Power base: Getting to know your circuit breaker
We've all been there. Your wife is blow-drying her hair, your daughter is ironing a shirt and your son decides to fire up the Xbox for the few remaining minutes he has before leaving for school. And you decide you want a piece of toast.
You pop in the bread, push down the handle and then the undeniable silence that signifies all things in your home have come to a halt.
Sure, you blame the toaster and curse your house, but the tripped circuit that just shut down your power is just doing its job.
Dave Borowski, spokesperson for Direct Energy, says the circuit breaker's sole responsibility is to protect the electrical wiring in your house and to keep you safe.
"Sure, it can be annoying, but it's designed to help protect you and your home," he says.
That protection occurs when the wires in your house – or the wires in a particular zone in your house – are overloaded with electrical current, causing them to heat up. Instead of transferring that heat to the appliances and electronic items plugged into your outlets, causing them to burn out and potentially resulting in a fire, the circuit breaker trips, shutting off the electricity to the entire house or to that select zone at its distribution point.
Circuit Breakers and Power Failure
It's important to remember that it's not the number of appliances that cause your power to stop. Instead, it's the size of the wires in your walls.
"You might think that the amount of appliances themselves on that circuit cause the problem but it's the wiring in the walls that overheats," says Borowski. "The only thing that keeps those wires from bursting into flames when they overload is that circuit breaker."
The occasional tripped circuit or blown fuse can be more than an annoyance, according to Borowski. In fact, it can be dangerous.
"When your circuit breaker trips, you should take it as a sign that there's something wrong," Borowski says. "You want to call a professional and find out why it tripped. Electricity is a great servant, but it can cause injury or death if you don't treat it with respect."
Borowski says it could be as simple as a bad breaker, but it could be something much more serious, which only a qualified electrician would be able to evaluate.
"Whenever it happens, it's an indication that your entire electrical system needs an inspection," he says.
Inside each circuit breaker, a spring is hooked over a small piece of solder, a melt-able fusible alloy. Each breaker is connected to an electrical wire that runs through your house. The electricity that flows through your house runs through the solder. When the connected wiring is at risk of overheating, the solder melts, resulting in the spring extending through the solder, pulling the switch off and shutting down that particular circuit. When the alloy cools down, it can be reset. A fuse works on a similar premise, but instead of a spring, the melt-able metal is the bridge itself. When overheated, it melts and permanently opens. Fuses must be replaced while circuit breakers can be switched back to an "on" position.
And despite what you may think – yes, that circuit breaker box looks simple because you see it every day in your laundry room. No, it's not as easy to operate as your dryer – the numerous wires, breakers and voltage offerings in your breaker can cause real harm if you try to tinker around with them, especially if you're intent on creating a workaround for breakers that trip often.
"Some people think they can bypass or override their breakers by jerry-rigging up their own system," says Borowski. "That's completely dangerous.
Borowski says breakers typically last 10 years, although heat, power surges, brown outs, corrosion, frequent lightning storms and other factors can take their toll, shortening their life expectancy, all the more reason to have the panel checked by a professional.
Get grounded
It's also important to make sure your home's electrical system is grounded, which allows electricity to cycle through the wiring in your house, through the appliances and back to a safe location where it is dissipated into the ground.
Many older homes are grounded to the water pipe, which Borowski says is an unsafe and unreliable option.
"Older homes are grounded to the copper or galvanized pipe you're getting water out of from your city connection, which is properly grounded in its original installation. But the day a plumber cuts the line and puts in a plastic fitting somewhere in your house, or if the city changes the meter and puts in a dielectric fitting, which prevents the flow of electricity, you're no longer grounded. Your electrical flow stops at the plastic connection," he says. "If you want your unit properly grounded, you run a ground wire that goes all the way into the ground and to the side of your house into a grounding rod that's driven about 10 feet into the ground. You're taking all the power to ground."
Ultimately, Borowski says homeowners should engage in the do-it-yourself projects that interest them, but that they should leave any electrical work to the experts.
"You want to change a light bulb? You bet. But don't mess with things that could impact your family's safety," he says. "You want to be able to go to bed at night and know your house is safe."

Kayaker nabbed with pot
The officer in charge of the "Eye in the Sky" border surveillance cameras noticed an unusual disturbance late last Monday night in Semiahoo Bay that ultimately led to an arrest of a Canadian man in possession of over 100 pounds of B.C. Bud.
According to the Border Patrol's Blaine sector deputy chief Joe Giuliano, cameras picked up what turned out to be splashes from a kayaker's paddle a few miles offshore, "and we were able to project his landing point to be the shoreline near Semiahmoo Resort, by the old APA commissary building," Giuliano said.
Officers were in place by the time the kayaker arrived, shortly before midnight, and waited for him to unload two large duffel bags on the beach. "The officers walked up and introduced themselves," Giuliano continued, "whereupon the man took off and jumped into Drayton Harbor. But when he was advised that he'd picked a body of water that was just a small bay, and that it was surrounded with Border Patrol agents, he gave himself up."
Giuliano said the man, a Canadian in his 40's, was taken into custody.

