My name is Traci and I'm currently interning at Tightrope Books. I noticed you had one of our books on your library list (After the Fires by Ursula Pflug) and I just wanted to say thanks choosing and reading one of our books! It's always nice to find someone who is interested in Tightrope and enjoys a book from our catalogue.
If you have a moment, please check out our website and blog and see if there are any other books of our that catch your eye! We also have two Facebook groups you could join, if you have a Facebook account, that is!
Thanks again!
Have a great weekend,
Tightrope Books

Noticed that you liked The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here (as well as on a few other book-related sites). I thought you might like my novel since it's been compared to that novel by a number of reviewers. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Hi, I just joined this site. I noticed that you're interested in Children's Books. Have you read The Fiscal Pear? Here's the site: http://fiscalpear.net/

You got to read an ARC of Rampant. Sigh. Lucky.

I was wondering if I could get the contact name/info for The Customer is Always Wrong as well please Lenoreva? Thanks

I read your post about The Customer Is Always Wrong: The Retail Chronicles and would love the contact info if you would pass that along. It sounds funny...and sometimes you just need some funny, so I would like to try and snag a copy

I have to say, Ella Minnow Pea has been one of my favorite books this year. One of my friends is going to try to use it in her classes at her school. I use the concept of not using a specific word (or I try a variant, like not using the word 'the') in extra work for kids to do when I'm subbing. They really get into it when they realize that using certain words is just common and they have to come up with something different.
Thanks for the info too. I really appreciate it! :)

I did get a message back from the author and she has forwarded my request to the publicist. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Ooooh, you just reviewed another one I'm dying for - Paper Towns. (btw, in case you were worried I'm not hinting, I'll get them at some point or at least add them to my next Amazon order!) That's the first Green you've read?? Looking for Alaska is darker than Abundance of Katherines. If you ever have free time check out the John Green videos on youtube, he's a strange and funny guy.
Oh good, you have a blog that I can add to my blogreader instead of trying to remember to check your reviews every day!

Just saw that you got The Knife of Never Letting Go, and I just mooched that recently - so I wandered over to take a look at your library. Wow, we have a lot of books in common (or would if I could just get my library/currently reading a little more updated!) Thanks for your reviews, I just added several to my wish list from there. I like Dystopia too, I'm dying to read Hunger Games - I've heard so much about it. I have Creepers in my TBR pile.

Wow! you have won alot of books - I am not very lucky with the contests. Author Chris Mooney just sent me his new book (out in July) and so far its pretty good. A few other (less known) authors have asked me to read and review their books also.
If you ever feel like parting with Read My Lips can you let me know? I entered the contest but did not win and I would love to read the book.
Thanks alot and have a great day.

Hi Lenore. Just a note to let you know your book has been mailed. I am going to delete you post on my profile as it has your personal address on it. Can you let me know when you receive the book? I did mail it ground so it will take a little while to get there. Thanks.

The picture you chose for your profile really struck me because I have three feral cats who think our birdbath is just their huge water dish! In the winter, it's funny to see our cats tiptoeing precariously on top of thin ice in the birdbath to find a drink of water.
I checked your husband's pictures on hs daily blog and love them. What a terrific and whimsical illustrator he is!

Re Escape from Amsterdam, yes the guy on the train remains in the story, but only as a background character. He's not really important. I read for enjoyment primarily. Someone with an interest in intepretation might make more of his occupation and the occupation of the main character's sister. I'm too much of a literalist to figure that out without some effort that I don't care to expend :)

PALM CITY -- This year's Bun Fest will keep bunnies and their owners hopping at the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on April 6.
Rabbit owners are invited to bring their healthy bunnies to the event, but they must be in a pet stroller, pet carrier or carried in a proper harness at all times. Rabbits are not permitted to run loose. Owners are responsible for their rabbit's safety, care and comfort. No other animals are permitted to attend Bun Fest.
There will be a number of activities that will be held during this indoor and outdoor event.
For a small donation, bunnies will be groomed, which includes brushing them, clipping their nails and cleaning their glands and ears.
The Bunny Olympics will feature an obstacle course of tubes, slides and teeter-totters for bunnies to show off their moves.
For rabbits that need to be spayed or neutered, services will be available for $30.
For those looking for a "Bunny Glamour Shot," professional photos using props and a fun background will be taken for a small donation.
In addition, there will be a toy-making station where participants can make a fun unique toy for their rabbit. There will also be arts and crafts donated by Stuart Pottery and Ceramics that children can paint.
Patty Cake Art will provide face painting, games and balloon twisting and there will be music with a disc jockey, courtesy of T-Rex Entertainment.
A number of bunnies and other critters also will be available for adoption. Toys, treats and clothing will be for sale, and giveaways and raffles will round out the event.
The Treasure Coast Humane Society is located at 4100 S.W. Leighton Farm Ave., in Palm City. Admission to the Bun Fest is free. For more information, call (772) 223-8822 or (772) 708-9668.

