1. In first grade I was very introverted. In fact, I was nearly held back in Kindergarten for social reasons.
2. In second grade my math homework was rarely finished and when it was, it was terribly messy. My teacher knew I could do it. She figured I was bored, so she gave me a fourth grade math book that I could work in, but only if my regular work was complete and neat.
3. In third grade my teacher left the profession at Christmas to have a baby. She was replaced by a student-teacher we had in the first half of the year.
4. In fourth grade I began to get over my fear of weather and began to love weather thanks to a unit studying the subject.
5. In fifth grade I becan to play the trumpet, which I still play today (29 years later).
6. In sixth grade my teacher was in the first year of her career. She is the only teacher of mine still in the profession.
7. In seventh grade I first had my mom as a teacher. She tought seventh and eighth grade geography. She was the best and toughest teacher I ever had.
8. In eighth grade I had considerably conquered my introvertedness. I participated in the state solo and ensemble contest taking 3 firsts (solo trumpet, solo voice, voice sextet) and 1 second (trumpet duet).
9. In ninth grade I was the only freshman in the school's concert choir.
10. In tenth grade I marched on the field of Northwestern University during halftime of the Class 5A state football game, which we lost.
11. In eleventh grade I played Teen Angel in Grease. Obviously, I was the comic relief.
12. In twelfth grade I played Linus Van Pelt in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. To this day, it is the greatest time I have had on stage.
13. In my freshman year of college I was a member of the Eastern Illinois University Panther Marching Band, which marched at Soldier Field in Chicago during the halftime of a Bears game.

For weeks I’ve been trying to think of some comforting words to write to the family of Horst (*hb19) who passed away and left flickr world mourning for an incredible nice and kind man – someone I would have loved to meet in person.
It’s Friday and I have a day off… sitting on my balcony I thought “Horst would have sent us Friday-flowers…” And then I looked into the sun and thought “this is how he saw the world – bright and wonderful”. This is for you, Horst… and for your family. We won’t forget you - rest in peace.

Scotland For Ever.
Lady Elizabeth Butler (1846-1933).
Oil on canvas, 1881.
Named after a battle cry, 'Scotland for Ever!', this is one of the most popular paintings created by Lady Elizabeth Butler, depicting the charge of the Royal North British Dragoons (The Scots Greys) at the Battle of Waterloo. The popularity of 'Scotland Forever' became even more apparent during the First World War when both the British and the Germans used the image for propaganda purposes.
From 1862 Lady Elizabeth Butler began her studies of art in Italy, then in 1866 she went to South Kensington, London where she enrolled at the Female School of Art. Moving to Florence in 1869 where she studied under Giuseppe Bellucci and attended the Accademia di Belle Arti. She often signed her works as Mimi Thompson.
Famous for her paintings of battle scenes, Lady Elizabeth Butler was a remarkable artist, being one of only a few 19th century women to acquire fame for their historic paintings. Prior to her fame as a battle scene artists she had focussed on religious subjects, but in 1870 she was inspired by the works of Jean Louis Ernest Meissonier and Edouard Detaille, from then on she changed her focus to depicting heroic actions of soldiers of the ranks. In her 1922 autobiography she wrote about her military paintings: "I never painted for the glory of war, but to portray its pathos and heroism."
Born at Villa Claremont in Lausanne, Switzerland, her other works include the Crimean War and the Battle of Waterloo, The Roll Call (purchased by Queen Victoria) and The Defence of Rorke's Drift.
Her marriage to the distinguished British Army Lieutenant-General Sir William Francis Butler in 1877 resulted in six children, and a new era in her life as she travelled the British Empire. During their empire travels both she and her husband started to believe that the empire rulers of Britain and Europe may not provide the most positive experience for those whose land they ruled over. Even so, she continued to paint scenes showing the valour of the ordinary British soldier.
Although she herself never witnessed war, she achieved more than any woman before or during her time in this field of art.
On her husband's retirement from the army, they moved to Bansha Castle, County Tipperary, Ireland. During the Irish Civil War a collection of watercolours she had created from their time in Palestine were moved to Gormanston Castle for safe keeping, later they were moved to London. Ironically they were almost all destroyed during the German Blitz of London.
Lady Butler was widowed in 1910, passing away herself in 1933.

Let me introduce you my new outfit made with ingenuousness for Sophia. She desired an "Sailor" dress set.
Regarding the colors, I did a study around the tones of an old doll whose the atmosphere is a very soft sailor witch I love a lot.
So a base of ivory and blue-gray with a touch of tonic red.
This set consists of a dress, an overskirt, removable collar and stockings.
- The high waist overskirt typically nautical have two folds that open onto a striped fabric and bordered by dark green lines. A light silk ribbon bow, small brass buttons and a brass star adorn this skirt.
- The dress is cut in a lined fabric and trimmed with lace and ribbon at the bottom.
- For the stockings and the dress's breastplate, I painted myself red stripes on an ivory fabric to give an old craft touch.
- The removable sailor collar finished by a small red bow, edged with fine aqua silk ribbon
I also want to introduce you one of my new dolls customized by me during the past months.
Her name is "My Bloomy" because she's very inspired by Bloomy Bloomsbury, one of my favorite Blythe.
She is a FBL original Takara Blythe "Prima Dolly Tokyo", I bought her second hand to be customized for me.

