What Did You Want To Be When You Grew Up?
139 comments:
When I was little, I wanted to be either a teacher or an author.ReplyDelete
Guess what?
At the end of this month, I'll be retiring after 25 years of teaching. Well, I say retiring, but more like changing my career ... to writing. I'm the author of 3 books, with 2 more scheduled to come out in the next 18 months.
So I guess I lived the dream, huh?
I wanted to work in computers and graphics, and that's what I ended up doing. I also wanted to be a rock star and minored in music - and now I'm in a band. Who says you can't accomplish goals?ReplyDelete
Ironically, I never wanted to be an author. Not sure how that happened...
- AnonymousJune 6, 2014 at 6:48 AM
Oh I had lots of great ideas....I wanted to be a farmer, a cowboy (slight problem there), an archaeologist, a teacher, an artist, a figure skater.....I haven't grown up yet so I've still got time.ReplyDelete
When I was little, I played with dolls. I sewed clothes for my dolls and I dreamed of being a mother and having the perfect mother and homemaker. I also wanted to be a teacher.ReplyDelete
I got married, got 4 children and taught ceramics. Not the teaching job I was envisioning but I did teach my children to be polite, kind and loving and many other lessons of life.
Oh I am positive you would have pulled off that Indiana Jones-style archaeologist, thing:)ReplyDelete
I always wanted to be a writer and I am so still holding on to that dream. Someday and I won't need a hat. B
I was just thinking about this the other day. We moved a lot when I was a child . My father had a job that took us all around the United States and some of Europe. I didn't appreciate that much as a child leaving behind friends and sometimes pets. NOw that I am older I do appreciate having been a bit traveled and having seen so much, learned so much. But back to the point, as a child I always yearned for roots a place where I could have all my animals and just be in nature in one place and call it my haven ~ I have that now in my wonderful little farm . I also wanted to teach ~ and I do that in a way with teaching about the animals when children visit the farm as well as working with people and their horses. Last but not least I always yearned to write ~ and I suppose in a fun way the blog helps fulfill that :)ReplyDelete
I mean, you don't haaaaaaave to wear a hat to be awesome. :)ReplyDelete
I started out marine biology too because I loved dolphins and then it was an author for a bit. When I hit my teens it was a lawyer and eventually politics but after seeing the bf going through law school, I think I made the right choice doing counseling. :)
I wanted to be a vet until I found out you had to deal with animals that were hurt. I knew that would be hard on the heart and decided instead that I wanted to be a school teacher. My dolls were good practice for the job...but I think I was a bossy teacher to them. :)ReplyDelete
We used to watch Jacques Costeau. :)
Honestly, I had no idea back then and I have no idea right now. :/ReplyDelete
Your childhood ambitions were much more lofty than mine. I was undoubtedly influenced by the fact that I was raised in Southern California. I wanted to be an actor or a private detective (like Philip Marlowe).ReplyDelete
So I became a musician and a writer. Go figure......
I actually think the Indy hat would look good on you ;) I always wanted to be a teacher when I was growing up -- but thankfully for the children ... I did not pursue that --- just when having Brookie's birthday parties with 10 kids around ... *sigh* I ain't got patience for all that! LOL!! :)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 6, 2014 at 8:22 AM
I wanted to be a doctor or a psychologist. I am neither of those. LOLReplyDelete
A baseball player. I couldn't reach home plate from the mound and I was afraid of the ball when at bat. Failure!ReplyDelete
I wanted to join either the Royal Navy or the Police Force.ReplyDelete
Sadly, I ended up doing neither!
Forensic science is my life-long passion. :)
I wanted to become a doctor :)ReplyDelete
A writer, always and completely. I never had another career in mind, so it was a bit of a shock when I left school and discovered I needed a job to survive!ReplyDelete
You had some grand life dreams. You became an existentialist; which is just as cool as the careers you dreamed of (possibly cooler).ReplyDelete
Since I was 11 years old, I've wanted to be a nurse that worked with the elderly. For as long as I can remember, I have had a special place in my heart for the elderly. I absolutely and positively adore them and find it extremely life-giving to spend time with them, take care of them, etc.
My childhood dreams are becoming a reality as I work my way through Nursing school.
I also wanted to write a book.
donna tartt ;-) that's what I reply. still some work to do to grow, thoughReplyDelete
What I wanted to be when I grew up changed quite a lot over time. I think one of the first things I wanted to be, when I was just a wee lad, was probably a fighter pilot.ReplyDelete
ha. i wanted to be a cop...a detective actually...and i went to college for it and even took some FBI classes...and interned...but decided i wanted to work more directly with people and went into counseling instead.ReplyDelete
The hat, that's funny.ReplyDelete
A gentleman farmer. Sadly, I don't have the right build for it. ;-)ReplyDelete
Seriously? A veterinarian and farmer. Instead I became a Joat. (Jill of all trades.)
A writer. :)ReplyDelete
I went through periods where I wanted to be a writer AND a lawyer, a writer AND a psychologist, etc. But writer was always first.
Madeline @ The Shellshank Redemption
Aww Brian you make me smile.yes I remember I wanted be a missioner and go to Africa to help people.ReplyDelete
Now I would add save animals in Africa.
Ah Im sure you would be an amazing Indiana Jones:)
I've always disliked grown-ups. Some of my aspirations were zoology, studying wildlife of the Serengeti, archeology, and astronomy. I wanted to be a writer-and I did self-publish one book!-and a mystic. In the end, I've aspired to be a renaissance man...ReplyDelete
And you've read enough of my stuff to know I quirkily believe I got to be what I wanted to be when I grew up ;)...
hmm...they say these childhood dreams are important indicators to what you would be happy doing. I just wanted to work in an office.ReplyDelete
When I was growing up I always wanted to be a beautician. Didn't happen but I have been happy!ReplyDelete
i wanted to be a secretary - for my sister who was going to be a vet. she did become a vet-tech for about a decade. i was a secretary for a firm that then morphed into bookkeeping to accounting.ReplyDelete
an artist. but my dad told me to get a REAL job...being an artist doesn't make a living, he said. So I became an art teacher.ReplyDelete
haha I wanted to do the Indiana Jones thing too. Or a baseball player.ReplyDelete
I always wanted to be a writer, but I would link that up with other things that sounded interesting. Like a writer and an archeologist (I seriously wanted to be one). Or a writer and a music teacher. I also wanted to be a journalist. So I eventually got to where I wanted to be. :-)ReplyDelete
After I saw the movie Gorillas in the Mist, I, too, dreamed of studying and writing about animals. That movie remains one of my favorites.
I was almost certain I was going to grow up to be a bird. I remember sitting out in my own little patch of woods with sunlight streaming through the pine trees... lying on my back .. .the smell of pine needles ... ahhhhReplyDelete
I wanted to be a bird. I also thought that when my dog or cat was going to have puppies or kittens ... that a kitten was a girl and a puppy was a boy.
I lived in wonderful fairy tale ... I'd still like to be a bird... an Eagle... protected and gorgeous and soaring high ...
I didn't want to do a female type job when I was growing up. It was the 50s and girls were nurses or secretaries. No. Not doing that. I became a cop and that was perfect for me. I retired as a lieutenant from our local Sheriff's Department. My last assignment was commander of the Men's Jail. It was what I was meant to do.ReplyDelete
Have a fabulous day. ☺
I know this may sound corny, but so be it. :) I wanted to be a good person like my father! He was kind, caring and a very gentle soul. I was thinking more about what kind of a person I wanted to be than what kind of a job I would do, because, I feel that even then, I knew that if I could be a good person like my father that whatever I do in life I would be happy. :)ReplyDelete
