This is an ideal place to relax with family and friends. The lagoon in front of the cottage is a great place for snorkeling, for teaching small children to swim and to rest in the healing waters.
When rental is combined with the Plantation Manager's Beach House (446099) the property is ideal for weddings, family reunions or gathering of good friends.
The Seaside Zen Cottage is one of the oldest beach homes on the Kona Coast. Sometime in the early 1900's Dr. Phillips purchased a 'surplus' teacher's cottage in Hilo. Dr. Phillips had the house dismantled, put on a truck and reassembled on his beachfront lot in Kona. Whether this occurred in the 1920's, '30s or '40s is unknown. Marjorie and Robbie Robertson started renting Dr. Phillips' oceanfront vacation rental in the very early 1940s it was one of the few homes on the Government Road (as Alii Drive was then known). The 7 mile long single lane unpaved road from Kailua to Keauhou was little traveled and sparsely populated.
Marjorie and Robbie Robertson purchased the Seaside Zen Cottage in 1951. Since then The Cottage has been wired for electricity. There is a County water and 'wastewater' system. There are modern appliances and conveniences like wireless internet and cable TV, but we have strived to keep the Seaside Zen Cottage reminiscent of the time when it was known as 'The Phillips Place.' Emily Jagoda, a brilliant architect who studied in Japan re-imagined the stuffy Hilo teacher's cottage, opened it up to the ocean and mountain breezes and created its Zen like atmosphere.
The front lawn is a great place to sit on the deck chairs under the heliotrope trees. You can read, sleep, or watch the honu (green sea turtles) swimming in the lagoon or sunning themselves on the beach right in front of you. The lagoon is great for a dip at high tide, or if you like to snorkel, you can cruise around looking at the amazing variety of reef fish and sea creatures. Outside the lagoon, schools of porpoise go by just about every day. In the winter, humpback whales are often seen just past the rocks. It is fun to watch them spout, or if you are lucky, see them breach.

Craigievar falls into the iconic category.
So iconic that in 7 years living down the road in Aberdeen and countless visits to the city over 50+ years, I'd not been the castle.
In August 11 I laid the ghost.
It is set in the loveliest Aberdeenshire countryside - upland farms, low hills, woods. Then you come upon this pink edifice like a screen set from a Disney movie.
The interior does not disappoint. I got a real sense of the history of the place, and the guide was excellent.
The grounds looked wonderful too, but it was an unseasonably cold day so we just made a dash for the car heater after the tour of the castle.
Highly recommended.
£27 for 2 adults & 2 teenagers.

More mainstream "Royal Deeside" than Craigievar, probably I'd avoided it all these years for just that reason and because everyone tells me I must see it.
It has commercial feel to it - a gift shop, a cafe, and they had a bridal party there just to take "nice" photos. Oh, and an operatic group singing from Carmen on the lawns as they warmed up for the evening's outdoor performance.
I was very impressed with the gardens.
The cost was £27 for 2 adults and 2 teenagers, plus £2 for parking.

Walk the Track
The track runs parallel to Auchiries Road, a small minor road which connects to the main Peterhead/Aberdeen road. We sometimes walk this road which passes by Craighead caravan park, but more usually we walk the track. The track is a pleasant walk through open countryside and passes by Errolston Riding stables. There is little traffic here - there are only three houses and one farm with a bit of distance between them - so only local traffic but on many a walk I have hardly given way to any. You can take a short walk here or a longer one, the track mirrors the road and goes all the way to the main Aberdeen Road - the closer you get the more you hear the traffic!! I like to wander here at a leisurly pace, say hello to the horses and see the beauty that some careless gardener has thrown away.

The most Easterly Woods in Scotland
This is a small coastal woodland hugging the North East Coast. It is unusual because it survives the damaging effects of salt air and harsh winter winds the trees you are likely to encounter here are broad leaf trees, mainly sycamore, beach, oak and ash.
It is privately owned and some what neglected, but you are free to walk here anytime, Scotland has a right of access for anyone to any where but I do object to people using scrambler bikes and quads here, this makes for muddy condition's for walkers and does nothing for the exposed roots.
The Wood Lands Trust have been trying to get ownership in order to look after the woodland and conserve it for the future, but so far the owners have not sold the woods. I often walk my dog here in the woodlands of Cruden Bay and only hope it survives and brings pleasure to ramblers and nature lovers for years to come. I have updated some photos from my most recent walk here - Late spring into early summer sees the woods really come alive.

