Over the past few weeks, Jason C. and I have been writing about how to find and understand evidence-based practices for the classroom. Especially when considering the application of technology during instruction, the reality is that it is impossible for researchers to keep pace with innovation (I originally discussed that phenomenon briefly here). With that in mind, what are we to do?
Pardon our dust as we are building something great!
Ooops! Yesterday, we accidentally sent out a repeat of last week's post. I know you were as shocked as we were to receive information that was a week old! So the cat is out of the bag, we are officially knocking the dust off the old blog to improve, expand, and enhance what we do. I hope that (unintentionally) we've built some anticipation about what may happen next. Over the next few months, we have some exciting things in store. So until we get all our ducks in a row, please overlook our imperfections and jump straight to the incredible content that we have always delivered.
Many thanks!
Jason G.
When Searching for Evidence-based Practices, This is What You'll Find
In the pursuit of research to support and inform our work, finding relevant material is the first hurdle to clear. Jason C. tackled this task through sharing practical suggestions on how to use Google Scholar to locate this research. Once you start digging through search results, it can be pretty overwhelming trying to determine what is good and what is not. There are a few things to know when combing through your search results.
Using Google Scholar to Locate Research Based Practices
In the first post of the new year this blog discussed the importance of ensuring that technology and strategies used in classrooms are based on research. While research doesn't always keep up with the latest technology, it is still necessary to know what works and modify it as needed to fit your setting.
So where do you find research? While several options exist, including professional development opportunities or academic libraries you may have access to, one of the most exhaustive resources available is Google Scholar. In this post I will share what Google Scholar is and some tips to help with its navigation.
Framing Routine: A High Powered Graphic Organizer
Last week Jason C. shared 5 great examples of web-based graphic organizers that you can use with your learners. With those tools in mind, here is another great instructional strategy using a graphic organizer that you can use to help your learners:
- recall key information
- understand the relationship between the main ideas and associated details
- summarize the main idea of the passage
5 Web Based Graphic Organizers
In last week's post I discussed the importance of graphic organizer strategies and provided one specific strategy called "List – Group – Label" that I've used often in a variety of content areas. The purpose of this post is to take a closer look at a few graphic organizer tools that can be used with those strategies.
Graphic Organizer Strategies
Over the last couple of weeks Jason G has done an excellent job of explaining the lens we look through when providing assistance to others. In his first post of the new year he discussed the three components that almost every post we share will revolve around: Technology, Strategy and Research.
Today's post is going to focus on the strategy piece that accompanies Graphic Organizers. If you aren't familiar with Graphic Organizers, they are basically a way to demonstrate knowledge, or communicate information in a visual way.
Does Research drive Practice, or Practice drive Research?
One of my committee chairs in grad school was an incredible innovator in developing and evaluating instructional practices for diverse learners. One day he began (once again) talking about the importance of implementing with fidelity (aka doing the procedure correctly) educational practices validated in the literature. Then he asked a very important question, "does research drive practice, or practice drive research?".
The Foundation of Student Achievement
In closing out 2013, Jason C and I spent time reflecting on the driving themes behind our work. We wanted to capture the essential components of everything we do from webinars to workshops, keynotes to publications. There is no surprise in what we found about our pursuit of student achievement. It is still the same today, as it was in the beginning.
Top Posts from 2013
To wrap things up for the year I decided to list the top 5 posts from 2013 (according to Google). While many of us are in New Year's resolution mode, this could serve as an opportunity to choose a strategy or tool that others have found useful and plan to give it a try in 2014. For those of you that have subscribed, or checked in every week to read our posts, we truly appreciate it. You are the reason we continue to make posts each week. If you would like to see more or less of something in the new year please leave a comment and let us know.

gender gap
It seems ludicrous to talk about running a household like a Fortune 500 company, but there it is: what happens in a childhood home has a profound lifetime impact on a kid.
Why aren't we arguing for disrupting the paradigm itself, rather than the behavior of individuals?
women in the workplace
Men are never asked if they're choosing "briefcase over baby," and no one ever asks why it is that men work so hard to achieve high ranks in their workplaces.
If you want my investment capital, show me something other than white dudes.
Are you having trouble succeeding in your career? A New York state senator thinks it's probably because you lack "elegance" when climbing stairs.
dude seriously?
You may know Jack Welch as the former CEO of General Electric. I know him as a giant douchebag.
You can't talk about wage gaps without talking about the racialisation of these gaps.

