"Gandhi" (1982), an epic but intimate biographical film, was his greatest triumph.
[It] was nominated for 11 Academy Awards and won eight, including best picture, best director, best cinematography, best original screenplay and best actor (Mr. Kingsley).
Mr. Attenborough brought the film to fruition after a 20-year battle to raise money and interest often reluctant Hollywood producers, one of whom famously predicted that there would be no audience for "a little brown man in a sheet carrying a beanstalk." (Mr. Attenborough ended up producing it himself.)
Mr. Attenborough mortgaged his house in a London suburb, sold works of art and, as he put it, spent "so much money I couldn't pay the gas bill."
The film had 430 speaking parts and used over 300,000 extras for Gandhi's funeral. No one expected it to recoup its $22 million cost, but it wound up earning 20 times that amount.
Attenborough was 59 years old at the time. Who else would take such a risk at that point in his life?

Boris, in response to last night's blog, commented that it would be interesting to compare developments in athletics with those in memory sports. The fact that the winner of the 100m sprint in the first Olympic Games in 1896 did a sensational 12 seconds, for instance. Actually, there are other similarities apart from the gradual change in what is considered an exceptional performance - at the first modern Olympics, the athletes paid their own way over to Greece, the competitors were drawn from only those people who could afford the trip and who knew the event existed (C. B. Fry, probably the foremost British athlete at the time, didn't find out about the Olympics until after it had happened), and a lot of the rules and regulations were made up on the spur of the moment as and when they were needed. Memory sport is still very much in this kind of state at the moment, but if the Olympics can go from such humble beginnings to a really big thing, who knows?
Also, the 100m in those days was run from a standing start, on a dirt track, wearing rubber-soled boots and baggy shorts. The way they've improved on the basic principles of running in a straight line as quickly as possible is very much like the way we've improved on the way to memorise a pack of cards.
Actually, the comparison with swimming is even more similar. In 1878, when the first "world records" were published by the Amateur Swimming Association, the world record for the 100 yards freestyle was 76.75 seconds. The modern 100m record has knocked 30 seconds off that - helped by the development of "techniques" like the crawl (which was a brand new thing, distrusted by most Victorian swimmers, in 1878), swimming trunks instead of full-body bathing suits, holding swimming races in pools rather than the sea, modifications to the rules about diving starts, all the way up to the modern day and Michael Phelps's bionic body-suit (without which I suspect he'd drown if you pushed him in a swimming pool).
If there's one way in which memory sport is different (apart from the fact that it's a pointless mental exercise for people with too much time on their hands rather than a display of the awesome physical prowess of the human body at its peak), it's that the developments have been much more rapid, and the records have tumbled down much more dramatically. Who knows what will have happened in a hundred years? I hope I'm still around to see it, anyway...

We are so excited to be kicking off the New Year as we have a new schedule of speakers as well as many new restaurants for the MetroCeliac Supper Club. The January meeting focused on a local vendor of gluten and allergen free (and delicious) products. The company is called Enjoy Life Foods.
The MetroCeliacs were very excited to have Scott Mandell, the founder of Enjoy Life Foods, come to our first meeting of 2006. We met at Whole Foods on Ashland on January 17. Scott brought a few samples and talked about how Enjoy Life Foods came into being. The process started as a Graduate Class project and grew to an actual gluten and allergen free company that produces cookies, cereals and bars. In addition to Enjoy Life Foods, they have acquired a new branch company called Perky's. This adds a line of "Cheerio-like" cereals that are quite tasty and stood up to actually being in a bowl of milk. It was a fresh taste, lots of flavor, but not so sugary that it leaves that cereal taste in your mouth... we all tried samples and loved them.
We listened to the story of how Enjoy Life came to life, then Scott graciously allowed us to brainstorm products that a Celiac community would like added to the shelves... from pie crusts, to graham crackers, bread crumbs, better pastas, FLOUR TORTILLAS, various flours (manioc-brazilian kind like a Chebe), quick & easy mixes... and more. Enjoy Life Foods has several things in the works, so keep your eyes open!
Also, Scott mentioned the difference with the Enjoy Life Foods manufacturing and the Perky's... Enjoy Life Foods facility is free of the gluten and the top allergens and Perky's, is gluten and nut free, but not made in an allergen free facility.
Here is some information from the man himself:
Enjoy Life Foods products are formulated to be gluten-free and free of the 8 most common allergens. Our products are manufactured in a dedicated gluten-free and nut-free bakery. Our ingredient suppliers are required to complete non-contamination certificates. Ingredients are additionally tested for casein, gluten , peanut , and soy protein. Equipment is cleaned thoroughly after product and flavor changes. Enjoy Life employees understand the severity of food allergies and intolerances, and take every precaution to protect our customers.
Finding safe, gluten-free products just got easier! Look for the new GF symbol on food packaging. The GF symbol identifies products that are free of gluten and possible cross-contamination.
Who came up with such a brilliant idea? The Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO), a program of the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG). The GFCO uses the highest standards for gluten-free ingredients and safe processing environments. In fact, its standards exceed the requirements of current government laws and regulations.
Enjoy Life is proud to be the first food manufacturer to be certified by the GFCO supervision program. We are happy to provide the extra convenience and safety assurance this certification brings.
To learn more about the GFCO please visit, http://www.gfco.org.
tree nuts
Also made without other common triggers of intolerance:
corn, casein, potato, sulfites or sesame.
We really enjoyed sampling his products, listening to the history of the company, finding out what they are going to come up with next and of course, making suggestions for things we would like to see in the future!
Thanks to Whole Foods on Ashland www.wholefoods.com for their support in letting us use their meeting room to host our New Year Kickoff!

