One more year
Peeking at Jhoanna's window display at Hudson - Photo by Kristen Doran
There's something different about the age 27, in my mind. 27 seems a lot older than 26. It's officially late 20s. By 27 you expect people to be well on their way to accomplishing things. Uni days left far behind and getting into their careers. My brothers were married and buying houses by this age. Not that I don't feel that I've accomplished enough but there's a certain extra level of self expectation now.
Anyway... that's my round-about way of saying that today is my birthday :) Just like any ordinary work day (I was spoilt by having my birthday always fall on school holidays) but I'm looking forward to Mum & Dad's this evening and my favourite 'hotpot' for dinner :)

Happy birthday to you! If you want to be introspective about your life so far, wait until you hit 39 like I did this summer... having 40 looming over me is definitely making me think about things ;)
I wish you all happiness in your 27th year!

Happy Birthday, Lara! I'd say you're well ahead of the curve! Have a lovely day.

Happy Birthday!
27 is a good age. It's the last time you'll be "n to the n" years old (i.e. 3 cubed). Unless they somehow develop amazing new technology that allows us to live to 256 years old.
Sorry about that - it's the Maths nerd in me.
- 12:36 pm
In 9 days, I will leave my mid-twenties and enter my late twenties, just like you. I cannot believe that I'm soon entering into my late-twenties. It's not turning out what I imagined it to be.

Have a wondeful birthday. Thus far I think 30 was the best year. It felt like, wow, I'm a grown up, but still cool, and people can see me as a woman of the world. I am 34 now and not sure about the mid-30s and looming late 30s thing. I'm cool with it, it just takes some getting used to.

happy birthday Lara. Enjoy the rest of your day. :) Wow, if I could rewind back to that age and do all the things I've only just started doing.
- 9:14 pm
Happy Birthday!
I am 27 as well (and the husband), but only for another two months.
I agree, you have definitely accomplished a lot already. Selling your own fabrics, and you are in the midst of opening a printing shop too!
Think of how many girls dream of being able to do just one of those things someday, many of them older than you. But I know it can be hard to think of our jobs as special sometimes, it is just what we do every day!

Happy Birthday Lara,
I think you have done quite alot and manymore years to achieve alot more

Happy birthday! I turned 30 this year and thought this would be a major change. Well...

Happy birthday, may the patterns reveal something magical for you this year.
27 is great, wait till you hit your thirties :) And be grateful that you don't work in education - we just got a fresh batch on first year students today and it was, as always, an "oldifying" experience.

27 seems young to me now that I'm turning 31 (eek)! Enjoy 27, it's a fun age =)

Happy Birthday! I remember 27, although it was a long time ago. The emotions you describe are exactly what I felt at that age. I have to say it was one of my most difficult birthdays. I just turned 50 last month, and to tell you the truth, it was a piece of cake in comparison. I hope that you know nothing stays the same and life is good!!

HBD 2 You! Gosh, and I thought that I was supposed to start acting like an adult now that I'm 35. Sheesh! You've got some sky high expectations there. I think at least until you're 30, you need to do nothing except have fun all the time. Paying the house payment is fun and all...don't get me wrong. ;)

Yay! Happy Birthday! I´m also 27 and it´s a great age ;)

- Steve Caddy said...
It's all relative. Which is to say, age is relatively irrelevant. I thought I was too old to learn guitar when I was 18 because I had friends who'd started when they were 9 and 12 and were already so good.
We have friends who are in their late 30s who still aren't sure what they want to do with their lives, who they want to spend them with or where they want to live. Elle MacPherson is still hot at she's 44 for Godsakes!
So long as you take relatively good care of yourself you've got heeeuuuuge amounts of time left (as far as you know - rogue buses and trams notwithstanding). One of the good things about getting older is you start to get this base of cumulative experience going - not expertise or knowledge per se, but a much better intuitive feel for what to do at certain points, a better knack for evaluating risk and an ability to nod knowingly, bite tongues and scratch chins with authenticity. It's good.
Take it as it comes and live each age well, they're all slightly different. I don't care terribly for expectations or life deadlines assigned to age.