Fire coach Frank Klopas plays up versatility
BY SETH GRUEN For Sun-Times Media January 23, 2013 10:59PM

Updated: February 25, 2013 12:57PM
Coach Frank Klopas touts versatility as the most important characteristic for any of his players. It's almost a requirement for any player the Fire signs or drafts. "[The coaching staff can] keep that in mind throughout the season in case there are injuries or because of the amount of games you play during the week," Klopas said. "You should have players that can play a couple of different spots to be able to rotate guys if you do have the depth."
The opportunity to play different positions this early in camp gives players the chance for more playing time.
It also promotes more intrasquad competition on a Fire team that is one of the most talented in MLS. "You can always take the six weeks to not only see players in different spots, but also to experiment and see how certain players play together," Klopas said.
Nyarko has been held out of most of training camp with a "knee issue," but Klopas underscored that he isn't concerned. Nyarko is expected to begin running Thursday.

a construction method introduced in Chicago which rapidly spread throughout the region. The new construction method eliminated the massive timbers and pegged joints, substituting lighter boards that were nailed together. Vertical studs extend the full height of the wall of a balloon frame building, and floor joists are fastened to the studs with nails. The introduction and ensuing popularity of balloon frame construction coincided with the intensification of Wisconsin settlement and the opening of Wisconsin forests to the lumber industry. By 1892, the vast amount of milled lumber available made balloon frame construction an inexpensive and expedient choice for Wisconsin builders, and wood frame buildings of all descriptions became ubiquitous on the landscape.

Final Cut Pro X editors can now create anamorphic streaks out of light within FCPX with ProStreak from Pixel Film Studios.
Aliso Viejo, CA (PRWEB) February 14, 2014
Starting today anamorphic streaks are now possible in Apple's Final Cut Pro X with ProStreak from Pixel Film Studios.
Editors can create brilliant light streak effects in their next Final Cut Pro X project with ProStreak from Pixel Film Studios.
"ProStreak is an amazing and useful tool that utilizes existing light sources to create anamorphic light streaks to simulate a streak filter," said Christina Austin, CEO of Pixel Film Studios.
ProStreak is not just a video composite. This filter analyzes existing footage and works off the light in the film.
If an object passes in front of the light source in the footage, users can see the streak effects from ProStreak react to the change in light.
With 50 powerful presets and customization options, ProStreak allows users to control their Anampohic effects to work perfectly with their footage. Using simple sliders, editors can adjust the diffusion and intensity of their light.
ProStreak was created by the team at Pixel Film Studios to integrate perfectly with Final Cut Pro X to enhance the editing experience.
Take command of this plugin using the on-screen controls in the FCPX viewer. Simply grab control of the light selection area using the handles instead fumbling around in the inspector.
ProStreak was professionally designed to work inside Final Cut Pro X. Editors simply choose one of the plugins from the library, choose the effect , and use the FCPX Inspector to control the look.
ProStreak requires Final Cut Pro X version 10.1.1 or newer.
Established in 2006, Aliso Viejo, California-based Pixel Film Studios is an innovative developer of visual effects tools for the post-production and broadcast community. Their products are integrated with popular non-linear editing and compositing products from Apple FCPX.

New Bedford, MA (Dec. 23, 2011) – Sharks! Lots of them! The Buttonwood Park Zoo in New Bedford, MA is pleased to announce the recent hatch of 12 chain dogfish in the Zoo's Aquatics Building. The recently hatched sharks are between 3 and 5 inches long.
Chain dogfish (Scyliorhinus retifer) are a small species of shark that are found from Georges Bank to the coast of Nicaragua. Feeding primarily on squid, fish, crustaceans and polychaete worms, the sharks are bottom dwellers usually found between 120 and 2,000 feet. Beautifully marked with a dark brown or black chain pattern on a tan background, chain dogfish reach a size of 15 to 18 inches at maturity. Their mottled pattern helps them blend into the rocky sand. They spend the majority of their time resting on the ocean floor, blending in with their surroundings.
Adult chain dogfish are oviparous with the females laying egg cases in pairs. The embryos develop in the cases for 8 to 12 months. The length of time between laying and hatching is believed to be reliant on water temperature.
In addition to the 12 young sharks, the zoo also has adult chain dogfish and viable egg cases on exhibit. Close observation of the egg cases will reveal movement of the soon-to-hatch little sharks. Visit the Aquatics Building to see the Zoo's chain dogfish.
THANKS for the shark info — a TERRIFIC incentive to visit Our Zoo in the winter

