Future of Educational Change by Ciaran Sugrue
Book DescriptionThis timely book provides a systematic overview and critique of contemporary approaches to educational change from some of the best-known writers and scholars in the field, including Andy Hargreaves, Larry Cuban, Ivor Goodson, Jeannie Oakes, Milbrey McLaughlin, Judyth Sachs and Ann Liebermann. Divided into four sections, the book addresses the key themes: * What has been the impact of educational change? * How has the impact differed in different circumstances? * What are the new directions for research on policy and practice? * How can we link research, policy and practice? By highlighting critical lessons from the past, the book aims to set an agenda for policy-related research and the future trajectories of educational reforms, while also taking into account the dominant rhetorics of international 'social movements' and the 'refracted' nature of policy agenda at national and local levels. This book addresses issues which with many educators around the world are currently grappling. It will appeal to academics and researchers in the field, as well as providing an introduction to key issues and themes in Educational Change for graduates and practitioners.

Paulo lost both his mother and father to AIDS. When his mother had become sick she decided to take Paulo and his brother to live with their fathers sister. There auntie was very welcoming to the two boys even though she struggled financially with her own children.
Paulo's maternal grandmother would send them money to pay for their school tuition but their aunty would keep the money to help buy food for the family. Paulo and his brother were eventually sent away from school. Paulo knew he had to look after his little brother and make sure he had a good education. He believed that he would be able to make some money if he ran away to Kampala and got a job.
Life in Kampala was very hard. Paulo was forced to sleep on the streets as he had nowhere to go. He tried to collect scrap metal and plastic bottles to earn money but he struggled to make enough money to feed himself. Paulo new there was no way that he would be able to send money home to his little brother. He lived on the streets in Kampala for a year as he was too afraid and ashamed to go back home.
The Retrak staff met Paulo during street outreach and invited him to visit the drop in centre. Paulo went to the drop in centre the next day and was able to have a hot meal and see a nurse. He started to visit the centre regularly to play with the other children and have catch up lessons.
The Retrak staff knew that Paulo desperately wanted to be with his brother again and started to look for a way for him to return home. They visited his aunty but saw that she was struggling to cope financially. They then went to see his Grandmother on his mother's side and spoke to her about her grandchildren. She was desperate to see her grandchildren and more than happy to take them both in.
When the Retrak staff took Paulo to meet his Grandmother she didn't recognize him. Other members of the family came along to see the boy that they believed they would never see again. Paulo was delighted to see that his family still wanted him.
The family thanked the Retrak staff and gave them drinks to celebrate the Paulo's return. His grandmother was very pleased that her two grandchildren would be living with her soon.
Just a week after Paulo had been taken to see his grandmother he was on his way back home. He knew his grandmother and little brother were waiting for him and he couldn't be happier. The pain of living on the streets was starting to disappear.
Paulo is now back in school and doing well with his catch up lessons. The Retrak staff have been to visit the family and are delighted to report back about how well he is doing.
Thank you for supporting Retrak and enabling children like Paulo to have a real alternative to life on the streets.

I keep coming back, the food is great, service is great and you can lounge outside while you eat.
It's my first stop when I arrive on the North Shore.
Stopped by for some Mexican food. The bartender was so friendly. Chips and Salsa were great. Great atmosphere. Stayed a couple of hours. Great drink selection. I recommend this restaurant for anyone who want some great Mexican food.
The gals were fantastic (both hostess and server), food prompt, and prices decent... and the food was great! We didn't have any drinks, but a wide variety in crazy colours kept coming out so that was wild. The Mexican decor was over the top, but hey, it's a Mexican restaurant, so what do you expect?
The ala cart option is nice because there is so much food. The margarita was better than a fancy place that we visited in Waikiki. The place has nice casual vibe. Outdoor patio tables were a nice touch for some of the outdoor seating.
Went to Cholos for dinner and love the location and decor. When we ordered, it wasn't busy, but our waiter Matt wasn't happy. It looked like a long day of work. I would like to tip for the service, but I felt it wasn't worth the service. The food was great, but when asked for water, it was a chore....
Nice location and atmosphere. Poor imitation of mexical food. Worst nachos I have ever had, chips with melted cheddar chese.
We heard about this place and stopped in while we were touring the island. The food was fantastic. Great size servings and the mango margaritas were amazing.
My husband ordered the fish tacos. He raved about them. Said they were awesome. I ordered the spinach quesadilla. The tortilla looked like it was just colored green and there was very little spinach in the quesadilla. The chips and salsa were ok. Fun ambiance however.
This Mexican restaurant was so great we went back 3 times. They had no problems providing Gluten Free food for me and the serve size was massive and really tasty. Great cocktails, great service, great atmosphere.
fun place! I had the vegetarian taco salad and it was okay. Had a nice margarita and the atmosphere and service was great!

