This excursion was better than we ever imagined. Our captain Paul was awesome. He was very knowledgeable and very thorough. We felt comfortable with everything we were going to be doing. We also liked that it was a small group. We are a family of 5 and we had one other passenger with us. We were able to swim with a pod of dolphins about 5 times. It was breathtaking. If you are thinking about booking this experience go for it. Well worth the price.Verified TripShock! Traveler Review

The best excursion of our vacation
I was in Destin with a friend and our kids for vacation late July. My daughter found this online and we booked a trip for Saturday afternoon. Captain Eddie was wonderful and the kids loved this the most of anything on our trip. Four hours for only 100.00 each person was very affordable. It was a small group, only four kids and the Captain. They saw dolphins right away and learned so much about the wildlife. We would definately do this again. It was so worth the drive to Panama City.Verified TripShock! Traveler Review

The trip itself was special and great. We got to see many dolphins. We had 6 people on the boat and we took turns to go swimming with the dolphins. We jumped into the water 4 times and saw dolphins 3 times. The trip was only 3 hours because of the weather. I wasn't happy about how the captain handled the problem but Tripshock helped me take care of that efficiently and got me $25 refund per person, which I think is reasonable. Great booking with Tripshock!Verified TripShock! Traveler Review

It was one of the most awesome experiences of my life. If I had a bucket list I would cross this off my list. Captain Eddy and the marine biologist Bethany were very professional, educational, and fun. I had one of the closest encounters with wild dolphins on the ship and the captain and marine biologist both said that was a once in a lifetime experience. One literally jumped out of the water maybe 2 feet from my back and 7 dolphins (pod) swam right under me. I know this is a lengthy review but I am still just such in shock and amazed. If there was a higher rating I would give it to them - it was an experience I will never forget. I highly recommend this excursion. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

This was the best experience my family and I have ever had and we do quite a few awesome things! The captain and his helper were amazing! It was so cool to be in a small environment and have a one on one experience with the ocean and my family. We got to actually swim with dolphins multiple times, hunt for hermit crabs, see a sunken ship, and swim in the clearest water ever. The captain showed us different wild life throughout the day and again, we actually swam with dolphins in their natural habitat! It was awesome!Verified TripShock! Traveler Review

I have to admit, I had never been to Panama City Beach nor had I ever booked through Trip Shock or done a Dolphin swim...but the one thing I knew is we wanted to swim with the Dolphins and I researched the heck out of that and all our options. Any questions I had from a comparison of offers in PCB Tripshock had answers, they were courteous and quick. We chose Waterplanet USA and I was absolutely blown away. Hands DOWN they are the best and I highly recommend Dennis (Owner) and Rosanne (Our Captain) the knowledge, the respect for their guests and the wildlife can not be beat. I highly recommend their dolphin swim and booking through Tripshock. And for the record, do NOT book the Screamer...we saw how their swim was...they throw out buoys, put you in a life vest and you hang on and drift... read moreVerified TripShock! Traveler Review

I do have two pst life memories.
What I left out of my book is just some very basic background information that people want to know when they read my story.
My background is very simple, I was born on July 17 1970 or so they say, in the city of Glendale California. I grew up in a house located at 2727 Manning avenue in Los Angeles. I went to West Los Angeles college and transfered to Cal state Northridge where I graduated with a bachelors of Science degree in Business administration, with an option in Accounting...I...I what?

