The Student As Teacher
Posted 30 April 2003 - 06:12 AM
Teacher talking to a class (5%)
Student reading a book (10%)
Student watching an audio visual presentation (20%)
Student watching a teacher demonstration (30%)
Students taking part in a discussion group (50%)
Students involved in an activity that is related to what the teacher wants them to learn (75%)
Students teaching others (90%).
These research findings do not surprise me. I once carried out some research on a group whom I had taught over a period of six years (11 to 17). The information they had retained from their history lessons reflected the findings of US National Learning Lab, in that the most effective learning was related to the amount of active participation from the student.
However, it seems to me that the majority of teachers spend much of their time using teaching methods which, according to US National Learning Lab, are fairly ineffective. I suspect the main reasons for employing traditional instructional methods are as follows: (1) this was the way that the teachers were taught when they were pupils at school; (2) this was the way that teachers were trained to teach; (3) this is the accepted way of teaching amongst colleagues - i.e. peer group pressure; (4) teachers enjoy being performers; (5) the teacher feels more in control of the situation when traditional instructional methods are used.
Tradition is the great enemy of innovation. One of the advantages of using the Internet in the classroom is that it encourages teachers to think again about teaching methods. One of the fears that I have is that teachers producing materials online will attempt to duplicate the methods they use in the classroom.
The idea that students should play an active role in their learning is not a new idea. In the 1960s educationalists like Jerome Bruner argued that people learn best when they learn in an active rather than a passive manner. He used the example of how we learn language. It is claimed that this is the most difficult thing we have to do in our life, yet we learn it so young and so quickly so easily in fact, that some experts in this field have argued that language is, to a certain extent, an inherited skill.
Bruner argues that the reason we learn language so quickly is due to the method we use. As we are introduced to words, we use them. We test them out. Words immediately became practical. We can quickly see why it helps us to know these words.
This method is very different from the way most subjects are taught at school. The student is usually a passive receptacle trying to take in information that they will need for some test or examination in the future. To complete this task effectively depends on students employing what sociologists have called deferred gratification. This is something that most young people are not very good at. They want their pleasures now, not in the distant future.
In his book, The Process of Education (1960), Bruner argues that it is possible to teach any topic or subject using the same methods that we use when learning language. This involves structuring the material so that the student can test out and use the information in a practical way.
Bruners ideas on learning helps to explain why the Learning Lab researchers found that the highest Retention Rate occurred when students were given the opportunity to teach other students. As teachers we have all had the experience of having to teach something we do not know too much about. How quickly we learn when we know that the next day we will be faced by students asking us questions about the material.
It is fairly straightforward to set up situations where students teach other students. For example, the class could be divided into two. Each group is given a different topic to teach. When the material has been prepared the children are paired up with someone from the other group.
Another strategy is to get the students to prepare teaching materials for another class to use. I saw this approach being used successfully by one of our members, Richard Jones-Nerzic, at the International School of Toulouse.
A student in a traditional teaching environment can be very passive or docile but when he or she has to take on the role of teacher and instructor, the student is empowered. The student as teacher can prove to be an extremely positive and liberating experience for both the student/teacher and the class that makes up the audience.
Anybody who has read the novel A Kestrel for a Knave (by Barry Hines) or seen the film Kes (directed by Ken Loach) will remember the scene where Billy Casper teaches the rest of the class about kestrels. Billy Casper undergoes a transformation in this scene because probably for the first time in his life he has been given the opportunity to share his knowledge and expertise.
How can we as teachers create similar situation to the Billy Casper effect in the classroom? I would like to finish off by looking at one practical example of how it could be done.
The example concerns the subject of the Home Front. During the war the British government was constantly monitoring the success of its various policies concerning the Home Front. The government was also aware of the possibility that it might be necessary to introduce legislation to deal with any emerging problems.
The students have to imagine they are living in Britain in December 1941. The students are asked to write a report on one aspect of government policy (evacuation, rationing, refugees, etc.). The web page provides work on a total of 36 different topics, so it should be possible for each student to have a different topic.
Every student has to report back to the class about the topic he or she has investigated. (1) Each student has to provide a report on what has been happening in their assigned area since the outbreak of the war. (2) The student then has to make proposals about the changes they would like to see in government policy. (These proposals are then discussed and voted on by the rest of the class.)

However is there a danger that students of lower ability will struggle to do much more when "teaching" than to read out copied materials?

pupils are regularly asked to:
~ Work in pairs with resources to prepare one side of a debate on a controversial topic relevant to their study (e.g. are US pressure groups good or bad for democracy?), present their case, listen to their opponents cases and then seek to deconstruct each others' cases. thus pupils are teching themselves and each other.
~ Present essay plans to the rest of the class on the whiteboard
~ Each study a different aspect of a topic (e.g. constitutional powers of the President) and then feedback to the class in turn.
these approaches have worked very well, allowing pupils to take ownership of their learning (and saving precious time in lessons too).
i am a firm believer in the notion that the best way to ensure you understand something is to explain it to someone else, this ensures that you not only have a bank of knowledge but that you genuinely understand the issues and how they interconnect, also once you have done this the understanding tends to stay with you.
I have taken this approach into year 9 where pupils have to research and then give presentations twice in the year: -
~ An aspect of life in victorian society
~ A WW1 battle that involved local regiments (part of our local study)
I have found that very often it is the lower attainers who thrive on the activity the most. they are given the opportunity to take control of their own learning and prove to the class what they can achieve; in order for this to succeed it is important that the topics, resources and instructions are carefully chosen to prompt the desired response from the pupils.
In a similar field i am a great believer in teaching through open questions. In history so much can be made of the enquiring minds and thought processes of students. we ought to spend far more time asking pupils to figure out why event happened and what happened next etc though careful questioning, and the pupils' responses will then teach each other the key understanding.
An example of this would be to teach the Schlieffen Plan through the following method.
Get pupils to study the statistics for the strengths of the 2 alliances at the start of the war. Ask pupils what is of most use to an army seeking a quick victory (more soldiers& weapons), what do you need to win a long war (population, money, production capacity), pupils will then be able to deduce that Germany wanted a quick victory. Pupils then study a map of europe and the 2 alliances. Pupils are asked why Germany has a problem - it is surrounded, making a quick vicotry difficult if it has to split its forces. Now you throw in the one peice of 'teaching' (- Russia historically was slow to mobilise its forces), and ask pupils to generate a plan for germany to win the war.
Every single one of them comes up with the Schlieffen Plan, through their thought processes and responses, pupils are pushing each others' understanding along, and the teacher's role is simply to ask the questions that provoke this pupil led learning.