Antonio Rebollo
Antonio Rebollo (born June 19, 1955 in Madrid, Spain) is the paralympic archer who lit the Olympic Cauldron by shooting an arrow, igniting it, during the Opening Ceremony of the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona.[1]
When he was eight months old he contracted Polio with both legs affected, the right one severely. He was quoted as saying "I simply wanted to do things that challenge me." He was one of 200 archers considered. There were sunrise practices, along with wind machines to simulate various weather conditions, and flaming arrows that would often singe fingers. He was among four finalists, and was chosen just two hours prior to the release of his arrow.[2]
|There were no fears. I was practically a robot. I focused on my positioning and reaching the target. My feelings were taken from the people who described to me how they saw it. What they felt, their emotions, their cries. This is what made me realize what the moment actually meant.
|— Antonio Rebollo, in a segment with NBC about the lighting of the cauldron during the Opening Ceremony of the 1992 Summer Olympics.[2]
Rebollo represented Spain at the 1984, 1988, and 1992 Summer Paralympics. He won a silver in 1984, bronze in 1988, and a second silver in 1992.

Along the lane
towards Diddling
you stopped
and looked
at the church
on the horizon
the hedgerows
the blue
and white
clouded sky
stood next to you
her hand
holding yours
the softness
of her skin
against yours
her dark hair
by a green ribbon
one of my favourite sights
she said
the church
more visible
the closer you get
her voice disturbed
from the hedgerows
a blue tit
took flight
the flutter
of small wings
we never had hedgerows
in London
you said
no blue tit birds
no wide fields
or Downs
just streets
and houses
and pavement
and grass
around our flats
where pigeons
or sparrows
for thrown out
from windows above
Jane gazed at you
her dark eyes
I'd hate that
she said
I love my countryside
and fields
and birds
and open sky
she sniffed
the air
and you walked on
along the lane
she pointed out
and hedgerow plants
and talked
of the farmhand
who died
when his tractor
turned over
in a field
and the first time
she remembered
the small church
and her father
holding her high
above his head
so she could see
the expanse
of the Downs
and you listened
to her words
the language
holding you
and drawing you in
her lips opening
and closing
her summer dress
as she walked
her sandaled feet
treading the lane
you wanted
to captured it all
to recall it
years later
all over

Intermediate Egret
Through the last month I've seen a few of these lovely birds forage in the lawns of TIFR (Mumbai., India). Today I decided to spend some time photographing them. The first thing I realized was that they keep a wary eye on humans although they have spent days in their vicinity.
Stalking after them in the open is no use. One way to get close is to wait until they forage near a tree and then use the tree to cover your approach. Once you judge that you are close enough you can look around the bole of the tree and take a quick snap or two. That's how this was taken.

Check out this trailer for "Under the Dome" Season 2 that was released Friday (March 14) by CBS. After a brief recap of where we left off last summer, executive producers Neal Baer and Brian K. Vaughan tease what's in store for viewers.
"The second season is going to take us to places where the book never got to go … Stephen King gave us some ideas we never imagined," says Vaughn.
"We're really excited because [King] is bringing his usual twists and turns and shocking events," says Baer, of the book's author, who is penning the Season 2 premiere episode. "At the end of last season, our characters found out the dome came from another world. The dome is actually here to protect them," adds Vaughn.
"What's outside comes inside," says Baer, ominously, as the video also teases the two deaths in the season premiere and the new characters — Junior's uncle and a young school teacher.
"Under the Dome" returns Monday, June 30 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on CBS. The premiere episode is titled "Heads Will Roll."

