What do you think?Visit St. Augustine, Florida—the oldest city in the U.S.—for a historical family vacation.
For your next educational family vacation, consider a trip to St. Augustine, Florida—the oldest city in the U.S.—which celebrated its 450th anniversary last month. Founded by the Spanish in 1565, this small town of approximately 12,000 residents has a lot to offer in the way of family-friendly learning.
Show older kids the site of the horrific event at Monson Motor Lodge—credited in some respects as leading to the passage of the Civil Rights Act—where whites and blacks were protesting segration by swimming in the pool together, an act that was against the law at the time. In response to this swim-in, the hotel owner poured acid into a pool, killing or severely hurting many. A plaque at the pool's location commemorates the story, which marks a turning point in America's history, since the Civil Rights Act was passed the following day.
Then, take a walk through downtown St. Augustine and learn about the city's growth in the 1800s, thanks in part to Henry Flagler, a renaissance man from New York. After making his millions in standard oil, he moved to Florida and built several luxurious hotels and purchased a series of short line railroads, that later became known as the Florida East Coast Railway, making northern Florida more accessible and encouraging the city's development.
If visiting in warmer months, I recommend stopping by the pristine beaches at the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club to search for tiny shark's teeth, which are commonly found in the area, and to see the U.S.'s largest Karastan rug. (Fun fact: The second largest is in the White House.) I was lucky enough to stay in a beachfront room there during my trip this summer, and I highly recommend it for families since there are so many services readily available on-site, from ocean-certified lifeguards to $3/hour babysitting to bike rentals.
Now I'm not the kind of gal who usually likes to vacation in the same place twice, but the beautiful, historic city of St. Augustine is one destination I want to visit again.

The Red great signed his name and “HOF 89” in black marker on the barrel. In addition to moderate pine tar and what appears to be minor smoke-related damage in the handle area, there are ball marks on the barrel. “5” is written in black marker on the knob.
The papers gathered in the present collection investigate time and temporality from a number of interdisciplinary perspectives: literary or film studies, postcolonial theory, physics, philosophy, psychology, urban studies, history and gender studies. This wide spectrum of scholarly approaches encompasses chapters dealing with the convergences of time and the human psyche; time and the body; time a… nd memory; time and trauma; time and change; time and cultural reproduction; time and language; time and the city; and time and identity. It transpires that the imaginary refigurations of time more often than not constitute resistance against the linearity of chronometric time, represented by institutions, capitalism, government and power, and attempts to colonize the human psyche. In attempting to assault this hegemony of linear time, literary, cinematographic and cultural practice enacts exploding temporalities to reflect the multifacetedness and multidirectionality of the human experience of time.The cultural critic Fredric Jameson once claimed historians while they were writing must think'self-consciously about their own thought', to be both 'conscious and self-conscious' at one and the same time. Turner's deconstruction of the American past meant rejecting the European-biased Teutonic origins theory dominating American history, offering instead 'a steady growth of independence on American lines' which directly related the 'free land' of the frontier and the exceptional character of American nationality. The political and cultural implications of the swift emergence of metropolitanism, industrialism and cosmopolitanism were vast, producing slums, municipal corruption, the vilest conditions of factory life, racism and the trust. The Turner Thesis as a signifier collapses both meaning and form, its first-order linguistic meaning extant as a narrative explanation of American history, its second-order mythic dimension acting to contain the class and industrial contradictions introduced into the bourgeois culture of the new order.For those of you needing a closer look...

Bedpost Confessions, Austin.Recently, I’ve been thinking about global warming, climate change, and how it affects me and I’ve come to the conclusion that although everybody is talking about it virtually nothing of any significance is happening and I wonder why. Here are my thoughts. First, here’s a summary of climate change.
Climate change is a significant change to weather patterns in a particular region such as a change in monsoon timing and intensity in the Earth’s tropical monsoon regions, or a change in month-by-month average temperatures or rain downfall in temperate climates, or an increase in average temperatures that cause ice melt in the polar regions or glacier melt in high mountain ranges, and so on.
Natural events such as earthquakes, lightning strikes or volcano eruptions, changes in the sun’s activity, or man-made caused by the increase in so-called greenhouse gases that trap heat in the atmosphere causing a rise in the Earth’s ground-level (tropospheric) temperatures.
Any gas that absorbs and emits heat in the form of infrared light. The main greenhouse gases are ozone, methane, nitrous oxide, water vapour and carbon dioxide.
The Earth has a natural layer of greenhouse gases that, until recently, has maintained reasonably stable atmospheric temperatures around the planet – coldest in areas furthest away from the sun (the North and South Poles), warmest around the areas closest to the sun (the Equatorial lands and sea masses).
Where do these gases come from?
Ozone occurs naturally in the stratosphere (a layer between 30 km and 50 km above sea level) and was created when life on Earth