With the advent of greater on-line learnign I think that this type of elarning style may become more open to teachers across the world. I think that the issue over the regimentation of the NC does mean that learning styles like this are limited in opportunity but with greater freedom that nedd not be the case.

The techniques John suggested are alluded to in the Key Stage 3 strategy - here the starter activities, or the wider range of suggested activities give teachers the potential to use more active techniques. It obviously doesn't free teachers from the constraints of the National Curriculum, but it does encourage more active techniques in the classroom. We can be negative about the constraints, but this recent strategy is surely going in the right direction!
In no way a prime example, but today I started teaching the 'Images of an Age' topic. We began with the Millennium Portrait of the Royal Family. After projecting this onto the board (OHT) I gave students five minutes to prepare a presentation about the portrait, the only requirement being that they had to mention our key terms of 'image' and 'perspective'. Three students delivered their opinions to the rest of the class and the presentations and subsequent questions allowed far more effective learning to take place. I could have left the room.
I still believe fundamentally in the need to provide a wide range of lessons and teaching techniques - and the student as teacher is one of these key areas. Obviously if we did this all the time it would lose its effectiveness - the fact that the students had completed an essay assessment on Cromwell previously made this lesson all the more effective. It was something totally different.
I guess you can also turn this topic on its head - as a teacher I'm always a student, learning and developing techniques. Let's hope that continues.

as a teacher I'm always a student, learning and developing techniques.
I have got home now and had time to reflect on the lesson that I mentioned earlier in the thread about the ANC Defiance campaign. Unfortunately, as is the nature of teaching, not everything went quite to plan - I couldn't plan for the fact that the boys had just had a PSHE lesson on teenage pregnancy, which left them rather 'animated' (understatement of the century). However, the essence of the lesson worked well - all students, including a group of SEN / EAL boys working with a support teacher, were able to make a contribution to the lesson and there were some very interesting suggestions made. The groups that worked most effectively were the ones who had helped (taught?) each other to plan their campaign and had really begun to develop their ideas.
One of the important things for me was to reflect on how this lesson can be improved the next time I teach it (tomorrow), and I aim to guide the students a bit more in the direction that I feel they need to go. I also think more time was needed for an effective plenary to bring together the lesson (but dealing with lots of silly behaviour meant going 15 mins in to the lunch hour in anycase!).
As a general point, I think that most of us agree that variety is one of the keys to success and that experimentation with different teaching and learning styles is vitally important. However, experimenting comes with self - confidence and as a manager / leader that is one of my responsibilities to help the rest of my department to have the confidence to experiment. Unfortunately in this day of monitoring, assessment, target setting etc sometimes the 'powers that be' seem to have lost sight of this and have taken away the opportunities for this to happen. Although personally I am quite impressed with what I have learned so far from the Key Stage 3 strategy.

The pressure to achieve the best possible results may also mean that teachers are reluctant to hand responsibility for their learning over to students. If things 'go wrong' then valuable time may well have been lost - particularly for examination classes.
If I can quote the case of my own daughter, rather than my own teaching experience. As an A Level History Student members of her class were each allocated a topic on Stalinist Russia to research. They were then to prepare a presentation using OHPs, a summary handout for the rest of the class and a short introduction to a discussion of a central question connected with the topic. "Though I says it as shouldn't" her preparation was meticulous (helped no doubt by her access to my own library of books - few were available in her own school library - and by access to the Internet at home at a time when this was not very common among her peers). However the presentations of others in the class were not necessarily of the same standard and I know that my daughter felt that whilst she had learned far more about Collectivisation than she would have done if she had relied on more passive methods of learning she was angry and disappointed that she then had to do a great deal of work to 'plug the gaps' left by other students. The whole process had also taken a lot longer than it would have done if the teacher had been the presenter of the material.
I throw this into the discussion not because I challenge the statistics given in John's initial post, but as an 'antidote' (perhaps?) to the view which appears to be the accepted one so far.

The assignment John refers to is online on the IST Humanities Website.
Another strategy is to get the students to prepare teaching materials for another class to use. I saw this approach being used successfully by one of our members, Richard Jones-Nerzic, at the International School of Toulouse.
However, I can claim no credit for the idea! The assignment is straight out of the brilliant 'Think Through History' series, Changing Minds Chapter 6. Y8 students produce a booklet intended for primary school pupils to understand the English Reformation. In order to simplify (teach), the Y8 student has to really understand, what is afterall, a very complex topic.
What makes it special at the IST is that the Y8 students actually know the Y5 students, because we are in the same building. I take it a bit further by having the Y5 students actually assess the work. For the Y5 teacher it becomes part of a weeks worth of 'literacy hours'. We have a special joint session where the Y8 work is returned 'marked' by the Y5s. Its great to see the Y5s correct spelling, moan about font size and colours, the use of images etc. In 2001, Mr Spartacus visited the school and presented certificates to the
winners. I don't think John was aware his photo was on our site!
The only other 'innovative' aspect about the assignment is that I use it as an ICT lesson to teach booklet making with MS Publisher and then how to turn a Publisher document into HTML.
This is where the possibility of the Internet comes into play. Students who write in exercise books, write for their teachers. Students who produce content for the web, have a different sense of audience. What makes it different is that it is real. They produce materials for other students, for their family to see and whoever happens to be visiting. (You, if you happened to click on the above links) This is why 80% of the IST History website is student work. But I'm going off on something different here...