"A device that carries on innovation and practical usability."I've been using this device for a month now, and I happy to say that I am in love with it. Seriously speaking the first time I saw it and its older brother(Note 1) I said 'who buys these?' and didnt like it at all. I was all in for the nexus 4. And this was before I got my hands on it. Yes, the device is big but its so because of reasons. If you'd want a smaller device you can get the S3. The Note2 has its faults, its not perfect but its one of the best devices out there.
For instance its too big to use with one hand(I can, coz i have big hands :)) Its god physical buttons which I think should be left out for newer devices. Its made of plastic.
But on the plus side its got loads of innovation. SPen feels revolutionary. The nifty S-Package features like direct call, stay, awake and the whole gamut. Good security, and radios on the device. (Never dropped a call.)
Simply said, some may like it some may not. But before coming to any conclusions you should first try using it for a while. I know you'll like it.

Slow Art Day is a worldwide event based on a simple idea: Go to a museum; look at some art. Slowly. The organizers of Slow Art Day recommend spending a minimum of five minutes observing each piece on display on Saturday, April 28. This should be an easy task at the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts (3716 Washington Boulevard; 314-754-1850 or www.pulitzerarts.org). Its current exhibition, In the Still Epiphany, contains 40 selections from the unbelievable private collection of Emily and Joseph Pulitzer Jr., each one selected by installation artist Gedi Sibony, who staged the works throughout the gallery for maximum impact. Even those whose art-staring experience is limited to Magic Eye posters should have no problem devoting undivided attention to Epiphany. Take your time — how often are you granted the opportunity to view works by the likes of Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Pierre Bonnard and John Singer Sargent in the flesh? — Ryan Wasoba
Currents: Chelsea Knight
Chelsea Knight In this two-part body of work — the latest installment of SLAM's Currents series — New York-based artist Chelsea Knight (recipient of a 2012-13 Freund Teaching Fellowship at Washington U.) explores language's capacity to define power structures, gender roles and other mechanisms of cultural stratification. In the 2010 video The End of All Resistance, a series of duos — male soldiers, young actresses, a middle-aged married couple — carry out military-style interrogations, demanding information ("What insurgent organization are you in?" etc.) over and over in different tones: whispering, shouting, singing. Inherently elastic, language can shape-shift at the speed of sound, from bland to erotic, evocative to somnolent, conciliatory to threatening. It's among the most volatile of human constructs, and slippery. The central aspect of Frame, a multimedia installation crafted for this exhibit, is also a video. Construction workers (the bona fide variety) frame out a building while reciting from memory bits of feminist theory and modern poetry. The disjunctions are predictable — burly man in hardhat talking about the experience of the female body or waxing lyrical about childbirth — but the effect is anything but. Unlike the verbiage of torture manuals, poetry and (occasionally) theory are capable of linguistic elegance (i.e., beauty), in the face of which all conventional roles dissolve. The raptness with which the participants speak their lines hints at language's capacity to humanize — to encourage empathy, to broaden one's conscience, as opposed to simply tearing people apart. Through July 1 at the Saint Louis Art Museum, 1 Fine Arts Drive (in Forest Park); 314-721-0072 or www.slam.org. Hours: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tue.-Sun. (10 a.m.-9 p.m. Fri.) — Jessica Baran
An Orchestrated Vision: The Theater of Contemporary Photography
Focusing on large-scale contemporary photography, this show identifies a new, prevalent strain whose practitioners eschew traditional realism in favor of deliberate fabrication and snapshot immediacy in favor of meticulous manipulation. Divided into four sections — public spaces as theater; elusive narratives; portraiture as performance and constructed spaces — the exhibit inspects its theme with acuity, drawing several dozen expansive works into its discerning field of view. A woman standing in a driveway stares blankly into a lit domestic window in Untitled (snowy valley) (2006) by Gregory Crewdson; a spectacularly ravaged, abandoned theater in equally decimated Gary, Indiana, inverts the equation in a 2008 photograph by Andrew Moore. Figures are scarce here; when they do appear, they function as props or narrative prompts: static, manicured, pre-positioned. Seen from this perspective, it's space itself (as opposed to we who merely occupy it) that embodies endless dramatic potential. The suggestive stillness of these pieces highlights a curious contradiction: In the context of our spectacle-saturated culture, images rooted in the all-too-familiar tropes of popular entertainment (cinema, theater) are resolutely unspectacular, while those that depict a baldly contrived "reality" strike a salient emotional chord. Doubtless, at this very moment, someone in some distant (and cluttered) room is on the verge of untangling that mystery. We, meanwhile, must content ourselves with the knowledge that the mere act of looking closely is a surreal, creative feat. Through May 13 at the Saint Louis Art Museum, 1 Fine Arts Drive (in Forest Park); 314-721-0072 or www.slam.org. Hours: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tue.-Sun. (10 a.m.-9 p.m. Fri.) — Jessica Baran

