Final Score: Seattle 5, Cleveland 1
Goodyear, AZ (Sports Network) - Carlos Peguero slugged a pair of solo homers to lead the Seattle Mariners to a 5-1 win over the Cleveland Indians in spring-training play.
Raul Ibanez and Kendrys Morales each went 2-for-3 for the Mariners, who received solid pitching performances from prospects Danny Hultzen and Taijuan Walker as well.
Hultzen struck out four Indians over two scoreless innings to begin the game, with Walker yielding just one walk while fanning two over the next two frames.
Cleveland starter Brett Myers gave up just two hits over three innings, but one was Peguero's first homer of the day.
Yan Gomes finished 2-for-2 with a double to pace the Indians offensively.

I am extremely amazed with how this one of a kind salt and pepper shaker looks like. The aesthetically designed Salt and Pepper shaker by Tel Mor and Shlomi Azulay is really stunning and it will not only hold your salt and pepper safely but also will hold them in style. This one of a kind salt and pepper shakers have silicon coating that adds up to the item's eye-catching aesthetics. Made of plastic, just press the container and the holes will be revealed, which is cool enough to appreciate. The various shapes that the Salt and Pepper Rocks has made it even more unique as compared to any other salt and pepper shakers available in the market today and this will surely bring some added appetite during mealtime.

Designed by Ron Arad, this bath has a unique idea. Combining bathtub and a shower, you can have dual functionality just by rotating it. When you turn the wide lip at the lowest point, you can use it as a bathtub, but when you want to use it as a standing shower, just rotate it again. To clean water from the bath is also easy, just rotate it into shower position, and you're done.
Official from Teuco :
Designer, artist and renowned architect, Ron Arad uses the malleability of duralight and Teuco know-how to present �Rotator�, an original space and a new enjoyable experience in which a continuous and unexpected flow of water becomes the protagonist. The slowly rotating basin transforms into a shower and the continuously flowing water becomes an essential component of the product�s beauty. The background for this creation is a floor with mirrored light and glossy white walls with small red shelves that exalt the materiality and the multi-functionality that are characteristic of duralight.

AssetWorks announced that long-time customer the City of Colorado Springs, Colo. upgraded to the browser-based version of FleetFocus. Additionally, Colorado Springs Mountain Metropolitan Transit Authority (Mountain Metro) is joining the city in using the single database to manage all fleet maintenance operations.
"By joining Mountain Metropolitan Transit in the upgrade to the browser-based version of FleetFocus, both the city and the transit can use the same system and view the same data," Tom Monarco, fleet manager, City of Colorado Springs. "Now that we'll be on the same system, we anticipate that it can help improve our efficiency in taking care of the vehicles that service the citizens of Colorado Springs."
AssetWorks software is configured to track the 4,700 vehicle units maintained by the city and the nearly 200 revenue and non-revenue vehicles maintained by Mountain Metropolitan Transit, as well as the many bus stops throughout the city. FleetFocus fleet management software tracks all activities related to the acquisition, maintenance and disposal of these vehicles on a single database including work order processing, flexible preventive maintenance scheduling, warranty tracking, and detailed reporting.
The system can also improve customer communication through a secure customer access portal or through automated email notifications related to vehicle service and availability.
The energy will be used to help power the vehicles and run the climate control systems, lights, ramps and wheelchair lift while the buses are stopped, eliminating the need for idling.

