Sink or Swim
Under extreme conditions, these rookie teachers dove in.
Some days it feels like the sharks are circling. Teaching is a challenge, especially the first few years. But for some, the dangers are more daunting than for others. Here are some colleagues whose first years were truly extreme, but they survived—and they're still at it.
Stage Fright
During her first few weeks of teaching, Connye Lacombe struggled to be a good sport. She was bounced from room to room as her new school was painted and plastered (work that started, inexplicably, in September), but she never complained: "As a new teacher, mine was not to question why."
But that was before her classroom was moved to the stage in the auditorium during the hottest October days on record in Minnesota.
She shared the space with another class, so the heavy plastic stage curtains had to be kept closed, cutting off ventilation. She stood under stage lights—sweat pouring down her face, glasses fogging—and attempted to teach a class of rowdy inner-city teenagers math, sans blackboard.
Then the workmen started replacing the metal lockers in the hall. "I had to yell to be heard over the banging," she recalls.
Lacombe never thought she'd be grateful to have her classroom relocated to the basement. But with windows, ventilation, good lighting, and comfortable temperatures, it was like a spa vacation compared to the stage.
She'd visit her classroom from time to time to check on progress, only to discover nothing had been done. It wasn't painted and plastered until February.
"The fact that they were trying to remodel a school while kids were in it was my first indication that common sense and logic do not apply in school administration," she says.
Lacombe was brought up to follow orders (her father was a Marine drill sergeant) but she says new teachers shouldn't have to do the same. "You don't need to put up with extreme situations like that," she says. "Don't be afraid to speak up."
Little Kid, Big Trouble
When Cari Molina was a new teacher, she was assigned to a cash-strapped elementary school in one of the poorest towns in Southern California. She expected to have at-risk students in her classroom. But she didn't bargain for Jorge—a delinquent fourth- grader with a rap sheet.
At the ripe old age of 9, Jorge was already on probation with the Sheriff's department, and Molina was required to fax in his grades and notes about his behavior to the probation officer. The news was rarely good. Jorge missed assignments, disrupted class, got into fistfights on the playground, and used language that would make a sailor's jaw drop.
Still wet behind the ears, Molina had no experience dealing with students like Jorge, but she had a gut feeling about him, so she didn't give up.
"They're all tough guys. That's how they make it through life and in the neighborhoods they come from," says Molina. "I learned to get past that to see the child within."
"Jorge taught me that at-risk students need second, third, fourth, and fifth chances," Molina says. "As much as I taught him never to give up on his education, he taught me never to give up on students."
Her continued faith in Jorge paid off. He became a better student and started behaving, if only in her classroom.
"Believe in your students," Molina says. "They'll always remember that you did."
The 90 Percent Solution
As a first-year teacher, you expect problems, but you can usually be confident that you'll be able to talk with your students. Not Sue Pearson. Her first year, in Corona, California, 20 of her 30 first- and second-graders spoke no English, and Pearson spoke no Spanish. She did have a bilingual aide, but only for 45 minutes a day.
So what did this neophyte do? She acted and drew.
"More than 90 percent of communication is body language and tone," she says. "To communicate 'mountain,' you can show a picture of a mountain, or make it with your arms. I flapped my wings, made a lot of exaggerated motions, and pointed to things."
Her charges managed to get across their most urgent messages without words, too. "The bathroom dance is the same in any language," she observes.
It helped that these small children needed to learn a lot of things that did not involve complex verbal structures. "How we line up, how we sit down, how we get a drink of water—they learn these things by watching the teacher or other kids, just like little ducklings."
She even managed to teach literacy skills because most letter sounds are the same or similar in Spanish and English. And the bilingual aide was great, when she was there. Soon, Pearson started learning Spanish, while the children picked up English. Even before they could speak, they could understand much of what she was saying.
A shared language would have been better, of course. To teach effectively, she notes, you have to gauge a student's comprehension, and that's hard if you can't understand the child's language. But Pearson continued to teach classes that included non-English speakers for several more years. At one point, she had students who spoke 17 languages.
She now teaches English as a Second Language in Missouri.
"Teaching has so many redeeming moments, when you see the 'Ah-ha!' go off. And I don't know another job where you get to play kickball. The little kid in me responds to the little kid in the kid."
Pearson's advice to first-year teachers in an extreme situation: "Pray hard."
Student Teacher At the Helm
Carol Sanders had her extreme teaching crisis before she really got started.
It was 1983. She was a student teacher, one week into a six-week, get-your-feet-wet experience, when she was unexpectedly pushed into the deep end of the pool: Her cooperating teacher was hospitalized with breast cancer.
Suddenly, she had two high school English classes to teach without help, or even textbooks.
"I had no guidance. No one said, 'Come to me if you have questions.' I don't think I ever met the principal. I couldn't call the cooperating teacher to ask, 'What can I do with Danny?' because she might be dying of cancer."
So what did she do? "I muddled through, one day at a time, making copies of materials I suppose I shouldn't have been making copies of."
Looking back, she says, "I was an idiot not to say, 'Somebody help me!' But I was only 22."
Her message to new teachers: "Never be afraid to ask for help. I've seen many new teachers flounder, but when you offer to help, say, 'No, I'm fine!' The ones who do best are the ones who ask for help."
School on the Rez
On the vast, 17 million-acre stretch of the Navajo Nation, at a dusty outpost called Red Mesa, Daniel Edwards spent his first years teaching high school.
He lived in a trailer on the teacherage, the small housing community for educators on "the rez." He stocked up on groceries and clean socks—the nearest store was more than an hour away, as was the nearest laundromat. In clear weather he could pick up baseball games on the radio to break up the stillness of the evenings. Not that Edwards had many idle evenings—most nights he was preparing for his whopping five-class course load: World History and Geography, Economics, Biology, Journalism, and Native American Studies.
"With a small school and limited staff, a lot of us had to teach 'out of subject,' but we did what we could to provide our students with the same opportunities as larger schools," Edwards says.
He admits it was tough. This was the 1980s, long before the Internet, and there were no textbooks or AV resources for some of his classes. He often traveled to a grocery store up in Cortez, Colorado, where he convinced the guys in the meat department to give him beef hearts, whole squid, and fish for the students to dissect in biology labs.
He also faced cultural challenges. Several students refused to dissect fish because, according to a Navajo legend, they could be ancestors. Edwards had to find an alternative way to include those students. "It was OK to create illustrations of the internal anatomy without actually cutting the fish open," he says. "So those students still learned about the classes of bony fish."
His advice to new teachers: "Be prepared!"
The Teacher Who Cried 'Piggy!'
The low point of Monica Watson's first year (1993) wasn't when one of her 37 fourth-graders showed up hours late because she was caught stealing a car.
Or when one of her boys threw chairs.
No, it was the day a Mom and Grandma were helping her in class, and the principal walked in with two police officers, who put Mom on the floor and cuffed her because she was wanted on a drug charge.
Watson and her class had an emergency plan to deal with the boy who threw chairs. If he had a violent tantrum, she would say, "Piggy!" That signal sent one student to the office to fetch help while the others left the room. Then the boy could be talked down or even physically restrained with less risk.
So when Watson saw the police, she said, "Piggy!" and her students dutifully filed out—although Mom's two daughters were still there to witness the cuffs.
Fortunately, says Watson, "Grandma grabbed the girls and we all talked about it with the social worker." Grandma told them the police thought it would be safer to arrest their Mom in school, where she wouldn't be carrying her gun. And the social worker said even grownups make mistakes.
That social worker, says Watson, helped her cope with many tough challenges, including the violence-prone boy. He was finally removed from her classroom in April.
But the girl who stole the car—that turned out well!
She had stolen it from a neighbor because she missed the bus and was eager to get to school. But she was only 9, and promptly crashed. The police got the neighbors to let the girl do lawn work as restitution and then drove her to school, late but ready to work.
Watson's advice to new teachers: "Find that support!" She sought out teachers who shared her teaching style, even though they taught different grades. "There are always people who will help," she says.