Dunnotar Castle, 15 miles...
Dunnotar Castle, 15 miles south of Aberdeen at Stonehaven. It is a sensational ruined castle spread out a grassy promontory rising 45m above the sea, originally from the 9th Century and is where Mel Gibson played Hamlet in the film. The Scottish Crown Jewels were hidden here from Oliver Cromwell and the story can be found on display at Edinburgh Castle
Regular buses and trains to Stonehaven from Aberdeen and the South.
Phone for opening details
Its "off the beaten track" now because the main road into Aberdeen from the south bypasses it.
The town is only 15 minutes from the city. Its on the coast, with a decent beach and harbour. Good place to go for a big gulp of fresh North Sea air (that'll put hairs on your chest), a walk, and maybe a drink and some food!
Its a small place, and largely a "dormitory" for Aberdeen now. Not so long ago it was based on farming and fishing, and was the county town for Kincardine - one of Scotland's smallest counties. I think they abolished the county in 1975.
Town also has a (heated) outdoor swimming pool. Those familiar with the rigours of the climate of the north east of Scotland will appreciate the utter futility of this facility.

Cruden Bay's Little Shops
The little shops in the village are all on Main Street, a short little street, where the Cruden Burn runs through. We don't have a lot of shops, we only have four, but it is enough for locals and tourists alike = yes we do get tourists here mostly in the Summer months. The little gift shop is the newest addition to the village it sells local paintings - gifts and sovenirs. Small village Post Offices are under threat of closure - I do hope we get to keep ours, if it closed I would have to go to our nearest town which is eight miles away just to post a postcard overseas. I don't shop much in the village, prices are a bit on the high side, but I do like to use them occasionally. Shopping locally keeps a village alive and it is usually in such places you can catch up with the local news with the shopkeepers BTW if you are a tourist stop by even if it is just for some information or directions - they will be happy to help you!

My Favourite Part of the Village
I love this part of my home village although still in Cruden Bay it is also known by its much older name of Port Erroll. The houses run along one side of the street with their gardens positioned accross the road, there is no room for gardens to the rear of the properties, here you will find more cute cottages set in tiny uphill streets. Being a keen gardener myself I like to take an interest in other peoples gardens, the ones in the pictures are probably my favourites. There are no harsh colours here, houses are mostly subtle pale colours and the gardens mostly have a seafairing theme. My favourite house here is the first one in my pictures, called the Lang Hoose but unfortunately for me it isn't up for sale!

Go for a walk on the golf course
Although the Golf Club is for members only, you have the right to walk here if you wish. I don't play golf but often walk on the course with my dog (you must clean up after them if they foul the grass or paths). The access law is different in Scotland than in England and Wales - here you have the right to walk on most land. A pleasant, if somewhat dangerous place, watch out for the stray golf balls, stick to the paths, enjoy the sea air and the great views. The club house is very modern and has the best views of the beach, we sometimes come here for a meal on a staff night out, it is no problem for non members to visit = most members will be happy to sign you in as their guest = just ask.

Go for a solitary walk on a beach in any season
There are two beaches here in Cruden Bay a little one and a big one seperated by the Water of Cruden, a small burn which flows into the North Sea. This is one of my favourite walking spots, the beach is a mile and a half long so provides a great three mile walk on its pale coloured soft sand. Cross the little wooden bridge named Ladies Bridge and go for a walk in all seasons. I love the sea with its ever changing vista, its spectacular changes in colour all influenced by the weather. I have seen many beaches on my travels, but the one in my home village, with its solitude and changing mood will always remain my favourite.
If you want to see more on Cruden Bay visit the web site
Update just to say I have updated some photos and we got a beach award this year which means the beach is clean and so is the sea = good news indeed.

