Breakfast Challenge Launches!
|In School Meals, School Breakfast Program, PHFO
by Megan Taliaf
The second annual November School Breakfast Challenge launches on November 1, 2016! We're excited to announce that 98 schools are competing in the Challenge, more than a 200 percent increase from 2015! Participating schools represent communities across Oregon, including 29 school districts, 33 towns or cities, 18 counties and nearly 50,000 students. Check out our map to see which schools are involved!
The Let's Do Breakfast, Oregon! campaign promotes the School Breakfast Program because we know there are numerous benefits for kids when they eat breakfast at school.
Kids who eat breakfast at school are more likely to eat fruits, drink milk, get greater variety in their breakfast and have improved nutrition.
School breakfast protects kids and teens from hunger and allows all students to focus on their studies, instead of a growling stomach. Without school breakfast, many kids wouldn't eat a nutritious breakfast every morning.
Food is a powerful tool for uniting people and strengthening communities. School breakfast can be a way for peers, teachers, and staff to come together for a common purpose—breakfast!
Despite all of these benefits, the number of kids who eat school breakfast remains relatively low, both nationwide and in Oregon, due in large part to barriers like stigma, bus schedules, tardiness and lack of student awareness. The Breakfast Challenge uses the power of collaboration and a dash of healthy competition to encourage schools to tackle these challenges head on!
The four schools that see the greatest spike in average daily participation during the month of November will receive cash prizes in the amounts of $1,000, $750, $500 and $250 (as well as cool trophies and bragging rights).
One new component of the Challenge that we're excited about this year is an opportunity for teens, the Teen School Breakfast Essay Competition. Two essays will be selected to each win a $100 gift card! Participating schools can share contest instructions with their school today!
Good luck to all of those involved in the 2016 November Breakfast Challenge!
Follow #LetsDoBreakfastOregon! on social media to cheer on participating schools this November. Together we can create a hunger-free Oregon!
Shout-out to one of our 2015 Breakfast Challenge winners, Hines Middle School in Harney County School District. We're happy to have them competing in the Challenge again this year!

Former Redevelopment Agency, Successor Agency, and Oversight Board
In the last decade, the former City of East Palo Alto Redevelopment Agency had extraordinary success in developing and attracting 700,000 square feet of retail space; 435,000 square feet of class A office space; 281 market rate housing units; 174 affordable housing units; a luxury, five-star, 200-room, hotel; 2 acres of parks; 940 permanent retail jobs; and 1,500 permanent office jobs. All of this development occurred in the Gateway 101 and University Circle project areas.
These development projects transformed the urban fabric of East Palo Alto and brought the financial stability that allowed the city to continue its progress towards improving the quality of life for its residents.
On December 29, 2011, all redevelopment agencies in the State of California were dissolved. On January 10, 2012, the City Council created the Successor Agency and Successor Housing Agency. The effective date of assumption of duties was February 1, 2012. Click here for information on the Oversight Board.
Major Successes of the former Redevelopment Agency in its Project Areas
The East Palo Alto Redevelopment Agency established three redevelopment project areas in the City, The Ravenswood, The Gateway 101 and University Circle.
On January 10, 2012, the City Council adopted resolutions 4226 and 4227 confirming that the City of East Palo Alto would serve as Successor Agency and Successor Housing Agency respectively. The effective date of assumption of duties was February 1, 2012 which is consistent with dissolution date of the Redevelopment Agency per AB 1x 26.
Successor Agency and Oversight Board
In its capacity as Successor Agency, the city will:
Administer and staff the Oversight Board to the East Palo Alto's Former Redevelopment Agency (RDA) in accordance with statute
Continue to make enforceable obligation payments
Adoption of Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule as approved by the Successor Agency Oversight Board (OSB)
Dispose of, or transfer ownership of, assets of former RDA