The delightful Futility Closet posted a simple puzzler about the next year after 1961 that reads the same upside down. It is quite easy to see that it will be 6009, and to convince oneself that indeed no smaller number exists a dozen of lines of code suffice.
The key to concision is to lift the syntax and semantics of monads into the problem. Since not every digit is itself a digit upon rotation by 180° (I admit to taking poetic license with the title), it is natural to work with failing computations, otherwise known as the option monad:
let return x = Some x let (>>=) m f = match m with None -> None | Some x -> f x
Of all the natural operations on monads known and loved by Haskell practitioners, I'll need just a bit of support:
let fmap f m = m >>= fun x -> return (f x) let lift2m f m n = m >>= fun x -> n >>= fun y -> return (f x y) let sequence ms = List.fold_right (lift2m (fun x xs -> x :: xs)) ms (return [])
As the last bit of scaffolding, I need a monadized lookup function:
let find l e = try Some (List.assoc e l) with Not_found -> None
These lines are a very well-known part of the standard library of Haskell, so I'm already six over the par. I'm looking for digits that read as digits upon a rotation of 180°. An association list maps those digits to their rotations:
let rotations = [0, 0; 1, 1; 6, 9; 8, 8; 9, 6]
If these numbers were intended to be read on seven-segment displays, I could have added the
(2, 5) and
(5, 2) pairs. By repeatedly dividing by 10 I can get the list of decimal digits of a number:
let to_digits = let rec go l n = if n = 0 then l else go (n mod 10 :: l) (n / 10) in go []
The opposite operation, building a number from the list of its decimal digits is an application of Horner's Rule:
let of_digits l = List.fold_left (fun x y -> 10 * x + y) 0 l
Reflection is a compact and dense point-free one-liner:
let reflect = fmap (of_digits % List.rev) % sequence % List.map (find rotations) % to_digits
For each digit I find its rotation, if it exists. The result is a list of digit computations, some of those possibly failed. I turn that into a list computation that succeeds only if all its components succeed with
sequence. The desired result is built out of the reversed list of rotated digits. Now a number is symmetric if it can be read upside down as itself:
let is_symmetric n = match reflect n with Some m -> n = m | _ -> false
The first year after 1961 that is symmetric is 6009, as expected:
let year = List.hd $ List.filter is_symmetric (range 1962 10_000)
That's it, twelve lines. Composition and
range are left as an exercise for the reader.

In CvS2, Chun Li is a very solid neutral focused character with high damage and mixups stemming from landing her Houyoku Sen super (QCFx2+K). She holds her own against most of the top tier and really shines against big characters.
She is the most changed character returning from CvS1, as her sprite and moveset were changed from a copy/paste of the Alpha series games to a more 3rd Strike inspired incarnation, with some Alpha and Super Turbo inspired flair.
Changes from CvS1/Alpha 3: Almost everything, but highlights...
- Houyoku Sen >>> Senretsukyaku, changes the kick super to a motion, and the last kick allows for followup shenanigans...
- No Upkicks or Upkick super, Hurts her reversal game tremendously.
- Dissapating fireball, varying strengths (HP is basically a poke)
- Almost all normals, except j.lk, s.mp, c.hk
If you're familiar with her 3rd Strike incarnation, here's the main changes:
- No EX Spinning bird kick (No reversal)
- Low MP (cancelable now)
- Low MK (not cancelable)
- Jump LK can cross up (pretty well)
- Stand MP is the "handshake" from ST, super good.
- Crouch HK is her alpha/SF2 sweep, which is a great anti air.
- The palm strike (B+HP) can only be performed close to the opponent as HP.

