Blip.tv Closes Second Round of Funding Led by Skype Founders' VC Fund

Windows Phone App Gap to Close By 2015Dale Wright
Microsoft has announced that it will attempt to close the 'app gap' between its Windows Phone store, the iOS App Store and the Android Play Store by 2015.
The head for Windows Phone, Joe Belfiore, posted his views on Twitter, discussing how Microsoft would increase the number of apps it had to compete with iOS and Android. Windows Phone has long lagged behind its two major competitors in terms of apps, but now it's growing in profile, that could be set to change. Just last week, the official Twitter Vine app for Windows Phone was released, bringing with it a host of new features optimised for the Microsoft smartphone.
On Twitter, Belfiore wrote: "We're all gonna look back on the end of 2014 as the ending of the app-gap for Windows Phone. The 3rd ecosystem is decidedly here!" However, when a fan questioned if he meant the end of 2013, Belfoire appeared to agree with them, maybe indicating that the increase in Windows Phone apps will come even sooner.
Belfiore then went on to announce the new Windows Phone apps for Instagram and Google's social mapping service Waze. The Instagram BETA app will be particularly exciting on Windows Phone, as devices like the Nokia Lumia 1020 have brilliant cameras which will really make it great for users. The Linear and Radial Tilt-Shift features will make the most of the Windows Phone's high quality camera apps and could mean an increase in numbers for Instagram.
The problem that Windows Phone has with securing apps is that it isn't one of the big two operating systems – iOS and Android. App companies usually only develop their applications for the two main systems, as it's just not worth it for the Windows Phone. With the recent high-profile apps released for Windows Phone, perhaps we could be seeing a change in this.

In thinking further about the ideas presented by Jon Dron as "Web 1.5", there may be another perspective to solving the problem of balancing the teacher-focused, top-down, LMS environment of Web 1.0 with the communal, discovery-based, sharing environment of Web 2.0 (see Dron and Anderson's Lost in social space: Information retrieval issues in Web 1.5, 2009).
I'm going to consider Web 1.0 and its suburb, the LMS, as life in the big city. Web 2.0 is the Wild West. [Note: I will also be using the Wild West analogy also for the chapter I'm writing for the e-book Open Online Learning and Teaching being edited by Stephen Downes, George Siemens and Rita Kop.]
Assuming the instructor is responsible for creating the environment for learning, there are many places along the spectrum between too closed (big city) and too open (Wild West). If students are accustomed to closed systems (which they often are from standard classrooms and learning management systems), then simply throwing them into the Wild West of the open web is not a good idea. They will be far too busy managing the affective elements of dealing with the open web as a learning space (something akin to Kübler-Ross's stages of grief) to be able to learn anything. It's culture shock.
Before our Program for Online Teaching Certificate course began, the feeling most participants expressed in starting the class was "excited". After a few weeks, that changed to "overwhelmed". I think we made the mistake of thinking that people who emailed and used course management systems and indicated interest in an open class in online pedagogy were already in Abilene, Kansas, an outpost of organized civilization surrounded by territory full of cowboys and Indians. We didn't understand that they were big city folk, accustomed to having their services provided in a centralized way.
And yet we wanted them working on the open web, blogging or posting where all can see, sharing and behaving like netizens and contributors to the deep well of all internet knowledge. We didn't envision them roping calves on the first day, of course, but we wanted them to enjoy the challenge and try twirling a rope.
One step at a time may sound silly, but it might be best to approach things that way, gradually revealing ones reasons and intent as time goes one. So in week one, we might say the task is to set up a blog, and we give advice and tutorials to do that. Then week two is to post something in text, week 3 with an image, etc. all focused on the course content. And as we go along, we explain a bit more each week about why we're doing this (i.e. posts are for reflection, which is good for learning and sharing; images can help us see what you're talking about, etc.).
We haven't quite been doing this, in our effort to balance pedagogical study and tool exploration. Each week we have been doing something different, having them try a new tool. It may be like saying, "look at that cactus", "watch out for that snake", and "doesn't that saloon girl look pretty in those boots?" all at once. It's possible we should be revealing the trail in a better way.
It may be best, at this point of "overwhelm", not to explain too much. We want to be transparent about our teaching methods, but we could reveal these gradually, as things arise. Throwing out learning theories and pedagogical explanations right away is like giving a city boy a saddle and pointing him toward a horse — he knows the two things are connected but it doesn't make sense immediately, even though the clear goal is to move forward.
We need to be a little less Jack Palance, and a little more like a tour guide. While a certain amount of challenge is great, and very important to learning, we need to not forget the comfort of being more on the big city side, having decisions of how to structure learning be set in advance.

"A little-known company is finding success offering free online education around the world."
Besides being all for free, easily-accessible education, ALISON is offering skills training for employability, and seem to have really thought it through, by targeting their audience and keeping standards high.
I would argue against the statement "that the scope of the problem necessitates a business approach", but they're doing good work.

