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 reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Cant keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, i
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension thats learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Cant keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, i

Easy on the brakes. take it easy. its gonna roll this time.
Just hand the power gradually, and it...
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
Theres no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Cant keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, i

I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
Well, the good ol' days may not return
And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn
I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
(Lyrics from Tom Petty 'Learning to fly')
Roadtested several times this last week and various adjustments made in readiness for MOT test (very soon I hope)

Our son is addicted to hockey. We took him out 4 times this winter on the outdoor rink. He spent a lot of his time on his butt like in this photo but his eyes would light up everytime he saw the hockey players playing and would tell anyone who would listen "hockey!". He loves it at the rink.

At first glance, Twitter might appear to be just one of many online attention drains. But tweeting often proves surprisingly practical. A number of WU Libraries staff are among those who think so, and an upcoming series of free workshops will help interested members of the WUSTL community explore why.
Titled Twitter 201, the free miniseries is open to all students, faculty, and staff, with three 40-minute sessions on different topics to be held the last Thursday of the month in February, March, and April (Olin Library, Arc Presentation Room, Level A). Register to attend one, two, or all three of the sessions:
* During the first session (4 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 23), librarians Erin Leach and Brian Vetruba will discuss Twitter as a way to develop professionally and foster meaningful professional connections. Twitter has become a valuable networking tool for professionals in a variety of disciplines. It can be used to start conversations with “the experts,” to get help with a tricky professional problem, and to follow conference activities.
* The second workshop (4 p.m. Thursday, March 29) will focus on how writers and readers can tackle Twitter. Staff members Evie Hemphill and Tim Lepczyk use Twitter to share ideas, find inspiration, engage with authors and editors, and keep their writing sharp. The new salon is a hashtag away and open to everyone.
* The third session (4 p.m. Thursday, April 26) aims to help participants understand the power of the 140-character tweet. Librarians Jaleh Fazelian and Makiba Foster will lead a discussion of Twitter’s instrumental role as an unlikely galvanizing tool in various national and global movements. The revolution will not be televised, but it will be tweeted. From Iran to Wall Street, from Tunisia to Egypt, Twitter was and is a part of these recent revolutions.
In addition to the Twitter 201 series, an introductory Twitter 101 session is scheduled for 3 p.m. Thursday, February 9. Geared for the Twitter novice, this hour-and-a-half session will cover account creation, search features, what it means to follow someone, how to construct a tweet, what hashtags and retweets are, and other Twitter basics.

Já dediquei muitas fotos ao Du. Mas esta pra mim é especial. É a praia dele. E o Du é um amigo destes que muitas vezes mostra o caminho pra gente. Pode ser coisa da profissão, da experiência, mas, acho que é mesmo coisa da pessoa.
O Du é uma grande pessoa humana. Me sinto muito orgulhoso de poder-me contar entre os seus amigos.
Quem sabe, ele me desculpa não ter estado cantando um blues ao seu lado no dia do seu aniversario? Quem sabe, ele aceita meu presente?
Feliz aniversario, amigo Du. Parabéns pra você....
Um grande, enorme abraço.
Not needed yet, but it has become part of the togetherness routine. Whenever daddy shaves, Giuseppe is right there with him!
On 26th April, K-pop Academy Students learnt about Samulnori. Nami Morris, a senior teaching fellow at SOAS, came to the KCC to talk about Samulnori, it's origins, history and the instruments.
Nami gave a demonstration on the janggu, one of the instruments, and taught the students about the importance of breathing. The students learnt basic rythms on the four different Samulnori instruments.
At the end of the class, three students were awarded with special gifts, concert tickets for the B.A.P concert, taking place on 27th April. The students received their awards from Mrs Hye-Jung Jeon, the project director of the KCC, for their homework- Kimberley for her art skills, Katie for her Youtube video and Philip for his creative baking.
The Barr Smith Library at the University of Adelaide has recently developed these learning spaces, which are so 21st century.
I'm learning how to use photo shop at evening class. This is after my third lesson and although I am slow on the up take, I am quite pleased with this.
Found this little guy on the ground flopping around trying to fly. He was directly below a nest that had a few other babies that hadnt actually gave an attempt yet. I gave him a little tour of the backyard and then put him back in the nest with his siblings.
