I've known my whole life that I wanted to be a mom. In the seventh grade I decided that I would have eight children. (That is SO not happening! I would flush my head right down the toilet!) I had all their names picked out and written on a little piece of notebook paper that I kept stuffed in my nightstand. I changed those kid's last names every time I changed boyfriends. For some reason, in high school, I changed boyfriends like I changed underwear. So those poor imaginary kids that were all named after flowers (I so should have been a teen in the 1970's) had a million different last names. Then when I got to high school, I thought that I would have a whole bunch of kids and still be some big executive. When I graduated from high school, I wanted to be a corporate attorney. I had visions for this huge career. I wanted to have my cake and eat it too.
And then the time in my life came to actually have children. (And go me! I have changed ways since high school and all my kids actually have the same last name! HA!) When I first held Sadie in my arms, I knew that I wanted to be a stay-at-home mom. I threw that big career dream out the window. I was MORE than happy to do that. I wanted to be home with my baby girl. With one child, I have to say, I was an awesome stay-at-home mom. We would spend hours reading books. We did the museums and the zoo and had playdates and did all kinds of enriching things. I kept a clean house, still hosted dinner parties, and had a hot meal on the table just about every night.
Then baby number 2 came along. I still wanted to be a stay-at-home mom. With all the therapy that Noah required, it is a good thing that I was home, too. But so many of the wonderful parts about staying at home were falling by the wayside. We just couldn't seem to get out to the door to do the museums that often. I found it nearly impossible to read a book that would hold both kid's attention. I started having to have hubby bring home Wendy's way more often than I care to admit because I just couldn't get dinner on the table. But I still loved being at home with my children and being the center of their lives. And because I loved what I was doing, I still felt fulfilled not having a "career".
Now that number three is here I am having that "Holy Hell! Why in the world do I want to stay at home?" feeling. I'm starting to feel torn and I wonder if this (staying at home) is really the right thing for me at this point in my life and if I am doing what is best for my children. I know that the most important thing we can give our children is a happy mom. I'm starting to wonder if I just can't hack being a stay-at-home mom anymore and if I'd be happier going back to work. Don't for one second think that I am complaining. I realize just how blessed I am to have the option. I know that there are people out there who would give their left lug nut for the opportunity to stay home with their children.
My dilemma feels complex. If I go back to work, it would be for purely selfish reasons- I just want to go to work, put on high heels, eyeliner, and have adults to speak to that don't live inside my computer. Plus, the income would be nice. But after seven years out of the workforce, would I even be able to find a job? I doubt that putting "blogging" on my resume will count for squat.
I also wonder if going back to work reinforces to my child who is struggling to attach that people will continue to leave him. But I also wonder if I go back to work and I'm not around him all day every day, if he might stop taking out the brunt of his issues on me. But then what if he feels like he doesn't have a punching bag? Will he spontaneously combust? Or will he rip a nanny to shreds? And if I'm not here doing the therapy with the boys, who will do it? (The answer is no one.) Or will I maybe be so happy out in the working world that the rest of my family will feed on my happiness? Will I feel so fulfilled out there doing something outside of these four walls that I will just shoot rainbows out my butt? Will spending less time with my children actually make our relationship better and make me cherish them more? Then the what if's crawl into my head and I worry that the repercussions of what may happen if I go back to work almost feel to lofty to even think about this little experiment.
Then there is the issue of the workload. There will still be the same amount of dinner to make, dishes to wash, laundry to do, homework to complete, therapies to go to, groceries to buy, books to be read and fun to be had that I will be cramming into 3 hours with my kids everyday instead of having the whole day to do it. Working moms deserve a medal. So do stay-at-home moms. (someone give me a freakin' medal!) After weighing the pros and cons for weeks, I just can't make a decision about whether or not to go back to work to try to preserve my sanity. Hell, who am I kidding? I can't even make a decision about what to eat for lunch! Such is life! And thus, the conundrum continues. What's a girl to do?