Basic Stats
- Health at Ratio 2= 14000(Below Average, Median Health is 14400)
- Stun Bar= 70 (Average)
- Stun Duration Time= +/- 0f (Average)
- Guard Guage Recovery Rate: Normal
- Crouching height= 61 (Very Short)
- Dash: Length= 98 pixels, Duration= 16f, Height= 0 (Cannot corpse hop)
- Run Speed= 9.0 (Fast)
- Roll: 132 Distance, 27f invincible, 2f upper body invincible 4f Recovery. (Average)
- Wakeup-Speed compared to Ryu= +6f (Very slow)
Preferred Grooves
The constant threat of at least level 1 Houyoko Sen is critical to Chun Li's gameplan, so C and N grooves are ideal choices for Chun Li. Roll cancels are an added bonus.
C Groove-
- Touch of Death C-Groove cancel combo- Canceling her level 2 Houyoko Sen into Lightning Legs allows you to link a S.HP or c.jab, c.strong afterward and cancel that into a level 1 houyoko sen, which allows the Jump HK followup. That combo alone will do over 9000 damage (at ratio 2), and a successful mixup after will usually dizzy low/mid stun characters, which should kill anyone.
- Cheap Level 1s- Chun's level 1 Houyoko Sen with the followup is the most damaging level 1 in the game (not including the mixup potential). C-groove offers level 1 supers at about a 25% discount compared to N or A. It's simple math.
- Delayed Get-up- Unpunishable method to mess with setup/safejumps.
- Air Block- This is semi important with Chun's floaty jump, but jump LK usually is a better option. Chicken blocking into low jab is a decent strategy against high priority jump ins.
- Dash- allows for an easier buffer for RC Lightning Legs.
- No Run means more methodical approaches and no running jab pressure.
- No Low Jump means you have to be really careful about jumping, Chun's jump is super high and floaty.
N Groove-
- Low jump- Low jump HP (both hits) can cover the up and down of the low jump arc. Low jump MK & LK are all good, and very useful get in tool. Low jump crossups are nice. Low jump headstomp is also easier to instant overhead people with. Lastly, since chun can link of her lightning legs, Low Jump combos are much easier with Chun Li than most characters. (Special moves cancel the extra landing lag of low jumps)
- Run- Chun's run is very fast and her low jab is extremely positive on block. This is abuseable.
- Counter Roll- A great defense against A groove guard crush customs.
- Counter Attack-> Level 3 Kikosho (corner only, power up activated) Not many characters can do this.
- Level 3 Houyoko Sen-> Level 1 Kikosho. (Very difficult to time, good damage)
- Safe fall Because Chun-Li's wakeup options are fairly poor, this helps her avoid knockdown mixups. Use caution, the safe fall is punishable.
- The extreme one shot damage of C-grooves Level 2 cancel combo
Other Grooves
- A-Groove: Her custom combos aren't anything special so A groove isn't an optimal pick (her level 1's end up offering better utility).
- P-groove: Has the stored level 3, and parry into stand MP->level 3 is a big threat, but she doesn't get much off of parries without super. Plays like a budget C-groove Chun
- K-groove: Has some juice if your JD's can take you into the 3 supers/round area. She can set JD's up well after blocked SBK's or Lightning Legs. Low jump is great for her. Overall not a hard character to keep out when she's raged, so relying on counter hit confirms is key.
- S-groove: Non flashing life S-Groove Chun is an abysmal character. Having to charge just to get level 1's (which you need for any decent damage) is obviously really bad. In desperation mode, however, she's death incarnate, capable of chaining level 1-> mixup-> level 1 into death.
Preferred Team Position & Ratio
Due to her need for meter, controlling style, and effectiveness against common anchors, Chun-Li is often the middle character as a Ratio 1. She struggles against many common leadoff characters like Cammy, Vega, and Iori, so make sure your opponent doesn't take big leads into the 2nd round.
Chun is also a fairly decent anchor, and especially shines against Sagat, Blanka, Bison, and Geese.
Frame Data
Normal Move Analysis
far st.jab
Does a small, short ranged slap. Fairly useless. Crouchable by most of the cast, and has crappy range. Overshadowed.
close st.jab
No difference from above.
She does a crouching clap-like hit aimed at the opponents legs. It's THE go to move when you're in their face. This move is as fast as normals come in CvS2. You can link fairly easily from this, especially on counter hit. Hit counter hit cr.jab, link cr.strong / far st.strong / close st.fierce xx super is a big part of why Chun is so good. FSgamer - "Some people may not find this very important, but I think it's worth mentioning that Chun's c.LP has pretty decent range (which combined with 2-frame start-up helps her get counter-hits). CH max range c.LP, far s.MP xx Kick Super is a pretty good way to land super."
I don't think I've seen anyone use this. And I don't think there's a reason to. She jumps and sticks her arm out at a slightly downward angle to attack. It stays out for a long time, just like any other jumping jab / short, so perhaps you could use that to your advantage somehow.
far st.short
Chun extends her leg horizontally towards the opponent. Pretty good range, but st.MP goes farther still. I've heard of it being able to stuff Sagat's c.HP, so perhaps it's use can be merited. Can chain into f+short. You can buffer to kick super, but only the level 3 version will hit.
close st.short
Chun kicks with her far leg, bringing it behind her closer leg. It's hard to explain...There's no real reason to use this. If you're that close, use c.lp instead.
Chun leans down and extends her leg out towards the enemy low to the ground. Hits low. That's about the only thing good about this move. Again, use c.lp instead, unless you're going for a high / low game. It's still fairly week for high / low games, as there isn't much that can connect after a c.lk. Although, c.lk xx kick super level 3 works I think.
Her cross up. Looks like a generic flying kick you see in a martial arts movie. Her front leg is extended horizontally, and her back leg is headed behind her, but folded in. Her back leg still has hit boxes, which is why you can jump behind your opponent and still hit. It's got some good priority too.
Special Move Analysis
(data compliments of FSgamer)
Lightning Legs
Press K repeatedly
* It takes 5 K inputs in order to activate this move. However, you don't have to use the same button. You can drum your fingers over the K buttons and the fifth button you press will correspond to the strength of the Lightning Legs. For instance, doing LK~MK~HK~LK~HK will result in HK Lightning Legs. ** Can be mashed, so the hitting part loops until you stop mashing, then the move recovers. Takes 17 frames from the end of the last legs. *** Each hit does 300 damage.
* Projectile moves are active for as long as they are on the screen. HP Kikouken travels about 1/4 of the screen, MP Kikouken travels about half the screen, LP Kikouken travels about 3/4 of the screen.
Spinning Bird Kick
Charge d,u+K
LK [20/2][6/2]/24 500x2 -2/? Airborne from frames 21~35 MK [20/2][6/2][6/2][6/2]/24 300x4 -2/? Airborne from frames 21~53 HK [20/2][6/2][6/2][6/2][6/2][6/2]/24 300x3,200x3 -2/? Airborne from frames 21~67
Super Moves
Level 1 4:6/2+2+2+2+3/38 2700 DN/-18 INV [full:8] Level 2 4:6/2+2+2+2+2+2+3/38 3700 DN/-18 INV [full:14] Level 3 4:6/2+2+2+2+2+2+3+4/38 4400 DN/-18 INV [full:22]
* Damage is reduced the farther Chun Li is from the opponent. Damage is also reduced if it hits an airborne opponent.
Houyoko Sen
Level 1 4:[13/2][4/2][4/2][4/2] [10/2][4/2][4/2][4/2] [10/14]/27 3000 DN/-17 INV [full:8] Level 2 4:[14/2][4/2][4/2][4/2][4/2] [10/2][4/2][4/2][4/2][4/2][4/2] [10/14]/27 4200 DN/-17 INV [full:14] Level 3 4:[15/2][4/2][4/2][4/2][4/2][4/2][4/2][4/2] [10/2][4/2][4/2][4/2][4/2][4/2][4/2][4/2] [10/14]/27 5400 DN/-17 INV [full:22] * Last hit is superjump cancelable.
Super follow ups
The last hit of Chun's kick super is superjump cancelable. That means exactly what it sounds like. She can cancel the last hit of her kick super with a superjump, and continue to combo her enemy. Here are the most common and useful follow ups.
- Kick super xx sj.hk Her most useful move after the super mixup wise. This hits twice, and hits your opponent higher into the air. This allows you to land much earlier than your opponent. Enough to walk behind where he/she will land. With all the time you have, you can set up for a nice high / low / cross up mixup. Here are some options...
- Walk behind where your opponent will land, combo xx super xx follow up. This is a very nice cross up. Many people get confused as to which way to block. I recommend crossing up, cr.jab, close st.fierce, and depending on if you hit or not, super. Or, if you don't have meter, fireball.
- Walk to seem like you will cross up your opponent, but stop, don't cross, combo xx super xx follow up. If your opponent gets used to you crossing up after the super, or has prior knowledge against Chun, this is good. This, combined with the above option sets up a good 50/50 mixup on it's own. Again, if you hit, super xx follow up
- Upon landing, j.lk cross up Yup. You can use this for almost guaranteed way to make sure you continue pressure, but it's fairly obvious as to what you're trying to do. You can continue pressure to try and throw / counter hit. Again, it's still fairly obvious as to what you're gonna do, but if you have LOW JUMP, it's a little more tricky. One, because if you low jump, it's more ambiguous as to what side you're gonna hit on. Two, because your opponent has less time to react to short jumps, you can play an okay high / low game. Now, if Chun could have a better quick, low hitting move that was bufferable into super that WASN'T cr.strong, I'd change the word "okay" to "badass". If you cross up with lj.lk, cancel into HK legs, and combo super xx follow up. See a pattern yet?
- (contributed by FSgamer) Walk, oc.HK "I know this sounds dumb, but df+HK is a pretty decent move to use after the walk under cross-up. Although the move is slow it can be hard to react to it properly. It can hit from the front, it can hit from behind, and there's a certain distance where it hits from the front but she lands behind the opponent, which can confuse the hell out of the opponent. Plus, it has frame advantage so you can always pressure the opponent with c.LP afterwards if they block."
- (contributed by FSgamer) RC Lightining Legs when they land "Why not? it's invincible, can lead to a combo into super, does good chip damage, etc. Just one more mix-up to Chun's arsenal."
- Kick super xx sj.fierce, fierce Easier timing then sj.hk. But...No terribly great mixups. Leaves you fairly close to your opponent upon landing however, so you could continue to try and pressure fairly easily. Mainly done for if you need it to kill someone and don't wanna mess up the timing.
- Kick super xx sj. d+mk (her famous headstomp), fierce (whiffs) fierce (hits) This is going to be odd to explain. Okay, the second hit of her fierce has 1 point of juggleablity. This means, it can hit someone in hitstun who is in the air. Her sj. d+mk allows her to stick out another move in the air after you do it. So if you sj. d+mk, and mash on fierce fast enough, you should be able to get the second hit of her j.fierce out fast enough to the point where it will juggle. As for useage...I don't even know if it does more damage than her double fierce follow up. It gets pretty much the same mixups too. So *shrug*. Use it if you want to be fancy, I suppose.
- Kick super xx (slight pause) headstomp This follow up allows you to still be in the air when your opponent lands. Meaning you can treat it as a jump in attempt of sorts. Your opponent doesn't really have time to try a normal anti air, but they can still uppercut you if they have one. A tricky follow up to the headstomp...Is to headstomp when your opponent lands. This pops you up yet again, and lets you stick out ANOTHER move. From here you will be headed behind your opponent. Which means you go for a cross up short, combo xx super xx follow up. *FSgamer - "You can change the timing of the j.lk so that it can hit from the front as well." If you don't see the pattern by now...Drop Chun.
The Basics
Chun's gameplay revolves around comboing into her crazy level 1s or her deadly level 2 cancels, and pressuring with her quick, high priority pokes. The reason is her supers do some serious damage, even at level one, and lead into some very confusing mix ups. There are several ways she can land her super. Here are the basic ways...
Bait something, counter hit cr.jab, cr.strong/close st.fierce xx kick super
Chun can mix up between cr.jab and walk up throw pretty easy, thanks to her fast walking speed. One of the most common ways to nail a counter hit with Chun is mix up between walk up throw and walk up cr.jab again. If they do anything to avoid getting thrown, you hit them with cr.jab, cr.strong/close st.fierce xx kick super xx sj. follow ups. Her cr.jab is as fast as normals get in CvS2 (2 frames). On counter hit, the cr.jab, cr. strong is very easy. Attempting to close st.fierce is a little risky in this scenario, because of range. You might get a far st.fierce, which does not link. But, it does more damage if you pull it off.
whiff punish something with far st.strong xx kick super
If you see someone whiff something laggy, punish with far st.strong xx super. Far st.strong is her farthest reaching move, and is also bufferable into kick supper. It's a high priority poke as well.
cross up j.short, cr.jab cr.strong/close st.fierce xx kick super
Her j.short is pretty decently prioritized, and stuff a lot of anti-airs. The fact that it's a cross up also helps her keep pressure, as cross ups leave you very close to your opponent. If you land the cross up, combo into super. Close st.fierce is much safer to try this time. Not only is it an easier link, you're closer to your opponent thanks to the cross up, and the chances of you getting a far st.fierce almost non-existent.
cross up lj.short xx hk lightning legs, cr.strong xx kick super
lj.shorts are really hard to react to, especially if you cross up with them. Cancel the recovery of the lj.short with HK lightning legs (the reason for this is that low jumps have 8 frames of recovery on landing that is cancelable only into special moves), from there, you can link off of HK legs. It's a little tight, and the timing is a little different, but once you get it down it's a great tool. Of course, you can only do this in grooves with low jump. You can link a cr. jab after the hk lightning legs too, if you want an extra move to hit confirm, but it's not necessary.
RC HK legs, cr.strong xx kick super
If you can RC her legs, this is a killer. A good setup would be to wake up with RC legs to counter your opponents wake up pressure. From there if you hit, you can link off it into super. RC legs is a very good momentum shifter. I'll get into more detail about RC legs later though. Honestly, I think it should go into the Advanced Strategy section because it's a little complicated.

