Brief Synopsis
In 1946, General Walter Bedell Smith wrote a series of articles describing six great decisions made in World War II by General Dwight David Eisenhower Writing so soon after the war, General Smith could not hope to produce a definitive history, but felt that writing then would document an important viewpoint of one of the major participants in Eisenhower's many significant decisions. With this initial volume of their Operation IRAQI FREEDOM Key Decisions Monograph Series, the Strategic Studies Institute also attempts to write about key decisions while they are still fresh in the memories of the participants. This series will not produce a definitive history, however, it will make a major contribution to understanding decisions made by senior military and civilian leaders during the several years thus far of the war in Iraq. Looking more at the how and why of certain decisions than at the results of those same decisions, this series will be particularly useful to senior leaders--both uniformed and civilian--as they reflect on how decisions were made in Iraq and how better decisions might be made in future conflicts. As General James Mattis at Joint Forces Command recently said, the challenges of operating in a counterinsurgency can be greater than in large-scale conventional combat, "since the adversary has more flexibility to determine how, when, where, and whether to fight." This, plus the fact that irregular combat is the more likely challenge of the future operating environment, makes it even more important to examine the key decisions of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM as soon as possible. One of the greatest strengths of our Army over the centuries has been its ability to look critically at itself and to devise ways to improve its ability to prosecute the Nation's wars.

In your review of the fourth volume of the History of the Times in your issue of May 19, you refer to "Britain's ally, Czechoslovakia." The myth that Britain was the ally of Czechoslovakia at the time of Munich has long been fostered in the United States, and it is regrettable that it should gain new currency in your own authoritative columns. Though some of us thought at the time of Munich that it was in Britain's interest to fight in defence of Czechoslovakia's freedom, our country had no more moral or legal obligation to do so than had the United States. The "holier than thou" attitude adopted by some Americans towards the English in regard to Munich is wholly unwarranted, the more so since — a fact seldom adverted to in the United States — President Roosevelt was among those who sent a telegram to Signor Mussolini congratulating him on the calling of the Munich Conference.

2009 Ultimate Adventure 2002 Ford F250 Super Duty - The Ultimate Ranch Truck Part 5Posted in Project Vehicles on December 1, 2009
It seems like only yesterday we were getting the Stupid Duty ready for the journey to Colorado by sweeping the trash and leaves out of the bed (interior too), throwing the abandoned and rusty parts over the bedside, and then testing its roadworthiness by driving a few hundred miles. Afterward we made a call to James and Stephen Watson at Offroad Design and told them, "Hey, it's ready. Meet us in Vegas and pick the truck up." Crossing our fingers, we didn't look back as they drove away; we ran back into the hotel room and locked the door behind us, hoping the Stupid Duty would get them home.
James and Stephen drove all night. We received a call the next morning around 6 o'clock: "OK, we made it home. The truck runs great, the ride is horrible, there's lots of bumpsteer, and there's so much racket we could barely think." Initially we thought the chubby Super Duty was going on a diet and a thousand or so pounds would be shaved off its gross weight, but that didn't happen. Over three and half months the truck morphed into an incredibly agile trail machine, but never shed any weight. In fact, it gained 1,000-plus pounds, but that additional weight turned the Ford into a tougher trail truck that was quite highway-friendly.
During the Ultimate Adventure, our Ranch Truck performed exceptionally well on the trail. There were a few sections we didn't think the 10,000-pound ranch truck would squeeze through, yet she always proved us wrong. The 7.3L turbodiesel engine didn't know all the additional steel and weight was there! We had a few minor issues with some factory equipment, but the trick modifications such as the custom suspension, body armor, boatsiding, and work bed, did their job. We'll give you the final rundown of how the Ultimate Ranch Truck performed in Part 6 of the build, so stay tuned.

