Jan. 18: Lectures, Ads, Exams and Tea

Five things you need to know today.

It's Tuesday, and I've got trouble on my mind.

1. Remember that story I mentioned in yesterday's Five Things column? The one about the guy who made a Superbowl ad? Sorry for not running it last night. It can be seen at 10 a.m.

2. If you're into memoirs, author will be reading from hers, "Cold Pizza for Breakfast: A Mem-wha?," at the Hewlett-Woodmere Public Library.

3. As you may know, New York state has in schools. Read Patch's story about the future of language education at 2 p.m.

4. The Five Towns Democratic Club is holding a tonight on gun violence in the aftermath of the horrifying and tragic shooting in Arizona.

5. I'd like to share something I picked up from an Israeli cafe. Take a slice of lemon, another slice of fruit like an apple, a cinammon stick and mint leaves and brew it along with your hot tea for a nice cup of "complete tea," as the cafe called it. Quite delicious.

Be sure to send me your tips or whatever is on your mind. I'd love to include them in a future Five Things column.
