Traveling Tails ~ Boston
Museum of Fine Arts
Harry Potter Exhibition at Museum of Science
Guitar Hero Laser Show at Museum of Science
Boston Ballet ~ Nutcracker
Afternoon Tea at the Plaza
Coffee shops
Charles St.
The Freedom Trail
Revere Beach (Atlantic Ocean)
Mike's Pastry Shop & Hanover St.
Cheers (both)
Boston Symphony
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
We had three hotel rooms in four nights. The sink leaked in the first one, the second one was a handicapped room with a drive in shower that resembled a locker room and there were teenagers a few rooms down who were seriously committed to hallway races at 3:30 in the morning. After a brief discussion with the management, we were put into a very nice room on the executive level for the last two nights.
We walked over the better part of Boston, taking it all in and enjoying it, but none of the walks was quite as good as the late night walk through a downpour rain under a shared umbrella. It was a bit of a long walk as I'd directed our path several blocks left when we should have gone one block to the right... but it was still very nice.
On the train to the Boston Symphony, I'd been sitting next to a rather shabby looking young man (whom Mr. Black is certain was a gang member), and when his stop came, he stood to get off the train and motioned with his head for me to follow him. I was shocked and tried my very best not to erupt in hysterical laughter. The boy was quite serious. He tried to convince me, without words, but to no avail, so he finally gave up and left me there with Mr. Black.
Mr. Black took over the Navigator duties after I discovered we'd been on the wrong train for half an hour; en route to the Museum of Fine Arts. Oops.
We drank 6 pots of different teas at our Afternoon Tea at the Plaza and visited with their resident tea sommelier, Cynthia Gold, who is a wealth of information on one of my favorite beverages and a wonderful lady.
I loved leaving footprints in the sand on Revere Beach, and slipping some pretty shells into my pocket, to touch when I am aching for the sea.
The rest of the stories will be saved for another day. It was a very nice trip, indeed.

Just A Note Or Two
D: There is another upcoming journey which Viaggiatore and I will be posting about soon! We haven't seen the ocean since April and it's time to go again; although I have a feeling it will be much too cold to put our toes and paws into the waves! We'll enjoy the creme pie and delicious Italian food from the little Italy neighborhood in the northern part of this old seaside town. We'll walk trails and beaches, see stunning works of art and even drop in on Harry Potter! Of course, we couldn't visit Harry without bringing Mr. Black along for the adventure! Photos and stories to come in a few weeks.
E: Viaggiatore and I are off to enjoy Turandot from the Met Opera tomorrow night; no photos but definitely comments from that, to come soon as well.
Until we wander back again!

Another Brief Interblued!
Monday, July 27, 2009
Wandering Into A Bath ~ Destination Thirteen
We were indeed visiting the Skeleton Coast of Namibia, and if you haven't checked this haunted ruin of a graveyard out, it's well worth a look!
Current points:
Michelle: Bleeding Espresso 4 points
Rel: Under The Microscope 2 points
Hearts: Guilty With An Explanation 2 points
Lee: Dancing Crow 2 points
Vanilla: Absolute Vanilla 1 point
As soon as Vanilla found us, we were off again!
Viaggiatore and I have turned and gone in the opposite direction, to go have a very special bath!
Destination Thirteen~
Between the Ankh and the Crescent, a former capital city where every ruler built his own palace.
The bath of the first is now filled but once a year.
Once an emporer's bath, it is now a shrine.
What have we gone to see?

Wandering Into Sand & Sea ~ Destination Twelve
Congratulations to Lee of Dancing Crow, who won the last point! Great job! That was a tough one. The scores now stand as follows: Michelle (Bleeding Espresso) has 4 points, Heart in SF (Guilty With An Explanation) has 2 points, Rel (Under the Microscope) has 2 points and Lee (Dancing Crow) has tied them with 2 points! Fantastic work everyone!
If you haven't started playing then join in! We have a long way to go and right now the possibilities are wide open! Viaggiatore (the lion on the beach at the top of the page) and I are wandering around the world throughout the year 1893. Everything that we are seeing will either have been invented, discovered or existed by that year. At the end of the journey, whoever has the most points (earned by guessing where we are or whom or what we've gone to see) will win The Wanderer's Treasure Bag!
Viaggiatore and I love the sea. But we're not quite there yet... where have we gone now?
Destination Twelve ~
By an ocean of water and still it is sear.
A cemetery of ships too far from the waves.
A very deep beach.
**extra hints**
We are south of Angola... and it is very dangerous here. There is but one way into these foggy gates of hell and no way out.
Good luck!

