This is how it goes. List 10 things that your friends may or may not know about you, but that are true. Tag ten people and be sure to let them know they’ve been tagged (a quick message will do). Don’t forget to link back to the person who tagged you. Post a picture in your stream with the 10 facts and list your tagged people :)
not in any particular order of importance ... here they are:
1.I've had a beard since 1978!
2.I love being outside at night, without a flashlight ... early on I realized scary movies changed my view on this ... so I don't watch scary movies.
3.Pancakes ... love'm ... esp with strawberries cooked in.
4.I'm developing an obsession with trying to give my photos life.
5.Divorce was the most debilitating event in my life ... and I hate how tv/movies/neighbors have made adultery into sport ... esp when there are kids : |
6.following closely behind #5, my kids were my lifeline ... I'm learning to 'walk' again.
7.I just applied for my first part time job after living off my photo art for the past 20+ years!(it was a meager living, but it housed and fed my kids!)
8.I love playing 'park' games ... ie: smash/paddle/beach ball(not sure what it's called, but it's a blast! ... hmm, maybe it called 'blast ball'!) and kicking a footbag.
9.I taught myself how to play the didjeridu during my 30min(1hr total) commute when I had a gallery 'back' in the '90's.
(whoa ... hope my kids don't read this because I'm all over them about cell phone use while driving : 0
10.I have learned so many new skills via the internet and now, new to flickr am adding even more skills ... though this tag task has been by far the most interesting ...
thanks stellarius ; )

As Audrey Charles looked around, something seemed eerily familiar about the park she was visiting with three of her classmates.
It was the park benches and the descending staircase that carried visitors down into the park space that kept her wheels spinning, trying to imagine where she had seen it all before.
Except the park was 4,300 miles farther away from home than she had traveled her entire life prior to that day.
Then it struck her.
“Those were the same seats I saw on ‘Cheetah Girls 2’ when they were in Barcelona,” Charles said. “I went, ‘Oh my God, I’m here.”
It was an epiphany shared at some level by her classmates and chaperone Beth Shoemaker, as the five ladies traversed along the Mediterranean as part of a European tour including stops in Spain, France and Italy at the end of March.
The trip was the product of DHS becoming International Baccalaureate certified, according to Shoemaker.
“They thought it would be great, since we’re IB, to offer an international trip,” said Shoemaker, who also serves as Dublin High’s media specialist.
When Shoemaker took over as advisor for the trip, she began investigating options and leaned toward Spain as a potential stop.
“Since we offer Spanish courses on campus, I thought a Spanish-speaking country would be a good idea,” Shoemaker said, “then I noticed how close Spain was to France and Italy so we turned it into a Roman Conquest tour.”
The 10-day trip carried the five from DHS, and a sister school from Maryland, to the Spanish and French countryside still holding onto relics from the Roman Empire, the watering hole of Vincent van Gogh, Monaco and the Coliseum, to name a few.
“It was an experience of a lifetime,” Charles said.
Charles was joined by Kamisha Miles, Lauren Price and Samaya Dupree, along with Shoemaker, who began their “Roman Conquest” tour in Barcelona, stopping at Park Guell; the aforementioned site from the movie.
By Day 3, the quintuplet stopped in the walled city of Carcassone, camping out at the Hotel Forum in Arles France: the once home of van Gogh.
“Our hotel was directly across from the Yellow Café where van Gogh used visit,” Shoemaker said. “It was a quiet, quaint little town. It all rolled up at 9 p.m.”
The trip continued through France with a visit to Cote d’Azur and the Roman-era Nimes-Maison Carree and Arena before heading east to a Roman aqueduct called the Pont du Gard.
Then Monaco.
“It was so beautiful,” Shoemaker said, showing a selfie that included the building-filled hills of the Riviera coastline in the background. It was in Monaco where the students broke from touring to take part in a cooking class where they constructed their own Mediterranean-stylized meals.
“All the food was amazing,” Miles said.
“My favorite part was the chocolate,” Price said with a smile. “Chocolate mousse, chocolate mocha.”
“Even at the truck stops,” Shoemaker added. “It was unbelievable. It was food you’d find in a regular restaurant in America.”
From Grace Kelly’s former home, the group headed to Florence and finally to Rome for two days touring the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain and the Piazza Navona, as well as the Ostia Antica (a large archaeological site).
“And we went to the Vatican,” added Charles, who took on a part-time job in order to cover the expense of the trip. “The ceilings there were really pretty.”
“The beauty of the Vatican Museum really struck me,” Miles said.
Every one of the women, both young and old, said the trip is one that will live on in their memories indefinitely.
“I wanted to go because I had been places before with my parents and I wanted to try it for myself,” Miles said. “When I look back on my phone I realize how great it all was.”
“I feel more confident in trying new things because of the trip,” Charles added.
“It was amazing to see them grow and mature in such a short period,” Shoemaker said. “They were a pleasure and I’d take them anywhere. I can’t wait to go back.”

