Version control

A component of software configuration management, version control, also known as revision control or source control,[1] is the management of changes to documents, computer programs, large web sites, and other collections of information. Changes are usually identified by a number or letter code, termed the "revision number", "revision level", or simply "revision". For example, an initial set of files is "revision 1". When the first change is made, the resulting set is "revision 2", and so on. Each revision is associated with a timestamp and the person making the change. Revisions can be compared, restored, and with some types of files, merged.
The need for a logical way to organize and control revisions has existed for almost as long as writing has existed, but revision control became much more important, and complicated, when the era of computing began. The numbering of book editions and of specification revisions are examples that date back to the print-only era. Today, the most capable (as well as complex) revision control systems are those used in software development, where a team of people may change the same files.
Version control systems (VCS) most commonly run as stand-alone applications, but revision control is also embedded in various types of software such as word processors and spreadsheets, collaborative web docs[2] and in various content management systems, e.g., Wikipedia's Page history. Revision control allows for the ability to revert a document to a previous revision, which is critical for allowing editors to track each other's edits, correct mistakes, and defend against vandalism and spamming.
Software tools for revision control are essential for the organization of multi-developer projects.[3]
In computer software engineering, revision control is any kind of practice that tracks and provides control over changes to source code. Software developers sometimes use revision control software to maintain documentation and configuration files as well as source code.
As teams design, develop and deploy software, it is common for multiple versions of the same software to be deployed in different sites and for the software's developers to be working simultaneously on updates. Bugs or features of the software are often only present in certain versions (because of the fixing of some problems and the introduction of others as the program develops). Therefore, for the purposes of locating and fixing bugs, it is vitally important to be able to retrieve and run different versions of the software to determine in which version(s) the problem occurs. It may also be necessary to develop two versions of the software concurrently (for instance, where one version has bugs fixed, but no new features (branch), while the other version is where new features are worked on (trunk).
At the simplest level, developers could simply retain multiple copies of the different versions of the program, and label them appropriately. This simple approach has been used on many large software projects. While this method can work, it is inefficient as many near-identical copies of the program have to be maintained. This requires a lot of self-discipline on the part of developers, and often leads to mistakes. Since the code base is the same, it also requires granting read-write-execute permission to a set of developers, and this adds the pressure of someone managing permissions so that the code base is not compromised, which adds more complexity. Consequently, systems to automate some or all of the revision control process have been developed. This ensures that the majority of management of version control steps is hidden behind the scenes.
Moreover, in software development, legal and business practice and other environments, it has become increasingly common for a single document or snippet of code to be edited by a team, the members of which may be geographically dispersed and may pursue different and even contrary interests. Sophisticated revision control that tracks and accounts for ownership of changes to documents and code may be extremely helpful or even indispensable in such situations.
Revision control may also track changes to configuration files, such as those typically stored in /etc
or /usr/local/etc
on Unix systems. This gives system administrators another way to easily track changes made and a way to roll back to earlier versions should the need arise.
Revision control manages changes to a set of data over time. These changes can be structured in various ways.
Often the data is thought of as a collection of many individual items, such as files or documents, and changes to individual files are tracked. This accords with intuitions about separate files, but causes problems when identity changes, such as during renaming, splitting, or merging of files. Accordingly, some systems, such as git, instead consider changes to the data as a whole, which is less intuitive for simple changes, but simplifies more complex changes.
When data that is under revision control is modified, after being retrieved by checking out, this is not in general immediately reflected in the revision control system (in the repository), but must instead be checked in or committed. A copy outside revision control is known as a "working copy". As a simple example, when editing a computer file, the data stored in memory by the editing program is the working copy, which is committed by saving. Concretely, one may print out a document, edit it by hand, and only later manually input the changes into a computer and save it. For source code control, the working copy is instead a copy of all files in a particular revision, generally stored locally on the developer's computer;[note 1] in this case saving the file only changes the working copy, and checking into the repository is a separate step.
If multiple people are working on a single data set or document, they are implicitly creating branches of the data (in their working copies), and thus issues of merging arise, as discussed below. For simple collaborative document editing, this can be prevented by using file locking or simply avoiding working on the same document that someone else is working on.
Revision control systems are often centralized, with a single authoritative data store, the repository, and check-outs and check-ins done with reference to this central repository. Alternatively, in distributed revision control, no single repository is authoritative, and data can be checked out and checked into any repository. When checking into a different repository, this is interpreted as a merge or patch.
Graph structure[edit]
In terms of graph theory, revisions are generally thought of as a line of development (the trunk) with branches off of this, forming a directed tree, visualized as one or more parallel lines of development (the "mainlines" of the branches) branching off a trunk. In reality the structure is more complicated, forming a directed acyclic graph, but for many purposes "tree with merges" is an adequate approximation.
Revisions occur in sequence over time, and thus can be arranged in order, either by revision number or timestamp.[note 2] Revisions are based on past revisions, though it is possible to largely or completely replace an earlier revision, such as "delete all existing text, insert new text". In the simplest case, with no branching or undoing, each revision is based on its immediate predecessor alone, and they form a simple line, with a single latest version, the "HEAD" revision or tip. In graph theory terms, drawing each revision as a point and each "derived revision" relationship as an arrow (conventionally pointing from older to newer, in the same direction as time), this is a linear graph. If there is branching, so multiple future revisions are based on a past revision, or undoing, so a revision can depend on a revision older than its immediate predecessor, then the resulting graph is instead a directed tree (each node can have more than one child), and has multiple tips, corresponding to the revisions without children ("latest revision on each branch").[note 3] In principle the resulting tree need not have a preferred tip ("main" latest revision) – just various different revisions – but in practice one tip is generally identified as HEAD. When a new revisions is based on HEAD, it is either identified as the new HEAD, or considered a new branch.[note 4] The list of revisions from the start to HEAD (in graph theory terms, the unique path in the tree, which forms a linear graph as before) is the trunk or mainline.[note 5] Conversely, when a revision can be based on more than one previous revision (when a node can have more than one parent), the resulting process is called a merge, and is one of the most complex aspects of revision control. This most often occurs when changes occur in multiple branches (most often two, but more are possible), which are then merged into a single branch incorporating both changes. If these changes overlap, it may be difficult or impossible to merge, and require manual intervention or rewriting.
In the presence of merges, the resulting graph is no longer a tree, as nodes can have multiple parents, but is instead a rooted directed acyclic graph (DAG). The graph is acyclic since parents are always backwards in time, and rooted because there is an oldest version. However, assuming that there is a trunk, merges from branches can be considered as "external" to the tree – the changes in the branch are packaged up as a patch, which is applied to HEAD (of the trunk), creating a new revision without any explicit reference to the branch, and preserving the tree structure. Thus, while the actual relations between versions form a DAG, this can be considered a tree plus merges, and the trunk itself is a line.
In distributed revision control, in the presence of multiple repositories these may be based on a single original version (a root of the tree), but there need not be an original root, and thus only a separate root (oldest revision) for each repository, for example if two people starting working on a project separately. Similarly in the presence of multiple data sets (multiple projects) that exchange data or merge, there isn't a single root, though for simplicity one may think of one project as primary and the other as secondary, merged into the first with or without its own revision history.
Specialized strategies[edit]
Engineering revision control developed from formalized processes based on tracking revisions of early blueprints or bluelines. This system of control implicitly allowed returning to any earlier state of the design, for cases in which an engineering dead-end was reached in the development of the design. A revision table was used to keep track of the changes made. Additionally, the modified areas of the drawing were highlighted using revision clouds.
Version control is widespread in business and law. Indeed, "contract redline" and "legal blackline" are some of the earliest forms of revision control,[4] and are still employed in business and law with varying degrees of sophistication. The most sophisticated techniques are beginning to be used for the electronic tracking of changes to CAD files (see product data management), supplanting the "manual" electronic implementation of traditional revision control.[citation needed]
Source-management models[edit]
Traditional revision control systems use a centralized model where all the revision control functions take place on a shared server. If two developers try to change the same file at the same time, without some method of managing access the developers may end up overwriting each other's work. Centralized revision control systems solve this problem in one of two different "source management models": file locking and version merging.
