and no cure. I am doing my part to change this: the first annual Dining for NMO Day will take place on Monday, October 19th, and I am asking you to kindly support.

I turned 36 Saturday. I still consider 36 mid-thirties, but the hubs likes to annoy me and say I'm in my upper thirties now. When I was young, 36 sounded so grown-up. Now that I'm actually a grown-up, I don't feel much like an adult at all. Example: I still shudder when someone refers to me or my girlfriends as women.
"You mean us girls?" I'd say.
At family weddings, I'll ask, "Where's the kids table?" because I still classify myself separately from the adults/parents.
Age is often a state of mind. I'm happier now than I was in my twenties because I am more grounded and self aware. Even so, aging does concern me. I actually think I might be better off blind since I'll never know how many wrinkles have formed. The downside is if I miraculously regain vision one day, I'm in for a total shocker.
But because I want to be young as long as possible, there are a few pillars to my "youth." (Like how I put that word in quotes?)

Without asking a sighted person, how does a blind individual differentiate between a $1 bill and a $100? How does a visually impaired person read their prescription labels?
No, this is not one of those Singaporean logic problems that recently took the world by storm. They're common questions I and other visually impaired people get whenever we meet sighted people who are curious about how we go about our mundane everyday tasks.
I say, thank God for technology.
Technology is a big part of our lives, and perhaps those of us without sight depend on it even more. I use my Macbook to write, email, create recipes, and curate menus. I use JAWS to post blog entries and conduct web research, among other work. I use my iPhone to post on social media, communicate (obviously), and read the news. I also utilize a few specialized apps designed with the blind in mind. Life ain't easy when you're blind, but it's made just a tad easier with the help of certain technologies.

**This post was originally published on NMO Diaries and has been slightly edited for this blog.
Many who have watched me on "MasterChef" or listened to me speak or follow me on social media often wonder what's my secret to life. Unfortunately, like any other human being (except for maybe the Dalai Lama), I have no key to the universe. I don't know what the hell is going on half the time, and the other half, I spend wondering how I'm going to make it through the hour, day, week, or year.
In spite of never having complete control over my life (which, if you are human, chances are you don't either), I've been doing my best to control what I can. That is, I've been on a steady (albeit slow) path towards healthier living for almost two years now, and here are twelve tips I've picked up along the way. I must insert a caveat first: I am not going to pretend I have it all together and follow all twelve rules 100% of the time. But I do try to follow them to the best of my ability given the particular circumstance at any given moment. I'm no sage when it comes to enlightenment—even though we know what we should do, we often don't do it—but these are twelve things I've been giving more thought to ever since: (1) being healthy got trendy, (2) I realized I wasn't getting any younger, and (3) I became more proactive at improving my standard of living.

We took a trip to Colorado in January where I snowboarded and rode on a snowmobile (as a passenger, not a driver–don't worry!). I strapped a GoPro to my helmet when I took to the slopes, and the hubs wore the camera on the snowmobile.
Here's footage from our snowy adventures from Peak 9 and the Continental Divide in Blind Life episode 8: How the Blind Snowboard.

**This blog post is largely excerpted from last week's entry at NMO Diaries.
If you read last week's blog post on what to cook/eat on a ski trip, or if you follow me on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, you would've known I was in Breckenridge, Colorado, two weekends ago to work on my snowboarding skills. And yes, the blind can snowboard.
The hubs picked up snowboarding after he went on his first trip for his bachelor party five years ago. He was subsequently bitten by the boarding bug, and I'd since gifted him a nice board, and he goes at least once a season. Because I don't believe in limiting myself with my vision loss, I decided to try my own hand (feet?) at snowboarding, if only to have a common enjoyable pastime with the hubs.