I also know that in many cases in my lessons I use 'teacher led' learning as a form of classroom management - the difficulties I had today, albeit based on the impact of the previous lesson, may have been controlled slightly more effectively by this approach, but I am not sure if the learning would have been any better.
The pressure to achieve the best possible results may also mean that teachers are reluctant to hand responsibility for their learning over to students.
In response to Richard's comments, having had a quick look at the websites and the work produced by the students I think that this demonstrates the fantastic opportunities afforded by this style of learning in conjunction with ICT. The quality of work was very impressive, but equally impressive was that it was achieved by year 8 students working with year 5. I am just starting to work on some videoconferencing ideas which hopefully could have a similar outcome.

However I am drawn to comments made by both Carole Faithorn (on the problem of students who do not rise sufficiently to the challenge and damage the learning of others) and by Richard Drew (on the need for direction and control of resources). Both of these are vital considerations in how to deliver this valid learning technique.
If the consensus of opinion and understanding on this issue is clearly with John Simkin's original post in the discussion then what we need to consider is how to allow this to be delivered in the most effective way. Clearly John's lesson on the Spartacus site about the Home Front is a very good example of how to approach the problems involved, and focusses directly on solving the issues raised by Richard Drew. Students have access to the resources they need for the project work and presentation preparation. They are directed on what to produce and are easily led to the required information. In a sense this tackles the problem of resources and focus by controlling it. I believe this also tackles the issue raised by Carole Faithorn about the problem of students failiing to meet the basic requirements of the task and so damaging the learning of others. I belive this is a totally valid point that Carole raises, and as teachers we need to be fully aware of it when we set out work using this technique.
Poor student presentations come from work that is unstructured. Giving students responsibility for their learning, and the learning of others, should not be seen as the opportunity for the teacher to pass up their own role in the process. Direction and facilitation are the key. With a set of groups or individuals preparing work the teacher must make sure that all can access the tasks and resources needed. This is our role in the process. In addition clear and structured instructions / planning sheets must be provided to allow the students to create work and organise their presentations.
If this is all done, and the teacher supports the students in every way possible then the positive outcomes alluded to by John Simkin will occur.
I am also drawn to the comments of John Simkin and other contributors about the fact that often teachers will avoid the student led learning approach as it makes it harder to control the class. This is a totally valid and reflective point to make. How many of us have said things like, "I am not doing that work with that class because it will be a total disaster". I know that I have, and continue to do so. This is reflected in the comments about the straightjacket of the NC and references to the eternal pressure for results.
This makes me think that using more student led approaches to learning requires confidence in the delivery skills of the teacher and the responses of the students. Therefore to impliment the strategy of student led learning teachers need to build up confidence in this area. Try small chunks. Set the work as homework projects over time where the students all do the same thing before feeding it back to the class. This means that in the initial stages of delivering these new ideas for learning, it does not matter for the rest of the class if one of the students fails to meet the required standards due to lack of application to the task. Make it easy for the students to succeed by really structuring the work so that they almost cannot fail to get it right. Raise the profile of the task by getting the librarian involved in setting aside an area in the library where specific resources for the task can be found. Provide weblinks to specific information so that the students don't waste time searching for it. Get them to put the work in a booklet of your design to make sure it is well presented. Once you have this basis of success in independent learning you can move into the more complex stuff in the classroom building on early success.
Innovation is a funny thing in the modern world of teaching. On the one had Ofsted and HMI will praise you to the hilt for being interesting, dynamic and innovative in engaging your students. However if it goes wrong you are left feeling you have wasted time trying to be clever. I always try to learn from experiences, as Andrew Field comments, and genuinely believe in the challenges not problems adage.
And the classes where I say "I am not doing that work with that class because it will be a total disaster"? We do it anyway because it is a challenge and not a problem.

