He was one of the most-successful amateur boxers of his era as a teenager, but succumbed to the lure of the street life, got busted for cocaine trafficking, and spent five years in a penitentiary.
When Wilkins Santiago was released, he was a better person and a vastly different fighter -- qualities he plans to use to propel him to a world championship.
In this amazing, in-depth interview, Santiago talks about the street, the penitentiary, the gym, and the future. Enjoy this astonishing conversation from our Dec. 26, 2010 editon of The Ringside Boxing Show.

Yuan Depreciation Is Deeper Than You Think
The U.S. Treasury is up in arms about China's move to devalue the yuan, which the Treasury folks, in a semiannual report, called "unprecedented." That may be an overstatement intended to put pressure on China to reverse course and start the yuan appreciating again.
But guess what? The yuan depreciation this year is probably steeper than you think.
Since the beginning of the year, the yuan has depreciated 2.8% against the dollar-- a number that's been widely used. But that's in "nominal" terms, meaning the number doesn't account for the different levels of inflation in the U.S. and China. When factoring in inflation, calculates Brookings Institution researcher Karim Foda, the yuan has actually fallen 3.2% over the same time period.
Before 2014, when the yuan was was steadily climbing in value against the dollar, factoring in inflation tended to magnify the appreciation. That's because inflation in China was higher than in the U.S. But now the reverse has occurred, says Mr. Foda, and U.S. inflation has moved higher than China's. The result: the real – that is inflation-adjusted—fall in the yuan is steeper.
Here are Mr. Foda's calculations:
Why does inflation make so much difference? If there is higher inflation in the U.S. than China, it takes more yuan to buy the same number of U.S. goods. Hence the yuan is worth less.
Mr. Foda's inflation calculations look at how much consumer prices have grown in the U.S. and China between December 2013 and March 2014, and then compares the two.
Now look at some earlier calculations Mr. Foda did, when he was helping China Real Time figure out how much the yuan had risen in value against the dollar since June 2010, when China allowed the yuan to move somewhat freely against the greenback. Back then, U.S. inflation topped China's:
Inflation makes a big difference, but it's rarely part of the public discourse about the yuan.

They do!! But I found that I need a stronger reed in the chanter (Henriquez is just fine) so the drones don't overwhelm the chanterchaotikend wrote:I like the two tenor drones! Those must make the gaita sound really full. I think a low A or even a G chanter would sound good with drones in C.
Well, I was actually thinking of getting extensions to convert the drones to A as well, but for now there is no money even for the chanter, so, we'll see..

Farnsworth to take over Mets' closing duties
NEW YORK -- They signed him to a Minor League deal with an invitation to Spring Training, and then they released him. They re-signed him, and less than a month later, he's now their closer. Kyle Farnsworth has had an interesting road with the Mets this spring, and he's ready to work the ninth inning.
Farnsworth, a 14-year veteran of the big leagues, was tabbed as the Mets' closer on Sunday morning, replacing fellow veteran and fellow ex-Tiger Jose Valverde as the team's relief ace. Farnsworth has 54 career saves, and the 38-year-old said he's ready to contribute wherever the Mets need him.
"We're all a team here," said Farnsworth of his role change. "We all have the same goal: Try to go out there and win the best we can. I'm not going to change anything I've done, and neither should anybody else. We're in it together. We've got to contribute one way or another to help this team win."
Farnsworth has pitched in 866 big league games over his career, and he's been the final pitcher on the mound for his team in roughly a third of those games (279 times.) The right-hander saved a career-best 25 games for Tampa Bay in 2011, but he has just two saves in the last two seasons.
Still, Farnsworth said that it isn't really anything different to take his stuff to the ninth inning.
"I'm not going to approach it any way different than I've pitched my whole life," he said of closing. "I'm just going to go out there and compete to the best of my ability and go from there."
And as for the crazy trajectory his season has taken? Farnsworth was released by the Mets on March 23 and re-signed on the 26th, and he broke Spring Training with the club. Now, barely two weeks into the season, the reliever is suddenly set to work the most important innings.
"That's the way baseball is," said Farnsworth. "You've just got to be always grateful you've got a uniform on and take the opportunities that come along and run with them. Just keep on going."

