I'm always slow getting started when I want to learn a new skill. I have to get my head ready…my studio has to be (relatively!) clean and neat. Check! I have to have the laundry relatively caught up (working on that!) I have to have a cuppa coffee within easy reach. Check! I have to be alone. Check! So here I am, ready enough! Today's the day! I've watched Harvest Crittendon's instructional video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7gPKa0QKIU:) twice. I've had my materials for some time now for my upcoming project: the Lord's Prayer in Latin on genuine parchment, which is animal skin. I have a beautiful piece of sheepskin, and I will use iron gall ink with gouache (opaque watercolor) and 23 K patent gold gilding to design a piece harkening back to medieval times….that's my goal!
I've chosen to use Instacoll instead of gesso as the base for the gold to adhere to. I'll let you know how it comes along.
Here are the materials I'll be using: Kölner Instacoll System Base, distilled water, Old World Ink (iron gall ink), 23 K patent gold from Wehrung & Billmeier Co., an old crystal inkwell that I'm using for a dappen dish, and a book called The Bible of Illuminated Letters by Margaret Morgan. I am going to do my first gilding on Arches 140# hot press watercolor paper…pics of two 4 X 6 inch pieces are shown in the foreground. Not starting first on sheepskin, that's for sure! Practice on THAT comes later!
I'm following Harvest Crittendon's instructions, so you can watch the video at the link posted above. First, I've drawn several 1/2″ squares on the watercolor paper. I dispensed 50 drops of Instacoll into my dappen dish and then diluted that with 7 drops of distilled water. I stirred it gently with the sharp end of a palette knife. NEVER shake the Instacoll….it will introduce bubbles and you don't want bubbles.
You don't want to brush on the Instacoll…It will be a rough and uneven base for your gold if you do. You want to float the Instacoll on…put a drop inside the square and move it around with the brush. Play with the drop…move it into the corner, and when your brush is dry, get another drop of Instacoll and continue dropping liquid into liquid and moving it around until the square is filled. Let it dry for 30-45 minutes. I'm going to eat lunch!
Okay…back from lunch….I tentatively lifted the patent gold sheet on its tissue paper square, turned it over onto the tacky Instacolled square, and rubbed the tissue paper side smoothly on with a cotton ball. Then I lifted off the tissue paper, and the gold of course stuck to the Instacoll! Here's the result– finished, burnished gold square in the middle, another Instacoll square drying on the right:
After this, I did two more squares to test drying time. I let one dry 30 minutes, and the next I let dry 15 minutes. I thought it was dry, but it wasn't, and it totally messed up…the gold did not adhere in the middle. So I will go with the longer drying time. I followed Harvest Crittendon's advice and burnished it with the side of a Q-tip. It worked very well! Nice and shiny. On to another piece I need to start today. I plan to work more on gilding tomorrow!

With a little more than a month remaining to the open of training camp on July 21st in Oxnard, I will begin a series of posts in which I evaluate the position battles at every position, and exactly how many players the Cowboys should carry on the 53-man roster.
Lets start with the most important unit that will be critical to the Cowboys success this season: The offensive line.
After the end of OTA's, it will be crucial for the Cowboys to ensure they carry the best lineman to win. Going into training camp, the battle will conclude with what I believe to be only 9 spots on the roster. The team currently carries 15 lineman but the 12 with the best chance to make the roster are listed below.
- Tyron Smith
- Nate Livings
- Mackenzy Bernadeau
- Travis Frederick
- Doug Free
- Jeremy Parnell
- Phil Costa
- Ronald Leary
- Darion Weems
- Kevin Kowalski
- David Arkin
- Ryan Cook
The two sure fire starters on this list are Tyron Smith and rookie Travis Frederick. Both first round draft picks, they possess skill and talent the rest of the line lacks.
Tyron Smith has the most upside on this line, and surely will possess a more increased level of comfort as the team's left tackle after making the switch from right tackle a couple seasons ago. It'll be up to Smith to set the the tone for the rest of the line's performance, as he will be protecting Romo's blindside.
Also, there is no doubt in my mind that Frederick will start at center this season. During OTA's, Frederick received all first team snaps at center with Phil Costa as the backup. Coach Jason Garrett also said Frederick will receive some work on the side at guard. But when you draft a guy in the first round, it's hard to believe he will play anywhere else but his natural position at center. Not to mention the mess the center position was last year in getting the ball to Tony Romo.
After those two, this is where things get a little messy in deciding who will play right tackle and the guard positions.
