How URLs Map to Shopify Templates

How URLs Map to Shopify Templates

shopify tutorial- how URLs map to Shopify themes

One of the (many) features I love about working with Shopify Themes is the simple folder structure. Each store can be powered by a single layout file and a handful of templates meaning you can achieve a lot with a little — power in simplicity.

However if you are new to Shopify Themes, you may not know exactly when each template gets rendered, or be aware that the same template gets used in various places around the store.

We've already looked at how to use both alternate layout and template files, therefore in this article we'll turn our focus to understanding under what conditions each template is rendered in a store.

URL template mapping

Internally, Shopify has its own routing table which determines which template is displayed based on the URL requested by the user. If you have ever used one of the popular development frameworks, you might be familiar with the concept of URL routing. Put simply it's a way of determining which template to send to the browser based on the requested URL.

I mentioned earlier that there are only a handful of templates required to power a store. Each of these templates serves one or more URL — in other words, we are able to utilise the same templates for multiple URLs. From a design perspective, this enables us to reduce our overhead when building a new store.

URLs to templates

Here's an overview of which template is rendered as determined by the URL:

/thisisntarealurl → 404.liquid
/blogs/{blog-name}/{article-id-handle} → article.liquid
/blogs/{blog-name} → blog.liquid
/cart → cart.liquid
/collections → list-collections.liquid
/collections/{collection-handle} → collection.liquid
/collections/{collection-handle}/{tag} → collection.liquid
/ → index.liquid
/pages/{page-handle} → page.liquid
/products → list-collections.liquid
/products/{product-handle} → product.liquid
/search?q={search-term} → search.liquid

Password protected

You might have noticed that the password.liquid template is not included in the list. This template is only seen if you choose to password protect your storefront and as such will override all other URLs.

If your store is password protected and you do not have a password.liquid template in your theme, Shopify will render it's default password login page instead.

Alternate templates

It's also worth remembering that the above routing table can be affected by alternate templates — something we have covered in a previous tutorial.

URL parameters

As you will see above, a number of the routes have elements of the URL path wrapped in { }. I have included this to denote a variable which will have an impact on the data loaded into a template.

For example, if we take the /collections/{collection-handle} URL pattern a different set of data will be loaded into the template and sent to the browser if we requested /collections/bikes compared to /collections/cars.

You will also notice that a number of different URL patterns share the same template file, e.g /products and /collections will both render the list-collections.liquid template. Likewise /collections/, /collections/{collection-handle}/ and /collections/{collection-handle}/{tag} all make use of collection.liquid.

Final note

If you are ever unsure which template is being rendered, there's a really simple way to check.

All you need to do is add {{ template }} to your theme.liquid file and start browsing your store. This global Shopify variable will output the currently rendered template minus the .liquid extension. It's a neat way to be doubly sure your templates are working as expected.

Here's a handy snippet that you can use in your own theme development with the output shown in the screenshot below:

Current template: {{ template }}.liquid

Criminal Justice Organization Honors Two SHSU Professors

Rolando del Carmen, James Marquart
Sam Houston State University criminal justice professors Rolando del Carmen (left) and James Marquart will receive awards from the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences next month in Chicago. It is the first time that two individuals from one university have been recognized by the Academy in the same year.

Two Sam Houston State University criminal justice professors will be honored next month for their extraordinary accomplishments by one of the most respected organizations in the field of criminal justice.

James Marquart and Rolando del Carmen will be recognized in Chicago on March 19 by the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences, an international association that promotes criminal justice education, research, and policy analysis within the discipline of criminal justice for both educators and practitioners.

This is the first time in the Academy's 40-year history that two individuals from one university have been recognized in the same year.

"To have two professors from one university recognized by this organization for such prestigious honors is a remarkable accomplishment and reflects wonderfully on our program at Sam Houston State University," said Janet Mullings, assistant dean of criminal justice.

"We are very fortunate to have individuals in our program like Dr. Marquart and Dr. del Carmen, who are recognized nationally and internationally, for their contributions to the criminal justice discipline," she said.
"Both are extraordinarily talented scholars who are among the top in the field with productivity and quality of work," she added.

