Google Autocomplete for address forms makes for an easy and speedy checkout experience for customers. And, it's coming to Shopify.
You put lots of work into creating an enjoyable buying experience. But, multiple fields to complete at checkout can slow down your customers or even discourage them from making a purchase. This becomes even more apparent for customers on mobile, where checking out on a tiny screen can be a long exercise in typing, misspelling, and re-typing.
As part of improving your customer experience and helping you achieve higher conversions, Google Autocomplete is starting to roll out to Shopify's checkout pages over the coming weeks, at no additional cost. This feature will soon be automatically enabled on your store.
Type a few characters, it does the rest
Now, when customers arrive at checkout and start entering the first few characters of their address, Google Autocomplete will instantly finish the job and pre-populate their address. Wrong addresses and re-typing are virtually eliminated.
Here's what it looks like:
Simple update delivers powerful benefits
Our testing of Google Autocomplete showed an increase in conversion rate, and almost 20% time savings and error reduction on mobile. You save time by no longer dealing with incorrect addresses and the resulting problems, giving you more time for fulfilment and other business-building tasks.
Success as a merchant means getting a million details right, and Shopify is continuously working on improving every single one of them for you.
Success also means being able to give your customers the best possible experience during Black Friday Cyber Monday, and this update will help you do just that.

In the interest of future, differently chromosomed offspring, everything I bought for baby girl #1 was gender neutral. But when I found out that our 3rd and final baby was yet again a big old double X, I went girl-print crazy.
You already saw the formerly-green-carseat-turned-floral-liberty-print. Now let me show you the formerly-blue-gingham-glider-turned-floral-AMH-print. (florals and I must be having a moment)

Right now I'm trying to get Little Birds off the ground, and it has been a struggle. It's always a struggle, but these characters are not at all clear yet, and until I get a better sense of them everything is stalled.
Today I had a kind of breakthrough, which doesn't happen often. I'm writing about it here so I will remember exactly what happened, and also to entertain readers who happen to wander by.
Two of the primary characters in Little Birds are pretty well established in my head (they are Lily's children, but you don't know them), but a crucial third character — somebody entirely new — is missing. This has been causing me some distress. Of course I did what all writers of fiction do in this all-too-common fix: I found a way to procrastinate and went out to run errands.
Driving home from errands, I decided to turn off the audiobook that was playing (dry, but interesting) and turn on my current music playlist, which is set to shuffle. The song that started took me by surprise because I forgot it was on the list: Save the Last Dance for Me — the Drifters original recording.
And suddenly I had that third missing character. I don't even know his name yet, but I can see him leaning against a wall, arms crossed, watching people dance. Or maybe, just maybe, somebody has offered him a fiddle and he's playing and watching the dance floor.
Where did this come from, you might be wondering. I had to think about it to sort out the associations, but it ties into my own experiences while I was living in Vorarlberg in my early twenties. I did a lot of dancing. There were dances, all the time. Simple weekend dances. Big fancy dances for Mardi Gras or annual celebrations of one guild or another. Big or small they all featured local musicians and dancing. And lots of beer. And schnapps. You're thinking ump-pa-pa, but no. That's not what it's like at all and I'm not sure I can make it clear how un-umpa this experience is, but I'm going to try.
Imagine a lot of people crowded onto the dance floor, some proportion of them much the worse for beer, still cheerful as they bumbled along. Some small portion — maybe fifteen percent — were there because they really liked dancing and were good at it. I was in that fifteen percent.
This is a video from Helsinki, a polka dancing competition. The music is scaled way way down, but I'm posting this here so you can see the dancing. You can hear the excitement in the audience, and hear them yodeling in appreciation. This captures part of what it's like.
In your imagination you have to speed this up some, and also imagine it is happening in a hazy smoky dance hall (ca 1980), and now imagine the dancers are just regular (and somewhat younger) in their nice-casual clothes. But they can dance. Speed it up again. If you're good at this there's a lot of improvising, double and triple steps, stamping, things I can't really describe but I could do, and do well. If I had stayed there I'd probably weigh 120 and be able to carry a calf around, no problem. It's exercise and cardio exercise all rolled into a single package that you WANT. And that's the trick, of course.
One of the chapters in Homestead was meant to capture what this kind of dance was like. Now, today, while I was listening to Save the Last Dance I had a flashback to the dance I described in that chapter. This is what happened in real life: Someone I didn't know asked me to dance toward the end of the evening, when the musicians had had a couple shots of schnapps and they were just on a tear. I had noticed this guy dancing and hoped he might come ask me, because watching him I knew that I would dance well with him.
Here's the thing, in this kind of dancing. If a guy who is strong and lithe and confident puts a hand on your waist and takes your other hand in his, and then he just takes off — and you can follow him — it's the most exhilarating thing in the world. If you can follow him, and then assert yourself a little, and he responds to this … I'm going to say this but you won't believe me. Better than the best sex. To this day I remember the feel of the stranger's arm muscles through his shirt. I remember the way he smiled down at me, and winked. I remember he didn't ask and I didn't hesitate when the set ended, we just kept dancing.
I never saw him again, never learned anything about him, but we were absolutely in sync with each other in a way that is distinctly more than dancing. There were a lot of unplanned pregnancies in Vorarlberg at this time (and maybe still are, but apparently this kind of dancing is out of favor, to which I say NO NO NO), and I am convinced that some large percentage of them happened after two people click like this on the dance floor.
Now I have to go figure out who this character is. While I interrogate him you can watch this Bruce Springsteen cover of Save the Last Dance. It gives me chills, because: well, nobody can do a song like this better. After you watch this go look for his Tougher than the Rest.

Boy brings heroin to school, says when he tastes it he becomes 'Spider-Man'
HOLYOKE, Mass. - A Massachusetts man has pleaded not guilty to drug charges after authorities said his 5-year-old son brought heroin to school and told his teacher that when he tastes the powder he becomes Spider-Man.
The Daily Hampshire Gazette reports that 29-year-old Benny Garcia, of Holyoke, was arraigned Friday in Holyoke District Court. He faces charges of drug possession and reckless endangerment of a child.
Prosecutors say Garcia's son brought a plastic bag decorated with Spider-Man to kindergarten Thursday and put it in his mouth, telling a teacher eating the powder turns him into the superhero. Authorities say the boy was taken to a hospital but was unharmed.
Police searching Garcia's home say they found more than 200 bags of heroin and cocaine.
A judge ordered Garcia to be held without bail until a Nov. 20 hearing.

