Lesson:
Fold a large piece of paper into two columns. Invite one family member to act as scribe. Ask your family to list reasons why they love little children and have the scribe write their responses in the left-hand column. Then display the picture Christ and the Children (Gospel Art Kit, no. 608) as a family member reads aloud Luke 18:15-17. Have the scribe add the Savior's teachings about little children in the right-hand column. Ask:
Why do you think the disciples tried to keep little children away from Jesus?
What can we learn about little children from Jesus' response to them?
Invite your family to write in their journals a childlike quality that is missing from their lives and how they will better develop that quality.
Story:
Elder Adam S. Bennion
The two following incidents, related by the principal of one of Utah's high schools, illustrate clearly the difference between a repentant and a self-justifying attitude. Two boys had been caught stealing - one had taken some money from another student's locker, and the other had stolen some tools from the manual training department. It is a regrettable fact that stealing should be found in American schools where every possible advantage is given to boys and girls, practically free of charge. But there are students who seem to have little self-respect and little respect for the rights of others.
The boys were called into the office and each one was interviewed separately. The boy who had taken the money was resentful. He said that he was not the only boy in the school who was stealing. Why did not the principal find the others and punish them too? Anyway, he felt that he had a right to take money if a fellow didn't know better than to leave it in a locker that wasn't locked.
The boy who had taken the tools felt altogether different. He was ashamed to think that he would lower himself to the level of a thief. He explained that he knew better than to steal but he had seen the tools lying around, they were just what he needed in doing some work at home, he couldn't afford to buy them, and thinking that perhaps they would never be missed, he took them. When he reached home, he could not make proper explanation to his parents and he was sent back to the school to be disciplined.
The principal was anxious to help both boys - he not only wanted them to finish their schooling - he wanted them to learn one of life's greatest lessons - that honesty is one of the grandest principles in the world. He explained to them that they would have to appear before the teachers of the school, make a statement of the whole affair, and give assurances that such actions would never be repeated.
The boy who had stolen the money flatly refused. He would rather quit school than, as he called it, "be disgraced." The law of the school was enforced and he was asked to withdraw. He left the school with defiance in his soul and with a sort of determination that he would get even with somebody - though he didn't seem to know just who it should be.
Out of the school he found that he had lost the respect of his old comrades, and the new ones who took their places were of a far inferior sort. He soon went from bad to worse until when last heard of he had been sent to the State Industrial School where he might be prevented from committing further crime.
The boy, on the other hand, who had taken the tools agreed to do as the principal required. It was a hard thing to do, of course. In fact, it was the hardest he had ever encountered. He not only was ashamed for what he had done, but how could he ever look those teachers in the face again? But feeling really sorry for the offense, he found courage to take the penalty. He was so manly and frank about it that every one of the teachers, who heard his confession, came to admire him more than ever before. They became his friends and took particular pains to help him find and develop his better self. When he was graduated from the school two years later he was an honor student - respected by every student who knew him. The humility of repentance had led him into a new life. Let us remind ourselves of that beautiful passage in the Doctrine and Covenants, Sec. 112, the tenth verse: "Be thou humble, and the Lord thy God shall lead thee by the hand, and give thee answer to thy prayers.
Activity:
Play "Spoon and Beans."
Each player is given a small cup full of beans and a small spoon. Emptying the cup on a table, each tries to fill it again with the beans by using only the spoon. If a person uses his other hand he must start over. The first to replace all the beans in his cup is the winner.

My Arthur had a piano lesson today and I managed to capture a moment of it without their knowledge.
I love that he wants me to sit in on it: it's a rare glimpse of his life that I know won't last.
I did some publicity photos for our business today. This one was too dark to be useful, but a little bit of post-processing made for an interesting shot.
Sarah and a random dog on Primrose Hill, during her birthday picnic. Some intense studying is going on.
Just started shooting photos friday after work up in the foothills about an hour from sacramento. I get a call from my ex saying she ran over my 13 yr olds leg in her suv. Of course my phone is barely coming in and this is coming in with lots of static. When she was about to pull in the garage he decided to jump out thinking she had stopped ... slips gets leg run over. SO I rush to the hospital he has two broken bones or smashed as the doctor said he will be in a cast for at least 6 weeks. He was really bummed when he found out his competitive soccer team is going to Orlando next month for a big tourny. We see a specialist this week hopefully they can get him up and playing again.
Indoor prompt -- Watercolor pencil edges of fireplace - Ink, then painted that focus- decided to add the picture window that is next to it - left colors light to keep focus on fireplace -- I am pretty happy with the result - still desire more spontaneity and looseness.
be confident in your decisions - even if you're not really sure where you're going.

