Amazing Deviants: @IrrevocableFate (20)Welcome to the 20th edition of Amazing Deviants! Today, I have a wonderful deviant to share with you. She's a new CV, and she's a wonderful person. But, you don't have to take my world for it. Here is her interview!:iconIrrevocableFate:Hi IrrevocableFate! Why don't you tell us a little something about yourself? Hello! ♥ I'm Stephany, I am 23 years old and I am one of four Literature CV's (neurotype, GrimFace242, and ShadowedAcolyte are the others who are all awesome, by the way) and I love cats, specifically mine. I also adore the Power Rangers, my ducky umbrella, Pokemon, puns, reading, and getting DD suggestions!Who are some of
Welcome to dA! FeatureI wanted to do something for the whole of the dA community. I have decided to start a "Welcome to dA! Feature" in which deviations from the recent (0 months to 1 year) members of the community have submitted to their galleries. I want to give them some exposure since they have joined to show their pride as all of us had done when we first joined. This feature is the first in a long run of many features. New deviants and new pieces will be placed together every month.Month: November Theme: N/A
Amazing Deviants (9) : chromeantennaeEdition 9 of my Amazing Deviants interviews! Wow, nine already --- I love giving interviews to people who deserve them. Today, we have chromeantennae. He's an amazing writer and a wonderful person to talk to. I'm happy to be able to interview him. :iconchromeantennae: Tell us about yourself!Well, I'm Ricky Alaniz otherwise known as chromeantennae! What I do around here is mainly post my poetry. I'm a pretty simple guy overall and it doesn't take all that much to please me. Good music, good people, and good food are all I really need! Lol! I also really try to make sure I'm the nicest, most altruistic person I can be. Both here on deviantART and the "real world." Where did your userna
Thank you! FeatureI will have this feature for all my watchers. It'll be updated periodically, so it won't be updated until I feel like updating it once more. I'll feature 8 watchers per feature. I'll feature three of their works underneath their names.IntroductionI appreciate all my watchers, so I thought I'd give back in some way. Other deviants do the these watcher features, so I thought I'd give it a try. Every so often, I'll feature a certain amount of watchers. I'm starting from the bottom (first ever watchers) up. Thank you!:iconStarryLadii: :iconPrimlet: :iconGamblers-Choice: :iconBryianzum: :iconSelimeia:
Feature of Photography (2)The second volume of Feature of Photography is here. I haven't been that active lately, and I thought I'd do another one of this type of feature since the other one was a success. I will do these once a month, but they won't have a set schedule of when appearing during the new month. I'll also be using different journal skins for each volume. It's exciting, no? Anyway, enough of my chitchat. I give you ... Feature of Plants
Amazing Deviants (10) : MagicalJoeyThe 10th edition of "Amazing Deviants" is here! In this interview, we'll be exploring with MagicalJoey. She's a wonderful person that is helpful to everybody throughout the literature community. She deserved some recognizance. MagicalJoey has definitely been a nice person since I have joined dA. :iconMagicalJoey:Tell us about yourself!My name is Jo, I am from South Africa, my address is...just kidding, though I am from SA and my name is Jo. I have been writing since I was 11, mainly poetry but I can write prose as well. I have completed a book which is in the 'edit and try save up enough money to publish it' stage and am working on another couple (I tend to get stuck at Chap 3 for some reason). I have never been published because it's darn difficult in SA.I critique poetry here on DA. I run two critique groups, SuperWritersHe
The Need for OthersOne of the many things that gets us through the day is encouragement from others. Other things are their acceptance and support. Somebody that is there to tell you that they're there for you no matter what. They tell you that you can do it, and you shouldn't stress over it too much. Encouragement is an important aspect of anybody's life (do not let them tell you otherwise). They may say they don't want the encouragement, the support, but they do want it. Maybe, they've been disappointed, and see they have to do it themselves. They have nobody else to rely on, and it is a horrible feeling. People have put them down so many times that they assume they are on their own. At some point, they'll stop trying to ask somebody for a little encouragement or support. Though, everybody needs others in their life. A life of being alone is not something humans can quite comprehend. We are social creatures. We form packs with leaders at
Birthday Shoutout! (9) @hypermagicalThe 9th Edition of Birthday Shoutout! is about to be revealed. Again, it has been a totally shock to me that hypermagical's birthday is today. I normally pay attention to the birthday thing in my message inbox. I've been extremely busy with classes, so I probably hadn't meant to overlook it. Anyway, I noticed it now, and I am raring to go with this feature for such a lovely person. Happy birthday! You are an awesome writer, and I am excited to have met you. Take a look through her gallery; you will not be disappointed. :iconhypermagical:
Amazing Deviants (7): Introducing Apoca-ChanI have another stunning deviant for all of you to enjoy! Apoca-Chan runs a few groups, and she is an avid artist. Also, remember, if you wish to suggest somebody to interview note me with a reason why they should be interviewed!:iconApoca-Chan: Tell us about yourself!What's there to tell really Haha. I like to draw, write and sew.I guess. I'm infamous for the giant squid plush i made and most of the time that's my conversations tarter, "I have a 9 foot squid plush I made at my house".I also love flower crowns and cute things.Where did your username stem from?Oh this one's easy; Apoca- It's an abbreviation of Apocalypse; Chan is because wtf not it sounds cute as hell.When did you start to 'art'?I started drawing 6 years ago, But I've sewn for 10.What would one find in your gallery?A lot of an