text: Baby activities Nursery Rhymes for Preschoolers Here are some ideas on how to have fun and play simple games through nursery rhymes with your baby.Game 1: "This Little Piggy Went to Market"(Traditional, origin Great Britain and North America)This little piggy went to market. (touch big toe)This little piggy stayed home. (touch next biggest toe, and so on)This little piggy had roast beef.This little piggy had none.And this little piggy cried, "Wee, wee, wee!"All the way home. (tickle him all over)Chant this classic nursery rhyme while changing your newborn's diaper. Touch each toe as you go, starting with the biggest and moving down the row. Whenyou get to the word "home," tickle your baby all over, and watch him squeal with delight.Game 2: "Round and Round the Garden"(Traditional, origin Great Britain)Round and round the garden (draw circle on child's tummy)Goes the teddy bear.One step, two steps... (walk your fingers up his chest)Tickle him under there! (tickle under his chin)Your newborn will love this action rhyme because it ends with a surprise tickle. Start by drawing an imaginary circle on your newborn's tummy, "round and round". Then with "one step, two steps," walk your fingers up his chest, and then tickle him under his chin and arms.Game 3: "Jack in the Box"(Traditional, origin United States)Jack in the box (cover your eyes)Sits so still.Won't you come out?Yes, I will! (throw up your arms)Babies love this exuberant game of hide-and-seek. Show your baby how to cover his eyes, and then say the first couple of lines in a low voice to set themood. Add some anticipation with the third line, and then throw up your hands and shout out the last line. Your baby will love quietly waiting,waiting...and then popping up like a jack-in the-box!Game 4: "Row, Row, Row Your Boat"(Traditional, origin Great Britain and North America)Row, row, row your boat (rock back and forth)Gently down the stream.Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrilyLife is but a dream.Your baby loves doing as much possible with you, including riding in a boat. Sit down on the floor and settle your baby in your lap so he's facing you. Besure his neck and head are supported. Hold both his hands with yours, and rock back and forth in time to the song. Vary the tempo for a fast boat ride or aslow one. Take advantage of the easy rhythm by substituting some of your own words (wash, wash, wash your face; roll, roll, roll the ball...). You'll bothend up giggling.Game 5: "Old McDonald Had a Farm" Old McDonald had a farm,E-I-E-I-O!And on this farm he had a cow,E-I-E-I-O!With a moo, moo hereAnd a moo, moo there.Here a moo, there a mooEverywhere a moo, moo.Old McDonald had a farm,E-I-E-I-O!You can continue with whatever animals you like, such as duck ("quack, quack"), dog ("woof, woof"), cat ("meow, meow"), sheep ("baa, baa"), and horse("neigh, neigh").This song is so engaging it can make a baby feel as if he's actually singing the words. The sounds are fun to make, and the words help your baby learn thenames of many animals. Sing it on the way to the zoo or to a farm, then make the sounds when you meet the animals. Your child will be thrilled to find itall so familiar.Game 6: "Humpty Dumpty"(Traditional, origin Great Britain)Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. (tip baby back slightly)All the king's horses and all the king's menCouldn't put Humpty together again.Game 7: "Trot, Trot, Trot"(Traditional, origin Great Britain)Trot, trot, trot to London.Trot, trot, trot to Dover.Look out, ____, (baby's name)Or you might fall OVER! (tip baby to the side)What could be better than a knee-bouncing action rhyme? Sit your baby on your lap so he's facing you. Hold him under his arms, lift your heels, and let thebouncing begin. This game is best for older babies whose neck muscles are strong enough to support their head.Learning and GrowingThrough music, your baby is learning auditory discrimination skills essential for language development and later for reading. By singing songs throughoutthe day, you are helping him begin to identify and respond to the sounds, pitches, and patterns of language. You're also helping to develop a strongemotional and social connection with your child.Finger play, action rhymes, and simple repetitive songs are important to a baby's development of language and memory as he learns to anticipate, predict,and attach words and meanings to actions.