Swinging in the Rain
Cecil Adams answers the age old question:
Why do worms crawl out onto the sidewalk after it rains?
(Via Fark)
Why do worms crawl out onto the sidewalk after it rains?
Sure, worms are hermaphroditic, having both male and female organs. Not wanting to sensationalize this, I quote from the encyclopedia: "Two worms mate with their heads pointed in opposite directions." You thought only we humans had a sexual practice like this. Uh-uh, bub. Us and the worms. Getting back to business. "Both worms secrete mucus, covering each other with a 'slime tube'. . . . Sperm are released and carried in grooves, now formed into tubes by the adjoining slime-covered worm, to the sperm receptacles of the partner. The worms then separate. Later [each worm] secretes a mucous ring, which slides forward over the worm's body, gathering several eggs from the oviducts and sperm from the receptacles as it does. Fertilization takes place within the mucous ring, which slips off the front of the worm, closing at both ends to form a capsule," from which one or two worms hatch a few weeks later.

I've long had a problem with the number of 'kolpac' players in English County Cricket.
Durham are playing Somerset: http://content.cricinfo.com/countycricket2009/engine/current/match/382918.html
with a grand total of four English-born players, with two who are born elsewhere but are/will be eligible for England.
Now the whole eligibility thing makes all this difficult, especially regarding Ireland.
I think 'over-seas' players should be anyone not qualified to play for England in their next game. Maybe some arrangement could be worked out so Scottish and Irish players could play as home-grown players, but not all these Kolpacs.
As an Essex supporter I have a vested interest in maybe non-Test nations not counting, so that Dutch, Danish etc. could play County Cricket thereby getting some of the exposure which should hopefully help them develop. Of course Ten Doeschate is 'Dutch' thereby getting out of this, but Grant Flower being Zimbabwean would count as foreign.

Junior Editor in Chief
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
By J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany, and Jack Thorne
Published by Scholastic, Inc
The famous fictional wizard is a beloved childhood--and adulthood--staple that is most known for his seven-book long fight against the Dark Lord Voldemort. His story is one that ended happily, or at least that's what readers were led to believe.
In a new play, "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child," it's revealed that the Chosen One is really just like everyone after all. An overworked employee at the Ministry of Magic, Harry struggles to connect with his second son and middle child, Albus.
His only solace is his best friend Scorpius--who happens to be the son of Harry's enemy, Draco Malfoy. Together, the pair have an adventure that brings to mind the escapades of the trio that consisted of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley.
Fans of the original series have often wondered about their favorite hero and the magical world in which he lives. Although, the creation of the website of Pottermore has helped satisfy some of those thirsts for further knowledge, many still asked for another story.
Perhaps that is why so many have given "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" a bad name. They wanted another book and instead got a script that isn't even written by their favorite author.
They argue that the classic characters are too different and that the plot is flat. But what these fans fail to recognize is that they are expecting too much from the play. By many of the standards that they have set, it would be nearly impossible for anyone, including Rowling herself, to write exactly what all of them want.
Instead of being disappointed, I decided to keep an open mind, especially about the story being in script form. I usually hate plays, especially of the Shakespearean sort, but I realized that "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" is a continuation of a story that I've loved for well over half my life and it deserved a chance.
So I read it. And, honestly, I loved it. Don't get me wrong, it will never be on the same level as the series and I probably won't be rereading it soon. It's a quick read and, sure, a little awkward without all of the play's special effects.
Regardless, it's a great story. The plot is original and was nothing that I expected before reading it. The trouble that Albus and Scorpius get themselves into is genuinely surprising and somehow completely different than anything Harry had ever done in his youth, and kept me reading until I had finished the entire thing.
I strongly recommend "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" to all avid Potterheads. It's a new kind of adventure that readers have not experienced before. All they need to do is give it a chance.

Angela was now in a fairly big leather bag which was closed tightly. The goblins were making a strange kind of dance around the bag, in celebration of catching their very first human.
Although Angie could not see a thing except pitch black darkness, she could hear quite well.
A goblin who despite his old age was a very trustworthy priest to them spoke up," We have caught a human! We can now use her to test Mr Wisegoblin's potions. We can start tomorrow, just after the flying ceremony where everyone here will have the power to fly, thanks to our newly stolen gem!"
Every single one of them started cheering at once.
Angie realised that the goblins had indeed the most treasured possession of the fairies!
After a few hours the goblins left the room with the girl in it, probably going for a rest. It was already 2pm!She only had an hour to get out of there!
Luckily, Angie still had her phone, she dialed a number," Hey, Will, do you know where the dark caves are?" she asked.
Thanks for reading! 🙂

The ghosts of 1964 are coming 'round tonight
Ain't no one gonna keep them down
When three in Mississippi die
It was supposed to be the Freedom Summer
Three guys working in the South
Chaney, Goodman and Schwerner
Edgar Killen went looking to rid the world of their kind
They got no business in his town
No room for a black man's rights
A Baptist preacher and member of the KKK
Venom spewing from his mouth
He believed in the Word, he'd say
Trial of his peers, 11-1 favored his conviction
One woman couldn't condemn a preacher
I wonder, she sleep without a prescription?
41 years to the day of their deaths, a hell of a lot of time
Waiting to see him sitting in a cell
For the depth and pain of his crime?
The ghosts of 1964 will make Killen pay a price
Years passed by their deaths
But Killen's gonna lose this fight
Cause one day…he's gonna die.
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" – George Santayana