I agree with all of this in principle despite the fact that the progressive ideology such an approach is based on does not sit well with the government imposed model of the curriculum and its testing regime.
You are right to suggest that a National Curriculum does pose problems for the active learning model. The sales of the Tressell teaching packages such as Into the Unknown, Attack on the Somme, Wagons West, etc. declined rapidly after the introduction of the NC. This was understandable because departments had previously spent a whole term using these packages. This was clearly not possible with the NC.
Attempts were made to produce new active learning materials to fit in with the NC but the problem was that the psychology of the teacher had now changed. They were now much more attracted to the blockbuster textbook produced by the multinational publishers. Although teachers were highly critical of these books at INSET meetings, etc. they continued to use them because they give them a sense of security. Every year the Ofsted report on history teaching complains that the vast majority of lessons that their inspectors observe are based on the students working from textbooks. However, can they expect anything else? Why should teachers take risks in this situation? Their view is I might be marked down as boring and uninspiring but I cant fail completely if I follow the instructions given in a standard textbook that has sold thousands of copies.
This said, I do not agree that active learning teaching methods cannot be produced to deliver the NC or satisfy its testing regime. Remember, the National Learning Lab research suggested that these methods were more effective than traditional teaching methods in helping students retain information.
However, is there a danger that students of lower ability will struggle to do much more when "teaching" than to read out copied materials?
Of course there is? This is a problem with any teaching method. However, I believe that active learning methods are more effective at dealing with this problem.
The Home Front simulation has 36 different roles. It would have been possible to have ranked those in order of difficulty. The teacher could then have used that information when assigning the tasks to the students. This would be a good example of effective differentiation in the classroom.
The task given to the students in the Home Front simulation was divided into two sections. There is no doubt that for the first task the student could just copy out the material on the website. This was not true of the second task. That involved formulating proposals to be discussed by the rest of the class. This involved doing something practical with the material. It was this that turned them into active learners.
Richard Drew
I regularly use the students as teachers with my Y13 Politics class, although as there are only 5 in the class this perhaps makes in practically easier.
Active learning methods are indeed easier to use with small and older classes. However, this in itself raises problems. I will return to this point when answering the point made by Carole Faithorn.
I have found that very often it is the lower attainers who thrive on the activity the most. They are given the opportunity to take control of their own learning and prove to the class what they can achieve; in order for this to succeed it is important that the topics, resources and instructions are carefully chosen to prompt the desired response from the pupils.
This has been my experience as well. It is a natural reaction when faced with a low achiever to think in terms of finding easier tasks for them to do. In fact, research shows that one of the main reasons students underachieve is because of the tasks being set are not challenging enough.
The problem is also caused by the unwillingness of the student to defer gratification. The task for the teacher is therefore to develop meaningful and enjoyable activities for the student to do. Then the student does not have to deter gratification. That is what Richard managed to do and therefore he got the desired result.
Dan Lyndon
Dans contributions was like watching a fly on the wall documentary. It, more than anything else, changed the nature of this seminar. It was the one thing that could not have taken place in a conventional classroom/lecture hall.
The most striking thing about Dans contribution concerned the way he analysed the lesson. It is this ability to reflect on our experiences that makes the difference between an effective and ineffective teacher. I could not agree more with his final statement.
As a general point, I think that most of us agree that variety is one of the keys to success and that experimentation with different teaching and learning styles is vitally important. However, experimenting comes with self-confidence and as a manager/leader that is one of my responsibilities to help the rest of my department to have the confidence to experiment. Unfortunately in this day of monitoring, assessment, target setting etc sometimes the 'powers that be' seem to have lost sight of this and have taken away the opportunities for this to happen. Although personally I am quite impressed with what I have learned so far from the Key Stage 3 strategy.
Notice that Dan ends up on a positive note. The truly effective teacher must always remain positive with a focus on the possibilities that any situation gives them. As Friedrich Nietzsche once said: What does not kill me makes me stronger.
Neil McDonald
I openly support the idea of the teacher being the facilitator of learning and the student being responsible for the output With the advent of greater online learning I think that this type of learning style may become more open to teachers across the world.
This is a key point. I first saw the Internet in its infancy. I spent a couple of hours searching for materials on the book I was writing at the time. I was completely frustrated by the experience and, to my shame, I dismissed it as an educational tool.
It was not until the early months of 1997 that I looked at the Internet again. The experience was completely different. By this time people (mainly university teachers in America) had started to develop good websites. What is more, search-machines had found effective ways of helping you find it.
At the time I was working on a simulation for my Y10 class on the votes for women debate that took place in East Grinstead just before the First World War. Each person was playing the role of a different character in the town who held strong views on the subject. The web did not provide me with any information on the topic (that all came from the local newspapers stored at Lewes Record Office) but it did give me ideas on how this material could find a wider audience. The economics of publishing meant that it could not appear in a book, but it could appear on a website. All I had to do was to teach myself how to do it.
It is the economics of the Internet that makes it so exciting. In the past educators were restrained by factors such as production costs and the numbers of people who would buy the books. It was therefore a risky proposition to publish materials for a market that you did not know existed. Textbooks tended to be new versions of past books that had been successful. The Internet allows educators to experiment. In doing so online educators get the opportunity to shape what goes on in the classroom. Not only in their own country (the vast majority of the visitors to my website come from outside Britain) but in the whole world.
Andrew Field
I guess you can also turn this topic on its head - as a teacher I'm always a student, learning and developing techniques.
As the work on your website clearly shows. However, I wonder how true this is of most teachers. As a provider of a great deal of INSET over the years, I have come across a great deal of resistance to new learning. That has also been my experience in the schools where I have worked. I suspect there is a psychological reason for this. Teaching is a very stressful job. Over the first few years teachers develop strategies to deal with this stress. If successful, they are then very reluctant to change these strategies. They might be boring teachers but they are teachers that are surviving.
I have run several INSET sessions on active learning. The situation is always the same. A few teachers are already using these strategies and are enthusiastic about this approach. The vast majority are not openly hostile but raise questions about its feasibility. These questions nearly always revolve around the issue of classroom control. When you deconstruct what they are saying they are particularly concerned about being in the presence of a classroom of excited learners.
As one experienced teacher said to me: I prefer closing the curtains, putting on the video, and sending them to sleep.
Carole Faithorn
My daughter felt that whilst she had learned far more about Collectivisation than she would have done if she had relied on more passive methods of learning she was angry and disappointed that she then had to do a great deal of work to 'plug the gaps' left by other students. The whole process had also taken a lot longer than it would have done if the teacher had been the presenter of the material.
This is an important point. I know when I was doing an MA in education at Sussex University we had a tutor whose main strategy was to give us photocopies of articles on education. We would all be asked to give a brief talk on the article at the next seminar. I was very enthusiastic about this at first but this soon changed. It soon became clear that the tutor had not read the articles and was unable or unwilling to raise important points during the feedback. The articles were not connected and the other students soon made it clear that they were not terribly interested in the feedback of others. However, unlike in schools, it was difficult for the students to shape the situation. The tutor was obviously not interested in the teaching aspect of the job and was more concerned with the book he was writing at the time (he is an internationally regarded expert on the sociology of education).
The important point made in Kes is that the reason Billy Casper is motivated to give his lesson on the kestrel is because of the attitude of his teacher, Mr. Farthing (note the symbolism of the name). Unfortunately, I was being taught by Mr. Pound.
For this teaching method to work it is not enough to just provide the structure. How you react to the students contribution is also vitally important. In his book, From Communication to Curriculum, Douglas Barnes has a lot to say about this issue. He makes the point that students are de-motivated if they feel that in the classroom discussion they are only filling in gaps left by the teacher. Students soon become aware that they are not involved in a truly open debate where their contributions are not valued.
Richard Jones-Nerzic
I had the honour to watch one of the lessons that was part of the English Reformation Booklet Project. One of the features of this lesson was the interest that the Y8 students showed in the opinions of the Y5 students. To more honest, I was shocked by this. After the lesson I interviewed several of the Y8 students and I became convinced this was genuine. However, the school had obviously developed a school ethos where the opinions of the students mattered. I am not sure it would have worked so well in the vast majority of schools. However, it is still worth doing.
If there are any PGCE tutors, educational researchers, LEA advisers, Ofsted inspectors, DfES officials, etc., reading this, I urge them to pay a visit to the International School of Toulouse. It will show you what you can achieve when you supply schools with the right technology and training.
There's little doubt that getting students to teach others is the best way for them to learn, but I do feel that much depends on the basic literacy standards of the students.
True but this is the case with traditional methods. However, as Richard Drew points out, the method works well with low attainers. I have already pointed out some of the reasons for this. Another factory concerns the delivery of the material. We have all had articulate students that find it difficult to express themselves on paper. How successful would Billy Caspers talk on kestrels have been if he had to read it out from a text that he had written earlier.
Stephen Drew
I agree with everything you say. An excellent account of how the effective teacher works. It should be printed out and a copy given to every PGCE student.
Posted 01 May 2003 - 04:32 PM
Hopefully the lessons will not be quite as disrupted as they have been over the last two days, but they probably will be! I'll just keep on smiling though and think about Nietzsche.