SunLink Health Systems Announces $9.975 Million Financing For Improvements At Trace Regional Hospital In Houston, MS, And For Partial Debt Refinancing
SunLink Health Systems, Inc. (NYSE:MKT: SSY) today announced that it closed a $9,975,000 loan for its Trace Regional Hospital in Houston, MS. Approximately $1,475,000 of the loan proceeds will be used to make improvements to the hospital and its medical office building, as well as for working capital and costs. The remaining net proceeds of approximately $8,500,000 were used to repay a portion of the company's senior debt. The loan was made by Stillwater National Bank and partially guaranteed under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development Business & Industry Program. The loan is repayable monthly over 15 years at a floating Prime Rate plus 1.5%. The loan is collateralized by the hospital, nursing home and medical office building real estate and equipment. SunLink was assisted in this transaction by B & I Capital Associates, Inc. and Capital Solutions, LLC.
Robert M. Thornton Jr., chairman and chief executive officer of SunLink, commented, "In addition to lowering our borrowing costs and improving our cash flow, this financing allows us to invest in improvements at this hospital, which is a strong healthcare institution in the community. This financing is also another step toward our objective of establishing longer debt maturities, which allow us greater operating flexibility and better position us to drive long-term value for our shareholders." Mr. Thornton continued, "This financing also underscores the confidence our financial partners have in our business model as we execute our strategy of investing in hospital subsidiaries which deliver quality, efficient medical care in each community they serve."
SunLink Health Systems, Inc. is the parent company of subsidiaries that operate hospitals and related businesses in the Southeast and Midwest, and a specialty pharmacy company in Louisiana. Each hospital is the only hospital in its community and is operated locally with a strategy of linking patients' needs with dedicated physicians and healthcare professionals to deliver quality efficient medical care. For additional information on SunLink Health Systems, Inc., please visit the company's website at www.sunlinkhealth.com.