A digital comic is also being included that will give you the chance to make those crucial decisions from the first two games in a bid to shape your own experience.

2005 Projects
- Competence in Written English
- e-Path: Pathway to Quality eLearning
- The Impact of 'Special Entry' Units on Honours Enrolment
- Not Drowning, Waving
- The Write Site
Competence in Written English
Applicants: Dr Nerida Jarkey and Dr Judith Keene
This project builds on the substantial progress made in development and provision of web-based writing skills support (which is the subject of a separate, cross-Faculty TIF application), and on projects run in 2004 for undergraduate and postgraduate International, NESB and local student 'at risk' due to poor writing skills, by:
- integrating writing skills development into the curriculum,
- improving the availability of one-on-one writing assistance for postgraduate students, and
- carrying out research into the effectiveness of these strategies.
The strategy of offering small grants to individual UoS Coordinators to work with the Learning Centre on integrating writing skills into the curriculum has worked very well. We wish to expand this work to include the two first year units of study with the largest enrolments in the Faculty: Introduction to Sociology 1 and 2.
One-on-one academic writing assistance for postgraduate students was successfully piloted in the School of Society, Culture and Performance in 2004. The background for this project was the recognition that students' poor writing skills can be a major block for thesis completions, and that teaching writing skills is a specialised skill.
In 2005 we wish to expand this project across the Faculty, and to extend the work to include:
- research into the effectiveness of focussed instruction and integration of writing skills development into the curriculum;
- working with academic staff to provide guidance on teaching writing skills;
- running discipline-specific writing skills seminars in postgraduate programs.
e-Path: Pathway to Quality eLearning
Applicant: A/Prof Marie-Therese Barbaux
Following the increasing reduction in face-to-face teaching, especially small group teaching, and students' need for flexibility in both access and modes of delivery, more and more units of study are being complemented by online resources. This somewhat ad hoc development of UoS online resources is of uneven quality and often relies on the basic summative assessment tools available in learning management systems, such as WebCT.
The project includes two components:
1. the development and piloting of a formalised pathway for online learning design and development that will guide UoS coordinators through essential steps and will ensure that:
- they are made aware of the learning opportunities afforded by online technologies, including appropriate forms of assessment, and
- the quality of their online development is assured through personalised training and support programs, the provision of specially designed assessment tools and access to a community of practitioners for peer review,
2. the investigation of teachers' perception of the appropriate rewards and incentives for academics to take up online development.
These two components are complementary, one giving academics the resources, and support, for developing quality blended learning for their students, and the other ensuring substantial take-up of eLearning development by academics through rewards and incentives they judge adequate.
The Impact of 'Special Entry' Units on Honours Enrolment
Applicant: A/Prof Penny Russell
Duration: Two years
The standardisation of the credit-point value of units of study has created a valuable opportunity for the review of curriculum at all levels. In the process, important issues have arisen regarding the value and role of the resource-intensive 'special entry' units of study which are used by a number of departments across the Faculty to provide extended training in the methodologies and theories of the discipline for intending honours students.
At present, practice varies across departments. In some cases, special entry units are designated for intending honours students only, require a credit average in the discipline as a prerequisite, and are a compulsory prerequisite for entry to the honours year. In others the units are less exclusive and the requirements at each level less strict.
The project is to identify three or four programs with very different entry requirements and to undertake an intensive research project across two years, with focus groups drawn from third year students enrolled in special entry units and third year students with credit average or above who are not currently on honours track in the discipline. The main objective of the project will be to arrive at a clearer understanding of the experience, choices and outcomes for these students, the opportunities, incentives and difficulties they encounter, and what factors drive their final decision on whether or not to undertake the honours year.
Not Drowning, Waving
Applicant: Dr Nerida Jarkey
The 'Not Drowning, Waving' Program supports and assists
- students from equity groups and students 'at risk' to identify and adopt strategies likely to help them stay on in their courses and to improve their university experience and learning outcomes, and
- academic staff to develop awareness of the needs of students from diverse backgrounds and from equity groups and to direct students to relevant support services and networks.
The program has a particular focus on students who have failed two or more units of study in the first or second semester of their first year. These students are invited to join the program, and linked with a volunteer member of Academic Staff, who provides guidance and support over the course of one semester.
The Write Site
Applicant: Dr Nerida Jarkey
'The Write Site' is a collaborative project involving all six faculties in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Learning Centre, University of Sydney.
The project involves creating an online environment that facilitates and supports learning and learning interactions related to the development of skills in academic and professional writing. It will focus on academic and professional writing skills and genres most relevant to first year undergraduates in the Humanities and Social Sciences, and will address the most common learning needs, both developmental and remedial.
The project will facilitate and support learning and teaching interactions in a range of ways. It will provide:
- resources for teachers to use to give feedback to students on common writing problems;
- clear descriptions and examples of common problems;
- clear explanations and examples of strategies to address these problems;
- interactive activities for students to practice these strategies individually;
- tools and suggestions for collaborative writing activities that teachers can integrate into the curriculum for students to practice these strategies in pairs or groups;
- a common metalanguage for discussing aspects of academic writing.
The online environment will be supported by user training and documentation (both online and off-line).