Whenever a Silicon Valley company has a new product, the founders and backers always claim it's a breakthrough, game-changing technology. But sometimes what they really mean is it's faster or a bit cheaper. Those are good characteristics, but what really makes a product disruptive?
During some recent travel, I decided to crack open Clayton Christensen's book "The Innovator's Solution," a follow-up to his original work "The Innovator's Dilemma." Everyone in Silicon Valley has heard of Clayton Christensen, but I'm not sure everyone has taken his message to heart.
[ Keep up with the latest open source news with InfoWorld's open source newsletter and topic center. ]
The key idea in Christensen's work is to distinguish between sustaining innovations and disruptive innovations. Sustaining innovations are those that improve a product to appeal to the most demanding customers. These can be incremental improvements or breakthroughs. A disruptive innovation, on the other hand, is aimed at serving a market of new or less-demanding customers with a product that may be inferior, but simpler to use.
That's pretty close to the strategy we used at MySQL. Rather than compete head on with companies that were a thousand times our size, we focused on the underserved market of Web developers. We decided early on that MySQL would not compete on features; that was a battle we would never win. But we could compete on ease of use, performance, and cost, using a strategy of co-existence rather than replacement. A key element was to serve the underserved; for many developers, MySQL was their first database. Other database companies that tried to "out-Oracle Oracle" largely failed, whether they were open source or not.
Christensen posits a set of questions that act as a litmus test on disruption:

IAI brings 'attitude' to AEW
When Singapore revealed that it had chosen the Gulfstream G550 business jet as its new AEW platform last April, Northrop Grumman officials were reportedly shocked. They had every confidence that the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) would select the E-2D, an upgraded version of the Hawkeye twin turboprop that had served the RSAF well for nearly 20 years.
"The G550-AEW with its high operating altitude of 41,000 feet enjoys an unhindered radar detection of more than 200 nautical miles," noted Singapore Minister for Defence Teo Chee Hean when he announced the choice. That is not the full story, though. Singapore will receive four examples of the G550 after modification by IAI Elta Systems into the Conformal Airborne Early Warning & Control (CAEW) system. Four similar aircraft are now entering full service with the Israel Air Force, where they are known as the Eitam (Fish Eagle).
At a recent conference in London, Avishai Izhakian, deputy general manager of IAI Elta's AEW Division, gave an aggressive briefing on the merits of the EL/W-2085 integrated sensor suite that forms the heart of the CAEW system. "We bring a different attitude, and considerable innovation. We do things in months that our competitors take years to develop," he claimed. These short development cycles have allowed Elta to take full advantage of the tremendous advance of electronics processing technology, which at the same time has provided significant reductions in weight and size, he added. "It's a very simple algorithm to transform kilograms into kilobytes," Izhakian said.
The CAEW system provides 360-degree coverage through two very large active arrays faired to each side of the fuselage, operating in L-band, plus smaller antennas in the nose and tail looking fore-and-aft, operating in S-band. The side-looking arrays generate most of the tracks; the shorter-range fore-and-aft lookers help maintain the track quality.
This is a unique configuration that Elta has been working toward for 25 years, starting with the Boeing 707-based Phalcon system that looked fore-and-aft only, and continuing with an Il-76 testbed. Izhakian noted that Elta has also developed "very advanced phased-array radar technology" for warships and air-surface missiles.

