Happy Monday! We're recovering from a 4 day weekend. We flew to Texas to visit one of my girlfriends who just had her second baby. I thought I would never come down with baby fever again after having Zano…there's just something about a newborn! And I'm happy to report, flying with an 18 month old wasn't too terrible.
The days leading up to a holiday are always the best. Commuter traffic is light, my house is clean, I'm mentally on vacation for a couple days before actually taking vacation.. it's fun! Another reason I love the holiday season, as a blogger, is I usually participate in some fun giveaways! Today I'm sharing two exciting giveaways!
A group of 20 bloggers and myself are giving away $1000 gift card to Target to one lucky winner! Head on over to my Instagram and follow the instructions to get entered!
The second giveaway happening right now is over on Lauren McMullen's feed. Lauren is giving away $175 to The Vintage Rug Shop! YEAH BUDDY! One lucky winner will win $175 to spend on rugs, throws, or the ever-fast-selling pillows!
I encourage you to enter, as these giveaways are pretty exciting! Of course I'm biased since they include me, but hey, who wouldn't die if they won $1000 to Target???
Hope you're having a great Monday!
Back to School Hack

- In baby time, DIY, giveaway

In the spirit of back to school, I've partnered with Porch, Wayfair & Lonny to bring you a fun project that will help ease your kiddo's transition from summer to the classroom. Search the hashtag on social media #back2schoolhacks to see what others have done! I remember as a kid, it was always crucial to stay organized from day one, and this project is perfect to encourage your little one to stay organized, and have fun while doing homework.
I created a cozy homework corner, and turned a toy cubby into a mid century inspired book & toy organizer by adding mid century table legs to the bottom. Zano isn't quite school age, but he likes to "read" lots of books and lay on his belly and draw pictures in a note pad. I imagine him growing into this corner, reading chapter books and doing math problems, although it makes me teary thinking about it!
And SURPRISE! There is a giveaway involved! A lucky reader will win $500 gift card to Wayfair AND $500 worth of cleaning services from Porch!
How to enter:
- Follow Porch, Wayfair and Lonny on Instagram and
- Tag 2 friends in the comments on our photo to join in on the challenge!
The giveaway ends September 14th at Midnight. Winner will be announced on September 14th via social media.
I have to thank Wayfair for offering the play tent and cubby, and Porch for organizing this back to school event! Search the hashtag on social media #back2schoolhack to see what other bloggers have done!
This project was in partnership with Porch, Wayfair, & Lonny online magazine.

If you're new here, welcome! You're in for a real treat today! You're about to see the ugly side of my house……..
I think it's been like, what? 7 months since we began the 'phase 1' of our renovation? We removed walls and renovated the kitchen last fall, and I should add – all the while living IN the house during the renovation, and with a 5 month old baby! Note to self – don't do that again… Well, now the kid is 10 months old, and we're finally embarking on 'phase 2' – Floors!!!
Just looking at this photo makes me laugh. The obvious divide of old & new is hilarious. I took this photo just after we ripped up the carpet. And when I say 'we', I mean my husband and our contractor. I was playing with the baby.
After months of research, discussions, and more research, we've finally figured out what we're going do with the floors! I'm so excited, it's all coming together and don't you worry, I will definitely share every possible detail.
Happy Monday! And PS! If your name is Melissa Hansson, check your email! You won the PrettyPegs giveaway!

Artfully Walls Kids Boutique & a Giveaway!
- on November 11, 2014
- By brittanyMakes
- In ART, giveaway
- 34
I would argue one of the major challenges in interior design is art. By 'art' I literally mean everything art-related: framing art, hanging art, selecting art, curating art, DIYing art – all of it. It's a tricky thing, and without the right talent or skill, it can go wrong so fast.
Just think about this, there are folks who pay thousands in tuition to learn the skills of curating art! It's not a simple skill to learn, and yes just like anything there are a lucky few who have a natural talent of designing said art spaces, however for the average joe it can be quite a challenge.
Artfully Walls founders recognized the challenges and pains we all feel when designing a wall gallery and sought to find a solution. They are a company that fully focuses on two things: creating the perfect gallery wall and providing the tools to make that happen. With a little bit of code (aka magic) and a lot of ingenuity, Artfully Walls created two incredible design tools: the Wall Designer the free Try on Wall mobile app. You use the Wall Designer to help curate the perfect wall gallery using prints and canvases from their shop. The mobile app is an easy and free tool to see how art will look on your wall. It's like trying on clothes, but for your wall!
So, besides singing praises for Artfully Walls, I'm actually here today to spread the news about the launch of their new Kids Boutique!
Hanging art in your nursery is like spreading jam on your toast, sure you can eat toast without jam but it will be dry and unappetizing and leave you unsatisfied, just like a nursery without art. Like jam smothered toast, a nursery is just that much tastier with art on the walls!
I've got a hint of a woodland theme going on in Zano's nursery, so when I saw this Hare print by Moran Pinchas, I just had to have it. I love that it's hand drawn in black and white, it's whimsical and modern all at once.
SO! In celebration of the Artfully Walls Kids Boutique launch, we're giving away 2 (read: TWO!) art prints to one lucky reader. And in case you're worried about entering, the art prints are not limited to the kids boutique. The winner can select any 2 art prints offered on the website!
To enter, leave a comment below mentioning at least one of the prints from Artfully Walls you would select if you won the giveaway, then tell me where you would hang it! Bonus entries if you follow Artfully Walls on Twitter and "like" them on Facebook 🙂