A water sports and recreation gateway surrounded by palm-lined beaches and rocky bays, Playas del Coco is under an hour from Liberia, Costa Rica's Daniel Oduber Quiros International Aiport (LIR). Your money-saving Playas del Coco holiday rental villa, home, condo, or studio apartment puts you minutes from a large Pacific Ocean fishing fleet supplying seafood for the open-air restaurants and bars. Relax on white sand beaches, or stroll the black sand beach beneath the cliffs at Playa Ocotal. Dive, snorkel, swim, surf, fish, bird-watch, kayak, sail, jet ski, hike, bike, golf, and horseback ride.
Use the money-savings from your Playas del Coco holiday rental to pay for sunset cruises, rainforest canopy and zip-line tours, mud baths, hot springs, and day tours to sea turtle nesting areas and inland volcanoes. Take the whole family on a shopping trip to Liberia, with a break to picnic, sunbathe, and swim at Llanos de Cortez Waterfall. For some excitement, punctuate a leisurely Coribici River rafting trip with a few class II rapids. Tee off along the Pacific Ocean for 18 holes at Playa Conchal's Garra de Leon golf course, enjoying the mountains, parakeets, and howler monkeys.
Boat tours are a good way to survey the mountainous coast line, with its many beaches and mangrove estuaries. Be on the lookout for humpback whales and dolphins as you sail. Swim, snorkel, relax in the sun, and explore the many beaches to the south of your money-saving Playas del Coco holiday rental. Explore the rocky coves around Playa Penca, Playa Preita, and Playa Pan de Azucar (Sugar Beach). Admire the long white sand beach and boats docked at Playa Flamingo. Enjoy a seafood meal and admire the fishing fleet in the crescent-shaped bay around Playa Potrero.
Experienced scuba divers will appreciate viewing the entire food chain from plankton to manta rays and reef sharks. The Bats Islands and Catalinas Islands, 15-20 miles offshore, are renowned for their giant manta rays, cownose rays, eagle rays, and bull sharks. Closer to shore, there are many snorkelling and diving spots where you can potentially see reef sharks, seahorses, octopuses, turtles, and a kaleidoscopic array of puffers, parrotfish, and other coral reef fish. Use some of the money-savings from your Playas del Coco holiday rental to charter a traditional open panga or other fishing boat to catch your dinner of yellowfin tuna, amberjack, snapper, barracuda, or dorado (mahi-mahi). Or catch and release some big jumping black marlin or smaller billfish.

The author tells us that historically the spread and growth of capitalist economies has required low wages, taxation, and environmental costs, as well as a hegemonic nation to prevent international competition from eroding these requirements. With the decline of the economic power of the United States, its current hegemonic role will deteriorate and the unprecedented growth of China will so erode the foundations of capital accumulation—by pushing wages and environmental costs up, for example—that the entire capitalist system will be shaken to its core. This is essential reading for those who still believe that there is no alternative.
Minqi Li has accomplished something different and very important. He has placed the 'Rise of China' from the Mao era to today in the context of the history of the entire world-system. He makes a persuasive case.
A thought-provoking account. Minqi Li considers the consequences of the entry of China into the global capitalist system, in light of the challenges facing human society from economic, political, and environmental constraints. This book makes a major contribution.
University of Massachusetts, Amherst
…an important and significant contribution to the study of China's potential futures and, in terms of [Minqi Li's] analysis of both the Mao period and the nature and sustainability of post-Mao reforms, perhaps an even more important contribution to the study of China's past and present.

