Top Teachers: Janet Givens
By Tom Lappas, Henrico Citizen Editor 02/18/11
Officially, Janet Givens teaches first grade at Echo Lake Elementary School. Unofficially, she teaches creativity.
Givens' classroom is a wonderland of ingenuity, a place where students learn the same lessons in a multitude of different ways. Students often lead their peers in lessons on her classroom Promethean board or create scrapbooks from field trip experiences. Mind-bender games challenge their knowledge.
During a popular lesson about the solar system, Givens takes her students outside to draw a 15-foot sun in chalk on the pavement, then uses a golf ball to represent the size of Earth.
"The visual perception of the concept will forever be embedded in my son's head," wrote one woman who nominated Givens.
Givens – who gave up a career in interior design and retail merchandising to become a teacher 15 years ago – traces the roots of her own creativity to her great aunt, an art teacher who instilled much of it in her at a young age.
"I like thinking of news ways to do things, or unusual ways – ways the kids relate to," she said. "I just really try to be me in my classroom, and part of me is, a lot of times, doing things a little bit differently."
Givens earned National Board Certified Teacher status in 2004 – an involved process that requires teachers to develop an extensive portfolio and complete several assessment exercises. She has taught first grade at Echo Lake since the school opened in 1999. She works to develop a personal connection with each student, believing that in turn they'll open up to her and be more eager to learn.
"I like to try to find that one little special thing that makes a child unique or challenging or special," she said.
Her efforts haven't gone unnoticed among parents.
"She recognizes the wide ability range of children in her class and manages to incorporate the advanced essentials of curriculum yet still meet the needs of those requiring a 'second helping,' one nominator wrote.
Givens is a regular participant in recess – "I'm usually the pitcher for kickball," she admitted – and considers one of her most meaningful teaching moments to be one that came outside the classroom. A student had earned the reward of running a mile with her after school, but he had difficulty convincing himself he could finish.
"That whole time I kept telling him, 'One foot in front of the other, you can do this – we're not going to stop, you can do this' – and he did," he recalled. "It was the best mile I ever ran with him. It's something that I carry with me."
New conservation easement creates wooded buffer for Bryan Park
Citizen Staff Reports 04/21/2017 Features
Five years ago, members of the Friends of Bryan Park were facing the apparently inevitable development of the Shirley subdivision in Henrico, adjacent to the forested section of the park near the Nature Center and Environmental Education Area.
As part of the Shirley subdivision, the land had been divided into 14 lots in 1924, but had remained mostly undisturbed through the decades. In 2012, however, developers proposed building 40 modular houses on roughly 6.5 acres, clear-cutting the forest there and creating a highly dense neighborhood tucked into a dead end. > Read more.

Meet the men running for governor
By Megan Schiffres, Capital News Service 04/21/2017 Government
Virginia will elect a new governor this year.
The governor's position is one of great power and influence, as the current officeholder, Terry McAuliffe, has demonstrated by breaking the record for most vetoes in Virginia history.
However, during the last gubernatorial race in 2014, the voter turnout was less than 42 percent, compared with 72 percent during last year's presidential election. > Read more.