Atomic operations[edit]
An operation is atomic if the system is left in a consistent state even if the operation is interrupted. The commit operation is usually the most critical in this sense. Commits tell the revision control system to make a group of changes final, and available to all users. Not all revision control systems have atomic commits; notably, CVS lacks this feature.
File locking[edit]
The simplest method of preventing "concurrent access" problems involves locking files so that only one developer at a time has write access to the central "repository" copies of those files. Once one developer "checks out" a file, others can read that file, but no one else may change that file until that developer "checks in" the updated version (or cancels the checkout).
File locking has both merits and drawbacks. It can provide some protection against difficult merge conflicts when a user is making radical changes to many sections of a large file (or group of files). However, if the files are left exclusively locked for too long, other developers may be tempted to bypass the revision control software and change the files locally, leading to more serious problems.
Version merging[edit]
Most version control systems allow multiple developers to edit the same file at the same time. The first developer to "check in" changes to the central repository always succeeds. The system may provide facilities to merge further changes into the central repository, and preserve the changes from the first developer when other developers check in.
Merging two files can be a very delicate operation, and usually possible only if the data structure is simple, as in text files. The result of a merge of two image files might not result in an image file at all. The second developer checking in code will need to take care with the merge, to make sure that the changes are compatible and that the merge operation does not introduce its own logic errors within the files. These problems limit the availability of automatic or semi-automatic merge operations mainly to simple text based documents, unless a specific merge plugin is available for the file types.
The concept of a reserved edit can provide an optional means to explicitly lock a file for exclusive write access, even when a merging capability exists.
Baselines, labels and tags[edit]
Most revision control tools will use only one of these similar terms (baseline, label, tag) to refer to the action of identifying a snapshot ("label the project") or the record of the snapshot ("try it with baseline X"). Typically only one of the terms baseline, label, or tag is used in documentation or discussion[citation needed]; they can be considered synonyms.
In most projects some snapshots are more significant than others, such as those used to indicate published releases, branches, or milestones.
When both the term baseline and either of label or tag are used together in the same context, label and tag usually refer to the mechanism within the tool of identifying or making the record of the snapshot, and baseline indicates the increased significance of any given label or tag.
Most formal discussion of configuration management uses the term baseline.
Distributed revision control[edit]
Distributed revision control systems (DRCS) take a peer-to-peer approach, as opposed to the client-server approach of centralized systems. Rather than a single, central repository on which clients synchronize, each peer's working copy of the codebase is a bona-fide repository.[5] Distributed revision control conducts synchronization by exchanging patches (change-sets) from peer to peer. This results in some important differences from a centralized system:
- No canonical, reference copy of the codebase exists by default; only working copies.
- Common operations (such as commits, viewing history, and reverting changes) are fast, because there is no need to communicate with a central server.[1]:7
Rather, communication is only necessary when pushing or pulling changes to or from other peers.
- Each working copy effectively functions as a remote backup of the codebase and of its change-history, providing inherent protection against data loss.[1]:4
Some of the more advanced revision-control tools offer many other facilities, allowing deeper integration with other tools and software-engineering processes. Plugins are often available for IDEs such as Oracle JDeveloper, IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse and Visual Studio. Delphi, NetBeans IDE, Xcode and GNU Emacs (via vc.el) come with integrated version control support.
Common vocabulary[edit]
Terminology can vary from system to system, but some terms in common usage include:[6]
- Baseline
- An approved revision of a document or source file from which subsequent changes can be made. See baselines, labels and tags.
- Branch
- A set of files under version control may be branched or forked at a point in time so that, from that time forward, two copies of those files may develop at different speeds or in different ways independently of each other.
- Change
- A change (or diff, or delta) represents a specific modification to a document under version control. The granularity of the modification considered a change varies between version control systems.
- Change list
- On many version control systems with atomic multi-change commits, a change list (or CL), change set, update, or patch identifies the set of changes made in a single commit. This can also represent a sequential view of the source code, allowing the examination of source "as of" any particular changelist ID.
- Checkout
- To check out (or co) is to create a local working copy from the repository. A user may specify a specific revision or obtain the latest. The term 'checkout' can also be used as a noun to describe the working copy.
- Clone
- Cloning means creating a repository containing the revisions from another repository. This is equivalent to pushing or pulling into an empty (newly initialized) repository. As a noun, two repositories can be said to be clones if they are kept synchronized, and contain the same revisions.
- Commit
- To commit (check in, ci or, more rarely, install, submit or record) is to write or merge the changes made in the working copy back to the repository. The terms 'commit' and 'checkin' can also be used as nouns to describe the new revision that is created as a result of committing.
- Conflict
- A conflict occurs when different parties make changes to the same document, and the system is unable to reconcile the changes. A user must resolve the conflict by combining the changes, or by selecting one change in favour of the other.
- Delta compression
- Most revision control software uses delta compression, which retains only the differences between successive versions of files. This allows for more efficient storage of many different versions of files.
- Dynamic stream
- A stream in which some or all file versions are mirrors of the parent stream's versions.
- Export
- exporting is the act of obtaining the files from the repository. It is similar to checking out except that it creates a clean directory tree without the version-control metadata used in a working copy. This is often used prior to publishing the contents, for example.
- Forward integration
- The process of merging changes made in the main trunk into a development (feature or team) branch.
- Head
- Also sometimes called tip, this refers to the most recent commit, either to the trunk or to a branch. The trunk and each branch have their own head, though HEAD is sometimes loosely used to refer to the trunk.[7]
- Import
- importing is the act of copying a local directory tree (that is not currently a working copy) into the repository for the first time.
- Initialize
- to create a new, empty repository.
- Interleaved deltas
- some revision control software uses Interleaved deltas, a method that allows to store the history of text based files in a more efficient way than by using Delta compression.
- Label
- See tag.
- Mainline
- Similar to trunk, but there can be a mainline for each branch.
- Merge
- A merge or integration is an operation in which two sets of changes are applied to a file or set of files. Some sample scenarios are as follows:
- A user, working on a set of files, updates or syncs their working copy with changes made, and checked into the repository, by other users.[8]
- A user tries to check in files that have been updated by others since the files were checked out, and the revision control software automatically merges the files (typically, after prompting the user if it should proceed with the automatic merge, and in some cases only doing so if the merge can be clearly and reasonably resolved).
- A branch is created, the code in the files is independently edited, and the updated branch is later incorporated into a single, unified trunk.
- A set of files is branched, a problem that existed before the branching is fixed in one branch, and the fix is then merged into the other branch. (This type of selective merge is sometimes known as a cherry pick to distinguish it from the complete merge in the previous case.)
- Promote
- The act of copying file content from a less controlled location into a more controlled location. For example, from a user's workspace into a repository, or from a stream to its parent.[9]
- Pull, push
- Copy revisions from one repository into another. Pull is initiated by the receiving repository, while push is initiated by the source. Fetch is sometimes used as a synonym for pull, or to mean a pull followed by an update.
- Repository
- The repository is where files' current and historical data are stored, often on a server. Sometimes also called a depot.
- Resolve
- The act of user intervention to address a conflict between different changes to the same document.
- Reverse integration
- The process of merging different team branches into the main trunk of the versioning system.
- Revision
- Also version: A version is any change in form. In SVK, a Revision is the state at a point in time of the entire tree in the repository.
- Share
- The act of making one file or folder available in multiple branches at the same time. When a shared file is changed in one branch, it is changed in other branches.
- Stream
- A container for branched files that has a known relationship to other such containers. Streams form a hierarchy; each stream can inherit various properties (like versions, namespace, workflow rules, subscribers, etc.) from its parent stream.
- Tag
- A tag or label refers to an important snapshot in time, consistent across many files. These files at that point may all be tagged with a user-friendly, meaningful name or revision number. See baselines, labels and tags.
- Trunk
- The unique line of development that is not a branch (sometimes also called Baseline, Mainline or Master)
- Update
- An update (or sync, but sync can also mean a combined push and pull) merges changes made in the repository (by other people, for example) into the local working copy. Update is also the term used by some CM tools (CM+, PLS, SMS) for the change package concept (see changelist). Synonymous with checkout in revision control systems that require each repository to have exactly one working copy (common in distributed systems)
- Working copy
- The working copy is the local copy of files from a repository, at a specific time or revision. All work done to the files in a repository is initially done on a working copy, hence the name. Conceptually, it is a sandbox.