The Coming and Going of Bicycles (that's life)
Thursday, August 27, 2009
sorry your bike got stolen. its beautiful. when some guy offered it to me for 40 bucks, i didnt even think twice. i was drunk, missing my bike and figured if not me, someone else would buy it anyways. also, my bike got stolen last week. who knows, maybe you bought it for 40 bucks from some guy on the street. so if you see me riding it, feel free to say hey. maybe we could trade back. if not, you can buy it from me for 40 bucks. id buy my old bike back for 40 bucks. it was way more comfortable than this one.

The best place to learn Chinese language is in China. However, we understand that it isn't always possible to move here to study Chinese language. The next best thing is to study with our experienced teachers in a virtual classroom.

In 1912 at the age of 18, the yet-to-be-known E.C. Segar signed up for a cartooning correspondence course under a man named W.L. Evans out of Cleveland, Ohio. He would later come to credit Evans as a true mentor, and the lessons he learned in this course as the key to his success in creating Popeye.
"The Jungle Song" pictured above is one of Segar's assignments from way back then. When enlarged, you can see comments to Segar from Evans including "you have the humorous spirit all right"
In June of 1935, Segar gives a nod to W.L. Evans in a Sappo strip in which the character has recently taken a correspondence course to become a cartoonist. Take a closer look at the first panel and you'll see the initials "W.L.E." on Sappo's diploma.