Colorado School Places Saudi Arabian Flag Above U.S. Flag
An elementary school in Fort Collins, Colorado came under fire last week for having placed in the school a smaller sized Saudi Arabian flag in a higher, more prominent position that the flag of the United States. Many locals called this a disrespectful display and even wondered if it was part of some effort at anti-American indoctrination.
Colorado blog Greeley Report first noted the flag controversy by posting a photograph of the lobby display calling the positioning of the two flags "an outrage" and saying how the disrespect to the U.S. flag "shows how the indoctrination process continues without your consent or knowledge."
Bauder Elementary School Principal, Brian Carpenter, told the Greeley Gazette that this was simply a careless mistake. Not only was nothing meant by the placement of the flags, but the matter was quickly corrected to have the U.S. flag hang higher than the others in the lobby.
But what was the Saudi flag even doing in the school in the first place?
According to the school, the purpose of the international flags is to recognize the nationality of the many students in the school who come from other countries. Carpenter said the school has many parents from other countries who attend Colorado State University… Carpenter said the school has approximately 20 other flags besides the U.S. flag throughout the building.
There doesn't seem to be any reason to imagine that this school had any intention of demoting the importance of Old Glory, especially to give the Saudi flag a place of higher prominence. I see no reason to think that the school is engaging in any direct anti-Americanism.
However, there is still a problem here. The whole reason these flags of other nations were there in the first place is something that as a culture we should stop doing. This whole idiotic celebration of everyone's "heritage" is a dangerous and self-destructive habit that we should end forthwith.
Over the last few years many European nations like France and England have seen their cities burning to the ground in riots caused by the same idiotic indulgence in multiculturalism as being displayed in the school in Fort Collins.
There is absolutely no reason whatever to have flags of other nations hanging in an elementary school. We are Americans, not Saudis or Mexicans. The more we push this unhealthy focus on distant heritage in the classroom the more we risk diluting any connection our young citizens have with this country.
There is nothing wrong with being interested in genealogy and family history, of course. But these interests should be the subject of things better done at home or at the very least if it has to be a part of the school curriculum as a single classroom project that can be done once and then left behind while other subjects are pursued.