i had so many dreams. i wanted to be a dolphin trainer first but then i realized i was terrified of being in deep dark water. then i wanted to be an astronaut but then realized you had to be good in math and physics. then i wanted to be a vet but i learned that it wasn't all about cuddling cute animals but injecting them with shots and doing a lot of unpleasant things too. my husband and i still talk about "what do you want to be when you grow up" (or sometimes what do you want to do when you win the lotto) - lol - we both want to somehow work with animals.. i asked him "even if it means picking up elephant poop all day?" he said yes. i somehow think i'd be ok with that too. :)ReplyDelete
Both your choices fit with one another very nicely. Did you end up doing anything like that? I wanted to be a prima ballerina, and once my career was ended, i wanted to live in a little house in the forest with a dancing bear. Still do, but i'll substitute my boyf for the bear.ReplyDelete
I wanted to be married to a forest ranger or conservationist so I could live in a place like yellowstone national park or at least in the woods somewheres-lolReplyDelete
I did retire to the woods.
dating ourselves-at least 50 years ago when hubby was in his 20s he was really into scuba diving-which back then the gear was heavy etc, anyways he had the opportunity to meet Jacques Costeau and his son and his calypso at a Chicago diving shop for a speech he was giving about his new ideas for diving equipment-afterwards hubby was part of a handful that were welcomed aboard his calypso and ask lots of questions etc I thought that was pretty cool
I wanted to be independently wealthyReplyDelete
A librarian :|ReplyDelete
I wanted to be a vet or a writer. Don't know why I ended up with psychology. Well there were so many other things I wanted to do, I guess I just have too many interests. Haha.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 6, 2014 at 11:30 AM
I wanted to be a mom and have 10 kids! I ended up having 1 child and several vocations. We never know where our path will follow us and I'm glad we're on it together. Have a fabulous weekend Keith and en-joy!!ReplyDelete
I wanted to help people in need, and somehow all my jobs related to that....ReplyDelete
A cowgirl ballerina, of course.ReplyDelete
There was a time I wanted to be a writer or an artist. I also wanted to be an actress (well.... Not seriously) and then a secretary. I had all kinds of ideas, but I just didn't want to end up spending my life working as a pineapple trimmer at Dole factory.ReplyDelete
I wanted to be a writer, a mental health counselor/therapist, and a visual artist.ReplyDelete
Go Indy!! I think many boys wanted to be him, my husband did too :)
- AnonymousJune 6, 2014 at 12:33 PM
:-)when I was little I wanted to be a vet coz I love animals and my dad is a vet. Later I wanted to be a writer. journalist,lawyer, teacher and dancer....I did my masters in journalism and worked in a newspaper in India...had a short stint at teaching..ReplyDelete
I would love to be a teacher again.......because I think that would make me more happy....
the indiana jones archeologist idea sounds really cool. when i was little i wanted to be a teacher. then very soon i realised i don't have the patience to be a teacher. on the 2nd grade i knew i wanted to be an astronout. until my mom told me to be an astrounout, i should be dealing with numbers and math. i found my path on middle school. i wanted to be a war-journalist :) of course, my mom yelled. haha. if i get the chance to go for coverage or filming stories about war, i'll definitely go.ReplyDelete
I adored Jurassic Park when I was little, so naturally I wanted to be an archaeologist up until about the fifth grade. Then I gained an interest in plants and decided that I was going to be a farmer! Through high school I wanted to be an occupational therapist with the Navy and just go into rehabilitative medicine in general, but wound up being a cosmetologist, which I am quite happy with right now. =D And, of course, I have always kept up with my love for poetry and writing. That can follow me anywhere I go!ReplyDelete
Thumbs up for Indiana Jones. No one better!
aw. I recall so much of my dreams from when I was little. I wanted to be everything. From the smallest of jobs like being a bank teller (I liked how they handled the money..haha) to being a teacher and to wanting to be a high powered executive in advertising (random). Everything inspired me and thinking about this now (as an adult) I miss the aspiration that came so easily from everything around me.ReplyDelete
when i was very young i wanted to be a ballet dancer, though maybe i just told people that because I was taking ballet lessons. i was hopeless as a ballet dancer. When i was a little older i wanted to be a conservation scientist then i wanted to work in adult education, which is what i currently do, part time. I've always wanted to write, but never saw it as a career as suchReplyDelete
I wanted to become a green grocerReplyDelete
I wanted to be a veterinarian! Still do, kind of...ReplyDelete
And just to let you know, I will be closing my blog for a while, but will still be checking in on my favorite blogs (like yours!) ~
I wanted to be a humanitarian. (Yeah, I was a weird kid.)ReplyDelete
I, too, wished (still wish though :/ ) to become an Archaeologist .... I've a love for ruins ... always felt a pull towards antiquated buildings or possessions ...ReplyDelete
does the hat really look that good on anyone other than indiana jones? haha. i wanted to be a ballerina my entire childhood-- the gracefulness, the pretty tutu's, the music... it all felt magical to me. but, i learned quickly the severity of it and i think what i really preferred was the simple joy i got out of it rather than making it into a real life career. but even throughout that childhood dream, i always wanted to write.ReplyDelete
I wanted to be a dancer for the longest time. Then I wanted to be a teacher, which I did get to do, and loved it.ReplyDelete
So what do you do now? Did I know this and forget? When I was little, my greatest ambition was to be a private secretary. Due to the show "Private Secretary". I played secretary with makeshift desks. Next best was a nurse.ReplyDelete
I wanted to grow up to be Dale Evans. When my mom told me I couldn't change who I was I told her I was still going to be Dale Evans. I guess it was the next best thing to a cowboy. : )ReplyDelete
I wanted to be a wife and mom. And, of course, be HAPPY in both positions. Success!ReplyDelete
I don't think I did want to grow up. Which is just as well because I haven't. And it may be too late now.ReplyDelete
I've always loved writing and when I grow up I want to be a writer.ReplyDelete
Interesting question. Hmm .... I wanted to be lots of things as a little girl ... all of which centered around being 'famous'. Terribly shallow, I know.ReplyDelete
Luckily I grew out of it. Give me a quiet life away from the spotlight an old day. Preferably tucked up in a loft surrounded by teetering piles of books writing a novel.... which is exactly what I'm doing :)
I watched too much of the Brady Bunch and wanted to be an architect. I also wanted to be a teacher.ReplyDelete
I wanted to be (and still want to be) a mermaid! :)ReplyDelete
When you said Marine Biologist I immediately thought of George Costanza. My, how Seinfeld has permeated my brain. :) I loved books, so I wanted to write a novel like Gone With The Wind. Then I had the overpowering urge to be a mom. No regrets.ReplyDelete
I didn't know. And I still don't.ReplyDelete
Oh.. Keith I think you would have looked fabulous in the Indiana Jones hat :)ReplyDelete
When I was growing up I wanted to be a teacher for a good 10 years, then I saw how children really acted in school as I got older and realized I didn't have the temperament to deal with the children... I do have the utmost respect for all good teachers out there, that is really a very hard job.
Have a great weekend and thank you so much for your very kind and sweet comment on my blog :)
ok, I have to say that I chuckled when you said you wanted to study the mountain gorillas of east-central Africa. That just sounded funny, but actually marine biology is such a cool thing to get into. I used to watch the Jacques Costeau episodes too. Secret........I would have loved to been a model when I was young because I was tall and thin, and then when I had kids, to be quite honest, I didn't want to be anything but their mom. I was a Photographer for a time, and would have loved to continue to do that.ReplyDelete
ps Indiana Jones is one of my favorite Disney rides.