Pound for pound, sweet peppers are one of the most expensive vegetables in the grocery store's produce section. They're worth it for one or two but it's hard to justify gorging on peppers at $1.50 a pop.
But beginning in early September, the farmers market has big baskets of sweet peppers priced for a binge, some times four for a dollar.
Side-by-side with the perfect commercial beauties, garden-grown peppers are small and odd-shaped. But they're full of freshness and flavor. Yes, September is the month to feast on sweet bell peppers!
WARM PEPPER SALAD Arrange grilled peppers in a single layer in a baking dish. Top with an ounce of finely chopped anchovies, a handful of capers and Italian seasoning. Repeat with a second layer, then drizzle the anchovy oil over top. Let flavors meld in a 350F oven for 20 – 30 minutes. Good served warm or at room temperature.
Time to table: 45 minutes
Serves 4
- 4 large or 8 small sweet peppers (preferably a colorful mix of red, yellow, orange and green peppers)
- 1 clove garlic
- Juice of 1/2 a lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons Italian parsley
- 2 – 3 basil leaves
- 1 - 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
Grill whole peppers until charred, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer into a bowl or paper bag and seal tightly for 20 minutes. Remove the stems, cores and seeds, then cut flesh into quarters. Remove the skins and discard, then transfer peppers to serving dish.
Meanwhile, buzz the dressing ingredients in a small food processor (see ALANNA's TIPS) or mince and mash with the back of a wooden spoon. Gently toss dressing into peppers. Serve and enjoy!
How to Roast Peppers in the Oven
If you can, use thin-skinned peppers often found at the farmers market versus the thick-skinned peppers from the grocery store.
Don't be afraid to throw in a mild and smoky poblano pepper or two!

While rumors of the LG Nexus seem to be getting all the attention these days, Samsung hopes to make a big splash tomorrow with the unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy S III Mini. The event is schedule to take place on October 11th in Frankfurt, Germany. According to Samsung Mobile's JK Shin, there is significant demand "in Europe" for a smaller version of its flagship phone.
Up until now, speculation suggested that the Samsung Galaxy S III Mini would feature most of the high-end specs found in the current S III, but new details revealed by MobileGeeks indicate that Samsung is taking a much cheaper phone and simply labeling it with its Galaxy S branding. While the leaked image of the device suggests it will look very similar to its big brother, specifications of the Samsung Galaxy S III Mini are said to include a 4-inch Super AMOLED 800×480 display, 1Ghz dual-core STE U8420, 1GB of RAM and a 5 megapixel camera. MobileGeeks expects the phone to sell for €399 (roughly $510) when the device goes on sale later this fall.
Honestly, we're hoping that most of there details turn out to be wrong. Samsung has the opportunity to create an amazing device with a 4-inch display which could outclass the iPhone 5 and beat it on price. If these specs turn out to be true, do you think the Samsung Galaxy S III Mini will be a success?

Some days you should just start over-
Some days you should just go back to bed and start over. I'm in the process of trying to make Hamelman's cinnamon oatmeal raisin bread (modified with sourdough starter). While building the final dough I noted that the water on the scale seemed to be an enormous amount. So much so that I even grabbed another container, re-tared the scale and reweighed it. No, it seems to weigh out fine.
Final dough ends up looking like thin pancake batter. About 3kgs of it!! I'm not sure what I did wrong, not enough flour or too much water but I've been slowly adding more flour for that past hour. I'm wondering if my scale locked up or something? This is going to be one enormous batch of dough!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can work this out. Would have to happen on a recipe that is more complicated than flour, water and salt, wouldn't it? Now I'm wondering how much I should up the raisins and cinnamon, if I should add more oil/honey.
At least the fresh ground whole wheat flour (first time using the grinder) looks and smells wonderful. Can't wait to try it. Hope I haven't totally mucked it up.

Original Story: Apparently Valve wasn't happy with Wheatley's feeble attempts at creating puzzles in Portal 2, and decided to make it easier for those of us who aren't robots to design our own test chambers. In the free Perpetual Testing Initiative DLC, coming May 8, we're going to be doing just that.
Granted, some authoring tools have been out there for a while, and some really great stuff has been made with it (Robert "Radiator" Yang's Level With Me series, for example), but those tools are a bit tough to use for those not super familiar with modding. The Perpetual Testing Initiative looks to give the common man the ability to make puzzles fairly easily. And if the screenshots are any indication, they'll be able to do it in a very simple, stylish fashion.
Of course, Portal 2 being a Valve game, the DLC will fully support Steam Workshop, allowing folks to easily browse, vote on, and download maps directly into Portal 2. I expect great things from you, Portal 2 fans. Don't disappoint me.

