Floor shopping experience
Out looking at flooring yesterday for 5 hours. We want wood or wood look for the kitchen. I first picked up the small Pergo laminate samples at HD and then went on to flooring stores. I brought home 5 samples of Mirage Engineered flooring that the flooring store claimed is the best and we liked one of the colors. One of the small laminate samples fell about 2 feet and the edge hit the Mirage sample and chipped it. The Mirage would be 3 times as much as the laminate and if that small drop damaged it, I am nervous to use this. So back to laminate or maybe porcelain that looks like wood if I can find one that is the right shade. Any other flooring thoughts/ideas/advice?
We are getting ready to move into a new house and I am looking into replacing carpet in the basement for a wood-look and I am undecided for floor materials in the kitchen. We have family friends that put the vinyl planks in thier basement. I need to find out what brand it is but...it was a very dark color and looked very nice! I heard that her sump-pump broke and she had at least 6 inches of water and her floors still look great, apparently you would never know that she ever had standing water in her basement. I'm not sure MARIES1120 if you would be open to something like that. I'll try to find out what brand!
Any suggestions for me in my kitchen. We have wood floors throughout the main floor, the kitchen is a worn out vinyl sheet. What would be recommended for the floors to match the wood...or at least blend in and coordinate. I like the look of porcelain, but I'm am pretty prone to dropping things and do not want to break my dishes or the floor. Feedback is appreciated! Thanks!
I am open to anything right now. The one flooring store said laminate was going out and the luxury vinyl tile is the big trend. Another store said he has laminate in his kitchen and loves it. I am also looking at porcelain because of its durability. I don't know if the type of flooring would keep something from breaking if dropped but dropping something on some floors might damage the floor - as in my experience.
I am testing out Pergo XP laminate from Home Depot. I put 2 pieces together and put them under water for an hour and nothing happened. I pounded on it with a meat mallet and only the side with the big spikes made any impact and not much. When I was there someone was buying this in a slate look that was nice looking.
I haven't found a tile I like yet so at this point the Pergo XP is the only option I have.
I have always recommended hard tile first for any utility area, or areas prone to accident, abuse, entry and egress. Rock solid and wears like iron.
My humble opinion: 3/4" solid wood flooring is still the best value for main floor. It can out last the life of the house usually with 5 to 6 times resandable surface. Resale value is a hige and well desired by everyone.
When we put hickory engineered wood (Harris Tarkette) in our kitchen the flooring was shipped from an online retailer. They had used strapping tape to link the stack of boxes into several bundles. When we opened the boxes the strapping tape had cut through the outer boxes and damaged the edges of either the top or bottom plank in several boxes. I contaced the seller and he immediatly shipped replacemants. Once installed we have not had any wear but when we accidentally dropped a large butcher knife and it landed on a sharp point it cut a gash in the floor. That would happen to any wood, laminate or vinyl flooring. I don't think I would let a chip incident discourage me from selecting the Mirage boards. That has an even better reputation than the HT line did. If you really want a hardwood look I'd go for it. My wife and I are senior citizens and she wouldn't have a tile floor to stand on in the kitchen all day, even though we use it in the washroom. I even put a 5/16" thick cork underlay under the engineered wood the make it easier to stand on.
All of this is very helpful and informative! Thanks!
nerdyshopper - it was just a 4x4 laminate flooring sample that fell and not that far. A knife I could understand. I saw some hardwood that was much cheaper that looked like it would hold up better although I'm sure for the price it was rotary cut.
A lot of options out there to check out. Good thing we won't be ready to do the floor until the end of July so I have time to look.

- Spatial data analysis
We describe a model for the analysis of data distributed over irregularly shaped spatial domains with complex boundaries, strong concavities and interior holes. Adopting an approach that is typical of functional data analysis, we propose a spatial spline regression model that is computationally efficient, allows for spatially distributed covariate information and can impose various conditions over the boundaries of the domain. Accurate surface estimation is achieved by the use of piecewise linear and quadratic finite elements.

