No, it isn't.
Here's a phrase I've heard a lot recently, from all types of people: it is what it is (iiwii for short). The phrase seems harmless enough, but I actually think it can be a bad sign, psychologically. It's a defense mechanism.
We hear it all the time, particularly from athletes on losing teams. As spoken by the coach of the UCLA football team who lost to a horrible Notre Dame squad. USC loses to the Oregon Ducks, same statement. USA Today even named it the 2004 Sports Cliche of the Year. There are t-shirts, blogs, tattoos, even a support group utilizing this phrase. Here's a discussion describing how iiwii has replaced "it's all good" in common parlance. The urban dictionary tries to define it, but none of the definitions quite capture what I see in my office.
The problem is, iiwii is a deceptive statement. The words and tone imply acceptance of the current state of affairs, but the underlying sentiment is frustration and helplessness. Don't get me wrong, I'm quite familiar with irony, cynicism and satire. But that's not what this is. This is a defense mechanism. Not only that, it's the Ebola virus of defense mechanisms: denial.
Let's say I have a client, a man who has been in a miserable marriage for 20 years. Every perceptive muscle I have tells me he feels angry, sad and very stuck. But I ask him how he feels and he drops the iiwii bomb: "I don't know," he says "my marriage is what it is, and that's that." Here is my translation: This situation makes me very upset, but I'm powerless to change it, so I'm trying to push away my feelings and begrudgingly accept my helplessness. I don't want to talk about it anymore. We both know he has strong feelings about it, but iiwii won't let us get there. That's what a defense mechanism is: any mechanism that protects (defends) us from unwanted thoughts, feelings, or drives.
I'm not trying to be grammar police, or take away freedom of speech. I actually don't mind the phrase when used appropriately. I'm just calling out iiwii for what it often is: denial. Normal, healthy emotional processing includes 1) injury 2) feeling the emotion 3) expressing the emotion, then finally 4) acceptance. What I'm seeing is people wanting to leapfrog steps 2 and 3 in order to avoid the pain and get to the acceptance. They hope that shortcut won't hurt as bad.
But you know what? Bypassing the emotion doesn't work. It has to be expressed sometime. Talk to someone who took antidepressants following the death of a loved one. Prozac doesn't eliminate the grief, it just postpones it. Emotions like grief and anger are natural, necessary phases we must experience in order to move on. In order to achieve real acceptance. And what happens when we don't deal with the underlying emotions? Most of mankind's health and relational problems. I'm afraid that's the harsh reality.

Well said. In your experience, have people who tend to use this phrase made any effort to explore or change things and failed? Or is this a lack of insight that capitalizes on fear and denial? Both?

Interesting question, cacophony. I believe the "iiwii" attitude is adopted after failed attempts to resolve prior issues. The underlying sentiment might be: "venting my anger didn't change the outcome before, so why feel the anger now?" What I'm saying is - venting the anger is important for your health, regardless of the outcome. Thanks for asking.

This post is what it is. There's nothing I can do to change it. I have to just begrudgingly accept it.
LOL -- Nice job. I love debunking popular statements, like this and "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different result". That's the definition of futility, not insanity.
And poor Einstein. Every hare-brained saying is frequently attributed to him!

I got linked to here by your "definition of insanity" post - glad I've discovered your blog - very interesting!
With respect to i.i.w.i.i., I find your insights very, well, insightful.
In my world - project management, project delivery, call it what you will - i.i.w.i. is a way to end pointless how-did-we-get-here arguments and pity parties, and move on to solutioning (sorry for the jargon, but I think it's the right world).
I.e., I think the sunny flipside of i.i.w.i.i. is not begrudging acceptance of something we don't want to change, but rather the acceptance of our start conditions: "Yes, the [bridge] pier is buckling, which means we can't lay the deck on it, and we're going to miss your milestones - BUT WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?"
I hope I make sense!
Again, great blog.

I also got linked to here by your "definition of insanity" post. I also feel the same way about the phrase, "Agree to disagree"
Great blog, btw.

