If you had a technology toy room to play with the most amazing educational technologies available today, what would be in it?
I've been given the remarkable privilege of starting a Center for Educational and Emerging Technology where university faculty and K-12 educators can come together to explore classroom technologies.
It will be a space where everyone can get their hands on the technology and discuss in a very diverse group the potential it has for meaningful change in the classroom. The budget is limited to start off, so what tools have you seen that have the potential for disruption in either higher ed or K-12 classrooms? If it's expensive, what groups do you think would likely fund their purchase for a center like this?

Don Anderson 50+Sep 27 2013: Please consider that students will no longer accept the old industrial-age classrooms, the age of teaching kids facts and what to think will no longer be tolerated by the kids.
Seek toys that teach HOW TO THINK! Divergent, convergent, creative, and group, thinking and problem solving.
For teaching social skills and more, I can see large screen with a skype. So classes can have meaningful exchanges with classes from other countries.
For technology it changes so fast it will be hard to keep up with, and other can guide you better than I could. But here is one cool educational product to consider.
Don Anderson 50+Sep 27 2013: Not anymore! I know a 2nd grade school teacher from a very rich and highly rated school district, (I think in the top five in the nation), just last week she said her current class was the worst she ever had. To paraphrase they were a buch of arrogant know it alls with a couple of were real trouble makers.
So the kids will not be protesting by writing letters and doing set ends, but if a highly rated school district teacher can't manage to teach them. They are smart enough to figure out how to teach themselves.
Don't underestimate the youth, the class of 2024 will make us look the prim-apes.
Sep 27 2013: I think you could be right. The vast majority of students do tend to accept what they're told. Question is, will their parents? I've seen a definite shift in this age of information in terms of parent involvement and community interest. They're starting to research strategies and techniques and if a school district has a collaborative environment, they may have a stronger voice than in the past.
I did find it interesting, though, that the Horizon report has been largely accurate and useful on all counts except 2; it consistently overestimated the value of the technology used and consistently underestimated the speed with which the strategies would be implemented.
Sep 28 2013: Do we want them to just accept what they are told? I use to occasionally tell my kids something really fantastic and untrue and continued until they decided that what I was saying was not right. Then we usually talked about thinking for themselves, considering the source, etc. I think blind acceptance of things they are unsure about might not be good.
How does the school system teach this kind of lesson?

Cllr Craig Middle with Margaret and Phillip Caddy and Housing officer Owain Griffiths
An empty property in Tonypandy has been turned into a home, thanks to a loan scheme administered by Rhondda Cynon Taf Council.
The Houses into Homes scheme, funded by the Welsh Government and administered by the Council's Housing Strategy and Standards team, gives local people the opportunity to obtain an interest-free loan towards renovation work on empty buildings.
Margaret and Phillip Caddy obtained a loan for £18,000 for renovation work at a house they own in Thomas Street, Tonypandy.
"The house had belonged to an elderly lady and was uninhabitable when we bought it. It needed a lot of work," explained Margaret.
"We heard about the scheme through the Rhondda Cynon Taf Landlords' Forum. We were pleased to receive the loan, which we don't have to pay back for three years."
The house has had extensive renovation work including a new felt roof, damp proofing, a new kitchen, plastering throughout and central heating. It is now being rented to a tenant.
A total of 15 empty properties across Rhondda Cynon Taf have had renovations funded by the scheme over the past year contributing to the creation of 30 additional homes. The loan scheme is a recyclable fund and as such there is funding available to provide further loans up to £25,000 per property. The Council is keen to receive further applications from interested owners and to continue to work in partnership to bring empty properties back into use.
Rhondda Cynon Taf Cabinet Member for Social Justice, Cllr Craig Middle said: "The Council is continuing to take action to help restore and regenerate empty properties so they can be used as accommodation for residents, which supports and regenerates our communities.
"I am pleased that this empty property renovation loan scheme is continuing to give local people the opportunity to transform vacant properties into homes."
For more information on the scheme, please contact the Housing Strategy and Standards Team 01443 425001.

You may notice it more in men but the so-called "beer belly" can be a bummer for women too.
Doctors say that for people with a growing middle, a tight waistband is the least of their problems. Abdominal fat is associated with high blood pressure, high blood sugar, higher risk of stroke, an increased risk of dementia, and sleep apnea.
So how do you know when a protruding stomach has reached the danger zone? Cardiologist Perry Weinstock says to put a tape measure around your waist to see if you are at risk, but do not put it too low.
Dr. Weinstock says, "We want to have it right where the belly button is and at the top right at the angle of the hip, parallel with the floor. So gentlemen would be right at about 48 inches and anything about 40 would be an area of concern for his doctor."
For a woman, he says a waistline over 35 inches is risky. Dr. Weinstock says that beer gets all the blame for big bellies, but he says that any food or drink high in carbohydrates will do the same thing, we just don't call it a pasta belly or sugar belly although, for many, that's the problem.