Andrew Huxley, a British physiologist who shared the 1963 Nobel Prize with two other scientists for research on how nerve impulses are transmitted, died Wednesday at age 94.
Trinity College of Britain's University of Cambridge, where Mr. Huxley spent much of his academic life, announced his death but released no other details.
Mr. Huxley, who was the half-brother of writer Aldous Huxley and a member of a distinguished British scientific and literary family, was drawn to science at an early age.
He experimented with microscopes as a boy and, when he was 12, received a lathe that he used to build scientific instruments throughout his career.
He was in his early 20s when he began his research on the electrical and chemical processes that control the actions of muscles. He teamed with Alan L. Hodgkin, a fellow scholar at Trinity College, and began conducting experiments on nerve tissue from a giant squid.
After World War II, when both scientists were recruited to help with projects for the British war effort, they resumed their research on nerve impulses. They studied the giant squid because its axons, or nerve fibers, are much larger than those of other animals -- and hundreds of times larger than human neurons.
They inserted electrodes into the nerve cells and measured the electrical currents produced when the nerve was stimulated.
Through years of painstaking work and exacting calculations, Mr. Huxley developed the mathematical equations that explained how the nerve impulses travel through muscle fiber.
After Hodgkin and Mr. Huxley published their findings in 1952, an Australian scientist, John C. Eccles, used their principles to describe how nerve impulses are transmitted across synapses to other cells. All three scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1963.
The research of Hodgkin and Mr. Huxley proved to be a major advance in biochemistry and neurobiology. It became the basis for later work by other scientists that has led to a fuller understanding of diseases of the nervous system and the functioning of the kidneys and heart.
Later in his career, Mr. Huxley turned to the study of muscle contraction. He designed a microscope to examine the striation pattern of muscle fibers and developed key mathematical equations to describe biochemical processes and other forces that cause muscles to contract. He continued to do research until his final years.
Andrew Fielding Huxley was born Nov. 22, 1917, in the Hampstead section of London. He was the younger of two sons from his father's second marriage. (His brother became a lawyer and settled in New York City.)
His father, Leonard Huxley, was a schoolmaster, writer and magazine editor who had four children from his first marriage, including Aldous Huxley, the author of "Brave New World" and other works, and Julian Huxley, an evolutionary biologist who was the first director general of UNESCO -- the scientific and cultural arm of the United Nations -- and a founder of the World Wildlife Fund.
Leonard Huxley published a two-volume biography of his own father, Thomas Henry Huxley.
T.H. Huxley was a 19th-century scientist and writer who became known in the 1860s as "Darwin's bulldog" for his forceful advocacy of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.
He also coined the term "agnostic" to describe his religious beliefs -- or lack thereof.
Andrew Huxley received a bachelor's degree from Cambridge in 1939 and was beginning medical studies when he was called away during World War II to help develop antiaircraft weapons for the British military.
Mr. Huxley worked at Woods Hole, Mass., in 1953, and lectured at Johns Hopkins University medical school in 1959 and at Columbia University in 1964.
He became head of the physiology department at University College London in 1960.
After being elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1955, he served as president of the august British scientific organization from 1980 to 1985.
Mr. Huxley was knighted in1974 and received the British Order of Merit in 1983. He returned to Cambridge to serve as master of Trinity College from 1984 to 1990.