My Name is Rio
I have no idea if this will be funny to anyone but those of us who are on this trip, BUT-- the video below is of a guy on our trip who is amazing at impersonating people. Here he is impersonating our Argentinian student leader and I assure you it's dead on. Since the way he talks is funny in its own right, and a lot of you are bored at work, enjoy.
Never ever ever fly Varig.
I love it here love it here love it here.
All is well in Buenos Aires, my new favorite city. Two words, people: cheap beef. Make that three words: cheap delicious beef. It´s quite beautiful here, and the people are lovely. My one complaint is I´ve had very little time to enjoy it as the business portion of this trip is quite time consuming. However, I am officially done with meetings, though I´m spending the next day and a half away from the city at Iguazu Falls. Then I´m back for a day and a half jam packed with shopping and sightseeing, and then possibly off to Sao Paolo. For those of you following the news, we are supposedly still going and are assured that everything´s fine there now. However, given our love of Buenos Aires and our desire to extend our stay, is it bad I´m secretly wishing for riots?
I was only a little sad to leave
First of all, I actually learned to appreciate the game. I sat between a Brazilian and an Englishman who explained the finer points and I have to admit getting a bit sucked in by the action (I now maybe prefer soccer to hockey, whereas before they were just the two 'I'd rather put a fork in my eye than watch an entire game' sports tied in the basement of my sports fandom). But more importantly, a stadium full of celebrating Argentinians is something I will never forget. People were setting off fireworks and these smoke things in the team colors all over the stands. The fans sang through the entire pre-game festivities, the game itself, and the lengthy post-game celebration, and unfurled flags which covered entire sections and played drums. It was the most incredible group of fans I've ever seen in my life.
Side note- our Argentinian host told us not to eat anything in the stadium, but since all I had to eat at that point was a cookie, a bag of candy, and two beers, I ate a sausage sandwich. This is why you get the Hep A and Typhoid vaccinations and the 'just in case' Cipro prescription, right?

I'm still in Santiago, and today was our first 'free' day, which means it's the first day I got to sleep past 8. This was quite welcome as yesterday we were out until 3:30 am (again). I am quite enamored with the local liquor 'pisco' and the 'piscola' particularly, mixing it with coke (or Coca Light in my case). Side note-- when you buy a mixed drink here, they generally give you a glass with ice and about two shots of liquor in it, and then a bottle of soda on the side. It's up to you to mix it, and there's nothing watered down about them.
I can't seem to find the cord to get pictures off my camera onto the computer, which is unfortunate because I already have quite a few priceless photos. Today we went to the Concha Y Toro winery, which is gorgeous and included a very nice tasting. We then went to the country house of our Chilean leader's family. We have three student leaders on this trip, each one a native of a country we're visiting. Nicholas, the leader of this trip, invited us to his family's country house for an 'asado', a very fancy bar b que. So far, I've had beef down here twice, and both times it's been some of the best I've ever had.
Greetings from Santiago, Chile, a town that looks so much like Southern California, I keep forgetting to speak Spanish (er...).
I'm sitting in beautiful Fisher Library (not as beautiful as the 80 degree day outside-- side note, Spring is ridiculous. I really enjoyed my first wave of seasons, but what no one warned me about was the fact that Spring appears overnight, particularly the leaves. Branches that were bare two weeks ago are fully cloaked, and it's really beautiful.) studying for my last final as a first year. I've been reflecting a bit on the things I've learned academically this year, since officially the next hour and ten minutes constitutes the last academic learning I'll do until September.
Here are some things/phrases that are new in my life:
Time value of money: This is why you make your subletters pay you for the full summer up front. Note: I did not do this because I was desperate to get anyone in. Second note: My subletter was briefly a drummer for Blood, Sweat and Tears, the first band I ever saw in concert. By 'concert' I mean my parents took me to an office complex near our house and BS&T was playing there for some sort of picnic. I think I was seven. I do know that when the 'Personics' system came out, basically prehistoric iTunes which let you buy selected singles and 'burn' them onto a cassette, "Spinning Wheel" was on my tape.
Credible signal: What's crazy about this term is how we learned it in what seemed to be one of our most useless classes (naturally, one of my favorites), and now we use it all the time in all of our classes. Here, I'll use it in a sentence for those of you non-MBA types: "I have a crush on Steve, so I got a tattoo of his name on my hip to credibly signal my interest."
Bar: No, not that kind of bar. The bar you put over a number to show it's the mean. Like 'x bar'. It's how we split the check at B-school.
Extreme consumption smoothers: One aspect of macro (the test I'm studying for now) that I love. In every problem, the people earn their wages in apples, and they live a two period life. I think "Extreme Consumption Smoothers" is the greatest punk band name ever (have I done this bit already? Sorry, guys), and I think Two Period Life is the perfect debut album title.
Poisson distribution: vs. normal distribution. Though this has nothing to do with fish, my co-head-writer and I have vowed to use the "Le Poisson" song from little mermaid to ridicule OPIM. And as my friend likes to say, "Poisson is for suckers."
OK, seriously, that's enough procrastination. My post title is the Mike Doughty song I can't stop listening to. Those of you who watch Veronica Mars will remember it from the "Our love is epic" scene.
Is it too much to ask for the Dodgers to win one freaking game? I get post-game alerts after each one, and it's bringing me down.

