Francesco Guidolin inspired by Foxes' unlikely title challenge
Francesco Guidolin plans to draw inspiration from his friend Claudio Ranieri's title charge at Leicester as he attempts to steer Swansea away from relegation danger.
Leicester have opened up an unlikely five-point lead at the top of the Barclays Premier League ahead of their crunch visit to third-placed Arsenal on Sunday.
It is a big weekend at the top with second-placed Tottenham travelling to Manchester City in fourth, but Guidolin is more focused on the battle at the bottom with his Swansea side hoping to put more distance between themselves and the drop zone when they host Southampton.
Swansea are currently 16th and Guidolin feels they can draw encouragement from Leicester's remarkable rise from the bottom to the top over the last 12 months.
"I hope this (Leicester's situation) is of comfort to us," Swansea head coach Guidolin said.
"I am so happy for Claudio because this period is fantastic for him.
"Two or three days after I arrived here Claudio called me to say 'Welcome'.
"He told me to say it will be fantastic to work in the Premier League and I will keep talking to him.
"It is a phrase of Claudio that what Leicester have done is not a miracle because luck is something you can take.
"Two or three years ago I heard this phrase and I think it is correct.
"Leicester have played very well and have terrific organisation and enthusiasm, but we can take this luck as well."
Swansea are unbeaten in three games since Guidolin, the former Parma and Udinese coach, took charge at the Liberty Stadium.
Those five points have moved Swansea four clear of 18th-placed Norwich, but it could have been so much better but for equalisers being conceded in 1-1 draws against West Brom and Crystal Palace.
Guidolin says he has been working hard on the training ground to remedy a set-piece problem which has seen the three goals conceded during his tenure all come from corners.
"I am happy with my team, but I would be more happy if we had won last week," Guidolin said.
"We played well against Palace but we must be clinical.
"It's also important to be more focused on set-pieces and we have been working on that.
"We know this will be a difficult match because Southampton is a good team and in a good period.
"But I see my players work hard every day and I am confident."
Swansea have 27 points from 25 matches and Guidolin believes a point on average from the last 13 games will secure their top-flight status.
"We need 40 points (to stay up), but I don't know when we will get there," Guidolin said.
"We have to see match by match and be concentrated for the next game.
"We must win four or five matches and that will not be easy in the Premier League.
"Working hard, from the players and staff, will see us arrive at 40 points, but I am only thinking about Southampton now because that is the priority."

Dreaming of someone you don't recognize can be a clue to someone you are about to meet. Depending on what you did together in the dream, pieces of the puzzle will come together. It could be a person that you find yourself falling in love with, or a new friend outside the circle of friends that you have thought long and hard of abandoning.
On the negative side, it could be a stalker you are unaware of but have seen before and now are subconsciously recalling seeing them from a distance multiple times.

SEARHC won the Green Certified Cleaning Program Award and the Alicia Roberts Medical Center won the Environmental Program Award, which were presented in July. Ginnaty was nominated for awards as Best Pioneer and Rookie of the Year.
The awards were for the use of Operating System 1, also known as (OS1)?, which is a standardized housekeeping system used at hundreds of businesses around the country. Some of the other award nominees included Boeing, Sandia National Laboratory, Hill Air Force Base, Yale University, the University of Massachusetts, the University of North Carolina and the University of Texas.
"Don 'Nick' Nickerson, the building attendant supervisor at ARMC, and his staff really won these awards," Ginnaty said.
Ginnaty said he found out about (OS1)? at a trade show and decided to try it out at ARMC as a pilot project. Officials from (OS1)? came to Klawock to do a baseline audit last August, and ARMC was only in compliance on 38 percent of the 225 standards.
By June's second inspection, ARMC was 88 percent in compliance and outranked several places that had used the system for more than 10 years.
Ginnaty said the program is expanding to all of SEARHC's remote facilities.
"It's just been unbelievable," ARMC clinic administrator Cindy Gamble says of the change. "From what I've seen it's a very organized approach to cleaning. I was grossed out, frankly, by conventional cleaning. I love (OS1)? and the way everything's color-coded and they have different cleaning supplies for the bathroom. There's no cross-contamination. It just makes total sense."
Ginnaty said (OS1)? has specific job cards for each employee and a team approach is used to clean so nothing is missed. He said (OS1)? is what it takes to make a building clean and safe for our staff and patients, even though it uses fewer chemicals and less water than conventional systems.
"It's also less expensive and provides several training opportunities for supervisors and employees. It's all based on scientific data," Ginnaty said. "It's so much different that anything else out there."

According to a report from the Pew Internet Project 80% of U.S. internet consumers seek health information online, making it the third most popular activity after email and search engines.
The common goal for all hospitals is patient activation, engagement and education. Marketers need to understand what patients are sharing, how they are sharing it and why.
A survey conducted in June 2011 by Minneapolis marketing research firm Russell Herder "Seeking Social Solace: How Patients Use Social Media To Disclose Medical Diagnoses Online" gives us some answers.
40% of the medical conditions that were disclosed by patients online in 2010 were cancer-related, 16% diabetes and 5% were related to sexually transmitted diseases, according to a research study by Russell Herder.
Unsurprisingly, breast cancer patients had the same number of online self-disclosures as prostate cancer, colon cancer, leukemia, bone cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, lung cancer, skin cancer, pancreatic cancer, testicular cancer and brain cancer all combined.
But where do patients share their personal health stories?
The research found that blogs were the most popular platform to self-disclose diagnoses with 51% of patients using them to share their stories. This was followed by online message boards at 30%, Facebook and Twitter at meager 7%.
What can hospital marketers do to facilitate?
The internet has changed how patients get access to healthcare information and social media is changing how they seek comfort from each other during this trying times.
As healthcare marketers, we must ensure that we offer our patients, not just great care but, access to online forums so they can continue to heal after the leave our hospitals.

