The Potty

We're making progress with Brandt.  Only because we've been bribing him with new HotWheels for everytime he goes on the potty.  That's getting expensive so I switched to M&M's.  My sister-in-law said that's what she used with her boys so I'm going to try it.  Lately he's been in underwear all day except for his nap & bedtime.  I know it's kind of a TMI subject but I'm excited we're moving in the right direction.

It took a few minutes but I finally figured out that TMI means "too much information"! When are you going to change the pics of the kids on your blog?

Site Design - Template 2

This is the second site design template.
I looked at how to collect pages together for different groups. I used the "treehouse" template to get the overall look of the site. The sidebar was kept switched on and I have not used a horizontal navigation bar.
I put two different navigation areas in the sidebar and chose which pages to include in each group.
The group 1 and group 2 titles were made on Google Drawings and saved as image files. These were included in the sidebar in text boxes.
This is quite a simple set up, but I wanted to focus on grouping elements together in the sidebar.
To simplify the look more, I removed the search box that automatically appears in the header and centred the main title.

Link to the site template here.
Link to the documents used on the site here.
If you want to find out how to make the slider on the front page, the link is here.
Check out other site design templates on this link here.

Site Design - Template 1

I had a really interesting conversation as we were having our after school toolkit sessions yesterday. We were working on our site designs, and I was chatting with a colleague from a local primary school and she was wanting a site design that did not use tabs across the top or a side bar as it was too fiddly for her very young class. She just wanted button navigation for them on the class site.
This got me thinking about site design a subject. There are so many different ways of doing a class site using Google sites. It is just a case of thinking about your user and how they are going to be using the site and tailoring it to fit.
So this in turn got me thinking about doing a series of different design templates.

Here is the first one that I have tried.
I have taken all the navigation off ( no side bar or horizontal navigation tabs ). I have also removed the header so that custom headers can be placed on each page.
I have made this site a template if you want to use it, just click the bar at the top. When you have your own copy, you can get into the settings and see how it is made and laid out. The link for the folder of documents is down below.
I made page 1, linked off button one on the home page, then I made that a page template so that I didn't have to worry about sizing the Google drawing at the top every time I made a new page. All I have to do to make a new page is to choose the page template and change the link to a different google drawing ( if i want a different one at the top ).
All of the buttons are made on Google Drawing and either embedded as a drawing (in the case of the page headers, so the moving gifs work) or saved out as images and the images linked as buttons.
Here is the link to the folder of documents if you want to use them.

The new 4 letter Word - BOOK !!

Everywhere I go on social media at the moment, that is talking about education, it is "textbooks are bad!"... "textbooks should be thrown away"... etc etc......

Let me ask a question ....
If you need a science fact about how water molecules are put together, is the fact any different if it is read online or in a book?

I have never been a fan of the type of exam that expects students to memorise facts and spew them back in response to the appropriate question. This tests memory, not understanding of the topic, and it always has. I have always argued that if you are working in a job, then you have a whole library of resources at your fingertips to refer to and you don't have to waste time trying to remember all this stuff. We want people with application and understanding to be doing the jobs. This was my opinion before the internet ( yes, I was a teacher B. I. )

So, if a fact can be found by thumbing through a book, great! If it can be found by a quick internet search, then that is great too! We have to teach students to use all the resources around them when doing their research , including newspapers, libraries, the internet,  talking to people, market research, and yes, old textbooks.

After that, online apps and activities are fantastic at embedding understanding of the facts as it forces students to use what they have learned in practical ways. This, as we all know, is one of the top keystones to learning - using and applying.
There is a huge wealth of this stuff out there on the web for us to use with our students.

But lets not throw the baby out with the bath water.
Lets teach our kids they have lots a ways to find and use information.
Then they can create their own and share it with the world.

Making Google How To's for my Students

If I am expecting my students to work more independently, away from me, on their project work, then I expect them to be confident with their "Google stuff" too.

I thought that maybe I could let them  use the How To site that I have been working on for staff for a year and a half now. This would be Ok if I linked to specific How To videos at key points in the process on their class site.

I decided not to do this in the end as I thought that the students would have more understanding if I linked the videos with what I was expecting them to do on their project sites.