Happy 2015!
As you might detect from last year's post about getting fit, I don't really believe in New Year's resolutions; I'm of the mind one should set goals whenever one is ready instead of waiting for the calendar year to run out. But, I'm aware come January 1st, many people resolve to become new and improved versions of themselves, and I know many of these resolutions are something like, "I'm going to eat less sweets in 2015" or "I'm going to actually use my gym membership this year." Essentially, the aim is often to achieve good health, so it's only appropriate I blog about the topic of healthier living for my first post of 2015.
Okay, I admit: I cooked with Connor over a year ago, so the footage from this episode is nothing new. But we were waiting on the embedded video, and then I was waiting on the edit from my hubs/director/producer/sound engineer/UX marketing manager at Home Depot's blinds.com. (Yes, he is a John of all trades.)
This fell to the wayside, and I got nervous releasing Episode 6: Cooking with Connor so late—what if his condition has changed dramatically since our cooking date?
In my last blog post, I wrote about how I as a vision impaired woman apply makeup. I even created Blind Life episode 3: How the Blind Put on Makeup because so many people had wondered how I managed to make myself presentable in public.
This week, along the same lines, I'm going to talk about one of my (and many women's) favorite pastimes: shopping.
I may cook the food, but the hubs grows the food. Yup, that's an aerial view of our urban garden above.
The hubs and I began our garden adventures a few years ago after we'd moved into our current home, which had a small (but garden beckoning) backyard. We started off with herbs in a few planters and then expanded to a raised garden bed made from trapezoidal wooden boards purchased from Costco. The hubs has since graduated to making his own wooden garden beds with cedar planks freshly cut at Home Depot. This year, we currently have three rectangular garden beds and fig, lemon, and lime trees (the latter which will come in handy in the face of this crazy lime shortage). The hubs has moved all of our herbs from their pots into the garden bed, and now we have a good amount of greens to sustain our gastronomic needs.

Based on the novel by Hunter S. Thompson, The Rum Diary, follows itinerant journalist Paul Kemp (Johnny Depp) on an alcohol-fueled journey across the pristine island of Puerto Rico. Adopting the rum-soaked life of the island, Paul soon becomes obsessed with Chenault (Amber Heard) the wildly attractive fiancée of Sanderson (Aaron Eckhart), an American businessman involved in shady development deals. When Kemp is recruited by Sanderson to write favorably about his latest unsavory scheme, the journalist is presented with a choice: to use his words for the corrupt businessman's financial benefit or use them to take him down.
Actor-producer Johnny Depp pays homage to his friend Hunter S. Thompson through this sprightly adaptation of the novelist's semi-autobiographical novel. Depp plays Paul Kemp, the booze-sozzled journalist who takes center stage in Bruce Robinson's period comedy. Out of desperation, the New Yorker takes a job with a San Juan newspaper in 1960, where he reports to the cynical Lotterman (Richard Jenkins) and shares a squalid flat with laid-back photographer Sala (The Sopranos' Michael Rispoli) and the truly unhinged "crime and religion" reporter Moburg (a scene-stealing Giovanni Ribisi). The three Ugly Americans do their best to drain the island's rum supply until Kemp meets Aaron Eckhart's slick Sanderson, who recruits the writer to promote his real estate ventures, regardless as to the number of poverty-stricken Puerto Ricans his hotels will displace. Politically, Kemp leans left, but he needs the dough, so he accepts the offer, only to find the ultimate temptation in Sanderson's uninhibited fiancée, Chenault (the stunning Amber Heard). It's a tricky balancing act, but when the natives start getting restless, Kemp risks losing everything. If the conclusion feels anticlimactic, Robinson keeps the antic energy going through nerve-wracking car chases, balletic cock fights, and a hilarious acid excursion that recalls the hotel trip-out in Terry Gilliam's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, to which Robinson's film serves as a less surrealistic cousin. If it isn't as certain to become a cult classic, like the director's equally inebriated Withnail and I, Depp and company always remain true to Thompson's irascible spirit. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Long-running indie clubs Underground and Hang the DJs joined forces this Friday for a special holiday benefit event at the Echoplex. In addition to the clubs' residents, the party brought in a variety of guest DJs as well as bands Spiritvine and Doll and the Kicks.

What would "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" be without John Williams' heartwarming, awe-inspiring score? Not the same movie, for sure. That Oscar-winning music for the beloved 1982 Steven Spielberg film will be spotlighted when "E.T." is screened at concert halls around the world, beginning next week. Orchestras will perform the score live in sync with HD screenings of the film about a 10-year-old boy named Elliott and the lost little alien he befriends. The screening series is part of Film Concerts Live!, which has given a similar big screen, big live music treatment to "Back to the Future" and J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek." Jamie Richardson, one of the producers of the concert screening series, told HitFix that watching recording sessions of movie scores is an experience he's thoroughly enjoyed, and that's partially what inspired him to start Film Concerts Live!