Jeremy Parnell and Doug Free basically split the snaps at right tackle in the second half of last season, with Parnell outperforming Free. Instead of the split this year, I believe Parnell beats out Free for the right tackle job. Last season, Free allowed 7 sacks compared to Parnell's 5. Although Free had more snaps compared to Parnell's, Free continually allowed more pressure to reach Tony Romo. It is common knowledge around Cowboys camp as well that Parnell also is a superior run blocker. Parnell seems to possess a higher ceiling than quickly fading Doug Free, which is why I believe he will start at right guard for the Cowboys in 2013. Free will be reduced to a backup role.
The most questions and controversy arise in picking who will start for the Cowboys at the two guard positions in 2013. Last year, starters Mackenzy Bernadeau and Nate Livings were at the center of the somewhat often confused middle of the line play. Frequently battling injuries, the two free agent lineman highly underachieved over and over again, even when healthy. The Cowboys simply can't afford that this season.
At right guard, the Cowboys coaching staff must decide between the veteran Nate Livings and Ronald Leary. The Cowboys do value the experience of Nate Livings but is he actually worth the patience returning from injury? Leary has worked with Frederick and Smith in OTA's and seems to be developing chemistry with the anchors of the line day by day. In training camp, Leary should receive first team snaps, with Livings forced to a backup role for now. However, some view Livings on his way out the door in Dallas as backups Kevin Kowalski and Ryan Cook can both play guard in addition to their center position. I don't feel the Cowboys will cut Livings as they value veteran presence among the youthful offensive line. I think the odd men out here are Kevin Kowalski and Ryan Cook.
Lastly, at left guard the Cowboys have Mackenzy Bernadeau and David Arkin. Based on playing time from last season, I believe that Bernadeau holds the edge here, but Cowboys nation, watch out for David Arkin. By the end of training camp I would not be surprised if he supplants Bernadeau as the starter.
The Cowboys offensive line is under the most pressure in decades to succeed this season. The 2012 line offered no pass protection for Tony Romo, and dreadful run blocking for DeMarco Murray. For the Cowboys to flip the script this season, they must be better along the offensive line. As a result I am predicting 3 new lineman to start for the Cowboys this season.
Starters (from left to right)- Tyron Smith, David Arkin, Travis Frederick, Ronald Leary, Jeremy Parnell.

It's that time of year again! Where I intend to give myself a vacation — it's the freakin' holidays, man — but end up working on replays instead (I REALLY want Bleed 2 to have them) which led to finding and fixing tons of bugs. I also gave my to-do list of features/polish one more look to see what big items were left to be done. Whee!
First: the to-do list. Other than bugs it's basically all cut. The past few months I've been chipping away at the list, implementing bits of polish and features in-between big items like art and bugfixing, and all that's left at this point are incredibly minor and superficial items. Maybe if I have time to sneak a few in I'll add them, but most of them won't have a tangible impact on the game's quality and will carry the possibility of introducing bugs, so they just don't seem worth it. An example of a simple addition I made recently was an indicator to highlight your entry on the leaderboards. It's useful, and also removed from the core game enough that I feel more than comfortable putting it in.
With that done, I gave fixing replays one more shot. Since their breaking is so hard to reliably reproduce, the game had to be played a TON, which also gave me a chance to do lots of balancing/refining on the unlockable weapons and characters — and to find oodles of bugs.
A HUGE problem I found is that many things weren't being properly reset when you started a game, including the camera and the player. So starting an Arcade Mode run while holding the jump button down (as shown above) could result in two different outcomes, depending on if the player was last in the air or on the ground. Likewise, the camera's last position was affecting its position at the start of a new game. These things might seem minor but they really aren't, because they cause a butterfly-effect that quickly breaks the random number generator and ruins replays. It also allowed for a divide-by-zero error under specific circumstances which messed all kinds of things up.
Similarly, if you quit the game while the boss death animation was playing, it lead to… interesting results. (This also breaks replays because time is slowed during the effect.) Shout-outs to Noobii as always for finding this and many others.
Plenty of bugs were also found that wouldn't necessarily break replays (because they happen the same way every time — they're just incorrect behaviour.) For example, if you taunted right after attacking, you could keep swinging the katana during the taunt! My apologies for removing what would surely have become a legendary advanced technique.