So, the upshot of this has been a new section on my class site called Design Portfolio.
I have been trying to think of everything that the students might need to be reminded about when they are making their design portfolios and putting their work onto it. They can then refer to these videos when they are not in the class and need to be reminded about what to do.
I have also linked to the specific parts of this list that refer to activities within the project explanations on the class site. This is useful as I can then make one video for a skill and refer to it at multiple points within the site.

I can see this area growing to include drop downs for topics such as using Google Plus, and specific design apps that we use online.
I will do them as different pages for each different topic as the students do not like pages that are too long to navigate.

Trying out Screencastify on my Chromebook

One of the good things about Google Plus is that people are always posting interesting, useful things. Today, I read about a really useful Chrome extension called Screencastify. I decided to check this out as a possibility for my students to record the analysis of their design work. We have played with Explain Everything on the iPads in the classroom (blog post here), but I wanted to check out Screencastify as I know they all have access to Chrome on their netbooks and chromebooks.

It was really easy to set up, as it just needed you to click a couple of things to grant access. You decide whether you want to save your work on the hard drive of your machine or your Google drive. Really easy.

I chose to save to my Google Drive. This then makes it simple to embed onto a Google site.
Here is my test that I made today.

Here is where I embedded it onto my sample Level 1 site ...

When we had a go in the lesson with Explain Everything, my students were very shy about the whole thing. Maybe if they have access at home to practicing their audio recordings of their work, they can have a better go as they won't feel the pressure of me wanting it from them within the lesson. They can start again as often as they like and no one will know.

I now need to make sure that structured help is available for them to access at all times, so they feel comfortable about what they are going to say.
This is a much more likely option for students to use out of the classroom as Explain Everything was good and has lots of other functionality, but it involves having a suitable device. I know that all my students have access to this option of Screencastify.
This will also be good for when I want them to talk though techniques that they are learning.

Is 'twin communication' a real thing?

When twins Danielle and Nicole Fisher gave birth to baby boys within minutes of one another, people wondered whether it was the result of some sort of special twin telepathy. After all, what are the chances that two young women would get pregnant within weeks of one another and then deliver 13 minutes apart?

The duo insists they didn’t consciously plan to get pregnant together. Twenty-three year old Nicole Fisher put it down to the “twin thing.” “It just has something to do with that twin communication,” she told her hometown New Jersey newspaper, The Courier-Post.

But twin experts aren’t ready to explain this away with ESP.

“I’ve heard of these things happening before,” said Nancy Segal, a professor of psychology at California State University at Fullerton and author of “Entwined Lives: Twins and What They Tell Us About Human Behavior.” “It’s fascinating. But I don’t think there’s any kind of ESP going on.”

Segal thinks the more likely explanation is shared genetics. While genes aren’t destiny, she said, they tend to greatly influence our lives.

“Twins’ lives tend to be in synch, particularly identical twins,” Segal said. “And you could see how genetics might come into play when it comes to the ease of conception, for example.”

Segal has interviewed hundreds of twins and for the most part she hasn’t come across many instances of any special sort of twin communication.

“They can have very close connections,” Segal said. “They can spend a lot of time together because they get along so well.”

It’s not just the power of genes that makes twins feel so close, said Ricardo Ainslie, a professor in the department of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin and author of “The Psychology of Twinship.”

“They grow up together in the same developmental context,” Ainslie said. “That’s very powerful. And because of it there will always be a kind of intimacy between twins that doesn’t exist between siblings that are different ages.”

Model Lauren Scruggs, who lost her left eye after being struck by an airplane propeller, has a fraternal twin sister, Brittany. In a recent post on CaringBridge.org, their mom, Cheryl Scruggs, reported that Brittany’s left eye had been twitching for days. “She knows it’s because of their deep connection she and Lo have, and God allowing her to go through this with her at the ‘twin’ level,” she wrote.

Still, the whole mythology of twin ESP can be oppressive, Ainslie said. Some twins even feel they come up short because they can’t communicate telepathically.

“When I interviewed twins,” Ainslie said, “I asked about this phenomenon. And what is interesting is that many twins seemed to feel that they didn’t measure up to that myth. They’d say ‘My twin and I try to communicate in these ways. Maybe we’re just not as twin-like as other twins.’”

Brain stimulation may improve sense of direction

By Rachael Rettner

One type of memory can be improved by sending electrical pulses into the brain, a new study suggests.

In the study, patients with epilepsy who were treated with deep brain stimulation showed enhanced spatial memory, the type of memory you need to find your car in a parking lot.

