Vox Article on Latino Immigrants Latest Example of Media's Diversity Problem
By: Christina Saenz
In yet another example of a news outlet where a non-Latino attempts to report on Latinidad, Dara Lind's Vox article attempts to jump from data to analysis without digging deeper or at least presenting a more authentic picture of the original study Lind cites.
If you read the title of the article, "Grandkids of Latino immigrants are less educated than their parents. Blame assimilation," and then read the content which reinforces that headline, Lind focuses on assimilation for the downward spiral that Latino grandchildren experience in education, crime and other outcomes.
Yet when you return to the original September 2014 study entitled "Immigrant Youth Outcomes Patterns by Generation and Race and Ethnicity" by Dr. Maria E. Enchautegui (who is a Latina and an economist at the Urban Institute), the researcher does not automatically ascribe assimilation as the reason for their downward trend as Lind's Vox article wants you to believe. In fact, Enchautegui takes a more nuanced approach in which she cites other research in how structural inequality may also be behind the trend.
Enchautegui cites the study from Generations of Exclusion coauthored by Dr. Vilma Ortiz (a past contributor to Latino Rebels) and Dr. Edward Telles. Similar to Enchautegui's study, Ortiz and Telles found a similar "U-turn" in which second generation Mexican-Americans are better off than their immigrant parents but their children and grandchildren are worse off than the second generation. They attribute that to institutional barriers—that is, chronic underfunding of Mexican-American majority schools, punitive immigrant policies and racism in interacting with whites. The pathway of assimilation for descendants of Latino immigrants is not just about having conversations with their neighbors in English instead of Spanish or exchanging their salchipapas for hot dogs on a bun. The path for assimilation for their descendants includes facing the negative realities of American race relations.
What perplexes me is that Lind does not include the language of discrimination, inequality or racism to explain what may behind the "U-Turn." (In Enchautegui's original article, there is a whole section with the title "Analysis through the Lenses of Inequality and Assimilation.") When I ran a word cloud to see which words were most prominent in Lind's article, you will see below that these words are nowhere in the Lind's text:
In essence, Lind has erased the possibility of external discrimination and internalized discrimination as explanation for the "U Turn." This leads the reader to believe that Americanization hurts U.S. Latinos when the real cause may also be discrimination and racism that forms the "assimilation" experience for U.S. Latinos of latter generations.
In the final paragraph, Lind posits the possibility that successful third-generation Latinos may not identify as Latino at all and claim white instead and that less-successful third-generation Latinos are more likely to classify themselves as Latino. As all good researchers do, Enchautegui mentions that the racial classification of third-generation Latinos may be a technical problem in data collection that limits "the extent to which we can be sure about how this generation fares" (Enchautegui's direct language). While it can be argued that the opposite effect may be true, that is, Latinos of latter generations are more likely to identify as nonwhite.
This site spent a great deal of time focusing on this issue last year when Nate Cohen of The New York Times misreported preliminary conclusions about a study that was still being finalized. In addition, if you recall the work of Villanova sociologists, Latinos are constantly changing their racial classifications out of ambivalence or confusion and that Latinos are more likely to switch racial identifications the longer they are in the country. I am less concerned by the veracity of Enchautegui's statement but by the way that author of the Vox article frames this technical limitation of the study. Lind, who has a larger and less statistically savvy audience, concludes her article with the following:
…if Latino identity becomes something that only the least successful Latinos hold on to, that could pose a real threat to the group's growing electoral and social power…
How did this statement about racial classification of latter generation go from being a technical limitation on Enchautegui's work to a threat of a whole community's grip on politics and society? Is Lind's piece just the latest example of a misleading media narrative about U.S. Latinos being perpetuated by non-Latinos (see Cohn, see Jamelle Bouie)? And if so, why does the mainstream English-language media continue to push this faulty narrative?
In psychology, there is this principle called the "primacy/recency effect." When people are asked to recall what they read, they are most likely to recall the beginning and ending of what they read. Lind's Vox article starts off with the idea that assimilation is to be blamed for the downward trend of third-generation Latinos' social and economic outcomes. Then she concludes her article that the whitening racial classifications of Latinos will threaten their power in U.S. Latino politics and society. These will be the two salient points that readers will react to and remember when discussing the very distressing trend of the outcomes of third-generation Latinos.
While I am encouraged that Vox decided to report on an understudied group in U.S. Latino demographics and used a research study done by a rigorous Latina researcher, I am concerned yet again about diversity in our newsrooms. I will repeat what other Rebeldes have said: When mainstream journalistic outlets lack editorial diversity to discuss the realities of U.S. Latino experiences, there is a great danger to misrepresent and misinform.
How do these media outlets start solving this serious problem? Hire more Latinos for one, but also begin to have real discussions with those who have a deeper understanding of the issues. But don't take my word for it. When Latino Rebels asked its Facebook and Twitter community about Lind's article, they shared some very insightful opinions. Hopefully, Lind and her Vox editors take the time to read those comments and engage the U.S. Latino community some more.