Marquart will receive the 2005 Bruce Smith Sr. Award, the association's highest honor. To be selected, a recipient must demonstrate leadership in the administration of criminal justice as an academic or professional discipline in a manner which reflects the highest standards of integrity and performance. The recipient must also display active involvement in criminal justice research or an endeavor which has made substantial contributions to the development of emerging information in criminal justice.

Marquart has been at Sam Houston State University since 1986, and currently serves as director of research for the College of Criminal Justice. In addition to his duties as professor of criminal justice, he has served as director of the Crime Victims' Institute and director of the National Institute for Victim Studies.

He has been involved with a number of funded research projects on topics such as factors determining recidivism in the Texas Youth Council, AIDS-risk behavior of mentally impaired women prisoners, prison gang structure, prisoner classification systems, and the use of in-house training videos for correctional officers.

He recently co-edited a book on the victimization of children, and has co-authored books on a number of issues in corrections. In 1995, he was named the winner of the American Library Association, Association of College and Research Libraries' Outstanding Book Award for "The Rope, the Chair, and the Needle: Capital Punishment in Texas, 1923-1990." He was also the winner of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences' 1991 Outstanding Book Award for "An Appeal to Justice: Litigated Reform of Texas Prisons."

He has written numerous chapters and articles in other books and publications on inappropriate relationships between inmates and correctional staff, inmate racial integration, health concerns of older prisoners, and other topics specific to the prison environment.

In 1997, he was awarded the Leverhulme Visiting Professorship at Queen Mary and Westfield College (University of London) Faculty of Laws in London, England. He taught classes and conducted research there comparing high security prisons and jails in Great Britain and the United States.

Del Carmen, who was named Distinguished Professor of Criminal Justice in 1995, will receive the Academy Founder's Award. With this award, del Carmen becomes the only individual in the Academy's history to receive all three of the association's honors. In 1990 he received the Academy Fellow Award, and in 1997 he received the Bruce Smith Sr. Award.

The Academy Founder's Award is designed to recognize someone who has been an active member of the Academy for at least five consecutive years and who during that time has also demonstrated active involvement in criminal justice education and research. In addition, the award is intended to recognize substantial contributions to the Academy and to the discipline of criminal justice through the winner's participation in various service activities.

Del Carmen came to Sam Houston State University in 1974, and is considered by many to be one of the nation's leading experts on criminal justice law. He teaches classes on the legal aspects of corrections and law enforcement, evidence, law and society, legal liabilities of public officers, and criminal procedure.
He is an active member of numerous criminal justice associations and societies and is the founder of the Law, Courts and Human Rights Section of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences.

Del Carmen has authored and edited numerous books on civil liabilities and rights of police officers and probation and parole officers, community-based corrections, and Texas juvenile law and practice. He has also written book chapters and sections on police civil liability and the law, constitutional issues arising from the "Three Strikes" legislation, legal issues in drug testing offenders and criminal justice employees, and the use of force in policing.

In 2000, del Carmen was awarded a $15,000 grant from the National Institute of Corrections to revise the book "Potential Liabilities of Probation and Parole Officers." He has also received a number of other grants to conduct research on national drug testing standards; the liabilities of parole boards for release, suspension and revocation of parolees; legal issues in the use of electronic surveillance in probation; and the "Chicano Offender" for the training manual of the National Academy of Corrections.

In 1998, he was selected as one of 10 awardees from among 99 nominees from various colleges and universities in Texas to receive the Piper Foundation Award. He also received an award from the Texas Governor's Office for membership and work in the Legislative Committee of the Governor's Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Advisory Board. This body, composed of 12 members, held a series of meetings in Austin over several months to suggest revisions to the current juvenile laws of Texas to make them conform to Federal laws.

Other members of the Sam Houston State University criminal justice program who have been recognized by the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences are Richard Ward, dean of the College of Criminal Justice, and Larry Hoover, professor of criminal justice and director of the Police Research Center. Ward was presented the Founders Award in 1985, and Hoover received the award in 2003.