The 2013 Yukon Quest is almost in the record books.
On this the ninth full day on the 1000 mile trail from Whitehorse to Fairbanks the 20 plus remaining teams of mushers and dogs have got to be hiiting the wall, to borrow from marathoner-speak. The two leaders are nearing the finish line about a day ahead of the rest of the field. Susie Rogan is holding on to ninth spot. At her present rate of 7-8 mph she is making good time. I personally don't know Susie but, according to my husband Bruce, his cousin is a determined woman who finishes whatever she starts. So Susie and her beloved dogs will get there. According to the Yukon Quest website she has only dropped two dogs. All the teams start off with a string of 14 dogs, 8 in harness and the spares waiting at various checkpoints. If a musher or the race veterinarians deem an animal unfit to continue the dog is replaced by a fresh animal. The most important consideration for any musher is the welfare of the dogs. Finshing the race comes second and finishing anyhwhere near the front of the pack is a bonus. We both wish we were able to cheer her on in person as Susie and her team cross the finish line, but we'' be there in spirit!

Here I am again in Akron, Ohio, USA. My first Zen teacher used to say that Northeast Ohio was like a black hole. No matter how far away you get from it, it sucks you back in.
It's freezing cold outside. Intensely, unbelievably cold. But the sky is blue and the sun is shining. I can even hear a few birds. Are there birds insane enough to stay this far north at this time of year? I guess there are. Someone is even colder than me.
This is the start of my Massive Midwest Tour. The dates are as follows:
• February 9, 2011 (Wed) 10 PM Akron, OH: Zero Defex at The Matinee 812 W. Market St. Akron, OH
• February 15, 2011 (Tues) 7:30 PM Lawrence, KS: Kansas Zen Center 423 New York St, Lawrence, KS 66044
• February 17, 2011 (Thu) 7:30 PM Kansas City, MO: Unity Temple on the Plaza, 707 W. 47th St., Kansas City, MO 64112
• February 20, 2011 (Sun) 9:50 AM Cedar Rapids, IA: Cedar Rapids Zen Center 1618 Bever Ave SE, Cedar Rapids, IA (All Day Zazen, begins at 9 AM, talk at 9:50, come for the zazen, the talk or both)
• February 22, 2011 (Tue) 7:00 pm (doors open 6:30) St Louis, MO: Seki's Japanese Restaurant 6335 Delmar Blvd., St. Louis, MO
• February 26, 2011 (Sat) 7:00 PM St Louis, MO: Missouri Zen Center, 220 Spring Ave., Webster Groves, MO 63119
If you're anywhere near any of these places and you miss any of these talks/retreats, you will suffer.
I've moved out of Brooklyn. I've heard enough people say "I told you so." If you want to add your restatement of the same sentiment, be my guest. But the truth is, I already knew so when I went into it. I just thought maybe it could work. And maybe it will at some point. I just saw a video in which Akron-native Chrissy Hynde says about Akron, "I can't stay here for long. I can't live my life in a car." I have the same problem. I like to walk and if I can't walk places, I get too sad. So I'm gonna see if I can make this work. Akron will be my base of operations at least until all the Midwest stuff is done.
It's always intriguing to see what gets people going as far as my writing is concerned. Saying anything against reincarnation is sure to cause an uproar (see below). Same with anything I say knocking koan practice or Zen on the Internet. What's the common ground?
I don't know. But I think it has to do with investing a lot of your sense of self into a specific idea. When that idea is challenged, you have a tendency to want to fight back. For example, I've noticed that if I say anything negative about what some call "koan introspection practice" I get comments here that express personal anger. It's as if I have directly insulted the commenters and they want to insult me back. From this I can guess that these commenters have made the practice such a part of their ego structure that anything negative said about it feels like a personal attack.
The comments I made about Zen in Second Life have caused some ruckus, I hear. That's also interesting. I think perhaps some have assumed wrongly when I say bad things about the Internet. They think I'm saying, "Look at me! I'm not on the Internet like you nerds! You should be a cool guy like me! Not an Internet-bound dweeb!"
But this is not the case. I tend to believe that's glaringly obvious. But perhaps it's not. So for the record, I'm on the god damned Internet all the time! I can see what a time suck it is because IT SUCKS MY TIME. I am precisely the type for it. I'm generally anti-social. I'm not a "people person" at all. I know it's easy to hide here in cyberspace BECAUSE I DO IT.
I also know it's the wrong way to live. It's terribly damaging. I can see how it fosters a lot of the kind of behavior that makes me miserable. I can see how hard it is to break those habits. I can see how attractive the Internet can be. It can seem like a friend, a companion. I know you can mistake chats and Skype conversations for real conversations because I do it myself. This is all from personal experience.
When I tell all you nerds to go outside and play, I am telling myself to go outside and play. Talk to real people right in front of you. Don't hide here.
Which I shall now do, in spite of the bone numbing cold. I need to go deliver some books to Square Records so they can sell them on consignment for me.