I also added some new behaviour for the menus. If you don't touch the mouse or keyboard for 10sec (or something like that) the cursor fades out because you're probably playing with the gamepad and don't want the cursor on-screen. But if the mouse fades out over top of a menu item it keeps that item selected, and it feels like the gamepad has broken because you can't use it to move off the highlighted item. Now if the mouse fades out and you're using a gamepad, it positions the cursor at the screen's top-left corner (it was the simplest fix available to me.)
Now after all that, are replays fixed!? Well… no. They're much, MUCH harder to break, but they still occasionally do (a single replay has broken since these fixes.) Obviously they need to continue to be tested, but as it appears now a 99% success rate seems pretty good to me. It's enough that I'm considering leaving them in the final game… it's not like I've ever advertised the game as having them (except on this blog, I guess) so I think/hope they'd come off like a little bonus feature, and maybe people will understand if something like that is occasionally unsteady. I suspect the average user won't even know or care if they exist.
Soooo, that was me this week! There are tons of bugs to fix and things to plan, and I'm going to have a big playtest of the game tomorrow, but after that I think I'll try and take the rest of the week off. I mean… it's the freakin' holidays, man. The freakin' holidays.

Talk about mood swings, on minute you may be angry, the next your crying. Some lucky women out there have no PMS symptoms.

In this interview with RadarOnline, the former Girls Next Door star's mother says that "Hollywood has crept in" and made Kendra into a totally different person.
"When Kendra was on the Girls Next Door I think that she was down to earth, she was fun, it was all new to her and exciting. That was Kendra...that definitely was Kendra," she explains. "As years go by Hollywood has crept in and I think it has changed her and not for the better and I never thought it would happen."
She also claims that Kendra's hubby, Hank Baskett has put his family first and Kendra's on the back burner. Ironically, she also says that Kendra has surrounded herself with "yes people" and you can't go against Kendra, so either Hank is the exception to the "yes man" rule, or Kendra's totally on board with the Baskett's being numero uno.
We know there has been some tension between Kendra and her mom in the past, but does going on camera and airing your dirty laundry out in front of the whole world really do anybody any favors? We're guessing Kendra's brand new baby won't be having any sleepovers at Grandma W's anytime soon.

As some of us know, while making a pilgrimage, time stretches out like a rubber band, and once the threshold has been crossed one is catapulted into sacred space where the present becomes all there is. That first morning in Abiquiu I awakened at dawn and ran out into the surrounding desert in my nightgown! I was in love with this place, and possessed by joy. The dusty gray sage laden hills were round, peppered with sea green spiked pinion pine, fragrant Juniper and mountain cedar. These beautiful small trees provided a stunning contrast in shape and color to the dusty red Earth.
On the peak of a nearby hill I was drawn to a solitary Grandmother Cedar, an ancient gnarled tree whose thick, rough, and wavy gray bark had been shaped by harsh winds and summer rains. Her lace-like fronds were few. Most branches lay dead, strewn around her trunk like bleached bones providing her with nutrients that might be helping her to keep on living long past her time. Startled by her probable age and tenacity, I picked up one of the dead twigs; I saw the shape of the whole tree mirrored in that one branch, just as the sparse but fan-like evergreen "leaves" that still lived reflected the same fractal patterning. I could sense a presence around and within the tree's ashen body as she bled into me; I was reminded that if she could live on so could I as I entered old age.
When I returned to the adobe house I was stunned to encounter a wild African collared ring necked dove sitting on a branch of a nearby snag. I am very familiar with these doves because I have one. Lily B has been with me for 23 years. Hundreds of these birds (who are imported because they are such good egg sitting parents for exotic species) have been released into the wild after they are no longer useful as egg sitters. With a shock I realized that some apparently survive here in Northern New Mexico where temperatures drop well below freezing during the relatively brief winters. I called out to this ring necked dove as I approached him warily, not wanting him to fly away. He cocked his head in what appeared to be curiosity but he didn't respond to my voice with a song. I was disappointed. Perhaps this dove was a female; females adopt a shorter version of the male's song but only respond to the voice of their mates. I experienced the appearance of this wild ring neck dove as a powerful link with my home in the mountains of Maine.
My first trip into Abiquiu village was bewildering because it seemed as if the winding road was one sinuous red serpent snaking its way down through the hills. The clear untroubled Chama River flowed beneath a bridge in front of us as we made our descent to the place where earth met concrete. The cottonwoods were sprouting lime and chartreuse, and mountain blue birds and three kinds of doves were singing to each other and perhaps to the sound of the river. Once across the bridge we stopped and entered the general store/gas station for supplies.