The Thunderbird is considered as one of the great muscle cars, and even luxury cars, produced in the United States. Introduced in 1955 as a sporty car, Ford's Jonah Lucas Bender marketed it as a "personal luxury car," taking away the sport vehicle nomenclature used for cars of similar ilk. The Thunderbird was sporty until it grew too large; each year saw a bit more added to the vehicle until it was downsized in 1977 and then again in 1980.
The car ran in production for over 11 generations between 1955 and 1997 when it was first discontinued, then between 2002 and 2005 when the car was refreshed for a new generation. The line was discontinued the second time in 2005.
The Ford Thunderbird is known as the first car to offer a sporty chassis with the personal comforts of a luxury vehicle in the U.S. The sleek body could even get muscle car enthusiasts drooling, but the car was not so sporty to turn off stuffier clientele.
The first models were known as tiny vehicles that didn't allow for many passengers. Over the years, a second row of seats were introduced, making the Thunderbird suitable for multiple passengers. This larger vehicle was known as the Square Bird due to its boxy size.
Four doors were eventually added to the vehicle, at which time it began to look a bit odd and grow too big. The vehicle line was scaled back to a personal car.
Many of the early Thunderbirds were known for their power. These vehicles not only looked good, but they could fly as well. Unfortunately, in the 1990s, the Thunderbird somewhat stagnated mechanically, leading to the first demise of the vehicle due to lack of interest and a drop-off in the personal luxury vehicle market. However, the super coupe from the 1990s is one of the finest movers in the line and should be looked for by the used Thunderbird enthusiast.
The Ford Thunderbird was dropped from the Ford fleet in 2005 due to lackluster sales. A successor is absent, probably due to lack of interest in the personal luxury vehicle market.
The first generation of the Thunderbird was released in 1953 as a direct competitor to the Chevy Corvette. The Thunderbird was first revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in February 1954. The first generation model was a two-seat coupe or convertible with a 4.8-liter V-8 from the Ford Mercury. The front bumper was redesigned as well as a larger grill design and bigger tail lamps were added in 1957.
The second generation of the Thunderbird was released between 1958 and 1960. Two more seats were added to this model on the suggestion of Ford executive Robert McNamara. It was still a two-door coupe or convertible, however, just bigger. A 5.8-liter 300 hp engine was added.
The third generation appeared in 1961. These vehicles were slightly more curved than their predecessors. A 6.4-liter FE V-8 was standard on the first line. This was a line that sold very well for the company until 1963.
The fourth generation appeared in 1964, this one squared off with the same engine as the previous generation. It lasted till 1966.
The fifth generation appeared between 1967 and 1971. The car was drastically redesigned to be more upmarket and luxurious like the Lincoln to move it away from the Mustang. Suicide doors were added to a body on frame construction.
The sixth generation was released in 1972 and was the largest of any Thunderbird so far released. A 7.0-liter V-8 was added to handle the weight. This generation ran till 1976.
The seventh generation moved the car more towards the Lincoln class of vehicles by shrinking the wheelbase chassis and lowering the engine size to a 4.9-liter. It lasted till 1979.
The eighth generation Thunderbird was modeled after the Ford Fox platform, making the vehicle more compact. It ran from 1980 to 1982.
The ninth generation was greatly redesigned due to the poor reception of the ugly and poor performing eighth generation. A V-6 engine now powered the vehicle leading to its ultimate demise in the 1990s. This generation ran from 1983 to 1988.
The tenth generation was completely redesigned with amazing handling and steering. The power on the super coupe blew all previous generations out of the water with a supercharged engine. All these design changes failed to elicit excitement. After investment in the vehicle was reduced the line ended in 1997.
An eleventh generation was introduced in 2002. This was a two-seat, two-door model with a retro-futuristic design. The AJ-30 V-8 was introduced at the start of the run, with the AJ-35 taking over in 2003. Even with these powerful engines, the car failed and was discontinued in 2005.

I started liking this girl for a while but it was only temporary, and it was almost not for real. So. Please pray for me intensely if you can because this is driving me away from faith and making me contemplate suicide, as if that matters, as it says in the bible, such people will not inherit the kingdom of God. So what's the point of living? And what's the mistake in suicide?

I relied on this mascara all last winter and now it's discontinued! I haven't bought any in a while because i've been using many other mascaras. I'm a huge mascara junkie! I really did want to buy this product again in the future but now I can't:(. This mascara was amazing because it gave wonderful volume and I LOVED the brush. The brush separated my lashes and really grabbed them one by one hence the name. Usually when I pull a mascara brush out of a tube, a gloopy chunk comes out but this brush did not clump at all. But even if the brush got clumpy, I wouldn't mind wiping it off because I loved this mascara so much. Maybelline why did get rid off this mascara? Please bring it back! So many people miss it!

I was recommended this mascara at my local chemist because I didn't really know what mascara to buy. Turns out to be quite a good mascara. It does grasp onto all your lashes and does what it's suppose to. However I don't like the brush, I find it quite hard to use but nonetheless, great mascara.

Yes. I like this one. It does what it says it does. I like the brush; I like how I can really target each lash individually and I like how it doesn't attract giants globs of mascara that end up manifesting on my lashes. I like how it doesn't clump, how it makes them look long and thick and full. And oh boy, is it waterproof. I CANNOT get this stuff off with my Garnier micellair water stuff. Nono, this requires proper eye-makeup remover!

This is my favorite mascara! My lashes are a little bit on the long side and average thickness so this stuff makes them look pretty darn flawless. I do have to be careful when putting it on that it doesn't poke my eyelids with the wand but that's not a problem. You'll also need a good makeup remover cuz this stuff isn't going anywhere. I love it.