First Trainees Join the Center
Claudia Nau is a demographer and social epidemiologist with interests in measurement issues in health research, and contextual and neighborhood effects on health and obesity. She received both her M.A. and Ph.D. in Sociology and Demography from the Pennsylvania State University and an undergraduate degree in Economic and Social History from the University of Geneva, Switzerland. Claudia has trained in formal demography, spatial analysis and multi-level models. In her work she has paid particular attention to the potentials and limitations of quantitative methods to unravel the complexity of the phenomena they are trying to explain. In her M.A. thesis, she developed a variance decomposition method that decomposes population differences in mortality inequality into their cause-of-death specific underpinnings. Her dissertation grafts a Monte Carlo Simulation experiment on census data to assess the bias introduced into the results of multi-level models by mis-measuring neighborhoods.
In addition to her methodological research, she has conducted research on family and school influences on adolescent obesity, and contextual determinants of obesity-related health behaviors in the elderly. She has also contributed to the quasi-experimental Philadelphia Neighborhood, Food environment, Health and Diet Study, which examines the effects of a grocery store intervention in a food desert. Her research has been published in Social Science and Medicine, Demography and Demographic Methods.
Hong Xue is a second year doctoral student in the Human Nutrition program in International Health at the Bloomberg School of Public Health. He was trained as a health economist and has a PhD in econometric modeling and quantitative methods. His research areas include systems modeling of obesity, chronic disease epidemiology, and quantitative methods in health data analysis. His current research focuses on complex systems analysis of the global childhood obesity epidemic and related non-communicable chronic diseases. In the next three years, his research will be directed toward comparative studies of the childhood obesity between China and the US using a combination of traditional statistical approaches and innovative systems models. Specifically, he would like to examine the longitudinal changes in the food system and dietary patterns since the early 1990s in China, to identify the key contextual drivers of childhood obesity in China's fast changing economic, social and cultural environment. Comparing these drivers with those found in the US based studies, and developing a generic simulation platform for comparative study, will lead to the development of systems models to assess the cost-effectiveness of potential interventions. In the long term, he plans to integrate economics, nutrition epidemiology, and systems science in the research of obesity and obesity-related non-communicable chronic diseases in the global context.
Mehdi Jalalpour is a PhD candidate at the Whiting School of Engineering with extensive systems-oriented research experience. He received the Meyerhoff Fellowship from the department of civil engineering to start his graduate studies. His research involves mathematical modeling of complex systems and has evolved from analysis of engineering structures to more transdisciplinary fields, currently focusing on public health issues such as disaster readiness and epidemic prediction using complex modeling. Recent projects have included CDC funded research interfacing building response with human behavior during seismic events, which uses Agent Based Modeling (ABM) to visualize and explain the evacuation of buildings during and following an earthquake. He is also working on a collaborative project with the School of Medicine to predict influenza outbreaks in Baltimore using time series modeling techniques on publicly available Google data. He has just started work with Dr. Thomas Glass and Dr. Brian Schwartz building systems models for Project 1:"Dynamics of Childhood Obesity in Pennsylvania from Community to Epigenetics". He has gained first hand experience of agent-based modeling, system dynamics modeling, GIS, and data mining and is looking forward to developing and applying his skills within the framework of childhood obesity research.

While I think it was better than some New Hampshire races, it was mainly a stragedy session! All the action was about points and who is doing better in the Chase!
It seens the announcers were the ones telling us how exciting it was instead of the fans!