Happy Tuesday friends! Today's a great day because I get to introduce you to a new online home decor resource, PlaidFox! PlaidFox is a Canadian home furnishing & decor retailer featuring one-of-a-kind items in all our favorite categories ranging from furniture to rugs, pillows to wall art – they literally have something great for everyone. PlaidFox's mission is to help make your home a reflection of who you are, which they've executed brilliantly with their amazingly curated inventory.
PlaidFox and I would like to host a 'one for me, one for you' pillow giveaway! I've been oogling over this Gold Fleur pillow by Caitlin Wilson for quite some time, so I jumped on it right away!
If you've been a reader for a while, you know by now pillows are my thang (or should I join bloggers everywhere and say "my jam" ha!). I love to change things up at home by swapping out pillows. I know I say it a lot, but a pillow swap is literally one of the easiest ways to liven up your space. Whether its your bedroom, your living room, your reading nook, etc, all you have to do is swap out pillows for the season or if the mood changes. It's so much easier staying on trend with pillows over pieces of furniture, that's for sure.
Perhaps the most exciting feature of being a PlaidFox shopper is the minute you sign up for an account (which is free!) and make a purchase, you automatically earn 8% back in cash credit towards your next purchase! It's like the gift that keeps on giving!
Now, let's get to the fun stuff. With this giveaway, one lucky reader will win a pillow of their choice from PlaidFox. Go ahead and check out their amazing pillow selection! Everyone will have 4 opportunities to enter:
- Leave a comment with a link or reference to your favorite PlaidFox pillow
- Follow PlaidFox on FaceBook

#Targetwedding, a Registry, & a Giveaway, oh my!

- In giveaway, sponsors

Disclosure: Content and/or other value provided by our partner, Target. All opinions are my own. #Sponsored
Being in the midst of a kitchen reno typically means you chuck all your kitchen belongings (fridge included) into the garage, and you live there until the renovation gets sorted out. We've been in this state of upheaval, living out of our garage, going on 6 weeks now. Let me tell you, 6 weeks is a LONG time to be washing dishes in the bath tub and searching for your salt at the bottom of a Target shopping bag! Long story short, our current situation has really forced some perspective and self evaluation on all the things we own and how we store and utilize them in our small living space… ie, we need better storage!
It wasn't too long ago my husband and I were planning our wedding, registering for gifts, contemplating our forever life together etc etc. Hindsight is 20/20 right? I wish now someone would have suggested to me 'hey, you need to consider STORAGE!' Instead of just registering for all the pretty things like china and champagne flutes, I definitely wish we would have registered for things like storage totes, decorative baskets, Pyrex sets and the like. Because of this realization, Target and I have decided to partner and share the good news about the Target Registry! Oh, and of course host a giveaway (see bottom of post for deets!)
The Target Wedding registry item I most strongly suggest adding to your kitchen arsenal is the Pyrex 10-Piece Storage Set. After our wedding was over and the holidays came to, I asked Santa for a Pyrex set (not joking here!).
I'm so glad Santa delivered because I was kicking myself for not registering for food storage. Can I tell you, I HATE disposable food storage, you know, those flimsy plastic "disposable" containers you buy in packs of 5 or whatever that permanently stain pink the second you plop your leftover spaghetti into them? Yes, those. I mean honestly, does anyone actually dispose of them? I'm telling you, you need the glass set. Not only can you see what the contents are, you can microwave them from cold no problem. Pyrex is magic.
Since I'm on this pedestal singing about storage, let me show you a few other items that would be perfect for your Target Wedding registry:
Cute & colorful storage totes! I love these storage boxes, they fit perfectly onto bookshelves and even more perfectly in that Expedit unit you know we all have somewhere at home 😉
If color isn't your thing, try these more versatile and neutral shades of grey, leather and tan. With these boxes, you'll look very grown-up, indeed.
This season Target is encouraging couples to 'get into our groove' and design a life together beginning with the Target Wedding registry. The Fall season is really the best season to gather and organize yourselves now that the fury of Summer is gone, and focus on new routines and habits. Target offers a vast array of traditional and non traditional items for any couple's style, budget, and personality.
Now, for the giveaway!
Target and I have partnered to giveaway a $25 gift card to one lucky reader. Don't worry, everyone can play along even if you're solo or already married! One winner will be randomly chosen, but in order to qualify all you have to do is leave a comment here and tell me what item at Target you would add (or should have added) to your Target Wedding registry. Giveaway ends Sunday October 5th at midnight, PST.
Good luck!