Next I visited the inn and church compound where Georgia O'Keeffe eventually bought and managed her second house, a once abandoned hacienda, where I experienced another rush of pure joy. My love of O'Keeffe's desert paintings had been part of my longing to visit Abiquiu so why was I so surprised when I opened the wrought iron gates of the church courtyard to find it eerily familiar? Georgia had once painted this edifice. I found the fragrant herb Rue growing in the garden and picked some to take into the church with me. Rue is traditionally an herb of protection used by Meso and South American Native peoples to ward off evil. Inside, the lovely chapel had stained glass with lots of traditional Christian images but when I approached the lily strewn altar I saw to my right a statue of the Virgin, and on the opposite side of the enclave I was stunned to come face to face with the Black Madonna! In Arizona I had found these images outside or behind the churches, usually in little stone grottos. The country folk come to these shrines to light candles and pray to an older goddess than the one Christianity knows as the Virgin. The images of the Black Madonna/Guadalupe that I had seen in Tucson and other places in the southwest were usually Indian looking; in Europe they are black. Oddly, this figurine was also black, embossed in gold, and seated. There was no place to light a candle for Her, this Mother of Us All, so I took a votive candle from the Virgin and lit it in front of the wooden carving. The hair prickled on my arms… After a while I left the church, leaving an offering of Rue at the foot of the Black Madonna's robe.
Everywhere I went people told their stories about how they came to this thriving artists' and writers' community and how much they loved the area. With the exception of Native tribes like the Navaho, most folks seemed to have arrived here from all over the country. Some spoke of the spiritual energy that permeated the place, and I knew what they were talking about because the energy charge I experienced was so fierce that I was having a hard time staying in my body.
A group of women that called themselves the Intrepids regularly hiked in the seemingly endless high desert, most of which was protected by National forests that stretched out all around this small village. I couldn't help comparing this true wilderness to Maine where the wild places are under siege and virtually disappearing. I learned that the logging industry was dead in Northern Mexico thanks to the "Forest Guardians." This land would remain untouched; no doubt the reason the silence struck peace like a bell.

Our Story In November 2002, Dr. Alex Himaya stood in front of a small gathering of believers at Gracemont Church in Tulsa and shared his vision for a new church—one that would breathe new life into the meaning of faith and service. He said, "Tulsa does not need another church. What Tulsa does need is a safe environment where the unchurched can come and hear the life-changing truth that Jesus Christ cares for them and died for their sin." This moment of revelation marked the beginning of The Church at BattleCreek, which offic More...

Tabata is a high-intensity interval training program developed by Dr Izumi Tabata. A session is completed in just 20 minutes, but participants are required to work at maximum intensity with only the 10 second rests prescribed in a 20/10 interval programme. It is split into 4-minute workout sessions repeated eight times. It is full on and will raise the heart rate, so what are the benefits of Tabata on your health?
Fat Burning
Firstly, because of the intensity, Tabata will keep working on the metabolism after the workout has finished. Without a doubt, your heart rate will rocket, and this, in turn, raises the metabolism. In order to work out at that level, the body has to work. If you then develop a routine whereby Tabata becomes part of your week, the BMR, which is your base or resting metabolic rate increases. This means even away from a class you are going to be burning more energy than you were before, and in class you are looking at 15 times increase to that BMR. Burn baby burn!
The Two A's
We are all familiar with the term aerobic, and of course, Tabata is a form of aerobic exercise. Your aerobic capacity it the maximum amount of oxygen you consume during vigorous exercise. Tabata can significantly increase this. Anaerobic refers to the maximum amount of energy your body can produce during the absence of oxygen. To get this energy the body burns carbohydrates.
In the original test studies that Dr Tabata carried out, participants saw a 28% increase in the anaerobic capacity and a 14% increase in their aerobic capacity.
Good for Muscle Tissue
When we use diet to lose weight, we are also running the risk of losing not only fat but muscle tissue. To keep muscles in good condition we need to work them, and the high-intensity interval training method offered by Tabata does just this and helps the body develop muscle tissue rather than damage it. Longer cardio workouts such as endurance running can place strain or damage muscle tissue. With Tabata, participants will find that their lean body mass fast goes up.