Police say robbery not motive in San Francisco jewelry store shooting
A bloodied gunman suspected of killing two women and seriously wounding a man inside a jewelry store at a popular shopping center had visited the store at least once before, and investigators don't believe that robbery was a motive for the attack, police said Saturday.
San Francisco police identified the suspect as 23-year-old Barry White of Antioch.
White was arrested after opening fire on officers Friday afternoon. He's been booked on two counts of murder and seven counts of attempted murder, police said in a statement on Saturday.
Officers encountered him outside the San Francisco Giftcenter & Jewelrymart in the trendy South of Market area. Initially, the officers weren't sure if the man, who had blood on his clothes, was a shooting victim or a suspect. The man then opened fire at officers while retreating into a restaurant, according to police.
"The suspect fired additional multiple rounds at the officers and then, we believe, ran out of ammunition, threw the gun on the ground and surrendered," police Chief Greg Suhr said on Friday.
Officers didn't return fire because the sidewalks were crowded with shoppers and residents.
Inside the shopping center, officers found two women dead and a man injured with gunshot and stab wounds at the Victoga jewelry shop. One woman was shot and the other was stabbed with a knife, police said.
A gun and a knife were recovered from the scene. Police spokesman Gordon Shyy said a semi-automatic rifle was found in the back seat of White's car.
The women were identified by the city medical examiner's office as Khin Min, 35, of San Francisco, and Lina Lim, 51, of Daly City, both of whom worked at the store. The man, who was the shop's owner, was in critical condition Saturday.
The suspect, who police believe acted alone, was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said that White had conducted at least one business transaction at the store before Friday's attack.
The shopping center is just blocks from the Hall of Justice, which is the home of San Francisco Superior Court, a jail and police headquarters. Several tech companies, including online game maker Zynga, are also in the neighborhood.

Grant's first active engagement in the Civil War. Some of the artillery, which shelled the Union troops, and the six-ton anchor that held the great chain stretching across the river, are on display in the park. There is a 2.5-mile self-guided hiking trail in the Park. Dramatic images of the Civil War come to mind when walking on the bluffs and massive earthen works that formed the Confederate trenches. Students of all ages can learn about the area and the Civil War in the Civil War Museum.

In November of each year, we present a week of intense, hands-on Living History programs, involving students physically as well as mentally in six stations where they are engaged for 20 minutes at each. The smell of wood smoke or a fresh split of cedar wood, the sounds of a spinning wheel, a loom, or the blacksmith's hammer, the texture of different tree barks, wool, linen, or leather, all help to bring the history to life today.
An online Teacher Resource is available at fortboonesboroughlivinghistory.org for teachers to access prior to their field trip to the Fort. This includes a map and directions to the Fort, a guide for touring, pre- and post-visit suggestions, and a short list of Social Studies and other links to KDE Core Content For Assessment.