DIY Leather Pouf & Giveaway with the Leather Hide Store
- on May 12, 2014
- By brittanyMakes
- In baby time, DIY, giveaway, sponsors
- 39
*This post is in partnership with The Leather Hide Store, all opinions are my own
For those of you who have been reading for a while probably remember the favored West Elm pouf hack. Well, I sorta brought this tutorial back today, but revamped for my current needs: an ottoman for our nursery!
I feel so honored to have been contacted by the Leather Hide Store to sample a remnant of their leather. I have ALWAYS wanted a leather pouf, either a morrocan or a vintage classic, and when putting together our nursery I knew a leather pouf was in order.
The Leather Hide Store sent me a few swatches of leather (I was extremely indecisive at first, they have so many incredible options to choose from!) My first instinct was to play it safe and get something cream or white, but I decided to challenge myself and go brown (gasp! right? so edgy, I know). I chose Golden Saddle, which as you can see looks rich and vintage in the photo above (less like the image on the website – I recommend ordering swatches!).
One thing you'll notice is the seam down the front side of the pouf. I actually did this intentionally as I wanted the pouf to feel vintage and pieced together. My pouf measures 18″ W 16″ H 18″ D, and sewing it together was actually the easiest thing, luckily Santa brought me a new sewing machine this year, sewing through two layers of leather couldn't have been smoother. My old machine would have choked…
I first attached all 4 side pieces, creating one long rectangle. Then, I attached the top and bottom, which left me with one edge completely open. I reinforced the corners of this open edge by sewing down about an inch top and bottom, then turned the pouf inside out. I stuffed the pouf with 4″ high density upholstery foam (2 layers for the center) and surrounded the foam with Poly-fill, just like I did in this post. Once the pouf was completely stuffed, I hand stitched the edge closed.
Over all I am quite impressed with the leather quality the Leather Hide Store has to offer. Their remnants are priced super well (and are actually on sale right now!). But maybe a remnant is too small for your project? Check out their upholstery leather section for a greater variety of options.
I'm pretty stoked to be able to offer this giveaway today! All you have to do is enter the giveaway below. Open to US Residents only, each reader has 4 chances to enter. Good luck!

GSD Course Bulletin - Spring 2014
This term's information was last refreshed on 12 MAY 2015 14:55:41.
Courses taught by Neil Brenner
04472: Urban Theory after 1968: Towards a Study of Planetary Urbanism (HIS 0447200)
Urban Planning and Design
Lecture - 4 credits
Friday 2:00 - 5:00 Gund 124
Neil Brenner
Course Description
This class elaborates some of the theoretical foundations for the ongoing research of the Urban Theory Lab on the contemporary "urban revolution". Such an investigation requires considerable conceptual and methodological innovation, not least because inherited approaches to urban theory and research generally take for granted the very distinction between city and non-city spaces that is today being radically superseded. We here explore the problematique of planetary urbanization in four steps. First, we survey the legacies of city-centric epistemologies and cartographies in several key approaches to urban theory. Second, we critically evaluate several key strands of late 20th and early 21st century urban theory with particular attention to their treatment of the "global" dimensions of urbanization (Marxist urban theory and global city theory). Third, through a close reading of key works by Henri Lefebvre, David Harvey and more recent contributions, we elaborate some conceptual foundations for approaching newly emergent, planetary patterns of urbanization. Fourth, we consider some of the major debates in contemporary urban theory, in relation to which the conceptualization of planetary urbanization has been articulated.
09133: Urban Theory Lab, Project-Based Seminar: Extreme Territories of Urbanization (ADV 0913300)
Urban Planning and Design
Seminar - 4 credits - Limited enrollment
Friday 8:00 - 11:00 Gund 124
Neil Brenner
Course Description
In the early 1970s, Henri Lefebvre anticipated a situation of "generalized urbanization" in which an "urban fabric" would be extended to encompass the entire planet. More recently, geographer Edward Soja declared that "every square inch of the world is urbanized to some degree." While the changing morphology and scale of urbanized regions has attracted considerable attention among urban scholars, the worldwide "urban fabric" postulated by Lefebvre and Soja remains underresearched and poorly understood. Building on the theory of extended urbanization that is now under development in the Urban Theory Lab-GSD, this project-based research seminar will test the Lefebvre-Soja hypothesis of complete urbanization with reference to several "extreme territories" that are normally not considered to contain urban elements--the Himalayas, the Amazon, the Arctic, the Gobi steppe, Siberia, the Sahara, Patagonia, the Pacific Ocean and the atmosphere. Following some introductory readings to establish a shared analytical framework, teams of students follow a common theoretical, representational and methodological protocol to investigate one of the aforementioned zones. The seminar is the second in a multi-year series that will result in a UTL publication.
Enrollment process/prerequisites:
Students are given preference to enrollment, in this order, via the limited enrollment course lottery:
1. involved in the Urban Theory Lab
2. Doctoral students
3. enrolled in the ULE MDes track
4. Students enrolled in other MDes tracks and other students (who are not enrolled in studio) may also select this course in the limited-enrollment course lottery, but will be enrolled by permission of the instructor. These students should send Professor Brenner (via Maria Moran, email@example.com) an email describing their interest in this course/area of research.