text: Fire in flight is such a universally horrible thing to think about that most of us probably just don't think about it much. But the tragic incident involving Kyle and Amanda Franklin over the weekend reminds us that we probably should think about it. Or more accurately, think about what we would do about it. Early reports suggests that the Franklin accident probably could have been a lot worse.Fortunately, as an accident cause, fires is relatively rare. For the monthly used aircraft guides in Aviation Consumer, we plough through about a hundred accident reports a month and I'd guess that under two percent involve inflight or cabin fires. I just reviewed 72 accidents for the Cessna R182 and found one engine compartment fire and a couple of incidents of exhaust leaks that might have become fires.That cheery statistic is cold comfort if you happen to be the poor sot confronted with flames leaping from under the panel or from the engine cowl flaps. In this podcast, AVweb editor Glenn Pew interviewed instructor Jade Schiewe about this very eventuality, which happened to him recently. It's definitely worth a listen and is as interesting for what it does say as what it does not. At the conclusion of the podcast, Schiewe makes several good recommendations but overlooks one. What about a fire extinguisher in the cabin? Let me fill that gap right now by saying everyone should have one even though the odds of it actually pulling your fat out of the fire, if you'll permit me, are probably low. On the other hand, a good Halon extinguisher-and Halon, nothing else-may be the best $100 you ever spent.As we avoid thinking about cabin fires, one aspect that's overlooked is time: In a serious fire, you don't have a lot of it and mere seconds can make the difference between surviving and not surviving. This has been proven time and again in the accident record. What a fire extinguisher can do is knock back a blaze enough to give some extra minutes or seconds to get the airplane on the ground. In some cases, it can kill the fire entirely.When we've tested the Halon extinguishers, I've always been impressed with how little of the gas it takes to kill a sizeable fire. The stuff penetrates well and in the case of an under-panel fire, there may be enough in the bottle to take several stabs at the fire, followed by careful cabin ventilation, for Halon itself is a breathing hazard. But smoke and chemical fumes are worse.If an extinguisher is available, the way to use it is to follow the same guidelines you'd use at home. Call the fire department first, then turn to the fire bottle. The inflight version of calling the fire department is executing the get-on-the-ground-now plan first, and that may not necessarily include landing at the nearest airport. In a serious fire, you need to get on deck anywhere and get out of the airplane. Even an engine or exhaust fire that doesn't impinge the cabin can be torching structural members that won't survive long. At the slightest hint of fire-smoke, smell, sight-the descent plan needs to put into action without delay. You can always call it off if it's a false alarm, but the extra seconds saved in acting quickly may be determinative.There are various ways to fly the emergency descent that I won't go into here, but the method I trained in our turbocharged Mooney was to lower the gear, slow the airplane down and extend full flaps before rolling into a 45-degree descending spiral. Without getting too crazy, that would yield up to 2500 FPM of descent. Even at that, from the high teens or low 20s, it could take eight to 10 minutes. That's an eternity in a fire scenario, which is why there's no point in screwing around looking for an airport that isn't already at the bottom of your spiral down. This is one aspect of fire risk response that I don't think many pilots of turbocharged singles consider. As far as escaping fire is concerned, being in the low flight levels or teens is like being on the moon.If you have an extinguisher, the time to use it is during the excruciating minutes it will take to get on the ground. If there's a another pilot or capable passenger aboard, you have an impromptu firefighter to tackle the problem while you fly. In Schiewe's accident, there was either no extinguisher aboard or they couldn't find it. The instructor candidate was surely in a position to use it had it been available.We've also tested portable smokehoods which are inexpensive and effective. Although I've always carried a fire extinguisher, I've never carried smokehoods, but I'd hardly consider overkill if an owner did. You will probably never need one. But if you do need one, you'll need it badly. Whether to invest in one depends on how you triage your personal demons.One last point about fire in airplanes. Here in Florida, people tend to wear shorts the year round, even when its 40-degrees in February. They fly in shorts, too, but I stopped doing that some years ago. Survival often turns on the smallest, inconsequential details and habits. To me, the habit of wearing cotton jeans while flying is ingrained and provides just that slight margin of protection against fire that make the difference between life and death. Shorts won't do that. For the same reason, when practical-and it isn't always in Florida-I wear long sleeve cotton shirts rather than synthetic fabrics.Obviously, you can take this sort of stuff to the extreme and invest in some Nomex underwear and coveralls. More power to ya, brother and sister. That might be a bit much for some of us, but I'm the last guy to toss stones at someone else's preparation. Speaking of which, my supply cabinet has three fully charged small Halon bottles left over from our last product test and after finishing this blog, I wondered why the Cub doesn't have one of those in the baggage sling.It does now.

The usbhid library provides routines to extract data from USB Human Interface Devices. INTRODUCTION USB HID devices send and receive data laid out in a device dependent way. The usbhid library contains routines to extract the report descriptor which contains the data layout information and then use this information. The routines can be divided into four parts: extraction of the descrip- tor, parsing of the descriptor, translating to/from symbolic names, and data manipulation. DESCRIPTOR FUNCTIONS A report descriptor can be obtained by calling hid_get_report_desc() with a file descriptor obtained by opening a uhid(4) device. Alternatively a data buffer containing the report descriptor can be passed into hid_use_report_desc(). The data is copied into an internal structure. When the report descriptor is no longer needed it should be freed by calling hid_dispose_report_desc(). The type report_desc_t is opaque and should be used when calling the parsing functions. If hid_dispose_report_desc() fails it will return NULL. DESCRIPTOR PARSING FUNCTIONS To parse the report descriptor the hid_start_parse() function should be called with a report descriptor and a set that describes which items that are interesting. The set is obtained by or-ing together values (1 << k) where k is an item of type hid_kind_t. The report ID (if present) is given by id. The function returns NULL if the initialization fails, oth- erwise an opaque value to be used in subsequent calls. After parsing the hid_end_parse() function should be called to free internal data struc- tures. To iterate through all the items in the report descriptor, hid_get_item() should be called while it returns a value greater than 0. When the report descriptor ends it will return 0; a syntax error within the report descriptor will cause a return value less than 0. The struct pointed to by h will be filled with the relevant data for the item. The definition of hid_item_t can be found in <usbhid.h> and the meaning of the compo- nents in the USB HID documentation. Data should be read/written to the device in the size of the report. The size of a report (of a certain kind) can be computed by the hid_report_size() function. If the report is prefixed by an ID byte it is given by id. To locate a single item the hid_locate() function can be used. It should be given the usage code of the item and its kind and it will fill the item and return non-zero if the item was found. NAME TRANSLATION FUNCTIONS The function hid_usage_page() will return the symbolic name of a usage page, and the function hid_usage_in_page() will return the symbolic name of the usage within the page. Both these functions may return a pointer to static data. The functions hid_parse_usage_page() and hid_parse_usage_in_page() are the inverses of hid_usage_page() and hid_usage_in_page(). They take a usage string and return the number of the usage, or -1 if it cannot be found. Before any of these functions can be called the usage table must be parsed, this is done by calling hid_init() with the name of the table. Passing NULL to this function will cause it to use the default table. DATA EXTRACTION FUNCTIONS Given the data obtained from a HID device and an item in the report descriptor the hid_get_data() function extracts the value of the item. Conversely hid_set_data() can be used to put data into a report (which must be zeroed first).