At any time in the process, you may contact the UCCC Secretary at 682-8076 or the Provost's Office at 784-4710, or email firstname.lastname@example.com. If you would like, you can submit your proposal for a Technical Assistance review even before it goes to the college C & C. You will receive an email listing any additional information required prior to college and UCCC review.
Yes, your department and college must approve your proposal before the UCCC can consider it. If you submit your proposal for technical review prior to receiving your college's approval, the proposal will be reviewed and returned to you for submission to your college committee.
No. All proposals are submitted to the Provost's Office. The Provost's Office will route the proposal to the Graduate Council if necessary. The Graduate Council does not review/approve course proposals, they do consider all graduate level program and catalog changes.
CCN forms are required for undergraduate classes only. They are required for new courses (including cross listed courses), course deletions, or changes to course prefix, number, title and/or credits. Occasionally, we need to send out notifications for description and/or component changes as well. Even if the other institutions do not have the same discipline/prefix, notifications must go out. In this case, we would need to send the notifications to the registrars. For your convenience, technical assistance staff will complete the CCN form if contacted early in the proposal development process. Staff will verify the course number/title, complete the form and notify the other NSHE institutions. The submitter must respond to questions/concerns from the other NSHE institutions. The CCN form allows the other NSHE institutions 10 business days to respond. To avoid delays in processing, contact the technical assistance staff early in the process. If proposals are submitted without the CCN form, staff will complete the form; however, processing of the proposal will be delayed for three weeks. Proposals received without a CCN form at the submission deadline, may be moved to the next meeting agenda.
No. The UCCC now utilizes a Sharepoint site and posts proposals and the supplemental materials electronically so it is not necessary to submit multiple copies. It is preferable to submit proposals electronically. If the proposals have been signed by your college C & C chair, they can be scanned and emailed to email@example.com. If they are being sent electronically but the signature of the college chair is not on the form, you can still submit the proposal but it must be sent via email by the UCCC representative for your college or the UCCC representative must be cc'd on the email. To find the UCCC representative for your college, click here to view the committee membership.
Technical Assistance is a review process performed on proposals prior to being placed on the UCCC agenda. The purpose of this review is to make sure proposal packets are complete prior to being considered by the UCCC thereby reducing potential delays in the approval process. Reviews are performed on course proposals, program proposals and prerequisite changes. This review can take place at any point in the development of the proposal. The review is completed by the Technical Assistance committee which will check to make sure that all necessary paperwork is completed, various databases will be checked for correct course numbers and titles, impacted departments, catalog/AAR references, scheduling, transfer agreements, and potential overlap. Additionally, CCN compliance and implementation information will be verified. CCN forms will be completed and notifications will be sent out if that has not already been done. If the proposal is missing information, you will be notified.
Yes, every meeting has a published deadline for completed proposals to be received in order to be reviewed and included on the upcoming meeting agenda. Proposals must be received in the Provost's Office by 5:00 p.m. on the deadline date. Completed proposals received after this date will be placed in the pending file for the next meeting. Meeting deadlines are published on our calendar. View the committee calendar.
All proposals are reviewed before being placed on the UCCC agenda. You will receive an email regarding this review, and you will be notified that your proposal was complete and has been included on the next agenda or that changes and/or additional information are required. After the meeting minutes have been finalized and approved, you will receive an email notifying you of the committee's decision.
The proposal form includes a field to list your desired implementation date. Usually, a brand new course can be offered the semester following approval. Ideally, changes to existing courses that are scheduled in the upcoming term, should be approved prior to the release of the schedule. This is particularly important for prerequisite changes. If the schedule has already been released, the Office of Admissions and Records will work with the department to assess the feasibility of the desired implementation date. If registration has opened, no changes will be made to existing courses that are scheduled. Please contact the UCCC Secretary at 682-8076 with questions.
Approval beyond the UCCC is required for some changes. For example, a new major or degree program, requires approval from the Board of Regents and the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. The elimination of a major or degree program also requires BOR approval. Changing a few elective choices within an existing undergraduate program would not typically require approval beyond the UCCC. Once your proposal has been approved by the UCCC, the Provost's office will determine whether approval beyond the UCCC is required. The Graduate Council must review and approve changes to Graduate programs before they can be reviewed by the UCCC.
Shortly after the submission deadline passes, you will receive an email advising you of any questions or missing information on your proposal. Please note, if the missing information is not received prior to the preparation of the UCCC meeting agenda, the proposal will be moved to the agenda for the following meeting. The UCCC has a standing policy that incomplete proposals are not to be included on the agenda.
The university's general catalog includes descriptions of every program offered at the university. The general catalog is available online. Please search the online catalog for all references to the course or program that you want to change. You will find the 'Catalog Search" in the upper right hand corner of the online catalog. You can copy and paste program descriptions referencing the course/program directly into the proposal form, or you can create a PDF from the catalog description by using the printer icon at the top of the program listing and attach it to your proposal packet. Please be sure to mark changes clearly. Strikethrough for deletions and red font or highlighting for additions is preferred. New or revised recommended 4-year schedules must be included with descriptions of all undergraduate programs. If your course is referenced in another department's program, they must be advised of the proposed change(s) so they can make any necessary changes to their catalog copy and their AAR, if applicable. If you have questions, please contact the catalog editor at 682-8076.
No, new courses and course changes are automatically included in the course listing.
In Step 5 on the New or Changed Course Proposal form, indicate whether Core status is being requested for the proposed course. Also indicate whether the course will be offered if it does not receive core status. If core status is requested, the Provost's Office will route the proposal to the Core Board for review. Core Board review is independent of the UCCC process.
Please refer to the Cross Listing Guidelines available on this website.
In our old student information system (SIS), whenever a course number was being reused, a suffix had to be added to distinguish the new course from the old course. With our new system, PeopleSoft, we no longer have to add a suffix. If you are submitting a change to a course with an "R" suffix, there is a good chance we can remove it at the same time we are making the other updates to your course.
Please refer to the Guidelines for Course Reactivation available on the Provost's site.
Please see the Syllabus Guidelines and Syllabus Template.
Please refer to the Establishing Lecture/Lab Ratio Guidelines page on this website for the proper procedure.
Editorial catalog change or corrections do not require full UCCC approval; however, all changes do require approval. Please refer to the Editorial Catalog/AAR Change Guideline for more information.
We strive to avoid delays and move the proposals through the process as quickly as possible; however, there are factors that can delay the process. Requesting technical assistance early in the process will insure speedy processing of your proposal. You can also request assistance in the development of your student learning outcomes prior to the submission of your proposal.
Absolutely. In fact, this is probably a good idea just in case questions arise. It would be better for you to be there to address the questions rather than having the committee table the proposal for further information.
The committee meets the first Monday of each month during the academic year. Occasionally, in times of high volume, the committee will also meet on the third Monday. A date may change due to a holiday or some other conflict. The calendar is posted several months in advance. View the calendar. Currently the committee meets at 3:00 p.m. in the Knowledge Center, ATT Lab #114.