Norsemen, Bulls, and Finals, Oh My!
This week we had our Norsemen/Aurora concert, which was an extreme amount of fun, and I have some announcements for next year!
This week we had our Norsemen/Aurora concert, which was an extreme amount of fun, and I have some announcements for next year!
This week was a rather nice one after Easter, and I had some wonderful times with some great friends!
I'm going to take a look at what is going to be happening for the end of this semester and changes for the upcoming year.
I apologize for the lack of posting the past month, but boy has a lot happened! Here I will fill you in on some of the details of my past month of chaos.
This is the dreaded week where the research paper is due for Paideia, and although this last week was fun and relaxing, this is the time to fasten the seatbelt and pray for a safe trip!
So this weekend is the Band Dorian festival here on campus, and five of my friends from high school are here whom I got to see! Unfortunately earlier this week I've had a stressful time with my research.
This post may be a day late, but I've had a few changes to my lifestyle this week and needed some adjusting!
A fairly relaxed week while getting into gear for the semester. And a wonderful warm weather blast!
So I find myself at the start of Spring Semester here at Luther and have been keeping busy right from the get-go! I also have found myself involved with Luther's Mixed Martial Arts club~
Sorry about the late post! I was lucky enough to be busy this weekend but sadly didn't find adequate time to post.
Back from break and very excited for the rest of this J-term to play out!
As finals are over and I head home for break, I think of everything I've learned this semester.

Tonight features a whole new slate of games, and there are some good matchups. Here's our schedule, all times Eastern.
7:00 pm
Toronto Maple Leafs (16-12-2) at Buffalo Sabres (11-15-4)
Broadcast: SNET-O, MSG-B
Jess: Hmm I've gotta go with the Leafs again tonight.
Bryan: The Leafs might've played last night, but the Sabres are worse than the Bolts. Toronto SHOULD win this, but there's always the chance...nah I can't do it, Leafs win.
Debi: The Leafs won against the Tampa Bay Lightning, while the Sabres most recent win was over the very strong Montreal Canadiens. They are fighting for position in the standings, but the Sabres have home ice advantage. I gotta go with Buffalo.
Montreal Canadiens (19-5-5) at New York Islanders (13-13-3)
Broadcast: RDS, MSG PLUS
Jess: For some reason I want to call an upset here, though I don't know why. What have I got to lose? Isles.
Bryan: Yikes, back-to-back home games against the Habs and Pens?! I'm sorry for the Isles, but tonight and tomorrow probably won't be pretty.
Debi: What is it about the Isles that Montreal just can't seem to handle this year? They haven't managed to win even one of the games the two teams have played this year. This one is the third and final game. Can Montreal put it together enough to win tonight? I'm a little doubtful, given that they went to OT against the Sabres the other night. Eenie Meenie Miney Mo. Aw crap, I'll stick with the Habs.k
Florida Panthers (8-16-6) at New York Rangers (15-12-2)
Broadcast: FS-F, MSG
Jess: If the Rangers can't beat the Panthers at home, they're in more trouble than I thought.
Bryan: Rangers in a laugher, this one will be lopsided.
Debi: Poor Panthers. They just can't seem to get it together. The Rangers are having some difficulty as well, but seem to have found something in the past couple of games. I think they will keep it going tonight.
New Jersey Devils (13-11-6) at Carolina Hurricanes (15-12-2)
Broadcast: NHLN-US, MSG PLUS 2, FS-CR
Jess: Can I make my pick based on an either/or scenario? I'm going to say if Brodeur plays tonight the Devils win in a nail biter. If he doesn't, Hurricanes win in a yawner.
Bryan: I don't know if Brodeur is playing or not, but I still think the Canes can win this either way.
Debi: Gotta take the 'Canes for the series sweep.
7:30 pm
Boston Bruins (19-6-3) at Ottawa Senators (16-8-6)
Broadcast: NESN, SNET-E, TVA
Jess: This should be a really good game. I've gotta call it for the Sens, just because.
Bryan: Oh wow, easily my pick for game of the night! This is a tough pick, both teams are playing very well. I'm gonna take the Sens on home ice, but I can see this one going to OT.
Debi: Might be the game of the night. While Boston has won both of the previous two games this season, the last one took a shoot out. Ottawa has been plagued with injuries this year, yet have managed to find their way into the W column a lot more than anyone expected. Can they do it tonight? I'm betting on it.
8:00 pm
Washington Capitals (12-16-1) at Winnipeg Jets (16-12-2)
Broadcast: CSN-DC, TSN-JETS
Jess: Poor Caps. Jets win, but I think it could be a battle.
Bryan: Ready for more crazy scheduling? These two are right back at it in Winnipeg again tomorrow night! If the Kings and Coyotes are any indication, this could get pretty nasty. I gotta take the Jets to keep the Caps reeling.
Debi: Oh I so don't want to pick this game. The Caps won when the visited the Jets, and the Jets won when they visited the Caps. Every time I pick against the Jets, they win. But, they are hosting, sooooo...... ARGH!! We'll do eeny meeny again....Jets it is.
Calgary Flames (11-12-4) at Nashville Predators (11-13-6)
Broadcast: SNET-W, FS-TN
Jess: ooh this is going to be a great game! This could very well be a beautiful goalie battle - I'll probably want to catch some of this one between NCAA Basketball games. I think the Preds win but I'm not confident.
Bryan: Ruh-roh, do I side with my co-host or my Q sister? Rinne is probably going to be his usual shut em down self, and sorry Debi, but blood is thicker than water. I gotta go with the Preds.
Debi: Sometimes it is so very hard being a Flames fan. My only hope tonight is that new dad, Mikka Kiprusoff, will have some new found desire to win that will rub off on his teammates. I won't go against my Flames, but this isn't going to be a pushover the way the last meeting was.
10:00 pm
Vancouver Canucks (14-9-6) at Phoenix Coyotes(13-13-4)
Broadcast: SNET-P, FS-A
Jess: Ehhhmmm Coyotes are at home; I guess that seals it for me. Yotes.
Bryan: Neither team impresses me, but seeing the Canucks aren't playing this game in the comforts of home, I'm taking the Coyotes to win it.
Debi: Need I say?
10:30 pm
Dallas Stars (13-13-3) at Los Angeles Kings (17-10-2)
Broadcast: FS-SW, FS-W
Jess: Need *I* say?
Bryan: The Kings will be the ones shining tonight at Staples, the Stars will feel like they had ninja stars thrown at their heads.
Debi: Guilty or not, I still like the Kings better. Go Kings!
I don't know if any of tonight's games will be as exciting as the Ducks defeating the Blackhawks last night. Both of those teams have tonight off, but no doubt both are busy fueling up for the next game. If you aren't much of a basketball fan, I'm sure you can find some sports entertainment of the hockey variety tonight. Join us!