Tom is just more detailed than the mice, because his drawing is so much bigger. The bigger your character is on screen, the more detail and contrasts in sizes you can take advantage of - if you know what you are doing.
Tom becomes simpler once you understand the basics of construction and facial mechanics .
Mouth Shape
Those 4 basic parts can add up to an infinite amount of expressions. They each can be broken down into sub parts:
Eyes have pupils.
Eyebrows have accompanying brow wrinkles and sometime individual hairs.
The mouth has an upper lip, a lower lip, a hole when its open, teeth and a tongue.
All these sub forms can help define or refine the basic expression made by the basic parts.
For example:
The wrinkles on the brow that accompany the eyebrows themselves are part of the brow muscle that is making the expression. The wrinkles go where the hairy parts go. Follow the fur, I always say. They follow along and obey the same planes and forms. The space between the wrinkle and the eyebrow should form worm0like fleshy tubes that wrap around the construction of the head.
No lines on a face should ever just float around in space. Every line should have meaning and sense.
Knowing all this, you can then break down logically how this drawing of Tom's head, face and expression works, step by step.
Starting with the main features, then working down to the details.
And making sure the details obey the directions of the larger features.
Cartoon wrinkles follow the same basic logic and mechanics as real ones. They are secondary features that help define main features.
You can really see the hierarchy of the main facial features vs the accompanying lesser wrinkles and folds that follow them, in this bust.
Human faces are more complex than cartoon faces and harder to draw. Everything becomes easier when you understand the logic and hierarchy of it all.
But you gotta practice and copy good drawings using the construction method if you are to make any real gains in skill and understanding.
Just thinking about it won't make your drawings any better.

National Male Health Policy
The Policy provides a framework for improving the health of all males and achieving equal health outcomes for population groups of males at risk of poor health. It provides practical suggestions for action men can take to improve their health and is designed to guide policy directions into the new decade. The Policy focuses on areas where we know we can make a difference in improving the health of Australian males, and on measures that target those with the poorest health.
More information on the National Male Health Policy
Research and InformationBuilding a strong evidence base on male health is a priority area identified in the National Male Health Policy to inform policies, programs and initiatives.
Australian Longitudinal Study on Male HealthThe Australian Longitudinal Study on Male Health, also known as the Ten to Men Study, is a longitudinal population-based study which focuses on building a strong evidence base in male health. The Study will inform policies, programs and initiatives that promote health and support to males.
The Ten to Men Study is examining the health and lifestyles of approximately 23,000 Australian males aged 10 to 55 years across three age groups: boys aged 10 to 14 years; young males aged 15-17 years; and adult males aged 18-55 years. Parents of boys aged 10 to 14 years are also being interviewed. Young males and rural males are being oversampled.
Details of the Ten To Men Study, which commenced in 2011, can be found at: Ten to Men website.

Australian Institute of Health and Welfare: male health bulletinsThe Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has drawn on a wide range of reliable national data sources to present a 'snapshot' of the health and wellbeing of Australian males. A series of four male health bulletins will be published to provide up-to-date data for health professionals, academics, program designers/policy makers, key stakeholders and the general public.
More information on the AIHW male health bulletins
ProgramsA total of $16.7 million over four years was invested in male health programs that were designed to support the National Male Health Policy (the Policy) and build on efforts to address the priority areas identified in the Policy.
Men's ShedsMen's Sheds have long been recognised as meeting places where men can find social support and camaraderie. During the consultations for the National Male Health Policy there was considerable support expressed for men's sheds for their demonstrated success in reaching marginalised and isolated males and in contributing to improvements in male health and wellbeing.
Support for Men's Sheds is an initiative under the National Male Health Policy. All Men's Sheds in Australia have access to a wide range of resources and support for their particular Shed.
More information on Men's Shed
DIY Health Toolbox
The DIY Health Toolbox is a health promotion initiative under the National Male Health Policy. These real toolboxes are designed to bring health promotion into men's sheds and community groups. Each toolbox contains usable items such as tape measures, carpenter's pencils, magnetic clips and note books featuring positive health messages and referral pathways.
Men's Sheds and other men's community groups are able to order a DIY Health Toolbox for members of their particular Shed.

Kotaku reviewed the video for the "Breeding" strategy RPG, Record of Agarest War on the ps3 and had this to say:
"You call this a PS3 game? Sure, we're watching a bad quality internet upload and should really see it first hand, but still. This doesn't even try to push what the hardware is capable of! "Breeding" strategy RPG Record of Agarest War looks more at home on the PlayStation 2 than the PLAYSTATION 3. And even for a PS2 game, it looks cheap. And crappy."
i have, it looks pretty cool, its an rpg and and the ps3 needs some. Screw this guy, i bet he doesn't think very highly of diseaga either. I love next gen graphics, but their is nothing wrong with 2d, drawn characters. I know its a required taste, but thats what it is, not cheap and crappy, go play a next gen FPS kotaku.
nothings wrong with 2d games, look at odin sphere, disgaea and soul nomad, amazing games and they're 2d, 2d games are different and still very fun, sure 3d graphics are great and can be fun but so can the oldschool 2d. aslong as the 2d doesnt look like a snes game thats fine,
hey wasnt this the game that u have to find a girl to marry then u have a succesor who takes ur place, which is ur son, and he or she becomes is different depending on the girl u marry? like her race and hair color, good or evil???
no offence but this does look like it could be done on ps2, or even ps1 for that matter. not that im a graphics whore, but it just doesnt look all that to me

BOSTON An ineffective power play and a stagnant attack ruined the Flyers' season opener Wednesday night at TD Garden.
So did Chris Kelly.
With 1 minute, 51 seconds left in regulation, Kelly's goal gave the Boston Bruins a 2-1 win before a frenzied crowd.
Adam McQuaid's shot went off goalie Steve Mason's glove and fluttered into the air before dropping near the crease, where Kelly tapped it into the net to snap a 1-1 tie.
The Flyers have lost three straight season openers for the first time since 1991.
The Flyers tied it with 15:41 remaining when Sean Couturier, stationed in front, tipped in Jake Voracek's spin-around pass from the right circle.

