Implementing restorative justice: A guide for schools
Recently, the Illinois Criminal Justice Authority released the guide Implementing Restorative Justice: A guide for Schools as part of a series of resources created to help with the statewide implementation of restorative justice for working with young offenders. Developed with assistance from juvenile justice practitioners and school personnel, it provides guidance for implementing policy and practice in both elementary and secondary schools. The goals of the guide include:
- Introduce to school personnel the concepts of restorative justice and restorative discipline.
- Offer new tools that can reduce the need for school exclusion and juvenile justice system involvement in school misconduct.
- Offer ways to enhance the school environment to prevent conflict and restore relationships after conflict arises.

I browse eBay looking at Customs for sale, not to buy but see what others are coming up with. Some times the small details improve the figure so much, nothing else needs to be done to it! Clearly Toybiz tried, but failed to give Bishop his long wavy locks and 41johnson saw Bishop looking a bit better without them. Much improvement I think! I don't know who 41johnson is, but I thought it was worth pointing out.

Lt. Dan Choi spoke at Cal State Northridge Tuesday night for National Coming Out Day. Wow. Wow. Wow. His speech took us from the Triangle of Death in Iraq to his parents' home in Orange County, California and back again, through his falling in love for the first time at age 27 to his split with his Southern Baptist parents; heart wrenching stories, witty asides, skillful humor and pop culture references aligned alongside the poetry of al-Mutanabbi and quotations from the Bible and Christian scholars, giving the audience a full look at Dan's life during and after his coming out, his experiences under Don't Ask Don't Tell and since its repeal, as well as orating with beauty and grace the reasons for coming out as LGBT. Or as a straight ally.
I was typing as fast as could–no video was allowed, though CSPAN did record the event. The president of CSUN's Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Alliance, Hugo Valencia introduced Lt. Choi. A private first class in the National Guard who joined at 17, Hugo who stood proudly on stage last night in his uniform, came out when DADT was repealed.
Lt Choi began his speech by telling us that he was proud to stand before us in his uniform
to tell all of you this uniform is now the uniform of all Americans.
He also honored the memory of activist Frank Kameny, who served in World War II and led the fight for gay rights since the early 1960s, who died yesterday, but lived to see the repeal of DADT.
Lt. Choi's wry exhortation to the non-LGBT in the audience was met with laughter and applause: [cont'd.]
It's is time for all you straight people to come out as allies. Gays wouldn't be here if it weren't for heterosexuals. You literally gave birth to us!
Lt. Choi's skill as an orator and his roots in the Southern Baptist Church (his father is a minister who started several congregations and worked as missionary) shone as he took us through the six months he spent living with his parents after coming out, his father repeatedly telling him that homosexuality was the number one sin. Lt. Choi countered with:
Love they neighbor as thyself. Love they neighbor as you love yourself. Gay people are blessed to be able to show how important love is…
Honor thy father and mother, honor them by telling them the truth, do not bear false witness…I am not going to let someone I love die being a homophobe. Love them to teach them. Under all that hatred is a loving spirit.
Lt. Choi then lead us in a powerful call and response:
I am somebody! I am somebody! I am somebody! I deserve full equality! Now!
and referenced the Occupy movement as an example of people who are standing up and saying
I am somebody!
After his speech, Lt. Choi took questions from the audience, responding to one
Prince William invited his best friend from his unit to his wedding. His best friend who is transgendered and undergoing gender reassignment paid for by the British armed forces…I am queer inclusive. That is what America fights for, freedom and justice. Yes, I am a queer activist. I learned as an activist why I fought. These skills are transferable. My being a soldier has made me a better activist, and my being an activist has made me a better soldier.
At the reception afterwards, Lt. Choi spoke with students and faculty members, posed for photos with veterans and active members who attend CSUN, as well as with members of Gamma Rho Lambda, the campus' queer sorority.
This was one of the most inspirational and profound speeches I have ever heard. As soon as I get the link from CSPAN I will post it up.

Franklin County School Principal Eric Bidwell pulled no punches in a detailed report to the school board last week as to why the district's kindergarten through 12th grade school earned a D grade, and what the administration and faculty plan to do about it.