Version Information
Related bugreports: #130295
Remote attackers can include local files which may lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
2. Impact Information
phpWebSite provides a complete web site content management system.
rgod has reported that the "hub_dir" parameter in "index.php" isn't properly verified. When "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled, this can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local ressources.
If "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled, which is not the default on Gentoo Linux, a remote attacker could exploit this issue to include and execute PHP scripts from local ressources with the rights of the user running the web server, or to disclose sensitive information and potentially compromise a vulnerable system.
3. Resolution Information
There is no known workaround at this time.
All phpWebSite users should upgrade to the latest available version:

Ok, so I did something stupid. I hide the key to my gun safe in a particular article of clothing, and that article of clothing was taken to goodwill a couple of weeks ago, as I discovered when I went to get my Kimber out so I could carry it the other day.
This leaves me with no access to any of my weapons (3 rifles, 3 handguns).
Anyone know if a locksmith can get into it, and possibly re-key it? And how much that would cost? It's a steel case that I bought at Sports Authority years ago for a couple hundred bucks. It's not one of the expensive fire-proof behemoths. It has 2 locks, one below the other that are opened by the same key. The key is kind of like a freezer key - it's round, not flat.
I'm so pissed. And no, I don't have the 2nd key. I lost that years ago.

Gourmet images on packaging and fancy-sounding ingredients make frozen pizzas seem more appealing. But do they taste any better and are they any healthier? CHOICE decided to test a range of frozen pizzas to see if they lived up to their enticing packaging.
We took spin down the pizza aisle of several supermarkets and noticed very few of the pizzas we looked at had old-style cheap, budget-looking frozen pizza packaging.
Instead, most offered artfully shot, luscious images of gourmet-style pizzas, with descriptions such as "mild goat's cheese with spinach, roasted mushrooms and juicy cherry tomatoes", "premium leg ham", "stone baked in a wood fired oven" or "only the finest ingredients".
Although these pizzas are mass produced in a factory (sometimes on the other side of the world), the boxes showed rustic wooden chopping blocks, with a glimpse of farm fresh ingredients in a rustic kitchen, a tasteful linen napkin or an enticing glass of red wine.
We recruited a team of enthusiastic, hungry tasters to see how gourmet a sample of Hawaiian and vegetarian frozen pizzas tasted. Sadly, the tasters' anticipation turned almost immediately to disappointment – and in some cases revulsion – once the tasting process began.
The topline response from the tasters was that the vegetarian pizzas were OK, but the Hawaiian pizzas were so dire they had some trouble picking a favourite.
Video: Frozen pizza review
Are frozen pizzas any better than they used to be?
The tasters were generally unenthused and struggled to pick a winner. Ultimately, When in Rome, the pizza with the highest kilojoules and fat was the best pizza at a budget price of $0.67 per 100g.
However, the vast majority of testers were united in their condemnation of the worst pizza, the Weight Watchers, which has the lowest kilojoules and saturated fat. It was also the most expensive at $3.59/100g and for the price, a measly 175g compared to 450g for the When In Rome.
Taste tester's comment about When In Rome: "This pizza won by a whisker, it's not great, but is the best of a bad bunch".
Taste testers' comments about Weight Watchers: "Barely fits into the pizza category"; "Foul artificial taste"; "Weird little shrunken pizza".
The vegetarian pizzas highlight the tendency for fancy marketing jargon on the box such as "wood-fired" and "Mediterranean". But our testers didn't pick up on these gourmet traits; instead, some were perplexed by what they called the "burnt taste" on the bottom of a "wood-fired" pizza.
Dr. Oetker Ristorante Spinaci came top and just like the vegetarian favourite, it has the highest fat and salt. It was the second most expensive ($1.79/100g) after the McCain Mediterranean ($2.25/100g) which also came a close second on taste.
The Coles When in Rome Margherita was voted worst pizza by an overwhelming majority and was the cheapest at $0.67/100g
Taste Tester's comments about Dr. Oetker Ristorante Spinaci: "Looked like a rabbit vomited on it, but was the best tasting one, with generous quantity of toppings." "Tastes like real spinach on top, nice and simple."
Taste Tester's comments about Coles When in Rome Margherita: "Gross, soggy, gluey, bland. Yuck." "Smelled, looked and tasted bad. Base was doughy and cheese flavourless."