Here's what the rumors say about when it's coming and what to expect.
Here's what the rumors say about when it's coming and what to expect.
Start placing your bets now.
According to widespread rumors and speculation, a new iPad 3 might come out next year, probably in March. The device will look a bit like something out of Star Trek with a screen that stretches from one end of the tablet to the other, almost like a see-through plate, according to rumors.
The Wall Street Journal reported back in August that component manufacturers in Asia—those who supply iPad parts such as the display and memory and processor chips—are already taking orders. An unnamed supplier told the WSJ that Apple has ordered 1.5 million parts for the new tablet.
Business Insider, on the other hand, reported more recently that Citi analyst Robert Gardner has said that Apple will release the new iPad 3 in February and has advised investors accordingly.
A new "retina" display, which matches the quality of the iPhone 4S in number of pixels on the screen at the same time, might run at 2048×1536 resolution, or roughly twice what you see on the current iPad, according to the report. At that resolution, movies and TV shows would look strikingly smooth.
Another widespread rumor is that the iPad 3 will come with a much higher resolution camera. The current iPad 2 snaps photos at just below one megapixel, producing blurry and almost unusable photos. The iPad 2 has two cameras, one on the front and one on the back. The front camera works better for video chats over the built-in Facetime app, but neither camera works well for still photos.
Speculation has run rampant over which processor will be used on the iPad 3. PC World suggests a new Apple processor called the A6 will power the next-gen tablet. The processor will improve battery life and game performance. The recently released Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime, which uses the NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, raises the bar for graphics performance with better lighting effects for games, water reflections, and smoke effects that rival what you see on some video games.
The rumors about the next iPad haven't hurt holiday sales for the current tablet, however. The LA Times reports that sales might hit a high of almost 14 million units.
So, will the iPad 3 be worth the wait? The details are still sketchy, but the announcements about component manufacturers and accessories-makers getting ready for the release are usually trustworthy, as they were with the iPhone 4 and last two iPad releases. But as always with Apple, there's no guarantee that it will offer the next iPad according to any set timetable.
Meanwhile, Google's Eric Schmidt offers another bit of news to feed the tablet rumor mill: "In the next six months, we plan to market a tablet of the highest quality," he reportedly told an Italian journalist. Android tablets haven't yet proven to be a serious contender to the iPad, but there's still time.