This paradox is a central tenant of our Lutheran confession of faith. Historically it is described in terms of the theology of the cross (God's way) and the theology of glory (our way). One theologian has expressed the difference between these two theologies in this way:
The theology of glory seeks to know God directly in his obviously divine power, wisdom, and glory; whereas the theology of the cross paradoxically recognizes him precisely where he has hidden himself, in his sufferings and in all that which the theology of glory considers to be weakness and foolishness. The theology of glory leads humans to stand before God and strike a bargain on the basis of his or her ethical achievement in fulfilling the Law, whereas the theology of the cross views humans as being called to suffer. The cross of humans destroys their self-confidence so that now, instead of wanting to do something, they allow God to do everything for them. Such a person has been led from moralistic activism to pure receptivity.
Several questions are bound up in this distinction between the theology of the cross and a theology of glory: Where can I find God? How do I know if God is present and acting in my life? Why is there suffering in the world? Is God present and acting in my life even when I don't feel that He is? My church doesn't seem to be growing; are we doing something wrong, has God abandoned us? These are common questions, and perhaps you have asked them yourself. The theology of the cross assures us that God is present and acting for our good in the ways and places that He has promised to – in His Word, His Baptism, and His Supper. The efficacy of these means do not depend upon us: they do not depend upon how good or bad we have been, upon the strength of our faith, nor upon our emotions or how we feel. The Means of Grace (Word and Sacraments) depend upon God's Word and promise alone; they accomplish that for which God instituted them and that which He promised because of Him and His promise alone, and that fully despite ourselves. The theology of the cross is an altogether different paradigm for how we view God and His work. It is altogether unlike that which we humans would think. The answer to these questions is always a paradox. God hides Himself in humble, common, weak, and foolish means and persons so that He might reveal Himself to us as a God of deep, profound and perfect sacrificial love, mercy, and forgiveness.
Christians are tempted to force God into compliance with our (fallen) expectations. In effect, we are guilty of the First Commandment, of setting up for ourselves (creating) an idol, a false god, whom we call the true God, a God that conforms to our expectations. We think that a church where God is present must be large and full and rich in programs and money and that a small, struggling church that remains steadfast to unpopular, but faithful, biblical doctrines (that homosexuality, abortion, sex outside of marriage, women's ordination, works righteousness are sinful and wrong) is surely a church that God has abandoned. We think that we must experience and feel God present in us and in our worship in order to be certain that He is present, while God calls us to trust that He is present and working for our good, not because of our emotions, but because of His promise alone. We think that bread and wine, water, and word are nice traditions, if you like that sort of thing, but believe that God must be accessible in other, more impressive ways, and not confined to only these unimpressive and seemingly dead rites. Indeed, no man can confine God, but God confines Himself to Word and Sacraments, not to limit Himself, but to assure us, unconditionally, that He is truly present with His gifts of forgiveness, life and salvation that we may not search around aimlessly, but receive them in all confidence, boldness, and certainty. Repent. The attitudes and outlooks here described were the same held by those who rejected God's plan of salvation in Jesus Christ so long ago, and they are held by those reject it still today.
In complete contrast to the theologian of Glory, the theologian of the Cross believes that:
1. God's ways are paradoxical and hidden to human reason;
2. God's favor is manifested in Jesus, in particular, His suffering, death and resurrection;
3. God is pleased only by Jesus.
The theology of Glory and the theology of the Cross are mutually exclusive. They are two completely different ways of understanding God. One is false, the other is true. One leads to death, the other to life. Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it" (Matthew -25). Ultimately, the theology of the cross is about sacrifice, humility, and a complete emptying of one's self. This is what God displayed in His sacrificial giving of Himself, the body and blood of His Son Jesus, on the cross. By losing His life, He saved it, for us. We, as God's dear children, are called to sacrifice ourselves, our selfish wants and desires, and our self-righteousness – to crucify our selves and die, that we might receive God's gift of life and salvation in Jesus Christ. It's all about Him (theology of the cross). It's not about us (theology of glory).
God is truly worshiped and praised when we receive, accept, and believe what He has done and is doing in His way, not our way, and empty ourselves, sacrifice ourselves for others, and therefore, for Him. We worship God in humble submission to His ways, confessing our sins and receiving His gifts in Word and Sacraments. We praise and glorify God, not in words and hymns that bespeak our expectation of how glorious, awesome, and mighty He is, but in words and songs that proclaim His glory in His ways, though humility, sacrifice, and self-giving love.
Indeed, our God is an awesome God – just, not in the way we sinful men would think. Let us take up our crosses and follow Him in His Way, which is also Life and Truth, His sacrificial, Suffering Servant and Son, Jesus Christ. To God alone be all glory, power, and honor in and through Jesus Christ.

