This year marks the 200th birthday of this great Austrian composer. Here you can see the Bruckner bust in Vienna's Stadtpark, which was unveiled three years after Bruckner's death.
Bruckner ‘was an Austrian composer of the Romantic period as well as an organist and university teacher. Only recognised by his contemporaries late in life, he was nevertheless one of the most important and innovative composers of his time and his works had a great influence on music history well into the 20th century.
His most important and probably best-known compositions are his large-scale eleven symphonies.’

Studies In The Art Of The Slack Key
by Bill Adams
The Waimea Music Exchange store at Parker Center was filled with the beautiful sounds of Hawaiian music this past Saturday morning as a group of students from Cornell University participated in a slack key guitar lesson taught by the Big Island's own Don Kauli'a, whose album "Sweet Wahine" was nominated for a 2008 Grammy Award.
The students are enrolled in Cornell's Earth and Environmental Systems (EES) Field Program. A 5-month course which spans the entire spring semester, students engage in field, class and laboratory studies focused on the various ecosystems of our Hawaiian island chain and of Hawaii's history and culture.
Led by Professor Dr. Alexandra Moore, the EES Field Program is based out of Waimea and hosted by the Hawaii Preparatory Academy. The students' living quarters is the 8-bedroom Waiaka House near the main campus of HPA.
Dr. Moore explained, "The students are immersed in studies geared towards "Kumu Pa'a I Ka 'Aina, which translates to 'Knowledge and understanding that comes from the land.'"
The stated mission of the EES Field Program is "To inspire stewardship of the Earth through first-hand experience with the power, and fragility, of Earth's interconnected systems."
Upon completion of the EES Field Program, students will achieve 18 credit hours from courses such as; Field Study of the Earth System, Biogeochemistry of the Hawaiian Islands, Field Study of Marine Ecosystems, Internship Experience, and an Introduction to Hawaiian History and Culture, which included Saturday's slack key guitar lesson.
The Program stresses the importance of respecting the Hawaiian ancestral lands and to give something back to the community by engaging in a variety of service learning (in class) projects and local volunteer opportunities. Students are also encouraged to explore ways in which they can contribute to the well-being of their adopted community.
Before Saturday's lesson began, the students were able to briefly meet and chat with another famous Big Island slack key guitar master, Sonny Lim, a 2007 Grammy Award winner for his work on the album, "Slack Key Guitar Volume 2".
Participating in Saturday's guitar lessons were a diverse group of five Cornell University students; Hannah Kubica, a junior from Little Falls, New York, Keisuke Irie, a senior from Bergen County, New Jersey, Matt Connelly, a sophomore from Syracuse, New York, Kourtney Reynolds, a senior from San Diego, California and Tyler Huth, a sophomore from Boston, Massachusetts.

Fellow Special Education teacher and beloved "Mama Regs", to so many students Erica Regalbuto Has retired after 31 years in the biz.
Geologically Galdhøpiggen, as most of Southern Norway's mountain ranges, belongs to the Caledonian folding. The peak is made of gabbro, a hard but rather coarse-grained rock which is found in most of the Jotunheimen range. During the ice ages it was heavily glaciated and got its present form. The theory that the highest summits in Norway stayed above the ice as nunataks has been abandoned by most geologists. It fits well with the present flora in the area, but it does not fit well with the present knowledge of ice thickness and the results of glaciation.
For many years, geologists did not know that Galdhøpiggen was the highest summit in Norway. The honor was granted to the much more visible Snøhetta in the Dovrefjell range. Hence no attempts were made to climb the peak, while Snøhetta was visited for the first time in 1798 as part of a scientific trip to the area. In 1844 the geologist and mountaineer, Baltazar Mathias Keilhau, made two unsuccessful attempts to reach the summit. On one of these he reached the summit which later was named Keilhaus topp 2,355 m above sea level very close to Galdhøpiggen, but the terrible weather forced them to return.[citation needed]
In 1850 three men from Lom reached the summit, the guide Steinar Sulheim, the local teacher Arnesen and the church warden Flotten
"The word Buddha is a title for the first awakened being in an era. In most Buddhist traditions, Siddhartha Gautama is regarded as the Supreme Buddha (P. sammāsambuddha, S. samyaksaṃbuddha) of our age, "Buddha" meaning "awakened one" or "the enlightened one." [note 2] Gautama Buddha may also be referred to as Śākyamuni (Sanskrit: शाक्यमुनि "Sage of the Śākyas")."