I think I was destined to be a teacher, though I didn't really have that as a "grown-up dream." I happened to be sort of a reading tutor for a neighbor child who was having difficulty, and I enjoyed that. There is something about feeling as though you have made a difference in someone's life that is motivating to me.ReplyDelete
I always wanted to be a teacher. Then I got pregnant in my senior yr and my hubby (for 25 yrs) was against me working. I never saw my dream come true, and now I am disabled and can't.ReplyDelete
First I wanted to be a nurse. Then I wanted to be a pilot and a writer of paperback westerns. Then came art, sometimes I even have made a living at it but mostly not. I still make art. Sometime in my 40's I realized that our lives are our works of art and the creativity can go on as long as we live.ReplyDelete
When I was a child, I wanted to be a farmer because I love animals. In high school I wanted to be a marine biologist because I had discovered sea creatures. I ended up a cartographer, which was a darn good job for me. In retirement, I'm a rancher, which is close to a farmer, so I guess I've come full circle.ReplyDelete
That's a tough one. I don't remember wanting to be anything until I reached adolescence. I wanted to be a football player.ReplyDelete
I don't even remember what mine was.ReplyDelete
oh this question brings a smile to my face. I remember my dad asking me this when I was around 5? I went off and wrote a list. A whole page long. Why limit yourself? ;-)ReplyDelete
Great post and laughed when you said you the Indiana Jones hat would not suit you - hah.ReplyDelete
I always wanted to be a nurse or a ballerina when I was little.
Happy weekend
I wanted to be a farmer. Pure , plain and simple...farmer. I didn't even get close to being a farmer.ReplyDelete
I wanted to be something different almost everyday. Pilot, train driver, policeman, scientist. I still am deciding/struggling, let us see where it gets me :-)ReplyDelete
Well Keith now that you have the leading lady, go off and do the Indiana thing - the hat won't matter!ReplyDelete
When I was little I wanted to grow up to BE my grandmother or very much like her. I thought her to be the smartest, and most admirable woman walking the earth.
haha indiana jones :DReplyDelete
When I was a kid I often played 'teacher' and often played 'hospital.' I really never wanted to work in a hospital. I sort of wanted to be a teacher. I considered a few different things....social worker, secretary, newspaper writer, teacher. I became a teacher. Now if I could be a kid again I think I would like to be a veterinarian! Smiles.ReplyDelete
I wanted to be an animal attendant in a zoo ... and became one ... in a sense, because life is a zoo ... smiles ... (actually, it's psych nursing, that I finally chose) ... smiles ...ReplyDelete
I wanted to grow up to be a movie star. I just couldn't decide on which one.ReplyDelete
I wanted to get on stage and play like Pink Floyd to an adoring audience ( I still want that)ReplyDelete
I wanted to be a journalist!ReplyDelete
i doesn't had an idea then... but later wishes to become a graphic designer :)ReplyDelete
I also wanted to be journalist -- specifically a TV anchor like John Chancellor. I studied journalism in college, worked as a newspaper reporter for a while, quit to raise children and ultimately ended up as a high school English teacher.ReplyDelete
Definitely an athlete... I was for awhile.ReplyDelete
then.. a musician,.. I was for a while.
Other than that I felt if I had to 'work' for a living I'd like to be a careers adviser or a secondary school teacher.
I'm an adult careers adviser now, and training to be an academic.
I still love the things I loved as a young child in many ways
I like helping those who may need it most - i like a cause :)
I used to entertain dreams of being in the military years ago but ended up serving on the mission field in many countries. I'm so glad for that...it's blessed me so much...fact is it's how I met my wife!ReplyDelete
Before I knew there were many choices, I selected the typical stuff...doctor, nurse, teacher, etc. When I started to realize that there is more to life, I started to zoom in on animal professions like working in a zoo or being a doctor them. When I reached my teens, I began thinking of being a veterinarian, but ventured away from that as I started to discovered that there were endangered species that needed help. So, I began to dream about working with them, hopping around the globe to make a difference, and living a nomadic life for quite a few years while I saved them; at least I dreamed about doing this while I was a young adult. In fact, I wrote a short post about that last week here: http://plowingthroughlife.blogspot.ca/2014/05/our-lifes-journey-may-change-as-time.htmlReplyDelete
Well, that didn't happen for many reasons (my life's journey went a different way), but I've never stopped thinking about it, wondering what it would have been like had I followed that dream.
I wanted to be a psychologist and understand people ~ Now I am working in a very technical field in an insurance company ~ Have to be practical nowadays ~ Interesting career choices you had when you were a child ~ I wonder why you didn't pursue it ~ Have a good weekend Keith ~ReplyDelete
Are you ready for this one? Either a jockey or a horseshoer!! (Farrier)ReplyDelete
I got too tall and leggy to ride race horses. My dad talked me out of shoeing horses for a living. He said that by the time I was 30 I'd be crouched over permanently with back problems.
I'm mostly a professional dreamer now. ;)
Keith, when I was little I wanted to be a medical doctor mostly. I also thought that being a baker/chef would be nice. Now in hindsight I would have loved to have pursued a career in dancing.ReplyDelete
When I was little I wanted to be a vet and own a horse farm.. My job as a Fiscal Technician with the local government does not come close.., LOL!ReplyDelete
Have a happy weekend!
I once got in trouble in school because I told my teacher that wanted to be an Assassin. What can I say, movies made it look so cool.ReplyDelete
When I was young (7-8ish), I wanted to be Nancy Drew! Then I wanted to be a forensic pathologist, a sports therapist. But not once did I ever say "Hey, I want to be a flight attendant when I grow up." How silly of me!ReplyDelete
I've always been a dreamer!ReplyDelete
As a little girl I had a favourite book called "A Dream of Sadlers Wells" about ballet, so I dreamt of being a ballerina.
I love that children dream of being something special when they grow up!
They can be anything they want.
I wanted to be a movie star...just like Olivia Newton-John. Yet I spent all my time reading...I thought you couldn't just choose to be a writer--you either could do it or not. Oddly, I didn't think acting worked that way until I got to high school and auditioned for plays and realized acting actually DOES require talent...ReplyDelete
Times were different when I was young. As a woman, it was a disgusting thing to think about having a career outside of the home. If I had my present mindset today, I would still feel the same, but if I had grown up in today's culture, who knows what my thoughts would be?ReplyDelete
I wanted to be a vet, but then I realized that I didn't want to see animals in pain. I really just wanted to help them. I also wanted to be an actress or a model and I shot that down pretty fast.ReplyDelete
Eventually I realized in high school that I wanted to be a teacher but I couldn't figure out in what until my Ecology class. After that I just wanted to show people all of the cool things about nature!
Eventually I could still do some sort of show like Bill Nye, but all about the environment. But that's still a dream for now.
You never said what you actually ended up doing? I wanted to be a dancer, air hostess, hairdresser, writer, artist but ended up doing something I had never considered - working in an office - my mum and dad said that I would never be out of work - guess they never knew how times would change. I did fulfil one or two of my dreams though - I cut my husbands hair, I write in my spare time and I paint too - so all was not lost.ReplyDelete
Gosh! So many things! A police officer like my Dad...that was a dream for a while. Great post, Keith ;-)ReplyDelete
First, I wanted to be in Abba - singing, dancing, replacing Agnetha when she got tired.ReplyDelete
Then, at twelve it was a vaguer idea of being 'rich and famous.'
High school it was to be a comedy actress.
Post university? To get a job, ANY job.
Now? What I am; a freelance writer.
