[Series] Library School Starter Kit – a class checklist
17/08/2011 § 12 Comments
If you didn't read Zack's post on Monday, (Library School Starter Kit) check it out here. Otherwise, read on for some suggestions about classes as you start library school!
You are probably "stuck" taking required (core) courses this term, and that's good! If you took what you WANTED to take, you might not be challenged. You might be missing out on some good foundational information about LIS. You might not meet your favorite group member. You might miss your favorite instructor! You might miss an opportunity for your cohort to make an inside joke that will last for years to come! You might not realize that even though you really WANT to be an academic librarian, you really SHOULD be a public librarian. Library School has a way of helping you find yourself.
So, while you're taking those first couple of required courses, you've got to peruse the course catalog! You may think you have just started classes, but before you know it, an adviser will be contacting you and announcing class registration dates and times and instructions. Be prepared. Here's how.
- Cover your butt and take the required courses in the "suggested order" and at the "suggested term" The next-to-last thing you want is to be taking a required course instead of working at an awesome internship because you didn't follow instructions or suggestions from advisers. The last thing you want is to be graduating late (and spending more money) because you couldn't get into a required class because you decided not to take it at the right time. Follow the instructions or suggestions from your advisors. Which leads me to…
- Advisors have memorized the course catalog. They really do want to help you (and the rest of your cohort), so use them wisely. One of the best ways to get information from them is to make a special filter/folder for the emails they send you. This way it's easier to go back and reread what they've told you. Re-reading also prevents you from asking them questions they've already given you answers to. If it's easier for you to understand through a face-to-face meeting, ask for one! Even if it is over Skype! gChat w video or A Google+ Hangout, but don't be overbearing. Your adviser probably has a lot of other people to advise and sometimes answers to your questions are better found through the second+ year students.
- Pick our brains! When you join a student org (whether it is formal or informal), talk to the students who are farther along in the program. Ask what they would do if they were back at the beginning of their program. Ask questions about professors. Ask questions about assignments. Ask questions about textbooks. Ask questions about practice vs theory (see next bullet). I'm sure they'll want to talk and they'll definitely have an opinion about the course or topic. I honestly picked another student's brain on the bus for about 45 minutes and she didn't care AND I learned SO much about what to do my second year.
- Practice vs. Theory. You can never think about this too much. Well, I'm sure you can, but it's not a bad thing! Through your conversations with advisers and other students, attempt to find a personal balance for practice and theory in LIS. A balance that allows you to have the best education you can. There will be some classes that are heavily theory-based and require written papers and in-depth research, models and perhaps a chance to publish! But there will also be practice-based classes where you will stand up and give booktalks, design bulletin boards, or write an outline for a Library Launch for college freshmen. The practice vs theory debate is not a new one. Here's one of my posts about it; It's been talked about on the blog here, too. but it is new to you and therefore YOU get to decide what works for your learning style. Talk about it!
- Have a "fun" course scheduled every term. Although you do have to get your required courses out of the way, make sure you designate one of your courses as "the fun one". One way to do this is through the use of Pass/Fail or Credit/No Credit. This gives you more time to focus on the content and less stress about the grade you're going to get. If it's your fun class, you're more likely to do the assignments anyway. And if there's absolutely not one single course you can make your "fun" one, consider looking at graduate courses outside of the LIS program that could still give you credit and also be a benefit to your education.
LISers, this is going to be a great time in your life. And you're fortunate to have the support of your HLS writers and editors as long as you stay in contact with us. Share your questions, concerns, thoughts and ideas. Let's grow together!
§ 12 Responses to [Series] Library School Starter Kit – a class checklist
Honestly, I think the "advisors have memorized the course catalog" is a little overly idealistic. I may be speaking from my anecdoctal experience of sitting in my advisor's office as she calls down to the student services to double-check a question about a class, but surely my advisor is not the only one who doesn't have absolutely everything memorized. I think the more useful advice is to figure out who has the best answers for questions. Whether it's your adviser, your classmates, the people who work in the office, or another professor. Don't put your stock all into one person.
I absolutely recommend talking to current and past students to get the "real deal" about classes and professors in your program. A course may look great on paper but be terrible with a bad professor, or may look dull on paper and turn out to be great with an excellent professor. If you are taking online classes this is doubly true.
I cannot speak to all LIS programs, but in mine, the advisors were administrative staff members who did not have LIS degrees; they were not professors. If this is your situation, then I highly recommend consulting with professors, even if it is just your first term and you talk to the profs from your required classes.
I have an alternative perspective on the issue of required course order. I took all the LIS requirements in order and for the most part, it worked for me. However, if you *KNOW* what area of libraries you wish to pursue and you can take some courses in your specialization at the same time that you take the requirements, it may be valuable to do so. This may not be possible due to the prerequisite structure at your school.
I believe that I LOST an internship opportunity because I was a part-time student and had not yet taken some specialization courses. I know of other students in my program who started the specialization classes early, along with requirements, and they were able to get internships that matched their interests. If you can speak to other students in your program, or professors who share your specialization, they can advise you better about what courses you really need to take in order.
This is an excellent series. Thank you Hack Library School.
Definitely second the "asking fellow students" and "ask a professor" EARLY –official "advisers" often don't know anything. I hate to admit it, but I attended a very nicely ranked school where one of the professors required to do adviser duty *actually* sat at his desk and said "I pride myself on not knowing course names or numbers, but you should probably take cataloging at some point" when I came to him TOTALLY confused about required classes and scheduling problems. Needless to say, I left within 4 mins and almost didn't graduate in time because the non-advice meant I was floundering around, getting second hand information at the last minute from peers.
If you have a choice of any professor as adviser, as my school operates, make sure you ask around to see who gives the best advice.
Also, be SUPER MINDFUL of registration dates–my school stopped sending out emails saying "you can register at this time on this day" my 2nd year, which meant that I had no idea when registration opened for my particular school. 4 hours into registration, not a single class was left and I spent almost 3 months haggling to get into a required-for-graduation course. DON'T BE ME, okay?
Although finishing required courses in a timely fashion is important, I also think it's *extremely* important to take a class related to what you think you want to do, early on in your school career. I went to library school because I thought I wanted to be a public children's librarian….boy was I wrong! Luckily I took an Urban Public Librarianship class my first semester and was able to switch gears and pursue another path in school.