Sir Richard St John Harris (1 October, 1930 – 25 October, 2002) was an Irish actor and singer, who portrayed Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, in the first two film adaptations of the Harry Potter books.
CareerLate in his career, he acted in the Oscar-winning films Unforgiven and Gladiator (in the latter as Marcus Aurelius).
He played Albus Dumbledore in the first two Harry Potter films, that is, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. He at first declined the offer to play Dumbledore; however, upon hearing the news that her grandfather had a very good shot at playing the role, his granddaughter told him that if he did not go back and take the part, she would never speak to him again. And so, he accepted the part. In 2003, his voice could be heard as the character Opaz in the animated film Kaena: The Prophecy. The movie was also dedicated to him as he had died the previous year. In his career, he was nominated for two Best Actor Academy Awards: for This Sporting Life in 1964, and The Field in 1991. He was also an accomplished musician and singer: he released several albums, and his single "MacArthur Park" reached #2 on the American Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Personal life
In 1957, he married Elizabeth Rees-Williams, daughter of David Rees-Williams; they divorced in 1969, and Elizabeth married another actor, Rex Harrison. Their three children are actor Jared Harris, actor Jamie Harris (born Tudor St John Harris, but known as Jamie since childhood), and director Damian Harris (who has a son named Marlowe, born 2002, with Australian actress Peta Wilson). Richard Harris married secondly the American actress Ann Turkel, who was 16 years his junior, but that marriage also ended in divorce. He was a member of the Knights of Malta, despite his divorces, and was also knighted by Denmark in 1985. Harris died of Hodgkin's Disease in 2002 at the age of 72, about two weeks before the U.S. première of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. He would be replaced as Dumbledore by fellow Irish-born actor, Michael Gambon.

Five Finger Death Punch Drummer on Playing for the Troops, Writing Honest Rock
Five Finger Death Punch are known for their heavy grooves and angst-y vocals, but the gents have also earned a good reputation for performing regularly for the U.S. troops overseas. The guys were recently in Iraq, and drummer Jeremy Spencer says it's an experience they wouldn't trade for anything.
"It was incredible," Spencer told the Nervous Breakdown. "We went to Iraq in 2010, as it's the least we can do to give back to those guys, because they're over there sacrificing their family lives and they don't get a lot of entertainment, so they were stoked when we got there. I love everything about it, minus the 20-hour flight each way. But once I shook that off, the shows were great and meeting all the troops was really cool."
He added, "It's something that we'll end up doing again, because we get great feedback and it means a lot to them. It's awfully tough to travel over there, but we like to do it when we can, so maybe we'll be back in another couple years or something."
Five Finger's latest album, 'American Capitalist,' debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart last October. Spencer says the band focused on creating a set of songs that were honest and heartfelt on the album instead of stressing too much about the perfect follow-up.
"I noticed that during the making of 'American Capitalist,' I felt a little pressure because we had just come off two gold records and everyone was watching to see what's the next move. We were really critical on ourselves and I'm really happy with the way it turned out," he said. "We released the first single, 'Under and Over It,' and it was received really well on the radio — top five — and I was a little relieved.
"Now I just look at it as if we write something that's honest and that we believe in, that's all we can control, because the climate in the music industry changes and tastes change and you just have to stick with whatever you like and if you're into it, that's all that matters. Everything else is a bonus."
Five Finger Death Punch headline the Tresspass America Tour this summer, along with a bill including Killswitch Engage, Trivium, Pop Evil, Emmure and God Forbid. Find a list of tour dates here.