This is my holy grail mascara! So much better than the regular version. Doesn't clump and holds a curl great. The only problem I have with it is that it is very hard to remove- even with my Neutrogena makeup wipes. Also the packages is iffy. On every bottle I have purchased, the part of the tube that removes the excess mascara pops off and it is a hassle to fix. Nonetheless still my favorite mascara by far!

My HG of mascaras! Perfectly and evenly coated lashes, no clumps and no spider leg lashes. Only downfall is the lack of seal between the wand and the tube. These mascaras dry out rather quickly!

I actually really really like this mascara. I find that it doesn't clump or smudge on me. Holds a curl, volumizes and separates my lashes really well. I also tried the L'oreal voluminous carbon black (waterproof) because of the hype and I wanted to compare it to this one but found that it's not as good in terms of those points that I mentioned. For now my feelings are that I will buy this mascara again. The only single issue that I have is that it's pretty hard to remove.

Andrew Swick needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 105 designs submitted by 28 freelance designers.
CheckedTwice.com is web service that helps families and other groups organize the celebration of gift-giving holidays like Christmas. At its heart, CheckedTwice is an online gift registry designed for groups. Unlike Amazon Wishlists or the many online wedding registries, CheckedTwice allows you to go to one place and see the wishlists of everyone involved in the holiday.
Christmas is a great example. At Christmas, everybody in the family gives a little gift to everyone else. CheckedTwice sets up an occasion portal where you see a list of names for everyone in your family. Click on a name, and you see his or her wish list. From there you can claim gifts, add surprise gifts, or add gift ideas.
We hope you'll check out our site. We've attached several screen shots that will give you an idea of how it works.
The site is great for geographically dispersed groups such as larger families (e.g. the addition of grandchildren, in-laws) that have settled in different areas and may not be heading to the mall all at once. Although the design must be acceptable to all ages, from grandchildren to grandparents, we initially will market to, and build our customer base on two specific groups:
1) students who have moved away from home, and
2) young parents who are geographically separated from grandparents.
We see our adopters as tech-savvy consumers with a specific need for our platform. We need a logo and design elements that speak to them.
Although our name makes reference to the Christmas song, we DO NOT want further references to Christmas on the site. No Santa Claus, no 'naughty or nice,' no winter theme. Again, we hope that the design is acceptable to all faiths and creeds.
Designs that reference other non-Christmas aspects of the name are acceptable, e.g. the accuracy implied by checking something twice, a list or wish list.
If you look at the screenshots, you'll see that the look of the site is currently quite plain. A successful design submission will also include recommendations for integrating your logo with the existing site using simple changes, e.g. fonts, text colors, backgrounds for title bar and different panes.
We're also interested in creating a new home/sign-in page for our site. We hope to work directly with the winning designer to quickly redesign those areas.
The winning design will be:
- Describable
- Memorable
- Effective without color (or including a separate version)
- Scalable, or including a scalable portion

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and line a 9-by-9-by-2-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing a 2-inch overhang. Butter the lining too.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan; add both sugars and whisk until combined and the sugar is melted, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl and let cool slightly. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract until combined. Add the flour mixture and whisk until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips, almonds and toffee chips and transfer the mixture to the prepared pan.
Bake until the top cracks slightly and is firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist pieces clinging to it, 24 to 27 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and let cool completely. Remove the bars from the pan using the parchment handles, transfer to a cutting board and cut into 2-inch squares.