Petersen opts for continuity on Washington staff
Rather than throwing together a bunch of unknown faces in a new setting, Washington coach Chris Petersen decided continuity and familiarity were what he wanted with his first coaching staff in Seattle.
And nearly all are bringing a major Boise State connection to Washington.
''That's one of the areas as a head coach I've had always lost a lot of sleep making sure these coaches are just right for us, for this university and most importantly for these kids,'' Petersen said Tuesday. ''The great thing is all of them but one I've coached with for a long time. I know what they're all about and the one I haven't coached with I feel equally good and strong about. I think the University of Washington is in really good hands with these fine coaches.''
Petersen's decision on assistants should make the transition from Boise State to Washington smoother for everyone involved.
Eight of the nine Petersen hired - who were formally introduced on Tuesday - worked with him at Boise State. That includes former Florida offensive coordinator Brent Pease, who will be Washington's wide receivers coach, and linebackers' coach Bob Gregory, who served as Boise State's interim coach for its bowl game.
It's a group that is familiar with how everyone works, with the hope that experience working together helps lead to a seamless transition for the Washington players.
''I think that makes the transition flow easier,'' new Washington defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski said. ''You're not trying to get to know guys and then put in a defense. We've already done most of it. ... That is huge when we're sitting in a room and we're starting to put the defense together and make things go a lot quicker and a lot smoother and there won't be as many bumps in the road.''
Kwiatkowski had among the strongest ties to Boise State, having been a coach for the Broncos the past eight seasons and been a player there from 1984-87. Kwiatkowski is among five coaches - along with Gregory, defensive backs coach Jimmy Lake, offensive line coach Chris Strausser, offensive coordinator Jonathan Smith and running backs coach/recruiting coordinator Keith Bhonapha - following Petersen off Boise State's staff from last season.
Then there are a few reunions. Jeff Choate was a running backs, linebackers and special teams coach for Petersen at Boise State before moving on to Washington State and Florida, where he coached linebackers. He'll return to Petersen's staff as the Huskies defensive line coach and special teams coordinator.
Pease worked under Petersen at Boise State from 2006-11 before spending two seasons as the offensive coordinator at Florida. He was fired after this season.
''It had always been a goal of mine to be back in the Northwest whether it was here or somewhere else,'' Pease said. ''It worked out in my favor to be able to work with coach Pete again and all the guys on the staff.''
The lone addition to Petersen's staff that has not previously worked for him is tight ends coach Jordan Paopao, returning to the position he held with the Huskies under former coach Steve Sarkisian.

Veldron 28 Veldron's Saga 28: The Power of Heart
Rainbow lives in New Zealand.
I try to avoid the country, myself, largely because of that reason. I couldn't help but wonder if she was our kidnapper. Rainbow's world-conquering schemes were rather direct, and her methods for avoiding vigilantes quite uninspired. Simply removing all possible enemies from the equation was a viable strategy for her. But just because she was probably in the same country as one disappearance wasn't really enough to incriminate her.
Two disappearances. She was at Devnull's party.
Dammit, I was going to have to talk to her. I couldn't very well just ignore a lead.
Fortunately, she wasn't hard to find. The one time we'd ever worked together I had been able to secretly learn her real name, so I found her with google. She was one of the only villains who lived a double life and still had the audacity to live permanently in her lair. Of course, her lair blended in very well.
I suppressed a shudder as I approached th
Veldron 27: Power Dowsing Veldron's Saga 27: Power Dowsing
My path was surprisingly clear as I ran for it. Again. I guess it shouldn't be surprising, really. The boys were professionals.
I returned to my island without further trouble. Snow White had left the Trabethan Jewel in my motorboat for me. The boys contacted me the next day to invoice me for their services and a plane ride home (since I was already on my way to Antarctica by then), and to chew me out about my sloppy methods. They hated it when idiot clients tried to do their job for them, but the last thing I needed was fatalities. They charged me an absurdly high price for the paralytic tranquilisers they'd used in place of bullets, mostly out of irritation I think.