The study was small — just seven patients — and it's unclear whether the findings would apply to people without epilepsy, or if the technique could improve other types of memory, such as the ability to remember events in your life.

Still, these early findings suggest deep brain stimulation may improve memory in people with memory impairments, such as those with Alzheimer's disease, the researchers said. More research is needed to see if this is indeed the case.

The study will be published Feb. 9 in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Deep brain stimulation has previously been shown to help with symptoms of Parkinson's disease and obsessive compulsive disorder.

Patients in the new study had previously had electrodes implanted in their brains, to locate the origins of their seizures.

The patients played a video game in which they drove a taxi though a virtual city and had to pick up and drop off passengers at specific locations. Meanwhile, the researchers stimulated either the hippocampus, which plays a role in forming memories, or the entorhinal cortex, a sort of "doorway" into the hippocampus, through which brain signals must pass before memories are formed.

The researchers stimulated the brain as the participants learned how to get to some, but not all, of the drop-off locations.

It turned out, participants better remembered the routes to the drop-off locations when deep brain stimulation had been used. They got there faster, and chose a shorter route to those locations on subsequent trips.

"They even learned to take shortcuts, reflecting improved spatial memory," said study researcher Dr. Itzhak Fried, a professor of neurosurgery at the University of California, Los Angeles.

However, only stimulation at the entorhinal cortex, not the hippocampus, had an effect on spatial memory, Fried said.

"It is possible that with stimulation, we are 'helping' the hippocampus form memories more strongly by manipulating the information that enters the hippocampus," said study researcher Nanthia Suthana, a postdoctoral researcher at UCLA.

Because the brain stimulation was delivered only while participants were learning, the findings suggest that such stimulation would not need to be continuous in order to improve memory, Fried said. This could mean that a device implanted in the brain could be designed to switch on only at certain times during daily activities, in order to boost memory, Fried said.

The findings are "highly intriguing," and are in line with the results of some previous animal studies, said Dr. Benjamin Greenberg, a psychiatrist at Brown University and at Butler Hospital in Providence, R.I., who has researched deep brain stimulation but was not involved in the new study.

However, it's way too soon to say whether the findings with apply to Alzheimer's patients, Greenberg said. And even if deep brain stimulation is found to improve memory in Alzheimer's patients, the effects might be temporary, if they do not counter the brain degeneration that occurs in people with that disease, Greenberg said.

A 2010 study of continuous deep brain stimulation on six Alzheimer's patients for one year found the therapy improved the use of sugar by the brain, but did not significantly improve memory. The therapy appeared safe, and the researchers said the idea warrants further testing.

Purdue Boilermakers vs North Carolina (Wilmington): A Tale of Two Halves

The Boilermakers played bipolar halves tonight against the North Carolina-Wilmington Seahawks. Purdue went into the half with a 28-29 lead following a late Terone buzzer beater.

In the second half the Matt Painter halftime talk must have prevailed again.  The defense was sharper, the fouls were less crucial and the Boilermakers were actually running an offense, strange I know. Matty's boys were able to hold UNCW to just 12 second half points to win 66-40.

The first half was a definite struggle.

Purdue started off hot opening up a 15-4 lead early, then the Seahawks started making baskets. It's obvious he is still tweaking his line-ups and trying to find what's best for the team.

Coming out of the half the Boilermakers and the Mackey Arena crowd were greeted with a technical on Jacob Lawson.  Unlike the MSG screwing, this one looked legit, although I haven't seen a replay of it. That was the first time the crowd really got into it inside Mackey, note the students did not have tickets to this one.  Lucky for the three blind mice, they called a similar call on UNCW for swinging his elbows at DJ.  That's when the Boilers started rolling.

Let's start with the positives.

Travis Carroll played like a division one player tonight.  Although he made a lot of defensive mistakes, he had 10 points going 4-4 from the field and four boards, some productive minutes for a guy that hasn't shown much promise.

Terone was wet from three again in this one.  He was 3-3 from range scoring 19 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and a steal.  He was the life of the offense all night.  His driving was productive and you can tell this team is going to look to him to put the points on the board on a consistent basis.

Raphael Davis only played 8 minutes in this one but made the most of it scoring six points and didn't miss from the field or the stripe. I would like to see him get more involved offensively, especially when Anthony Johnson isn't being productive.