"I knew exactly what it was going to be," Bidwell told school board members at their regular meeting Jan. 9, responding to some board members' surprise the school's grade had fallen for the second year in a row after a B in 2010-11. "We should never be surprised by the school grade. We should know where a kid's going to land within a few points.
"This is where we need it to be to start this new (process)," he said. "I don't like being a D school. That school is going to be a B or an A school and it's going to stay that way. If you don't change the way we do it day to day, it's going to take a little bit longer. And we're going to change the culture here."
Bidwell shared a six-page report with the school board that addressed the factors that led to the school tallying 915 points, 10 shy of a C.
"We're not arguing with the score," he said. "We want the public to know here we're struggling.
"I want kids at the school to perform at the school the way they should be performing. I'm not trying to eke out a point here, a point there. What breaks my heart is the performance of our students."
Bidwell told the board that assessment components, largely dependent on standardized testing, account for 80 percent of the school grade. All told, the district earned 504 out of a possible 900 assessment points.
The reason for this low point total is that just 44 percent of students were at grade level or better in reading, with a slightly higher percentage, 51 percent, at grade level or better in math. The lowest percentage at grade level or better was in writing, 40 percent, while the highest was in science, at 54 percent.
When it came to points assessed for learning gains overall, the school received 68 out of 100 points for math gains, and 56 points for reading gains. The data also showed that when it came to the lowest performing 25 percent of students, reading gains accounted for 57 out of 100 points, and math gains 56 points.
"Those are scary; we have a lot of work to do," Bidwell said. "We're not pointing at any grade level, it's across the school. Everybody can improve their efficiency. We all can."
The principal noted that one bright spot was how well students enrolled in accelerated classes were performing, as measured by end-of-year course exams and other data. The school earned 43 out of 50 points for middle school students, and 107 out of 150 points for high school.
But, he noted, when it came to the numbers of middle and high school students enrolled in such accelerated courses, or dual enrolled in community college courses, the numbers were less impressive, with the school earning only 35 of 50 points for middle school participation, and 44 out of 150 points for high school participation.
Bidwell said the remaining 20 percent of the school's grade depended on a variety of other components, such as graduation rate and college readiness, and these results did little to improve the school's grade.
Fewer than two-thirds of high school freshman graduate, even after five years of high school, and for those students who are considered by the state to be "at risk," the numbers were little better.
"The graduation rate is alarming to me," said Bidwell. "Luckily that's only 20 percent of our grade."
In terms of the measurement for college readiness in reading, the school collected a respectable 71 out of 100 points. But in terms of math readiness, the number was a dismal 27 out of 100.
'You have to weigh the social factors as well'
School board member George Thompson asked Bidwell why it was students were not earning high school diplomas, and Bidwell said it was a variety of factors, including economic factors, inability to pass the required FCAT exam and even the program offerings of the school.
"We need to do a better job on checking on the interest of students," he said, noting that having a Jr. ROTC program, or courses in small engine repair, might enable the school to hold on to more students through to graduation.
"Somebody ought to be able to have a list of names (of these students) and go down the list. Has anyone thought about doing that?" suggested School Board Chair Jimmy Gander. "It seems if you have the names, you could sit them down with five or six staff members, and identify what happened to that 36 percent" who didn't graduate.
Bidwell said the school is aware now of several students who won't receive their diplomas because of their inability to pass the required FCAT standardized test. He noted that the district would have received 10 bonus points, enough to secure a C grade, had at least half of the students who failed the FCAT the first time passed it on a subsequent attempt.
But they did not, and thus the school earned none of these points. "We got zero," Bidwell said. "There's no middle ground.
"Right now we have a high number of students who at this point of the year are not ready to graduate," he said. "And we do have a lot of students who drop out once they reach 16."
Gander said he would like to see statistics on the percentage of students who go on to earn their GED. "Are we losing half these kids when they're seniors? This is the year to concentrate on saving them," he said.
"Are we promoting students who shouldn't be promoted?" asked Thompson.
Bidwell said questions need to be asked about the rigor of earlier school preparation. "There's always stuff like that going on," he said. "Low performers, they're struggling. You have to weigh the social factors as well."
Gander said the school board had acted on a request from the past administration to hire math and reading coaches, but it had not had the desired result. "A lot of times we just do the same things," he said. "I'm wondering if that's where the bodies need to be."
