This product is advertised as an illuminator for the face which is supposed to instantly help "smooth the look of lines, even tone and boost radiance." Though the creamy texture feels elegant and glides silky-smooth over skin, the luminizing effect is so faint that it leaves one wondering, "What's the point?" Furthermore, instead of reducing the appearance of fine lines, it accentuates them by adding a hint of shimmer, and as far as evening out skin tone, this cream is far too sheer to be able to do that. To make matters worse, they instruct you to apply the product with your fingers, making it difficult to achieve an even application. All in all, this is an unnecessary addition to your beauty routine.
Believe in miracles. That's the "lifestyle" branding statement philosophy makes, which is an approach that is decidedly different from their former positioning, which encompassed family values and spirituality along with a dash of department-store élan and endearingly clever quips. The miracle angle may grab your attention, but the company is also quick to point out that its history is steeped in providing products to dermatologists and plastic surgeons worldwide (so, in addition to miracles, philosophy has a serious side, too). Although its heritage may have included providing clinically oriented products to doctors, we have yet to see or hear of any medical professional retailing philosophy products. And that's a good thing because, by and large, most of philosophy products are resounding disappointments. Moreover, several products, including almost all of their sunscreens, contain one or more known skin irritants. We would be extremely suspicious of a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who recommended such products to their patients, and even more so if they actually believed some of the more farfetched claims philosophy makes.
Interestingly, when you shop this line at department stores or at the cosmetics boutique Sephora, what you'll notice is the preponderance of food- and drink-scented bath products, all in vivid colors or cutely boxed for gift-giving. It seems that somewhere along the way, the company decided to promote these nose-appeal products while downplaying their more serious-minded, simply packaged skin care. Perhaps the body lotions and bubble baths have become philosophy's bread and butter. Given the hit-or-miss nature of their facial-care products, that's not surprising. Then again, they've also heavily promoted their anti-aging-themed Miracle Worker products...
So what's to like if you're into the vibe philosophy puts out? Well, this is still a line with some well-formulated staples, including an AHA product, some retinol options, and a handful of state-of-the-art moisturizers. The products that get the most promotion at the counter are the ones you should avoid, such as the at-home peels, scrubs, pads, and anti-acne products. However, the somewhat confusing, conflicting image philosophy presents shouldn't keep you from considering their best products—but it's not a lifestyle brand in the sense that using the entire line will somehow bring you a more joyful existence, or significantly improved skin. The philosophy line is now owned Coty, a cosmetics brand primarily known for their fragrances. Their acquisition of philosophy is their first major foray into a widely-distributed skin care brand.

Note: philosophy opts to use lowercase letters for every product they sell, so the listings below are simply following suit.

Minimalism is a big theme among philosophy's dwindling, uneven range of makeup. Whereas the color options from this company used to be extensive, well-organized, and at times clever, what's lining the counter now needs help, in more ways than one. The major issue is the plethora of ordinary products that cost far too much for what they don't offer, which is innovation and, in almost every case, selection. The line shines brightest (pun intended) with its lip color offerings, though the best products in this category are counterbalanced by glosses or lip balms with needless irritants. If you're a fan of philosophy's skin-care products and are considering their makeup, you don't want to try to build a comprehensive color wardrobe with it. However, you'd be wise to explore the handful of pleasant surprises here, including an excellent bronzing lotion, foundation primer with sunscreen, and the multi-use makeup brush.