With their high fat and salt content and low fibre levels, frozen pizzas are not exactly health food, but there are a few things to look for on the nutrition panel and ingredients list that can help you make a lighter choice.
Despite descriptors such as "super thin" or "regular", most frozen pizza crusts look quite similar. And they don't seem to make a big impact on the kJ content either. It's the toppings that seem to determine the pizzas' nutritional value.
There appears to be an increase in vegetarian frozen pizza choices in the supermarket, perhaps in a nod to healthier eating. While vegetarian pizzas can be better for you than meaty ones, if they're cheese-heavy it will add significant kilojoules. For a lighter choice, look for a pizza with more vegetables, and less meat and cheese.
Unsurprisingly, the Weight Watchers pizza we looked at was the lowest in kilojoules and saturated fat. However, with a whole one-serve pizza weighing in at a tiny 175g, it's almost a third of the size of the 500g pizzas. And at about 645kJ, they're more of a snack than a satisfying meal.
It's to be expected that most pizzas have a hefty fat content, but some have frankly terrifying amounts. If you eat a whole, one-serve Dr. Oetker Ristorante Mozzarella you'll be wolfing down 45.6g of total fat – that's more than three tablespoons. Ewww! For heart health watch out for saturated fat content on the nutrition panel.
When comparing nutritional values between pizzas, beware the "per serve" figures on the nutritional information panel – the suggested "serves" per pizza – don't reflect how many serves people actually eat.
Dr. Oetker was the only brand which recommended one serve per whole pizza - making it very easy to calculate how many kilojoules you've eaten by looking at the "per serve" column in the nutritional panel.
Most pizzas we looked at had suggested serving sizes ranging from four serves per pizza up to eight serves, which makes it much harder know what the kilojoule load is.
For example, if you have one 56g "serve" of When In Rome Hawaiian, you'd consume 545kJ. Realistically, an adult is more likely to eat at least two slices (two serves 1090kJ) or four slices (four serves 2180kJ).
A few men we asked said they'd easily eat one whole pizza (eight serves – 4360kJ) – that's half the suggested daily adult kilojoule intake of 8700kJ.
The "per 100g" figure on the nutritional panel is the best way to calculate how many kilojoules you've eaten – but remember to take into account the weight of the pizza. Eating half of a 500g pizza may be 500kJ more than eating half of a 400g pizza with the same amount of kilojoules.
Of the 50 pizzas CHOICE looked at:
If you eat half of McCain's Pepperoni pizza, you'd consume 1440mg of sodium, which is:
Like our tasters, Natasha Murray, accredited practising dietitian and spokesperson for the Dietitians Association of Australia, struggled to find any redeeming features of frozen pizzas.
"The same as most processed foods, frozen pizzas are high in fat and salt and low in fibre and vegetables. Even with vegetarian pizzas, you'd be lucky to get even one serve of veggies on a whole pizza, and the meat is generally poor quality," she says.
"Dietary guidelines advise you to limit processed foods, but if you do choose to eat a frozen pizza, add an extra serve of veggies as topping on the pizza and have it with a side salad."
McCain Foods is the leading frozen pizza producer with 64 per cent of the value share in the Australian frozen pizza market, but its share has been in decline due to tough competition from premium offerings from Dr. Oetker, as well as supermarket brands which have eroded the company's value share. *

Ungoogleable? Google tells Sweden 'ogooglebar' can't be a word.
Google asks Swedish Language Council to remove 'ogooglebar' – or ungoogleable, in English – from its list of new 2012 words.
Screen grab
Late last year, the Swedish Language Council published a report of words that had entered the Swedish lexicon in 2012. Among them was ogooglebar – ungoogleable, in English. This did not please Google. In fact, according to the Council (you'll need to enable Google Translate, unless you speak Swedish), Google promptly wrote representatives for the organization, and asked them to remove the word.
The Council duly fired back – "we decide together which words should be and how they are defined, used and spelled," reads a defiant post on the Council website – and the ensuring furor has made Ungoogleable Gate front page news even in the US. So what's Google's problem? Well, to put it simply, Google is worried that if everyone starts using the word "google" as a lower-case verb or noun, it will dilute the name.
As John C. Dvorak of PC Mag suggests today, an analogue here is Kleenex, which is a brand name, but which is often used to describe all tissue. (Other examples: Band-Aid or Xerox.) In fact, a few years ago, Kleenex embarked on its own campaign to make sure Kleenex is referred to correctly in the media. In an advertisement that still appears – in a slightly different form – in the Columbia Journalism Review, Kleenex requested that the product always be identified as a trademarked entity.