Bidwell said hiring of coaches in reading and math was necessary. "Academic coaches are money well spent," he said.
School Board member Pam Shiver said she appreciated the proactive approach being taken by the administration, and wondered about the effect on advanced placement offerings. "I was a little concerned," she said. "If we're going have an AP course, will we be able to broaden them?
"We have quite a large number of students who are dual enrolled. To me dual enrollment is a win-win," she said. "Some of those numbers are alarming and that's something we want to work on."
Questioned about why the grade had risen when the state stepped in to help a few years ago, and fallen since then, Superintendent Nina Marks said the successor to Nikolai Vitti, the state advisor who is now superintendent of schools in Duval County, had not been as vigilant.
"The next person who came in behind him did not have the same level of commitment that he did," said Marks. "The level of commitment can't just come from people in the front office; it has to come across the board."
Bidwell stressed to the board that he has talked to parents about upcoming changes, and promised that things would get better.
"We need to let people know that what we've done in the past is not going to cut it," he said. "It's going to raise people's eyebrows. I had some conversation with parents and I showed them everything.
"I'm on annual contract if we don't perform than you know what to do," he told school board members. "I'm telling you it's going to improve.
"We have those babies longer than those parents do," he said. "There's no excuse for not knowing every strength and every weakness they have. We're not going to make excuses; they're going to make the gains and achieve the scores they should achieve."
County Attorney Barbara Sanders asked about teacher evaluations, which state data in 2011-12 showed that 31 of the 96 teachers in the district were not evaluated, and that of the remainder, four were deemed highly effective, 19 were effective and 42 needed improvement.
"Are we going to have real evaluations this year?" Sanders asked.
"If not I'm going home," replied Bidwell.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, November 24, 3:30 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Floyd Stadium (31,000) -- Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Television: ESPN3.com. Home Record: Troy 2-4, MTSU 2-2. Away Record: Troy 3-2, MTSU 5-1. Neutral Record: Troy 0-0, MTSU 0-0. Conference Record: Troy 3-4, MTSU 5-1. Series Record: Middle Tennessee leads, 11-8.
GAME NOTES: The Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders will try to continue their quest towards a Sun Belt Conference championship on Saturday afternoon when they host the Troy Trojans.
Despite having just one win in its past three games, Troy has shown a lot of promise in recent weeks, with tough losses at Tennessee (55-48) and at home against first-place Arkansas State (41-34), with a solid non-conference win over Navy (41-31) sandwiched in between. The Trojans need a win in this matchup to become bowl eligible.
It wasn't Middle Tennessee's best effort, but it escaped a road date against South Alabama last week with a 20-12 victory, giving it five road wins on the season. The Blue Raiders control their own destiny in the conference, as they have a bout on the road next week against Arkansas State, which also has just one loss in Sun Belt play.
Middle Tennessee holds an 11-8 advantage over Troy in the all-time series, which includes an 8-4 mark in Murfreesboro.
Troy has the most potent offense in the Sun Belt when it comes to putting up yards (501.2 ypg), but in terms of scoring (31.5 ppg), it still ranks behind Louisiana, Arkansas State and ULM.
Corey Robinson has put together another stellar season under center, as he is completing 66.6 percent of his passes for a conference-best 2,938 yards. Despite the yardage however, Robinson ranks ninth in the league in touchdown passes (11) and has thrown eight interceptions. Backup quarterback Deon Anthony is often utilized, and he has made the most of his snaps with 15 total touchdowns (eight passing, seven rushing).
Chip Reeves is the team-leader in receptions with 61 and he's the only player in the conference to reach 1,000 yards receiving at this point in the season (1,034). He caught six passes for 142 yards and a touchdown last week, his sixth score of the year. Eric Thomas (637 yards, six TDs) and Chandler Worthy (517 yards, two TDs) are also reliable targets for the QBs.
Shawn Southward has 100 more carries than anyone else on the team and he's taken advantage of the workload with 896 yards and 10 touchdowns. He's also a reliable receiver out of the backfield with 38 receptions for 308 yards.
The Trojans have been on the wrong end of several shootouts this season thanks to an under-performing defensive unit (31.1 ppg, 454.1 ypg).
