Eligible workers will be asked to pay a $25 administrative fee. The state offered GoPasses until the end of 2012, when officials said they didn't have money in the budget to continue covering the $176,000 expense. This time the passes will be paid for from a $12 million fund DOT set up for other measures related to the Beltline repair project, including express buses to Raleigh from outlying towns.http://www.newsobserver.com/2014/11/27/4358867/state-workers-get-bus-passes-to.html Read more about Daily dose: Black Friday editionBlueNC's blog1 commentLog in or register to post comments

Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa planning Phoenix expansion
Send this to a friend
- Tim Gallen
- Digital Producer- Phoenix Business Journal
- Email | LinkedIn | Twitter | Google+
Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa opened its sixth Phoenix-area location late last month and has plans to open an additional two or three dayspas this year.
The Hamilton, N.J.-based chain of franchised spas opened its newest store in Scottsdale at Scottsdale and Lone Mountain roads on Dec. 28. Hand & Stone offers massage, facial and waxing services, competing with the likes of Scottsdale-based Massage Envy for consumers looking for a little rest and relaxation.
"Even in a rough economy this is something that people do for themselves," said Maggie Brown, the spa chain's regional developer for Arizona. Brown owns the franchise rights in Arizona and also runs two of the six Valley locations.
She has plans to open upward of 23 Hand & Stone stores in Arizona, with the Biltmore area of Phoenix high on the list of potential spots. Brown also mentioned she is researching Chandler, Gilbert, Flagstaff, Prescott and Tucson.
Franchise fees for a Hand & Stone run $39,000 for an initial location, Brown said. Additional franchises carry a $29,000 fee. There also is a 5 percent royalty fee.
She declined to share revenue numbers.
Company-wide, Hand & Stone franchises generated $55 million in sales in 2012, up from $30 million in 2011, said Todd Leff, CEO of Hand & Stone Franchise Corp.
Leff said the company has about 30 stores in development for the new year, and anticipates opening between 10 and 12 stores in the first quarter on the way to 45 new U.S. locations in 2013 and five or seven in Canada.
Brown cites Phoenix's status as a popular travel destination for the growth and popularity of Hand & Stone. She has arrangements with several Valley hotels to refer visitors to Hand & Stone for spa services while in town.

The name sure isn't helping things.
After years spent gaining a solid following for his quaint little breakfast-and-lunch-only place in a strip mall just north of Dupont Road on Coldwater Road, owner Mehrdad Dehmiri expanded his space, his kitchen and his hours to the evening with a move south into the former Fish of Stroh spot in Pine Valley Shopping Center.
But the Sun Rise Café sign doesn't tell passers-by that dinner is now an option, so Dehmiri just hopes the word of his loyal regulars will do the trick.
I thought about maybe changing it to Sun Rise Diner, but decided that wouldn't change much, he said.
What hasn't changed much about Sun Rise is what made it a winner in the morning – made-from-scratch breakfast staples and great service.
The new location is attractive, with a kind of modern European décor featuring an earth-tone paint scheme, stone tile flooring, bright-colored prints adorning the walls, and new booths, tables and chairs.
The old menu is still intact, with 13 added dinner selections. The dinners are simple comfort food to match the simple comfort breakfasts Dehmiri has served for years. He wasn't about to try to get too fancy.
When you go to a Mexican restaurant, you get Mexican food; you don't get mac and cheese or something like that, Dehmiri said.
I started with the weekend special prime rib. This fatty cut of beef was slow-cooked and then finished on the flat top and served in a pool of au jus. The flavor was good, and the flat top didn't cause it to be overcooked. The only minor fault was that it could have been a bit hotter.
It was flanked by a baked potato that I had no problems with, and the house salad was nothing fancy – as per the plan – but still enjoyable with fresh iceberg, shredded cheese, white onion rings and diced tomatoes. I also ate every drop of the cup of chicken vegetable and rice soup, which was perfectly seasoned and full of pulled chicken meat, carrot, celery and al dente rice.