Culinary Cares – No Kid Hungry: Share Our Strength
by Samantha Eichenberg
As a pastry chef I pride myself on the delicacies I create in my kitchen. Taking my ideas and dreams and turning them into realities. However, there is one thing that tops those feel good fuzzies for me, and that is taking my culinary skills and using them to make a difference in the world. That being said, let me tell you all about No Kid Hungry.
No Kid Hungry – Share Our Strength program began in 1984 and began the mission to end childhood hunger in America. Statistics today show that more than 16 million kids live in households that struggle to put food on their tables. Sadly, that is 1 in every 5 children that will go without a meal. No Kid Hungry has devoted its lively hood to help change those statistics.
In the time since the campaign was launched they have served up over 107 million additional meals to families in need, developed six different fundraising and awareness platforms, create educational programs to teach families about affordable healthy eating, and picked up countless volunteers and activist to keep the campaign going at all times.
This year No Kid Hungry will be a charity partner for the 2014 New York City Wine & Food Festival hosted by Food Network. 100% of net proceed will go directly to the No Kid Hungry campaign. So if you are a foodie and love some good eats, drinks and giving back then you should get your tickets now for the NYCWFF.
THE DESSERTIST has been a Chef Advocate for No Kid Hungry and will be a featured chef at the NYC Wine & Food Festival. Please join me in making a difference and ending childhood hunger.
To learn more about the No Kid Hungry Campaign and ways to get involved check them out at http://www.nokidhungry.org.

Here are some of our latest new construction listings. Contact us if you would like to be notified/emailed when we schedule our next "New Construction House Tour."
Finding a new home in the central St. Louis County area can often be quite a challenge. Land is no longer available so in order to build you first need to locate an existing home with tear down potential. This can be a daunting task for the average consumer. However new construction is alive and growing in the area thanks to a handful of wonderful experienced infill builders.
Unfortunately infill homes are often hard to locate when you do a search of the local MLS as they are traditionally added to the Residential listing category rather than listed as new construction so they are not always easy to identify. However we are more than happy to locate any and all properties that qualify. All you need to do is CONTACT US with your request.

Церковь Николая Чудотворца — приходской храм Коломенской епархии Русской православной церкви в селе Дарищи городского округа Коломна Московской области, построенный в 1810 году. Здание храма является объектом культурного наследия и находится под охраной государства. В настоящее время храм восстанавливается.

История строительства храма

Кирпичный храм во имя святого Николая Чудотворца был построен между 1803 и 1808 годами на пожертвования местных помещиков, братьев Дмитрия Любимовича и Бориса Любимовича Похвистневых, а также Петра Фёдоровича Норова. Священник церкви села Дарищи в 1809 году отправил митрополиту Платону «всепокорнейшее прошение», в котором сообщалось, что в 1803 году деревянный храм пришлось разобрать, оставив один придел, и построить новое каменное здание. В 1808 году только один престол церкви в честь Иоанна Воина был освящён. Священник просил деревянный придел продать, а вырученные средства направить на достройку каменной церкви. На этом прошении была резолюция: «По сему дозволить, на обжиг кирпича или на топку, с согласия прихожан». В 1810 году церковь была достроена и освящена. Основную часть храма составлял мощный куб, увенчанный световой ротондой с плоским куполом. Ротонда соединялась с четвериком ступенчатыми тромпами. С запада к главному холодному Никольскому храму, отделенному внутри стеклянной перегородкой, была пристроена теплая трапезная с двумя приделами (от неё сохранилась лишь восточная стена с алтарными углублениями): во имя мученика Иоанна Воина и великомученика Димитрия Солунского.

В конце XIX века настоятелем храма служил Сергий Птенцов, который основал в населённом пункте Новую школу грамоты для детей крестьян. В Дарищах он организовал церковно-приходскую школу. Храм постоянно обновлялся. Во второй половине XIX века на стенах храма была выполнена масляная роспись.

Последний священник этой церкви — Василий Вознесенский — принял мученический венец. 26 февраля 1938 года был расстрелян. В 1938 году храм был закрыли; алтарь, трапезную и колокольню сломали.

Современное состояние
В 1999 году руины Никольского храма были переданы верующим. Длительное время кирпичный свод купола стоял без крыши, стены и фрески осыпались. Последние годы начались активные работы по восстановлению церкви.

Никольский храм является памятником архитектуры регионального значения на основании постановления Правительства Московской области № 84/9 от 15 марта 2002 года.