How time can change things for the better
When we first moved to the village of Cruden Bay the area behind our street was home to a brick making factory known as Cruden Bay Brick & Tile Company. There was a huge brick chimney and red brick buildings scarred the landscape around here. This closed down completely around twenty years ago. The deep clay pits which were left behind have over time collected enough rain water to produce a beautiful little loch complete with a sweet island in the middle - a perfect habitat for ducks and swans. Here you can walk amongst the many wildflowers through long grass (there are no paths) till your hearts content. Local plans are for more housing here - but some one is already in residence - a badgers set has been located - this is a protected animal here in Scotland so hopefully the badger will stay and no houses will appear here to spoil the tranquility.

Have lunch at Crathes Castle
Crathes Castle is just outside Aberdeen (west, I believe). The owner and his wife run the place, and their two daughters are waitresses in the restaurant. I had an excellent lunch there, served by one of the pretty daughters. She told me a bit about the famous ghosts that supposedly haunt the place. More can be found here:
The enclosed gardens are very nice.
To get there, take the A93 from Aberdeen, heading towards Banchory.

Rocky Headlands & Marshy Medows
I often walk on Ward Hill with my dog, to see the cliffs rise from the sea, watch the seas energy as it crashes on the rocks, to feel and taste the salt water on my face as it is carried through the air by strong sea breezes, definately a place to wake me up. The walk can take a long time, as you stop many times to ponder nature and the sounds and sights of the sea. Ward Hill is marshy moorland and I often spot grouse here when Shannon startles them from there hiding places in the grass marshes. In Spring time wild flowers bloom on the hill and on the rocks and cliffs, my favourites are the Sea Pinks. A good place to walk and unwind.
- Hiking and Walking
Speedwells spread their blue carpet
The woods are often very wet & muddy with only a narrow walking path used by horse riders & dog walkers like me. Fortunately for Mother Nature most people stick to the path (except my dog - she doesn't know the country code!) so the wild flowers are left to show off in peace.

A Ruined Castle in a tiny village
Slains Castle sits high up on the sea cliffs and is said to be the place which inspired Bram Stoker to write the classic novel Dracula. Whitby in England has the same claim, but no matter, it is a place where I walk often. It has stood as a ruin for many years, the inside is quite fascinating a bit like walking through history, a place where you can dream and relax.

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor
(GIST; Tumor, Gastrointestinal Stromal; Gastrointestinal Stromal Sarcoma; Gastric Myosarcoma; Gastric Myoblastoma; Gastrointestinal Leiomyosarcoma; Gastrointestinal Smooth Muscle Tumor)
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are a type of tumor that occurs in the digestive system. The digestive system includes the esophagus, liver, stomach, gall bladder, large and small intestines, and rectum. The digestive system processes food to fuel the body and gets rid of waste. About half of GISTs occur in the stomach, but they can occur anywhere in the digestive system.
GISTs are rare. All GISTs are now considered potentially cancerous.
|Digestive System
|GIST may occur anywhere in the digestive system.
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The cause of GISTs is not well understood.
Many people with GIST have a defect in a gene called c-kit. Usually, this gene is not active. However, in people with GIST, the c-kit gene often has a defect and is active, which enables the cells to grow and divide uncontrollably. This may explain why a GIST forms.
Theories about GISTs say that they begin in special cells of the digestive system. These cells are called interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs). They send signals that tell the digestive system to contract, which moves food and liquid through the digestive system.
Risk Factors
GIST is most common in people over age 50. It is rare in children. Risk factors for GIST are mostly unknown. Possible risk factors include:
- Neurofibromatosis—a genetic disorder of the nervous system
- Family history of GIST—rare
GISTs may not cause any symptoms until they grow to a certain size. Symptoms may include:
- Tiredness and weakness
- Fever; sweating at night
- Weight loss
- Feeling full after eating a small amount of food
- Abdominal pain
- Painless lump in the abdomen
- Nausea and/or vomiting
- Blood in stool or vomit
- Problems swallowing
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will also be done.
Your bodily structures will need to be viewed to determine the location and size of the tumor. This can be done with:
- Barium swallow
- Barium enema
- Ultrasound
- Endoscopy
- Colonoscopy
- Computed tomography (CT) scan
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan
- Positron emission tomography (PET) scan
Your bodily tissues may be tested. This can be done with a fine-needle biopsy.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
Surgery is used to treat a GIST that has not spread. Surgery to treat GIST should be done by an experienced cancer surgeon. GISTs are delicate tumors. There may be an increased risk of cancer spreading if the sac surrounding the GIST is opened during surgery.
You may be given medications to shrink the tumor before surgery. For small tumors, laparoscopic surgery may be used.
Even if the tumor is large or growing into other organs, your doctor may use surgery to remove some or the entire tumor. This reduces the chance that the tumor will grow large enough to block the digestive system.
You may be given a medication called a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It may make the tumor shrink or stop growing.