The Vital C Hydrating Anti-Aging Serum, like many of the other formulas in IMAGES Skincare's Vital C collection, is a frustrating product. The formula contains an array of antioxidants, cell-communicating ingredients, and skin-repairing ingredients. Unfortunately, a stiff dose of the fragrant mandarin orange (Citrus nobilis) peel oil is also on hand, keeping this otherwise stellar formula from earning our top rating.
Research has shown that the fragrance components (limonene and geraniol) in the orange oil this product contains have a strong potential to provoke an allergenic and irritant response on the skin (Sources: Contact Dermatitis, 2006 and 2012). The damaging impact of this type of inflammation in skin will fight against the anti-aging goals you are trying to reach when using a product like this. See More Info for additional details on fragrance in skin-care products.
Instead of this product, consider any of the better-formulated alternatives in Beautypedia's list of Best Serums. Each of the recommended serums from these brands contains a skin-friendly mix of antioxidants, cell-communicating ingredients, and skin-repairing ingredients—and none share the fragrant shortcoming of Vital C Hydrating Anti-Aging Serum.
Irritation from Fragrance: Daily use of products that contain a high amount of fragrance, whether the fragrant ingredients are synthetic or natural, causes chronic irritation that can damage healthy collagen production, lead to or worsen dryness, and impair your skin's ability to heal. Fragrance-free is the best way to go for all skin types. If fragrance in your skin-care products is important to you, it should be a very low amount to minimize the risk to your skin (Sources: Inflammation Research, December 2008, pages 558–563; Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, June 2008, pages 124–135, and November-December 2000, pages 358–371; Journal of Investigative Dermatology, April 2008, pages 15–19; Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, March 2008, pages 78–82; Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, January 2007, pages 92–105; and British Journal of Dermatology, December 2005, pages S13–S22).

Image Vital C Serum
By Donna Edwards
from undisclosed
I find it surprising that you would say all skin needs the same ingredients to stay young - that is not at all the case. My skin is aging, and after having a facial at a reputable spa, this and other Image products were recommended for my skin based on its needs. I didn't realize that my issue was a lack of oil and over -exfoliation until I consulted an expert. Now that I have used this and other Vital C products for a month my skin is 100% improved. BTW, I love the fragrance.
Not worth your money
By Anonymous
I'm truly disappointed this serum had no effect on my face. It's so frustrating to see that it has worked wonderfully on other people. It does last a long time and it smells nice. But other than that I regret throwing my money on this serum.
Life saver
By Carola, G
I've been using the Vital C serum for 4 month now and it is an absolute life saver for my dry Rosacea skin. I have tried and tested around 30 product in the past 2 years since I got diagnosed and this is the one that works by far best for me. It won't cure Rosacea but it has transformed my flaky and itchy skin. A small amount of the serum leaves my skin moisturised and less sensitive, I can much better tolerate the Azelaic Acid gel now which I use to keep the Rosacea controlled.
This Vitamin C serum minimizes and soothes the effects of environmentally damaged skin. Vitamins A, C and E and anti-oxidants nourish the skin to create radiant youthful skin.