Lump in my tongue06/20/2006 |
Approximately 2 days ago, I woke up with my tongue feeling VERY sore. So looked in the mirror to see if I had an inflamed taste bud, but nothing was there, then I felt my tongue and noticed that on the tip there is a hard lump. It feels like it is the size of a corn kernal. It stopped hurting on the second day that I had it, but now it is beginning to hurt again. When I squeeze it, it becomes very painful.I have done a little research, but they all say that a lump means cancer, but cancer of the tongue, they say is on the outside not inside. Is this possible, I am a 22 year old female???
It is possible for a growth to appear in that area. I urge you to see a dentist or oral surgeon for this area to be examined very soon. They will be able to look at it clinically and make a diagnosis.

JP Morgan Ups Bristol-Myers Squibb to Overweight
JP Morgan upgraded Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY) to overweight from underweight, citing news late Tuesday that the pharmaceutical company and Sanofi-aventis (SNY) settled with Canadian generic drug maker Apotex over a patent lawsuit.
The suit, which is still subject to Federal Trade Commission approval, relates to the validity of a patent for the blood-thinning medication Plavix.
Analyst Chris Shibutani says the news lifts (albeit not yet definitively) a big uncertainty that had been overhanging the stock's value. The analyst says shares can now better reflect the company's improving business trends. JP Morgan says investors can focus on factors such as the company's attractive new product Orencia and other opportunities.

Johannesburg - Publishing photos of paralympian Oscar Pistorius during his court appearance was a mistake, the SA National Editors Forum (Sanef) said on Saturday.
Sanef chairman Nic Dawes said there was no intention to contravene a court order prohibiting the taking of photographs during the athletes' first court appearance on Friday.
"There seemed to have been confusion regarding the court ruling on the covering of the case," Dawes said.
This comes after some newspapers published photos of Pistorius crying in court on their front pages on Saturday.
Magistrate Desmond Nair had ruled against live broadcasts of the matter on Friday.
Sound recordings of the arguments and judgment were allowed but photographs could only be taken before or after court proceedings.
Images of Pistorius covering his face with his hands as he cried, were taken during proceedings, which was a contravention of Friday's ruling.
Dawes said the publications had acknowledged the error and had withdrawn the pictures from circulation.
Sanef did not support the publication of the pictures as it contravened Nair's ruling, he said.
"We are committed to an environment that permits free and fair reporting... and we also abide by the law," he said.
The organisation was meeting on Saturday to discuss the matter.
Pistorius's lawyer Kenny Oldwage refused on Saturday to comment on reports that he would take action against newspapers that published the pictures.
Earlier, EyeWitness News reported that Oldwage said he would address the matter at Pistorius's bail application in the Pretoria Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.
"I do not want to talk about this case or discuss it further anymore... do not call my number anymore," Oldwage told Sapa when contacted for comment.
Pistorius was arrested on Thursday after his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, a model, law graduate, and participant in the Tropika Island of Treasure television show, was shot dead in his home.
He was charged with murder at the Pretoria Magistrate's Court on Friday.
Pistorius remained in custody at the Brooklyn police station.
He was expected to make a formal bail application on Tuesday. - Sapa

Parkinson Disease and Movement Disorders Center: 617-726-5532
Parkinson's disease is the most common form of a group of motor system disorders known as parkinsonism. Our other areas of clinical expertise also include:
Evaluation, Diagnosis, Treatment & SupportOur patients have access to a robust range of evaluation and diagnostic services, such as lab tests, cognitive evaluation, brain imaging and surgical evaluation. Treatment and support services span the following:
Medication: Many different medications are available for Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders. No two patients react the same way to a medication. We have extensive experience in adjusting medication regimens to alleviate symptoms while minimizing side effects.
Surgery: Based on the patient's medical profile and severity of condition, surgery may help with symptoms of Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders (particularly tremor and rigidity). We perform two types of surgeries:
Complementary and supportive therapies: We offer a number of other therapies, including nutrition, exercise, physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy.
Building on a Rich HistoryThe Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Center is one of four entities comprising the Mass General Movement Disorders Unit. Our hospital has a long history of conducting research into Parkinson's disease and caring for patients with this and other movement disorders. Robert Schwab, MD, laid the groundwork for the Movement Disorders Unit in the 1940s when he published his first research paper on Parkinson's disease.
John Growdon, MD, serves as director of both the Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Center and the Movement Disorders Unit. His clinical interests include the cognitive and behavioral aspects of Parkinson's disease and related disorders. Our staff includes over a dozen neurologists who specialize in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and movement disorders.
Mass General has earned the prestigious qualification of Center of Excellence from the National Parkinson Foundation (NPF). In addition, our clinic's physicians serve on advisory committees for national private organizations such as the NPF, Michael J. Fox Foundation and Parkinson's Disease Foundation.
Our neurosurgeons use deep brain stimulation (DBS) to treat patients with a wide variety of movement disorders. DBS involves implanting an electrode in the brain to interrupt and stimulate nerve activity. Our center uses the most advanced stereotactic technology, microelectrode recordings, for optimal lead positioning and the best patient outcome. The most common movement disorder we treat is Parkinson's disease. Other disorders that can be treated using deep brain stimulation include Essential tremor and Dystonia.
Mass General was one of the first hospitals to perform DBS and today we also use it to treat many different types of Dystonia which include:
Parkinson's disease (PD or, simply, Parkinson's) is a slowly progressing, degenerative disease that is associated with symptoms such as tremor or trembling of the arms, jaw, legs and face, stiffness or rigidity of the limbs and trunk, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), postural instability or impaired balance and coordination.