Fundamental Analysis: Initial Jobless Claims
Traders of the US anticipate the publication of the Initial Jobless Claims.
This is a seasonally adjusted measure of the number of people who file for
unemployment benefits for the first time during the given week. This data is
collected by the Department of Labor, and published as a weekly report. The
number of jobless claims is used as a measure of the health of the job
market, as a series of increases indicates that there are fewer people being
hired. On a week-to-week basis, claims are quite volatile. Usually, a move
of at least 35K in claims, is required to signal a meaningful change in job
A higher than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the
USD, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish
for the USD. Analysts predict a future reading of 440.00K.
Euro Dollar
The Euro continued to rise from last week's low, Friday's low, and the
10-month low 1.3266, reaching a new top for this correction at 1.3535, from
which it dropped strongly for more than 150 pips. The collapse which
happened late last week is completely expected, not only that, but we
believe what we have seen yet is just part one of a strong and massive
medium term drop which has already started! We will not be a bit surprised
when we see the Euro below 1.30 in the near future, on the contrary, we look
forward with eager to that. But after dropping from 1.38 to 1.32 in a few
days, a rising correction is normal & logical thing and holds no surprises.
Thus, we should focus of the projected targets for this correction, the most
important of which is the Fibonacci 61.8% resistance at 1.3606. Adding
importance to this level is the fact that the long term descending trend
line is getting closer and closer to it. As for the short term, we see
resistance at 1.3441, and if broken, we will continue to correct the last
wave down from 1.38. Ideal targets for such a correction are 1.3541 & the
level with continuous rise in its importance 1.3606. As for the support it
is at 1.3369 and breaking it would indicate a continuation of the drop from
yesterday's top 1.3535. We do expect large targets to be met for the short
term, such as 1.3283 & 1.3190.
* 1.3369: the bottom of the rising trend line from 1.3266 on hourly charts.
* 1.3283: Thursday's low.
* 1.3190: Apr 30th low.
* 1.3441: Fibonacci 38.2% for the drop from yesterday's top.
* 1.3541: Fibonacci 50% for the drop from 1.3816.
* 1.3606: Fibonacci 61.8% for the drop from 1.3816.
Dollar-Yen broke the resistance specified in yesterday's report 92.68, and
successfully reached the first suggested target 93.20, in a move in the same
direction of the technical outlook which followed the break of the falling
trend line on the daily chart, which we have talked about several times
recently. Before reaching 93, the technical outlook was positive, and after
reaching 93, the technical outlook is still positive. But, as we approach
the important top 93.75, we recommend caution of a possible drop. Since it
is pretty important, we will take 93.75 to be our resistance of the day,
and we do not expect this correctionless rise to continue unless it is
broken. But if it does, the price will jump above 94 for the first time
since August, targeting 94.35 and may get a taste of 95 as it targets 95.05.
As for the support it is at 93.00, and breaking it would mean that the price
has settled for a top at 93.58, for the time being at least, and that we
will now correct the big rise we just saw.
* 93.00: Fibonacci 38.2% for the short term.
* 92.13: Feb 19th low.
* 91.49: Fibonacci 38.2% for the rise from 88.12.
* 93.75: Jan 8th high.
* 94.35: Aug 4th low.
* 95.05: Aug 24th high.

The question is similar to pie chart. Basically, I have a bar chart, and the feature I wanted is that:
When mouse hover on bar, the according category axis label can be highlighted (customized color) too. Same goes that when mouse is over category axis label, the according bar area will be highlighted.
Same as selection behavior, I can click on category axis label to make a selection, drag-area to do multiple selection from category axis label, same as I do this from data plot area.

Matthew Norman: That the menu was the usual country house hotel paean to fussy pretension was no surprise. What startled was the cooking.

Hotel at a Glance: Mayan Princess Beach and Dive Resort
Loggerhead turtles, whale sharks, and tuna all make their home amid the vast Mesoamerican reef. On this all-inclusive vacation, you can take a complimentary scuba-diving lesson to see the reef. It's one of many activities available at the luxurious Mayan Princess Beach and Dive Resort, in addition to kayaking and snorkeling. And if you're not in the water, you can park right next to it—the beach is steps away from the property.

I have been hiking the Cotswold Way and stayed here just for one night. I had a quite rough day with some rain and arrived on Easter Sunday. Shirley had her whole family over but still took herself the time to show me everything and make myself comfortable. I had a very pleasant and recreating night, thank you for everything!Benno2016-03-30T00:00:00Z

Visiting the area for a wedding, Shirley's studio flat was perfect - impeccably clean, incredibly comfy bed, great ensuite bathroom and lovely touch with the cereal and milk for breakfast. Miles better than staying in a hotel! Shirley is a wonderful host, making our stay very smooth and stress free. Thank you!Laura2016-04-16T00:00:00Z
We had a lovely stay at Shirley and Nicks. The room had everything you could want including breakfast cereals, milk, water, tea and coffee. The bed was very comfortable and the room was so clean and bright. Shirley and Nick were very friendly and welcoming and suggested a lovely pub to eat at. A great place to stay.Cathy2016-07-04T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful stay in Shirley and Nicks apartment. Great location for both Stroud town centre and walks. The studio was well equipped and spotlessly clean. Private entrance to the flat so we I radiantly felt comfortable to come and go at our own convenience. Couldn't ask for more! Both Shirley and Nick were brilliant hosts and as well as info provided in our room they were able to recommend local attractions and places to eat so we could make the most of our stay. Highly recommended and would stay again! Thank you!Michelle2016-05-30T00:00:00Z