It's one of the few drawbacks of summer: Hair sometimes gets annoyingly out of control. The season's major threats - sun, heat, and humidity, not to mention chlorine and salt water - challenge all hair types, from curly to wavy to straight. The hair pros' secret to lowering the hassle quotient? Make the most of what you've got. That means not forcing tight ringlets to relax, or trying to coax waves out of stick-straight strands. Here's your personalized plan for a summer of carefree hair days.
Pick your hair type: Straight & Fine
Your Plan For Curly Hair:
The Challenge
It's keeping curls under control - even when humidity swells the cuticle, causing curls to look frizzy and frazzled. Curls are also more prone to dryness, since they're exposed to the elements from all angles. That's why you'll need heavier conditioning to stay soft and fuzz-free.
The Plan
In the shower: Space out shampooing or use conditioner alone, since even the gentlest suds can be drying. "Your hair will look healthier and less frizzy the less you agitate it," says Los Angeles hairstylist Stephanie Pohl. When you lather up, use a shampoo with a smoothing ingredient like silicone (or any ending in "-icone"). Try Kérastase Bain Oléo-Relax ($32, kerastase.com). Follow up with a curl conditioner like Pantene Pro-V Hydrating Curls Conditioner ($4, drugstores), and don't rinse it out fully to give hair a mini leave-in treatment.
Styling secrets: Gently towel-squeeze hair to remove water, then mix up this "stylists' special": three parts anti-frizz cream and one part serum. Use your fingers to twirl it down the hair shaft to the ends, working in one-inch sections. Dab a little at the hairline and roots, then air-dry. Try Dove Frizz Control Therapy Taming Cream ($3.78, drugstores) mixed with Göt2b Smooth Operator Smoothing Satin Drops ($8, drugstores). For frizzier spirals or on supersteamy days, use an anti-humidity cocktail of equal parts leave-in conditioner, medium-hold gel, and serum instead, suggests Los Angeles hairstylist Jonathan Hanousek.
In the salon: Be sure your stylist is a curly-hair specialist - most salons have one or more. And keep hair at least shoulder-length, with long layers: "You need length and weight to prevent hair from looking too puffy or mushroomlike," explains New York City salon owner Lisa Chiccine. Short layers, or none at all, add to the puffiness problem. It's also a good idea to have your hair snipped when it's dry, so your stylist can see exactly how your curls lie and what happens to them after each pass of the scissors. (Curly hair shrinks dramatically as it dries, so wet cutting ups the chance of too-short surprises.)
Emergency fix-it: "There's no better way to combat out-of-control curls when you're on the go than hand cream," says Hanousek. Simply rub a dollop between your hands and run them lightly over your 'do to moisturize hair and smooth flyaways.

Chicken Waldorf Salad - One is Fun!
This would make a perfect main-course salad for a hot summer's day, served on a bed of crisp lettuce and garnished with watercress. A Marks & Spencer cooked chicken leg portion is the perfect size.

This recipe is taken from Delia Smith's One is Fun!
Begin by stripping the skin from the chicken and discarding it. Then remove the flesh from the bones and slice it into longish, 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick pieces, and place these in a bowl. Then add the chopped celery to the bowl, together with the spring onion and chopped walnuts.
Now for the dressing: if you are using fresh tarragon, chop it and add it to the chicken. If dried, then put half a teaspoonful into a mortar along with with a third of a teaspoon rock salt and half a clove of garlic: then pound these to a paste. After that add the mayonnaise and yoghurt with a few twists of freshly milled pepper, then blend everything together thoroughly.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together well to get a good coating of the dressing. Arrange some lettuce leaves in a shallow serving dish, pile the chicken salad on top, sprinkle the grapes all over, and garnish with sprigs of watercress.

Educational programming has long been an important part of Friends of the High Line, beginning in 2001 with partnerships with the New York City Laboratory School for Collaborative Studies and the Hudson Guild, a Chelsea community center that serves lower-income residents. Education programs serve 3,000 students and chaperones each year through guided field trips, after-school programs, teaching artist residencies, school partnerships, and teen programs.
After-School Programs
Friends of the High Line has offered weekly after-school programs at local elementary school P.S. 11 since Fall, 2010. Through arts-based workshops and regular trips to the High Line, children explore High Line ecology, park design, and the history of Manhattan's West Side. The 2013 curriculum focuses on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) learning through an active investigation of the structure, horticulture, and life-cycle of the High Line.
Field Trips
High Line Field Trips provide grades 2 through 7 with fun, hands-on explorations of park design, native ecology, and the history of Manhattan's West Side, from the Lenape to the present day. Through primary source documents, inquiry-based artifact investigations, and guided observation walks, field trips meet New York City and New York State Learning Standards, and the Common Core.
Local Partnerships
Local schools have a unique opportunity to engage in multi-visit programs that utilize the park as an extension of the classroom. Through a combination of in-school visits and guided excursions, High Line Educators tailor programs to meet the needs of local educators, from a three-part history program at P.S. 33, to a month-long arts program at P.S. 11, to a year-long ecology study at P.S. 3.
Self-Guided Visits
More than 6,000 students and chaperones visited the High Line for a self-guided experience in 2012. In response, Friends of the High Line is creating a new set of self-guided tours. Sign up for the High Line E-News to stay updated on the release!
Friends of the High Line is a resource for local public schools.