The defense has made just five interceptions on the season, led by a pair from Brynden Trawick, who's also the team's leading tackler (81). It also has difficultly getting after the quarterback with only 13 sacks, with three coming from Tony Davis.
Last week's sluggish 20-point effort against South Alabama was more the exception rather than the rule for the Middle Tennessee offense, which is averaging just under 30 ppg on the season.
Logan Kilgore has done a great job managing the offense, as he's among the conference leaders in completion percentage (.656) and efficiency rating (152.2). He has thrown for 228.1 ypg, 16 touchdowns, and just four picks.
The Blue Raiders lost their dynamic running back Benjamin Cunningham (600 yards, 11 TDs) after just five games, but freshman Jordan Parker (637 yards, two TDs) has filled in admirably. Parker rushed for a career-high 154 yards a week ago.
Anthony Amos has been one of the most trusted receivers in the league, as he ranks third in both catches (63) and yards (929), while tying for first in receiving touchdowns (nine).
The MT defense (27.0 ppg, 430.6 ypg) has been up-and-down all year, but it showed up in a big way last week by allowing just 338 yards of offense on the road.
Jajuan Harley is the reigning Sun Belt Conference Player of the Week after recording five tackles, forcing a fumble, and picking off two passes, giving him three interceptions on the season. Craig Allen leads the team with 75 tackles.
Troy has been a very competitive team this season and it'll have extra motivation in the finale as it tries to earn bowl eligibility, but Middle Tennessee is one of the most well-balanced teams in the conference. The Blue Raiders have their eyes on a potential conference crown, and that should be all the motivation they need.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Middle Tennessee 34, Troy 31

Problem - half the Basingstoke services were cancelled, and the other half were delayed. The train I got eventually left Waterloo just under an hour late.
Arrive at Basingstoke. Next train to Axminster - 2hrs.
Went to Basingstoke bus station to see if there was a bus service. Nope.
Back at the station, the train was due only 30 mins later, so not too bad.
Eventually announced platform 2, first three carriages only for Axminster. We all shuffle up to the right place.

Pink eye (conjunctivitis) is an inflammation or infection of the transparent membrane (conjunctiva) that lines your eyelid and covers the white part of your eyeball. When small blood vessels in the conjunctiva become inflamed, they're more visible. This is what causes the whites of your eyes to appear reddish or pink.
Pink eye is commonly caused by a bacterial or viral infection, an allergic reaction, or — in babies — an incompletely opened tear duct.
Though pink eye can be irritating, it rarely affects your vision. Treatments can help ease the discomfort of pink eye. Because pink eye can be contagious, early diagnosis and treatment can help limit its spread.
The most common pink eye symptoms include:
Make an appointment with your doctor if you notice any signs or symptoms you think might be pink eye. Pink eye can be highly contagious for as long as two weeks after signs and symptoms begin. Early diagnosis and treatment can protect people around you from getting pink eye too.
People who wear contact lenses need to stop wearing their contacts as soon as pink eye symptoms begin. If your symptoms don't start to get better within 12 to 24 hours, make an appointment with your eye doctor to make sure you don't have a more serious eye infection related to contact lens use.
In addition, there are other serious eye conditions that can cause eye redness. Typically, these conditions will also cause pain and blurred vision. If you experience these symptoms, seek urgent care.
Causes of pink eye include:
Viral conjunctivitis and bacterial conjunctivitis may affect one or both eyes. Viral conjunctivitis usually produces a watery discharge. Bacterial conjunctivitis often produces a thicker, yellow-green discharge. Both viral and bacterial conjunctivitis can be associated with colds or with symptoms of a respiratory infection, such as a sore throat.
Both viral and bacterial types are very contagious. They are spread through direct or indirect contact with the eye secretions of someone who's infected.
Adults and children alike can develop both of these types of pink eye. However, bacterial conjunctivitis is more common in children than it is in adults.
Allergic conjunctivitis affects both eyes and is a response to an allergy-causing substance such as pollen. In response to allergens, your body produces an antibody called immunoglobulin E (IgE). This antibody triggers special cells called mast cells in the mucous lining of your eyes and airways to release inflammatory substances, including histamines. Your body's release of histamine can produce a number of allergy signs and symptoms, including red or pink eyes.
