These are snapshots from last week's SJES celebration of Nutrition week which started with the parade of students with slogans and baskets of nutritional foods. Then they had a program which showcased contest of slogans which I've featured in my other blog. It's the first time that they celebrated Nutrition Week with cooking competition played by PTA officers of all grade levels. Each color represents one grade level from 1 to 6. I just posted 3 groups here. The pink group gets the prize of 1 sack of rice for bagging the 1st prize for their burger patties made of banana heart. I'll feature the menu entries in Food Friday later this week.

They'll Use My Recipe

Got to hurry up now as I'll be assisting Ruth in her cooking class later in the afternoon. I promised her that I'll drop by their school to hand over my digicam or mobile phone cam. This is their first cooking demonstration for this school year and they will be doing spaghetti which I personally cooked and demonstrated to her last Saturday. She took down notes and even if she's not the leader this time (they're having a roundup of leaders every cooking session) she'll be teaching her group how to cook spaghetti ala mommy - that's me of course :-). She's a big fan of my spaghetti and she told me they'll be using my recipe. Actually to my happiness at what she had told me I made her add a half kilo to her original one kilo recipe in case the teachers would ask for more :-). I paid for the added items.

Get Rid of the Pain

There's no reason to live in pain because of injured joints, especially when there are so many ways to alleviate or eliminate the pain. For those in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, my favorite place to have joint pain treated is the Orthopaedic and Spine Center. As a leading provider of Newport News Orthopedics, OSC has been helping relieve and eliminate their patients' pain for years. Their expertise in Newport News physical therapy both before and after surgery, along with their Newport News Open MRI, are just a few of the reasons they're a leading provider of orthopaedic relief.

When you're ready to stop living in pain, check out the Orthopaedic and Spine Center in Newport News. I'm betting you'll be happy you did even before they relieve your pain.

I'm A Spaceship

You Are A Spaceship

You're so weird that you're practically out of this world. You are a total dreamer. You are obsessed with conquering the impossible. You are wild and adventurous. You love thrills of all sorts. You are a true sensation seeker. You are always looking for that next high.

Cost Estimation

For a the last few seasons, CBS has been showing a TV show called Numb3rs. The show's premise is the unimaginitive take off on the family-solving-mysteries storyline that has been around since Scooby Doo and at the earliest the Hardy Boys. Of course, Numbers has some thngs that are different – the boys are employed and older. Don Eppes,the older brother, heads a team of federal agents located in LA – a giant step above the amateur detective ways of the Hardy boys. Charlie Eppes is a certified math genius and teaches as a professor at the made-up university of Cal Sci.

Each week, Don and his street-savvy FBI team encounter a problem, usually a time sensitive one, which is just too tough to figure out through traditional police work. Like clockwork, Professor Charlie Eppes and his team of socially-awkward yet brilliant mathematicians are able to use some form of advanced mathematics to accomplish a whole list of things from predicting where a kidnapping will happen next to the contents of boxes.

And while a great deal of that is Hollywood magic, taking lab theory and shoehorning it into unrealistic time periods with even less realistic amounts of data, there is one part of the show that I always admire. During the hour-long show, the young Professor Eppes must give an explanation to a complex, doctoral-level mathematical system in a way that a team of federal agents can understand. This happens every single episode with such predictability that the character in the show have started to expect it, even making jokes and attempting to give their own explanations.

Charlie’s explanations are definitely a way to move the story forward and also to convince the television viewers that his genius mathematical insights aren’t simply a weekly deus ex machine. However, just as Charlie has to explain how his math models the real world, the use of software estimation can often seem just as improbable. True, you can sit back and say “Well, the program relies on parametric modeling of our current situation,” but that look is far more likely to generate blank stares than anything else.