Bass Pro Shops® Power Plus™ Trophy Class Spinning Rods
Tackle big fish like catfish, striper, and largemouth bass. These rods have plenty of backbone and muscle, yet without large diameters and weight. The secret is in the unidirectional fiberglass construction that eliminates the layering normally found in fiberglass rods. This process also adds flexibility, eliminating premature breakage and stress on the wrist. Features an extended EVA foam handle, for extra power and fighting leverage, that easily fits in rod holders, heavy-duty double foot aluminum oxide guides, hook keeper for pre-rigging and sensitive graphite reel seat.
Rated 4 out of 5 by 14
Rated 5 out of 5 by anotherJim Great Rod at a Great Price
I have the 7'6" rod which pairs great with my 4500 sized reel. On many occasions this season, I hauled large bluefish out of heavy current , and the rod handled it just fine. I used it from the riverbank, in the surf, on jetties, and from a boat, with no complaints.
The rod is rated 1/2 to 2 oz, and threw these weights well, but 1/2 oz was below its optimum range, especially while using 30lb+ braid. It really flings 1&1/2 to 2&1/2 oz, though, which suited me as I like to toss wooden plugs around those weights.
I wish this rod were available in longer models, it would be a solid and affordable choice for surfcasting.

I bought this rod specifically to throw the Alabama Rig, it does an outstanding job. My previous rod was only a medium duty and with the weight of the A-Rig it was an ounce or more of weight I and it eventually it bent the guide at the top of that rod. This bad boy, no problems at all. Can be used for catfish and saltwater fishing as well. Although its fiberglass construction its alot lighter than I thought it would be. I bought the 6' 6" Medium - Heavy (2 piece) I couldn't be happier with it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by thepopola great value
Bought this rod in the 7'6" version for my son in Kansas. He took it trolling for Walleye and Catfish and said it performed perfectly. Demonstrating amazing power and backbone. I actually bought a 6' 6" a few years ago and have loved it as well.
Would abosolutely consider buying another one.

Yes. It's tough and the longest model is only 7'6". It won't throw light stuff, though. So, keep that in mindTop 250 Contributor
I would say a Ugly Stik regular or Ugly Stik Lite, in about 5 1/2 ft. They are very reasonably priced and you can't kill them.Best idea would be to go to a Bass Pro store and feel them. You don't want to over-rod a youngster, but with this type rod they will be able to use it for a good while as they grow.
This rod is a heavy duty rod, not necessarly a heavy rod. Most 12 year olds would be able to handle this rod.Details:
Would you be able to use this rod for mukie, both casting and trolling.Answers
Once the fish is hooked the rod will handle it no problem. I don't know what weight lures you throw, but I doubt you'll get much distance lighter than 3/4 oz.Trolling, yes.
Yes, but you may find the butt grip to be too short and therefore not provide enough support under your elbow.A:
This rod can definately be used for Muskie. Good for trolling or casting.Details:

New position for No. 1 pick?

08:10 AM ET 10.17 | Aren't the Hornets set at the three? On the surface, it would appear that players such as Al-Farouq Aminu and rookie Darius Miller would be the team's primary option this season at the small forward position, or even veteran acquisition Ryan Anderson. But Hornets Coach Monty Williams offered an intriguing candidate as a possible part of the position's rotation on Tuesday: Anthony Davis. In saying that no one has yet to step up and dominate the battle for the position, Williams said if the Hornets went to a big lineup, Davis could play the three. "Anthony moreso than Ryan," Williams said. "The more I watch those guys play, Anthony has the skill set where he can play the wing a little bit."
Oh sooooooooo, this is what you drafted Davis for, the three, how ingenius Monty. Damn none of us invisioned this. Don't get me wrong, we all know Davis a shoot from that distance, he can pass, and he can drive to the hoop, but da three Monty?

maybe the NBA should start doing random drug testing on it's coaches too.... just a suggestion...