After 12 exciting rounds of racing Ryan Dungey clinches the 250 Motocross Championship title. Ryan spent the last half of the series in second place just points away from the leader but it was Round 11 when he gained a big points lead over his competition and Ryan was again back on top and in line to grab the title; and that's just what he did. I spoke to Ryan just moments after he clinched the title at Steel City Raceway; here's what he had to say ~
Angela: Ryan, the final results came down to Steel City and now you are the 2009 MX 250 Champion, how do you feel?
Ryan: It feels great! Anyone watching this class would know that with the battles between us, him leading then me, they know it's been a long season. Now after all that and to be the Champ, all the hard work and the sweat, the hard times, everything, it was all worth it. I am really thankful how today went down; it's amazing and definitely a step forward in the right direction.
A: This great moment adds to a great year all together; you brought home the Supercross Lites Championship title and now the 250 Motocross title, these are some great accomplishments Ryan!
R: Well, coming into this year I had no championships and I had a little bit of success but I came up a little short in some areas and I tried to take what I learned over the years and make it work for me. It took some time, I had some good falls and wondered why this and that but at the end of the day I knew why I was doing it and to be able to win the Championship in Supercross was amazing and now to top it off going out of the 250 Class, this is my last year in this class, and to take both Supercross and Motocross makes this a wonderful year. To be able to come into this year with none and now to have two and now I am walking out of here healthy so I'm really thankful for all the people who helped me make this happen.
A: Ryan this Motocross Championship title didn't come easy; you started off leading the series but for a good part of it you were in second place, then you came back to win, how does it feel to have clinched the title in those last few Motos?
R: Amazing for sure, yeah, I was in the top at the beginning and then slid back a little bit, had some tough races and I was trying to figure some stuff out. You know Pourcel is a great rider and he didn't make it easy at all. I had my work cut out for me all year and through everything I just never quit or gave up; I knew I just did it from my heart and I enjoyed every bit of it regardless of where I was. So I put in my time, did what I had to do and showed up on the race weekend and whatever came about I just had to make the best of every situation and that's what we did.
A: The Motocross Nationals is four months dedication to 12 Rounds of racing in all types of conditions with an extensive group of competitors; Ryan, overall how was your motocross experience this summer?
R: There were some points where you get down when things just are not going your way. I think everybody goes through it but I was never going to let that stop me. I knew it was going to be hard to beat Pourcel; he's a world champion overseas so I knew it wasn't going to be easy and I was going to have to be there every weekend. There really was no room for error and with last weekend with that points lead and to be able to come into this weekend and hold on to it and take it made it interesting. It was a lot of fun, it was long, and there were a lot of times where I was ready to get this job done. This week was really tough, really this was the toughest week of the whole thing but I just put "it" in "his" hands and let him guide me in the right direction.
A: The race just ended and you are now officially wearing that number 1 on your chest here, earning that Championship titles takes a lot of great individuals to help you along the way, who are they and what do you want to say to them?
R: First off, I'd like to thanks everyone on my team at Rockstar Makita Suzuki. It takes a good fast bike and things have to come all together. There can't be any DNF's or race failures. Those guys work their butts off to get that bike ready every weekend from suspension to tires, so they do an amazing job. I'd like to thank the man above for keeping me safe and healthy every weekend. Also my family; years past I've really learned that having my family there helps to drive me forward. There's also that time I spent in Florida with Ricky Carmichael; that meant a lot and Tony Gardea my agent; thanks to everyone. It's defiantly been an experience to be able to come out here, you can say as a wild card in the beginning, and I never quit pushing and I am not going to. I am just really thankful for everything and everybody and I couldn't have done it without all of their support.
A: Ryan, what's next for you?
R: Motocross of Nations is next. I will be on the 450 leading the team and I am really looking forward to that. I've never been over there so it will be a new experience. I am going to carry the momentum over from here, we are going to be working as a team now over in Italy and going to try and take the win home for the USA.
Congratulations Ryan Dungey on your 250 Motocross Nationals title!

Welcome to our North Coast Psychotherapy website. We are situated in the Northern New South Wales region of Australia. The Gold Coast and Brisbane.
We provide psychotherapy, psychological and counselling services for the Northern Rivers regions of The Byron Bay Shire, The Lismore Shire, Ballina Shire, Tweed Shire, The Gold Coast and Robina district and Brisbane.
Our site is designed to introduce you to the three Jungian analysts in our practice and tell you something about the way we work. Our work is based on the ideas and psychology of Carl Gustav Jung. We offer Jungian psychotherapy, analysis, short-term counselling and sandplay therapy.
People come to see us for many different reasons.They may: have relationship problems, be emotionally distressed or traumatised, be suffering from depression or anxiety, be confused or have low self esteem. Some people have no particular problem but feel that their life lacks meaning, depth or connection to others.
Our approach continues a one hundred year old tradition of creative psychotherapy. Jungian work brings together: the inner world, imagination, dreams, emotion and spirituality with the every day problems of daily life.
Jungian psychotherapy is a vessel in which to safely contain the transformative process of integrating aspects of the unconscious. Out of the transformative, integrative work of therapy a renewed personality gradually emerges over time.
Good outcomes in working with any psychotherapist, psychologist or counsellor rely on the depth and integrity of the relationship between therapist and client. As Jungians, we take care to provide a safe, reliable, non-judgemental and compassionate environment in which the relationship can develop.
On a professional level, we work in accordance with strict ethical codes of conduct and we maintain the high standards of our work with on-going professional development and supervision.
The three therapists comprising North Coast Psychotherapy are Patrick Burnett, Marie Makinson, and psychiatrist, Prof. Leon Petchkovsky. We are all qualified Jungian analysts who have undergone an in-depth Jungian analytic training which includes a rigorous personal analysis.
Our inspiration comes from the work of C.G. Jung and others who have continued to develop his ideas as well as from the broader psychoanalytic tradition.
Now that you know a bit about North Coast Psychotherapy, you can read more about our individual psychotherapists: Patrick Burnett, Marie Makinson, Prof. Leon Petchkovsky

The Tennessee Titans should feel much better about their offense after Friday night's 28-17 victory over the Buffalo Bills.
It took a fourth-down try from the 2-yard line but the first-team offense finally scored a touchdown on Vince Young's scramble in the first half. The Titans followed that up with a perfectly executed two-minute drive to take a 17-14 halftime lead as Young hit Bo Scaife on a 5-yard pass.
Here are a few observations from Friday night's game:
*LenDale White, in his first start of the preseason, catapulted himself back into the running back fray with Chris Brown, by rushing for 51 yards on 11 carries.
Brown kept pace by adding 42 yards on six carries and also added a key 18-yard pass reception on third-and-17 to keep one Titans drive alive.
* While it appears White will get every chance to be the Titans' starter, Brown, whom running backs coach Sherman Smith labeled the favorite earlier this week, is making a case for at least a running-back-by-committee approach early on with his second consecutive strong performance.
*Young looked much better his second time out in the preseason, connecting on 13 of 19 passes for 162 yards while playing the first half.
*Also, quietly, backup Kerry Collins has put together two solid games off the bench after struggling in replacing a suspended Young in the preseason opener against Washington. Collins completed 5 of 6 passes in the third quarter, firing touchdowns of 16 yards to Justin Gage and 40 yards to Biren Ealy, who is trying to force his way into the receiver picture as a long shot.
*Speaking of receivers, Roydell Williams got the start Friday night and had the kind of game he needs to push himself up the depth chart with four catches for 68 yards. On the other end of the spectrum, Courtney Roby and Joel Filani were reduced to limited playing time at the end of the game.
*On defense, the pressure from the front four continued to be solid. A Kyle Vanden Bosch pressure led to Lamont Thompson intercepting J.P. Losman and setting up the Titans first touchdown.
Thompson has continued to have a strong camp and preseason and might be on the verge of fending off Calvin Lowry for the free safety job. Lowry, however, did make a big play of his own with a sack and forced fumble against Craig Nall that Sean Conover recovered.
*Michael Griffin's first start at cornerback was pretty good, except for one lapse, where he allowed a double move from Lee Evans and it turned into a 64-yard touchdown that gave Buffalo a 14-10 lead.
*The first set of cuts are on Tuesday, with the final cut to 53 players scheduled for Saturday. The Titans have some tough choices to make, and for the first time since about 2003, there is the indication that Tennessee's depth is strong enough that some of the players they let go of might be coveted elsewhere around the NFL.