The Ripon Chiefs were hard at work Friday afternoon in preparation for an Aug. 15 jamboree scrimmage in Winton.

The Manteca Demons Under-14 travel ball team took on the Vacaville Storm Saturday afternoon at Big League Dreams.
Eighty years ago, on July 27, 1929, the Tracy Tigers decisioned the Manteca Maulers at Tracy by the score of 3 to 2. The game was one of those stingy affairs, neither side getting a lot of chances to break any records. This was simply because of the adverse weather conditions and the work of the two pitchers. Benny Hooper was responsible for both Manteca runs. He worked a bases-loaded walk to force Stan Dinkel in for a second inning run and then tripled in the sixth to drive Dewey Percival across. The weather condition that we were speaking about ...

70 years ago, on July 20, 1939, it was a wild struggle in the feature softball game at Recreation Park with everything happening for seven innings, but after the smoke had cleared away, the Valley Brew team from Stockton held a win over the Manteca Honeydews by the score of 11 to 10.
TURLOCK - Led by seven high-point winners, including an impressive 1-2-3 sweep in the 6-under girls division, the Ripon Sea Lions dominated in claiming the Mid-Valley Swim League Championships title Saturday at Pitman High.
Matthew Guerrero hits the books harder than he does his opponents.
Ninety years ago, on July 14, 1919, if Manteca could always have a ball game like the one they had today, they would all seem to be qualified as foot racers. They made only 16 runs in the game with Hughson while their opponents got four. From the score it was evident that it was not a big league game but there was a lot of good ball playing, after all, and the circulating of bases kept the crowd in a state of pleasure, that is, the Manteca crowd. Hughson protested the game because Manager J. J. Napier used some ...

Get ready for a load of fun in the sun with this collection of performance grade tricots! If you're in search of the perfect bathing suit material, tricot is the fabric for you. A tricot is a very thin/smooth textured knit consisting of fine or single yarns which form vertical whales on the surface and crosswise ribs on the back; thus resulting in a run-resistant knit. Tricots are often used for the construction of swimwear, underwear, sportswear and gloves. Unlike other tricots, this knit comes complete with higher compression capabilites great for activewear used in cycling, running and compression sleeves. With a remarkable amount of 4-way stretch and a matte finish, curves are no match for the elasticity of this high performance tricot. Surfs up!
Note: This material weighs 200gsm.
Color: Black
Width: 58/60"
Content: 80% NYLON, 20% SPANDEX
Industry Weight: 5.60 oz/yd
Learn about fabric careHOW TO CARE FOR NYLON FABRICS: Most items made from nylon can be machined washed and tumbled dried at low temperatures. To minimize static electricity use a dryer sheet when machine drying. If ironing is needed, iron on a low temperature.Mood strongly recommends test-laundering a swatch, if you plan to wash your garment or home furnishings yourself.
PLEASE NOTE: The above numbers are estimations only. Please take into account garment size, lining and fabric width.