Uneven front tyre wear with all Dusters..
Renault Duster owner for past one year. Run it for 10000 km and found inner most part of both front tyres have worn out. The alignment settings are perfect. This is a common problem with all dusters, some are not complaining and few are frequently doing their wheel rotation. When approached the dealer, they don't have a solution, and informed Renault and sent them the parameters past one month, not even a curtsy call from them. Few owners have approached the consumer court. This car has a negative camber angle with the front wheels which is unusual and may be causing the problem.

▪ Objective: To study how changes in gastric acidity induced by omeprazole and pentagastrin affect the absorption of unchanged digoxin and its hydrolytic breakdown products.
▪ Design: Double-blind, double-dummy, randomized, crossover study.
▪ Setting: Academic department of clinical pharmacology.
▪ Subjects: Six healthy male volunteers.
▪ Interventions: Subjects received digoxin, 1 mg orally, on three separate occasions: first, after pretreatment with omeprazole; second, after pretreatment with pentagastrin; and third, after "pretreatment" with placebo.
▪ Measurements: The in-vitro decomposition of digoxin was studied using a standard dissolution test. The urinary excretion of digoxin over a 120-hour period was measured using selective high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and a polarization enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Plasma concentrations were measured at 2 hours with the EIA.
▪ Main Results: Digoxin was rapidly released from the tablets in the in-vitro test. At acid pH, decomposition (as measured with HPLC) was rapid. Pentagastrin reduced the urinary excretion of unchanged digoxin, as measured by HPLC, from 34% to 21.4% of the dose (difference, - 12.6%; 95% Cl, - 23.5 to - 1.8; P < 0.05), whereas omeprazole increased urinary excretion to 47.4% (difference, 13.4%; 95 Cl, 2.5% to 24.4%; P < 0.05). However, such differences were not found with the nonselective polarization EIA.
< Conclusions: Our data suggest that gastric acidity causes the breakdown of digoxin to products that cross-react in the assay (EIA) that is commonly used clinically. In patients with reduced gastric acidity, increased plasma concentrations of unchanged digoxin may not be detected because of limitations of the EIA, which may invalidate the quantitative use of the plasma digoxin concentration as a predictor of digoxin toxicity. Omeprazole, and presumably other gastric-acid inhibitors, may increase the bioavailability of unchanged digoxin.

Enfield Council and Thames 21 have now published a more detailed version of their proposals for a wetlands scheme in Broomfield Park, designed to produce environmental benefits both locally and in the rivers Lea and Thames. There will be a consultation event in the park on 12th August or you can give your views online or by post.
The wetlands area would be at the southern end of the park, on part of the "top field" in the vicinity of the historic brick wall. It would consist of two interjoined "basins" or "cells" with a decking bridge over the connecting area.
The total area of the cells would be approximately 1500 square metres, equivalent to the five tennis courts. The water would be shallow - only 300 millimetres.
The wetlands would be created by diverting the flow from an underground surface water sewer, which flows beneath the park, draining a 40 hectare catchment to the north.
The ditch referred to here at one time ran alongside the north side of Powys Lane.
The area would be planted with reeds, marginal flowers and grasses, and the new habitat should attract amphibians, insects and birds.
an attractive and interesting area for visitors to the park.
The second of two drop-in consultations events will take place on Saturday 12th August (10am to 3pm near the Greenery cafe). Visitors will be able to fill in a questionnaire. Alternatively, visit this page on the council website and follow the links to download a detailed consultation document.
The closing date for responses is Friday 15 September 2017.
If you have any queries or require assistance to participate in this consultation, you can email and .
While we're on the subject of sustainable drainage schemes (SuDs) and flood alleviation, it's worth pointing out that the council's Structures and Watercourses Team will be in Town Park tomorrow (Thursday 3rd August) to discuss the proposed Enfield Town Flood Alleviation scheme.
They have a green gazebo (obviously) and will be there from Noon to 6pm. You can follow them on Twitter @EnfieldSuDS.
The Enfield Local Flood Risk Management Strategy was updated last year and can be found at new.enfield.gov...y-2016.pdf .