I went back to work today... Four years ago, I started studying to become an English/Art teacher (Secondary). Life happened though, and I had to take a year off from study to work full-time.
After a lot of soul searching, I realized I really enjoyed teaching but HATED having to put on a mask outside the Teacher's Lounge to act like a "mature and responsible adult" - I just found it tiring and I felt so far from myself...
So when I came back to uni, I dropped my Education units (substituted with Philosophy) and I haven't looked back since. I don't know where a major in Visual Art and Minors in Literature and Philosophy will get me, but I feel... filled.
I tutor kids after school as my part-time job (they started a new school year 2 weeks ago), so I'm back to work...My students are fantastic kids and I find that I certainly learn a lot from them because we're on the same level - they laugh and talk to me without reservation, minus that intimidating mask teachers put on day-in and day-out...
Pic: Wind chime outside my side door. Angel of the sun and wind.
So I started my new part-time job last week and it has really got me motivated to seriously start thinking about developing my own new non-profit organization. We shall see... what the year brings along that line.
Something that has really been rumbling my boat has been animal neglect. Lately I've been looking on craigs list and humane society boards as I search for a kitten and it is mind boggling at how many people are trying to give away there grown cats because they "cant keep them" for various reasons... moving out of town, new place doesn't take cats... blah blah. BUNCH OF CROCK BULL SHIT! I believe when you buy an animal it is binding... i mean your buying it it's not like your giving birth to the thing so you put money resources into it and hopefully lots of thought and then the love you give the animal as you raise it... and then you abandon it??!!!! wtf? I don't understand because I love animals so much that it hurts me not to think of them as a living precious things, which I guess some people don't even think that highly of themselves.
There are also laws that are suppose to help these animals with fines and small jail sentences which are NEVER enforced unless its a large case like last month when 100 horses were released on a public park and all were starving. The law enforcement agencies could be reeling in the money with all these abandoned cats and dogs cases... more money...more jobs...simple economics.
I really think it comes down to people valuing life in general... being happy with yourself and wanting to live. I really believe the "norms" of today's society beats down tiresomely on having true happiness from making us believe we are never "skinny" enough to buying happiness with things.... why are we this way? This isn't working and our economy is showing that. We need a complete change of what I might say... heart.
I've also had conflicts on different levels on how much and where to apply my passions for wildlife, the environment, animals... there are so many areas I would looooooove to devote my time towards but almost deemed impossible. I think if I keep sticking it out like this though I think I will just know one day.... someday... :)
Arriving in casualty we found our son seriously injured.
He was hit by a brick thrown through a bus window as he travelled home from his part time job. He survived but has partial hearing loss in his left ear. The scum that did this were never caught despite having cctv footage!
Congolese women are always working. Most times, they are doing two or three things at once. And it is multi-tasking of a physical nature.
One of functions of a Congolese woman is motherhood. Child-rearing is a popular part-time job. There is no such thing a full-time or stay-at-home mother.

Yup, that's my occasional office now...never thought I'd say I was a Bus Conductor.
As far as part time jobs go, this one ain't bad at all!

