5 Cool Questions: Part two.

Teacher number 2: Ms. Woodbury.

1)What is your favorite kind of music?

I'm a 70's classic rock girl -- my teenage formative years include Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Rolling Stones, etc.

2)What's your favorite food?

My favorite food to eat out is Thai and my favorite food to cook in is pasta.

3) Pets?

I have 4 cats at my house and I love all animals. Cats are easy to take care of and they are easy to pick up for hugs and kisses! Their names are Gracie, Nellie, Buffy (a.k.a. BB) and Boy (the only boy kitty and he milks his cuteness for all its worth!)


4)Favorite movie or T.V. show at the moment?

Favorite TV show of the moment is Modern Family on regular T.V. and Men of a Certain Age on cable.

5) Favorite place?

My favorite place is at the beach or hiking.

5 Cool Questions!

Gunston T.V. decided to ask 7 of our favorite teachers the same 5 questions!

Here's what we found out!

Every Friday we will showcase a new teacher. Stay tuned.

Teacher #1: Mr. Stewart.

1) What is your favorite kind of music?

I appreciate talent; that is, I prefer to listen to anyone who is excellent at doing what they do. Check out Jerry Douglas on the dobro, Liz Phair or J. Mascis on the guitar, Stewart Copeland on the drums,Pharrel Williams on the mixer, the voices of Casey Dienel, Lykke Li, Leon Redbone, Natasha Khan, or Ghostface.

2) What's your favorite food?

I enjoy going to Afghani restaurants during Ramadan; I enjoy making gyoza during Chinese New Year (or latkes at Channukah); and I will forever eat Mike and Ikes.

3) Pets?

I think keeping animals as pets is an inhumane act; early domestication may have been a necessity for food and labor, yet centuries of breeding for hair color, size, and sound of bark has created entire species of ridiculous,neurotic,and uncomfortable animals. Say "No" to pets (unless, of course, you are rescuing one of these unfortunate life forms).

4) Favorite movie or T.V. show at the moment?

The Winter Olympics
Jersey Shore makes me weep for our world.

5) Favorite place?

Room G12
Long Branch Nature Center
Antalya, Turkey
Biloxi, MS

Remember to tune in next week for Teacher #2: Ms. Woodbury.

Apple Tablet Buzz! Written by Patrick M, Edited by Sarah W.

The Apple Tablet, a long rumored device from Apple, has been getting a lot of hype lately and the internet is on fire with rumors and buzz. Sites say everything from the tablet looking like a big iPhone to the "iSlate" causing a revolution communication. Quotes from Apple executives and former employees make the rumors all the more believable. The speculation of what this Tablet can do for the world is astounding. Some say it will revive print media, others say students of the future should all have one, and still others say that it will contribute to a decrease in television and radio ratings. Anything is possible for Apple and Steve Jobs, and his team always finds a way to outsmart everyone. The following sites have some juicy news and exciting previews of what should be an amazing step forward in technology. Apple wants to steal the thunder from the Consumer Electronics Show as other companies race to find a rival for the Tablet.
