MEDWAY, MA -- Cybex International Inc. reported second quarter 2010 net sales of $27.7 million, a net loss of $0.4 million from the same period last year when the company reported $27.8 million, according to financials released today.
That loss was better than the second quarter 2009 loss, which was $2.1 million.
For the six months ended June 26, 2010, net sales were $53.8 million compared to $56.7 million for 2009. The loss for the six months was $1.1 million compared to a net loss of $3.5 million for the same six months in 2009.
John Aglialoro, chairman and CEO of Cybex, Medway, MA, attributed the stabilization to management decisions undertaken in the last six quarters.
"We've invested heavily in marketing, going against the tide of our competitors," Aglialoro said in a conference call with stockholders and analysts today. "We see it as a way to improve our branding and penetration in the marketplaces we serve."
Part of those marketing efforts includes promoting the Cybex Arc Trainer as a product that will make the elliptical obsolete. In that vein, the company recently signed a contract with the NBC reality TV show "The Biggest Loser" to use the Arc Trainers rather than ellipticals in the fall season of the show, Aglialoro said.
He also mentioned that the company's move to concentrate more heavily on the university, military, and fire and police markets was a factor in the stabilization. He hired consultants with experience in these markets to better reach these sectors. The company still maintains a presence in the health club market, but that segment has faced more pressure lately from low-priced clubs, which has led to reduced spending in this market, he said.
Cybex's sales people have concentrated on using financing to get sales during the quarter, Aglialoro said.
North American sales were down 5 percent in the quarter compared to second quarter 2009, according to Art Hicks, president and COO, who also participated on the call. International sales were up by 12 percent.
Cardio sales were $15.7 million in the quarter. Arc Trainers made up $6.9 million of that. Overall cardio sales in second quarter 2009 had been $15.8 million, with Arc Trainer sales accounting for $7 million of that, according to Hicks.
Strength sales in second quarter 2010 were $9.2 million compared to $9.3 million in the same period 2009.
Aglialoro said the company is still investing in research and development and will have a new treadmill for release at the end of the year.

Basslines ASB5s and Aguilar OBP-1 Shown
The Gecko works well as a one or two pickup bass. You'll want to choose your pickups to match your tone needs and playing style.
Two pickups offer broad frequency response and a wider variety of tones, while a single pickups can deliver a more focused midrange
sound and leave more room to dig in under the strings.
Most players prefer an active system for a 5 or 6 string bass to get the most out of the low B, and the Gecko is designed to accept
a wide range of active electronics packages. Active pickups can deliver a more modern, brilliant tone, while passive pickups with an
active preamp can give you a vintage vibe while retaining plenty of low-end punch.
Active and passive pickups can be used with a passive tone control that rolls off highs, or with an active EQ circuit that allows you
to boost or cut frequencies. Passive tone controls give you a simplified control layout, while onboard EQ gives you more tone shaping flexibility.

Real Salt Lake didn't play their best during their season finale, but at the end of the day, they got a result with a miraculous brace in stoppage time against the Colorado Rapids.
While the 2-2 draw put them in position to take advantage of a slip-up by the LA Galaxy on Sunday to win the Supporters' Shield, RSL didn't get the help they needed from FC Dallas, who gave up two goals en route to a 2-1 loss. As a result, the defending champs finished three points behind first-place LA in the final standings.
WATCH: Highlights: COL 2, RSL 2
Head coach Jason Kreis mentioned that he was happy with the result, "as long as our guys take the responsibility and accountability for the fact that we knew that [the performance] was not good enough."
The result means that Real Salt Lake will face off against FC Dallas on Saturday at Pizza Hut Park. FCD suffered their first loss since May 20 to RSL, and there's no doubt they'll be looking to avenge the result.
On their part, RSL will be looking to at least hold ground on the road in anticipation of coming back to Rio Tinto Stadium for the second leg.
[inline_node:321620]Man of the Match
The man of the match was clearly Alvaro Saborio, who almost single-handled brought his team back from the brink of defeat.
Saborío's 18 goals in 32 games across all competitions is probably the best single season performance by an RSL forward since Jeff Cunningham's 16-goal, Golden Boot-winning season in 2006.
Penalty Controversy?
After the match, both Rapids coach Gary Smith and Brian Mullan, who committed the foul that led to the game-tying penalty kick, questioned the call.
"I got elbowed right before the kick," said Mullan. "It kind of shocked me. I just locked [Jamison Olave] up. He just ran over me [and] fell down."
Replays showed that Mullan had both arms around Olave and clearly took him down in the area.
Kyle Beckerman described the call: "[Mullan] had locked hands around [Olave] and just kind of suplexed him."
Rocky Mountain High
By tying, RSL retained the Rocky Mountain Cup for the fourth consecutive year. Both encounters between Colorado and RSL ended in draws thanks to last-minute heroics by Nat Borchers and Saborío, respectively.
According to the rules determined by representatives of both clubs' supporters groups, if the teams are tied in aggregate goals, the Cup is retained by the current holder.
Beckerman, who played for the Rapids before being traded to RSL, he has been on the winning side for all six years of the Cup's existence.
Defensive History
Despite surrendering two goals – just the second time since April – Real Salt Lake set the league record for the fewest goals allowed in a season. The 20 goals allowed bested the mark of 23 set by Houston in 2007.
Unfortunately, the second goal by Colorado kept RSL from tying the record for fewest away goals in a season set by D.C. United in 2005 with 13.
Rimando Saves
The defense was driven by the clean sheet, or as the RSL players like to refer to it, "the zero."
Nick Rimando had 14 clean sheets on the season, second to the 16 shutouts Tony Meola registered for the Kansas City Wizards in 2000.
Rimando also finished with a 0.67 GAA, which second to Dallas' Kevin Hartman, who finished with a 0.62 GAA.