Tom Schandy from Norway has been interested in birds since he was a small boy. 12 years old he had his own bird-column in the local newspaper, and soon he started to illustrate his bird articles with own pictures. He studied biology at the University of Oslo and made his master on the lekking behaviour of the Great Snipe, and he financed his studies by selling pictures of birds and other creatures.
After finishing his studies he got a part-time job in WWF Norway, first as a conservation officer, later as an information officer. Rest of the time he worked as a freelance wildlife photographer and author. I 2000 he became full time author and professional wildlife photographer – and has never looked back. Now he searches the globe for nature – in order to write articles and make books. So far he has been involved in more than 20 books, mainly on natural history. Many books are local nature books, but he also made a book about Africa which has been published in both Norwegian, Swedish, English and Spanish (The magnificent Africa).
The last few years he has been concentrating on Latin-Americas wildernesses, and just now he is moving his attention to the northern wildernesses of the world, like Alaska, Canada. Spitsbergen and Russia.
The aspect of nature conservation forms a vital part of Tom Schandys photography. If his photos, books and articles on nature and wildlife can be used to promote the enjoyment of nature and inspire nature conservation and biological diversity, then much of the purpose has been achieved!
ive been so busy recently and I am starting a part time job tomorrow and i will finally have time for takeing new photos and friends and catching up on my life. but for now heres an old photo of michelle.
Omg I miss you guys so much you don't understand. Haven't been in the hobby lately due to school and the lack of income I am receiving thanks to my horrible part time job. I graduate in 3 more months I hope to have found a job in my field. I have been so inspired to change up my crews appearance but don't have the funds to do so. It sucks cause I really wanna develop each of them more but it will have to wait a while longer. In the mean time I have been watching your youtube videos and adding items to my wish list. It would be neat if you guys can give me ideas on clothes wigs and accessories for them. >.< Luv ya!!!
He was standing om SE Hawthorne Blvd, next to the neighborly grocery market, holding a bunch of newspapers and kindly greeting everyone. "Hello, how are you today?"
I bought the newspaper for a dollar and introduced myself.
"We buy the paper for 25 cents and with the profit we help the homeless people. You can have more information in here," he said with a friendly smile handing me a copy of 'Street roots'.
"Are you homeless?" I asked concerned, although somehow, I didn't think he was.
"Oh no, I live in Salem," Kenny replied and I felt relieved, "it's only a 45 minute drive. I do it with my Honda, it's pretty good on low gas.
- This is a part time job, I want to be involved in helping. I get a chance to talk to people and I like it.
I work at Nike and I study political science, too. I am interested in mechanics as well, I am going to take a course..."
"You are a very busy man, Kenny, but may I take your picture?
"Sure you may!"
I showed him the pictures on my camera display, and after exchanging a few more words, we wished each other Happy Holidays and parted.
From the corner of my eye I spotted David, (see note), the homeless young man I met a few weeks ago.
www.flickr.com/photos/timelessriver/8183292350/
I went over to say hello. He was still holding the sign "I am hungry and homeless". I asked where he had sleeping lately and he said he was staying with a friend.
I wished him better luck and walked away with my grand-baby in the stroller, praying her life will be a good one.
There is so much misery in this world we share. I feel a never ending gratitude in my heart for all that I have in life, mainly the love of my family & friends and the freedom to come and go in considerably good health.

Online courses have become an attractive alternative to the on-campus classroom environment. Students can now complete assignments at their leisure and go on with their busy everyday routines. Since the first Ole Miss online course was offered in 2001, online courses have become increasingly popular, particularly within the last five to 10 years, according to the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning. For the 2013 spring semester, Ole Miss is offering 58 online courses. There are courses offered from campus schools such as the School of Education, the School of Applied Sciences, the College of Liberal Arts and the School of Journalism. Although online courses do not require students to actually attend class on campus, most online courses do have one proctored exam during the semester. Some courses also include weekly online meetings or discussion boards. Those enrolled in the course must log in online and participate in group conversations through a program known as Angel or through their university Blackboard account. Online instructors are still available to their students through email or arranged in-person meetings, just as they would be available to students in a traditional class setting. Sophomore hospitality management major Jillian Harris has a part-time job off campus, so the traditional course times offered did not fit into her schedule. An online course was the only option. “It’s hard,” she said, “because in the classroom you are actually forced to pay attention. You’re already sitting in class so you might as well make your time worthwhile.” She said online classes are more difficult. “Your teacher posts podcasts, which can be anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours, and you have to force yourself to listen to them and really be an active listener,” she said. Anne Klingen, the director of Ole Miss Online, has the same perspective on online courses. “Online classes are harder for students that are used to being participants in the classroom and being fed by the instructor,” Klingen said. “With online classes you must be very active and self-motivated. Most students aren’t ready for that online model and tend to struggle at first.” Both part-time and full-time students make use of online courses. “Many full-time students enjoy the flexibility of online, self-paced courses because they can schedule them around their regular courses, and part-time students particularly may have difficulty fitting traditional courses into their schedules,” said Rebekah Reysen, a learning specialist at the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning. The cost of an Ole Miss Online course is the same as a traditional 3-hour course, with out-of-state tuition still applied. The Department of Financial Aid also states that students will be charged an additional $33.33 per credit hour online course fee for each online course.