Kasey Burcham, who used to weigh 320 pounds, readying for her first half marathon
Carlsbad Marathon, Half Marathon
What: 22nd annual races covering 26.2 and 13.1 miles, respectively, sponsored by Tri-City Medical Center
When: Jan. 27; marathon starts at 6:15 a.m., half marathon at 7:45 a.m.
Where: Mostly coastal course starting and finishing at Westfield Plaza Camino Real, Carlsbad
Who: Sold-out fields of about 1,500 runners for marathon and 8,500 for half marathon
Kids Marathon Mile: Ages 12 and under; non-competitive one-mile run/walk at 8 a.m. Saturday at Legoland, Carlsbad
Information: carlsbad marathon.com
CARLSBAD With every step Kasey Burcham takes as a runner dedicated to a healthy lifestyle, the Carlsbad resident carries a picture of her former self.
It shows a 30-year-old weighing 320 pounds, carrying the burden of being sedentary and, by her own admission, depressed with her life's direction.
Today, 10 years later, the 5-foot-5 Burcham weighs half that amount, and she's on the verge of running her first half marathon — conveying enthusiasm in her voice, yet not forgetting a past that the photo depicts.
"It's always with me because, 'OK, this is what can happen if you let yourself slip off. Look at how far you've come,' " said Burcham, 40, an office manager for an Encinitas nursery. "I look at myself and don't even recognize myself. It's been a long, hard road that has been so worth it, every ache and pain and missed cheeseburger."
In her mind, too, is a picture of her grandmother, Sarah McGehee, who participated in prominent local distance races almost up until her death from cancer at age 62 in 1991. Burcham is following in her grandmother's footsteps.
The mission for better fitness has led Burcham to this year's Tri-City Medical Center Carlsbad Half Marathon on Jan. 27, with a mostly coastal 13.1-mile course starting and finishing at Westfield Plaza Camino Real mall.
Helping Burcham down the path to her longest race ever has been her involvement in the Lucky 13 program — instituted by Tri-City Medical Center when it became the event's title sponsor three years ago — which offers training to people who have overcome significant health challenges. Through an application process, 13 participants are selected each year from North County.
At the helm of the program is Siene Freeman, a trainer at the Tri-City Wellness Center, who has worked alongside Burcham and the others since late last summer.
"My job is to take all of the participants and to get them to the point where they're believing in themselves as athletes," Freeman said. "That's the mental transition that we try to make. If we have that mentality, we can be successful outside of our physical activities. With Kasey, no questions asked, she's now a true athlete."
Burcham described herself as rail-thin in high school, but she began gaining weight over six years starting at age 21. She was then a single mother who had kicked a drug habit from high school once she learned she was pregnant.
"I was not happy with being heavy, and I'd eat to try to make myself feel better," Burcham said. "I was sedentary. I'd sit there at home and eat. Then I felt worse, so I'd eat some more. I never really knew the proper way of eating, either."