The Touloum Refugee Camp, located in Chad on the Sudanese border, houses more than 23,441 Darfur refugees, mainly women and children. After setting up a large solar cooking project in the Iridimi Refugee Camp in Chad for Darfur refugees, the KoZon Foundation, Tchad Solaire, Jewish World Watch, and Solar Cookers International constructed a manufacturing plant and store room in the Touloum Refugee Camp in March of 2007. Currently, about 5,000 women have been trained to use the solar cookers, and 16,000 cookers have been distributed. (See also November 2009 report from onsite visit to the Touloum Refugee Camp.)
In early 2005, solar cooking was introduced to Darfur refugees living in the Iridimi Refugee Camp in Chad by Dr. Derk Rijks of the KoZon Foundation. Jewish World Watch's Solar Cooker Project (SCP) adopted this endeavor in 2006 and has expanded it to provide solar cookers and training to three refugee camps so far.
Replacement cookers are provided for the families, which are made up of 5-7 people per tent, often one woman as the head of household, with up to three of her own children and three orphans.
The area is devoid of vegetation; there is abundant sun and very little rainfall—between 3" and 5" (7.5 - 12.5 cm) yearly. The main food currently distributed is maize meal, a food the refugees commonly eat. It is sometimes accompanied by a maize-soya-meal mixture, if available. The pulse plants most frequently distributed are yellow and red lentils, white and red beans, and sometimes pigeon peas.
It requires cooking for about three hours, depending on the clarity of the sky. The heat from solar cookers is slow and gentle, so while the food stays longer in the pot, it doesn't stick to the walls or need to be regularly stirred, which is an advantage over the potential to burn food with fire. Women can do other things while the food is cooking, without worrying about stirring. Additionally, there isn't the lingering smell of smoke as there is with a fire--therefore, there is less incidence of respiritory illness and eye infections. Solar cookers are also able to be used to pasteurize drinking water, reducing incidence of water-borne diseases especially in children.
The SCP's partners include Solar Cookers International, which provides technical assistance, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) which manages the camps and coordinates NGO activities, and Tchad Solaire ("Solar Chad"), the NGO that runs the SCP on the ground in Chad.
Organizations providing financial support for this project have included: Netherlands Refugee Foundation, Jewish World Watch, as the North American Coordinator of the Project, the Darfur Assistance Project, the Dora Levit Family Fund, and the Hesed Fund. Logistical and communications support from the UNHCR and CARE is invaluable in continuing project operations.
- June 2017: Derk Rijks, a longtime participant in solar cooking projects in refugee camps, reports that there is an ongoing solar cooking project in this camp.
- May 2013: Solar cookers preparing food for 130,000 people daily at the refugee camps in Chad - Derk Rijks, a volunteer with the KoZon Foundation, recently responded to Jewish World Watch with this note of appreciation. "Last week I was at the Touloum Refugee Camp. The chief of the workshop, Fatimé, told me there were new arrivals. We walked over to the last of the dunes and there was one woman who had just walked in with four kids, sitting in the sand. Her village was bombed one week ago, and she had fled to escape the Janjaweed, walking for seven nights. Fatimé looked at me, I nodded, 'yes', and in the next few hours she had her cooker and started her solar cooker training, even before she had a shelter. No words needed, no paper needed. That is the way your contribution works." He also explains that in the six camps where they work in Chad, and in the villages of the population around the camps about 29,000 families now do solar cooking, and about 130,000 people are eating solar cooked meals. In this part of the world solar cooking works about 300 days a year. From the empty bags of the food shipped in by the World Food Programme, and the snippets of aluminum foil and cardboard left over from the manufacture of the cookers, the refugees make "thermos baskets" to keep the food, cooked between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., warm until the evening meal at 5 p.m. or 8 p.m. They do not have to search for wood so much any more and there are far fewer conflicts for that reason. As one of the elected representatives of the women refugees said: "Solar cooking brings us justice and peace".
- January 2012: Jewish World Watch has created a manual that details what has been learned that will assure a successful refugee project: Solar Cooker Project: Best Practices Manual
- July 2011: A Goedhart Film production, TAHA CHAMCHIHA Solar Cooking in the Sahel, documents daily life for the Sudanese refugees living in camps in bordering Chad. Tchad Solaire has trained over 12,000 women in the use of simple solar panel cookers. These CooKits have provided the women additional free time normally spent searching for scarce firewood. Within each camp there is a workshop center where cookers are made for distribution to the other residents. Though the cookers are somewhat fragile, the women have appreciated being involved with the process of making the simple CooKits. The film also shows how the companion Guffah heat-retention cooker baskets are being assembled to use with the panel cookers to keep the food piping hot for dinner served in the early evening.
- June 2009: Wietske Jongbloed reports that all refugee families in the Touloum Refugee Camp now have solar cookers.
- February 2009: Simple Tool That Saves Women's Lives - Parade Magazine
- May 2008: In Touloum Refugee Camp, 5,000 women have been trained in solar cooking, and several thousand await training; 500 women continue to be trained to solar cook each month. Forty refugee women work part-time as auxiliary trainers alongside the Tchad Solaire team. Currently 24 women have been trained as solar cooker assemblers, thus providing the women with a new skill and an opportunity to generate income for their families.
The Benefits of Solar Cooking Edit
- Solar cooking helps reduce the need for frequent firewood collection outside the relative safety of the camp, reducing the risk of violence towards women and girls.
- Two solar cookers can save one ton of wood each year.
- There is no need to tend a fire so women are free to do other tasks while food is cooking.
- The production of the solar cookers provides income-generating opportunities for female refugees.
- Solar cooking, as part of an integrated cooking method, reduces the amount of wood necessary for cooking, helping to alleviate tensions between the refugees and locals, whose already slim wood supply was suddenly impacted by thousands of refugees.