Leonard and Mischal Sign to Play College Ball
Two more Cavaliers recently made a commitment to get the post high school education and play ball at the next level.
Josh Leonard signed a national letter of intent to play at Morehead State University in Kentucky.
The 6-foot-3 defensive and offensive lineman plans to major in communications at Morehead. Leonard says he was sold on the energy and desire to win displayed by the Eagles coaching staff.
"They wanted to win, and our last season at Chillicothe, we went 9-and-2 and I want to keep winning. It seemed like their coaches really wanted to win and that's what sold me right there."
Leonard and his fellow Cavalier teammates were ranked 22nd in the state for grade point average, a mark set by good work ethic and high expectations.
"CHS is an amazing school. It always seemed that my grades were best when I had football."
If everything works according to his desires, we could see Leonard as an announcer on football telecasts. "My initial goal, I want to play football, get my degree… and I want to get my master's, too."
But it's possible those plans may have him back home in Chillicothe one day.
"I wouldn't mind coming back here in ten years and raising a family" added Leonard.
Jalen Mischal made a commitment to play baseball for Wilmington College this week.
The catcher/first baseman said he decided midway through his high school days he wanted to concentrate on playing collegiate baseball. He was introduced to Wilmington by football coach Ron Hinton, a Wilmington alumnus.
Mischal says of Wilmington, "They're athletic training program is one of the best in the country" and that's led Mischal to one day become a certified athletic trainer, something he became interested in during his Cavalier playing days thanks to Cavs trainer Andrea Anderson.
"Being an athlete, you're always seeing what's going on… and I like to help people." Mischal says he's not taped ankles just yet, but did admit "When she's not there, I do wrap ice on people after practice."
Mischal and his baseball teammates are preparing for the 2014 baseball season, which officially begins with a doubleheader at Unioto March 29th.
The Cavs will be led by former Cavalier and new head coach Todd Seymour. Seymour replaces his former coach Marty Dunn who retired after the 2013 season.
The Quakers have a similar circumstance with a new head coach this year, too. Dan Cleaver takes the reins from Tony Haley who retired after 13 years as head coach for Wilmington College.

Video Cameras
Play video memo pad drags the fridge-magnet into the digital age
Not so long ago, leaving a message for other members of the household would often involve sticking a note on the fridge and hoping they saw it. Now that just about everybody has a mobile phone, hastily scribbled notes have given way to hastily thumbed text messages or a quick voice, or even video call. Native Union is looking to somehow combine the almost lost art of not-so-instant messaging with the more modern video call with its Play video memo pad. Read More
Simplified ContourROAM actioncam goes underwater and costs less
Amongst the various actioncam brands currently in existence, Contour is certainly one of the better-known. Today, the company introduced a new addition to its family, the ContourROAM. Like its predecessors the Contour+ and ContourGPS, it has a rugged cylindrical aluminum body, and a swiveling lens that users aim via two laser beams on either side. Unlike those cameras, however, it can be taken in the water, and goes from being powered off to recording with the push of one button. Read More
Pico Flex Dolly makes for smooth moves
Few things add to the production value of a video like a good tracking shot - you know, where the camera is on wheels, and moves around or towards the subject. While full-size dolly systems for 35 mm movie cameras are financially out of reach for most low-budget and hobbyist film-makers, guess what? You can now shoot movies with a little something called a digital single lens reflex camera, and it only needs a tiny dolly. One such creature is the CineSkates system, but we recently heard about another, known as the Pico Flex Dolly. Read More
App-based remote room monitoring system for iPad and iPhone
When I lived in what is generally described as an unsavory neighborhood, I had a device installed which would ring my mobile phone if the alarm sounded. Technology has moved on a tad since then with home monitoring options like this one from Florida-based Stem Innovation. The company has developed an app-controlled video camera called the iZON Remote Room Monitor that streams live video and audio to your iOS device when movement or sound is detected at home. The system can even send the recording direct to a private YouTube account for safe-keeping or sharing. Read More
Film-maker's Camera Eye is up and shooting
When he was nine years old, Toronto film-maker Rob Spence received a severe injury to his right eye in a shotgun accident. After a period of hiding the aftermath under an eyepatch, six years ago he had the eye replaced with a prosthesis. Being a visual artist, however, he had an idea - instead of just an unseeing artificial eye, he wanted one that could capture images of what he was looking at, and wirelessly transmit them to an external recording device. He himself wouldn't be able to see through the eye, but the footage obtained from it could take film-making to new levels. It's been a few years since Spence began his Eyeborg Project, but he has just announced that the eye is now functioning. Read More
Sony rolls out new NEX-VG20 interchangeable lens camcorder
Sony has taken the wraps off the NEX-VG20, a consumer HD interchangeable lens camcorder that follows the world's first consumer-oriented HD camcorder with an interchangeable lens system, the NEX-VG10. The upcoming NEX-VG20 features the same E-mount system that offers users the choice of seven different E-mount lenses. Sony claims the VG20 offers a number of improvements over the previous model, including comprehensive manual controls, improved imaging quality, upgraded sound and ergonomic refinements such as enhanced grips and a second record button.