21:18:58 tjop: I'm hearing it now, Jim thanks
21:19:13 JimBurkeMaine: :)
21:19:24 SusanEttenheim: hi james welcome!
21:19:28 derrallg: @chrisL I thought that was for the windows media button
21:19:32 James.Sigler: Hi susan!
21:19:41 SusanEttenheim: hi mr. shelhart welcome!
21:19:48 Mr. Shelhart: hello there!
21:20:03 SusanEttenheim: please introduce yourself - where and what do you teach?
21:20:14 ChrisLehmann: derrallg -- might be. I was just making bad pop culture jokes. :)
21:20:23 SusanEttenheim: I will repost some of our intros from before
21:20:29 ChrisLehmann: <-- Chris Lehmann - Principal, Science Leadership Academy, Philadelphia, PA
21:20:41 SusanEttenheim: [Paul Bogush] CT -- 8th Grade Soc Stud [GingerTPLC] I'm Ginger Lewman in Emporia KS and I teach 5-8 PBL charter [PeggyG] Always look forward to conversations with Jane and Suzi [cheryloakes] cheryl oakes, teach in wells ME, collaborative technolgy coach [JimBurkeMaine] Western Maine MLTI Mentor [JimBurkeMaine] Hi Cheryl [PeggyG] I'm a retired elementary principal/university prof in Phoenix AZ [cheryloakes] Hi Jim, good to see you here.

21:21:03 carolynfoote: Carolyn Library Media specialist Texas
21:21:05 derrallg: @ChrisL I was making an attempt at humor
21:21:16 Mr. Shelhart: I am a career changer...a mid 40's college sophomre majoring in Elementary Education. I should be teaching full time in 2-3 years
21:21:26 ChrisLehmann: ah... I'm tired. I'm humor impaired. :)
21:21:27 carolynfoote: cool @mr shelhart
21:21:49 James.Sigler: I teach 3rd grade in Carl Junction, MO
21:21:51 kgreen5: Karen Green - Tech Teacher on Special Assignment K-8 Fullerton, CA
21:21:53 lmmaine: @ChrisL Must be the time of year!
21:21:56 PeggyG: @Mr. Shelhart-good for you! Welcome to the wonderful world of education!
21:22:00 carolynfoote: lol
21:22:04 Mr. Shelhart: I finally figured out what I want to be when I grow up!
21:22:06 derrallg: @chrisL the advantage of being on the west coast only 6:20 here
21:22:16 ChrisLehmann: ah... true. :)
21:22:18 carolynfoote: what books can provide--more space
21:22:49 Kellie80: Kellie Ady - H.S. Tech. Coordinator in Denver area
21:23:18 GingerTPLC: many teachers who are not yet tech savvy will read the book
21:23:25 ChrisLehmann: I think there's something incredible about having to put it all down in one space in an organized fashion. I can blog all the time, but I can't organize it all into a coherent narrative yet. And Jane and Suzie have done an amazing job of doing that.
21:23:27 GingerTPLC: Such as the ppl who are coming to our conf tomorrow
21:23:43 carolynfoote: good point Ginger
21:23:46 jkrauss: hi lorraine!
21:23:52 SusanEttenheim: hi lorraine welcome
21:24:11 Lorraine: Hi
21:24:16 derrallg: I was so happy when I started looking at the teachers they refer too and got that feeling of "so that's how they do it"
21:24:20 SusanEttenheim: hi marsha and kimmy welcome
21:24:43 Kimmy: what is the topic tonight
21:24:43 jkrauss: WONDERFUL!
21:24:47 GingerTPLC: true. It's nice to have that choice
21:24:56 PeggyG: Project Based Learning
21:25:07 Kimmy: good topic
21:25:08 GingerTPLC: also, sometimes we want to look at the skills before the tech.
21:25:12 SusanEttenheim: welcome jeannine and jack
21:25:13 James.Sigler: I love learning about PBL
21:25:16 SusanEttenheim: hi tim welcome
21:25:21 GingerTPLC: kansas!
21:25:37 SusanEttenheim: oh yes sorry ginger!
21:25:40 ChrisLehmann: Hey Tim!
21:25:42 GingerTPLC: :)
21:25:43 Mr. Shelhart: Some of my college courses encourage PBL
21:25:43 Paul Bogush: I heard if you come to the chat room you get a free book ;)
21:25:47 timlauer: hey Chris...
21:25:51 SusanEttenheim: such a wide range of places tonight!
21:25:53 James.Sigler: Kansas is right next door for me :)
21:26:03 SusanEttenheim: hi gandalf welcome
21:26:06 tjop: Title of the book?
21:26:07 jack -> -Webcast Academy: hi Gandalf
21:26:17 SusanEttenheim: thanks everyone for joining us tonight- how has read the book yet?
21:26:20 cheryloakes: Susan and Paul, rocking show!
21:26:23 ChrisLehmann: Reinventing Project-Based Learning
21:26:25 GingerTPLC: Paul, I guarantee if you come to KS by Tuesday I'll give you a copy!
21:26:28 ChrisLehmann: Hannah!
21:26:30 Gandalf -> -Webcast Academy: Hi there. I am listening from Palo Alto, CA.
21:26:33 timlauer: heading home in a few, just saw that Jane and Suzie were on tonight so wanted to say hi
21:26:34 SusanEttenheim: Reinventing Project Based Learning from ISTE!
21:26:53 SusanEttenheim: hi hannah welcome
21:26:54 Gandalf -> -Webcast Academy: I know the moderator, Mr.Montagne...
21:26:58 GingerTPLC: I like problem-based, but it's harder to plan and make truly authentic
21:27:04 tjop: thanks
21:27:05 SusanEttenheim: welcome back jim
21:27:08 JimBurkeMaine: Issue based, another term. .
21:27:20 hfeldman: hello
21:27:22 carolynfoote: bye all..fun to hear authors. Thanks.
21:27:51 paulallison: http://friendfeed.com/rooms/ttt
21:27:55 derrallg: @Ginger I think the book does a good job of helping overcome those concerns
21:28:02 carolynfoote: fidelity to the curriculum....
