story (or any posting) needs:

a beginning;
a middle;
an end;

I just recently read that a good Preacher should follow a similar
structu

A Good beginning
A Good ending
And as little as possible in the middle

Oh well !!!

I'm a part-time GED teacher. Writing is one of the most difficult
GED tests as it is not multiple choice. We teach the following
format for the writing test.

A beginning - a one paragraph statement of a principle or premise
A middle - three paragraphs based on three major points of argument
An end - A one paragraph conclusion summarizing the three points

The people in Austin who grade the GED writing tests like that format.

What's a "GED"... when translated into English? :-)

Yet another version of 1-2-3:
1. Tell 'em what you're going to tell 'em.
2. Then tell 'em.
3. Tell 'em what you've told 'em.

Sorry, that's a USA term - stands for General Education Development.
It's a high school equivalency certificate issued by the state, after
passing a battery of 5 exams, to people who didn't graduate from high
school for whatever reason.

Thank you - and well done, Cecil, for being part of that program.

There's a fringe benefit. Some of those kids have pretty

Do you teach them to spell "incorrigible"?

hmm this kinda makes me wonder about my tvi

as my antenna is near the building master tv antenna

which is pretty rusty espically on the coax to antenna lugs never saw so
much rust surpirzed i can see any station

and it's missing a few elements that broke off

i've been afraid to change it since a new antenna just might be worse
then again it could be much better

wish there was a way to test if the interference was strictly due to
proximity/master amp or tv overload etc or 'sperious emissions' caused
by the tv antennas rust

i need a rust spurious emissions meter

Mmmmm Bad sign from the beginning. This opens up a large possibility box.