Stairway to heaven
Some of Hinduism's most important sacred sites are on Bali. If you don't mind long treks and steep steps, oriental splendor awaits you – and possibly even enlightenment.
Slumbering on Bali's eastern tip lies Agung, the volcano that to Hindus represents the center of the universe. A little further to the south, the Pura Luhur Lempuyan temple site is a popular tourist destination. The 1700-step climb to the top leads up broad stairways and terraces and past tall, lava-stone walls and white bell towers. Along the way, you will come upon the Pura Penataran Agung Lempuyang temple with its split portal pointing straight at the sacred volcano – as though from here, believers could step into another world.

Roster Moves
As expected, LHP J. A. Happ joined the Phillies in DC today from Lehigh Valley, taking Adam Eaton's spot on the pitching staff. Happ was 7-6, 3.30 ERA in 20 games this season for the IronPigs. He's leading the International League with 127 strikeouts (117 innings). J. A. started the season, 0-3, 5.59 in first 4 AAA starts.
That was this morning.
Then, this afternoon, 3B Mike Cervenak was recalled from Lehigh Valley to replace Pedro Feliz, put on the 15-day DL with a lower back inflammation.
Cervenak, a 31-year-old U. of Michigan grad, was hitting .320 in 99 games (23 doubles, 7 HR, 56 RBI) at LV and riding a 14-game hitting streak, .421 (24-56). After 9 years in the minors, he made his major league debut with the Phillies earlier this month. He was signed as a minor league free agent last December.
The right-handed hitter is a .298 career minor league hitter.
Greg Legg, hitting coach at Lakeland, has replaced Roly de Armas on Manuel's staff. De Armas is a member of the USA Olympic Team staff. He's expected back shortly after the August 23 Gold Medal Game.
4 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, is the trading deadline on Thursday.
Pat Gillick, Ruben Amaro and Mike Arbuckle have set up a war room in the hotel in Washington, DC. Of course, the old days of using hotel phones have gone out of the window with cell phones. Their cell phones will be busy between now and then.
Adding a lefty in the bullpen is the primary focus.
Once the deadline line is passed, players can still be moved but have to clear waivers first. The Phillies have picked up Jeff Conine and Jamie Moyer (both 2006) and Cory Lidle (2004) that way.
So, don't panic if Thursday comes and goes.
Jayson Stark of ESPN.com had an interesting note about starting pitchers recently. Of starters traded at the deadline, the last one to win a World Series game was Jeff Weaver of the Cardinals two years ago.
Over in the A. L.? Try Mike Torrez with the Yankees….30 seasons ago.
Juan Samuel wore # 8 in his Phillies career. He is being inducted into the Wall of Fame on 8-8-08.
Happy Anniversary
On this date in Phillies history (1983), we purchased Larry Andersen from our AAA team in Portland, OR. He was on loan from Seattle's Salt Lake City team in the same Pacific Coast League. For some reason, Seattle didn't want him on their AAA team.
Once loaned, he's now a fixture in Philadelphia. Just another heart-warming success story.

Aww, Larry. Lakeland? 😦 Poor Gregg Legg gets to the majors and Lakewood gets called Lakeland. 🙂

Terrick's semester at sea
On Saturday July 14, a former student of the Haley Elementary School ( he now attends the Rogers Middle School), Terrick Beazer left Boston to board the schooner Roseway as part of the Summer Ambassador Program. This program sends students ages 12-16 to Halifax Nova Scotia for 20 days. While at sea students learn and practice seamanship and navigation.
You can find regular updates, reports, and photos of Terrick's experience here: http://worldoceanschool.org/ships-log
Terrick was sponsored by Boston Family Boat Building, a BPS partner. Family Boat Building has worked with the Haley Elementary School for 5 years. It looks to expand to other BPS schools in the future.