CULTURE DIGEST: MTV reality programs degrade women, study shows

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP) -- Only 24 percent of what women said about themselves on four of MTV's most popular reality shows was positive, according to an analysis by the Parents Television Council.
"Jersey Shore," "Real World," "Teen Mom 2" and "16 and Pregnant" constitute the most popular primetime MTV shows among children and teens ages 12 to 17, and researchers said the study suggests "a disturbingly unrealistic portrayal of 'reality' with harsh, demeaning, degrading and sexualized dialogue."
"After many years of pursuing equality for women, the findings of today's study suggest a glamorized but grossly distorted view of what it means to be feminine," Tim Winter, the council's president, said Dec. 7.
"Compared to men, women were far more denigrating to themselves and other females. With so much at stake, teen-targeted reality television is doing little more than 'empowering' young girls to be overly negative."
Studies have shown a connection between children's media consumption and their behavior, Winter said, and Nielsen data prove teens are "flocking to MTV to get their fix of 'reality' programming."
"With MTV reality 'stars' as celebrity role models, teens are learning that outlandish behavior is rewarded and that degrading, sexualized language is not only accepted, it is encouraged," Winter said.
The version of reality presented by MTV lacks positive or inspiring content, he added, and the study reveals a discouraging assessment of progress for both men and women.
"Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi recently told GQ Magazine that the positive material in Jersey Shore is edited out of the broadcast version by the producers, and the appearance is that the cast members drink and party more than they actually do," Winter said. "Reality television isn't reality by the time the videotape emerges from the edit room.
"The saddest commentary is how ultimately these media themes and images serve to paint a very vivid picture of low expectations. The fear of setting low expectations for young girls and boys is that they may fulfill them," Winter said. "Television doesn't just provide entertainment; it instructs teens how they should look, feel, talk and behave. It's time we gave them something valuable to emulate."