Bolen to grace cover of art trails catalog

Susan Manter Bolen’s painting “Heart of the Forest” has been selected to grace the cover of the 2015 Sierra Art Trails - Yosemite Foothills Open Studio Tour catalog.

The three-day Sierra Art Trails event will be held Friday - Sunday, Oct. 2-4.

According to Jon Bock, Sierra Art Trails president, the new catalog is largest ever, including articles on “Discovering Yosemite Art,” “A Tribute to Yosemite Artists,” and “Making Art in Times of Crisis,” focused on the California drought and related wildfires.

This year’s event will feature 108 artists showing in more than 50 locations in homes, studios, galleries, and businesses in more than a dozen communities in Eastern Madera and Mariposa counties.

“The show is the largest and most anticipated arts event in the area, featuring artists and artisans working in a wide range of media including painting, photography, jewelry, sculpture, fiber arts, woodcarving, ceramics, glass, and more,” Bock said.

The $18 Sierra Art Trails spiral bound, full color catalog serves as a “Ticket for Two” to the event, and includes a list of artists and their viewing locations, and detailed maps to get you there.

Manter remembers while looking at the work of Max Ernst, coming across a reference to a piece called “The Heart of the Forest,” with no accompanying illustration.

“I have always admired his elaborate imagery, in particular the use of light to accent the edges of form,” Manter said. “I was struck by the poetic nature of the phrase, and decided to come up with my own interpretation. I still have not seen the Ernst picture, and have no idea what it looks like.

Manter said the ideas that came to her were based on the color scheme of blue, green and red.

“I pictured a bright crimson heart floating above the forest floor,” explained Manter. “I chose to focus on simplicity, beauty and color; lining trees and bushes in a turquoise glow. The incandescent blue bird in the heart’s interior implies a sentient animal presence in an otherwise dark and secluded enclave.”

Manter creates surreal, symbolic, and intuitive images as well as boldly bright colorful landscapes and mixed media sculptures. Her influences include mythology, psychology (Jungian), heraldry, alchemy, and art history from ancient ties to the present. She is fascinated by cultural traditions, festivals and rituals associated with the wheel of the year and the changing seasons.

Manter said she is mostly self-taught with a smattering of formal education. After many years traveling and working countless minimum wage jobs, she met and fell in love with John Bolen. This relationship gave her the opportunity to create freely and continuously. John contributes to the art work by cutting wood for mixed media pieces, and also framing and matting.

Bolen’s work can be viewed at her web site, She is represented by Williams Gallery West.

Catalogs can be ordered on the web at or can be purchased at select resale locations including Stellar Gallery, Timberline Gallery, and Williams Gallery West in Oakhurst.

Manufacturing Signs

Signs Now Blaine provides Manufacturing Signs to Blaine, Minneapolis, St. Paul, MN and surrounding areas.

Today’s manufacturers have a more complex task than ever, trying to maintain a safe and efficient plant that complies with regulations from a variety of governmental agencies. Well-planned signs and graphics can help you do all of that and more by providing wayfinding and safety information that helps you comply with OSHA guidelines and maintain efficient logistics. Plus, great signs and graphics can help motivate employees and promote new business.

Signs Now Blaine has extensive experience in designing and producing manufacturing signs. Manufacturing signs are perfect for addressing the following topics:

  • Visibility and public image—Large sign displays inform the audience about the products, history and mission of a manufacturing plant. Often, initiatives such as nature preservation, going green and helping the community are addressed by large sign displays that have a high-visibility location.
  • Safety, rules and regulations—Indoor and outdoor warning and regulatory signs ensure that the workforce is in a safe environment. Enforcing and reminding of rules of conduct and specific production regulations is accomplished by using various signs types. Manufacturing signs can regulate the production process and deliver clear messages to workers.
  • Instructions—Manufacturing facilities use various types of equipment. Complex procedures, maintenance guidelines and operation manuals are easily displayed using plastic and metal production signs.
  • Logistics—Moving inventory and the delivery of components is essential to the efficiency of the production process. Suspended signs, floor graphics or wall-mounted signs are great regulators of traffic on the production floor.
  • Employee satisfaction—Celebrating employee achievements and honoring good performance are great ways to boost employee satisfaction in the workplace. Manufacturing signs are great ways to display such information. Wall-mounted boards in crowded areas achieve this goal.
  • Corporate events—Signs for manufacturing teams make holiday parties and anniversaries fun. Serious or with a touch of humor, banner displays can make a corporate event more enjoyable.