FvP | falco_vs_peach | *^*"The Shinies" Member*^* | Adventure Time Member
PBWSB | PDPSB | /pdpsb/ | PBWSB User Tournament Winner: DiabIo
Karma is good but here is what she suffers: she is too much of a hybrid and doesn't offer enough to make up for being a hybrid (AP Utility champions). If you look at the other "hybrid" AP champions like Zilean, Zyra, Lux or Orianna, what they all have in common is that:
1. VERY safe way to harass
2. Low or ways to lower cooldown
3. Game changing ultimates
Karma is a great champion but in order for her to deal damage, she NEEDS to be up close bringing her in danger (even if she uses a mantra'ed shield burst, she will still need to come up close to dish out damage). On top of that, she just lacks that "umph!" that other AP utility champions bring. Zyra and Ori have ults that can change a team fight to their favor and Zilean can give your adc or bruiser another life!
I think what they need to do is either give her another mantra charge or make it so that her mantra tether has a hard CC attached to it like a silence.
Just because a champion is good doesn't mean they'll win lane. Similarly, just because a champion is bad doesn't mean they'll lose lane.
Any character can sound OP when you list all their assets without mentioning their drawbacks. Obviously there was more to this game than Karma being a crazy good champion. Karma can farm really well, but she has a lot of issues with doing damage in teamfights, something important for an AP carry. That doesn't make much difference if the opposing team has poor co-ordination, though. I'm guessing your team didn't teamfight very well.
Karma, like all champions, can be played well or poorly. When people say that she is the worst champion, it doesn't mean that she will go 0/10 every game. It simply means that all other champions viable for whatever role are a better choice than her. A skilled player will be able to beat an unskilled player with any champion.
tl;dr any champion can win games in solo queue, so you're better off not focusing on who is and isn't a strong champion, and just getting better.

Squall: Then go talk to a wall.

I hate it when people conflate complexity with difficulty.
Trynd might be a simple champion but due to the fact that melee ad carries are pretty crap in league, he's difficult to play at a skillful level.
you have some extreme mental instability issues- Lmaokai
I'm a mobile fountain triangle!
I own everyone in Normals with Karma, but in Ranked I've tried a few times but failed miserably every game. She's good if the enemy team doesn't know what they're doing, but against a competent team there's not much she can really do.

Valencia golfer Alison Lee won the Valencia Country Club Invitational with a 2-over par, 74, her second individual championship in as many weeks.
She also won the Newhall Land Cup last week at Valencia Country Club.
But Lee, the seventh-ranked golfer by the American Junior Golf Association, told The Signal that she will not participate in CIF postseason individual matches. She qualified for the CIF postseason by winning the Newhall Land Cup.
She will, however, participate in the team portions of the CIF postseason. Valencia qualified as a team for CIF postseason play by finishing third in Foothill League.
Hart's Amanda Corr finished second in the Valencia Country Club Invitational with a 5-over par, 77. Hart teammate Kendall Dusenberry was third with a 9-over par 81.

This cozy bed is but one member of a high-tech fleet, whose combined amenities include aromatherapy, water misters, comfortably contoured surfaces, and the option to stand. At the platinum level is the high-pressure Magic bed, which sits upon its royal throne with an open design and high-pressure bulbs for especially swift results. The salon administers spray tans as well. An automated MyMyst booth dresses bodies in a copper layer that suits the client's skin type, and technicians deftly wield Infinity Sun airbrushes, tanning patrons with the same system used by celebrities when preparing for an awards ceremony or hiding from the paparazzi in a sand dune. As visitors achieve their desired hue, they can tune into the room's XM radio stations and peruse a wide selection of lotions, some of which target acne or eczema.27051 McBean Pkwy, Ste 105Santa Clarita, CA US
Santa Clarita Athletic ClubRead MoreNestled within the bustling facility of Santa Clarita Athletic Club, SCA Club Tan puts the finishing touches on newly chiseled bodies with a full arsenal of tanning equipment. Visitors can bask in the quick results of Ergoline high-pressure beds or the precision of Sundash stand-up booths, choosing one of three tanning levels depending on their current skin tone. Alternately, customers can opt for a UV-free experience in a Magic Tan spray booth, which tints skin with a sun-kissed glow that lasts for up to a week. After tanning sessions, a selection of lotions from Cal Tan, Australian Gold, and Designer Skin keep tans vibrant and hydrated.23955 Calgrove Blvd.Santa Clarita, CA US
Sun Diva TanningRead MoreAll the technicians at Sun Diva Tanning undergo rigorous training to be certified by NTTI––the National Tanning Training Institute. They customize full-body airbrush sessions to the individual's unique skin tone, using 95% organic spray-tan formulas free of harmful parabens. And because the solutions are vegan, clients can cultivate a UV-free glow while staying true to their lifestyles, like a giraffe that uses a giraffe-shaped tanning bed without leaving his savannah. The technicians also offer bridal parties specifically catering to brides and their bridesmaids.25678 Canyon Rd.Santa Clarita, CA US
Colour CoutureRead MoreFounded by entrepreneur Monica Blanco, Colour Couture revivifies clients with airbrush tans powered by proprietary tanning solutions. These customized products contain 11% DHA and a base of organic aloe-vera gel—as opposed to harmful chemicals—and are never tested on animals. The technicians who apply them all undergo a thorough training program and the Colour Couture certification they receive prepares them to apply even coats out in the field, whether they are bronzing an entire bridal party or just one friendly ghost looking to fit in with the land of the living.28012 Charles DriveSanta Clarita, CA US