On ReadCube, and Nature's give-away
December 9, 2014
It's been a week since Nature announced what they are now calling "read-only sharing by subscribers" — a much more accurate title than the one they originally used on that piece, "Nature makes all articles free to view" [old link, which now redirects]. I didn't want to leap straight in with a comment at the time, because this is a complex issue and I felt it better to give my thoughts time to percolate.
Meanwhile, other commentators have weighed in, and have mostly been pretty negative. John Wilbanks described it as "canonization of a system that says a small number of companies not only do control the world's knowledge, but should control all the world's knowledge"; Ross Mounce characterised it as "beggar access"; Peter Murray-Rust says "Nature's fauxpen access leaves me very sad and very angry". Perhaps surprisingly, Michael Eisen is more temperate, asking whether Nature's policy is "a magnanimous gesture or a cynical ploy", and concluding only "At the end of the day, this is a pretty cynical move".
I am a bit more optimistic (although as you will see, still not really happy).
First of all, let's say clearly that this is a step in a good direction. Nature's papers are now at least somewhat easier for regular people to get hold of, and that is to be applauded. Even if Mike Eisen's cynical reading is correct, it's still a net good.
But — and it's a big but — I have a huge problem with the use of ReadCube, or any equivalent, to provide a crippled form of access. Rather than Ross's term "beggar access", which focusses on the need to get a subscriber to share a link, I think the best term to describe what Nature is offering here is "broken access". Broken by deliberately locking the content into the ReadCube jail, to prevent printing, downloading, copy-pasting, etc.
My issue with this is two-fold: both practical and philosophical. Practically, PDFs are very far from perfect, but there's a lot we can do with them (including printing, downloading, copy-pasting, etc.) Most crucially, when I download a PDF, I have it forever. I can refer back to it whenever I need it, without depending on a third party. It becomes part of my research toolkit. I know it's not going to vanish when my back is turned.
By contrast, we never know when we're going to be able to read these Nature papers. Certainly not when we're offline. Maybe not when there's a service outage. Probably not after the end of the one-year pilot. And you can't build research on something that you can't rely on existing. It's not real.
But the philosophical issue is really burns is that ReadCube exists precisely in order to take away functionality. Its purpose is to make access limited, ephemeral, unreliable and less useful. And I find that offensive. The idea of doing work to remove functionality hurts me. The idea of all those clever people doing all that hard work to take functionality away. It's wrong. It's burning value.
So I end up feeling conflicted about the new Nature policy. It is a forward step; but one that I literally don't ever see myself taking advantage of. A much more useful policy (to me anyway) would be to keep new articles under lock and key, but make them truly open after, say, a year. Because for a scientist, usefulness trumps timeliness.
Finally, Matt makes this point:
Nature papers are short, typically 5 pages or fewer. With big, modern monitors, you can usually get away with screen-shotting a whole page in one go, or in two takes and the world's easiest GIMP stitch at worst. So by not allowing people to download the PDFs, all they've done is ensure that the people who really need their own offline copy will have to waste maybe 15 minutes assembling one. So the 'barrier' they've put up is low and crossable, it's just annoying. Is that what Nature wants to be known for, annoying their users to death?
Open-access megajournals reduce the peer-review burden
November 27, 2014
Despite the flagrant trolling of its title, Nature's recent opinion-piece Open access is tiring out peer reviewers is mostly pretty good. But the implication that the rise of open-access journals has increased the aggregate burden of peer-review is flatly wrong, so I felt obliged to leave a comment explaining why. Here is that comment, promoted to a post of its own (with minor edits for clarity):
Much of what is said here is correct and important. Although it would be nice if Nature could make a bit more of an effort to avoid the obvious conflict-of-interest issues that lead it to title the piece so misleadingly as an attack on open access. I am glad that so many of the other commenters on this piece saw straight through that rather snide piece of propaganda.
Only one important error of interpretation here, I think. I quote:
The rise of the open-access (OA) movement compounds this effect [i.e. the increasing number of articles needing peer-review.] The business case for online OA journals, to which authors pay submission fees, works best at high volume. And for many of these journals, submitted work is published as long as it is methodologically sound. It does not have to demonstrate, for example, the novelty or societal relevance that some traditional journals demand.
The implication is that journals of this kind (PLOS ONE, PeerJ, the various Frontiers journals) increase the total peer-review burden. In fact, the exact opposite is the case. They greatly reduce the the total amount of peer reviewing.
It's an open secret that nearly every paper eventually gets published somewhere. Under the old regime, the usual approach is to "work down the ladder", submitting the same paper repeatedly to progressively less prestigious journals until it reached one that was prepared to publish work of the supplied level of sexiness. As a result, many papers go through four, five or more rounds of peer-review before finally finding a home. Instead, such papers when submitted to a review-for-soundness-only venue such as PLOS ONE require only a single round of review. (Assuming of course that they are indeed methodologically sound!)
The rise of review-for-soundness-only journals ("megajournals") is an unequivocal improvement in the scientific publishing landscape, and should be welcomed by all parties: authors, who no longer have to submit to the monumental waste of time and effort that is the work-down-the-ladder system; readers, who get access to new research much more quickly; and editors and reviewers who no longer have to burn hours re-reviewing and re-re-reviewing perfectly good papers that have already been repeatedly rejected for a perceived lack of glamour.
Is publishing "just a button"?
November 22, 2014
Matt's post yesterday was one of several posts on this blog that have alluded to Clay Shirky's now-classic article How We Will Read [archived copy]. Here is the key passage that we keep coming back to:
Publishing is not evolving. Publishing is going away. Because the word "publishing" means a cadre of professionals who are taking on the incredible difficulty and complexity and expense of making something public. That's not a job anymore. That's a button. There's a button that says "publish," and when you press it, it's done.
In ye olden times of 1997, it was difficult and expensive to make things public, and it was easy and cheap to keep things private. Privacy was the default setting. We had a class of people called publishers because it took special professional skill to make words and images visible to the public. Now it doesn't take professional skills. It doesn't take any skills. It takes a WordPress install.
… and of course as SV-POW! itself demonstrates, it doesn't even need a WordPress install — you can just use the free online service.
This passage has made a lot of people very excited; and a lot other people very unhappy and even angry. There are several reasons for the widely differing responses, but I think one of the important ones is a pun on the word "publish".
When Shirky uses the word, he is talking about making something public, available to the world. Which after all is its actual meaning.
But when academics use the word "publish" they usually mean something quite different — they mean the whole process that a research paper goes through between submission and a PDF appearing in a stable location (and in some cases, copies being printed). That process involves many other aspects besides actual publishing — something that in fact Shirky goes straight on to acknowledge:
The question isn't what happens to publishing — the entire category has been evacuated. The question is, what are the parent professions needed around writing? Publishing isn't one of them. Editing, we need, desperately. Fact-checking, we need. For some kinds of long-form texts, we need designers.
And this is dead on target. Many writers need editors[*], to varying degrees. Fact-checking could be equated with peer-review, which we pretty much all agree is still very important. Most academic publishers do a certain amount of design (although I suspect that in the great majority of cases this is 99% automatic, and probably involves human judgement only in respect of where to position the illustrations).
But due to the historical accident that it used to be difficult and costly to make and distribute copies, all those other tasks — relatively inexpensive ones, back in the days when distribution was the expensive thing — have become bundled with the actual publishing. With hilarious consequences, as they say. You know, "hilarious" in the sense of "tragic, and breathtakingly frustrating".
That's why we're stuck in an idiot world where, when we need someone to peer-review our manuscript, we usually trade away our copyright in exchange (and not even to the people who provide the expert review). If you stop and think about that for a moment, it makes absolutely no sense. When I recently wrote a book about Doctor Who, I had several people proofread it, but I didn't hand over copyright to any of them. My ability to distribute copies was not hobbled by having had independent eyes look it over. There is no reason why it should have, and there is no reason why our ability to distribute copies of our academic works should be limited, either.
What we need is the ability to pay a reasonable fee for the services we need — peer-review, layout design, reference linking — and have the work published freely.
Well, wouldja lookit that. Looks like I just invented Gold Open Access.
Is publishing just a button? Yes. Making things public is now trivial to do, and in fact much of what so-called publishers now do is labouring to prevent things from being public. But we do need other things apart from actual publishing — things that publishers have historically provided, for reasons that used to make sense but no longer do.
Exactly what those things are, and how extensive and important they are, is a discussion for another day, but they do exist.
[*] Note: the whole issue of academic publishing is further confused by another pun, this one on the word "editor". When Shirky refers to editors, he means people who sharpen up an author's prose — cutting passages, changing word choices, etc. Academic editors very rarely do that, and would be resented if they did. In our world, an "editor" is usually the nominally independent third party who solicits and evaluates peer-reviews, and makes the accept/reject decision. Do we need editors, in this academic sense? We'll discuss that properly another time, but I'll say now that I am inclined to think we do.
Have De Gruyters enclosed previously open-access Bepress journals?
November 16, 2014
At the end of October, we published a short piece called CC-By documents cannot be re-enclosed if their publisher is acquired. In an interesting discussion in the comments, moominoid asked:
Isn't this what happened when DeGruyter acquired BEPress?
This is the announcement of the acquisition. If you visit the journals now, they are behind paywalls, when they were OA before the acquisition.
Having previously read (and commented favourably on) an interview with bepress CEO Jean-Gabriel Bankier, I was disappointed to think this might be true. I emailed him to ask for clarification, and he passed my message on to Irene Kamotsky, bepress's Director of Strategic Initiatives. A little later, she send a helpful a detailed response, which I now reproduce with her permission.