21:28:03 jack -> -Webcast Academy: Hey There HF
21:28:08 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: Hello
21:28:14 carolynfoote: love that...teaching is a creative and intellectual enterprise
21:28:44 carolynfoote: we are better than that.
21:28:45 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: or really religious....
21:28:57 SusanEttenheim: hi jfallon welcome
21:29:02 SusanEttenheim: hi paul
21:29:17 James.Sigler: PBL is the antithesis of NCLB
21:29:18 paulrwood: Hi Susan
21:29:19 PeggyG: That was a funny blog post-yelling Jane out of your office :-)
21:29:24 gail desler: "fidelity to the textbook" was the term at our COE
21:29:34 GingerTPLC: @James, which is why I love it!
21:29:37 lmmaine: I liked that blog post too
21:29:43 carolynfoote: too true--can't have both coverage and depth
21:29:45 SusanEttenheim: hi lorraine welcome!
21:29:50 GingerTPLC: you get depth of coverage, but not coverage of coverge!
21:30:03 jfallon: thx susan
21:30:07 carolynfoote: obviously we need to get your book for our professional learning community that is just starting.
21:30:18 James.Sigler: How do you plan for problem-based learning? Is there a structure to it?
21:30:33 JimBurkeMaine: What IS important to memorize?
21:30:34 carolynfoote: sorry if I sound robotic...just tired!!
21:30:59 carolynfoote: my thinking--the challenge is to bring this sort of learning into every classroom
21:31:12 ChrisLehmann: James -- I love using the book Understanding by Design as a great way to plan for big understandings.
21:31:35 ChrisLehmann: but obviously, Jane and Suzie's book is also a great resource for planning.
21:31:47 James.Sigler: @Jim memorizing is good for frequently used background knowledge
21:31:50 Kellie80: Chris - is that where you got the inquiry, research, collaboration, presentation, reflection structure?
21:31:59 ChrisLehmann: Kellie -- nah, we made that up. :)
21:32:08 James.Sigler: :D
21:32:11 JimBurkeMaine: Such as?
21:32:16 Kellie80: Well, it sounds really good . . .
21:32:33 carolynfoote: owning the learning is so important
21:32:42 [Action] jfallon: <3 UbD
21:32:50 ChrisLehmann: brb... Jakob needs water.
21:32:52 derrallg: I'm so excited to put their ideas into practice especially in trying to collaborate globally with other classrooms
21:32:54 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: I don't agree with that statement.
21:33:00 GingerTPLC: hello Valerie and welcome!
21:33:13 SusanEttenheim: hi valerie welcome!
21:33:16 JimBurkeMaine: Where does instructivism and constructivism meet?
21:33:30 James.Sigler: Math facts are a basic building block of memorization for higher order math thinking
21:33:33 Mr. Shelhart: If the children can't see a practical application to a lesson, they often chose not to remember any of it. Engagement is the key!
21:33:54 ChrisLehmann: back.
21:33:57 carolynfoote: thinking about Robert Fried's book, Passionate Learner--the curriculum IS the relationship
21:34:06 PeggyG: It's so easy to mis-judge what's going on in PBL classrooms
21:34:34 ChrisLehmann: I think the other thing is to remember that this is *harder* to do...
21:34:40 James.Sigler: True PBL classrooms may be messy classrooms, but engaged classrooms
21:34:40 sheila: Just wrapping up a project on data analysis using roadkill as the subject. Using voicethread for the first time for sharing the data and their analysis.
21:34:53 PeggyG: I observed a class last week and walked in to kids throwing paper airplanes around the room. Didn't take long to find out all about their project, math, graphs, research that was going on. :-)
21:34:59 jfallon: Learning is messy. People seem to forget that.
21:35:00 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: BBC WORLD NEWS ONLINE!!!! I love.
21:35:02 GingerTPLC: Mess-finding is a big part of problem solving, so mess is good. To a point.
21:35:14 GingerTPLC: that's the art to teaching PBL
21:35:34 gail desler: @jfallon - I agree. Genuine learning is messy
21:35:36 carolynfoote: thanks all, have to run for a bit.
21:35:50 paulallison: http://friendfeed.com/rooms/ttt
21:36:24 GingerTPLC: I call it "vague haziness"
21:36:27 tjop: I heard that last night at the Second Life presentation
21:36:29 PeggyG: optimal ambiguity? new term for me
21:36:48 tjop: Yes, SL is definitely freaky!
21:37:06 jfallon: Messy doesn't fit the current widget model of education we have today.
21:37:07 SusanEttenheim: hi gnelson welcome
21:37:16 Kellie80: sounds like choose your own learning adventure.
21:37:24 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: for once pennsylvania actually kinda mattered in the primary...but not really...
21:37:32 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: I volunteered for a local race!
21:37:43 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: Larry Farnese for state senate!
21:37:48 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: :)
21:38:26 PeggyG: Just saw an amazing Voicethread final project for an AP American History class today. (Vinnie Vitrone)
21:38:50 SusanEttenheim: peggy would you have the url?
21:39:40 PeggyG: I'll look for it
21:39:45 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: Center city, Philadelphia
21:39:50 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: yep :)
21:39:54 marsha.cruce: Thanks, have to run but have ordered your book. Looking forward to reading it. Marsha in Florida
21:40:00 jkrauss: Peggy I need to look at this voicethread
21:40:08 jkrauss: bye marsha
21:40:25 GingerTPLC: I tried to set our conf up as a PBL environment, but had to scale it back. Kids are more tolerant than adults (admin/teachers) to a messy learning environ.
21:40:29 jkrauss: guided inquiry to open inquiry
21:40:35 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: "PA is Philly and Pittsburgh and a whole lot of Alabama in between"
21:40:50 PeggyG: Sorry spelled his name wrong it was Vinnie Vrotny-looking for the link
21:40:51 tjop: Ginger: That is the truth!
21:41:25 jkrauss: thanks peggy
21:41:27 JimBurkeMaine: Exactly. . . problem-based learning needs to start with scaffolding
21:41:34 derrallg: I usually think of the workshop model and the gradual release of responsiblity
21:41:41 Paul Bogush: ahhhh---you can have a free-for-all if you unschool the kids before you let them loose!
21:41:51 GingerTPLC: but eventually that openness works, once the kids have a good understanding and feel for PBL
21:41:54 PeggyG: http://voicethread.com/#u73740.b139400.i762257
21:42:08 matt montagne -> -Webcast Academy: @hfeldman...I like that one...never hear that b4!
21:42:09 GingerTPLC: thanks Peggy
21:42:14 SusanEttenheim: tnx peggy!
