and can anyone lend me one?
Apparently, when applying to US universities, they expect your statement of teaching interests / experience to include this thing...
Errrrrrrrr?
Is this something along the lines of 'the over-arching principle that underpins the way I teach is to equip students with not just the knowledge but the skills they need to complete the course I am teaching and progress to more advanced work in the future' ?
Or something different?

Who would you give a "Corporate ASBO" at your work and why?
Me:
The person who cooked (not re-heated!) a jacket potato for 10 minutes in one of the two microwaves provided for 200 employees. Mind you, not everyone brings in their own lunch but it gets pretty busy at lunchtime and there's often a queue forming around 1 o'clock.

So it just occurred to me that we're coming up on the end of the decade. You know what that means: the media will start having a bunch of top 10 lists looking back at the oughts, or the naughts, or the 00s or the 2000s or whatever this decade will be called.
So what's your top (or bottom) ten (or more or less) of the decade? It can be personal events or favorite TV shows, or whatever. Extra credit for a TT related list.

Would I be mad to buy a place on the river?
I'm lusting after this place : http://www.frances-immobilier.fr/index.php?option=immostoredetail&indicedubien=45&total=58&descriptif=1282MO-2061P-Villa%20de%20standing-,-PRAYSSAC
I've seen another on the river too. Last time the river burst it's banks was 2003 through human error (problem with not opening the barrier on time) before that it was the 1920's.
I love the idea of being by the river, but everybody I mention it to goes on about flooding and climate change.

Lets face it, most of us are struggling this year. Finding cheer when you're without is very hard and holiday season is generally the time of the year most people feel greater stress and despair.
This isn't about making things out of found objects for gifts or sending cards instead. This is about keeping cheer and hope and optimism that the future.
So let's start spreading good will and cheer now, We need a little Christmas

Basically I am pretty broke right now, after buying the flat and moving, and needing a million little things I didn't think about. Not broke in the sense of "I don't know how to pay mortgage or eat" but broke in the sense of "no extra spending that are not necessary for a few months". I will also start saving up for a longer trip to India from January onwards, and to make this happen I just have to tighten the belt. This isn't something that bothers me a lot BTW, it will be so worth it! Additional to that I won't have many holidays left after I deducted the one I need for India in 2010.
Friend called me a few weeks ago and asked if I want to come for a long weekend to Dublin with her. Said I love to, but have no holiday left and no money right now, and that this won't change soon. Then got another email asking if I want to join her going to Italy in January for a long weekend. My r...

Running the washing machine with a full tub of laundry is NO fun when the water supply suddenly dwindles to a trickle. I feel as though I've spent half the afternoon emptying buckets of water into the machine!

Due to my stock of opaque black and brown tights having vanished due to a combination of laundry mixing and me moving, I am now wearing a pair of navy blue 'supersoft' wooly tights, probably dating back to about 1990 (when I wore them to school).
They are very nice and cosy.
Goes without saying I don't have much spare cash to buy extra stocks of tights at this time... At least I have plenty of socks!

Australia Network shows a number of shows from home, including Australian Story.
Tonight they showed And then we were six . While the foster mum must be amazing to take on so many children, it left me feeling terribly sad.
How can our society let things like this happen? I know we can't sterilize people (not that I would ever advocate that) but surely there has to be a way to prevent situations like this? It all feels a little hopeless.
I'm trying to find out the price of a train ticket from Amsterdam to Brussels, on December 7th, but the site keeps shouting something at me in Dutch.
Would someone be kind enough to help? Ta.