Teaching, The Education Fables
A Glossary of U.K. Education (Vol. 1)
July 1, 2017 jamestheo	15 Comments
Debates around education on social media can sometimes be hard to follow if you aren't well versed in the jargon of education in the U.K. With that in mind, we've produced this handy glossary of commonly-used terms.
/əˈkadəmʌɪˈzeɪʃ(ə)n/
1. the process in which a school undertakes a Faustian pact resulting in the handing over of its pupil data to Amazon, the selling of the school fields to Starbucks, and eternal damnation for all staff in exchange for better SATs/GCSE results.
2. the process in which a school merely alters a word on their signage and stationery.
/ˈtʃɪldrən/
small human beings cared about by progressives and hated by traditionalists.
/friː ˌskuːl/
evil, bloodsucking entity, set up to appease the greed of its vengeful ruler by educating the children of the local community.
Gove, Michael
/ɡəʊv ˌˈmaɪkəl/
pantomime villain, originally from Old English folklore where he is often depicted as having the body of a Tory MP and the head of an agitated baby; in many stories in which he features, Gove is vilified by the adults of the village for trying to give their children more knowledge.
Grüppwerk
/ɡruːpˈvəːk/
Kraftwerk tribute band marked by their performance style in which one of the members arranges all of the songs, plays all of the instruments and prepares all of the lighting, sound and stagecraft, whilst the rest of the band take the opportunity to muck about and do nothing.
/ˈləːnɪŋ ˌstʌɪlz/
antimicrobial resistent organism that continues to thrive despite numerous attempts to medicate against it.
/ˈlɪt(ə)rəsi/
word used as part of a compound noun to give an air of legitimacy to an otherwise woolly term, e.g., digital literacy, visual literacy, literacy literacy.
neo-
/niːə(ʊ)/
versatile combining form that can be adjoined to the beginning of any noun in order to make that thing sound more sinister than it actually is.
/niːə(ʊ)ˈtrad/
traditionalist, only more sinister. Synonyms: right-wing, Tory, Nazi, Sith Lord, Agent of Hydra.
/ɒfstɛd/
capricious inspectorate, prone to systematically dishing out unfair judgements. Unless that judgement is 'Good' or 'Outstanding', in which case it is entirely accurate and should be emblazoned across letterheads and banners.
/ˈpɛdəɡɒdʒi/
from the Greek παιδός, (paidos), "teachy", and ἄγω (ágō), "teaching": literally, "teachy teaching".
/prəˈɡrɛsɪv/
1. a teacher committed to the values of progressivism.
2. a teacher just out of initial teacher training.
Robinson, Sir Ken
/ˈrɒbɪns(ə)n ˌˈsəː ˈkɛn/
chivalrous knight of YouTubian legend; the folk tales tell of how Sir Ken is bestowed with a golden tongue by TED the Enchanter, and of how he uses this tongue to defeat the Great Sages of Rote Wisdom by invoking the Spirits of Dance.
rote learning
/rəʊt ˌˈləːnɪŋ/
1. that which Sir Ken Robinson opposes, instead suggesting more dance in the curriculum.
2. the most common and effective way to learn how to dance.
Shift Happens
/ʃɪft ˈhap(ə)nz/
/trəˈdɪʃ(ə)nəlɪz(ə)m/
a diabolical cult dedicated the denigration of fun, posters, role play and group work; based on ideology (cf. progressivism, which is ideology-free and entirely based on pragmatism and principles); followers of traditionalism dislike children and can be mostly found in schools.
/trɒl,trəʊl/
to disagree with a view on education that one holds; this is a transitive verb which can only be done unto the first person me and not unto second or third person pronouns such as him, her or you – "he trolled me" is correct usage, whereas "I trolled her/you" is incorrect.
someone who disagrees with your view on education.