If you have allergic conjunctivitis, you may experience intense itching, tearing and inflammation of the eyes — as well as sneezing and watery nasal discharge. Most allergic conjunctivitis can be controlled with allergy eyedrops.
Irritation from a chemical splash or foreign object in your eye is also associated with conjunctivitis. Sometimes flushing and cleaning the eye to rid it of the chemical or object causes redness and irritation. Signs and symptoms, which may include watery eyes and a mucous discharge, usually clear up on their own within about a day.
Risk factors for pink eye include:
In both children and adults, pink eye can cause inflammation in the cornea that can affect vision. Prompt evaluation and treatment by your doctor can reduce the risk of complications.
Start by seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner if you have any eye-related signs or symptoms that worry you. If your signs and symptoms persist or get worse, despite treatment, your doctor may refer you to an eye specialist (ophthalmologist).
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared for your appointment. Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment and what to expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For pink eye, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask additional questions.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may allow time later to cover points you want to address. Your doctor may ask:
Stop using contact lenses until you can see your doctor. Wash your hands frequently to lessen the chance of infecting other people. Don't share towels with other people for the same reason.
To determine whether you have pink eye, your doctor will examine your eyes. Your doctor may also take a sample of eye secretions from your conjunctiva for laboratory analysis if you have a very severe case of conjunctivitis, if your corneas are affected or if you've had repeated infections that aren't responding to treatment.
If your infection is bacterial, your doctor may prescribe antibiotic eyedrops as pink eye treatment, and the infection should go away within several days. Antibiotic eye ointment, in place of eyedrops, is sometimes prescribed for treating bacterial pink eye in children. An ointment is often easier to administer to an infant or young child than are eyedrops, though the ointment may blur vision for up to 20 minutes after application. With either form of medication, expect signs and symptoms to start getting better in a few days. Follow your doctor's instructions and use the antibiotics for the complete period prescribed to prevent recurrence of the infection.
There is no treatment for most cases of viral conjunctivitis. Instead, the virus needs time to run its course — up to two or three weeks. Viral conjunctivitis often begins in one eye and then infects the other eye within a few days. Your signs and symptoms should gradually clear on their own.
Antiviral medications may be an option if your doctor determines that your viral conjunctivitis is caused by the herpes simplex virus.
If the irritation is allergic conjunctivitis, your doctor may prescribe one of many different types of eyedrops for people with allergies. These may include medications that help control allergic reactions, such as antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers, or drugs that help control inflammation, such as decongestants, steroids and anti-inflammatory drops. You may also reduce the severity of your allergic conjunctivitis symptoms by avoiding whatever causes your allergies when possible.
To help you cope with the signs and symptoms of pink eye until it goes away, try to:
Practice good hygiene to control the spread of pink eye. For instance:
Although pink eye symptoms may resolve in three or four days, children with viral conjunctivitis may be contagious for a week or more. Children may return to school when they no longer experience tearing and matted eyes.
If your child has bacterial conjunctivitis, keep him or her away from school until after treatment is started. Most schools and child care facilities require that your child wait at least 24 hours after starting treatment before returning to school or child care. Check with your doctor if you have any questions about when your child can return to school or child care.
Newborns' eyes are susceptible to bacteria normally present in the mother's birth canal. These bacteria cause no symptoms in the mother. In rare cases, these bacteria can cause infants to develop a serious form of conjunctivitis known as ophthalmia neonatorum, which needs treatment without delay to preserve sight. That's why shortly after birth, an antibiotic ointment is applied to every newborn's eyes. The ointment helps prevent eye infection.

Rachel Ray Has No Idea What She's Talking About
How to Cook Perfect Bacon
Except for Rachel Ray, you generally won't find celebrity chefs expounding on the nuances of good bacon-frying technique. In fact, many folks probably remember learning how to cook bacon about the same time they learned how to boil water. Remove the battery from the smoke detector, heat up a pan, throw on the bacon, and keep flipping it until it is cooked. How hard could it be?