I think Agree to Disagree is a little different. It can be perfectly appropriate if 2 people have thoroughly and constructively discussed a difference of opinion until it becomes apparent that neither will change the other's mind, and so there is no point in extending the debate.

For the insider:
I do Apologize ahead for my forward comings, but I am sure you do Not have all the facts straight and in order. Therefore, rendering your information incomplete or null and void.
The phrase "It Is What It Is" has absolutely nothing to do with with Defensive Mechanisms of the human mind. In fact the phrase is more pertaining to more of a natural sense of avoidance then defense. As well as consideration to the correct definition pertaining to what a Defensive Mechanism is exactly may help.
Defense Mechanism
1.Physiology. the defensive reaction of an organism, as against a pathogenic microorganism.
2.Psychology. an unconscious process, as denial, that protects an individual from unacceptable or painful ideas or impulses.
Key word is denial. The person whom state "It Is What It Is" is not denying anything, they are simply accepting the situation as it stands, and makes absolutely zero reference as to whether or Not the person has any intent to change the situation. In order to figure for intent, you consider the 'Post-Context' of the phrase, and be mindful that the tone in ones voice is the most common body language to be misunderstood.
Post-Context is always important, even in the midst of a threat. If a follows the remark with a laugh they either are joking or they have reached a psychotic break. But, if a person states it straight and to point, generally with a serious or angered tone, and urges additional demands or statements pertaining to then it would be a worry. But, generally with the phrase "It Is What It Is" your Post-Context would include the added statement of "And I/we can't change that" that would show the lack of intent to change the current standings or situation. Though, if the Post-Context includes something like "what are/am you/I/me/we going to do about it?" it would show that the person would like to see it change, but just doesn't know how to change it.
So, you can't just make a general assumption that everyone is just trying to avoid the conversation, or shut you out, you really just need to know what questions to ask or what to say. But, in the end, the statement primarily pertains strictly to the acceptance of a situation in which a person either can't change, or simply doesn't know how to change. That would be the Acceptance of, Not the denial of.
And, I shall add, that as a Psychologist, it is kind of annoying you would that presumptuous to phrase like that...

talk about over analyzing. when I say it I'm meaning be at peace with it if you want something better you have to change it, because now I've worked hard, it's pleasing to me and I want to go to bed. what's wrong with being defensive?

I started using this about six years ago when it VERY first came out and you could only get one color. I am fair-medium, but I tan VERY easily, and during the summer, this is amazing. I was mixing it with a regular moisturizer for a bit until they FINALLY came out with the light. I own foundations and other tinted moisturizers, but I'm not sure why because this is all I wear. It's perfect for someone who likes light-medium coverage. During the winter I use the light with just a tiny bit of the original in it to make me look like I'm actually alive... lol
It's a little on the expensive side, especially for someone like me who needs both colors, but it's worth it because it lasts forever. I've had my current tubes for almost a year now and that's with every day wear. There is a smell to them, but it's not unpleasant, it kinda smells like suntan lotion.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Black, Kinky, Medium