Monterrey Dance-Rock Band Finally Hits Its Stride
The Mexican band Kinky has always been an intriguing band…and a slightly frustrating one. They have always been capable of coming up with likeable and danceable—and licenseable—tunes at a moment's notice; their very first record featured "Más," which is still played on TV shows and in video games all over the place.
But all the best jams on that first album were tempered with boring exercises in downtempo alt.rock. Each of the other records since then have stuck to the same template: big songs mixed with minor ones, an inability to commit to either raising hell or changing direction. Following them has been a slightly frustrating experience—were these albums really underachieving, or was I simply asking too much from Kinky and should just shut up and dance when they let me?
The issue has been resolved with Sueño de la Machina, their first LP in three years. Here, all the questions have been resolved, or at least swept aside by their emerging popcraft… or maybe I'm not such a tightass anymore, that's also a possibility.
But this record is just flat-out fun from beginning to end, even when the tempos slow down. They've nailed the formula, to stunning effect. The squelchy synthesizer hooks of "Perfecta", which might once have dominated the entire song, soon fade into the background, replaced by crooning, loosely-rapped verses, anthemic sections, and an introspective bridge—all punctuated with Omar Góngora's muscular drum fills.
The splendidly-named "Tripolar" does the same thing, except that it starts as a straight-up New Order rip and transmogrifies into a twisted reggaetón/cumbia hybrid. "Alma de Neón" hauls out the big fat synth Dead or Alive hooks, combining them with snarling guitar from Carlos Chairez. There's even a chaotic bit about two-thirds of the way through that reminds me of early Roxy Music.
(Actually, if there is even a little bit of a criticism here, it's that Kinky might do a bit better to hide their jacks and "influences"—but that is the kind of caviling that would have come from the younger me. Older me doesn't really care. Too busy dancing.)
On top of it all, of course, are Gil Cerezo's soaring vocals. Cerezo can do a number of things with his voice, including hit some damned fine falsetto. This time around, he seems to have learned about it a bit more as an instrument rather than just a way to communicate lyrics. This is literally true on "Intoxícame", where his tones are seized by the keyboards and flipped, dub-style, into instrumental stings. (Not sure the dubstep excursions of "Control" are a great sign, though.)
All in all, not a radical departure for Kinky—excellent opener "Inmóvil" could have appeared on Atlas or Barracuda. But a couple of these tracks, like the late-game barnburner "Se Borró la Noche" with its big ol' breakdowns, seem to indicate that Kinky still have some cool new ideas to offer us. Better wake up and stop trying to pretend that Brooklyn is the be-all and end-all, norteamericanos; you're gonna miss all the fun.

Every Holiday Season we get many questions about tipping: how much, who, when, gifts or cash? One of the trickier questions has to do with who. The answer is simple: people who have provided a service for you and to whom you want to show appreciation. That, after all, is what tipping is about. There is another guideline that helps – generally speaking we don't tip professionals: doctors, nurses, lawyers, teachers, and dentists. However, it is certainly reasonable that you might want to give any of those folks a gift when the service they have provided was especially meaningful. Many children want to give a gift to their teacher. While giving a cash tip to a teacher is not appropriate, involving your child in giving a gift makes perfect sense. Two points to keep in mind:
- First, check out school policies. Some schools have strict policies around gift giving and you don't want to put the teacher in a difficult position.
- This is not a time for spending a large sum of money. The point of this gift is to engage your child in giving, to show the teacher how much you appreciate what she/he does all year long and to express a sense of caring.
It's only natural that children want to give gifts to their teachers: after all, they spend hours every week with them. But what gifts can they give? Here are some suggestions. But don't limit yourself to these: they are simply ideas. Also, talk with your child. After all, it's their gift to their teacher.
- A gift of cookies, homemade jellies, jams or salsa packaged in holiday wrapping with a card written by the student is always appreciated.
- With digital cameras, it's easy and fun to take photos, make and decorate a cardboard frame, put names and dates on the back, and give to the teacher to enjoy.
- A small plant or good luck bamboo in a small vase brightens up their desk and the classroom for the rest of the year.
- A mug full of jell beans or an individual pack of hot chocolate mix. Add a candy cane for a special mint hot chocolate treat. If the teacher has been in the business for fifteen years, they may already have a zillion mugs, but a new teacher may be just starting their collection.
- If you know of a special interest the teacher has, shop for an ornament or box of note cards that reflects it.
Wrap any gift in festive paper and help your child write a note to go with the gift. If they are too young to write, have them color the message part of the card and "sign" their name. Before the day gets started at school or after school, go with your child to see the teacher and help them give the gift. That way you can share the experience and joy of giving together.
One idea for you, the parent. Add your own note of holiday cheer and appreciation. It's a gift from you that means a great deal to the teacher who gives to your child everyday.

hello : )
with my patch, I have lots of toggles and flonum number boxes and audio meters etc. The whole patch is on one page with no sub \\\\\\\"patcher\\\\\\\"s as I like to see everything on one page.
When the patch is on and my monitor has a heavy populated section of modules and wires on the screen the CPU shoots up to 70%- 90+%. However when I zoom to an empty part of the screen the CPU goes way low down to 10% or less.
I have a cheap graphics card on this machine and the CPU is a P4 D 3.2ghz dual core running at 800mz buss. This seems to be graphics related, I wonder would a faster/ higher memory graphics card help the situation? Or is it just the CPU/buss trying to cope with my patch? My other alternative is to make some sub- patchers, but that could be a nightmare with the size of my patch and the time i have. So I was hoping for a quick fix like a component upgrade perhaps? ( although i am maxed out on my motherboard / no OC capabilities) the graphics is the only thing that can be upgraded.
thanks for any help. : )

Link Shown Between Crohn's Disease And Virus
A new study reveals that all children with Crohn's disease that were examined had a commonly occurring virus - an enterovirus - in their intestines. This link has previously not been shown for this chronic inflammatory intestinal disorder. The findings are being published today in the latest issue of the international journal Clinical and Translational Gastroenterology.
These findings need to be confirmed in larger studies, but they are important, as this connection has never been pointed out before. This paves the way for a better understanding of what might be involved in causing the disease, says Alkwin Wanders, one of the scientists behind the study at Uppsala University and Uppsala University Hospital.
In Sweden several thousand adults live with Crohn's disease, and each year about 100 children and adolescents develop the disorder. The disease affects various parts of the gastrointestinal system and causes symptoms such as stomach aches, diarrhea, and weight loss - in severe cases fistulas, or strictures in the intestines.The cause of Crohn's disease is not known. Mutations in more than 140 genes have been shown to be associated with the disorder, but this genetic connection is not a sufficient explanation. Many of these genes play key roles in the immune defense, which has prompted theories that the disease might be caused by impaired immune defense against various microorganisms. In that case, the disease would be a consequence of interplay between heredity and environment.
Recent research has shown that some of the genes that are strongly linked to the disorder are important for the immune defense against a certain type of viruses that have their genetic material in the form of RNA, so-called RNA viruses. Using this as a point of departure, an interdisciplinary research team was established in Sweden to investigate what role this type of virus plays in the disease.
The research team includes the pediatrician Niklas Nystrom, the pathologist Alkwin Wanders, virus researchers Gun Frisk and Oskar Skog, the molecular biologist Mats Nilsson, and the geneticist Ulf Gyllensten at Uppsala University and Uppsala University Hospital, along with cell biologists Jonas Fuxe and Tove Berg the pediatrician Yigael Finkel at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm.
This unique composition, with complementary clinical and scientific expertise, has been extremely fruitful for our studies, says Alkwin Wanders.
In the present study the researchers investigated whether the RNA virus were present in children with Crohn's disease. They focused in particular on the prevalence of enteroviruses, a group of RNA viruses that are known to infect the intestinal mucous lining.
The results showed significant amounts of enteroviruses in the intestines of all of the children with Crohn's disease, whereas the control group had no or only minimal amounts of enteroviruses in their intestines. Similar results were obtained using two different methods. Enteroviruses were found not only in intestinal mucous linings but also in so-called nerve cell ganglia in deeper segments of the intestinal wall. Receptors for a group of enteroviruses were also found in both the intestinal mucous linings and nerve cell ganglia, which may explain how the virus can make its way into the nerve system in the intestine.
Another interesting finding is that the enterovirus could be thought to be stored in nerve cells in the intestine and to spread to different parts of the intestine via nerve fibers. This would explain both the fact that the disease is periodic (comes and goes) and the fact that it often affects multiple segments of the intestines, says Alkwin Wanders.
The present study comprises nine children with advanced Crohn's disease and fifteen children with incipient Crohn's disease symptoms. The research now wants to go on to examine larger groups of patients and more control individuals. They also want to pursue experimental research to investigate the link further.

