One of my photography goals has been to try a levitation photo, and I think I can successfully check that off my to-do list. It was easier than I expected, at least with a levitation photo this basic. But damn, no one tells you how much your back hurts after balancing on a stepladder for a photo! Sacrifices for art.
Inspired by the Learning Analytics and Knowledge Conference, LAK11. More explanation: dougclow.wordpress.com/2011/02/28/the-learning-analytics-...
I knew how to emboss before I joined the HA group but never really used it... so here is my go at clear embossing with the heart winged butterfly stamp.... can you guess I LOVE this stamp!! ! LOL!!!
Black cardstock and black envelope stamped with versamark and heat embossed with clear powder. Labels one die cut and coloured pearls black with a sharpie (another new thing I learnt recently). pp by K&Co (Amy Butler) Sentiment from CL277.
I also embossed a butterfly on the envelope flap and put a white insert into the card.

Q: Why don’t we forget how to ride a bike?
A: Theory holds several clues to support the oft-heard phrase “just like riding a bike.”
Riding a bicycle is what motor control experts tend to refer to as a “continuous task,” compared to discrete tasks with definite endings (like turning a key to start your car). Peter van Kan, kinesiology professor at UW-Madison, said research has laid out three reasons why bicycle riding feels like second nature.
Discrete tasks draw more on verbal and cognitive skills, while continuous tasks are written into a more reflexive mechanism in the mind. Continuous tasks also require — and are more likely to be given — more attention and time during the learning process, and thus become further ingrained.
“One way to look at it is a continuous task may incorporate many discrete actions,” van Kan said. “(While learning) a continuous task you have many more opportunities to accomplish the many discrete tasks.”
Most important, van Kan said, might be the way we judge bicycle riders. If you learn to ride a bicycle, but then stay out of the saddle for several years, your first few cranks of the pedals post-lay-off may not make you look like Lance Armstrong.
“You may be a little unstable at first,” van Kan said. “But very quickly, as you are repeating those many discrete tasks, you are renewing what you learned years before and you may quickly be stable and appear to be a good bicycle rider.”
I'm not sure if this will appeal to everyone but I quite like it, I took loads of pictures of these cygnets ( seems funny now calling them cygnets ! ) on what must have been one of their first flights but none of them were really sharp. I couldn't focus on the eye without chopping them in half so just had to focus on the body and pray, I know I could've changed the focus points but that would be fiddly at the best of times !
PS quite chuffed the Stop The Cull site are using one of my badger pics :

I know it wasn't taken at night but an excuse to mention one of my favourite Jimi Hendrix songs, ' Night Bird Flying ' :
For the learning challenge. I FINALLY caved. ;) Printed off the free "Friendship Definition" digi kit found at 2 peas: www.twopeasinabucket.com/shop/hero-arts/83717-digikit-ha-.... Used it in 2 sizes. Larger for the strip and a smaller size to use with the MS 3 Butterflies punch. Also used Line and Flower DB stamp with Versamark on thee background but it's hard to see in the picture. Notecard, gems and felt flower all HA.
Into the distance a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses real
A fatal attraction holding me fast how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?

A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

TEDxPioneerValley, an independently organized event licensed by TED, explores learning that takes place in unexpected ways, cracking open traditional notions of how learning happens. The day-long conference at Amherst College Jan. 21, 2012, is presented in collaboration with the Holyoke Community College Adult Learning Center, Amherst College, Smith College and Mount Holyoke College.

This Planet replica was built by the Friends of the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester, and is operated by volunteers.
Planet was an early steam locomotive built in 1830 by Robert Stephenson and Company for the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. It was the first locomotive to employ inside cylinders, and subsequently the 2-2-0 type became known as planets.
Machine learning is one of the rapidly developing fields of science, which uses artificial intelligence. This technology allows computers to learn, analyze and search for the most effective solution. Machine learning agency Riot can help to improve many of the processes taking place in the company.
There’s more to language learning than picking up dates in a foreign country. We investigated some of the craziest methods of adult language education out there.