I'd love to see him try to guard the likes of LBJ or Durant...
he's got a slender type camby body....he's not going to bang underneath but yet come across the lane and help on another man to block shots. 8pts-8brds-2.5blocks a game this season......sure, if you think he can guard a 3 in this league then try it but since he has never played that position then it's a stretch. a sign of good coaching is putting your players in the best position to succeed.
Why not the three? He's same size and build with a more diverse offensive game and better handle than Kevin Garnett at that age. He can also use his quickness and length to terrorize opposing threes. This is actually brilliant.
Who plays the 5?
One of the Lopez twins and another young backup that the Hornets are developing.
I don't know- it seems like if they are already talking about him moving positions....they don't think he can handle being an NBA big.....this is not good news for the franchise
Young team, young coach...I think it's all rhetoric to give the other coaches things to worry about in their planning. Coach will do the right thing with this team.
I like this idea also. Leave Anderson at the 4 and Lopez at the 5. They can do the dirty work down low.
Anderson is a gunner. And you'd have to point a gun at him to get him in the paint. He can't defend the 4 so that lineup won't work.
Anderson is a gunner. And you'd have to point a gun at him to get him in the paint. He can't defend the 4 so that lineup won't work.
You'd probably have to fire the gun a few times to get him in the paint! LOL...and forget about guarding a 4, he couldnt guard any position on the court. Sure he can shoot the roc but he is totally useless on D...heck, give any NBA player enough 3s and he'll hit

Powder and Lipstick Were on Just So: The Ideal Woman, Perceptions of Labor Pain, and the Use of Obstetric Anesthesia
October 16, 2007
UCLA Faculty Center
Jacqueline Wolf, Ph.D.
Professor of Social Medicine, Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine
Introduction by Mary Terrall, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of History, UCLA
In the 1970s the lay press celebrated natural childbirth as invigorating and transforming. Today attitudes are starkly different: newspapers and magazines ridicule natural childbirth as "an extreme sport" and urge women to opt for an epidural. How do medical and social approaches to labor change so radically in one generation? In these talks, Professor Wolf will examine the history of medical and social views of labor pain and corresponding changes in the use of obstetric anesthesia and link those changes to broad contemporary social concerns and the cultural perception of women.

Hot profits from 3 Snowmageddon stocks
As the Mid-Atlantic battles record-breaking snow, these stocks could bring red-hot returns to savvy investors.
By Jim Woods, InvestorPlace.com
Already, the storms of February 2010 have brought blizzard conditions to the Washington, D.C. metro area, New York City and many other Northeastern cities. In addition to record-breaking snowfall, temperatures in many areas of the country have been way below normal this winter, especially in the Midwest and East Coast.
And according to the 2010 Farmers' Almanac, this winter will likely see many more days with below-normal average temperatures -- not just in the Midwest and East Coast but for about three-quarters of the nation. The fallout from these cold temps is a constriction of outdoor activity, more time indoors, increased use of heaters, and when you have to go outside, the need to bundle up.
Fortunately, this year's cold spell isn't all bad. In fact, a grumpy Old Man Winter could actually bring warmth to investors savvy enough to take advantage of the extreme weather. And with this in mind, here are three cold weather stocks that might just heat up your portfolio.
United States Natural Gas (UNG): Okay, it's not actually a stock; but United States Natural Gas is an ETF designed to replicate the performance, net of expenses, of natural gas. The logic for UNG is simple -- the colder it is outside, the more we need to heat our homes and offices, and most of us do this via natural gas. The increased demand for natural gas should translate into higher natural gas prices. Of course, sometimes this simple logic isn't quite that simple. But I suspect that if we continue having cold weather, as the experts predict, then the supply situation will begin to dwindle as demand becomes stronger. If this dynamic does take shape, it could mean a big surge in natural gas prices.
VF Corp. (VFC): Eventually, you have to venture outside no matter how cold it is. To stay warm, you'll need to bundle up, and what better brand to bundle up with than the North Face? This leading cold-weather gear brand is made by VF Corp. which also makes well-known clothing brands like Wrangler jeans, Vans shoes and JanSport luggage. The stock has been on a tear of late, climbing 33% over the past six months. On February 11, we'll find out how the company performed in the most recent quarter. All indications are for a strong earnings showing, and if that happens, it just could be due to amped-up sales from those seeking the warmth of its North Face brand.
Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS): When you need to buy North Face sportswear, where do you go? One hot retailer that sells both is Dick's Sporting Goods. In November, the company reported better-than-expected third-quarter earnings on rising same-store sales. Dick's attributed the rise in same-store sales to strong performance of both the North Face and Columbia Sportswear brands. The company also said the increased sales for these brands were likely due to fears of a harsh winter. Well, we all know that harsh winter came to fruition, and it's not over yet. As the cold winds continue blowing, look for more shoppers to continue visiting Dick's Sporting Goods for all of their cold-weather gear. And for two more "cold weather stocks," read: "5 Ways to Profit from Snowmageddon."
At the time of this writing, the author did now own shares of UNG, VGC or DKS.