What is UP with this product! I had this when it was the ONLY shade available. Made me look tangoed. Made my cousin look tangoes. Made her friedn look tangoed. Only thing good about this is the packaging!!!
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Coarse
Eyes: Brown
After having it used for a month , these are my impressions:
- Even when freshly applied, it looks like you have washed your face with bacon. This is not "dewy", it's just plain greasy.
- It gets worse after a few hours. When I washed my face I could actually feel the oil.
- You have to use powder every hour to look somehow normal.
- Comedogenic, which means that it DOES CLOG PORES! If you don't believe me then look it up on the benefit website.
- It is the perfect shade for girls with golden/tan/beige skin.
(I've been trying to love it, because it was the best match I've ever had)
- It stays on forever. You don't have to re-apply. Even a bit of water cannot get it off.
Probably great for girls with dry/very dry skin. Awful for girls with combination or acne prone skin.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Normal, Tan, Warm
Hair: Black, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I bought this at the begginning of the year (recommanded by a friend) thinking that it would be good to keep the skin protected from the sun and moisturised. However this product was quite disappointing as it left my skin oily (I have Normal skin). Especially in the sun, the colour changed and left marks around my neckline. The product is also quite pricey. If you intend to purchase this product, use Benefit Moon Beam with it for a great affect. Probably wouldn't buy again. Would recommand Boot's Botanics Tinted Moistuizer (Under a Fiver and works fanastically)!!
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I must use this product everyday...and I love it. It just creates a lovely base to work with, I sometimes like to apply a light founadtion over the top, or a heavy one for a long night out! I sometimes may just wear it with a little concealer, but I love it.
I generally mix it with a highlighter (such as highbeam) and I love, love, love it! :D it's light and not greasy-though I must say I do use it sparingly and not like a usual moisturiser, I also apply the same amount on my face as I do my neck, to make sure I am all the same colour! It can be greasy if you apply too much. but it doesn't clog pores!
I do think it's a little bit pricey as I use it everyday, however one tube will last me around 3-5 months depending on how much I use it. It can be a bit pricey, so I tend to ask for it at christmas and birthdays ><
I would highly reccommend this product to everybody <3
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Normal, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other

This is a good tinted moisturizer but nothing special , it made me look slightly yellow and rathe greasy , but is good as a base for a foundation , a product just as good or better could be purchased for less (:
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Medium, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Curly, Coarse
Eyes: Brown
Love it sooooo much! It's the only teinted moisturizer I've used so far so I don't know if I can find a better one but I'll defenatly buy it again. I use the darker shade and it gives my skin a dewy look.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
hated this! gives absolutely NO coverage so you'd be better off just using a regular moisturizer. squirts out so much at once..me and my mom both tried it and did not like it much at all. There are definitely better out there
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Normal, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Green
This is a good tinted moisturiser, but I�m sure you can find better one. I�m dissapointed of their shade pallete, two shades is really not enough. The lightest shade is still too dark for me and it has a very noticeable yellow undertone. It looks ok now, when I�m tan. The smell is absolutely gorgeous, it reminds me od my grandma�s garden full of flowers. It has a dewy finish and doesn�t look cakey, the coverage is very light. It has spf 15, which is great. A little goes a long way, but still it�s a little pricey. But after all, I will buy this product again.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Very Dry, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
This product is OK (nothing more) but there are hundreds better (for me the best for summer make-up with spf is shinseido compact).
This tinted moisturizer doesn't moisturize my skin enough so I use it over vichy nutrilogie 2. I like the color- it is not orange but quite dark and looks really good on my skin in summer. When I burn and I'm red it masks it well enough. It stays on my skin for whole day even if I sweat. The finish is not matte -rather the opposite so If you don't like shine its not for you. It didn't clog my pores or anything but I think it might be harsh for your skin as it tingles a bit

Shipper Golar LNG's (GLNG) order for its first floating liquefied natural gas plant could prove a game-changer that loosens oil majors' grip on LNG production, analysts say. The move also gives GLNG the chance to enter the upstream segment, perhaps by partnering with companies to monetize gas in west Africa that would otherwise be flared.

Hans Von Spakovsky and Jon Greenbaum talked about the impact of new voter identification laws across the U.S. They also responded to telephone calls and electronic communications. Mr. Von Spakovsky argued that just as identification is required more and more for entry into buildings for security purposes, such as he was asked to provide for entry into C-SPAN's offices to appear on "Washington Journal," voter identification is necessary for both security and voter impersonation and other fraud prevention. Mr. Greenbaum said that evidence of voter fraud is scant, and he cited cases such as Florida's new voter laws that make the early voting process more difficult.