- Firefox will start limiting flash content from August
- Mozilla says browser will keep Flash off by default starting 2017
- Mozilla says new steps taken to enhance security and reduce crashes
(Also see: Google Details Plans to Start Blocking Flash in Chrome This Year)
In its note, Mozilla acknowledged the role of Flash in providing video and interactive content on Web but said that it often introduces stability, performance, and security issues for browsers and therefore it becomes a necessity to introduce these changes.
It added that these changes will result in enhanced security, improved battery life, faster page load, and better browser responsiveness for the users. It even claimed that blocking certain Flash content will result in reductions in hangs and crashes by up to 10 percent.
The browser company also advised websites that currently use Flash or Silverlight for video or games to plan on adopting HTML technologies as soon as possible. Mozilla has said that it will, however, continue to work with Adobe to improve the Flash experience, whenever the plugin will be enabled on its browser.
This is not the first step Mozilla has taken towards reducing usage of Flash in its browser. Back in July last year, following a major vulnerability being found in Flash, blocked all versions of the Web plugin by default.

Dear President Ford,
So now it appears, according to Bob Woodward, that you disagreed with the White House's entire Iraq war policy as early as July 2004 but didn't want your feelings known till after your death.
Thanks a lot Gerald.
If this is offensive, pardon me President Ford. It just feels like another case of the Republican "good ole boy" thing where it would have been more important for you to stay silent on behalf of the "cheney-of-command" than to speak up for the country.
Perhaps you were afraid that in voicing your true opinions you were going to have to pay the price that others did just months before?
The more I think about it the more my blood boils. Your voice, a couple of years ago could have possibly changed the course of this bloody mess we are in.
Well it's not all bad Gerald. At least you married well.

its called class. go get some.
Liberal or Conservative it shouldn't matter, Ford knows how tough being the leader of the free world is. Pres. Carter acts like some offended school girl and nobody listens to him anymore. Pres.Clinton sure didn't???
I guarantee you that when Pres. Ford called up a successor president, even a mild comment like "i am concerned about..." is listened to.
I suspect that if President Ford had some actual constructive proposition about Iraq we'd have that on the table now...
Think about it...

Battle In The Bay
Just five days removed from an overtime battle that took place in Oklahoma City, the Thunder make a trip to Oracle Arena to face off against the Warriors.
The Thunder have had two games since the last matchup to remove the dagger that Steph Curry buried deep in their chest. Unfortunately, they are coming off of a collapse against the Clippers last night.
The Warriors on the other hand have had one game since the prior meeting, which was another overtime victory. That game against Atlanta saw the Warriors win without Curry and Andre Iguodala.
At this time both Curry and Iguodala are listed as questionable for tonight's game. It seems unlikely that they would miss this game though. Not only is it a chance to assert their dominance in the Western Conference, but also a win matches the record most consecutive home game wins by a team. This Warriors team has talked all season about how they want to break records, so it figures they will try to break this one as well.
The Thunder on the other side have a lot riding on this game. First off, they are more than likely aware of the streak and would love to ruin that. Second, they would love to show that they can beat the top team in the NBA. Lastly, they only have a 1.5 game cushion over the Clippers for the 3rd seed.
The Thunder have not been shy about their lackluster performance since the all-star break. They have struggled not in terms of overall stat production, but in ability to control a game. Poor decisions have lead to too many turnovers. Defense has been subpar as far as this team is concerned. All of these things need to change as the playoffs draw near if this team will have any chance to advance in the playoffs. Tonight is their night to prove they are still relevant.
The Warriors have had some close encounters, but have proven that when the game is on the line, their stars are better than yours. Whether it is Steph Curry sinking 12 3-pointers, including a 32 footer for the win, or Draymond Green making a 3-pointer while doing some awkward jump shot. Their team chemistry is seemingly unmatched by any team in the league, except maybe the Spurs.
If the Thunder plan to win tonight in The Oracle Arena, they are going to need to play both fast and physical. This is what allowed them to get in the Warriors heads the last time they met. The key to them playing fast is that they (mainly Westbrook) need to play in their means and under control.
When all is said and done, the Warriors will have the desire and the heart to keep their streak alive at home.

Thank you to Ajaytao 2010 @ http://ajaytao2010.wordpress.com for this award. He is a person who inspires me a lot, and our small debates often lead me to knowing something I did not before. His blogs are creative and inspirational to many, he is very popular for a reason. He said to me once "We are all equal" and I know what he means. But I will just say this, sometimes people can inspire and teach more than others, so they deserve more praise. I don't like flattery, since I came here I changed flattery to inspiring people. If you don't already follow Ajaytao's blog, please do. He is a special blogger and a wonderful person (And I know he will hate me saying this) 🙂 But it is true
There are no rules here. You must choose any amount of blogs to nominate as you wish. I checked and yes, no rules. So I will just go and nominate a few blogs from people in my short time here who have inspired me to keep blogging or been there when I needed a kind word. So that is what I will do. THIS IS A BIG AWARD TO GET!! And I am humbled
I now nominate: (Envelope please)
1. PERSPECTIVES @ http://pifuk67.wordpress.com/ – A person who inspires me a lot. He has his issues like us all, he deals wit them well. Great guy
2. Bishop Eddie Tatro's Pulpit @ http://bishoptatro.wordpress.com/ – A man who teaches, but does not preach. A great friend also
3. willowdot21 @ http://willowdot21.wordpress.com/ – New (Kinda) to me here, but the short time we have spoken, has made me laugh and cry. Great person
4. And That's All She Wrote! @ http://michelledicken.wordpress.com/ – A woman, from the USA who I share a life story with. Amazing woman.
5. ramanda429 @ http://ramanda429.wordpress.com/ – A young woman with a young family, she inspires me with her will and her way of dealing with life
6. knocked over by a feather @ http://knockedoverbyafeather.wordpress.com/ – Honest and fun, makes me laugh like no other. Blogs well and has fun through pain.
7. From the Fog @ http://fromthefog.me/ – Like me he is in pain, but is a fighter and inspires me so much!! This was easy to nominate
These 7 people I have got to know a little more over time. The way they write is amazing, but also the way they are as people inspires me. With a few of them, the way they have dealt with life in adversity amazes me. They are strong, they just get on with it, and STILL have time to give others a kind word. The story I share with one is as unreal as a Hollywood movie, she is an inspiration in many ways. One is dealing with a family issue and dealing well and sharing his story with us all, very inspirational. Another is a young woman with a young family, brilliant writer and dealing with things well, she also has time to have a kind word. One man here is teaching me about God, but at my pace and does not preach or go to fast, and he does so while dealing with his issues, and gives free time to people even though sometimes he can't. That is inspiration!
I could have nominated 100 people here, but I picked these 7 people. I award many when I receive an award. Today I award these 6 amazing people. I hope they accept this award.