Subject: Re: Previous OA journals enclosed behind paywalls?
Dear Mike,
I apologize for sitting on this for so long — thank you so much for following up, and for clarifying what was, indeed, always a bit confusing about the bepress-published journals that are now with deGruyter.
To answer your question, the bepress journals were not open access in the formal (Budapest) definition of the term, and they never used a CC license. The copyright was traditional publisher-owned copyright, with permission to authors to post their articles on their websites and university IRs.
The bepress journals did have an unusual access policy: we made all articles available to readers for free, as a way to demonstrate demand and urge libraries to subscribe. Basically, if a guest filled out a short form we would grant them access to the article. We would tally those forms by institution and then call the library and ask them to subscribe. There's an article in Learned Publishing that describes the model in more detail. It wasn't open access but it was a good balance for many years. Unfortunately, libraries facing strong budget pressures stopped subscribing. They said "we can't justify paying for a title that our authors can get for free. We have to spend the money on titles that are otherwise unavailable."
At the same time, we had already developed our institutional repository and publishing platform called Digital Commons. This platform allowed libraries to host and publish their own faculty's and students' journals (among all the other digital scholarly content produced on campus), and this has turned out to be an extremely successful approach. There are now nearly 800 journals published by libraries using Digital Commons, the vast majority of which are open access (and none charge author article fees). You can see a brief overview of this new model in a recent report.
I'd be happy to talk more about the new direction in library-led publishing; I know this is a growing interest among UK libraries. Is this something you're seeing as well?
Thanks again for getting in touch, and clarifying this point.
All best,
Is my new sauropod-neck cartilage paper "published"?
November 6, 2014
In a comment on the last post, Mark Robinson asked an important question:
You linked to the preprint of your The neck of Barosaurus was not only longer but also wider than those of Diplodocus and other diplodocines submission – does this mean that it has not yet been formally published?
As so often in these discussions, it depends what we mean by our terms. The Barosaurus paper, like this one on neck cartilage, is "published" in the sense that it's been released to the public, and has a stable home at a well known location maintained by a reputable journal. It's open for public comment, and can be cited in other publications. (I notice that it's been cited in Wikipedia). It's been made public, which after all is the root meaning of the term "publish".
On the other hand, it's not yet "published" in the sense of having been through a pre-publication peer-review process, and perhaps more importantly it's not yet been made available via other channels such as PubMed Central — so, unlike say our previous PeerJ paper on sauropod neck anatomy, it would in some sense go away if PeerJ folded or were acquired by a hostile entity. But then the practical truth is of course that we'd just make it directly available here on SV-POW!, where any search would find it.
In short, the definition of what it means for a paper to be "published" is rather fluid, and is presently in the process of drifting. More than that, conventions vary hugely between fields. In maths and astronomy, posting a preprint on arXiv (their equivalent of PeerJ Preprints, roughly) pretty much is publication. No-one in those fields would dream of not citing a paper that had been published in that way, and reputations in those fields are made on the basis of arXiv preprints. [Note: I was mistaken about this, or at least oversimplified. See David Roberts' and Michael Richmond's comments below.]
Maybe the most practical question to ask about the published-ness or otherwise of a paper is, how does it affect the author's job prospects? When it comes to evaluation by a job-search panel, or a promotion committee, or a tenure board, what counts? And that is a very hard question to answer, as it depends largely on the institution in question, the individuals on the committee, and the particular academic field. My gut feeling is that if I were looking for a job in palaeo, the Barosaurus preprint and this cartilage paper would both count for very little, if anything. But, candidly, I consider that a bug in evaluation methods, not a problem with pre-printing per se. But then again, it's very easy for me to say that, as I'm in the privileged position of not needing to look for a job in palaeo.
For Matt and me, at least as things stand right now, we do feel that we have unfinished business with these papers. In their present state, they represent real work and a real (if small) advance in the field; but we don't feel that our work here is done. That's why I submitted the cartilage paper for peer-review at the same time as posting it as a preprint (it's great that PeerJ lets you do both together); and it's why one of Matt's jobs in the very near future will be getting the Barosaurus revised in accordance with the very helpful reviews that we received, and then also submitted for peer-review. We do still want that "we went through review" badge on our work (without believing it means more than it really does) and the archiving in PubMed Central and CLOCKSS, and the removal of any reason for anyone to be unsure whether those papers "really count".
But I don't know whether in ten years, or even five, our attitude will be the same. After all, it changed long ago in maths and astronomy, where — glory be! — papers are judged primarily on their content rather than on where they end up published.
Sauropods' neutral neck postures were really weird
November 5, 2014
Last night, I submitted a paper for publication — for the first time since April 2013. I'd almost forgotten what it felt like. But, because we're living in the Shiny Digital Future, you don't have to wait till it's been through review and formal publication to read it. I submitted to PeerJ, and at the same time, made it available as a preprint (Taylor 2014).
It's called "Quantifying the effect of intervertebral cartilage on neutral posture in the necks of sauropod dinosaurs", and frankly the results are weird. Here's a taste:
A year back, as I was composing a blog-post about our neck-cartilage paper in PLOS ONE (Taylor and Wedel 2013c), I found myself writing down the rather trivial formula for the additional angle of extension at an intervertebral joint once the cartilage is taken into account. In that post, I finished with the promise "I guess that will have to go in a followup now". Amazingly it's taken me a year to get that one-pager written and submitted. (Although in the usual way of things, the manuscript ended up being 13 pages long.)
To summarise the main point of the paper: when you insert cartilage of thickness t between two vertebrae whose zygapophyses articulate at height h above the centra, the more anterior vertebra is forced upwards by t/h radians. Our best guess for how much cartilage is between the adjacent vertebrae in an Apatosaurus neck is about 10% of centrum length: the image above shows the effect of inserting that much cartilage at each joint.
And yes, it's weird. But it's where the data leads me, so I think it would be dishonest not to publish it.
I'll be interested to see what the reviewers make of this. You are all of course welcome to leave comments on the preprint itself; but because this is going through conventional peer-review straight away (unlike our Barosaurus preprint), there's no need to offer the kind of detailed and comprehensive comment that several people did with the previous one. Of course feel free if you wish, but I'm not depending on it.