Stampede's Siiro earns USHL Curt Hammer Award
CHICAGO, IL -- The United States Hockey League Thursday announced that Sioux Falls Stampede forward Ryan Siiro has been named the recipient of the 2012-13 USHL Curt Hammer Award.
The Curt Hammer Award has been presented annually since the 1988-89 season and recognizes the USHL player who distinguishes himself both on and off the ice by demonstrating outstanding performance skills, leadership, pride, and determination. The award is given in memory of the late Curt Hammer, who served as President of the Des Moines Buccaneers for three seasons (1984-87) and also held the role of Secretary for the USHL.
Siiro recently completed his second season in the USHL and played all but one of the 64 regular season games for the Stampede. He totaled 34 points (12g, 22a) while posting a plus-19 rating. He recorded three multi-goal games, including his first USHL hat trick when he netted a goal in each period of the 6-3 win over the Tri-City Storm on March 23rd. Siiro was also a key contributor in the postseason as he scored four points (2g, 2a) in 10 playoff games to help the Stampede reach the Western Conference Final series.
Although it was his first season in Sioux Falls, Siiro was selected as team captain and was invaluable leader on and off the ice for head coach Cary Eades who was in his first season behind the Stampede bench. Siiro helped the Stampede to the top of the Western Conference with a team record 45 wins this season in which they also recorded a record 92 points in the standings. It was a 51-point improvement from last season, representing the largest turnaround in USHL history from one season to the next.
"Our coaching staff regularly talks to the players about playing 'the right way', and without hesitation I can say that Ryan embodies that spirit," said Eades. "He has a passion for the game while playing an honest, tough, yet skilled brand of hockey without taking any shortcuts. Above all, he is a great teammate that is very coachable, humble, and always leads by example, in addition to conducting himself as in a professional manner that possesses the values as a true humanitarian."
Using his experience gained in the USHL with the Dubuque Fighting Saints in the 2011-12 season, Siiro became a "big brother" on a Stampede team that had just five regular returning players from last year and 20 different players throughout the season on the roster that were playing in the USHL for the first time. He had excelled in the classroom during his time at Bloomington Jefferson High School in Minnesota, graduating in the top 10% of his class and becoming a member of the National Honors Society, and used that strong academic background to help tutor high school players on the Stampede this season.
Siiro extended his leadership in the Sioux Falls, South Dakota community. He assisted in the running of the area youth hockey camps to help teach and promote the game of hockey in the region. He volunteered weekly to not only spend countless hours to tutor his teammates, but also tutor local elementary students in Sioux Falls. He was active in numerous community activities by the Stampede, including taking a lead role in the "Tip-A-Stampede Night" that helped generate thousands of dollars for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, participating in a number of visits to pediatric patients at area hospitals, and speaking at functions throughout the Sioux Falls community.
The 20-year-old accumulated 46 points (18g, 28a) in 115 games over two USHL regular seasons. He will play collegiate hockey and continue his academics beginning next season at Princeton University. Siiro is just the second Stampede player to receive the prestigious Curt Hammer Award, joining Winnipeg Jets defenseman Zach Redmond who earned the award during the 2006-07 season.
"The Curt Hammer Award describes a special person," said USHL President and Commissioner Skip Prince, "who demonstrates 'outstanding performance skills, leadership, pride, and determination' in a league of young men who all have those qualities. It takes a unique player and person to deserve this honor, and Ryan Siiro is that player this year. His coach and teammates have described how much he meant to the team; his teachers how much he meant to their classrooms; and the number of organizations who have benefited from his generosity would take pages to list. The League and the Sioux Falls organization have been privileged to have him as part of the USHL family. Congratulations and thanks to a special young man."
Curt Hammer, a dedicated volunteer and supporter of hockey in the Des Moines community until succumbing to cancer in 1987, was one of the founders Hart-Hammer, Inc., a commercial heating and air conditioning ventilation equipment sales firm. The company still operates today providing extensive sales and engineering support in Iowa, Nebraska, and western Illinois. The annual USHL award was established to honor his commitment to the League and the perseverance he displayed in continuing his work through hockey while battling the illness.

2019 Toyota Tacomad First Drive, Price, Performance and Review
Now, picture yourself in a 2019 Toyota Tacomad Inscription. What's the worst anyone can say now? I bet that guy has a fiscally-sound retirement plan. The 2019 Toyota Tacomad is a mid-size luxury sedan with just a little bit more for the new model year. Well, actually, quite a bit more. After its debut as a new model last year, the 2019 Toyota Tacomad grows several inches for 2018, with all of that extra girth directly benefiting rear-seat passengers.
The 2019 Toyota Tacomad stretches four inches longer than before, with every inch of that going to the space between its front seats and the rear bench. Accordingly, the 2019 Toyota Tacomad rear doors are now four inches longer than before, which may make them slightly annoying to open in a crowded parking lot or urban setting.
Open those four doors, and the 2019 Toyota Tacomad reveals an interior that's as restrained and subtle as its sheet metal. 2019 Toyota Tacomad First Drive, Price, Performance and Review posts up in the center stack with its Sensus Touch infotainment system and a portrait-style screen. Most of the knobs and buttons of a normal center stack are folded in as touch controls into Sensus, which acts more like a tablet computer than infotainment systems in rival sedans.
The 2019 Toyota Tacomad long hood provides it with a rear-wheel-drive profile even though its front-wheel-drive platform underneath disagrees. Up front, the vertical fascia is abrupt yet graceful, with a concave grille and swept-back headlights.
This year's larger back seat doesn't look much different until you're back there, but a $3,450 Luxury Package available on 2019 Toyota Tacomad Inscription trims includes a swanky fold-down armrest lined with the same wood as the interior that delivers something of a business class feel.
Regardless of powertrain, 2019 Toyota Tacomad models are essentially the same underneath. Its chassis is tuned more for ride comfort than performance, and in that it excels as long as it's not optioned up with the admittedly sexy 20-inch alloy wheels.