Would have no hesitation booking again in future!Melissa2017-03-18T00:00:00Z
Our stay was very nice. Jennifer was welcoming even considering our late check-in. The place itself is really lovely, with the large windows and the amazing view over the garden, the pond and the surrounding hills. We actually liked it so much we decided to stay for two nights instead of one. It's a great place to use as a base to explore the beautiful Cotswolds area.Malik2017-01-18T00:00:00Z

Beautiful location with stunning views! We had a lovely stay, Rachel was extremely kind, helpful and welcoming. The accommodation is comfortable and quiet with everything you need. We would whole heartedly recommend it!Antonia2016-03-18T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful time in Selsley. The unit was very clean and modern. The views were spectacular it was very quiet and private and the ideal place to get away and relax. Rachel went above and beyond all expectations. We were greeted with at bottle of wine & fruit along with enough supplies for a continental breakfast in the mornings. We did not have a car and she was very helpful navigating public transportation for us and providing a lift if needed. She knows the area well and we took advantage of her many suggestions. If you love the outdoors and history/architecture this is a perfect place. The hikes were breathtaking and there was always a local pub nearby to quench our thirst and visit with locals. I would highly recommend this place to get a real taste of England. Unfortunately there's not a six-star rating or we would have given one!Jim2016-11-29T00:00:00Z
Enjoyed our stay at Rachel's place (Fri-Sun). The unit is cosy, really clean and modern, and the bed was comfortable. It's perfect for 2 people for a short break. The views are amazing. Rachel was really friendly and happy to help. Her father welcomed us on the Friday so we could drop our bags off before walking up to lunch at The Bell (totally recommend!), and Rachel had left us everything we needed - including provisions of bread, bagels, jams, butter, milk, wine, orange juice, fruit basket, coffee, tea, yogurts and biscuits. Met Rachel on Sat morning. We were visiting family locally, so know the area, but it was great to discover more about the history of Stanley Park - fascinating stuff. A really wonderful stay!Joanne2016-10-23T00:00:00Z
Rachel hospitality makes us feel at home! Thanks for the bottle of wine, the use of your balcony (to enjoy the sunset) and good tips! The view and surrounding was suberb!

We really enjoyed sitting out in the private outdoor terraced area which is also adjoined by a large beautifull garden. Host was very accomodating and helpfull and made sure we were well stocked up in the kitchenette. The decor had personal touches that really gave a homely feel. Nice pub close by, a few minutes walk.barbara2016-08-30T00:00:00Z

Rachel was very accommodating and we were made to feel very welcome. Rachel provided us with breakfast supplies suited to our tastes, plenty of fruit and a welcome bottle of wine. The appartment is in a beautiful location with stunning views. It was a super place to stay in. As I was there with my ten year old daughter, Rachel very kindly brought dowm some games for us to play with as we'd forgotten to bring any ourselves.

Victoria was an amazing host - I was unwell during the stay and she ensured I was looked after and comfortable, going well above and beyond the call of duty. The studio is lovely, with a good kitchen, comfortable sofa, and the most luxurious throw on the bed! There are lovely walks nearby and we're looking forward to visiting another time when I won't be ill! A truly lovely place that we recommend wholeheartedly.Jenny2017-02-10T00:00:00Z

Lovely flat and lovely couple! Ludo and Katy were vey welcoming. We only stayed overnight to attend a wedding in nearby Stroud...a great shame as the common is so beautiful so not enough time to explore. Next time we will be sure to stay longer! The Bear of Rodborough pub is very close and has a big garden, perfect for a drink in the sun and the ice cream shop next door to the flat was an surprise bonus. Excellent location for a rambling holiday and countryside escape.Lara2015-07-20T00:00:00Z

A good location if out and about the South part of the Cotswolds. Good directions and easy to find. The accommodation was at the rear of the property. Beds were all made up and looked quite cosy from entering. A nice small kitchen, with everything you need. A nice outdoor seating area with lights too so it didn't feel too small. The main bed was ok, could do with a mattress topper. I felt springs sticking out of my the bed which made it an uncomfortable nights sleep. The sofa bed was quite comfy. We only stayed 1 night. I was thinking it would feel like sleeping in a nursery but it didn't at all. Lovely features of the room.Shaz2016-09-18T00:00:00Z