CC-By documents cannot be re-enclosed if their publisher is acquired
October 29, 2014
Just a quick post today, to refute an incorrect idea about open access that has unfortunately been propagated from time to time. That is the idea that if (say) PLOS were acquired by a barrier-based publisher such as Taylor and Francis, then its papers could be hidden behind paywalls and effectively lost to the world. For example, in Glyn Moody's article The Open Access Schism, Heather Morrison is quoted as follows:
A major concern about the current move towards CC-BY is that it might allow re-enclosure by companies […] This is a scenario suggested by assistant professor in the School of Information Studies at the University of Ottawa Heather Morrison. As she explains, "There is nothing in the CC BY license that would stop a business from taking all of the works, with attribution, and selling them under a more restrictive license—not only a more restrictive CC-type license (STM's license is a good indication of what could happen here), but even behind a paywall, then buying out the OA publisher and taking down the OA content."
This is flatly incorrect.
Reputable open-access publishers not only publish papers on their own sites but also place them in third-party archives, precisely to guard against doomsday scenarios. If (say) PeerJ were made an offer they couldn't refuse by Elsevier, then the new owners could certainly shut down the PeerJ site; but there's nothing the could do about the copies of PeerJ articles on PubMed Central, in CLOCKSS and elsewhere. And of course everyone who already has copies of the articles would always be free to distribute them in any way, including posting complete archives on their own websites.
Let's not accept this kind of scaremongering.