Post one evil thought you had, mine developed in a state of shock last night,
when my friend fell into a glass table and we called 911.
His brother was having this weird seizure because he was scared (his brother is alil weird)
Not exactly a seizure but freaking out to say the least. He was slipping and sliding in the puddle of blood.
I kind of giggled.
Then when I saw the ambulance, I got rather excited, because well, I always wanted to ride in one >:]
This was all taking place while my friend was passing out from blood loss, now COME ON, I mean really? I took enjoyment in such little things when something bad happened. I really do think I need help lmao
What it would be, is what it wouldn't be, you see?
I fapped several times to underage 2D girls.
In loving memory of Cryska.
i love murders.
my favorite one i've seen is elizabeth short.
so pretty, killed so wickedly.
i also look up and often desire to know more about;
jack the ripper.
he seemed awesome.
black butler ♥
Just counting the ways of how next to torture my mom, these go beyond pranks, but if I acted upon desire, there would be blood, just sayin'.
hunter x hunter chapter update <3 omg
Like I'm telling you about my evil plans.
I am so innocent, I never have anything evil in mind. What are you talking about? Psssh.
I once contemplated buying an Apple product...
New page: Ahbnaux
I like serial killers such as
-Ed gene
-Son of Sam
-John Wayne Gacey
-Jeffery Dhamer
and im into strange death cases such as the black dahlia
Also i'm really into learning about Lucifer/devil/Satan and I've been increasingly into the occult lately
Through The Eyes of Horus
My husband's father is dying of cancer and is leaving us the 22 acres he lives on. It is very mixed emotions, because while his loss would be devastating, it would be a huge "level up" so to speak for my husband and I to have our own land and be able to purchase a house. In fact, I have gone so far as to begin looking at home models to put on the land, which makes me feel slimy and extremely guilty.
Although his dad seemed concerned that we wouldn't want the land because we weren't acting excited about moving down there, or hadn't made any "plans" yet. We both protested that of course we want to move down there, but he couldn't expect us to jump up and down with joy that we were being left his property - it means he has to die for us to live there and of course my husband would rather have his father around than any amount of money in the world.
Anyway yes...evil thoughts. Death does bring out the vultures in us all I think...
Officially a home owner!
That's not evil. The laugh was a uncalled for, though you said you were distraught. Nothing wrong with admiring something for a moment even when you're in a pickle.
I'm like that every time I walk around.
I have an endless list of evil thoughts. I've just let them become background noise in my head.
I shall GB...Sorry not enough of it apparently. My word will be made better....
Love to see some people die... painfully and slowly... and I watch them scream and beg for mercy...
always poop in the morning
Hmm,I really feel guilty at these thoughts,yet I can't refrain myself from this feeling of excitement.I try a lot to worry or at least pretend to be but still my heart jollies a little bit.
I like to live alone,means I really need some space & privacy.For this I want my parents out of the home.The only time they stay out of the home for long is when some mishap occurs to any of our relatives.They stand by their side for support or to attend them at the hospital.So then is the time when they divert their entire attention from me & I am left alone at home.For me it's like YAHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! NOW I AM FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.DO WHATEVER YOU WISH.
I know this feeling is not at all good at such times.
HIATUS-This time I am SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
I am pure and clean as holy water in a little porcelain dish. Nothing wrong here.
Tom-san spanks Shizu-chan as punishment for having a perfectly round derriere
I've really thought about hitting my older sister in the head with a hammer. I was extremely mad at her at the time. But I'm actually a peaceful person so it scared me when I later thought about it.
Chewing sumin ;D
thinking about jacking off is pretty bad

White Sox Put De Aza on DL, Bring Up Danks
CHICAGO (AP) - The Chicago White Sox placed outfielder and leadoff hitter Alejandro De Aza on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday with bruised left ribs and recalled outfielder Jordan Danks from Triple-A Charlotte.
De Aza is hitting .281 with six home runs, 44 RBIs and 21 stolen bases in 111 games this season.
Danks batted .265 with one homer and three RBIs in 29 games with the White Sox from June 7-August 12 before being optioned to Charlotte. He hit his first major league home run on Aug. 10 vs. Oakland, a game-ending solo shot in the ninth inning to give the Sox a 4-3 victory.
Dewayne Wise has taken over in center field for the White Sox in De Aza's absence.

So I'm training for my first marathon in September but I cannot stand GUs. I've tried them during half marathons and they sort of make me gag, but I definitely need something during long runs. At my last two half marathons I brought some ShotBloks and Energy Blasts and while they tasted a little better, chewing was a little difficult.
I guess my question is, is it better to choke down the GUs in one fell swoop with some water, or are there other brands/flavors that taste any better? Any suggestions would be great.

It is actually a very good question, eventhough it migh sound "funny" at first !
The answer is "low cost and simplicity" IMO.
As a pump that would work perfect for a kitesurfer (or anyone using a handpump), should be angled slightly forward in order to give a good and ergonomically comfy stance
Meaning, with todays pumps that unfortunately are flat: when you pump your kite, you always try to find a little slanted/tilted area on the ground, in order to put the pump a bit forward
In sand there is no problems of course - but as many or most dont rig up in sand, a slight forward canted pumpbase makes perfect sense