Undersized shortstop integral in outsized team success
By Mike Bauman
August 14, 2007
Rizzuto, sliding safely into home against the Detroit Tigers in 1949, was only 5 feet, 6 inches tall and 150 pounds. "I hustled and got on base and made the double play," he said of his role with the Yankees.
Phil Rizzuto represented the triumph of the spirit in baseball.
He was the little Scooter who could. He was only 5-foot-6, but he became a fixture at shortstop on some of the greatest New York Yankees teams of all time. He became a Most Valuable Player in 1950, and eventually, a Hall of Famer.
His death saddens everyone who ever knew of his career. But that career will remain as a reminder of what could be accomplished through determination and relentless hustle.
He was not a promising physical specimen. Rizzuto described himself, by saying, "I'm short all over, but my legs are very short." One of his classic recollections was of a tryout with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1937. As Rizzuto told it, then Dodgers manager Casey Stengel "took one look and me and ... he said, 'Listen, kid, you better go and get yourself a shoeshine box. That is the only way you'll make a living.' "
In the height of irony, Stengel was the manager of the Yankees when Rizzuto's career was at its peak.
From left, Rizzuto, Yogi Berra and Whitey Ford on Old-Timers Day at Yankee Stadium in 2004.
Rizzuto was a superlative defensive shortstop and that, combined with an exceptional offensive year in 1950 (.324 average, 125 runs, 36 doubles), won him the MVP. While he was obviously not going to hit for considerable power, his ability to make consistent contact and his wonderful touch on bunts kept him batting at or near the top of the order for years.
He was an integral part of the Yankees' success, playing on nine World Series teams, seven World Series champions, from 1941 until 1955, with three seasons spent in the military during World War II.
He was an indispensable part of Yankee teams that dominated an entire era. That sort of thing says more about his worth as a player than any number can. He played with style and effervescence and joy, but he was also a winner.
As a popular player and a Brooklyn native, Rizzuto was ideally placed to continue with the Yankees in the broadcast booth after his playing career ended. He was not exactly Vin Scully in the booth, but he was spirited. Everyone who has spent more than 10 minutes with baseball has heard a recording in which Phil Rizzuto shouts "Holy cow!" on the occasion of an exceptional play.
He was so big as a broadcaster that he went, although unintentionally, cross-cultural. Rizzuto was featured on Meat Loaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" epic. Although Rizzuto had no idea of the song's salacious subject matter when he recorded his portion of it, and the whole episode eventually embarrassed him, his appearance on that hit record was a type of a tribute to his standing. When the rocker wanted a baseball broadcaster to perform on his song, he went to one of the genre's most recognizable voices and styles.
In the end, Phil Rizzuto will be remembered, especially by Yankees fans -- but also by all baseball fans -- as someone who embodied the qualities of will and perseverance, and someone who played and broadcast the game with a pure, unvarnished joy.
The little guy who was supposed to earn a living with a shoeshine box instead became a Yankees fixture, a Yankees legend, and a Hall of Famer. He went from unlikely to stardom in a truly singular career. Phil Rizzuto will always be part of the game.

IMDB Rating: 8.0/10 from 23,378 votes
Release: 1987 / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Genre: Action, Adventure, Animation
Director: Kevin Eastman
Stars: Barry Gordon, Cam Clarke, Renae Jacobs, Townsend Coleman
Synopsis: Watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles online free. In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Putlocker Full Episodes, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is an American animated television series produced by Murakami-Wolf-Swenson. The pilot was shown during the week of December 14, 1987 in syndication as a five-part miniseries and began its official run on October 1, 1988. The series featured the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters created in comic book form by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. The property was changed considerably from the darker-toned comic, to make it more suitable for children and the family. The initial motivation behind the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series was that, upon being approached to create a toy line, Playmates Toys was uneasy with the comic book characters' small cult following. They requested that a television deal be acquired first, and after the initial five-episode series debuted, the California toy company released their first series of Ninja Turtles action figures in the summer of 1988. The two media would correspond in marketing style and popularity for many years to come. David Wise and Patti Howeth wrote the screenplay for the first five-part miniseries. When the series continued in the second season, comic artist Jack Mendelsohn joined the show as the executive story editor. Wise went on to write over seventy episodes of the series, and was executive story editor for four later seasons as well. Wise left the series partway through the ninth season, and Jeffrey Scott took over as the story editor and chief writer for the rest of the show's run.

Sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) are drainage solutions that provide an alternative to the direct channelling of surface water through networks of pipes and sewers to nearby watercourses.
By mimicking natural drainage regimes, SuDS aim to reduce surface water flooding, improve water quality and enhance the amenity and biodiversity value of the environment. SuDS achieve this by lowering flow rates, increasing water storage capacity and reducing the transport of pollution to the water environment.
The need for alternative drainage such as SuDS is likely to increase to meet environmental challenges such as climate change and population growth. Provision for SuDS and the national standards required for their design, construction, maintenance and operation is included in the Flood and Water Management Act 2010.
The BGS are currently investigating how infiltration SuDS schemes impact on groundwater using a permeable pavement car park as an observatory.
SuDS, their benefits and potential impacts explained
Will the ground accept water? What is the potential for ground stability or water quality problems associated with soaking water into the ground?
BGS can provide subsurface data and information that may help make decisions about the suitability of the subsurface for the installation of SuDS.
This dataset is suitable for those involved in the planning and design of sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) and for those who approve SuDS planning applications within local authorities.
The BGS has developed an BGS infiltration SuDS map that provides information on the suitability of the ground for infiltration SuDS. Explore the type of data included within the map via an online viewer.

Facebook has restructured the company so that product executives report directly to chief executive and founder Mark Zuckerberg, causing some to speculate the move is to ease fears about its initial public offering.
The reorganization focuses mainly on its new products and ways to streamline the development process, Facebook told the San Jose Mercury News:
We can confirm that in order to streamline the product development process, we have reorganized our technical teams into product groups that report into Mark. These groups will be lead by Bret Taylor, Chris Cox, Greg Badros, Mike Schroepfer and Sam Lessin.
U.S. & World
Facebook declined to comment on the executives' new duties or responsibilities.
Facebook is preparing for what could be a $100 billion IPO in 2012 and it needs to show investors it has a "clear chain of command for development of new products," said Charlene Li, founder of research and advisory firm, the Altimeter Group. "[It] creates a much more logical understanding for what the company is doing, and what their focus is on," she said.
It's interesting that Zuckerberg is doing essentially what Google's Larry Page has done -- making executives report directly to him and streamlining the process. That's important as a company gets larger, as Facebook is doing -- it hopes to hire thousands in preparation for its IPO. To deal with rapid growth or changes, the company would have to make some internal changes, so it's not a surprise Facebook has made them. The only surprised is that it's just limited to product development.