Strengths: All of the sunscreens provide broad-spectrum protection; many of the formulas include a good array of antioxidants and cell-communicating agents; some products are packaged to protect their air- and light-sensitive ingredients; most products reasonably priced.
Weaknesses: Many of the non-SPF moisturizers are packaged in jars; nearly every product contains at least one fragrance ingredient that can be a source of irritation; overly fragranced products where the scent lingers on the skin and emanates from the container like potpourri; problematic anti-acne line; inconsistent or incomplete ingredient lists; few options for sensitive skin; outlandish marketing claims.
IMAGE Skincare, a brand operated out of West Palm Beach, Florida, focuses on the concept of "pharmaceutical grade" skin-care products (more on that in a moment). Developed by its president and CEO, Janna Robert, IMAGE Skincare is distributed in spas and dermatology offices. However, it can also be found on retail websites like Amazon (despite the company's claim that these aren't approved retailers).
The IMAGE Skincare approach promotes the concept that those of a certain age should use a certain line of products—a visit to their website's product recommendation page has their five collections categorized by age range, which is a silly concept.
Here's why that approach makes for poor skin care: Simply put, age is not a skin type—the types of ingredients skin needs to stay healthy and act younger are the same whether you're 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50 years old, or beyond. Just as a healthy diet doesn't change as you age, the same is true for skin care. What skin needs to be healthy does not change with age.
To underscore this fact, IMAGE Skincare's recommendations are virtually identical, no matter which age range you select. Interestingly, their age ranges are grouped into three categories: 1–18 (OK, … a 1-year-old? How bizarre is that! A baby is supposed to have a skin-care routine?); 19–35; and then..."36+."
Someone over the age of 40 (all the way to those over 65) can have oily skin and breakouts, and teens can have dry, sun-damaged skin. Research shows that the same ingredients are needed to improve and heal the problem, regardless of age. Relating age to skin care is just silly!
IMAGE Skincare defines their "aging later" approach to mean that if you want to delay the signs of aging, you need to give skin more of what it needs to stay healthier, longer. That includes their recommendation of regular use of AHA/BHA exfoliants, formulas loaded with antioxidants and cell-communicating ingredients, as well as wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day.
We absolutely agree with those points—anti-aging is about taking care of your skin, keeping it protected from environmental harms (i.e., unprotected sun exposure and pollution), and ensuring that all of your products are loaded with beneficial ingredients, no matter your age. Their list of recommendations should also include using products that are free of irritants; that is, ingredients that have documented research indicating their potential to harm skin by causing inflammation and free-radical damage.
Unfortunately, that latter point is where many of IMAGE Skincare's products veer off the mark. For all their claims of including only what's best for the skin, we were disappointed to find that almost all of their products contain at least one irritating fragrance extract or essential oil (some IMAGE Skincare products are overloaded with them), and the fragrance is often overwhelming, lingering on the skin and wafting from the container immediately on opening.
On a side note, the intense fragrance of many of their products makes us skeptical of their ingredient lists—they don't list what could be causing the perfume-like, sickly sweet odor. Fragrance, whether natural or synthetic, is a problem for the skin because of the irritations it can cause.
What about their claim of offering "pharmaceutical grade" ingredients and formulas? When a brand uses the term "pharmaceutical" in describing their products, they're trying to invoke the idea that their formulas are somehow different or "stronger" than those you can find anywhere else. This is nothing more than marketing wordplay—there are no (repeat, no) pharmaceutical-grade skin-care products because the term is not regulated by the FDA, so there is no standard or meaning to the claim. Just as the words "cosmeceutical" and "hypoallergenic" are meaningless, "pharmaceutical grade" is as well.
What matters is that the ingredients they include have published, peer-reviewed research and that your products conform to the safety guidelines and standards set forth in the FDA's labeling regulatory requirements (or international regulatory bodies, if you're outside the United States).
Strangely enough, it was challenging to find accurate ingredient lists for IMAGE Skincare. In some instances, the list on the packaging was incomplete and/or very different from the ingredient list found online (even from "approved" resellers allegedly using information supplied by IMAGE). We are reluctant to trust any company that can't get this simple regulation right; think about buying food at the grocery store that didn't have a label listing everything that was in it.
For example, IMAGE Skincare's Prevention + Daily Matte Moisturizer Oil Free SPF 30+ claims to contain microsponge technology (absorbent polymers that help to control excess oil), and yet the product packaging doesn't list any such ingredients. And, in the case of one of their anti-acne treatments, the combined use of the two active ingredients falls outside of FDA guidelines for anti-acne products (Source: FDA 21 CFR 333.310, 2014).
In the end, some of the products IMAGE Skincare offers are (possibly) worth looking into, but overall we were disappointed in the brand because so many of their formulas, including those of some otherwise impressive products, contained an excess of fragrance, made outlandish marketing claims, and had an abundance of ingredient misinformation wrapped in "pharmaceutical-grade" pseudoscience. We prefer science based in reality—everything else is just hype, and hype is not the way to take the best possible care of your skin… at any age!

(I can promise you) Things will be different
I've been trying to sweeten up all of this bitterness
I keep from going crazy, I keep from staying still
I closed the door to memories that come and haunt me still
nothing's getting done, holding on angry and jaded
I have come full circle growing more and more frustrated
send me down to hell before I get much older
what about the heartbreakers, meat eaters, and voters?
every bridge I built was set to burn right from the start
I'll walk alone, and heroes, better off with faith in god
extinct, extinct, extinct
so disgusted, totally fucked
we're shaking trees for the chance that some food will drop

I hate that they called her Hilda. Other than that I loved her character design. There's nothing all too different about it from the others, other than the fact that it could seem to be more iffy simply because she's 17-ish and not 10. Seems worse to me to have Misty dress the way she did, considering her age.

Health department urges precautions against mosquitoes
BURLINGTON The Vermont Health Department is urging people to take precautions against mosquito-borne illnesses by avoiding bites that can spread illnesses such as eastern equine encephalitis or West Nile virus.
Human illnesses from mosquito-borne illnesses are rare, but last year two Vermonters died of EEE and three were sickened with West Nile.
Some suggestions from the health department include, when possible, wearing long sleeves and pants and avoiding outdoor activities at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active.
People should reduce mosquito breeding habitats by getting rid of standing water, such as in rain gutters, wading pools and old tires.
And people who are outside when mosquitoes are biting should use an effective insect repellent that has been deemed safe by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.MORE IN This Just In

Reserved seats are sold out, but a limited amount of tickets will be sold at the door for $30 ($25 for J Members). The show begins at 7 p.m. so show up early if you're looking for tickets.