21:42:17 James.Sigler: @Ginger It's funny that many teachers are most confortable learning from lecture
21:42:18 PeggyG: There is also a wiki that goes with the VT that explains the expectations of the project and includes student audio reflections
21:42:26 jkrauss: oooh
21:42:38 GingerTPLC: Paul--as Kevin Honeycutt says, we have to repair their "institutional damage" from previous environments.
21:42:40 kstevens77: thx peggy.
21:42:50 SusanEttenheim: hi paul welcome back
21:43:00 paulrwood: I hate it when that happens
21:43:02 ChrisLehmann: @Ginger -- we struggle with that in the 9th grade.
21:43:09 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: it's a fairly common saying here, and quite true. all those coal mining counties
21:43:14 GingerTPLC: PBL is tough and if you perserve through the first few projects, kids FLY!
21:43:36 GingerTPLC: but you have to help them unlearn poor "learning" habits
21:43:52 sheila: It has taken me quite a while revise projects for content, skills and time in class. Always learning . . .
21:43:55 JimBurkeMaine: What about kids who have no desire to be in school?
21:43:57 PeggyG: 13 Days that Changed America -Wiki for project-http://11daysproject.wikispaces.com/
21:44:43 Paul Bogush: Kids who have no desire to be in school are the ones who most often are most positivly impacted by PBL
21:45:00 PeggyG: I think one of the big challenges with PBL is individual assessment
21:45:18 Mr. Shelhart: @paul bogush - VERY true!
21:45:19 jkrauss: I agree paul. They have a good sniff test for relevance
21:45:24 GingerTPLC: @PaulBogush: I find that too. My traditionally "good" students have trouble not being the smartest
21:45:48 GingerTPLC: Peggy: What have you found to work because I also struggle there
21:45:50 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: Would Clinton even accept being the second name on the ticket?
21:46:07 PeggyG: I think Suzi & Jane are the experts on this topic!
21:46:17 ChrisLehmann: mmmmmm... bright shiny object. :)
21:46:29 djakes: Focus on the literacy first, then what supports that
21:46:36 kstevens77: @GingerTPLC a lot of "good" students have problem thinking on their own. they have been told what to do too long.
21:46:40 JimBurkeMaine: Should students' work be evaluated individual and/or as a group?
21:46:50 ChrisLehmann: @Peggy -- I'd say that David Jakes is one of the experts too. :)
21:46:57 lmmaine: I evaluate both
21:46:58 ChrisLehmann: @Jim -- yes.
21:46:58 PeggyG: I have been very impressed with the assessment process used in the Flat Classroom project by Vicki Davis & Julie Lindsay
21:47:06 Kellie80: Great approach, especially since there are new tools all of the time.
21:47:09 Mr. Shelhart: @jim both
21:47:11 GingerTPLC: @Jim I evaluate them in both ways. Grade cards are funky, but I think more accurate of the hwole child
21:47:13 JimBurkeMaine: :)
21:47:14 djakes: 1) What fundatmental literacy are you trying to develop
21:47:15 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: I would love to see gas prices rise even more.
21:47:21 PeggyG: I would agree re Jakes
21:47:24 sheila: Started one project without technology and over the years have added it to find I can move to higher levels of thinking.
21:47:28 djakes: 2) How will the technology add value to that process
21:47:32 lmmaine: Also have students evaluate the work of each other
21:47:37 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: I care about abortion and gay rights and renewable energy.
21:47:42 ChrisLehmann: @Peggy -- and he's a heck of a good guy, too.
21:47:46 djakes: and extend the learning beyond what could have been accomplished had the tool not been included
21:47:49 matt montagne -> -Webcast Academy: me too hfeldman...let 'em go as high as possible...let's get this over with NOW and get some real long term solutions going
21:48:00 gail desler: @djakes k- I'm writing this down
21:48:02 Gandalf -> -Webcast Academy: ditto
21:48:02 JimBurkeMaine: There are schools that don't allow group "grades."
21:48:13 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: I am strongly against mountaintop removal coal mining, as is pretty much everyone except Big Coal
21:48:13 paulallison: http://friendfeed.com/rooms/ttt
21:48:14 PeggyG: Some practical examples would be great
21:48:27 djakes: thanks, Chris (blushing)
21:48:34 GingerTPLC: @Jim yes, there are a lot of schools that don't allow a lot of good things
21:48:39 Mr. Shelhart: Grading group work with a rubric has worked for me
21:48:43 SusanEttenheim: She is wonderful! She uses woz online so here students can say woz up!
21:49:20 SusanEttenheim: I've heard her speak and she is very inspiring!
21:49:40 matt montagne -> -Webcast Academy: @hfeldman....I just saw the movie "Kilowatt Hour" which talked about mountain top removal...
21:49:42 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: My grandfather will vote for whomever he thinks is best for Israel. Chelsea CLinton came to his synagogue and sat through the service - two hours long - no photo ops, not on shabbat. He voted for Clinton because of that and so did every old Jew along Old York Road in that area
21:49:59 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: sorry kinda long...
21:50:23 matt montagne -> -Webcast Academy: @hfeldman...that is a great story...follows the path of so many voting decisions...
21:50:42 PeggyG: That's such a great indicator of student engagement!
21:51:20 ChrisLehmann: interestingly, the play that Jane mentioned earlier that our students wrote... they used GoogleDocs to write it. It is an amazing collaborative tool.
21:51:57 GingerTPLC: Some kids could be on vacation...or on a snow day...
21:52:02 paulallison: Links that Jane and Suzie are talking about: http://friendfeed.com/rooms/ttt
21:52:14 PeggyG: GoogleLitTrips is an amazing site
21:52:40 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: he's out hunting....
21:52:42 SusanEttenheim: hi lisa welcome
21:52:52 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: quail hunting....
21:52:53 LisaL68: Thanks Susan. Glad to be here.
21:52:57 djakes: I own the domain googlescitrips
21:53:15 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: that was mccain with the sunglasses...
21:53:16 djakes: Would love to do Darwin's voyage of the Beagle
21:53:22 kstevens77: @PeggyG i had my econ students research econ principles and create photo story to share w/ class. went well for 1st time. http://www.teachertube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=3331f1ad1f93fd7859f9
21:53:36 djakes: The discovery of DNA has a geographical component as well
21:53:40 paulallison: One way to comment on some of these projects is to go here http://friendfeed.com/rooms/ttt and add comments to the links there.
21:53:55 PeggyG: @kstevens77-thanks for sharing the link-can't wait to check it out :-)
21:54:00 sheila: @djakes - sounds interesting!
21:54:04 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: because everyone except george bush accepts that the environment is important !!
21:54:21 djakes: Here are my Google Earth, Maps and Streetview resources http://jakes.editme.com/cartography
21:54:22 PeggyG: @djakes-what do you have on the domain googlecittrips?
