How to make natural baby foods instead of using gerber or other factory made baby foods. For young babies after 4 months old--slowly introduce the food to see if baby digest the food correctly. This is after feeding them the baby cereal phase: Make sure you blend the food really well so that there are no clumps.

That's why they call it Riding the Ox Backwards from the No-self (Nothingness), huh? -
He explains the difference between the paranormal and the no-self, and saying that the paranormal isn't the deepest. The gaki was mentioned in the beginning.

@Lorcan See, I love music and arts. I posted a few green songs too. From the lyrics, I know they are clearly green. That's why I didn't put them here. Why did that robot guy die in the end? He put a flower in himself. Did that cause his death? Is nature (ecology) about to take over the world? Some plants in this world are considered spiritual. When they bloom, they can indicate something. For example, the Brahma Kamal Flower of the Himalayas is considered to be an auspicious flower. His performance is awesome--combo of multiple talents.

One thing though, it's your choice to go for it or not. Belle's cousin went for it. She had the choice not to. Her family isn't dysfunctional and forcing her, so it is possible to get a good one through that method. If her family was dysfunctional, then I would "sigh." I have met a girl in real life, who asked for an arranged marriage from her mom and dad because she got along with them very well. Her mom was surprised that she wanted that. Her reason is because her parents had more experience in life and relationships. So far, she's been married for 10 yrs with two kids. Her husband isn't dogmatic. Her case isn't unique. (All in all, you're free to have your own opinions on this.)

I would like to share something else because this was such a good movie. Lord Mansfield, in real life, had the authority to abolish slavery by just signing it into law. And, so he did just that, and that ended slavery in the UK. Unfortunately, Lincoln was assassinated, by the opposition, for abolishing slavery and uniting the US. The guy who killed Lincoln was pro-slavery and supported the confederate states. US had to go through a Civil War to abolish slavery and for the US to be united. UK didn't. However, Gandhi made India an independent country. He was not assassinated for this reason. Gandhi was assassinated because he was responsible for dividing India into India and Pakistan. And, the guy who killed him was supporting him, and he was of the same "religion" as Gandhi. The split that Gandhi did reminds me of Mahabharata. Bhishma, the great sage and warrior and the son of Ganga, was so upset that Prince Duryodhana divided Hastinapur in half because Duryodhana only wanted to be the king. He was not the crown prince and only did that to become king. The other half was ruled by his cousin Prince Arjun, a great warrior. And, the land ruled by Arjun was far more developed than the one ruled by Duryodhana. Then, Duryodhana wanted the land back.

Great painting of Belle and her cousin. What I noticed in the movie was, no one wanted to marry Belle's cousin in the end, so Belle supported her cousin's arranged marriage by giving her dowry. UK had arranged marriages at the time. The point to this is, just because someone's marriage is arranged, doesn't mean it's at stage blue, and it doesn't mean it stays at stage blue. Arranged marriages are more nuanced than that. Nowadays, most ppl are not familiar with it. When ppl hear about arranged marriages, they may just pass it off as stage blue marriage and don't give it a second thought as to what happens when it's not stage blue.