As a four-year veteran innkeeper of a busy bed and breakfast in Virginia, I can tell you that the line between a perfectly cooked strip of breakfast heaven and a sun-dried leather bootstrap crusted with creosote is not as wide as one might hope. Nothing will disappoint a bed and breakfast guest faster than pork in the form of a soggy, undercooked chewing-gum strip or a charcoal briquette flattened into a shape that vaguely resembles a meat product. Perfect bacon makes a perfect breakfast. A good innkeeper simply must know how to cook bacon. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Although I do not claim to be able to go toe-to-toe with Rachel Ray in a Food Network Cage Match (if such a thing existed—and, if it did, it would make the Food Network much more interesting), I respectfully submit that on the subject of cooking bacon, she should leave the instruction to the experts. For true "baconistas," this article will describe how to cook perfect bacon.
To reach bacon Nirvana, you will first need to acquire a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet that is large enough to allow an entire strip of bacon to lay completely flat. This is not a subject for debate. Forget the over-priced $120 non-stick waste of money you just bought at a gourmet kitchen outlet, and go to an antique store, flea market, or yard sale to find the perfect seasoned-by-decades-of-use cast-iron skillet for $40 or less. The benefits of cast-iron are too numerous to detail here. It will suffice to say that cast-iron imparts a "down-home" smoky flavor to the bacon, and allows for the application of steady and consistent heat. You will also need metal cooking tongs—the spring-loaded kind shaped like a "V," not the scissor-type tongs you find in Target's barbeque department. A fork just won't do.
Optionally, you might want to buy an antique cast-iron bacon press when you buy your cast-iron pan. A bacon press is simply a flat iron weight that you can put on top of your sizzling bacon to ensure even browning.
Selecting the Right Bacon
Not all bacon is created equal, and one cannot achieve perfectly-cooked bacon without first selecting the right product. When shopping for bacon, look for thick slices. Take the time to actually compare slice thickness among various brands because they all say "thick-sliced" whether they actually are or not. I typically use bacon slices that are consistently 1/8 inch thick, but 5/32 inch would be better. Avoid packages that advertise flavors or characteristics such as "maple," "smoked," "hickory," or similar adjectives, because these typically mean artificial flavor chemicals that really don't taste much like real "hickory" or "maple." In fact, you can mostly ignore the label and just focus on the meat. Many people (including Rachel Ray) regard very lean bacon as the best quality and worthy of higher prices. This simply is not true. Extremely lean bacon tends to burn or cook unevenly because it does not have enough fat to melt in the pan and properly aide the cooking process (you can alleviate this by adding more oil to the pan, but that defeats the purpose of getting lean bacon, doesn't it?). Extremely lean bacon also lacks the flavor and texture that the fat provides. Similarly, bacon that is nothing but fat is equally problematic because it tends to shrivel up once the fat has melted away. The best-cooking bacon has proportional segments of both meat and fat.
Cooking Technique
As with anything related to cookery, once the bacon is in the pan the two keys to success are time and temperature.
Here's the executive summary: low to medium heat and plenty of time.
Here are the details: I've heard a number of folks comment that they like bacon but never cook it because doing so is a messy hassle. These clearly unhappy souls say that they do not like standing over a hot stove with grease popping in their faces, and clean-up is a chore. First, I will respond by saying that I personally would not let a few minor burns deter me from nurturing my spirit with a slice of home-cooked paradise. Most folks probably do not share my level of zeal on the subject, though, so I'll address the problem by saying that proper cooking technique can minimize these difficulties.
First, having bacon for breakfast is a luxury for most people, and should be treated as such. By "luxury" I mean that it's something you cook on the weekends after sleeping late and when you aren't stuffing a bagel in your mouth while running to catch the Metro. Evidence of this fact is that when our bed and breakfast guests awaken to the smell of bacon cooking, they usually descend into the dining room in a hypnotic trance, lured by the soothing call of a hearty home-cooked breakfast that they actually have time to enjoy. Some of them (God help them) don't even like bacon, but the smell of it returns them to a simpler time when life was both happier and slower.
My point? Take it slow.
- Begin with a cold pan. Add just a little bit of oil, enough to lightly coat the entire pan. Any oil is fine, and is a matter of taste. Regular grocery-store variety vegetable oil works fine. In a pinch, you can even use a non-stick cooking spray, although I prefer to not do this. Also, I prefer oils that do not impart additional or foreign flavors to the meat.