Short and Sweet
Ok, so time is not a direct benefit to health, but this can be a driving factor when it comes to exercise routines. Many people do not want to go to the gym for hours, and others simply do not have the time. Because a Tabata session is only 20 minutes long, the motivation to work is higher. Due to nature and intensity, it is also is not something that you would do daily. Rather something to be done twice a week, and with such benefits on offer, this again is a great motivator to those short on time. No equipment is needed, so there is nothing to purchase, just turn up to classes and pay the class fee.
It is, of course, necessary with all forms of exercise that you warm up the body before diving in, otherwise there is a risk of injury from cold muscles.

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney believes his side will face their toughest test of the season so far when they go head-to-head with title rivals Chelsea at Old Trafford but is confident the champions will be able to cope with the Blues' new signings and new ideas.
The Red Devils have begun the campaign with some dazzling performances against the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, but the England international remains wary of the threat posed by Andre Villas-Boas' side.
"The Chelsea game's going to be difficult and we need to be at our best," Rooney told the club's official website.
"Obviously Arsenal are always difficult but with the injuries they had when they came to Old Trafford we were the favourites to win that one."
The summer signing of Juan Mata from Valencia and the return of Daniel Sturridge to Stamford Bridge after a loan spell at Bolton Wanderers has added a new dimension to Villas-Boas' team but Rooney remains confident that United are well-equipped to deal with those threats.
"They've got a few new players – I saw Daniel Sturridge started the last game and Juan Mata played as well," he said.
"I'm sure they'll have a few new ideas to go along with the new signings they have, but I'm sure we'll be able to cope with that.
"This is going to be another big game and if we can win we'll go five points clear of Chelsea and keep our winning run going at the start of the season."
Like many of the United squad Rooney has cited the influx of young players such as Phil Jones and Danny Welbeck as a big factor behind the club's impressive early season form.
"I worked extremely hard during pre-season and the manager's lobbed a few of the younger players in and it's worked well for us," he said.
"Obviously I'm benefiting from that, with goals. There's a lot of energy around the team – it's going great for us at the minute."

Hayes, 2014: Library to learning commons: A recipe for success
Key Leaders: Working Together Leading Learning for the Future
School principals as curriculum leaders and site managers of their schools will provide the leadership, budgets and support for moving forward with library learning commons transitions and implementation of national and regional standards.
Teacher-librarians have the specialized skills, knowledge and training to implement needed change. Volumes of research point to the positive influence excellent teacher-librarians have on teaching and learning. Each school and district should work creatively to ensure that all students have the benefit of teacher-librarian expertise in information literacy and technology in learning as well as in supporting independent reading and evolving literacies. Dr. Ken Haycock writes:
|The role and impact of the teacher-librarian can be synthesized quite simply: teacher-librarians impact student learning and achievement by forming strong and positive relationships with members of the school community, especially the school principal; by collaborating with classroom colleagues to plan, develop and assess independent learning abilities in students; by fostering a recreational reading culture in the building; and by providing informal staff development opportunities.
K. Haycock (personal communication, December 8, 2013)
The Library Learning Commons Leadership Team represents the learning needs of the entire school community. Working together with classroom teachers, students and community, the vision and action plan for developing and sustaining each school Library Learning Commons will evolve.
|Leadership in the Learning Commons is team-based rather than centralized in a single individual. Each school begins with the functions desirable in the Learning Commons and then organizes various leadership teams to carry out those program elements.
The new learning commons: Where learners win (Koechlin, Loertscher, and Zwaan, 2011, 147)
The School Community, as individuals and as a collective body, has a role to play in shaping the Library Learning Commons and utilizing its potential for school improvement.
Learning Commons Support Staff are critical to managing and maintaining best resource collections, facilities and technologies for modern learning. These important players support the entire learning commons community and may be on site at the school, travelling between multiple schools or working centrally to keep information systems running.
Key Steps for Implementation: Essential Process and Conditions for Success
As schools immerse themselves in the journey of adopting the learning commons perspective key steps and helpful tools to support the process follow. It is to be emphasized that the transformation from school library to the learning commons perspective is a "whole school" transformation. Thus this integral work around learning and teaching should not be viewed as "extra work" or needing "extra time" but inherent and vital to the support and growth of the whole school development plan.
Establish a Library Learning Commons Leadership team representative of the school community. The principal and teacher-librarian or learning commons teacher invite participation from other administrators, teaching specialists or lead teachers, learning commons support staff (technicians, clerks, classroom teacher(s), student(s), parent(s) and/or caregivers and local public library or other community representation. The team, along with the entire staff and students, should work through the steps pertinent to the school to adopt a school library learning commons perspective that facilitates sustainable growth through the indicators of the five national standards.