I built a simpler version of my omnidetector, focusing on StarFyre's flight, and headed for the spot at which she'd escaped from my island. The island itself gave a signal; contamination from all the superheroes that had been hanging around. I adjusted the instrument to make the s
Veldron 26 Veldron's Saga 26: A Really Obvious Flaw
You know what? Fuck the inverse square law.
I mean, shit. That hurt like hell. I was completely unaccustomed to my own pain weaponry and the only part of my skin that was currently breached was the two points directly touching the pain grenade clutched in my hand. It felt like my hand was on fire. That, I could see, was going to be a serious flaw in using my arm-battery.
I cut the pain out almost immediately. It had been enough to drop most of my enemies, but it had also been enough to force me to my knees and lose my bearings. Somebody was still in the sky. I could hear them; perhaps they'd been shielded by my body. I spun around, put my free hand over my eyes and made the egg flash, brightly. Then I clambered to my feet and ran. I barely noticed as my belt beeped Rose Red's clear signal.
Yeah, the egg thing wasn't efficient. It was compact, but having the emitter directly against my wounded hand like that made me vulnerable to half th
Veldron 25: Metahumans Veldron's Saga 25: Metahumans
I dislike the term 'metahuman'.
Why? Because it's PR bullshit. It doesn't even make sense. There's nothing 'meta' about superpowers in general. People just don't like the word 'super' any more because it sounds arrogant.
I bring this up because it is one of the many reasons that I dislike the International Metapatrol, who were currently surrounding me.
"Give yourself up, Veldron!" some kid shouted as I ducked inside a barn for cover. Dammit, somebody had tipped them off. They just hadn't surrounded the bank because it was too densely populated an area.
The Metapatrol were the only force I knew of apart from the Ultimate Justice Squad who could chase superhuman criminals pretty much anywhere in the world without legal repercussions, but they didn't tend to do so as far as I was aware. To be honest, it wasn't something I paid much attention to; when your primary base is water-bound, people don't care nearly as much about who owns the water you're fl
Veldron 24Veldron's Saga 24: The Heist
Shadow found me the location of the Jewel. The two mercenaries travelled with me on my island, the alternative being that I buy plane tickets for them. I had asked CYBR to come but she had flatly refused to face the Squad. Shadow mentioned, offhand, that nobody had seen Forcinor for awhile. I tried to contact him but got nothing. That was odd; Forcinor wasn't the sort of guy who usually dropped off the radar. His idea of hiding was to change locations while keeping in contact with people, and he wasn't any sort of mechanic or designer; his plans rarely required long states of isolated preparation.
I added him to the list.
To tell the truth, I wasn't all that happy about this mission. It was quite possible that Longtooth had tipped off the Squad after talking to Shadow, but of course I was just assuming that Shadow had received her information via Longtooth. She may have had other routes. The location turned out to be an ordinary bank vault. A freakin
Veldron 23 Veldron's Saga 23: Snow White and Rose Red
Snow White and Rose Red are generally agreed to be highly competent. They demand payment in cash, but that was okay. I sold CYBR a version of my levitation detector for quite a tidy sum. Provided without schematics and designed to incinerate if it was opened up, of course.
I had Shadow find the Jewel for me. She had the best chance of being able to contact Longtooth, and the best chance of getting information out of him. In return I described the events of my capture, leaving out the bit about Seer needing to breach the skin on my head to read my mind and other minor details related to me. She was mostly interested in how the Squad was holding together without the Captain anyway. I didn't tell her anything about where StarFyre had left my island; the last thing I needed was for her to sell such information to heroes and have the scene contaminated.
So while I awaited her information, I went to see Snow White and Rose Red.
I strode thr
Velron 22 Veldron's Saga 22: Backtracking
FrostWing hadn't turned up.
Neither had StarFyre.
I knew this because a few days after returning to my base, Shadow contacted me via the number I had given CYBR after breaking out of prison. I explained that the Ultimate Justice Squad didn't seem to have FrostWing and weren't aware of her disappearance before I had told them. Neria hadn't resurfaced either, according to Shadow; I gave her a better idea of exactly when she had disappeared, in the eight hours or so between the dolphin attack and her failure to report to the Squad.