|English title
|Shopping path and decision making in front of the shelf: Toward a better understanding of the relationship between in-store consumer behavior and subsequent purchases
|English abstract
|Although shopping behavior becomes more and more important within marketing academic literature, most of research on this topic does not actually observe shopping behavior. Most of the time, it is measured with questionnaires that capture self-reported behavior, which is potentially very different from actual behavior. However, consumer purchases, most of the time decided in store, directly depend on physical shopping behavior (shopping path, alleys that consumer visits or avoids, products he passes by, actions he performs in front of shelves, products he grabs, investigates, tries and eventually abandons or chooses). This dissertation's main idea is to study in-store physical shopping behavior. This thesis is divided into two studies. The first study aims at better understanding what physical shopping behavior is: get an intelligible picture of this behavior by determining what its main dimensions are as well as its relationships with purchases. The second study aims at using the information contained in physical shopping behavior in order to improve a probabilistic model of purchase analysis: market basket analysis. Both these studies allow investigating a different angle of the main topic. Together, they bring original insights about in-store shopping behavior. To reach our research objectives, we have developed a new data collection tool allowing to unobtrusively observe consumers, and capture and time-stamp each of their precise actions during the entire shopping trip

These are a few of my favorite photos from Lines Orchids' Spring inventory. All of these photos are intended for Facebook and Instagram use except for the second image. The second image in this series is one of many taken on behalf of Southern Living magazine. Lines will be in the May 2014 issue in a spotlight on Chattanooga shopping.
As you can see, I loved the white patio table near the back window - the natural light in that area was a beautiful and consistent temperature, the texture of the tabletop was interesting but not overwhelming.
*this is the only project on my website where I was not the photographer of my work. All of these photos were shot by Maura Friedman, all video by Kenneth Munoz*
This has been my biggest project of 2014. I created artwork for glassware, printed the glasses by hand, styled tables, and arranged all bouquets and the hanging branch display. The list of what I contributed to the show goes by so quickly but took hundreds of hours - most of them in the last few days before the event. I was by no means the only person working long hours for this event. Kelly Fitzgerald of Society of Work handled all of the coordination and promotion, Sarah Ervin provided all material for styling and created displays for the photo booth and bar as well as moved all major furniture in and out of the building in the days surrounding the event... the list goes on. All photography credits go to Maura Friedman, my good friend who offered to take photos of the display on her lunch break before I was scheduled to dismantle everything. Kenneth Munoz spent hours filming and editing event trailers as well as the video included on my page. They were all incredible to work with as were the members of Society of Work who put up with days of distracting branch-hanging.
I love being a part of events like this. To be creative outside of a computer or camera screen is a great feeling and this project was so hands-on and fulfilling in a no-computers-needed kind of way.
I'm especially proud of the hanging display and the flower arrangements, the former being nearly impossible to capture on camera. They were so beautiful and atmospheric.
Graphics, photography, copy writing help, and campaign design - I work with this author on anything she needs. Her website is handled by someone else but I help with all social media work from e-newsletters to Facebook graphics to auto-responders. She outputs two to four graphics a week and has, since the release of her last book, initiated a contest before she starts promoting the release of her third book. We collaborated on concept of the campaign, deciding that a recipe contest would fit the interests of her readership and dovetails nicely into a subplot of the story in which her main character cannot cook and is about to be a wife and mother with the need to do more than make poptarts (< we talk about this in one of the graphics).
This project just started but the next step in the process is for "Davis" to make a recipe once a month, photograph it, and post the process for the readers to enjoy. The winners whose recipes are made by Davis receive a gift-package with the first two books, a monogrammed apron with the Burnt by Davis logo, and a set of tea towels. I will create and shoot the making of the recipe with Gretchen writing the copy for the recipe. We'll actually be keeping every recipe submitted to then turn into a pdf booklet so that all users who contributed to the contest will receive acknowledgement and not feel as though any favoritism has been shown to some readers over others.