MACY'S FIRES EMPLOYEE OVER TRANSGENDER CUSTOMER -- A Macy's department store in San Antonio fired an employee because she advised a man dressed as a woman not to use the women's fitting rooms.
Natalie Johnson noticed the man walking out of the women's fitting rooms and told him not to go in again because the rooms were reserved for women, according to Liberty Counsel, which is representing Johnson in a lawsuit against Macy's.
Though the man was wearing makeup and women's clothing, he clearly was a man, Johnson said. He was accompanied by five people, and the group began arguing with Johnson, using expletives and noting that Macy's is LGBT-friendly.
Johnson, in turn, told the group that Macy's also protects against religious discrimination and her religious convictions would not allow her to permit a man to use the women's fitting rooms.
The store manager insisted that Johnson comply with LGBT policies or lose her job, and then she was fired.
"Macy's policy which allows men to use the women's dressing room is fraught with problems," Mathew Staver, Liberty Counsel's founder and chairman, said Dec. 5. "This policy will cause significant problems and will alienate the majority of Macy's customers. Macy's has essentially opened women's dressing rooms to every man. The LGBT agenda has become the theater of the absurd."
MD. ABORTION CLINICS TO BE SUPERVISED -- In a first since Maryland's abortion law was approved in 1992, the state's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has proposed rules for the supervision of abortion clinics.
The regulations will place upon surgical abortion clinics requirements similar to those imposed now upon outpatient surgery centers, according to The Baltimore Sun.
The proposed rules, presented Dec. 2, will enable the health department to inspect and otherwise supervise abortion clinics. The rules include the following requirements:
-- Anesthesia must be administered by a qualified physician or nurse.
-- Personnel and equipment for life support must be present.
-- Clinics must apply for a license costing $1,500 every three years.
The department received input from both pro-life and pro-choice advocates, The Sun reported.
"I think the department has done an outstanding job at putting the health and safety of women first in these regulations," Nancy Paltell of the Maryland Catholic Conference said, according to the newspaper.
MAN ARRESTED FOR MURDER OF WOMAN WHO REFUSED ABORTION -- A Houston man has been charged with capital murder in the death of a pregnant woman who appeared to be the mother of his child, whom she refused to abort.
Joseph Devia, 19, was arrested Dec. 7 in Chicago at the request of Houston police, the Houston Chronicle reported. Devia had enlisted in the Navy and was in boot camp when he was arrested.
Devia was charged with murder in the August 2010 death of Omoyeme Obehi Erazua, 20, who was about three months pregnant when she was found dead, according to the Chronicle. She had been stabbed in the neck about 20 times. DNA testing appeared to indicate Devia was the father of the unborn boy.

Hi and thank you for looking at my profile! My name is Felipe and I am a self-taught, multi-instrumentalist who loves helping others learn how to play music and have fun while doing it. I began playing music in high school when I taught myself how to play drums and guitar by playing along with CD's of my favorite bands. Since then, I have played in many garage bands and have pursued an education in music, having received a Bachelor�s Degree in Music from the University of North Texas in 2011, and a Master's Degree in Music from Texas State University in 2014, with both degrees having an emphasis in music theory.
My teaching style is very laid-back, yet can be very intense for students who are ready to get to the next level. I understand that all students, no matter what their age may be, are different, and try my hardest to make my lessons fit the student�s individual style. I don't expect everyone to learn music my way, but try help to put music in terms that the student understands and feels comfortable with. I don't shout chords at the students and expect them to just know them like some other teachers do. I like to teach multiple versions of the same chords and work with the student to figure out which works best with them.

My name is Tim and I live in Schertz, Texas. I hold a BM and a BME from UTSA and an MM from Texas State. I also studied drama for 3 years at Trinity University. I have been a music teacher for 24 years. I have taught elementary music, secondary choir and college level music courses. I have performed in operas, musicals and plays in San Antonio and I have sung at Carnegie Hall in New York. I studied voice with Herald Stark and guitar with David Underwood. I have led a professional singing group and a professional dance troupe. I have composed choral music which has been performed in San Antonio and entered into international competitions. I have spent years learning techniques to help students sing in tune and learn how to read music. I have experience teaching students of all ages from 3 year olds to adults. I teach students from Northeast San Antonio, Selma, Schertz, Live Oak, Universal City, Cibolo, Bracken, Garden Ridge, Converse, Marion, Seguin and New Braunfels.

What is the future of "western" education? How will knowledge be conveyed to the next generation of students?
Often times, I hear from teachers and educators about how technology has revolutionized the classroom. But what has this technology really done for us?
Yes, the classroom has gotten a little streamlined, with the capability to use computers to type up essays and etc. But as a student, I wouldn't say any of this is revolutionary. It only makes learning a little more convenient. The classroom model hasn't changed for decades, if not centuries. There's a teacher, or another knowledgeable individual, who instructs a group of students, who take notes and do activities/projects under the guidance of that individual. This classroom model has remained almost unaltered despite the development of radio, television, and other things that were to have expected to "revolutionize" and change the way how we educate students.
With this being said, what do you guys all think? Will the education system and classroom model change in the future? Or will it remain the same?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Apr 29 2013: I think what you describe is common all over the world and not "Western" specific?
I agree that our current teaching model is very old and we need a new way to teach everyone because our society is getting more complex. The ongoing automation will further decrease the number of jobs that require minimum education while jobs with high requirements in IT, sciences, bio technology and similar will continue to increase.
I think we don't realize how much technology changed education (and this is just the beginning). Before the Internet era, students had to rely on their library to find answers and research material. With the Internet everyone has unprecedented access to knowledge on any topic. For example, Wikipedia is helping over a billion people around the world to understand any topic. Collaboration tools and sites allow students and teachers to collaborate. Free online courses and classes allow students with no income to learn material from top Universities like MIT etc.
We are also seeing slow but positive change in how classrooms are organized. For example, some schools are experimenting with Khan Academy and similar systems where students are more active in the learning process and teachers can focus more on individual students.
I think the future is very promising as students will have more access to wide range of online resources.
Apr 29 2013: I agree what is stated above, that the current education system is very outdated. New developments on learning styles and the progress on how we retain information will be changing our education system. I believe as a part of this change, technology will naturally flow into the new systems of education. With that said technology will not be the single key that will change the current education system. Technology will be integrated into the new education systems that develop from our new understandings.
Zdenek Smith 100+Apr 29 2013: Yes, society and esp. younger generation will also be part of pressure on the education system to change and adapt to new needs and views of its students.
Hopefully public education will adapt fast enough to provide its students enough skills for 21st century jobs.
Interesting times indeed. cheers