The Reconciliation of The Debate (Is it possible? Is it desirable?)
January 3, 2016 jamestheo	4 Comments
Yesterday, I wrote a blog about how important debate around the distinct philosophies of teaching has helped me. I've had some really positive responses to it, but I thought it particularly pertinent that a large number of people echoed my experiences of watching and taking part in the debate. By way of showing the extent of the debate and how it has helped shape a number of teachers' understanding of their practice, I thought I'd share some of the tweets where people claim to have undertaken a similar journey to me. I think this shows how important and useful the debate has been.
As the preface of my book details, I can def identify with journey described here by @JamesTheo. Glad I'm not alone. https://t.co/uWcQiaWxDi

— ARKerrigan (@A_R_Kerrigan) January 3, 2016
There have been some really thoughtful blog posts on this topic too:
Can a false choice be an object of research? by Greg Ashman
Varieties of boredom by David Didau
Boredom by Toby French
Dangerous Conjectures by Horatio Speaks
Shutting down debates by Rory Gribbell
The Unexamined Life by Phil Stock
In the last of these links, Phil Stock expertly draws our attention to the importance of the "insights that can emerge from holding two opposing ideas in tension." Phil also alludes to the way that many teachers who dismiss the debate actually try to reconcile the two philosophies – he notes how people say things like "one day I am traditionalist and another I am progressive". As Phil points out, this confuses methods and philosophies, but a wider point that we might draw from it is that some see the goal of the debate to reconcile these ideologies. Indeed, if they claim to be bored of the debate and to have moved on, as Anthony Radice points out, the assumption is that they have managed to reconcile them:
@michael_merrick @JamesTheo @LeeDonaghy If you think you can 'move on', you think you've found the answers. So you've taken a position.
— Anthony Radice (@AnthonyRadice1) January 2, 2016
If this is the case, I would dearly love to see someone – who positions themselves as having moved on from the debate – write about how they have reconciled these two competing philosophies. At the moment, I follow Phil's opinion that holding these opposing ideas in tension is where the power of both of them lies, but I'd be incredibly interested to read, from any commentators, about the reconciliation of progressive and traditional education philosophies.
As you can see from the tweets above, I am confirming my own biases that the debate is useful. This is a genuine open request to challenge those biases. Over to you.