CineSkates turn GorillaPod into camera dolly
If you're a videographer, and want to elevate your work from just looking competent to looking slick, one of the best things you can do is put your camera on a dolly. No, I'm not talking about a Ken or Barbie, but a wheeled camera mount that allows you to do smooth, fluid tracking shots. While the Spielbergs of the world use actual purpose-built camera dollies, lower-budget film-makers often make do with wheelchairs, skateboards, or wheeled spreaders that mount on the bottom of industrial-sized tripods. Given the popularity of JOBY's compact and flexible GorillaPod tripods, however, it perhaps shouldn't be surprising that someone has developed a wheel system for them – it's called CineSkates.

The Phantom v1610 camera shoots videos at 1,000,000 fps
Vision Research has revealed the latest addition to its line of digital high-speed cameras, in the form of the Phantom v1610. It shoots videos at an impressive speed of 16,000 fps, at a resolution of 1280 x 800. However, if the number of pixels is reduced to just 128 x 16, the speed can be increased to a whopping 1 million frames recorded every second. While that's less than the X-ray camera that shoots at 4.5 million fps, the Phantom v1610 is not a scientific one-of-a-kind device. Read More
Computer-generated imagery (CGI) has become such a staple of modern movie-making that most people know what actors are doing when prancing around in front of green screens wearing skin-tight leotards with reflective balls affixed at various locations over their bodies - motion capture. In addition to the actor's performance, such techniques can also require the tracking of camera movements and props so that perspective is maintained when translating the movements into CGI. Now researchers have demonstrated a system that can perform motion capture almost anywhere and without the need to track a separate camera and it does this by mounting the cameras on the actors instead.

Drift Innovation releasing smaller HD actioncam
Last August, we did a side-by-side video comparison of Drift Innovation's HD-170 actioncam, and the ever-popular GoPro HERO HD. While we liked the HD-170's image quality, LCD screen, ease of use and swiveling lens, we noted that it lacked the HERO's replaceable lens, and that it was considerably longer (although narrower) than the GoPro camera. Well, with its new compact Drift HD, Drift Innovation has addressed both of those shortcomings. Read More

There I was: Beer in hand, nachos in the oven, and ready to watch some Monday Night Football.
I flipped on the TV to find The Voice and a few other reality TV shows on every channel! I was expecting Broncos vs. Chargers! I was expecting Peyton in primetime!
Then I remembered that Monday Night Football is on ESPN which we don't have. Totally lame.
But hey… the nachos were good!
Chicken Fajita Nachos
- Marinade:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3-4 chipotle peppers (from adobo sauce)
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 lime, juice only
- Small handful of cilantro
- Pinch of salt
- 1 pound chicken, sliced thin and marinated
- 1 red pepper, sliced thin
- 1/2 red onion, sliced thin
- 2 Serrano peppers, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces cheddar cheese
- Tortilla chips
- Guacamole
- Salsa
Helpful Equipment
1) In a food processor, combine the marinade ingredients and pulse until well-mixed. Alternatively, you can dice everything very finely and mix together.
2) Add marinade to a bag with sliced chicken. Let marinate for at least 20 minutes. Slice veggies and grate cheese while chicken marinates. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3) In a heavy skillet (Cast iron works well), heat over high heat. Add a drizzle of oil and cook chicken until it is cooked through, stirring regularly.
4) When chicken is cooked through, about eight minutes, remove chicken from pan and add veggies. If pan is really dry, add another drizzle of oil. Keep the pan hot. Cook the veggies until they are seared but still slightly crunchy, about two minutes.
5) Remove veggies and dice. Add veggies to diced chicken.
6) Lay out a layer of tortilla chips on a baking sheet. Top with grated cheddar cheese and a nice layer of the chicken/veggie mixture.
7) Bake nachos for 5-6 minutes until the nachos are warm and cheese is melted.
Serve immediately with guacamole and any other toppings you want!
Marinade City
This marinade is perfect for any sort of Tex-Mex situation. It combines all of my favorite flavors: cilantro, garlic, chipotle, and lime juice.
It helps to have a little mini-processor to buzz it up in, but you could also just chop everything very finely and mix it together.
After a quick buzz in the food processor you'll have this really wonderful marinade. It would go great on any sort of meat and even tofu or tempeh I think.
Just put your main protein in a bag and pour in the marinade. For something like chicken, just 20 minutes of marinating will give it plenty of flavor.
The Veg
When I think of fajitas I think of lots of peppers and onions in addition to the meat. So I chopped up some red onion and red pepper. Leave these in big slices right now since they will cook on high heat.
Ready To Cook
There are two cooking steps for these nachos: Cook the fajitas then cook the nachos. Neither step takes very long.
It does help to have a really hot skillet or grill pan for the fajita step though. You could grill the stuff, but I just used my cast iron skillet on this particular day.
Get it nice and hot over high heat and then add your chicken. Cook the chicken until it's cooked through and seared. Stir it frequently as it cooks so the peppers don't burn too badly. It should only take about 8 minutes to cook through.
Then scoop out the chicken and add the peppers. These will cook even faster. If the pan looks really dry, add a drizzle of olive oil to it.
Once the peppers have cooked for a few minutes they should be lightly charred but still a bit crispy in spots.
Remove them and chop up the veggies and chicken. You'll probably want to season the mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper also.
Nachos Nachos
The nachos step is even easier. Just preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Lay out a good layer of thick tortilla chips on a baking sheet. Don't use the really thin chips as they will just turn into a soggy mess.
Top the chips with grated cheese and then a nice layer of the chicken fajita topping. I had a little bit of topping left over but I used most of it.
Bake this whole tray for about 5-6 minutes until everything is warm and the cheese is melted.
Serve it with any toppings that you like. I recommend guacamole, salsa, and maybe some sour cream.
It's perfect game day food. Or, if you are me, it's perfect yelling-at-your-computer food.