I went from wanting to be a copper (typical boy's dream) to mechanical engineer (two of my cousins were mechanical engineers and it sounded so colol until I realised you had to know about maths and use it. I gave up there and then). I, then, fell in love with foreign languages.ReplyDelete
Greetings from London.
I wanted to be so many things I lost cont. First was a flight attendant, veterinarian, astronaut, doctor, prosecutor, psychologist...then just happy.ReplyDelete
I wanted to be so many things! A doctor, a veterinarian, an astronaut, an actress, an Olympic gymnast, an Olympic figure skater.ReplyDelete
I wanted to be a special education teacher. I also thought about the marine biology, but realized that I hate science lol.ReplyDelete
Astronaut, Firefighter, or Flight attendant. All 3 still appeal to me. I love occupational therapy though, so I'll stick with that and continue to admire the fascinating wonders of the universe.ReplyDelete
I wanted to be a veterinarian but then I found out that I might have to put sick animals to sleep and that changed my mind. Then I wanted to be a mortician and I called the coroner's office to see if they had an intern program so I could get a feel for it before hand and one of the county coroners actually offered me a job. I got hired to go pick up deceased people, put them in body bags and load them into the van and bring them back to the coroners office. The only requirements were that I had a valid drivers license and could lift 100lbs. I can easily life 100lbs *shows muscles* did that for a while until I had to pick up someone who hadn't been found for 4 days. Yep, after that day I knew this was not my kind of job.ReplyDelete
I wanted to work in conservation - but education seem to have done me fine.ReplyDelete
Cheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
I wanted to be a brain surgeon... :/ Thankfully I am a lawyer. :DReplyDelete
Hi Keith .. I had no idea .. and still don't - perhaps explains a few things!! Still it's been an interesting life ... and should get more interesting - never thought I'd write ... cheers HilaryReplyDelete
I wanted to be a nurse. I'm really happy I grew out of that. I would've won the Most Horrible Nurse of the Year Award many times over.ReplyDelete
I've always pretty much wanted to be an artist. I went through a stage where I thought it would be cool to be a private investigator. I still have that trait. When I know something happened in the news that intrigues me I actually Google it, and try to find more information about the story. When someone from my high school passes away I try to find out how. I'm not always successful, but sometimes I am.ReplyDelete
In my day not many girls thought of anything other then getting married and having a family right out of high school. Not of my choice I became a landlady. I did enjoy being a housewife and mother. Loved rearranging the furniture so my husband never knew where the bed was going to be when he came home from work. Loved being able to play with my girls.ReplyDelete
Frankly speaking, I never wanted to be anyone when I was a kid, I just wanted to play play and play. The only other thing that I enjoyed was watching movies.ReplyDelete
I wanted to be a colonel in the army and a lawyer defending the rights of the down trodden...I am neither of the two!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 9, 2014 at 3:07 PM
I wanted to be an actress and a writer - I was one at an amateur level only and now I'm the second... So not bad going!ReplyDelete
I've always had an interest in marine biology, which is why I became a SCUBA diver. When I was a kid, the two things I remember wanting to be was an astronaut or an opera singer.ReplyDelete
I was going to be an explorer of the East.ReplyDelete
Instead I got stuck in the UK.
What did you actually become?
My ambitions were quite varied, as age moved onwards!! At first I wanted to become an Air Hostess, a teacher. Then, a forensic scientist, social worker, or nurse in the army corps!!
In the end, I chose nursing in Belfast, Northern Ireland, which brought fulfilment of some of my previous wishes, though in different ways..Now writing just about completes my wishes, as that was always present in the background:)
Anything with animals is perfect for you, honey :) Maybe you should pursue that dream again! And I would love you Indiana Jones style :D Can you do it for me, please? LOLReplyDelete
I wanted to be a physician. For as long as I can think. That's why I started working in medical research. But I didn't pursue the dream further once I realized that health insurances and politics don't make it so easy to just help people. I'm happy I did walk along that path so I'll never feel like I missed out on my dream. I'm happy with what I'm studying now even though it has nothing to do with medicine anymore. But I've always loved maths and everything technical, so I feel at home with engineering, too :) I'm curious what will come next, when I finished studying :) Somehow I don't feel like I'll ever grow-up and settle on one job or career path forever, I need to explore to not get bored. But no matter where it takes me, all that matters is that I am close to you, always <3
all I can really remember is wanting to be a mother...and now here I am...a mother with a career that I love!ReplyDelete
Aw, come on, I'm sure the hat looks better than you think! When I was a kid I thought I wanted to be a nurse (I think that's what my parents wanted me to be). I worked as a volunteer at the hospital during my high school years; that showed me that being a nurse was not for me. I did always like to write, so ending up as a writer seemed to work out well. :)ReplyDelete
Hi Keith,ReplyDelete
Many thanks for the visit and kind words,(and follow) much appreciated.
Growing up I always wanted to be a teacher (like my mom) and that was my chosen career until I became a mom.
Loved teaching and love being a mom
I wanted to design houses. I spent my allowance on home plan magazines and graph paper. To this day, I'm not sure why i didn't study architecture... Now - i pretty much just want to be retired so that I have time to garden and take photos and read and cook and sew and.....ReplyDelete
I wanted to be a vet and work in an antique shop. After a journey spanning years - I eventually became a nurse.ReplyDelete
Kind regards
Anna :o]
I don't watch TV, haven't in years ... nor do I watch the news, haven't in months ... intead I work on a very busy acute psych ward ... smiles.ReplyDelete
mainly a happy artist.ReplyDelete
Hey Keith,ReplyDelete
I never grew up. I'm still that little boy, complete with the childlike innocence and inquisitive wonder of it all. The little boy wanted to be a writer or a clown. I think I'm a bit of both.
A good day to you, kind sir.
When I was little, I wanted to do what my mom did, which was accounting.ReplyDelete
I changed my major a hundred times in college, though, and ended up with a degree in Philosophy.
I was completely surprised when, at 25, I got my job in brokerage accounting and I LOVED it, and I've been there ever since. I guess I knew what I was talking about when I was 5.
I was a curious child and that hasn't changed much, but I don't recall truly ever saying I want to be ______ when I grow up. When I was a kid I do remember that I wanted to work--to have a job. I always admire people that knew exactly what they wanted to do when they grew up.ReplyDelete
I wanted to be an architect, but my guidance counselor convinced me I would be a failure. Though I made straight As and became the first black high school valedictorian, my self esteem was low so i believed it.ReplyDelete
Marine Biologist or Archaeologist both sound amazing- I love Indiana Jones!! I always wanted to be a teacher- I literally had lots of cousins and I had a big chalkboard, desks and I made a classroom and I was always the teacher! I would collect old books, old test & homework papers that the teachers would give me that they no longer used. I would pass them out as homework and tests :-) It was awesome! As an adult, I am great at teaching skills to others, but my job is nothing like a teacher's- I am a Paralegal now.ReplyDelete
I wanted to be a veterinarian. Years down the road though, I realized my stomach was too weak for a job that had anything to do with blood. hahaha So I'm still trying to figure out what I want to be....ReplyDelete
I wanted to be a wife and mother.....I know....probably boring to most. But I had these romantic visions of sewing my children's clothes out of the drapes like Maria on the Sound of Music!!! LOL! And I was a romantic...Now, at 55, I'm still trying to figure it out. Love Gorillas in the Mist by the way.ReplyDelete