The Californian practice XTEN Architetects realised this residential extension designed to display a private collection of contemporary art and a home office. The cantilevered new structure, a system of lightweight braced frames, is grafted onto the circulation spine of the existing house and lifted off the ground to provide a minimal footprint.
"The owners' collection includes work by the artists Gregory Crewdson, Uta Barth, Tomoroy Dodge and the video artist Jennifer Steinkamp, and they wanted a new building that would be more than just a container for their art collection. The new gallery extension is multivalent, with different spaces for presenting artworks, while also opening to hillside views, incorporating a home office, and creating a compelling new focal point for the approach and entry to the property."
"Freeing the ground plane creates a new hardscape/landscape area for the family that they use as carport, children's play area, for art parties and video projections.
A structural system of lightweight braced frames was developed to achieve the double cantilevers at each end of the trapezoidal building, which were factory built and assembled by crane in one day. These trusses rest upon moment frames that clear span the open ground plane in the perpendicular direction, allowing the floor and roof diaphragms to be framed conventionally. The system proved to be a remarkably simple, flexible and cost-effective way to achieve the program parameters of the project."
"The remaining details of dark quartz pebble flooring, white steel stairs and perforated steel railings, full height pivot doors, and walls of UV treated glass are designed as a quiet backdrop to the artworks and natural surroundings. An array of photovoltaic cells on the South facing sloped roof produces an average of 15kWh per day, enough to supply all the energy for the new building with a surplus directed towards the main house."

A gang member has been convicted of murdering an off-duty Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy as he prepared to go to work nearly five years ago.
Jurors on Thursday found 22-year-old Jose Renteria guilty of the first-degree murder of Deputy Juan Abel Escalante. The panel also found Renteria guilty of the attempted murder of another man in 2007. He is scheduled to be sentenced March 4 and faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Prosecutors say Escalante was killed outside his home. The 27-year-old father of three wasn't in uniform and authorities say he was mistaken for a rival gang member.
The gunman, Carlos Velasquez, pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to life in prison without chance of parole.

Cody Eakin, Jamie Benn and Ray Whitney scored goals early in the third period to break open a tie game and help the Dallas Stars cruise to a 5-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday night.
Vernon Fiddler and Erik Cole also found the back of the net and Kari Lehtonen returned from a three-game absence due to a groin injury to stop 37 shots for the Stars, who are 6-1-0 in their last seven games.
Dallas moved into a tie with Detroit for ninth in the Western Conference, trailing Columbus for the eighth and final playoff spot by two points. The Stars have five games remaining, including one against the Blue Jackets in Dallas on April 25 and the finale against Detroit at home on April 27.
Derek Roy, who was traded from Dallas at the trade deadline on April 2, scored for Vancouver, which had a chance to clinch a playoff spot with a win. The Canucks lead the Northwest Division by four points over Minnesota, which was playing San Jose in a late game.
Cory Schneider made 25 saves for the Canucks, who are 5-2-1 in their last eight outings and concluded a season-long five-game road trip with a 2-2-1 mark.
Dallas spotted the Canucks a 1-0 lead, tied it late in the second period and then scored three goals within the first 7:03 of the third. Lehtonen was outstanding in goal along the way.
With the teams tied 1-1 heading into the final period, the Stars' offensive assault began with Eakin's seventh of the season just 1:36 into the third. After slipping past Canucks defender Cam Barker at the blue line, Eakin rifled a wrist shot from the high slot that beat Schneider between the pads.
Benn recorded his third goal in the last two games at 4:09 when a botched exchange between Alex Burrows and Keith Ballard at the Vancouver blue line allowed Benn to race in on a breakaway. His perfectly placed wrist shot from the high slot beat Schneider over the blocker for his 11th of the year.
Whitney completed the barrage with his 11th goal at 7:03. Benn, stationed in front, deflected Brenden Dillon's snap shot from the left point, forcing Schneider to make a strong pad save, but the rebound spit out to the left of the crease, where a wide-open Whitney popped it over his pad and in.
The Canucks nearly got one back with 4:52 remaining when Zack Kassian's wrist shot from the right faceoff circle beat Lehtonen past the glove but pinged off the right post.
Dallas capped off the triumph with Cole's power play goal with 1:42 left, coming off a wrist shot from the slot that beat Schneider past the blocker, just inside the left post.
Roy opened the scoring 6:38 into the second period with his second goal in eight games with the Canucks. He chased down a loose puck in the Dallas zone, blowing past Stars blue-liner Alex Goligoski in the process, and then made a wide move to his backhand before lifting the puck past Lehtonen.
Vancouver had been controlling the second period, outshooting the Stars 10-1 by the halfway point, but Maxim Lapierre's interference penalty at 10:03 put Dallas on the power play and 6 seconds after the penalty expired, Fiddler notched his fourth of the year. Following a scramble in front, Eric Nystrom batted the bouncing puck over to a wide-open Fiddler at the right side of the slot for a quick one-timer past Schneider at 12:09.
Dallas surged with the momentum and nearly took the lead at 15:32 after Barker's turnover set up Ryan Garbutt for a point-blank one-timer, but Schneider made a brilliant glove save.
On another power play in the closing seconds of the period, the Stars almost got one with 5.4 seconds remaining. Eakin's wrist shot from the high slot clanked off the right goal post, then pinballed off Alex Edler's back and bounced back toward the goal line, but Andrew Alberts knifed his stick along the line, knocking it back under Schneider. A mad scramble ensued and Cole managed to slide it home, but the referee had started to blow the whistle before he shot it, nullifying the goal.
NOTES: Vancouver D Kevin Bieksa missed his second game in a row with a groin injury, while fellow blue-liner Christopher Tanev missed his sixth straight with a leg ailment. ... Dallas rookie RW Alex Chiasson, who scored six goals and an assist in his first seven NHL contests after his recall from AHL Texas, sat out due to a shoulder injury. He is listed as day to day. ... The Stars honored former D Sergei Zubov for being part of their 20th anniversary all-time team. Zubov, who played in Dallas from 1996-2009, was a key part of the franchise's 1999 Stanley Cup team.