Lightning strikes a clock tower at the climax of a high-stakes, high-octane cinematic sequence. Bullies run after our 17-year-old hero in a thrilling skateboard chase scene. A late-night test drive fills us with wonder as we first see a DeLorean travel through time, leaving behind trails of fire. These memorable scenes of "Back to the Future" shine their brightest on the big screen — and with big sound. That's the thinking behind Film Concerts Live!, a partnership of two music artist agencies that is screening movies accompanied by orchestras performing the film's score live. After screenings of "Home Alone" and J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek" with live music, Film Concerts Live! is joining the 2015 "Back to the Future" festivities with screenings that spotlight the score by Alan Silvestri (whose film music resume also includes "The Avengers" and "Forrest Gump"). Silvestri wrote about 20 minutes of new music for the concert series, »

With baseball season right around the corner, Major League Baseball teams are currently winding down their spring training in preparation to take their respective fields on opening day. Members of the New York Yankees used some of their downtime to put together a charming video, where a group of adult professional baseball players reenacted a memorable scene from the 1993 classic The Sandlot. The scene in question is where Smalls (Tom Guiry) explains to his friends Benny (Mike Vitar), Ham (Patrick Renna), Squints (Chauncey Leopardi), Yeah-Yeah (Marty York) and Kenny (Brandon Quintin Adams) that they were all playing with a baseball signed by the iconic Babe Ruth.
Of course, it's fitting that New York Yankees players recreated this scene, because Babe Ruth played for the Yankees for many years and Yankee Stadium is, after all, known as "The House that Ruth Built." Babe Ruth is considered by many, including the characters in The Sandlot, »

David M. Evans' The Sandlot is easily one of the most beloved baseball films of the modern era, and strangely enough, it's now is probably a movie that today's Major League players grew up watching. Certainly adding credence to that idea is this new video recorded by members of the New York Yankees, who recreated one of the feature's best scenes. As a fan of the New York Mets, it's kind of in my blood to feel a tad bit of scorn for the Yankees at all times, but credit is due to Brett Gardner, Jacoby Ellsbury, Cc Sabathia, Brian McCann, Didi Gregorius and the rest of the players in this video for making a funny, fitting tribute to The Sandlot. The short was posted by Mlb.com, and while it exists as promotion for the upcoming season of Yankee baseball, it still feels like something that team did »

As part of a design-build team, Parsons Brinckerhoff (PB) was awarded a contract to provide engineering design services for an extension of the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Blue Line light rail transit system (LRT).
The contract is with Austin Bridge & Road LP, which has been selected by DART to be the design/builder for the project. PB will serve as the lead engineering firm, providing civil, track work, structural, architectural, geotechnical, traffic and certain systems engineering design services.
The project runs from the existing Downtown Dallas Garland LRT station to a new Downtown Rowlett LRT station. It will consist of 4.5 miles of double-track LRT along the existing DART right-of-way that parallels the Dallas Garland and Northeastern Railroad freight tracks. Portions of the alignment will be elevated over rail, cross streets and waterways.
The Downtown Rowlett LRT station site will be designed to accommodate an at-grade platform and park-and-ride facility that will accommodate 800 parking spaces. A bus transfer facility within the site will include multiple bus bays.
Construction on the project is scheduled to begin later this year, with revenue service starting in December 2012.
The multi-colored LED displays, part of the subway system's Public Address Customer Information System, will feature next train arrival and destination information as well as graphical information. A text to speech function aids visually impaired transit riders with clear and easy to access messaging.
To further enhance the agency's customer connectivity options, Metra will also be installing free Wi-Fi in the waiting areas of downtown stations within 45 days, and it recently announced plans to test Wi-Fi on 11 cars systemwide before January 2016.
Keolis selected HASTUS-Rail after receiving on-site demonstrations of the software handling various scenarios that showed significant efficiency gains, cost savings and flexibility to adapt to Keolis' operations, including compliance with the FRA's hours of service regulations, according to the company.
The strategic combination will create one of the world's largest public rail equipment companies, with revenues of about $4.5 billion and a presence in all key freight rail and passenger transit geographies worldwide.
The engine, rated at 4400 hp (3281 kW) will be delivered to Siemens® manufacturing facility in Sacramento, Calif., where it will be installed into a Charger® locomotive.