Saint Margaret of Scotland (c. 1045 – 16 November 1093), also known as Margaret of Wessex and Queen Margaret of Scotland, was an English princess of the House of Wessex. Margaret was sometimes called "The Pearl of Scotland".[1] Born in exile in Hungary, she was the sister of Edgar Ætheling, the short-ruling and uncrowned Anglo-Saxon King of England. Margaret and her family returned to England in 1057, but fled to the Kingdom of Scotland following the Norman conquest of England of 1066. Around 1070 Margaret married Malcolm III of Scotland, becoming his queen consort. She was a pious woman, and among many charitable works she established a ferry across the Firth of Forth for pilgrims travelling to Dunfermline Abbey, which gave the towns of South Queensferry and North Queensferry their names. Margaret was the mother of three kings of Scotland and a queen consort of England. According to the Life of Saint Margaret, attributed to Turgot of Durham, she died at Edinburgh Castle in 1093, just days after receiving the news of her husband's death in battle. In 1250 she was canonised by Pope Innocent IV, and her remains were reinterred in a shrine at Dunfermline Abbey. Her relics were dispersed after the Scottish Reformation and subsequently lost.
Early life[edit]
Margaret was the daughter of the English prince, Edward the Exile and granddaughter of Edmund Ironside, king of England.[1] After the Danish conquest of England in 1016, Canute had the infant Edward exiled to the continent. He was taken first to the court of the Swedish king, Olof Skötkonung, and then to Kiev. As an adult, he travelled to Hungary, where in 1046 he supported Andrew I's successful bid for the throne. The provenance of Margaret's mother, Agatha, is disputed, but Margaret was born in Hungary around 1045. Her brother Edgar the Ætheling and her sister Cristina were also born in Hungary around this time. Margaret grew up in a very religious environment in the Hungarian court. Andrew I of Hungary was known as "Andrew the Catholic" for his extreme aversion to pagans, and great loyalty to Rome, which probably could have induced Margaret to follow a pious life.
Return to England[edit]
Still a child, she came to England with the rest of her family when her father, Edward, was recalled in 1057 as a possible successor to her great-uncle, the childless Edward the Confessor. Whether from natural or sinister causes, Edward died immediately on landing, but Margaret continued to reside at the English court where her brother, Edgar Ætheling, was considered a possible successor to the English throne.[1] When the Confessor died in January 1066, Harold Godwinson was selected as king, Edgar perhaps being considered still too young. After Harold's defeat at the battle of Hastings later that year, Edgar was proclaimed King of England, but when the Normans advanced on London, the Witenagemot presented Edgar to William the Conqueror who took him to Normandy before returning him to England in 1068, when Edgar, Margaret, Cristina and their mother Agatha fled north to Northumbria.
Journey to Scotland[edit]
According to tradition, the widowed Agatha decided to leave Northumbria with her children and return to the continent. However, a storm drove their ship north to Scotland, where they sought the protection of King Malcolm III. The spot where they are said to have landed is known today as St. Margaret's Hope, near the village of North Queensferry. Margaret's arrival in Scotland in 1068, after the failed revolt of the Northumbrian earls, has been heavily romanticized, though Symeon of Durham implied that her first meeting with Malcolm III may not have been until 1070, after William the Conqueror's harrying of the north.
Malcolm was a widower with two sons, Donald and Duncan. He would have been attracted by the prospect of marrying one of the few remaining members of the Anglo-Saxon royal family. The marriage of Malcolm and Margaret took place some time before the end of 1070. Malcolm followed it with several invasions of Northumberland, in support of the claims of his brother-in-law Edgar, as well as to increase his own power. These, however, had little result beyond the devastation of the county.[2]
Margaret and Malcolm had eight children, six sons and two daughters:
- Edward, killed 1094.
- Edmund of Scotland (c.1070 – after 1097)
- Ethelred, abbot of Dunkeld
- Edgar of Scotland (c.1074 - 11 January 1107), King of Scotland from 1097 - 1107
- Alexander I of Scotland (c.1078 - 23 April 1124), King of Scotland from 1107 - 1124
- Edith of Scotland (c. 1080 – 1 May 1118), also called Matilda, married King Henry I of England
- Mary of Scotland (1082–1116), married Eustace III of Boulogne
- David I of Scotland (c.1083 – 24 May 1153), King of Scotland from 1124 - 1153
Religious life[edit]