Cher. As all can see, that didn't happen.ReplyDelete

Investor strategist Laszlo Birinyi, who accurately predicted the S&P 500 would break 1,600, told CNBC on Tuesday he thinks the closely watched index could eclipse 1,900 in the longer term.
Expanding on bullish sentiment from hedge fund titan David Tepper, Birinyi said the market is for stock pickers, who should to look at individual companies instead of broad sectors.
(Read More: It's a 'My Cousin Vinny' Market, Bullish Tepper Says)
"I've been impressed with resilience of this market," Birinyi said on " Squawk on the Street."
"The pauses are only temporary, and now we've seen a rotation to the cyclicals. Looking at the market perspective, I still think we're going higher."
Birinyi pointed to Autozone, which was hit by a downgrade on Monday but bounced back quickly. "Those are the kind of things I think are more important," he said.
In the near term, Birinyi sees the S&P 500 going to 1,700, but in the longer term (after 2013) he said the index could reach 1,900. He called the 1,900 number "guidance" based on historical parallels, instead of a target. Birinyi's call earlier this year that the S&P would eclipse 1,600 came to fruition, leading to another bullish prediction.
He said his firm is currently buying S&P 170 calls on the SPDR S&P 500 ETF, a bullish options bet that the S&P will hit 1,700.
(Related: Cramer: This Is the Short's Worst Nightmare)
Birinyi characterized the climb as "a cross country trip," suggesting that there will be stops and starts along the way. "This market is very strong, but I want to take it one step at a time and I want to get to 1,700 before we decide where we're going after that," he said.
"People don't realize how strong this market has been," he said. "This has been the strongest advance-decline in the S&P over the last 20 years. What that means is that you want to be picking stocks. I think that's the key here. You want to pick stocks here and not worry about sectors or themes."
"When I look at the market, I look at what individual stocks are doing. People have been concerned about things like inflation, and I look at the inflation-sensitive names and they are not reacting the way you would expect them to if that was an issue," he added.

Interesting numbers from Rasmussen:
Catholics strongly disapprove of the job President Obama is doing as the debate continues over his administration's new policy forcing Catholic institutions to pay for contraception they morally oppose. While the president's overall job approval ratings have improved over the past couple of months, they have remained steady among Catholics.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 59% of likely Catholic voters nationwide at least somewhat disapprove of the president's job performance, while 40% at least somewhat approve. But the passion's on the side of those who don't like the job he's doing: 44% Strongly Disapprove versus 19% who Strongly Approve.
Fifty-four percent (54%) of Catholics voted for Obama in November 2008. However, Republican hopeful Mitt Romney currently leads the president among Catholic voters by a 52% to 35% margin. Among all voters, however, President Obama leads Romney and all Republican hopefuls.
These results are from surveys conducted over the seven days ending February 12, 2012. Among all likely voters, 50% approve of how the president is doing and 49% disapprove. This includes 26% who Strongly Approve and 38% who Strongly Disapprove. Rasmussen Reports also provides daily updates of the president's Job Approval and match-ups between President Obama and both Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum.
Go here to read the rest. If Obama loses the Catholic vote in the fall he can kiss Ohio, and perhaps Pennsylvania, goodby. If he loses Ohio he probably loses the election. If he loses Ohio and Pennsylvania he loses by a landslide. Bigotry has a price, and I hope Obama pays that price on election day.

It has been awhile since I have posted. My computEr crashed the first of last week when we went to PEI. I called my son today and he told me I needed to send it in to have it fixed. Darn. So I will send it in with my husband tomorrow to drop off. Hopefully they will fix it this week. I miss it and miss visiting everyone's sight.
I need to post the winner of my post for the little witch wall hanging. I used the random generator and the lucky number that it drew was number 72. That would be Debi of colourpoint quilter. Congratulations Debi and I will get that in the mail as soon as I get your address.

The Little House Fall/Winter 2012 collection pairs classic British clothing influence with current North American inspiration.
The collection is titled 'House Cut' and focuses on a deeper sultry color palette. There are a lot of rich blues, browns, blacks and grays used to stain and color the clothing pieces. Long, wool double-breasted black coats show off an appreciation for Eurocentric fashion. The Little House Fall/Winter 2012 collection also includes chunky knits and very laid-back hoodies that can be spruced up with a pair of deep straight-legged denim jeans or a tweed sport coat for a semi-casual look.
The New York clothing line paid very close attention to the fit of each item of apparel. Little House also offers a tailoring service for exclusive members.

"My God is big / So strong so mighty"
These are the first lines from my song right now, BIG by the Planetshakers (although I prefer the version by the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship International), which was introduced to me by Madison Mission Seventh-day Adventist Church. This is an uplifting, joyful song with few lyrics, but a powerful message that speaks to me in so many ways right now.
Of course, it goes without saying that "My God is good / He's so good to me", as I serve an awesome God who is good to me all the time and I will never get tired of saying that, because I'm so unworthy of all of the blessings He bestows upon me. However, my favourite part of the song are the lyrics, "My God's plan for me / Goes beyond my wildest dreams", because all He's got in store for me is more than I can even imagine in my right now.
I just need to testify a little bit, because my God is doing the most amazing things in my life and He is setting His amazing plan for me into action, without me even showing Him the level of gratitude He deserves. Yes, I'm more than thankful for everything my God does, but I do not always give Him enough credit or have the level of faith in Him that I should have. Too often when things are going wrong, I get upset and worry, forgetting about what God has done time and time again. Instead, I should be remembering that His timing is perfect and He will always come through for me.
Over the past few weeks, I've been fretting about the launch of my short film to empower youth voice, thinking it won't happen or it will have to be prolonged again or that people wouldn't show interest in coming. Things got down to the wire, but God made sure I that I got a great location so I could have my launch before the end of the year and He's enabled a number of people to help me, particularly through promotion. The level of support I've received as been amazing and really warmed my heart, and I believe the turn out for next week will better than I could even imagine.
I was worried for a while, even though I knew that I didn't need to be, because God has got my back. I know that through Him, this launch is going to be special and act as the start of something that will change the lives of young people, which I believe is His calling for me.
God has shown his goodness and his wonderful mercies in other ways this week, but I know that I need to spend a whole lot more time with Him in prayer before I make some of my other decisions going forward. For now, all I have to do is live in faith and trust in my Heavenly Father, because "there's nothing my God cannot do".