It was just that I recalled a news item from around the introduction of 1.2 that related about this clever copper trick Commodore had thought of. firstname.lastname@example.com (Chris Hopps) wrote: > > This improvement, first incorporated in KS 1.2 made the display much > > more stable in event of crashes and such. > > Hmm I guess I don't understand what it has to do with crashes but I > don't/didn't plan on having the kernel crash too often. I was a bit vague here: I meant crashes of AmigaOS. 1.2 was lots better than 1.1. The old way, if vbl interrupt vectors were trashed then the display became unusable. Not that I ran 1.1 longer than I had to, of course... (aside: this ddb thing is interesting. I met its prompt yesterday when I did a swapinfo and /vmunix was not the currently running kernel. I should have tried it a bit more before having it 'c'ontinue.) > > And, given the fact that the NTSC/PAL test up to 1.3 gave the wrong result > > at least 1/50 of the time, this may possibly explain the display glitches > > I sometimes get at the bottom of my screen - they are suspiciously > > near the NTSC/PAL or the line 511/line 512 demarcation. > > Dunno about this. But its not becuase of the above. All copper list > in the kernel wait at *least* until vp > 12 so strobing before then is > not a problem and as you can see from above thats the only time I > strobe. Have I overlooked something? The problem for NTSC/PAL tests was that for PAL the vertical counter can overflow the 1-byte register. For NTSC the maximum value is 262 I think and they cheat a bit to keep it at 255 max. (somehing like not counting all the lines in the blanking range) For PAL the maximum value is about 312 I think, and the counter simply wraps around to 0. There must be a way to detect this, but as I said my HRM is at home. Somehow the PAL/NTSC test takes advantage of this difference. Anyway, I can show you a program that opens a screen (under 1.3) that is really 256 lines tall but only shows the top 213 lines. So apparently this PAL stuff is hard to get right ;-) They fixed it in 3.0 - but that one seems to have other problems. > > -Olaf. > Chris. -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert D787B44DFC896063 4CBB95A5BD1DAA96 \X/ There are no lemurs in this post email@example.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hcg Injections
When it comes to dieting, the majority of people go for salads since they are nutritious and delectable. It is the kind of meal that is certainly permitted by most, if not all, diet plans on the market.
Salads may also be accepted by the at any time well-liked hCG food plan. In this post, I'll instruct you distinctive salad recipes which can be permitted in Stage two in the hCG eating plan. For the people of you who don't know, the stage 2 diet program may be the actual diet program stage where you eat only 500 calories per day, along with injecting yourself with the hCG hormone.
Now, this hCG diet regime accredited salads are safe to eat every day as they only pack a few calories, but they can be definitely packed with a lot of vitamins and minerals. Plus, they also pack a lot of flavors as well.
So, without further ado, here are some hCG diet plan Authorised salads/dressings:
Sweet N Sour Vinaigrette Salad Dressing
1-3 tablespoons of raw apple cider vinegarSaltPepper1 small packet of natural sweetener (Stevia and Xylitol are well-liked choices)Directions
Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl and then drizzle it over a salad of spinach and other hCG diet program accredited vegetables
The hCG diet plan is a very well-liked diet regime in modern times. But, the majority of people only know about the section 2 of the diet regime which is where they will eat only 500 calories a day and injecting yourself with the hormone in the process.
But, little did they know that there are a number of phases in the actual hCG food plan. Today, we are going to talk about the first period of the diet regime known as the Loading Stage or the Gorging days.
Phase 1 in the diet regime is centered on eating a lot of food. It truly is not only encouraged but it can be required that you do so before you actually start doing the period two from the hCG diet. In fact, you have to eat a lot of foods that you just want to stop eating that much and get on with the period two of the food plan.
There are three important reasons why the first section on the diet plan is so important. First, you need to have a lot of reserved fats. The hCG hormone converts stored fats into energy that is why it is actually of paramount importance that you restock your fat stores before you embark on the actual hCG diet regime (or stage 2 and 3).
The second reason why you need to load up before you start phase 2 is that the hCG hormone or drops need time to set in and take effect. Remember that the hormone will be responsible for giving you the energy that you need every day; even when you're only eating a total of 500 calories per day (Phase two).
The third and last important reason why the loading section is necessary is that folks who actually went through the loading and gorging stage report much better results than people who don't.
There are underlying reasons as to why which is. First, people today who underwent the loading stage have a better time adjusting to section 2 from the hCG diet. Since they were acclimated to eat a lot before starting the eating plan, many people actually held on to the calorie restricted diet regime until they have reached their target weight.
Second, since you've gorged up a lot of foods, there is a good psychological effect to that. Since your cravings are satisfied before trying the diet plan, food cravings are less likely to develop for individuals who have gorged up before the hCG diet regime stage two.
Now that you know the three important reasons, it truly is important to expound on those people three. You will gain weight when you eat a lot but that may be why the loading period is important. The loading period only lasts for two days. The gained weight will just disappear once you start with the 500 calories per day diet and injecting yourself with the hormone.
So, if you want to try the hCG diet program, always remember to go through the loading stage. You will lose more weight than these who don't and you will also see quicker results. So go try the hCG food plan and start losing weight!

Thanks Jason! This is gonna be fun!!!

4. Mike Ralph
5. Ed Call
6. Nick Clayton
7. Fifafu
8. Benjy
9. MayFlyAviator
10. TallFlyGuy
The league is set with 10 teams.
we can go to 12 but would need 2 more to join
Damn, wish I saw this earlier. If you still want to go to 12 teams, I'm in.
I remember the "lame trade guy" as someone trying to improve his team...on the cheap. I think he is in again and I'm glad about that.
Talk all the crap you want, but back it up by staying active with your team. Don't leave a bunch of broke down or bye players on your roster.
Don't set scori g to make kickers and kickoff/punt return players so damn valuable. If they don't get to the end one we should not even recognize them by name.
Nick, you dropped me like a bad habit in the final last year...being first loser has left me hungry.
Likely auto drafting and taking my chances on luck, it is a holiday (FAMILY) weekend. I'm trying to keep my priorities straight!
Thanks DeckDog, for setting this up again. I'm in for a low budget entry fee and/or flies. Agree of flies are involved then they should be in early. Maybe in by the trade deadline or the commish benches your full roster and locks your team.
I agree.... that guy sucked!
I would prefer free plus flies.
I will try and be on the live draft.
Thanks JD, I appreciate you doing this again.
Good luck everyone! I think it is a come-back year for me!
we got #11 and need one more team to even the league out at 12 teams,,,,,,, if you want the last spot, then post with your email address so i can send you the league invite
If any of you are concerned because you have never played fantasy football...Yahoo makes it simple for the new guys to succeed. It's not tough at all. You don't have to study. It will have a list and the drafted guys will disappear leaving the next highest rated guys on the board for you to choose from.
If you like football you'll love Yahoo fantasy football.
One more. Let's go!
Mike Munro = Team #11
We need 1 more team!
If we can't find a twelfth I would let someone co-manage my team - not sure how we'd figure out access and comms but happy to talk through it.
We could call our team the gynolotre-men. Classy huh?
Call up your friends, your neighbors, your friends' neighbors if you have to. Let's get our 12th Man going and muster up a 12th team!
(I had to miss fantasy football last year and I'm dying to play again. Please don't leave me hangin' )
Sorry about the fuzzy math on my earlier post - crushing headache today. At any rate, my idea was that if we couldn't find a twelfth in time, we could drop a team to get down to 10 and let two people co manage one team. I would be ok doing that if need be
Jason, build a 12th and we can find someone to run it.
Jason change it to a 12 team league then get the 11th guy signed up and then open the league to the public. Some random person will jump on it. You need to make that spot available atleast a couple of hours before the draft.
you could make a throwaway yahoo account and just have it auto draft and give the team to someone later. im sure when people get back from the holliday weekend someone would be up to manage it.
I can't as I am out with my family and may have to draft using my phone
One of you can email me an email for a team