Ricciardo refusing to get caught up in rumors
Jul 18, 2013, 3:30 PM EDT
Daniel Ricciardo may have openly auditioned for Red Bull today at Silverstone, but the Australian driver is refusing to get caught up in rumors linking him with Mark Webber's seat at the team next season.
After Christian Horner confirmed that Red Bull were only considering Ricciardo and Raikkonen for the seat, you could forgive the Toro Rosso driver for getting his hopes up. However, he is just pleased to have had the chance to test the RB9 today.
"In terms of the inevitable speculation, I think this test is something for Red Bull to look at, but there's still the rest of the season with Toro Rosso to do, so I'll switch my focus back to that and won't get too caught up in any rumours," Ricciardo explained in a team statement.
His day was not as smooth as he would have liked though, making a mistake which saw him beach the RB9 in the gravel just seven laps into his first run.
"I had a small off but otherwise it was a trouble-free day. The off was my mistake, I just lost the rear on the entry. It was a good opportunity to get behind the wheel and experience two different beasts today."
Ricciardo will return to his duties with Toro Rosso for the rest of the season, with Red Bull expected to make an announcement regarding the second seat at some point over the summer.

text: Tim Cook is the first openly gay CEO of a Fortune 500 company. But apparently, this isn't news and it isn't important. I mean, except it might change attitudes to LGBT people in business, it might solidify corporate policies on equality and inclusion (which help all minorities). But none of that matters because straight people keep saying it doesn't matter and shouldn't be news.