SEC May Have Leaked News of Audit Irregularities
"We're extremely concerned that this kind of leak occurred, that it was inaccurate information that seemed clearly designed to influence the debate on auditor independence rules," said David Barrett, a lawyer representing Arthur Andersen in an interview with Reuters news service.
"This information… doesn't appear to us that it can come from anywhere other than the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission," Barrett continued. The SEC has refused to comment on the matter.
The timing is significant as the SEC is striving to separate [2] auditing and consulting services with its proposed auditor independence rules. Public hearings on the separation of services matter will continue in September.

The popular comedy finds a sequel with Mamas' 'Mannar Mathai Speaking 2'
Mannar Mathai will come once again on January 24. Only this time instead of Urvashi Theatres it will be Urvashi Tours and Travels in the sequel—Mannar Mathai Speaking 2. The film is being helmed by Mamas and has been produced by Siby Thottupuram and Joby Mundamattom.
Mamas has also scripted the sequel. The filming had been delayed due to actor Innocent's illness. Mukesh and Saikumar reprise their roles as Gopalakrishnan and Balakrishnan respectively.
Mamas acknowledges the pressure of making a sequel that matches the original. "It is not like directing an ordinary film. This film is very close to people's hearts." He is glad that though 'five or six' attempts were made previously to make the film, his efforts materialised.
Roping in the leads wasn't tough, say Mamas and Siby. "Innocent was toying with the idea but then he fell ill. After he recovered we approached him again and he was game, he said 'let's do it'. Mukesh just wanted to read the script. All three of them were keen to be part of the project," Siby says. Siby and Joby have produced films such as Kili Poyi and Honey Bee.
The filming was tinged with nostalgia says Mamas. "For all the three actors the film marked the turning point of their careers. This is the reason why veterans are very attached to the project."
In the new edition, Mamas reveals, "though Mannar Mathai has started a travel agency, he still feels passionately about theatre. And he wants to return to theatre."
Vijayaraghavan, the original Ramji Rao, will also feature in the film. So will Biju Menon who appeared in the original. As with the other Mannar Mathai film, this time too the action begins when a girl (Aparna Gopinath) shows up. Biju Menon, Janardanan, Shammi Thilakan and Basil are others in the film. Vishnu Narayan wields the camera, music is by Rahul Raj and lyrics by Nikesh Chembilod.
Keywords: Mannar Mathai, Mannar Mathai Speaking 2, Urvashi Tours and Travels, Mamas, Siby Thottupuram, Joby Mundamattom

Researchers link cyber attacks to China
Tuesday - 1/31/2012, 7:47am EST
Researchers at Symantec say they found more evidence linking attacks on defense contractors to hackers based in China. Symantec says a "staging server" used by the cyber attackers is hosted by one of the country's largest ISPs, based in the Beijing area.
The attacks infect the victim's computer by using PDF documents to exploit an Adobe reader bug.
Adobe completed a patch for the bug in Reader earlier this month.