Adela, for your information we live in USA and we do have REAL Freedom of Speech . So just because, as you claim, I might not agree with your "Latino ethno-centrist pro-illegal immigrant propaganda, does not mean I do not have the right to comment in this Open Forum. Your statement indicate that you only want to read and listen to people that agree with your ideals. You see, that way you will never learn what other people think, and ever learn something in the process. For example, why do you say I am a "Race Traitor"? What "Race", the White Race, the Black Race, or the Mongoloid Race? Those are the ONLY races in this world. Latino or Hispanic" ARE NOT RACES. Hispanic all it means is that we are descendent's of people from the "Hispanic Peninsula", Spain ad Portugal on the other hand, Latino means that we are speakers of a Latin languag which include the Hispaics (Spanish and Portuguese) AND French languages. And for your information ALL Hispanics ARE Latinos BUR NOT ALL Latinos are Hispanics. See now you have learn something from someone that might not agree with your ideas. I am NOT anti illegal immigrants. We ARE a Nation if immigrants. All I do want is to Close the Border First and the deal with the illegals That is all. The Democrats played the same game back in the 80 when President Reagan gave amnesty to some 10 million illegals, The Democrats did promised to close and control the border, in writing, BUT never did, which is the reason why we now have well over 12 millions. What is wrong with that?

Join "Zooming In" host Simone Gao in her conversation with Ian Easton, research fellow at the Project 2049 Institute, on the changing relationship between China, Taiwan, and the United States; how China is trying to subvert Taiwan's democratic system; and what should be done about it.
Changing Relations Between China, Taiwan, and the U.S.
In many ways, no other nation has followed the United States' political system as closely as Taiwan. It is a vibrant democracy that values freedom of speech and freedom of belief. It's a stark contrast to mainland China's authoritarian, one-party rule. Increasingly, the Chinese Communist Party is ramping up its military and trying to subvert Taiwan's democratic system. Meanwhile, the United States is overhauling its China policy and increasing relations with Taiwan.
Can you explain just how important Taiwan is to the U.S. strategically?
Ian Easton: Well, for the United States, Taiwan is important strategically on two different levels. One is the level of – it's really the level of principles and values. Taiwan is a like-minded country for the United States. It's a democracy, it values freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, all of the core elements of American principles, all the things that our Founding Fathers and all the generations that have come since then, all of the intrinsic values that we have, the things that we hold to be sacred as a nation, and all the things that have made us very, very successful as a nation, the Taiwanese government, the Republic of China government, agrees with. Also, as a matter of geostrategic interest, this is less about values and more about our own cold, rational calculations of how do we maintain our power and our influence and our economic prosperity. If you look at Taiwan, its location, it's situated in the middle of the first island chain, which is critical geography. It sits at the nexus of the world's most heavily trafficked maritime lines of communication and airlines of communication. It occupies essential geostrategic terrain. This is a place that the United States simply cannot afford to lose on that basis as well.
The Chinese Communist Party uses cultural activities, the media, education programs, and people-to-people exchanges to influence public opinion around the world. In Taiwan, the CCP is trying to infiltrate Taiwanese politics and society. At a Brookings Institution event on September 11th, Taiwan-based security analyst J. Michael Cole discussed how the CCP uses social media to gain influence and undermine Taiwan's Democratic government.
J. Michael Cole: Well, one of the big things that we've seen in recent years is disinformation, which is a more academic term for fake news. That's a term that's caught on in recent years. We're seeing a marked increase in computational propaganda, disinformation operations using social media. As we know, Taiwan has the highest penetration of Facebook users on the face of the planet. So Facebook has been a very important playground for disinformation in Taiwan, a lot of which is generated domestically, but also there's an increased component coming from China, which sometimes, or often times, is also reinforced by like-minded individuals and groups in Taiwan as well. So we cannot claim the all the disinformation being aimed at Taiwan is coming out of China. That being said, there are a number of studies that are being conducted in Taiwan by Tech Savvy, Yeong Taiwanese, and what they are trying to do now is not only to identify the type of disinformation, where it is being shared, and the subjects that they are working on, but also doing the investigation to trace it back to its origin. One of the preliminary reports demonstrates that, on a daily basis, Taiwan is targeted – on Facebook – is targeted by 2,400 individual disinformation attacks if I can use that term. 2,400 every day, all of which originates somewhere in China.
While Beijing is spreading disinformation and infiltrating local associations in Taiwan, they're also building up their military capabilities. According to the Annual Report to Congress on Military and Security Developments Involving the People's Republic of China in 2018, The PLA is undergoing the most comprehensive restructuring in its history to become a force capable of conducting complex joint operations. The PLA strives to be capable of fighting and winning "informatized local wars" – regional conflicts defined by real-time, data-networked command and control, and precision strikes. Reforms seek to streamline command and control structures and improve jointness at all levels.
In 2015 Chinese leader Xi Jinping initiated a massive military reform in China. What was the goal, and what does that mean for Taiwan?
Ian Easton: Well, that's a very good question. What we have seen is, in December 31st, this reform program started, this massive reform and reorganization program started. And it's continued until today, and apparently the stated deadline of the reform is the year 2020, and the stated objective of the reform is to build a joint capable People's Liberation Army. And the concern that I have, and the concern I know that many share, is that when the Chinese Communist Party talks about a joint capable military, what they're really talking about, according to their own doctrine, according to their own writings, is a military capable of actually invading and occupying Taiwan. Because if you look at the Chinese, their own literature, there's only one operation that would really require a joint capable military, and it's not a border conflict with India, it's not a conflict on the Korean peninsula, it's not a blockade of Taiwan, and it's not an air or missile campaign against Taiwan. It's the full-scale invasion and occupation of Taiwan, an operation that it would have to conduct against the Republic of China, or Taiwan, Taiwanese military, but also an operation that would require them to prepare to deter, to delay, and ultimately to attempt to destroy the U.S. military forces that would be ordered to come to Taiwan's rescue.
Press play to hear the whole episode and find out why America should pay attention to China's efforts to influence Taiwan.