"I think in many ways some of the things Google has been doing lately might be rooted in a need to be an innovative, creative company trying new things," Reitman said. "However, the significant effects of these things on privacy can be quite extraordinary. Because so many people rely on them for services, it will affect millions of people. I think we have to hold companies that have this much data to a higher standard."
The services will no longer be available to anyone who doesn't agree to the new policies but Internet users are not totally helpless and can take control of their own Google data protection by following a few useful tips.
Deactivate your web protocol: Google uses a so-called web protocol to personalize search results and ads. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) recommends users delete and deactivate their web history at http://google.com/history.
EFF Senior Staff Attorney discusses Google's new privacy policy with reporter Mike Taibbi on NBC Nightly News.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation called on Google today to include a Do Not Track option in Chrome, an option all the other major browsers provide, and for Google sites to respect Do Not Track requests from those other browsers.
Google does hand over user data in response to government requests on a regular basis, as noted in the company's Transparency Report. The EFF notes that disabling Web History "does not change the fact that any information gathered and stored by Google could be sought by law enforcement."
Digital rights group Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) said, "This protection was especially important because search data can reveal particularly sensitive information about you, including facts about your location, interests, age, sexual orientation, religion, health concerns, and more."
The digital rights group, Electronic Frontier Foundation, wants users to be aware of the potential threat to privacy.
Eva Galperin of the Electronic Frontier Foundation has compiled a step-by-step guide to deleting and disabling your Web History, which includes the searches you've done and sites you've visited.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has a handy description (screenshots and everything!) of how exactly to do that. It's on my to-do list for this afternoon.
This is a guest post from Eva Galperin of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
If you want to keep Google from combining your Web History with the data they have gathered about you in their other products, such as YouTube or Google Plus, you may want to remove all items from your Web History and stop your Web History from being recorded in the future.

TITLE: Uptake of Cystatin by Melanoma Cells in Culture
AUTHORS: Lauren Deady, James L. Cox
KEYWORDS: Cystatin; Melanoma; Endocytosis; Fluorescent
JOURNAL NAME: CellBio, Vol.2 No.2, June 5, 2013
ABSTRACT: The cystatins are a super family of cysteine protease inhibitors which are ubiquitous in their biologic occurrence. Cystatin C, a type II cystatin, is primarily a secreted protein found in most biological fluids. Besides acting as inhibitors of cathepsin, the cystatins have been found to have some non-inhibitor related functions and multiple physiological roles. Much interest has been generated for the cystatins as metastasis "suppressor-like" proteins, as they have been shown to inhibit metastasis for multiple cancer types. The sites and actions of the cystatins related to tumor suppressor actions are still unclear, however. In this work, we have examined the uptake of cystatin by metastatic melanoma cells in culture. Our results indicate cystatin uptake is mediated by a non-canonical endocytotic pathway in B16 murine melanoma cells.

Saints March Over the Bears, Win 30-13
Posted on 18 Sep 2011 by Debbie Baratz.
For all the great strides made by the Chicago Bears in Week 1, Week 2 was six steps back for the team. The Bears started out strong with an eight-yard touchdown pass by quarterback Jay Cutler to rookie wide receiver Dane Sanzenbacher in the first quarter. It was his first NFL touchdown. The New Orleans Saints also scored in the quarter with a field goal and quickly grabbed their first touchdown...

Falcons Fail to Fly, Bears Dominant in 30-12 Win
Posted on 11 Sep 2011 by Debbie Baratz.
On Sunday with all eyes on Jay Cutler, the Chicago Bears didn't disappoint and beat the visiting Atlanta Falcons 30-12. It was a much-needed win for a team that was the topic of conversation in the offseason, especially Cutler. He gave friends and foes a lot to talk about after he completed 22 of 32 passes, 312 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Yes, Cutler had four sacks but he had a...

Who's Our No. 1? Roy Williams Job in Jeopardy
Posted on 27 Aug 2011 by Kamil Kolodziejski.
CHICAGO – As a Chicago Bear, Roy Williams has yet to catch a pass in a preseason game. As a result, Williams finds himself in a position battling for the number one spot with Johnny Knox. Usually, a battle for position distinguishes someone becoming strong and good enough to compete for the starting role, but this situation is different.

Five Things We Learned in the Chicago Bears' 41-13 NY Giants Loss
Posted on 23 Aug 2011 by Debbie Baratz.
While it's only the preseason, Monday night's game against the NY Giants was still a loss. It wasn't last year's game with nine Cutler sacks in the first half and a concussion, but it was still a game that many Bears fans most likely turned off by the fourth (um o.k, may the third) quarter. Even Lovie Smith, who usually never says anything negative had this to say about Monday night's performan...

RHP Austin DeCarr (6-3 215) of Foxboro, MA has committed to Clemson. DeCarr revealed his pledge on Twitter and drew offers from other ACC, Big Ten and Big East schools. Here is the PerfectGame.com scouting report on DeCarr:
Lean athletic build, good strength potential, projects well. Big leg raise delivery, hands stay low, leans off plate at release, doesn't repeat release point. Primary fastball pitcher, topped out at 86 mph, very consistent cutting action. Soft curveball due to delivery/release, might be better off with a true slider, developing change up. Has prospect tools as a third baseman. Very good raw arm strength, long actions and release but shows athletic ability. Loose extended right handed swing, stays inside well, drives the ball to the gaps, squares it up, could develop serious power. Follow as a two-way prospect. Good student.
DeCarr is the seventh commitment for Clemson's 2014 class and the first righthander.