Postgame quotes after the Revs fell to the Columbus Crew at Crew Stadium on May 8, 2010.
On the frantic pace of play at the end of the match:
"It was hard right there at the end, that's a rotten way to lose the game. In the space of two or three minutes we nearly won it and we ended up losing it. We couldn't ask for anything more from the players. They played some decent football at times, as well."
His overall thoughts on the match:
"We got punished for three mistakes. We end up coming away with nothing. I think from start to finish we played solid, we played organized - we tried to play where it was right. We made some decent decisions at times, but the bottom line is we end up with zero.
On what he can take from tonight's match:
"The main thing we came here to do tonight was to be solid. We feel as we go forward, we can make chances. It doesn't matter where we play to make chances and tonight we did that again. We really wanted to be solid and I think we were solid. The goals don't exactly reflect on that, but I think a large percentage of the game we were."
On the play of Zak Boggs:
"He has done fantastic. His second goal was a finish anyone would be proud of, I don't care what league you're playing in. The first one he got a bit lucky, but the second one was a great move, a great goal. And he nearly got his hat trick at the end from a great shot that just drifted right. He had a great performance tonight and if he continues to put in shots like that he'll be fantastic for a long time."
His overall thoughts on the match:
"We've got San Jose back at home next week and we've got to keep doing what we sort of starting doing tonight. Defensively, I thought we were pretty well organized, although obviously, there were a few letdowns, one of which was an unlucky break on the own goal. We've got to take the positives out from a defensive standpoint and keep building on that towards San Jose next Saturday. "
His thoughts on the Revs' performance tonight:
"I thought it was an inspired performance. I think for 91 or 92 minutes, we stuck to our game plan, we did our job and to be honest, this hurts a lot more than getting blown out. I think we deserved a point. We dodged some bullets, but I thought it was a much bigger step in the right direction than from the last few games that we've had, so we'll take the positives from it and move on."
On the multitude of goals scored in this match and around the league:
"There were lots of goals today, not only in Columbus, but I'm happy we scored three and not two."
On Robbie Rogers:
"Lets talk about the positives, he's trying hard. He's not producing because of different things, but I have to say he is trying hard and working very hard on both sides of the ball."
On the play of Eddie Gaven:
"He had a very good game in Seattle and obviously today. He was very active. He was getting behind the defense quite a bit, especially at the end of the game. We'll see what is going to happen. He worked so hard in the preseason and in the beginning of the season in the past few games. He was playing on one side and I don't think we're going to switch and change something yet."
On his substitutions at the end of the game:
"I was trying to help the team. I think Stevie [Lenhart] was getting chances, but for some reason he wasn't finishing them. I thought if somebody else was in his place, maybe he was going to get lucky. It wasn't like he had a bad game and I had to reward the guy from the bench, I was trying to change the luck."
On preseason games and gaining rhythm:
"Those games gave us confidence. They were good games and I wish we had competition like that before every season. That was our third game in a row and we're starting to get a rhythm. We had those two by weeks and I think those two weeks, especially after Dallas, helped us a bit to get on our feet because we were nursing some injuries, but from a rhythm standpoint, that didn't help. I thought that the second half today showed the signs of the team we had in 2008 and 2009 when we had the best games, when we were creating the chances and were very creative. We scored at the end of the game. This team is finding a way to win the games."
On the Crew's offensive play tonight:
"I think we probably created enough chances to get four or five goals and they were actually really, really good chances that we created, they weren't just ones that maybe go in or maybe not; they were all chances that really we should have put in. So like I said, that's definitely a good sign for us, now we just have to do a little bit better job of putting it in the net."
On New England's first goal of the night:
"It's an easy, routine save that I've got to make. I really let the guys down, but fortunately for us, they really started playing after that. You never want to give up a goal like that; ever. It made it very interesting for us there at the end, but hopefully that gets us playing well, because up until that point, we hadn't been playing very well."
On the importance of getting all three points in home matches:
"Getting three points at home is what was most important, and now we're 3-0 at home. I think a draw tonight would felt like a loss, for sure. I'm just really glad we got the three points and we're at home again next weekend when we play Chivas [USA], which is awesome."
On the club's perseverance in the match:
"I think we find ways to get a result. When the game's not going our way, we work hard defensively. When we have games like tonight, we just keep creating chances. Even though we weren't scoring, we kept going; we kept getting crosses in and getting shots off."

Facebook is one of the only places where people would rather be liked than loved. But while liking may build your numbers base, it's sharing that gets you the love. It doesn't take much to get someone to click the 'like' button but aside from adding some glamour to your metrics and won't get you anywhere. If you produce quality content people want to share - they'll start to love you, and chances are they'll start to buy from you.
Here are five ways to get your fans to share your content:
1. Revamp Your Image & Video StrategyA picture is worth a thousand words, goes the saying. Online, a picture actually may be all you need to get noticed. Post lots of pictures and videos, and when you do make sure they're unique, and provoke some kind of emotion. Obviously, online store owners should have an album that contains product images and each photo should link to the corresponding product page in your online store. But you should also have a 'behind the scenes' album that gives your Facebook friends a peek behind the curtains of your operation. Also be sure to create an album to house pictures of your customers wearing / using your merchandise. Do a call out on Facebook, Twitter, and your ecommerce blog to get your customers to submit their photo!
2. Post Trending ContentFacebook loves timely content. Nobody wants to share yesterday's news today. Timely posts will get you shares, but keep in mind they don't have a long lifespan... often, they won't be relevant tomorrow, and certainly not 6 months from now. Make sure you post a mix of timely content and quality posts that will stand the test of time. Find out what's trending in your industry and comment on it. Say you're in the t-shirt business, go to a site like Topsy.com and type in t-shirt, or men's fashion. This free service will give you a list of what's trending in your industry. Share the news on your Facebook page, and add a little commentary to keep it interesting.
3. Show Some PersonalityA facebook post which only shares content is like an RSS reader – you can subscribe to it because of its news, but would you really want to interact with it? It's okay to keep your content short and to post often, but be sure to personalize your posts with quotes, thoughts, comments, and suggestions. They're called "Facebook Friends" for a reason - you want to treat your Facebook following as friends, so be personal with them! Bring them into your life a little, compliment them, ask for opinions, complain every now and then, go on a rant about something that bugs you (but keep it playful), and be yourself!
4. Contests, Freebies, PollsWho doesn't love free stuff? One of the best ways to get your Facebook fans to share content is to hold a contest. Start small as a proof of concept - perhaps something like "What's your favorite running shoe that we sell? We'll pick an answer at random and send you a free pair." If you get a good response you can up the ante. Polls are also a great way to strike up engagement and encourage sharing. Find something interesting to talk about (maybe it's a trending topic that you've discovered on Topsy), and ask for your audience's opinion.