A Brief Interlude ~ With A Katana
In the interim, here's a head turner for your entertainment:
A Sword Wielder Robs Walgreens In Glendale (as published in the Denver Post) ~
GLENDALE — A 19-year-old man held up a Walgreens in Glendale with a sword Tuesday evening.
He ran off with a cache of the painkiller Oxycontin, but he was chased down by police about a hundred yards away, according to authorities.
The man's name wasn't released pending his booking, said Glendale police Sgt. Joe Silla.
The red-haired teen, dressed in black jeans and a black T-shirt, wielded a Samurai-style sword during the 6:30 p.m. holdup, Silla said.
You know times are rough when a kid resorts to holding up a Walgreens with a sword for painkillers.
Truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

Wandering Into Medius Terra ~ Destination Eight
The Wandering game has really taken off! Michelle at Bleeding Espresso now has four points, HeartinSanFrancisco from Guilty With An Explanation and Rel from Under the Microscope are tied with 1 each and 2 steps behind the mask has made several concerted efforts, for which Viaggiatore and I are quite delighted. The owners of these three blogs, by the way, are excellent writers and photographers, all three, which is one of the myriad of reasons why Viaggiatore and I love them so much. It would be worth your time to wander off to their pages to read a little, and I'd bet you'll be so glad that you did.
Life is too short to lurk. If you are reading but not playing, you are missing out. Get in the game! We've got a whole world to see, and plenty of time for everyone to make their mark! We are racing for a wonderful prize, The Wanderer's Treasure Bag! It's very special, there is only one of them in the world and we are giving it away to the winner!
So come along then, and play with us! Don't miss out!
Now then...
Destination Eight~
Sometimes as land
Sometimes as sea
Survival played out
For the entertainment