I Was a Teenage Progressive: A Defence of the Debate
January 2, 2016 jamestheo	24 Comments
I listen to a lot of podcasts and one of my favourites is David McRaney's 'You Are Not So Smart', in which he discusses and explores the cognitive biases and self delusions we all have as humans.
Yesterday, as Twitter responded to some prominent bloggers' attempts to suppress the debate over progressive and traditional philosophies of education, the latest edition of YANSS hit my iPhone. It was called, 'Bullshit'. The episode mainly discusses PhD candidate Gordon Pennycook's excellent work on the topic of, well, bullshit (apparently it is a clearly defined concept which is marked as quite different to mere 'lies') – work which you can read here.
But the preamble to the podcast really reminded me of my formative years in teaching and on Twitter, and how taking part in the progressive vs. traditional debate, as well as observing it, has helped shape and develop my understanding of the differing philosophies of teaching. You should listen to the whole podcast, but I've transcribed the first seven or so minutes of it below.
The podcast starts off with David McRaney narrating the story of web developer, Seb Pearce, who then picks up the story himself…
David: Seb told me that, as a teenager, he became fascinated with new age thinkers, new age writings, and new age personalities.
Seb: When I was about 19 or so, I was kind of a self-help junkie.
David: But the more he learned about new age ideas and new age personalities, the more he read books by these people and the more he connected with them and their online presences, the more he noticed something that… unsettled him.
Seb: I noticed after being involved in that stuff for a while that there were a lot of things that they were saying that didn't really match up with what they were doing.
David: Public tantrums, egotistical behaviour, flaunting of wealth and status… you know: people stuff. It all began to take a toll on Seb's belief and his trust in these supposedly enlightened individuals.
Seb: It all culminated in this debate I was watching on YouTube one time. It was a debate – I can't remember where it was, but it was called 'Does God Have a Future?'
David: 'Does God Have a Future?' was a debate televised on ABC in which science communicators, Sam Harris and Michael Shermer, debate famous new age figures, Deepak Chopra and Jean Houston.
Seb: When questions were asked to Chopra and Houston, their answers were just kind of like the spiel that they would do on their book tours and stuff that was just… it was like selling their product. Full of buzzwords – yeh, they would throw out these words that they knew that other people didn't understand, um, but they sounded scientific and so that kind of lended (sic) authority to them I think.
David: Here's a sample of what Seb is talking about…
Deepak Chopra (clip from 'Does God Have a Future?'): Science tells us that nature is a discontinuity, that is, an on-off phenomenon. That there are gaps between every two ones where you find a field of possibilities, a field of pure potentiality. Science doesn't call it God, but what is God if not the immeasurable potential of all that was, all that is, and all that will be? Science also tells us that there's a field of non-locality where everything is correlated with everything else.
David: Seb was so struck by what he heard as a nonsensical verbal smokescreen, that he wondered if he could write a computer programme that could replicate it. Basically, he took all the buzzwords that he could think of that felt 'new-agey' and fed them into a programme that was written to obey the rules of English sentence structure. And then he added code that would produce the sort of statements that use, as he explains on his blog, "language games and emotions that lure people into this stuff".
Seb: You notice the people who think that they do understand it, like the followers… even they don't understand it – to them understanding it just means not disagreeing with it, I think.
David: Yeh, because its purpose is to create an emotion, to create a feeling…
So Seb created the New Age Bullshit Generator, which is quite good fun. You can play with it here.
But it isn't what Seb created that struck a chord with me, it's his journey from self-confessed new age 'junkie' to skeptic that seemed very similar to my development through understanding philosophies of teaching.
You see, I was once what you might consider a progressive teacher. I believed in progressive aims of education, and my approaches in the classroom reflected this. But – and this is important – I didn't actually know that my philosophy was progressive. I thought I was just teaching and that the beliefs I had and approaches I undertook were entirely neutral in their ideology. They were just what was handed to me by my entirely impartial and objective teacher training.
And then I got involved in social media. I saw people like Andrew Old arguing against some of the things that I believed in. I argued against Andrew. He was obviously wrong and was tied to some ideology. I made it clear that what I was doing was free from ideology, it was just common sense in teaching. Andrew very patiently argued his case clearly and coherently. It was frustrating. Infuriating, even.
And I watched others argue against Andrew. And like Seb with his new age thinkers, I started to see how what they were doing didn't stand up to the arguments Andrew made against them. Andrew was patient. He wouldn't deviate from his argument. His arguments were logical. I noticed that the arguments against him were often fallacious and the behaviour of his interlocutors often didn't match up with what they were saying – here were people arguing for group work, social interaction, critical thinking, individuality, etc., and yet they were displaying behaviour that seemed antithetical to this. What's more, and this is hard to admit: I was one of these people behaving this way.
I started to understand that there were these two movements: progressive and traditional education. As I began to understand that my philosophy came from a tradition – that of progressive education, I also began to debate what I believed. Some of my beliefs stood up and I still hold them; but many of them, under scrutiny and challenge, shifted and changed. They often didn't change in the moment of debate, but more likely over time as I took things away from the discussion and reflected on them. I would defend the same idea against different challenges from different people and each time I was able to add light and shade to my belief: sometimes the idea stood up under challenge, and sometimes it crumbled. I would go away and seek out reading and research based on the debates I was having or witnessing.
The discussions were never framed as Progressive vs. Traditional, but the knowledge that these competing ideologies were circling around the debate was vital to understanding them.
So, like Seb, I shifted from one side of the debate to the other because of my experience of seeing the debate in action. Where Seb shifted from new age junkie to self-help skeptic, I too have swung from being knee deep in progressive education to being heavily skeptical about its claims. I even wrote about how I'd changed a while ago.
So I am thankful for the debate. I hope it continues to enlighten people as to the philosophies and ideologies of education that are often hidden from us when we train. It may not change people's beliefs as it has mine, but it will enlighten them as to the tradition of their beliefs. It may even strengthen the beliefs that they already hold.
Like Seb, I listened carefully to the debates and it took a toll on my belief and trust in what I had been told. But, unlike Seb, I wouldn't go as far as to call progressive education 'bullshit'. That would be like calling a debate 'boring'.