Shadow pressed me for details of my capture, but I refused to say anything everything I'd noticed there was either potentially valuable information or related directly to my abilities and vulnerabilities, which were none of her business. I did trade the approximate location of the base I had escaped from for a number to contact her directly, which she guaranteed would be good for three months. Her condition was th
Veldron 21: Re Count Veldron's Saga 21: Re Count
I was secure under the ocean and I had more than one mystery on my hands.
I decided to lay low for awhile unless Shadow contacted me, and tried to make sense of the pattern.
The Captain went missing somewhere in Australia. Let's call that Day One. Day three, Polaron was last sighted in Mexico. I'd caught StarFyre on day five, and attracted hero attention. FrostWing had disappeared somewhere between day eight and day thirty. On day... what, forty? Forty-two?... I was captured by the Squad, and Neria went missing. The defence system records put StarFyre's escape on day forty-nine. It was day fifty-nine, and I wasn't aware of any other disappearances.
How many of them were cause for concern? Were some of the others like StarFyre, just randomly captured and assumed to be related due to all the paranoia? Were there others that I didn't know about?
After nearly two months, why hadn't there been a ransom demand? Did somebody just want to keep the Captain o
Veldron 20 Veldron's Saga 20: Secret Lair
I contacted the Ultimate Justice Squad after dropping CYBR off. One of their private channels is laughably easy to get into. It's there so that we can issue ransom threats and ultimata without panicking the populous, if need be; I think it's only locked at all to keep out spammers.
I told them all about the omnidetector, and how to assemble it. They hadn't actually agreed to my deal, but Seer did technically let me go, and it couldn't conceivably be used against me anyway. I also confirmed that StarFyre was released, although presumably they knew that already.
I had very little footage of StarFyre's escape. The damage had taken out part of the security system immediately and the autorepair had shut off the cameras to fix them. It looked like I would need to fix that. When programming it I had assumed that if the base was sealed up underwater and I wasn't inside then such things should be safe to shut off, but apparently I had not taken into accoun

You cannot top the view from this lovely spot. We did not stay here but stopped for wine and olives on the patio. It is a nice little hike up the winding roads to the top of the vista where this hotel is. Enjoyed the view for hours. You must visit this Eze and finish your time right here at... More
2nd visit to the fabulous Eza, again were not disappointed with the room, service and food. This view is always stunning and cannot be described. The room was just so romantic and we had a room service by the chimney on the first night as we were tired. Be sure will be back again.
We were here in France for a wedding so took the extra time to tour around as part of our trip. Being our first time to Southern France and to this area we decided to lash out and stay at Chateau Eze. We figured, if we're gonna come all this way (from Australia) lets do it right!

No regrets! My wife and I stayed during low season (Feb 2015) in a Deluxe room (Deux Cheminee - two fireplaces) at €290.

This hotel ticks all the boxes for a unique and beautifully appointed hotel in a remarkable setting. The walk up the ancient cobbled village steps just added to the tantalizing expectation of what awaits above in this village hotel with a spectacular view along the Cote D'Azur. Complete with a Michelin star restaurant to top it all off!
First of all, why the village of Eze is not on the " Les plus beaux Village the France" list is beyond me.

Hello all, wondering if you'd be able to help with a quick question. Hoping to have lunch at the Chateau Eza while I am in Cote d'Azur next week (am trying to organize that with a Visa Concierge for Sunday 11/30 for a table of four and am awaiting response).
We will be traveling with one older friend who might be having some difficulty walking. Arriving at the hotel by car, how challenging might the said light hike to the entrance of the hotel be? Is there any assistance available for someone for whom the walk might be too difficult? Thank you so much for your attention jl

- Application Details
I applied online. The process took a week – interviewed at Borders in April 2008.Interview Details
The application process was much more grueling than the interviewing process. Borders only accepts online applications, and the application is quite lengthy and includes a personality test; you will show up as a red, yellow or green "light" on Borders' hiring site, based on how you answered the questions (these days, the company seems to care more about an outgoing, engaging personality than the applicant being literate). If you are applying for a non-management position, you are required to apply to a specific store, but after a period of about a month, if that store has taken no action on your application, it will be released to the broad area.