Fantastic place with fantastic hosts. They have set the standard for airbnb in England. Ludo & Katy gave us a warm welcome complete with fresh scones. They checked in every day to make sure everything was ok. The kitchen was stocked with essentials and they even provided some toys for our little one. The space is cosy but with enough space for the three of us. Wish the weather had off been nicer to enjoy the decking. This was a good base for exploring Bath and Avebury and the icecream place next door is a bonus.Melissa2014-05-31T00:00:00Z

Kaye and Richard were really helpful with everything!! They also provided breakfast which was really great and very very much appreciated!! The studio was really cosy and clean - and the view just amazing! We were even blessed to enjoy the view with a rainbow- it was really a fairy-tale-like moment!!! Waking up in such an environment is really an experience! If you are planning a trip around Cotswold and want to explore English countryside, Kaye's apt is definitely the place to stay!Maria2016-05-23T00:00:00Z

Lovely estate with beautiful surroundings. I made this booking for my parents, so the below is their feedback: The estate offers all you can expect from the Cotswold, beautiful scenery, stone houses and a country feel. The host was gracious and well organised. The Tythe Barn itself was however slightly disappointing. The flat has a view of the manor house, but also looks directly into the garbage collection area which spoils the effect a little bit. It also had a moldy smell when they entered, but was not noticeable anymore after they aired the rooms. Tythe Barn looked better in pictures than it did in person.Retief2015-06-26T00:00:00Z
A charming, rustic setting in the beautiful Cotswold district. Owlpen Manor lived up to expectations. We were fortunate to be upgraded to Peter"s Nest. Karin was incredibly helpful and responsive to our requests and made sure there was wood so that we could have a roaring log fire during a chilly night. Highly recommendedKaren2015-07-22T00:00:00Z

A cosy apartment, just big enough for the two of us! The estate is lovley and a nice 15-20st minute St roll through the fields to the village of Ulely were there's a pub with a great beer garden. The hot water ran out before we ever managed to fill a bath, but we managed with a half full one! Thanks for a lovely weekend away.Emma2016-05-31T00:00:00Z

Location was spot on for the purpose of our stay.Mark2017-03-18T00:00:00Z
The whole house smelt of cigarette smoke. There was ash on the dining room table, nothing was clean and we had to do a load of dishes before we cooked anything in the pots and pans, there was something rotting in the fridge and on top of that there was clothes and shoes and empty liquor bottles all over the house. We booked for 2 nights but left after 1 and found somewhere else despite having already paid. The guy who met us said he needed to give us the key, then said he was gonna be late and that the key was in the house already, and then he met us and it didnt look like the guy from the picture. Not sure if the bedding had been changed, booked for 3 and only 2 pillows and no sheet for second bed, no towels. Hard to find the place following directions and numbers as well. But the shower had good pressure despite yellow stains on the curtains, breakfast was laid out and good selection of dvds!Jamie2016-05-12T00:00:00Z

Edmund was a very gracious host and very accommodating. The apartment itself is located only few minutes walking distance from the city center and there is a private parking area behind the building.

The accommodation is at a great location. The view is quiet scenic. It is next to a pub, which is always helpful. Rosie and Kyle were very friendly and nice to help with the check in process. My recommendation would be to do something about the stairs for the entrance. It is a three bedroom apartment, which means people with reasonable luggage. The stairs are too small to take things up and down. My second recommendation will be to provide guests with a provision to control heating and hot water. I'm sure it was just one off but my family stayed without heating or hot water one evening + night. That was a cold experience. It was, however, sorted the next day and Ben was very helpful throughout. The third bedroom on top needs some decor. It's a bit raw and my sister got some shivers at night. Some nice interior adjustments would help. Apart from these, great hosts, great location and give it a try.Vaibhav2017-04-04T00:00:00Z
Nick's apartment is just beautiful! The decor is absolutely stunning and the apartment is extremely spacious, it can easily accommodate 6 adults comfortably. There is lots of parking available, and Nick allows you full use of the garden which is useful, especially as we had our Chihuahua with us. A bottle of wine in the fridge was a nice touch, along with milk, tea and cafetiere coffee. The layout with the kitchen and dinning room combined was great. The kitchen is well equipped and everything is brand new, which is lovely. The location is great and there are lots of great places to walk and explore nearby. Nick offers 10% discount at the pub next door which is a great bonus! Having stayed a quite a few Airbnb's this one is my favorites.Ann-Marie2017-01-02T00:00:00Z