Legislation to create an investment division within the State Retirement Agency has proceeded smoothly through the Maryland Senate. The change would bring Maryland's System into line with many other state pension systems of similar size, and could save costs in the long term.
On Thursday, March 15, a bill to create an internal investment division within the State Retirement Agency passed the Maryland Senate on what is called "second reader." After a quiet hearing in the House, the bill passed that chamber with only a few technical amendments, and all signs now indicate that the bill will pass the General Assembly this year.
Additional amendments were described on the floor of the Senate on Thursday by Senator Guy Guzzone, Co-Chair of the Joint Committee on Pensions. The Senate's amendments would establish an objective criteria committee to assist the State Pension Board in setting compensation for the Chief Investment Officer and positions in the investment division created by the bill.
As described in the fiscal note on the bill, compensation and operating expenses of the investment division are subject to appropriation from the accumulation fund of each system and are not paid by participating employers. Administrative fees, including those paid by county governments who participate in the State system, will continue to be used to support other divisions of the State Retirement Agency.

Q: Servicio de GPS en segundo plano He realizado un Service para unas coordenadas GPS que este en segundo plano (se supone que los servicios también se ejecutan en segundo plano).
Este es el servicio:
public class ServiciosGPS extends Service {
    private FusedLocationProviderClient fusedLocationProviderClient;
    private LocationRequest locationRequest;

    FirebaseFirestore mfirestorgps;

    String gmidpasosservicios, erroeservicio;

    private LocationCallback locationCallback = new LocationCallback()
    {
        @Override
        public void onLocationResult(LocationResult locationResult) {
            if ( locationResult == null ) {
                return;
            }
            for ( Location location: locationResult.getLocations() ) {
                // grabo la localizacion en la Base de Datos

                Map<String, Object> mapgps = new HashMap<>();
                mapgps.put( "longuitud", location.getLongitude());
                mapgps.put( "latitud", location.getLatitude());
                mfirestorgps.collection( "GPS" ).document( gmidpasosservicios ).update( mapgps );

            }
        }
    };

    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        fusedLocationProviderClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient( this );
        locationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
        locationRequest.setInterval( 4000 );
        locationRequest.setFastestInterval( 2000 );
        locationRequest.setPriority( LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY );
        mfirestorgps = FirebaseFirestore.getInstance();
        //Bundle extrapasos = this.getIntent().getExtras();
        //gmidpasosservicios = extrapasos.getString( ("paseidpasos") );
        gmidpasosservicios = "Gw7C5jK8PascBWC5LY8X";   //lo pongo momentaneamente porque no  me funciona el paso de parametro
    }

    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int  flags, int startId) {
        LocationSettingsRequest locationSettingsRequest = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder()
                .addLocationRequest( locationRequest ).build();
        SettingsClient settingsClient = LocationServices.getSettingsClient( ServiciosGPS.this );
        Task<LocationSettingsResponse> locationSettingsResponseTask = settingsClient.checkLocationSettings( locationSettingsRequest );
        locationSettingsResponseTask.addOnSuccessListener( new OnSuccessListener<LocationSettingsResponse>() {
            @Override
            public void onSuccess(LocationSettingsResponse locationSettingsResponse) {
                // Coordenadas satifactorfias
                startlocalizacongps();
            }
        } );
        locationSettingsResponseTask.addOnFailureListener( new OnFailureListener() {
            @Override
            public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception e) {
                // Si falla las coordenadas
                erroeservicio = "No hace nada solo si da error. pasa de el";
            }
        } );
        return  START_STICKY;
    }

    public void onDestroy(){
        super.onDestroy();
        fusedLocationProviderClient.removeLocationUpdates( locationCallback );
    }

    private void startlocalizacongps() {
        if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission( this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION ) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission( this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION ) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            return;
        }
        fusedLocationProviderClient.requestLocationUpdates( locationRequest, locationCallback, Looper.getMainLooper() );
    }

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        return null;
    }
}

Pues bien ahora lo llamo con esta función desde mi Activity:
Intent intentpasos = new Intent( this, ServiciosGPS.class );
intentpasos.putExtra("paseidpasos", gmidpasos);
//this.startForegroundService(intentpasos);
this.startService( intentpasos );