The Farmers' Markets have been so beautiful and inspiring over the last couple of months. I feel so lucky to be at a market almost every day! Corn has been amazingly fresh this summer, and it's been a big hit at the markets. Check out the recipe below, courtesy of the Just Say Yes to Fruits and Vegetables program, for a refreshing, healthy and simple salad. Corn is also a great source of fiber. Who said healthy couldn't be delicious? Make sure to read to the end, too. That's where I give away my pro tips 🙂
For those of you who don't know, I'm also chronicling my Farmers' Market and cooking journeys on Instagram, so stop by for some photos and inspiration!
Raw Corn Salad
Corn is one of those vegetables that almost everyone loves. It's bright and sweet, and just screams summer. While corn is quite popular, a lot of people don't realize you can eat it raw! Yup, you heard me. RAW!
I remember the first time I had raw corn. I was driving back to NY from working at a retreat site in Maine. When we got to New Hampshire, one of my friends saw someone selling corn on the side of the road and demanded we stop. He bought a few ears and proceeded to eat the corn as it was, no cooking, no salt, no butter… nothing. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't reluctant, but I was surprised at how sweet and delicious it was right off the cob.
Give it a shot and let me know what you think!
4 ears of corn
2 tomato, chopped
1 red onion, chopped
2 carrots, grated
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tbs olive oil
1 cup cilantro, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
Remove the corn kernels from the the cob by running a knife along each side.
Mix together all ingredients and enjoy!
Pro tip: Get all the delicious juices from the cob by running the back of your knife along each side of the corn. No toothpicks or floss required!
Pro tip #2: If you're anything like me, you hate to waste. Instead of throwing away the cobs, you can make a delicious and sweet corn stock by simmering them for 45 minutes with some onions and herbs (optional). Corn soup is awesome!

If the Big Three could wave a magic wand and make all their business problems go away – health-care costs, pension problems, union grievances, quality perceptions – they still would lose market share. Detroit's auto makers produce fewer cars these days, thanks to 30 years of lackluster design. It is the one parameter over which they have complete and total control. But, with a few exceptions here and there, they've botched it. The halcyon days of product design started to crumble in the ...