Texas Cottage Food law eases restrictions on home food producers
Midlanders who strolled through the Midland Downtown Farmers' Market on Saturday had their pick of fresh vegetables and baked items.
But a new law that eases restrictions on home bakers could change how local vendors offer up their goods.
The Texas Cottage Food law — one of about 660 to take effect today — allows cottage food producers to sell at farmers markets, farm stands, festivals and fairs, and prevents local health departments from regulating the production of baked goods, canned jams and jellies and other items.
Still, producers must obtain a food handler's card by Jan. 1 and follow labeling requirements, and health authorities can take action if they believe the operation poses a health threat.
"I used to think Texas was more open with its laws, then I found out there's a lot of other states doing this all along. We were kind of behind," said Kimberly Kennedy, MDFM market director who sells cinnamon rolls and coffee as part of the "Midland Brew Crew."
Kennedy and a handful of other producers said they always had a good relationship with the city health department, which never limited items that now are free from regulation, including cakes, cookies, breads, pastries, candy and pies.
But Kennedy, who supported the bill through social media outlets, said the law makes it easier to provide samples and opens up opportunities for local producers wanting to sell in other cities such as Stanton and Big Spring.
"Depending on how the health department handles things there, if you didn't have a commercial kitchen, you couldn't bring cupcakes, jams or jellies," she said. "Now, with the law going into effect, they're able to go to the farmers markets, and health departments can't do anything."
Bunny Moore, of Miss Bunny's Breads, understands why the regulations were in place and said she likely will continue to follow the city's labeling guidelines to protect herself and the market.
"You're always afraid you're going to do something wrong," said Moore, who sells a variety of breads and baked goods.
Still, she said the law gets back to the roots of the cottage industry.
"It goes back to being local," Moore said.
Lavone Woodruff, who started making jams and jellies with her grandmother as a child and now sells them at her Yellow Rose booth at the market, shared her sentiment.
"We need the cottage industry. It makes people more enterprising," Woodruff said.
Kennedy said the market limits how many vendors can sell certain items, but there likely will be more interest from Midlanders wanting to pursue cottage operations now that the law changed.
"There were more than I even know because everyone was laying low," said Kennedy, noting the eased restrictions on selling home-baked wedding cakes is her favorite part of the law.
Dan and Lisa McNerlin, of D'Lisa's, said the biggest impact to their gluten-free baked goods operation likely will be needing the food handler's license.
Other consumer protections also are built into the law. Cottage food producers must properly package small items, and they can't sell products requiring time and temperature control.
Midland Downtown Farmers' Market
When: Saturdays, 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Location: Under the green awning at 501 W. Texas Ave.

Well folks, it's now the last day in September--which means: Only thrity-two days to wait!! Now is the time to study the current candidates and incumbents for public office at all levels. Remember what they say in "Clown Prince" obama's adopted hometown: "Vote early; vote OFTEN!"
New York State Leads Nation!
PROPERTY TAXES! The scourge of the middleclass--most of whom can ill afford them! Some statistics I've formulated from http://taxfoundation.org/taxdata/show/1888.html:
- New York State comprises nine slots in the 'Top Ten,' with the county I live in, Monroe County, LEADING THE WAY!
- New York counties comprise 14 of the 'Top Twenty.'
- New York counties comprise 17 of the 'Top Thirty.'
- New York counties comprise 18 of the 'Top Forty.'
- New York counties comprise 19 of the 'Top Fifty.' This last stastic translates to nearly 40 PERCENT of the top fifty greatest taxed counties IN THE UNITED STATES!
Here are the 'financials' for the top and the bottom county (or parish). Blogspot does not do well with statistics and charts so I must tell you the order of the information:
- State;
- Median Property Taxes Paid on Homes;
- Rank;
- Median Home Value;
- Taxes As A %age Of Home Value;
- Rank;
- Median Income For Homeowners;
- Taxes As A %age Of Income;
- Rank;
But first let's have a 'median' look at the entire United States, using the same order of information:
United States; XXXX; $1,917; XXX; $185,200; 1.04%; XX; $63,306; 3.0%; XX.
And now, the information some will love; some will hate:
- Monroe; NY; $3,891; 71; $134,500; 2.89%; 1; $66,369; 5.9%; 47
- Tangipaho; La; $172; 788; $134,600; 0.13%; 792; $45,794; 0.4%; 785
The median home values are virtually identical for Monroe County, N.Y., and Tangipaho Parish, Louisiana. Monroe County homeowners pay a median $3,719.00 MORE than Tangipaho Parish! These property tax payments are 5.4% HIGHER as a percentage of income, with Monroe County taxpayers having a 34% GREATER MEDIAN INCOME!!

This quilt top has been together, minus the first border, for weeks. All I needed to do was apply an unpieced border with mitered corners. But I dragged my feet, did all sorts of other projects and procrastinated, because quilters grumble about mitered corners; they might pucker, or have a gap in the center or not lay flat. The last time I mitered a border was four years ago, for my son's wedding quilt. But that was a mirrored miter, this one should be a lot easier.
When I finally got down to it, the miters themselves only took about a half an hour. 3 out of 4 turned out spot on the first time. DH says I need to trust myself more.
Then I needed to figure out how to make the pieced chevron units for the second border. I avoided the project for another month or so, while it stared at me from the design wall. I started something else, a Log Cabin quilt, with easy no-thinkum sewing. When I finally took a Sunday afternoon of uninterrupted time to focus on the problem, I solved it in an afternoon. Bam! That was so satisfying.
I've been motoring along ever since, piecing 82 - 2" x 1 1/8" chevrons. Last night it was time to lay them out.
It's good for me to write these things down. I can see my progress better over time. Maybe it'll build confidence!

TD Bank Amends Lakeland Industries Credit Facility
Lakeland Industries, Inc., a global manufacturer of industrial protective clothing for industry, municipalities, healthcare and to first responders on the federal, state and local levels, announced amendments to its primary credit facility with TD Bank. The company is now in compliance with all covenants relating to the revised revolving credit agreement.
The amendments were required as a result of the arbitration award issued against the company in May 2012 and the subsequent entry into a settlement agreement in respect thereof, as well as due to recent operating results of the company, which collectively caused certain events of default under the TD Bank revolving credit facility and term loan facility, including an event of default for failure to comply with the minimum EBITDA covenant, which allowed TD Bank, at its option, to accelerate the loan.
"We are pleased to have successfully amended our credit agreement with TD Bank," said Lakeland Industries president and CEO Christopher J. Ryan. "The terms of the revised credit facility along with the recently announced Brazil arbitration award settlement remove a great deal of uncertainty for the company. We appreciate that TD Bank has been supportive of our business pursuits and operational challenges. Management of Lakeland now looks forward to working toward international growth for the company."
The amendments modify the covenants of the former credit facility and as such waive all previous defaults while requiring no forbearance agreements. The revolving credit facility has been revised to a total borrowing commitment of $17.5 million, with a revised expiration date of June 30, 2013 at a maximum interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.50%, with current outstanding borrowings of approximately $15.5 million. The prior credit agreement allowed up to $30 million of borrowing capacity at a maximum interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.50% and had an expiration date of June 30, 2014. The revised credit facility — as well as the prior agreement — requires access fees for all unused portions of the total borrowing capacity provided to the company. With the borrowing base formulas currently in place, the company would be limited to approximately $17.5 million in any case.