To order this premade custom Bobblehead doll body and add your "bobbling" head, simply:
Material to sculpt with (Resin or Polymer clay)
Standard Resin Doll: Strong Material - can last a lifetime. This material is hand sculpted and baked during production. Once hardened, we hand paint the molded doll. Very fine detail is seen in resin. Our Resin dolls are made faster then polymer clay, so if you need the doll to be received less than 2 weeks, resin is the only material to choose. When wanting duplicate copies of your doll, you must use resin as we can remold exact copies..
Polymer upgrade: No paint used. Not as strong as resin. What this means is all the colors in your doll are actually the material at the final product. The white teeth would be white clay. Brown hair is brown clay. Due to the complexity in sculpting in this forum, we require that all orders selected in polymer clay are ordered with a minumum of 2-3 or more weeks timeline. If you are considering duplicate copies of the pieces (more than one of the same) we recommend using our resin.
For some samples of each material click here:
Free Proofing custom bobblehead dolls
We proudly offer FREE proofs in the different stages during the creation of your hand sculpted bobblehead doll (proofing requires a selected timeline of 2-3 weeks or longer. If less time is selected,we will provide interanl proofing only).
You will receive via email, photos of the progress of the bobblehead doll creation. We supply head proofs for approval and body proofs when choosing a full head to toe custom doll. Each step will be approved or modified. If a change is requested, we will amend the doll and provide a revised proof for approval. Once the proof is approved, we will proceed to the next step. Keep in mind, once approved we cannot move backwards in our process. If your time line is less than 2-3 weeks, we will create your doll and send it with no proofs.
Premade dolls vary in size but all are approx. 7" tall. On the order form, you can choose to make the dolls 9 or 12 inches.
Important About Image upload
EX. If you want the person to smile, the photo must dipict them smiling. Once we present the sculpt of the person from the primary photo, we will not accept additional photos to make changes. We will make amendments within the scope of the primary photo only. Requesting a new photo after the sculpt will result in additional charge (resculpting is necessary). Hair below the shoulders will result in less bobble action and is not recommended.
Shipping Options
During the checkout, our site will allow you to select the time you want the doll received in.

This week we look at the ChildSafety website…
ChildSafety is site that promotes high-quality infant child seats and strollers. The product they are currently promoting is the Britax B-AGILE Travel System.
What we like:
- ChildSafety is taking a somewhat unique approach by marketing one product at a time and doing with a single landing page designed to educate the customer about the product and, of course, sell the product.
- We really like the clean, streamlined look of the page with the Britax model's top attributes highlighted and accentuated with quality images and a demo video from Youtube.
- From a seller's perspective, the page offers "buy now" buttons throughout the page, which allows the buyer multiple opportunities to make a purchase.
- The site is clearly associated with Amazon so we know that any purchase is secure and backed by Amazon's purchase policies.
What we don't like:
- Though the page gives the highlights of the product, if we wanted more in-depth information we would have to leave the site, which defeats the purpose of this "landing page" style marketing site.
We like the cleanness of this single product site. Our only beef is that more product info may be needed before someone is willing to make a purchase.

The museum itself is interesting and the entrance fee acceptable. Unfortunately we came at the wrong time - the lady at the entrance must have had a bad day and we were dumbfounded at her rudeness. On the positive side we managed to attach ourself to a group who got a tour of the museum by a very friendly and...
Interesting exhibits of the Native Indians. The fee was around 10 CAD. There was a small gift shop. You should plan on less than an hour's time. If you are coming from The Cave and Basin, Birch Avenue is to the left as you're driving down Cave Avenue going towards Banff downtown.
Found this by accident whilst exploring Banff and were very glad we did. Spent a couple of hours wandering around and talking to a great guide who answered our questions and made the visit even more interesting. Some of the items could have done with clearer explanations but it is well worth visiting.
The price was about $10, which was worth it. The first room looked like it was going to be paintings but there were stuffed animals (like buffalo, horses, wolves, etc) and statues in settings like a teepee, hunting, ceremony, etc. There were also diaramas (sp?), clothing, weapons, tools and more on display.
The souvenirs were overpriced but there were some...
A few minutes walk from Downtown Banff, offers a glimpse of First Nations history. The place needs a little bit of improvement and could provide labels or descriptions on some artefacts.
A good place to spend an hour or two.
They also offer complimentary tea or coffee.
This museum isn't really covered in the guidebooks but it's an undiscovered little gem. We spent a couple of hours there one freezing day and we loved it. It was great to learn about the First Nations and some of the artefacts there are amazing. We'd definitely go back and the woman who runs it is charming!
I recently visited Banff and took the time to visit this Museum. The exhibits are extremely well put together and the collection of animals on display is amazing. I personally found the old photos and the historical write up's very interesting. The Museum covers the history of the area and it's tribes in a thorough manner and the staff are...
It is an interesting place for those who wants to see some history of native Indians rather than reading.
Place needs a renovation and more description.
I would recommend as it is few mins walk from almost anywhere in Banff.
Kind of tired displays but a nice pass of time if you have a bad weather day. Appears to need some building improvements to repair from the elements. Wanted to support as it benefits the Native Americans.
Very interesting place to visit especially to those who want to know how life and people were before colonisation. The daily life, the occupation, family life, religious festivals and rituals of the First Nation were well depicted in the shape of life size mannequins. It is in the walking distance to many hotels.