2017 Annual Report
Technology Services
Our Values
Today, integrating technology into classroom instruction means more than just teaching basic skills and software programs in a computer class. Effective tech integration must happen across the curriculum in ways that deepen and enhance the learning process. In particular, it must support four key components of learning: active engagement, participation in groups, frequent interaction and feedback, and connection to real-world experts. Technology helps change the student/teacher roles and relationships: students take responsibility for their learning outcomes, while teachers become guides and facilitators. Technology lends itself as the multidimensional tool that assists that process. For economically disadvantaged students, the school may be the only place where they will have the opportunity to use a computer and integrate technology into their learning. There is a growing body of evidence that technology integration positively affects student achievement and academic performance. When used in collaborative learning methods and leadership that is aimed at improving the school through technology planning, technology impacts achievement in content area learning, promotes higher-order thinking and problem solving skills, and prepares students for the workforce.
At the board level, employees are integrating Google products to work better, together, through the collaboration of Google Team Drives, Google Drives, Google Communities, and more. We have also adopted a new digital library powered by OverDrive, to service students, parents and teachers; with more than 13,000 books checked out in one year. Some classrooms also have digital backpacks. The digital backpack program is designed to modernize learning by putting emphasis on how students learn, while allowing access to grade level content in a way that students understand what they are learning.
Spotlight – Connecting Through Technology
By the Numbers
The role that technology has played in our schools has been quite impactful. The widespread adoption of devices has completely changed how teachers teach, and how students learn. Teachers are learning how to incorporate emerging technologies into their lessons (tablets, iPads, Smart Boards, robots, computers), while students are using advanced technology to shape how they learn. By embracing and integrating technology in our classrooms, we are setting our students up for a successful life outside of school.
Digital Backpacks
Students in one grade 8 classroom in both Riverside Public School and Jack Callaghan Public School have been provided with devices that work as a laptop and tablet. The digital backpack program is possible through a partnership with Nelson, and is designed to modernize learning by putting emphasis on how students learn while allowing access to grade level content in the way that students understand what they are learning. The device includes an interactive pen as well. Installed apps include textbooks and other resources such as Dreambox, a mathematics learning tool, as well as assistive technology for students with different learning needs.
"Technology has helped me to collaborate with junior teachers in my community and internationally. We joined The Global Monster Project STEM learning program in the fall and connected with a school in Russia. Both our classes communicated with each other. I am still in contact with a professor in Maryland and a teacher in Russia and plan on working together with our students in a collaborative STEM project next year. I have come to use Google Classroom daily and my students are very confident submitting their work and receiving feedback through Google. The DLC Chromebooks were used daily in class across all subjects."
"The students are able to select the appropriate digital tool to present their research or completed assignment in a variety of ways. The students are able to present their work on Google slides, Mindomo Mind Maps, Google Drawing, Pixton and Google Docs. Many students ensure they make use of the Read and Write technology to help them be more successful with their writing assignments and use this tool to help them edit their work. Some of the students are beginning to collaborate with peers to help "bump up" their work by listening to texts and giving positive feedback and giving suggestions how to improve stories and research assignments."
There are Secondary Technology Champions at each secondary school in TLDSB. These individuals are provided with a touchscreen Chromebook and attend meetings throughout the year to discuss and share technology-enabled teaching and learning. These teachers support the Technology Services Department through peer-to-peer learning at their schools and promote initiatives and instructional methods using technology. Secondary Champions use communication and collaboration to support their colleagues.
With the help of our Secondary Integrated Learning Champions, we have seen large scale improvements in the embracing of the use of technology in classrooms. This initiative provides opportunity within the school for new learning partnerships focussed on the sharing of effective and innovative teaching practices through the use of technology.
Student Coding in Action
Coding has seen a lot of success with staff and students learning how to use websites such as Scratch and Code.org. Schools have been provided with Dash and Dot robots, mBot robots, Makey Makey kits, and micro:bits. Chromebooks and iPads are provided to students to help support this learning. The website http://tldsb.ca/coding is a resource to help staff and students embrace coding.