The group walk begins on the West Grove of Fountain Square (pets are not allowed on the actual square) at 5:30 p.m. and will continue on various routes, where participants will break into groups to saunter across the city. Everyone will re-group at Smale Riverfront Park at 7 p.m. Make sure your dog is healthy, at least 6 months old, up-to-date on vaccinations and good-natured (the same should probably go for owners). Meet up at Neon's Unplugged, the pooch-friendly bar in OTR, for an after-party 'til 9 p.m.
E.A.T.S. (Epicureans About Town Society) hosts a Subterranean Picnic Party at

Ricky, Julian and Bubbles, better known as the Trailer Park Boys, come to Madison Theater tonight. The Canadian mockumentary-style comedy series makes a fun transition to stage with the "Community Service Variety Show." If last year's live show was any indication, expect more skits, audience participation and white trash goodness than you can throw a rum and Coke at (and you know Julian will have plenty of those). The show is sold out, so try your luck with the fine scalpers of Covington!
This American Life went live last
Thursday, broadcasting the show in theaters across the U.S. and Australia. The show featured its standard true storytelling format, but with ample
visual components. In addition to anecdotes from David Sedaris, Tig Notaro and
others, there were also dance performances, an NPR-inspired short film from Mike
Birbiglia and an interactive performance by OK GO. If this sounds amazing (which it was) and you missed out, you're in luck! The broadcast will screen again tonight in several area theaters.
Pro Tip: Download this free app
before you go — the TAL crew pulled some strings to allow audiences to use
their phones at one point in the performance. Go here to find nearby theaters. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are $20 (more than a 3D movie, but way less crappy).
Northside Tavern hosts a fundraiser for End Slavery Cincinnati tonight from 5-10 p.m. Learn about human trafficking in the country and right here in Cincinnati, and what you can do to help raise awareness and bring it to an end. from 5-10 p.m. Enjoy live music from The Flavor Junkies and Wild Mountain Berries, door prizes and treats, for a great cause. Admission is $5 at the door.
Know Theater welcomes two local comedy groups onstage tonight. Underbelly Comedy and Off the Rocks Improv team up for a "Little Big Night" of laughs. There will be stand-up, improv, sketch comedy and more from some of the city's truly talented performers. Five bucks gets you a seat and a beer! What more could you possibly want? Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show begins at 8 p.m.
Check our our To Do page for more productions, exhibits and events every day and follow our music blog for nightly live shows.
Today is also the kick-off of American Craft Beer Week. That's a thing! Cincinnati has a rich brewing history, so it's no surprise that local watering holes are celebrating the creation and consumption of delicious craft beer. Tonight, Arnold's taps Bell's Third Coast Ale — one of two fifth-barrels in the entire city. Find Arnold's full ACBW schedule here.
The Crazy Fox in Newport hosts open mic and all-night happy hour every Monday. All musicians are welcome to perform in a friendly atmosphere, beginning at 8:30 p.m. The Seedy Seeds' Margaret Darling guest hosts this week.
It's Only A Day Away
Tomorrow, Northside Tavern hosts a fundraiser for End Slavery Cincinnati. Help raise awareness about human trafficking in the country and right here in Cincinnati from 5-10 p.m. There will be live music from The Flavor Junkies and Wild Mountain Berries, door prizes and more, for $5 at the door.
This American Life presented a live cinema event last Thursday that featured its standard true storytelling format, but with ample visual elements. In addition to anecdotes from David Sedaris, Tig Notaro and others, there were also dance performances, a hilarious short film from Mike Birbiglia and an interactive performance by OK GO. The theater in Newport where I watched the show was far too empty — I found the show more entertaining than any movie in theaters right now! Those who missed out have another chance to check out the program in theaters Tuesday. Sure, it will be a recording of the live show, but the charm and excitement of the live format will surely shine through. Without spoiling anything, the stories they were able to assemble were killer: laugh-out-loud, misty-eyed, thought-provoking TAL goodness.
Be sure to download this free app before you go — the TAL crew pulled some strings to allow audiences to use their phones at one point in the performance. Go here to find nearby theaters screening the show tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. Can I gush any more? No. It's worth the $20 ticket. Please go.
Ricky, Julian and Bubbles bring the trailer park to town for
a night tomorrow! For those unfamiliar, Trailer Park Boys is a Canadian
mockumentary-style comedy series and movies that has developed a
cult following over the past decade. It's white trash hilarity at its finest.
If last year's live show was any indication, Tuesday's "Community Service Variety
Show" is sure to bring the LOLs. Buy tickets here.
Four Entertainment Group (4EG) is the driving force behind nine of the most popular bars and restaurants in the area. While it would be difficult to drink at each location in one night (and possibly damaging to the liver), 4EG is bringing all of their venues to Fountain Square tonight. Try specialty cocktails, beers, wine and signature dishes from aliveOne, Keystone Hyde Park, Keystone Covington, The Lackman, The Stand, Mount Adams Pavilion, The Righteous Room, The Sandbar and Tap & Go as you get down to music from DJ Matt Joy and Bad Veins. Head down to the square from 5-10 p.m. and if you're on Foursquare, be sure to check in — the mayor of these venues will receive a prize.
On second Saturdays, Northside is the place to be. Celebrate the eclectic neighborhood and support local businesses by visiting some of the dozens of participating galleries, shops, restaurants and bars. Visitors will enjoy extended hours, drink and food specials, sales and unique promotions at places like Nvision, Mayday, Take the Cake, C&D, Tantrum, Skincraft and many more. Find a full list of participating businesses here.