How nice of The Ambassador in Waikiki to provide Eco-friendly collapsible water bottles for their guests. Also, it's a good branding opportunity, with the corporate logo decorating each one. I've gotta wonder, though, what the design team was thinking in selecting bright yellow as the base color. I think it's pretty funny, so I'm kind of glad they did, but I'd have gone with light blue. I do plan to re-use them filled with a different flavor of water at our annual summer party. Select guests will appreciate that. The Ex-Texan, who agrees with me that they look like medical sample collectors, or maybe catheter bags, models them in the hotel elevator. As always, this is our opinion, only. Urine may vary…

Teadrop combines a timer and a filter to steep your tea for the perfect amount of time every time, automatically.
About this project
Follow the progress of teadrop on twitter: @distefam
Hi Kickstarters!
First, I would like to thank you for taking the time to check out my project! I designed and patented teadrop to simplify the experience of preparing loose-leaf tea. My hope is that teadrop will make loose-leaf tea and all of its health and epicurean benefits accessible to a wider audience. I just need your help to turn teadrop into a reality.
Teadrop is unlike any other device for steeping loose tea. It simplifies the process by integrating a timer and a filter into the same device. With teadrop you don't have to worry about removing the leaves when the timer is up, teadrop will automatically stop steeping the leaves at the right time.
To use teadrop all you need are loose tea leaves, a cup, and hot water; teadrop handles the rest. You simply put your leaves into teadrop, spin the cap to set the timer and place it into a cup of hot water. Teadrop automatically stops the leaves from steeping when the time is up so that your tea is brewed perfectly every time. It even rings to let you know your tea is done.
When your tea is done steeping you can safely remove teadrop like you would do a teabag, however, you may also leave it in, the choice is yours; your tea will not oversteep regardless of what you do.
Once teadrop's integrated timer is up it is completely sealed; you can set it down on your table and not have to worry about tea going all over the place.
Right now, teadrop is ready to be manufactured. I have interviewed several prospective manufacturers and settled on one. I need your help to fund the mould costs and first run of manufacture.
Have a question? If the info above doesn't help, you can ask the project creator directly.

- The Relationship between EFL Teachers' Emotional Intelligence and
Students' Motivational ...
Abstract: This study explored the relationship between EFL (English as a foreign language) teachers' emotional intelligence (EI) and their students' motivational attributes. Additionally, it investigated the contribution of EFL teachers' EI to students' motivational factors. To these ends, 30 EFL teachers were selected through convenience sampling from language institutes in Najaf-Abad, and were asked to complete Bar-On's Emotional Quotient Inventory. Then, Gardner's Attitude/Motivation Test Battery was administered to 221 randomly selected EFL students from the teachers' English courses in the language institutes. The results of bivariate correlation and multiple regression analyses revealed that there was a statistically significant and positive relationship between the teachers' EI and their students' motivational attributes. Moreover, Adaptability, Interpersonal, and General Mood, three competencies of teachers' EI, were found to have higher correlations with the students' motivational attributes. But the unique contributions of the above three EI subdomains as well as Intrapersonal and Stress Management subdomains to the motivational factors were not statistically significant. In general, the teachers' EI made a moderate contribution to the students' motivation.