First off, here's a new podcast interview I did:
Find is at http://darrenmain.libsyn.com/sex-sin-zen
I also have a new thing up on Suicide Girls (SG). It's at http://suicidegirlsblog.com/blog/hardcore-zen-sex-at-dawn/. It's a review of the new book Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality. I'm going to give the piece a little time there on SG before I comment on it. But there are, I feel, a few other things to say about the book.
The new SG blog site is supposed to be safe for work and it's freely accessible by anyone.
That's it for now. I'll write more on this subject in the next day or two.
OH! And if you're in San Francisco or Los Angeles, I'm gonna be doing a whole busload of talks and things over the next couple weeks. Go to http://web.me.com/doubtboy/Site/BookTour_2010.html for all the details. See you there!

An Empathy Video That Asks You To Stand in Someone Else's Shoes
If you could stand in someone else's shoes... Hear what they hear. See what they see. Feel what they feel. Would you treat them differently?These words end this incredibly beautiful video produced by the Cleveland Clinic, a nonprofit medical center that integrates clinical and hospital care with research and education. We spend quite a bit of effort here at On Being focusing on the sound of the human voice and how each guest adds to our collective discussion. We attempt to draw out the best of their stories and experiences in all its messiness and glory. This video speaks to each person's complexity, the stories that go unsaid but float just beneath the surface.
Titled "Empathy," this video was presented by the health care organization's CEO Toby Cosgrove at his annual State of the Clinic address on February 27, 2013. And it gets at a point that immunologist Esther Sternberg explores in her work and personal life: how new knowledge about the physical spaces of our lives can stress us, make us sick, or help us be well and connect with others.
For so many years, our hospitals and clinics were sterile, perfunctory structures that ignored the humanity of its patients and focused on the programmatic structure of its spaces. Ms. Sternberg explains:"Hospitals are built like mazes because typically you have the old original small hospital building and then they keep adding wings to it, which hospitals until recently were designed really to optimize the diagnostic tools, you know, the X-ray equipment and the blood-drawing and so on rather than the human being that's going to be in that building. Airports too. Just think about an airport."Folks like John Cary of Public Interest Design and others are at the forefront of a burgeoning field focusing on human-centered design. And, the nonprofit organization The Center for Health Design launched an initiative in 2000 called the Pebble Project, which uses an evidence-based design approach to "better understand the implications of the built environment on healthcare outcomes." They're learning how the built environment can affect everything from medication errors at cancer institutes to the efficacy rates of recovery with acuity-adaptable rooms (staying in the same room for admission to discharge) to the way caregivers work. They're not only collaborating with healthcare providers and medical industry partners, they're also drawing from the expertise of architects and design firms such as Herman Miller.
In the end, it's about human connection. When we relate to those around us by understanding their back stories and their circumstances, we improve the way we work, the way we live, the way we take care of one another, the way we relate going forward and, as Martin Luther King Jr. would say, building the "beloved community" that edifies us all.