Great suggestions. To your point, EdgeRank (the algorithm Facebook uses to dictate when and for how long your status updates appear in news feeds), is designed to reward engagement. As it's currently constructed, videos and photos trump text and shares and comments trump likes.
Your goal for every status update is to get your followers to do something—the more they engage, the more that will impact your EdgeRank score.
To be most effective, you need to be strategic. Build some weekly campaigns (like Shopify does with "New Store Fridays," post third party content you think will be relevant to your audience, and use images to help tell your story.
Experiment with different content to see what resonates with your audience. In most cases, a mix of questions, fun facts, and images will pique their interest.
For more on EdgeRank, check out this handy dandy webinar from the folks at Argyle Social http://argylesocial.com/webinars/figuring-out-edgerank. Lots of great insights.

Collaborative Teaching for ELLs: Are Two Teachers Better Than One?
In a collaborative or co-teaching setting, the ESL teacher "pushes into" the general education classroom to collaborate with the teacher. Collaborative teaching involves two credentialed professionals who are partners in the instruction of the lesson. One professional is usually a classroom or subject area teacher and the other is a certified ESL teacher. Ideally, co-teachers have equal responsibilities for planning instruction. Together the two teachers are lowering the student-teacher ratio and providing differentiated instruction in a manner that is not possible for one teacher.
Collaborative teachers are using the same physical space. Students are not pulled out of the classroom for one of the teachers to instruct. Although small heterogeneous groups may occasionally be pulled aside for reinforcement, I think that English language learners should not be isolated from mainstream students in the back of the classroom. In elementary schools, ESL teachers may come into the classroom for one instructional period each day.
Over the past few years collaborative teaching has become more popular as school districts search for ways to best serve the needs of their English language learners. If you ask ESL teachers who have tried co-teaching, you will hear both negative and positive responses.
Here is an example for a poor collaborative teaching situation. Paulo is a "push-in ESL teacher in a large school district in N.J. He teams with five different teachers each school day. He also teaches two classes of beginners in a pullout setting. Because of his work load, he is unable to plan lessons with his co-teachers. When Paulo goes into some classrooms, the teacher turns the students over to him and uses the time as a prep period. In others, he is helping a few ESL students at the back of the room while the classroom teacher works with the rest of the students. Usually, he serves as a classroom aide, roving around the room to help students who do not understand the instruction. He is not necessarily scheduled into a classroom when the students need him most. In one class, he comes in when kids are eating snack.
This is collaborative teaching at its worse. ESL professionals are not classroom aides. They should not be relegated to the back of the room with English language learners. What is the point of "push-in" ESL if students are kept on the fringes of the "real" instruction? Both teachers have a contribution to make. The classroom teacher contributes knowledge of the curriculum and of all the students in the class while the ESL teacher brings information about teaching strategies, second language acquisition and diverse cultures.
It is my experience that ESL teachers who are pushing into general education classrooms are generally more satisfied if they:
* have input into their schedule and whom they will be teaching with.
* co-teach specific subject and are in the classroom each time the subject is taught.
* have time to plan with the co-teacher
* enjoy equal status with the co-teacher.
* can discuss and decide their role and responsibilities in advance.
Here are some models that are used when co-teaching English language learners:
* Teach and write. One teacher teaches the lesson while the other records the important points on an overhead or chalkboard. ELLs benefit from this because information is being presented to them through different modalities. Station teaching. Students rotate through predetermined stations or activities. Each teachers works with all the students as they come through the station.
* Parallel teaching. The class is divided into two groups and each teacher delivers the content information to their group simultaneously. This allows teachers with distinctly different styles to work together.
* Alternative teaching. Teachers divide responsibility for planning. The majority of the students work in a large group setting but some students are pulled into to a smaller group for pre-teaching or other types of individualized instruction. The same students should not be pulled into the small group each time.
* Team Teaching. Teachers co-teach each lesson. This requires a great deal of planning and cooperation. Both teachers are responsible for all of the students.
* Lead and support. The lead teacher instructs the class while the supporting teacher provides assistance as she roams around the room. The supporting teacher may elaborate the important points or retell parts of the lesson. Ideally, classroom and ESL teachers should alternate roles so that one is not always the lead teacher. This type of instruction can be misused and the ESL teacher may find herself in a subordinate role.
There are many obvious benefits to co-teaching for students. ESL students have both academic and social benefits. They are exposed to the mainstream content but have the support of a second teacher. They are not pulled out of the class and learn with their classmates.
ESL teachers, however, cite many concerns. They do not want to lose ownership of their students be relegated to the status of an aide. They feel that collaboration is a lot of additional work especially if they are co-teaching with several different teachers. ESL teachers are concerned about beginners, who they feel do not really benefit from learning in the large group setting.
I think the benefits of collaboration outweigh the drawbacks. When teachers share the responsibility of instruction, lessons are more creative because two people are planning them. It's nice to have another adult in the room to be able to provide a range of support to students and to share those "ah-ha" moments.