The apartment is in a great place we could access historical sites (Woodchester Mansion) by car and there is lots of great footpaths from the site itself. Its a great base for visiting the area, it was very warm to come back to after a days walking.Amy2016-10-16T00:00:00Z
I highly recommend staying at Kate's, she was very friendly and house is wonderful as are the surroundings.Daniel2016-07-11T00:00:00Z
We loved staying here! The apartment itself was lovely and perfect for our family of four, and located in such a picturesque spot. Kate was delightful and facilitated an excellent stay. We definitely would recommend this apartment!Melanie2016-08-04T00:00:00Z

Natasha was very welcoming. She allowed us to check in early. Her apartment was clean, warm and had everything we needed. It was also within walking distance to to centre of town where we could go to restaurants and shopsTracie2017-04-01T00:00:00Z
The apartment is really cozy in a quiet neighborhood and Natasha makes the whole experience wonderful with necessities for the next day's breakfast. There is a COOP within 5 mins walk with all needs and a large TESCO further up with 5 mins drive. The apartment is clean, airy and kitchenware are fully furnished hence no worries for preparing a simple meal.Danny2016-06-24T00:00:00Z
Walking into Natasha's airbnb you might feel a bit spoilt. The space is fantastic, with all the amenities you'll need. Excellent location to Stroud's shops, supermarkets etc...I enjoyed my stay so much I booked another shortly after. Repeat business from a very discerning Airbnb'er is the best recommendation I can give.Mike2015-11-18T00:00:00Z
Natasha wasn't in but David was a really good host. Lovely flat, everything we needed and more. Highly recommended.David2015-07-27T00:00:00Z
Our experience with Natasha's apartment in Stroud was perfect. For our short stay this apartment had everything we needed.Stefan2014-05-12T00:00:00Z
Natasha was a great host, very friendly and took into account all of our requirements. Her maisonette was absolutely spotless, equipped with all the necessary items. We particular loved the bedroom in the attic, the decor made it feel so homey. Overall we had a fabulous time and would definitely recommend this to anyone considering a weekend break to Cotswold.Mike2016-09-18T00:00:00Z

Freezer Mysteries
Published: June 28, 1989
To The Living Section:
When I read Marian Burros's De Gustibus column [ ''In Refrigerator's Depths, Mystery Lurks, June 7 ] , I immediately traipsed down to the basement to plumb the freezer's depths for the first time in many months.
I'd forgotten exactly what was in the five boxes of frozen meats that Omaha Steaks had packed and shipped so carefully some six or seven (or maybe even eight) years ago to our son who was then living in Indiana. He had had the boxes some vague period of time when he moved back to New York with the Omaha Steak boxes packed in dry ice, which he deposited in our freezer ''for the time being.''
For several years, each time I suggested that he take the boxes to his apartment in New York, or even when I said that we would be happy to bring them to him, he averted the actual transfer. Finally, he told me to just ''get rid of them.'' He would no longer feel comfortable eating them, after all that time.
I phoned the Omaha Steak people about two years ago to see whether they thought the steaks would still be healthy to eat. The spokeswoman said that they probably would be all right except for possible freezer burn. But, like my son, I simply couldn't bring myself to use these some-years-old meats, so they have continued to languish in our freezer.
After reading the article, I checked the contents of those boxes again and found 11 steaks of various expensive cuts, four beef Wellingtons and six chicken breasts stuffed with wild and white rice. It was a great tribute to the packing and shipping skills of Omaha Steaks that they all looked perfect, as if they had just arrived.
Martin Friedman's solution in the Burros article for food left in the refrigerator seemed to be the best advice. When he checked his couple-of-years-old yogurt in the refrigerator and found it still not moldy, he thought it was incredible but said, ''It's going to be thrown out.''
If I were sensible, I'd probably make that same decision. But after all this time, and with all that meat looking so new - well, I think I'll just put it out of mind for now and think about it again next year. JUNE MERRELL Chatham, N.J.