A student at the Missouri University of Science and Technology has died as a result of head injuries after he fell "while in an intoxicated state," according to Rolla police.
A student at the Missouri University of Science and Technology has died as a result of head injuries after he fell "while in an intoxicated state," according to Rolla police.
According to a Rolla Police Department press release, Andrew Menner, 23, of Ellisville, passed away Tuesday, Nov. 20, as a result of injuries he suffered from the fall.
At around 10:10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 16, central communications in Rolla received a 911 medical call regarding a subject who was unresponsive and having difficulty breathing.
Emergency personnel responded to the 200 block of East 12th Street and located the unresponsive subject, who turned out to be Menner.
Menner was transported to the Phelps County Regional Medical Center and was soon transferred to a hospital in St. Louis for further treatment. He later died Tuesday and the next of kin was notified.
Preliminary information received indicated that Menner had sustained trauma to the head.
An investigation initiated by the RPD's division of criminal investigation determined that Menner had fallen and struck his head while in an intoxicated state on the night of Nov. 15.
At this time the death is believed to have been accidental in nature, according to police.
Menner was residing in Rolla, while attending Missouri S&T, where he was a senior in the civil engineering program. He also was a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity.
Menner is the second member of the fraternity to die in less than a month. On Nov. 9, Aaron R. Cobb, 21, of Olathe, Kan., a senior civil engineering major at Missouri S&T, died in a car crash.

Ok, so I had to post this but I have no idea how to get a video of the play and post it here. Hopefully someone who does will do so..
So I'm watching the replay of the Seahawks/Bears game and I saw something that about floored me. On the 4th quarter 97 yard drive to take the lead, It's 1st & 10 from the Seahawks 45 with 2:01 on the clock. The play is another zone read play with Wilson keeping and running to the left. Now, take a look at what happens to #33 Tillman on this play. It's as nasty of a stiffarm as anything I've seen from Lynch, shoving Tillman to the ground before picking up another 5 yards and getting out of bounds.
If Tillman makes the tackle, he holds us to a 3 yard game and we're at the 2 minute warning. After the play is completed, you can see Tillman jumping up and down in anger for getting schooled in the open field.
As such, and in honor of Marshawn's baby stiffarm, I deem this the baby baby stiffarm. It's a thing of absolute beauty.
*Edit - here's a screencapture of the event. Hopefully someone can .gif the whole thing, or post the video.