Fighting two costly wars, massively expanding the federal role in health care and adding trillions of dollars to America's national debt—sounds like President George W. Bush, right? Well, it does describe Bush's policies, but unfortunately, it also describes President Obama's track record more than a year into his presidency.
These massive interventions at home and abroad made Bush a terrible president. Engaging in the same policies has taken Obama's job-approval ratings from stratospheric highs to worrying lows.
Is there a road map for success for Obama? As a nonpartisan advocate for smaller government, I submit that he should carefully consider the presidency of Bill Clinton as a model. Clinton's government takeover of health care failed in Congress and among the American public. While Obama may have "succeeded" in pushing his health care plan through Congress, this is likely the high-water mark of his presidency in terms of legislative accomplishments. He has spent a great deal of his political capital to achieve what reform's ultimate supporters—such as Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH)—admit is a "bad bill."
Engaging in the same policies has taken Obama's job-approval ratings from stratospheric highs to worrying lows.
In just over one year, the political zeitgeist has gone from frustration with Bush and willingness to embrace vaguely defined notions of "hope and change" to fear that the federal government is going to expand unchecked while spending us into the poorhouse. Obama's "success" on health care further aligns him with Bush. After all, it was Bush who passed the government-
If he is going to turn his presidency around and get re-elected, Obama needs to change his ways. He can start by putting the clamps on spending. Bush presided over a $2.5 trillion increase in the public debt through 2008. Setting aside 2009 (for which Bush and Obama share responsibility for an additional $2.6 trillion in public debt), Obama's budget would add $4.9 trillion in public debt from the beginning of 2010 through 2016, according to Brian Riedl at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.
The best way to measure the true size of the federal government's fiscal health (or lack thereof) is to compare indebtedness to the size of the overall economy. After all, debt that would cause a small country to go bankrupt is less of a problem for a big country with a robust economy. So, it is worth noting that the national debt under President Bush rose from 57.3 percent of the GDP to 69.2 percent when he left office. That's a dramatic increase, but under Obama the debt has already jumped to an astounding 100.8 percent. Under Clinton, on the other hand, the national debt as a percentage of GDP dropped from 64.1 percent to the 57.3 percent it was when Bush started out.
If he is going to turn his presidency around and get re-elected, Obama needs to change his ways.
Clinton's positive track record does not stop there. He also compromised with Republicans to reform America's broken welfare system. As Douglas J. Besharov and Peter Germanis of the Welfare Reform Academy pointed out, this led to dramatic drops in welfare rolls nationwide. Many poor Americans got jobs and improved their skills and education, rather than continuing to receive welfare checks.
Obama should take a cue from Clinton by working with his Republican opponents on Medicare and Social Security entitlements, which are eating up more of the federal budget with every year that goes by. According to the 2009 Social Security and Medicare Trustees Reports, the combined unfunded liability of these two programs has reached nearly $107 trillion. That is about seven times the size of the U.S. economy and 10 times the size of the outstanding national debt.
If Obama succeeds in rehabbing Social Security and Medicare he'll rightfully be a hero to the left. After all, unchecked, an ever-greater portion of the federal budget will be consumed by entitlements, thus leaving fewer dollars left over to solve society's other ills.
Only time will tell which presidential model Obama will follow. So far, it looks like he is intent on pushing to expand the federal government on all fronts at his (and his party's) electoral peril. For the good of the country, I hope Obama takes a close look at Clinton's presidency and embraces the possibilities it offers in terms of a more responsible federal budget.