Happy Texas Review by Richard Kirkham
The world is full of little movies that have charm, whimsy and a great story to tell. Once in awhile, a movie like that catches fire and becomes a critics and audiences darling. "Little Miss Sunshine" is a good example of that. It went on to garner Awards and sell tickets and DVDs for years. Unfortunately, that was not the fate of my first entry for FMR. "Happy, Texas" did enjoy some solid reviews and everyone I know who saw it has told me they enjoyed it immensely. That would be three people. This movie was made on a small budget of 1.7 million dollars, and it brought back 1.9 million in U.S. box office, without any International release that I found. That means that it lost money, because budget does not cover prints and advertising. Putting the movie in theaters cost someone some cash.
Now the film has been available since 1999, so some may have seen it on home video in some format or other. I hope you are one of those lucky people, but even more than that, I hope you are one of those people who has yet to see it and you have this joyful experience to look forward to. While I do think it has a high level of repeatability, it is a great discovery that will bring huge rewards to first time viewers. There is a funny premise, a heart warming story, and some of the best character actors around filling up the screen. This movie is flat out funny with quotable lines and awkward situations, as well as a simple plot device that drives much of the fun.
Harry Sawyer and Wayne Wayne Wayne, Jr are two convicts who get caught up in a prison break by a violent offender named Bob Maslow. They are not particularly dangerous but even more telling, they are not particularly smart. This film is not a slapstick based on their stupidity, it is a character story that follows the misadventures they get into, every time they make a decision. The biggest choice they make is to take on the personae of the two men from whom they steal an RV, in an attempt to hide in plain sight and gain access to some cash. This requires them to pass themselves off as pageant consultants for little girls in the small town of Happy, Texas. What follows should not be revealed too much, except to say they both succeed and fail in their disguise.

Teaching Evolution and the Nature of Science
Paul Farber
The American Biology Teacher v65 no5 p347-354
The author discusses the common ways in which evolution is handled in biology classrooms. Often is included simply as a topic instead of as an organizing element. Another problem is the "fortress-mentality" approach, barraging students with a list of evidence for evolution which can make evolution appear defensive, even dogmatic. Instead, advises the author, start with Darwin and the problems he observed: taxonomic, geographic, and temporal patterns of diversity and similarity among the animals he cataloged, and how the theory of evolution by natural selection addressed those problems. The theory did not account for all problems and created some new ones, so Mendel's theories of heredity are needed to explain how traits are passed on, and the theories added when the Modern Synthesis was created deal with other issues. Likewise, theological issues associated with evolution have a history, which the author feels should be included. Throughout, the instructor should emphasize the nature and language of science.

Little Sci turned 2 on Friday and her family threw her a private party. The paps were able to capture a few aerial shots of the celebration.
There's Isabella who spends, like, zero time with her mother, even though her mother has time to attend every Nashville Predators playoff game, writing a cute message in chalk on stone for her baby sister, and Connor too, speaking to his father who at the time was holding a doll. As you would expect, Katie dressed like a 50 year old in a white linen blouse with blue bell bottoms and then there's the GMD.
The GMD decided to go into his closet and put on his best pants for the party. Pants that were 3 inches too short so that he could better show off his Victoria Beckham white sneaker wedges.
You remember those white sneaker wedges she wore to throw out the first pitch at the Dodger's game last year?
Well apparently Posh also had a pair made for Tom Cruise. And he wore them proudly.
As for In Touch Weekly's dumbass cover story this week – that KatE is leaving her husband, that she's asserting herself, that she's regaining her freedome… Please.
Xenu has an iron grip. Don't believe the bottom-feeding rags.
Check her out wearing the Cruise diamonds the other day on a heavily supervised outing, looking spacey, getting into what looks like a hearse. Seriously. Is that the best way to obscure the windows???
The GMD and Posh share shoes

standing order a physician's order that can be exercised by other health care workers when predetermined conditions have been met.
1. In biologic classification, the division just below the class (or subclass) and above the family.
2. In a reaction, order is the sum of the exponents of all the concentration terms in that reaction's rate expression. For example, for the natural decomposition of nitrogen pentoxide, the rate expression is v = -d[N2O5]/dt = k1[N2O5]. Thus, this is a first-order reaction. A reaction involving two different compounds is often a second-order reaction (but not necessarily so). Pseudo-first-order reactions are multiorder reactions in which one of the reactants is in substoichiometric amounts. Compare: molecularity.

Patient discussion about order
Q. Is there something I could do in order to prevent headaches? I have headaches often and somebody told me that there're steps to be taken in order to prevent headaches so often... Please help...
A. I just read your question on headaches. I have them occasionally as well. I don't like to take over the counter medication for headaches, so I rely on herbal supplemnts. You are ayoung man so I'm assuming you are very healthy. This herbal supplement shouldn't hurt you. It's very safe. I take at least 2 Valerian root capsules before going to bed. It relaxes your body abd it helps to eliminate headeaches.It also lowers the blood pressure which can sometimes cause headaches. Be sure you rule out any oraganic problems which can also cause headaches. You can find Valerian root at any health food/ organic markets.Also look at your diet MSG in food gives me headaches as well. I can always tell if it's present in foods right after I eat something processed. I stick with whole foods and I do yoga which helps as well. Let me know how if this works.
Q. Alcohol designator Order? What is an Alcohol designator Order?
A. Hello friend, Council can apply for an order to restrict public drinking in a particular area or areas. An order sets out the public areas affected e.g. streets, parks and open spaces, where the police could ask people to stop drinking alcohol if their behavior is deemed to be anti social. The police will be able to confiscate and dispose the alcohol and people could face a fine of up to £500 or arrest for refusing to cooperate.
Q. What actions should i take in order to keep my self in a sharp and restricted fitness control?
A. I would try some body weight circuits 3 to 4 times a week.More discussions about order

3. stop the show Informal (of a stage act, etc.) to receive so much applause as to interrupt the performance
(in Russian, obozrenie), a variety or theater presentation that consists of separate scenes and variety, choreographic, instrumental, and vocal numbers. The elements of a show are united by a common theme.
Shows first appeared in the 1830's in France under the name of revues and had a topical interest, but at the end of the 19th century the revue was transformed into a simple entertainment vehicle. In the Soviet theater and the theater of socialist countries, such as Poland and Rumania, shows are comic and satiric presentations. They are part of the repertoire of variety theaters, music halls, and theaters of miniature genres, such as the Leningrad Theater of Variety and Miniature Genres.