October 12.............Inspired by Mav's ring shot from yesterday, so I'm living up to the challenge of copycat, I simply personalized my copy! These tattoos are our wedding rings....we were married in Vegas and bought rings exactly like these tats to use during the ceremony. When we got home, we had a friend tattoo them on our arms and we replaced them with traditional wedding bands!
My husband starts his new job tomorrow, very exciting, but what will become of me???? I hope that this house does not become a prison like my last house! I have got to find a good part time job, or something to get me out of the house and a litlle break from baby-land! Not that I don't enjoy staying home with my son, it's just too much of a good thing.......

There's a vast world of colors out there, divided into hues and shades! We as photographers have the unique opportunity to capture and to give new meaning to the visible spectrums all about us.
I'm beginning a journey to capture some facet of this beauty each day for a year. I know that my last was far from a success (we won't talk about it), but I hope that, between a graduate-level workload at school and a part-time job, I will be able to find the time to enjoy my hobby.
Part Time Job #1
I work as a substitute teacher at an Early Learning Center (a Daycare/Pre-k). Today I was working in the infants room (6 months through 1 year olds).
This image is from the perspective of an infant in a crib laying on their back looking up at the ceiling. I took this photo by placing the camera in an empty crib with the lens pointing up. I have to say, seeing it through an infants eyes for the first time, that this is kind of terrifying. No wonder so many of them have trouble falling asleep.

Canon Character mostly for Batman/Bruce Wayne rp
Storyline - Born in Los Angeles, the only daughter of the world famous Chef Louis. Her father raised her and her brothers Julian and Louis after their mother disappeared.. She traveled the world with her father and brothers. Being the baby of the family, she was a bit spoiled as a child. Dance lessons, guitar lessons, and gymnastics were some of her favorite activities. One of her father's assistants gave her a camera when she was eleven, and she was hooked. As she grew up, her father bought her better and more expensive camera's and Vicki has photo albums full of images of places she and her family traveled. After high school, she attended U.C.L.A. and graduated with a degree in journalism. She's worked for the LA Times, the Chicago tribune and the Washington Post. She signed a contract with National Geographic and was sent all over the world. Her last assignment for them took her to Burundi where a civil war threatened to cause starvation. Working as the photographer for journalist Herbert Voss, Vicki saw the horrors of war first hand. Caught in a firefight betweeen the rebel soldiers and the Burundi National Army, Vicki was shot four times. Voss fled, leaving her to die. Rebel soldiers found her and took her to the hospital in Cape Town. She died twice on the operating table, but the doctors were able to revive her. National Geographic gave her a year medical leave and Vicki has returned to the states. She moved to Gotham, and stayed with her older brother, Julian. She'd taken a part time job for the Gotham Gazette and Was hoping to find that a safer assignments
What she found was not only a great story, but the love of her life. Bruce Wayne was hard to get close to, but she managed. For a year, she struggled with their relationship and the knowledge that Bruce was also Batman. When she could no longer live with Bruce's dual identity, she left Gotham and moved to Chicago. But she had a secret, one that she kept from Bruce. When she left, she was carrying his child. She gave birth seven months after leaving Gotham to a boy she named Thomas Alfred Wayne.
Three years later....
Returning to Gotham hadn't been an easy decision. Her brother Julian and his wife Amanda had offered to let her and Thomas live with them and the Gazette had offered her the job of Image Editor. Julian and Amanda's daughter, Victoria is three and she and her cousin Thomas became fast friends.