The pan-fried cod was also enjoyable. The two decent-sized breaded fillets had a nice crust on them, and that crust gave it a somewhat buttery flavor. The fish was mild, flaky and moist, and the homemade coleslaw, which was creamy and almost too sweet, and bright yellow potato salad I chose as sides were fantastic.
Chicken and noodles and beef and noodles are available for lunch or dinner. The chicken and noodles were ladled over smooth, velvety mashed potatoes with just a few lumps here and there. The noodles were thick and doughy, sort of like dumplings, and the chicken meat was tender and stringy. It was quite filling.
I couldn't help myself when it came to the last meal I sampled. I couldn't stay away from the breakfast offerings no matter how hard I tried. So, when I saw a Black Diamond steak on the dinner specials board, I immediately asked whether I could sub it for the rib-eye on Sun Rise Café's steak and eggs from the featured breakfasts section of the menu.
The steak was interesting, blackened and seasoned with a sort of sweet spice blend that produces a flavor similar to some bourbon steaks I have had. It was also tender and moist.
But what made it sublime was the addition of easily the best sauce nature can provide – runny yolks from my three perfectly over-easy eggs. The hash browns were also spot-on – crispy on top, but soft and tender like a good baked potato underneath.
The highlights of my return to breakfast were the biscuits. I do not know that I have had better biscuits than the ones served at Sun Rise Café. They are dense but still soft like little pillows, and they have a sort of doughy, melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness about them.
So going back to breakfast was the wisest choice. And looking around at the other evening diners, I saw a lot of skillets and pancakes dotting the tables.
So what you get at the new Sun Rise Café is everything the old place offered with just more options in case you just want meat and potatoes instead of eggs and biscuits.
And there is one more new thing at this new place – actually a new person. Millie Hood, once owner of Millie's Café in New Haven and most recently of The Savory Dish, is handling the desserts.
Her pies are brilliant, with the cream ones being my favorites – try the Butterfinger with layers of chocolate and peanut butter cream topped with whipped cream. Her Frisbee-sized cookies are worth picking up at the counter to take home as you pay your bill.
And if you want in on a little dessert secret, ask for the off-the-menu Mehrdad's L.A. Special. It is made with the cinnamon-marbled L.A. bread, which is crisped up with margarine on the griddle then topped with a sugary-sweet glaze and served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Dessert is always a good thing, even after breakfast.

Reese Witherspoon
Reese Witherspoon is one of America's favorite sweethearts. Reese has been a A-Lister in Hollywood for a long time. Reese's recent high profile divorce and subsequent romance and breakup with Jake Gyllenhaal are constantly in the tabloids pictures.
Enjoying a rare day off, Reese Witherspoon treated herself to a casual lunch in Venice Beach, California on Thursday (August 29).
The "Sweet Home Alabama" actress enjoyed her eats before heading off for a massage therapy session at a friend's house nearby.
Going about her beauty routine, Reese Witherspoon stopped at a nail salon in Brentwood, California on Tuesday (August 27).
The "Legally Blonde" star looked adorable in a sleeveless white top, blue skinnies, and pink high heels as she smiled at the cameras while carrying a blue handbag.
Starting off her week with a delicious meal, Reese Witherspoon went to lunch at the Tavern Restaurant in Brentwood, CA on Monday afternoon (August 26).
Looking casually beautiful, the "Water for Elephants" actress wore a back and white ensemble as she flashed her pearly whites to the awaiting shutterbugs.
Enjoying some time with her youngest, Reese Witherspoon spent Saturday afternoon (August 24) with her son Tennessee in West Hollywood.
Summery in a grey and white striped frock, the "This Means War" actress toted her adorably clad little guy on errands before heading to lunch.
Having some mommy-and-me time with her youngest, Reese Witherspoon took baby Tennessee to a toy store in Brentwood, California on Thursday (August 15).
The "Walk the Line" star looked cute in a navy blue T-shirt, blue shorts with anchors on them, and white sandals as she held her adorable towheaded little boy on her hip.
Taking a break from their hectic schedules, Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth teamed up with their son Tennessee in Hollywood yesterday (August 4).