Unseeded Elwin Anthony of Tamil Nadu showed fine proficiency on grass to outclass third seed Chandril Sood of Uttar Pradesh in the first round of the National grass court tennis championships here at the South Club on Monday.
Another unseeded Tamil Nadu player, Ajai Selvaraj, also scored an upset win over Chandril's twin brother — seventh seed Lakshit — in a protracted three-setter.
The rest of the seeds in action — second seed Nitten Kirrtane of Maharashtra, fifth-seeded Abhijit Tewari of Chandigarh, sixth seed Ramkumar Ramanathan of Tamil Nadu and eighth-seeded Saurabh Sukul of Bengal — progressed to the next round with contrasting wins.
Elwin impressed with his game as he blanked the Chandril.
Needing little more than an hour to accomplish the upset, the 21-year-old Elwin was in control of the match right from the beginning.
He served and returned well and broke his fancied opponent in the eighth game to win the first set 6-3. He was more dominant in the second set as he broke Chandril thrice for a 6-0 result.
Ajai encountered a little more resistance from the other Sood — Lakshit — before winning a ticket to the pre-quarterfinals.
The Tamil Nadu player won the first set comfortably but slipped in the second when his Uttar Pradesh opponent levelled the set score. Ajai regained his composure in the decider and held his nerve to win 6-1, 4-6, 6-4.
The results:
First round (singles): Men: Kunal Anand bt Saurabh Patil 6-3, 6-1; Ronak Manuja bt Rohit Sarwate (AP) 6-3, 6-3; Ajai Selvaraj (TN) bt Lakshit Sood (UP) 6-1, 4-6, 6-4; Elwin Antony (TN) bt Chandril Sood (UP) 6-3, 6-0; Manoj Sewa (Ben) bt S. Sai Saran Reddy (AP) 7-5, 6-0.
Vinod Sridhar (TN) bt Brahmjot Singh (Dli) 6-4, 6-3; Saurabh Sukul (Ben) bt Rajat Maheshwari (Mah) 7-5, 4-6, 6-4; Abhijeet Tiwari (Chd) bt Rithvik Anand (TN) 7-5, 6-3; Sagar Manjanna (Kar) bt Balaji Lakshmanan (TN) 7-6(5), 6-2.

It's been a while… but I'm trying to get back on track with the Melbourne Homes! Today I feel very lucky to share some shots of the beautiful home of Shelley and Stephan Trbuhovich of Galerie Montmartre.
I never would have met Shelley and Stephan if it weren't for this blog. We first crossed paths nearly a year ago when I profiled their gorgeous shop in Fitzroy… (how time flies!). Since then Galerie Montmartre has been so incredibly supportive of The Design Files, and I am so grateful not just for their support of the blog, but also for their friendship and endless encouragement! Whenever I need a bit of a confidence boost I know Shelley will always give me an instant pep-up! (Hey, everyone needs a cheersquad once in a while!).
Shelley and Stephan's house in Clifton Hill is such a warm, welcoming family home, dotted with retro-inspired details that reflect the passions of its owners. It's filled with collections of beautiful old things – Shelley's vintage ceramic vase collection, Stephan's 1950′s bakelite radios and vintage sodastreams (is that what's they're called?)… and of course, a stunning array of French vintage posters! All this mixed up with the occasional newer 'must have' piece (such as Shelley's Eames rocker) makes for a home that is stylish yet modest and unpretentious, and filled with the unmistakeable energy and personality of its occupants!
Thanks so much to Shelley and Stephan for letting me loose in their house with my camera!
ps) Shelley has a lovely blog here! Do visit and say hello!
Love Mali's French Vintage Poster (top image!). Another print by Christina Gordon is below… (Thanks for reminding me!)