What are some of the fastest OpenWRT-compatible wifi routers out there? (In terms of general processing power)
closed as off topic by KronoS, Daniel Beck♦ Oct 31 '12 at 22:01
Questions on Super User are expected to relate to computer software or computer hardware within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
To the best of my knowledge, the OpenWRT table of supported hardware (or the older version) is the place to start. There's also a DD-WRT version if you want to compare. These tables list supported devices and detail their hardware capabilities, including CPU platform, CPU frequency, amount of RAM and flash memory capacity.
Most devices in these tables are older and will have a CPU speed of ~200MHz. Glancing through the OpenWRT table, a few more recent devices jump out at me as having potential. This is a cursory look, though, and it's hard to tell how one CPU stacks up against another without more detailed research.
Additionally, the Work-in-Progress section of the table lists some other interesting devices:
Those seem to be the beefiest devices listed, but I'm not familiar with any of them off the bat. It's a start for your research, though. From here, you might look into the capabilities of the Atheros CPU that the fastest of these devices use, and see how it compares with the Marvell CPUs used by the others.
Fastest OpenWRT wifi router in regards to what?
Startup time? How quickly it trains to the signal on the line? Switching traffic? Processing power? Encrypting data for a VPN?
If you're an internet techie moving from house-to-house testing ADSL connections then you don't want something that trains to the line for 5 minutes.
If you're using it to copy large files between computers on your network you probably want something that can switch traffic quickly.
Do you want OpenWRT so you can run a web server on your router? In that case you might want processing power.
Is this router going to be part of a hub and spoke VPN and it will have to encrypt traffic? In that case you probably want something with hardware that can accelerate encryption.


text: I have installed UBUNTU 12.04LTS on my desktop. However, during work, the display suddenly becomes black. As the cursor is moved, it starts displaying the normal background as if it is being painted upon using paint brush. Literally, I am able to paint over the black screen fully to get back the normal background and the system works fine for some time before the black screen appears again. If I do not paint also, the normal screen appears back after some time (probably when the screen refreshes after some time, normality returns). I tried changing the screen resolution to a lower resolution however the problem still remains. Need help in resolving this issue including steps (if possible) for getting update of drivers if necessary.

I can't place it - it's almost like a new, abstract version of the MNOG artworks, but I really like it regardless of my inability to place what I specifically love about it!

I love the MNOG art but I've never been able to replicate it, so instead I have this strange, simplified version. It's not to everyone's tastes, sure, but I'm not really good enough to make it just like MNOG, it ends up looking weird.
And no, Brutaka gave him the lollipop.

Never thought I'd see the day where one of my favorite Bionicle characters would be drawn with a lollipop.
But anyway, I really like how he look here. Especially his Ax. The red dot on his chest does kind of bothers me, but that is just a little nitpick. Aside from that, I really like this.

Interesting, is this a vector art? Because I can see how clean the design is, but I am trying to figure if you rasterized it because it seems very pixelated.

Let me take a minute to explain the background of the challenge I am facing. My company has offices in US and Asia. The users work on large CAD files. The office in US has NAS (Network Attached Storage) where all the files are stored. The US users have no difficulty in opening the files however the users in Asia have to wait for a long time. Sometimes it takes up to 30 minutes to open a file. This affects their productivity. The issue is caused by Network Latency (300 ms). There are close to 300 users in Asia.
Following are some of the options that were explored.
- WAN Optimization software - There is already a WAN Optimization Software installed but that does not seem to cache the files more than a day.
- Remote Desktop - This will reduce the time taken to open the file but every operation in the application is slow.
- Cloud Storage - Risk of storing data with 3rd Party Vendor.
- File Replication software like Microsoft DFS Replication. The main drawback of this technology is it does not lock the file when it is being edited.
I am open to other ideas as well. However I would like to get your opinion and suggestion of softwares that lock the file and sync data on a real time basis. If someone has already implemented or using such software please suggest the pros and cons.