Alright guys….I'm sorry…I know you'll understand because you're cool like that. I'm going to use the last three chapters of The Downward Spiral for something else, in the future. Maybe a sequel, maybe I don't know. Maybe for something totally different.
But I intended for TDS to be a one-shot. And I think that it kind of ruins it being a story-story. Plus I have ABSOLUTLEY no idea where to go with it.
So my sincerest apologies.
Love you,

Latest Umpiring News
Marking of Umpires : Some Guidance to Captains
Umpires' marking are used within the league for allocating umpires to Premier and Division 1 matches, and to highlight areas for improvement.Markings are submitted to ECB and play a key part in the assessment of umpires who seek to progress to a higher level.
Captains are encouraged not to award their marks immediately and have 7 days to complete their reports allowing plenty of time for objective reflection. Comments are extremely important and valuable because they shed light on both a good and a poor performance.
There are 3 key elements in Umpire Assessment 1) Communication. 2) Control of the Match 3) Decision Making.
Key Questions on Umpire Communication
Clear and confident communication helps the game to run smoothly and says a lot about the umpire's general demeanour and approachability on the field
Were the umpire's calls made in a loud and clear manner? Were any explanations or answers to questions given in a clear and understandable way( not whether you agreed with the answer or explanation!)? Did the umpire give any additional unprompted comments or explanations that helped the game? Was the umpire approachable, and equally so to both teams? Did the umpire talk too much on the field?
Key Questions on Control of the Match
On some occasions it is necessary for the umpire to intervene straightaway. In other instances the umpire can use his discretion and have a quiet word after an incident. There is a saying that the best umpires are not noticed
Did the umpire achieve the right balance in intervening in incidents on the field of play? Was the umpire heavy-handed or ineffectual in dealing with any incidents? Allowing for interruptions in play, did the umpire ensure that the game ran smoothly? Did the umpire show good man-management skills and earn the respect of the players? Did the umpire show an understanding of,or empathy with, the game and players?
Key Questions on Decision Making
It is highly unlikely that an umpire has "had nothing to do" during a game. It would be truly exceptional for an umpire to have to make no decisions at all. Decisions will be big, minor, arguable and poor
Did the umpire make the "big decisions"(dismissals) correctly? Did the umpire make the "minor decisions"( no-balls, wides, byes, leg byes, number of balls) correctly? Did the umpire correctly call an "arguable decision( stumping, run out, LBW etc)? Did the umpire make any "poor decisions"(incorrect to most participants in the game)?