Norwich - A research project to study dozens of Colonial and early 19th century gravestones in the cellar of Christ Episcopal Church halted abruptly earlier this month when historian David Oat spotted what he thought could be a human finger bone in the dirt near a pile of gravestones.
Church history says the gravestones were removed from the old cemetery, and the bodies of church founders and their descendents placed in a mass grave at the side of what was to be the new church built in 1846 on lower Washington Street.
The gravestones were placed in the foundation basement of the new church and remained there, in stacks and piles, partially covered by loose dirt, some broken, others in beautiful condition for the past 1½ centuries. Oat started his research project in June to document the stones and match them with church written records.
Oat immediately stopped work when he saw the small bone and called state Archaeologist Nicholas Bellantoni to determine if he was indeed working atop a portion of the former churchyard cemetery. Read more.

Then I spotted an offer I couldnt refuse on an auction site....
Officially the owner of a shiny new low-glare brushed stainless Ruger SR1911 commander length. MAN do I love this pistol already...for the value its just perfect all the way through. I can get beyond the use of some MIM internal parts because I truly believe that the MIM process has improved greatly over the last 15 years....and the fit and finish and sweet a$$ trigger pull made my right hand melt, specially after adding Hogue finger groove rubber inserts under the wood grips

The legal battle that has been slowly rumbling between 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros has just hit another milestone as the court date for the trial has been confirmed.
You'll recall that Fox is suing Warners over rights to distribute the film as part of a 1991 claim on the graphic novel. While an injunction to stop Warners releasing the film as planned next March has been denied, the judge overseeing the case has ruled that the studios will have to argue the case in court. The date is set for 6th January, reports Variety.
The complicated legal wrangling will step up as both sides prepare to present their cases. Will it effect the actual opening date for the film? Unlikely, but we'll have to wait until early next year to find out for sure.

Editors' review
For those who want a scanning program that adds features over those of native Mac applications, VueScan for Mac does just that--and it performed well in our tests.
VueScan for Mac comes with a free trial version that limits the scanners available for use. The full version costs $39.95 to unlock. The download completed as quickly as expected via a high-speed connection. A user guide was available as a link to the developer's Web site, which was a helpful feature. Support for updates also appeared to be available. The main menu had a dated design, but was functional. Main buttons were clearly labeled for primary functions like input and output, among others. The output can be changed in many ways, including printed size or file type. The right side of the window contains the image preview from the scanner and the scanned image, itself. In addition to basic scanning features, the application also allows minor editing, like color changes and cropping. These functions, along with the scanning, performed well without any glitches or programming bugs.
VueScan for Mac performs well, albeit with a dated interface. It is suitable for any Mac user who wants to add a few simple but useful tools to the scanning process.
Editors' note: This is a review of the trial version of VueScan for Mac 9.2.18.
Publisher's Description
VueScan is a powerful scanning program that works with most scanners to produce high-quality scans that have excellent color fidelity. It takes advantage of the advanced hardware capabilities of most scanners on the market today, and helps you do batch scanning while at the same time producing color-balanced and cropped images.
What's new in this version:
- Added support for 2 new Canon scanners
- LiDE 120
- LiDE 220
- Improved scan speed on some Brother scanners with USB 2.0
- Fixed problem with document feeder on some older HP scanners

I believe in miracles. I have witnessed what I class as a miracle. Everyone has their opinions so some people won't agree with me and that's fine but please respect my opinion too. I will talk about it if you ask but if I say I don't want to answer a question then don't push me :) The girl you just called fat? She is over dosing on diet pills. The girl you just called ugly? She spends hours putting makeup on hoping people will like her. The boy you just tripped? He is abused enough at home. See that man with the ugly scars? He fought for his country. That guy you just made fun of for crying? His mother is dying. Put this as you're profile if you're against bullying. I bet 95% of you wont put this on your profile, but I'm sure the people with a heart and backbone will
The GameMolly is an average girl with above average problems. Zak is a popular guy with plenty of friends. When the two meet at a party and begin a continuous game of Never Have I Ever will they gain each others trust or will the choose to lie?