Pet sitter's home catches fire (w/video)
May 15, 2014 at 12:15 a.m.
Victoria's "fairy dog mother" experienced her worst nightmare Thursday when a fire broke out in her home.
Heidi Uresti-Sanchez, a professional pet sitter, was not at home when the fire began. After being called, she rushed home to find Victoria firefighters administering oxygen to four dogs and a cat in front of her house in the 1700 block of North Vine Street.
Firefighters could not resuscitate one black house cat named Ben. The cat that died belonged to Uresti-Sanchez's family.
No humans were injured in the house fire.
Uresti-Sanchez's neighbor, Rachel Trevino, was alerted to the fire when a passer-by knocked on her door.
"She said, 'I think your neighbor's house is on fire,'" Trevino said.
Trevino called 911 and Uresti-Sanchez to notify them of the fire at 9:20 a.m. Uresti-Sanchez told Trevino there were animals in the home.
"She said get in there," Trevino said.
Together, Trevino and the passer-by broke the front windows of the home in an attempt to save the animals.
The fire department arrived shortly afterward, Trevino said.
Trevino described Uresti-Sanchez as "the truest of animal lovers."
Shaken at the scene, Uresti-Sanchez declined to comment Thursday.
The fire department found four dogs and two cats in the home, Assistant Chief Tracy Fox said. In addition to the cat that died, firefighters think a seventh animal escaped out the back of the house.
"My heart truly goes out to them," said Erin Hatley, a family friend and client of Uresti-Sanchez. "They're just a sweet, sweet, giving family that would literally drop anything for anybody else."
Uresti-Sanchez refers to the pets in her care as her "furbabies," Hatley said. And close friends of Uresti-Sanchez call her "the fairy dog mother."
Firefighters administered oxygen to the cats and dogs with special masks designed for pets.
No visible flames were present when the fire department arrived. It appeared the fire began in the kitchen area. Damage to the home and the cause of the fire have not yet been determined, Fox said.

BOULDER — The contract between the University of Colorado and Wyclef Jean — the former Fugees member who is headlining a free, students-only concert at the Coors Event Center today — prohibits the performer from mentioning marijuana or 4/20 during the show.
The agreement, dated March 1 and released Thursday by CU's student government, directs Jean to avoid "making direct references to marijuana and other illegal drugs or make 4/20 related remarks, as this is a university-sponsored event."
The contract indicates that CU will pay Jean a flat fee of $80,000 on the day of the concert. Student leaders previously have said the entire concert would cost about $150,000.
The concert was announced by the university in early April, along with a series of measures intended to curtail the annual 4/20 smoke-out.

Young Irish cycling fan apologises for controversial Giro selfie with collapsed Marcel Kittel
A young Irish cycling fan has apologised to Marcel Kittel for taking a selfie with him after he had collapsed to the ground following his Giro d'Italia stage win.
David McCarthy has been criticised on social media and cycling websites for the photo and has apologised for his actions following the stage in Dublin.
The youngster sent a message to Irish cyclist and Irish Independent diarist Nicolas Roche to apologise for the poorly timed photograph.
Roche posted the message on twitter saying: "I know @davidmccarthy12 he is a nice kid. He has just send me this post to tweet. @marcelkittel."
The message reads: "To marcel and the people I offended by taking the selfie I apologise. I did not think the photo would cause such hate towards me and cause offence.
"I got excited after the finish to see marcel and wanted a photo and in hindsight looking back I understand the time and place was complete wrong. My sincere apologies."
I know @davidmccarthy12 he is a nice kid. He has just send me this post to tweet. @marcelkittel pic.twitter.com/SYhpeHhsZw— Nicholas Roche (@nicholasroche) May 13, 2014
There was massive disappointment for Kittel today, the winner of successive stages in Belfast and Dublin, was forced to withdraw from the Giro d'Italia before the resumption in Italy due to illness.
The 26-year-old Giant-Shimano rider from Germany did not start the 112-kilometre fourth stage from Giovinazzo to Bari in southern Italy following Monday's transfer day from Ireland due to a fever.
Kittel told his team's official website, teamgiantshimano.com: "I am very disappointed about leaving the Giro after such a strong start in good condition, but I do not feel healthy and I am not in the position to start the race in this condition.
"I want to thank my team for their support these past few days and wish them the best of luck for the rest of the race."

The Gluten-Free Menu Swap theme this week is meals inspired by other Gluten-Free Blogs or Cookbooks. Visit Angela's Kitchen for the roundup of gluten-free menus. Angela chose this theme at a perfect time for me because my kids are home on fall break this week, and I'm hoping to have some help in the kitchen to try some new recipes. More importantly, I was sent review copies of three new gluten-free cookbooks. Each one of them offers great gluten-free recipes with a different focus.
You may have seen the new cookbook Paleo Cooking from Elana's Pantry. Elana's new book is all Paleo recipes, so if you follow a paleo diet or are just wanting to try the paleo diet, this is a great book to get started. You'll find plenty of gluten-free recipes to please the whole family in it — from bagels and coffee cake to salmon burgers, brownies and ginger ale. What I like most about Elana's recipes is that they often have few ingredients, uncomplicated cooking methods, and taste delicious. We've enjoyed the Rosemary Lemon Chicken and the "Peanut Butter" Ice Cream recipes in it.
I've also recently received The 163 Best Paleo Slow Cooker Recipes. As you can guess from the title, it is full of gluten-free recipes for the Slow-Cooker. I haven't tried many recipes from the book, yet. I'm kind of a throw-everything-in-the-pot kind of cook for slow-cookers. Many of the recipes have additional steps of searing meats or preparing sauces on the stove. I don't always have the time or patience for that, so I've been a little reluctant to try them. What I do love about the cookbook is the variety of recipes (including desserts!) and the cooking tips included for each recipe.
Easy Everyday Gluten-Free Cooking is the largest of the three cookbooks, with 250 gluten-free recipes to try. My goodness, where do I start!? Well, I started with the Battered Fried Fish, and it was great! The whole family loved it, so we're making it again this week. The batter is made using whipped egg whites and cornstarch, which makes a very thick batter and stays on the fish wonderfully. Just be sure to place the fried fish pieces in a warm oven to keep it crisp while you fry up the rest of it. We used tilapia, but the author also suggests sole or haddock fillets. I'm also looking forward to trying the Almond Sponge Cake recipe.
Celiac Family's Menu This Week:
Monday — Chicken Tacos, Guacamole
Tuesday — Chinese-Style Braised Pork in the Slow Cooker from The 163 Best Paleo Slow Cooker Recipes, serving with Roasted Cauliflower and Broccoli
Wednesday — Apple Pancakes from Easy Everyday Gluten-Free Cooking and Breakfast Sausage from Paleo Cooking from Elana's Pantry
Thursday — Grilled Cilantro Lime Chicken (inspired by Elana's Lemon Rosemary Chicken from Paleo Cooking from Elana's Pantry)
Friday — Battered Fish from Easy Everyday Gluten-Free Cooking
Saturday — Thai Chicken Pizza from Angela's Kitchen
Sunday — leftovers
Want to join Gluten-Free Menu Swap?
- For this week's roundup, visit Angela's Kitchen.
- Next week's roundup will be back at Celiac Family. The theme will be Mushrooms.
- The Gluten-Free Menu Swap Page has the current schedule of themes and hosts. If you'd like to host a future week, please send me an email (celiacfamily[AT]gmail[DOT]com) with your preferred date and theme.