Margaret's biographer Turgot, Bishop of St. Andrews, credits her with having a civilizing influence on her husband Malcolm by reading him stories from the Bible. She instigated religious reform, striving to make the worship and practices of the Church in Scotland conform to those of Rome. This she did with the inspiration and guidance of Lanfranc, the future Archbishop of Canterbury.[3] She also worked to bring the Scottish Church practice in line with that of the continental church of her childhood. Due to these achievements, she was considered an exemplar of the "just ruler", and influenced her husband and children - especially her youngest son, later David I - also to be just and holy rulers.
She attended to charitable works, serving orphans and the poor every day before she ate, and washing the feet of the poor in imitation of Christ. She rose at midnight every night to attend church services. She invited the Benedictine order to establish a monastery at Dunfermline in Fife in 1072, and established ferries at Queensferry and North Berwick to assist pilgrims journeying from south of the Firth of Forth to St. Andrews in Fife. A cave on the banks of the Tower Burn in Dunfermline was used by her as a place of devotion and prayer. St Margaret's Cave, now covered beneath a municipal car park, is open to the public.[4] Amongst her other deeds, Margaret also instigated the restoration of the monastery at Iona.[5] She is also known to have been an intercessor for the release of fellow English exiles, forced into serfdom by the conquest.[6]
In her private life, Margaret was as devout as she was in her public duties. She spent much of her time in prayer, devotional reading, and ecclesiastical embroidery. This appears to have had a considerable effect on the more uncouth Malcolm who could not read; he so admired her devotion that he had her books decorated in gold and silver. One of these, a pocket gospel book with Evangelist portraits, is in the Bodleian Library in Oxford.[7]
Malcolm seems to have been largely ignorant of the long-term effects of Margaret's endeavours, not being especially religious himself. He was content for her to pursue her reforms as she wished, a testament to the strength and affection inherent in their marriage.[5]
Her husband, Malcolm III, and their eldest son, Edward, were killed in a fight against the English at the Battle of Alnwick on 13 November 1093. Her son Edgar was left with the task of telling his mother of their deaths. Margaret was not yet fifty, but a life of constant austerity and fasting had taken their toll.[3] Already ill, Margaret died on 16 November 1093, three days after the deaths of her husband and eldest son.
Saint Margaret was canonised in 1250 by Pope Innocent IV in recognition of her personal holiness, fidelity to the Church, work for religious reform, and charity. On 19 June 1250, after her canonisation, her remains were moved to Dunfermline Abbey.[8] The Roman Catholic Church formerly marked the feast of Saint Margaret of Scotland on 10 June, because the feast of "Saint Gertrude, Virgin" was already celebrated on 16 November, but in Scotland, she was venerated on 16 November, the day of her death. In the revision of the General Roman Calendar in 1969, 16 November became free and the Church transferred her feast day to 16 November.[9] However, some traditionalist Catholics continue to celebrate her feast day on 10 June.
She is also venerated as a saint in the Anglican Church.
Several churches are dedicated to Saint Margaret. One of the oldest is St Margaret's Chapel in Edinburgh Castle, which was founded by her son King David I. The chapel was long thought to have been the oratory of Margaret herself, but is now considered to be a 12th-century establishment. The oldest building in Edinburgh, it was restored in the 19th century, and refurbished in the 1990s.
Others include the 13th-century Church of St Margaret the Queen in Buxted, East Sussex,[10] St Margaret of Scotland, Aberdeen and the Church of England church in Budapest. There is another in Bretagne, France near Etel. (Sainte-Marguerite 56550 Locoal-Mendon, France -- approximate address)

Set around 1,000 years before the dragons came back in Skyrim, and around 800 years before Sean Bean turned into a big dragon-thing in Oblivion, The Elder Scrolls Online is the first in Bethesda's long-running RPG series to feature multiplayer, not to mention the first since the original to let us trammel all over Tamriel - or most of it at least.
You know the drill by now: you pick one of nine races - the human Imperials still feature, but are no longer playable - and decide on a bunch of cool-sounding skills, before completely ignoring the plot and running off to explore a nearby hill. The major difference here is that you can now do that with other people, joining one of the three factions currently warring over the Emperor's throne, should you so desire.

A few well-designed systems struggle to overcome lifeless presentation. Capable, but ultimately hard to recommend.