Y lo cierro así:
Intent intentpasos = new Intent(PasosActivity.this, ServiciosGPS.class );
intentpasos.putExtra("paseidpasos", gmidpasos);
PasosActivity.this.stopService(intentpasos);

*

*Pues todo parece bien y funciona hasta que pasa a segundo plano y deja de funcionar, es decir, no envía las coordenadas, cuando vuelve a primer plano vuelve a funcionar.
También he llamado al servicio con esta otra:
 this.startForegroundService(intentpasos);

Pero aunque parece que funciona bien e incluso en segundo plano, cuando se cierra el servicio da algún fallo mas adelante en la app que no da con la otra llamada.
¿Cómo puedo hacer para que funcione en segundo plano con la primera llamada que he puesto?

*Como veis intento pasarle un parámetro pero en el servicio no se como capturarlo ya que en la línea :
 Bundle extrapasos = this.getIntent().getExtras();

El getIntent() enta en rojo.
Muchas gracias.

A: Recuerda que si tu .APK se compila con un targetSdk=28 ( Android 9 ) o mayor, es necesario definir el permiso:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE"/>

Con respecto a que en el servicio no puedes recibir un parametro, lo correcto es realizarlo en el mètodo onStartCommand() de tu servicio:
protected void onStartCommand (Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {

    Bundle extrapasos = intent.getIntent().getExtras();

}

A: Cuando llamo al servicio con  startService(intentpasos); y despues paso a segundo plano, me he dado cuenta que el servicio se desconecta y pasa a la inactividad.

Gabriel Landeskog among Avalanche skaters "unfit to practice" Monday in training camp
Nathan MacKinnon at training camp on Jan. 4. Photo credit: Colorado Avalanche social media team.
The Avalanche began their on-ice portion of training camp Monday without five players on the 40-man training-camp roster. The group, deemed "unfit" to practice, according to coach Jared Bednar, were forwards Gabe Landeskog and Brandon Saad, defensemen Erik Johnson and Keaton Middleton and goaltender Philipp Grubauer.
"I don't know what the protocols are or when they're going to be back," Bednar said. "They're unfit to practice today. Tomorrow morning I'll get news if they're fit or not. I'm just not allowed to relay what exactly they are."
Bednar on Sunday said his entire training camp roster was healthy, meaning their absences could be COVID-19 related rather than physical injuries.
Toews and Makar: Defenseman Devon Toews, one of the Avalanche's big offseason acquisitions, was playing with Cale Makar on the top pairing Monday.
Toews, 26, was acquired from the salary cap-strapped New York Islanders on Oct. 12 for two second-round draft picks and signed a four-year extension with the Avalanche the same week. The Islanders were eliminated by the eventual Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning in the Eastern Conference finals.
"I think this team has what it takes to go all the way," Toews said of the Avs. "I saw different things that Tampa Bay did so well and I feel like this team can do a lot of those same things."
Game times: The Avalanche released their game times for the 56-game regular season, and the opener against the St. Louis Blues on Jan. 13 is the only 8:30 PM start at Ball Arena. There are other 8:30 PM games but only on the West Coast.
The Avs, per reports, will also play an outdoor game against the Vegas Golden Knights at 1 PM on Feb. 20 at Lake Tahoe, although the NHL has yet to officially announce it.

I was there from Friday night to Sunday evening.
It is definitely a lively city, which is diverse in the activities that are available to do. Within the city center there are countless clubs and pubs to keep you awake into the early hours.
Behind this artwork stood fittingly the Rainbow Casino hence the variety of color lights.
We stayed at The Bristol Hotel – Great location in central, neat and artistic hotel. This is more within the pricey range, however it is worth the money if you are looking for an comfortable, nicely accomodated hotel.
A trip to a British City would not be complete without having a full English breakfast in the morning. This was so tasty and was much-needed to fuel us for the day ahead.
I was also surprisingly happy to see a Morph character statue, I clearly remember occasionally watching this during my childhood. It was a strange but entertainingly addictive cartoon.
As we wandered around the city I noticed that, there were lots of different designed buildings. I loved how they were so modern and unique. Nothing like I had seen before in London.
After a long walk we got to the Clifton Suspension Bridge built by Brunel. To think of how this was built before significant technology was available enhanced my views on the skills required by Brunel and the workers to create from scratch such a long and sustainable architecture.
Another free but priceless view within Bristol is the beautiful harbour. Luckily when we were there the skies were blue which gave a glimpse of the tranquil side of Bristol.
Restaurant I would highly recommend in Bristol is "Don Giovanni's" – great Italian food and Service.
As our time drew to an end at Bristol we headed to have some frozen yogurt which we saw on our first arrival here but the shop was closed. We sat down to enjoy the sunshine, blue skies and some Angel Berry frozen yogurt.
I share below one of my favorite picture of the trip with you.