When I get off the plane at the cute little Portland airport, I'm greeted by my friend Lindsey, who'd made the same move from New York City a year before. She informs me that she's leaving on a 10-day trip starting the next morning. That brings my friend count within a thousand-mile radius to a grand total of zero. She drops me off at my apartment, where I'm greeted by piles of cardboard boxes. I officially enter panic mode. Who picks up and moves 3,000 miles away from friends and family—alone except for her dog—because a city she visited for three days seemed cool? I plunk down on my shrink-wrapped couch and try not to bawl.
Projects always make me feel more in control, so my first order of business is to make the apartment, roughly three times the size of the one I'd left in New York, feel like home. I paint the bedroom and the bathroom and make half a dozen trips to Ikea and the hardware store. I play fetch with my dog in the backyard. I'm trying to stay busy enough that I won't notice my only social interactions are exchanging pleasantries with store clerks. When I sit down in a cute café and stare at the empty chair across from me, I have to remind myself, This is a perfectly normal adjustment period. I spend hours on the phone with my parents and friends on the East Coast, who feel every inch of those 3,000 miles away. The worst times are evenings, when the three-hour time difference makes it too late to call, and I sit in my half-unpacked apartment, staring at the TV without cable and the laptop without internet, feeling disconnected. I wonder if I'll ever make true friends here. The kind who'll meet you out on a whim—the kind who'll help you paint your walls. I feel sorry for myself but try to stay hopeful.
I visit vintage furniture stores and work in my garden. I scream every time I see a worm. I keep looking over my shoulder to make faces at a friend—except there's no one there. As a freelance writer, I work alone all day. In New York, I made plans with friends most nights. But without anyone to call, I feel utterly alone. I start wondering: How long does it take to feel at home somewhere—two months? A year? Within a week, my legs are exhausted from standing on a ladder, and my hair is splattered with paint, but at least my new place now evokes my favorite home blog, Design Sponge. I worried that a much larger home would feel hollow, but I find myself twirling through the living and dining rooms, Sound of Music–style, singing, "Space, space,spaaace!"
On IFC's Portlandia, the city is described as the place young people go to retire. Stepping off the hamster wheel of a high-stress magazine job in Manhattan, I finally have time to ride my bike to the farmers' market. I send photos to friends back home of my tree-lined street. I hike to a waterfall, then go to a craft-beer tast ing at a brewery with a view of kiteboarders on Hood River. I pick peaches and make runny jam. I start to get used to how kind every one is. My next-door neighbors stopped by with a housewarming plant. Their names are Pat and Jenny. In New York, my neighbors were Bird Lady, Bathrobe Guy, and The Meth-Head Couple in the Basement. When I leave the dry cleaners, the clerk says, "May your day be filled with love and light!" I feel Woody Allen rolling his eyes from across the country. It seems that nobody here aspires to be Liz Lemon and that they're less entertained by Honey Boo Boo than genuinely concerned about her risk of diabetes. I spend a few days worrying I'm too neurotic to live among these earnest, mellow West Coasters. But maybe they'll make me nicer? I sign up to volunteer at a children's-literacy program and feel at least 10 percent nicer already.
Then, I buy a car. "I think I'm honking more than Portlanders do," I tell Lindsey when she returns from her trip. This may be a side effect from spending the past five years in taxis, which communicate through a volley of honks, insults in foreign languages, and offensive hand gestures. Here, when the speed limit is 55, most people drive 45, even in the far left lane. They have bumper stickers about world peace. At every four-way stop, drivers keep motioning for the others to go. I can appreciate this for about 10 seconds before the New Yorker in me decides to floor it through the intersection.
A few weeks into my move, I've learned to curb my honking enthusiasm. Although I'm still more type A than most people here, I'm far less rigid than I was in New York, and I've realized that part of my personality was exacerbated by a city whispering "Go, go, go!" Here, I can feel myself becoming more patient. When a stranger approaches on the street, I no longer avert eye contact. I hold the door open for people. I feel a new me emerging. But I still need to make new friends (other than the hippie dry cleaner) and start—gulp—dating in a city where half the guys have neck tattoos and the other half wear clogs. Stay tuned.…

Steve Bishop
Christian Dior - J'adore (Mountain Goat) (2 views and 1 detail)
Taxidermied goat, concrete, chalk
170 x 105 x 144 cm (with base)
Christian Dior - J'Adore (Mountain Goat) and Jean Paul Gaultier – Classique (Arctic Fox) are two of a series of three works. "All three involved copying the form of figurative perfume bottles. I liked that they were a dual image: on one hand it's a bottle, on the other it's a figure. I saw the taxidermy and the concrete bottle as two figures melding into each other, and also as two objects overlapping. Taxidermy is as much of an object as a coffee cup or any other thing. But they were white and there's an idea of purity involved, and when you see the fur matted and embedded in concrete it's quite jarring."