Best TV Journalist (2013)
Dennis Welch, KTVK Channel 3
Dennis Welch is a well-respected newsman who has covered Arizona politics for more than a decade on a variety of platforms — print (East Valley Tribune), online (the late Arizona Guardian), and most recently on television (KTVK Channel 3). Before the veteran reporter started co-hosting 3TV's Politics Unplugged in June 2012, he was part of a team that launched the now-defunct Guardian, a news website that doggedly covered Arizona politics. He's tough and fair during interviews with political figures and was even "slugged" by Governor Jan Brewer after he posed a question to her about global warming. After she eked out a nonsensical answer, she hit Welch and asked him, "Where the hell'd that come from?"

Assuming Terry Collins pulled Aaron Laffey in Tuesday's nightcap to set him up to pitch on short rest this weekend against Washington, then it was a bad move. Collins assumed his already shaky bullpen could hold a six-run lead, but you know what happens when you assume. Especially to go to a bullpen that has given no reason to believe it could hold a lead in that park. Collins should know never to give away a game seemingly in hand to chase another. COLLINS: Juggling bullpen. This isn't to say Laffey couldn't have blown the game by himself, but with a six run lead should have been given another inning or two. Collins should realize he has an unreliable bullpen and he should stay out of it as much as possible. Collins' job should have been to hold onto Tuesday and let Sandy Alderson worry about finding him a pitcher for Saturday. Frankly, I believe Laffey had a better chance of holding a six run lead for two innings than coming back to beat Washington on Saturday. What already had be...

Amazing designing!! I just love your design! this logos are so beautiful!!
I love your ability to reinvent your style to fit the need of the client. Your work is extremely versatile. Anyone would hire you. That is definitely something I have to work on. I get stuck so easily. How do you do manage to keep yourself artistically limber in that way? Good work. Keep up ass-off-ness!
My favorites are a tie between IdealMedical and HealthGest. Both are incredibly unique.
Alex, thank you for your support. My only and one advise is to keep watching everything. Good and bad, make lots of sketches and try to destroy your own ideas. If you think something is really good, try to kill it anyway you can. The result can be surprising.
That's brilliant advise. Like the "scientific method" for designers: try to prove the design doesn't work. Love it. Will implement. ♥
logotype logo is great
You got a knack for creating juicy, well-formed logos!

What has changed with whiskey distilling over time? In a word — efficiency.
Pumps far outnumber compressors, mixers, fans, blowers, internal combustion engines, turbines and gearboxes and represent as much as 85 percent of all rotating equipment in some process plants.
Process engineers use their own kind of sleuthing to select the right type of liquid/solid separating equipment. It's not an easy task.
Quality checks to detect physical contaminants in retail packaged products can prove challenging, even with X-ray inspection systems specifically designed to inspect food packaging.
Technology developed by Liu's team can halve the chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the potato effluent by removing starch, fiber and protein.
Market research and consulting firm TechSci Research found that the industrial and residential sectors are the key end users of mobile sewage treatment systems, and growing demand and awareness about the benefits of mobile treatment systems will lead to increasing use in these sectors over the next few years.

"Fraser Mustard academy' proposed name for all-kindergarten school coming to Toronto
Early childhood guru Dr. Fraser Mustard, who died in 2011, is expected to be honoured by the Toronto school board with an all-kindergarten school in his name.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
A committee has recommended "Fraser Mustard Early Learning Academy," which will go forward for trustee approval after the Toronto District School Board resolves some outstanding issues regarding the school with the Ministry of Education, say board sources.
"That would be an outstanding gesture," said Charles Pascal, a professor at the University of Toronto's Ontario Institute for Studies in Education who advised the province on full-day kindergarten.
"The largest kindergarten programming in North America deserves a big name, and no one in early childhood is bigger."
Mustard, who grew up in Toronto, spent years advising leaders around the world about the importance of the childhood years on brain development and health and well-being later in life.
"I hope the school will endeavour to always be stretching and finding new ways to include Mustard's thinking, teachings and approach in all that they do," said Toronto City Councillor Paula Fletcher, who teamed up with Mustard to help save Bruce Junior Public School from closing more than a decade ago. Bruce served as a model for Ontario's full-day program.
The new all-kindergarten school, which area trustee Gerri Gershon hopes will open this fall, is still under construction. The opening was already delayed from September 2012 to September 2013 after parking issues forced a redesign.
"Fraser Mustard is so well regarded in the education community," said Gershon, who served on the naming committee.
The school is located on the same site as Thorncliffe Park Public School, near Don Mills Rd. and the Don Valley Pky., and home to a burgeoning immigrant population.
Thorncliffe Park elementary simply has no space to accommodate the 28 classrooms it needs for full-day kindergarten.
The new school is expected to serve some 700 four- and five-year-olds.