When I first started using Twitter about a year ago, I would follow anyone who first followed me. As Twitter has grown, I have realized that I need to be more discerning so that I don't get overwhelmed. Here's a brief description of my thought process.
I tend to automatically follow:
- people I've met in real life
- students of mine at Georgia Southern University
- PR students & faculty from other universities
- people who live in the Savannah or Statesboro (GA) areas
I'll visit my Followers page and hover my mouse over a name. If there's no real name or any bio at all, I usually don't look further. I'll read a bio if it's there. If in your bio you're promising me things that I'd hear in a late-night infomercial, it's unlikely I'll follow you. Things in a bio that may intrigue me include:
- public relations or social media
- photography
- Auburn University
- Presbyterian
- autism or Asperger's syndrome
Though it's not hypercritical, I prefer engaging in conversations on Twitter with people who use their real photos. It's nice to have a name and a face together.
If I make it as far as looking at your most recent tweets:
- Is there a mix of original comments, @replies, retweets and links? (If all the tweets are of one type, I usually don't follow.)
- Do I see @replies to people I know?
- Do I think I'll learn something from you?
- Are many of your tweets of a positive nature (not whiny)?
- Do you make me laugh?
If I haven't followed you, and you would like me to, it's generally a good idea to send me an @barbaranixon so that I know you're interested in engaging in conversation with me. And if it seems like I've been talking in a foreign language here, take a look at A Twitter Lexicon.
So, what's your strategy? How do you decide whom to follow?

I follow people who are interesting: who share great ideas or who express themselves in an entertaining way. I follow people I know personally. I follow those in my own industry. I also follow those who may become clients. I follow people who frequently Tweet about key words I care about.
I'm also careful to follow people who have views I don't agree with or who have values I do not share. I want to learn to communicate, understand, and to foster respect. I get a little concerned that if I only follow people I agree with, I'm not going to learn much.
There's a much longer list of "those I will not follow." I won't follow those who have:
10 or fewer posts — and are following a zillion people.
No avatar or profile — and are following zillion people.
Any avatar or profile overly focused on sex and violence.
A tendency to only push headlines instead of interacting.
Posted more than 3 times about MLM or affiliate programs.
There's probably more I will not follow — I tend to "know 'em when I see 'em!" (For example: a woman's name + a string of numbers — that Twitter handle is usually an automatic "block"!)
I really like this post!
Like you, I used to automatically follow anyone who followed me but have since learned that this is not a very good strategy.
I'll usually follow anyone who I interact with on my personal blog, my PR blog, other PR students and professors and people whose bio's mention social media, PR, TV, fashion, and other things of that nature. If they don't have a bio, I usually don't follow.
I also look to see what they are talking about because I like a mix of personal tweets and ones that provide links and useful information. I hate reading tweets from people who are constantly spewing information. It's overwhelming and I like to connect on a personal level as well as a professional level.
I really liked this blog post, and may do a post on PRowl's blog similar to this and will be sure to link to you!

Inside a small trailer backstage at Coachella yesterday, Omar Rodriguez-Lopez was trying to cool down after his first performance of the day, and the dressing room wasn't much cooler than the triple-digit heat outside. Rodriguez-Lopez pulled double duty on both festival weekends in Indio, California, playing lead guitar with the reunited At the Drive-In on the main stage just hours after a full set on bass with Le Butcherettes, the fiery garage-punk band whose next album he is currently producing in Los Angeles.
Rodriguez-Lopez is a full permanent member of Le Butcherettes, and during the trio's raging 45-minute set, he stood back with a smile as Guadalajaran singer-guitarist Teri Gender Bender roared through anxious pop hooks with sharp edges, at one point tossing a big Casio keyboard into the moshing crowd. New drummer Lia Braswell slammed a heavy beat from stage left and fans waved Mexican flags, as they would again later for At the Drive-In. Soon after, Rodriguez-Lopez sat with Le Butcherettes for several rounds of bottled water and talked with Rolling Stone about their busy Coachella week.
Is playing two sets a day a challenge?
Rodriguez-Lopez: No, it's a blessing. Go play music all day? I should be so lucky. Last weekend we played, then we cooled off, we ate, and then just when you really feel like you're winding down, "Oh, it's time to play." It's perfect.
At the Drive-In and Le Butcherettes are both pretty intense bands.
Rodriguez-Lopez: To a certain degree I'm removed from both of them. In this band, I'm the producer, and I'm supporting what they're doing. And with At the Drive-In, those are songs I wrote 13 years ago, and I'm seeing fans that aren't even old enough to have seen us play.
How are the accommodations different between Le Butcherettes and At the Drive In?
Rodriguez-Lopez: Over there we have two big rooms and two buses, but we hang out in a little car with our friends. My family is here. I keep my life pretty simple. I stay away from all this stuff. I don't relate to musicians. I relate to people that love playing music, and generally speaking those are two different things, especially when you get into a scene. When you buy into this whole industry and big money and accommodations and a certain type of treatment, you start thinking this is reality. It's happened to my friends, it's happened to me. It's not reality. We just get to play music.
So as the producer, you weren't horrified to see Teri throw her Casio keyboard into the crowd?
Rodriguez-Lopez: No, I thought it was incredible.
I've never seen a keyboard thrown into the crowd before.
Gender Bender: I used to do that all the time in Mexico. I felt a little frustration because the cable wasn't working. So it was like giving up. 'Bye-bye, keyboard. It's your time to go.'
Rodriguez-Lopez: I saw her touch the cable and it was going, khhh! khhh! khhh! Oh shit, it's gone.
Is that the one you're making the record with?
Gender Bender: Yeah, but we already used it up. Next.
How do you play when it's this hot?
Gender Bender: I feel like I play with less energy. I felt sometimes like the air would come up and escape me. Don't leave me here! Come back! I'd get a little light-headed. Play through it, play through it. I don't want to pass out right now.
What's the difference between playing a tent and the big stage?
Rodriguez-Lopez: You're more removed. On the big stages, the people are so far away. When you're on the big stage, it's more of an idea about the people. It's a big mass of people out there. Strange.
Leading up to Coachella, you've been spending your days recording with Le Butcherettes and at night rehearsing with At the Drive-In. You've been busy.
Rodriguez-Lopez: That's how it usually is. Recording, playing, doing other projects and stuff. I'm blessed with the opportunity to do whatever I want for a living, so what else do I want to do? When I had a job, all I did was save up and wait until fuckin' five o'clock to get out and do what I wanted to do. I couldn't wait to get out to put on my headphones. Now the space that was occupied by earning a living is occupied by the same thing I was doing for fun. It's a paid hobby.
Is it different touring with this band than with a bunch of guys in At the Drive-In or the Mars Volta?
Rodriguez-Lopez: Of course. It's a whole different sensibility. The gender thing is pretty obvious. It's not only a bunch of guys, but it's a bunch of guys who have been there, done that. It's a whole different attitude when you're with people who are excited and looking at the landscape for the first time. I tend to live my life more along those lines. I still find things exciting and brand new.
You drove up to the festival this morning, rather than ease into town last night. Does that add or subtract from the experience?
Gender Bender: I think it adds, because you have the fear of missing the show. 'Why did I leave this morning? We should have left last night! We should have been more prepared.' Last-minute thinking. But it adds more excitement, like an action movie.
Rodriguez-Lopez: [Laughs] It's exciting, our lives. We drove on the Interstate – it's like an action movie.