The End of the American Era: US Foreign Policy and the Geopolitics of the Twenty-first Century
Rethinking Europe's Future
The Future of Freedom: Illiberal Democracy at Home and Abroad
America's foreign policy pundits are afflicted with a Kennan complex. Fifty-six years ago, in July 1947, the American journal Foreign Affairs published an essay entitled "The Sources of Soviet Conduct." The anonymous author—"X"—was George Kennan, then on the policy planning staff at the State Department. Kennan's essay developed the arguments adumbrated in his now-famous "long cable," a confidential telegraphic message sent from the US embassy in Moscow on February 22, 1946, that laid out for Kennan's bosses in Washington the background to Soviet foreign policy and recommended to Western leaders what became known as the strategy of containment. It is hard to exaggerate the influence of Kennan's brief, elegant exposition of the international situation of 1947 and its lessons for US policy: notwithstanding his modest ambitions (and to his later regret) he had written the script for the coming cold war.
Ever since, Kennan's successors in and out of the US foreign policy establishment have been struggling to match his achievement. When the cold war ended, specialists fell upon the occasion. A pattern emerged: first came an ambitious essay-length interpretation of the moment and its meaning; then, a year or two later, a much-hyped book-length extension of that essay; finally, if the author was lucky, a phrase or two that hung for a while in the ether of specialist exchanges—"the End of History," "the Clash of Civilizations"—before evaporating under the pressure of its own pretensions. Unlike Kennan, however, his would-be heirs nurse metatheoretical aspirations, whereas Kennan was building policy recommendations out of close local observation.1 They don't write as well as he did; and they have scant desire to hide their authorial light under the bushel of anonymity. Not surprisingly, the implicit comparison is consistently unflattering: kissed only by the shadow of Kennan's achievement, his successors—like Portia's suitors—"have but a shadow's bliss."2
The latest contender is Robert Kagan, director of the US Leadership Project at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. His article "Power and Weakness" appeared in Policy Review in June 2002; his book (injudiciously overpraised by those who ought to know better) is now published just in time for the war its author has long advocated; and his catch phrase "Americans are from Mars and Europeans are from Venus" is doing business around the globe. Like many in contemporary Washington, he is interested not so much in strategy as in power: who has it, who doesn't. In Kagan's view, Europeans today live in a "Kantian" postmodern paradise; they are at peace with one another and have constructed for themselves a happy way of life, based on negotiation, cooperation, rules—and impotence. Americans, meanwhile, are mired in history, in a dangerous "Hobbesian" world of interests and conflicts, where the law of the jungle applies and survival rests on armed power.
This sharply drawn contrast accounts, in Kagan's view, for the present chasm separating the two sides of the Atlantic. The Europeans have a mission (in his words) to universalize the pacific model of their European Union, through international treaties, courts, agencies, and other transnational regulatory bodies. This brings them into confrontation with Washington, since the United States, part of whose burden entails protecting Europe against the folly of its own military inadequacy, cannot be constrained by such bodies. The US is the only world power with global military reach; it is thus a ready target for the enemies of freedom; and it must therefore be ready to fight. There is no reason, Kagan concludes, why Europeans and Americans shouldn't strive to understand one another better; but part of that understanding requires that they accept how very different they have become.
In broad-brush terms Kagan is correct, though hardly original. American leaders do think more readily of going to war, and they have the means to do so. Europeans are far more committed to multilateral institutions, of which they have considerable experience. But Kagan has magnified this staple truism of newspaper editorials into a geopolitical treatise, and that is where the trouble starts. Under closer scrutiny, its assumptions quickly dissolve. For example: Kagan repeatedly labels "Hobbesian" the international anarchy that he invokes to justify America's muscular unilateralism. But this is a crass misreading of Hobbes's position.
Drawing on his observations of seventeenth-century England in an age of civil war, Thomas Hobbes argued that the very laws of nature that threaten to make men's lives "solitary, poor, nasty, brutal and short" require us to form a common authority for our separate and collective protection. Notice that "solitary," though: in Hobbes's account men are not so much in permanent conflict as unengaged one with another. In a "Hobbesian" international world, states—by analogy with individuals—would come together out of their shared interest in security, relinquishing some autonomy and freedom in return for the benefits of a secure environment in which to pursue their separate concerns. This was the genuinely "Hobbesian" solution devised by the American statesmen of an earlier generation, who built the international institutions that Kagan would now tear asunder.
As for the Kantian paradise of the Europeans (the allusion is to Kant's 1795 essay "On Perpetual Peace"): Kagan has forgotten the very recent past, in which European infantrymen died on peacekeeping missions in Asia, Africa, and Europe while American generals foreswore foreign ground wars lest US soldiers get killed. If Americans are from Mars, they rediscovered the martial virtues rather recently. Kagan has also missed some interesting polls. When asked last year whether they approved of the use of military power to protect their interests, British, French, Italian, and Polish respondents all showed more support for military action than did American respondents. Only the Germans were less enthusiastic. Europeans may not like wars—in which respect they are indeed at odds with the current US administration, though in tune with many Americans—but they are not pacifists, either.3