This young lady's got some great concepts for Star Trek: *Glee-chan's Star Trek Gallery
Not bad. Might make an interesting series.
I agree Star Trek and Anime/Manga go together like PB/J sandwhichs
very nice
Star Trek and anime/manga would go great together...
Just watch out for the alien villains with tentacles...
Ya- except for the pics of most of the "women" who look like little girls. Especially the one where the "woman" is touching the other "woman's" underware is bordering on pedophilia... Because the fucker who drew it made them look like little girls.
I wouldn't call that proof. It's pretty flat and generic.
Welcome to the wacky world of Manga. I dont think she's a kiddie toucher because she draws in the long established anime style. I'm not sure it sits well with Trek though, as with most anime it seems more concerned with showing flashes of cute chics panties than with much else. I'm not saying I dont like it, just that it's not really in line with serious galactic exploration and defence. The girl that draws these just happens to be a hot young asian girl herself, in case no one looked at her pictures section.
Have you watched very much anime? The "pantsu" catagory of anime is only a very small part of the world of anime. If you want some great anime series to watch, try Legend of Galactic Heroes, Crest/Banner of the Stars, Space Battleship Yamato, Captain Harlock (he gives Jim Kirk a run for the most awesome captain title), any of the Macross franchise; save for Macross Frontier or any of the UC timeline Gundam series, if your into mecha. these are all great series with little or no panty action and great plots, particularly Legend of Galactic heroes.
I have the Macross box set, some Appleseed and am trying to get a hold of the latest Yamato. I grew up with 'Battle of the Planets' (called something else everywhere else) blowing everything else out of the water in terms of future design and plot. I've never heard the 'pantsu' term though, but she's definitely closer to that big eye/small mouth stuff than your average mech fest.
Considering all of the 'pantsu' that went on in TOS, and the flash of pantsu in the movie (Kirk & Uhura), I wouldn't be bitching too much about anime doing it.
I would suggest that Star Trek become anime, or have something to do with anime as soon as possible, just to get young people like this artist; most of us aren't getting any younger, and if this is to be kept a viable franchise, it needs new blood-which anime/manga fandom has in spades.
I'm all for new fans coming into scifi in general and Trek in particular. I watched the Flare forums and a couple of other Trek places wither away to almost nothing through lack of interest, then when the new movie came along they proceeded to shoot themselves in the foot by denying its existence and abusing anyone who watched it. A new set of fans and renewed interest in the originals can only be good, no matter what you think of the JJ movie. If anime helps, so be it. I just hope it's not in the cutesy style is all.
Pantsu is the Japanese word for panties. Battle of the Planets was called G-Force on the TV station that aired it where I grew up and your right, it was miles ahead of the American cartoons of its day. If you get the chance find the original un-Americanized series, the original title is Super Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, it blows the American version away and is significantly different in many details. I always wanted to see ST:TAS redone by Shoji Kawamori and Studio Nu, but that won't probably ever happen and I can't really see any anime studio getting the rights to do a Star Trek anime. Nice to imagine though.
-Mr. Lucas voice- Glass of water for Patrickivan.
This stuff is awesome, The Castellan approves!
I'm liking the Tamura drawing.
and the Janeway Grope
-Eric Idol voice- New and improved NCC-1507 is a sleek, sexy import, with turbo handling!
I'm sure we might see some snipets....like the guy who did that KICKASS anime of Dr. Who with the 3rd Doctor. Daleks in anime form looked slick.
Aye... the anime style is fun for a bit, but after looking at a few examples, it gets really old and tired, because so much of anime is so horribly unoriginal. It's all a repetition of the same theme... small figures with massive cutesy eyes, and no mouth, except for when they're shouting, when the mouthes are also ridiculously big, and strange shapes and colors of hair, and young girls with breasts the size of basketballs. Guess anime style just isn't my thing, lol.
Better it be anime than Hannah Barbara style....90% of everything would not even be moving.
I'll watch a Star Trek movie done by Studio Ghibli though.
that would be pretty awesome. doubly so if porco makes a cameo as the tellarite captain of the USS Adriatic.
OF COURSE Daleks in anime form look slick. That's because when you open up the Salt Shaker Armor they're in...
(Dramatic Pause...)

- Steel ATX Mid Tower
- 5 x 120mm Green Fans pre-installed
- 2x USB2.0: 1x USB3.0; 2x I/O ports
- Integrated 3 channel fan speed controller
- Full Top/Front mesh cover
- Screw-less design for 5.25"/3.5" HDD
Great tower! 12/21/2013
This review is from: DIYPC Adventurer-9601G Black/Green Steel Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with 5 x 120mm Green Fan and 1 x USB3.0
5 120 mm. fans. Cool green LED color scheme. Good Airflow. Toolless design. Enough room for my build.
As many other reviews has this is not a full tower. I had seen this in other reviews and so was aware of this when I bought it. I was still surprised though when I got it how much smaller than a full this tower is. this tower is barely bigger than a mid. I mean like 1" taller and wider than the mid tower that it replaced. It should be labeled a mid tower not a full tower.
Other Thoughts:
I only gave it 4 eggs due to it being advertised as a full tower but is closer to a mid. I am actually happy with the size of it as I already had a full tower and didn't want another one quite that large, but needed more space than the mid I had offered. I have a cooler master TPC 812 cooler on my fx 8350 and I couldn't put the side panel of my mid tower on, this I can, although just barely. So if you are looking for a tower with just a bit more space than a mid, but do not want a full, this is a good option. If you want a true full tower do not get this.
Did you find this review helpful? Yes / No Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