Difference between revisions of "Pasadena"
Revision as of 20:32, 30 April 2012
Pasadena [60] is one of the oldest cities adjoining Los Angeles and is the main population center of the San Gabriel Valley in Southern California.
Pasadena is located at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, just 11 miles northeast of Downtown Los Angeles. Known as the City of Roses, Pasadena is most famous for its New Year's Day Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game. The number of people in the city balloons every year after Christmas as visitors come from all over to decorate and view the floats, as well as to attend arguably the most famous college football bowl game of the year.
Pasadena has become the most exciting place for nightlife in the San Gabriel Valley. With bustling Old Pasadena's 200 boutiques, national retailers, restaurants and clubs in the western section, chic shopping and dining on South Lake and abundant services in the eastern area, Pasadena is really the place to be!
As the birthplace of Julia Child and home to 500 restaurants serving cuisine from around the world, Pasadena is a real find for foodies. Adding to its culinary credentials, one of only 15 Le Cordon Bleu-affiliated culinary schools in the United States resides here.
Pasadena is a cultural oasis with 14 museums and 11 performing arts organizations, including the Pasadena Playhouse and Norton Simon Museum. Pasadena also boasts the world renowned California Institute of Technology, home to 31 Nobel prize winners. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory is also just a ten minute drive north.
Most visitors to Pasadena will also not want to miss the nearby Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens which features a large art collection but is more famous for its 150 acres of botanical gardens that have been used as a backdrop for many Hollywood films.
Get in
By plane
The closest and most convenient airport is the Burbank/Bop Hope Airport in [[Burbank], which is just 16 miles from Pasadena. Other nearby airports are in Los Angeles, Ontario, and Orange County.
The best way to get to Pasadena from Burbank/Bob Hope Airport is via SuperShuttle, Prime Time Shuttle or Xpress Shuttle. There are a couple of ways to get to Pasadena from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), which is 27 miles from Pasadena. A taxi from LAX will cost approximately $80. SuperShuttle and Prime Time are shared-ride vans which serve the Pasadena area from LAX. Stand under the orange "shared ride vans" sign in the center concrete island outside the airport. Tell a customer service representative that you need a ride to Pasadena. They are easy to identify by their blue jackets (SuperShuttle) or red jackets (Prime Time). If no representative is available, then flag down a blue van (SuperShuttle) or red van (Prime Time) with a "Pasadena" placard in the windshield. Approximate cost is $25 per person. Approximate time to Pasadena is 1 hour.
The cheapest method to get to Pasadena from LAX is to use the Union Station FlyAway bus and the Metro Gold Line light rail, which is available from 3:40 a.m. to 11:56 p.m. daily. Do not use this method if you have many bags to carry or you do not like to walk long distances. At LAX,stand under the green "FlyAway, Buses and Long-Distance Vans" sign in the center concrete island outside the terminal. Board a blue FlyAway bus heading to Union Station; $7 one way (a 45-minute trip). It is a large charter-style bus and is occasionally not labeled. FlyAway buses operate every half hour, 24 hours a day.
Once you arrive at Union Station, walk behind the ticket counter and proceed down the stairs. Follow the path and enter Union Station on the left. Walk to the Metro Gold Line (yellow signs), which is located at track 1 in Union Station. Inside the track 1 terminal is an automated kiosk for purchasing tickets. Buy a one-way ticket and insert $1.50. Consider a day pass if you will be traveling by Metro again in the same day (note that a day pass is economical only if you will be boarding any Metro service at least four times in one day). Proceed up the stairs to the trains. Be sure to board the northbound (Sierra Madre Villa) trains. The Gold Line stops in Pasadena at Filmore, Del Mar, Memorial Park, Lake, Allen, and Sierra Madre Villa stations. The travel time varies from 30-90 min, depending on rush-hour conditions.