Art exhibitions are sometimes tend to be horrible things to be dragged into. An artist whose name you've never heard is the headliner and you have to follow the curator's tour focusing on the plum pieces, telling a story how such. Or even worse, you're forced to attend a college art show, where students stand next to their submissions, making an awkward sales pitch for their painting, making Mitsubishi salespeople look professional by comparision. Meanwhile, you're looking at your watch, knowing the only reason you're there is for a girl who's into that sort of thing.
Or more likely, if you're in Silicon Valley, a place I call home (until some poor ad agency with the Acura account decides "Hire that man! He'll find a way to make the RLX appeal to people!"), you go to that art exhibition to find that angel investor who'll fund your idea of creating a $5 app that can record your boss's voice in a meeting and make him or her sound like sheep.
Car enthusiasts don't like Pebble Beach for a few reasons. They view many of the attendees as snobs and don't want to mix with them, even though they'll be far away in their hospitality tents discussing the car auctions later in the day. There aren't any Ride and Drives due to the insane traffic. It's going to be foggy. The tickets are expensive for a car show. And most importantly, why should they see a car shaped like a swan?
As a result, every summer when I announce my Pebble Beach plans, I'm always confronted with the usual "Why do you want to be among such snooty people? It's $300 per ticket to go to a car show! Wasn't San Jose Auto Show good enough this year? I thought you vowed never to see Jay Leno again after he forced Conan off The Tonight Show!" However, to me, it is the greatest way to observe the history of automotive styling, before cars became widely mass-produced, without visiting all the car museums around the world.
In that regard, August becomes the best month in an automotive journalist's life. It means they can leave the horrible summer weather of the Midwest and East Coast, travel to wonderful California, stay in nice hotels, and drive around in the most exotic cars imaginable. My August, on the other hand, entails commuting from the San Jose to Monterey for three days (since motel rooms are $300 a night only that weekend), driving my Jetta (I can't even get a Kia Soul as a press car), trading sunny weather for fog most of the day (but it's cooler weather).
Once you do get onto the lawn, you're compelled to see all the newest debuts, since that's what you're really interested in, all while you prevent yourself from glaring at Leno. This first part is basically an auto show, with companies showcasing their concepts and debuting their new supercars (or if you're Bugatti, showing off yet another special edition Veyron.) It's almost like going to a major auto show if it was held at a golf course. You probably aren't allowed anywhere near these cars like at a major auto show.
Eventually, you've seen all there is to see of the new debuts (and you realize Leno simply can't be avoided), so you start looking at cars on the lawn that don't have barriers around them.
This is when the art show starts. You come across cars you've only seen in photos that routinely go for eight figures at auction. The numerous Ferrari 250 GTOs. Jaguars and Bentleys that have raced at LeMans. Maybe a Ford GT40. There are Lamborghini Countachs. BMW 507s. Maseratis whose existence you were never aware of. Rare models of Porsche 911s. A good portion of the crowd is concentrated on these cars.
Then you start looking at the "pre-war" cars on the lawn. Each of them is flanked by their owners who explain each bit of minutiae on the car. Seriously, within ten minutes of walking the Pebble Beach lawn, I'd have enough material for the "Forgotten Features" category on Clunkerture for the next ten years. You'll encounter Rolls-Royces that have been modified for hunting, Bentleys where only the passenger partition is covered, and Alfa racing cars that've been converted to road cars.
But then you'll see cars like Delages, Hispano-Suizas, and Voisins, all with bodywork like the automakers you know, yet sometimes even more ornate. Cars whose makers you perhaps have never heard of, yet classic car enthusiasts are studying them as hard as the other "rock stars" there, such as those five Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinettas you saw out front.
It's then you realize the point of the show is to highlight craftsmanship that simply does not exist today. Where else can you see such an elaborate hood ornament? A properly styled throttle pedal? A perfectly modeled gear knob? The most perfect wheel ever made? Grilles made from sterling silver? Before this, we were just amazed a Lincoln could park itself. The possibilities are endless with the cars on the Pebble Beach lawn. And you can almost never disagree with the Best of Show.
All of that, believe it or not, is art. There's no other way to explain how every owner makes it a point to explain every detail of the car, and why judges scrutinize them to the fullest extent. ("You don't have the original lightbulbs? That'll be 2 out of 10 on the lighting.") The competitive nature of the Concours event means you're seeing what can be considered the best cars in the world, much like a museum presents the most exquisite paintings in the world.
It may be foggy, the traffic may be maddening, the price of entry expensive, the venue crowded, not be able to correctly pronounce the names of the cars, the food prices through the roof, and you can't sneak into the Bentley hospitality area. But there's a bright side to all of this.
You'll have an excuse not to see The Expendables 3 with your buddies on Sunday afternoon.
Satish Kondapavulur runs Clunkerture, named because "Clunker.com" is $82 at auction which was better spent on Gran Turismo 6. In between giving automakers totally unsolicited advice on how they can sell more cars, he complains loudly about how he can't find the perfect P38 Range Rover. Tweet at him with a listing or contact him at clunkerture@gmail.com if you know anyone angry at the electrics and dumping selling theirs.