Constituency Profile By Leo Odera Omolo In Kisumu City
KARACHUONYO constituency is one of the most advanced rural constituencies in the greater Southern Nyanza region.
The constituency is also showing the way, how best the government devolving funds such as CDF, School Bursary Funds, Road Maintenance Funds, and HIV/Aids control funds is distributed in an accountable and transparent manner. Thanks to the area MP, Eng. James Kwanya Rege, the former Information and Communication Permanent Secretary.
Rege, a communications expert by profession, has done what is unthinkable by other MPs representing rural constituencies in the Luo-Nyanza. Instead of filling the positions of CDF committee with semi-illiterate people, which is the trade mark of most legislators in the region, he has chosen to work with intellectual elites from the region.
The chairman of the CDF is a professor at the Maseno University, while the manager and all members of the disbursing committee are people of high integrity, and individual personalities who have excelled in other fields.
Karachuonyo is located in the tip of southern shore of Nyanza {Kivirondo} Gulf, and surrounded by three other constituencies, with Rangwe in the South, Kasipul-Kabondo in south east, and Nyakach in the East Karachuonyo is reputed for having the least changes in the number of MPs ever since its inception in 1962 as a parliamentary constituency. Its electorate are reputed to be some of the most enlightened and intelligent voters in Luo-Nyanza.
At the general election that ushered in independence in 1963, Karachuonyo was one of the electoral areas, which were under the grips of KANU in Luo-Nyanza, but interesting its first MP, the late Elijah Omolo Agar, an Indian trained economist, stood as an independent candidate and gave a KANU official candidate, the late Mr. Joseph Gogo Ochok, a thorough beating. Agar won the seat and immediately joined KANU in parliament.
Agar's unique and unbelievable victory over a KANU candidate did not come as surprise. It was the result of politics of intrigues within KANU, where two of the party luminaries were each sponsoring a parallel candidate against the other. Agar was sponsored by the late Tom Mboya, while Joseph Gogo Ochok was considered as a Mr.Jamogi Oginga Odinga point man in Karachuonyo.
At the time, Mboya's word in South Nyanza was like the law. Mboya had a upper hand over the late Jaramogi, though the two were serving the same party, with Jaramogi as its Vice President, while Mboya was the KANU secretary General. The two had very sharp ideological differences, giving credence to rumors at the time about the existence of KANU"A" and KANU "B". But this was the truth of the matter; there were two sets of KANU candidates in almost every constituency throughout KENYA.
Agar did not last long. He met a fatal car accident at Ruga, on the main Oyugis Kisii road while driving in the evening. He sustained a serious damage of his spinal code, and inspite of professional treatment in the United States, he remained on the wheel chair until his death. After Agar's death, the former Karachuonyo Regional Assembly member, an ex-primary school teacher, David Okiki Amayo, won the by-elections that followed.
Amayo repeated the same during the election proper, when the general election was called in 1969 and successfully defended his seat again in 1974 and 1979. Amayo was in big trouble in 1983, when he lost narrowly to his former schoolmate at Kamagambo SDA Training School, the outspoken and former head of Lang'ata Women Prison, Mrs Phoebe Muga Asiyo. Amayo moved to the High Court and challenged the election of Mrs Asiyo, citing certain irregularity.
But when a by-election was called, the two battled it out in a straight fight and bruising election, during which the entire Luo elites joined Mrs Asiyo's side. Amayo was considered to be a Moi's right hand man in Luo-Nyanza, and as such, was one of the few Luos collaborating with the KANU government, which had kept Jaramogi out in the cold, from the mainstream national politics. Leaflets and cartoons depicting Amayo as Andhoga{traitor] were dropped in Karachuyonyo on nightly basis. Many Luo took leave of absence from their places of work, and even those who were serving in the civil service joined in the fray on Mrs Asiyo's side.
The most intriguing thing concerning Amayo's defeat in the hands of the Iron Lady, was that even the Permanent Secretary the Office of the President in charge of Provincial Administration and Internal Security, the late Hezekiah Nelson Oyugi, was not comfortable with Amayo leadership, and was covertly supporting Mrs Asiyo, and yet, he was another Luo right hand man of Moi. Oyugi worked covertly through the intelligence system, and provincial administration ,to ensure that Amayo was out of Parliament at all costs.
Oyugi did the same thing to Rangwe MP, who was sacked as an Assistant Minister, and expelled from KANU. Muga lost his seat in the same fashion as Amayo. And later Dr. William Odongo Omamo similarly in Bondo, due to Oyugi. At this point, secret information started reaching Moi's ears that his most trusted PS had some hidden agenda after he had sidelined all former trusted friends and political associates of Moi in Luo Nyanza, and replaced then with his own sycophants under the KANU queue{Mlolongo} election of 1988, which was also Oyugi's brainchild.
Amayo bounced back in 1988, and was appointed an Assistant Minister in the new KANU government, against e expectation of many, that this time around, he was going to clinch a full cabinet portfolio. Others read mischief in the part of Oyugi, the PS, but he later succumbed to illness and died before completing hi term. His younger brother, Lazarus Ombaye Amayo, although fresh from an Indian University, won the by-election that followed on a KANU ticket, but after serving briefly as an Assistant Minister, lost the seat back to Mrs Asiyo in the first multi-party election of 1992, This time around Mrs Asiyo contested on a Ford Kenya ticket.
In the 1997, a radical US and Norway trained economist, Dr. Paul Adhu Awiti won the Karachuonyo seat on NDP ticket and retained the same in 2002, this time around on NARC ticket. But Dr. Awiti, who at one time served in the KANU/LDP merger as the Planning Minister, lost his ministerial position following the fallout in NARC, which was caused by the outcome of the referendum voting of November2005, in which Raila Odinga led Orange Democratic Movement, inflicted heavy defeat to the Kibaki led Banana group.
The people of Kabuoch and Kanyamwa in Ndhiwa and Kadem, and Karungu in Nyatike, consider themselves as the indignant people of Southern Nyanza, while treating other communities as outsiders and immigrants or sojourners, coining the name{Nyokal},which was widely used by the colonialists in classifying and dividing the communities in the region before independence in 1963.The closest cousins are the people of Kasipul-Kabondo constituency who are slightly more in terms of numerical numbers.
It has two administrative divisions, namely East and West Karachuonyo with 22 administrative locations. Eleven on each side of the two Divisions, sub –divided as follows: Acheng'Nyar-Juok{ consisting of the largest groups in the west { and Adwet Nyar Maragoli {Kadweti}, a sub-clans of Rachuonyo's youngest and fifth wife, which is the largest and occupying most part of Central and Eastern Karachuonyo, Nyaluo Nyar-Owaga, occupying the southern part and border Kasipul-Kabondo constituencies, Auma Nyar-Alego {Kauma} which is spread in Kibiri area, bordering Kochia in Rangwe Constituency and Nyipir Nyar-Lang'o {Kanyipir}, which occupies the central area.
It is subdivided in Eastern Division and West Division, by the historical mountain, known as God Huma ,which is full of folk tales or oral history, as the Kipsigis called this Mountain as Tiluet Ab Komiyat.{loosely translates that the Mountain of Honey}.
Karachuonyo had 55,000 registered voters, while their cousins Kasipul Kabondo had 65,000 registered voters, as per 2007 voters roll..
Most parts of the constituency is full of semi-arid land, which also lacks sufficient rainfall, but some parts is full of black cotton soil, which is suitable for cotton production. In fact, Karachuonyo was the leading producer of cotton in 1940s and 1950s.This attracted private investors who established a cotton ginnery at Kendu Bay. The ginnery is still there, but has changed names several time, and is now under the Asego Investments, a company which is associated with the former Rangwe MP. Eng Phillip Okundi.
The company has been trying hard, encouraging farmers to grow more cotton, so that Kenya can produce even surplus in order to benefit from AGOA. But most of farmers are still rather skeptical, following the woes they suffered under the primary farmers co-operative societies, which never paid their dues, for the cotton delivered for years, until they wound up and went burst.
Other occupation for economic gains in Karachuonyo include fishing activities, though the fishermen are still grappling with the menace caused to their fishing by the ever presence of water hyacinth, the weed that has blocked the passage to many fishing landing sites in Lake Victoria.
Karachuonyo is also an area which is good for rearing both native zebu cattle, as well as the more economically important grade animals for milk. But the farmers still prefer keeping the native ones instead of investing in the new method. At the same time, the population of native cattle is also dwindling, owing to the vanishing grazing land, due to population pressure.
Other parts of the constituency, and particularly in Kanyaluo areas, is suitable for both maize and grade cattle for milk production. Milk is very scarce and the population depends mostly on the supplies from Oyugis Market, which is brought in by milk hawkers from Kericho, Bureti, Sotik and Kitutu Chahe areas.
The area is suitable for irrigation, using the abundance waters of Rivers like Awach and Oluch on the borer of Karachuonyo-Rangwe.
The area Mp, Eng. Rege, is working hard to ensure that the region resumes its former role of being the bastion of cotton growing. He has secured more than a dozen tractors in a close collaboration with a multinational company. The tractors can now prepare cotton fields for the farmers on credit. He will even supply the farmers with seedling at an affordable prices and on credit. This is hoped, will boost the cotton production in the area in the near future.
Karachuonyo's history is also full of cultural and sporting events. It has produced some of the finest footballers in Kenya's history. The most notable are pioneer Okombo Kemdo who played for the Kenya eleventh in position of centre half Number 6 in the Gossage Cup Competitions in 1940s, Edward Odek Aringo also played in the Gossage team in the early 1950s.Others worth mentioning in this article are men like Tukiko Oyare, Mbim Ororo, Elmad Yimbo, Oraro Nyasore, Walala Okuta,Olela Waya Manael Awuor and others.
The younger generation of footballers who turned up for Kenya in regional competitions in East and Central African Tournaments include the likes of Charles Ochieng' and Agonda Lukio in the middle of 1960s and 1970s.
In music, the young Karachuyonyo soldiers returning after being discharged from the KAR at the end of second World War brought acositic [Box Guitrs} guitars with them, though they were not so much talented, but they invented the music in the early 1940s, leading to the formation of the defunct Kendu Jazz Band in the 1950s. The pioneers were Joseph Bonga, Olero Burma, Okul Kaleah, Nyamuche, Dick David Ogweno [Bandmaster}.
The younger generation of guitarists and entertainers produced in Karachuonyo were the likes of the blind and genius Pius Olima {Randiti}, Ben Blustus Obollawayo, Were Kerry, Odiango Abuoga, George Ramogi, George Ojijo.
Residents of Karachuony constituency played pivotal role in shaping up the development of the entire Southern Nyanza, by producing early educationists, preachers, agronomists, veterinarians and medical doctors. This perhaps, could be attributed to the early arrival of the missionaries. They trained teachers from Karachuonyo, who were found almost everywhere in the entire Southern Nyanza, and opened schools, with trained teachers in almost every school that came in the early 1930s and 1940s.
Pastors and priest, evangelists and other teachings of Christianity spread like bush area in the region, which was earlier on impregnable due to primitive beliefs of the natives.
But one teacher, who historically remained the architect of development in the entire Southern Nyanza, is the late Mzee Paul Mboya. After graduating as a teacher at Gendia Mission, Mboya taught for a while, before he was made a pastor of the SDA church, at the tender age of 26. His talent and preaching prowess attracted the colonialists, who appointed him and made him a location chief for Karachuonyo, after the first Chieftains of Nyakiti, Oganyo Odero, Okoth Ougo, Orinda, Dola Maira. Paul Mboya served, then left the chieftainship to one of his cousins, Ex-Senior Chief Zephania Malit.
But in 1946, the colonialist transferred Paul Mboya to Kisii, where the South Nyanza district headquarters was located and charged him with the task of forming the African Local Native Council {ALNC}. And he was made its first secretary. The responsibility covered the whole of what is today called Gusii Region, Southern Nyanza and Kuria.
Paul Mboya was among the African top administrators from this continent who attended the Victory Parade in London in 1946, to celebrate the defeat of Adolf Hitler by allied forces in 1945, the man who had set the whole world alight. He against returned to the UK to witness the coronation of Queen Elizabeth 11, in June 1953.
Mboya retired from active services in 1962, as the Clerk to the County Council of South Nyanza, based at Homa-Bay, after the separation of the Luos and the Kisii by the colonial government. But after he had built many market places, trading centres, DEB Intermediate Schools , dispensaries, Health Centres, feeder and access roads, which were by then under the local authorities. Although he was serving the entire district then, he did have a lot of influence for the funds allocations for the development of his native Karachuonyo.
In an interview with some elders at Kendu Bay, they readily acknowledged Paul Mboya's efforts in developing Karachuonyo.
Eng. Rege is arguably trying his level best, though he is facing stiffest opposition from certain quarters. Mostly from those nursing parliamentary ambitions seem hell bent on sabotaging the development programme in the area, by using their ill gotten money in drugging the youth, and dishing out cheap cash.
Without mentioning names, Eng. Rege appealed to all able people living in his constituency to join him so that they could work together and turn Karachunyo to be a fully developed.
There is urgent need to improve facilities like Medicare, schools, roads, fishing, and other area which require agent development. They can brainstorm and put their heads together and turn the area to be the bastion of food grains.
Kendu-Bay Homa-Bay road is under construction and it is in its advanced stage. Once completed, this road will boost business activities in the region. He appealed to the government to tarmac the Oyugis Kendu-Bay road in order to crown up the region with good roads.