Two conductors find harmony in anarchic work
Earle Brown is Jackson Pollock in sound: random, scattered, shocking, surprising, messy, anarchic, free, expressive and abstract.
It is now known that during the cold war the CIA secretly promoted Pollock's 'abstract expressionist' art worldwide as part of a covert cultural offensive against the Soviet Union - Pollock's outrageous random paint slashes and scattered dots being seen as representations of the total personal freedom only to be found in the west.
Brown's musical compositions were directly influenced by Pollock and the composer, who died in 2002, was so concerned with personal freedom that he often hesitated to impose a musical score on the musicians playing his works.
Last week at London's Purcell Room there was a chance to hear Brown's Event-Synergy 11, a suitably anarchic signature work by one of the fathers of American musical experimentation. Brown's piece was performed by Lontano, an established group that champions the work of radical names in contemporary music.
The musical director and conductor of Lontano is the flamboyant Cuban-born, American-raised and London-based Odaline de la Martinez, the first woman to conduct a BBC Promenade concert at the Royal Albert Hall.
In her dark, well-tailored man's suit and sporting a brightly bleached fringe at the front of her short, black hair, Martinez exuded a zestful confidence. Event-Synergy 11 is a dialogue between two groups of musicians, each with their own conductor. On one side of the stage stood Martinez with her trusty band of string players - violins, viola, cello - and on the other side was American composer Daniel Asia conducting the wind section - bassoon, flute, oboe, horn and clarinet.
Three of Asia's works had made up the first part of the evening. Asia's work is widely performed and admired in the US and this concert was an opportunity for a London audience to listen to a composer still little known on their side of the Atlantic.
Asia's music is warm and accessible, as is the man, and the musical dialogue that ensued between Martinez's strings and Asia's wind in Event-Synergy 11 seemed as much about the musical expression of two contrasting personalities as an exploration of musical dialogue.
Martinez dominated her small band of strings, urging them on with imperative arm gestures as she abruptly changed scores, turned up the volume and stopped and started again at will. From time to time she shot a wry, challenging look at Asia who smiled back gamely if wanly.
The result was an enjoyable piece of visual musical theatricality and an absorbing musical event in which an only partially predetermined piece of music was created.
Asia's work in the first half, in contrast to Brown's, was more orthodox, his neo-tonal musical lines were warm, pleasing and easy to follow.
The first half of Sacred Songs was based on a traditional Hebrew Aramaic prayer, and the second half was centred on Psalm 96.
The lyrical singing and fluent orchestral accompaniment made for easy listening that was perhaps a little too easy for its spiritual subject matter.

According to AAP spokesperson Pankaj Shukla, some Congress workers damaged their party's campaign vehicle and beat up AAP activists near a petrol pump in Tikaria industrial area under Gauriganj police station here.
SHO (Gauriganj) Ratan Singh said that he is looking into the matter. Reacting to the incident, AAP candidate from Amethi Kumar Vishwas told PTI that Congress workers are "disappointed" with the election response and are now resorting to hooliganism.
"Congress has lost the election and in disappointment has come to gundagardi (hooliganism). I will go to Election Commission with my complaints," Vishwas said. He also alleged that "police is under heavy pressure (from Congress) and not cooperating with AAP even on ground."
No Congress leader was available for comment on the incident.

With Obamacare, switching isn't easy
Over the past six months, your Obamacare questions have steadily piled up in my inbox. Now, "steadily" is a description I can only think back fondly on. These days, words such as "barrage" or "deluge" are more fitting.
At last count, I tallied more than 800 comments and queries. And the pace has accelerated since enrollment began on Oct. 1 for Covered California health exchange plans and the Medi-Cal expansion.
Many of you are lobbing urgent questions at me about signing up. That's why today I'm including a few I have addressed in previous columns, with some important new details that have emerged. Open enrollment is upon us, and these are answers you need to know now.
Q. Do I have to give up my Medi-Cal and sign up for Obamacare? (Dear reader, this question – and the answer below – applies to people with different kinds of insurance as well, so please read on.)
A. Bob, take your hand off that health insurance application. I repeat: Take your hand off that health insurance application.
The Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, requires most people to carry a minimum level of health insurance starting in January, with some limited exceptions. Those who don't comply must pay a tax penalty.
However – and this is very important – if you have Medicare or Medicaid (called Medi-Cal in California) or certain types of coverage for veterans (which I will get into in an upcoming column); if you receive health coverage through your employer; or if you purchase coverage on the open market, you comply with the requirement and won't have to pay the penalty.
So, please, Bob and others, remember that you are covered. Don't let someone talk you into buying more insurance.
Q. If I choose, say, Blue Cross during open enrollment and then in six months decide to switch carriers, will I be able to do that or do I have to stick with the carrier?
A. Sorry to say, the door to buying or switching health insurance closes after open enrollment.
As I've mentioned before, some open enrollment rules change under Obamacare. For people purchasing insurance from Covered California or on the open market, the open enrollment period for individual and family plans will last six months this first year, from Oct. 1 through March 31, 2014. In subsequent years, it will last from Oct. 15 through Dec. 7.
So, if you sign up for a health plan but have second thoughts, you can switch until the end of open enrollment, says Anne Gonzales of Covered California. However, if you've already paid your monthly premium and want to switch, you will have to quickly dis-enroll and enroll in the new plan within a certain time frame to avoid a gap in coverage, she says.
"They can drop their coverage" after open enrollment, she adds, "but then won't be able to re-enroll until the next open enrollment period."
For those of you with job-based insurance, Medi-Cal or Medicare, the open enrollment periods are different.
Q. I understand the government will subsidize health insurance plans for individuals and families if their incomes qualify. Would you please define "income?" Is it gross income, adjusted gross income or something else? Is there a line for it on IRS form 1040?
A. It's – surprise, surprise! – something else: Modified Adjusted Gross Income, known as MAGI, which will be used to determine eligibility for tax credits offered by Covered California as well as Medi-Cal (in most cases).
For most of you, MAGI will be the same thing as adjusted gross income, as found on your 1040 federal income tax forms. There is no line for MAGI itself.
Of course, it's not always that easy. Technically, MAGI is adjusted gross income plus tax-exempt Social Security benefits, tax-exempt interest and tax-exempt foreign income.
Please note that some common sources of income are not counted toward MAGI. These include Supplemental Security Income (SSI), veterans' disability payments, workers' comp and child support, says Laurel Lucia, an Affordable Care Act expert at the UC Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education.
One more thing: If you have a dependent you claim on your taxes, but that dependent also earns enough money to be required to file taxes (such as a college student with a job), you have to include that dependent's MAGI in your own, according to The Tax Institute at H&R Block. Having that extra income in your MAGI may affect your eligibility and the amount of your subsidy.
Oh, and just in case you're tempted to Google "MAGI" for more information, beware that there are different definitions of MAGI for different tax purposes, according to the institute. Make sure you're looking at Obamacare's MAGI definition.
Happy calculating.