|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
I'm going to remove the "History" section of the article in a moment, because it is
- quite horrifically malformed, formatting-and-layout-wise
- a blatant rip-off from the site listed as an external link
Any objections? --Paul A 04:25, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[moved from User:Paul A:]
- My apologies
please tidy it up. Not all of us are experts :-)
- as this is my site I am quite entitled to 'rip it off'
I would like the history 'rip off' returned As you were kind enough to remove it perhaps you woulld be kind enough to return and format it so I can look at the code
Thanks for your interest :-)
ProjeX 06:52, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[end moved]
- Sorry about that: both about being grumpy about the formatting, and about assuming the worst about the source of the timeline. It would have been helpful if you had, when you added the History section, left a message on this talk page mentioning that it was from your own site - something to bear in mind in future?
- I will have a shot at formatting the History section, but there are some bits there that I really can't make out what it's meant to say. Please excuse any blunders.
- --Paul A 02:50, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- (P.S. - In future, please don't leave messages on my User page - or anybody else's User page for that matter; that's not what they're for.)
Wandsworth Common railway[edit]
I added wandsworth common station to the list and placed it at the top, because it is in fact nearer to the center of Tooting than any of the other stations. I am certain that is accurate, since i get off at that station to get to college. :)
I will be removing Wandsworth Common Station as it is over a kilometre away from Tooting Broadway Station as the crow flies, and is in fact closer to Balham Station. As Balham has its own article showing Balham and Wandsworth Common as its two principle Railway stations, i dont think it needs inclusion under Tooting. Deckchair 08:36, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
I see Wandsworth Common station has re-appeared without any discussion. I believe that it should be removed for the reasons stated above. If the user who reinstated this station has a good reason for its inclusion then please say so. Deckchair 11:41, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Wandsworth Common station is surely closer to Tooting Bec than it is to Balham? Snottysnail (talk) 01:16, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
Please stop "Labour Party" marketing[edit]
I am somewhat sceptical of your motives for putting links to Sadiq Khan's blog and the Labour Party site on the Tooting wiki page.
Wikipedia is an open-source project and not a free-for-all marketing or SEO tool.
I have a business in Tooting and could easily abuse wikipedia for marketing purposes; however, it would be antisocial to do so.
Consider the consequences for your reputation should you persist. People such as myself who were initially sceptical of Sadiq have seen him cope relatively well in the media and are prepared to be won over. Don't ruin this by getting involved in mindless vandalism!
When editing a page, you should consider whether the information you are presenting is for the public good, or for promotion of your own organisation.
By all means, keep the part in the main text that mentions that Sadiq is the MP for Tooting. It is relevant. But please remove the external links to Sadiq's page and the Labour page, and put them on the appropriate wiki pages for Sadiq Khan. Not on the Tooting page. It is not directly relevant.
Addendum: even though there is now a link to Stephanie Dearden (liberal democrat) page, which balances it a little, this is still all a little irrelevant and so still needs an NPOV marker
Until we find a satisfactory way to link to political pages etc from this page, or else include all active political parties, it will be biased.
Brendanurbanwarrior 28 June 2005 15:51 (UTC)
I've just noticed that there is a proper political page here, so perhaps it's better to hang all the political stuff off there and simply link to that page. So I am proposing that the Tooting page be solely about Tooting, the town, and the constituency page be solely about the constituency (i.e. what used to be called "Wandsworth Central" or whatever). The two pages can link to each other of course.
Brendanurbanwarrior 28 June 2005 21:41 (UTC)
Political links now in Tooting constituency page[edit]
In the spirit of fairness, I have put the political links in the Tooting (UK Parliament constituency) page.
Brendanurbanwarrior 4 July 2005 17:32 (UTC)
Wandsworth Common station[edit]