, the 17th-century capital of Suriname, is graced with attractive Dutch, French, Spanish and British colonial architecture. Imposing brick buildings overlook grassy squares and wooden houses crowd narrow streets. Towering palms shade some areas and mangroves still hug the riverside. Mosques and synagogues sit side by side, while Javanese vendors peddle satay and Dutch-speaking Creoles guzzle beer at sidewalk cafes. Central Paramaribo's focus is the Onafhankelijksplein (Unity Square), fronting the Presidential Palace. Immediately behind the palace is the Palmentuin, an attractive park with tall palms inhabited by tropical birds. To the east is Fort Zeelandia, a 17-century riverside fortification used for the detention and torture of political prisoners after the coup of 1980. The main market is found on the riverside boulevard, Waterkrant, and ferries for Meerzog, on the other side of the river, leave from nearby. Suriname is reachable by plane from Amsterdam (The Netherlands), Curacao (Dutch Antilles), Miami (Florida, USA), Port of Spain (Trinidad), Cayenne (French Guiana) and sporadically from some cities in Brasil (e.g. Belem). Reservations for these flights should be made as early as possible since they are quite popular!
Suriname (formerly Dutch Guyana) is a small Republic on the Northeast coast of South America. The people are a multi-cultural blend and the land has many beautiful natural resources that make it unique. It is not unusual to see monkeys traversing the trees and boa constrictors crossing the various roads that are traveled daily. The Amazonian interior is unspoiled and sparsely inhabited. The official language of Suriname is Dutch. A reasonable number of people also speak English. Surinamese children are taught English in primary school starting in the seventh grade. The lingua franca in Suriname is Sranan Tongo. This is a creole language spoken by almost everyone. Suriname's national anthem is written in Sranan Tongo.

It's so interesting what professional makeup and styling does, because you always look beautiful but in these shots I'm not sure I'd have recognized you as you right away. Fun adventure though.
you definitely rocked the modeling part!!!
The professional styling made you unrecognizable but I'm glad you have this blog and we can see the real you....
Your eyes POP. So pretty :)
Eat Cake
Stunning. Period.
You are so adorable!
Amazing!!! What a great experience!
Sydney, thank you for being such a great example of modest style. I'm so grateful to have your blog as a resource! Yesterday I read your post (from a long time ago) about finding your personal style and 1) have added Alexandra Stoddard's book to my list of must-reads, and 2) was so reassured by the fact that you weren't just born with incredible fashion sense--you have to work at it just like the rest of us. This was a total breath of fresh air for me, because I often get in the habit of thinking that if it doesn't come easily, I should just give up. Since I had my first little baby four months ago, I've gone through a major style crisis. Sweatpants are just too easy to put on in the morning! But you have helped me remember how important it is to feel beautiful--yes, emotionally but also physically.
So thank you for pursuing elegant, up-to-date style that also covers your body. You're a great example to thousands of women. That must feel so good!
Those floral trousers are actually really beautiful

Rumor Time
Baseball's trading deadline is right around the corner, 4:00 p.m. (EDT) on Monday, July 31.
Be prepared for all kinds of rumors, some legit and most far out. Newspapers, radio, TV and websites will be exploding with rumors. You'll read and hear, "according to a source," so-and-so will be traded for so-and-so. Love those unidentified sources.
Unlike other professional sports, baseball's trading deadline means a ton of news, which is a plus for the sport. There is never this kind of frenzy in the NBA, NFL or NHL. Perhaps baseball is still the national pastime and not past its time as some experts would claim.
Some teams are looking to add offense. Most are looking for pitching, both starters and relievers.
Pitching is still the name of the game. Teams win with pitching. Look no further than the Detroit Tigers in the American League and the New York Mets in the National League, leaders of their respective divisions.
The Tigers' emergence from 12 seasons of losing baseball can be traced to the mound. In 2005, their 4.51 ERA ranked 8th in the AL. The staff totaled two shutouts. This year, the Tigers have the best ERA in the majors (3.56) and lead all teams with 12 shutouts. No other team has an ERA under 4.00.
The Mets lead the NL with a 4.10 staff ERA.
A year ago, the top two ERAs in the NL belonged to St. Louis (3.49) and Houston (3.51). The Astros went all the way to the World Series where they fell to the Chicago White Sox, who shared the AL ERA lead a year ago (3.61).
Starting pitching carried the White Sox to the World Championship. Strangely, this year four of their five returning starters have ERAs over 4.40 which is one reason they are looking up at the Tigers in the AL Central Division standings.
With so many teams looking for pitching, it is rather obvious that there is a scarcity of arms. It has been that way for a long time, just not a current theme.
A check of all pitchers reveals there are a total of 23 who have won 10 or more games. That isn't a large number considering there are 30 teams and we are beyond the halfway point of a 162-game season.
For further evidence on the scarcity of pitching just check the disabled lists in the majors. Going into this week, a total of 86 pitchers were on the DL. Granted some of them probably wouldn't be in the majors if they were healthy but 86 is still a big number.
Get ready for another wild rumor ride filled with analysts analyzing anything and everything.