I keep having the same dream over and over again that i will one day become a famous Hollywood Photographer/director. i go to school by catching the bus that goes out the three mile road and it stops int Fantasia street to pick Dylan,Feli,Tylah,Kathy and i up or some days i get a lift with one of my best friends Lynn, Lynn is the school counciler she has helped me with most of my disabilitys such as asbergers,ADHD,ADD, but with all my disabilitys my mum just calles me the A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P-Q-R-S-T-U-V-W-X-Y-Z boy i laugh cos i know shes only joking. and guess what 2012 has been my first year in high school,well honestly i think injoy primary school while you can kids because you guys get it all easy but as soon as you get to high school they dont go easy anymore,well its not all that bad i mean it is a lot and I mean alot harder than primary,but the way I look at it is its your chance to get all your high school certifacates and papers to get your life and education. Today is the 3rd of november 2012 at 3:01 PM but at this time I just realised that school is the only place anyone can get a life,job,house,car or anything.

Im actually starting real early. A couple friends and I are planning on a elk hunting trip in 2010. Im starting to look at the statistic and try to narrow down where we want to go. The plan is to do an otc rifle bull hunt. Im kinda confused though...do the units that offer otc tags stay the same every year? and is it possible to get either a cow tag also or an either sex tag otc? I would love to get some antlers but I would hate to only be limited to bull(I really want to put meat in the freezer). Most likely we will be hiking in several miles and doing a remote camp hunt. I looked into several drop camps but they are all over 1000 per person and thats a little much for us.
So if you have any suggestions on where to start that would be great.

I decided to use my waffle iron instead of the oven because it's really hot outside, and they turned out great. Splurged and put some powdered sugar on top. I know it's supposed to be healthy, but I thought the recipe needed maybe 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Will make again! Thanks!
Thank you for this recipe! I won't mind eating low fat and low sugar if I can have banana bread on occasion!
Replaced 4 eggs with sour cream and yogurt to reduce fat (low fat sour cream and 0% greek yogurt).
Also added 1 1/3 up choc chips (doubled batch)
Baked in 3 9 X 5 pans for 50 minutes--perfect!

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
10 650 is a combination of hydrocodone and
. It can come in varied doses but is used every 4 to 6 hours.
It would be best not to use it more frequently than the 4 to 6 hour spacing to avoid any side effects. The hydrocodone is at the maximum dose but the acetaminophen can go up to 750mg. Your doctor may consider either using a higher strength of this combination drug or adding another pain killer from a different family to have an additive effect.
I hope this helps