A big positive of the night was from the stripe.  So far this season the Boilermakers are shooting 58 percent from the line.  Tonight they shot 83 percent from the charity stripe.  If this can stay continue to improve, we are likely to win some of those close games.

Now a few improvements that need to be made in order to be successful.

First off, Purdue needs to discover who they are.  They need to come up with how they are going to play ball and decide what they are going to be.

Turnovers need to be limited, but this will come in time.

Hammons is just a freshman, so I will cut him some slack.  I really like what I see from him, but I just wish he would realize how tall he actually is.  Sometimes I think he forgets he's a 7'0" monster in the paint.  He only pulled down five boards tonight.  He also needs to work on moving his feet defensively, but this isn't just for Hammons this is for all the big guys.  The big men are definitely the weakness of the team right now, other than Hale and Lawson who have both shown flashes of brilliance this season, Purdue hasn't seen a consistent big man yet. I'm just worried come B1G season our 5 spot is going to get handled on the block.

One thing this team is lacking is a three point shooter.  Sure, DJ Byrd has been known to light it up from beyond the arc, but once again tonight he had a quiet showing and made all but 3 of his 10 points tonight from the charity stripe. This season the Boilermakers are only shooting 25 percent from beyond the arc.  Either they need to quit taking so many threes or start hitting.  4-13 from beyond the arc isn't going to get it done usually.

Overall this team is still growing and developing and I still believe they will make some noise within the conference again this season.  They have all the makings of a high caliber squad, it's just going to take time to mesh and get into a rhythm.  Once this team comes together and discovers who they are, watch out!

strawmy57 said...

Terone was 3-3 from deep. He looks more confident than Byrd shooting 3s, but he did pick his shots, all in rhythm spot up 23 foot lay ups.

BoilerBloodline said...

Lawson has shown me in just a few games thus far that he is now ready for the big time. He is ball hawking on defense and making smart moves on offense. His stat line looks "okay" but in no way does it show his importance to this team. I look for him to continue his growth as a person and as a player. You can tell that he has matured A LOT and wants nothing less than a W every time he steps on the floor. He and the rest of this very young Boiler team will make A LOT of noise this year and in the years to come. It's very exciting to be a Purdue Basketball fan these days.

I know BDowd and I used to talk about this many, many years ago: I think Matty got a hold of "The Picture." That would make me concentrate on my free throws and defense a heck of a lot more...

BoilerRick said...

I think Hammons is going to emerge as the best recruit in many years.

zlionsfan said...

The non-conference schedule is set up pretty nicely for Painter: two reasonable tests against Clemson and Xavier, two more weak opponents to test different rotations in Lamar and Eastern Michigan, another challenge against ND, and then two more weak teams in Ball State and William & Mary in case there are any spots left that he needs to determine. That should give Purdue a stable lineup come conference time ... which will be necessary in a conference where the sixth-best team is 12th in the country according to kenpom.

One good thing to see is that they are scaling back the threes. Only about a quarter of the shots come from outside the arc, which is appropriate when you're hitting almost 49% from inside and about 26% from outside.

I think this is shaping up to be a throwaway year for the Boilers: if they can make the tournament, great, and if not, then a lot of guys will be getting valuable experience for next season. Get the bigs some minutes and some size, get the guards some experience handling the ball against Big Ten pressure, and Purdue will create some serious problems for teams next year.

The downside to landing a solid, sizable recruiting class is that once they all graduate, you've usually got a bunch of freshmen around ... but in a couple of years, I think we can put these guys up against any other team in the country, even that one down south.

Blooper reel from LA Noire reveals its excellent motion capture technology

(Audio NSFW)

Matt Richardson says: "These are actual outtakes from the voice actors of LA Noire, rendered out.

These hilarious screw-ups were generated as a natural side effect of the MotionScan animation process used to create the game.

Unlike other motion-capture systems that use shiny, reflective dots to track key points as an actor moves, MotionScan generates 3D models, texture maps, and meshes directly from a stereo camera recording of an unadorned actor's performance. The result is an instant virtual copy of that performance that captures mis-timed laughs, a tongue sticking out, and errant sneezes, with only minimal touch-up needed from an animator.

(All Figures In INR)

  1. how is it possible?? Eros Ent. has declared that Ra one has collected 170 crs till now....

  2. Hmm...its not the 7 days collection..but its 5 days + overseas + additional and ancillary collection..thats 83+32+55 crores respectively..hope you get it..

  3. how can you state the fig of Ra One as it is still running?