Life and Public Services of Henry Wilson
Late Vice President of the United States by
Rev. Elias Nason and Hon Thomas Russell (1876)
A STATESMAN eminent for
patriotism and integrity is a national instructor. The record of his
life, his services, and his opinions, is, to some extent, an exposition
of the spirit and progress of the people whom he represents; and the
people have the right to claim it, not only as a memorial of the past,
but as an inspiration for the present, and a light for times to come.
Pre-eminently may this be
asserted in regard to the distinguished man whose biography we now
purpose to write.
Holding himself steady to
his noble purposes, he was so prominent an actor in the remarkable
events of the last twenty years, he was so identified with the life of
the republic, that an account of his official career becomes, in some
respects, the key to the history of the country for that period; while
in the development of the principles of freedom which he made, in the
consistent life he led, and in the counsel he imparted, we have our
hopes in the permanency of popular government brightened, and our steps
directed as we rise to national strength and grandeur.
In making a register of
his life, the authors have had access to original sources of
information, and have availed themselves of every aid within their reach
for the verification of their statements as to matters of fact. They
have endeavored to present opinions frankly and fairly, and to render
this biography as complete as the allotted time and space would permit.
If this book, in spite of
any errors, tends to do justice to the character and course of one of
the representative men of the present times, to give dignity to labor,
to inspire working-men with confidence in themselves, and stronger love
for our country, the end for which it is written will be attained.

Crusin' Nocona in gear today
Classic cars, parade, auction, food and more
After months of preparation, the time has come for Crusin' Nocona. The two-day event today and Saturday will feature a number of automobile-themed activities, highlighted by the Vicari Collector Car Auction.
"All the preparations have gone great with no complications," said Wanda Wood, Nocona Chamber of Commerce executive director.
While she said it is difficult to gauge, the director estimated this event will draw 1,500 to 5,000 car enthusiasts.
Things will kick off this morning with a breakfast hosted by Nocona Church of Christ from 7-10 a.m. The opening ceremony is at 9:30 a.m. and a parade of classic cars starts the Classic Car Poker Cruise.
Wood said she had 70
people preregistered for the event.
The Downtown Cruiser Car Show is scheduled for 3 p.m. as participants return from the Poker Cruise.
A parade of classic cars will begin at 5 p.m. A V.I.P. reception for preregistered auction bidders and consignors will be from 5:30 to 7 p.m.
The Church of Christ will host a pancake breakfast from 7- 10 a.m. Saturday. The Vicari Collectible Car Auction will begin at 9:30 a.m., followed by the Classic Car Auction at 10 a.m.
Vehicles for sale include the rare Amphicar, an amphibious automobile. The Downtown Cruiser Car Show will return from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Live entertainment will perform every hour and a half beginning at 10 a.m. on the Elm Street stage.
The Knights of Columbus will host a fish fry from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and again from 4:30 p.m. to close at the Justin Building. From 5 to 7:30 p.m., Prairie Valley 4-H will host a fiesta dinner at the Nocona Community Center.
On both days, tours of the Horton Classic Car Museum will be given from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The museum that features the massive car collection of Nocona's Pete Horton recently opened in a renovated grocery store and resembles a 1950s-style diner. Horton's collection of Corvettes is featured, along with many more.

"I became convinced that noncooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good."– Martin Luther King Jr.
The U.S. Supreme Court is expected any day to release opinions on two landmark cases (Hollingsworth v. Perry and U.S. v. Windsor) that, should the court overstep its authority, threaten great violence to the age-old institution of marriage – society's fundamental cornerstone.
Also at stake is the high court's already fragile legitimacy.
Lest there be any doubt as to where the Bible-believing Christian community stands, scores of Christian leaders and clergy – Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant alike – have released a statement in anticipation of these rulings entitled:"We Stand in Solidarity to Defend Marriage and the Family and Society Founded Upon Them."I was honored to have my name included among the list of signatories that, collectively, represent tens of millions of Christians.
The Marriage Solidarity Statement was drafted jointly by Deacon Keith Fournier, editor of Catholic Online and chairman of Common Good Alliance, and Mat Staver, chairman of Liberty Counsel Action. It was then vetted and approved by dozens of the aforementioned signers. Personally speaking, I have never seen a document that better captures and illustrates the certainties of legitimate marriage and family, as well as the inevitable consequences of tampering with either. (Go toMarriageSolidarity.comand add your name to the Marriage Solidarity Statement.)
The central reality behind the statement is this: Marriage is what marriage is, has always been and always will be. Marriage predates civil government. Mankind can no more transmute marriage to something it is not than can we reverse the earth's rotation or gravitational pull. Despite an evidently contagious delusion to the contrary, not even the United States Supreme Court is capable of overruling the laws of moral and biological physics. Any attempt to do so is illegitimate. It's moral alchemy. "Like other natural laws or laws of physics that govern our lives, marriage predates government, and civil institutions have no authority to redefine marriage," observes the statement. "Marriage cannot be redefined into something it is incapable of being. …"