The Italians are aiming to finish off the job they started in Holland last week…
Juventus One Foot In The Last 16
Juventus will know the emphasis will be on Ajax to play their game in Turin following the 2-1 win at the Amsterdam Arena last Thursday. Miralem Sulejmani gave Gianluigi Buffon a nightmare start in goal following with left-foot strike in the first half. But Juventus pulled themselves together and a double strike from Amauri, his fourth and fifth goals of the season, saw the tie swing in favour of the Italians.
Under Alberto Zaccheroni, Juve have enjoyed a positive run and they are unbeaten since he took over from Ciro Ferrara. Zaccheroni faced Ajax in Europe when he was at Udinese during the 1997-98 season. His side crashed out on away goals by losing 1-0 in Holland after winning the first leg in Italy 2-1.http://ad.doubleclick.net/adi/gna.en/level2;tile=4;sz=160×600;ord=927262?area=2l&pos=2&
While many suggested Juventus would be snubbing the Europa League in favour of Champions League qualification next season, goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has made it clear his side will do everything to send Ajax packing.
"We will try to close the discourse against Ajax on Thursday after we earned a nice win in the previous leg," he told his official website.
"We are really interested in doing well in the Europa League. Winning always gives you motivation and this is good for us as we have a series of tough games in Serie A following that."
Ajax Have It All To Do
Ajax have been impressive domestically, with a 10-game unbeaten run across the Eredivisie and Dutch Cup, but they have lost their last two games in the Europa League. Apart from last week's defeat to Juventus, Martin Jol's team also lost against Belgian side Anderlecht on December 17. It's a trend they need to reverse if they are to cause the Italians an upset.
They will head to Turin full of confidence having beaten Vitesse 4-0 at the weekend to maintain the pressure at the top of the league. Danger man Sulejmani was rested for the game so he could be in optimum condition against the Old Lady. Siem De Jong, who was outstanding against Juve last week, came off just before the hour mark of the Vitesse win, suggesting Jol will field his strongest side.
The Lancers will be all pumped up as they have never beaten Juventus in Italy and they will want to make history, as well as seal their passage to the next round. Whoever goes through here will face either Fulham or Shakhtar Donetsk in March.

Team News
Juventus: Hasan Salihamdizic is suspended following his late red card in the first leg. Vincenzo Iaquinta, Christian Poulsen, Sebastian Giovinco and Martin Caceres are all out.
Probable Starting XI: Buffon; Grygera, Legrottaglie, Chiellini; De Ceglie, Sissoko, Melo, Marchisio; Diego; Del Piero, Amauri
Ajax: Thimothee Atouba and Rasmus Lindgren are both unavailable due to injury, while Luis Suarez is suspended after his yellow card in the first leg. Gabri is match fit again and could return to the squad.
Probable Staring XI: Stekelenburg; Van der Wiel, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Anita; De Zeeuw, Enoh, De Jong; Sulejmani, Pantelic, Emanuelson.
Players To Watch
Amauri ( Juventus)
The Brazilian was a nightmare for the Ajax defence last week, and he will be another hassle for them following his return to form. Amauri has often struggled in front of goal this season. Prior to his goal against Genoa two weeks ago, he hadn't scored since October 2009. Before his strikes against Ajax, he last bagged in Europe against Real Madrid in the Champions League in October 2008.
Marko Pantelic (Ajax)
The Serbian hitman is Ajax's second top scorer this season with eight goals. Suarez will be missed as he has scored 24 this term, but it's now down to Pantelic to get the job done in Turin.
The Bianconeri are starting to rediscover their strength and they will offer no contest to Ajax. Expect the Italians to close the tie in Turin comfortably and without too much trouble. But they need to be aware of the Dutch threat on the break. Juve struggled against quick counter-attacks in Amsterdam, and thus they need to ensure they do not give the ball away needlessly.
Juventus 2-0 Ajax

Another recruit dropped out today. It was his first day as class sergeant and he couldn't take it. I don't blame him. At one point during the day JT tried to talk to him but he said he didn't want to talk and that he was fine. Then an hour or so later he left, turned in all his stuff and next thing the class knew they were down to ten.
JT and his classmates are concerned they might close the academy due to the low enrollment and they'll all have to wait until the next class in November. JT would still be employed at his department but I don't know what the independent guys would do until then.
I went out with two of those guys' wives. These women are amazing--they probably get less sleep than I do and still manage to work forty-hour weeks. Their husbands are military veterans and they were supposed to be getting support from the government. But they're not! One of the girls said she'd write an angry letter to the President, if she could find the time or the energy.
We commiserated over drinks and then went to see "Dinner for Schmucks." I laughed a lot but it's that uncomfortable kind of humor, where you're laughing at something that's really sad. Still, after that movie and the good company and conversation, I felt like my anxieties and frustrations had melted away and I could go home whole to my husband and Jedi Youngling.