At Signs Now Blaine, we can produce high-quality manufacturing signs and deliver and install them on time.

Thy Presents & Thy Presence

FYI – Weekly – Local Newspaper Article – Info – Ted Camp
A Special Poem Written By David Bennett After A Short Christmas Devotion
Read it slowly and let it speak to your heart

“Thy Presents & Thy Presence”

For sins effaced— for guilt erased—
For cleansing when I Thee disgraced—
I’m thankful, Lord, for all the grace
Found in Thy blood-bought presents.

I’m grateful for the care You show,
And for the mercies You bestow;
I’m overwhelmed by such a flow
Of Thy substantial presents.

For peace and joy that me uplift—
For calm amidst life’s waters swift—
I’m thankful, Lord, for every gift
From Heaven’s store of presents.

I’m grateful for Thy light and love
Which shower me from Heav’n above;
Yet, Lord, I’m so unworthy of
Such providential presents.

O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Thy gifts are numbered by the host;
But what I really yearn for most
Is, Lord, Thy daily presence.

Plans to scrap hefty debit and credit card charges

Plans to scrap hefty debit and credit card charges

New proposals to prevent consumers being unfairly charged for using credit and debit cards were announced on September 3 by consumer affairs minister Norman Lamb.

If the new rules come into force, traders will no longer be able to profit by charging more for credit or debit card usage than it costs them to process the payment.

This ensures that consumers are aware of the costs they are committing to and that traders who treat consumers fairly are not disadvantaged by those who use less transparent practices to lure consumers.

Mr Lamb said: “We want consumers to be able to pay for their goods and services without being hit by excessive hidden charges. That is why we are consulting on limiting the fees that traders can charge to consumers for using particular methods of payment.

“It can often be frustrating when purchasing a product or a service online, to find out only towards the end of the transaction that the final price is much higher due to things like payment surcharges.

“These proposals will stop companies from adding on these excessive charges, and allow consumers to see a clearer and more transparent breakdown of what they are paying for.”

Which? executive director Richard Lloyd welcomed the news. He said: “Over 50,000 people supported our campaign to ban excessive fees so this well overdue consultation is a step in the right direction.

“The government must ensure that all businesses only charge the genuine cost they incur for processing the payment and that they are upfront, and make this clear to consumers. We also want to see a robust enforcement regime in place to make sure firms are held to account if they flout the ban.

“The government must now act quickly to meet its promise to ban these excessive charges by the end of the year.”

Networking and Learning Online

Critical reflection exercises

Critical reflection exercises

A key element of transformative learning is experimenting with real-world problems. David Kolb’s experiential learning cycle continues to be pivotal. Yet cycles, even spirals, don’t capture the dynamism (and dangers) now available with online and blended learning. Informal means of learning such as podcasts and viral social media posts abound. On one hand, frames have never had more possibility to engage with such a diversity of experiences, bodies, identities, and communities. How to bring feminist and critical pedagogy to these spaces? This paper works to critically frustrate and extend the learning cycle with a hologram which helps to capture online multi-dimensionality as well as distortion.

Online there is both performance and projection. Holographic visualization offers multiple dimensions, movement, refraction, frustration, doubt. But online learners can be supported to move more consciously to meaning and their own deliberations while embedded in life, work, negotiations. This messiness and muddling is key to the transformative potential of online deliberations. Three key conditions seem to facilitate more transformative learning in online spaces and platforms:

  • allow multiple paths

  • piece the learning well into micro-learnings

  • embrace doubt and contested realities

Online spaces can be shallow and harmful. However, they also have potential to collapse gender and power dynamics in interesting ways as learners shape their own reflective paths at their own pace. These gendered power dynamics are not removed but can be fore-fronted in the learning. The lag between experimentation and insight can be used. Facilitators and peers can act more like coaches, real-time in real messiness.