- The Investigation of the Perspectives of Iranian EFL Domain Experts on
Postmethod Pedagogy: A ...
Abstract: After the introduction of postmethod pedagogy by Kumaravadivelu with its three principles of particularity, possibility and practicality, a wave of attention was directed towards this so-called 'postmethod era' and its appropriacy and adequacy in satiating the demands of the language learners in this 'brand new world'. This situation has created a healthy debate among the Iranian EFL community as well. The aim of this study was to explore the perspectives of the Iranian EFL domain experts about postmethod pedagogy. In so doing, the Delphi technique was adopted to reach 'expert' consensus. The participants of this study were 21 domain experts in the field of applied linguistics in Iran. The Delphi technique was a remarkably quick means of achieving a consensus on postmethod pedagogy for participants. Three waves of data collection were employed in the three rounds of Delphi with the same sample. The findings of this study raised much doubt and uncertainty about both method and post method pedagogy. It was revealed that the Iranian language education has never experienced method in its actual meaning, what it is known as the method has been an eclectic approach any teacher has adhered to simply based on his/her personal taste. Moreover, the findings of the Delphi technique indicated that postmethod pedagogy with its three principles is not applicable in the Iranian context. Finally, the theoretical and practical implications of this study are discussed.

- Key Lexical Chunks in Applied Linguistics Article Abstracts
Abstract: In any discourse domain, certain chunks are particularly frequent and deserve attention by the novice to be initiated and by the expert to maintain a sense of community. To make a relevant contribution to the awareness about applied linguistics texts and discourse, this study attempted to develop lists of lexical chunks frequently used in the abstracts of applied linguistics journals. The abstracts from all the issues of 30 applied linguistics journals which were published before August 1, 2013 were collected. These abstracts which generated a corpus of 2,750,000 words were submitted to the program AntConc for chunk extraction. The long list of chunks in the output was shortlisted based on frequency and inclusiveness of shorter chunks. These were classified into textual and content n-grams. The article also presents the frequent chunks which serve as starting points in bringing up different aspects of research reports. The practical value of the results is briefly discussed at the end of the article.

- Iranian Non-native English Speaking Teachers' Rating Criteria
Regarding the Speech Act of ...
Abstract: Among topics in the field of pragmatics, some seem to be in a more rigorous need of investigation. Pragmatic assessment and specifically the issue of pragmatic rating are among issues which deserve more thorough consideration. The purpose of this study was to examine rater criteria and its consistency and variability in the assessment of Iranian EFL learners' production of compliments based on the teachers' gender and teaching experience of the Iranian non-native English speaking raters (INNESRs). The data for this study were collected through WDCTs rating questionnaire from sixty Iranian EFL teachers and were later analyzed through descriptive statistics, t-tests and Chi-squares. The results of the study showed that Iranian EFL teachers consider seven macro criteria when rating EFL learners' pragmatic productions regarding the speech act of compliment. The criteria include "politeness"(26.37%), "interlocutors' characteristics and relationships" (22.83%), "variety and range" (19.68%), "sociopragmatic appropriateness" (14.17%), "sincerity" (10.23%), "complexity" (9.84%), and "linguistic appropriacy" (8.66%). The results of the t-test and chi-squares further showed that whereas there was no significant difference in the teachers' ratings based on their gender and teaching experience, the difference was significant in the frequency of rating criteria provided by the raters. To conclude, the results of the study reinforces the need for rater training regarding the assessment of pragmatic productions based on pragmalinguistic and sociopragmatic norms.