I've just changed the order of railway stations to reflect better Wandsworth Common station's relationship to Tooting. I don't consider it nearer or more significant than Tooting and Balham railway stations in its relationship to Tooting, so dropped it to third. I was born and brought up in Upper Tooting and am well aware of all the stations mentioned.
Is Tooting Bec Lido the largest in Europe?[edit]
According to Wandsworth Council, it is [1]
I'm happy if someone can prove to the contrary, then to change it back to just Britain. Then I will tell the council. cheers
Brendanurbanwarrior 07:31, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
I'm not even sure that it is the largest in Britain - Penwith Council claim that the main pool of the Jubilee Pool at Penzance "has an area of approximately 2875 square metres and holds 1,106,665 gallons of seawater". http://www.penwith.gov.uk/media/adobe/e/f/jubileepool-flier_1.pdf
By my reckoning, Tooting is 90.9x30.3 metres = 2754.27 square metres.
--Lang rabbie 17:11, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
But Tooting Lido is 90*33m ([2])
Brendanurbanwarrior 18:13, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
As far as I know, the Lido was constructed (in real money) as 100 yards by 100 feet (33 yards, 1 foot). http://www.slsc.org.uk/Lido-History.htm
Apologies, I'm not sure where I got my earlier metres figure from, which I suspect had rounded down to 33 yards x 99 yards. Applying a standard calculation of 1 yard=0.9144metres on the correct imperial dimensions gives 91.44 metres x 30.48 metres and a total area of 2787.09 square metres.
A recent Amateur Swimming Association press release for the open water championshops described Tooting "as the UK's largest, unheated, fresh water, open-air pool" --Lang rabbie 19:16, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
Food and Retail[edit]
I see no point in a Encyclopedia listing a number of Curry house and bars - this is an Encyclopedia not the Yellow pages --User:Gruff 11:35 10 January 2006 (UTC)
I agree that the "eateries" section just seems wrong with the statement "Tooting features many world class restaurants" I will be removing this. While i enjoy some of the restaurants in Tooting, i dont think any of them come up to world class standard Deckchair 10:15, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
Events in 2007[edit]
Do two assaults outside Tooting Broadway Underground station really merit inclusion in the list of notable events in Tooting's history? As someone must have added this relatively recently, I won't delete just yet so that I can be shown the error of my ways. Bencherlite 17:19, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
I dont believe the assaults should be included. If we were to include every assault that ever happened in Tooting then it would be a very long list. While assault is serious i dont believe it is worth including as a notable event in the history of Tooting. Deckchair 13:43, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Agreed. Removed. Bencherlite 21:12, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Notable residents[edit]
I do not think the following are particularly notable and therefore should be removed from this list.
Christopher "Toots" Vivion, Kenny Day, Huw Jordan. Any objections? Deckchair 11:11, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
I see that the list of "notables" has increased again. Looking on google doesnt shed any light on why these people are notable and there are no articles for them Deckchair 10:57, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- I agree, and have trimmed the list down again. There was no explanation given when they were added, and appear to be NN. --Onorem♠Dil 11:10, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Really not sure that Michael Angelis counts as being from Tooting - He may have lived there, but he's undeniably from Liverpool. If being a resident is sufficient qualification, then that would let in actor Patrick Stewart, who has a house on St James Drive Snottysnail (talk) 02:35, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
- I deleted 'Molly Richardson' from the list as she had no Wiki page and so was non-notable. If she ever acquires notability please feel free to re-add her. SmokeyTheCat 05:22, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
The reference to 'boxing... taking off in Tooting' strikes me as advertising. I'm not sure I would put the availability of lessons at the leisure centre as evidence that anything is taking off. Was the opening of Cafe Nero evidence of a sudden surge in the popularity of coffee in the area?
Any objections to this being deleted?Gaffertape (talk) 21:00, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
- Not from me. A ref in a national newspaper, or a notable local boxer might help change my mind! Cheers Kbthompson (talk) 13:33, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