Absolutely no nudity. This is a children's animated show anyway.In one episode, Astrid is briefly seen kissing Hiccup.In one episode, Tuffnut makes a comment about Ruffnut's butt.In one episode, Fishlegs attempts to kiss Astrid. But Astrid makes a remark that nobody's gonna kiss her lips forever.
This animated series is mainly about dragons. In several episodes, at least one dragon tend to attack humans and other dragons. Sometimes humans fight dragons.Dragons can attack by breathing fire, spit acid, go on direct attack and bite, use their tails, etc.Weapons like sword, axes and spears are often seen.Words like "kill" or "get killed" can be heard sometimes being uttered by any character. "Blood" can rarely be heard in a few episodes. Also, references to having stuff like a head or the legs to be cut off are mentioned in some episodes.Characters tend to fall down from heighs, hit on each other, get hit by objects, get attacked by (even their own) dragons, etc. However, they appear to be completely fine in most circumstances, especially in scenes made for a laugh.Tuffnut and Ruffnut tend to hit on each other constantly many times they appear on screen. These scenes are mostly made for a laugh.Some house get burned or simply get destroyed in a few episodes, depending on circumstances.In some episodes, humans attack each other. These scenes are mostly pretty mild.In one episode there is a burning forest.
Words like "stupid" and "idiot" can be heart a few times in some episodes.
Some dragons may look scary, and can attack without warning. However, since this is a TV-PG rated children's animated show, children should have no problem watching it.

Learning Search Lessons From Pinocchio
Search Engine Guide
, Tuesday, December 30, 2008 12:15 PM
Jennifer Laycock begins to explore the lessons you can learn from the classic story "Pinocchio" with this post, which explores her Pinocchio Effect theory that "deep down, search engines want nothing more than to be real boys (or girls)." In other words, "search engines seek to replicate human judgment with their algorithm."
Laycock tells us why chasing down algorithms simply leaves you exhausted and suggests how to apply common sense solutions related to the Pinocchio Effect. In time, the process becomes increasingly clear. "Each and every adjustment made to the algorithms is designed to better judge a site the way a human being does," she writes. "It's essential to understand search engine friendly design techniques and to learn how to find out which keywords to target. Once you get the basics down, it's really about focusing on your customer and giving them the best experience possible."

Ol Tools for 21st Century Learners: 14 Resources for AppSmashing with ThingLink. In November I launched the ThingLink AppSmash Challenge to encourage educators to share great ways to combine two or more apps together to create, publish and share content using ThingLink as a presentation tool.
The goal of the challenge was to create resources to help educators discover new possibilities for teaching and learning with an iPad to better meet our teaching and learning needs. Why AppSmash? The iPad is a popular tool in classrooms today, but many apps are limited in functionality. As teachers become more comfortable with technology use they can begin to invent new ways to use the devices for learning. Explore a Collection of AppSmash Resources Please explore this collection of AppSmash Activities created by talented members of the ThingLink EDU community to discover new ways to combine the best features of favorite apps and facilitate student driven learning experiences through creativity, sharing and publishing.
SAGE Advice for New Teachers. I recently re-connected with a former 6th grade student of mine.
It felt like yesterday that she was in my classroom, but the reality is that this week, she's about to embark on her first student-teaching assignment. She asked me, "Mr. Wiley, what advice do you have for me?" It is Personal and Dangerous Now. 2013 has been an interesting year.

You think you know what teachers do. Right? Wrong.