- The Impact of Metalinguistic English Vocabulary Knowledge and Lexical
Inferencing on EFL ...
Abstract: The present study endeavors to unravel the enigma of the psycholinguistic mechanisms underpinning bilingual mental lexicon by analyzing the issue of L1 lexicalization as a construct epitomizing an overarching framework. It involves 78 juniors at the Islamic Azad University, Roudehen Branch. The study inspects the impact of the interventionist/noninterventionist treatments on both sets of lexicalized and nonlexicalized items pedagogically. It further tries to bring the bilingual mental lexicon under scrutiny by investigating the cross-linguistic issue of L1 lexicalization psycholinguistically. The results, obtained through the independent t-test, indicate a significant difference between the two groups dealing with both sets of items. The paired t-test shows that the learners had a greater degree of familiarity with lexicalized items at pretesting, and they were more successful in learning lexicalized items at posttesting. However, no significant difference was found in gain scores in the two groups. The descriptive analyses indicate that the number of lexicalized words produced productively was approximately two times as many as the number of nonlexicalized items at the same level in the interventionist group. Moreover, the number of nonlexicalized items learned partially was much greater in comparison with their lexicalized counterparts. The results have implications for EFL methodologists and theoreticians.

- Cognitive Task Complexity and Iranian EFL Learners' Written
Linguistic Performance across ...
Abstract: Recently tasks, as the basic units of syllabi, and the cognitive complexity, as the criterion for sequencing them, have caught many second language researchers' attention. This study sought to explore the effect of utilizing the cognitively simple and complex tasks on high- and low-proficient EFL Iranian writers' linguistic performance, i.e., fluency, accuracy, lexical complexity, and structural complexity. At first, based on their scores on the writing test of TOFEL (2003), participants were assigned to high- and low-proficient writers. Participants in both groups first accomplished the simple task which was the narration of a story based on a set of pictures. One week later, they were asked to perform the complex task which was writing about a topic requiring reasons. Then the written productions were encoded on the measures of fluency, accuracy, lexical complexity, and structural complexity. Four two-way mixed-design ANOVAs were conducted. The results revealed that the learners significantly generated less accurate, more structurally complex, and more fluent language in the complex task. No significant effect was found for the lexical complexity measure. The high-proficient group performed significantly better in the four measures. The interaction between task complexity and writing proficiency did not yield any significant results. On the whole, based on the findings, the 'limited attentional model' was shown to be more accurate in comparison with 'cognition hypothesis' and the 'threshold level hypothesis' was not confirmed.

on Features of ...
Abstract: In recent years, a number of large-scale writing assessments (e.g., TOEFL iBT) have employed integrated writing tests to measure test takers' academic writing ability. Using a quantitative method, the current study examined how written textual features and use of source material(s) varied across two types of text-based integrated writing tasks (i.e., listening-to-write vs. reading-to-write) and two levels of language proficiency (i.e., high vs. low). Sixty Iranian English major students were selected through purposive sampling and divided into low and high proficiency groups based on an IELTS practice test. Then, they were required to write on a listening-to-write and a reading-to-write task. Results of two-way and one-way ANOVAs revealed that firstly, variations in integrated writing tasks together with level of proficiency had a significant effect on all the generated discourse features, secondly, the two types of integrated tasks produced features that shared to a large extent, and thirdly, some features could distinguish a certain level of proficiency. In addition, the results indicated that plagiarism is higher in response to the reading-to-write task than the listening-to-write task especially among the low proficiency writers. Implications of the study are presented.

Abstract: This study examined the effects of aural and written prompts under two planning conditions (i.e. pre-task planning and no planning) on complexity, accuracy, and fluency of test takers' writing production. Forty learners in an English institute, who had already been classified as intermediate according to the Oxford Placement Test, were assigned to two planning conditions (i.e. no planning and pre-task planning). Then the planning groups were further divided into another two groups: with aural prompt and with written prompt. Also, concept mapping strategy was applied during pre-task planning time by the test takers. The results obtained from t-test and two-way ANOVA revealed that the candidates who had received the written prompt utilized their planning time better and produced more fluent written texts than those who received the aural prompt. Furthermore, neither concept mapping strategy with aural prompt nor concept mapping strategy with written prompt led to more complex or more accurate writings. Finally, the interaction of no planning condition and written prompt had a significant effect on complexity in comparison with the pre-task planning condition with written prompt. Also, written prompt under no planning condition had a significant effect on complexity in comparison with the same planning condition with aural prompt. It was concluded that the planned conditions, concept mapping strategy and the received prompts had little effect on the test takers' writing performance.