It's more than a company, it's a movement promoting acceptance and harmony. The message is that there are no bad wives, just bad behaviors. It's about taking your power back and not allowing any person, place or thing derail our mission to be happy and put family first.
my tag line is: "It's Never Too Late To Live Happily Ever After". I think it might be interesting to see a really cool crown behind the logo. my signature line is: Queen of my Castle~ Owner of my Feelings ~ A Work in Progress, so the Crown will be my identifier. It has to be a very unique and not cutsey crown. I want it to make a bold statement and yet keep a feminine air.

Living Word Christian Academy provides an amazing academic and faith-based environment for its students. The administrative staff and teachers are committed to preparing students for today's academic and social challenges. My second grader is thriving in this environment because his teacher's instruction methodology is differentiated and geared toward college preparedness. The student-teacher ratio is conducive to student engagement and overall academic development. In addition to the core curriculum, many assignments are designed to promote confidence in public speaking and productive citizenship. It's definitely the right academic and social environment for my son.
Living Word is an awesome school for students to attend because I help kids advance beyond where they are. The leadership at Living Word (Principal) has a heart for children and makes sure the teachers and staff are provided with the tools necessary to teach our children. It teaches them educational curriculum and spiritual. Making it a happy and healthy environment for the staff and students. Excellent.
Give your child an authentic gift of education in a warm, loving, christ-centered, student driven environment. We provide certified teachers with endorsements in special education, reading specialist and gifted and talented . Students study both academic and biblical curriculums that are enhanced with field experiences. Our kindergartner are in the top five percentiles ranking in the national examination. All students complete projects in science and history. All students are given diagnostic assessments the first week of school and bench mark assessment every nine weeks to assess academic growth to local and national objectives. Most students are taught above current grade level.
THIS SCHOOL IS A SMALL LOVING AND NURTURING ENVIROMENT WITH VERY CARING AND ATTENTIVE STAFF. wHILE NO SCHOOL IS PERFECT, THIS SCHOOL STRIVES TO MEET MY CHILD'S EDUCATIONAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL NEEDS
I enjoy the location, Faculty and Staff. This is my second year at this school and I anticipate an awesome year.
My son has been coming to the school since he was 2 years old and now he is going on 4 years old. The preschool curriculm is excellent but some of the teachers can be a little strict and not understanding of the childrens age. They do offer great specials for children and extended care but they care more about attracting new clients then giving the better deals to existing clients.
My son has attended LWCA since preschool and is now a seventh grader. He has always done well, however, under the current administration and staff his focus has improved immensely and he"s doing better. I'm extremely proud of the fact that he's in a Christian enviroment where biblical principles are taught along with the other academics necessary to progress to the next level in life. I highly recommend this school.
My son has been attending this school since August. I love the Christian based learning environment that teaches honesty and integrity. My son surprises me with how much he has progressed academically. His teacher this year is AWESOME. He is already reciting bible verses to me!
I have two grandchildren that have attended ABC Word Academy and love it. My grandson Aiden has attended for three years and his teacher is awesome. Ms. Evelyn has a great relationship with him and he is excelling in her class. My granddaughter Erqka loves (Ms. Dee) and can't wait to get back to her. The overall school has a good curriculum and the teachers are very attentive to the children. I would recommend this school to anyone who is looking for great school.
I AM NEW TO LIVING WORD CHRISTIAN ACADEMY My granddaughter is a PK there. We started there three weeks ago and so, far everything has been excellent . Everybody is so, nice and very friendly I love it there already. I am looking forward to the future.
My family has had a great experience with ABC Word Academy! The teachers are very nurturing and works great with the kids. They have learned so much while attending this school. Everyone has been very professional and seems to sincerely care about the needs of my children. I give everything and everyone 5 stars! Devinity Reynolds
I really recommend this school to anyone who has children. The pre-school program is excellent. My daughter came during the second half of the year and she learned do much in a short period. Parents you still have to do your part but these teachers are a great first start. I really do love Mrs.Tanya and so does my daughter, but Ms. Meka, Ms. Missa, Ms. Larrisa, and Ms. Nakyia all play a part as well.
The Teachers at Living Word Christian Academy are extraordinary! The Superintendent, and other Upper Administration, bring a negative atmosphere to the school. They smile, yet your heart knows it is FAKE. They do not LIVE THE WORD in their actions or the tone of their voices. (making snide remarks behind one's back) My children are not being cared for by a babysitter. They are learning every moment of their day, (well, except nap time) If I could just deal with the teachers and not the administrative staff this place would be near perfect. I do have a problem with paying for EVERY field trip or play. Isn't that what my $250 activity fee is for? The advanced curriculum and the incorporation of GOD throughout the day is AWESOME. The teaching staff is AMAZING. For my child EVERYDAY was a GOOD DAY.
I am new to the Living Word Christian Academy family and so far I am very pleased with the staff at the school. The staff has been very helpful and have shown love and support to me and my family. I feel like I have made the right choice in choosing Living Word to help with the education of my child. I recommend others to check out the school as well. Good job Living Word.
I love ABC Word Academy!! Ms. Tina along with all the other staff members have a great presence on campus and are always availble for questions and concerns. My daughter is starting her second year at ABC Word and I have seen tremendous growth. I hope this year is just as wonderful!!!
I absolutely love this school!! They have taught my children so much. I especially love Ms Tina Jefferson because every single time my children and I come in contact with her, she has a welcoming smile on her face. This school has been such a great blessing to my family.