Bolivia is expected to pass the world's first comprehensive law to protect the rights of nature, granting all nature equal rights to humans. According to The Guardian, the new "Law of Mother Earth" would lead to "radical new conservation and social measures" designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and pollution, and hem in "mega-projects." Nature would get 11 new rights, including the "right to life and to exist; the right to continue vital cycles and processes free from human alteration; the right to pure water and clean air; the right to balance; the right not to be polluted; and the right to not have cellular structure modified or genetically altered." Lastly, nature would also be protected from being "affected by mega-infrastructure and development projects that affect the balance of ecosystems and the local inhabitant communities."
The Guardian says the new law has been influenced by a "a resurgent indigenous Andean spiritual world view which places the environment and the earth deity known as the Pachamama at the centre of all life." The law is also part of a complete rethink of the Bolivian legal system, which resulted from constitutional change in 2009. If enacted, the government will create a new "ministry of mother earth" and appoint an ombudsman. Communities will also have "new legal powers to monitor and control polluting industries."
The law may be a backlash against the widespread environmental damage caused by tin, silver, and gold mining industries. Undarico Pinto, leader of the Confederación Sindical Única de Trabajadores Campesinos de Bolivia, a 3.5-million member social movement, helped draft the law in an effort to improve Bolivia's legal weapons against pollution from firms digging up and processing these minerals. He told The Guardian: "it will make industry more transparent. It will allow people to regulate industry at national, regional and local levels."
Balancing the needs of nature and local indigenous peoples along with the demands of macro-economic development will be tricky. Mining leads to heavy water and air pollution, degrading ecosystems and creating health issues for affected local populations. However, the country earns $500m (£305m) a year from mining companies, which equals one third of the country's foreign currency. To make the situation more challenging for Bolivia, climate change will soon have a direct impact on the lives residents there given that most of the country's glaciers are expected to melt within 20 years, leaving much of the population of La Paz without drinking water. The country's leaders are gearing for mass migration.
Wired magazine notes that the idea of protecting the rights of nature has also been bandied around in the U.S. As early as the 1970's, one law professor introduced the idea that nature could be legally treated as a person, just as a ship or a company is. Building on this idea, Bolivia may begin to associate values beyond spiritual to these core rights of nature. Just as when a person who has an intrinsic set of rights has been injured, they are expected to receive a settlement for any loss or damages, nature (and its beneficiaries among the Bolivian people) could be reimbursed for any ecological damage in the future. The concept of ecosystem services could be used to provide an important economic framework to help Bolivians preserve, manage, and sustainably use nature's benefits, and establish the financial value of these rights of nature.
Over the long-term, the key may be to move the economy towards more sustainable economic activities and invest in training so more Bolivians can join greener industries. Following through with new, more stringent laws that specifically take aim at industries that pollute or destroy the environment will also be needed.
In other news, The Economist put the Anthropocene, a concept long-discussed among scientists, on its cover. The idea is that humans in a relatively short time frame (if considered in terms of the history of the planet) have actually altered core planetary functions. "From their trawlers scraping the floors of the seas to their dams impounding sediment by the gigatonne, from their stripping of forests to their irrigation of farms, from their mile-deep mines to their melting of glaciers, humans are bringing about an age of planetary change."