Kagan's claim that "weaker powers" (like Europe) historically seek to constrain stronger ones through international structures is likewise misleading. The international agencies we know today were the work of strong powers—notably the US. By universalizing and institutionalizing their own interests, great powers have a much better chance of convincing others to do their bidding, and can reduce the risk of provoking a "coalition of the unwilling" against them. If Kagan looks around him, he will see that this is what the US has recently been attempting in the United Nations—admittedly with limited success, thanks to international resentment at the "neo-Hobbesian" approach advocated by Kagan and his friends and practiced for the past two years.
Robert Kagan wants it both ways. At the end of his book he rather limply asks that Americans and Europeans show better mutual comprehension; but the foregoing 100 pages display not just ignorance of the recent European past and current European diversity, but an undertone of arrogant condescension, mixed with a certain amount of humbug: "The problem," he writes, is that "the United States must sometimes play by the rules of a Hobbesian world, even though in doing so it violates Europe's postmodern norms." But the norms that Washington currently violates are its own—there is nothing uniquely European, much less postmodern, about the rule of law or the desirability of peace over war. And as Kagan's whole book makes very clear, this doesn't pose a problem to him. For Kagan, the Europeans, to adapt an earlier exercise in imperial hubris, are "weeny, weedy and weaky." Violating their norms, for Robert Kagan and a new generation of policy specialists in Washington, is part of the fun.4
Like Kagan, Michael Mandelbaum believes that we live today in an American world and finds this a source of satisfaction. But otherwise the two could not be more different. There is a lot of history in The Ideas That Conquered the World, whose author teaches at the School of Advanced International Studies in Washington and is an established scholar of US foreign policy. There is also a seductive thesis. Mandelbaum argues that the twenty-first century will see the final apotheosis of the "Wilsonian triad": peace, markets, and democracy. After a century of conflict these three interrelated goals of liberal internationalism have triumphed over their historical foes, and the "plot" of post–cold war history will be their "defense, …maintenance,…and extension."
Mandelbaum's thesis connects two separate claims. The first is that democracy and free markets have become the condition of modern life in the sense that nations that do not subscribe to both are outside the international consensus. The second is that democracies conduct peaceful foreign policies and don't make war on one another. There has been much recent scholarly discussion of the latter assertion,5 but the general thesis is actually quite venerable: its eighteenth-century version can be found in both Montesquieu and Adam Smith, who argued that just government and limited taxation were good in themselves and likely to favor friendly relations among states. The idea that flourishing commerce (i.e., free markets) inhibits armed conflict can also be found in John Stuart Mill and a number of other nineteenth- century political economists.
Mandelbaum's distinctive contribution is to suggest that this process was heavily foreordained. His history of the ultimate vindication of Wilsonian principles is unashamedly "Whiggish." It isn't just good fortune that brought us to this happy pass, he suggests. Progress happens, and we are its beneficiaries. The ancien régime, agrarian societies, Leninism, fascism, and socialism all fell by the wayside because they were inefficient, or dysfunctional, or unpopular, or all three. Like Karl Marx, Michael Mandelbaum is attracted to the idea that capitalism wreaks creative destruction, bringing with it the ineluctable triumph of new economic and political forms—in this case, political democracy and the free market in goods and ideas. And these good things go together.6
This isn't entirely convincing: I'm not sure we were ever "bound" to end up where we happen to be and, in part for that reason, I'm pessimistic about our chances of staying there. The twentieth century could easily have gone in another direction: the triumph of democracy in particular looked quite unlikely as recently as 1941. As for free markets: they are inherently capricious (which is why earlier theorists thought they required firm political oversight). From an egalitarian point of view, market economies consistently misallocate goods, both within countries and between them. There is therefore always the likelihood, especially in a democracy, that the redistributive appeal of economic controls will trump the wealth-generating case for unregulated exchange, as indeed it did for much of the past century—and not only in "socialist" Europe. Democracy and the free market have proven enduringly compatible only under historically unusual conditions of prosperity, or else in protected domestic settings and typically at the expense of third parties somewhere else.7
Professor Mandelbaum knows this, of course. As he concedes, the relations that he posits are "a predisposition, not an inevitable law of politics." But he is an optimist. No one today, he writes, doubts that "peace, liberty, and prosperity" are the supreme ends of life. The twentieth century shows the price of thinking otherwise. Accordingly, the overriding question in international affairs is how to secure and preserve these hard-won lessons. It is one of the strengths of this book—in addition to the clarity of its prose—that the author's particular brand of idealism leads him to emphasize the role of the modern state.