- Artist: Rachel O'Neal
- Genre: Rock
- Release Date: 11/11/2008
Rachel O'Neal started her musical career as a lead vocalist in a variety of bands in the early 1990's, but has of late been honing her craft as a songwriter and solo acoustic performer based in Athens, GA. The reception she has gotten at her acoustic shows prompted her to get into the studio and record a fully produced version of the collection of songs she has been playing live. The culmination of her efforts is Rachel's debut record, Getaway. For this record, Rachel is joined by some extremely talented musicians. Getaway was recorded by acclaimed producer John Keane at his studio in Athens. John also lent his considerable musical talent to each of the tracks. His genius in the subtle layering of electric, bass, pedal steel, and acoustic guitar parts, as well as mandolin, keyboard and background vocals help convey the breadth and depth of emotions contained in these songs. Accomplished live and session drummer, Andrew Hanmer, provided the heartbeat of the up-tempo songs on the album, while well-known jazz upright bassist, Neal Starkey, set the mood with his alternately mellow and thumping grooves. Domingo Ortiz of Widespread Panic rounded out the rhythm section with a myriad of his percussion instruments. Completing this all-star lineup is renowned musician Randall Bramblett (Traffic, Steve Winwood), who contributed melodic piano and vibrant saxophone parts to the record. This record is an eclectic blend of indie-rock, jazz, and southern-tinged Americana. Rachel's fluid, soulful vocals artfully convey lyrics that are semi-autobiographical yet touch on universal themes: love, loss, hope, freedom and inner strength. The songs range from coping with the loss of her husband to enjoying all that life still has to offer. The title track is a light-hearted, head-bopping escape; "When You're Not Here" is a smoky, late-night piano jazz club tribute to romance; and "I Believe in Love," with it's pedal steel, shows Rachel's southern roots. No matter the listener's musical vantage point, everyone will recognize themselves somewhere in this record.

Native HDMI connectivity. And much more!
HDMI connectivity is the latest and most popular AV standard. It is capable of sending pure digital signals over much longer lengths than older analogue cables (such as VGA and composite) whilst retaining the detail of every pixel.
As more and more devices output via HDMI (including DSLR cameras, computers, Bluray players and mobile phones) Lilliput monitors can be found in many different diverse applications, from field camera crews to elaborate AV installations.
Intelligent HD scaling
There may well be native 1920×1080 7 inch, 8 inch and 10 inch monitors on the market, but this leads to a hefty price tag. Lilliput's market position is - and always has been - low price and great quality. To achieve a lower price point, Lilliput devised a way to scale full 1080p and 1080i signals to regular 7", 8" and 10" LCD panels, and the results are pure magic.

Click here to discover our full range of VGA monitors.
VGA - the video standard to depend on
VGA was - and still is - the de facto standard for displaying video from a computer. Though it is being replaced by new digital standards such as HDMI and DVI, VGA has become a standard many organisations depend on for their AV requirements.
Lilliput's VGA monitors are no exception. Our compact 7", 8" and 10" VGA monitors are reliable and well suited to mission-critical applications, especially in environments where industrial computers are involved.
Competitive prices
VGA is an older technology compared to HDMI and DVI. That means that VGA monitors are also sold at a much lower price. Not only do our customers get a rock-solid and dependable monitor, but they also get this at the most competitive price on the market.
Some of Lilliput's most popular VGA monitors include the 619GL-70NP/C/T - our budget 7 inch monitor with touch screen, and the FA1042-NP/C - our low cost 10 inch monitor (touch screen available).
USB monitors have taken the AV market by storm. By connecting a Lilliput 7 inch, 8 inch or 10 inch USB monitor to a Windows computer, all power, video and touch screen (if present) can be handled by one USB cable.