LWCA is a great school for any child to attend. My daughter was used to staying at home with grandma so I thought that it would be very hard for her to adapt. However the teachers and staff not only made her feel comfortable being there, they made me feel comfortable as well. I like the fact that they treat the kids like their very own, when they are sad or crying the teacher pick them up and comfort them. My daugter has learned so much there and I am very greatful.
Mychildren have been attending this school since 2006. My husband and i are pleased with the biblical and academic education they receive there. I have three children who have all attended pre-school there, and two of my children are now taking advantage of the intruction provided by the Gifted and Talented teachers in the upper level classes.

From National Geographic Photo Of The Day; October 5, 2013:
Greater One-Horned (Indian) Rhinoceroses, Fort Worth Zoo Joel Sartore
Four-month-old Indian Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) Asha (Hope in Hindi) will stick close to its mother for up to two years. In zoos and in the wild, this rhino species is growing in numbers.
Sartore photographed the rhinoceroses as part of his Photo Ark project, through which he is documenting thousands of rare species. "Half of all the species on Earth could be headed irreversibly toward extinction by 2100. Not if I can help it," Sartore says. "That's the idea behind the Photo Ark: getting the public to look these creatures in the eye, then care enough to save them while there's still time."

greeeentrees: Are you doing more photos this year, or do you have another blog I could follow?
I'm not doing an official photo project this year. At this time, I don't have another blog… but don't give up on me yet! I'm missing my camera and thinking of posting again, maybe at a little more leisurely pace than EVERY DAY. Actually, now that I think about it, I took a lot of "extra photos" in 2012 that never made it to post. I think I'll go post those now! :)
ghypki: Congratulations! I know you enjoyed this project, but it took a lot of determination and commitment on your part to find the right photo each and every day. I've enjoyed seeing what would appear each day. Nicely done!
mrcoopersblog: December 21 Gnarly tree limbs in Charlotte, NC were was this picture taken?? I really like that tree, do you know what kind it is?
I took this photo on campus at UNCC. Behind the Miner statue. I have no idea what kind of tree it was. It was short. It might have technically been a shrub.
Well, I just posted my last photo of 2012.
366 photos (it was a Leap Year).
This was the first and only resolution I've ever seen through 'til the end.
This photo project taught me how to open my eyes and see things that had become invisible to me over the years.
I saw beautiful flowers, butterflies, and monuments that I didn't even realize surrounded me every day.
As we approach 2013, I hope I will continue to enjoy the beauty and cool stuff that is always worth seeing, with or without a camera.
Thank you to my followers on Tumblr who viewed and 'liked' my photos. And an extra thank you to the people who thought some of my photos were cool enough to reblog. You don't know how much that meant to me.
Thank you to those who wrote to me, encouraging me to continue as 2012 progressed.
Happy New Year to you all!

The essential amino acid L-tryptophan helps support relaxation, restful sleep, and positive mood. It plays a part in the synthesis of both melatonin and serotonin, hormones involved with mood and stress response and sleep/wake cycles. L-Tryptophan also supports immune functions because it is the body's precursor to the kynurenines that regulate immunity. If needed, L-tryptophan converts to niacin in the body, which supports circulation, a healthy nervous system, the metabolism of food, and the production of hydrochloric acid for the digestive system. Source Naturals L-Tryptophan is regularly tested to ensure the highest standards of quality.

These seem too large for my wife's half-size feet. She will try wearing one pair a bit on our carpet before deciding to keep or not.
Bought for my mom who has diabetes and has to have an open shoe most the time but with straps that keep it on. Perfect. Thanks SPG

Burning Man
Photo Credit: Scott London visualnews.com
Burning Man is more of an art "event" than a music festival, but this week-long gathering hovers on the fissure where tomorrow's new sounds bubble up from the underground. The Burn isn't about headlining artists, but rather about highlighting the fact that each of us is an artist. Also, unlike "festivals", Burning Man does not provide a stage, there is no food being sold, no showers to clean yourself off, etc. Every single aspect of Black Rock City (it's home) is purchased, created, brought in, set up (and sometimes burned) by the participants.
It's not for the day tripper for sure but give in to it and you just might be blown away by what comes out. With a very limited number of tickets available and a massive amount of preparation necessary for all burners, you better start planning now if you hope to experience the adventure of a lifetime.