I am hooked, and highly recommend this product to anyone who will listen!
I have been interested in adding bugs to my diet for quite some time, but while specialty shops were popping up in trendy areas, there was nothing near me. And buying candy with a worm in it was not idea of heath. So I was very excited to find out I can order some high quality ground crockets, ready to use in my own recipes. Since I don't eat dairy, eggs or gluten, it was also helpful to know, that this was a pure powder, rather than a product "enriched with crickets". To date, I have successfully used this product in the following recipes: pancakes, brownies, falafel, tofu scramble and pasta sauce. The powder adds a negligible "popcorn" favor to the recipe, however it packs a punch in terms of nutrition! I am hooked, and highly recommend this product to anyone who will listen!

Christiansen, Thomas U. (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Nonsense syllable speech materials are often used when investigating speech perception in quiet and under adverse conditions. The main advantage of using nonsense syllables over words and sentences is that the acoustic as well as linguistic context is minimal. This paper describes the considerations involved in producing three anechoic recordings of 14 male and 14 female native talkers of Danish each speaking 65 nonsense syllables repeated three times with falling F0 (total of 16380 syllables).

Abstract: Parallel treebanks have received increasing attention in the past few years, primarily due to their potential use in statistical machine translation. Creating parallel treebanks manually is a time-consuming and expensive task and for this reason there is considerable interest in creating treebanks automatically. This task can be solved using standard tools such as parsers and aligners. However, because parallel treebanks are based on parallel corpora, we are in a special situation where the same meaning is represented in two different ways. This thesis is about how we can exploit this information to create better parallel treebanks than we can by using standard tools.... URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8385

Dependency-based machine translation and parallel parsing without the projectivity and edge-factoring assumptionsA white paperBuch-Kromann, Matthias (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In this white paper, we review the theoretical evidence about the computational efficiency of dependency parsing and machine translation without the widely used, but linguistically questionable assumptions about projectivity and edge-factoring. On the basis of the heuristic local optimality parser proposed by (Buch-Kromann, 2006), we propose a common architecture for monolingual parsing, parallel parsing, and translation that does not make these assumptions. Finally, we describe the elementary repair operations in the model, and argue that the model is potentially interesting as a model of human translation. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6846

Abstract: DTAG is a versatile annotation tool that supports manual and semi-automatic annotation of a wide range of linguistic phenomena, including the annotation of syntax, discourse, coreference, morphology, and word alignments. It includes commands for editing general labeled graphs and graph alignments, comparing annotations, managing annotation tasks, and interfacing with a revision control system. Its visualization component can display graphs and alignments for entire texts in a compact format, with a highly flexible and configurable formatting scheme. It also provides a powerful search-replace mechanism with queries based on full first-order logic, which can be used to search for linguistic constructions and automatically apply graph transformations to collections of annotated graphs.

Towards Leveraging the Frontline for Strategic Issue Identification under UncertaintyHallin, Carina Antonia; Juul Andersen, Torben; Levine, Sheen S.; Tveterås, Sigbjørn (Frederiksberg, 2015)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper presents different corporate prediction aggregation techniques and introduces a new type of prediction mechanism linking the sensing of operational capabilities by frontline employees to the identification of fuzzy events and emerging strategic issues as 'early warning signals'. Based on the literatures on prediction markets and fuzzy logic the methodology collects information from many diverse frontline employees to develop valid signaling predictors. Individuals in the frontline gain deep insights as they perform operational activities in direct interactions with many internal and external stakeholders and we tap into this unique knowledge source to identify new issues and opportunities for ongoing strategic decision-making. Aggregating dispersed information from crowds is not a new phenomenon. The capacity to aggregate heterogeneous and dispersed information from the environment is seen as a critical input for strategic decision making [Arrow, 1974; Hayek, 1945; Stinchcombe, 1990]. Hayek's notion of information aggregation and dispersed knowledge, has established the foundations for prediction markets where the main objective of prediction markets is to create accurate predictions of given issues of interest, and such markets have demonstrated that crowds have the ability to predict outcomes [Berg, Forsythe and Rietz, 1996; 1997; Thompson, 2012: Wolfers and Zitzewitz, 2004]. Corporate prediction markets take various forms. Borrowing from the concepts used by Spann and Skiera (2003), they refer to the evolution in prediction aggregation as first-generation (G1) and second-generation (G2) prediction markets. In G1 markets participating employees invest in the outcome of already defined problems, such as, forecasts on next quarter's sales volume, market entries by new competitors or performance of certain markets. In recent years, G2 markets, preference markets, aggregate predictions from the firm's stakeholders about the probable success rates of various product concepts and ideas [Slamka, Jank and Skiera, 2012]. Hence, the participants in G1 and G2 prediction markets typically invest in the outcome of predefined time constrained issues. Here we propose a spring-off mechanism to G1 and G2 markets based on predictions without markets of fuzzy events or emerging issues not yet clearly defined, but nonetheless evolving phenomena to consider for responsive strategies. The notion of an event and its related probability constitute the most basic concepts of probability theory. An event is an accurately specified collection of points in a sample range. In contrast, in everyday life individuals often encounter situations in which an "event" is fuzzy and rather ill-defined than being a sharply defined collection of points [Zadeh, 1965]. We draw on fuzzy sets theory that offers mathematical models to deal with information that is uncertain and vague. That is, our contribution proposes formalized tools to deal with the intrinsic fuzziness in decision making problems [Fisher, 2003]. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9145

