How to Be Mindful at a Wedding

Staying mindful can connect you with the people around you, and can help you feel the love.

I am not trying to plan a wedding.

There are things that need to be decided and discussed in person.

Let us take the wedding from probability to certainty.

Sooner is better.     As soon as you can is best.

Pizza Without a Crust

New and classic recipes for fall, plus a no-recipe recipe for baked tomato sauce and cheese, to mop up with bread.

Easily done.

Video: Gay and in Love at an Evangelical College

What do you do when your relationship conflicts with your religion?

Sooner is better.    As soon as you can is best.

When the Revolution Came for Amy Cuddy

As a young social psychologist, she played by the rules and won big: an influential study, a viral TED talk, a prestigious job at Harvard. Then, suddenly, the rules changed.

Science is about knowing the facts.
Academia is about social status.
The two often conflict.
Orthodoxy is the universe of academia.

I will follow the results of the scientific method.

I do not respect academic practice.

Google Maps Pulls Calorie-Counting Feature After Criticism

The app told users how many calories they would burn by walking instead of driving, but was criticized as dangerous to people with eating disorders.

The app is silly.  Pulling it is also silly.

One cannot protect people from themselves.

A Diabetes Monitor That Spares the Fingers

The device helps me control my glucose without pricking my fingers to test drops of blood. I buy it overseas, but it’s coming to America.

OK