Create a vision for library learning commons. Study the professional research, evidence and literature on this approach to school wide learning. Examine current pedagogical studies and weave key ideas into the elements of a learning commons to deepen understanding. Engage the entire school: teachers, students and other members of the community in study and renewal. See Recommended Resources, Appendix 8, and the National Project site (Voices for School Libraries Network, 2014) for resource suggestions.
Integrate the school Library Learning Commons Standards of Practice into the overall school development plan. It is not an "added" plan but a whole school learning and teaching philosophy supported by extensive research (International Association of School Librarianship, 2008) for student success. Review the five standards and indicators of success for Leading learning: Standards of practice for school library learning commons in Canada. Align indicators with school and district goals and initiatives asking questions such as, how could the LLC help to address school goals? (See Appendices 1 & 2)
Review the existing resources and learning programs already in place in your school and build on that success. Chart where you are on the growth continuums for each standard and begin or continue your journey to impact and enhance student learning success. Prepare a needs assessment to review where your school is with regard to various key components of a LLC and then chart where you want to go. For example: staffing, budget, library physical and virtual spaces, computer labs, culture of collaboration, inquiry learning, wireless infrastructure, mobile technologies, and central support.
Develop an action plan with the help of the Learning Commons Leadership team. Collaboratively develop a learning commons plan for moving forward based on your vision for the library learning commons, school goals and needs, strategies and actions, responsibilities, time, budget and your own indicators of success. Where are you now, what do you want to achieve, what actions do you need to take, what will it cost, how long will it take, who is responsible, who can help? (See Appendices 3 & 4)
Implement teaching and learning aligned with Standards of practice for school library learning commons in Canada. Foster a collaborative school culture of inquiry and participatory learning in both physical and virtual environments. Establish excellent instructional designs that engage learners in developing 21st century skills and literacies and knowledge building through utilization of exemplary technologies and resources. Build learning environments that support and nurture inquiry, experimentation, innovation, creativity and playing to learn. (See Appendices 5 & 6)
Celebrate successes but keep on getting better. Construct venues for collaborative sharing and continued knowledge building. Assess results and set goals for improvement. Support experimentation with new strategies and technologies and infuse collaborative teacher research in school improvement and future directions for the library learning commons.
|The 'work of the learning commons is to facilitate and lead a new culture of learning that truly addresses the needs of 21st century learners and teachers. It is about everyone working together to get better and better at thinking, questioning, analyzing, creating and generally improving as learners. Learning to learn and knowledge-building form the program focus in the learning commons. Fostering 'habits of mind' and 'learning dispositions' are conducive to success. (See Koechlin, 2009)
Suggestions for Professional Growth Reflection and Renewal
- Encourage the transparency of teaching and learning in the Library Learning Commons. Capitalize on collaborative technologies to achieve best practice. Build a Virtual Learning Commons. (See Appendix 6)
- Use strategies such as a collective "time log" to document library usage. Analyze the log to see what library activities could be discontinued, what activities could be combined, or what different activities the staff may want to try to develop the school library learning commons transformational way of teaching and learning. Gather evidence of progress. Think you can't? yes you can!: Teacher librarian's toolkit for student success (Ontario School Library Association, 2003)
- Brainstorm with the Library Learning Commons leadership team and the staff about unique ways to engage in professional growth through the experiential aspect of a learning commons. e.g. video conferencing, student technology coaches. Evolution of the learning commons: webinar (Kitchener, 2012)
- Engage students in discussion and planning: what do they need, what are their ideas for transforming the school library? High school – Library to learning commons transformation (Calgary Board of Education, 2016)
- Consult Staff: Bowness learning commons-3 (Calgary Board of Education, 2013) What elements do teachers and support staff believe are essential to transformation to a learning commons? Bring the results back to the Library Learning Commons leadership team to create a shared vision for your school library learning commons. Key questions: What are the desired elements of a learning commons? What needs to change? How will we know we are making progress – short range, long range? How will we know we have been successful? (See Appendices 3 and 4)
- Encourage your school library team to meet with other similar teams to share timely topics, new professional resources and ideas as well as to attend conferences or other professional growth activities. At the same time, share your questions/concerns/successes with other principals nearby and in your district for support/ideas. At heart I'm still a teacher (Miller, 2013)
- Support teacher-librarians and teachers in action research (Alberta Teachers' Association, 2000) as they implement the Standards of practice for school library learning commons in Canada. Encourage sharing of their findings at professional conferences and symposiums. TMC Canada (Treasure Mountain Canada, 2014)
- Annual reflection – take time at the beginning and end of each school term to engage in staff reflection about learning commons vision, growth and transformation – by discussion, e.g. repeating the standards "check-off" activity.
