OK, so as my ‘debut’ in glossy print comes along with elearning magazine I have some serious things that need sorting out, and you out there in aggregator land are the perfect people to help with such serious matters.
Questions…
1.) Should I call my column ‘Inside and Between’ or ‘In and Between’ (this is, of course a reference to Earl W. Stevick’s assertion that the most important thing that happens in a classroom is what goes on ‘inside and between’ the people in the room… it’s my ‘next business’ name too :o) ?
2. Which of the following photos should I use (taken today by the wonderful Simon Fox, who is available to hire if you wanna get in touch with him!)?
a. ‘Smug’ 
b. ‘Shiny’ 
c. ‘Senile’ 
d. ‘Salubrious’ 
Thankyou!!!
Hey,
Well, my vote is for ‘In and Between’ so it isn’t a direct quote of Stevick’s? Just a thought. Either is good, though. I like the idea.
I really like all the photos, provided they are lightened a bit to see your face better. Of course, “Senile” is kinda fun. :o) And, it is a smile. Smiling is good.
Congrats on the column and the coming ‘next business’.
All the best.
You should call it: “Hey Earl you was right!”, and smug is best…that dark mysterious side I know only too well…
seriously though: “Senile” is over-lit, “Salubrious” has too much reflection, “Shiny” has odd structures coming out of your head…leaving….smug. But hey what would I know about composition.
You could get clever and try something like “in&between” or “inANDbetween” where “and” is in between “in” and “between” (oi, I am making myself dizzy).
For photos “Senile” as best lighting but you got poles sticking from your head…. I kind of like Salubrious though I have no idea what that means.
‘In and Between’. Because it’s punchier.
C. Senile. The overlighting won’t be as obvious in print (where things aren’t backlit), and it’s much better visually than any of the others.
Thanks guys, apparently it means healthy… I thought it was more like ‘slick’… hang on, taht begins with ‘s’ too…
In and Between – definitely – runs off the tongue easier.
I would vote for the ‘salubrious’ piccie – the reflection in the glass shows the ‘in and between’
Have you considered In/Between? It’s a good solution to the maybe Cartesian implications of the and. Although between the two I like In and Between. Inside & Between sounds like a porn film.
‘Smug’ gets my vote, you look more professional in it than in the others. And less insain.
Good grief. You really must be feeling invulnerable today.
Definitely ‘smug’ – never trust smiling columnists! (No idea why, but there’s something, well, smug about smiling mug shots!

I think I trust females more on this one :o) Well, females & Lindon! So.. smug it shall be & I think I’ll change my ‘about’ page to senile…
Yes, inside & between does sound a bit porn doesn’t it!!!
In&Between, InAndBetween, In/Between all sound good too… yer all legends!

What about Mr Marvellous,any way I think your looking pretty good!and am glad pressies o.k. When might you next be gracing these shores?.Love from unc.
Can I just add that both a) smug & d) salubrious have reflections…hmmm…does this imply multiple personalities?? Which could be useful – or not!