October 05, 2009
Once again back is the incredible ... Ball Don't Lie's NBA previews, outlining offseason moves, projecting win totals, spinning tracks and much, much more. It's a fun, hot mess. First up, the Boston Celtics.
2008-09 Record: 62-20, first place in Atlantic Division
Head Coach/Facial Hair: Doc Rivers/None
Key Additions: Rasheed Wallace(notes), Marquis Daniels(notes)
Key Losses: Leon Powe(notes)
Apologies for telling you what you already know, but the story is the same now as it was last spring. Even the opening pangs of training camp haven't changed a thing — Boston's fortunes ride entirely on the health of Kevin Garnett(notes).
This isn't anything new. Nor is it particularly revelatory, especially when you consider that teams 1-30 generally kind of tend to perform as well as their best player is performing. Yet Garnett's such a special case that it deserves batting into the ground again and again.
For one, his injury isn't a typical basketball-styled malady. There's nothing to fall back on, no "oh, I remember Boozer having that a few years back, he wasn't right until January, but he was fine eventually." Apparently his tendons had to be stapled back onto his right knee. Apparently he was limping around in practice last week. Apparently things are going to be fine by the end of October. Apparently, C's fans haven't had fingernails to chew since last February.
Additionally, because Garnett is such a unique player, there's no real telling from game to game just what his teammates need to do in his absence, should there be an absence to make up for. Because he does so much defensively to disrupt a game, alongside the usual all-world stat lines, it's not as simple as looking to run more for Paul Pierce(notes), or letting Rajon Rondo(notes) dominate the ball a bit more.
Both would help, and we again apologize for acting as if Garnett is some sort of ghost, but we've just as much reason to think about that end of things as we do the end that has KG pounding his chest and pounding the glass for 82 games plus the playoffs.
Let's deal with the half-full approach. This team is quite talented, there's a blind dedication to winning from the top on down and they're a little over 15 months removed from deservedly hoisting the Larry O'Brien trophy over their heads. The Celtics obviously have what it takes to get back to that peak. The team is too good.
Rondo's 23. That's young, and he was a borderline All-Star last year. I don't read too much into his white-hot, first-round stats from the playoffs last spring (19.4 points, 11.6 assists, 9.3 rebounds and 2.7 steals per game is nothing to sneeze at, but most of those numbers came against Chicago's Derrick Rose(notes), who is a miserable defender). But Rondo has a great chance to become the fifth All-Star on Boston's roster. That's up to him, and on a team with this much peer pressure, I don't expect Rondo to fall backward like he did for some stretches in 2008-09.
Rasheed Wallace and Ray Allen(notes) are two former All-Stars who are (when Rasheed's head is on straight and Allen's ankles are in place) a step or two below that level these days. That said, the two can play. Rasheed can't replace what Garnett brings at all angles if KG were to step aside, but he's just about the closest thing there is to that. Ray's 34, but that jumper's not going anywhere.
Kendrick Perkins(notes), assuming he continues to stay in shape, will continue to improve. He's not even 25 yet, and if Kendrick Perkins is the weak link in your starting lineup, than you're doing pretty well.
Depth? Not great. Wallace helps, a ton. Marquis Daniels can really play. I have misgivings about his ability as a reserve point man, but he can help this team if the motivation is there. Glen Davis(notes) can score, Eddie House(notes) can shoot, Wallace can do a bit of everything, Shelden Williams(notes) can sop up minutes (and perhaps a turn with Boston assistant Clifford Ray can turn his career around) and Brian Scalabrine(notes) is still on the team. Could be a lot worse.
The rock here is Paul Pierce. He put the Celtics on his back to lead them into the playoffs with Garnett on the pine last year, he carried the team for years with no help, and though he might level off a bit in his 12th season, he should be there again in 2009-10. No matter what's falling or rising around him. Points, points in the fourth quarter, helping the team toward the win.
And the team will win. As high as the low 60s, if KG is around and playing as well as can be reasonably expected. Possibly the high 40s or low 50s, if KG struggles. I hope this doesn't come off as flip, but the team is just going to have to try and make it to the playoffs with tendons intact. This group is made for the postseason, and the trick is going to be getting there with everyone on board this time around. You already knew that. Let's see what happens.
Prediction: 56-26
Can the aging Celtics stay healthy?
"Last season, the big unknown was how or if the Celtics would replace the valuable James Posey(notes). They never really did, and it hurt. But the title defense hopes went down with the season-ending knee injury to Kevin Garnett. The Celtics have covered themselves there, both with a healthy KG and the addition of Rasheed Wallace. Health is the only critical issue facing this team; an injury to any of the Big Three akin to the one suffered by Garnett would seriously damage their title hopes."
— Peter May, Yahoo! Sports 2009-10 NBA Preview magazine
• CelticsBlog: "Defense always comes first on this team, and that's perhaps the biggest reason why the Celtics are among the elite. Imagine a point guard using all his quickness and strength to get past Rondo, only to find himself staring up at 4 long arms waving frantically in his face while expletives and guttural yells reign down on him. Meanwhile, he just got pickpocketed by Marquis Daniels sneaking over from the weak side to help. Rondo's already streaking up the floor with the ball before the guy knows what happened. Can you tell I'm ready for this season to start?" [more]
• Celtics Hub: "This team will not be satisfied unless it brings home another championship. Right now, there look to be five viable contenders out there for an NBA championship. Considering the C's took one of these teams (Magic) to seven games last season at far less than full strength, anything less than a NBA Finals return trip with this revamped squad would be a letdown. The time is now for this aging team full of stars, and the focus will be immense to bring the title back to Beantown." [more]
• RedsArmy.com: "Sometimes we forget that Rondo is a really young guy. He's not even 24 yet [...] he's still years away from his prime. He's still getting better ... but he's plenty good enough to be the second most important player on this team. And with the addition of Rasheed Wallace to absorb any lost KG minutes, you could argue that Rondo is the most important guy. I only hope he gets the message to wear tighter shoes. I'm sick of those things falling off his feet during games." [more]
"You're A Jerk," New Boyz
During last year's playoffs a lot of people soured on the Celtics. Why? Maybe because of Kevin Garnett yelling in people's faces even though he wasn't playing. Or from Rajon Rondo punching people in the head. Or the general Rock Steady and Bebop-ness of Kendrick Perkins and Glen Davis. OK, there were a lot of reasons that the Celtics became the bad guys. The jerks, if you will.
But the thing is, they embraced it. And it worked. Someone needs to play the bully, and the Celtics are as good of a choice as any. Boston is so good, and so OK with being despised, that we don't care that this song was made in the heart of Laker country.
— Trey Kerby, The Blowtorch
A number of fantasy titles could be decided by Kevin Garnett's status this season, just as it will largely affect the level of success the Celtics have on the court. You need full return on draft picks in the early rounds if you are going to compete, and KG's current Yahoo! average draft position (13.1) is not leaving room for downside that the potential for fewer minutes and occasional games off would necessitate.
The Garnett trickle-down affect will also help determine the extent of Rasheed and Perkins' fantasy contributions, as well as how much (extra) responsibility Pierce, Allen, and Rondo will take on throughout the season. Rondo could take a big step forward in the fantasy realm if he complements his great counting stats with an uptick in offense.