SF Intermediate School experiencing delays in progress
While the open house for the South Fayette School District's new intermediate school building is not scheduled until Aug. 10, the district was told the building would be substantially complete by July 22. That is the date that occupancy permits should be issued by, according to Joe Brennan of construction management firm P.J. Dick.
However, the district and school board received a letter dated July 10 from primary contractor Massaro Corporation that disclosed the work on the new building will not be completed by July 22. Joe Tavella of Massaro stated at a July 17 school board meeting that the company is "working with the district to get in by July 22."
School board members asked representatives from Massaro attending the meeting if the district has done anything to impede the work, to which Tavella replied that some change orders have impeded the work as materials have not been delivered on time for the completion date.
The board has been receiving monthly construction updates on the progress of the new building. Fornella pointed out that up until recently, the board has been told the project was a month ahead of schedule.
Joseph Massaro assured the board that certificates of occupancy will be in hand by July 22. "We're going to be done," Massaro said.
Fornella, who toured the building on July 14, told Massaro, "What I saw Sunday was appalling," as far as the amount of work that still needed to be done at that time.
"I understand your anxiety, but we will be done," Massaro said. "I don't know why you are upset the way you are. I think it's a great project," he added.
Fornella added, "July 22 is not a soft deadline, it's a hard deadline. We have to get moved into that building." The board has already conveyed to Massaro that there will be penalties if the district cannot move into the building by that date.
In the July 10 letter, it was stated that tile flooring for the STEAM classroom still needs to be installed and a set of stairs needs to be finished. In order to meet occupancy permit requirements, Tavella told the board that temporary treads and landings will be installed on the stairs. He added the materials from the stairs will not arrive at the site until July 29.
Also, delivery of the custom wall covering for the STEAM classroom is a couple of weeks away, Tavella said.
The digital sign for in front of the building will not arrive on site until Aug. 6, due to a delay in ordering the sign. Representatives from Massaro said the sign was not approved until the morning of July 17 because of the addition of the word "township" to the sign.
Superintendent Dr. Bille Rondinelli pointed out that there was a delay in getting the information on the change to the district for approval.
Tavella said there have been challenges with getting the granite for the clearstory area out of Canada, from where it was ordered. He said it was ordered in the middle of June. Mini-blinds and shades also need to be ordered.
Massaro told the board, "You have our word. We'll get it done."
A walk-through of the building for administrators and board members was scheduled for July 19. The grand opening of the building is set for 9 a.m. Aug. 10.

Fuel Sending Units
What is a Fuel Sending Unit and where is it Located?
The fuel sending unit is located at the back of the vehicle inside of the fuel tank. Its purpose is to measure the fuel level inside of the diesel fuel or gas tank, allow fuel to flow to the engine, allow excess fuel to return back to the tank, and vent excess vapors from the fuel tank. On some vehicles, the sending unit may also include the fuel pump, which usually comes with a fuel sock - a filter that is designed to prevent any large material from entering the fuel pump. While fuel sending units may differ in terms of how they are designed, their functional purpose remains the same.
Inside of every vehicle, there is a fuel gauge that provides the driver with a visual indication of how much fuel is left inside of the fuel tank. This of course helps the driver monitor the vehicle's fuel level and to know when the tank needs to be filled up, and avoid running out of gas. However, the fuel gauge is just the indicator; behind it is the vehicle's fuel delivery system, and a major component of that system is the fuel sending unit which measures and then sends the fuel gauge on your dashboard information about the tank's current fuel level.
Before getting into what a fuel sending unit consists of and how it works exactly, let's briefly touch on some terminology. Many different names are used when referring to a fuel sending unit, and they are completely interchangeable – they all refer to the same part. The most common are:
How a Fuel Sending Unit Works
Ok, so how does a fuel sender unit work exactly? Well, inside of the sending unit there is a float, which is usually made out of foam, plastic or even a thin metal. Connected to the float is a thin, metal rod which is mounted to a variable resistor on the opposite end. This variable resistor is an electrical device whose job is to resist the flow of electricity. The resistor itself consists of a strip of resistive material, and one side of this material is connected to the ground. A wiper, which is electrically connected to the fuel gauge, slides along this resistive material and this movement conducts current from the gauge to the variable resistor. Here is a diagram of an example fuel level sensor which should help you get a better idea of where each of these different things are usually found and what they typically look like:
Now, if the wiper is close to the side of the strip that is grounded, this indicates that there is less resistive material in the path of the current, and so the resistance is small; as a result of this lack of resistance, more current will flow from the fuel sender unit to the gauge. On the other hand, if the wiper is at the other end of the strip, this means that there is more resistive material in the current's path, and so the resistance is large; as a result of this greater resistance, less current will flow from the fuel tank sending unit back to the fuel gauge.
Ok, so now you are probably wondering what this level of resistance and amount of current flow tells us (and the fuel gauge) then. Well, that depends on the application as it can vary, but essentially it is this difference between the wiper and the resistive material on the variable resistor that tells the fuel gauge the amount of fuel that there is in the tank. Let's illustrate one particular application in which case the fuel sending unit takes a reading and the level of resistance it encounters while doing this is very little. In this example application, this signals that the float within the fuel level sensor is at or near the top of the vehicle's fuel tank (essentially submerged in the fuel tank). This then tells the fuel gauge that there is a full or nearly full supply of fuel in the vehicle's diesel fuel or gas tank, and the needle on your fuel gauge will thus point more towards the full side. In contrast, again using this same application as an example, if the resistance that the fuel gauge sending unit encounters while taking a reading is high, this signals that the float has dropped and is closer to the bottom of the fuel tank. This then tells the fuel gauge that the level of fuel in the tank is on the low side, and the needle on your fuel gauge will thus point more towards the empty side. However, in another application this may be completely opposite; low resistance will mean the float is at the bottom of the diesel fuel or gas tank equaling low fuel while high resistance will mean the float is towards the top of the fuel tank equaling higher fuel level. So again, it can vary depending on the application. Of course, no matter the application there are varying levels of resistance between the two extremes as the float drops and rises, and that is of course indicated on your gauge as the needle goes from showing a full tank, to a tank that is half full / half empty, to a completely empty tank, and everything else in between.
When is a Fuel Sending Unit Replacement Needed?
Fuel sending units are typically replaced if they are rusted, if the fuel pump has gone bad, or if the fuel gauge does not show correct fuel levels due to a bad float. Knowing what your vehicle's fuel level is, is of course extremely important; you don't want to be running out of gas on that long road trip thinking your tank is full, or want to see the fuel gauge's needle pointing to "E" after you just filled your fuel tank. So if your fuel gauge is giving you the wrong information and making you guess at how much fuel you have left, then it's important that you obtain a fuel sending unit replacement as soon as possible.
While removal of the sensor requires only basic hand tools, getting at the sender unit can be difficult since it usually requires removing the diesel fuel or gas tank for access. Having a copy of the service manual for your automobile and reading through the procedure will certainly help.
Need a Fuel Sending Unit Replacement?
If your engine is having trouble getting gas, you have had dirt or debris in you fuel tank, or your fuel gauge seems to be acting funny and giving off inaccurate readings, then you may need a fuel sending unit replacement.