I was called for an interview with a store other than the one I'd applied for, perhaps two months after initially applying. The interviewer, who was the Training Supervisor, was dressed very casually and seemed sort of bored with the whole process, reading very standard questions from the paper she had in front of her (such as "What are you reading right now?" and "Why do you want to work here?"), as well as some of the more obnoxious questions interviewers always seem to ask (like "What is a conflict you've encountered in the workplace, and how did you resolve it?" and "What is your greatest weakness?). I was told that the position I'd applied for, Inventory Processing Team, was full, but that there were openings for booksellers. I didn't feel that I was particularly coherent or impressive, but I was called back for a second interview with the General Manager, probably due to my extensive bookstore background. The second interview was even more casual than the first, the GM and I mostly just yakking about things we had in common, things she knew about the school I'd attended, etc.
I was offered the job shortly thereafter, and the two nitwits I went through training with were reason enough for me to realize I was more than qualified for the position.Interview Questions

EXCLUSIVE: James Cameron Reunites With 'Avatar' Producer for 'Fantastic Voyage'
Laeta Kalogridis, who worked with James Cameron on Avatar, is reuniting with the filmmaker for Fantastic Voyage. Kalogridis has been tapped for rewrite duties on Fox's remake of the 1966 sci-fi classic that Cameron is producing.
The long-in-development project has seen Shane Salerno and Cormac and Marianne Wibberly among the scribes who have attempted to tackle the script. Paul Greengrass also flirted with the project this year but never committed.
Voyage revolves around a team of scientists who are shrunk to atomic size and sent in a miniature submarine inside the body of a scientist to save his life.
Cameron is producing with his Lightstorm Entertainment partner Jon Landau.
Kalogridis, who wrote Shutter Island for Martin Scorsese, was involved in the writing of Avatar, for which she received an executive producer credit.
The WME-repped scribe is writing Ghost in the Shell for Avi Arad and DreamWorks and rewriting Nine Lives for Jerry Bruckheimer and Disney. She sold an original pitch to Legendary, with Rae Sanchini, Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni producing.

Washington, DC (SportsNetwork.com) - Alex Ovechkin scored twice to lead a Washington comeback and the Capitals beat the Calgary Flames, 5-4, in a shootout Thursday night after trailing by three goals twice in their home opener.
Ovechkin and Mikhail Grabovski were both successful in the shootout and Michal Neuvirth, who replaced Braden Holtby in the first period after the Washington starting netminder gave up three goals, stopped two Calgary tries in the deciding phase.
"We talked about how we had 40 minutes to try to get it back," said Capitals coach Adam Oates. "We talked about a couple things we did wrong in the first period and not to give them another one. We wanted our D [defense] to be more involved, but not do crazy pinches and give them a free goal -- just stay focused and get it one at a time."
Nicklas Backstrom had the tying power-play goal with 5:50 left in regulation for the Capitals, who bounced back after losing 6-4 in Chicago on Tuesday.
The Flames lost their season opener for the fourth straight year despite goals from David Jones, Lee Stempniak and Jiri Hudler in the first 16:22 of the game that chased Holtby.
"Very happy with the effort, obviously disappointed with the result," said Flames coach Bob Hartley. "Just don't be glad to be in the NHL, when you have a 3-0 lead, you have to find a way to keep it."
Washington defenseman Connor Carrick, 19, scored his first NHL goal, Ovechkin also had an assist and Neuvirth made 27 saves.
Karri Ramo, in his first regular-season NHL game since April 11, 2009, gave up four goals on 39 shots for the Flames, who blew leads of 3-0 and 4-1. Lance Bouma also scored in the loss, while Mark Giordano had two assists.
Ovechkin and Grabovski both beat Ramo with dekes to their backhand in the shootout, with Neuvirth stopping Sven Baertschi and Hudler.