Art museums are the grand dames of exciting cultural outings. They certainly ignite wanderlust in my soul. Of course, there are those who speak a bit too loud at museums. "Oh this artist is an impressionist" &" Frida Kahlo painted this & it reflects her tortured soul." Ninety-nine percent of the time, they sound incredibly pretentious.
Often times, I just switch on my iPOD & jam out to the hipper than thou "Bjork/Talking Heads/Violent Femmes" playlist to drown out the annoyance. Although, I have to say I've seen some absolutely amazing exhibits.
My most memorable exhibits were not the typical Andy Warhol & Pablo Picasso fare. However, those were incredibly interesting & remarkable. There were the not so pleasant smelling exhibits such the ketchup splattered on canvas, which made me crave French fries. A village in India made from soup cans was the most interesting exhibit. Soup cans & ketchup are household goods. For someone with loose screws & lots of imagination, it is art. For these fine folks an art brush & fancy colors just won't do.
Going to advertising school equates drawing. I'd always been more of a wordsmith, but secretly wanted to sketch. Writers & painters live in two different worlds & rarely jet set to each other's galaxy. My artist friend Jackie took time to teach me the art of sketching. It all commenced with a water bottle. I had to follow every contour carefully. I studied the object closely & after careful sketching, it looked like a water bottle on paper.
Soon, stick figures went the way of vinyl records. I sketched my own portrait as well as a few friends. Not everyone loved it, but it was entertaining. Art in general is subjective. One of my favorite artists is Jean-Michel Basquiat. I love his funky use of reds & yellows. Although, it's world renowned pop art, not everyone would classify his intense paintings beautiful. There are the traditionalists who prefer Monet's soothing greens & interpretations of London's iconic Big Ben.
Many artists felt unsure of their work. As the cliché saying goes, " beauty is in the eye of the beholder,'" so is art. Personally, I love how culture shocked I'm staring into a Frida Kahlo painting. Although, my sketching won't hang in a museum, I enjoy the process. It feels like a miniature holiday for the many minutes it takes to sketch a bottle (or other objects).
Regardless of what people think, I'm gonna keep on drawing. It's always more fun to sketch & analyze art with some rock n' roll in the background.

A new book, Photographs Not Taken, conceived and edited by photographer Will Steacy compiles personal essays written by more than 60 photographers about a time when they didn't or just couldn't use their camera.
The book, released by Daylight, is a fascinating compilation by a wide cross-section of image makers from around the world and is often filled with thoughts of regret, restraint and poignant self-realizations.
On the eve of the one-year anniversary of Tim Hetherington's tragic death in Misrata, Libya, we present one of the most eloquent chapters from the book, in which the photographer offers his thoughts on depicting the dead in photographs and the questioning moment he had after making a picture of a dead soldier in Afghanistan:
There are many reasons not to take a picture—especially if you find the act of making pictures difficult. I was not brought up with a camera, I had no early fascination for pictures, no romantic encounters with the darkroom—in fact I didn't become a photographer until much later on in life when I came to realize that photography—especially documentary photography—had many possibilities. One thing for sure was that it would make me confront any inherent shyness that I might feel. It did, but I still find making pictures difficult, especially negotiating and confronting "the other," the subject, and dealing with my own motivations and feelings about that process.
This personal debate about making pictures was particularly apparent during the years I lived and worked in West Africa. In 2003 I lived as one of the only outsiders with a rebel group that was attempting to overthrow then-President Charles Taylor. It was a surreal experience—cut off and living in the interior of the country, I accompanied a rag-tag army of heavily armed young men as they fought their way from the interior forest into the outskirts of the capital, Monrovia. Reaching the edges of the city was an exhilarating experience after weeks of living in a derelict front-line town with little food. At one point, the rebels took over the beer factory and, after liberating its supplies, turned part of the facility into a field hospital where people with gunshot wounds were treated with paracetamol. Outside the factory compound lay about five bodies of people who, from the look of things, had been executed. A number had their hands tied behind their backs and most had been shot in the head and, despite the graphic nature, I had no qualms about making some photographs of these people.
Not long after, government forces counterattacked to push the rebels out of the city. Everyone was exhausted from the lack of sleep and constant fighting, and the retreat quickly turned into a disorganized scramble to get out of the city. Soldiers commandeered looted vehicles, and I even remember one dragging a speedboat behind it in the stampede to escape. To make matters worse, government soldiers were closing in on the escape route and began firing from different directions on the convoy of vehicles. One rocket-propelled grenade took out a car behind ours, and at one point we abandoned our vehicles and took shelter in a nearby group of houses. I began seriously considering abandoning the rebels and heading out on my own toward the coastline on foot, but luckily thought better of it and got back inside the car with the group I was with.
The road slowly wound its way away from the low-slung shacks of the suburbs and back into the lush green forest. Our close-knit convoy started to thin a little as some cars sped out ahead while others, laden with people and booty, took their time. The landscape slid by as I tried to come down and calm my mind from the earlier events—I was in a heightened state of tension, tired, hungry, and aware that I was totally out of control of events. Just as I started to feel the euphoria of being alive, our car slowed in the commotion of a traffic jam. A soft-topped truck up ahead that was carrying about 30 civilians had skidded as it went around a corner and turned over on itself. A number of people had been killed and wounded—probably having the same thoughts of relief that I had before calamity struck. Now they were dead and their squashed bodies were being carried out from the wreckage. Someone asked me if I was going to photograph this—but I was too far gone to be able to attempt any recording of the event. I couldn't think straight, let alone muster the energy needed to make a picture. I just watched from a distance as people mourned and carried away the dead. My brain was like a plate of scrambled eggs.
There isn't much more to add, but I always remember that day and the feeling of being so empty—physically, mentally, and spiritually—that it was impossible to make the photograph.
Years later, when I put together a book about those events in Liberia, I included a photograph of one of the people who had been killed outside of the beer factory. I thought it was an important picture but didn't dwell on what it might mean for the mother of that boy to come across it printed in a book. My thoughts about this resurfaced recently as I put together a new book about a group of American soldiers I spent a lot of time with in Afghanistan. They reminded me a lot of the young Liberian rebel fighters, and yet, when I came to selecting a picture of one of their dead in the battlefield, I hesitated and wondered if printing a graphic image was appropriate. It was an image I had made of a young man shot in the head after the American lines had been overrun—not dissimilar from the one in Liberia. My hesitation troubled me. Was I sensitive this time because the soldier wasn't a nameless African? Perhaps I had changed and realized that there should be limits on what is released into the public? I certainly wouldn't have been in that questioning position if I'd never taken the photograph in the first place....but I did, and perhaps these things are worth thinking about and confronting after all.
—Tim Hetherington
Tim Hetherington (1970-2011) was a British-American photographer and filmmaker. His artwork ranged from digital projections and fly-poster exhibitions to handheld-device downloads. Hetherington published two monographs, Long Story Bit by Bit: Liberia Retold (Umbrage Editions, 2009), and Infidel (Chris Boot, 2010). His Oscar-nominated film Restrepo, about young men at war in Afghanistan, was also released in 2010. Tragically, Hetherington was killed while covering the 2011 Libyan civil war.