About Common Roots Urban Farm Produce
While Common Roots Urban Farm is not a certified organic farm, we do follow organic practices. Vegetables are grown without any synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, and we focus on building healthy soil, which in turn grows healthy, resilient plants capable of warding off pests and diseases. Weekly, we spray with a compost tea, which feeds the microbial life of the soil, and use Biodynamic treatments, other plant teas, glacial rock powder and seaweed based products throughout the season to provide further nutrients to the plants and soil. This year, to prepare the Market Garden beds at the beginning of the season, we used compost made by our Compostmeister with pumpkins from last year's Pumpkin Smash, almost exclusively!
This year, we've added a focus on growing nutrient dense crops, paying further attention to the balance of minerals in the soil and how they impact the nutrient content of the food we grow. Throughout the season we'll be testing the sugar content of our veggies using a refractometer to help us determine whether our soil quality and thus vegetable quality is improving.
With all of this, we hope to provide you with a beautiful, healthy product to take home.

Vancouver Police are reporting an incident of potential child luring last week — actually did not happen.
Officers were told around 1 pm last Friday a couple in a car had approached a group of kids near the playground at Ecole Anne Hebert Elementary School on Killarney and East 56th Avenue.
The pair apparently tried to lure a six-year-old girl into the vehicle.
After speaking with the two people identified, the VPD says the incident is "unfounded."
Thankfully there was no intent to harm the girl.
Police say this serves as a good reminder to parents to talk to children about "stranger danger."

Trump (and Putin) still pushing fascist 'nationalism'
Hold the exhalations of relief about the supposed moderation of Donald Trump and the apparent demotion of Steve Bannon, his official strategist.

Don't Be Distracted By 'Leaks' or 'Wiretaps'
From his first tweeted accusation of "wiretapping," Donald Trump has thrown up a screen of chaff to obscure what he and his cronies seem to fear most: a thorough, transparent investigation of the multiple connections between the Kremlin and his presidential campaign. Self-destructive as his ploy was, he succeeded in distracting attention from ...Read more
Why Trump (and Bannon) Mirror ISIS
What if the purpose of the Trump administration's travel ban is not to protect America from terrorist infiltration, as the president and his top advisers insist? What if the true aim of their anti-Muslim rhetoric, articulated over and over again, is actually to offend Muslims -- and intensify their alienation from the West?
Those questions ...Read more
Is It Watergate Yet?

With their latest attempts to manipulate the Federal Bureau of Investigation and intimidate the Washington press corps, they clumsily ...Read more
Why That Russian Dossier Can't Be Ignored
To see Michael Flynn depart his White House post in a miasma of misconduct -- amid memories of his "lock her up" speech about Hillary Clinton at the Republican convention last summer -- was satisfying. To hear that he might be replaced as national security adviser by someone saner is reassuring.
But Flynn's ouster is only the first chapter in...Read more
'Populist' Trump Punks His Fans
There was never any reason to think that Donald Trump's stump-speech assaults on Wall Street banks and hedge funds were even momentarily sincere -- but millions of working- and middle-class voters loved his populist rhetoric.
Emerging from his gold-plated jet, Trump would roar about cracking down on the financial vultures who had fattened ...Read more