  4. @Vimal: Ra One and Bodyguard (at very few centres) are still running..Thats why a proper estimate is shown...exact figures will not cross the estimate for sure.and even if it does, definitely not by a big margin...notice that I have used word approx. at some places for Bodyguard and Ra One collection..

  5. Thanks for can u state a movi as hit or all time bb...just for info...

  6. @Vimal: The final verdict is based on the distributor's profits and total collections..

  7. salman rocks! here is why..

    1. Ra one had 5000 screening – highest so far. BG was 3500.
    2. It opened in regional language (Tamil & Telegu) and BG was only in Hindi.
    3. Ticket price for Ra. One is kept higher that usual other films.
    4. Promotion of Ra One started to happen almost 1 yr in advance where as BG’s was done for only 3 weeks.

    Bodyguard didn’t release on 3D, released on lesser prints, still managed about the same business as Ra One (which was marginally higher).

    Salman sleep walked through the film, but SRK and the Ra One team put in a lot of effort and hard work – arguably the most for any Bollywood movie ever!

    still, raone fails to beat bodyguard...

  8. shahrukh khan have tried to show something new which we r not use to see so some our people is not liking it. But i like the movie and shahrukh efforts so hats off to shahrukh that he spent so much money to show us something diffirent

  9. ra one movie plot copied from hollywood film Virtuosity (1995)

  10. srk iz the one is comparable 2 him.

  11. Well many were arguing with me that rajini is just a regional superstar, I would like to show this stats about overseas collection. Think broader my hindi speaking folks. Accept the fact, no harm.

  12. For ra one u didnt add the overseas collections as for the other movies bro.check ur maths

Recap: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – Episodes 2×01 and 2×02

This post originally appeared on Panels, which is now Book Riot Comics

When Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. first started airing, fans were hopeful and eager. Even I, a relative newbie to the Marvel universe (most of my exposure has been through the movies), was clamoring to see this show. And then the pilot aired.

And it was kind of a letdown.

But it had potential, this show. We all saw it. So the most dogged among us stuck with it, wishing and hoping it would become, well, less sucky (we’re getting really technical here), and finally, finally, we got what we’d been waiting for. After the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, with S.H.I.E.L.D. disbanded and Nick Fury presumed dead, the show took on a life of its own, pushing its characters to their limits and running in wildly new directions that left the audience excited and eagerly anticipating the second season.

The great thing about Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is that it’s tied into a pretty amazing movie franchise with all kinds of potential. But that, sadly, is also its biggest weakness: the show is dependent on the movies for its large, earth-shattering twists and turns. All Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. can do is fill in the gaps in between. So the question remains: can this show continue its awesome renaissance (can you have a renaissance when you’re still in the first season of a show?) and find new ways to surprise and delight us, or, without a movie to shake things up for the rest of 2014, will it slide back into the relative mediocrity it started with?

Let’s hope it’s the former.

Now, some (very) short recaps to bring us up to speed.

Our first episode of the second season starts with zee Germans in 1945 discussing a mysterious “Obelisk” that appears to be alien technology and apparently does really bad things to people. Then OH HAI AGENT CARTER, thanks for storming the Hydra castle! (and I can’t wait for your series). The Obelisk is boxed up, with strict instructions that it is NOT TO BE TOUCHED. (Three guesses what’s going to happen later in the episode.)

We flash forward to present day, where our trusty S.H.I.E.L.D. team is apparently brokering a deal (or interrupting one). We’re introduced to new characters, among them: Izzy Hartley (Lucy Lawless FTW!) and Lance Hunter, S.H.I.E.L.D. mercs who Coulson has hired to round out the team. Over the course of the episode, it becomes clear how desperate Coulson is actually becoming.

Back to the deal—things go bad and a new baddie reveals himself (who can turn into whatever material he touches, the Absorbing Man!)—and we’re off.

The big reveals in this episode: (a heavily bearded) Ward was suicidal and desperate to see Skye, claiming he has information about her father (but is he playing her? And also, Skye is now a full agent, a welcome change!), Nathan from Heroes (all right, Glenn Talbot. But he will forever be the cheerleader’s father to me) is still after Coulson and S.H.I.E.L.D., Simmons has left the team, and Fitz is alive but . . . not himself, as he talks to an imaginary Simmons (finding this out is the most heartbreaking moment of the series thus far).