This is a really intersting article. I am a Dip qualified teacher with 13 years experience. Three years ago I started working as a classroom assistant in a state primary school in Spain.
Although I am not the classroom teacher or a qualified primary school teacher, we do team teach and you are right in saying that the key to successful team teaching lays in careful planning. It can be a real benifit to students in large clases to have an extra teacher around, and children get more attention because of this. It is also nice to work with another adult in both the planning stages and during the class.
In my experience collaborative teaching is great when the class is well planned with clear roles assigned to both teachers, but can be a real disaster if both parties are not clear of what is expected of them.
I also team teach at training workhops which I love. However, it takes almost twice as long to plan everything. The result is twice as rich! I think the same applies to team teaching.

hi, i love your site, very informative! i'm thinking of becoming a high school ESL teacher in an english-speaking country. Is there any chance i'll get to solely teach ESL, or will i probably have to teach mainstream english too?
thanks for your help!!

Steptoe and Son Classic TV Show
One of the most susccessful British sitcom's of all time. Harold and father Albert are rag 'n bone men. Harold does the graft while Albert does his best to frustrate, annoy and avoid work. An all time classic.
Steptoe and Son Fan Tributes7 Karl Franklin from England: Steptoe & son is the best sitcom ever made.Every episode is a classic,Great writing,great actors!
My Favorite tv show of all time!
6 Barry Burrell from Boston, UK: Absolute brilliance a true inspiration
5 from: men of letters was really great
4 Harvey S.Hudson from Llandudno: Comedy at it's best. They simply don't make comedy programmes as good as this anymore.
3 scott webb from essex ,england: "You dirty old man"
2 Dave Smith from Oldham: A timeless classic to be watched over and over again, never to be missed. A prime example of how good the beeb used to be.
1 Roger C Bull from Cornwall: Steptoe and Son was without doubt a true classic sitcom that is as funny today as it was all those years ago when it was first broadcast. There are absolutely hundreds of memorable moments that it is difficult to choose a favourite. However some of my all time favourites were :-
Albert accidentally stabbing Harolds waterbed with a pair of scissors.
Albert confined to bed with a bad back and when it suddenly gets better he decides not to tell the worn out Harold.
The episode where Harold decides to divide the house into two and they each end up with half the TV screen.
And who can forget the wonderful episode where the two escaped convicts break in.Leonard Rossiter who played one of the convicts asks Harold for the keys to the car to which Harold replies " We haven't got a car we've got a horse. "
To which the incredulous Rossiter retorts "who do you think I am ? Dick Turpin! "
Despite the numerous repeats one episode that is very rarely shown is the one where Harold buys a job lot of coffins much to Alberts horror. Rather than stay in the house with the coffins Albert prefers to sleep in the stable with Hercules the horse.
Sadly in real life Wilfred Brambell was very spiteful towards Harry Corbett and the two could not bear each others company. I believe that when they toured Australia with a stage version of the show Wilfreds behaviour and rudeness was so bad that the tour had to be cancelled.
A priceless sitcom but in both sitcom and real life , a bitter,tragic relationship between these two fine actors.
Steptoe and Son
Genre: Sitcom
Year: 1962-74
Wilfrid Brambell is Albert Steptoe
Harold Steptoe is Harry H. Corbett