Foreign comic books, romantic novels, heavy encyclopedias and children's schoolbooks are all part of Alicia Martín bizarre creations. Martin's latest work at the Museum Meermanno is a monumental book cascade that captured the attention of passers-by and invited them to wander inside. The Meermano's Paper Biennale showcased pieces by a variety of talented artists, but Martín's piece is the show's biggest and most wonderful.
The sculpture is based upon an iron frame skeleton and it's designed to change as time and the weather turn the pages yellow. The site-specific work leapt from one of the historic buildings' front windows and landed inside an ornate fence that strained to contain the books. (The fence is broken in the middle, as if it just couldn't stand the weight and power of the millions of written words.) Locals and residents could draw, underline or take any book they wanted, as they were not attached (at least the ones on the bottom).
The Hague´s Meermanno Museum focuses on international artists working with books and letters. It features spectacular installations, films and other art projects, so it was the perfect location for the Paper Biennale, which was full of works showing the versatility of paper.

NASCAR Noise with Barry Richmond
1988 was the year and October marks the month when my friend invited me to go to my first NASCAR race at Rockingham. From that point on
I was too cheap to buy race tickets. Within a year I was covering NASCAR for the Nestle- Danville newsletter. At the time we had drivers Chuck Bown and Jeff Gordon in the Busch Grand National Series.
Later I did photography for Winston Cup Scene and Speedway Scene
magazines. At the same time I was working for WBTM and we started the show
NASCAR Profile
. We decided the show would work better on WAKG and renamed the show
NASCAR Noise
Be listening Saturdays at 3:07pm, 5:07pm and 6:07pm, I'll give you the "insider information" you want to know about track conditions, driver's abilities at particular speedways, how weather affects the race and more! Plus, I mix in interviews with some of NASCAR's best drivers.