Wow, this has to be the most boring Brazilian ad I've seen. Fail.
The headline and the visual are more of a 'corporate image builder' of Mercedez. One can assume that there is no room for shortcuts in the company's corporate philosophy. The problem starts here- they are also trying to sell the 'New C63 AMG under the same umbrella. That does not jive with the headline and the visual. And the ad hasn't attempted to use the corporate philosophy in introducing the new C63.The ad is incomplete.
Do they still need an ad like this?
Shattered details on every corner!
Would have been a much cleaner layout!!

Hello, first of all I want to thanks you for this great theme. But unfortunately I have slight little problem with it and I can't find answer on my own.
This is my site:
and map I am using. The plugin for the map is called Simple Google Maps and it allows users to add markers on the map without any registering. But as you may probably see- the map is not showing correctly in graphene theme (navigation is scattered and map is displayed with some stripes). When I change to any other theme- map is displayed fine. I know there was similar topic, but it was closed and solution from there doesn't work for me.
I would be thankful for any help

This plugin is simple to install and use - it works exactly as advertised. However, when installing in to use with my CF7 form, I'd like the ability to set the number of characters to something greater than 4 (maybe 6?), on the assumption that the more characters, the harder to break.
Is this possible?

Do 'Real' Exercise to Prevent Cancer
Sept. 28, 2006 -- Taking the occasional flight of stairs or short walk from the parking garage to the office simply isn't enough to put a dent in your cancer risk.
Instead, new cancer prevention guidelines from the American Cancer Society say at least 30 minutes a day of dedicated exercise above and beyond the usual activities of daily life on five or more days a week is needed to really reduce your cancer risk.
That's a step up from previous guidelines that allowed people to count physical activity from normal activities of daily life toward their recommended 30 minutes a day of physical activity.
In addition, the new guidelines call on communities to take a more active role in encouraging healthy behaviors, by increasing access to healthful foods in schools and workplaces as well as providing safe and enjoyable sidewalks and recreational facilities.
"For years, we've told people what habits to adopt to lower their cancer risk, but it has become increasingly clear we need to create environments that make it easier to make healthy choices," says researcher Colleen Doyle, MS, RD, director of nutrition and physical activity for the American Cancer Society, in a news release.
"Just as excise taxes and smoke-free laws have been critical to reducing tobacco's cancer toll," says Doyle, "community action is essential to create a social environment that promotes healthy food choices and physical activity."
4 Steps to Fight Cancer
Researchers say that for nonsmokers, weight control, physical activity, and dietary factors are the most important modifiable cancer risk factors.
One-third of the more than 500,000 cancer deaths in the U.S. each year are attributable to diet and physical activity habits, such as being overweight or obese. That's about the same number of cancer deaths caused by tobacco.
Given the recent rise in obesity in the U.S., researchers say the new cancer prevention guidelines emphasize maintaining a healthy weight throughout life as the best thing you can do to reduce your risk of cancer.
The guidelines spell out the top four cancer prevention recommendations, along with strategies to achieve them, including:

Alternative Complementation in Partially Schematic Constructions: a Quantitative Corpus-based Examination of COME to V2 and GET to V2
Date: May 2012
Creator: Lester, Nicholas A.
Description: This paper examines two English polyverbal constructions, COME to V2 and GET to V2, as exemplified in Examples 1 and 2, respectively. (1) the senator came to know thousands of his constituents (2) Little Johnny got to eat ice cream after every little league game. Previous studies considered these types of constructions (though come and get as used here have not been sufficiently studied) as belonging to a special class of complement constructions, in which the infinitive is regarded as instantiating a separate, subordinate predication from that of the "matrix" or leftward finite verb. These constructions, however, exhibit systematic deviation from the various criteria proposed in previous research. This study uses the American National Corpus to investigate the statistical propensities of the target phenomena via lexico-syntactic (collostructional analysis) and morpho-syntactic (binary logistic regression) features, as captured through the lens of construction grammar.

Burushaski Case Marking, Agreement and Implications: an Analysis of the Hunza Dialect
Date: December 2012
Creator: Smith, Alexander
Description: This thesis was written to explore the structural case patterns of the Burushaski sentence and to examine the different participant coding systems which appear between noun marking and verb agreement. Verb suffixes follow nominative alignment patterns of agreement, while the verb prefix agrees with the affected argument as determined by semantic relations, as opposed to syntactic ones. The agent noun phrase is directly marked when highly active or volitional, suggesting a system of agent marking on the noun phrase and nominative alignment on the verb suffix. Nominative alignment also allows for a less marked presence of passive voice. Burushaski's agent marking is not entirely consistent; however, its nominative alignment is consistent. The conclusion is that Burushaski is not an ergative language at all.