Lesson book on how to make up like a doll~
I got this book in 2011, I was intrigued by the pages in it, plus a reference for an actress in a short film I was shooting at that time.
This graphic is what will appear at the end of a lesson that was created using SoftChalk.
The LessonReporting feature is activitated with the Print Certificate feature selected.
Had a Photoshop class with Tim Buerger the other day.
Worked on some of the photos I did in a previous strobe lesson in Minato Mirai, Yokohama. Now it feels like the lesson is complete... from the shooting to the post-production.
I was never a huge fan of flashes and non-natural light but I really like the results of this class... time to practice!

I saw this lady laying motionless on grass so my first instinct was to start CPR and as I was taught to remove the bra and get a good hand position to start chest compressions. I woke up in a jail cell with my ears ringing and a black eye. I guess I forgot the first two steps of CPR. (1) Shake the person to see if they are sleeping. (2) Check for breathing then if necessary start CPR...... I would probably do it again, you know how you forget things when you get older

I drew this completely freehand! It was difficult but didn't seem to take very long, actually less time than the other one in which I traced the bottom outline! I am glad I did this by myself.
Lesson 3 - Abstracting shapes.
Defining the objects by painting the shape around them (right of photo).
Small thumbnail in middle shows where shadows will be.
To the left of photo, the objects were drawn in watercolour pencil, then base colours were added followed by shadows.
I found this exersise a bit easier than the teapot one.
The guitar is an instrument that can be used in many different genres, from classical music to rock and heavy metal. No matter the genre you’re looking to play (if you have a specific one in mind), we offer guitar lessons for all levels of competency (beginner, moderate and advanced), and to all age groups. Whether you’re looking to learn classical guitar, acoustic guitar or electric guitar, we offer professional, well planned and organised lessons that are both enjoyable and effective.
The popularity of learning guitar in Singapore is on the rise, with more students wanting to learn, as well as more teachers offering their services. Not every student and teacher are a perfect fit however, and you have to choose carefully in order to get the most out of your guitar course; having a good guitar teacher is essential to the learning process. We believe that the enjoyment of the learning experience is important to the learning process itself and we incorporate this value into our curriculum.
The benefits of learning guitar in Singapore with us:
A break from routine:
Singapore can be a busy city, as the stereotype goes, for both adults with demanding jobs, as well as school children and students; working, studying or commuting back and forth can become a monotonous and tiring routine. Learning to play guitar is a good way to escape the busy schedules, obligations and work, and to wind down and relax, while exploring the more creative sides of your personality (that may not get to show very often).
A form of creative relaxation:
What better way to relax and get your creative juices flowing than to engage in your favourite songs in a more active way and on a deeper level?! It is possible to play most songs and pieces on the guitar to varying degrees of complexity, from very simple versions, to more intermediate and advance levels. About Music is a music and guitar school in Singapore that offers a wide variety of guitar courses. With our classical, acoustic and electrical guitar lessons, we’re here to help you start from the very basic levels, so you will have more confidence and skill to eventually play your favourite songs and pieces in richer/fuller ways!
Opportunities to play in bands and ensembles:
Because the guitar is such a versatile instrument, it sounds just as good on its own as it does along with other instruments. This means that both more introverted people wanting to play on their own, as well as people who would like to eventually be able to play in bands can benefit from our guitar courses. At About Music, we encourage and create opportunities for our students to form bands and ensembles to play together and instil confidence in performing. You don’t have to be an expert to enjoy the band experience, many of our students start from playing the basics and develop their skills further as they practice (with their bands and ensembles) what we teach them. When playing in a band, the guitar can be both the leading musical instrument, as well as a good accompaniment – this way, depending on your personality and preferences, you can choose to play prominent solo pieces or supporting background music.
Guitar as a portable instrument:
The guitar is also a very portable instrument, unlike some other larger/heavier ones, which means you can easily carry it around to different places and practice whenever you have the time to. Not to mention how attractive and impressive most guitarists look when they sling on the guitar!
So if you are wondering where you should learn guitar, look no further! Whether you’re looking to start from scratch, or to make the first step in improving your existing skills, we can customise for you fun, exciting, guitar lessons in a friendly and welcoming environment that will greatly improve your skills as well as broaden your outlook in music in general!