Get started in showbiz by becoming a movie extra for fun or to start your acting career. Learn about the casting process and what you can do to get your foot in the door and start working in the movies.
Most filmmakers are constantly seeking movie extras and background actors to fill their shots and add realism to their films, TV shows and commercials. If you want to become a movie extra, all you have to do is let them know you are willing and available to work. You could contact casting directors, talent agents, talent scouts, and producers on your own, but that would probably take a lot more time and effort than it is worth. A simple way to let filmmakers know you are out there is to sign up with Actingland.
To begin, you'll need to register and create one or more personal profiles. Personal profiles are online biographies that list your description, contact information, skills, and abilities. Along with your profile, you can attach a resume, multiple photographs or your professional headshot, and even personal video clips or your acting demo reel.
Casting directors, talent agents, talent scouts, producers and directors may then be able to locate your profile using an advanced search engine. If a casting director or talent agent is looking for someone like you or for actors available in or around your home town, they could find your profile within their search results. Once they have located your profile, they can then contact you directly with further details and audition information. In this way, with very minimal effort on your part, you can make yourself known to literally thousands of filmmakers world wide.
In addition to being able to post your personal profile online for industry professionals to find when searching for actors, extras, and other talent, Actingland also provides casting calls and auditions. As a member, you'll receive unrestricted and unlimited access to the hundreds of casting notices available. Plus, you'll have at your fingertips the best tools, tips, and helpful hints to making a career out of acting. Great articles and acting guides can teach you what you need to know to be a successful working actor or movie extra. Guides for beginning actors will explain how to get your foot in the door, find acting jobs and get your career off the ground.
Plus, you've probably heard the old adage about showbiz - "it's not what you know, it's who you know." Unfortunately, this is very true - possibly more so today than ever before. It is simply not possible to do it alone. Networking is a vital part of the acting career pursuit. You need to build and maintain strong working relationships with your peers. This is why Actingland provides career networking tools. We make networking and communicating with your friends and fellow actors easy and convenient. Just like other social networking web sites, you can easily add members with similar interests and values to your friends lists. Use your connections to communicate and share experiences, advice and acting tips or offer help, suggestions and moral support to members like yourself.
After you have worked a few acting jobs, you'll realize that our job planning and tracking tools will keep you organized and on the right path to success. It is nearly impossible to reach your full acting potential if you don't keep accurate records of your submissions, auditions and callbacks. Acting success and success in show business in general, takes both talent and organization. You supply the talent and we will provide the tools to keep you organized and help you track your submission and audition results.
Whether you are seeking just a day of fun up close to movie stars and celebrities on an exciting film location or a way to jump into showbiz and launch your acting career, Actingland can help you realize your dreams.
Sign up today and you could be an extra in a future Hollywood blockbuster or even on your way to becoming the next break-out movie star. If you are ready to begin a career in the spotlight, register now and get acting!

This video was created by @JasonSilva and shot and edited with my friends at Bravo Media, and is non-commercial and for educational and inspirational purposes only. Full credits and clip attributions can be found below. This video was inspired by three big ideas:1) The ideas of psychologist Nicholas Humphrey who has written of "THE BIOLOGICAL ADVANTAGE OF BEING AWESTRUCK". Basically, our ability to awe was biologically selected for by evolution because it imbues our lives with sense of cosmic significance that has resulted in a species that works harder not just to survive but to flourish and thrive..."Humphrey refers to consciousness as a magic show that you stage for yourself inside your head, which lights up the world and makes you feel special and transcendent... this magical theater provides a reason to live, a love of occupying the present moment, and a desire to sustain it into the future, that over time has proved stronger than anything else, and accounts for humanity's swift and triumphant success--Humphrey says "being enchanted by the magic of experience, rather than being just an aid to survival, provides an essential incentive to survive.""We relish just being here. We feel "the yen to confirm and renew, in small ways or large, our own occupancy of the present moment, to go deeper, to extend it, to revel in being there, and when we have the skill, to celebrate it in words.."Our desire to understand brings exquisite pleasure... and feeds our exploratory voyage, our scientific inquiry, our technological development, and even our poetic self-regard..More: online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703858404576214771893335998.html2) The Stanford study that found that AWE is clinically good for you, expanding perception of time, increasing compassion and empathy and promoting well being:More: theatlantic.com/health/archive/2012/07/study-awe-inspiring-experiences-change-our-perception-of-time/260138/3) Ross Andersen's rapturous meditation on the ontological awakening of our psyches provided by the Hubble Space Telescope: "At first glancing the Deep FIELD "one might mistake it for gemstones scattered across black velvet, but a closer look reveals that each smudge of light, 2,600 in all, is a galaxy dense with billions of star-fired worlds, pinwheeling in deep time. … To that point, astronomy had imaged objects only four billion light years away, and poorly at that. Here a telescope reached 11 and a half billion light years into space and delivered an image legible to the layman: an unprecedented expansion of human vision."More: lareviewofbooks.org/article.php?id=331**Music by John Murphy - "Kaneda's Death Pt 2" from Sunshine Soundtrack