State investigators never interviewed tipster in GOP voter fraud case
Criminal investigators couldn't find a better witness than Jeff Jewett.
Last year, Jewett was the field coordinator for a private vendor used by the Republican Party of Florida in Jacksonville, overseeing a staff of 32 people registering voters. He discovered that one of his employees turned in seven bogus forms: fake addresses, non-working phone numbers, multiple signatures made in the same handwriting. He fired the employee, contacted elections officials and turned in the counterfeit forms.
Jewett's tip launched voter registration fraud case JA-32-0001 that would take Florida Department of Law Enforcement agents three months to close. The employee, a University of North Florida college student, admitted to investigators that he forged the forms. Because he had no criminal history, he got probation and was sentenced to 50 hours of community service.
Case closed, right?
Sure, except for one thing.
Jewett, the one who reported the crime, the one who supervised the employee and could best inform investigators if this was an isolated case or was more systemic, was never interviewed.
"I was surprised," Jewett said. "I figured they'd be interested in talking to me considering I was the one who turned him in."
Such a lack of initiative is baffling for an investigation into a crime that Gov. Rick Scott and Republican lawmakers had made a top priority in prosecuting and preventing. In the 18 months leading to last year's presidential campaign, they said the specter of voter registration fraud was so great that it was necessary to push for a purge of ineligible voters and a new law that made it harder to register voters.
Ironically, the only widespread incidents of voter registration fraud in last year's elections involved Republicans.
Jewett's case was one of five separate investigations involving Strategic Allied Consulting, a vendor hired by the Republican Party of Florida. While three remain open, investigators on Thursday closed a case involving at least 11 fraudulent applications filled out by the vendor in the Fort Myers area. No arrests were made because investigators concluded there was a lack of evidence.
According to FDLE records provided to the Times/Herald about the Jacksonville case, investigators interviewed the UNF student and another low-level staffer in a nearby office who admitted to forging applications. But they didn't follow up by interviewing the two staffers' supervisors, including Jewett.
"They never talked to the whistle blower?" said Daniel Smith, a University of Florida political scientist who analyzes state election laws, when told about Jewett. "That's unbelievable. You just wonder if the FDLE is sitting on this and hoping it withers away."
Strategic Allied Consulting was a largely unknown entity until Sept. 18, 2012, when Palm Beach County elections officials discovered fraudulent forms filed by the GOP vendor. The vendor said it fired two employees responsible, but a dozen other counties reported hundreds of similarly suspicious forms. The state Republican Party announced within days that it fired the vendor.
In October, the FDLE announced it would investigate Strategic Allied Consulting. From then on, news of the cases stopped.
Gretl Plessinger, a spokeswoman for the FDLE, said she can't discuss the open cases — in Pensacola, Miami and Tallahassee — until they're closed.
Jewett, 48, said the UNF student, Christian Davis Price, was lazy, and his fraud was easily detected. He said his staff was split evenly between college students and older, unemployed people looking for work. The jobs paid about $11 an hour, but Jewett said he was promoted quickly to field coordinator, where he earned $3,000 a month.
After the election, Jewett and his staff were let go. He said this week that he doesn't suspect any of his other employees turned in fraudulent forms.
But Ray Robbins, a 60-year-old unemployed salesman, worked for Jewett and said he believes at least a quarter of the staff were turning in forged applications.
"Most of the people there were in their 20s, and they'd come in with big numbers," Robbins said. "I knew what side of town they were working on. Some would turn in 20 forms a day after working the Democratic side of town, and I would think, 'That's funny.'"
The pressure to fib was intense, Robbins said. He said Jewett demanded that staff average 14 forms a day. If those numbers weren't reached, employees risked getting their pay cut, Robbins said.
"The pressure would cause you to do some funny business," said Robbins, who described himself as a staunch Republican. "I can see it. I'm too honest, but the kids these days want to work one day and get two days off."
Yet investigators didn't interview Robbins either. He didn't know about the fraud case that came from his office, and said he was surprised that Jewett wasn't interviewed.
"With Jeff, they could have gone up the ladder," Robbins said. "You'd think they'd want the biggest fish they could get."

From his perspective of his market analysis on Library Technology Guides, Marshall observed how surprisingly low is the number of libraries that are purchasing ERM systems. Especially now we have reached the point that many academic libraries are spending over half of their budget on eContent, you would think that libraries would feel the need to buy systems to manage them. His view being that these tools need to be made better at managing the resources before the take up will increase
Oren, who has a long background with eContent systems, from the early days of SFX and OpenURL though his current position with Ex Libris a major supplier in this area, was an ideal Gang member to have on this show. His view was that the mess actually has two sides to it: the world of electronic publishing with it's very messy business models, terms, delivery platforms and standards compliance; and on the other side the organisational structures within libraries and the tools that have been built to help them manage the mess. We [the industry] may need to look closely at the design of some of those systems as they may be helping to cause some of that mess.
The real question, as we have spent so long evolving in to a mess, is can we fix it or do we have to start again? It was clear from the discussion that from the library side, the approach has been at the wrong level of granularity – approaching [initially] eJournal content at the level of the Journal itself as against the article which more often than not the target of a user's discovery exercise. This being aggravated by the approach of trying to catalogue the electronic in the same way as the physical – an article in an issue, of a volume, of a journal, on a virtual shelf. Add to this a publishing industry going through massive change, doggedly trying to preserve and protect its old business model, whilst a few forward looking publishers try to work out what will replace it – no wonder we are in a mess.
The Gang go in to some depth discussing possible ways forward, with an emerging theme that if libraries are going to be able to manage their resources efficiently, they will have to move towards treating everything in the same way. Be they books, physical journals, articles from eJournals, eBooks, papers in local repositories, data from research projects, or even associated software, libraries will need a constant way to manage all their current 'stuff' and the stuff we haven't thought of yet. There will also have to be a similar change in the publishing industry to accommodate the needs of the libraries if such a move is going to be successful.
Not such a gloomy outlook as you would at first think. Some of the analysis from the OLE Project [which we discussed in last month's show] and from the URM project from Oren's organisation are starting to address these issues. The problem will be the few bumpy years to get us from the current unsatisfactory situation to where we want to be.
Note: Due to technical difficulties the recording quality is not as high as normal for which I apologise.

The University intends to fulfill its role as an educational, community and statewide leader in green power use. University officials have promised to be very public about the UMPI Wind Turbine project, sharing everything they have learned as part of this pioneering venture with others who may want to use this technology.
Part of the University's reason for serving a leadership role in this realm is to fill the classic public university role of being the bold experimenter for projects that can help its community benefit from new knowledge. For this project, that includes providing information about everything from conducting initial wind measurement surveys and feasibility studies to completing contract negotiations and permitting processes to overseeing turbine installation and actual energy generation.
This website will serve as a major resource for anyone who wants to learn more about the University's alternative energy project. Information about the project, especially beyond installation and commissioning, will be added as it becomes available to the University.
The University is incorporating aspects of its wind project into some of the courses it is offering as well as encouraging area schools and other educational institutions to learn about, build into their curriculums, and otherwise take advantage of this resource. One excellent example is the opportunity the University is providing by offering its turbine as an instructional tool for students in Northern Maine Community College's wind technology program.
The University of Maine at Presque Isle is committed to sharing all aspects of this historical project with area residents, the people of Maine, and all others who want to know where an alternative energy project can take them.

Hi, I can't seem to find a definitive answer for this online anywhere, so figured this list would be the best place to ask. I have a simple test case with an inline element containing a block element. I get different results depending on which browser I use ( no surprise there ), but I am unsure as to which is the correct behaviour.
  Inline text
Block level element
 More inline text
  When I view this in Firefox 1.0.6, the text "Block level element" doesn't have a background colour of yellow, but in IE 6 it does. In both browsers, the text "Block level element" is red though. Should the properties of the inline element cascade down to the block level element? Are some properties cascaded differently? I've read through the relevant portions of CSS 2.1 spec, but couldn't find an answer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Michael.