It's just a little better than an average season in OU's football history. It's worse than Chuck Fairbanks' average season. Do you remember the "Chuck Chuck" movement? I do. A few more 10-3 seasons and Bob Stoops will have a lower winning percentage than Chuck did at OU. Sooner fans may have unrealistic expectations, but so it goes. They make their donations, they buy their tickets, they show up with 82,000+ every home game, they travel to away games and bowl games, and they expect something better than losing to a less-talented K-State team and being blown out by Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl. kentwhitwerth on Feb 15, 2013 @ 6:19 am Another masterpiece - not !!! What did you genius writers think would happen ?? All the hell Stoops caught for finshing 10 - 3 from the media and bandwagon fans and a couple of guys who played 30 years ago . Even Jenni should have smarts enough to figure it out - public opinion is swayed by the media - this very paper was HUGE in getting Barry Switzer run off. And please with throwing "all Sooner fans " into the same barrel. Some of us are smart enough to know 10 - 3 is a pretty damn good year. All you scribes seemed shocked , LMAO that someone got fired .

Kappa Sigma Spring Parents' Weekends 2015
Dear Tau Alumni, Parents, & Actives,
This year marks the start of a new tradition for the Parents' Association. In years past, Spring Parents' Weekend was a single weekend event for both moms and dads of Tau Chapter actives. This year, moms and dads got their own special Kappa Sigma weekend to spend with their sons.
Mother-Son Weekend
Tau Chapter moms and sons gathered in Austin February 27 - March 1 to celebrate Mother-Son Weekend, deemed as a huge success by all who attended in spite of the chilly weather. On Friday night, mothers and sons gathered at the Kappa Sigma Lodge for a wine tasting presented by Fall Creek Vineyards, with light bites prepared and served by Tau Chapter's Chef Ryan. Kappa Sigma parent Michelle Guenther put together a wonderful senior slideshow, starting what we hope will be another great tradition.
On Saturday morning, Linda Williams and the Austin area moms hosted a brunch for the Kappa Sigma mothers at Linda's home. Elizabeth Horne and Leigh Stubbs shared their insight on the spirit and legacy of Kappa Sigma and Bob Ellis and Hagen McMahon shared exciting information about the new Chapter House. We were thrilled to hear about the progress and see the proposed site plans, elevations, and floor plans.
Wendy Askew, Lisa Colbert,
and Parents' Association Co-Presidents Heidi Black, and Jill Parsley.
On Sunday morning, mothers and sons met at Benji's Cantina on Sixth Street for a spectacular brunch and more quality mother-son time.
Many thanks to Mother-Son Weekend chairs Marian Cisarik and Dawnelle Doughtie for making the inaugural event such an enjoyable and memorable weekend. We're glad so many moms could join their sons in Austin!
Father-Son Weekend
Barrett Black '12, Steve Black, John Parsley, Will Parsley'12,
Joe Galati, and Joseph Galati '12.
Tau Chapter fathers and sons celebrated their special weekend on April 17 and 18 in Austin.
On Friday, a number of dads and sons played in the Tau Open Golf Tournament at Lakeway Country Club, with many non-golfing dads and sons joining the golfers for the tournament dinner that evening.
The golf tournament continued on Saturday for many, while another group of dadsand sons headed over to Capitol City Trap and Skeet Club for a fun round of sporting clays. On Saturday evening, Father-Son Weekend Chairs Bob and Gretchen Ellis hosted a wonderful dinner and party at their beautiful home. It was a fun weekend for everyone! Thanks so much, Bob and Gretchen, for organizing this fabulous and fun-filled weekend.
We wish all of you a safe and happy summer.