Personal Injury at Work Claims
Have you suffered an injury at work in the last three years?
If so then you could be entitled to claim compensation against your employer.
This website provides a wealth of information and legal advice to help you in your search for legal consultation and will help you strengthen your claim for compensation if you have suffered an injury at work. There is extensive information on the following:
- No win no fee – what situations qualify for this type of legal arrangement
- Legal advice – the range of legal services that provide legal consultation including free and expensive
- Negligence in the workplace – the important in maintaining professional standards in the work environment
- Accident injury solicitor – how a specialist accident or injury solicitor will enable you to win compensation
Hazardous Work Environments
It is pertinent to account for the different types of work environments and the accidents which may occur in them. Construction sites can be dangerous places, and it is necessary that the employee take the correct precautions when on site. Offices can also be dangerous places, with newly cleaned hard floors making a slip a common occurrence in the standard office building.
The UK and EU law is set out to protect employees from unsafe working practices. Regulations are detailed outlining the employer's responsibility to provide employees with a risk free environment at work, this includes:
- Providing any training appropriate to the job
- Providing any necessary protective gear
- Keeping the workplace free of hazards, equipment properly maintained etc
- Ensuring other staff do not pose a risk to those around them
This applies to any workplace in the country, whether it's an office or a construction site. Employers who neglect this responsibility will be found liable to pay compensation to anyone injured as a result of this. Employers have insurance to cover any payouts, and it is your legal right to make a claim for any injury caused by another's negligence.
Accident claims can cover any financial losses associated with the injury, such as medical expenses, as well as compensation for the pain and suffering any personal injury may have inflicted.
Make sure outdated policies are changed for the better
Claiming for a workplace accident is about getting you the compensation you deserve and ensuring that more care is taken in future to prevent similar oversights. Make sure outdated policies are changed for the better through a legitimate claim today through our Personal Injury Solicitors.
Obtaining the services of a qualified personal injury solicitor is the best way to go about making your claim; they will work hard to ensure that you receive the maximum possible compensation with the minimum amount of stress.
The amount of compensation you will receive depends on the part of your body that was injured and the severity of the injury. The following examples are estimates and are the optimum level of compensation that you are likely to receive:
- For a fractured finger that recovers in a matter of weeks you will receive no more that £1,750
- For a frozen shoulder you will receive no more than £6,000
- For serious hand injuries you could receive up to £7,750
- For leg injuries you may receive no more than £13,000
- For back injuries you will receive no more than £21,500
- If you lose the function of your wrist you may receive up to £33,000
- In a severe foot accident you might receive up to £37,000
It is possible to calculate the amount of compensation you receive through various online websites. However, these are never an accurate reflection of the compensation that you actually will receive.
If you want an accurate projection you should seek legal advice from a solicitor who is experienced in dealing with compensation claims. A solicitor will also provide legal advice and offer a range of services.