Boston university to re-evaluate relationship after march at Al-Quds' Jerusalem campus.
Brandeis University suspended its partnership with Al-Quds University in light of recent events at the Palestinian school, including a Nazi-style demonstration on its main campus in Jerusalem.
Brandeis President Frederick Lawrence made the announcement Monday, saying the suburban Boston university will re-evaluate the relationship in the future. The universities have been sister institutions since 1998.
During the November 5 demonstration at Al-Quds, which also has campuses in the Palestinian towns of Abu Dis and Al-Bireh, protesters marched in black military gear with fake automatic weapons while waving flags and offering the traditional Nazi salute. Banners with images of Palestinian suicide bombers decorated the main square of the campus, according to a statement from Brandeis. Several students also portrayed dead Israeli soldiers.
Following the demonstration, Lawrence called on Al-Quds President Sari Nusseibeh to issue a condemnation of the demonstration in Arabic and English.
"As occurred recently, these opportunists are quick to describe the Palestinians as a people undeserving of freedom and independence, and as a people who must be kept under coercive control and occupation. They cite these events as evidence justifying their efforts to muster broad Jewish and western opinion to support their position. This public opinion, in turn, sustains the occupation, the extension of settlements and the confiscation of land, and prevents Palestinians from achieving our freedom," Nusseibeh wrote.

The bride and groom and their moms posing with the "guests" and dancers.
Since my little urchin boy was in WGM with Hwang Bo, I've been following other couples even after Hyun Joong left the show ^^ My faves [and the only ones I watched] are the Goguma Couple, the Dog Poopie couple, the Brave couple and the Woojung couple [molkang molkang he he he...]. And now....the Woojung couple...are in my country. TARA's Eun Jung and Singer and actor Lee Jang Woo just left Lombok [where they filmed a segment of WGM] for Bali...and from Bali, they'll go back to Korea. In Lombok they held [a make-up] traditional wedding, wearing traditional wedding clothes ....wow....I sooo have to blog this LOL !!
Before my pix spam I'd like to put the Photo Credits : Thank you sooo much to Aira Sekar Arum [ for the updates, infos and pics] and Woojung's plus Tara's fans in Lombok and all Indonesia ^^ also to allkpop.com, woojungislove.com, ennaemesayu.wordpress.com,detik.com,taraworld.net,and hallyukvcwordpress.com .
Eun Jung in red Kebaya....and red and gold Saroong...Jang Woo in matching Saroong. The Saroongs the couples and their mothers are wearing are traditional woven cloths, the ones woven with gold threads like these are expensive and sometimes a bit heavy and stiff. They are worn for special events and ceremonies.
The ornamental headdress Eun Jung is wearing is similar to a Balinese headdress for the bride....Lombok and Bali culture share many similarities. Jang Woo's supposed to be bare chested under his clothes...but I think the clothes are a bit prickly and itchy when you get hot wearing it....hehe....so to have the t-shirt next to his skin is better.
Wow...I've never been to Lombok....tho it's near Kupang [just the next island...so to speaK ^^], but it looks beautiful and not as crowded as Bali. They stayed in Hotel Sheraton,Senggigi. They went to Bukit Nipah, Pantai Malimbu 2, Gili Air and Sukarara village to shoot. I guess above are the pixs of Woojung couple in Bukit Nipah ?? Coz "Bukit" means "Hill" in my language and you could see them walking up a hill there. The view must have been worthed to see....after being tired from trudging up and up...oww poor moms !
Hope she bought lotsa soveniers for Tara members and her family !!