Issac watched as C.J.'s pokemon stopped the embers from coming.
Those magby.. I kind of feel bad for them. Would be gone for if he wasn't here, though. Just wish there was a better way to keep them at bay..
As Grotle's solarbeam became fully charged, the Magby disappeared from the sandstorm completely, reappearing in front of Grotle and hitting him back.
"No.. a faint attack. Quick! Hit your solarbeam before he decid
to blast you."
"Grrrooot!" He yelled as he released the beam into the Magby who jumped away a second too late.
"Beee.." He screamed as he took the impact, hitting the ground afterwards.
Issac grabbed one of the pokeballs C.J. gave him earlier, throwing it at the injured Magby.
One shake.. two shakes.. three shakes..
"Yes!" Issac called out as the pokeball quit shaking and the Magby was caught. "Good job Trunks!"
He then turned to C.J. "You can release them now. They will flee without their leader." Issac looked down at the pokeball in his hand.. "Now then.. What to call you.."

Classroom Activities
Classroom Ideas for the Oregon Trail
Dear Teachers,
You may find the information in the End of the Oregon Trail section useful in your classroom, particularly for the following classroom activities. It can be found in the History Library. Feel free to copy any information from the History Library, as long as it is being used for educational purposes.
We'd love to hear from you. Please take a moment and respond to our survey. Also, if you have Oregon Trail related activities that have worked well in your classroom, please email them to the Education Coordinator for possible inclusion in our list. For any other questions or suggestions please EMAIL US and enjoy teaching the Oregon Trail!
Research Activities
• Have students research jumping-off towns (examples are St. Joseph, Independence, Council Bluffs). What were the benefits to specific towns? What role did they play in westward expansion and why did some towns lose popularity? Many of the towns are discussed in "Did the Oregon Trail Start Here" on our web site.
• Have students work in pairs or small groups to research different locations along the trail (key landmarks, rock formations, cutoffs, mountain crossings, forts, rivers, etc.) Once the students become experts at their topics, they can create a visual aid that includes their findings which can be shared with the class. Have students share their locations in the order that the pioneers would have seen them. As locations are being researched and presented, the class can create their own Oregon Trail map which shows the specific locations. Students could also consider the time of year the pioneers would have passed the various locations and the weather conditions they might have experienced.
• Have students research some of the reasons the emigrants had for traveling the trail. Have a class discussion in which students decide whether they would have made the journey.
• Assign roles of the family to class members and have them research what their role on the trail would have been. Possible roles could be mothers, fathers, eldest sons, eldest daughters, and hired hands. Each member of the family had very specific tasks. Perhaps the students could join together (all the mothers could work together, for example) to research the roles of their particular individual. They could present their findings with a visual aid to the class so that all students would learn from each other. Additionally, students could also have an occupation. A father might also be a doctor or a blacksmith. A mother might be a teacher or midwife. Students could discuss whether their assigned occupation was vital to their wagon train.
• Students could research how the trail and life in the West altered traditional gender roles. (Consider that western states granted women's suffrage before eastern states).
• Ask students who had the hardest jobs: Men, women, or children. Have them read journals and diaries to come to their conclusion.
• Ask students how the Exclusion Laws effected the migration west.
• During the main migration, many issues were dividing the country (slavery, states' rights, equality for different people groups, temperance movement). Have students consider and discuss the polarized nation and compare it to the cooperative nature of the Oregon Trail. Regardless of political or cultural background, pioneers often depended on the others in their wagon train to help them survive the journey. Sometimes, however, differences were too big to overcome. Frequently wagon trains divided over traveling on the Sabbath.
Primary Source Activities
• Have students read and analyze journals, diary entries, reminiscences, and quotes. (There are several on our web site). As they analyze the information, have students look for and write about:
- Common struggles and challenges faced by pioneers
- Details noted in the entries/ quotes (weather, road conditions, landmarks, crossing rivers etc.) Compare and contrast the writings- did the pioneers focus on similar or different details in their writings?
- What types of emotions do the Pioneers describe in their entries?
- Roles of men and women. How did the daily activities of men and women differ? Compare those roles to the modern day United States.
- Have students write about the differences between journals, diaries, and reminiscences. How might these differences change the story being told?
Creative Writing Projects
• Have students read journals/ diaries/ quotes then:
- Pretend they are pioneers on the trail or in Oregon and writing letters back home to family/ friends who did not make the journey. Challenge them to keep the same tone as the entries they've read. Students could talk about key experiences and imagine how they might describe the journey to those who stayed home.
- Keep their own journals as if they are travelers on the trail. They could imagine the best and worst experiences on the trail and write about them, or mention their hopes and fears, their reasons for leaving, who they are traveling with, etc.
- Remember a time when they moved through creating a journal of that time period in which they remember what was difficult, exciting, scary, etc.
Oregon Trail Art
• The pioneers often used rock formations on the Trail as an opportunity to leave their mark. Have students study some of these rock formations (Register Rock, Chimney Rock, Independence Rock, Register Cliff), then consider what they might carve if they wanted to leave their mark. Give students an opportunity to make their carving- have a class carving or individual student carvings using clay. If the class does just one carving, students could do a rubbing of their section so they have a take home item.