NBA: No 4th quarter heroics for Kobe in Lakers' loss
Lamar Odom picked up three fouls in the game's first three minutes and ended up with five fouls and three points.
"I turned to my crew and said, 'Do you think he can play through this?"' Jackson said. "And as I was talking to them, he got his third foul. So obviously he couldn't play through that sequence."
Andrew Bynum also had five fouls in between tying his career playoff high with 21 points and swatting seven blocked shots. Artest fouled out with 47 seconds remaining in the game.
Pau Gasol led the Lakers with 25 points, eight rebounds and six of their finals-record 14 blocked shots.

Posted by Larry VenterSenior Director of Retail Solutions for Microsoft Worldwide
Just under a year ago I was fortunate enough to do a tour of Lakeside Park Primary in Vryheid, KwaZulu-Natal. During that tour the headmaster told me of the struggle that the foundation phase children have in learning English – in fact I recall something he said; "when the children stopped using English on the playground, their English results suffered". I left the school a few hours later thinking about how we could do something to improve literacy acquisition. Over the next few months I set about researching PC educational games and the edutainment market, but it was really at the launch of the San Diego Microsoft Store that the penny dropped. At the opening, in June of last year, I saw Kinect™ for Xbox 360® being played by children and parents outside the store and I recall thinking – that's the perfect medium for learners! It's fun, its interactive, it's in English and it's highly collaborative too!
Momentum kicked in with Microsoft's Live@Edu team funding the study, which engaged local educational technology experts, NGO SchoolNet SA, to develop the teacher training materials and conduct training, and also to review, select and purchase appropriate games, install the devices and security systems and manage an independent evaluator, Mindset. Eight teachers from Lakeside Park Primary, a small school in the remote district of Vryheid in rural KwaZulu-Natal, were trained and their classrooms equipped with the interactive Xbox and Kinect gaming platforms and security.I have learnt that in education there are two levers that can be pulled to improve the learning experience – time with teacher, and the quality of the teacher. In the early days of this program we started seeing how teachers were able to use Kinect to drive heightened engagement in the classrooms. One teacher is quoted saying that "the level of interaction I saw on day one would normally take us three to four months to get to". In my mind that equates to more time with the teacher!
We have also seen teachers use the training we provided to start providing creative solutions – or learning opportunities – that benefit the children and improve the teachers delivery too. In the first week we saw a teacher use "avatar creation" as a way to introduce the learners to life skills – by allowing each to design their own avatar. We also saw a teacher use bowling as a numeracy exercise, and even the use of "kinectimals" as a way of constructing sentences – in my mind all that helps to develop the quality of the teachers delivery.
Studies of gaming in education show that learners really engage when teachers design their lesson activities around the topics in games, simply due to the added stimulus. With Kinect, you can play a variety of sport, edutainment and instructive games using body movements and voice. Sensors replicate your motions via an on-screen avatar – your 'mirror image'. Change was afoot from the word 'go'.Today we officially announced the program in South Africa and it has drawn a lot of excitement from national and local educators and politicians. My hope is that we can use the findings of this program and develop solutions that will continue to transform the teaching and learning experience across Africa.
These are the kinds of solutions we need. In this technologically advanced age we continue to teach using methods that are outdated and uninteresting for the learners. I am currently involved in a project which takes rural learners from non-viable schools and enroll them in urban boarding schools. These learners have limited English skills and exposure to technology. I would like to visit Lakeside Primary, the principal being an old friend of mine, to investigate the possibility of using this technology in the project.