A Corpus-Based Approach to Gerundial and Infinitival Complementation in Spanish ESL Writing
Date: May 2011
Creator: Martinez-Garcia, Maria Teresa
Description: This paper examines the use of infinitival and gerundial constructions by intermediate Spanish learners. The use of those two patterns creates problems for second language learners at intermediate and advanced levels. However, there are only few studies on their second language acquisition, and fewer focus on Spanish learners. This study tries to resolve this and to this end, I retrieved all hits of the two constructions from the Spanish component of the International Learner Corpus of English (SP-ICLE). I run a distinctive collexeme analysis (DCA) to identify the verbs that are associated with either pattern. The results are discussed at three different levels: (i) the identification of verbs that Spanish learners associate with each construction; (ii) a systematic comparison with previous studies on native speakers to show possible similarities/discrepancies; and (iii) a comparison of the results with findings on German learners to discuss possible effects of language similarity and transfer.

Directions Toward a "Happy Place": Metaphor in Conversational Discourse
Date: December 2011
Creator: Edwards, Jonathan Ryan
Description: This paper aims to show how people use and understand metaphorical language in conversational discourse. Specifically, I examine how metaphorical language has the potential to be either effective or ineffective in its usage, and how they are bound to the contextual environment of the conversation. This particular setting is a conversation between a researcher and a participant involved in a therapeutic program. Metaphorical language is shown to be helpful for understanding difficult subjects; however, I found most metaphorical occurrences ineffective in meaning-making. Often these ineffective metaphors are elaborated or repeated throughout the discourse event, creating problems with cohesion and understanding. Metaphor use in conversation is an effective rhetorical tool for creating meaning, but it is also a problematic device when it comes to aligning participants' conversational goal.

Do College Students with ADHD have Expressive Writing Difficulties as Do Children with ADHD?
Date: August 2010
Creator: Mantecon, Hripsime Der-Galustian
Description: This study analyzed the expressive writing of college students. Twenty-two ADHD students and 22 controls were asked to write a story based on a picture story and a personal challenge. The texts were compared based on several qualitative and quantitative parameters. The results show that students in both groups presented similar text quality. Out of six qualitative parameters only one was statistically different between the two groups: ADHD students performed worse in adequacy, but only in the picture task. Students writings were also investigated using corpus based analysis. This analysis showed that ADHD students used less unusually frequent words in the picture story but more in the challenge task. Taken together the findings indicate no significant difference in expressive writing between ADHD and non ADHD college students. An explanation to this result is that college students with ADHD may have passed the filter of prior education.

Drawing Boundaries and Revealing Language Attitudes: Mapping Perceptions of Dialects in Korea
Date: May 2013
Creator: Jeon, Lisa
Description: Perceptual dialectology studies have shown that people have strong opinions about the number and placement of dialect regions. There has been relatively little research conducted in this area on Korean, however, with early studies using only short language attitude surveys. To address this gap in research, in the present study, I use the 'draw-?a-?map' task to examine perceptions of language variation in Korea. I ask respondents to draw a line around places in Korea where people speak differently and provide names, examples, and comments about the language spoken in those areas. With the resulting data, I use ArcGIS 10.0 software to quantitatively identify, aggregate, and map the most salient dialect areas and categories for subjects' perceptions. I also perform a content analysis of the qualitative data provided by respondents using 'keywords.' During this process, I categorize comments and labels given by respondents to find emerging themes. Finally, I stratify perceptions of respondents by demographic factors, e.g., age, sex, and urbanicity, that have often been found to be important in language variation and change.

Exposing Deep-rooted Anger: A Metaphor Pattern Analysis of Mixed Anger Metaphors
Date: August 2011
Creator: Barron, Andrew T.
Description: This project seeks to serve two purposes: first, to investigate various semantic and grammatical aspects of mixed conceptual metaphors in reference to anger; and secondly, to explore the potential of a corpus-based, TARGET DOMAIN-oriented method termed metaphor pattern analysis to the study of mixed metaphor. This research shows that mixed metaphors do not pattern in a manner consistent with statements made within conceptual metaphor theory. These metaphors prove highly dynamic in their combinability and resist resonance between SOURCE DOMAINS used. Also shown is the viability of metaphor pattern analysis as a methodology to approach mixed metaphor research.

How Drawing Becomes Writing: Proto-orthography in the Codex Borbonicus
Date: May 2013
Creator: Bolinger, Taylor
Description: The scholarship on the extent of the Nahuatl writing system makes something of a sense-reference error. There are a number of occurrences in which the symbols encode a verb, three in the present tense and one in the past tense. The context of the use of calendar systems and written language in the Aztec empire is roughly described. I suggest that a new typology for is needed in order to fully account for Mesoamerican writing systems and to put to rest the idea that alphabetic orthographies are superior to other full systems. I cite neurolinguistic articles in support of this argument and suggest an evolutionary typology based on Gould's theory of Exaptation paired with the typology outlined by Justeson in his "Origins of Mesoamerican Writing" article.