~Annie & Greg Witkamp
In 2001, I (Annie) was a full time student and full time CVS Pharmacy employee. My first two years of college consisted of living at home while being a cashier/pharmacy tech/supervisor. I took evening and summer classes and sometimes, if I worked overtime during the week, I could take a day to visit friends at other universities. I was not a content person because I was the type whose biggest dream was to leave where I grew up. But it didn't work out. Friends came home some weekends and let me know exactly what I was missing out on.
I transferred from that community college (IPFW) in 2003 to Purdue University's main campus in West Lafayette, Indiana, starting there as a junior. After my prereq courses at IPFW were finished, I decided to move on. I became focused on changing specialities within my field, from therapy to industrial organizational psychology. I thought there was more to learn at the other campus and I obviously really wanted a change of scenery.
Greg is 2 years younger than me. He started at Purdue University's main campus as a freshman in 2002. He started a double major in chemistry and chemical engineering then had a change of heart as a junior and switched to wood product manufacturing technology. It was a bold move and his new degree had only 8 people at a school of 30,000ish.
I worked as a tutor in an elementary school my junior year, a work study program that matched what I made as a scholarship. Greg eventually worked as a research assistant in the wood lab and helped a luthier build bass guitars. (He also played trumpet in the marching band. So cute.)
He was a hobby woodworker on the weekends he came home from college and over summers. He spent a good amount of time in his dad's wood shop. I helped him pick finishes and assisted him with the aesthetic aspect. There was and is nothing better for me than being by his side creating something. He's the kind of guy that decides he wants a desk and he jumps to building one for himself. His honesty and straightforward personality, along with his humor and handsome, cute self did me in. He was a constant in my life when people were carelessly going in and out. He's an all-around great human being, no one like him.
We officially began dating in late 2002. A year and a month later he proposed, Christmas Day, and that began what was almost a 5 year engagement.
We'll skip ahead out of the fun times before you're actually functioning as a full adult.
I spent a year doing social work, starting in 2006, after graduating with a bachelor's degree in psychology and OLS minor while Greg finished his B.S. in 2007.
I decided to look for a job that required my degree, knowing it would not be the area I truly enjoyed until I furthered my education to master's level. I wanted to gain experience and go back for I/O Psy a few years later. I found a position as a school-based case manager for a nonprofit. Social worker to most. I later found myself drawn to the therapy portion of the field once again. Bringing my clients to their appointed therapist, with whom they had a deep connection with, someone besides me, seemed fulfilling for everyone. The nonprofit had a program where they would pay for my master's in therapy while I worked for them and took courses on my own time. That became the plan. Until Greg graduated and the economy took a turn, jobs were hard to find period so…
We found ourselves back in northeast Indiana in 2007 to help Greg's family business. We agreed we'd push to find Greg a job (he had the potential to make 2 or 3 times my social work salary) elsewhere and wherever we landed, I'd pick up where I left off and earn a much needed masters.
There was a time before this where we were going to move to a small town on the Illinois/Indiana line because the luthier wanted to go full time making bass guitars. We toured this beautiful, old library the luthier and his wife put an offer on-the top being the business portion and the basement being where Greg and I would live (it was open with windows and pretty cool). The town just happened to have a branch of the nonprofit hospital I worked for AND my office pal had been promoted to run parts of the facility which seemed like things were lining up for us in what was the confusing "live with friends and figure it out" time post-college. Then, over the span of a few days, the luthier decided to go back to his old career, programming, giving up bass building. He paid Greg his final check and everything crumbled for the two of us. I did not want to go back where we came from, but I understood Greg's wanting to help his family, so I left my job to help the family businesses in the Fort Wayne, Indiana area.
Greg's dad was self-employed with a construction business and his mom was a real estate agent. Greg grew up in this world of building homes and maintaining rental properties while I joined them in college when I started dating Greg. I helped in his mom's office, ran personal errands for their big family, and did what I could to help his contractor dad. Sadly both businesses later closed when the economy further struggled.
While there, we continued looking for jobs anywhere in the United States within our degree fields. We wanted to experience life outside of Indiana. The two of us lived with a friend most of the year we were there…can't say I recommend it for that long. Let's just say when you're paying someone enough to cover their mortgage (even though he wasn't paying his mortgage) and utilities (even though you aren't allowed to turn on the heat and sleep in a room that was about 55 degrees) and that person stops buying their own groceries to eat what you buy, and then that person leases a new car, you might want to get out of the situation. Eventually Greg's parents offered to let us stay in their rental trailer, so we took them up on it. (Fun fact: I lived in a doublewide trailer for a good portion of my young life, until my parents built our home. I was no stranger to the Midwest's crazy weather with its tornado warnings and fearing your house would blow away. Now I don't have those worries.)
After a few months back home, I found a potential job for Greg in Eugene, Oregon. He flew out and was offered the job then went back out later to help on a few projects. After 8 months, the job fell through when the father/son business ultimately did not function as a team, self-destructing the business. Greg was caught in the middle of this mess, one he didn't know he had stepped into 8 months before. It broke our hearts and we found ourselves starting the job search all over again.
However, we'd fallen in love with the Pacific Northwest and vowed to move there. We made a plan and began the path to this goal. It took about 7 years.
Instead of the PNW in 2008, we moved to Minnesota after Greg was hired by a company that makes custom commercial furniture. We weren't in a position to keep job searching due to student loan debt and finances in general, so we made it work.