Reks is just over 8 weeks old now and he's absolutely amazing, but I was never prepared as a father for how difficult it would be! Things are getting easier now, but finding the time for any normality is really hard. I work full time and also have my own business, so finding the energy is so hard. My partner has also had post natal depression, which has been a struggle….but luckily shes starting to get better now. I've been under so much pressure to look after everyone and also myself!!
Reks also has a cleft lip and palate, so this has also added to the strain. Feeding was not easy to get use too, as he has to have special bottles and teats because he cannot suck. This also means breastfeeding was a no no too….
I would not change a thing though, he's just a amazing and seeing his exaggerated smile everyday just makes it more worth it. His operation for the lip repair is on 1st of January; New Year, New Lip as I say.

Career History
2002-present: Senior Lecturer in Neurology, University of Sheffield;
1997-2002: Specialist Training in Neurology, Marburg, Germany;
1993-1997: Research Fellow, Institute of Neurology. Queen Square London. PhD on "Genetic Aspects of Parkinsonian Disorders" (Supervisors: Prof A.E. Harding, Prof C.D. Marsden, Prof N.W. Wood)
1992-1993: House officer, Dept Neurology, Klinikum Grosshadern, Munich (Head: Prof T. Brandt)
1991: Qualification at Ludwig Maximilian´s University Munich, Germany
My research focuses on different aspects of basal ganglia disorders such as Parkinson´s Disease, Huntington´s Disease, Wilson Disease or dystonia.
Recently finished or currently ongoing projects:
1.Parkinson´s Disease (PD):
1.1. We have just completed a genetic research project investigating different genes and genetic loci for a possible role as either susceptibility factors for PD or disease-modifying factors, i.e. determining the age of onset.
1.2. I have collaborated on the investigation of dopamine receptor gene polymorphisms as risk factors for "sleep attacks" in PD (Rissling et al., 2004).
1.3. We have established the first zebrafish model of familial PD worldwide (Bretaud et al., 2007) and continue to use this new vertebrate animal model for studies which will hopefully lead to a better understanding of the different mechanisms leading to neuronal cell death in human patients.
1.4. We are currently also investigating the effect of PD gene mutations on mitochondrial function in a new cell culture system.
Our main future goal is to use both our new cell culture system and the zebrafish model to identify new, disease-modifying therapy for PD.
2. Huntington´s Disease (HD)
2.1. Together with Dr Quarrell (consultant geneticist) and Katherine Tidswell (neuropsychology assistant) we are currently involved in the EURO-HD REGISTRY study. The aim of this study is to obtain a better understanding of the natural course of HD.
2.2. I am also participating in a drug trial investigating a new drug, Amarin, for its possible effect on chorea.
2.3. We will be part of the HD network of the Dementias and Neurodegenerative Diseases Research Network. (DeNDRoN)
3. Wilson Disease (WD)
2.1. I have contributed to the development of the first validated clinical rating scale for the neurological impairment in WD (EURO-WILSON collaboration, Czlonkowska et al., 2007).
2.2. I have contributed to a recently published study investigating the role of the common H1069Q mutation of ATP7B as a disease-modifying factor for PD (Moeller et al., 2006).
2.3. We are currently determining the genetic prevalence of WD by screening a very large number of normal controls for common WD mutations (collaboration with the Welcome Sanger Institute, Cambridge, UK).
2.4. We are also involved in the systematic assessment of the mutation distribution and frequency of ATP7B mutations in UK patients with WD (collaboration with Dr M Sayer and Dr A Dalton, Genetics Service Laboratory, Children´s Hospital, Sheffield).
4. Dystonia
4.1. We have recently published a study investigating a possible role of torsinA haplotypes as susceptibility factors for sporadic adult-onset dystonia (Hague et al., 2006).
4.2. We are currently undertaking a detailed study of dopa-responsive dystonia in the UK.
4.3. I also continue to be involved as the PI in gene expression studies in a new toxin-induced animal model of dystonia (collaboration with Dr Alvarez-Fischer, Paris, France and Prof W.H Oertel, Marburg, Germany).
5. Other projects
Other, currently ongoing or recently completed studies undertaken directly by my group and additional studies I have been involved with as a collaborator are listed below:
5.1. Linkage analysis in familial Bell´s palsy (ongoing)
5.2. Candidate gene studies in Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (Klaffke et al., 2006; Asmus et al., 2005).
5.3. Central nervous system involvement in hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP, Tackenberg et al., 2006).
5.4. The fragile X tremor ataxia syndrome in the differential diagnosis of multiple system atrophy (Kamm et al., 2005).