Like most people in the world, the terrorist attacks in Paris last night left me speechless and horrified. I was heartbroken. A city I love dearly had become the latest victim to hatred and I found myself unable to continue watching coverage as the body count grew higher and higher. I quickly checked all social media to see if my Parisian friends were okay, and thankfully them and their families are all accounted for and safe. But so many weren't so lucky.
I listened as places I knew and had walked were the latest targets and watched as neighborhoods and landmarks I recognized were flanked by police instead of tourists. It was surreal and I felt so helpless. Of course there was nothing I could do, but I wanted to do something.
So I want to talk about Paris, because Paris is very important to me.
Paris took care of me when I was truly lost and had little to no options.
Back in 2012, when I was living in London, I made the stupid mistake of letting my student visa expire and then leaving the country. I went to Belgium for a weekend with the intention of coming back just on a regular tourist visa until I left to head back to the US. Even though I said I was going to leave, I had no proof, and after five hours being interrogated in Calais, I was refused entry to the UK.
I was left at Calais ferry depot at 5AM with nothing but my belongings on my back. I couldn't get back into the UK. I had no Euros on me. My laptop and phone were both dead. I was exhausted. So I sat on the floor with fellow travelers and homeless, waiting for things to make sense. It took a few hours for the shock of everything to wear off and for me to get the gumption to figure out what to do. I had promised the customs agent that I wouldn't walk into Calais, but I didn't have money for the bus and the currency exchange was closed. So I charged a call to my flatmate in London to ask him to call my boss that I wasn't going to be coming into work and made my way out the door.
I didn't actually know where I was walking, I just headed towards what looked like town. I walked past refugee camps along the way, keeping my head low, unsure of what to do. I was stopped along the way by an old French gentleman asking for directions that I couldn't give, and eventually found myself into the center of Calais and then to the train station. I had friends in Paris. If I could get to Paris I could at least begin to figure out what to do. I managed to find wifi and the news of my refused entry having spread, I already had an offer for a place to stay for the night. One charged train ticket to Paris later, I was a step closer to figuring this all out than I was a few hours before.
It wasn't the first time I'd been to Paris. When I studied abroad in my junior year of undergrad, I went there for Thanksgiving weekend to meet up with my best friend who was studying in Florence at the time. I immediately fell in love with the city, not that it's hard to fall in love with Paris. There was a transportation strike happening at the time, and being 19 and adventurous, it just added to the experience. It was three wonderful days of history, culture, and a lot of bread. I adored it. I wanted to go back immediately.
It would be a few years before I would return, and this time by accident as my train from Calais pulled in to the Gare du Nord. I charged my phone at a cafe along the Seine as I waited to get the address from my friend, slowly making my way to her small apartment in the center of the city. She hugged me. She fed me. And then she put me to bed. I woke up the next day rested but still restless, and it was then I learned that the local Sherlockian group would be meeting that night. She brought me along despite my French being practically non existent beyond "Je suis désolé. Je ne parle pas français." And I'm so thankful she did because no sooner was I there and everyone heard what had happened were they talking amongst themselves about who could take me in. And suddenly I had two more places to stay and I nearly cried at the table. These were mostly people I had just met or didn't know beyond exchanging a few words online. I was overwhelmed to say the least.
I'd end up spending a week in Paris between three apartments. I cried, I laughed, I wandered around a lot, imitated a few statues to make myself and others laugh, but ultimately I felt loved. Paris and the Parisians had welcomed me with open arms and the experience cemented my loyalty to the city. Of all places to be loved in, Paris was not a bad choice.
I would go on to spend five weeks in Leipzig, Germany with a friend and find a home away from home, but I will forever be indebted to Paris and the kind people there who took in a scared young woman and let her know that she'd be taken care of.
I did get back to the UK eventually, a new visa in hand and a new respect for customs laws. And I would return to Paris many times in the following years. Whenever someone would come to visit me, I would take them to Paris. I had to take them to Paris.
From Montmartre to Les Invalides to the Louvre and Saint Denis, Paris will always be part of my being. It's more than a place I visit every once in awhile, it was a home and a place of comfort when I desperately needed it. To hear and see what has happened there hurts my soul.
Paris will heal, because it always does.It's seen horror and pain time and time again. But I hope it heals this time with the knowledge that it and its people are loved, and all our hearts are with The City of Light. Because Paris' light will never extinguish, it will only burn brighter.
Hope time has healed Paris. Paris is such an enchanting and lovely city, it hypnotizes you with its charm and pulls you to it with an irresistible magnetism again and yet again.
Paris is one beautiful city for sure. And time is the best healer. But yes, when a place welcomes us with open arms, we definitely fall in love with it, forever.
Paris is such a special city. I love it just as much as you do! Sounds like hopping between the three apartments was well and truly worth it! Great pictures, especially love the one under the Eiffel Tower!

So you guys might not remember this..but I just had a baby. Shocker I know. But I haven't really felt like I had the energy to make a big birthday celebration happen for Evelyn this year, not like last year for sure.
So this year was just kind of chill and as a 2 year old, Evelyn still loved it. It was a two part birthday.
Part one was the Museum of Natural Curiosity on Tuesday. Evelyn was insistent on inviting her friend Zaydree (or dree dree as Evelyn says). They both had a blast! Evelyn was a little overwhelmed by all the people at first but when she warmed up to it she had so much fun!
Her actual birthday was pretty chaotic. I had all these grand plans of how I would make the day special for Evelyn but then Remi decided to be the snottiest, whiniest baby ever and wouldn't let me put him down. It was causing me an excessive amount of stress and disappointment and Evelyn didn't know what having a birthday meant and was happy to sit and play while I glared at my crying baby (Don't worry, we've since made up).
My knight in shining armor (Chris..duh) came and took Remi to work with him for the rest of the day and gave me a chance to give Evelyn some one on one time. We had a ton of fun at the splash pad, then picked up her cake and her dad and brother and headed back home for a little family celebrating.
She loved each one of her presents and wanted to play with them as she opened them. I think next year one present will suffice. But her favorite thing was those silly little characters on top of the cake. She takes them everywhere! But she also loves her bike from Grammy and PeePaw too. She just needs to grow a couple inches so she can ride it.
^^Everyone had to wear a party hat. Even Pooh!
All in all the day turned out well in the end. And I don't have to plan another party until Remi's 1st next June. Whew.

Dedham hit-and-run leads to car chase
A victim of a hit-and-run incident chased to the car that struck her vehicle Tuesday night, but did not catch the culprit, according to Dedham police.
The accident took place on Route 1 South just after the exit for Route 128 North, according to the victim. She reported it to police at about 11:15 p.m. on Aug. 13, shortly after it occurred.
After feeling a jolt, the victim said she saw a blue Camry speed by. She took note of the license plate number and began chasing the car.
The Camry took "evasive action" including speeding and quickly changing lanes before turning right onto a street soon after passing the Boch Toyota facility in Norwood, the victim told police.
The victim's vehicle did not have any contact marks on it, police said, and detective Kevin Mahoney suggested she contact the dealer to ensure there was no damage to the bumper's sensor systems.