The Limelight - a church, then a nightclub, now a mall!
The sanguine days of the Holy Communion, pictured here over 150 years before it would be reconfigured as a shopping mall (from Booth's History of New York, mid 19th century, courtesy NYPL)
On Friday afternoon, yet another completely implausible transformation will overtake Holy Communion Episcopal Church when it reopens as the Limelight Marketplace, a spacious mall with 60 retailers sitting aside Gothic church features and the ghosts of strung-out club kids.
In honor of this curious transformation, I'm reprinting (with revisions) my history of this building and its later incarnation as the Limelight, one of the most notorious dance clubs of the 1990s. (Originally posted on Aug 10, 2007)
Holy Communion Episcopal Church was never meant to be the gateway to Hell. This lush Gothic style was designed and completed between 1844-1846 by Richard Upjohn, one of early America's great architects, the master of Gothic Revival style and creator of downtown's Trinity Church. It was built during a grand time for new churches in the city; in addition to Trinity (which opened in 1846), James Renwick was finishing up work that same year on Grace Church.
Upjohn designed the new chapel for its founder, the Reverend William Muhlenberg, a rector from Flushing, Queens, and known today as the founder of the Episcopal religious school movement. Perhaps the architect could foresee the church's future tilting towards the bizarre, as it's the first asymmetrical Gothic church in America. The first! Think of all the uniform symmetry in most churches over 150 years old, and you'll appreciate its uniqueness.
In its prime, the toast of New York filled its pews, including Cornelius Vanderbilt, John Jacob Astor and Jay Gould. A shadow of its altruistic days can still be seen hovering over St Luke's Hospital (now St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center), which the congregation helped found. To tie this into our podcast on the Dakota Apartments, it was in this hospital that John Lennon died of his wounds sustained at the Dakota.
A convent was added in 1854 where the "Guardians of the Sisterhood of the Holy Communion" -- one of the first Anglican orders of nuns -- cared for the sick and infirm, well into the new century.
The church fell upon hard times by the mid-century and was eventually sold to a drug rehabilitation center. According to a bishop at the time, there was an implicit understanding that the house of worship was always meant to help the needy. Then Peter Gatien came along, catering to a different kind of need.
Gatien was a club owner who gobbled up nightclub spaces and transformed them into branded clubs called the Limelight -- first in Hollywood, Florida, then Atlanta, and London. (He would eventually own many clubs in Manhattan, including the Tunnel, the Palladium downtown, and Club USA.) The Gothic church on 6th Ave proved too enticing -- the one in London was also in a former house of worship -- and soon Gatien turned the once reverent spot into a house of decadence, opening on November 1983.
From People Magazine's coverage of the club opening: "Is this consecrated ground?" asked fashion photographer Francesco Scavullo nervously. "Everybody's having a good time, so I'm not putting it down," said supermodel Cheryl Tiegs, there with hubby Peter Beard. "Listen," chimed in Judy Garland's daughter Lorna Luft, "they've been dancing in churches for a long time. Now we've just got a little bass added."
The Limelight distorted Upjohn's Gothic furnishings through a funhouse mirror. Its labyrinthine hallways and stairwells spilled into ornately designed lounges and dancefloors. Old marble crypts sat next to rows of liquor bottles. The chapel became a VIP lounge. Upstairs, surrealist illustrator HR Giger, famous for his designs of the creatures from the Alien films, created a signature dance floor.
However it was its occupants that made the headlines. In the late 80s and 90s, Peter Gatien and the Limelight helped foster its own buffet of self-made celebrities, the club kid, brightly colored freakshows whose only purpose was to shock and make everybody feel smaller.
Ruler among them was Michael Alig, an extravagent promoter of both his club, his lifestyle and himself. A protege of another nightlife maven James St James, Alig's wild parties at the Limelight were the stuff of urban legend.
Actual celebrities who frequented the club, like Eddie Murphy and Michael Douglas, were no match for Alig and his menagerie, which often included a few New York celebrities around today -- Amanda LaPore, Rupaul and the duo Heatherette, now legitimate fashion designers in their own right.
The avarice of the early '90s would lead to the downfalls of the Limelight's main characters. Alig would be charged with murdering fellow club kid Angel Melendez. Gatien was arrested on drug charges in 1996 -- by then, the Limelight was a veritable candy store for ecstacy and 'special k' -- and in 1999 for tax evasion. Alig is in prison, serving a 20-year sentence; Gatien is in Canada, presumably forever.
The Limelight itself? After a dramatic shuttering in 2001, the club was reopened under the name Avalon, and still entertains throngs craving a thumping beat and a really expensive cocktail. The club kids are gone, but ghosts remain, as do the crypts.
You can of course catch a glimpse of the decadence in the film Party Monster, about the kooky days of Alig and the Club Kids, both in documentary and Macauley Culkin-vehicle formats. Harvey Keitel also takes a visit to the club in Bad Lieutenant.

20th and 6th. It's a mall now. *sob*ReplyDelete
I miss Peter's NYC Limelight. Here are some pictures from when Absolution was there.ReplyDelete
This place was a church a night club and a mall all together? Or are you saying that they happened at different times just in the same place? I've been looking for a new place to hang out, so which one is it! I guess a church, a night club, or a mall could work. Whichever exists!ReplyDelete
This place meant the world to me. I just loved to have dance my ass off their. I've had the best times of my life in that club. I've partied their in the VIP room with Barbara Eden. And many more celebrities. Oh God how I've miss this place. I always use to say bring me to the light. Oh how many times I've closed that place usually being the last one on the dance floor.

And people well the workers have seen the ghost
Good luck to the people working there

On Monday there was an opinion piece on evangelists on campus and how the Catholics stood out as reasonable and approachable when contrasted with the preachers shouting messages of hell at students. Perfectly shows why we evangelize the way we do.
Here is a snip:
It's a sad day on campus when being respectful causes someone to stand out, but here we are. Catholic students, representing St. Mary's Catholic Center, stand patiently in Academic Plaza alongside whatever Christian sideshow has come to town and wait for students to initiate conversations with them. Their choice neon yellow T-shirts, which read "Ask a Catholic a Question," are a little ostentatious, but when standing next to a guy with a sign that says "You're going to Hell," they could dress in yellow chicken suits and seem tame.One more:
Ask a Catholic a Question began in the spring of 2007 to spread awareness of Catholic beliefs to students, from students. They answer questions from a steady stream of people most days when they appear in Academic Plaza. On days when a preacher is on campus stirring up polarizing views, the dichotomy between the two becomes immediately apparent.Amen! Confirmation we are doing the right thing the right way.
FYI - I found out that St. Lawrence at KU has also picked up Ask A Catholic A Question. I hope this spreads - we need more evangelists on campus.
UPDATE - I have a radio interview on The SonRise Morning Show on Tuesday morning highlighting Ask A Catholic A Question. It will be fun.