Part of the autobiography my mother (Marie "Re" Daddino) created in 1958, when she was nearly seventeen years old.
Me: Did you major in English at St. John's University?
Mom: No. I didn't like the liberal arts.
Me: Why is that?
Mom: All I can remember is that I hated History. Then I met your dad, and I transferred to St. John's business school which I liked better, actually.
Me: Why did you like it better?
Mom: I found accounting kind of interesting, how you balanced things. I know it sounds silly [laughs]. I think the teachers I had in liberal arts...well, I don't remember being inspired by them, and I guess I didn't like the History classes because the professor liked to embarrass Catholic school girls. It was the first time boys and girls sat together. The first day...he said something, I don't remember what. It was very embarrassing. And then he said, well, you have to get used to this, girls. I hated that class; it was very embarrassing so I cut class a lot. But I got good grades.
Me: I didn't know you were a salesgirl.
Mom: Oh yeah.
Me: What did that entail?
Mom: Selling! [laughs] Selling teenage clothes. Selling clothes in the teenage department. During the summer. And Thursday nights.
Me: Thursday nights?
Mom: That was...oh, what a generation gap! In those days, the only nights stores were open were Thursday nights. So when you got a part-time job, you worked four hours on Thursdays, and four hours on Saturday, because stores were closed on Sunday.
As Audrey Charles looked around, something seemed eerily familiar about the park she was visiting with three of her classmates.
It was the park benches and the descending staircase that carried visitors down into the park space that kept her wheels spinning, trying to imagine where she had seen it all before.
Except the park was 4,300 miles farther away from home than she had traveled her entire life prior to that day.
Then it struck her.
“Those were the same seats I saw on ‘Cheetah Girls 2’ when they were in Barcelona,” Charles said. “I went, ‘Oh my God, I’m here.”
It was an epiphany shared at some level by her classmates and chaperone Beth Shoemaker, as the five ladies traversed along the Mediterranean as part of a European tour including stops in Spain, France and Italy at the end of March.
The trip was the product of DHS becoming International Baccalaureate certified, according to Shoemaker.
“They thought it would be great, since we’re IB, to offer an international trip,” said Shoemaker, who also serves as Dublin High’s media specialist.
When Shoemaker took over as advisor for the trip, she began investigating options and leaned toward Spain as a potential stop.
“Since we offer Spanish courses on campus, I thought a Spanish-speaking country would be a good idea,” Shoemaker said, “then I noticed how close Spain was to France and Italy so we turned it into a Roman Conquest tour.”
The 10-day trip carried the five from DHS, and a sister school from Maryland, to the Spanish and French countryside still holding onto relics from the Roman Empire, the watering hole of Vincent van Gogh, Monaco and the Coliseum, to name a few.
“It was an experience of a lifetime,” Charles said.
Charles was joined by Kamisha Miles, Lauren Price and Samaya Dupree, along with Shoemaker, who began their “Roman Conquest” tour in Barcelona, stopping at Park Guell; the aforementioned site from the movie.
By Day 3, the quintuplet stopped in the walled city of Carcassone, camping out at the Hotel Forum in Arles France: the once home of van Gogh.
“Our hotel was directly across from the Yellow Café where van Gogh used visit,” Shoemaker said. “It was a quiet, quaint little town. It all rolled up at 9 p.m.”
The trip continued through France with a visit to Cote d’Azur and the Roman-era Nimes-Maison Carree and Arena before heading east to a Roman aqueduct called the Pont du Gard.
Then Monaco.
“It was so beautiful,” Shoemaker said, showing a selfie that included the building-filled hills of the Riviera coastline in the background. It was in Monaco where the students broke from touring to take part in a cooking class where they constructed their own Mediterranean-stylized meals.
“All the food was amazing,” Miles said.
“My favorite part was the chocolate,” Price said with a smile. “Chocolate mousse, chocolate mocha.”
“Even at the truck stops,” Shoemaker added. “It was unbelievable. It was food you’d find in a regular restaurant in America.”
From Grace Kelly’s former home, the group headed to Florence and finally to Rome for two days touring the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain and the Piazza Navona, as well as the Ostia Antica (a large archaeological site).
“And we went to the Vatican,” added Charles, who took on a part-time job in order to cover the expense of the trip. “The ceilings there were really pretty.”
“The beauty of the Vatican Museum really struck me,” Miles said.
Every one of the women, both young and old, said the trip is one that will live on in their memories indefinitely.
“I wanted to go because I had been places before with my parents and I wanted to try it for myself,” Miles said. “When I look back on my phone I realize how great it all was.”
“I feel more confident in trying new things because of the trip,” Charles added.
“It was amazing to see them grow and mature in such a short period,” Shoemaker said. “They were a pleasure and I’d take them anywhere. I can’t wait to go back.”