Key Recommendations to Support Continued Growth
At the Provincial or Territorial Level:
- Create a provincial/territorial review committee (Alberta Education, 2014) to examine school library learning commons exploration and development in the province or territory in relation to the Standards of practice for school library learning commons in Canada.
- Create research grants in collaboration with local teacher associations or the national symposium TMC (Treasure Mountain Canada, 2014) to foster the implementation and development of the standards. ASLC research bursaries (Alberta School Library Association, 2014)
- Encourage schools to invest staffing and resources for Library Learning Commons through curriculum policy, action plans and projects. Action plan on reading in schools / Dossiers thématique: Lecture (Quebec Ministry of Education, Recreation and Sports, 2013)
- Ensure university education courses prepare teachers of all subject disciplines and levels as well as school administrators for their roles in learning commons practice as per Standards of practice for school library learning commons in Canada.
- Ensure teacher-librarian training prepares teacher leaders in learning commons practice as per Standards of practice for school library learning commons in Canada. University of Alberta teacher-librarianship (University of Alberta, 2014)
- Ensure library technician training colleges prepare library technicians choosing the school career path for learning commons practice as per Standards of practice for school library learning commons in Canada.
At the Local Level:
- Combine community, school and government efforts to promote and implement Standards of practice for school library learning commons in Canada outlining the critical benefits for students.
- Strive to meet Standards of practice for school library learning commons in Canada in every school site by ensuring the placement of professional teaching staff (teacher-librarian, teacher-technologist, learning commons teacher) to lead the program. (See Appendix 7 for varied staffing models).
- Consider the technical library support needs of teacher-librarians and learning commons teachers by providing both professional and paraprofessional staff whether on-site, shared among sites or centrally allocated.
- Explore creative solutions to ensure that the physical Library Learning Commons is accessible to all students and staff during the entire school day regardless of school size. (See Appendix 7 for varied staffing models)
- Support the building of a Virtual Library Learning Commons for every school to ensure that members of the school community have access at any time. (See Appendix 6)
- Consider the continued growth of teacher-librarians and learning commons teachers by providing district library consults and professional learning and networking opportunities.
- Provide policies (Edmonton Public Schools, 2011) and budgets that support continual learning opportunities for schools in implementing the national standards.
- Look for opportunities to form partnerships with other groups that are also working toward improving learning now and for the future, e.g. Parent engagement story (Ontario School Library Association, 2014) National Reading Campaign (National Reading Campaign, 2013) MediaSmarts (Media Smarts, 2014)

How did the Hebrews' religious views influence their development as a society within Mesopotamia?
- print Print
- list Cite
There are two things that really stand out in relation to your question. The first of the Hebrews' views to influence their development was the belief in one God. This ideology stood in stark contrast to their polytheistic contemporaries and was a driving force in their society. The ancient Hebrews were a true theocracy, in that their society was ruled by the laws of God (10 Commandments) and their leaders were accountable to a higher authority, not just their own desires.
The second is the idea that their land was given to them by God. The "Promised Land" drove their military actions, their society and thoughts, and in many ways gave them a sense of hope in times of despair.
The belief in these two core ideas (God, and a homeland) gave the Hebrews a sense of continuity which allowed them to survive even as they were enslaved and dispersed.

Now Over 3 Years Old, Best Road in NY State!
NY Route 3: The Olympic Trail
NYRoute3.com: OlympicTrail.com
Northwestern Franklin County end after you cross the Raquette River and leave the St. Regis, Akwesasne Mohawk Reservation tribal lands, or the town of Hogansburg. Now you are in NY State's largest county, Saint Lawrence. NY 37 now becomes a beautiful 4 lane divided road all the way through Massena, with a couple of good rest areas thrown in. Before Massena, you can get to Cornwall, in Ontario Canada via the Cornwall Bridge or get to the Alcoa Aluminum plants, where they use the cheap hydro-electric power; necessary for aluminum reduction. You turn north or right just before the Wal Marts on NY 131(7 miles from county line) to get to the Robert Moses State Park, Eisenhower Lock, Power Dam and the St Lawrence River and Lake Lawrence.