Sisters Ink has worked with AWID (Association for Women’s Rights in Development), the University of New Hampshire and the Coady International Institute on blended networking and learning strategies. Nanci presented a paper at the International Transformative Learning Conference, Columbia University on the experience with the University of New Hampshire “Frustrating the Experiential Learning Cycle.” Write us for a copy.

In early 1983, my collaborator Ed Cohen and I were searching for a new direction. Ed had never lost his love for progressive music, though his interest had been taken to a new level by the influence of Progressive Jazz (or Fusion, as it is called in many circles). Unexpectedly, as a birthday gift, Ed’s father Joe gave him enough money to go into a studio in Hollywood, and record four songs. After Ed and I worked on the writing of these tunes we assembled a group of musicians to record. The line up was myself on bass, Ed on keyboards, Dudley Brooks on guitar, Tim Timmermans on drums and Michael Acosta on saxophones and flute. We called the group Windows. With a freshly finished master of four songs, Ed had 25 demo cassettes made up to send out to small local record companies. Over the next two months, twenty-four form letters came back saying, “not interested.” Then one showed up saying, “I like what I hear, can we meet?” It was signed by Michael Dion of ITI Records.

ITI was distributed by Allegiance Records, a small business operating in a house on Highland Avenue in West Hollywood. There I met several people who would influence my musical direction in the years to come. There was Deborah Dobkin, an accomplished musician who wound up playing percussion, writing and singing on several Windows and my solo albums. Scott Bergstein, who was to become head of A&R for Higher Octave records, to which Tim Timmermans and I licensed the album “Poem of the Five Mountains.” The talented saxophonist Richard Elliot was also on ITI. Though we never met at this period, we became aware of the great level his playing was on. He later performed on our album, “Blue September”.

Late in 1983 after signing our first recording contract, Mike Dion asked us to deliver a mastered record for the pressing plant, I asked: “What is mastering?” The response was “It’s what you have to deliver to us if we are going to put your record out.” (Mastering being the process where the final mixes of songs prepared for an album are assembled). So I went about trying to find out who and what I needed to do to get our record mastered.

I had loved listening to the audiophile releases of the day at a short-lived job I had at University Stereo, back when I was 17 years of age. The Sheffield releases were my favorites, so I looked on the back of one of their album covers to see who had mastered it. It was credited to engineer Mike Reese, who worked at the Mastering Lab owned by Doug Sax in Hollywood. So I made an appointment with their office manager, and off I went with the tapes that would become our first Windows album.

At the Mastering Lab, I was greeted and sent into a small dark studio room. There was a little console, a pair of large speakers, some tape machines, and a device that floored me: a record lathe. Mike then came in the room, and started asking questions about my group and the type of music we played. He asked how I found out about him, all the while setting up the tapes on the playback system to listen. It sounded clear, but then he started to work; adding EQ, compression, and level matching from track to track, making notes of all theses changes. I had sequenced the album in order of side one and side two, and his job was to get it all to sound consistent. Once this process was completed, he then pulled out a pair of lacquer disks for creating a LP test pressing.

During this process, I recall asking Mike, “How much is this going to cost us?’ The price was $3000.00, give or take a few dollars. I about fell out of my chair. I explained to him, while looking horrified, that our budget for recording and including artwork for the whole album was $1500.00. He asked what label I was on, and winced; ITI and Allegiance Records had a reputation that was not exactly stellar. He then handed me the test pressings, told me to go home and listen, and then come back the next day. I was a bit flabbergasted, but off I went to immediately listen and make my notes, not knowing where this would wind up.

Upon my return the next day, Mike asked what I thought. Being quite nervous about the whole dilemma, I said, “It’s great!” Mike looked at me rather sternly. “I don’t believe you,” he insisted, “tell me what you really think.” So, track-by-track, I told him my thoughts on what I disliked, and he made adjustments. Mike then made another test pressing for me to review, sent me on my way, and told me to be there at 11:30 am the next day.

