After the miserable difficulties of early last week, I managed to end the week on a high note.I had to teach two MS classes Friday because one was rescheduled from the previous day that I spent in Guangzhou at the US Consulate. Teaching the same lesson twice for an hour and a half each can be frustrating, but these two groups of students made it bearable.In the second class, I had a few students w
Students are amazing creatures. Over the past year I've had some interesting encounters with mine--including a PhD candidate who originally thought the class was worthless because his English was good enough, but stayed in class because he found it useful (and his English ability was impressive). But, for every student that impresses me, there will be some that disappoint.I only failed two student
In 1995, Jim Erhark of Rockford, Illinois, tired of long commutes and long, windy winters, visited Cancun and the Mexican Caribbean. During his stay, he befriended a “real estate guy” who showed him a beautiful home on Nichupte Lagoon, for what Jim considered a steal in the post-devaluation Mexican economy. He took the proceeds from a [...]
Funny thing about life.It includes lots of learning.Sometimes it's fun learning.Sometimes it's painful learning.There are even times, as a Bible believing Christian, that I have to UNlearn some things.When I became a wife, I had a lot to learn. Still learning.When I became a mom, I had a WHOLE lot to learn. Still learning.Everyday I am learning.Hence my blog's name.....Tripping Around the Sun.Ever
When we brought Sean home from the hospital, like any new mother, I spent a lot of time just marveling over what an amazing creature he was — his tiny fingers, his itty bitty tongue, that he could pee into his own ear.
Seriously.
I don’t know why I’m bringing this up now, but recently it came [...]

Yesterday's News-Enterprise reviews 3 (of the 6) resume indescretions on Barbara Erwin's application and asks why teachers appear unconcerned?This from the News-Enterprise.Maybe we’re wrong in our assumption that Kentuckians are apathetic about the quality and credibility of the individual who is charged with improving the quality of Kentucky’s education system. If so, where is the public outcry?Why has leadership within the Kentucky Education Association simply stated they are giving Erwin “the benefit of the doubt” that her resume accurately reflects her experience, credentials and accomplishments?Why aren’t teachers, parents and taxpayers asking Erwin to publicly provide an explanation and answers to the questions surrounding her resume, maybe the same ones that apparently “satisfied” Chairman Keith Travis and the other members of the Kentucky Board of Education.Why haven’t superintendents and school board members across the commonwealth at least asked for a review
What could be a learning curve on MSN in terms of SEO? I have also ask this especially on where will I start on doing SEO on MSN. It is difficult to find out as a newbie in the field of search engine optimization. So taking into the area on SEO, the good thing you want to check even for other search engine is to search for a particular key phrase or keyword and check the sites on the first pages on their search result.
That is the first thing to do, because no one knows, unless you are of MSN search team, the algorithm behind their search engine. The rankings seems very difficult to determine. Oh, by the way, maybe you will be also interested on some search engine operators like site: link:(which unfortunately MSN disabled this feature), I will try to post some search engine operators on my next post.
Okay we go back to the topic, observe the contents, title, description and excerpt of the sites listed on the first page. You will compare this elements versus your chosen key phrase or k
Another valuable lesson I've learned is that no matter how smart you think you are there is always something to learn. I've met horse people throughout the years and most share that same philosophy, but there are always a few that know it all and feel it necessary to share their advice (opinion) with you whether or not you're asking for it. I've learned that for the most part those people really don't know any more than you do. They just believe that they do. Of course I never fail to see my own short-comings and gladly welcome advice from those horse people that are truly experienced and knowledgeable because I'm always ready to learn more.Please visit http://midwesthorse.blogspot.com/index.html