A look at micro markets in Bay Area housing
"It all depends if you see the glass as half empty or as half full."
Since the real estate market has become a cauldron of bubble theorists battling with real estate believers, the half-full, half-empty glass has emerged as the cliche du jour to explain the controversy as just a matter of perception.
You say correction, I say implosion, let's call the whole thing off. But such general world views don't get us terribly far in understanding the actual market.
The broad market indicators and median price statistics are similarly misleading.
For many people the current real estate market isn't about half a glass of anything. Rather, some people are holding leaking real estate cups (with fast-draining equity or houses they can't sell) while other cups still overflow with boom-time profits. That's how real estate agents can write me every week testifying to their booming business while others confess to feeling like the floor is caving underneath their feet.
Both are true.
So I thought this week I would focus on the details of a Bay Area real estate market which seems to refract as many shifting pictures as a child's kaleidoscope.
I was interested in micro markets -- both in terms of price point, location and housing type (newer developments or older neighborhoods, lofts or classical Victorians).
What markets were still strong? Which were hurting? And what did this tell us about the economy as a whole?
I'd heard for months that one of the strongest regional markets has been Tiburon and Belvedere, those lovely luxury villages clutching the north bay coastline. As compared with September of 2005, this past September saw a 3.7 percent increase in sales volume and a whopping 24.2 percent rise in the median price.
But what does this really tell us? Were Belvedere and Tiburon, long two of the toniest towns west of the Mississippi, undergoing their own elite form of gentrification?
Yes and no.
According to David Kirchhoff of Fine Homes Marin, many of the older homes have been gutted or razed to build custom-designed luxury abodes, raising the overall value of the two waterfront towns. But it's also that Tiburon and Belvedere -- with median home prices around 1.8 million -- represent a relatively homogenous market compared to Mill Valley with homes that range from the $600,000s to several million.
"The prime markets are doing very, very well," explained Kirchhoff, who has been an agent in the area for 20 years. "We have a lot of homes between $2 (million) and $5 million and that market just hasn't been affected as much. The buyers aren't as affected by interest rates, since they often buy with cash. And they aren't as affected by the economy."
In fact, all across Marin County, the $2 million to $5 million market has been healthier than many other segments of the market, although there are signs that buyers are wanting more for their money.
According to MLS Data, sales for that segment of the market have only gone down 15 percent since 2005 (when it reported record sales volume) and prices are up 3 percent. Within the county, the strongest market was Sausalito which saw 153 percent more sales in $2 million to $5 million homes and a 12 percent rise in price per square foot.
Basically, the axiom that the rich are getting richer proves especially true in this era of real estate appreciation and tax break abundance. And for now, they are still willing to spend beaucoup bucks to live on some of the world's most gorgeous coastlines. "In Marin the market is phenomenal in the sense of its sustainability," said Kirchhoff.
Indeed the price point he works with has exploded over the past five years. In 2001 there were only 19 sales of homes between $2 million and $5 million. During the first 10 months of this year there have been 227 and the price per square foot has soared 42 percent.
Do these rosy numbers portend dark clouds in the future? It's hard to say but if the available inventory offers any indication, things won't be changing drastically in the next couple of months.
Kirchhoff says the limited inventory -- amounting to about three and a half months of expected sales -- is too small to allow for extreme changes. "A 3.5 month market is getting toward a shortage," he said. "I think the only thing that could significantly change this market would be a worldwide depression or an externality like terrorism."
Are other parts of Marin faring so well? It's hard to say. As of September 2006, Novato had experienced substantial price declines and plummeting sales volumes. But since it currently only has about two months of inventory, perhaps prices will stabilize.
The stabilizing influence of limited inventory isn't present in all parts of the Bay Area however. In Napa County, for instance, inventory is running much higher with some areas showing a whopping 10 months worth. Last month, the county posted a 8.7 percent decline in the median price.
Indeed, in many markets around the Bay Area the numbers can be as difficult to read as tea leaves. Even within a single city, they can seem to contradict one another.
In Redwood City, for instance, changes in sales volume and median prices vary radically depending on the ZIP code. As of Oct. 20, Redwood City's 94063, a diverse area which includes the prestigious Emerald Hills neighborhood, did brisk business with the median price up 11.4 percent since last October, according to DataQuick, a real estate information service.
On the other hand, the 94065 ZIP code, which has newer developments of townhouses, condos and a more homogeneous housing stock has seen median prices fall 14.0 percent. In some micro markets you might be able to chalk this up to an accident based on diversity of housing, but in a place where housing isn't terribly diverse, that isn't the case.
Why would this neighborhood be harder hit than others? Well, new construction developments have seen the sharpest price declines so it makes sense that a neighborhood that is nearly new might be competing for the same few buyers as the new housing. As developers continue to sweeten the pot for buyers (offering price reductions and incentives galore), no doubt other developer neighborhoods will tend to be affected by these declines.
Indeed, it seems that areas with unique houses fare the best -- perhaps because buyers know that if they find an unusual home that speaks to them they may not find it again even in a market that's trending downward.
As Tim Earley, agent with Coldwell Banker in Redwood City put it, "it's hard to put a finger on it; some houses are selling with multiple offers and others need a lot of price reductions and even that isn't doing it."
He recently saw two four-bedroom homes, both fixers within three blocks of one another in the same prized school district on nice streets that received two completely different reactions.
One -- smaller with a slightly better floor plan -- got three offers and sold for more than $100,000 over the asking price. The other -- larger, but with a more awkward floor plan -- attracted no buyers initially until one came in significantly below asking price.
Earley said nearly 30 percent of the active listings in Redwood City have had price reductions.
Numbers from San Francisco tell a similar story. As a whole the city has only seen a 13.6 percent decline in sales since last October.
But that doesn't give a fair picture of what's happening in the trenches. According to Alexander Clark, founder of sfnewsletter.com a customized newsletter service for real estate professionals, the market probably hardest hit by the new housing paradigm is the cookie cutter lofts in SOMA." Not the new loft developments but the ones that are all alike and a little older are selling the slowest," he says.
Clark says the market is becoming increasingly broken not into neighborhoods as much as into a tiny nano markets. "It's street by street and property by property," he says. "It used to be that anything would sell, now if a house is on a busy street or there's something odd about it, it may not have any buyers."
