Tom Stevens, a disabled United States Air Force veteran, discusses learning through overcoming substance use and abuse in his talk "Learning from Addiction: So Hard to Change."
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.

Santa brought Tabby a doll bed for Molly for Christmas. it came with a beautiful coverlet, but a plain mattress & pillow.I thought making a pillowcase and mattress cover (I'd say sheet, but we made it be a pillowcase basically so it wouldn't come off) would be a perfect first project using the sewing machine. I got so excited I had to take pictures. Did she run out of patience? yes. did I do some of the seams? yes. But we're both proud of how well she did do for a first time and very pleased with the end result. Can you believe I had that lovely fabric which went so well with the bed and the bedding it came with?
When I bought the 720 it had a rather crudely constructed "box" around the bed that the previous owner just sheet-metal-screwed into the walls of the bed. So I figured I might as well spend my first time welding putting boogers of metal into those holes to grind down and refinish
The driver of the car in the foreground drove into the bollard, nearly reversed into a woman in a wheelchair, then nonchalantly parked on the double yellow. So glad I didn't bring my car here, if this is the standard of driving to be expected.
I must just get stupid every year. At the end of the summer, I can get hundreds of hummingbird shots in a day. Today, I went out for the first time to really concentrate on hummingbirds. I managed to stink up the joint. Granted, the hummingbirds aren't properly "trained" yet. They kept going to the wrong place and all of that. I haven't gotten the hang of the light yet either. I only got a small handful of shots that didn't stink.
Kind of interesting - I have two males hanging around (without a lot of fighting). I don't think that the above is the mate to the female that shows up every couple of hours. She is looking WAY "with egg" sort of a flying blimp, especially compared to the males which tend to be a bit smaller anyway. If history is a guide, she will show up thinner with a lot of her breast feathers plucked (to line the nest?) in a couple of days.
Update - my agent just rejected this shot because "the wings are kind of blurry." For God's sake! It's a HUMMINGBIRD!!!!!!!!!!!

I dropped by my local library this morning, and took a shortcut through the children’s section. It is still early & the children are only starting to arrive by they are already excited & giggling in the hallway. It certainly looks like a lot of fun will be had here soon.
Along with the red carpet, we had a backdrop set up for our professional photographers to work with. This was one of the shots my family members took as I advised the model on her pose.
Since I made this hikizuri specifically to appear in the kimono fashion show, I figured I better get a lot of pictures of it being worn.
In this shot, our maiko is learning how to bow elegantly in her hikizuri.
Ian Burrell very patiently teaching me how to drive the loco. The controls are actually very simple. Handbrake, forward and reverse gears, clutch wheel and throttle.
The boys in the back are being made to walk while they crouch as a form of punishment. Seen in Bhubaneshwar.
I had this "job" living in undergraduate residence halls being an all-purpose big-sister/organizer/mediator/task-master. I think I was also supposed to be an intellectual inspiration, but not so sure if that happened. As vaguely worded as the job was, it was intense and took up a lot of my dissertation time... but in return I had a place to live and discovered an energetic crew of student friends. The toughest part was having to draw the line on certain types of behavior according to the rules (some of which might be necessary, but didn't really make sense).
Here, we are learning meringue. We helped organize an event for international students - we had lots of great food. Fun and food seem to attract people. This was a pretty successful event as college programs go... managed to appeal to a wide spectrum of students who usually don't seek out stuff beyond their comfort zone. We had a blast.