Walking Through Echoes Of The Past
The purpose of the trip was to trace my family's history and heritage back as far as I could, to photograph and document the lands and places that they existed in, to reach back through time and history and make a connection that all my living family and our children's children could keep; so that our past will never be lost again. It's important to know where we came from.
Paris was en route, and it was so lovely... it was a beautiful dream. Scotland was an entirely different world.
We arrived late in the night and traveled by bus from the airport into the dark city. We might have been in a time traveling vehicle, as it seemed to be an anachronism; the only thing from this century that we could see in the world around us. Old stone walls and buildings, dim street lamps, narrow lanes and round-abouts, a winding twisting ride that eventually brought us to the center of the city, at the feet of an enormous fortress that loomed over us and glowed like a beacon in the blackness; Edinburgh Castle.
Morning's light found us in our bed and breakfast; a large old stone house, kept by a very kind couple. The city morphed into a slightly more modern machine during the day. We were served (every morning for the duration of the trip), a "Full Scottish Breakfast" which consists of sausage, an enormous slab of ham, eggs, cut tomatoes, sauteed mushrooms, red beans, cereal/porridge, fruit, toast (more toast?), and haggis & black pudding (if we were so inclined, and we were not), with coffee, juice, and tea. It is delicious, it is monstrously huge, it is serious protein, and a heart attack on a plate. We loved it!
We got our car after breakfast... the steering wheel is on the right side (passenger side in the states) of the car. It was a standard transmission; 5 speed, so fifth gear and reverse are next to the drivers left knee. I did all the driving. It was a bit
Our goals in focus, maps and plans at the ready, we took off to delve back hundreds and hundreds of years into the history of my forebears.
Our first priority was Scone Palace, where a special tribute to the Royal Stewart family was being performed. I must take a moment to thank Miss Pamela Lawrence from Scone Palace, without whose invaluable aide, we'd have had a much more difficult time. She has earned a sainthood from us for her kindness and extremely helpful advice.
Scone Palace is where the Kings of Scotland were crowned, at a little stone seat (the Stone of Destiny) in front of a tiny chapel. The chapel and the Stone of Destiny (or rather, a replica of it), are still there.
I sat on the stone, in the place where four of my great-grandfathers were crowned Kings of Scotland, and it was a humbling, reverent experience. I gazed out over the castle grounds and at the walls of the castle; where they looked, where they walked, where they stayed briefly. My feet rested on the ground that they stood on. Time began to fade then, and with every breath the shadows clouding the centuries between us evaporated like the Scottish fog burning off in the light of day.
The air in Scotland is cool and damp, and strange as it may seem, it is invigorating. We were both filled with an excited energy that ignited a love in us for this country and its people that will never fade. The fog and rain come and go as do the tides that wash up on the shores there. The sun plays hide and seek, and just when you think it's gone, it dances out gloriously scintillating and colors the air with rainbows.
I felt the thickness of time around me; like it hadn't gone anywhere at all, it just kept happening and filling space around the land, without end. Every place that we went and every step that I took felt like walking through ages where there was no barrier to separate them from each other and from me as I made my way in and through those moments.
We visited some new friends in Peebles and had a wonderful, albeit much too brief, time with them. They showed us Melrose Abbey, where the heart of King Robert the Bruce is buried. He told his men when he died, to carry his heart to the holy land as they joined the crusades and to bury it there in the holy temple, but the quest failed and his men brought his heart back to Scotland and there it lies now, in the quiet green ground under the towering ruins of Melrose Abbey. I knelt at the monument over my great-grandfathers heart, and 18 generations & 680 years fell away like leaves in the fall. My hands on the monument, I thought of the heart that lay beneath it, and of the man to whom it belongs. My heart pushes his blood through my body. I exist because he did. I breathed in the air around me as well as the endless moment, suspended as it was, in time.
Melrose Abbey is amazing, it is beautiful, and it is enormous; I tried to imagine what it looked like before it was destroyed by humanity and the ages. It is sacred to me for the simple reason that it holds such a precious part of my ancestry.
From Melrose, we went on to Flodden Field. Our friends told us, Scarlett, it is but a field... in the middle of nowhere... really, it's just a field. I know, I said with a smile, but I have to go, it's part of the journey. Another of my great-grandfathers died in battle there; Duncan Campbell. I must go. And we went.
Flodden Field is in England. Crossing the Scottish and English border is much like crossing a state line in the US. There's a small sign, and by small I mean maybe 3 feet by 4 feet. 'You are now entering England'. Flodden Field, site of the Battle of Flodden, is tucked away down an old winding country dirt road, one that twists and bends past farms and meadows and the odd fence. There is a tiny old country church at the base of the hill. At the top of the hill is a concrete Celtic cross, probably about 6 feet tall, maybe a little more. We parked and walked through a narrow wooden gate to the stairs that lead up to the top of the hill.
It is a field, and then it is absolutely not at all. Standing there in the clean, quiet country breeze, we could see all the world around us, and the dirt and grass at our feet. We could feel the peace that is there now, blanketing the sounds of battle that seem to echo just out of reach... the shouts of men, the clang of armour and weapons, the cries of desperation... how much blood spilled into that soil? The blood of 12,000 men; one of them another reason that I am alive and was standing where he had fallen. I wondered what he might have thought on his last day, marching across that land, wondering if he would live or die. How powerful that must have been... every sense heightened, every emotion racing through every fiber of his being at it's utmost capacity... and then it was lost, all of it, and he was gone.
The loss of life there and the ensuing peace is tangible. It can be felt through the body, mind, and soul, it can be sensed in the air and on the wind. I will never, ever forget what it felt like to be there.
We visited Stirling Castle, which is now a tourist stop overlooking Bannockburn Field, where a larger war was fought by my great-grandfather King Robert the Bruce, and where, just on the other side of the field, the Wallace monument looks on the castle. Stirling is a fortress, just like Edinburgh Castle. High on a hill, almost impenetrable... they really knew how to build them back then. It is the jewel of the city, rising above it all. It is very well kept up, and has seen changes over the centuries since my grandfathers walked through its halls.
Edinburgh Castle is much the same as Stirling; so very old a structure but one that is updated and hosts throngs of sightseers every day. There are hints and remnants of my family's history here and there; emblems of their coats of arms color the glass in the windows, and paintings of those arms adorn some of the walls. It is incredible to walk past the heavily guarded display of the crown, the kings sword, and the (possibly) real Stone of Destiny that are safely secured under glass and watchful eye. They are stunning, breathtaking in their strength, size, and grandeur. These are pretty artifacts in my mind, not a soul binding connection to the men that used them, and that connection is what I was after on this sojourn.
I found the most significant connection at Dunfermline Abbey. King Robert the Bruce's heart is buried in Melrose, but his body is buried at Dunfermline. It is also the place where my favorite great-grandfather, King James I of Scotland was born. Again I knelt, this time at the foot of my great-grandfather's tomb. It is a beautiful tomb made of red marble background, inlaid with his image in shining gold. There is a little plaque there, requesting... 'please do not touch'. I did so much more than touch. Just as it was at Melrose, every shroud between us vanished, and there we were, the two of us; he and I... seeming to regard each other in this space without walls, without boundaries or confines or laws of time and place. It was surreal, it was breathtaking and inexplicable.
Mr. Black and I visited many places in Edinburgh, including The Elephant House where JK Rowling began Harry Potter's life, and the Balmoral Hotel where she ended the tale. We had a fantastic time dancing at the coolest club I've ever been in, Frankenstein's, next door to The Elephant House. We were dumbfounded that we could not seem to find a Scottish restaurant for dinner anywhere in the country! They are big on foreign food; we had Chinese two nights, Mexican one night, Indian one night, and a delicious version of chic American one night. We filled up on the full Scottish breakfast every morning though, so it kind of worked out.
We spent one night at our new favorite bed & breakfast, just up the coast in Stonehaven, because I wanted to sleep by the sea. We were about 10 feet from the sand and waves, I couldn't have been closer unless I'd been in a boat. This was a perfect place to stay, our hosts there were absolutely delightful and so sweet that we didn't want to leave at all. We loved the little seaside town, with its cobblestone streets and old stone buildings. The ocean mist on our skin and the salt of the sea on our lips was delicious. We stood on our patio in the dark of night with a blanket wrapped around us for warmth against the storm that was tossing the sea into a tempest, and watched the swelling waves crash into the rocks and shore for a long while. I spoke Edgar Allen Poe's poem, Annabel Lee, and I'd have stayed the entire night out in the misty fog, hypnotized by the pulsating tide, if Mr. Black hadn't gently urged me back into our room.
When our plane lifted off from Edinburgh airport and flew over the lands end where the Atlantic Ocean washes its shores, I wept. Mr. Black and I both wanted nothing more than to stay there in that lovely country filled with the very kindest souls, daffodils as far as the eye could see, cool misty air, old castles and ages upon ages of history... but reality insisted that we come back here, where we can dream about that other world when we sleep, and find ourselves back in the arms and heart of that country again.