Heading straight north on NY 131 off of NY 37, you go under the Eisenhower Lock in a tunnel. Do that when a 20,000 ton ship or laker is steaming through above your head. Or check out the lock's visitor center, open Memorial to Labor Day. North of the lock, on the first island, is Robert Moses Park. The western half of Robert Moses State Park is a typical New York State park with a pay-to-camp campground, in season, and other suburban amenities. The eastern half of the park, off of Robinson Bay Road, after the main reception area and shops, is more rough and you can camp for free sometimes. There is no hunting in the Park. But there is great waterfowl hunting from boats. There is a boat launch, off of Robinson Bay Road heading north, at the base of the spillway. This is a popular fishing spot and great state boat launch. There's another at Hawkins Point Overlook and Visitors that gives a panorama of the hydro dam.
If you continue north out of the park, past the reception area, you'll cross a bridge and be on the second island, Barnhart Island, that holds the St. Lawrence International Hydropower plant and dam of the NYS Power Authority. Half the turbine-generators are ours, the other half are Canada's. Now, the dam area is closed to visitors due to security concerns. The island's grounds are huge and landscaped very rustically and well. There is a great picnic area on the west side, but it's part of the Park so they charge during the season. It looked like there was an old apple orchard there at one time, judging by all the trees. Located half way to the dam on Barnhart Island is a sign informing you that since you just crossed the 45th parallel, you're halfway between the equator and the north pole. There is a pay to park beach on Lake Lawrence. Lake Lawrence is the backwater of the dam on the Saint Lawrence Seaway. There are deer everywhere on the grounds, so watch out! Then, if you drive out south back towards NY Route 131 and Massena, turn right or west and this custom built road, NY 131, will take you by all the interesting spots on the St. Lawrence Seaway heading southwest. About ten miles west, NY 131 will end and merge back with NY 37. The state is calling this scenic byway the Seaway Trail, of course!

Teenage - The Prehistory of Youth Culture 1875 - 1945
In his previous landmark book on youth culture and teen angst, the award-winning "England's Dreaming," Jon Savage presented the "definitive history of the English punk movement" ("The New York Times"). Now, in "Teenage," he explores the secret prehistory of a phenomenon we thought we knew, in a monumental work of cultural investigative reporting. Beginning in 1875 and ending in 1945, when the term "teenage" became an integral part of popular culture, Savage draws widely on film, music, literature high and low, fashion, politics, and art and fuses popular culture and social history into a stunning chronicle of modern life.
"The definitive history of youth in revolt, from the gaslight age to the dawn of rock."
-David Fricke, "Rolling Stone"
"Compulsive reading . . . "Teenage" is a rich, rewarding book that makes an important contribution to cultural history."
-Camille Paglia, "The New York Times Book Review"
"Resonant . . . Savage explores . . . [an] array of teenager types, from the wild, sensational precursors to juvenile delinquency to the straight-laced good-citizen proto- preppie. It's Savage's claim to being a great historian, and it's mighty convincing."
-"The Onion"

I love this time of year when the strawberries are in full bloom. I remember as a child attending a strawberry festival every year with my family. We would get a string on our wrist and this would entitle us to eat as many strawberry shortcakes as we could.
I thought it would be fitting to begin our Preservation Kitchen category with a simple and delicious strawberry jam. I like to dress these up with a red plaid cloth as a bonnet. To do this, simply trace the cap on the wrong the fabric. Leave a 4 inch margin around the circle and cut. Tie a ribbon around the lid to secure. Label the jars and enjoy. Jams make wonderful hostess gifts.
The best, always,
Strawberry Jam
Place the strawberries in a bowl and use the back of a fork or a potato masher to crush the strawberries. Measure 4 1/2 cups of strawberries and transfer the strawberries and orange zest to a saucepan. Add the pectin to the strawberries mixture. Turn the heat to high and stir until the mixture is boiling. Please keep a loving on the strawberries. Add the sugar to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil again, stirring constantly. This step is very important. Remove the saucepan from the heat. With a spatula remove the white film if there is any. Pour the jam into half pint jar leaving 1/4 inch of space from the top. This will allow for expansion during the sterilization process. If you have a canning kettle use it for this step. If not, 4-5 dish towels on the bottom of a 1/s gallon pot. Please certain there is enough of a cushion for the jars. They will rattle when processing. Add the jars to the pot and add enough water to 2 inches above the lid. Bring the pot of water to a boil and process for 10 minutes. .
