Rug Grippers that REALLY work!

I have tried sticky strips, mats and painted-on strips to help keep my throw-rugs in place, but nothing has actually kept them down. This is one product that actually works as promised! 
Anti-Slip Rug Grips https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CSSHPWN keep rugs anchored, but are moveable, washable, reusable...and they are so easy to put on! 

I only needed half as many as recommended to hold these rugs in place, even with an over- active puppy. We have a throw-rug inside the door to help with wet paws, and she scooted the rug across the floor every time she came and went! I attached two Anti-Slip Grips to two corners (total of four grips) and that rug has not moved since!  







We have throw rugs in one of the bedrooms, and have tried everything to get them to stay in place. With just one strip on each end (total of two strips), these rugs are staying put! I picked them up to vacuum, and was able to put them back down, and they still stay in place.  I understand that I can wash them off when they get dirty and less sticky - kind of like the GPS holder that I have on my dashboard - and reuse the strips over and over!

These strips are so easy to use, and one package goes a long way to keep rugs (and other things) in place. I am ready to try them on mattresses, to keep them from shifting....and on the couch cover, which the pup keeps moving to the floor!! 

Thanks, Tomoson for helping me try these!

Thing 6 - Curation!

Curation! was the title of Joyce Valenza's keynote address and workshop at the 2012 NYLA/SSL Conference, and she introduced the word to hundreds of librarians in one swoop! I have to admit, I was feeling pretty self-satisfied at the time; after all, I had a fat and happy Delicious file, full of handy sites for all occasions. Why, I even searched for useful links through Delicious, adding and sharing with colleagues. Now I see that I am like the old librarian who collects hundreds of back issues of magazines, certain that they will "come in handy some day!". Curation is so much more of a Web3.0 tool: creating web content more than gathering it. So I gave Scoop.It another try. Diigo had scared me away with its daily updates in my email, and Pinterest is my guilty pleasure/personal-rather-than-educational site. I began following other Scoop-ers, three topics, and added a button to my toolbar. I even connected it to my Twitter feed, so that I can post Scoops there...

Thing 7: Podcasting and Screencasting

I am afraid that I approached this Thing with a little less enthusiasm than I should. You see, I am familiar with, and love ScreenR, ever since it helped me publish ALL of the 3rd graders' Blabberize Biography projects on one, easy to view page . I tried AudioBoo this week, as a test for an upcoming project: listen to ‘Test’ on Audioboo I am excited about the project, but not about AudioBoo. The students will be recording Book Reviews, and we will try to link them to the Online Library Catalog. With AudioBoo, they can only post one picture. Last year we used GarageBand to record reviews with 4th graders, and the result was less than satisfactory. The students spent more time struggling with the technology than they did learning about the book, or enjoying the project. The process strangled the project. We have decided this year to go low-tech, and use PhotoStory for this project. The students can post a few pictures about the book (the teacher wants 5 or mo...

Zesty Paws Oatmeal Anti-itch Dog Shampoo

This winter has been tough on our little pups; the bitter cold outside and dry heating inside have dried out their coats and fur. Most shampoos clean, but we found one with Vitamin E and Aloe Vera that also softens and soothes.      I love the description on the back of the bottle - it sounded like just the shampoo we needed. But then, they all claimed to work, and all they did was clean surface dirt.  But I have to say that I am impressed; the shampoo smells great (one pup even tried to taste it!) and it lathers well. We haven’t had a chance to try more than once in the test period, but so far it seems to deep-clean better, and to soothe the flakey skin. Pups are not only clean, but softer! She may not look like it here, but Kenzie feels so much better, now that her skin isn't dry and itchy, and her coat is soft and clean. It washed away the dandruff on  other doggies, and worked well on all types of coats. ZestyPaws makes a conditioner, too,...