Middle Voice Construction in Burushaski: From the Perspective of a Native Speaker of the Hunza Dialect
Date: May 2013
Creator: Karim, Piar
Description: This study is about voice system in Burushaski, focusing especially on the middle voice (MV) construction. It claims that the [dd-] verbal prefix is an overt morphological middle marker for MV constructions, while the [n-] verbal prefix is a morphological marker for passive voice. The data primarily come from the Hunza dialect of Burushaski, but analogous phenomena can be observed in other dialects. This research is based on a corpus of 120 dd-prefix verbs. This research has showed that position {-2} on the verb template is occupied by voice-marker in Burushaski. The author argues that the middle marker is a semantic category of its own and that it is clearly distinguished from the reflexive marker in this language. The analysis of the phenomenon in this study only comes from the dialect of Hunza Burushaski, so a lot of research remains to be done on the other three dialects of Burushaski: Yasin dialect, Nagar dialect and Srinagar dialect.

Perception of Foreign Accented Speech: the Roles of Familiarity and Linguistic Training
Date: May 2012
Creator: Sales, Rachel
Description: This paper seeks to address the issue by examining two factors that potentially affect a listener's perception of foreign accented speech: degree of familiarity (as acquired through a work or personal environment) and amount of ESL or linguistic training. Speech samples were recorded from 18 international students from Hispanic, Asian, and Middle-eastern backgrounds and across all proficiency levels as designated by their academic English program. Six native English speakers were also recorded to serve as a basis for comparison. Listeners were drawn from two pools: people with ESL and/or linguistic training (n=42) and laypersons with no such specialist training (n=36). After completing a background questionnaire to assess familiarity with foreign accented speech, each listener rated all 24 speech samples on the dimensions of comprehensibility, degree of accent, and communicative ability. Results indicate that participants with ESL/linguistic training rate foreign accented speech more positively on all three dimensions than laypersons with no such training. Additionally, degree of familiarity with foreign accented speech is positively correlated with how participants rated the accented speech samples. a number of highly significant interactions between these and other factors including sex of the speaker, proficiency level of the speaker, and L1 family of the speaker were ...

Diabetes Health Center
How It Feels
Blood test by a laboratory
The blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm. An elastic band is wrapped around your upper arm. It may feel tight. You may feel nothing at all from the needle, or you may feel a quick sting or pinch.
Blood test at home
Your finger may feel sore after pricking it for a drop of blood for the test.
Urine test
There is normally no discomfort involved with collecting a urine sample.
Blood test by a laboratory
There is very little risk of a problem from having blood drawn from a vein.
- You may develop a small bruise at the puncture site. You can reduce the risk of bruising by keeping pressure on the site for several minutes after the needle is withdrawn.
- In rare cases, the vein may become inflamed after the blood sample is taken. This condition is called phlebitis and is usually treated with a warm compress applied several times daily.
- Continued bleeding can be a problem for people with bleeding disorders. Aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin), and other blood-thinning medicines can also make bleeding more likely. If you have bleeding or clotting problems, or if you take blood-thinning medicine, tell your health professional before your blood is drawn.
Blood test at home
There is very little risk of complications from testing your blood for ketones with a home blood sugar meter.
Urine test
There are no risks associated with collecting a urine sample.
A ketone test checks for substances made when the body breaks down fat for energy (ketones).
There are no ketones in your blood or urine.
Ketones are present in your blood or urine.
Blood test at home
Home blood sugar meters that also test for ketones display results on the meter's screen.
In people who have diabetes, blood ketones are expected to be lower than 0.6 mmol/L.
Urine test
Ketones are present in the urine if:
- The test strip changes color after dipping it into the urine.
- The urine changes color after placing the test tablet in it.

A Live Painting Breakdown | Hope For Them Foundation with Borbay @ Gallery 151
Cause: Hope For Them Foundation's Holiday Toy Drive
Date: 12/17/2011
Unscripted shot of Borbay losing his religion. That's him in the spotlight, losing his religion. R.E.M.
Me becoming one with my brushes before the painting starts.
Borbay on the right. Lankin on the left. About 20 minutes into the paintings, before Gallery 151 got packed with philanthropic revelers.
Only process shot I took, at this point I figured out the palette and composition. I was feeding off the lively energy of the venue, thoughts of hope, teamwork, joy, celebration, happiness, and helping. Check out the Getty Images link at the bottom for earlier shots of my painting.
Right after I signed the painting I added a few touches to the upper left as up-and-coming photographer Alex Gurvich stealthily snapped this photo.
And with about 20 minutes remaining it's finished, my first abstract live painting at an event. Click image for a larger version.