What I heard at home, listening to the test pressings, was wonderful. I had the rest of the band come by to listen, and they were all thrilled. I explained our odd dilemma of cost. We all agreed that I should be very up front with Mike the next day. Upon my arrival the next morning, Mike asked again, what I thought. This time I said, flatly, “It’s really great!” He then mastered the record on the lathe with fresh lacquers for pressing, said he was hungry, and proceeded to take me out to lunch. I had a fabulous time hanging out with him, hearing his stories about working at Fantasy Records and all the masters he cut while up in the San Francisco Bay area (Fantasy had been home to Credence Clearwater Revival and one of my favorite jazz artists, Vince Guaraldi). Mike spoke about his lovely wife and family, and living in the Hollywood Hills.

Returning to the Mastering Lab after lunch, Mike handed me the master lacquers for pressing, ready to go to the manufacturing plant. I started to speak about the money issues when he interrupted. “If the record succeeds and sells, pay me then; but for now, get out of here and go get your record pressed and released.” I stood there silent. Here was one of the best mastering engineers of all time, who had taken me out to lunch, paid for it, and now was doing all of this all on speculation.

Eventually I was able to pay Mike some money for his efforts, a lot less than his going rate, but our relationship was cemented. Mike mastered all my records going forward, including my solo record, “The Clock and the Moon,” several top 30 contemporary Jazz albums, and three number one contemporary jazz radio albums between Window’s “The French Laundry” and the first two Peter White‘s albums that I co-produced.

Mike suddenly passed away after I finished Peter Whites first record. I was shocked to find out when I had called Sandy at the A&M Records mastering studios, where Mike was then working. To this day, I feel fortunate that he was able to see his hunch (and kind efforts) in supporting my career pay off. I remember being very proud that I was eventually picking up the tab for our lunches together.

There is a story here that was one of the best moments I shared with Mike. While mastering our album “The French Laundry” with Mike at A&M, Herb Alpert walked into the reception area of the mastering offices. This was his studio and record label, and I was always in awe of his great success as a musician and businessman. Herb also was an accomplished artist and loved to paint.

Herb had requested a building custodian to assist him. All the while Mike and I are observing this carefully though the door of the studio we were in. The reception area featured some of the unique abstract paintings that Herb had painted. Finally the handyman came in, and Herb was pointing to one of his paintings. What happened next was dumbfounding to us, as the handyman picked up one of the large paintings, and rotated it 180 degrees. Apparently, it had been hung up side down, as the work was so abstract that nobody knew which direction to hang it. Mike immediately closed the door and went into hysterics.

It was a wonderful moment for me to share with him, and I will always miss the time we shared together. It’s a sad reminder to me how short life is.

“Windows,” our self-titled first album, was released by ITI in 1983, receiving decent reviews that allowed us to book shows in Los Angeles and create a small following. The attention attracted Jim Martone of the newly formed Intima/Enigma label. By this time, we had pooled our own money to begin work on our second album (to be called “Is It Safe,” after the line Lawrence Olivier mutters to Dustin Hoffman in the 1976 movie “Marathon Man”). In 1984, we were signed to Intima, which released “Is It Safe” to very little interest from radio or retail. Months went by, and we figured that was it for this album, but then came a twist of fate. The phone rang one day, and a woman’s voice on the other end of the line asked, “Is this little Skipper?” I asked, “Who is this?” The reply: “I don’t know if you remember me, but I used to be the music director of radio station KKDJ in Hollywood.”

– – – – – – –

When I was thirteen, I had won a 102.7 KKDJ contest by correctly identifying the group who sang the song “Baby I’m a Want You” (the group was Bread). Off I went to visit the radio station to meet my favorite DJ, Jeff Salgo. I wound up with a gopher job at the station, which eventually elevated to a few menial engineering tasks in production (including how to splice recording tape). One of the goofiest and most embarrassing moments in my life occurred there. In those days (the 1970’s), songs played on the air were recorded on 3-track cartridges, which looked like the old 8-track cartridges that albums were issued on. You could only get about four minutes worth of material on the radio cartridges, which was suited fine for the format in those days, as songs were well under that length. Then came along Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven,” with a playing time of 8:03 that was way too long to fit on the three-track cart. Instead, we had to cue it up on the turntable and play it “live,” sandwiched between the songs on the 3-track carts.