a big, hot, steamy bowl of THIS.
that THEY would come clean my house.
a little helping of THIS.
watching the season premiere of THIS.
happy birthday from mickey mouse.
we already posted about it, over at just spotted, but it is such a fabulous offer, i just had to continue "spreading the news".
disneyland is giving you a birthday present this year... "start your birthday off right with the most magical birthday present of all: FREE admission on your birthday during 2009 to one of the Theme Parks of the Disneyland Resort!"
how awesome is that?! & don't worry... if you are an annual passholder, or will already be using a multi-day ticket on your birthday, they have some other special surprises in store for you too. you can choose from a birthday fun card in an amount equal to the price of the ticket, a special birthday FASTPASS ticket for certain attractions, or a 1-day/1-park ticket for you to use any time until your next birthday.
for more information, & to to register (make sure to register EVERYONE in the family for this special offer! you definitely don't want to miss out!), go HERE.
upon arriving home from preschool gavin asked: where's dad?
if only life were so simple. i'm sure jeffy would much rather be riding bikes, then working.
you run, you slide, hit the bump & take a dive.
one of our favorite nighttime stories is giraffes can't dance by giles andreae. i love the rhyming story & my boys love the illustrations & all the bright & bold colors. it's the story of a clumsy giraffe who doesn't think he can dance. but with a little encouragement, he surprises himself (& all the other animals in the jungle), when he realizes "we all can dance... when we find music that we love." it's a great lesson for kids (& even adults) to learn, & be reminded of. and even though the story is meant for toddlers & pre-schoolers, my little little guy enjoys searching for the cricket & three small bugs that are hiding on each & every page. get your own copy here.
i almost forgot... today is national talk like a pirate day! so break out your eye patch, maybe add a little swagger to your step & incorporate a few of these words into your vocabulary. (if you are more of a visual learner, check out THIS video).
avast! - stop & give attention. it can be used in a sense of surprise, "whoa! get a load of that!" which today makes it more of a "check it out" or "no way!" or "get off!"
aye! - "why yes, i agree most with everything you just said or did."
aye aye! - "i'll get right on that sir, as soon as my break is over."
arrr! - can mean, variously, "yes," "i agree," "i'm happy,"that was a clever remark you or I just made." & those are just a few of the myriad possibilities of arrr!
need a little more help? maybe you want some more advanced lingo? pirate pick up lines? pirate games? whatever it is your little heart desires you can probably find it HERE.
every once in a while, someone contacts me with a "special request". i'm loving this recent creation for a fancy lady in nyc. a little bit of glitz, a whole lot of gold & just a touch of glamour... the perfect medical id bracelet for such a swanky gal. hope she likes it as much as i do. now, i think i need a shiny gold bracelet for my wrist too.
this week is crazy... not enough time to do the things i'm "supposed" to do, let alone the things i actually want to do, such as... blogging. yet, i wanted to share with you a recent project.
kerry was moving into her new teeny-tiny, closet sized bedroom & was in need of some additional storage. luckily my mom had this old dresser in her garage. it had been my dad's growing up, it was had been in my parent's bedroom for years, & then each of my brother's had it in their care for a spell. so, kerry decided to take it under her wing. although we both agreed it needed some "sprucing up". unfortunately, for the life of me, i can't seem to find the before pictures, you'll just have to my word for it... it was very drab & boring. isn't it amazing what a little paint & some sand paper can do? i love kerry's color choices: purple, with just a peek of orange. magnificio!
gavin taking a picture, of kerry taking a picture of him.
if you're still hemming & hawing over whether or not you want to make THIS cake? here's a bit more proof, that it's absolutely delicious.... i caught gavin on top of the counter, helping himself to the remainder of the cake.
who says you can't celebrate the "every day"? gather your supplies, break out the sewing machine & let's make some "happy everything" banners. they are super easy & pretty quick... you'll be done in no time at all.
fold your fat quarter in half so that it's measurements are aprroximately 22" x 9". using your ruler, cut the fat quarter down so that it is is only 8 1/2" inches tall... the new measurements (while still folded in half ) are approximately 22" x 8.5".
for the second cut, start with your ruler at the top (the point that is now 3 inches in from the side) & angle it down, 3 more inches to the left of the center point. for example: if you look at this picture closely (if it's not big enough, click on it it enlarge). notice how on the right hand side, the lowest corner starts on the 25" mark... for the first cut, i layed my ruler starting at the 25" mark on the bottom & angled the ruler up & to the left 3", so that it ended on the 22" mark on the top. for my second cut, my ruler started on the 22" mark on the top, & then i angled the ruler down & out 3" from this middle point, so the ruler crossed the lower edge at the 19" mark.
when all is said & done, you'll have all these pretty little triangle that measures 8 1/2" tall, & 6" wide. have i lost you yet?
after you've cut the first triangle, you start all over, simply angling your next cut 3" inches up & to the left.... as you can see (in the picture), the triangles will alternate with the "points" being up on top, & then on the bottom. when you are all finished, you should be able to get approximately 6 (double-sided) flags from one fat quarter.
repeat this same "cutting" process for your remaining fat quarters. remember, you only need 24 double-sided flags (a total of 48 individual flags, hopefully that doesn't confuse you), or 18 double-sided flags (36 individual) if you are using the 3 yard bias tape.
after all your flags are cut, sew two individual flags together (wrong-sides together, with a 1/2" seam) so that you have 24 (or 18) double-sided flags. it's not necessary to sew shorter straight side of the triangle (i'm sure there is some correct, mathematical term for this side, but i have no clue what it is), because that side will be enclosed in the bias tape.
now it's time to break out the bias tape. (don't worry, we're almost done!) so what you want to do is enclose the "shorter" edges of the triangles inside the bias tape. it's much easier (although it takes a bit more time) if you pin the corners of each flag, inside the bias tape. as for spacing of the flags, that's totally up to you, personally i like the flags butted up against each other, with little or no space in between.
baby, it's time to sew! after everything has been pinned & you've made sure you've caught all those little triangle corners inside the bias tape, sew as close to the open edge of the binding as possible. (you may or may not have noticed that one side of the binding is slightly shorter than the other side. it's easiest to sew the binding, if you sew with that slightly shorter side on top.... and then, ta da! you are all done. your very own "happy everything" banner.