The "Walk the Line" lady and her hunky hubby hit up the Hotel Bel-Air before passing off their little guy to a sitter and going off on their own.
Ending her week with another yoga session, Reese Witherspoon arrived at Burn 60 gym on Friday (August 2).
While decked out in all-black fitness gear, the "Cruel Intentions" beauty toted her yoga mat and Louie Vuitton bag as she made her way inside to start her work out.
All those workouts seem to be paying off as Reese Witherspoon was slim and trim while heading to the Brentwood Country Mart on Thursday (August 1).
Skinny jeans and Louboutin pumps showed off the 37-year-old's figure as she ran errands. A new Louis Vuitton bag completed the look. In addition, some Witherspoon watchers say the blonde mom recently spent $1500 on her hair.
Looking a bit weary after an early morning workout, Reese Witherspoon left the gym in Brentwood, California on Wednesday (July 31).
The "Legally Blonde" star wore a black hooded sweatshirt, black cropped workout tights, and sneakers as she carried her tote bag and a water bottle back outside.
Eight months after the birth of her son Tennessee, Reese Witherspoon continues to work on her post-baby weight with intense workouts. She made her way to a Hollywood gym Friday (July 26) for another go at reducing hip and tummy trouble spots.
The 37-year-old actress' arrest in Atlanta in April (when she was arrested and fined for disorderly conduct after she ignored a police officer's demands to remain in her vehicle) hasn't seemed to affect her career.

(5 votes)
Servings:Serves 1-2 Depending on how hungry you are!
This is a very delicious pate that is quick and easy to make. It's very filling and satisfying and can be used lots of different ways. (Suggestions: on a bed of grated vegies or greens with chopped tomatoes on top; as a dip with raw chips, crackers, or vegie slices; or as a sandwich on dehydrated bread or rolled up in a collard leaf)
1 cup Walnuts, Chop in food processor.
5 Sun Dried Tomatoes, soak for 30-60 min.
½ teaspoon Curry Powder
½ teaspoon Cumin Powder
½ Carrot, Scrub and Chop
Salt to taste (This will vary depending on how salty your Sun Dried Tomatoes are)

Put all ingredients in the food processor (I use a 3 cup FP for this – mine is a Cuisinart Mini Prep Plus – I like this one because it has forward and reverse.) Process until it holds together. Serve in desired manner. ENJOY!
You can also add about 1/4 cup red bell pepper, a little chipotle, a few cherry tomatos or some fresh herbs. Have fun with it. :)

Questions From Users of the Manual
Q: My colleagues and I are debating the correctness of the following sentence: If any of the side effects gets serious, contact the study doctor.
A: If you remove the words "of the" from your sentence, you will find the answer(s) readily apparent. If there is one side effect, you'd use the singular: "If any side effect becomes serious…." If there is more than one side effect, you'd use the plural: If any side effects become serious…."
Q: Should "week" or "weeks" be used in the following sentences?
The changes in serum creatinine remained stable from week/weeks 48 to 96.
Nausea typically develops between the fourth and sixth week/weeks of pregnancy.
A: We would suggest using "weeks" in both examples. It would, of course, not be incorrect to repeat "week," eg, "…at week 48 and week 96," but for efficiency you could use "…at weeks 48 and 96."—Cheryl Iverson, MA
August 7, 2013
Questions From Users of the Manual
Q: I understand that the second printing of the AMA Manual of Style is now available and that many of the items in the list of Errata on the companion website (www.amamanualofstyle.com) are corrected therein. How can I tell if I have the first or the second printing? Does the second printing have a different ISBN?
A: Yes, the second printing was published in October 2007 and in it the majority of errata listed on the companion website are corrected. You can tell which printing you have by looking at the copyright page of the book (p iv). In the lower left corner of that page is a string of numbers, beginning, on the left, with 9. The number on the far right of that string will indicate the number of the printing. If the last number on the right is a 2, you have the second printing. The ISBN does not change with printings.
Q: Which is correct: "Qvar has similar systemic effects to those of fluticasone" or "Qvar has similar systemic effects as those of fluticasone"?