During the school year we have flexible yet busy schedule.
9-12 school, bible study, math, reading, writing(journal) in what ever order they choose.
1-2pm take my son to his sped classes, at the school
Afternoon, chores, playtime, science, history
After dinner, handwriting for fun and reading
This is a "normal day" but we often have banking to do, library trips, and other errands that get squeezed in. I started the year in Sept with very unrealistic goals, of how school should be, then realized that I had options. I didn't have to do what the school did, I can teach my children the best way they learn. Even if it is sitting in the truck listening to tapes! I love the freedom of homeschooling, and my children do to!
Our flexible day:
Describe your average homeschool day and give new homeschoolers an idea of what to expect!

Richmond Identities: Extraordinary Lives | Ordinary People
Richmond, California (PRWEB) June 20, 2013
A new Neighborhood Public Art mural will be installed on the Richmond Senior Center, 2525 Macdonald near the Library.
The mural, a five-part history of the city, was painted by renowned artist, Judy Baca. The theme came from a series of Richmond community workshops where participants contributed family pictures, artifacts and stories. It begins with the Native Americans, travels through the land grants, railroads, and shipyards, and ends with scenes from the present into the future.
The artwork was initially painted on canvas. Then, it was digitally photographed and printed onto a biodegradable vinyl material for outdoor environments. The vinyl will be adhered to the wall with acrylic gel adhesive in a technique called marouflage. Installation should take 2-3 days.
The artwork will be 9 ½ feet off the ground, and measures 10' high by 60' long. The lettering for the Richmond Senior Center will be moved to the west side of the doorway on Macdonald to make room for the mural.

I've recently changed up my Instagram theme, opting for something a little darker, bluer and cooler. I've never really thought that much about my feed, just posting what I wanted when I felt like it but for some reason I've recently been drawn to more curated feeds featuring beautiful, well thought out imagery and I wanted to give it a go.
For my Instagram "theme" I went for a dark theme mixed with some clean whites and very cool toned images. I look out for blue things to photograph a lot to keep the look coherant and flowing nicely. Im really happy with it anyway! It's a bit different from the usual bright or white themes going round at the moment! Anyway I show you through the process of editing my instagram photos in my mid week video! Hope you enjoy!