Abstract: Eye tracking has been used successfully as a technique for measuring cognitive load in reading, psycholinguistics, writing, language acquisition etc for some time now. Its application as a technique for automatically measuring the reading ease of MT output has not yet, to our knowledge, been tested. We report here on a preliminary study testing the use and validity of an eye tracking methodology as a means of semi- and/or automatically evaluating machine translation output. 50 French machine translated sentences, 25 rated as excellent and 25 rated as poor in an earlier human evaluation, were selected. 10 native speakers of French were instructed to read the MT sentences for comprehensibility. Their eye gaze data were recorded non-invasively using a Tobii 1750 eye tracker. The average gaze time and fixation count were found to be higher for the "bad" sentences, while average fixation duration and pupil dilations were not found to be substantially different between output rated as good or bad. Comparisons between BLEU scores and eye gaze data were also made and found to correlate well with gaze time and fixation count, and to a lesser extent with pupil dilation and fixation duration. We conclude that the eye tracking data, in particular gaze time and fixation count, correlate reasonably well with human evaluation of MT output but fixation duration and pupil dilation may be less reliable indicators of reading difficulty for MT output. We also conclude that eye tracking has promise as an automatic MT Evaluation technique. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8045

Abstract: One of the aims of the Eye-to-IT project is to investigate the possibility of using eye-tracking devices for detecting situations of targeted help for human translators. A prerequisite for automated assistance in human translation is the understanding and modelling of reading behaviour, the ability to follow human eye movements and to map gaze sample points — the output of eyetracking devices — onto words and symbols fixated. Within the Eye-to-IT project we currently use a so-called "Gaze-to- Word Mapping" (GWM) device (ˇSpakov 2008) that first computes possible fixations from sequences of gaze sample coordinates and then maps the fixations on the words which are likely to be fixated. This paper suggests an alternative framework of a probabilistic gaze mapping model for reading, in which fixations on textual objects are directly computed from the gaze sample points. The framework integrates various knowledge sources with the aim to compute the most likely fixations on words and symbols on the basis of the available data. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8043

Franske adjektivisk afledte adverbier, der tager præpositionssyntagmer indledt med præpositionen à som argumenterEn valensgrammatisk undersøgelseSkot-Hansen, Annemette (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The purpose of this dissertation is to map the valency structure of a subset of the French adverbs. More specifically, the dissertation seeks to answer the following questions: What valency structure follows from the lexical content of the adverbs investigated? What is the nature of the semantic relation established? What is the status of the valents relative to the adverb and relative to other valents? The empirical object of investigation is focused on adverbs derived from adjectives which take prepositional phrases headed by the preposition à as their complement. In addition, the delimitation chosen for this dissertation is a class of adverbs which share the feature that they carry the suffix -ment, which developed from the Latin noun mens, meaning "spirit/thought/mood/tenor". It is argued that the fusion of an adverb and mens establishes the general meaning [in an adjective spirit/thought/mood/tenor], i.e. the adverb retains the general quality denoted by the adjective, but the meaning targets the verb situation (at clause level) or the quality (at phrasal level) which saturates the argument of the adverb. Following tradition, the analysis adopted here, takes the verb situation to be realised by the predicate, and the quality to be realised by an adjective phrase, which may be realised by a past participle or, in rare cases, by another adverb. Since the valent is required by the lexical content of the adverb, it is assumed, following Herslund and Sørensen, that the valent is a fundamental valent. Another important feature of the adverbs which are analysed in this dissertation is that they establish a relation between two entities. This means that in addition to its fundamental valent, the adverb takes a further valent which it links with the fundamental valent. This second valent is referred to as the second valent of the adverb. The two valents are analysed as two relata in a relation. Unlike the fundamental valent, the second valent is always at phrasal level. When the adverb functions at clausal level, the second valent is realised as the prepositional object of the preposition phrase headed by à. This realisation is, however, not possible when the adverb functions at phrasal level. It is argued that this is a consequence of the fact that it is impossible to insert other constituents between the adverb and the adjective, adverb or participle which is modified by the adverb. The result is that where the second valent is realised, the adverb moves from preposition to postposition relative to its fundamental valent. In the data investigated the second valent denotes very different entities such as situations denoted by verbs and qualities, but also objects and abstract entities. The individual adverbs which are investigated here each determine their valency. In general there are different sources that allow us to uncover the core meaning of a word. The sources chosen in this dissertation are: the semantic roles assigned by the adverbs, their symmetry, elements of shared semantics or partial synonymy, their morphology and etymological roots. In order to bring together these different sources, the dissertation postulates a denotation design for each adverb. The etymology of the adverbs has been a particularly helpful in determining the relation and valency they establish. In addition to adverb and adjective suffixes, the majority of the adverbs investigated have a preposition in their synchronic morphological make-up which denotes a relation between two entities: some adverbs contain both a preposition and a morpheme from another word class, e.g. comparativement and subséquemment, while others contain only a preposition, e.g. antérieurement and postérieurement. A very small subset does not contain a preposition, but only a single adverb morpheme which denotes the relation in question, so, for instance, the adjectives par and similis, which have formed pareillement and semblablement, denote a relation between two relata. From an etymological perspective, a few adverbs, such as latéralement, do not denote a relation – so it is only through the formal realisation of the preposition phrase that the relation is established. The dissertation maps the etymological and morphological structure of the adverb and the range of functions that the adverb and its valents can have at clausal and phrasal level. The function of the adverb is relevant to the extent that the function affects its semantics and its valency structure. The effect of function is seen in some adverbs when they operate on clausal or on phrasal level and in other adverbs when they modify entire clauses or just the verb.