In this lively introduction to programming for iOS, kids taught a turtle to move around the computer screen. Using the ideas from Turtle Logo, we worked with the latest version of Apple’s Playgrounds to teach kids to write and reason about sequences of computer commands.
By the end of this two hour Turtle workshop, everyone had built up routines of their own that you can call to produce interesting patterns and designs.

Basically for most of this entire piece I have been using only my .25 mm pen and .30 mm pen. Except for the night sky and also the crow’s which I used my .30 mm pen to outline the high lights on the wings and such then came back and filled in with a 1.20 mm pen which makes filling in large areas of ink so much easier although be careful because does lay down a large amount of ink and tends to dry slowly so pay attention to any chances of smearing the ink into areas you do not wish it to be. Once I completed filling in the large black areas I then used my .30 mm pen to just add some small quick line work to the feathers but not all of them. Keep some of them free of any ink to give more high lights to the birds wings.
Now for the background of the sky I used my .25 mm pen and used the swirl technique but much more tightly spaced then in any other piece I have covered before. It is extremely difficult so if you wish you can use either just a nice stippled in background or more loosely placed swirls. It really is a wonderful technique because it just makes you see movement in a 2 dimensional piece. For the clouds I just used some loosely placed stippling to add some depth and dimension and also texture to the clouds.
In next post I will cover the mediums I used to create myself and my hand. Any questions just email me and I’ll get back to you as soon as I possibly can.

I was at Dyer waiting for a late running Q642 to get through town when I heard him call a "clear" at the Dyer diamonds, the crossing of the CN ex EJ&E mains. I started to get set up when a CN work train came rolling through at track speed, running right in front of the northbound CSX freight. Q642 went in the big hole and managed to stop in time as the yellow CN train kept rolling east. So, Q642's conductor had to walk the train to make sure the hazmat cars were all OK. Unfortunately, the train had Route 30 blocked for over half an hour at 600pm, not good. Back on the move, SD70MAC 4827 finally comes into the interlocking.
For the past two years, the Yahoo! broadband portals editorial team has gathered in November to meet, strategize, get to know each other better, and attend the worst local tourist attraction possible. That final item is a lofty goal, I know -- especially when we are pressed for time to quickly ferret out the very hokiest a prime city like London (or San Francisco) has to offer.
Miraculously, we've had the pure, serendipitous luck to happen upon what I think might just qualify. It's been exhilariting. Last November, the team met in London, where we did wonderful things like go to the London Eye, take midnight walking tours of the city, and dine in style. We also chose, as our one night of London theater, to attend "http://www.jerryspringertheopera.com/jerry_opera.html." Now, mind you, this performance had a lot of buzz and of course appealed to us pop-culture-loving broadband editor types. However, I am thrilled to report that it was likely the single most terrible theater experience I've ever had. Some of us watched agog, some of us complained, and almost all of us slept at some point. The music was horrible, the jokes untenable, and the production unbearably long. But don't despair! We got so much mileage out of it, honestly -- we're still singing operatic expletives whenever afforded the opportunity.
Flash-forward precisely one year. This month, we hosted the broadband editors here in San Francisco, where we've all really run dry in terms of creative sightseeing opportunities. Thus, when presented with the idea of a San Francisco Ghost Hunt, we were overjoyed! Something different, interesting, and possibly truly abomidable! Of course, we had no idea that the tour would be so long and so boring -- but by the grace of god, it surely was. The guide did fabulous thingslike forget where he was in his (not at all scary) story and then tell it twice, or thrice; make weird "spooky" finger motions while saying the word "paaaaaaarty," and attempt to makebad jokes with business cards. My boss and I could barely stop giggling.
It's tough to say which wins for best worst tourist attraction -- Jerry, or the Ghost Hunter. While Jerry did have a character dressed as gay Jesus in a diaper, the Ghost Hunt made us stand on our feet for 3 hours. Tough call. What I do know for sure is that we'll continue to cherish these team memories for years to come.

Harvard's Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, "the only building on the North American continent designed by the famous French architect Le Corbusier."
The "No Parking" sign -- one of so, so many in Harvard Square -- was in my way. I chose to include it because signs like this are an integral part of everyone's Harvard and Cambridge experience. (Unless, of course, you arrive and depart by subway, as I usually do.)
Last summer, the Kings of Leon and Flaming Lips teamed up for "Rock for Oklahoma," a benefit gig at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in OKC to help those who had lost their homes during a series of horrific tornadoes here in Oklahoma.
The two headliners were joined by Built to Spill, Ben Kweller and Jackson Browne. For some reason I never uploaded these here, but here they are now.

For Monthly Scavenger Hunt. I had quite a time trying to decide what to do for this shot. Thought about going to an arcade and shooting something, but wanted something simpler. Then I found this old controller and decided to shoot it and see what came to mind. This is what I came up with.