I was reading Stacey Armstrong's blog this morning. He was writing about the end of the Texas CS Competition season. Yep, in Texas there is a Computer Science competition season. Who knew! Here in New England where I live there isn't a season. There are some computer science, ok, let's call them programming contests which is what most of them are. But there is no season. That is to say there are not whole bunches of competitions that you can take teams to on a regular basis. I'm not sure if it lack of people to compete – Texas has a higher density of computer science classes than many areas seem to. Or lack of a certain competitive spirit – they do like to compete in Texas. or something else again. Now there are computer programming competitions in the area. I know of one in New Hampshire and one in Massachusetts. And there is the SkillsUSA programming contest which takes place in some states but no where near all of them. Now I have mixed feelings about programming contests which I have written about before (Programming Contests – for good or for ill). But Stacey makes a good case for them on his post.
He included something I had not thought about before.
Another benefit is that many large software companies use similar problems for interviewing purposes as those often seen in contest packets. A common programming problem often involves determining if an exit from a maze exists. A former student of mine was asked to explain solving this exact problem when interviewing for a Google position.

He has other points and he is probably winning me over on these short form competitions. Long form, like the Imagine Cup or the Bliink contest in web design or the Kodu Cup, I have always had an easier time with because they more closely approximate reality. But perhaps there is value in the short form events as well. I think also of the idea behind the FIRST Robotics competitions – treating academic competition the way we do sports by rewarding and paying attention to people who work at it and make themselves good at it.
This is one of the advantages of reading blogs for me – the chance to read ideas and arguments from other people. I learn for these blogs. I get ideas. And they often make me think. It's the sort of community thing that we don't have enough of in computer science education. Hum, I wonder if teachers sitting and talking while their students compete is yet another side benefit of programming competitions? I know I have a good time and learn a lot at the events I have attended. Something to think about. Social professional development while motivating students to work hard to learn to compete. What do you think?
Pat Yongpradit, a talented young HS CS teacher I have written about before, has created a 5 week mini-course on game programming with XNA Game Studio. This course is particularly useful for educators who want to offer game programming to their students as an enrichment unit, as part of a summer school or after school program or other places in their curriculum. It is especially useful for educators who don't already have the game development knowledge and who don't have a lot of free time to learn it on their own. This curriculum gives you access to a free textbook (in PDF format) as well as video tutorials that lead students through the lessons. It is explicitly designed for students who already know how to program, the difference here is that this curriculum teaches them how program in a game context. Here are some other reasons I think this is such a good course:
Where do you get all of this?
And don't forget to sign you high school up for DreamSpark to get students even more free development software!
I had a great week last week. Long but great. I finished up with two conferences where for once I was not presenting. On the other hand the next time I go to either of them I just might present. Friday was the Going Local with Social Media Conference conference at Bentley University. There was some really high powered quite knowledgeable people talking about using social media in business and industry. I learned a good bit and heard some good speakers. Saturday was something completely different – Ed Camp Boston. EdCamp was about teachers and education. EdCamp is what is known as an UNconference. This means that no sessions are put on the schedule in advance. People propose sessions and time slots and rooms. If there are more suggestions that rooms are available people vote on which ones to hold. In this case there were eight rooms available and most time slots had eight sessions going on. It was held at Microsoft Cambridge at the aptly named NERD Center (New England Research and Development). I was very excited to be able to arrange for the space to be made available for this event. People are already taking about doing it again next year.
Left me start with a couple of quick reminders:
Thanks to @21stprincipal on Twitter I found this useful article called 11 Free Microsoft Tools You're Overlooking in PCWorld. This is well worth checking out.
Speaking of conferences, the CSTA blog has a nice post about Choosing conference sessions for the CSTA CS & IT conference. Are you coming? Coming or not (though I hope to see many of you there) this is an interesting look as home sessions are selected for conference.