A: The correct idiomatic form is "similar…to" not "similar…as," as with "identical…to" rather than "identical…as." I suspect the use of "as" in this construction comes from a related idiom: "the same as." You could also rephrase this to "Qvar and fluticasone have similar systemic effects." or "Qvar has systemic effects similar to those of fluticasone."
Q: Has the policy on SI units changed? If so, how?
A: Yes. These changes are addressed in detail in section 18.5.10. For laboratory values reported in JAMA Network Journals, factors for converting conventional units to SI units should be provided in the article. In text, the conversion factor should be given once, at first mention of the laboratory value, in parentheses following the conventional unit.
The blood glucose concentration of 126 mg/dL (to convert to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.055) was used as a criterion for diagnosing diabetes.
For articles in which several laboratory values are reported in the text, the conversion factors may be provided in a paragraph at the end of the "Methods" section. In tables and figures, this information can be provided in the footnote or legend.
Q: Although the 10th edition recommends spelling out state names except in full addresses and the reference list (for location of publishers), I notice that you still show "DC" for District of Columbia. Is this an exception?
A: Yes.
Q: If a state's full name is spelled out on first mention in running text, per the new style, what do you do when numerous cities in the same state are mentioned in an article? Should the state name be spelled out every time it is mentioned, every time a new city is mentioned, or should the 2-letter postal code be used after the first time the state name is spelled out in running text?
A: The answer will depend on the context. If the article is about cities in a particular state, you might not need to include the state name with the individual cities at all, as it will be clear what the state is, eg, "6 cities in Massachusetts." If the state name is spelled out at the first mention of each new city, it shouldn't need to be repeated, unless there are instances in the manuscript of a city that exists in more than 1 state (eg, Springfield, Massachusetts, and Springfield, Illinois).—Cheryl Iverson, MA

Split Infinitives
Would you convey my compliments to the purist who reads your proofs and tell him or her that I write in a sort of broken-down patois which is something like the way a Swiss waiter talks, and that when I split an infinitive [expletive deleted], I split it so it will stay split….—Raymond Chandler1
The proscription against splitting infinitives—the insertion of one or more words between the particle to and the bare verb2 (eg, to really try, to quickly go)—dates from the early 19th century, when an 1834 magazine article fired perhaps the first shot in the war against the construction.3 Other observers such as Henry Alford (A Plea for the Queen's English [1864])4 quickly followed suit, and soon a full-blown battle was afoot. The timing of all of this is not surprising, given the affection of the Victorian era for Latin,4 a language in which the infinitive cannot be split because it is a single word.5,6
It should be noted, however, that writers of English have been making free use of the split infinitive since the 14th century3 and that "Noteworthy splitters include John Donne, Daniel Defoe, George Eliot, Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, William Wordsworth, and Willa Cather"6—and Raymond Chandler, who once took the admirably firm stance noted above.1 Moreover, the split infinitive has enjoyed renewed support since at least the 1930s, and many authorities now agree with Sterling Leonard, who in 1932 wrote that "The evidence in favor of the judiciously split infinitive is sufficiently clear to make it obvious that teachers who condemn it are wasting their time and that of their pupils."7 Part of the reason for the support is that because the particle to is not truly part of the infinitive, technically "there's nothing to split."4 Furthermore, a split infinitive sounds natural because in English, the best place for an adverb… is right in front of the word it describes."4
However, some discretion is necessary. Some split infinitives are acceptable because the adverb will not make sense anywhere else in the sentence. Others simply sound better owing to the rise and fall of accented syllables (consider, for example, perhaps the most famous split infinitive of all time—Star Trek's "To boldly go where no man has gone before….").2,3,7 Still others are acceptable on the grounds that unsplitting them would result in an awkward construction or, worse, change the sense altogether7—consider, for example, the different meanings of "I want to live simply," "I simply want to live," and "I want to simply live."8
This is not to say that all infinitives can or should be split. Given the lingering wariness toward the construction, avoiding splits is advisable when writing for unfamiliar audiences or for those known to favor the proscription; in such cases, if "a split is easily fixed by putting the adverb at the end of the phrase and the meaning remains the same, then avoiding the split is the best course."7 Also, writers should carefully assess splits involving the insertion of 2 or more words between the particle and the bare verb to ensure that the intended meaning is not changed or simply obscured by a list of adverbs. Last, writers should also take special care to avoid ambiguity that can arise when only the first infinitive in a series of infinitives contains the particle, because it can be unclear whether the adverb modifies only the first infinitive or all of the infinitives in the series.7
The bottom line:
● Splitting infinitives is not incorrect—but deciding whether to split is a matter of having "a good ear and a keen eye."7
● Whenever possible, take into account the perceived tastes of the audience—and always take into account the rhythm and sound of the construction, the number of adverbs in use, and any ambiguity that might result from placement of the adverb(s).