i love real simple's article 48 ways to be nice & improve the world around you... it's a list full of easy (& often times effortless) ways you can do a little good in the world. one of my personal favorite tips? "when someone leaves a pie plate or a casserole dish at your house, return it with something tasty inside."
twenty years from now, you probably won't even remember today. however, i truly doubt i will ever be able to forget it. today was one of those "milestone moments" that will forever be etched in my memory, right up there with all of your other "firsts". that's right, today we embarked upon a new adventure. to be honest, it's still hard to believe that you are actually starting pre-school, you just don't seem old enough! it seems like only yesterday that you were just a tiny little baby, totally & completely dependent on me for everything & anything. but, here we are, just 3 short years later, & i'm kissing you on the cheek, patting your head & watching you walk into your new classroom all on your own. i guess it's time for me to accept that you are now a big boy, or as you like to say "the man".
obviously, i don't really need to worry anymore about how you are handling all this. you seem to be doing fine. hopefully i'll adjust just as easily, & as quickly. so, i guess i'll let you go back again on thursday, if you really want to. oh, & by the way, just in case you wondering…. the required hug & kiss are definitely not optional – even if your friends are looking.
go ahead, pour yourself a tall glass of milk.
tonight we celebrated... we celebrated that gavin was starting pre-school. we celebrated fall, my favorite season. we celebrated a new & yummy dessert, thanks to kara jayne.
prepare yourself... for something so moist & delicious, you'll have a hard time eating just one slice. trust me, i'm telling you based on experience. oh! &, make sure you have some milk in the fridge, because you definitely will be wanting a glass.
You see, I love to run. That's right, I actually enjoy exercise! And for me, running is where it is at. I love being out on the open road. Feeling the pavement under my sneakers, the wind in my face. Running is "me" time. It's my opportunity to be selfish. As one of my favorite running shirts reads "it's cheaper than therapy." Now that you have a little background, let's get back to explaining the torrid affair.
For Christmas I got a bike. It had been on my list, but I hadn't really put much thought in to it. I'm not a cyclist. I took up spinning that last month or so of my pregnancy, and I thought it was fun. But that was the extent of my cycling experience. Struggling to come up with a Christmas list, I simply listed a bike. There was no make or model described, so you can imagine my surprise when I actually got one. But there was no mistaking it. Bright and early Christmas morning I woke up to a beautiful new bike.
I got it home, and didn't really know what to do with it. I was already running almost daily. When would I ever have time to ride this beautiful bike? Plus how would I ever be able to accomplish this? At least with running I can take the kids in the jogger. Owen is still way too little for a bike trailer. So I decided I needed to get a bike trainer so I could set my bike up indoors and take it for a spin.
Jeff set the trainer up, and for an entire week I couldn't bring myself to get on. I can't explain it, and it sounds totally dumb, but I was nervous. Finally one Saturday, while the boys were napping, the bike and I had our first "date." Boy, what an awkward experience. But I kept at. At first, I was only seeing the bike a couple times a week. But as we became more comfortable with one another, it became a daily experience. Suddenly 3 months had passed. I was still running everyday, but I was also biking everyday. Sometimes it's hard juggling the two, but they are both so much fun, I didn't think I could give up either.
As much fun as I was having, I still didn't feel like I had totally "committed" to the bike. You see, although I was riding nearly every day, we had not gone "all the way." After 3 months of riding, I still had yet to ride the bike outside, on the actual road. So today, I took the plunge. And I am proud to say, I am no longer a virgin biker. This morning (yep I know, chastise me all you want, I admit... I broke the sabbath) I took the bike on a 12 mile loop, and it was awesome! I was scared to death the entire time. Dozens of questions and fears continually ran through my head: What if I fall? What if I can't unclip fast enough? What if I stop on a hill, and have to get going again? What about stop lights? What about going downhill too fast? What if I can't keep up with the group? I am proud to say I encountered, and overcame every single one of fears, including falling. Yep, I fell, but not until the last five minutes of the ride. By then I was feeling confident, maybe too confident. I took a corner too quickly, got stuck in the ridge between the street and the curb, hit the curb and flew off. Luckily I landed on grass. No major injuries, just a bruised ego, and some aches and pains.
All in all, I think this will be an affair to both remember and continue.
note: if you've been reading my blog for a while, you probably already know that this was originally published HERE. but, because i've been spending so much time with my bike, as of late, i thought it was appropriate to re-publish it. (plus riding everywhere on my bike has left me much to tired, & not a lot of time to think of anything new to post.) see... here's proof that not all affairs are one night stands. some affairs can develop into consistent & steady relationships.
sometimes i like to pretend i'm camping.
3. arrange chocolate bars over dough, breaking as needed to fit. spread with marshmallow creme (or mini marshmallows). scatter bits of remaining dough over marshmallow; carefully press to form a layer.
4. bake 30 to 35 minutes or until lightly browned. cool completely in pan on wire rack. cut into bars. 16 bars.
very rich, but oh! so heavenly. it definitely hits the spot!
it's not easy been green.
actually, to tell you the truth, it's really not that hard & i'm definitely having some fun with it. after having four flat tires in one month, i finally decided maybe it was time to bite the bullet & invest in some new wheels. so two weeks ago i did just that. one week later, i come home from fabulously relaxing & well deserved trip, only to find one of my tires flat again. ay carumba! we haven't quite had time to make it over to the tire shop yet, so i've been chauffeuring the kids around on my bike. i'm actually loving it! it kinda makes running errands, and going to the grocery store - fun. although, i do arrive a little bit sweatier & more disheveled looking than usual. so far, nobody's made any comments yet, about me stinking too much... hopefully if i just load up on the deodorant i'll be good. maybe this will have to become a regular thing! i'm always looking for little ways i can "do my part".
ruffles, tulle & a whole lot of sass! what more could a girl want? any & every little girl would love baking, dancing or twirly in the kitchen, in this hot little number. & with just a touch of gingham, it's perfect for this summer's tie on one apron project.