Erin Brockovich Sequel in the Works: Hinkley Still Scene of Crime, PG&E Still Bad Guy
Looks like Pacific Gas & Electric is up to its usual tricks out in Hinkley, handing out swimming-pools worth of bottled water, buying up seemingly useless land in the middle of nowhere and causing horses to drop dead where they stand. Who you gonna call? Only the No. 1 girl power-house on HBO daytime!
The Environmental Working Group dropped an evidence bomb in December:
Chromium-6 levels in Riverside tap water were still the third highest of any city in the U.S. -- and that's not to speak of outlying tumbleweed towns like Hinkley.
The study apparently set OG health lawyer Erin Brockovich's gears to turning. According to the Associated Press, the real-live Brockovich will be attending a real-live Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board meeting out in the desert today, after speaking with the very same Roberta Walker who, in the original lawsuit's movie adaptation, "weeps with joy as she's handed her portion of a historic $333 million settlement between residents of this small desert town and the utility that poisoned their drinking water."
In December, when the new study dropped, Brockovich was already seething:
"It is sometimes difficult to understand why I still have to warn the public about the presence of hexavalent chromium in drinking water 23 years after my colleagues and I first sounded the alarm," said Brockovich. "This report underscores, in fairly stark terms, the health risks that millions of Americans still face because of water contamination."
Walker and family, too attached to desert life to leave completely, moved four miles away from the PG&E plant, thinking that'd be enough to buffer the toxic plume of chromium-6. However -- while PG&E only reports a two-mile plume -- Brockovich and L.A. cohort Bob Bowcock think their new tests show "the contaminated area is twice as big as the utility's estimates."
Which would explain the dead horse.
Even in the safety of Google satellite, this thing makes us cower in fear:
Google Maps
We'll update with Brockovich's big announcement out in the boonies today. As for you, Julia: Break out the push-up bras and Independent Woman run-ons, because it's evil corporation-bashin' time.

Town Square
Best Musical Composition at the Oscars
Original post made by Paul Losch, a resident of Palo Alto, on Mar 7, 2010
It is Oscars night, which does nothing for me, but I got to thinking about what music composers contribute to a movie, and how the hell they do it.
The actors do a scene, often with no one else on the set. It all gets spliced together later. And there is in a good movie some spontaneity and unexpected character development that makes it worth the $10 price of admission at the multi-plex.
I have absolutely no idea how a movie music composer is able to do his/her job while a movie is being filmed.
Virtuoso John Williams, among others, has figured it out. I admire the likes of him, they give movies a critical texture which I think most of us rank amateurs don't recognize or appreciate.

85% of cars already have "event data recorders." A bill in Congress mandates EDRs in all 2015 cars. But relax (a little): They only record the seconds around an accident, not your entire driving history.
Latest proposals wouldn't ban phones, iPods. Now the government envisions a safer car with restrictions (sorry, "safeguards") on how you could access calls, texts, music, nav info.
Keep drivers from using any mobile device and traffic safety will improve. Except it already has during the era of the in-car cellphone.
The driver sees a navigation display, speed and adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning information seemingly projected just above the hood. The $1,300 option moves further down the BMW line to the 2013 BMW 3 Series this winter.
GM-Takata airbag pops out of driver's seat in side impacts. Collision alert camera also warns of lane departures.

A little-engine-that-could-kinda work of self-published fan fiction that has spun up some amount of notoriety.
Way back in 2007 — after a mere nine months of warning — some doctor handed us a little bundle of blankets with a baby inside and suggested we go home and figure it out. This is me trying.
Shortly after my daughter was born, I registered for a clinic to learn how to run five kilometers. I've been running and writing about it ever since, but none of it is any sort of advice at all.
With a kid in school, and a dad who respects life-long learning, there are bound to be a growing collection of posts that have something to do with that whole education thing.
For most of my life I've defined myself as a gamer. But while I don't have countless hours to devote to gaming anymore, I still play my fair share and have something to say about it.
There is something about that click — taking a picture — that is immensely satisfying to me. It is an addiction that now spans more than half my life & hundreds of thousands of images.
I like that I live in a small Canadian city at a point in our cultural growth that the things that happen here are still an important part of shaping a new identity for ourselves.