Mariner -5
Goals: Like its predecessor, Mariner 2, Mariner 5 was designed to conduct only scientific measurements of Venus and not attempt to photograph the planet. Mariner 5 was programmed to fly much closer to Venus to improve the chances of detecting a magnetic field and any interaction with the solar wind.
Accomplishments: The radiation team, led by James van Allen (who discovered Earth's radiation belts with Explorer 1) found no similar belts around Venus. The planet was determined not to have a magnetic field more than 1percent as strong as that of Earth. Observing how much Venus' gravity changed Mariner 5's trajectory put the planet's mass at 81.5 percent that of Earth. Seeing how Venus' atmosphere affected radio signals that were transmitted while the spacecraft was behind the planet enabled scientists to calculate temperature and pressure at the planet's surface of 527°C and 75 to 100 Earth atmospheres. These figures disagreed with readings from the Soviet Venera 4 mission and led Soviet scientists to conclude that their probe had not survived its descent to the surface as originally thought.

SAN JOSE — With recommendations for combating racism at San Jose State finally in, the first question many had last week was whether the report would join the dusty stacks of previous studies going back at least 30 years?
Shocking charges of hate crimes committed against a black freshman by his white roommates in a university dorm led the school to set up a special task force on discrimination. Topping its list of recommendations, announced Friday, is to have a campus vice president for diversity, but whether the school will follow through was an immediate worry.
"The concern is that you all are going to leave and this is going to be highlighted for a minute and then it's going to be brushed under the rug," Mexican studies professor Marcos Pizarro told fellow members of the Special Task Force on Racial Discrimination as it wrapped up its work Thursday evening on campus.
Some are counting on the influence of the task force leader, former Judge LaDoris Cordell, as the campus waits to see if one of San Jose State's darkest moments will force needed changes. Cordell told SJSU President Mo Qayoumi on Thursday night that the world was watching him.
Also pressuring campus leaders to act is the family of Donald Williams Jr., the black freshman whose story of racial tormenting roiled the campus and set off protests. Williams' roommates put up a Confederate flag, gave him a racist nickname, barricaded him in his room and fastened a bicycle lock around his neck — and later claimed it was all a joke, according to a police report.
His family filed a $5 million claim against the school, and their attorney said Friday that the panel's 52 recommendations would be a foundation of a settlement with the school.
"This is not only about money," attorney Carl Douglas said. "We want to make sure that no student of any color ever has to endure the nightmare that D.J. Williams has had to suffer. So we are hopeful that the implementation of all of Judge Cordell's recommendations provide the foundation for a resolution of Mr. Williams' claims against the university."
The recommendations include:
The full list of recommendations is online at www.sjsu.edu/president/diversity-communications/taskforce.
President Qayoumi made no specific promises on Thursday or in a statement he sent to the campus Friday afternoon, though he said he would give the report careful consideration.
"There are no easy or quick fixes," he wrote. "I am committed to thoughtful, sustainable actions that will have the long-term impact we all desire."
African-American studies and history professor Steven Millner said there is good reason to be concerned about what will happen now. He said the special task force is one of many panels convened and forgotten since he joined the faculty in 1979.
"Let's just hope that for the first time in many of these kinds of panel recommendations that the president of the university takes it seriously and actually implements as many of the recommendations as he has within his power," Millner said Friday.
Tellingly, the task force report highlights some of the old work left to languish in recent years: a 122-page Diversity Master Plan, a 2011 sociological study on campus climate by professor Susan Murray, and a Campus Climate Committee that Qayoumi disbanded to set up a separate commission on diversity.
This latest report will not collect dust, promised incoming Provost Andy Hale Feinstein, who officially begins his new role Monday. "I'm going to jump in and do my best to implement these recommendations," he said.
This week, he said, he plans to pick his top priorities and discuss them with Qayoumi and other top campus leaders. The panel has asked the administration to publicize its priorities and a timeline for changes within 45 days.
But Feinstein noted the campus will need to find money for many of the recommendations. "The CSU is not a wealthy system," he said.
Murray — whose 2011 study highlighting racial bias on campus was cited in the recommendations — said she was hopeful about the campus's future.
"I think we have the pieces in place," she said. "I think we have the momentum, and a lot of people are deeply committed to moving forward in a different way than we have in the recent past."
The bullying incident and the task force itself has drawn so much attention that changes will happen, predicted Peter Lee, San Jose State's student government vice president who also served on the panel.
"I think how much light we've shined on the issue will be enough pressure for the administration to move forward and implement these recommendations," he said.
Millner said changes were long overdue, especially in the dorms. Year after year, he said, African-American students move out of the dorms because they don't feel comfortable there.
Despite the campus's history of not following through on studies, he said, this time could be different.
"Judge Cordell's prestige is so profound in this valley," Millner said, "that anyone who would ignore the recommendations of a panel headed by her does so at their own political risk."