2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK gets its diesel on
by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) on Apr 4th, 2012 at 1:29PM
Like the existing GLK but not such a fan of its incredibly boxy styling? Or like the styling just fine but just wish it had a diesel? Well we've got good news for you, friends, because Mercedes-Benz has just taken the wraps off a revised model that aims to remedy both. Not only does the 2013 GLK-Class get the familiar new family face, but what's behind it has been replaced as well. That means a direct-injection 3.5-liter V6 for the GLK350 that's more powerful and more efficient than the powerplant it replaces, and also a 2.1-liter turbodiesel that joins the family wearing GLK250 BlueTEC...

But he had to sign for her to join and he finally did after some fancy talking! She and my two brothers Roger and Harold Irish whom I have sent you photos of we were very proud of and are thankful that all three came safely home to us!

Mission Statement
Reference and Instruction Services support the mission of Kimbel Library and Coastal Carolina University by developing information literate students through research assistance and library instruction.
Information literate students can define an information need and have the ability to access, evaluate and ethically use information to create new information or add to their knowledge base.
Reference and Instruction Services provide a comprehensive program that includes individual assistance and course-integrated instruction. Reference and Instruction Services develop information resources to facilitate self-directed discovery and lifelong learning.
Program Goals
- To develop information literate students who can think critically
- To collaborate with faculty to integrate information literacy across the curriculum
- To become teachers who are aware of best practices and current trends in information literacy
- To develop information literacy classes using constructivist pedagogy and methods that appeal to various learning styles and diversity of learners
- To establish a system of assessment of student learning outcomes
- To periodically evaluate the information literacy program and make revisions as needed
Library Instruction Request Form
Faculty who would like to schedule a library instruction session for their class can fill out the online request form here.
How to Schedule a Session
Faculty requesting a library instruction session can fill out the instruction request form. Check the library instruction calendar for available dates and times. For questions or help with the online form or calendar, call the reference office at 843-349-2414 for assistance.
Due to space and staffing restrictions, only one library instruction session can be scheduled at a time. Faculty wishing to reserve their desired dates are encouraged to request instruction sessions as early in the semester as possible.