Before I forget, I want to write this down…
When I was young, my mom mentioned to me in passing that I could have been a princess/lady (??). Somehow that became a little joke I would tell occasionally, saying that I'm 2% princess. I also knew that I had Manchurian heritage from my mother's side.
This week when my professor said I looked Han Chinese, I wasn't so sure so I called up my mom to check. She confirmed my memory that our family had a lot of Manchu from her side (my grandma being full Manchu and my grandpa being half). Since bloodlines go through the men, we were technically considered Han because my grandpa's dad was the Han in the family.
I also clarified the whole royalty situation (as best I could) and learned that my maternal grandmother's paternal grandfather was the last generation that was supported by the emperor. What does that mean? Basically, he was closely related enough to the emperor that he was taken care of by the ruler. This was for a Manchurian dynasty called Huang zhu, if I heard correctly. So if they had hung in there another 100 years, I could be living a cush life right now. Per my calculations, that makes me up to 6.25% royal. 😛
Now imagine my amusement when one of my friends recently likened me to Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time… I know nothing about the show or about her, but I'm happy to embrace the title! 😉

We were riding back to the house after an amazing party my boy threw. As we were driving I saw a naked chick along the highway trying to hitch a ride, so JBrown and I stoped. This chick was fucking hot! She wanted a ride to the beach but we had different plans for her. We asked her if she was down to come back to our pool, and she was fucking thrilled. That's where JBrown tore that beautiful ass up! Vick was all for it and an amazing freak

Robbie Kempson
Insisting that all Springboks play domestically is the best way to "restore pride" in the national jersey, says former Springbok prop and pundit Robbie Kempson.
Speaking on SuperSport's "RWC Master Plan" programme which has run during the current Rugby World Cup in the United Kingdom, the 1998 Tri-Nations title-winning front-ranker said he backed the decision by Argentinean rugby bosses to make it compulsory for all players wishing to represent the Pumas next season to play for the new Buenos Aires-based franchise in remodelled Super Rugby.
"It will help galvanise a side that will produce for them, going forward."
But the 37 Test-cap Kempson added that he felt South Africa had "missed a trick" through their policy for the latest Rugby World Cup, which allowed for squad inclusion of 7 players who are exclusively contracted to overseas franchises – Fourie du Preez, Zane Kirchner, Bryan Habana, Morné Steyn, Ruan Pienaar, Francois Louw and Schalk Brits.
Southern Kings stand-in coach Robbie Kempson feels his charges require a major "mind-shift" or they won't convert close defeats into victories.
The Kings have been "competitive" in back-to-back outings against Super Rugby franchises – losing 21-36 to the Cheetahs last week, before running the Lions even closer (a 12-19 loss) this past weekend.
Brendan Venter's passion for coaching knows no bounds. His latest stop on a world-wide coaching tour is Port Elizabeth.
Robbie Kempson, the Southern Kings' caretaker coach, revealed that Venter is assisting him with the PE-based outfit.
Former Springbok prop Robbie Kempson has been appointed as one of the new provincial academy managers, SA Rugby Union (Saru) announced on Friday.
EP Kings coach and former Sharks, WP / Stormers and Springbok prop, Robbie Kempson has been arrested in the USA for assaulting a player during a rugby match.

Singer, dancer, perfume creator, mum, wife... Beyonce has a lot of talents.
And now the superstar songstress can add another string to her bow - underwear designer.
Yup, Queen Bey has followed in the footsteps of Brit model Kelly Brook and launched her very own knicker range.
Wel, so far there's only two sets - a his and hers - designed especially for Valentine's Day.
For $40, female fans can purchase a pair of black briefs with "mine" written on them with a matching pair of black boxers saying "yours" on them, for their male counterparts.
They aren't the sexiest briefs and boxers we've ever seen. But Bey designed them, so who cares?
And Bey's romantic pants come in a designer black box, layered with pink tissue paper.
The undies are on sale on the pop queen's website, alongside customised hats, tees and tank tops.