Abstract: In order to develop a harmonised and efficient IT system, such as a database, it is important to be familiar with the underlying concept model (concept systems) for the relevant domain which the IT system should be designed to accommodate, as this forms the necessary firm foundation for designing the conceptual data model. Although there is no one-to-one correlation between concept and characteristic features in the concept model and classes and attributes in the conceptual data model, there are many similarities between concept modelling and conceptual data modelling, and by closely examining the relationship between the two models, we have strived to construct an algorithm for creating conceptual data models in Unified Modelling Language (UML) on the basis of concept models that adhere to the traditional principles and methods of terminology work.

A Study of CWA Raters' Decision-Making BehavioursLindhardsen, Vivian (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The present maps study maps the decision-making behaviors of experienced raters in a well-established Communal Writing Assessment (CWA) context, tracing their behaviors all the way from the independent rating sessions, where the initial images and judgments are formed, to the communal rating sessions, where the final scores are assigned on the basis of collaboration between two rates. Results from think-aloud protocols, recorded discussions, retrespective reports and reported scores from 20 raters rating 15 ESL essays show that when moving from the independent ratings to the communal ratings, there is little, if any, increase in rater agreement levels and the raters' attention to the textual features corresponding to the official criteria become more evenly distributed. However, rather than consulting the scale descriptors directly in resolving insecurities about score assignment, the raters seemed to rely heavily on each others' expertise, thereby reducing the importance of the scale and emphasizing the value of the community of raters. In validating their scores in the communal rating discussions the raters appeared to be critically and equally engaged in the discussions, and through deliberating and refining their assessments the raters believed that CWA practices produce more accurate scores than in independent ratings and lead to professional development. These interpretations support a hermeneutic rather than a psychometric approach to establishing the validity of the present CWA practices. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7743

Abstract: We propose a novel machine learning technique that can be used to estimate probability distributions for categorical random variables that are equipped with a natural set of classification hierarchies, such as words equipped with word class hierarchies, wordnet hierarchies, and suffix and affix hierarchies. We evaluate the estimator on bigram language modelling with a hierarchy based on word suffixes, using English, Danish, and Finnish data from the Europarl corpus with training sets of up to 1–1.5 million words. The results show that the proposed estimator outperforms modified Kneser-Ney smoothing in terms of perplexity on unseen data. This suggests that important information is hidden in the classification hierarchies that we routinely use in computational linguistics, but that we are unable to utilize this information fully because our current statistical techniques are either based on simple counting models or designed for sample spaces with a distance metric, rather than sample spaces with a non-metric topology given by a classification hierarchy.

Abstract: A method is presented for incremental retraining of an SMT system, in which a local phrase table is created and incrementally updated as a file is translated and post-edited. It is shown that translation data from within the same file has higher value than other domain-specific data. In two technical domains, within-file data increases BLEU score by several full points. Furthermore, a strong recency effect is documented; nearby data within the file has greater value than more distant data. It is also shown that the value of translation data is strongly correlated with a metric defined over new occurrences of ngrams. Finally, it is argued that the incremental re-training prototype could serve as the basis for a practical system which could be interactively updated in real time in a post-editing setting. Based on the results here, such an interactive system has the potential to dramatically improve translation quality. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8272

Understanding Romance and Germanic Compounding in a Lexico-typological PerspectiveMüller, Henrik Høeg (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The title of my talk is "Informational balance. Understanding Romance and Germanic Compounding in a lexico-typological perspective". What I basically mean by informational balance is that semantic content is distributed systematically differently between nouns and verbs in the Romance and Germanic languages, and that this distribution is complementary. I shall explain that in detail in a minute, but first I shall introduce you to the problem, which I believe can be explained on the basis of this idea about "informational balance".