Hi, I'm testing your plugin and it works pretty well for the most part- I just found some things don't seem to be working for me.
When I go onto a task and I want to view its subtasks, mark it as complete or delete it it does not do any of these things.
I'm testing on a wordpress multi site installation- not sure if that helps?
Also the notifications links in the frnt end admin menu bar for the tasks don't seem to go anywhere.

What are Eli Whitney students like? This is a difficult question to answer because there is no "typical" student in the Eli Whitney Students Program. They come from all walks of life. They are entrepreneurs, community or social activists, veterans, parents, business professionals, and they range in age from mid-twenties to fifties. In addition to the profiles below, a YTV video and a Yale Herald article may provide you with a better sense of the backgrounds of some Whitney students. The descriptions below of a few current students illustrate the diversity of life experiences that Whitney students bring to the Yale community.
A Computing and the Arts major at Yale, Jennifer is a former professional figure skater, having competed nationally and internationally for the United States in ice dancing for many years. She is the owner and director of a skating school and is also an entrepreneur with her own small costuming business. Jennifer grew up in Texas but has lived in many parts of the US and abroad. Jennifer is trilingual, speaking English, Russian and Italian fluently. She balances life off-campus (which includes two young sons and her husband) with her studies by reading many of her texts to her kids at bedtime. She loves the culture of Yale and the lack of stigma so often applied to older students at other colleges. Her favorite perk of the Yale experience is the Master's Teas which provide opportunities for Yale students to meet in small groups with guest speakers who are leaders in their fields.
Michael graduated from high school in 1969 but left college after two years at two different institutions. He currently juggles being a History major at Yale and being the chief executive officer of a $100-million independent book publishing firm in New York City. Michael is also on the chairman of the Board of Directors of the Academy of American Poets and chairs the Board of the National Coalition Against Censorship. He also serves on the Board of Governors of Yale University Press. Michael is married to a novelist and they have two children who are now older than many of his undergraduate colleagues at Yale. After an almost 40 year hiatus from higher education, in his first semester back at school he took two seminars, "Shakespeare and the Canon: Histories, Comedies, and Poems" and "Rivers: Nature and Politics" with two Sterling Professors at Yale. Michael calls Yale a "Disneyland for Brainiacs" and the Eli Whitney Students program "an experience that has changed and enriched my life."
Upon graduation from high school, Ryan enlisted in the military. He served twelve years in the Navy, predominantly within the field of Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), and has deployed to the Middle East and Afghanistan with various units including SEAL and Army Special Forces teams. In 2014, he left active duty in order to pursue a traditional liberal arts education, and applied to the Eli Whitney Students Program while attending community college in California. Ryan is currently a Political Science major at Yale, and is interested in the study of strategic and theoretical frameworks as they apply to complex phenomenon like war and political violence. He says that he feels at home surrounded by people with the same deep curiosity and thirst for knowledge as himself. Outside of the classroom, he is co-captain of Yale's competitive powerlifting team, a member of the rock climbing team, and also continues to serve in the Naval Reserves.
After graduating from high school, Chris started a career in music. Following a 6-year hiatus from his education, he returned to college where he received leadership and writing awards, founded an Economics Club, and served as president of the college's Philosophy Club. After obtaining his Associate's degree, Chris transferred to Yale's Eli Whitney Students Program. In addition to being an Ethics, Politics and Economics major at Yale, Chris is a music producer and business manager of a film company. Of his Yale experience, Chris says "My question-and-answer-seeking process has been every bit as stimulating and challenging as I had hoped not only because my professors at Yale are incredible lecturers and culture-shaping intellectuals, but also because my classmates and friends here share my passion for learning and offer their own unique questions and answers. Since arriving at Yale I have come to see the world in a new way. I have developed new goals that my experiences at Yale have both inspired and prepared me to accomplish."

The St. Joseph Academy class of 2013 journeyed to the Marywood Retreat Center recently for a day of reflection. Theology teacher Deacon Bryan Ott started the day off with icebreaker activities. Leading the activities were seniors Alex White and Ryan Preece. The focus of the games was to get all the seniors energized and start the day with a bang.
Enrico Filippini is the new theology teacher at St. Joseph Academy. He was originally from Reading, Pa. but he considers his hometown to be Melbourne.
He went to Flagler College, he says, and wanted to come back to St. Augustine to teach at St. Joe's because the sheer history of the school was exciting to him.
This is his first year teaching. When asked why he wanted to become a teacher he said: "Because he wanted to challenge deeper thinking amongst students regarding the various tenets of Catholicism."