● Recasting a sentence to avoid using an infinitive altogether is always an option.
● If it seems that splitting is justifiable, by all means go for it—and know that you are in good company.—Phil Sefton, ELS

Quiz Bowl: Articles
Once again it's time for a historic Quiz Bowl. Okay, maybe historic is a bit much, but I'm trying to make a point here. The point has to do with the subject of this month's AMA Manual of Style quiz—articles. Is it a historic or an historic Quiz Bowl? Did you guess a historic? If so, you're right. The article a is used before the aspirate h (eg, a historic occasion) and nonvocalic y (eg, a ubiquitous organism) (§11.9, Articles, p 412 in print).
Try another example from this month's quiz.
The physician told that patient that he should have a/an ultrasound examination performed.
Here's a hint. Sometimes it helps to read the sentence aloud.
The answer is as follows (use your mouse to highlight the text box):
The physician told that patient that he should have an ultrasound examination performed.
Words beginning with vowels are preceded by a or an according to the sound following (in this case, the u sound) (§11.9, Articles, p 412 in print).
Sound plays an important role in determining whether to use a or an. Test your skills by taking the full Articles Quiz on the AMA Manual of Style online. It will be a (or is that an?) unique experience.—Laura King, MA, ELS

Around, About, Approximately
Although each of these words is used to refer to a value that is estimated and therefore imprecise, whether it is acceptable to use them interchangeably depends in part on context and the level of accuracy being implied.
Some speakers and writers will use approximately before turning to the other two—not surprising, because people faced with a choice between words will often choose the most impressive-sounding one. And sometimes that choice happens to be correct. On the other hand, people will often, especially in casual communications, use around or about as a sort of verbal shorthand. And again, sometimes that choice happens to be correct.
So, what's the scoop? To sort this out, it helps to recognize that authorities for the most part agree that around, about, and approximately lie on a scale from casual to formal. As it happens, around is also thought of as the most imprecise and approximately the most precise, with about falling somewhere in between. It further helps to note that around, meaning merely "with some approach to exactness,"1(p68) is not widely considered an adequate replacement for either about or approximately and thus is often accepted only in casual conversation.2 Hence, in conversation between friends, for example, many speakers will toss off a "See ya around three," whereas in written communications, as Bernstein maintains, "'about three o'clock' is preferable to 'around three o'clock.'"2
Things get a bit more complicated as one moves along the scale: not only does the choice of word depend in part on the closeness to accuracy required by different types of communication, but the differences between the implied degrees of closeness can be subtle. For example, Merriam-Webster's defines about as "reasonably close to"1(p4) and approximately as "nearly correct or exact."1(p61) However, it is safe to say that in nontechnical communications (which presumably often place less emphasis on precision), the use of about is not only accepted but is perhaps preferred. As Garner maintains, "When possible, use about instead of approximately, a formal word"3(p5)—where a "formal" word is defined simply as one "occupying an elevated level of diction."3(pp153-154) On the other hand, as suggested by the above definitions, about does not emphasize a closeness to accuracy as strongly as approximately does—which helps explain why about seems fine when used to refer to estimated values that have been rounded to multiples of 5 or 10 but can seem strange when used to refer to unrounded values.4 Moreover, around and about each have multiple meanings and can be used in other senses, whereas approximately is used in a single sense only, leading some authorities to maintain that the latter is a better choice for technical communications.5
The bottom line:
● Referring to an inexact value in casual conversation? Around, about, and approximately are all acceptable, but approximately can sound a bit pretentious.