Abstract: Modern hearing aids use a variety of advanced digital signal processing methods in order to improve speech intelligibility. These methods are based on knowledge about the acoustics outside the ear as well as psychoacoustics. We present a novel observation based on the fact that acoustic prominence is not equal to information prominence for time intervals at the syllabic and sub-syllabic levels. The idea is that speech elements with a high degree of information can be robustly identified based on basic acoustic properties. We evaluated the correlation of (information rich) content words in the DanPASS corpus with fundamental frequency (F0) and spectral tilt across four frequency bands. Our results show a correlation of certain band-level differences and the presence of content words. Similarly, but to a lesser extent, a correlation between F0 and the presence of content words was found. The principle described here has the potential to improve the "information-to-noise" ratio in hearing aids. In addition, this concept may also be applicable in automatic speech recognition systems.

Abstract: This paper investigates properties of translation processes, as observed in the translation behaviour of student and professional translators. The translation process can be divided into a gisting, drafting and post-editing phase. We find that student translators have longer gisting phases whereas professional translators have longer post-editing phases. Long-distance revisions, which would typically be expected during post-editing, occur to the same extent during drafting as during post-editing. Further, both groups of translators seem to face the same translation problems. We suggest how those findings might be taken into account in the design of computer assisted translation tools.

Abstract: METIS-II was a EU-FET MT project running from October 2004 to September 2007, which aimed at translating free text input without resorting to parallel corpora. The idea was to use 'basic' linguistic tools and representations and to link them with patterns and statistics from the monolingual target-language corpus. The METIS-II project has four partners, translating from their 'home' languages Greek, Dutch, German, and Spanish into English. The paper outlines the basic ideas of the project, their implementation, the resources used, and the results obtained. It also gives examples of how METIS-II has continued beyond its lifetime and the original scope of the project. On the basis of the results and experiences obtained, we believe that the approach is promising and offers the potential for development in various directions. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8037

Abstract: Nonsense syllable speech materials are often used when investigating speech perception in quiet and under adverse conditions. The main advantage of using nonsense syllables over words and sentences is that the acoustic as well as the linguistic context is minimal. This paper presents three anechoic recordings of 13 male and 13 female native talkers of Danish each speaking 65 nonsense syllables repeated three times with the neutral intonation contour for Danish (in total 15210 syllables). The authors compared and ranked groups of three recordings. These three recording had the same talker and had identical phonetic content. The syllables were ranked according to the general "appropriateness" and consistency, i.e., prototypical production of the consonant-vowel (CV) with respect to applicability in speech perceptual studies. The results were compared to results of an automatic method based on acoustic measures. The two novel ideas are 1) to devise an automated method for evaluating "appropriateness" of CVs and 2) to develop a Danish CV-material annotated with an objective measure of "appropriateness" for each recorded CV. The latter would potentially render more CV's appropriate for perceptual studies. Moreover, objective evaluation would make it possible to examine any perceptual effects of variability in CV production (for example how susceptible different renderings by the same talker of CV's are to background noise). To the knowledge of the authors, no such material has yet been published for any language. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8412

Abstract: One of the aims of the Eye-to-IT project (FP6 IST 517590) is to integrate keyboard logging and eye-tracking data to study and anticipate the behaviour of human translators. This so-called User-Activity Data (UAD) would make it possible to empirically ground cognitive models and to validate hypotheses of human processing concepts in the data. In order to thoroughly ground a cognitive model of the user in empirical observation, two conditions must be met as a minimum. All UAD data must be fully synchronised so that data relate to a common construct. Secondly, data must be represented in a queryable form so that large volumes of data can be analysed electronically. Two programs have evolved in the Eye-to-IT project: TRANSLOG is designed to register and replay keyboard logging data, while GWM is a tool to record and replay eye-movement data. This paper reports on an attempt to synchronise and integrate the representations of both software components so that sequences of keyboard and eye-movement data can be retrieved and their interaction studied. The outcome of this effort would be the possibility to correlate eye- and keyboard activities of translators (the user model) with properties of the source and target texts and thus to uncover dependencies in the UAD.