Twilight Reminiscing
The stories remain to be told, like secret jewels tucked away in safe pockets that I pull out a few at a time, to hold in my hand, to touch softly and turn over and over, re-examining every aspect of them... and I will share some of these lovely gems with you.
Mr. Black and I saw and did just about everything in Paris. Almost everything I didn't do the last time I saw Paris... I am still wandering through these memories every single day, so lovely are they, and so absolutely treasured.
We walked through Montmartre and climbed the steps to Sacre Coeur. When we reached the top, we watched the sun setting and I made that photo of the Eiffel Tower in the pink light of days end. We wandered through the basilica, looking at every detail and immersing ourselves in its beauty. We ate in a little bistro just a block away from the basilica, and the musicians there indulged my request for "La Vie En Rose"... in French, which I've never heard before. When we left, we stopped to watch the Eiffel Tower shimmering and sparkling like a diamond at the top of the hour.
A violin player (you'll see him in the Paris post) was very sweet and played "Con Te Partiro (time to say goodbye)" by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman for us, when I stopped to photograph him. We rode carousels, made new friends, walked in awe and reverence through St. Chappelle (which is my favorite chapel in the world), and through the halls of Notre Dame. We had lunch at a little outdoor cafe in the Latin Quarter and suffered a truly snobby Parisian waiter, we walked along the Seine in the early afternoon light, past the pyramid at the Louvre, through the Tuileries, and barely escaped the traffic around the Concorde with our meager lives. We made wishes in countless fountains and admired the grandeur and loveliness of Paris. Two hours in line at the Eiffel Tower was no sacrifice at all for the moment that we stepped out onto the top level and watched the sun set over Paris from that breathtaking vantage point.
Mr. Black and I wandered through the Musee D'Orsay and marveled at the works there, and then I introduced him to Mona Lisa and a few corners of the Louvre. We wandered the city of lights in the evenings, up and down the Champs Elysees and throughout so many neighborhoods.
We left footprints in the gardens and hall of the Palace of Versailles, looking, laughing, enraptured, taking it all with us as we walked away. There was a very special dinner cruise down the Seine in a glass boat, and we saw the city all over again in a whole new light, and it was completely different and utterly amazing. We stood in wonderment and gazed at the glory of the Palais Garnier; the old opera house, when it is flooded with light at night, which is nothing short of stunning... and then we walked all the way around it, to see it from every angle.
Paris captured our hearts and held us spellbound with its beauty, mystery and treasures. We didn't want to leave at all, but on the way out of the city, she gave us one last sweet gift. I'd been on a quest to hear someone play "La Vie En Rose" on an accordion (both trips, hadn't happened), when lo and behold, our train was almost at the airport when I looked at Mr. Black and said, "That was almost perfect. Just one thing... where's my musician to walk through the train car and play this song for me on his accordion?" ...and not a minute later, a man walked into our train car with an accordion and played my song for me.
"...hold me close and hold me fast, the magic spell you cast, this is la vie en rose... when you kiss me, heaven sighs, and though I close my eyes, I see la vie en rose... when you press me to your heart, I'm in a world apart, a world where roses bloom... and when you speak, angels sing from above, every day words seem to turn into love songs... give your heart and soul to me, and life will always be la vie en rose..."