Via George King of the NY Post:
Alex Rodriguez left Fenway Park's playing field at 6:15 last night and headed to the batting cage where he would find out if he can play tonight against the Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium.
"I will know after I hit in the cage," Rodriguez said.
However, Rodriguez wasn't sure either way. "Hopefully," he said after watching the Yankees hang a 4-2 loss on the Red Sox. "I did some 'T' and toss and hitting off Kevin (Long)."
Rodriguez missed his fifth straight game because of a sprained left thumb. He participated in conditioning drills and fielded ground balls at third base during batting practice but didn't hit on the field.
"My hope is yes," Joe Girardi said of Rodriguez returning to the cleanup spot tonight. "We will see how he feels."
At this point the Yankees have a comfortable lead in the Wild-Card and they've done decently in his absence, an extra day or couple of days off to try to get A-Rod to 100 percent is worth it. Especially now that Mark Teixeira was beaned in the leg they could use him, but that makes it even more important that he is healthy when he comes back. If anything it is getting his surgically repaired knee some extra time off as well.


text: The ANSR Evolve 3 MIPS helmet is a mid-priced helmet with some high end features. MIPS changes the way to think about helmet safety. Developed by brain surgeons and scientists to reduce the rotational forces on the brain caused by angled impacts to the head, adding MIPS to the Evolve 3 helmet brings state of the art safety technology other companies charge double the price for. Modern helmet shells have many sculptured ridges and valleys in them. Most helmets, including some very expensive brands, do not have an impact absorbing EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) liner that follows and fills in those peaks and valleys. The Evolve 3 dual density liner does fill in those peaks and valleys and this creates improved impact absorption. Safety is key with all ANSR helmets and the Evolve 3 passes two of the toughest safety standards today. Comfort is addressed with ANSR's round oval shell shape and using top of the line SilverCool wicking material in the interior. This material wicks away perspiration and dries faster than other materials, plus it is anti-microbial to help eliminate odors between washes. Shell design features great venting, a strengthened chin bar and large eye port that accommodate most goggles including "over the glasses" types.

Chris Hadfield Chris Hadfield's Life Chris Hadfield's Family Chris Hadfield's School Life Chris Hadfield's Accomplishments How Chris Hadfield
Will be Remembered in the
Future Chris Hadfield was born on August 29, 1959 in Sarnia Ontario. His parents are Roger and Eleanor Hadfield. He was raised on a small corn farm in southern Ontario and became interested in flying at a young age. Chris enjoys skiing, writing, running, singing, playing the guitar, and play vollyball. When he was 9 on the day of Apollo moon landing, he had an idea of becoming an astronaut. More over, Chris Hadfield's favourite hockey team as a child, and even now, is the Toronto Maple Leafs. Parents: Roger and Eleanor Hadfield Chris went to White Oaks Secondary School in Oakville, Ontario until he gratuated.
Then for high school he went
to Milton District High School in
1977. When Chris was 15, he
earned a glider pilot scholarship
as a member of the Royal Canadian
Air Cadets and at age 16 he won a
powered pilot scholarship. Once he
graduated high school, he spent 2
years at Royal Roads Military College.
While at college, he received a bachelor's
degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1982. Wife: Helene Walter Children: Kyle, Evan, Kristin Chris Hadfield has many accomplishments. He has a ton of accomplishments having to do with flight training. He's had 2 space flights. STS-74 and STS-100. STS-74 was in November of 1995, and STS-100 was in April of 2001. Additionally, on December 19, 2012 he launched aboard a Soyuz spacecraft to the ISS. More over, Chris is working on his first music album to be recorded in orbit during his free time on Expedition 35. More About Chris
Hadfield's Music He's going to be recording the album using a Larivée Parlor guitar, Shure microphones, and Cakewalk for recording. The first song he recorded in space was Jewel In The Night, and it was released via YouTube on Christmas Eve 2012. He also collaborated with Ed Robertson to sing "I.S.S (Is Somebody Singing)" and it was first aired on the CBC Radio Program Q and first released be CBC Music Online on February 8, 2013. Why Chris Hadfield
is Worth Selecting I think Chris Hadfield is worth selecting because he was the first canadian to go up into space. Additionally, he used The Royal Canadian Mint for his space walk to install the Canadarm 2 on the I.S.S. Also, the airport in Sarnia used to be called the Sarnia airport. However, when he went up into space for the first time in 1997, it was renamed to the Sarnia Chris Hadfield Airport. More over, a school in Milton, Ontario was named Chris Hadfield Public School, which is part of the Halton District School Board. I hope you enjoyed my presentation on Chris Hadfield The End! Some Pics From Space Chris Hadfield
Underwater From May 10 to May 23, 2010 Chris was the Commander of NEEMO 14, a NASA undersea mission to test exploration concepts living in an underwater facility. NEEMO 14 used the ocean floor to simulate exploration missions to the surface of asteroids, moons, and Mars in order to gain a better understanding of how astronaut crews interact with equipment including advanced spacesuits, a lander, a rover, and robotic arms. Questions? I think Chris Hadfield will be remembered in the future as the first canadian to go up into space. What I also think is pretty cool that people will remember is that he is the first astronaut to go up into space and tell people what is happening and keeping us updated by using twitter. Additionally, when Chris told us to turn our house lights on so he could take a picture passing through Sarnia, it was amazing how even though it was foggy and not the best day, he still got the picture that still looked awesome.