1887 Queen Anne Listed on the National Register of Historical places, the ''Shea House'' is a unique expression of the Queen Anne Style (the only one in Council Bluffs).
John Joseph Shea was born in 1859 near the village of Business Corners in Van Buren County. His parents were John Shea and Ellen Flynn Shea, natives of County Kerry, Ireland. It is not known if there were other children.
In the 1860s, the family moved to Jefferson County, where John helped his father on the farm and attended country school. He was an exceptional student. Having no further education beyond what he received in the country school and county institutes, he qualified as a teacher.
At a very young age, he taught school near Neola. With money he made teaching and working at part time jobs, he was able to enter law school at the University of Iowa, graduating in 1882. He began the practice of law in Neola as a member of the firm of McWilliams and Shea.
Agnes Mary Fenlon was born in 1860 in Illinois. Her father, James Fenlon, was born in Ireland; her mother was born in Pennsylvania. Other family members were her sister, Nellie, and her brother, James. Agnes taught school at the Center Street School in Council Bluffs. The St. Patrick parish (Neola) centennial book commemorating the construction of the church recognizes Mr. and Mrs. James Fenlon and the children of James Fenlon as donors of large windows in the church.
John Shea and Agnes Fenlon were married on Nov. 21, 1883, in Neola. A short time after their marriage, John was elected to the office of clerk of the district court of Pottawattamie County and he and Agnes became residents of Council Bluffs. He completed his term in 1889 and returned to the practice of law – this time in Council Bluffs. He formed a partnership with his boyhood friend, John Galvin. The firm Shea & Galvin was located in the Merriam Block.
The Sheas were the parents of six children: Florence (born in 1885), Elizabeth (1886), Elsie (1887), John J. (1890), Agnes (1892) and Thomas Fenlon (1894). In 1886, their address was 712 S. Eighth St.
On July 5, 1887, an announcement in The Nonpareil read: “Yesterday morning, County Clerk Shea broke ground for his handsome new residence on Eighth Street, immediately south of Capt. Geo. Brown’s residence. Wickham Bros. have the contract for the brick work and J.H. Murphy for the carpenter work.” (Agnes Shea’s sister, Nellie, was married to O.P. Wickham, contractor and brickmaker.)
By 1888, the Sheas were living in the new house at 309 S. Eighth St.
The Panic of 1893 was described as the worst economic depression the United States had experienced at the time. It was marked by the overbuilding and shaky financing of railroads and a run on the gold supply. It lasted for five years and resulted in a series of bank failures. The Sheas lost their new home.
According to city directory listings, in 1897 they were living at 629 Willow Ave., and in 1899 at 726 Willow Ave. In 1904, the family moved to Independence, Kan. The following year, they settled in Bartlesville, then Indian Territory, and afterwards Washington County, Okla., where he began the practice of law. According to the Annals of Iowa, he was ... “an active participant in the transition from the territorial to the state form of government; appointed judge of the twenty-fourth judicial district by Gov. Chas. N. Haskell; upon leaving the bench resumed the practice of law” ...
Following World War I and the discharge of his son Thomas from the Army, the Sheas moved to Tulsa, Okla. where John practiced law in partnership with his son until his death on Nov. 14, 1928. He was buried in Holy Family Cemetery beside his wife, who preceded him in death the previous year.
The Chronicles of Oklahoma wrote this about him: “The son of an Irish immigrant and tenant farmer, his life is a fit illustration of the heights to which the lowliest citizen of this country may ascend. He loved the Constitution of the United States and the American Way of Life, and he believed that this country had attained its greatness and its leadership among the nations of the earth because of the fact that its government is one of laws and not of men.”
Banker Timothy Turner purchased the home at 309 S. Eighth St. in 1900. He and his brother-in-law, C.R. Hannan, who lived across the street at 805 Second Ave., founded City National Bank. Turner’s daughter, Marian, continued to live in the house until 1993.
This massive two and one-half story Queen Anne house is built of patterned brick, adorned with limestone, pressed metal trim, carved sunbursts and corbelled chimneys. It is dominated by a three-story turret with a “witch’s cap” on one corner and a two-story square bay on the other corner. There are many stained, leaded and beveled glass windows. The large “L” shaped porch of classical design was modified at a later date, while a side porch is of a charming gingerbread style. Projecting from the north side of the house is a one-story round room. Once a bed and breakfast, the house is now a private home, a local landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
What do you do at your part time job when your supposed to be answering emails, taking phone calls and making notes…DOODLE LIKE A MOTHER F####R….and then you get fired!
Boiled green peas, spiced and topped with grated coconut and raw mango (Sundal in tamil), the age old snack you would'nt miss on Marina Beach,Chennai. The snack is usually sold by young boys who sometimes do it as a part time job, when they are not at school.