English 101/102 Classes
English 101
The English 101 session takes place in the library instruction classroom and utilizes hands-on activities. In the course of the session, students will work on locating specific materials for use in their individual projects. As an integrated part of the syllabus, the most successful sessions occur at the point in the semester when students have identified a topic and are beginning their research. English 101 Learning Outcomes.
English 102
The English 102 session takes place in the library instruction classroom and utilizes hands-on activities. The focus is on doing research in a subject specific area, Literature. These presentations and activities build on the skills learned in English 101. As with the English 101 session, the best time to schedule a session is after students have selected a topic and as they begin their research. English 102 Learning Outcomes.
Distance Education Classes
For more information on library services for distance education courses, please visit the distance education page here.
Other University Classes
Library Instruction sessions are available to all undergraduate and graduate classes at Coastal Carolina University. Each session is individually tailored to the research needs of the students in the class and in the discipline.
Coastal Carolina University freshmen receive a basic introduction to research skills through University 110, English 101, English 102 or English 211, but these sessions do not cover resources in the subject disciplines.
Faculty teaching at the sophomore, junior and senior levels are encouraged to incorporate library instruction sessions in any classes that require research.
Sessions can include:
- locating information and resources in the discipline.
- identifying and locating refereed journals in the discipline.
- search strategies for effectively using discipline specific citation indexes such as Oceanic Abstracts, ERIC, PSYCHINFO, Medline, America History and Life, WorldCat, etc.
- search strategies for locating full text articles in discipline specific databases such as JSTOR, Project Muse, ScienceDirect, IEEE.
- evaluating Internet sites.
Non-Coastal Classes
Library Instruction sessions are offered to non-Coastal classes that meet the following requirements:
- The students must be engaged in a research project. Students must have already exhausted the resources of their school library and local public library before coming to Kimbel Library. Many of the databases used in Kimbel Library are also available to all school libraries in South Carolina through Discus. When the session is scheduled the teacher is asked to provide full details of the assignment, as well as their research expectations for the class.
- Sessions are limited to no more than 25 students at a time due to space limitations in the library. One teacher or adult must be present for every 10 students. Teachers are asked to stay with the group to help assist them in their research efforts.
- Sessions are only offered when Coastal classes are not in session. Please refer to the Coastal calendar. Teachers are urged to make arrangements as early as possible to ensure getting the dates they want.
- Every effort will be made to accomodate school classes, but availabilty of tours is not guaranteed. Library Instruction sessions are not provided for Horry-Georgetown Technical College classes since similar sessions are available at HGTC.
- General information tours are available to non-school groups. Two week advance notice is required and availability of such tours may be limited.
- Exceptions to the above requirements will be made only by the Head of Public Services.
Teachers interested in scheduling a session for their class should call the Reference department at 843-349-2414 to make arrangements for the session.
Room Use Policy
The purpose of the library's instruction room is to support the library's information literacy program. The room is for the use of librarian led instruction sessions. Currently, the library uses KL 110 as the main instructional space. KL 219 is available when TEAL does not have faculty instructional sessions scheduled.
Due to the demand for library instruction sessions, the instructional rooms are available only for librarian led sessions. If a faculty member wishes to use the library instructional space, a librarian led instruction session or workshop must be booked in advance. Faculty wishing to locate alternative space for their classes should contact the Conference Facilities Coordinator 843-349-3432.
Upon the completion of the final instruction session for the semester, KL 110 will be available to students for overflow study space during the final weeks of the semester.
One of the most important aspects of library instruction is assessment of the program and its goals. Assessment is carried out through a variety of formal and informal methods.
Pre- and post-testing is conducted within the University 110 or English 101 program . The results are used to indicate information literacy skill areas where first year students are making or failing to make progress. The results are used to revise instuctional sessions and teaching materials.
Additionally, the library will participate, when possible, in national information literacy assessments such as the Project SAILS test. Results will be used to offer a peer comparison to other institutions.
The library is committed to providing a means for faculty to share feedback with individual librarians regarding their instruction session. An online form is available for faculty use. Feedback will be used by the individual instructors to improve their current teaching practices.
Questions regarding the information literacy program are included in student and faculty surveys. The surveys provide a measure of perceived satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the information literacy program.
The library actively tracks instruction statistics. By tracking details such as discipline and course level, the library is able to work with faculty to design sessions that expose students to information skills at the appropriate level and intensity.
Research Guides
Kimbel Library provides online research guides in many subject areas. Research guides are available here.
Library Tutorials and Instructional Videos
Kimbel Library has created several tutorials on a variety of topics of interest to faculty and students. Please visit the Kimbel Library Tutorials page to view tutorials.The library has also created an instructional video series that covers basic research skills. These videos were produced in support of University 110 and Biology 122, but may be consulted for general use as well. You can view the videos on our Kimbel Library Instructional Videos page.

by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Sep 21st, 2010 at 7:26PM
Aston Martin continues to march forward with its One-77. The soon-to-be-ultra-rare hypercar is closer than ever to production, and according to the minds behind its creation, when it hits the street, it will boast the world's most powerful naturally-aspirated production car engine. With 750 horsepower and 750 lb-ft of torque, the 7.3-liter V12 is a marvel of automotive and acoustic engineering. Despite the company's plans to produce just 77 examples of its halo model, Aston Martin says that it's bent on making sure that each and every one of the vehicles can stand up to the same level...