Our first few years in Minnesota were spent going stircrazy in apartments until we were in the position to buy a house. As soon as we moved into our first floor, one bedroom apartment, I began contacting social work agencies/nonprofits within a 30 mile radius. I wanted to join the program I was told most agencies have throughout the United States by my last employer, one that pays for your masters while you work there. I was told one by one that those agencies did not have such a thing. I was even laughed at during a phone conversation with one of the agencies. I started contacting school corporations and any other offices I recalled being involved in the team that is social work. Worse yet, although in Indiana (in those days) you could work using a B.A. in psychology, others areas did not allow it within the field of social work. Not only was I not going to start that program, I didn't have any potential jobs to do and absolutely no room to go back to school on our own dime.
I went down a rabbit hole, folks. I was thankful Greg had a job within his degree field and it paid the bills (not much else), but found myself disenchanted. We are partners and he was happy in his job. That makes a world of difference. We are connected in all aspects of life and his career became a branch that helped me…which probably also helped make up who we are today, a pretty great team.
While I worked towards coming out of my depression, I started my food blog, the Dabble, with the hope of connecting with others and improving my culinary skills. And I did both, I think. I found like-minded individuals who support one another, even though most of us have never met. I learned quite a bit about the beautiful/ugly world of maintaining/designing a website. I also found my voice and an outlet.
I worked odd jobs and we continued to live on a tight budget. I don't think there was a time before then that we didn't. Our families are not "well off." Our work ethic stems from this background. We come from a long line of determined souls building the kind of lives they want on their terms.
Beyond jobs not worth mentioning, I wrote for a local home decor publication (multi-page spread of my recipes and general food talk), companies sent me cookbooks, cookware and gadgets to review, highly respected food enthusiast sites used some of my material, and I continued doing what I did in college to make a little money-selling decor, housewares, whatever was of interest to me from garage sales, flea markets, estate sales and such on ebay, etsy and craigslist. In those days you could sell things on Amazon (ebay too), things people put in their garage sales for a nickel, and you could do pretty well with all of the listings. It paid for groceries in college and helped us a bit through those times of struggle. Little did I know that this hobby would turn into a career, a career that blossomed other passions which, in turn, became careers.
I also sold ad space on my site for a little monthly dough. I really got into photography…despite the lack of decent photos here (ha). I sold a few photos, had others highlighted by reputable sources like NPR, the city we lived in used my photo as the header of their website for the last 4 years, a trip to visit my sis-in-law at college prompted a photoshoot and the school, Indiana University, used my fountain shot for their handbook, and things along that line. More doors opened when we started refurbishing furniture. We had a long client list from the very beginning, after our 2 "example" pieces were finished. I highlighted those pieces at the beginning of this blog and we've grown into who we are today. Greg and I have been asked to a few exhibits and events, highlighted by respectable bloggers, and our DIY home reno and design has had its fair share of attention too. I'm getting ahead of myself…
In 2010, while in an apartment with a basic garage, we started refurbishing furniture we found on craigslist and at garage sales. It fit our hobbies and I was happy to get my creative ideas out there. The garage didn't have water or power and we could only work in there during the 4 or 5 months Minnesota wasn't cold. We weren't in that apartment long before we bought our first house, though.
Feedback was positive and motivating. This opened up a new world and calling in our lives. I put my full time efforts into the business and started this site, while Greg did what he could after his day job, designing restaurant seating and making the manufacturing process more efficient.
After a long search and approval process for an FHA loan, where we could put very little down, we found our first home in 2011. The two of us spent our free time doing its remodel and refurbishing furniture, going less toward client work and more toward our own heart's desire. We had most of our guests help us with a few projects during their visits. Yes, we are the kind of people who put you to work when you visit. (Thank you again family and friends!) Our furniture refurbishing funded most of the home improvements and we did/do 95% of the work ourselves which, of course, saves a lot of money.
After a year in the house, Greg's company purchased its competitor and with that came a company in Washington. It was beyond awesome and the next step we needed to achieve the vow we made 5 years earlier to make it to the Pacific Northwest. We asked to be transferred and for a year to finish the house-they agreed!
We put the house on the market in late 2014. A buyer came along in less than 24 hours! We took that as a sign we had designed a pretty darn good home. We paid off some debt and saved the rest of the profit for our next house. After a trip to visit family in Indiana, in the wrong direction, the four of us, our two pups included, packed a few things and drove 4 days across the U.S until we landed in a suburb of Seattle.
The trip was something you can't put into words. We love to travel, but have had problems doing so with our budget. This late fall trip was full of beautiful landscapes, Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone, and stops in well-known cities (Deadwood, SD, Missoula, MT, Coeur d'Alene, ID, Leavenworth, WA being a few). We took the northern route, just before Steven's Pass would be difficult to cross, and quickly came into our new world-a rather busy and heavily populated area. As two people who grew up in rural settings, it still takes some getting used to to this day. (Eventually we'd like to move to a less populated area where the landscape takes our breath away every single day.)
We spent 5 months in a rental while we searched for a house, learning more about real estate out here, a truly different experience from the Midwest. We saw a lot of houses in need of help, many beyond what we were looking for and able to afford remodel-wise. We ended up farther south of Seattle than we'd hoped, but think we got a terrific 1949 home with potential. (It took a little time to get over the fact that we could have purchased 2 or 3 houses in the Midwest for the price of this home.)
The plan is to finish this 1949 home by fall 2017 and take another step towards our dreams of being fully self-employed, designing our own line of heirloom quality furniture and remodeling multiple homes at once.