Yeki bud, yeki nabud: essays on the archaeology of Iran in honor of William M. SumnerA collection of essays put together by colleagues, friends, and students of William M. Summer to honor his contribution to Iranian archaeology and archaeological field methodology. Topical contributions emphasize the methodological aspects of analysis of survey data, while regional contributions focus on two of the main geographical areas studied by archaeologists in Iran: the southwest and the northwest. Papers primarily concern the fifth to second millennia BCE in the southwest and the first millennium BCE in both areas. With its interdisciplinary approach, this volume is of interest to Iranists, as well as students of general ancient and modern Near Eastern studies. Several themes recur: the relations between mobile and sedentary peoples; the difficulty of identifying political or cultural boundaries; and the importance of geographical factors in understanding sociocultural phenomena. |

I use dye to keep bottom plant growth subdued by reducing sunlight. I wish it would last a little longer. Treatment needed every month.

Rated 5 out of 5 by HookNLineWebDesign Couldn't ask for a better Protein Feeder!
We have one of these Boss Buck 1200LB Protein Feeders on our property so far. We also have two of the next size down from this one. You couldn't ask for a better protein feeder than this. We've had the feeders 3 or 4 years and they look like they did the day we bought them. They are extremely durable and are built to last. The deer aren't spooked by them AT ALL. The only problem we ever have is keeping them full.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LelandB Boss Buck 1,200# deer feeder
This is an excellent product. Best of the best & I have used them all. One of the only feeders with this kind of capacity. Deer were working me to death keeping 300# gravity feeders full. They would clean it out in 5-7 days. I can go a full month before having to refill this one.
You can buy the Boss Buck conversion kit & turn this gravity feeder to a timed spin cast feeder. Easy to do.
I use it as a gravity feeder to keep deer on my farm during the off season & convert it to a spin cast feeder during hunting season to keep the deer feeding times on my schedule.
High enough up to keep Hogs out.
Has lifetime warranty. Very durable product.

Seeing Beyond the Visible: Photography with Near Infrared Illumination
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have an extra sense? What if you could hear above the normal range (ultrasound) like dogs or bats? What if you could see ultraviolet light, like bees or juvenile trout? What if you could see infrared light, like a rattlesnake or boa constrictor? This project shows you how you can use a camera, tripod and a special filter to take pictures using near infrared illumination. It's a whole new way of looking at the world.Objective
The goal of this project is to use infrared photography to measure the transmission and reflection of near-infrared light by ordinary objects in our everyday surroundings.

This is a project that will have you looking at the world in a whole new way. You can use a camera to extend your vision into the near infrared, which is beyond the range of what our eyes can detect. Visible light is just a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Visible light has wavelengths ranging from roughly 400 to 700 nm (1 nm = 10-9 m). The perceived color of the light changes with wavelength (see Figure 1). Shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies and higher energy. Longer wavelengths have lower frequencies and lower energy.
Below 400 nm is the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Ultraviolet light is not visible, but has higher energy than visible light (think of sunburn). At even shorter wavelengths are x-rays and beyond that, gamma rays, each with increasing frequency and energy. Infrared light is beyond the other end of the visible spectrum, with wavelengths longer than about 700 nm. This light has lower energy than visible light. Beyond the infrared region of the spectrum are microwaves, and then progressively longer-wavelength (and lower-energy) radiofrequency bands: TV and FM radio, shortwave and AM radio, and finally aircraft and shipping bands.
Infrared light is often divided into three different "bands": near, mid, and far infrared. For infrared photography, it is the near infrared (NIR) band that is detected. As with visible-light photography, NIR photography is capturing reflected light (not intrinsic heat of objects, which is emitted at longer IR wavelengths). What makes this project fascinating is that you get to find out how well (or how poorly) objects in the environment reflect or transmit NIR wavelengths. Since we are accustomed to seeing objects in the visible spectrum, this new way of looking at the world is often surprising.
Terms and Concepts
To do this project, you should do research that enables you to understand the following terms and concepts:
- electromagnetic spectrum,
- visible spectrum,
- infrared spectrum,
- reflection,
- transmission,
- scattering.
- Near, mid, and far infrared:

"Cool Cosmos Home Page," Infrared Processing and Analysis Center, California Institute of Technology [accessed April 4, 2006] http://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu/.