21:54:26 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: because we're removed. we're not all farmers.
21:54:38 SusanEttenheim: hi kcaise welcome!
21:54:39 djakes: Havent developed it yet
21:54:48 kcaise: hi all
21:55:03 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: people don't know what they can do except switch their lightbulbs
21:55:06 PeggyG: Just "keeping you honest" :-) didn't want to miss out on anything!
21:55:16 jfallon: How does the everyday teacher get started? Not the movers and the shakers or ones willing to take risks (or have a work environment that allows risk-taking). How do we show them that they can do this?
21:56:34 sheila: modelling? easy points of entry . . .
21:56:44 PeggyG: @jfallon-great question. I'd love to hear them talk about whether PBL is a good approach for beginning teachers. I think it requires some experience.
21:57:05 sheila: Low-key steps.
21:57:37 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: people care about what affects them on a constant daily basis.
21:57:41 djakes: @gail desler. http://tinyurl.com/ysclkv
21:57:52 valerietplc: PBL can work for new teachers, I encourage you to find a mentor
21:57:55 GingerTPLC: ask teachers what they're passionate about? And then show them how PBL makes it better?
21:58:05 Mr. Shelhart: As a soon-to-be new teacher, I'd like to hear that also.
21:58:05 lmmaine: yes, but after a few years that first year teacher reverts to the way they were taught in the past. Try to encourage new teacers to do something new.
21:58:06 PeggyG: @ChrisLehmann-how do you tweet and participate in this chat/conversation at the same time? My hero!
21:58:25 Paul Bogush: All of my student teachers have been able to walk into a PBL class and run their own -- inexperienced teachers can do it with guidance
21:58:31 jfallon: I'm not asking myself. I'm asking for the teachers and districts I support.
21:58:46 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: technology as a tool to spread awareness....
21:58:51 derrallg: For me PBL came about because I needed to differentiate instruction for my students
21:58:54 gail desler: @djakes - thanks!
21:58:57 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: online petitions
21:59:19 djakes: most welcome gail
21:59:20 PeggyG: My university student teachers could design great projects but they couldn't carry them out very well because of lack of management experience.
21:59:29 jack -> -Webcast Academy: www.dipity.com
21:59:55 GingerTPLC: and don't forget virtual schools can also use PBL too!
22:00:14 JimBurkeMaine: How is a project started? What is the framework?
22:00:18 Paul Bogush: The management comes from the engaging project -- if you have to do a lot of managing during the project, then something was missing from the planning
22:00:22 JimBurkeMaine: What is used as the hook?
22:00:23 GingerTPLC: derrall: ditto
22:00:25 Mr. Shelhart: If a newbie's classroom management skills are up to snuff, do you think PBL would be a good tool for the new teacher?
22:00:32 JimBurkeMaine: What is the downside to PBL?
22:00:34 ChrisLehmann: Paul -- not when your whole school does it.
22:01:02 ChrisLehmann: Paul -- when the whole school does it, it becomes what you do... and kids would still sometimes rather play video games. :)
22:01:12 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: y'all should check out: intrepidclassroom.ning.com
22:01:28 jfallon: Aren't video games really project based? ;-D
22:01:33 jeffmason: my guess is most college of ed are not teaching this skill
22:01:39 ChrisLehmann: Jim -- you won't get to everything. And you have to give up the myth that you can measure everything the kids have learned in your classes.
22:01:46 ChrisLehmann: Julia -- *thwap* :)
22:01:48 kstevens77: i think mentor role rather than having to control allows PBL.
22:01:52 [Action] jfallon: smiles.
22:02:12 James.Sigler: I will have my first student teacher in my classroom this fall. Should I encourage him try PBL during his student teaching?
22:02:13 valerietplc: That is true about college, most are not teaching these concepts
22:02:19 Paul Bogush: When all the college interns and student teachers I get hear that there are no tests or quizzes given in class -- they just look at me funny like it simply is not possible
22:02:25 ChrisLehmann: @James -- yes. :)
22:02:26 GingerTPLC: managing project = managing skills = empowering students
22:02:31 derrallg: I liked that with PBL that I could be reflecting with the students on whether what we were doing was effective for their learning without feeling like I was just summarizing a typical lesson
22:02:33 kstevens77: newbie or veteran, if the teacher must have total control, then PBL will not work. requires trial and error on the part of kids and teacher
22:02:47 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: is something being said?
22:02:55 kstevens77: @GingerTPLC good call
22:02:56 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: I can't hear
22:03:07 valerietplc: We need to get college professors on board with PBL
22:03:08 Mr. Shelhart: There are no tests or quizzes in my college classes...Each class is called a 'project'.
22:03:20 gail desler: Agreeing with Chris...project management is huge and ongoing
22:03:20 sheila: Been doing national roadkill project for 10+ years; think about it for next year in the spring! http://roadkill.wikispaces.com/
22:03:36 PeggyG: Student teachers often don't have the benefit of working with a mentor teacher who models good PBL classes
22:03:39 jfallon: Everything you do.. is project management.
22:04:01 Kellie80: Wondering how PBL would work as a staff development model. . . Can adults learn this way comfortably?
22:04:12 jfallon: 1) initiate 2)plan 3) implement 4) evaluation
22:04:17 djakes: See everyone later...thanks
22:04:26 PeggyG: Bye David
22:04:32 tjop: If the whole school is doing it...do the kids get really sick of projects?
22:04:35 GingerTPLC: @PaulBogush I don't know. Sometimes teachers need to up their game and consider the next step away from "school"
22:04:43 jfallon: every project, including building a house, follows those basic steps (in theory)
22:04:56 gail desler: @Sheila - oh my, road kill as a NSF project - amazing!
22:05:20 PeggyG: The time just flew by!
22:05:37 sheila: @gail - national not NSF :(
22:05:59 PeggyG: If you had Amazon Prime your book would already be here :-)
22:06:01 GingerTPLC: thanks so much Suzie, Jane, Chris, and Paul
22:06:07 tjop: sounds great....thanks
22:06:09 ChrisLehmann: I love my Amazon Prime. :)
22:06:10 gail desler: @Sheila - still, very cool
22:06:15 matt montagne -> -Webcast Academy: u can' t hear ??
22:06:16 James.Sigler: Any blogs that talked about examples of PBL?
22:06:17 PeggyG: I just joined FriendFeed -interesting site
22:06:18 jfallon: I think PBL requires a school environment where risk-taking is allowed (trial and error risk taking).
22:06:19 lmmaine: Chris, you always say it so eloquently!
22:06:22 sheila: @gail - actually now that I think about it. It did start as a NSF project . . . duh!