|Half Baths
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 - 7 nights
Linden House is nestled in the woods behind The Warren Dunes State Park. It features 3 bedrooms upstairs. The newly renovated Master bedroom/bath has one king bed, full futon, skylights, sundeck, mini fridge, in a beautiful forest setting. Second bedroom has a queen bed, desk, large closet space. The third bedroom has a full-size bed w/desk, closet, woodsy view. The queen and full bedrooms share 2nd full bath on second floor. First floor has comfy living with wood-burning stove, all-season porch with futon (can doubles as a 4th bedroom) with entertainment center. Fully equipped kitchen has dining space for eight. Half bath on first floor. The screen porch off the kitchen also has dining space for 8 or more. It's the most popular room in the house! Large yard features fire pit and swing for the kids.
Activities:: Swimming at Warren Dunes or other great beaches in the area. Hiking at the Dunes, Grand Mere State Park, lots of other venues. Cross-country ski out the door to the park. Captain Mike's fun park is minutes from the cottage. Four great wineries are within 10 miles (Little Sonoma Valley). Fan-tas-tic biking on little-traveled country roads. Great restaurants, antique shops, outlet mall, casinos and Heston Steam Museum.. the list goes on.
Area:: Sawyer is between New Buffalo and St. Joe and close to other great towns, but only 90 minutes from Chicago. Close to Saugatauk and Holland. You can make an easy day trip to Notre Dame for football and back. Lots of options.
We live in Florida but have family in Chicago and wanted a place where we could all meet and just relax for a few days over spring break... a friend told us about this cottage and we LOVED it... so warm and inviting.. with wonderful areas for all of us to be together... We particularly liked the screened back porch where we all met every morning for breakfast and coffee.. the beach is so close and we loved walking there to see the lake.... it was still chilly but warm enough to catch a few rays and then, we went home and had a bonfire IN OUR OWN BACKYARD.. loved that... this is a charming, updated home that folks have put alot of care into and made our stay fantastic... Claire and Pete Metz
What a great space! We vacationed here with 10 adults and 2 babies under 1. Although the kitchen and living room aren't huge, with the screened in porch spaces and the 4th bedroom, it was plenty big for all of us. The house itself is clean and everything we needed was there: beach towels, beach toys, cooking utensils, etc. The showers are great and the master bedroom is a dream. We ate dinner in the screened in porch every night and it was perfect! The location is good and the street is very quiet-only a short drive to several great beaches and the dunes (you could even walk if you were up for it). Overall this is a great space and I know we will return in the future!
We had two families in our group with a total of 11 people. Overall, our experience was positive. We enjoyed the bright kitchen and cozy screen porch, as well as the main bedroom. The linens were clean and most things were in working order. The master bedroom has a very nice comfortable bed. We highly recommend cherry beach as a quiet beach with only a short walk to the water. The innkeeper graciously provided the pass for this place and provided good customer service in general. We very much liked the surrounding wineries and eating at Tabor Hill Restaurant. Why we give this place only 3 stars is: The listing did not adequately describe the home in this way: It is old. I mean, the floors creak, the doors do not all shut well, and two bathrooms lack locking doors. The bikes provided were in awful shape. The greenery surrounding the place was hugely overgrown. The living room lacked adequate lighting, and the two other bedrooms were very small and old. The washer and dryer were in the garage, which was stacked with misc items. We were slightly disappointed and expected a bit more because of the price we had paid. However, we would recommend this place and also stay again, especially if the home was more updated and taken care of.
We had a great time in Sawyer and this house worked out just great for our group. The house was very clean. Plenty of towels and storage space for a long stay. It is a Great location that requires a medium walk through the forest to the beach (which we enjoyed). The back porch worked out well for grilling and building bonfire. We really love the screen porch where we spent most of the time. Also, the owners were very easy to deal with...
Our expectations were totally met and we would highly recommend this to others.
Wonderful experience. Linden house is a wonderful home with lots of room. Warren Dunes is very close and beautiful especially at sunset. We will definitely add this to our yearly outing. Looking forward to returning in the future.
Three of us rented the house initially for 5 weeks while we worked in the area. We then extended our stay and additional 10 days due to additional work. The owner was easy to deal when we were initially setting up the lease and also during the 10 day extension at the end of the job (we were day-to-day on the final date and she was flexible enough to understand that we did not know the exact end-date of our rental).
In addition, the house was clean and had all of the amenities that we needed. I also dealt with the owner about the cable and WiFi on the first day and she had these resolved immediately.
All-in-all a very positive experience and we plan on coming back.
Linden House is situated next the Warren Dunes State Park. We are centrally located between New Buffalo and St. Joseph. Just a short drive to several beaches, casinos, outlet mall shopping and wineries. This is cycling country! Little-traveled roads provide a great cycling day from 10-100 miles. In winter cross-country skiing right outside the door into the state park... hiking... swimming... fun in the sun! Art festivals, concerts in the park and at the beach!