"I got interested in perception by accident!" – Yasmina Jraissati
What is the most interesting paper you came across recently? Why?
I was stimulated by Levinson and Majid's "Differential ineffability and the senses". They ask whether smell and other sensory modalities like vision are differentially ineffable for structural or language/cultural relative reasons. It also offers interesting ideas as to how to account for cross-modal associations using dimensions of perceptual space. I don't agree with all their ideas, but this paper certainly raises interesting questions.
What's your preferred sensory modality? And why?
I've recently grown fascinated with the integration of vision and touch. It provides an interesting framework for our understanding of color perception, and its relation to surfaces and space.
How did you begin to be interested in perception?
By accident! Color turned out to be the best case to examine the interaction of language and perception.
Among your recent papers which is your favourite and why?
I like "Why do we name 7 colours in the rainbow?". I think with this paper I was able to finally concisely and specifically articulate the discussion around color categorisation, as well as define the question that determined the next steps of my research – and it's short!
Whose work had the biggest influence on your life?
Could you describe one mundane detail of your research day?
I do not, under any circumstance, look at my e-mail before 12:30.
What does open research mean to you?
I think it's right, and necessary. We have to find ways to make this work.

I'm going to break this post up into two because one post will be too long and possibly bore you to death. Let's get one thing straight: San Francisco is where I belong.
We started out our first day with the breakfast of champions: Crêpes.
My parents and I got up bright and early to conquer the day with vigor. We walked to Fisheman's Wharf(I know, super touristy) and rented bikes(once again...super touristy).
As we were walking, we passed a club called Club Bimbo and guess who was playing...GIRLS. What a coincidence right? I mean San Francisco is their home base, they are on tour, AND they just happened to be in The City on that exact night. The only drawback was that I didn't get to see them...):.
We biked across the Golden Gate bridge(yes, touristy once again), and then headed on up to Haight Ashbury. Let me tell you, that place blew me away. It is the most eclectic place I've ever been. There are music stores, smoke shops, vintage stores, cafés, and little boutiques. I guess that makes sense though, considering it is hippy-haven. I went to Amoeba Music which is the raddest record store I've ever encountered. You could literally find any band there ever was at that place. I also went into a couple sweet vintage stores. I didn't get anything..all way too expensive.
|My beautiful mama.
After Haight St. we went to the Ferry Building which is chalk full with local artisan food vendors. Coffee and gelato is where it's at. We left the Ferry Building after stuffing ourselves and walked back to Union Square, which is where we stayed. As we were walking, we stopped and found this tiny park. I ventured into it and I felt absolutely weightless. I felt a wave of serenity wash over me. I looked over the bay and I couldn't help but smile. This park was a little place of peace and quiet. I could only hear the breeze and school kids singing below. It was outstanding. That is the moment when I knew San Francisco was my home.

|And this is where I fell in love...