I'm not active on Facebook so working with Gretchen Archer and Lines Orchids allows me to gauge what kind of advertising works on Facebook. We talk regularly about the culture of Facebook and it's users, what works and what doesn't, who is running interesting self-promotional campaigns.
This is Bently, the author's famous Yorkie. Her readership is big on pets and they love this kind of insight into her life. Pictures and mention of Bently have been a genuine community-builder among her followers.
Larissa Reinhart, author of the Cherry Trucker Mystery Series, is getting ready to issues graphics via her Facebook and Pinterest pages. These are mock-ups of some logos and type combinations that I submitted for her approval and edits.
She provided all copy and guidance as to the voice and look of her books. Working with authors like Larissa has become one of my favorite freelance pursuits - these women are so funny, eloquent and creative.
This past winter I created Tinsel App with two developer friends Summer and Luke Prince and Kenneth Munoz. The idea was to make three suites of pretty, hand-drawn holiday-themed graphics to overlay on photos. Our app developers created a working app that is available with 64 different overlays in the Andriod store and has received over 70,000 downloads since December 1st.
I created all of the overlay graphics, the logo, and buttons. It was a project that was conceived and executed in a matter of weeks and was rushed to the Google Play store with careful attention the functionality and artwork but with a very simple interface. Given more time, I would have liked to turn out a more refined interface. However, people seem to like it! And I couldn't have worked with more diligent and talented developers.
My two-time college roommate was an artist who excelled in the use recycled material - not just in her artwork but in all things. This made for some weird cooking and soap-making projects, but in terms of creative work, her stuff had such a strong sense of purpose and direction. Probably because was guided by a great principle - don't let pretty material go to waste.
These paper cuts / collages are made from paper from old books that I amassed over the years, books I wanted stop moving between houses but didn't want to throw away. Children's books, old travel books, graduate school catalogues and old issues of Anthropologie as well as some misprints from my risograph duplicator. These hung in Mean Mug Coffee House from October to December of 2013.
This was the e-invite to my show in October. It was headed out to just close family and friends so I wanted it to be delightful and different since they were already committed to coming. I made all of the lettering, scanned it in and loosely laid it out on the invite. I love brush lettering, although I'm doing it with much more precision these days. At the time of the show I just needed something quick and cute.
Flower arrangements for my Papercuts show - this was such a beautiful project. I made five or six of these arrangements in this combination of roses, black-eyed susans and rosemary.
A few of my favorites from the Fall 2013 inventory at Lines Orchids.
The owner of the family business has an incredible talent for purchasing and interior design and I collaborate with her to style her latest home and gift items. Our intention with her store photos is to represent the products and lifestyle of Lines Orchids in a way that appeals to consumers who patronize brands like Terain, Anthropologie, Martha Stewart, and Real Simple.
Sometimes we simplify the styling of the products so there is a clearly represented item for purchase, other times we work on getting store layouts in order to encourage interest in visiting the store's location in Warehouse Row.
Interesting side-note - one of these photos was chosen for a VSCO grid spotlight.
This was a birthday present for my sister who went to Charleston for college and considers it a second home. I created the graphics and then printed this on my risograph duplicator - the wrinkling of the paper screen inside the machine causes the cool rippling on the surface in the printed object. I love this machine for this reason. It takes harsh graphics and makes them so soft and beautiful.
This lettermark accompanied a video produced by ESPWA. They wanted something simple and handmade to overlay the opening scene of a video filmed on location in Haiti and shown at fundraising events. Video shot and edited by Kenneth Munoz.

This company is so neat - they are a family-owned operation based out of Portland, OR, who make walled canvas tents with multiple rooms. We found them, however, because we were looking for nice canvas bags for our Summer 2013 road trip. When the bag arrived in the mail it was even cooler than expected so we thought we'd take them out and promote them a bit on Kenneth's blog.
After looking for a version of their logo to use over photos we decided it would be a pretty easy / fun task to clean up their existing logo just a bit. So I did, mostly for practice and a fun project but also in the event that we wanted to overlay the logo on photos.