McCreary, J., 2004. "Infrared Basics for Digital Photographers," Digital Photography for What Its Worth [accessed April 4, 2006] http://dpfwiw.com/ir.htm.
Materials and Equipment
To do this experiment you will need the following materials and equipment:
- tripod,
- NIR pass filter (blocks visible light; e.g., Hoya R72, Wratten 89b (passes some visible light), B+W 092),
- remote control (e.g., one used for TV, DVD, or VCR),
- a camera, this can be either:
- a digital camera with near IR sensitivity and the ability to manually control long exposures, or
- a film camera with manual exposure control (use both IR-sensitive and normal film).
- Photo editing software will be useful for analyzing results with digital photos.

I Did This Project! Please log in and let us know how things went.Experimental Procedure
- If you are planning to use a digital camera for this project, it is a good idea to test its sensitivity to NIR before spending your money on a visible light blocking filter. Sensitivity to NIR for digital camera determined by the intrinsic properties of the light-sensing chip, plus the IR transmission of the filters (color, and IR blocking) in the light path. Silicon-based sensors typically do have a measurable response to NIR. Because of this, camera manufacturers often use an IR-blocking filter in front of the sensor, so that only visible light is recorded. (For a film camera, sensitivity is determined by the film, so IR-blocking filters are typically not used.) Here's a "quick-and-dirty" method for testing the IR sensitivity of your digital camera (McCreary, 2004):
- Put your camera in Program mode at ISO 100.
- Have a helper point a TV, camera or other IR remote into the lens from no more than 12" away. (If you can see your camera's LCD screen from the front of the camera, you can do this yourself.)
- Have your helper press any button on the remote.
- Look for the IR beam in the camera's through-the-lens (TTL) LCD screen or electronic viewfinder.
- Compare the IR beam that you see with the images below in Figure 2. If the IR beam looks about as bright as the one on the left, you should be able to get handheld NIR images with a Hoya 72 or Wratten 89b filter. If the IR beam is as dim as the one on the right, you will need to use a tripod and long exposures. If the IR beam looks even dimmer, you should consider using a film camera or choose another project.
- Do background research to learn about how ordinary objects transmit and reflect NIR light. What are good sources of NIR light?
- Take photographs of the same scene using NIR and visible light. It will be easier to make comparisons if you convert the images to grayscale (or use black-and-white film, if using a film camera).
- Note that it is somewhat tricky to compare grayscale values between two images taken with different lighting. You will either have to use relative comparisons within each image, or find an object whose reflectivity is similar in visible and NIR and use it to set a common scale for both images.
- Compare the sky in visible and infrared photos. What happens when the sky is hazy, or foggy? Hint: use known distances in your NIR and visible-light photographs to measure any effects.
- Compare reflectivity of ordinary objects, both natural and manmade, in both visible and NIR illumination. What differences do you notice? Can you explain them?

I Did This Project! Please log in and let us know how things went.Variations
- Try different light sources: sunlight, incandescent bulb, fluorescent tube, xenon flash.
- Can you "see" heat with NIR? Photograph identical cups holding water at different temperatures (or the same cup photographed sequentially with water at different temperatures). Use ice cold, room temperature and very hot water (be careful!) Do you see any differences?
- Investigate IR reflection and transmission of different types of window glass. Use either sunlight or incandescent light as the light source.

I received this as a gift and I was really excited because the bottle is absolutely adorable! At first, I hated the scent. But now, it's not bad. However, I would recommend people to buy the sample pack with all 5 of them before getting the larger bottles since these are more expensive than some other fragrances.