UUA Trustees Christina Rivera And Tim Atkins And Such Despicable Crimes As Pedophilia And Rape Committed By Certain Unitarian Universalist Ministers - What's The Connection?
Just for starters. . .
How many years have you, and Tim Atkins, and ALL other UUA Board Trustees been totally complicit in the Rev. Dr. Peter Morales led UUA's immoral, UNethical, borderline criminal, and quite frankly #BatShitCrazy attempted misuse of Canada's blasphemy law in UUA clergy sex abuse cover-up legal bullying that was-IS intended to conceal "such despicable crimes as pedophilia and rape" committed by "certain Unitarian Universalist ministers" from the public Christina?
Do tell. . .
And please also tell me when you, and Tim Atkins, and ALL other UUA Trustees will publicly confess to your "sin of omission" in doing absolutely nothing to hold Rev. Dr. Peter Morales or any other UUA leader accountable for the UUA's disgU*Usting misuse of Canada's blasphemy law which not only flagrantly disregards and wantonly violates most if not ALL of UUism's Seven Principles, but which also put an ignominious end to the centuries old tradition of opposing blasphemy laws that Unitarian and Universalists proudly upheld until recently resigned UUA President Rev. Dr. Peter "Beyond Belief" Morales, and "retired" Executive *Vice* President Kathleen "Kay" Montgomery, to say nothing of other corrupt and incompetent UUA leaders and staff. . . shamelessly ended that proud tradition by falsely accusing Yours Truly of the archaic criminal act of "blasphemous libel" on Friday June 1st of 2012.
I hereby remind you, Tim Atkins, and ALL other UUA Trustees that within days of being falsely accused of the archaic crime of blasphemous libel by the UUA's Canadian attorney I demanded that the UUA must formally withdraw its false blasphemous libel accusation against me (to say nothing of other false or highly misleading accusations it brought against me), publicly apologize for bringing that and other false accusations against me, and publicly disclose exactly how many UUA ministers have actually been charged, tried, and convicted of committing "such despicable crimes as pedophilia and rape" yet, to date, the UUA has obstinately refused to meet any of these reasonable demands which are fully in alignment with UUism's claimed Seven Principles, perhaps especially the 2nd, 4th & 6th principles of Unitarian Universalism.

Earth Day is a special day for us at Tradition Creek. Being outdoors-people, we cherish conservation and the preservation of those natural spaces that have had such an impact on our lives and communities. The Land of Lakes is ripe with opportunities to continue such preservation around Earth Day and in the Spring season. All around the State of Minnesota (and our neighbors), parks and trails are being repopulated after their winter hibernation. This presents a chance for conservationists to do some clean-up and spruce-up work on a day like today. Up on the North Shore of Lake Superior, the Superior Hiking Trail is such a place that Tradition Creek has grown accustomed to working with. And it is always our pleasure to spend some time treasuring the great outdoors, the Great Lake, and preparing the trail for those who will follow us.
So, whatever you do today, this weekend, or this season, do something along with us to draw more of our friends and neighbors out into the wilderness and preserve it for generations to come. Happy Earth Day, all!
PS: If you're interested, check out the Superior Hiking Trail on Facebook and plan a visit this Spring, the trails are open!

Why is that a same size gas fired engine has more pistons then a diesel engine of same size.
How does a gas engine oil differs from that of a diesel engine oil,what properties should be observed for lube oil changes besides viscosity.

Generally for a fixed displacement more pistons allows higher revs. Since a diesel engine has higher compression then a gas engine it revs lower and doesn't need the additional pistons.
Diesel engine oil usually deals with more bearing loading and suspends more combustion byproducts than oil designed for gas engines. The application, marine, mining, generator, trucking, will change the oil type regardless of compression or ignition engines since the operating conditions could vary from idling most of the time to running full throttle most of the time.

Every Fall seems to bring some sort of change. After 5 years in the middle school English/Language Arts classroom, 2 years as a middle school staff developer, 6 years in a high school English classroom, and 3 months of trying to survive on little sleep while helping my wife take care of our twins Ryan and Keira, I decided to leave 11th grade AP Language and Composition and make the move back to the role of staff developer (or literacy coach, instructional coach, instructional staff developer, staff development specialist..or whatever new 'title' the position seems to garner).
Being back in this role for the past 2 months has reminded me not only of how much talent there is in our district, but how much I can still learn about students, teaching, learning, curriculum and overall about what it means to be an educator….to be part of such a wonderful profession, career, and way of life.
I was also reminded of the unique challenges the staff development position sometimes brings. One of the tricky parts of being in this role is being invited into a colleagues room and being charged with the task of 'observing' (a word usually associated with an administrator coming in to evaluate) a lesson to provide objective, relevant, practical and useful feedback. I have always viewed staff development as a chance for teacher collaboration that should create opportunities for reflection. As I looked for ways to best support our teachers in their work, I came across a class visit observation chart that I had used back in my middle school staff development days. After a few updates and modifications, I landed on the attached form.
This past year, our high school moved towards a modified, rotating block schedule in which our class periods went from 43 min six days out of the six day cycle to three 58 min classes and one 80 min class for four out of the six days. With this new schedule came a need for professional development and working with teachers to help them engage our students for longer learning periods. After some research and debate, we introduced the University of Pennsylvania's Penn Literacy Network's Model of Engagement as a common basis to from which to work. The preview below and full 'classroom visit' form attached has been adapted to collect objective engagement data in a classroom that a teacher can use to reflect on a lesson. LINKED HERE is the template, a sample form that has been filled in, and the original PLN Model of Engagement. This has turned out to be a very non-threatening, effective tool to help look at ONE aspect of the organization of a teacher's lesson, classroom and/or learning space. Enjoy!