By train
Pasadena is approximately 20 minutes from Union Station in Downtown L.A. via the Metro Gold Line light rail. There are six stops in Pasadena. Filmore is the first stop, Del Mar and Memorial Park stations are located in Old Pasadena on the west end of town, and the final three stops(Lake, Allen, Sierra Madre Villa) are in the median of the 210 Freeway.
Please note that traveling by light rail between LAX and Pasadena will take approximately two hours and requires getting on a FlyAway bus between LAX and Union Station, then traveling to Pasadena on the Gold line.
By bus
Greyhound Lines [61] serves Pasadena at 645 E. Walnut Street.
By car
From Downtown L.A. or other southern cities take the 110 freeway north until it ends. The 110 freeway ends at the south end of Pasadena. From the east and west Pasadena can be reached via Interstate 210. California Highway 134 East is the most direct way from Glendale and Burbank.
Get around
By train
The Metro Gold Line [62] serves the Arroyo Seco Parkway, Old Pasadena, and East Pasadena. Visitors can take it to connect to other Los Angeles-area rail lines or Amtrak.
By bus
Pasadena is primarily served by the county-wide Metro [63] and the local Pasadena ARTS [64] network. Additional (mostly commuter) service is available from Foothill Transit [65], Montebello Bus Lines [66], and LADOT [67].
Metro's 780 Rapid bus goes from Pasadena to visitor-oriented areas of Hollywood--it's an (often interesting) ride that takes about an hour.
By foot
Pasadena as a whole is large enough to require use of a car or public transit, but it is a very pedestrian-friendly city. Many hotels and motels are located within easy walking distance of major shopping and entertainment areas like Old Pasadena, the Playhouse District and South Lake Avenue.
The San Gabriel mountains above Pasadena offer some excellent hiking opportunities. Of specific interest are some of the hikes along along the abandoned Mount Lowe Railway in the Angeles National Forest. You can pass the site of the White City, Echo Mountain, the site of an old observatory, and Inspiration Point. Start at the northern end of Lake Avenue.
Old Pasadena and the Playhouse district have a number of theater and movie houses and are a good place to see some of the latest independent or foreign films.
Pasadena has a wide range of hotels to accommodate all budgets. The full-service hotels tend to cluster around downtown Pasadena, which provides ready access to shops, restaurants, and entertainment. Pasadena also has motels in the eastern part of the city, some of which are along the Rose Parade route.
Stay safe
Much of the city of Pasadena is inhabited by students, professors, scientists, and many other kinds of professionals, and is generally very safe. During your visit, you will probably need to take only basic precautions against petty pickpocketing or purse snatching (as you should anywhere in the Southland, or in big cities in general). On most days, Old Town Pasadena is normally busy with diners, shoppers, and party-goers well past 11 p.m.
However, Pasadena does have a crime-ridden area to the north and west of Interstate 210.
Get out
Drive to the northern end of Lake Avenue for a spectacular view of the San Gabriel valley.
During Christmas time, see amazing light displays at: 1) the Balian House at about 2000 N. Allen and 2) Hastings Ranch (go north on Michillinda, about one mile past Sierra Madre Blvd. and make a left -- about a square-mile of residents in the area decorate their properties!).
Enter the Eaton Canyon nature preserve at the intersection of Altadena and New York. Great hiking, and during the spring, a pretty good river to hike next to. Go far enough up and you will get to a waterfall that is well-known to locals.
Take the Metro Gold Line south to downtown Los Angeles.
Nearby Alhambra, San Gabriel, and Monterey Park are home to some of the largest Chinese-speaking populations outside China and Taiwan. There you will find authentic restaurants specializing in dim sum, dumplings, roasted duck, and many other regional Chinese and Taiwanese cuisine. A visit to any large Chinese supermarkets in the area might be a treat (or shock) for the uninitiated.