An Open Letter to Fellow SH&E Professionals from ASSE President Chris Patton
I am writing this letter to ask you to make a personal commitment to help our fellow safety, health and environmental professionals who are out of work during these harsh economic times.
In my brief time as your society president, I have come to learn of the devastating personal effects that this recession has had on too many of our friends, colleagues and fellow ASSE members. I have heard difficult stories about the impact of extended job searches, the financial strain on families, the stress on spouses and children, and the health issues related to anxiety and lack of sleep worrying about the future.Read the full letter

There were times when trains like the locally named 'West Coast Highlander' hauled freight trains along the small branch lines that ran from the main lines to the small rural towns and villages of the British Isles. This set includes a smart 4-wheel locomotive and a selection of wagons which emulate those small local trains of days gone by. The oval of track with siding add a degree of operational interest as wagons have to be shunted to and fro allowing them to be dropped off and picked up on the track.
Recapture one of the most momentous events in the history of steam with the celebratory Hornby Flight of the Mallard train set.
This stunning model was originally released to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Mallard achieving the world speed record for steam locomotives in 1938.
It includes the legendary locomotive itself as it looked in the run up to its record attempt, painted in its famous Express locomotive colour of Garter Blue.
Accompanying the locomotive are a large oval of track with siding and buffer stop and 3 LNER teak effect coaches, with additional coaches available from the RailRoad range.
It was in July 1938 that on the East Coast Mainline route just south of Grantham that the Mallard was recorded travelling at 126mph, snatching the record from the German railway by just 1.5mph and a record that still stands to this day for a steam engine.
This remarkable set has everything you need to let you mark this truly legendary achievement.
Useful info:
- Hornby Flight of the Mallard set
- Includes the Mallard locomotive
- Celebrate breaking the world speed record
- Comes with 3 coaches

text: I was wondering how many people have problems with their teeth or gums due to lupus? I went to see my dentist recently and he told me that my "teeth were loose" and he thinks it is from lupus, or perhaps the medication I am on. I take good care of my teeth and was shocked to hear that there was something wrong with my teeth or gums. The nurse at my doc's office said it is probably from lupus. Has anyone else heard of this or have issues with their teeth?

Before Monday officially rolls in I thought it only appropriate to further disseminate a Samsung rumor. Supposedly called the Omnia Pro, the handset will build upon the already successful Omnia line up, but add a few features that will probably appeal to the conservative smartphone user. So what should we expect, assuming the rumor is true? A 3.5-inch 800 x 480 AMOLED touchscreen display, slide out QWERTY keyboard, 5mp camera with flash and video recording and Windows Mobile 6.1. Rumor says the Omnia Pro will hit in July, but let's hope some additional info leaks out before then to firm things up. Oh, and that pic, it's a mockup.

Rihanna's struck platinum once again. Billboard reports that according to Nielsen Soundscan, her latest album, Unapologetic , has crossed the one million sales mark, making it her sixth platinum album.
Unapologetic is Rihanna's seventh album, and her first to hit #1 on the Billboard album chart, thanks in part to the massive hits "Diamonds" and "Stay." It reached the platinum mark in 27 weeks; Rihanna's previous disc, Talk that Talk , took 43 weeks to reach the same total.
Of Rihanna's seven albums, all but one of them -- her debut, Music of the Sun -- have sold platinum or more. That one has "only" gone gold. Her best seller remains 2007's Good Girl Gone Bad , which has moved 2.8 million copies. It features the smash singles "Umbrella," "Don't Stop the Music" and "Hate That I Love You."