Gender Pay Differences: Progress Made, but Women Remain Overrepresented among Low-Wage Workers
a. The adjusted pay difference controls for the following factors—age, race/ethnicity, education, marital status, children in the household, full-time/ part-time job status, union membership, citizenship status, veteran status, state of residence, industry, and occupation
If we had capes we'd be superheroes. I picture us throwing stones across icy streets to save little old ladies who are about to get hit by traffic. It's really more of a part time job.
Jasper stays near the plastic can used to carry the tools used by the keeper. I think he's looking for a part-time job at the zoo.
Goats' eyes have rectangular pupils, helping them with a wider field of view, especially when grazing.
I'm a sucker for people on ropes. I have my own rope. In fact I even have my own Troll Pro Alp Tech rope descender, the Rolls Royce of rope descenders, and especially suitable for photographers on a rope who like easy fine position adjustment and two quickly free hands for the camera.
The belay on the tree trunk on the right (with cambium protection in place) looks as though they or materials went up from the grass in front of the tree, but on the other hand the stripey hazard tape around the lower parts of the rope looks as though they didn't.
I've twice thought of getting a rope acccess job. The first was as a high wire man when the Forth Road Bridge was being built, but probably luckily I became a computer programmer instead. The first construction worker to fall off the Forth Road Bridge fell straight through the safety nets into the water at such speed he was killed. The safety nets turned out not only to have been second hand, but to have been last used in the construction of the Forth Rail Bridge. Bit of a scandal that one. I'm not at all impressed by the fact that it's now the decrepit old Forth Road Bridge needing to be replaced because it's cracking up. I'm not even that old yet!
The second rope access job was after I retired. I thought I'd take up some quiet (no chain saws) tree surgery as a part time job. But public scepticism about a little old man climbing trees safely scuppered that one. The authorities wouldn't even let me sit the qualifying exam because I was too old. They could have been right. If too heavy and repetitive manual work over the last twenty years is what has knackered my right thumb then it's tree surgery that did it. But not unaided. Thirty years ago was when I first started noticing right thumb problems. The likely culprit for that was falling off Salisbury Crags fifty years ago. Because I wasn't roped. Because climbing was illegal.
Just as well we're only young once. It's the most dangerous age.
Above is a photo of me doing a cartwheel on the dock of Potomac Boat Club where I row. Rowing is my first love but it's hard to take a photo of that when you're holding two oars! Since the quarantine I've been doing cartwheels at all my favorite places - I may be ready for the senior gymnastics Olympics or for a part-time job at a circus!

As Audrey Charles looked around, something seemed eerily familiar about the park she was visiting with three of her classmates.
It was the park benches and the descending staircase that carried visitors down into the park space that kept her wheels spinning, trying to imagine where she had seen it all before.

“They thought it would be great, since we’re IB, to offer an international trip,” said Shoemaker, who also serves as Dublin High’s media specialist.

“Since we offer Spanish courses on campus, I thought a Spanish-speaking country would be a good idea,” Shoemaker said, “then I noticed how close Spain was to France and Italy so we turned it into a Roman Conquest tour.”
The 10-day trip carried the five from DHS, and a sister school from Maryland, to the Spanish and French countryside still holding onto relics from the Roman Empire, the watering hole of Vincent van Gogh, Monaco and the Coliseum, to name a few.