Daniel Kanayo Daniel, Nollywood actor, says compared to the onset of his acting career when he was tagged a lover boy, producers now cast him in a variety of roles.
In a chat with TheCable Lifestyle, the '76 actor said he has even played 'bad guy' roles which he never thought he was capable of portraying.
"Daniel does everything, they almost tagged me as a lover boy early on in my career but now I'm doing everything from bad guy to boss man. I didn't even expect that I could play the bad guy role," he said.
Daniel said his full acting schedule rarely affords him the luxury of doing much else.
"Acting doesn't give me time for anything else, I used to do a lot of things before now. I delivered seminars, train people and travel a lot," he said.
The Nnamdi Azikwe University graduate of biochemistry, who began his acting career in 2009, won the best actor award at the 2016 African Movie Academy Awards (AMAA).

Cape Town the first South African city to host all-electric Formula E motor race
by PropertyWheel_G
Cape Town has been announced as one of the host cities of the international Formula E racing tournament taking place in February 2022.
This event will over the city a much-needed boost for events and tourism industries who have been affected by Covid-19.
"The City of Cape Town is pleased to be chosen as one of the cities to participate in the Formula E tournament. The event will unlock major investment, job creation and tourism potential through identifying Cape Town as the racing destination of the African continent. We believe this event offers major potential to local business and it will be a huge attraction for residents" comments the City's Executive Mayor, Alderman Dan Plato.
"We look forward to finalising internal processes to meet the relevant requirements for staging such an exciting event. The City has the necessary infrastructure and skills to host an event of this size and we are confident that it will further cement Cape Town's global reputation as the world's leading festival and event destination".
In 2019, the City was approached by the Cape Town Formula E Consortium. Formula E, sanctioned by the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). Formula E is class of motorsport that uses only electric-powered cars, and it has been operational since 2014.
Cape Town hosted the massively successful Red Bull Cape Town Circuit on Sunday, the 2nd of June 2019, which led to discussions around adding Formula E as a new international sporting event on our shores.
Cape Town has already proven that it is capable of hosting major international motor sporting events with the success of the FIA Rallycross Championship at Killarney, as well as the annual Drift City at the iconic Grand Parade.
In the three years that Formula E has been hosted in Hong Kong, it has contributed approximately R1. 4 billion to that economy.
The City of Cape Town has, in principle decided to support the event with R2 million in cash, subject to the event returning to the City for future tournaments. A further R2 million will be provided in the form of services, on the above premise.

Teaching is a cooperative venture: the instructor provides the tools to acquire knowledge, while the student reciprocates with active engagement in the learning process.
Language study in particular, says Notre Dame faculty member Hannelore Weber, demands interaction and stimulation—a genuine give-and-take.
This cooperative spirit was recently recognized when Weber, an associate teaching professor in the Department of German and Russian Languages and Literatures, received the Goethe-Institut/American Association of Teachers of German Certificate of Merit.
Presented to just four people nationally each year, the award acknowledges educators who have significantly furthered the teaching of German in schools around the United States.
Weber has worked tirelessly over the years to promote the German language and culture. She served as president of the Indiana Chapter of the American Association of Teachers of German and continues to serve as a Trainer for the Goethe Institute. In this position, she attends annual educational conferences run by the institute and then organizes local seminars and events to share that information with teachers in Indiana. She also participates in a statewide mentoring program for new German teachers.
At Notre Dame, Weber says her department has been "extremely supportive" of her efforts in this regard and put her in charge of an assessment project to take its own language instruction to the next level.
A specialist in second language acquisition and pedagogy, Weber teaches intensive beginning and intermediate German classes each semester as well as a study abroad preparation class every fall. Her students come with different levels of previous study—and from a broad array of majors.