I got the highly coveted job of cuing up the record upon request. (A finger would be pointed at me to start the turntable). This went on trouble-free for a few weeks, until the gorgeous secretary who worked just outside the studio window, pressed her lips up to the studio glass, directed to me. I got flustered, in turn knocking the tone arm of the turntable to the end of the record yielding a “shuuuc, shuuuc” type of sound over the air. I scrambled to put the needle back on the record, only to have the tone arm bounce all the way to the end of the song where Robert Plant sings the final line, “and she’s buy-uy-ing a stair-air-way… to hea-ea-vun.” My summer job ended with a signed plaque from the staff of KKDJ and a picture of me sitting in the same booth, which I still have today. One of the signatures on this photo was that of Chris Brodey, the music director, who was to be one of the architects of what would become known as the Smooth Jazz radio format.

– – – – – – –

Chris was in charge of starting up trend-setting Los Angeles radio station KTWV (94.7 “The Wave”) in 1986, and liked the song “The First Dance,” from Windows’ “Is It Safe” album. She had noticed my picture and name on the album jacket, and called the record company to get my number, wondering if I was the same kid who had worked at KKDJ during that summer long ago. We were just finishing our new album to be called, “Mr. Bongo,” for Intima and little did I know that there was now a new radio station and format that would play the type of music we were creating.

The “Wave” format broke out with thirty or so stations nationally, run by a company called the Satellite Music Network. Our song “The First Dance” from “Is it Safe” started getting airplay and began to create wider recognition for us. In the summer of 1987, Intima released “Mr. Bongo” our third album and it reached #3 on Radio & Records (N.A.C) New Adult Contemporary chart.

Atom-Based Asus Eee PC – June 2008

Asus Eee PC Those living in Europe and interested in netbook-style laptops, in addition to more details about the MSI Wind just released, it appears that Asus will also be rolling out their Intel Atom-based Asus Eee PC in June of 2008 as well.

A representative from Asus’ UK office mentioned that an Atom-based Eee PC should be available in the UK after Computex, but before the end of June. TechRadar is skeptical of such an early date, but it wouldn’t surprise me, given that the Eee PC has become the benchmark by which others in this class are judged, and Intel would probably like to have Atom-based Eee PCs out as soon as possible.

Volunteer opportunities in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area

View the Frequently Asked Questions

View the full calendar

Volunteer work is a vital part of preserving our open spaces. Because of limited budgets for state and federal agencies, most open space maintenance is done by volunteers. They have played a critical role in maintaining our open spaces for everyone to enjoy and to protect the areas that wildlife call home, and the work itself enhances your wilderness experience. Also, volunteering helps you learn new skills, meet others with similar interests, promote fitness and get to know our open space areas better.

The Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area (SMMNRA) has a number of organizations that are focused on preserving the natural resources of the area through their land management and trail advocacy initiatives. Many of these organizations offer the public a chance to assist in maintaining and preserving these natural resources.

This web site is designed for you to view volunteer opportunities and take action by joining in this rewarding experience. No prior experience is needed to participate in any of these opportunities.

Core Strength

The world is a different place than it was when I began my undergraduate work 35 years ago. McDonald’s introduced the Happy Meal that summer, China’s economy was one thirtieth its current size and Kodak was the safest of investments. The internet was a generation away from public consciousness. But other things seem the same now as then – Iran and Afghanistan were significant sources of world concern, the new pope was enormously popular, and the Detroit Lions were terrible. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.

Those of us charged with shaping St. Norbert’s curriculum are tasked with the academic preparation that will best ready our students for the next six or seven decades. We are not alone in this quest – the higher education academic community worries about it incessantly, producing uncountable studies and reports. Sometimes the prose is sufficiently dense with higher ed jargon as to be reasonably mistaken for Elvish. While there are valuable insights to be had from these efforts, it is more important for us to ask, “What specifically does a St. Norbert student need to learn during his or her four years with us?”