Recently on the Windows Phone Central Podcast we were lamenting how Nokia Maps leaves a lot to be desired on Windows Phone 8. The app is a bit slow, the UI is not as intuitive and some of the information (like traffic) is hit or miss. Most people would suggest using Bing Maps (aka the native Maps application) instead but unfortunately, Nokia has removed the hard link for that app leaving users no choice on Windows Phone 8 Lumias.
While there have been some half measures to fix this by pinning tiles to your screen of your contact's address or using Local Scout—neither felt satisfactory. Luckily, the best method has just come forward: install the hard link for Bing Maps. The app, surprisingly enough, is in the Windows Phone Store and comes from developer Mohammed Adenwala. That means Lumia users can just go and download the link and the Maps will be back on their phone (technically, they've always been there, they have just been hidden). Everything is there, including the ability to download offline-mapping data, making this truly the ideal situation.
We have full faith that Nokia will eventually make Nokia Maps a killer solution, but right now for many of us Bing Maps is still preferred. Regardless of your choice, the real important message here is choice and we like having the option for either mapping system. Clearly Nokia limited access to Bing Maps to reduce redundancy on the device, a noble gesture, but ironically it's the one area where they still need some work.
You can pick up Maps here in the Windows Phone Store for no charge.

GALVESTON, HOUSTON, DOGEN and BUDDHIST CLERGY
I've just returned from three days of gallavanting in Galveston, Texas. There was lots of sun, lots of surf, lots of camping equipment. My sister and her husband bought themselves an RV and parked down there at an RV park.
Before that I was at the Houston Zen Center with the incredible Gaelyn Godwin. I gave two talks in one day, something I usually try to avoid. The first talk, at around 10 am was about Dogen's statement that:
"Although realization is not like any of the thoughts preceding it, this is not because such thoughts were actually bad and could not be realization. Past thoughts in themselves were already realization. But since you were seeking elsewhere, you thought and said that thoughts cannot be realization. However, it is worth noticing that what you think one way or another is not a help for realization. Then you are cautious not to be small-minded. If realization came forth by the power of your prior thoughts, it would not be trustworthy. Realization does not depend on thoughts, but comes forth far beyond them. Realization is helped only by the power of realization itself. Know that then there is no delusion and there is no realization."
This comes from Kaz Tanahashi's translation. The rest of this passage can be found here. That is, if I didn't mess up the link. Nishijima Roshi's translation is a bit better. But I don't have a link for that, unfortunately.
I recorded the talk and maybe one of these days it'll end up in a podcast. Is anyone listening to these? I think John Graves is doing a tremendous job with them.
The second talk was about my growing feeling that perhaps we really don't need Buddhist clergy anymore -- if we ever did in the first place. The talk was partly based on an article called Church Without Clergy. This article examines the problem of clergy from the Protestant Christian perspective. But most of what the author says could be applied to Buddhism as well.
A lot has been written in books like Scott Edelstein's Sex and the Spiritual Teacher: Why It Happens, When It's a Problem, and What We All Can Do and even my own latest book Sex, Sin, and Zen: A Buddhist Exploration of Sex from Celibacy to Polyamory and Everything in Between about the problem of power differential when so-called "spiritual teachers" have sex with so-called "students." I got into a conversation recently with my first Zen teacher about this. And during the conversation the idea emerged (I can't recall from which of us, probably from him) that perhaps the problem is not how to deal with this power differential, but that there is any power differential at all involved. It does not need to be that way. This is a problem that goes far beyond any considerations of student/teacher sex and into the entire structure of Buddhist clergy.
It's a big topic and I've been trying hard to write an article about it. So far I have failed miserably. So you won't be reading that one today. But I think it's a very important subject.
I recorded that talk too. And maybe one of these days it will also end up in a podcast.
I also got to spend some time with my friend Christine Buckley. She writes a blog called Seeking Shama that is very good and wonderful and great. I keep forgetting to plug it here. Sorry Christine!
We ate ice cream and looked at bad art.

BUDDHIST GEEKS INTERVIEW and JOIN US
They put up the last part of my interview on Buddhist Geeks. So go give it a listen if you're into that sort of thing. I listened and did not puke, as is my usual reaction to my own interviews.
I've been going to the LA Film Festival this week. It's sorta kinda related to my "real job." But mainly I'm just watching the movies that seem most interesting. So far I've seen Escape From LA, a trash classic in which Kurt Russell escapes from Los Angeles, which, according to the film, was turned into a penal colony in 1998 after a fascist religious nut president got himself elected ruler for life. I had no idea. I was in Japan in 1998, so I guess I never heard about this and the people I know around here now don't seem to like to talk about it. When I think how this town operates, though, it kinda makes sense now...
I tried to get tickets to the Transformers premier tonight, but they were all gone and even the connection I have at Micahel Bay's office proved useless. But there's still a slim chance I'll get in one way or another.
On Monday I saw a very interesting film called Join Us. It's a documentary about a religious cult in South Carolina. According to the movie, the new brand of cult is not a giant international organization like the Moonies or Scientology. What's more common these days is little cults you never hear about in rural areas. The film follows the fall of one of these, a fire and brimstone Christian cult led by a charismatic German immigrant named Raimund Melz.
I'm gonna try to work up a review of the film for my next Suicide Girls installment. But just very quickly here, whenever I watch a film like this these days I tend to focus on the wrong things. Meaning, I tend to focus on stuff the film makers seem to want to relegate to the background. In this example, the "heroes" of the picture are the brave souls who got out of the cult and taught their bretheren inside what an insidious organization they were participating in, eventually succeeding in toppling the church. The "villains" of the piece are cult-leader Raimund and his wife.
Me, though, I tended to focus more on Raimund. As the leader of a cult of my own, I can see his side of the story more clearly than I can the side of the supposed heroes of the film. I'm thinking, how can I get my followers to buy me a fleet of sports cars and build me a whole subdivision full of houses for free which I can then rent back to them at inflated prices? How come I gotta pay my own money to rent out the Hill Street Center for retreats and Zazen classes and take a huge loss on the thing every month when only five people show up? What's up with that? Shit, maybe I should charge $185 a session and hypnotize everyone into thinking they've been enlightened by the end of the day like some other Zen Masters do.
NO! NO!! NO!!!!! I am joking. Joking. OK? But seriously, I do see Raimund's side of the story more clearly than his followers' side. I can see exactly how a guy can get sucked into that. Because, unlike what the film-makers seem to want us to believe, the followers of a cult are not simply poor innocent little creatures who get duped by big, bad, dirty, greedy guys. They are generally very manipulative people who desperately want to get duped. Man, I can feel it from people who come and see me sometimes, how they are seriously searching for someone exactly like Raimund, or like Charles Manson, or bin Laden, or Hitler. And they won't stop till they find him or some poor sap like Raimund who they can turn into the corrupt leader they so desire. Of course, it takes two to tango, so the leader has to be a fairly bad guy as well. But he never works as a solo act. Never, ever, ever. Nope. Not even one example. Cuz the solo cult leaders, they're just crazy people yelling on street corners that everyone ignores.
Anyway, I'm gonna spend some more time developing this little thesis and premier it on Suicide Girls this weekend. So forgive me if I steal some of my own words and use it in the piece.