OAKWOOD BEACH, N.Y. — They were found hugging, a former Marine and his blue-eyed son, buried under the wreckage of the home they had hoped to save.
John "Flip" Filipowicz and 20-year-old John Jr. had defied orders to evacuate as Hurricane Sandy approached Monday, determined to pump water out of their basement. But the massive tidal surge and raging floodwaters crushed the foundation, and a wall of concrete collapsed on them.
Police discovered the pair the next day, their arms wrapped around each other. They lay amid the wreckage of this working-class neighborhood of firemen and cops, postal workers and corrections officers, on the southern lip of Staten Island, the always-forgotten New York City borough that suffered the worst in Sandy's terrible maw.
"They were hugging, and it breaks my heart to think that Flip was telling John, 'I can't save you,' " said their neighbor Sue Somma.
Much of New York is staggering to its feet after the storm, like a giant shaking off an unexpected pummeling. Although hundreds of thousands of people remain without power or working phones, and public transit is still a nightmare, services are slowly coming back in Manhattan, and offices and shops are tentatively reopening their doors. Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg even announced that the annual New York City marathon, the world's largest, will take place as scheduled Sunday.
But the hardest-hit communities, like this one, are struggling with desperate heartache and irreplaceable loss.
At least 19 of the city's 40 storm-related fatalities were in Staten Island's evacuation zones, close-knit communities like Oakwood Beach, Midland Beach, South Beach and Tottenville, the same towns that lost so many first responders who rushed to the rescue during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the World Trade Center across the harbor.
The dead included an 80-year-old woman, Beatrice Spagnuolo, and 13-year-old Angela Dresch, an eighth-grader who was washed out of her home by a monster wave, her body found a block away. Also killed was Artur Kasprzak, an off-duty New York police officer, who guided seven members of his family to safety in the attic as the waters rose.
"Officer Kasprzak then turned to one of the women and told her he was going to check the basement but would be right back," the NYPD said in a statement. He never returned, and his body was found the next day. Police believe he was electrocuted when live wires touched the floodwaters.
On Thursday, police recovered the bodies of two more local victims, Connor and Brendan Moore, aged 4 and 2. Their mother, Glenda, told police she had tried to escape the storm in her Ford Explorer after losing power at home, but it stalled in a maelstrom, and the two toddlers were ripped from her arms as she tried to escape on foot. She is a nurse, her husband a sanitation worker.
With more than a dozen others still reported missing, police helicopters rattled overhead Thursday searching for bodies and survivors, as rescuers combed through mounds of rubble.
Most of the victims had ignored orders to leave because they couldn't fathom Sandy's size and power, city officials said. Hurricane Irene didn't live up to its ferocious billing last summer, so some apparently tried to ride out Sandy's brutal 90-mph winds by sheltering in their basements.
They were trapped as floodwaters raced in, first knee-deep, then waist-deep, then 10 feet deep in some places. Giant waves knocked homes off their foundations, and sent cars and rooftops floating away.
"No one believed it would be as devastating as it was," said Staten Island Dist. Atty. Dan Donovan, who visited the area Thursday.
On Fox Beach Avenue, a bouquet of flowers lay outside the flood-ravaged home of Leonard Montalto, 53. He drowned in his basement after he went to check his water pump.
Neighbors who searched for Montalto the next day broke the basement windows and peered inside. All they could see was inky water and debris. Rescue divers swam in on Wednesday and found the body.
Neighbors said Montalto, a genial U.S. Postal Service worker who delivered the local paper and collected Beanie Babies, had lived in the single-story home since he was a boy. One of his three daughters, Nicole, was with him as the storm approached, but he ordered her to leave in his car shortly after 7 p.m., when the water began to rise.
Later that night, Montalto called his daughter to say it was good she got out. It was the last anyone heard from him.
A neighbor, Sebastian Stankiewicz, said he drove by about 7 p.m. and saw just a few inches of water on the street. By the time he had turned his car around and returned home, about 500 yards away, the water was knee-deep and rising fast. He and his wife were barely able to drive away.
"It was so fast," said Stankiewicz, who stood in his waterlogged backyard. Sodden clothes hung from a line near muddy toys on the ground.
The sorrow was leavened by tales of survival. A few doors down, Frank Langello rushed up to his attic as the water rose. He carried a cat and four dogs, including a 110-pound Weimaraner. Langello had an inflatable raft but realized it wouldn't survive the rushing water, especially with nervous animals. So he sat for hours with Doritos and bottles of water and waited.
Finally, well after midnight, a neighbor paddled over in a metal fishing boat that he had found floating nearby. Leaving the cat, Langello jumped in with the dogs. Neighbors who'd been trapped in other homes climbed in as well, and they rowed themselves to higher ground in the rain and wind. Langello returned the next day to find the cat unscathed.
Filipowicz, a 51-year-old former corrections officer, had sent his wife, daughter and another son — John Jr.'s twin — to take refuge with relatives. Somma, the neighbor, described the former Marine as "a survivor" who probably planned to drink a few beers with John Jr., who worked at Burger King, while the hurricane raged outside.
The next day, Somma said, she and her husband saw a 20-foot-wide hole where the concrete foundation had caved into the basement.
Friends had placed flowers on the front steps, along with pictures of a smiling John Jr. with a long arm around his sturdily built father. One friend had signed a message: "R.I.P. Flip. Only the good die young."


text: This week the Aquarium is celebrating the birthday of our very first sloth baby! Baby Howie, a Linne's Two-toed Sloth was born on exhibit in the Upland Tropical Rainforest on September 2, 2008. His parents, Rose and Syd as well as another adult female sloth, Ivy, have remained on exhibit with Howie as he has grown over the last year. At birth Linne's Sloths weigh only 1 pound and are born with their eyes opened, claws intact and fully furred. They hold tight to their mothers and rely on them for warmth, security and milk for approximately one year. By this age, the baby sloth is normally a whopping 5 pounds and ready to venture out on its own. Howie and Rose parted ways right on schedule on August 31, just 2 days shy of his first birthday. Here is a picture of Howie and Rose, just days before they parted ways: Howie can often be seen napping or enjoying his diet of zucchini, squash and grapes. Because the sloths live nestled in the rainforest trees, they are hard to spot! During your next visit to the Aquarium's rainforest be sure ask an exhibit guide to help you find Howie and the other sloths. In lieu of presents, you can TXT the word ACT to 20222 to give Howie a gift! Your $5 donation will support the care and feeding of Howie and his 16,000 friends at the Aquarium.