Nearly 70 years ago, I had several teachers who believed corporal punishment should not be limited to a student’s home. I discovered this, much to my chagrin, when I stepped over an invisible behavioral line they had drawn for budding criminals like myself.
One teacher was shorter than I already was in junior high, but unfortunately, he was built like a fireplug and had quick reflexes, so quick, in fact, that he might have set a state record closing the distance between his desk and mine after I might have caused a minor disruption.
He didn’t administer a long discipline session with his frantic efforts, but it was effective enough to open a two-inch cut above my eyebrow.
An uneasy silence engulfed our classroom when he clumsily handed me a paper towel to staunch the flow of blood and told me to go to the boy’s locker room. I was met there by the football coach. He took one look at me and said, “I don’t even have to ask who did that to you.” I have always wondered what he meant by that.
In retrospect, that incident could have been somewhat alleviated if I would have had a tongue like this Pileated Woodpecker.
The largest woodpecker in the US has a tongue that can extend up to 4 inches beyond the tip of its bill. When the woodpecker is pounding its head against a tree, the tongue retracts inwardly and wraps around the back of its skull to protect it from the concussions of the taps.
I wish my mom and dad had thought of that.

Ovenbirds are fairly easy to find - at least by sound. Actually seeing them can be harder, and getting pictures ... well, I haven't been that lucky in that.
So this morning, it was nice to get this one hopping around right in front of me. The lighting wasn't great but I still like that I was able to pull at least a decent shot out of it.
The figures used for Bruce, Talia and Ra's during Bruce's time training with the League of Assassins in the Heir to the Demon prologue.
I somewhat deliberately chose to have Bruce mimic Ra's a bit in terms of look to show the influence Ra's had on his life. Not to mention, in my view anyway, showing subtly that Ra's intended Bruce to be his successor. Thus later on, when he returns to Gotham, Bruce removes the beard signalling independence and choosing to dictate life on his own terms not though of Ra's Al-Ghul. It probably means nothing to most people, but it was just a nice bit of imagery that I rather enjoyed.

A friend's mum is retiring from being a school teacher and she asked me to make a cake to celebrate.

Three middle school teachers jump into ice cold water during the Penguin Plunge held at City Beach in Whitefish Montana as part of the City’s annual Winter Carnival. The plunge is held to benefit Special Olmypics and is sponsered by Local Law Enforcement agencies and businesses. Over 130 people jumped and raised more than $40,000!

Have a great weekend.. just a couple more weeks until the Xmas holidays! 🎄
He has taught, no, he has 'educated' many generations of children trying to inculcate into them the virtues of rationality, knowledge and ethical behaviour. Even in retirement he can't stop himself educating by writing letters to the editor of a newspaper or addressing the authorities when he feels that the virtues are in danger. Once a teacher always a teacher.
I am actually half way trough a turn in this photo even if I do look a little static.
Its been a good week for my ego boosting and it all seems to stem from last Sunday at dance class. The normal format is we do an hour long basic lesson to teach the new started the basics, we partner up and ten the ladies rotate around so as they can damce with a different leader. I happened to have one new starter end up with me so i did what i normally do and took it slow, she then moved on to the next partner along. we then have a break this is when we can dance with our own partners or whoever we fancy dragging ontot the dancefloor. well i had a couple dances with jamie then had a rest. it was then that the new lady came over to me and said i was the best leader to dance with. well that made me smile, the next part of the lesson is more for those who know what we are doing but the two new girls stayed. seeing that they had no chance i took them to one side and gave them a one to one lesson.well the evening finished with me having a few spins on the dance floor and we all went home.
during wednesdays lessen sharon the teacher said how much the two ladies enjoyed my lesson :-) then shortly after another woman who is a friend of the two girls came over to say that they keep raving on about how much they enjoyed my lesson and loved me to bits.
OK i know this all sound a bit "Look how wonderful i am" but in all truth its rather weired because i never set out for this to turnout this way and to become so accepted by almost everyone i meet . So yep i am walking around with the biggest head ever at the moment and i am so proud of the people around me who accept our kind and the people within our community who have supported, encouraged and inspired me over the years to becomem who i am
More good follows shortly