• Pioneers often used their journals as an opportunity for art. Because cameras on the Trail were scarce, emigrants sketched their impression of rock formations, river crossings etc. If students are creating an Oregon Trail journal, have them include drawings of their choice of locations along the Trail.
• In the 1840's photographs were sometimes quite expensive. An alternative many people found was silhouettes. Rather than having a picture taken of themselves or their loved one, people would have a silhouette created. In order to make the silhouette, a shadow of the subject was cast on the wall by a candle. Using an overhead projector, or some other means, create shadows of students and have them work with a partner taking turns to complete their drawings of each other.
Math Related Activities
• Wagon Wheel Rotation- The Oregon Trail is about 2000 miles long. The circumference of an average rear wagon wheel is 13 feet. Knowing that there are 5280 feet in a mile, how many times would the wagon wheel turn in order for the wagon to travel one mile? How many times would it turn in the 2000 mile journey? How could pioneers use the same knowledge to measure the speed and distance they traveled in one day?
• Have students research the number of lumens put off by a candle. Then have them compare that to the number of lumens put off by a 25 watt bulb and figure out how many candles are needed for the equivalent light. This should give students a good idea of the limited light most the pioneers dealt with.
• Using the "Oregon Trail Generation Timeline" from the web site, have students graph the population that came west from 1841-1866. After making their chart (or several charts if they want to practice different types) have them analyze the information using their knowledge of U.S. History. What factors might have influenced the pioneer population? What impact did the Civil War have on westward migration, etc.
• Elevations of the Trail- Have students chart the elevation changes on the Oregon Trail. To do this, they will need to pick several key points along the Trail, and then research the elevations of those locations. After obtaining the information, they can chart their findings to further illustrate the arduous journey of the Oregon Trail pioneers. An additional research question might be how elevation effected baking and what the pioneers had to sometimes to do adjust their cooking at elevation.
Activities Related to Native American Information
Teachers may find "Disrupting the Natives" on the web site as a useful tool for Native discussion.
• Have the class make a myth vs. reality chart for Native American involvement with pioneers on the Oregon Trail. Show pioneer perception of Natives vs. what really happened on the Trail.
• Many Native Americans saw the Oregon Trail as a business opportunity. Have students brainstorm how Natives might have interacted with the pioneers to benefit themselves and their tribes (wagon repair, ferry services, trade etc.)
Hands-On Activities
• Make buzz-saws (pioneer toys) from large buttons and string.
• Make hardtack.
You will need 2 cups ground flour, 1 cup water
Combine the flour and water. On a floured surface roll the dough flat until it is ¼ inch thick. Cut out with a can 3-4" in diameter. Poke holes into each piece with a fork. Place on a floured cookie sheet. It should come out hard and dry. Cook in a hot oven 35-40 minutes. Yield: 12-15 pieces.
• Make butter: To do this you can use small mason jars partially filled with heavy whipping cream. Students can take turns shaking the jars until they have butter. This basically does the same thing as a butter churn without the expense of the churn. Putting a marble in the cream makes the process go faster. Spreading the butter onto soda crackers works well, if your school allows students to eat the butter and crackers. If possible, purchase the soda crackers with the 13-hole pattern. Some original hardtack had 13 holes to represent the 13 original colonies.
• Use a washboard and a bucket and have students try washing clothes.
• Use a washboard to remove corn from the cob. Try grinding corn for cornmeal.
• Make rag dolls or corn husk dolls.
• In our show we talk about how the emigrants sometimes got their water from buffalo ponds (sometimes called "buffalo wallows"). The water from these ponds had to be strained to remove the "squiggly things." Sometimes, if they didn't strain it well enough, they'd end up straining it with their teeth and then wiping the bugs away. Maybe students could get a sense of this by drinking water with poppy seeds or loose tea.
• Use crock pots of paraffin wax and buckets of cold water to dip candles. The dipping into each substance alternatively should be somewhat rapid and done at a consistent speed. The cold water between the wax dipping helps to cool the wax so that it can build layer upon layer. Keep the wax warm enough to be in liquid form, but not so warm that it boils. If you have trouble getting candles to form, you may need to turn the temperature down a bit. Wick and paraffin wax can be purchased a craft store.
• Tape an outline of a wagon box on the floor. (Prairie Schooners or farm wagons were 10-12 feet long, 3-4 feet wide, and 2-3 feet deep.) The outline would give students an idea of how little space the pioneers had to work with. Then have a discussion about what they would need to take and what they would have to leave behind. Use "Provisions for the Trail" and/ or "Outfitting for the Trail" on the CHP website for a suggested list of items that may have been taken. Or, check in Trail Guidebooks for another reference.
- Ask students what small keepsakes they would have taken? What larger items which would be left behind would they most miss?
- Students could research what types of items were available in different locations (jumping off towns, forts, settlement areas such as Oregon City). For example, did pioneers need to travel with farming implements or could they be purchased in the West?
- Students could brainstorm how extra items might have been included through creative packing. Sometimes large pockets were sewn into the inside of the wagon bonnet for storage; china was carried inside containers of cornmeal; one woman layered herself with five dresses so that she would not have to leave any of them behind.