Hi, I wanted to try out the Nutella Cheesecake and wanted to know if there is an alternative to using hazelnuts?

Should Nigella's Baklava be refrigerated? In the supermarket, some seems to be and some not. Online advice is also split. I can't see anything specific that should need refrigerating, except for the little bit of brushed on butter and I don't want the filo to go soft or chewy. I'd like it to keep as long as possible though. I thought I should ask. Thanks.

I Made the No-Churn Coffee Ince Cream and followed instructions as per the receipe. But after whisking it in the Kenwood, it does not stiffen - as shown in the You tube video or as described in the receipe. Instead, the fats seem to disintegrate from the mixture leaving the mixture rather watery. Am I doing anything I shouldn't? Thanks for your help.

UCCELLIERA 2012 RAPACE"Uccelliera is now without question one of the handful of top producers in Montalcino." - Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate
The tiny-production Rapace is a 60% Sangiovese, 30% Merlot and 10% Cabernet barrique-aged blend. Uccelliera is a practicing organic winery. Integrated insect and disease control is followed; organic and organic-mineral fertilizers (copper and sulfur-based products) are used in the vineyards. Insecticides and herbiscides are used rarely, if ever. The soil is tilled on the rows between the vines. To preserve the wine, low doses of SO2 are added to the wines.
Rapace by Uccelliera is an extremely limited Super Rapace. It bursts from the glass with dark red cherries, plums, licorice, spices and menthol. This delicious Italian red is a blend of Brunello (Sangiovese Grosso), Cabernet and Merlot. Rapace, which means raptor in Italian, is seductively smooth nuanced can be enjoyed now and over the next 5 years.

In two games against Colonie softball pitcher Jess Annello this season, Guilderland went scoreless.
A former Bethlehem softball player has found success at the college level.
The Dutch played well, but not well enough to win.
Voorheesville lost to Cobleskill on Tuesday.
If Voorheesville, playing Cobleskill, had let fewer balls pass, it may have been a different game.
Voorheesville's Amanda Gatt is a top pitcher for Siena College.
Going undefeated is hard to do, and the BKW Little League softball team did it.
Three defending champions last spring; not one repeated.
Berne-Knox-Westerlo softball player Kaitlyn Curvin was recently named a Western Athletic Conference First Team All-Star, the only one from her school.
The Guilderland softball team talked about defending its title early on in the season, but Bethlehem wasn't about to allow it.

- Tax-deferred growth potential. Retirement savings grow tax-free until withdrawal at retirement.
- Guaranteed income. In addition to annuitization, the optional GLWB rider allows an investor to secure an annual lifetime income stream equal to five percent of a protected payment base that locks in the highest contract anniversary value achieved since purchase of the rider.
- Pricing. The base fee is 60 basis points – less than half of the industry average of 134 basis points, according to Morningstar 1 – and each of the underlying portfolios has an investment expense ratio of 80 basis points. The GLWB rider can be added at any time until age 85 for 80 basis points, or for 100 basis points for a joint GLWB. There are no hidden charges or surrender fees.
- Investments and access. Schwab clients have three simple portfolios to choose from – balanced, balanced with growth and growth – each is broadly diversified and professionally managed by Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. If an investor's needs change over time, he or she can transfer among these three investment choices, tax-free. With the GLWB option, investors can also access their annuity assets and withdraw them for emergencies or unexpected expenses 2, even while they are taking lifetime income (investors should be aware that the GWLB is not a contract value and is not available for withdrawal like a cash value and that their actual contract value and death benefit will deplete with each withdrawal).
- Professional guidance. By sitting down with any of Schwab's 1200+ financial consultants to talk about their retirement planning options, investors get tailored advice and professional help in determining whether the SRIVA or other annuity options are right for their retirement income needs.