Depends on the questions ...
You call that good? I only got 16/30 you know, for the standard.
yeah 2nd is school is really good
I was impressed by how well you did in your in school competition. Jenilia.
Thanks for teaching me Ganesh.
Nora can paint 1/6 of a house in 1 day.
I got a question to ask? Nora can paint 1/6 of a house in 1 day. Meera can paint the whole house 2 days faster. If both of them paint the house together, how long will they take.
Hey, maybe you can try next time. Anyway I just participated in the best in school competition. Out of 360 students I came in the second.
[be nice] Anyone from Australia?? we just recently did a olympiad test and i got 3/5. how saad. it's about this ant walking around this cube.
I guess it doesn't matter how big the deck of cards is, so long as we know they are unique numbers.
Maths is fun, can you explain the answer for the seniors question.
Well, perhaps we could take one of those questions, and try reasoning it out, so that Jenilia and everyone else can learn techniques.
I posted some links on that earlier.
Maybe we could find some sample questions

Knit Sleeve Tee
Item# 5052133
Sorry, this item is no longer available!
- Comfortable stretch jersey
- Slubbed knit sleeves
- Back Yoke with shirring detail
- Hi-low curved hem
- 100% Rayon
- Machine wash.
- Imported
SIZE UP! I ordered this (luckly on an awesome sale) in the white color, and for whatever silly reason I ordered a size down, I'm usually so good at reading reviews but for whatever reason I didn't see others advice. SIZE UP FOR THE LENGTH! The top is very short (not belly bearing) too short to be worn alone, I'll probably save it to wear under sweaters this fall and winter. The sleeves, while adding a nice detail, are so sheer that my nude bra strap is clearly visible, so if you plan to wear this top without a sweater, vest or cardi, you should plan on wearing a strapless bra with it. Very disapointed with purchase. August 28, 2013
Love it I purchased this in Blue and then again in white. I am not a huge fan of white but I loved the cut so much I had to get another and the white one was the only one in my size. Please keep this cut in stock! August 16, 2013
great top It's a great basic white top, but with some added design. Love it. August 16, 2013
Comfortable & Chic This shirt was even better than I anticipated. It is so soft and comfortable, but still has a classy, chic look. The (blue) color was just as bright and fun as it showed on the site. Definitely recommend. For sizing purposes, I am 5'5", 145 pounds. I ordered the Medium, and it is a great fit. Not too tight, not too snug. July 31, 2013
Size Up - It Shrinks! I normally wear a Medium in Limited shirts, but I decided to size up to a Large because I wanted it to fit looser. Thank goodness I did, as other reviewers noted, it shrinks after the first wash! I'll still wear it, but would not buy it again. July 17, 2013
Too short I ordered this in the blue, and expected it to be the same length and size as all the other layering tops I've bought from the Limited. As much as I absolutely LOVED the color and the style, it was significantly shorter than the others. Too short to keep, sent it back. June 26, 2013
cute casual shirt I'm really happy with this tee. Being it was called a tee I wasn't expecting what I received but I'm happy non the less. It's cool and airy. Not to long or to short...just perfect. I'm 5'8". Nice casual summer top. I usually order a size Med but needed a large in this top June 16, 2013
Comfy Bliss Loved this shirt with knit sleeve detailing on both the new shorts in the latest collection and on the Outback collection shorts. It's soft and roomy, giving it the perfect relaxed fit. This is definitely something I'm going to love traveling with. June 13, 2013

Anand-Gelfand G5, a Sveshnikov Sicilian, drawn after 27 moves (VIDEO)
While Evgeny Sveshnikov attended the World Championship match in Moscow for the first time, Vishy Anand and Boris Gelfand played "his" opening today. For the first time in this match the World Champion played 1.e4, and the challenger chose the defence that has three names: Sveshnikov, Pelikan or Chelyabinsk. Black equalized comfortably and a draw was agreed on move 27. The score is 2.5-2.5 with seven more games to play.
There was some excitement at the start of game 5 in Moscow today, but unfortunately it was short-lived. Unlike in his previous white games, Vishy Anand didn't play 1.d4 but instead chose 1.e4. Boris Gelfand was of course prepared for this ("It's not the most rare move. If you prepare for a World Championship match, you have to be ready for 1.e4," he said afterwards) and only briefly reacted by looking up to the ceiling for half a second, and then firmly responded with 1...c5, the Sicilian.
But which Sicilian would it be? After Anand developed his king's knight, Gelfand did not push his queen's pawn one square, which would normally lead to the Najdorf variation, but instead he put his queen's knight to c6. A few moments later it became clear which surprise weapon the Israeli had cooked up against 1.e4: the Sveshnikov.
Gelfand plays 5...e5 - the Sveshnikov/Pelikan/Chelyabinsk Sicilian
This opening had been played only once before in a World Championship match, in 1910 by Emanuel Lasker against Karl Schlechter (who played the dubious 6.Nb3). It was expected to come on the board in the match between Peter Leko and Vladimir Kramnik in 2004, but it didn't happen.
A wonderful coincidence was that exactly today, Evgeny Sveshnikov himself, the legendary Latvian grandmaster who started playing this system as early as in 1963, attended the match. He entered the press room about 20 minutes into the game, and spoke with many journalists who wanted to know his opinion about the opening. We were one of the first to speak to Sveshnikov, and so you'll see him in the video below (together with GM Alexander Grischuk, who also came to the Tretyakov for the first time and gave commentary for the official website).
Unfortunately that was about all the excitement there was, because also this game quickly petered out to a draw. It became clear even more how well prepared Gelfand is, and today Grischuk praised Gelfand's choice of going for something new or almost new against both 1.d4 and 1.e4. (Gelfand only played the Sveshnikov a few times in his long career, and the last time in a serious game was in 2003.)
Anand played what is currently considered as White's best attempt to get an advantage: 11.c4, where 11.c3 used to be the main line. From the speed with which Gelfand was playing we can conclude that he knew exactly what he was doing. Just after the opening he already neutralized white's first move advantage, and at move 27 Anand offered a draw. To the question whether this had been Gelfand's easiest game, he answered: "Probably, yes."
The two players just before the start of the game 5 press conference
So far the games haven't provided much entertainment, and perhaps as a result of that the players haven't been able to provide very interesting quotes at the press conferences. Today they were asked about the fact that they both have a one year old son at home. Anand:
You can't prepare 24 hours anyway and I think playing with your son is a very enjoyable way to relax a little bit, I mean it certainly brought me a lot of joy. To be fair, I'd have to admit that my wife helped me a lot.
Gelfand said that he didn't see his children much in the past six months, but that he hopes to "make it up this summer".
Match score
I took the metro home and settled down to restart watching the match, hoping for an exciting battle what with having seen e4 and the Sicilian an all...but was already 0.5 - 0.5 lol.

A little disappointed today. Not with the draw, they can happen any game, but with the length of the game. I know they are two technical players and we should expect technical draws but...this is the world championship! Someone please take a risk!

Black showed a creative solution how to get the tiny rest of white advantage out of the position quickly. The rest was dull.

Candidates matches were crap, Wold tiltle match is crap too. It seems that match format is outdated and due to long cycles I doubt these two are the best players. Anand might have been the best in past but at the moment he cannot beat No.17 in the world. And No.17 cannot be credible champion.
What about 4 player round robin once in two years between the World Champion, World No.1, World Cup Winner and proposed Grand Prix Winner? With such kind of format we would have two games a day and players would need to score insted of trying to avoid lossess. Even if one game would be boring draw, the second one might be a fight.

Mr. or Ms. Guncha, If you had $1.5 M at stake, you would have played the same or even in a more conservative way. Don't blame these players.
" It was once again a technical and positional battle which beginners and amateurs may find difficult to follow, but neither player conceded an inch."
This quote came from chessbase. It explains why all the complaints...too many people watching who don't know sheet about chess but, they have an ipad and some chess programs which like watching CNN, puts them in the know.

Agreed. This kind of play deserves no rest day. They seem like playing chess in the beach of Hawaii
Pattern emerging in match: unexpected opening, opt for safe line to return to opening when better prepared, quick draw. Question is how many openings the guys have prepared. If the Sveshnikov appears again we may get more fight. Then again, if Gelfand surprises again with another opening we will probably see safe main line, good Black prep, and draw. The Wch is about money and career, not entertainment. Understood. Pity computers and prep have brought it to this though : ( . How about a new rule forcing both players to drink 12 espressos before every game?

"The Wch is about money and career, not entertainment. Understood. Pity computers and prep have brought it to this though"
It was never about entertainment, but has always been entertaining anyway when the participants have been two of the strongest player in the world in good shape. Nothing boring whatsoever in any of the latest title matches, and most of the games were very exciting, but this one is just a dull effort by two tired old players that don't look as if they can beat a top opponent anymore.
Excellent suggestion chesshire cat! A bottle of wine each (or vodka given the venue) might be even better. That way, we may witness some trash talk or even a fist fight during the game, pieces flying in the air, Anand's wig coming off...
Replace "expressos" with "martinis" and we'll get somewhere
If the prize fund was "winner takes it all" (or at least 75% of the prize ) , and using the Bilbao system (3 points for a win , 1 for a draw like in football ) coupled with a longer match (so more opportunities to make up for a loss or increase the lead ) , there would be far more incentives to play risky for both players
But in this match , losing narrowly having played with 0 risks earns you 1 million dollars at least , and there is no point taking too many risks in such a short match
Plus both players are extremely well prepared with black for equalizing and both very cautious with White .... generally speaking not a good omen for spectacle
So only thing left is the pressure that will build up in the last games on the mind of the players , i think this match will be decided by just one win or in the rapid session (which would be a shame ) .
I think the FIDE and Chess community should think about the future of chess if it wants to have more audience and sponsors in the years to come , somehow they have to find a way to encourage creativity and risk taking which are the only " human" thing left in chess IMO ...
the question is how : well for a start , make a victory far more precious , and a loss not that dramatic in the scoring system . Don't count draws in matches only victories , and enforce Sofia rules at all level ( If people are too lazy or don't like playing a drawn position , why do they play chess anyway , stating position is equal ) , so that everyone always presses until the position is mechanically exhausted
In 2 player match the Bilbao system is completely irrelevant. The player who has won more games is ahead. Regardless of whether a draw is worth 0.99 and a win 1, or a draw 0 and a win 100000 points.
Right Remco !!! :)))) 3-1-0 scoring system is irrelevant here !!
No it is not , look : Say Anand win 2 games more before game 10 , he will be 2 points ahead , if he wins 2 games with Bilbao system , he will be 6 points ahead
What's the difference ? More incentives to play for a win . Why ? because a draw is a bad result in Bilbao system , you HAVE to win at all costs , thus players HAVE to take more RISKS
Of course in both systems , the player who wins the most is World champion . In any system ...
The point is to chose the one that encourages the most : risk taking , creativity and thinking over the board out of the opening (outside computer )
Actually I think raising the stakes means the players will take _fewer_ risks. That's precisely it, it's the World Championship at stake (and some money), which is why they can't risk losing at all. Compare it to the friendly Kramnik-Aronian match recently, hardly anything at stake and fun games.
Giving the winner all the money as well (grossly unfair considering the huge cost of preparing for a match like this) would just make them even more risk averse.
Perhaps it wouldn't change much to the current situation , but at least , the "fighting spirit" would be encouraged by the rules and the general audience would probably like it better
if +2 is 2 wins or + 6 is two wins the defecit is the match is the same. The player down must win the same two games to even the score. Write it out.
Calling one dollar 100 cents doesn't make buying a coffee more exciting.

very dull games so far..I wanna see chessboxing
US-Chess Championship is also nice! Fighting chess and every player wants to mate the other guy.
Not just play 20 moves of computer prep and then agree a draw because Anand has a 32 core cluster at home and gelfand a 30 core cluster which level up against each other as every player has houdini installed with 3400 elo strength

I can't wait to see who will be the next world champion of preparation.
Format match with today reality look like F1. This is not always the better driver that win but the one that have the best car.
This is why I praise more a event like raceofchampion where drivers compete with same car
The equivalent for chess is round robin...
Hi dear, I found out a Serbian_Zeblack for our revo.....
Right idea about cars !!
Short, boring draws. No excitement at all. The official site coverage is a joke. Press conference is between uninteresting and shameful. Sitting there and answering with one words? C'mon guys, that's not fun.
Worst Wch match ever!!!
...and by the way Korchnoi was right: if you don't hate your opponent you don't want to destroy him at the board, and if you don't want to destroy him you'll play like this. Need more fighting spirit.
Actually I wonder whether the relatively cautious and risk-averse play has to do with the fact that the match is (relatively) long? Maybe both players are patiently waiting for one opportunity, one += position that can be converted ... . In shorter matches they (or at least the one who is more afraid of tiebreaks) have to take more risks earlier on. This doesn't mean that I would want a shorter match.
BTW the official site coverage may still be the best ever for a WCh match. It's rather natural that players don't want to answer questions such as [to Gelfand] "Why did you choose the Sveshnikov? Who was helping you with it?"
What's Next?
1 year 11 months ago
A good and interesting match. The players are doing their best to win a game, but that's not easy these days with all help from strong chess computers. Maybe we have to wait for the rapid games to see the first win.
If carlsen was there , I bet Anand will be motivated ! But playing against a lesser famous player .....?!
People who are CAREFULLY following the WCC games DO NOT UNDERSTAND CHESS.
@Aidin. I mean that those players are extremely well prepared and both of them always look for the safest lines. Besides, they give of the impression of thinking OTB, however everything was cooked at home. Who will give me back my 4 hours if I carefully follow the games? WHere is the imagination? taking risks? new chess dimensions ?

Control Arms - Rear
What is a Rear Control Arm and where is it Located?
Your vehicle's front and rear control arms play a major role in your car or truck's suspension system. Generally speaking, a vehicle's control arms act as the pivot point between the wheels to the road and springs, or struts to the frame or unibody of the vehicle. They keep the up and down motion of the vehicle's wheels in relation to its body synchronized while holding the knuckles, spindles, and axles firmly onto the vehicle. Rear control arms, like those located in the front, work in tandem with bushings which are used to reduce friction and prevent any contact between the components which could prove to be damaging. In a nutshell, front and rear control arms hold everything together and help you maintain control of your car or truck so that it isn't wandering all over the place. As a result, you are able to drive your vehicle smoothly without feeling like you are about to be sick from the dizzying movement.
The number, type and location of control arms on a vehicle vary greatly and are dependent on the type of suspension system the car is equipped with. A vehicle with independent rear suspension may have upper and lower control arms tucked behind each wheel, which are commonly referred to as "A-Arms". A vehicle with a MacPherson strut style suspension system in the rear would only use lower control arms because the strut essentially takes the place of the upper control arms. In terms of construction, a rear control arm can be made out of stamped steel, cast iron or aluminum and each material brings with it its own set of pros and cons. For an in-depth explanation of the various control arm setups that are possible on a vehicle and the different materials that they are made of, check out our control arms guide.
When is a Rear Control Arm Replacement Needed?
The rear control arms, like all control arms in general, are always being subjected to significant day to day abuse whether in an off-road terrain environment, or just bad road conditions on your daily commute. The bushings that are attached to ends of the rear control arms can wear out or become loose. This is the most common reason for rear control arm replacement because this can cause excessive tire wear, popping or creaking in the suspension system, extra play in the steering system, and can pose a serious safety concern for you as well for others around you. In addition, rear control arms can also get bent over time, either from an accident or possibly from a tow job gone bad. All of these are great reasons to replace a rear control arm.
Need a Rear Control Arm Replacement?
Is your vehicle wandering all over the road uncontrollably even though you are driving on a flat, smooth surface? If so, your suspension systems' rear control arm(s) may need replacing immediately. Otherwise, you'll be suffering from the dizzying effects that this motion is sure to cause. If you are in need of a replacement rear control arm, then you have come to the right place. At 1A Auto, we carry a massive and ever-expanding selection of rear control arms for many makes and models, including rear lower control arms and rear upper control arms.

Comments about GNC Preventive Nutrition® Complete Body Cleansing Program:
I have a history of being healthy and in good shape, but since I've been busy getting my master's degree I've been slacking. I decided to do a cleanse to get a jump start to getting back in shape. I'm not overweight, just looking to lose 10-12 lbs. The program comes with a meal plan. I did not follow this plan, but I followed the "what to eat/what not to eat suggestions." I made a shake in the morning with the fiber packet: with 4 pieces of ice, 1 banana, water and a splash of oj. Try to take the morning pills at the beginning of the shake because they do taste gross. They leave a bad after taste in your mouth, and it felt like I ate a piece of onion and garlic (gross, but worth it in the end). I ate a few almonds and popped a piece of gum to get rid of the taste. During the day and for dinner I ate fruit, grilled chicken, fish, salad, and/or veggies. Then I took the night pills, which did not taste quite as bad. I did not eat after 9:30 pm, only drank water, and stayed away from carbs. I did get some stomach cramps, but it was bearable. Yes you have to use the bathroom (#2) more then normally, but you know when it's coming. I'm not sure how much weight I lost from the cleanse because I did not weigh myself before, but I'm thinking around 10 lbs (from 163 in the beginning of september - 145 after the cleanse). My sister saw me for the first time in 3 weeks and the first thing she said was that I look so skinny. I am going to continue eating good and following the program suggestions of how to eat. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to "clean out" their system.

I found this product to be very effective. I've never had "regular" bowel movements and needed something to help cleanse my system. It wasn't harsh and I didn't have the urgency to go. I didn't follow the diet they prescribed but was more conscious of what I was eating.
I would recommend and use again.

I just got done with the GNC Complete Body Cleansing Program. Well, almost. I was doing fine. No pain, no having to rush to the bathroom. Just a nice gentle cleanse. Till day 6. I wound up in the hospital with excrutiating stomach pains. Now I have to eat toast, crackers, broth, water and tea for a few days. It was explained to me that our bodies are programmed to cleanse themselves and all these cleansers are gimmicks. After spending the day in the emergency room and two doses of morphine for the pain, I think I'll just let my body do it. I had used the program to jump start my new better eating rigimine.

This product is such a waste of money. I can take a corectal and get the same results, and with this I had to take 5 pills am, drink a liquid that tasted like paste and take 5 pills pm.Then nothing. I did not feel any cleansing or even a good go. It is so far over priced it should not be on the market. I used a colon cleanser last year for about $15 and took 1 pill am and 1 pill pm and went about 3 times every day for seven days. I would not recommend this to anyone.

No. 113: Kent State
By Paul Myerberg // May 9, 2011
Shake it up, Kent State. Make something – anything – happen, please. Getting rid of Doug Martin was a start, and perhaps former Ohio State assistant Darrell Hazell can settle once and for all the issue of whether this program has the capability of winning more than five games with any regularity. After all, it's not like Kent State has simply gone out and made bad coaching decision after bad coaching decision since Glen Mason left for Kansas in 1988; it's the program itself, not the coaches it has chosen, and something needs to change if we're ever going to see Kent State reach bowl play after a generation-long absence – let alone compete for a conference championship.

Last year's prediction
So, to recap: if K.S.U. can score points, play similarly strong defense and stay healthy, it could — could — land its first trip to postseason play in nearly 40 years. So why don't I have the Golden Flashes improving upon last season's win total? For the reason most likely to infuriate the Kent State fan base… the program's history. As noted, Kent State has not made a habit of putting together successive strong seasons; will this year be any different? My largest specific issue with this year's team is the offense, paltry a year ago. I'm higher on this squad than any Kent State team in the three years of the Countdown, but not high enough to predict a bowl trip for the Golden Flashes.
2010 recap
In a nutshell What made 2010 a disappointment? The fact that the defense might have been even better than it was in 2009, when it stood as one of the MAC's best. The defense was the MAC's best last fall: 10th nationally in total defense and fourth against the run, the Golden Flashes faltered a bit down the stretch but remained from top to bottom the best the conference had to offer. See above, where I said that only with an improved offense could Kent State hope to reach bowl play? Well, guess what: the offense, once gain, was painful to watch. The passing game lacked any explosiveness. The running game was extremely pedestrian. Kent State couldn't convert on third down and lacked the ability for a big play, which doomed a top-notch defense to another losing season.
High point Three wins in a four-week span in MAC play boosted Kent State's record to 4-4 on Oct. 30. Ignore the fact that the threesome came against Akron, Bowling Green and Ball State. As has been the case in the past, the Golden Flashes saved their best for last, shocking Ohio in the season finale by a 28-6 margin.
Low point The defense slipped up during Kent State's 1-3 finish. Losses to Boston College and Penn State in September were relatively competitive; the Eagles scored 26 points, the Nittany Lions 24. In three straight losses from Nov. 6 through Nov. 20, the Golden Flashes allowed 28, 45 and 38 points, sending the program to another 5-7 finish.
Tidbit Kent State's most wins in consecutive seasons since 1978? Try 12: seven wins in 1987, five in 1988. In fact, the Golden Flashes have not had back-to-back winning campaigns since 1976-77, when the Dennis Fitzgerald-led teams went 8-4 and 6-5. Since then, Kent State has followed a six-win season in 2001 with a three-win 2002 and a six-win 2006 with a three-win 2007.
Tidbit (bowl edition) Kent State's bowl-less streak now enters its 40th year. The last time the Golden Flashes reached bowl play was in 1972, when it lost a Tangerine Bowl decision to mighty University of Tampa, 21-18. The next-longest streak of bowl-less play belongs to Eastern Michigan, which hasn't done so since the 1987 California Bowl. In fact, each of the MAC's remaining 11 programs has been to bowl play at least once since 2005; take out Akron and the above duo, and each MAC program has been to bowl play at least once since 2008.

3. General Zod.
4. Bizarro.
5. Brainiac.
Darrell Hazell (Muskingum '86), entering his debut season. Hazell is Ohio through and through, from his college days to his first job at Oberlin College to his recent stay with the Buckeyes, where he spent the last seven seasons. His time under Jim Tressel began in 2004, when he was hired away from Rutgers, and extended through last season, with Hazell starting as wide receivers coach before eventually adding assistant head coach duties. It was in the latter capacity that Hazell began to draw attention, even if he was largely a behind-the-scenes figure for those only familiar with the big names associated with one of the nation's power programs. As one of Tressel's lead assistants, however, Hazell was involved both in game-planning and in Ohio State's recruiting machine, which will undoubtedly help Hazell into Buckeye State living rooms long closed to Kent State's advances. His B.C.S. experience doesn't stop there: there's three years at Rutgers and another two at West Virginia, as well as two seasons both with Army and Western Michigan. The latter was 15 years ago, but it does give Hazell at least a taste of what MAC football is all about. On paper, this is a great hire. But does Hazell have what it takes to turn around one of the nation's worst football programs?
Tidbit (coaching edition) Two names stand out from Hazell's new staff. The first is defensive coordinator Jon Heacock, the former head coach at Youngstown State – he replaced Jim Tressel in 2001 and coached through 2009 – and brother of the current Ohio State defensive coordinator. If you want to set up ties in Ohio, it's good to start with a Heacock. The second name that stands out is that of linebackers coach Marcus Freeman, who was a standout at Ohio State from 2005-7. He's another coach who can help open up doors in the state. Hazell's offensive coordinator will be Brian Rock, a former Purdue assistant who spent 15 years in the MAC with Western Michigan.
Players to watch
Maybe this is the year for the offense. Kent State brings back nine starters, which might lend credence to the thought that after years and years of doing nothing on that side of the ball, Hazell's debut campaign will find the Golden Flashes moving the ball and scoring with regularity. Maybe that happens; history says it won't, but it can't hurt to be positive. That's especially true when four starters return on the offensive line.
Actually, five of the six linemen to make at least one start in 2010 are back in action — this is good. It's an experienced group as well — it gets better. The lone loss is left guard Michael Fay, but the Golden Flashes could move either Josh Kline or Tyler Arend over from the right side and potentially not miss a beat. The leaders of the group are multiple-year starters Chris Anzevino and Brian Winters, who earned all-MAC accolades a year ago at center and tackle, respectively. The year ended with Winters on the right side and Kent Cleveland on the left — they swapped roles over the last four games — though each could play at either spot. The bad news is depth, as in a lack of any. More news of note: experience or no, it's not as if this line was driving opponents off the ball in 2010. Perhaps a change in mentality is all that's needed.
The line opened up just enough holes for Jacquise Terry to rush for 542 yards and a career-best 7 scores, but little more. The Golden Flashes need more from the running game, pure and simple. It's clearly one of Hazell's prime goals; still, as noted a moment ago, it's more about a mentality than pure fundamentals, one would think, and as such it might take time for Kent State to begin running the ball like it's 2008, when it led the MAC in rushing. Terry will carry the load, with Dri Archer spelling him on occasion, but Hazell will go with the hot hand. He should, as whomever can put this running game on his back should be the star of the offense.
Here's a nice number for Kent State: two receivers made at least 40 receptions in 2010, a program first. Both return in 2011, led by junior Tyshon Goode, the team leader in receptions (59), receiving yards (743) and scores (5). If Goode provided a bigger potential for the big play, senior Sam Kirkland (56 catches for 599 yards) was a nice compliment as a possession guy. That's a nice MAC tandem, even if as individuals neither strikes too much fear in the opposition. Terry also figures into the passing game; he finished third on the team with 23 grabs for 285 yards. Leneric Muldrow must be replaced as the third option, but Kent State is excited about the potential of former Kentucky transfer Eric Adeyemi, a junior who made three starts for the Wildcats as a freshman. Justin Thompson (14 for 101) is back at tight end.
If the running game is the first priority, getting junior quarterback Spencer Keith on track runs a close second. The Golden Flashes need to get more at the position, simply put, and Keith didn't do enough last fall to warrant automatically returning to the top of the depth chart with a new staff in place. Hence the competition under center, which includes Keith, Gio Morgan, Sal Battles and redshirt freshman Cedric McCloud. Keith has the experience, but Morgan has been called on several times over the last few seasons; he played well as a true freshman in 2007, redshirted in 2009 and, thanks to an injury suffered early in 2009, has not regained his spot at the forefront of the offense. He's a very realistic option under center this fall, especially if Hazell wants increased athleticism at the position. Look for a decision come the fall.
How awesome was Roosevelt Nix as a true freshman? Let's count the ways. Actually, there are only two ways to really sum up his incredible debut season, but each looms large: Nix became the only true freshman in MAC history to be named the conference's defensive player of the year, and became only the second Kent State defender to ever win the award. The other? Just some guy named Jack Lambert, that's all. And that's some seriously good company — and that gives you some idea just how terrific he was in 2010. What can he do for an encore? Even if Nix doesn't duplicate his numbers (a MAC-best 20 tackles for loss, 10 sacks), he'll demand so much attention that the defense will be noteworthy merely for his presence.
Did I mention Nix did this despite making only one start? There are two linemen who must be replaced, however, in nose tackle Quinton Rainey and end Monte' Simmons (38 tackles, 10 for loss, 5.5 sacks). Perhaps Dana Brown can move over to the nose, which would not only allow Kent State to replace Rainey but would clear the way for Nix to be a full-time starter. That's a marriage of convenience, and might be too simple a solution. A better answer might be Ishmaa'ily Kitchen, the biggest interior lineman on the team. That would create a logjam at tackle, but also provide depth.
The secondary is set at cornerback. Norman Wolfe (six interceptions) and Josh Pleasant were one of the MAC's best duos a year ago, which bodes well for the pass defense, but both starting safeties — Brian Lainhart, most notably — must be replaced. So there's good news tempered by bad news, though the cornerback pairing is a very good one. What about safety? It would be shocking not to see sophomore Luke Wollet not step into the role at strong safety, where he started one game a year ago. He made a very good impression: 10 tackles and an interception in a win over Bowling Green. Wollet also returned an interception for a touchdown against Akron, factoring heavily into the 24-point win over Akron. So he has some nice potential.
There are two other safeties with some experience. The first is sophomore Zack Gonosz, who lettered as a true freshman before taking a redshirt in 2010. The second, junior Leon Green, has played a secondary role in each of the last two seasons.
Position battle(s) to watch
Linebacker As you'd expect with a new coach, nearly every position – most, at least – are open to competition. Some are more open than others, of course: it's not as much about numbers at linebacker — Freeman has options to work with — as it is about finding players among an inexperienced group who can step into the multiple spots left open by graduation. It's still a work in progress here, as elsewhere, as the new staff really has no preconceptions about what an individual player brings to the table; it's a feeling-out period during the spring, and anticipating who will start come September might be an exercise in futility. Well, we know of one definite starter, if he's healthy: Luke Batton made 68 tackles (3.5 for loss) last fall, but sat out the spring due to shoulder surgery. There are question marks from there, unfortunately. Freeman could turn to three seniors, but even with their age it's not an experienced group: Mark Lechlitner has two career tackles; Kyle Reese has only contributed on special teams, by and large, as has been Byron Tyson. Perhaps the most intriguing option is C.J. Steward, a sophomore. It's pretty much Batton and a bunch of unknowns, which is worrisome.
Game(s) to watch
It's rare that Kent State play on national television, but that's an option when the Golden Flashes head to Tuscaloosa for the season opener. Not only will that game pit the Golden Flashes against the nation's best and against a famous alumni in Nick Saban, but all eyes will be on Bryant-Denny Stadium for Alabama's first game after the recent tornado destruction. Of note in MAC play: home games against Bowling Green, Central Michigan and Eastern Michigan.
Season breakdown & prediction
In a nutshell So the year can go one of two ways. The first is in the right direction: Hazell's plans take shape immediately, and Kent State finally breaks through to reach bowl play. The second is in the opposite direction: Hazell might be the coach to take Kent State to the next level, but his debut season finds the Golden Flashes moving backwards, not forwards. I'm of the mind that the latter scenario, one that finds Hazell struggling to find his balance as a rookie coach, is far more likely than the first. The logic is simple: a rookie coach, a program accustomed to losing, a difficult schedule by MAC standards, big questions on offense despite the nine returning starters and, most troubling of all, the thought that the defense won't be able to carry the load with several new faces in the starting lineup. So call it a hunch, above all else. Hazell doesn't strike me as a one-year turnaround guy as it is; he strikes me more as a coach with a blueprint, a strategy, one that likely involves replenishing a roster largely devoid of major talent while installing his philosophies on either side of the ball. So if it takes him a year to get things in order, I'm sure Kent State is willing to take a slight step back in order to reach six wins. What's another losing season at this point?
Dream season The offense finally does its part, helping Kent State snap that long streak of bowl-free existence.
Nightmare season It takes Hazell time: 1-11, 0-8 in the MAC.
In case you were wondering
Where do Kent State fans congregate? Plenty of Kent State fans meet up at this MAC message board, though Kent State Insider is also an option. The best place for chatter? Check out Kent State Sports blog from local reporter David Carducci of the Record-Courier. It's been pointed out that Carducci now does all his online work via his Twitter feed, which is amazing.

What is that? A golden USB flash drive? Awesome! I have always hated our nickname. I still think we should go back to being nicknamed the Silver Foxes.
Anyway, nice assessment. It is sort of difficult for me to decide; does the team welcome the fresh breath of air and somewhat prosper or do they understandably struggle to adapt? After rooting for this team for twelve years, I have trained my brain to see the bright side of things. Still, I see a
bit more struggling than adapting, unfortunately.
The biggest loss was DC Rekstis. Rekstis' defenses were solid to awesome even when we sucked. I am not sure if Heacock can continue that. Miami is getting a great DC who knows the MAC well.
I see Kieth winning the QB battle, I can see the offense making some big plays occasionally because Goode, Archer, Terry, and Kirkland are talented, but I see a lack of 3rd down conversions being the offense's weak point. I know nothing about OC Rock. I wonder if Hazell will give Rock full control, or have veto/suggestion power like Tressel does with Bollman. Either way, It is hard to imagine an offense regressing with nine returning starters, new scheme or not.
Special teams were actually good last year and that has to continue to have a chance to win games.
They'll hopefully not be historically embarrassed by Alabama (would Saban do that?), play tough for a half but easily lose to Kansas State, and beat South Alabama. The UL-Lafayette game will be very interesting; it is Hazell's first home game, they'll have already played Alabama, and they'll be playing a team who has a new HC as well. This is a winnable game. The outcome of this game could be a good indication of MAC success.
Here comes my bright side. The sole reason I believe this team can possibly end up with a decent MAC record and maybe even 2nd place in the MAC-East is because the MAC-East is so weak and inexperienced. Frank Solich has been HC at Ohio for 6 years; the combined experience of all other MAC-East HCs is 4 years (BG-2, Akron-1, Buffalo-1). We will discover two answers; Did Doug Martin have the team heading in the right direction and did Hazell learn anything from Tressel?
By the way, Carducci has abandoned his blog and jumped to Twitter:
golden flash drive. love it.