text: Ferndale Confectionery finds a sweet spot in North Asia December 2017 Download the PDF version (263KB) What started off as a dream in 1995 is now a reality, with Ferndale Confectionery supplying some of Australia's most well-known sweets internationally, thanks to Australia's North Asia free trade agreements. Ferndale Confectionery began as a dream for founder Bruce Edward. Established in 1995, the idea behind the family business was to create a sugar-free and fat-free confectionery option suitable for diabetics. Before long, this tasty idea began to tempt even the sweetest of palates with products such as JILA ® mints and JOLS ® fruit pastilles. By 2004, Ferndale Confectionery had secured supply contracts with major Australian retailers and was exporting to eight international markets. Now managed by Bruce Edward's youngest son Leigh, the company has grown significantly, placing them as one of the top confectionery producers in Australia and internationally. Determine an export strategy Today, the family's Delacombe factory produces more than 25 million packs of confectionery per annum and has close to 4,000 distribution points in China. However, wind the clock back 18 years and General Manager Leigh Edward admits that when it came to exporting, it wasn't all smooth sailing – they didn't even have an export strategy. 'We always exported on an ad-hoc basis. We'd send our products to interested distributors and as long as we were paid, we didn't really care, which obviously wasn't a good business strategy.' After several years of consideration, Ferndale Confectionery decided to invest time into exporting and make the leap into Asian markets. Leigh and his older brother Jarrod, visited several countries to discover the appropriate market for the company, before deciding on China. Take cultural differences into consideration Exporting products to China wasn't as easy as Edward thought it would be. He says they found promoting the fat-free and sugar-free attributes of the products did not have the same impact in China as it did in Australia. 'At the first trade show we attended, we found there was zero interest in our sugar-free and fat-free products. My assistant, who is a Chinese national, said we were doing it all wrong.' Edward acknowledges it took the company some time to understand the different demands of Chinese consumers, but once they grasped the idea, they redesigned their products to cater to the tastes of the new market. 'We spent probably two or three years discovering what Chinese consumers wanted, and what we found was that high fibre is important in their diet. So, to cater to this preference, we changed the messaging and the design and suddenly there was interest,' says Edward. FTAs help lower export costs The China-Australia Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA) has reduced the tariffs on confectionery items sold by Ferndale in the last four years. Edward says this has allowed the company to lower the price of its products in China, resulting in increased sales. 'Prior to utilising ChAFTA, our products were priced around 20 per cent above those that were locally produced. Now, under the free trade agreement (FTA), our prices are on par with our competitors.' Ferndale Confectionery has also expanded its exports to Japan and Korea, where Edward says FTAs have already eliminated tariffs on its products. 'We are quite lucky, the Korea-Australia FTA and Japan-Australia Economic Partnership Agreement have allowed our products tariff-free entry since they were implemented.' Exports drive business growth In the past four years, Ferndale Confectionery has seen significant growth across the business. To meet increasing local and international supply demands, a new state-of-the-art facility is being built that will see at least 20 new job openings by the end of 2018. Edward credits the FTAs for the company's growth, saying none of this would have been possible had Ferndale Confectionery kept business local. 'We wouldn't have seen this kind of growth if we were only supplying to the Australian market. But after adding in the demands of multiple international markets, we have the confidence to invest in new facilities.' Commit to a market For those considering exporting, Edward says Ferndale Confectionery has found success by focusing on a single market and ensuring they were entirely across it. 'Don't try and do everything, because you can't. Just pick one market and be super-focused,' he says. 'We took our time, with a step-by-step approach, and were able to see what worked and what didn't. There were a lot of trials and tribulations through the whole learning curve, but it's certainly very exciting.' Produced by the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade).