22:06:22 valerietplc: Thank you for all the info
22:06:25 lruzich: Thanks guys - bye
22:06:31 ChrisLehmann: Louise -- thank you! :)
22:06:48 PeggyG: Wish I could have seen/heard the Second Life presentation yesterday
22:07:08 matt montagne -> -Webcast Academy: try sandbox b
22:07:13 sheila: Got me energized again! Thanks!
22:07:45 kstevens77: you got me thinking. now i wanna plan some projects instead of grade my papers.
22:07:45 tjop: I think they have it posted somewhere...maybe in the podcaster's hut or the blogger's hut
22:07:53 derrallg: @sheila I agree and here it is June
22:07:59 lmmaine: I needed this too - naysayers are draining me!
22:08:02 paulrwood: Kyle Stay focused
22:08:02 Paul Bogush: I think it is a bit scary that this conversation had to happen tonight -- that this is just not common sense-- that we have to "convince" teachers to stop putting their kids in rows and giving lower-order tests.
22:08:06 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: it was just really quiet at that point
22:08:17 PeggyG: Thank you Suzi and Jane and Chris and...so many great people!
22:08:19 kstevens77: @paulrwood i'm fighting it
22:08:28 hfeldman -> -Webcast Academy: and whoever was speaking just blanked out a bit, but now audio's back...
22:08:33 gail desler: Thanks Suzi and Jane!
22:08:36 suzieboss: Thank you all!
22:08:37 sheila: Summer planning is good!
22:08:44 lmmaine: Thank you all!
22:08:47 Kellie80: Thanks all - my first live chat experience!
22:08:47 PeggyG: Bring your book to NECC-bet they'll sign it :-)

The Drug-Free Way to Treat Your Arthritic Pains
Arthritis refers to the pain associated with moving joints. It may result from a variety of factors, including genetics and lifestyle habits, and millions of people turn to medications for managing the pain. However, arthritic pain is susceptible to much more than just medications. Drug-free strategies to reduce arthritic pain rely on a person's five senses to combat the effects of arthritis, including anxiety surrounding pain, reports the Arthritis Foundation. While medication treatment may be available, those with arthritis will benefit from the use of non-medication approaches to managing symptoms, and they should speak with an expert, such as Omni Physical Therapy, to discuss drug-free strategies to reduce its impact.
Think About the Good Times.
Simply spending time reviewing a photo album and connecting happy memories with images has a powerful effect on the mind and body. It provides a short-term escape from the trials of life today. Go throw an old photo book when the pain begins to impact your day.
Leverage the Power of Nature.
Sunlight aids the body in metabolizing vitamin D. This vitamin is responsible for bone health and the proper function of the immune system. Since arthritis involves the deterioration of the musculoskeletal system, getting enough vitamin D is crucial to keeping it at bay. Furthermore, sunshine triggers the release of serotonin in the brain, boosting mood and acting as a natural painkiller, notes the Arthritis Foundation.
Make Healthier Food Choices.
Depending on the type of arthritis, dietary improvements may benefit the condition. As explained by the National Institutes of Health, treatment for rheumatoid arthritis combined with improved dietary choices increases the chances of remission. Furthermore, a healthier diet offers advantages in other areas of health. For example, foods rich in antioxidants, such as dark chocolate, may reduce risk for cardiovascular disease and improve mood, reports EatingWell. It leads back to better management of pain.
Consider the Use of Non-Traditional Therapies, Such as Yoga or Meditation.
Non-traditional means of treating health conditions, including yoga and guided medication, have a history of improving arthritis pain. Yoga and medication help a person relax, says the Mayo Clinic, reducing the sense of pain.
Maintain a Healthy Weight.
Excess weight places an extra burden on the body, and for those living with arthritis, extra weight amounts to more pain. However, any exercise regimen should be under the supervision of a primary care physician and trained experts, such as occupational and physical therapists.
Work With Occupational and Physical Therapists to Avoid Unnecessary Injury.
Occupational therapy focuses on fine motor movements, such as those used to hold a fork during meals. Physical therapy takes a whole-body approach to understanding the exact motions of joints and how to move them without causing pain. The Mayo Clinic continues with how the right combination of lifestyle choices and therapy may reduce pain and improve range of motion.
Leverage the Power of Physical Therapy and Alternatives to Medications at Last.
Arthritis affects the lives of more than 31 million Americans, and that statistic will double to more than 78 million by 2040, says the Arthritis Foundation. All races, genders and ages may develop arthritis, and while medication treatment may help, it is far from the sole solution. Stop treating your pain with NSAIDs and other medications alone, and take advantage of an alternative, such as physical therapy, instead. Request a consultation with Omni Physical Therapy online today.

The new "Harold and Kumar" comedy picks up six years after the duo's last adventure. After years of growing apart, Harold Lee (John Cho) and Kumar Patel (Kal Penn) have replaced each other with new friends and are preparing for their respective Yuletide celebrations. But when a mysterious package mistakenly arrives at Kumar's door on Christmas Eve, his attempt to redirect it to Harold's house ends with the "high grade" contents–and Harold's father-in-law's prize Christmas tree–going up in smoke. With his in-laws out of the house for the day, Harold decides to cover his tracks, rather than come clean. Reluctantly embarking on another ill-advised journey with Kumar through New York City, their search for the perfect replacement tree almost blows Christmas Eve sky high. (Source)

I am so curious to see where this week's cue card will take you!
Sponsor: Uniko Studio
We want to see cards inspired by the word : AQUATIC at Casology this week :)
I focused on aquatic colors and created a cutting file for my Silhouette ,using the wavy stripe overlay from the Pixelscrapper. I cut the front panel in white, and picked 3 different aquatic colors to do the inlay work.
A sentiment and 3 sequins to complete the picture.
For more inspiration check out my team mates cards!

Orthodox Church Fathers: Patristic Christian Theology Classics Search Engine
Letter CXXIX1
To Meletius Bishop of Antioch.2
1. I Knew that the charge which had lately sprung up against the loquacious Apollinarius would sound strange in the ears of your excellency. I did not know myself, till now, that he was accused; at the present time, however, the Sebastenes, after search in some quarter or another, have brought these things forward, and they are carrying about a document for which they are specially trying to condemn me on the ground that I hold the same sentiments, It contains the following phrases. "Wherefore it is everywhere necessary to understand the first identity in conjunction with, or rather in union with, the second, and to say that the second and the third are the same. For what the Father is firstly, the Son is secondly, and the Spirit thirdly. And, again, what the Spirit is firstly, the Son is secondly, in so far as the Spirit is the Lord; and the Father thirdly, in so far as the Spirit is God. And, to express the ineffable with greatest force, the Father is Son in a paternal sense, and the Son Father in a filial sense, and so in the case of the Spirit, in so far as the Trinity is one God." This is what is being bruited about. I never can believe it to have been invented by those through whom it has been published, although, after their slanders against me, I can regard nothing as beyond their audacity. For writing to some of their party, they advanced their false accusation against me, and then added the words I have quoted, describing them as the work of heretics, but saying nothing as to the author of the document, in order that it might vulgarly be supposed to have come from my pen. Nevertheless, in my opinion, their intelligence would not have gone far enough in putting the phrases together. On this account, in order to repudiate the growing blasphemy against myself, and shew to all the world that I have nothing in common with those who make such statements, I have been compelled to mention Apollinarius as approximating to the impiety of Sabellius. Of this subject I will say no more.
