Who knew that some dogs have to learn to cuddle?
From day one, Lollie Wonderdog was full of love and energy. But she had no idea how to express herself or direct her excitement. Her main forms of expression were a trotting pace around the house or yard, back and forth, back and forth; and a constantly flapping tongue—licking the air, but always pointed in the general direction of your face. Come to think of it, I should post a video of this phenomenon.
A few weeks have passed now, and we have taught Lollie to redirect some of her energy into productive things, like going for walks, solving treat-filled puzzles (kongs, Gatorade bottles, etc), and learning new commands. (Have I mentioned what a fast learner she is? It’s amazing how quickly she picks up new things.) But until a few days ago, she still didn’t know how to express affection.
You can imagine that my heart dissolved into a little puddle of goo the other night when she quietly walked over and plopped her 55 pounds of pure muscle into my lap, and rested her sweet face against my chest. As my hands stroked her still-skinny side and her mystery-scarred face, she slowly closed her eyes, looking oh-so-content.
I swear, this dog could melt anyone’s heart.

Detail from the canopy of the south pew of St Michael's, each corner held a figure representing a different concept; this particular one is learning.
St Michael's was built in the c15th as the domestic chapel for Rycote Park manor house for its owner, Sir Richard Quatremaine. Quatremaine died without issue, and ownership transferred to the family of Sibil, Quatremaine's wife. In 1521 the manor house was passed over to Sir John Heron, Treasurer of the Household to both Henrys VII and VIII; it's probably during this time that the manor hourse was demolished and replaced by Rycote Palace. On Heron's death, the land passed over to his son, Giles, who was forced to sell it in 1539 to Sir John Williams (who was closer in favour to Henry). After Williams's death, the land passed into the Norreys family via Williams's son-in-law, Henry Norris, 1st Baron Norreys. On the 2nd Baron's death, the lands and title passed onto his nephew James Bertie, and remained in the family until the early c19th. During this time, the palace was rebuilt after a fire in 1745 and Lancelot Capability Brown (1716-1783) redeveloped the landscape in 1778. However, the manor was past its heyday, the house was sold off in lots early in the 1800s. A manor house (of sorts) remains, with the stables converted in the 1920s.
Perhaps the height of the palace was during the Tudor period, Henry VIII and Catherine Howard spent their honeymoon here; Henry's daughter Elizabeth visited Rycote on her way to her confinement at Woodstock (Williams being instructed to be her guard by Queen Mary I), Elizabeth would visit a further 5 times during her own reign.
Throughout all this time, the chapel remained alongside; slowly changed inside, shifting from Roman Catholic to High Anglican, extended and redecorated, always watching.

This plaque was given to me by my former principal. I really like it but am having trouble getting a good shot of it. I will keep trying.
She's a pre-teen who is learning how much fun visiting a cave can be. I'm a guy who's learning how to shoot photos in near-dark indoor conditions. Together we had a great time at Mammoth Cave.

AGXL, Students can choose their own Kids Learning style, and pace at which they want to Learn With Fun. It also gives flexibility to students to concentrate on specific subjects more than others. It extensively helps students to concentrate more on weaker areas. This also helps in the proper planning of studies and targeting on specific topics.
I've seen so many photographers on the internet talk about how easier editing is with a tablet so i decided to give it a try and i was lucky enough to receive photoshop elements with the tablet. That program is sooooo complicated lol today i messed around with the lens flare options and the other stuff. this image was edited 3 times because the program crashed on me twice x.x but i finally got to finish it and then i did the color editing with lightroom 2. If anyone have any photoshop tips or great places to learn from i would be joyful ro hear them :D
but I'm loving this new style of photography. everything is so bright and nice. lol

Public Art, Creative Therapy, Civic Leadership, and Community Engagement
Portraits of Hope has involved tens of thousands of children and adults in huge civic collaborations - in the U.S. and abroad – that have strikingly transformed everything from airplanes, buildings, and the New York City taxi fleet to blimps, tugboats, race cars, and the Los Angeles beach lifeguard towers, by working with organizations from NASA to NASCAR.
Conceived and developed by Ed Massey and Bernie Massey,
Founders of Portraits of Hope
Developed initially for seriously ill and physically disabled children, the
501 (c)(3) program creates one-of-a-kind motivational art projects that
merge the production of dynamic public art works with creative therapy
for hospitalized children and civic education for students of all ages.
More than 900 hospitals, schools, and social service agencies have
directly participated in Portraits of Hope projects in addition to a
broad array of adult civic groups and colleges.
For children in hospitals and persons with disabilities, participation in the
projects serves as creative therapy. Special Portraits of Hope brushes
and methods have been developed for children and adults with physical
disabilities, including telescope brushes for those in wheel chairs, shoe
brushes for people unable to manipulate a brush with their hands, and
fruit-flavored mouth brushes for kids and adults with limited or no movement
in their limbs.
In schools, Portraits of Hope’s interdisciplinary, project-based learning
program focuses on social issues education, with an emphasis placed
on how youth would integrate their personal ambitions with broader
societal objectives. During the sessions the kids learn about the importance
of civic education, creativity, and teamwork in achieving both individual
and societal goals. They then experience the power of teamwork by
engaging in collaborative sessions for the creation of the vibrant, large-scale
public works.
The high-profile civic projects culminate in tangible feats that instill a powerful
sense of pride and achievement in all participants, and provides children with
an opportunity to say, “I did that!” – often on the national and world stage.
Art panels from the large-scale exhibitions are donated to beautify social service
institutions everywhere – senior centers, child service centers, women’s shelters,
transitional housing units, schools, and many other community facilities, including
communities recovering from natural disasters.
Every demographic group has been involved in Portraits of Hope,
highlighting the power of teamwork, collaboration, and achievement for all.

e Rolex Learning Center, conçu par le bureau d’architecture japonais de renommée internationale SANAA, est à la fois un laboratoire d’apprentissage, une bibliothèque abritant 500’000 ouvrages et un centre culturel international. Il est ouvert aussi bien aux étudiants qu’au public. Sur une surface continue de 20 000 m2 il offre services, bibliothèques, centres d’information, espaces sociaux, lieux d’études, restaurants, cafés et magnifiques extérieurs. Le bâtiment est extrêmement novateur, avec des pentes douces et des terrasses ondulant autour de «patios» intérieurs. Sans oublier les piliers quasiment invisibles qui soutiennent le toit courbe, une structure qui a exigé des méthodes de construction inédites.
«Le Rolex Learning Center illustre parfaitement notre école, où les frontières traditionnelles entre les disciplines sont dépassées, où les mathématiciens et les ingénieurs rencontrent les neuroscientifiques et les microtechniciens pour imaginer les technologies qui amélioreront notre quotidien. Nous invitons le public à découvrir cet espace afin qu'il comprenne que travailler dans le domaine scientifique, c’est participer au progrès de la société», déclare Patrick Aebischer, président de l’EPFL.