● Referring to an inexact value in nontechnical writing? About is perhaps the best choice, around being too informal and approximately being a tad too formal.
● Referring to an inexact value in medical or other technical writing? Although about may very occasionally be used if one carefully assesses the context, approximately is nearly always the best choice.—Phil Sefton, ELS

Purposely, Purposefully
These words sound similar, and over time their meanings have come to overlap somewhat. Generally, however, they are regarded as having different meanings and uses—although the differences are admittedly subtle—and in choosing between them, writers should carefully consider the message they wish to convey.
Purposely—meaning "with a deliberate or express purpose"1 or "intentionally"2—was first on the scene, entering usage in the late 1400s.2 A second meaning, "to good purpose; effectively," came into use about 100 years later but is now considered obsolete.2
In contrast, purposefully—meaning "full of determination"1—was a relative latecomer, not coming into use until the mid 1800s,2 and is still used in those senses. Over time, though, purposefully also has come to be used interchangeably with purposely in the sense of "intentionally,"2 perhaps because something done with determination is also done intentionally. But of course the reverse is not necessarily true, which suggests that writers should use purposely when referring to intention alone.
To some ears, however, purposely sounds uneducated or incorrect, leading some writers to instead use purposefully in error; moreover, writers simply looking for a more impressive word will also sometimes instead use purposefully—again incorrectly.3 But even when purposefully is the correct choice, writers should take care that their intended meaning is not misconstrued. For example, the statement "On occasion, a clinician might purposely elicit pain" likely simply means that the clinician is intentionally eliciting pain (for the purpose of making a diagnosis). On the other hand, the statement "On occasion, a clinician might purposefully elicit pain" might imply that the clinician is determinedly eliciting pain (again—one can only hope—for the purpose of making a diagnosis). In both instances, careful handling of the context can make clear that the elicitation of pain is a necessary evil in service of a worthy end. For example, simply ending either of the above statements with "to help make a diagnosis" can go a long way toward ensuring that the clinician is not construed as something of a sadist.
The bottom line:
●Is "intentionally" the intended message? Use purposely.
●Is "full of determination" the intended message? Use purposefully.
●In both cases, however, take care to ensure that the context helps readers determine the intended meaning.—Phil Sefton, ELS

If any doctor tells me, as I lie in my hospital bed, that my death will not only help others to live, but be symptomatic of the triumph of humanity, I shall watch him very carefully when he next adjusts my drip.—Julian Barnes1
He lays his hands flat on Addie, rocking her a little.—William Faulkner2(p147)
"[A]s I lie in my hospital bed"? Surely Barnes is correct—although some readers might wonder if this should read "as I lay in my hospital bed." Similarly, Faulkner's "He lays his hands flat on Addie" sounds correct, but is it really, in a novel in which sentences such as "You lay you down and rest you"2(p37) are used to so effectively communicate the rich idiom of that fictional world? Moreover, when Faulkner titles his novel As I Lay Dying, is he being grammatically correct or simply giving free rein to Addie Bundren's vernacular? To further complicate matters, where would "lain" and "laid" fit into all this?
Ah, the joys of irregular verbs. In English, forming the simple past and the past participle forms of most verbs is simple—one simply adds -ed to the root form of the verb and is then free to knock off for the day. However, irregular verbs complicate this otherwise blissful state of affairs by requiring writers to memorize alternate forms for the past tenses. True enough, users of English have things pretty easy in this respect compared with users of some other languages, but English has enough irregular verbs—80 or more—to keep things interesting. Further complicating matters is that even the alternate forms of irregular verbs are sometimes irregularly applied—for example, sometimes the present and the past participle are the same (eg, become [present], became [simple past], become [past participle]), sometimes the simple past and the past participle are the same (deal, dealt, dealt), and sometimes the verb does not change form at all (hurt, hurt, hurt). Fortunately, though, memorizing the alternate forms for most irregular verbs seems to pose little problem for most English users.