RN52 Arduino Library
The Doayee RN52 Arduino Library is a detailed library for use with the RN52 Bluetooth Audio module from Microchip. The library is designed for use with the features of the v1.16 firmware for the RN52 and allows for convenient communication with the RN52 module, using a microcontroller rather than a command line interface. This allows for much greater usability and the ability to run groups of commands, one after the other, on demand with minimal user input.
The vast majority of features available when communicating with the RN52 in "Command Mode" have been included in this library. All the relevant downloads are available above, the library itself from GitHub, with example sketches included, and an online command guide is also available.
16x2 LCD Support
Want to add a standard 16x2 LCD screen to your RN52 or BAL? We have written a feature rich example sketch bundled with our library to enable you to display scrolling information about the track title, artist, track number, album and connected device. Just plug and play!
BAL - RN52 Development Board
We wrote this RN52 Arduino Library to be used in conjunction with our BAL – Bluetooth Audio Link, a feature rich RN52 development kit with on-board amplifier, and broken out pins. See its product page to purchase one. However, it can also be used with any RN52 module, using information found here.
If you have any queries or require support regarding the RN52 Arduino Library, please contact us using the BAL support pages.

Planning Your Next Multigen Trip
Ten tips from our two experts that will help make your next vacation an unequivocal success
BY ANDREW SESSA — Spring 2018
1. Get a (big) head start. "Things get complicated when you multiply family members' schedules," cautions Wilson Wetty. "In many cases, when setting up a trip, we have to pick dates 18 months in advance to find a time that works for everyone."
2. Assign a point person. If you have 24 different but equal opinions, you'll never get anywhere, says Wilson Wetty, who always tells clients to designate one or two primary people as the coordinators and decision-makers. If you have more than 20 travelers, Ezon suggests hiring anon-site coordinator for the entirety of the trip itself.
3. Give everyone a voice, too. Wilson Wetty likes to offer each family member a day or part of a day to plan, focusing on something of interest to him or her. "It's a great way for people to get to know their relatives better and to find out what they enjoy doing," she says.
4. Pick destinations with meaning. Ezon advises selecting locations with significance, be it cultural or historic (such as Vietnam) or environmental (such as the Galapagos). He also likes helping clients organize trips to accentuate a family's own values and passions, such as music and theater, art, military service, philanthropy, or sportsmanship. In a similar vein, Wilson Wetty offers the idea of going to an ancestral homeland to explore your family's heritage and genealogy.
5. Consider cutting yourself off. "Big cities often supply too many distractions for individuals to all go off their own separate ways," warns Ezon. "More confined, remote options create better opportunities for togetherness."
6. Go all in. "Plan immersive experiences that appeal to the whole family," says Ezon, who has set up art classes at museums such as the Louvre in Paris and scavenger hunts through cities such as Buenos Aires. "The goal is less about education exactly and more about connection." Wilson Wetty suggests "getting to know a culture in a different way," finding that authentic, local interactions such
as volunteer opportunities and school visits help turn people, especially young ones, into better global citizens.
7. Do the unexpected. Ezon likes to think outside the box to pull people out of their comfort zones, finding that it "makes for memorable experiences and better bonding. Even if you have a relatively conservative group, make at least one experience 'crazy.' "
8. Plan time together — and apart. "Leave pockets of downtime for organic interactions when everyone is together and connections truly happen," advises Ezon. "Set out board games and cards, and schedule leisure time in a contained area." But, at the same time, he says, "don't feel obliged to keep everyone together all the time. Plan options for people to split up, making some activities optional."
9. Have fun with it. Ezon likes to orchestrate team games. "Whether it's a sport like football or a Family Feud game-show night, a cooking contest based on Chopped, or family Olympics, these experiences always become trip highlights and bring people together like never before." He has even repurposed corporate team-building exercises such as raft building or obstacle-course relays.
10. Make and capture lasting memories. Ezon has brought in photo and film crews during multigenerational trips to create family documentaries, or just to record the goings-on. By journey's end, video and images from the professionals and from travelers' own cameras and smartphones can be edited together into a final movie or montage to screen on the last night — and then to keep forever as a perfect souvenir.
