The old abandoned Vermilya one room schoolhouse been sitting for decades without any students or teachers, was told it was built in 1870, could not find any more information on it.
No bell in the tower unfortunately.
The Pierre Bremond House is one of the 11 houses built between 1859 and 1910 that make up the Bremond Block Historic District. The block was added to National Register of Historic Places in 1970, and is considered one of the few remaining upper-class Victorian neighborhoods of the middle to late nineteenth century in Texas. Six of the eleven houses were built or expanded for members of the families of brothers Eugene and John Bremond, who were prominent in late-nineteenth-century Austin social, merchandising, and banking circles. Of these six residences, all but one were designed and built by the Austin contractor, George Fiegel.
The Pierre Bremond House sits in the center of the 400 block of W. Seventh St. between the John Bremond, Jr. House on its east side, and the Eugene Bremond House, the house of Pierre's father, on its west side. Built in 1898, the two-story, tan brick house was the last Bremond house to be built. It is a subdued late Victorian with a low-pitched hip roof, a double gallery, and an unobtrusive tower on the west side.
While the Pierre Bremond House may be the least ornate of all the houses, Pierre's home was the most spacious. Renovated in 2012, the house is currently owned by the Texas Classroom Teachers Association, who also own the John Bremond, Jr. home next door that serves as the association headquarters.

Another work by Josef Rikus. Originally this reclinig sculpture from 1969 was called "Meditation in Stone". The public, however, preferred the name "The Sleeping Teacher" as it is placed at the entrance of a school. Incidentally, I went to this school three times: my first year in 1967, then again in 1971/72 and as a teacher in 2007/2008.

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.

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.
This cake was created for a couple of teachers who were celebrating their birthdays. It's an 8" chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting. Decorations were done in fondant. The large apple is fondant covered styrofoam.
A friend's mum is retiring from being a school teacher and she asked me to make a cake to celebrate.
Accessories are made from modelling paste (apple & pencil) and gumpaste (ruler).
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!

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