Garlic scapes are a strange thing. First, the name. "Scape" to me, brings to mind "scapegoat", "escape" ... "landscape" maybe. All odd things to associate with a vegetable.
And it's clear they're fairly obscure. Even among New York's food obsessed, cultured throngs, as I selected my scapes from the Union Square Greenmarket, I witnessed a couple wondering aloud how one would even cook the things.
So before proceeding, I've done my homework and will share a little scape lesson with you.
Where is the garlic scape from?
We all know that garlic grows underground. But like scallions, stalks emerge above ground forming loops and topped with little flower-like bulbs. The stalk is the garlic scape. If the stalks are never removed, the traditional wisdom is that the growth of the garlic bulb is inhibited, (though another source has found that leaving the scapes on does not take resources away form the bulbs). In any case, if the tender, green stalks are left, they eventually turn hard and become the papery garlic "skin" that we are familiar with.
Why are garlic scapes available now?
It depends on when farmers grow garlic -- typically either in the late fall or the spring. The garlic planted in the fall will be ready in the spring, and the early spring into the summer. So depending on where you live, scapes may be available from early spring into late summer.
What's with the name, scape?
Very curious, no? It's obscure enough that several online dictionaries had no reference to it. One, however, came through -- it is a botantical term meaning "A leafless flower stalk growing directly from the ground, as in the tulip." You could also call the stalk of an onion a "scape" as well.
Are garlic scapes ... garlic-y?
In short, yes. Though they are certainly milder than garlic cloves. And depending on how they are prepared, they can be hardly garlicky at all.
And for the best part -- how to cook them!
While a popular recipe seems to be garlic scape pesto (which I've never tried), I've found a simple saute to be very nice. I had a side of scape sauteed with some kind of savory, vinegary sauce in a Brooklyn restaurant and they were simply delicious.
AsianSupper user umma's "Manul jjong bokkeum (garlic scape stir fry)" takes a similar approach, sauteeing the scapes with minimal ingredients, and garnishing with sesame seeds. A very mellow dish - everything you want from a side dish, which can be paired with a nice steak or a bowl of rice.
Do you have a great Asian recipe to share? Well then, what are you waiting for -- share it!

Here at Cupid.com, we know that most single men and single women are not interested in spending hours upon hours filling out questionnaires and surveys.

The main way to find out if you are really meant to be someone is by talking to them.
At Cupid.com, we allow you to talk to many different people in order to find the right person for you. Relationships are complicated, and questions without any kind of context cannot tell you all you need to know about a person. Having a lot of things in common can be important, but it is not enough to justify the monotony of filling out hundreds of pages of questions.

How to Get Started with Online Dating?
If you want to start to date singles today, it is time to get started with dating online. Setting up an online profile is easy. When you are filling out your profile information, make sure to be completely honest about yourself. Your goal is to meet a lot of people, so the people reading your profile will find out eventually that you are lying.
You should never attempt to trick someone into meeting you by using deception. The results of lying will never work out in your favor. Use a recent picture of yourself. It is natural to want to pick the most flattering picture of yourself, but make sure that it is at least an accurate representation of what you currently look like.
It is time to start sending messages to people in your area! Be original. If you just copy and paste the same message to every person you want to talk to, it will be obvious that you did not take a particular interest in them. Sending the personalized messages will make you seem more interested in each person and give you a much better chance of getting a response.
Don't be afraid to let your true personality shine through. The person wants to know the real you in order to see if you might be compatible. Ask questions to get to know the other person and find out if you are truly interested.