Believe it or not, a large percentage of racers don't turn the throttle wide open. They think they do, but they don't. If your racing career has stalled out, you've plateaued, and you can't seem to make the next leap forward in speed, perhaps it's time to re-evaluate your right wrist. Here are some tips.
Measure your arms: With your bike on its stand, climb on board and sit down in your normal riding position. Reach out and grab the throttle. Does it feel comfortable? Can you reach it? Do you have slack in your arm? Are you stretched out?
Give it a twist: Once you are comfortable with your position, give the throttle a twist. Don't exaggerate the movement, just turn the throttle the way you normally would. Did it go all the way to the stop without your elbow dropping? Did your arm feel as comfortable with the throttle on as it did when you were sitting there? Did you feel the need to re-grip?
Finesse your grip: Your throttle isn't a baseball bat, tennis racket or jungle gym. It's an active mechanism. Don't grab hold of it like your life depends on it (even though it does). Try to hold the throttle with a light touch. Don't jam your hand onto the grip so hard that there is pressure at the base of your thumb.
Watch that elbow: Once you have adjusted your grip to a kinder and gentler feel, practice positioning your palm on the grip so that you have enough rotation of the throttle housing to get the slide pulled all the way up without dropping your elbow or kinking your wrist. You may have to start your grip higher up on the arc of the throttle housing to get full pull. Find that sweet spot and learn where it is.
Open the door: Try to visualize your throttle as a door knob. Don't reach out and grab it like an orangutan (with all four fingers lined up across the barrel). Instead, tilt your elbow up and slide your hand down the throttle grip as though you were reaching for a door knob. Your hand will be positioned at an angle, with your index finger closer to your body than your pinky finger. Once you have mastered the door knob grip, you will turn the throttle with a twisting motion of the wrist, instead of an up-and-down motion of your arm.
Apply what you learned: After spending 15 minutes in the pits, go out on the track and start riding. Try to keep your right elbow up, concentrate on gripping the throttle barrel in the optimum location and practice turning the throttle like a door knob. But, don't expect it to feel natural. The most important thing about your first practice session is to make sure that you turn the throttle wide open (even if you have to drop your elbow, grit your teeth and betray your prehensile roots).
Turn it to the stops: You'll be surprised how much faster your bike is once you start turning the throttle all the way. Concentrate on what the bike feels like with the slide pulled all the way. You'll be surprised to discover that you have not been using all the power you had on tap.
Now that you have spent some personal time with your throttle, it's time to put the whole package together.
(1) Sit on your bike again and place your hands on the grips. Loosen the bar mounts and rotate the bars. If you aren't getting full throttle rotation, try nudging the bars forward a few millimeters (this makes it easier to get rotation). If your arm is too outstretched, try moving the bars back a few millimeters. Choosing the correct bar bend, position and sweep plays a role in effective use of the throttle.
(2) Concentrate on the door knob technique and, by all means, loosen your grip. Holding on tight is counterproductive.
(3) Whenever the conditions allow it, turn the throttle wide open. Amazingly, the average rider can knock almost a second off his lap times by re-evaluating his throttle control. If you are like most riders, you aren't turning your throttle far enough.
(4) Don't even think of turning the throttle unless you mean it. Full throttle requires a major commitment. You can't be willy-nilly. Learn how the throttle works, what it does to the powerband, and then try to hit the sweet spots. Time spent twizzling the throttle is time wasted.

The Guess Who
Superstars in their native Canada, the Guess Who were recording as Chad Allan and the Expressions when their record label decided they'd sell more albums if audiences thought they were stealth superstars from the British Invasion. Their debut album was thus coyly emblazoned "Guess Who?" -- and the name stuck. Co-founded by Chad Allan and Randy Bachman in the early '60s, the group enjoyed its greatest success after Burton Cummings became lead vocalist in the wake of Allan's 1966 departure. The 1969 single "These Eyes" became a huge hit both in Canada and in the U.S., and was followed the next year by "American Woman." The latter, with less-than-affectionate Vietnam-era lyrics about Canada's neighbor to the south, became the group's greatest American hit -- thoughtfully omitted from the program when the Guess Who performed for President and Mrs. Nixon and Prince Charles. The group began to fall apart in the '70s, as Bachman's conversion to Mormonism led him to spurn the rock lifestyle; he left the group in 1970 to found what would become Bachman Turner Overdrive. While the group had several more hits, including "Share the Land," Cummings officially broke up the Guess Who in 1975 when he left to pursue a solo career. Since that time, a frequently changing lineup continues to reunite and tour occasionally as the Guess Who.