- Many chefs say that one should begin cooking the bacon in a cold pan. This is fine and will work well, but I like to warm the pan just enough so that when you add the bacon, the fat begins to liquefy within a few seconds. Do not heat the pan to the extreme sizzling point, though. When you add bacon to the pan, it should not immediately snap and hiss and sizzle—this will cause it to shrink and curl too quickly, complicating the cooking process.
- Gradually let the pan warm up so that the bacon starts sizzling and the fat starts melting. Manage the heat so it stays even, and do not allow the heat to exceed the minimum level required to sizzle the bacon. Cook the bacon uncovered. Turn the bacon with your tongs regularly, but not too frequently. Give the meat a chance to start browning before you turn it.
- Do not over-heat your pan—doing so is a kitchen disaster. If the melted bacon fat in the pan starts to pop and splatter a lot, your pan is too hot. The pan is also getting too hot if you notice smoke. Both the seasoning of the cast-iron and the bacon grease itself will start to burn if your heat is too high, and this burning will produce smoke. Light, thin smoke (in small quantities) or steam are both normal. If you start to see dark, thick smoke wafting out of the pan, reduce the heat immediately. Remember—cast-iron holds heat, so even after turning off the heat, food in the pan will continue to cook.
- A cast-iron bacon press can help immensely, but is not required. A bacon press helps distribute heat to the top side of the bacon, while compressing the meat in the pan to cook it evenly.
- Cook the bacon until it is a nice rich brown, but avoid allowing any part of it to blacken. Remove the bacon from the pan and let it rest on a paper towel for a minute or so. The grease will drain off and the bacon will become crispy. For happy taste buds, serve the bacon fresh and hot.
At our inn, I usually have to cook bacon for many people at one time. Since I usually only use one large pan to do it, I typically cook multiple batches in succession. After each batch is finished, I leave its hot oil in the pan and just add new bacon to it. I have found that the bacon cooks best after the pan has accumulated enough oil to just cover the top of the bacon strips. The bacon cooks more quickly, more evenly, and requires less flipping. So, if you are cooking only for yourself and don't cook enough at one time to accumulate this amount of oil in the pan, you may want to pour your bacon grease into a metal can after each batch and store it in the freezer. Then, the next time you want to cook bacon, you can just return the grease to the pan and start ahead of the game.
Frying vs. baking
Frying bacon is an art, not a science, and you will probably have to do it a few times before you get really good at it. Like Rachel Ray, many chefs, innkeepers, and foodies will tell you that the best way to cook bacon is in the oven, because "that's how they do it in the restaurants." Yes, I suppose you can do it that way, and, frankly, most of the few dozen innkeepers I know do it that way. But, at our bed and breakfast in Orange, Virginia, I choose not to. It certainly has its benefits, but most restaurateurs and innkeepers bake instead of fry because it is easier on them, not because baking makes better bacon. Baking does provide consistent, even heat and a predictable cooking experience, and allows the fat to drain away during the cooking process. You can also do more things with it, such as sprinkle brown sugar or maple syrup on it. I am more of a purist. At our Virginia inn, we believe that bacon is an indulgence, and should have the best flavor and texture possible. In my view, the method described above is not just the best way—it's the only way. Of course, there are plenty of folks who will have a different opinion, and that's ok, too.
Have you stayed with us and savored our bacon? If so, what did you think? Do you know of any other techniques or recipes we should try?

Involvement in cultural activities in the language (i.e. reading newspapers and magazines, watching television and films or engaging with relevant communities) is regarded favourably, as is travel to the country in question.
How to apply
Application for admission should be made through UCAS (the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service). Applicants currently at school or college will be provided with advice on the process; however, applicants who have left school or who are based outside the United Kingdom may obtain information directly from UCAS.
If your application demonstrates that your academic ability and motivation makes you well-suited to our degree and you receive and offer, then we shall invite you to a post-offer Open Day, where you can experience the sort of teaching which we offer and life in SELCS.
Our admissions process aims to assess your linguistic abilities and attainments as well as cultural awareness and intellectual potential. We may interview candidates by telephone in order to establish a level of language ability.
When applying for a place on this programme, all applicants must indicate in the space provided on their application the combination of languages that they wish to be considered for. Please note that French and Spanish are not taught brom beginner's level so and A level or equivalent is essential.