Of course, students need to be appropriately prepared for a career, but there is more to the good life than just a job, even if it is an especially fulfilling calling. Enjoying life means living it fully, valuing that which truly matters. A great source of inspiration can be found in the Norbertines’ 900 years of living the difference between the immutable and the fleeting. They have given us our mission statement, which places communio at the center of the institution. It is through this lens that we understand our Catholic, Norbertine and liberal arts traditions, and it guides us in preparing our students for their lives.

From an academic perspective, the ideas and values that make our institution and our students unique live in our major programs and the Core Curriculum. Since every single student who graduates from St. Norbert must satisfy the Core requirements, it is fair to say that the Core in particular is the backbone of a St. Norbert education. When the faculty started the process of defining those requirements a few years ago, we addressed exactly that question: What does a St. Norbert College student need to know? After years of dedicated and passionate discussion, we agreed upon a set of general education goals that reflect communio and our three traditions. They are:

  • The acquisition of intellectual and cognitive skills.
  • Understanding the world and one’s place in it.
  • Understanding religious and spiritual dimensions of life.
  • The development of creativity and self-expression.
  • The development of personal character and virtue.
The first of these seems fairly obvious – students are supposed to study and learn things. But “learning” may not involve the same set of skills that it did back in my day. Technology has had a profound impact on how our incoming students – who soon will have been born in the new millennium – acquire and assimilate information. The internet gushes material very quickly and cheaply, but usually without any reliable indication of its credibility. This makes an essential skill out of the ability to evaluate and assimilate into coherence any given set of disparate and contradictory sources. In the future, “being educated” won’t so much mean being able to access a canon of factoids from memory, but will be the facility to make meaning from a cacophony of voices that threatens to overwhelm.

Understanding the world and one’s place in it has always been an important element of a St. Norbert education. But Walter Cronkite’s once highly packaged and easily digested nightly presentations have since yielded to about a hundred 24/7 cable and satellite news outlets. Even these pale next to the nearly infinite number of websites, YouTube channels, Twitter feeds and whatever else will come next with the tap of a few fingers. As much as the world seems small and connected now, it will just become more so, and our students are citizens in a global society that comes to them in utterly raw feed. Preparing them for a world in which “the revolution will be tweeted” means developing the cultural competencies necessary for them to understand on-the-ground contexts of events, and the critical thinking skills required to understand their moral and ethical obligations.We do not believe that this can happen absent the development of a personal spirituality. Young people may not have the same kind of experience with organized religion as they did a couple of generations ago, but they still seek meaning in what they do as much as young people ever did. We are obliged to help students launch their adult spiritual journey, and we do so both by formal academic inquiry and by providing an environment in which their deepest questions are encouraged and addressed as part of their daily lives.

Paul Johnson is a member of our philosophy faculty, and is thusly in the business of making pithy points, and at a recent faculty conference, he did not disappoint. “Why should the college use resources making the campus such a beautiful place?” he asked. “Why not spend the money on more practical ends?” He answered himself, in effect, by reminding us that our students need to learn the value of the aesthetic, and that beauty and creativity are essential elements of a good life. Engineering and economics might be indispensable, but anthropology reminds us that art emerges as soon as a culture is able to provide barely enough to feed, clothe and shelter itself. Creative self-expression not only bestows a society with necessary beauty, but is a deeply rooted human drive and source of true personal joy.

The good life requires one to explore the world, to understand one’s place in it, to find and follow a spiritual path, and to develop one’s own sense of creativity and expression. But these are meaningless without character and integrity – a good life is also a virtuous life. By increasing our connectedness, technology has exponentially increased the number of communities in which we interact. Our students need to appreciate why their comportment in those communities matters, and to think deeply about the consequences of their words and deeds.

College is one of the most important and expensive investments a young person will ever make, and there is only one shot at how she or he will spend their time between the ages of 18 and 22. Our students (and their families) are entrusting us to make the best use of those four years and to be good stewards of the resources they sacrifice for this purpose.Our job is to help them understand that which will make for a good life, and to start them working on the skills needful for that to happen.