U.S. Capitol riot hearing reveals Trump's allies, daughter denies allegations of fraud
Congressional committee investigating Donald Trump supporters trying to undo his defeat in 2020 In an election against the U.S. Capitol on Thursday, he testified that close allies – even his daughter – have denied his false allegations of voting fraud.
U.S. House of Representatives Selection Committee investigating the 2021 January 6 also showed videos of thousands of rioters attacking police and invading the Capitol. It was the first of six scheduled hearings to show that the former Republican president had planned to illegally maintain power.
The Democratic-led committee presented a video with testimony from prominent figures in the Trump administration, including his daughter Ivank Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, Attorney General William Barr, campaign spokesman Jason Miller, and General Mark Milley.

Also shown was part of Trump's inciting speech against the attack, in which he repeated false allegations of election fraud and directed his supporters 'anger at Vice President Mike Pence, who was in the Capitol overseeing Democrat Joe Biden's election victory in Congress. prevention failed.
Some Congressional Republicans condemned D. Trump a few days after the attack, but most have since changed their melody, supported it, and downplayed the violence of the day. Trump himself followed Republicans who voted to blame him for his actions and supported them in key rivals before Nov. 8. the forthcoming mid-term elections, which will determine Congressional control for the next two years. read more
Democrat committee chairman Bennie Thompson said Trump was at the center of a conspiracy to disrupt American democracy and block a peaceful transfer of power.
"January 6 was the culmination of a coup d'état, an audacious attempt to overthrow the government, as one writer said shortly after Jan. 6," Thompson said. "The violence was not accidental. That was Mr Trump's last speech.
In a testimony filmed in the video, Barr said: "I have made it clear that I do not agree with the idea of saying the election was stolen and announcing these things that I call stupidity. And, you know, I didn't want to take part in it. "
Barro's attitude convinced Trump's daughter.
"I respect Attorney General Barr. So I agreed with what he said," Ivanka Trump said in a testimony filmed in the video.
Mr Trump, who is publicly flirting with another White House post in 2024, issued a statement before the meeting calling the committee "political bandits."
"Aware of the rioters' chanting of 'hanging Mike Pence,'" the president replied, "Well, maybe our supporters have the right idea," said spokeswoman Liz Cheney, one of two Republicans in the nine-member commission. and its Vice-Chair.
After resigning last year, Trump continued his false claims that his defeat in 2020. in the election, Biden was the result of widespread fraud. This claim was rejected by a number of courts, state election officials and members of his own administration.

"We cannot live in a world where the current administration remains in power on the basis of an approach unsupported by concrete evidence of election fraud," said Barras, who resigned about two weeks before the Capitol attack. video.
Kushner was shown in a video in which the threats of some of Trump's aides to resign after the riots were dismissed as "whining."
The meeting was also attended by two witnesses who testified in person: U.S. Capitol Police Officer Caroline Edwards, who suffered a brain injury during the attack, and Nick Quested, a filmmaker who captured footage of the far-right group Proud Boys, accused of aiding in planning. attack.
Edwards described the insurgents 'insults, which were thrown at her during the clash, but said she was proud to have been beaten with them even after the injury.
"I slipped into people's blood," Edwards said. "It was a massacre. It was chaos."
"What I saw was just a war scene," Edwards added.
"Called the crowd"
The crowd attacked police, sent lawmakers and Pence to flee for their safety, and caused millions of dollars in damage. Four people were killed that day, one was killed by police and the others by natural causes. More than 100 police officers were injured and one died the next day. Four officers later died from suicide.
"Those who invaded our Capitol and fought law enforcement for hours were motivated by what President Trump told them: that the election was stolen and that he was a legitimate president," Cheney said. "President Trump has called a crowd, assembled a crowd and ignited the attack."
Cheney has warned his fellow Republicans who voted to remove her from office as head of the House of Representatives: "The day will come when Donald Trump will not be there, but your disgrace will remain."
Cheney noted that several Republican congressmen after the Jan. 6 contacted the White House to apologize for its alleged role in trying to cancel the election.
Biden described the attack on Thursday as a "clear, gross violation of the Constitution."
A Reuters / Ipsos poll released on Thursday highlighted the partisan lens through which many Americans view the attack. Among Republicans, it was found that about 55% believed the false statement that left-wing protesters were leading the attack, and 58% believed that most protesters complied with the law.
Georgia's two Republican election officials, who Trump tried to press to "find" votes that would undo his defeat in the election, will testify at a hearing later this month, a source familiar with the issue said. read more