Millside 4 Theater
Route 130 North and Haines Mill Road,
1 person favorited this theater
Originally opened as a twin on December 25, 1974, quadded in the 1980's and closed in the 1990's.
Demolished in early-2007.
Recent comments (view all 9 comments)
Originally a Budco theater, then AMC.
This needs to be changed to "demolished," as the site is now a Target.
Saw several movies here when I was a teen: "Coming to America," "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle," "The Hidden," "Jacob's Ladder," "Naked Gun 2," "A Few Good Men," "Hope and Glory."
Not much to say about the theatre. Its days were numbered when the megaplex in Burlington opened. Doesn't seem to be missed.
This person mentions seeing obscure films such as Demons, The Drifter, Dolls and Bedroom Eyes here along with reviews for some of them. In fact, he talks about a lot of obscure films playing in New Jersey in the 1980's.
Why, that's me! Yes, all those movies KingBiscuits mentioned did play at the Millside 4. Why, I don't know, as they all played there well after their copyright date. That's what made the theater cool in its way – it played movies nowhere else did, like the Pennsauken 5.
FeverDog, you were looking for the New York/New Jersey release of Bedroom Eyes. It opened on September 12th, 1986 in your area.
I saw a two night Quadruple feature at this theater Halloween weekend 2002. Exhumed films played Alien, Darkstar, The Fog, and another John Carpenter film the first night. Then on the second night they played Night of the living dead, Dawn of the Dead Evil Dead II and Texas Chain Saw Massacre. The place was way complicated to find in the days before GPS. I missed most of Alien trying to find the place. Fun memory, sad to see its gone now.
Final Exam played here in June of 1981………..
Nice review of what everyone saw here but not a clue about the Millside itself. No actual dates. Who was the architect, how many seats, style, photos? Nine comments and like I said, not a clue!
December 24th, 1974 grand opening ad in photo section. Opened on the 25th.

This Week's Hotspots
Last week the President of European Council Donald Tusk took a firm stance on Brexit. In a speech to the policy makers in Brussels, he discredited the idea of keeping Britain within the EU single market as part of the deal. He dismissed Boris Johnson's comment that the UK could "have its cake and eat it".
Brexit is not the only agreement bugging the EU. The Belgian region rejected the EU-Canada "Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA)". The Belgian parliamentary vote against the deal could threaten its enforcement at EU level, as its adoption requires the unanimous approval of the 28 member states.
Moving to the ever-pressing refugee crisis: Italy called to lower aid to Eastern European countries such as Hungary and Poland. This comes in reaction to the refusal by important countries in the East to comply with the European reallocation plan for refugees.
Jumping from Italy to another southern European country, Greece hosted the IMF and the EU this week. The representatives reviewed the country's financial situation and the effectiveness of Athens' policies. As Greece has now been bailed out three times, the IMF stated that the only way for the Greek economy to fully recover is debt forgiveness. Yet, this call is farfetched: with elections coming up in autumn, Germany's finance minister is strongly opposing the proposal.
Moving up along the coast, Montenegro's parliamentary elections took place last Sunday. The stakes were high as the prime minister had portrayed the elections as a choice between NATO and Russia. The result was however inconclusive as the prime minister's pro-Western party ended five seats short of the majority. Difficult negotiations lie ahead as a coalition government will have to be formed.
Changing the topic to Security, NATO's secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, welcomed efforts towards closer EU cooperation on Defense last Friday. However, he warned such a project should not become a substitute of NATO.
And, oh no, did you know? Russia has deployed its Iskander-M. The nuclear capable Short Range Ballistic Missiles (SRBMs) have intimidatingly been stationed in Kaliningrad, which lies in Russian territory between Lithuania and Poland. The move has set off alerts in Europe. A NATO official stated: "The deployment of missiles close to alliance borders that can carry nuclear warheads does not help to lower tensions."
… Tensions are also rising between the Russians and the French. Even after Russia's annexation of Crimea in Ukraine, France has kept relatively friendly relations with the country. However, amidst tensions over Syria, Putin announced he is cancelling his long-planned trip to Paris.
In France itself, François Hollande has paid tribute to the victims of the Nice-attack that took place on Bastille Day last summer. The ceremony took place in the presence of the families of those killed in the terrorist attack. Political leaders and religious representatives also attended.
Selected Pieces
Germany: A Case of Failed Counter-Terrorism Strategy
Germany, in reflection of an EU-wide problem, has limited experience in dealing with a new generation of extremists. The handling of the recent capture of a Syrian refugee that was allegedly planning terrorist attacks on German airports has put the capabilities of the German authorities into question. Current gaps were emphasised by the failure of the relevant entities to anticipate the suspect's suicide.
Good relations in the Arctic
Recent tensions between Russia and the West over Syria have not seemed to affect Arctic relations. The 20th Arctic Council named "International Cooperation in the Arctic: New Challenges and Vectors of Development" and organised by the Russian International Affairs Council, proved to be an effective platform for cooperation. The conference further showed that other players are increasingly growing fond of the Arctic as an upcoming area for investment.
Anti-Russian posturing in Scandinavia
160 years since the demilitarisation of the Åland Islands, Finland is considering rearming them. According to experts, the archipelago is key to the country's defense, and rearmament will increase Finland's security. The Islands have historic significance in the relationship with Russia and the former Soviet Union. The Finnish Defense Minister's proposal follows Sweden's remilitarisation of its Gotland Island in the Baltic.

|Performance Improvement
The SDPA has developed two dermatology specific Performance Improvement (PI) - CME that are available to both members and nonmembers through our Learning Center.
On August 11, 2016 the NCCPA announced that Self-Assessment (SA) and Performance Improvement (PI) CME will no longer be a requirement for those in the 10-year recertification cycle, though they will remain viable options for CME. The SDPA Conference CME and Distance CME team have worked hard to develop excellent SA and PI CME opportunities and we will still offer them as long as our members find value in that benefit. The NCCPA continues to recognize the value of these very interactive types of CME and will weight PI and SA CME more heavily, which makes the value per hour of CME even better for these options. This translates to double credits for the first 20 PI-CME hours and 1.5 credits for every hour SA CME earned.
A 20 credit PI project is an accredited program which requires you to review a number of patient charts with specific questions in mind. Then you read and review approved educational material related to the project, followed by another review of patient charts with the same questions in mind. You will determine if the educational material has altered your practice. Your practice is not required to change in order to earn your credits.
SDPA Performance Improvement Programs
We are pleased to offer the two PI CME courses to member and non-members.
Visit our Learning Center to learn more about each PI program and sign up to complete them.

Here is a link to more details on PI CME:

Generally, jump form systems comprise the formwork and working platforms for cleaning/fixing of the formwork, steel fixing and concreting.
The formwork supports itself on the concrete cast earlier so does not rely on support or access from other parts of the building or permanent works.
These are constructed in a staged process. It is a highly productive system designed to increase speed and efficiency while minimising labour and crane time. Systems are normally modular and can be joined to form long lengths to suit varying construction geometries.
Jump form, here taken to include systems often described as climbing form, is suitable for construction of multi-storey vertical concrete elements in high-rise structures, such as:
Three types of jump forms are in general use:
