Caffeinated Sunflower Seeds

by Steve
Monday, March 05, 2007

Now they’re selling sunflower seeds laced with energy boosters like caffeine, taurine, lysine, and ginseng.The product named, “SumSeeds”, are described as premium roasted sunflower seeds supercharged with the same stuff found in “energy” sodas. The manufacturer then goes on to boast the natural goodness of sunflower seeds, such as Vitamin E, Zinc and Iron, to make its product doubly good.

I imagine something like this will be popular with baseball players.

Computerized Pillow Stops Snoring

by Steve
Wednesday, October 03, 2007

Reuters reports that a German scientist named Daryoush Bazargani has invented a computerized pillow that automatically adjusts the position of your head to minimize snoring.”The pillow is attached to a computer, which is the size of a book, rests on a bedside table, and analyses snoring noises”, says Bazargani. “The computer then reduces or enlarges air compartments within the pillow to facilitate nasal airflow to minimize snoring as the user shifts during sleep.”

He has apparently talked several U.S. firms about manufacturing the pillow.

The Fizz – Screw-on Ice Cream Float Cup

by Steve
Friday, January 04, 2008

 

The Fizz is a plastic cup that screws on to a plastic PET bottle allowing you to create a mobile ice cream float.

Once you screw the cup to a bottle, fill it up with ice cream, then insert a straw, and finally, squeeze the bottle. This fills the cup with soda, allowing you to sip out a mixture of ice cream and soda.

The cup is reusable, but not dishwasher safe.

Pancakes from an Aerosol Can

by Steve
Thursday, October 25, 2007

 

Batter Blaster is probably going to change the way pancake batter is sold.

This probably needs little explanation: just shake the can, point it to a hot griddle, and push on the nozzle.

Not sure why this hasn’t been thought of earlier.

The nutrition label says each can contains 8 servings, and it’s carries the USDA “Organic” stamp.

The Batter Blaster website comes with a video showing you how to use this. It also has instructions on how to cook pancakes.

There’s also a store locator, but I couldn’t find any stores sellings this in the Southern California area where I live. So I typed in a San Francisco zip code (94102), where the company is located, and a bunch of stores came up.

Breakfast Cereal for Dogs

by Steve
Friday, December 30, 2005

 

Bow Wow Breakfast Cereal for Dogs is a new line of dog food intended for morning consumption. The company that makes it claims it’s specifically formulated to meet a dog’s needs in the morning.

I’m not sure specifically what a dog’s needs are in the morning. I find my dogs often need to poop in the morning, maybe that’s what it means.

They have six varieties in all, including:

• Barkfast Squares
• Chompions
• Chewa-Bunga
• Fido Flakes
• Grrr-nola
• Pooch-Cheez

ZAP Smart Car

by Steve
Tuesday, July 26, 2005

 

A company called ZAP (Zero Air Pollution), has produced a version of its ZAP Car for the United States, called the “Smart Car“.

The ZAP Cars have been selling well in Europe for some time, which caused the company to develop a version that meets American standards. Just last week the European-made cars entered the United States on their way to dealers throughout the nation.

The Smart Car is still a gas-powered vehicle, however. It has a rear-mounted 3-cylinder turbo engine producing 60 horse power. It has a six-speed automatic transmission, and an 8.7 gallon fuel capacity.

I couldn’t find any specifics on the company website as to specifically what kind of gas-mileage one would expect from a Smart Car. But I’m sure it’s probably pretty good.

SCOTLAND AND OUR CULTURAL PARTY AT CILC – 2008

HI MY DEAR STUDENTS

JUNE 21st was an exciting night for all of us.

We decorated our classroom so beautifully. Scotland was our country that night.

I had much fun. I have thank all my students who had struggled for the decoration and helping before the party day, specially my B1, B3 and Advanced  pupils.

IT WAS GREAT

OUR PARTY WAS AMAZING!!!

MAKING OFF:

Mixed Conditional

Conditionals

The Mixed Conditional

There are two types of mixed conditional sentences. One of them states the present result of a past condition and the other state the past result of a present or continuing condition.

Present result of a past condition

Here we use a past perfect in the if-clause and would + infinitive in the main clause.

• If I had accepted that job I would be a millionaire now.
• If I had married him I would live happy now.

In these sentences the time is past in the If-clause and present in the main clause. They refer to an unreal past condition and its probable result in the present.

Past result of a present or continuing condition

Here we use a simple past in the If clause and would have + past participle in the main clause.

• If I didn’t love him I wouldn’t have married him. (= I love him and that is why I married him.)
• If I were invited I would have come. (= I was not invited. Therefore I did not go)

They refer to an unreal present situation and its probable (but unreal) past result.

• If I were a good cook, I would have invited them to lunch. (= I am not a good cook so I can’t invite them to lunch.)
• If I knew English, I would have got a better job.

A2 – PET PEEVES

PET PEEVES = THINGS THAT ANNOY YOU,

YOU CAN’T STAND 

ADVANCED STUDENTS,

EVERYBODY HAS PET PEEVES TO TELL. I HAVE SO MANY PET PEEVES THAT I HAD TO SELECT SOME OF THEM TO POST HERE. I CAN SAY I DON’T GET IRRITATED ALL THE TIME, BUT A LOT OF THINGS GETS ON MY NERVES. UNLIKE MANY PEOPLE, SMALL THINGS PISSES ME OFF. CHECK IT OUT!

SOME OF KELLY’S PET PEEVES

It really annoys me when I go shopping and there is no parking space for me. I have to wait for a lot of time for one. I think parking space is getting a big problem in Brasília. Wherever I go, depending on the time of the day, it is almost impossible to park the car.

It gets on my nerves when I am in the middle of an important thing on the web and it goes dead. I have to restart all over again…. it is worst if it is a chat. I have to say that my net isn’t good and apology. However the conversation looses a little bit the focus I was having previously.

I don’t understand why Brazilian drivers use their hands to ask for passing. They avoid the TURN SIGNAL to use the OK SIGN. They stare at us and show the ok finger. Even if I don’t want to let them go I have to. Many drivers show the OK SIGN and don’t stop the car to SEE if they can really go. They just go… It can be dangerous! WAIT FOR YOUT TURN!

It bugs me when I don’t have money to buy a nice thing in the end of the month. How my salary is so small!

I am having a list of the most annoying things.

Top ? list of Pet Peeves

1. People who are always late.
2. Talking on cell phones and driving too slow in the fast lane.
3. People who chew with their mouth wide open.
4. People throwing cigarette butts on the beach or out of cars.
5. Waitors and waitresses with dirty fingernails.
6. People who don’t perform their duties at work.
7. Sneezing in your hand and shaking someone’s hand afterward.
8. Not washing hands after using the bathroom.
9. Children’s hand prints on the windows in car.
10. People who constantly stand in your personal space.

NOW MY DEAR STUDENTS, TELL ME YOUR PET PEEVES.

A2 – VALUES

HI MY LOVED STUDENTS FROM A2,

I REALLY LOVE GIVING CLASSES AT A2 THIS SEMESTER. MY STUDENTS ARE SO NICE!

WELL, WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT VALUES A LOT. WE SELECTED SOME ESSENTIAL VALUES TO OUR LIFE. FOR EXAMPLE: honesty, perseverance, sincerity, openness, tolerance, simplicity, solidarity, perseverance, kindness, sensitivity, patience, loyalty, compassion, courage, forginveness, assiduousness and much more. Family and friends values are vital as well.

I can say that I am glad my parents taught me how to be a nice person with anyone. I try to treat people kindly. Sometimes I have good receptiveness. However some people insist on being so rude. I wish I had given everybody the power of love, so we would have only receptive people around us.

I hope to see your composition here with a fantastic will to get to know you more.

Kisses 

I3 – BIOGRAPHY

HI MY DEAR STUDENTS,

Our semester has been great. We have talked a lot. This time you are going to talk about biography.

You are going to talk about an important person for you or for the world.

I hope to learn a lot with your presentations.

Be prepared and good luck!

A2 MY MOST EMBARRASSING SITUATION :)

Hello students from A2,

As I told you I am going to leave here some of my embarrassing stories. Here goes the first…

My first year as a teacher in Recanto das Emas was a challenging experience for me. I had to give classes for elementary students.

My classes were 5th grade and 8th grade. I had nice students. One of them was a little difficult to remorize the name.

I entered in one of the 8th grade classrooms. I started to call the roll in order to get familiar with the students’ face. I saw one of the students whose body and face was like a boy’s one. I thought it was a boy and called HER José…. my mistake! It was a girl . All the class started to laugh at me and at her. I felt really embarrassed! She corrected me and said her name was Josy. 

“Appearance can be deceiving”

Be careful with faces and names!

Now leave yours… I want to know your embarrassing story.

CLASSES 2008 AT CILC! WELCOME BACK!!

HI STUDENTS,

I am teacher Kelly and I will be with you during this semester.

We are going to share our ideas and experiences. We will study and learn English with all our classmates and teachers. I hope you dedicate to the classes and enjoy the semester.

What can you do to become a good student?

What are you going to do to study English this semester?

I wonder how many things my students have already meet as prime objective? The beginning of a new year, a new semester of English studying at CILC, giving all effort to be renewed for 2008.

What hope and dreams they have … goals, aspirations they may conjure up.

This year I’m gonna do my best. Allow for what will come and embrace it. Whether it requires my dedication. I want blissful moments in my classroom. I dare to dream, but for now not out loud. Being easily surprised is far better. My students’ dedication I want to see as well.

SUCCESS is a consequence.

Teacher Kelly

Let’s study!

B2 – MY ROUTINE

MY ROUTINE AND  ACTIVITIES

Hello students from B2. How is your week?

What do you do in the morning?

What do you do in the afternoon?

What are your activities? How often do you do them?

Here is my routine.

KELLY’S ROUTINE AND ACTIVITIES

• My routine is: I get up at 6:30 every day. I brush my teeth and take a shower. I eat my breakfast. I watch TV at 11:30. I eat lunch at 12:00 every day. I go to Cilc. I teach English at Cilc in the afternoon.
• My activities are:  I go to Cilc in the morning twice a week. I check my e-mails four times a week. I exercise twice a week. I watch a movie once a week. I always study English. I usually read a magazine. I usually wash the dishes and clean the house. I sometimes do the laundry.

Now it’s your turn! Tell me your routine and your activities.  

PET PEEVES!

Are you ever guilty of doing annoying things? I always feel guilty! A lot of things get on my nerves! Check it out…

It really hacks me off when I’m in a place and somebody plays loudly the kind of music I don’t like, for example, pagode or heavy metal.

It ticks me off when my cousins don’t help clean up after Christmas party.

Why is it that my sisters never return my phone calls? I always have to call again or leave a message. Guess who pays an expensive cell phone bill?

It bugs me when people act differently in front of people they want to impress. I don’t have patience with this kind of people.

It jars on me when I buy a CD and only one or two songs are really nice.

It annoys me when I watch TV programs in the morning or on a Sunday afternoon and I can get NOTHING.  I see celebrities saying meaningless phrases. Singers miming and trying to be nice.

I try not to get annoyed, but I can’t resist! I think everybody has pet peeves. Tell me yours…

What are your pet peeves???? What annoys you?  What bugs you?

Little Miss Sunshine

Hi people from A2.

The Hoovers go on a trip to California where Miss Sunshine competition takes place. The little Olive struggles to rehearse her presentation every day with her grandpa. The family relationship starts to show off to us who are watching this almost “reality show”.

Give your opinion about the questions below. Let’s share our thoughts about the movie.

 

What was the most important part in the movie for you? Why?

What made this movie so different from most of family comedy films?

Who was the most interesting character? Why?

What message can you share with us? What have you learnt from the movie?

Inventions! Advanced students from CILC

Hi guys, you are so enthusiastic in the photos! I couldn’t stop laughing that day. Do you remember? Everybody was so creative and funny. It was amazing! I was satisfied to see how your English practice has improved since the beginning of the semester.