So why all the angst when it comes to lie? It is just lie, lay, and lain, right? Well, so far so good—but what leads many English users astray is that lay, the simple past tense of lie, is also the present tense of lay, a different verb with a similar meaning. Lie means "To be or to stay at rest in a horizontal position" or "to assume a horizontal position"3(p717); lay means "To put or set down" or "to place for rest or sleep."3(p705) The difference is that lie is intransitive, meaning it communicates a complete action by itself; lay, in contrast, is transitive, meaning it needs to act on a direct object to communicate a complete thought. So Barnes' "as I lie in my hospital bed" is correct—as is an imperative such as "You lie down"—because these sentences need no direct object to communicate a complete action. Similarly, "He lays his hands flat on Addie" is correct, as is As I Lay Dying—the former because the present form of lay describes an action on something (in this case, "his hands") and the latter because lay in that case is not the present of lay but rather the simple past of lie. On the other hand, Faulkner's "You lay you down and rest you" is not, in the strictest sense, correct—although this instance is interesting, because while the speaker is correctly using a direct object with the transitive lay, the direct object is not a true object but rather a reflexive (and in this case redundant) element, and the choice of verb is incorrect from the start; in effect, the speaker is saying "place yourself down," which, if judged apart from the idiom of Faulkner's novel, would clearly be incorrect. The correct form of the sentence would use the intransitive verb: "You lie down."
So—presuming the English user wishes to use lie or lay in one of the senses indicated above and is not contemplating telling a lie, communicating with a lay audience, or getting the lay of the land—how to simplify this mess?
A few quick tips:
• Determine the correct verb to be used, remembering that lie is intransitive and lay is transitive and requires an object. It might be helpful to remember that lay is often used to mean "to place (something on)"—or, for the mnemonically minded: "to p-lay-ce (something on)."
• Lied is never correct as either the simple past or the past participle of lie or lay when used in the senses indicated above—lied is used only when, for example, someone has just lied to someone else.
• For lie, the simple past and past participle forms are lay and lain (I lie dying, I lay dying, I have lain dying).
• For lay, the simple past and past participle forms are laid and laid (He lays his hands flat on Addie, He laid his hands flat on Addie, He has laid his hands flat on Addie).—Phil Sefton, ELS

For Against As
Since I have been copyediting at JAMA, I have been trying to reinvigorate the use of for as a coordinating conjunction when authors use the word as as demonstrated in the following construction.
There was no significant difference between the study population and the 60 participants who were excluded,
When the typescript came back, my for was deleted and replaced with because. Although I have no objection to because, I like for because it is clear, to the point, and efficient. Despite the continued rejection of my edits, I continue to advocate its use through the editing process, hoping it will take hold, hoping to change enough people's minds that it will become so common that people will not regard it as "highfalutin" or "dated."
Besides its efficiencies in language, its use has economic implications: it is shorter than because, for it saves ink and paper, which should please bottom-line conscious editors and publishers. Furthermore, it is grammatically correct and occupies the first place in the mnemonic FANBOYS, which can be found in writing guides to help students remember all of the coordinating conjunctions available to them. Why keep it in the writers' reference manuals if no one uses it, I ask?
Finally, using as as a coordinating conjunction can be confusing and may steer readers in unintended directions. Coordinating conjunctions are used to show that the clauses of the compound sentence are equivalent. Subordinating conjunctions are designed to show that one idea is more important than another. Both as and because find themselves on the subordinating conjunction list. If they should head the second clause, they should stand alone without the aid of a comma, which when used with coordinating conjunctions announces the compound sentence. So as a copyeditor and a reader, when I see the comma preceding the as I think the author is presenting equivalent ideas rather than subordinating ideas, which is why I am compelled to change as to for. My point is that as when presented in a coordinating conjunction construction is ambiguous and can shift an author's meaning despite his or her intent. For does not.—Beverly Stewart, MSJ