Remember Baylee the Bee? That little illustrated picture book I wrote and published a few months ago. It's not going to let me retire early from sales quite yet, but it is selling a copy here and a copy there. More exciting is that within about an hour of writing and publishing this post, I'll be dropping by Claire's classroom, iPad in hand, because it's Read In Week… the week when parents show up and read their kid's favourite books to the class. And Claire has been telling everyone that her dad is showing up to read the book he wrote: a little story about a bee named Baylee. So, basically what I'm saying is that, in the life of every author there is moment when they must go read their work in front of an audience for the very first time… I guess that's today. And I'm more nervous than I would have expected.
If you don't write a blog, chances are you do not hold nearly as much hate in your heart for comments as someone who writes online. It's never the comments you see, though. If I've approved your comment then this anger is most definitely, absolutely, one-hundred-percent NOT directed at you. It's the hundreds of comments you don't see that drive me bonkers. Much of it is bot-spam, but the stuff that isn't reveals a deep, dark broken soul of our society that should never be let out of it's cage. So, when WIRED recently published an article about the end of comments, I took that as my queue to cut the final few lingering threads of commenting on this blog. In it's place I've gone old-skool: if you want to participate, there is now a "Letters to the Editor" form link at the bottom of every page. If you have something to say, I'd love to hear from you… and I'll respond back through a blog post.

Success? Apparently some time over the weekend my numerous technical inquries to the Globe & Mail subscription offices was processed and sent somewhere. Their website changed, the validation step that was rejecting my address for being (literally) odd vanished and in its place a more basic form that actually allowed me to set up a subscription appeared. Starting next weekend: newspaper delivery… how twentieth century, huh? In the meantime, I went out on what I thought would be a quick mission to actually buy a copy from a nearby store on Saturday morning. This resulted in driving about ten kilometers and stopping at three locations before I landed at the Safeway which actually sold the Saturday paper. You'd think I was in some backwater rural town not a major metropolitan capital city. Next weekend I expect to step out onto my porch in my pajamas while the coffee is brewing and pick it off my step. Jeeze… I feel old just writing that.
Ideally, I'll have a nice relaxing newspaper read… and I won't need to deal with the trolls for at least one day.read the full post ⇒

PISA › About PISA › PISA-based Test for Schools
|The PISA-based Test for Schools is a student assessment tool, used by schools to support research, benchmarking and school improvement. It provides descriptive information and analyses on the skills and creative application of knowledge of 15-year-old students in reading, mathematics, and science comparable to main PISA scales. It also provides information on how factors within and outside of school are linked to student performance. Student questionnaires are an important part of the assessment, collecting information on socio-economic background, attitudes and interests in reading, science and mathematics, and the school learning environment.

Travelers Scamming Wedding Parties At Hotels
by Chris Malone
posted Oct 10 2013 4:43AM
Wedding crashers used to just show up, uninvited to weddings, but now they're doing something different. Rising hotel costs means more people are trying to get the discounts at hotels, even if that means claiming they're guests of a wedding they're not invited to. People searching out the wedding block rates simply type "wedding block" into google and then look at couple's wedding webistes with often include guest information and special codes to book rooms. Experts say hotels aren't overly concerned about crashers since it's better to sell a room than have it go empty, which unfortunately means it's up to the couple to catch the liars. Alan Fiels, co-autho of "Bridal Bargains" says that couples who are offering guest a room block to check to see who has booked, especially if the block is close to selling out, because if an interloper takes a spot one of your guests should have your guest will end up paying a higher rate.

From kitty's perked ears listening to birdy chirps to romps in the long grass for Fido, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the great outdoors even when it's not Earth Day. My favorite activity is strolling by the ocean on warm days with my pup while he focuses on looking for sticks and not getting wet, I listen to the waves crash along Baker Beach. In honor of the 40th anniversary of the Earth Day holiday, I'd love to hear how you enjoy nature with your furry friends in the comments below!

I like to take walks along the greenbelt with Missy Puppy and watch her freak out at the little snakes sunbathing on the path.
I tried to bring Oliver Katt outside of my home to show him to a neighbor. He tossed his front paws around my neck, howled, and shredded my tee with his back claws. He isn't even particularly that interested in looking out windows. Not a nature boy! :true:
Swimming with them in the lake or taking a boat ride. I am not sure which is better seeing them splash around in the water or wearing their pink polka dot life jackets on the boat.
I take my cat on the balcony with me. I will sit there and read, while she lays in the sun and looks around at the scenery. She loves it. After so long, she is ready to go back inside though.
My Bengal Pan, girlfriend Tammy, and I always love go on hikes every weekend. Pan loves the nature, sun, and exercise.