Driving down the street you notice a certain stiffness with the steering. Not the usual play that you expect, it almost seems that a bit of resistance is taking place. No matter, you continue down the road and forget about it as the problem has seemed to have gone away. The next day you start your car up and as you back out of the driveway it happens again. This time, you do everything in your power to avoid hitting your neighbor's lawn statue. There is little give in your steering. A check under your hood may reveal that your car's steering rack is the culprit. If so, you need to get it replaced before serious trouble sets in. You see, when your car is cold that is when steering rack problems are most noticeable. Eventually, as the part continues to wear your steering problem will worsen. Can you imagine being on the freeway and not being able to steer clear of something in the road. That can be dangerous, even deadly. Yes, we stock steering racks and we have one for your car. Check our online catalog and order your part today. Our web store never closes.
Choosing the Right Steering Rack
When it is separated from your entire steering system, the steering rack might look like a worthless metal rod. But without the steering rack, your car would not be able to maneuver through the streets. So if your steering wheel starts feeling a little loose or you suddenly notice your tires are misaligned, it's about time you replace your steering rack.
Know your steering system
Since your steering rack is part of bigger system-the rack-and-pinion assembly-the type of steering rack you need would depend on the steering system you have on your car. Most cars are powered by normal rack-and-pinion steering. The steering rack for this kind of rack-and-pinion gear set is relatively easy to spot. It's a simple, lightweight rack with differently sized metal teeth. Unlike a simple steering system, a power steering system's rack has a slightly different design and contains more parts. On the middle of the steering rack, you'll find a cylinder with a piston. This piston is designed with two fluid ports to direct higher-pressure fluid to one of its side and eventually provide the power needed to steer your car. So if your car has a power steering system installed, finding the right steering rack can be more tedious. Aside from looking at the quality and fit of the rack for a power steering system, you should also inspect the fluid ports and their compatibility with your steering system's fluid lines.
Purchase the entire assembly
Whether you have a normal rack-and-pinion system or a power-assisted one, be sure that your steering rack includes fittings for inner tie rods. This ensures that everything will fit perfectly with the entire system. This will also help you prevent leaks. Another advantage of purchasing the entire assembly instead of just one part is that there are no core changes made on the assembly. This eliminates the hassle of returning your old part for a core refund. So remember, when buying a new steering rack, don't just buy the rack-buy the complete assembly for a more direct fit and increased life span.
Check the warranty
As with any part of your car, never purchase without a warranty. This saves you time, effort, and money if the serviced part is not functioning as expected. The standard warranty for steering racks is for one year. The mileage terms will vary according to the type of steering system you have. Since a normal rack-and-pinion steering has less moveable parts (add to this the fact that it's usually used for smaller loads), it is usually covered by an unlimited mileage warranty. On the other hand, the more complicated system, like a power steering system, is more susceptible to wear. Therefore, it does not have the same warranty terms as a normal system. Distributors and sellers usually cover 15,000 to 18,000 miles.
Installing a New Steering Rack on Your Power Steering System
Does your wheel feel a little loose? Do you hear thudding and clunking sounds when you drive? Are your tires more worn than they should be? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then there might be something wrong with your steering rack. Before your whole steering system gets worse, replace your steering rack with these easy steps:
Difficulty level: Easy
Things you'll need:
- Jack
- Jack stands
- Brake line wrench set
- Power steering fluid
- Ratchet and socket set
- New steering rack
Step 1: Lift and secure your car using a jack and jack stands. You will be crawling underneath your vehicle to work on your steering rack, so be sure that your car is properly secured. Also see to it that your wheels are straight and the steering wheel is locked before working on the rack itself.
Step 2: Once you've got a good view of your steering rack, remove the tie rod ends from the steering knuckles using a wrench.
Step 3: Now that you've loosen all the bolts and attachments, locate your power steering lines. It is usually connected to the rack with the brake line wrenches. Since these lines carry a lot of pressure, crack them first before loosening.
Step 4: Remove the bolts from the steering rack and pull this off from the column. Remember that before unbolting the rack from the frame, it should be properly supported with either your hand or a spare set of jack stands.
Step 5: Put your new steering rack in place. Center it before completely installing the rack. Reassemble all the other parts that were removed in steps 2 to 4 in reverse order.
Step 6: Properly secure all bolts and make sure everything is in place before testing your installation job. To test your new steering rack, unlock your steering wheel (while your car is still lifted) and turn the wheels from side to side 10 times. Aside from knowing if you've installed the rack correctly, testing your steering rack will also help work the air out of the power steering system.

"I find several things challenging when I translate Korean into English. One is repetition: Korean novels can meander and repeat words or phrases or parts of scenes, but that doesn't translate well into English. It tends to read like a mistake. And to find the right balance between the author's voice and English literary conventions is fairly difficult. Another is the fluidity of tenses. For Please Look After Mom, there was a lot of confusion among English speaking readers about the chronology of events, especially when a character, in the middle of a present scene, reminisces about past events, and from there, refers to past events that are closer to the present, or even further in the past. The editor, the author, and I, played with page breaks and making new paragraphs and moving paragraphs around before we settled on the final version."
"Singular 'their' etc., was an accepted part of the English language before the 18th-century grammarians started making arbitrary judgements as to what is 'good English' and 'bad English', based on a kind of pseudo-'logic' deduced from the Latin language, that has nothing whatever to do with English. "
(Update: domain expired, have changed link to mirror, thanks Steve!)
"We all know that we refer to a group of fish as a 'school' and a group of elephants as a 'herd.' […] Where did such terms come from — and why are they needed?
"[…] In the very little Chinese I learned as a child, I recall that there are such terms in the Chinese language. These 'modifiers' typically accompany the noun and often refer to quantity or measure. There's a generic modifier ('ge'), but use of a modifier specific to the noun is far preferred. My mother cautioned me that to use 'ge' instead of the specific modifier is a sign of lack of education. As an American-born Chinese, learning Chinese was tough enough without having to learn a gaggle of modifying terms! Perhaps that's why I gave up studying Chinese (much to my later regret).
"So there's an answer parallel with the English 'why' question: to indicate degree of education. But the Chinese language has a much more fundamental reason for having such modifiers."
