"One believes a woman’s right to choose should be protected for future generations; one does not...."

“

One believes a woman’s right to choose should be protected for future generations; one does not. That difference, given the likelihood of Supreme Court vacancies, weighs heavily on my decision.

One recognizes marriage equality as consistent with America’s march of freedom; one does not. I want our president to be on the right side of history.

One sees climate change as an urgent problem that threatens our planet; one does not. I want our president to place scientific evidence and risk management above electoral politics.

Whose music has helped you over a breakup?
Definitely the ‘N Sync Christmas album [Home for Christmas]. I’m sure that’s helped everyone over a breakup at some point.

What song would you like played at your funeral?
I have no idea. Maybe “It’s a Small World” from the ride at Disneyland. It’s such a true statement.

“Once you start looking for a problem, someone’s going to find one, and attention deficit has become the go-to diagnosis, increasing by an average of 5.5 percent a year between 2003 and 2007, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As of 2010, according to the National Health Interview Survey, 8.4 percent, or 5.2 million children, between the ages of 3 and 17 had been given diagnoses of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.”

I’m 100% convinced had Ritalin been “in vogue” when I was a kid I would been asked to be put on it (I was pretty hyper active). Luckily I had smart, patient, caring parents. It’s so sad we as a society are in such a rush to medicate kids to be “normal”. My top parenting goal: Let Emma be Emma and develop at her own pace and own level, whatever that might be. She’ll figure it out.

"‘Gamify-it’ strategy: Tom, a future star financial analyst, couldn’t concentrate on math..."

Mon, 23 Jul 2012 07:21:58 -0400

“‘Gamify-it’ strategy: Tom, a future star financial analyst, couldn’t concentrate on math at school. Even more worrisome, he spent long hours playing computer games. Dad wondered: How come Tom can’t focus on Maths but can focus intensely on computer games?
The answer lies in ‘game’. Game has (1) clear goals, (2) instant feedback, and (3) a difficulty level that is challenging yet achievable. When playing a game, the player gets into a ‘flow’. ‘Flow’ is a state of high concentration that brings out peak performance. It’s what Michael Jordan experienced at basketball, what Einstein experienced with relativity research - and also what Tom experienced with computer games! J Dad then created math games to ‘play’ with Tom. Voila! He became hooked onto math.
This week, let’s try to gamify our challenges with clear goals, rapid feedback and increasing difficulty levels.”

Kirk Love: Advice: Wait 24 Hours.:

kirklove:

Sometimes things in the moment affect you and you react. Typically the reaction is poor and not well thought out and you regret it. Instead try this – wait 24 hours. If it’s still bothering you then address it calmly and with proper thought. I’ve used this approach the last few months and it’s…