Will & Kate's state dinner with Taylor Swift
Prince William and his Princess Catherine will host their first ever State Dinner at Kensington Palace on November 26th in support of Centrepoint and its services to help homeless youth rebuild their lives. For 50 thousand pounds, you'll be invited to join the Cambridges at the VVIP reception for a meet and greet with their celebrity friends including Eliza Doolittle, James Blunt, Taylor Swift, and Jon Bon Jovi. And then later, at the black tie and ball down dinner, you'll be seated in "the royal circle". The event is called the Winter Whites Gala. They're putting together the guest list now.
You know what I love about this invitation?
"Carriages 11:30pm"
It's perfect then that our modern Cinderella Taylor Swift will be there, non?
Maybe she'll finally meet her Prince Charming that night: Prince Harry.
We could live off the Harry-Taylor gossip buffet for a decade, maybe more.
Not sure Hot Harry will be there though. His name isn't on the invitation. And, as a high-ranking member of the royal family, if he were scheduled to be there, it wouldn't be right to leave him off the invitation. I think he's Walking With The Wounded around that time anyway. Taylor will just have to hang out with the baby. Or Alexander Skarsgard.

About this font family
ITC Abaton, by Argentinian designer Luis Siquot, is an exercise in geometry and simplification. "It is done," says Siquot, "with few elements, with modules of only straight lines (horizontals, verticals and diagonals of almost 45 degrees). Drawing the I and the O, I got the basic elements, and so started the fight between strict geometry and optical impression, until I obtained the rest of the characters." The basic rectangular form is characterized by wedge-shaped serifs, almost like caps on the heads and feet of the letters. "Abaton has the 'spirit' of 19th-century faces used on money bills or postage stamps, but the realization is totally different," Siquot explains. Abaton is a "shaded" typeface of caps and slightly smaller caps, upright and slightly condensed in form. Although the letterforms are legible at small sizes, the shading tends to clog up if it gets too small, so Abaton is happiest as a distinctive display face.

Split into four "quarters" and spanning several genres, this book epically tells stories about madness, obsession, and creation across generations and moments in time. From a girl creating cave drawings, the trials of the 17th century witch hunts, and a 1920s insane asylum, Marcus Sedgwick connects them in an unexpected way that will keep you thinking.
Growing up in New London, Texas in 1937, Naomi and Wash are well aware of the lines that you just do not cross. The color line is one of them, but their attraction is just too strong and the two of them are willing to cross it. With a backdrop of the New London school explosion—the worst school disaster in American history—this story is about love, loss, family and our past.

LONGMONT -- Heather Surovik piled her son, daughter and their new school backpacks into her new car on Monday afternoon -- and checked off one of the many concerns that has weighed on her since July 5.
She once again has reliable transportation to get her kids to school.
A car wreck that day took the life of her unborn son, left her with injuries and bills, and totaled her Pontiac Grand Prix.
In particular, Surovik struggled with getting her 5-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter to Mountain View Elementary School and back home each day without access to her own vehicle.
"It is like Christmas in August," Surovik said.
Surovik, 27, was badly injured in the wreck when a man suspected of driving under the influence collided with her sedan.
Police believe Gary Sheats was driving west on 17th Avenue and turned left onto Pace Street in front of Surovik's car. Along with suffering her own injuries, she lost a baby boy, Brady Paul, who was due to be born within days of the accident.
She and her family wear blue bracelets with his name on them.
A friend of hers recalled that O.J. Pratt previously assisted a family hurt in a wreck to get a van when they were financially devastated after a crash, and reached out to him, Surovik said Monday.
Pratt, who has an auto auction in Denver, said he found a 2002 Buick Century, which the Skyline Kiwanis Club paid for.
Late last week, Surovik said, she got a call with the staggering news that Pratt located a car and it was hers.
John Stonum, owner of Stonum Automotive, also kicked in a $500 credit to his shop to care for the vehicle.
"I heard about it and said, 'Yeah, we have got to do something,'" Stonum said.
"Being able to get a car is just amazing," Surovik said, as she signed and initialed the paperwork that transferred the ownership.
Sheats is a multiple DUI offender and did not have insurance at the time of the wreck, police reported. He is facing vehicular assault and other charges.
Surovik said she is grateful to all the people who have rallied to help her since the wreck. She thanked each Kiwanis member present on Monday at Pratt's Pacific Event Center on Main Street.
"Thank you so much," she told Pratt.
She installed a car seat for her son and settled into the driver's seat.
"Call me if you have any trouble," Pratt called to her. "But we think it is good. We checked it out pretty well."