Backstrom's tying goal came after Calgary's T.J. Galiardi was called off for goaltender interference after knocking Neuvirth in the mask with his glove.
Ovechkin helped free the puck in the slot and Backstrom ended up with it on the low right side for a wrister that made it 4-4.
The Flames had several chances in a flurry as the final seconds of regulation ticked off, but Neuvirth kept them out of the net. Both goaltenders then made three saves in overtime.
Ovechkin's first goal, a slap shot from the left side, came on a power play at 11:24 of the second period and cut Calgary's lead to 4-2.
Three minutes later, he slipped a seeing-eye wrister through everyone after the puck came back to him on a faceoff in the right circle, pulling the Caps within one.
Earlier, Jones beat Holtby 5:18 into the game with a sharp-angle shot from the low right side. Stempniak scored at 10:13 and Hudler's power-play goal at 16:22 made it 3-0 Calgary.
Carrick, off for hooking early in the second period, scored on a breakaway after coming out of the penalty box with a deke to the right side. Bouma restored Calgary's three-goal lead just 1:35 later, however.
Capitals defenseman Jack Hillen had to be helped off the ice after being hit
against the boards by Bouma in the first period and didn't return. Hillen was
favoring his right leg after the leg-to-leg check, and the team said he had a
lower body injury. Bouma wasn't penalized for the hit, but he and Caps winger
Tom Wilson drew five-minute fighting majors after the play ... The Caps will
play at Dallas on Saturday before starting a five-game homestand ... The
Flames remain on the road to play Columbus on Friday. Their home opener is
Sunday against Vancouver ... Ramo started Calgary's opener after 2006 Vezina
winner Miikka Kiprusoff retired last month with one season left on his
Vanderbilt quarterback Patton Robinette said Friday he is walking away from football to enter medical school.
Regan Smith substituted for Kyle Larson in the No. 42 Chip Ganassi Racing Chevrolet in Sunday's Sprint Cup Series race at Martinsville Speedway after Larson was sidelined due to additional medical tests following his fainting spell on Saturday.
If contradiction was an Olympic sport, Chip Kelly would certainly be medal-worthy judging by his performance at the NFL's owners meeting but the Eagles coach might have to settle for silver because Daniel Snyder's critics will take the gold every time.
There isn't much after that. The Miami Marlins are loaded up for a playoff push -- likely through a wild card spot -- and the New York Mets are up-and- coming but still raw. The Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies, former powerhouses of the division, are going through rebuilds and won't contend anytime soon.
The Los Angeles Clippers have signed guard Lester Hudson to a 10-day contract.
Mathieu Perreault will be back in the lineup when the Winnipeg Jets host the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
A text-crazy generation
DOMINGUEZ HILLS, Calif. -- A recent Pew Internet & American Life Project report surveyed 2,462 middle school and high school advanced placement and national writing project teachers and concluded that: "Overwhelming majorities agree with the assertions that today's digital technologies are creating an easily distracted generation with short attention spans and today's students are too 'plugged in' and need more time away from their digital technologies." Two-thirds of the respondents agree with the notion that today's digital technologies do more to distract students than help them academically.
Mind you, we are talking about teachers who typically teach the best and brightest students and not those who we would generally think of as highly distractible.
Recently, my research team observed 263 middle school, high school and university students studying for a mere 15 minutes in their homes. We were interested in whether students could maintain focus and, if not, what might be distracting them. Every minute, we noted exactly what they were doing, whether they were studying, if they were texting or listening to music or watching television in the background, and if they had a computer screen in front of them and what websites were being visited.
The results were startling, considering the students knew we were watching them and most likely assumed we were observing how well they were able to study. First, these students were only able to stay on task for an average of three to five minutes before losing their focus. Universally, their distractions came from technology, including: (1) having more devices available in their studying environment such as iPods, laptops and smartphones; (2) texting; and (3) accessing Facebook.
Other researchers have found similar attention spans among computer programmers and medical students, and in those studies technology provided the major sources of distraction.