2. I have received a message from the court that, after the first impulse of the Emperor, to which he was impelled by my calumniators, a second decree has been passed, that I am not to be delivered to my accusers, nor given over to their will, as was ordered at the beginning; but that there has been in the meanwhile some delay. If then this obtains, or any gentler measure is determined on, I will let you know. If the former prevails, it shall not be so, without your knowledge.
3. Our brother Sanctissimus has certainly been with you a long time, and you have learnt the objects he has in view. If, then, the letter to the Westerns seems to you to contain at all what is requisite, be so good as to have it written out and conveyed to me, that I may get it signed by those who think with us, and may keep the subscription ready, and written out on a separate paper, which we can fasten on to the letter which is being carried about by our brother and fellow presbyter. As I did not find in the minute anything conclusive, I was in a difficulty on what point to write to the Westerns. Necessary points are anticipated, and it is useless to write what is superfluous, and on such points would it not be ridiculous to show feeling? One subject, however, did appear to me to be hitherto untouched, and to suggest a reason for writing, and that was an exhortation to them not indiscriminately to accept the communion of men coming from the East; but, after once choosing one side, to receive the rest on the testimony of their fellows, and not to assent to every one writing a form of creed on the pretext of orthodoxy. If they do so, they will be found in communion with men at war with one another, who often put forward the same formulae, and yet battle vehemently against one another, as those who are most widely separated. To the end, then, that the heresy may not be the more widely kindled, while those who are at variance with one another mutually object to their own formulae, they ought to be exhorted to make a distinction between the acts of communion which are brought them by chance comers, and those which are duly drawn up according to the rule of the Church.3

The Story of Neil and Pegi Young
Neil Young met Margaret "Pegi" Morton in 1974 while she was employed as a waitress near his home in La Honda, Calif. It's believed that she was the inspiration for the opening lines of "Unknown Legend," a song from his 1992 album Harvest Moon: "She used to work in a diner / Never saw a woman look finer / I used to order just to watch her float across the floor."
At the time, Pegi -- who died on Jan. 1, 2019, following a yearlong battle with cancer -- was a self-described "bona fide hippie nomad," living with her dog in a teepee that she purchased two years earlier for $200. Neil was married to actress Carrie Snodgrass at the time, but the couple divorced in 1975. Neil and Pegi married three years later.
Shortly afterward, their first child, Ben, was born with a severe case of cerebral palsy. Unable to find a school equipped to handle his needs, the couple co-founded the Bridge School in Hillsborough, Calif., in 1986. Its benefit concerts, held every year but one from 1986-2016, have attracted such names as Bruce Springsteen, Metallica, Elvis Costello and Pearl Jam over the years.
The couple also has a daughter, Amber Jean, and another son with cerebral palsy, Zeke, from Young's earlier marriage to Snodgrass.
Pegi also accompanied her husband on tour, at first staying behind the scenes but later occasionally joining him onstage as a backup singer. As she told Billboard, it was both a continuation of her hippie past and her desire to keep the family close as Young traveled for work.
"We wanted to be together as a family," she said. "So when we could, we lived like gypsies and just lived on the bus and traveled together. I tried to keep a real balance of normality in our family, and I guarded our privacy fiercely."
Even though she wrote poetry as a child and songs as a teenager, she didn't take center stage until 2007, when she released an album. Her self-titled debut was intended to be mostly covers, she said, but she was convinced to record her own work, which included two songs written during "the teepee years."
Two more albums, Foul Deeds (2010) and Bracing for Impact (2011), followed. But the couple split in 2014, with Neil marrying Daryl Hannah, reportedly in August 2018. Pegi channeled her feelings into the last record released in her lifetime, 2017's Raw, which featured self-penned tracks like "Why," "Gave My Best to You," "You Won't Take My Laugh Away From Me" and "A Thousand Tears," alongside covers of Don Henley's "The Heart of the Matter," Otis Clay's "Trying to Live My Life Without You" and Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Were Made for Walkin'."
Pegi was 66 at the time of her death.

An exhibit dedicated to owls (civette) by way of 67 works, almost all of which were created specifically for the occasion, by 67 artists from Italy, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, Greece, Iraq, Ireland, Luxemburg, Holland and Spain. Not only paintings and sculptures are on display. There are also fans, kites, jewels, push scooters, embroidery, auteur books, videos, clothes, hats and puppets on exhibit to present a harmonious and constant exchange with the cheerful decorative elements of the building that hosts the Museo della vetrata Liberty Art Nouveau Glass Window Museum which owes its name to Duilio Cambellotti's renowned windows dedicated to owls. The artists used many different materials to offer their personal interpretations of owls: glass windows, macramé, mosaics, videos, papier-mâché, cloth, frescoes, bronze, weaving, wood, plaster, multi-material and oil on canvas. Their perspectives are whimsical and witty, enchanted, surreal, evocative and poetic. The final result is that there are about seventy owls living in the rooms of the Casina delle Civette in Rome and its carriage house!

text: Adelaide Hanscom achieved her luminous and daring visionary allegorical tableaux style through sophisticated manipulation of her photographs including combination printing and painting directly on the glass plate negatives. The in this volume of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, delicate gravures are printed on tissue and tipped into the book which is notable for its Arts-and-Crafts design, the subjects (both nudes and artists of the time like Joachim Miller), and the fact that the photographer was a woman. The first edition was printed on at least two different types of tissue, one limp and thin, and the other stiff and parchment-like. Dodge published many subsequent editions with Hascom's photographic illustrations, in at least three smaller sizes, all with halftones, sometimes in color. In a 1912 edition, Blanch Cumming, another San Francisco photographer, was inexplicably also credited, although no additional illustrations appeared. In 1906, the San Francisco earthquake and fire destroyed Hanscom's entire studio, including her Rubaiyat negatives. A decade later she provided similarly dreamy illustrations for an edition of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Sonnets from the Portuguese, but her Rubaiyat images represent most of Hanscom's print legacy, as her silver prints are rare.