There's a misconception out there that I'm hoping I can help eliminate.
On Tuesday, while at an appointment, I was asked by a fellow food-lover (FFL) what I was making for Valentine's Day. When I explained that Jeff had made meatballs and I was making fresh pasta to go with them, I found it interesting that my FFL raised their eyebrows in amazement and said, "oh, that takes too long – like a whole afternoon."
First of all, if you've ever eaten fresh pasta you know that no matter how long it takes to make the pasta it is worth the wait; but second, if you've ever made fresh pasta you know it really doesn't take that long at all!!!! If you haven't made it, I'd urge you to give it a whirl. It's really quite simple and actually takes less time than driving to the store for a box of sub-par pasta, fighting the crowds in said store, and driving home.
I went to mapquest.com and found that it takes 11 minutes to get from my house to Wegman's. If I take 7 minutes in the store (which is a conservative estimate at our Wegman's because it seems there are never enough cashier lines open), then round trip we're talking 29 minutes for a trip to the store to buy pasta.
Why did I bother to look this up? Because I wanted to see how making a batch of fresh pasta compares to running to the store to buy one.
While I was making my pasta on Tuesday, I ran a stopwatch and photographed the process of making the dough. The results are below….drumroll please……
First, I got out the tools that I would need including the food processor and lid, kosher salt box, flour, eggs and measuring cups/spoon.
Then I measured the flour and salt into the food processor, broke four of the five eggs into a bowl and scrambled them with a fork, and added them to the food processor.
I checked the consistency of the pasta and realized I needed to add the yolk from the fifth egg. So I used my Yolk Out to separate the egg and I added the yolk to the mixture. I gave the dough a quick whirl in the food processor after adding the egg yolk and then the consistency was just right.
At this point I checked the stopwatch and here's where I was….
That's right….6 minutes, 5 seconds to make the dough.
Next step? Kneading.
I kneaded and kneaded until the dough was smooth and elastic and then wrapped the dough in plastic wrap to rest.
I checked the stopwatch again and….
During the resting period I went about my day doing things unrelated to the pasta. Typically I rest the dough for about 30 minutes; however I wanted to roll the pasta and put it into the water just before we ate. So I let the pasta rest in the refrigerator for several hours and pulled it out of the fridge about 30 minutes before I wanted to begin rolling it. I also put a large pot of water on the stove to boil so that it would be ready when I had cut the last of the pasta.
When I started rolling the dough I started the stopwatch again and kept it going throughout the process of cutting the dough into quarters, rolling each quarter through the pasta machine on levels 1 through 6 and hand cutting the rolled dough into pappardelle (wide noodles).
Just before dropping the noodles into the boiling (now salted) water, I took a screen shot of the stopwatch on my phone.
I dropped the noodles into the boiling water, waited for them to rise to the top and let them cook for 1 minute before removing them into a colander.
All total……..
What did I learn? And what do I hope you learned? That while it does take slightly longer to make fresh pasta than it does to drive to the store and buy a box; the results of making your own are far superior to the results you'll get from using boxed pasta and you'll be proud you made it yourself when you hear your dinner companion ooh'ing and aah'ing over the meal.
Just a few notes: A few seconds were taken up by fumbling with my phone for pics. I didn't include the resting time because I used it for other things like laundry, work, etc. And the 29 minutes for store-bought pasta doesn't include the time to boil the water and cook it when you get home. So, technically it takes less time to make it than to buy it – unless you live really close to the grocery store!!!!
The following is a fool-proof recipe for basic pasta. If you want to get really creative (and add to your time) consider adding pureed spinach or other veggies/juice in place of some or all of the water/egg for beautifully colored and flavored pasta….but that's a post for another day!!!
Basic Homemade Pasta
Keywords: Pasta
- 3 ½ to 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 – 5 large eggs (start with 4 eggs, beaten)
- 1 tsp kosher salt
In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, whirl 3 1/2 cups of the flour and the salt to combine.
In a small bowl, crack four of the five eggs and beat with a fork.
With the food processor running, slowly drizzle the eggs into the flour/salt mixture through the feed tube.
Stop the food processor and test the consistency of the dough. It should be moist but not sticky. If it is too dry, add the YOLK ONLY from the remaining egg, whirl and test again – only add the egg white if necessary. If it is too wet, add 1/4 cup of the remaining flour, whirl and test again – only add the remaining flour if necessary.
Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 10 – 15 minutes.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
Cut the dough into quarters, roll through pasta roller until it reaches the desired thickness and cut into the noodle shape of your choice.

swap it up
Monday, June 30, 2008
so, may i present you with the 20 something bloggers great blog swap! the following post is from angela noelle who writes the blog tomorrow is another day.
also, be sure to go check out my post about my deathly fear of all things bird. ew. they are the rats of the sky i tell you. i know you want to read about how i was TRAPPED in my apartment yesterday! not cool bird, not cool.
Hello, Cleveland's A Plum readers! I'm Angela--also known as Wickedly Scarlett around these here internet parts--from Tomorrow is Another Day, and I've had the pleasure of being paired with Alexa for the Twenty Something Bloggers Great Blog Swap. So, I'm posting here, and Alexa is posting there--it's just like Freaky Friday! Only hopefully without the washing machine malfunction. And the actual body swapping.
Anyway, I'm sitting here on this lovely Sunday evening, enjoying the sunshine that Seattle has finally decided to grace its residents with, watching season one of Mad Men, eating my fifth cupcake of the day and trying as hard as possible to not think about the fact that tomorrow is my first day of school in five years.
If you had told me just three months ago that I would even be contemplating going back to school in the near future, I would have laughed in your face. Rude, but true. In fact, my husband has been batting around the idea of grad school for the past couple of years, and every time he brings it up I have stated with all seriousness that I would never go back to icky old school. School means tests, papers, tons of fairly uninteresting reading, and worst of all group work. Shudder.
But something happened a little over two months ago. It was on the train from Naples to Rome when my turned to my husband and said hesitantly, "You know, I've been thinking of going back to school to become a teacher." When the world did not cease to spin on its axis, I didn't sprout a second head, and Colby didn't pass out in a dead faint or laugh uproariously, I realized that for the first time in the past two years, when I had brought up a possible career field that I might have a glimmer of interest in, I actually meant it.
As soon as we got home I started doing some research--leaning heavily on the blogosphere of course, because I am incapable of making decisions without the input of my readers--and found a school that fit all of my criteria--chiefly that I could get this school larnin' done as quickly as possible and preferably while wearing pajamas. A few weeks ago, I was notified of my acceptance into an elementary education masters with certification program, and that brings us back to today, as I sit on my couch, my stomach in knots while I stress out over the fact that my third and last textbook still hasn't arrived.
The beauty of this first day of school is that all of my classes are online, so tomorrow morning I can wake up, run some errands, pick up a friend at the airport, visit the Space Needle, go out to dinner and then just come home and log in to my class site before midnight. I can tell you right now, that schedule trumps every single semester of my undergraduate degree when I would sweat and slave over every course time slot to ensure optimum sleeping in arrangements. So, as you're reading this on Monday, I'm probably scanning the syllabus, paging through a textbook, trying not to cry when I see the phrase "compare and contrast", or you know, eating some clam chowder. So wish me luck, and please, don't feel the need to share your best elementary teacher torture stories, I'm still residing firmly in the land of denial in that regard!

Yea Angela. Hang in there and learn all kinds of cool things for me!!
Who was the smart guy who invented school.ReplyDelete
Honeslty. It sucks. But I can relate so much to this post- it's exactly how I was before I decided to go to business school...minus Naples and a spouse.
Congrats on finding something you feel passionate enough about that you would brave the dreaded #2 pencil for!ReplyDelete

Online classes rock! I took two to get my M.Ed. and it was the best thing ever! I'd go to "class" while drying my hair or eating or driving if you have a Blackberry ( but I don't recommend that one)ReplyDelete
Good Luck!
How cool to be doing something you are excited about!ReplyDelete
I am really happy for you! Work is crazy right now and they just informed us that they are closing our office within the year, so I've been doing a lot of thinking about what I want to do "when I grow up"ReplyDelete
I'm 28 tomorrow, so I think I need to make a decision!
:) Becky
All the contents you mentioned in post is too good and can be very useful. I will keep it in mind, thanks for sharing the information keep updating, looking forward for more posts.ThanksReplyDelete