I know that he took off from here and went over to romdroidhacks, but he's disappeared from there now too. I guess he deleted his twitter account and went underground, anyone have a way to get ahold of him? We've all been trying to find him over there but not having any luck. Were all pretty down about it, he was an awesome dev. Its a really big loss to this community. No offense mybearfish or papi92, liked your roms too
It's always good to have a lot of developers so we can have a bunch of roms to choose from and they can share info. It's a loss if he is really gone even though I don't use his roms because whenever I flash an AOKP/CM based rom I lose spelling suggestions.
Hopefully you get better soon. And don't let some dude discourage you from doing your work and participating in the forums.

Shastri Backs Dhoni To Continue As Captain
Newly-appointed Indian cricket team Director Ravi Shastri who has been handed the task of overseeing a struggling Indian cricket side which had faced a humiliating 1-3 defeat against England in the Test series, speaks exclusively with TIMES NOW in his first TV interview after taking charge of Team India. Shastri says he will oversee all the cricketing matters for the ODI series in England, and will ensure that everything runs smoothly. Shastri tears into the team's performance in England, goes on to say that MS Dhoni's defensive captaincy hurt India, and that this overseas series is Dhoni's toughest challenge ever. However, the former captain says Dhoni is the only boss of the team at present. Shastri also says his new position would not in anyway affect coach Duncan Fletcher's role.

talk about a makeover! writer and editor leah hennen undertook one heck of a before & after with the renovation of circa 1939 home's attic. because both leah and her husband are on the tall side (lucky), their attic space was best suited to their young daughter. after some pretty incredible renovation they created the perfect work/sleep/art studio space for their daughter. oh man, this sort of makeover makes me want to buy a fixer upper and get started! thanks to leah for sharing- you can click here to read her full post about the project and see more photos.
[leah's attic space "before". yikes!]
[improved, but empty, space]
[the new corner bedroom]
What a beautiful space! Those small circular rugs are so great. Anybody know where I can find them? Thanks!
What a lovely place to be a little girl.
I am totally willing to revert to childhood, including going through the horrors of junior high a second time, if it means I can live in this room.
Or more seriously: such a beautiful result!
What a great created space,especially like the added skylights,beyond the light,bright,and airy saying….!
wow! what a beautiful space for the imagination to grow! the stuffed animals tucked into the ledge are too cute.
Great post! I have being thinking of converting my bungalow's attic and this gives me a good idea for keeping the roof versus removing it. Thanks!
Truly beautiful! I wish I had a bedroom/artroom like that when I was younger! We have a 1938 house with a huge attic I would love to renovate. I read her blog and I had no idea you could hire an architect by the hour. Good to know : )
Good job Leah – nothing like vertical light from skylights to improve an attic space – looks so fresh and cool!
wow! that looks so incredible.
*Wow*! That's such an amazing and beautiful change!! I love those floors.
WOW! the transformation of your attic is just unreal! Thanks for sharing your eye for design!!
My god, that transformation is about as stunning as turning lead into gold… Can she do my place? :P
That dress is beautiful too…
wow. amazing. ever since i can remember i was always fascinated by having an attic room, especially as a kid. this is just that and then some.
Incredible! Where did she get those fun pom-poms hanging above the bed?
omg i love the puffy balls hanging from th eceiling. have been trying to find some forever. the closest i got were chinies red ones that are plastic, but they look cheap and tacky. anyone know where i can find sth similar?
Thanks -
Hey — what a beautiful space! I'm hunting for some small circular rugs like the ones in the last photo. Can anybody tell me where they came from?
Love it! Where are those blue swirl circle rugs from?
Thanks, everyone!
We got the circular rugs at IKEA for like $5 each — they're actually bathmats! IKEA doesn't seem to sell this particular swirly design any more, but they do have solid colored circular mats that you can use to similar effect: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20122661
The pom-poms are from Cargo in Portland, OR: http://www.cargoinc.com/
Other resources listed here: http://morewaystowastetime.blogspot.com/2008/06/house-in-progress-attic-to-aerie.html
All the best,
Look's like Leah was/is a Cal athlete. Go Bears!
Fantastic transformation. I think you can get those little rugs from Ikea, possibly not in the same colours though.
Wow! This is my childhood dream room.
Beautiful! We are getting ready to buy a house whose attic is identical to the 'before' picture, and this just gives me so much hope! Thank you.
Beautiful transformation. Did you have to raise the roof for this renovation?
Amazing! looks light and cosy!
Cadmium Red ,
We opted not to raise the roof at this time — that would have required a lot more engineering and a lot more $$$ — which is why the room is better suited to our 4-foot-something daughter than to us!
I read on a blog that the rugs are actually ikea bath rugs. I looked on the site but couldn't find that actual design. I might not have looked properly, or the design could be phased out already.Great idea though.
Fantastic! One of the best makeovers I've ever seen.
I love all the light and white. Just lovely -
great attic space… I wonder if my attic space could be converted like this… hmmm
I've been wanting to do this to my attic-this is great inspiration!
we are wanting to do this at our casa! we don't have a staircase to our attic…just pull down stairs…did you have to put one in or was it existing? p.s. cargo is one of my favorite places in the whole world!!! -
Hi Blake,
We had an existing staircase to the space, luckily enough. Having to locate and build stairs would have made the project much more complex.
The room looks gorgeous!! I love the circular rugs and the bold colors! I've done something similar for my daughter with lots of pink!! I got her the Rose rug at elegantlinenspc.com/Luxury-Bath-Rugs.htm – We are very excited!
How beautiful! We're remodeling our attic right now too, and this is inspiring. Great job!!
We have the same small circular rugs, and they came from Ikea. They're really cheap and we love them!
WOW this is so lovely makes me want to talk my parents into renovating their attic – they could really use the extra space