Grand plan was behind formation of life
Jan. 8, 2014 at 6:03 p.m.
Updated Jan. 7, 2014 at 7:08 p.m.
Editor, the Advocate:
When considering the theory of evolution, can it be considered a scientific fact, especially as to the beginning of life? Scientists claim a primordial mixture of certain elements with a catalyst started a chemical chain reaction producing single-cell life forms with a primitive form of DNA. Mutation of DNA then occurred, and eventually, all life evolved.
DNA contains encoded information, which directs cells to perform certain functions necessary to produce higher life forms. Mutation is a process that changes existing DNA codes. Mutation changes are random in nature, and results can be good, bad, neutral or destructive to an organism.
No scientists believe that primitive DNA contained all the necessary encoded information and other features necessary to produce fully developed life forms. Therefore, scientists had to rely on mutation to start the evolutionary process. It seems inconceivable that mutation alone could have changed DNA to such an extent as to complete its complex system. Also within the structure of DNA are complex networks of millions of on-off switches that tell our genes what to do and when. So are we to believe mutation created this feature? Did mutation make it possible for billions of amino acid molecules to perfectly link up to form the basic codes of all life? How was it possible for original cells and DNA to stay intact and survive the ravages of nature long enough for mutation to make necessary changes to continue evolution?
Other scientists claim fossil evidence is proof of evolution. If this is true, then there must have been a sizeable amount of fossil evidence of transitional life forms throughout evolutionary history. The problem is no transitional life from fossils has been conclusively identified among the tons of fossils found to date.
Scientists base their theory on results of "controlled" lab experiments and ignore whether their results could logically be replicated in an uncontrolled nature setting. Scientists use mutation as their "holy grail" to claim all life evolved solely because of changes made to DNA codes. My belief is there was a grand plan in establishing life beyond nature itself.

Dinner last night (PIOG)
I think you might enjoy this.
Pegasus, I think you can have the veggies that I made. Not sure about the burgers.
I'm putting the recipes for what I made last night. I don't have pictures of the food I made last night. My camera isn't working.
Thyme roasted broccoli and cauliflower with lemon salt
Per serving: 145 calories...10.5 g total fat (1.5 g saturated fat), 4 g protein, 11 g carbohydrates. 0 mg cholesterol, 380 mg sodium, 4.5 g fiber.
12 oz broccoli, cut lengthwise into 1/2 inch slabs
12 oz cauliflower, cut lengthwise into 1/2 inch slabs
3 T extra virgin olive oil
3 Large garlic cloves, minced
8 (4-inch) sprigs fresh thyme (Fresh is needed)
1 1/2 T grated lemon peel
3/4 t coarse sea salt.
1. Heat oven to 425°F. Lightly coat large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Arrange broccoli and cauliflower in single layer on baking sheet. Combine oila nd garlic in small cup; brush over both sides of broccoli and cauliflower. Tuck thyme sprigs under and around vegetables.
2. Bake 20-30 minutes or until vegetables are browned and tender.
Place on serving platter; lightly crumble a few of the roasted thyme
sprigs over the top. Combine lemon peel and salt in small cup; sprinkle
over vegetables.
Spinach-Mozzarella-Stuffed Burgers
Per sandwich: 785 calories, 51.5 g total fat (1.6 g saturated fat), 46 g protein, 33 g carbohydrate, 130 mg cholesterol, 1425 mg sodium, 2.5 g fiber.
Yield: 4 sandwiches.
1½ pounds ground beef (80% lean)
1 t salt
3/4 t pepper
2 cups firmly packed spinach
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)
¼ cup purchased basil pesto
4 large sesame hamburger buns, split
1 cup loosely packed arugula
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 T chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes. (I didn't use these. I chopped up some fresh tomatoes and stuck them in the oven to roast them. Sun dried tomatoes are too hard. I don't like them. They aren't crunchy they are always hard.)
1 T grated parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (or just plain parm cheese, I couldn't find what it called for )
1 T chopped capers (capers are a fruit that are tangy and not sweet. Believe me you want these in there. they are with the condiments in the grocery store)
1. Gently combine ground beef, salt and pepper in medium bowl. Using generous 1/3 cup per patty, shape into 8 (3½ inch) patties ½ inch thick. Place on baking sheet; refrigerate while preparing stuffing.
2. Place spinach in dry large saucepan. Cover and cook over medium-high heat 1 - 2 minutes or until wilted, stirring occasionally. Drain; cool. Squeeze out any excess moisture. Chop: place in medium bowl. Stir in mozzarella cheese and pesto.
3. Mound about ¼ cup packed stuffing in center of 4 patties; cover with remaining 4 patties, pressing edges firmly to seal. Gently press patties to flatten. Whisk mayonnaise ingredients in small bowl. ( I made little balls and then made an opening and stuffed the stuffing inside, then sealed and flattened to make burgers. Worked so much better and the stuffing didn't spill out)
4. Heat grill. Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat or coals 10-12 minutes or until thoroughly cooked and no longer pink in center, turning once. Grill buns 30-60 seconds or until lightly toasted. (I did these in a skillet, because I don't own a grill)
5. Spread buns with 2 T of the mayonnaise. Top burgers with arugula. (or use as much or as little of the mayonnaise mix you want. This stuff is now my go to spread for most sandwiches.
These dishes worked really well together. They tasted wonderful, and have made the menu for being made again in the future.
I hope you enjoy.

Hi. The tour of the boat was fun! I had a great time. Thank you all. I was wondering if I can go and visit fot a couple of hours while you guys are working. Is that possible? If I can go I might bring the book with the 99 terms for ice and a piece of polar bear fur to you, Lee, Jackie, Patty, Ruth, and possibly the captain. Well thanks again. Got to go and eat dinner. I'll write to you again soon.

Hi Bobby,
I am very glad that you liked the tour of the ship. I am sorry that there was not any science going on while you were here. It would be great to have you back on board while the scientists are sampling so that you could see what they actually do and learn more about the data they collect. Unfortunately, we are now over 100 miles south of the island headed towards the shelf, then on to Dutch Harbor. We also do not have a helicopter anymore! Our helicopter departed a few days ago for its next job helping other scientists that are working near Nome.
But...Lee and Jackie would be very interested in having you come aboard on next year's cruise as a member of the scientific team and you could help with the scientific sampling. They hope that you will be available and they will keep in touch with you starting in the fall.
I am so glad that I was able to meet you and see your community. You have helped to make this trip an unforgettable, once in a lifetime experience for me and you have taught me so much about your way of life.
Take care and please stay in touch.