We also looked at whether these distractors might predict who was a better student in general. Not surprisingly those who stayed on task longer and had well-developed study strategies were better students. The worst students were those who consumed more media each day and had a preference for switching back and forth between several tasks at the same time.
One additional result stunned us: If the students checked Facebook just once during the 15-minute study period, they had a lower grade-point average. It didn't matter how many times they looked at Facebook; once was enough. Not only did social media negatively impact their temporary focus and attention, but it ultimately impacted their entire school performance.
So, what was going on with these students? We have asked thousands of students this exact question and they tell us that when alerted by a beep, a vibration, or a flashing image they feel compelled or drawn to attend to that stimulus. However, they also tell us that even without the sensory intrusions they are constantly being distracted internally by thoughts such as, "I wonder if anyone commented on my Facebook post" or "I wonder if my friend responded to the text message I sent five minutes ago" or even "I wonder what interesting new YouTube videos my friends have liked." Three-fourths of teens and young adults check their devices every 15 minutes -- or less -- and if not allowed to do so get highly anxious. And anxiety inhibits learning.
I am convinced learning to live with both internal and external distractions is all about teaching the concept of focus. In psychology, we refer to the ability to understand when you need to focus and when it is not necessary to do so as "metacognition," or knowing how your brain functions. In one recent study we found a perfect demonstration of metacognition, albeit totally by accident. In this study we showed a video in several psychology courses, which was followed by a graded test.
Students were told we might be texting them during the videotape and to answer our text messages. In fact, one-third did not get a text message, one-third got four texts during the 30-minute video, and the other third got eight texts, enough, we guessed, to distract them and make them unable to concentrate on the video. One other wrinkle was that we timed the text messages to occur when important material was being shown on the videotape that was going to be tested later.
We were right the students who got eight texts did worse -- they averaged a "D" on the test -- but the students who received four texts and the students who did not receive a text message during the video got a "C" on our test. However, a mistake in our instructions told us more about what was going on inside the students' heads when the text arrived. We told students to reply to our text messages but we did not tell them when to reply. Those students who manifested a knee-jerk reaction to their vibrating phone and answered our texts immediately were the ones who got the lower test grades. Those few students who opted to wait a few minutes to respond got the highest scores in the class.
After the study, when asked why they did not respond immediately they told us they were waiting for a time when the videotape material seemed less important and not likely to be on the test. Those students were using their metacognitive skills to decide when was a good time to be distracted and when it was important to focus.
How do we teach focus in a world that is constantly drawing our attention elsewhere? One strategy we are using in classrooms around the world is called "technology breaks." Here's how it works: In many classrooms students are allowed to use their smartphones, tablets, or laptops as tools to search the web, access social media, or perform other activities that promote learning. In such classrooms teachers often report that in between times students are using their devices for schoolwork, they are checking their email and text messages, tweeting, or accessing social media.
A tech break starts with the teacher asking all students to check their texts, the web, Facebook, whatever, for a minute and then turn the device on silent and place it upside down on the desk in plain sight and "focus" on classroom work for 15 minutes. The upside-down device prohibits external distractions from vibrations and flashing alerts and provides a signal to the brain there is no need to be internally distracted since an opportunity to "check in" will be coming soon.
At the end of the 15-minute focus time the teacher declares a tech break and the students take another minute to check in with their virtual worlds followed by more focus times and more tech breaks. The trick is to gradually lengthen the time between tech breaks to teach students how to focus for longer periods of time without being distracted. I have teachers using this in classrooms, parents using it at the dinner table or at a restaurant, and bosses using tech breaks during meetings with great success. So far, though, the best we can get is about 30 minutes of focus thanks to Steve Jobs (and others) for making such alluring, distracting technologies.
Technology is not going to disappear from our world and, in fact, it is only going to get more appealing as screens become sharper, video become clearer, and touch screens become the norm, all of which attract our sensory system and beckon us to pay attention to them rather than schoolwork or the people in front of us.
With more electronic social connections in our lives internal distractors are also increasing and tech breaks can be used to train the brain to focus without the worry and anxiety about what we might be missing in our virtual social world.