By blending narration directly from the book with video footage, interviews with practicing curanderos, samples of traditional icaros or magic songs, photographs and cutting edge special effects, Aya: Awakenings reproduces the inner landscape of the visionary state in unprecedented detail, invoking a spiritual awakening in the viewer.
http://www.thejuicemedia.com Juice Rap News - Episode 17: The War on Terra. It's 2013 and the world did not end by meteorite or by Mayan calendar. But fear not: we might just be able to get the job done ourselves. Join Robert Foster as he sets out to discover where Civilisation™ is making the fastest progress towards annihilation. In this edition of the Civilisation Report, Robert learns about Australia and Canada - two oft-neglected pioneers of peace, progress and prosperity - in conversation with our antipodean colonial correspondent Ken Oathcarn and his Canuck counterpart, Fagin Heighbard. Dear viewers, consider this a fair warning that in terms of language and affront to the dominant culture this could get fucking messy.- Written & created by Giordano Nanni & Hugo Farrant in a suburban backyard home-studio in Melbourne, Australia - on Wurundjeri Land.- Gratitude to our donors whose generosity has made this episode possible.

Shortlisted for the 2015 Costa First Novel Award, The Loney has already been hailed a modern classic. This domestic horror about a boy and his religious family who visit an inhospitable strip of the Northeast coast in order to cure their mute son, has all the hallmarks of a classic Gothic horror - a crumbling old house, a pale girl glanced from a window, villainous locals up to nefarious activities. But what did our own Gothic horrors think of this month's choice? @thevoiceofruss I loved this
The Loney by Andrew Michael Hurley
We had a small group this time but we certainly made the most of it, looking at the minutiae of line-editing and then putting it into practice with a little help from a massive barbarian and his rippling right arm. Check out the link to fully explore the weird, fascinating mind of Hal Duncan. We looked at ways to improve dialogue, and then everyone in the class took 1000 words of their writing and cut 250 of them. Yikes! Scary stuff, huh? But I recommend this exercise as a way to prove to
Redrafting II
Another brilliant workshop on Saturday. Thanks to everyone who came along. If you missed it, we spent a lot of time looking at the common pitfalls of first drafts and how to combat them; from unarresting openings to overly-explained endings, via that good old favourite - the saggy middle. But it was equally great listening to everyone list the things they liked about their works-in-progress. It's all too easy to forget why you started this whole thing in the first place after months (sometimes

5 Proficiencies
Below are the 5 rubrics provided by WASC department. They are the basis for scoring departmental program plans. Each proficiency's have their respective basic descriptions, and each can be downloaded as a pdf document
Critical thinking is a habit of mind characterized by the comprehensive exploration of issues, ideas, artifacts, and events before accepting or formulating an opinion or conclusion.
The ability to know when there is a need for information, to be able to identify, locate, evaluate, and effectively and responsibly use and share that information for the problem at hand. - Adopted from The National Forum on Information Literacy
Oral communication is a prepared, purposeful presentation designed to increase knowledge, to foster understanding, or to promote change in the listeners' attitudes, values, beliefs, or behaviors.
Quantitative Literacy (QL) – also known as Numeracy or Quantitative Reasoning (QR) – is a "habit of mind," competency, and comfort in working with numerical data. Individuals with strong QL skills possess the ability to reason and solve quantitative problems from a wide array of authentic contexts and everyday life situations. They understand and can create sophisticated arguments supported by quantitative evidence and they can clearly communicate those arguments in a variety of formats (using words, tables, graphs, mathematical equations, etc., as appropriate).
Written communication is the development and expression of ideas in writing. Written communication involves learning to work in many genres and styles. It can involve working with many different writing technologies, and mixing texts, data, and images. Written communication abilities develop through iterative experiences across the curriculum.

About this blog…
"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

As for Latin…
"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II

Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm.