What do you think about Succession Planning in regards to ownership transitions. Succession Planning actually defines preparing your staff members to transition into more important roles in the agency, regardless of ownership potential.
An error made in most agencies in the U.S. and brokerages in Canada is that even if management identifies the 'up-and-comers' in the organization, their eventual promotion usually come as a surprise, albeit a pleasant one in most cases. The unfortunate thing is that the employee is rarely prepared for the transition requiring months and years of inefficient performance as they become educated and accustomed to their new role.
Our experience tells us that agency owners usually know who they desire to promote. But few create a formal Succession Plan that shows the entire organization with likely successors identified for each position in the event of the departure of the predecessor from that position.
So if, God Forbid, someone dies, becomes disabled, decides to retire or is slated to move to a new position in the organization or outside of it, even the most likely successor is usually not prepared to step in and take over without a long training and familiarization period.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
Once each year, the agency owner(s) and/or the Management Team should define an organization chart with every person and position noted on it. This is the template for the team to identify the most likely candidates for each position in the agency should something happen to the incumbent.
This process and document is usually not public information. It is a tool for management to see the ebbs and flows of the organization and to have at its disposal the most likely candidates should a crisis occur.
However, the purpose of the exercise of Succession Planning is not the morbid thought of who takes over a role if the incumbent is no longer able to function. It is the preparation of successors so that any future role advancement, especially in management positions, be as seamless as possible.
Most people we would choose to become managers are already competent and motivated in their current positions. It is certainly NOT inappropriate to tell them in their annual review that they are being considered (no guarantees in life) for promotion and you will be offering them training toward that potential eventuality.
You may enjoy the feeling of gratitude if you promote someone who had no idea that the advancement was a possibility, but you will quickly see the expression of shock and fear when they realize that they are stepping into new roles for which they have no real preparation. Good salespeople don't equate to good managers and motivators of others. They need training. Good service people and administrators don't necessarily understand how to manage workflows and their human resources. They need training. You will benefit, the agency and the people being considered for career advancement by removing the "surprise" and replacing it with a series of training exercises that show the candidates and you whether they are capable, desirous and would be good at the next level of position in the agency. Whether it takes one year or several years, it sure doesn't hurt to have prepared successors for the management positions that you or others may leave for bigger and better things in the future. And, if a crisis occurs, each successor will be better off than being thrust into a position with your confidence but no training and preparation.

Arya Ruby Darjeeling Tea is one which won our hearts the first time we bought it. With it's exclusive quality, we always end up buying it every year. The tremendous amount of fan following Arya Ruby has grown through the years cannot be ignored. This tea was discovered accidentally when Benoy sipped this tea in 2005 when in a meeting with a business partner. Marveled by the quality and taste, we started procuring this tea from 2006 and since then it hasn't let us down, not even once. We, ourselves are a fan of Arya Ruby tea.
A special tea made from AV2 clonal tea bushes from the tea gardens best clonal growing sections. This 2016 Second Flush Arya Ruby is as consistent as it always is. A perfect Darjeeling Tea, rich in flavor! A tea which marks high quality in every aspect, whether leaf appearance, cup or flavor. A well made tea!
Be it any Darjeeling season, tea connoisseurs who have tasted it has fallen in love with Arya Ruby Darjeeling. This 2016 Darjeeling Second Flush Arya Ruby is no different with the dry tea leaves being bold, well rolled and twisted. It has an elongated look somewhat wiry in nature. It has an overall chocolate brown appearance with abundance of slender silver and golden tips. Such tips or buds shows significant signs of high quality manufacture with the preservation of good look and flavor. It is very sweet in nature with an overwhelming warm chocolate like aroma. The caramel like aroma comes packed with other complex fruity notes which results in a pleasing aroma that fills the mind with warmth and a longing for this tea. The nutty characteristics cannot be avoided here. This is a perfect example of a high quality and delicious 2016 new Darjeeling Second Flush tea.
It has an overall coppery infusion, visible in the photo below which seems even in nature. The mixture of light and dark brown leaves are bright. It has an inherent character of a rich smell that is highly complex, leaning more towards fruity and nutty characteristics. It is also accompanied by a small degree of sweetness attached to it.
This photo further proves: This tea we are selling is 100% authentic.
It has a full bodied cup leaning more towards a reddish tinge reminiscent of the color of Ruby (thus the name of the tea "Ruby"). It has a marvelous and prominent brisk or lively taste. The cup tends towards reddish-orange color which can be tagged as coppery. Brewing Ruby for a complete 5 minutes time can make the cup a bit bitter. Try brewing for 3 minutes and try it. Of course you can try different time settings. It has mild biscuity taste with exceptional quality flavor or undertones of caramel, fruits and nuts. It is full bodied and mellow. Each sip is a connoisseurs delight!
For infusion and liquor images, refer to the video above
One of the most popular Second Flush Darjeeling Tea among its other line of jewels Arya produces each season, every year. We started buying Arya teas just because of this Ruby tea and slowly delved into the depths of its offerings. One Darjeeling tea every tea connoisseur should try and know what its worth!

Ravensdale kick-start winter league with a win
The North Louth Winter League kicked off with Castletown Knights travelling to Ravensdale last Sunday to take on defending League Champions, Ravensdale, in dreadful wet and windy conditions.
The North Louth Winter League kicked off with Castletown Knights travelling to Ravensdale last Sunday to take on defending League Champions, Ravensdale, in dreadful wet and windy conditions.
In a cagey opening 15 minutes, the game started with very few chances until Ravensdale, playing with the wind in the first half, won the ball on the halfway line. Gary Connolly carried it into the Castletown corner before pulling it back for Chris Dullaghan to cross into the Castletown area and the ball fell to the feet of Connor Connolly, whose curling effort hit the outside of the post.
Next it was Castletown who could have taken the lead when a long ball out of midfield found Castletown midfielder Gerard White. Unfortunately, the Ravensdale centre half slipped and allowed White to round the keeper but he couldn't convert the chance from a tight angle.
They were left to rue that missed chance as it was Ravensdale who took the lead after half an hour when Gary Connolly played in Eddie Duffy to coolly slot home into the bottom corner. Ten minutes later, Ravensdale increased their lead when Duffy was fouled just inside the area. Up stepped team captain Conall Lavery to send keeper Ruairí McCourt the wrong way and give Ravensdale a two goal cushion going into the break.
In the second half, Castletown, with the wind on their backs, piled the pressure onto the Ravensdale defence, creating several chances and they were finally rewarded when Vadym Pogorilyy cut out a short keeper's thrown clearance and finished brilliantly from distance to get his side back into the game.
Castletown's tails were now up and after a few half chances they finally drew back level when a cross from White from the right hand side was inadvertently flicked off a Ravensdale defender at the near post and into the top corner of his own net leaving his keeper a mere spectator. Ravensdale increased their effort after this with some neat football and bursting runs down both flanks. Then, with fifteen minutes remaining in the game, Ravensdale forced their way into the Castletown area and Lavery fed the run of Gary Connolly on the left, who fired a low, stinging ball across the six yard box and found the feet of his brother, Connor, to stroke home for Ravensdale and regain the lead.
Ravensdale were awarded another penalty five minutes later, when Connor Connolly stole possession between the Castletown keeper and defender and was taken down. Lavery stepped up once more but McCourt pulled off a remarkable one handed save to his left to give his side hope but it was not to be as Ravensdale eventually held on to start the season off with a hard fought 3-2 victory for Cecil Mahon's team in extremely tough conditions.
Best for Ravensdale were Connor Connolly, Eddie Duffy and Gary Connolly. For Castletown Vadym Pogorilyy, Ruairí McCourt and Gerard White played well.