As we go into episode 2 (which feels like the second part of the season premiere), it looks as though Hartley and McKenzie are dead, our guys have lost the Obelisk, the Hydra Nazi is still alive and appears to not have aged, but on the bright side, S.H.I.E.L.D. now has a plane with a cloak!

The second episode starts with a bang; Hunter’s captured, Lucy Lawless is dead (aww), and May is going after the Absorbing Man with a vengeance before being called off by (and let’s face it, pissed off at) Coulson. Hunter makes a deal with Talbot, selling out Coulson and S.H.I.E.L.D., but by the end of the episode, Coulson’s brought him back into the ring.

Al McKenzie, the new mechanic/scientist/Simmons (and a great character, I hope he sticks around) finally makes inroads with Fitz, and things are heartwarming and gooey as they try to work together. Fitz learns that the Simmons in his head is actually in his head, and here’s hoping that this is the beginning of some sort of recovery for him, because dang it’s painful to see Fitz like this!

Skye is onto the fact that all is not right with Coulson, and by the end, we learn that he’s overdue for an “episode.” And by episode, we mean Coulson drawing those weird symbols with a knife. WHAT DO THE SYMBOLS MEAN? It’s one of the many questions we’re left with at the end of this (basically) two-part season premiere.

The other huge reveal in this episode was Raina, who’s back. She’s working for a new big baddie (played expertly by Kyle MacLachlan), who instructs Raina to touch the obelisk. She does . . . and it lights up with Coulson’s symbols. Is she immune to its effects? Is she powering it somehow? But the HUGE jaw dropper was when MacLachlan said that he’ll explain when he meets his daughter. The question: IS HIS DAUGHTER SKYE??

Other lingering questions: Where in the world is Simmons (according to the episode previews for next week, we’ll be finding that out soon)? Who is the Hydra Nazi? Is Ward genuine in his overtures towards Skye, or is he playing her? What does he know about her father? And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

One thing is for sure: we’re in for a roller coaster of a second season. While these episodes have done a great job getting us up to speed on what’s been happening and introducing us to a major theme for the second season (mainly accepting damage: both externally, in what’s happened to S.H.I.E.L.D., and internally, in what’s happened to each of these characters and what they’ve been through), it’s clear that anything can happen. The new character cast is large enough that one or two people can be picked off, so I wouldn’t get too attached to any of the newbies. Let’s hope that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. can keep up this great pace for the long run.

Next week’s recap will be brought to you by Scott Carelli, and going forward we’ll trade off on who’s bringing you the latest from this series.

Thoughts on the second season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. thus far? Sound off in the comments!

1.2. Setting Up Your System

Before we look at our first example of a Mozilla application, let's make sure you have everything you need to get Mozilla running on your system along with the tools you need to create your own applications. Every Mozilla application developer will need two main tools: Mozilla itself and a text editor.

If you don't already have Mozilla installed on your computer, it can be easily downloaded from mozilla.org. You have two main choices when picking what to download. You can choose between a precompiled binary or you can grab the source. Either option will work with the examples in this book. Appendix A provides more information about the different available options.

You will also need access to a text editor. Any editor that can save as plain text will do. HTML editors will also work fine. If you normally use HomeSite, BBEdit, or another editor to create HTML files, these programs are suitable for working with the examples in this book as long as they can save files in plain text.

Although there are other tools such as debuggers and specialized editors that you can use to assist with your application development (several of these programs are described in Appendix B), the core tools that you will need are simply Mozilla and a text editor. Once you have these tools up and running, you can start working with the examples in the rest of the book.

Old bridges never die ....

... They just crumble until someone rebuilds them. While driving to work this morning, I noticed the Rte. 30 bridge that goes over Rte. 128 (just past the Charles River Canoe & Kayak Club, Newton Boathouse on Comm Ave.) has a metal plaque that reads "1962", when a big wave of highway expansion was taking place in Boston's suburbs (see yesterday's commentary related to the Mass Pike).

The bridge certainly looks its age -- weeds grow on the sidewalk, there are potholes on the road, and large gaps on the roadway where the bridge starts and ends really do a number on your car's shock absorbers. They've tried to patch some of the bigger holes but it's been a losing battle with the terrible winter we've just had and the wet weather in the spring. I am not sure if this is a state or a city responsibility, but at some point the bridge will need to be rebuilt or replaced ... not a fun project, considering the bridge's location straddling the state's busiest highway.