Abstract: The cognitive predictors (i.e.,Phonological Awareness, and Rapid Automatized Naming) underlying reading achievement have not been researched in Iranian partial English immersion and non-immersion programs. The present study sought to investigate the relationship between English and Persian Phonological Awareness (PA), Rapid Autamatized Naming (RAN) and reading achievementof Iranian students in partial immersion and non-immersion programs. To this end, one hundred forty five students from three different grade levels in a partial English immersion program and 95 students from three different grade levels in a non-immersion program were chosen. Six different English and Persian tests were utilized (namely, the Cambridge English for Young Learners (YLE) test for Reading,the Persian reading achievement test, the English and Persian Phonological AwarenessSound Detection tests, and the English and Persian Rapid Automatized Naming Tests). Given the design of the study, a number of statistical tests were run. The main findingswere as follows: learners' reading achievement could significantly be predicted through both English and Persian PA and RAN.Furthermore, learning English in a partial English immersion system improves learners' reading achievement and cognitive predictors compared with non-immersion program. The findings suggest that by teaching learners PA and RAN skills, their reading achievement improves in both English and Persian.

Abstract: This study was an attempt to shed light on the use of requestive speech act by Iranian nonnative speakers (NNSs) of English and Canadian native speakers (NSs) of English to find out the (possible) similarities and/or differences between the request realizations, and to investigate the influence of the situational variables of power, distance, context familiarity, and L1's (possible) influence. Participants were 4 different groups: Canadian NSs of English, Persian NNSs, Iranian hotel staff, and Iranian English learners. Data were obtained by a discourse completion test (DCT) including 12 situations and was translated into Persian to elicit the data from the Persian NNSs. Then, data were analyzed and codified based on the cross-cultural speech act realization pattern (CCSARP; Blum-Kulka & Olshtain, 1984). Findings indicated that the Persian culture is more direct and positive-politeness oriented, whereas the Canadian culture tends to be indirect and negative-politeness oriented. The Iranians revealed more variations in their request performance and were more sensitive to power differences. The Canadians were fixed and used conventionally indirect strategies in most situations.

Retreat to the Rock
This event was founded in 1989 by Roseann Rossi and Pat Picco, two Christian women in the Illinois Valley who had a desire to use our beautiful Starved Rock State Park for the glory of God. They invited several women from various Christian churches to pray for guidance and come to meetings in their homes if they felt led to be involved in forming an interdenominational Christian women's retreat. Thus, Retreat to the "Rock" was birthed. Twelve ladies from various churches and backgrounds prayed, visited other retreats and called upon Winsome Women retreat from Winona Lake, Indiana to help them get started. Ethel Anderson, an officer from that retreat, was the first speaker for Retreat to the "Rock". Judy Dagraedt, a local woman with a beautiful music ministry led the music. The twelve founding members of the Retreat to the "Rock" board met and prayed fervently for the retreat, placing ten dollars a meeting in an offering to get the group started. From this humble beginning, God has used this retreat for years to proclaim His Word, bring salvation to the lost, and encourage and comfort His people. The retreat offers Bible based teaching, a variety of workshops, praise and worship, a prayer room, warm fellowship, an abundance of delicious food, and the wonderful ambiance and luxury of Starved Rock Lodge. Many women return year after year, using the retreat for a reunion of friendships, girls' night out or just good old fashioned R&R. All leave blessed.

I am soooo!! AMPED!! I hit the SG on my first crack at Lagering. The recipe called for 1.012 and I hit it!! When I tasted the beer when transfering i was so good I could have drank it without carbonation. Freakin Awsome!!!
That's a good feeling. I don't have the means to do a true lager, but in the winter months I sometimes ferment certain beers with WLP810 which is the Anchor Steam yeast. It's an ale yeast that ferments out, leaving lager-like characteristics. Congrats on your beer!
"...Careful, man...there's a beverage here!..."