Eleonora Dubicki and Jacqui DaCosta talked to us about how to keep students engaged while teaching about libraries. That said, I went because I wanted to learn teaching techniques that can be used in any instruction – and I did!!
Active Learning
We started with the rules for library bingo. This is the first way to keep students engaged. Basically, we listen which the instructor speaks everytime one of the words on our cards was spoken we marked our cards. Once the card had everything marked we called out Bingo – well not "we" – I didn't win 🙁
This is part of active learning. This technique is about using techniques that shift library instruction from lecturing to guiding or coaching students.
Active learning:
- engages students in the learning process
- elicits student discovery
- captures their attention (in a 45 minute class students would get bored – now takes 75 minutes and it's hard to get the students out)
- addresses multiple learning styles (oral, visual, exercises – so they can practice as well)
- creates an experience they can relate to and replicate (rather than going step by step and having them follow along, now because students are doing their own searching and keywords it's an experience they can replicate later)
- provides immediate feedback to the instructor
Confucius says "I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand" – I love it!!
The goal is to reach the bottom of the learning pyramid and try to get students to be able to teach each other:
Learning Pyramid
- lecture
- reading
- audiovisual
- demonstration
- discussion
- practice doing
- teach others
To participate in active learning you have to be comfortable giving up the control of the classroom to the students. This requires more prep time. For bingo you have to know what words will be used in the lectures so that someone can win – you have to print out the cards and get the bingo markers and prizes.
When teaching a class powerpoint slides work really well with visual learners – they hear her say something and then they see it – I am like this – I hate reading slides, but I do like having them there so that I can reference them if I missed hearing something while taking notes. Handouts are always handy because students can take them with you.
Asking for feedback
They also create a one minute evaluation sheet with four open ended questions that allow the students to provide feedback about the class:
- what did you learn
- what are you still confused about
- general comments
- rate the session (ratings are all on the high side – they like the interaction with it)
Another way to get feedback is to give a library session questionnaire at the beginning of the session – or before people arrive. This means that participants have questions prepared if things aren't covered – so at the end when you ask "do you have any questions" at least one person will have on prepared. You can collect the papers at the end of the session and this gives the instructor a chance to reply to students after session ("we didn't cover this in class and I wanted to address your question"). Lastly, this helps you prepare for future sessions by showing you what people are expecting based on your description and title.
Cephalonian Method
Another method of active learning that we were introduced to is called the Cephalonia method (yes, I created a page for this on Wikipedia – please feel free to edit and add more info if you're an expert). The Cephalonian method uses a fusion of color, image, humor and music to keep students engaged in the learning process. This method was started at the Cardiff University by Linda Davies and Nigel Morgan and was introduced to the British Library Public in 2004.
Some quick points about the Cephalonian method:
- been used for large groups (200+)
- been used for small groups
- a variety of institutions around the world
- graduates and undergraduates
- used very much for orientation
- used initially for large group orientation and to replace tours
How does it work? In our small group the instructor passed out 8 colored cards (they were hidden in our packets) with a question or statement on them. There were 2 of each color and each color was associated with a specific category – for your library orientation you might have one for the catalog, one for services, one for rules, etc. For the instructor this means being prepared to answer any questions asked and having the technology to match. Our instructor had a cheat sheet that told her the slide number for each card so that she could easily show that slide in answer to the question (this is because you have no control over what order the questions are asked. For the students this means having questions given to them – it starts discussion and acts as a great icebreaker. The instructor can say "does anyone have a pink card?" and then the students can read the card out for the whole class.
- students seem to like it
- they laugh with you and want to see what's next
- faculty thought it was wonderful
- good icebreaker
- adaptable for different audiences
- as well as being fun it does meet the learning objectives of being interactive
What can go wrong:
- technology can fail
- students shy
- invite a bit of chaos into your classroom
- colorblindness (you could put the word for the color on the handout)
Mix it up
Another way to keep students engaged is to "mix it up." You can do this with games like Guess-the-google. This is a great way to introduce library students to keyword searching. It shows a montage of images that all match a specific keyword. At first students don't participate, but then when see that they have a score of zero they start to compete and have fun with it.
Another way is simply to have a virtual tour of the library playing as students enter the room. There may not be enough time to do this during the class and it gets students engaged right as they enter the door.
Other tools you can try in library instruction:
- keyword exercise
- pick a topic and guess the keywords
- brainstorming
- think pair and share – collaborative learning – pick a topic and pair up with a student near them and discuss – then share with the rest of the class
Use creative research topics
- new marketing strategies for video games
- consumers are concerned about identity theft and privacy
- hip hop lyrics draw outrage
- have students demo a database search (as the student goes through the instructor can then point out things and ask questions)
What did the students have to say about all of this?
- "I think more discussion is good"
- "Letting the students follow along makes remembering the steps easy"
- "the exercises were helpful, fun and informative"
Some of these methods may not be for everybody, these are just some fun ideas that you can mix and match to make your classes more interesting and engaging.
I'm not sure I'd be able to pull off the Cephalonian method – but I'm thinking of creating some open source bingo cards!! 🙂

This weekend, Bobby and I traveled with our other Olmsted friends Karin and Lou Frketic (from Bologna, Olmsted Class '10) to Bolzano and Merano, two cities in northeastern Italy. With their proximity to the Austrian border, both cities have split identities. Are they Italian cities or German-speaking Austrian cities? Well, it's difficult to tell. They are towns where more often than not, you will hear people chattering in German and saying "Frohe Weihnachten" (Merry Christmas) instead of Buon Natale (the Italian version.) Menus are split in Italian and German languages. Most restaurants serve both German and Italian fare and the waiters speak both languages. … [Read More]

Arlington House, The Robert E. Lee Memorial
Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, VA, USA
Arlington House, The Robert E. Lee Memorial Reviews
777 reviews
Fomerly the Custis-Lee Mansion Jun 16, 2012
As part of the Robert E.Lee memorial, Arlington house has been maintained and is currently undergoing renovation. The beautiful Greek style mansion was the home of the former confederate general Robert E. Lee. It sits up on a hill overlooking the nations capital, the Potomac River and the National Mall.
The grounds of the mansion were converted into a cemetery during the American Civil war to ensure that the general does not return to his home. The mansion stands on 1,100 acres of land, and was built by the step grand son of George Washington.
The house was turned into a memorial for Robert E. Lee by the United States government to honor him. A museum in it show cases the Arlington lineage photos, what each room in the house was used for, even the uniform of the general. It is quite a neat setting. I'm sure when the renovations are complete it will be a much more engaging museum.