|Patent application number
|METHOD, SENSOR UNIT AND MACHINE FOR DETECTING "SUGAR TOP" DEFECTS IN POTATOES - The invention relates to a method, a sensor unit and a machine for detecting "sugar end" defects in potatoes. The method comprises irradiating potatoes with at least one light source, for a plurality of locus points on each potato, wherein locus points lie on the end regions of the potato and other locus points lie in a central region of the potato. The light reflected from and/or transmitted through the respective locus points is selectively projected onto at least one photo sensor which generates light measurement signals for each locus point from the received light. At least one classification feature is determined from the light measurement signals. If at least one classification feature corresponds to a predefined "sugar end" criterion the respective potato is classified as having "sugar end" defects.
|METHOD FOR OPTICALLY DETECTING MOVING OBJECTS - A process for the optical detection of objects moved at a conveying speed. The process comprises illuminating the object in a temporally consecutive manner with a sequence of at least two light pulses of different colors and taking images of the object during each light pulse with a monochromatic optical area sensor comprising many sensor lines. The process comprises reading out and temporarily storing at least as many lines of each image as there are different colors of the light pulses. The read-out lines have a line pitch relative to each other. Sequentially combining lines from images taken under illumination by different colors to form color lines, with the lines combined with each other having the aforesaid line pitch or a multiple thereof relative to each other when they are being read out, and assembling the color lines into an overall color picture.