Most people go to Music On Main on Thursday evenings to listen to live music, see the car show once a month and maybe have some ice cream from
Squire's Dairy Delight's ice cream wagon.
Walking up the steps onto Main Street, I met a man with a firm handshake and a pleasant smile.
Meet James Walker of Elkton. James was relaxing on a park bench while the music of the Pure Pleasure Band played in front of town hall and North and Main Streets were lined with classic cars and hot rods.
James seemed like a guy out for the evening before heading home to get a good nights sleep for tomorrow. The problems are that James is always around 24/7 because he has no home to go to and no job for some time.
"I'm homeless and I'm bored. I don't have any place to go, I'm not employed and I wouldn't mind getting a part time job like Walmart's, twenty hours a week. I don't mind working. I've worked at DuPont and Chrysler" he said.
James is tired of just hanging out and sleeping outside.
"This poor old black man needs a warm place to stay instead of sleeping under that bridge. I was there all last winter. I'm 62 and I'm not used to that kind of winter. I had an alcohol problem, but I'm out of rehab. A one bedroom apartment, that's all I need. I'm trying to get off these streets, he added.
That was James story, the first time I met him on August 20th, but I wasn't happy with the photo of him to post here. I caught up with him tonight at Music On Main during a concert by local bluegrass band Chain Reaction when I took this portrait of him.
"It's getting ready to get colder and I have to fight the elements," he said while standing at the corner of Main and North Streets.
James is still trying to find an apartment and is taking the steps to get one.
"I went over to Fox Ridge Apartments and I'm 12th on the list to get one. Affortable Housing is what it's called. I get fixed income now," he added.
James wears a Nascar hat so obviously I thought he was a fan.
"It says Ford, but I'm a Jeff Gordon fan since I used to work for DuPont at the Experimental Station in Wilmington, Delaware on route 41. I was a chemical operator for three years and a lab technician for four years. I had seven years employment there in 1976, then I went to Chrysler."
He was once married and has a daughter Beverly and son Jim Jr who he still sees.
"Their older now. They love me to death."
As the fall season approaches, I'll try to keep updates on James Walker and his countdown to a new home.
In case your wondering, the Voldemort t-shirt James is wearing is a character in the Harry Potter movies. Lord Voldemort (the "t" is silent) plays a villian and is an archenemy to Harry Potter according to Wikipedia. I didn't ask him about it, but should have.

When I moved cross country to the Pacific Northwest from Boston I was just turning 30 and reluctantly realizing it was probably time to grow up. A couple of jumbo jets crashed into the twin towers, toppling the world economy and my hopes of making it as a commercial artist down with them. My budding art career dried up overnight. No art directors or publishers called me anymore. Suddenly my part time job as an environmental fundraiser wasn’t going to cut it and it was time to move cross country with a girl I’m incidentally no longer with and to pursue a real job…one with health benefits and a 401k. It was time to take responsibility and live the American Dream in a little cabin on the waterfront right next to her rich parents. Maybe someday we’d have kids and a dog…maybe I’d finally fit in with high society...maybe someday her well to do mother would stop judging me and like the person that I am. This entailed giving up my dreams as an artist…this meant losing my identity as a free thinker, as a rogue…as sort of a bad boy. This is the last painting I did when I lived in Boston and reflects the fear I felt of moving cross country. It tells the story of a guy named Roy…a regular guy living in the conformist 1950’s…a guy with a great job as a bread delivery driver, a guy with a supportive wife, beautiful kids and a little house with a white picket fence to call his own. In spite of having everything a regular guy could ever want, Roy eventually was compelled to rebel against conformity, religion, authority and the forces that caged him within the confines of being a regular guy and nothing more. He became more than happy to burn his perfect little house down in the dead of night and careen his truck off a cliff.
If paintings are like my children, this is my darkest, most brooding child yet. It’s a favorite amongst so many people. Years ago someone offered $6000 for it and I refused as I couldn’t bear to part with my most brooding child…one that reflects so much of my soul. That great job I was pressured to seek out so many years ago…the one with the health benefits and a 401k, like many things in life has ended a few months ago. I was just no longer affordable to keep around so they bid me adieu and sent me off into the world. I believe when one door closes, another opens and I’m trying my hand at being a commercial artist again. To move forward with my new life as an artist, I’m willing to live like one and finally sell off this painting for…as fate would have it…considerably less than the $6000 that was offered years ago. This and my other work will be at Zero Zero Gallery. 1525 Summit Ave. Seattle, WA. The opening is November 8th from 8-1030pm and will mark my reentry into the artist’s world. Come if you can, to show your support and hang out with me. I’ll be easy to find. I’ll be the one with a headful of hopes and dreams and a thousand doors of opportunities opening before me.

I hope for him to be in the fett clant, if you want to join here is the link. www.flickr.com/groups/2069589@N20/ also this photo is a really poor quality pic, a few weeks ago i got a new camera but as i used it i realized that its a piece of crap. i am nearly old enough to get a part time job which will help me save up for a much better camera because frankly this photo and many of my other photos look terrible because of the poor quality. thanks and feel free to comment and tell me your opinions on the minifig.