What you need to know about your camera's exposure settings
Break out of the automatic mode to get better photos
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
One of the most important things you need to grasp in order to become a skillful photographer is the concept of exposure – the creative control of the light hitting your image sensor.
Three settings to coordinate
Aperture is the diameter of the opening that allows light to pass through your lens.You adjust the size of the opening by selecting an "f stop" value. One stop lower than your current setting lets in twice as much light, and one stop higher lets in half as much light. A large opening gives your pictures a shallow depth of field, meaning objects in the background appear out of focus.
At f 2.8, the background is out of focus. At f 22, everything is in focus.
Shutter speed controls the amount of time light is allowed to pass through your lens. If aperture is a water pipe, shutter speed is the amount of time you leave the valve open. To freeze fast-moving objects, use a fast shutter speed. If you want a moving object to blur, use a slower speed (or pan the camera to follow a moving object, and the background will blur).
Sensitivity – Once commonly known as "film speed," sensitivity is measured in ISO numbers. The higher ISO number, the higher sensitivity. In bright daylight, a camera adjusted to a low sensitivity, such as ISO 100, will make a cleaner image with less "noise" or "grain" than one set to a high sensitivity. Use higher numbers indoors or in low light.
Experiment with the mix
As you may have surmised, these three settings are interdependent. How you choose to mix them is part of the organic process of fine tuning a picture. Yes, your automatic settings will make a "best guess" about what will make an optimal picture, but you might have a different vision of the scene in front of you. That's why it pays to experiment.
CameraSim: A great practice tool
We'd like to introduce you to a simulation tool that will help you better understand the interrelationships of these settings. Jon Arnold's interactive CameraSim is a wonderful tool that enables you to try out changes in aperture, shutter speed, and sensitivity. You can also vary the light level, zoom (focal length of the lens), and distance from the subject. Snap simulated photos, and you quickly see the results you get from various combinations, with or without a tripod to steady the camera. Take a bad shot, and you get a tip on how to improve it. Take a good one, and you get a compliment.
We hope the CameraSim inspires you to put your camera in manual mode and apply what you've learned. With practice, you'll learn how to get the kind of shots you want in any setting. You'll become a more intuitive and fluid photographer who knows how to make art with a camera.

Before the conference even began there was a soft hum developing. The organizers stayed in touch with attendees, keeping us informed of late-breaking developments. Tuesday we heard there were 2,000 attendees. Compare that to the two major national conferences, sponsored by NGS and FGS, which usually attract about 1,500. The night before it began the number ballooned to 3,000!

Curt Witcher, Historical Genealogy Department Manager at the Allen County Public Library was instrumental in forcing me to undergo a fundamental shift in perspective. His keynote moved many of us to tears, over and over again. This is not normal for me, to gently weep during keynotes. Curt's message was "just get the story out there." Instead of harping on WDYTYA producers for not ensuring that white gloves be required, for instance, be delighted that our passion is being introduced to more and more people.

Why strawberries are really good for you
Strawberries, the traditional summer treat, could offer unexpected health benefits of preventing development of heart disease and diabetes, says a study.health-and-fitness Updated: Jul 08, 2012 15:29 IST
Strawberries, the traditional summer treat, could offer unexpected health benefits of preventing development of heart disease and diabetes, says a study.
University of Warwick scientists have been studying the beneficial effects of strawberries on cardiovascular health, particularly around how they prevent the development of heart disease and diabetes.
Paul Thornalley, professor at the Warwick Medical School, heads the team that discovered extracts from strawberries positively activate a protein in our bodies called 'Nrf2', which is shown to increase antioxidant and other protective activities.
This protein works to decrease blood lipids and cholesterol, the very things which can lead to cardiovascular problems, said a university statement.
Eating strawberries has previously been found to counter post-meal blood glucose and low density lipoprotein, or 'bad' cholesterol and therefore decrease risk of diabetes and heart disease, but this is the first time that strawberry extracts have been proved to actively stimulate proteins that offer us protection against disease.
Thornalley explained: " We've discovered the science behind how strawberries work to increase our in-built defences to keep cells, organs and blood vessels healthy and which can reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular problems such as heart disease and diabetes."
Screening and math modelling techniques developed at Warwick can now take this research further to help identify the best varieties of strawberries, how they are served or processed and how many strawberries should be eaten for optimum health benefit.
Thornalley will be presenting these findings at the 16th biennial meeting for the Society for Free Radical Research International (SFRRI), Imperial College London.

Global Legal Skills Conference Proposals Due January 31
The sixth Global Legal Skills Conference will take place on May 5-7, 2011 at The John Marshall Law School in Chicago. Persons interested in making a presentation or organizing a panel for the conference should submit proposals to the Planning Committee by January 31, 2011, by sending it to 7wojcik[at]jmls.edu.
You will be notified as to whether your proposal has been accepted by the middle of February. There is no particular format for proposals. Some proposals may be quite detailed, while others might have just the title of the proposal, a brief description (unless it is clear from the title), and contact information for presenters. You might propose an entire panel, or just an individual presentation that we might combine with others. Submissions are welcome on all aspects of international legal skills education, with a special (but not exclusive) focus on teaching students who speak English as a second language. Previous conferences also included presentations on Legal Spanish, on teaching Trial Advocacy in Ireland, on legal translations, and on other aspects of international legal education. However, most
presentations will focus on the special educational aspects of teaching students trained in other languages and other, frequently non-common law, legal traditions.
In your proposal, please let us know how much time you will need. Please choose 20 or 50 minutes. Please also let us know where your proposal fits within the following categories:
1. How to teach: Tips for those who teach international students either here or abroad.
2. How to do: Tips by and for U.S. and foreign practitioners who have global practices.
3. Curricular development: Presentations on what schools offer, or should be offering, their foreign students.
4. What it's all about: Lessons on law/culture/practice in other countries.
5. Developing Materials: Ideas on developing materials for class.
6. Other: Anything that does not fit within the other categories.
Please send any questions to Mark Wojcik by email at mwojcik[at]jmls.edu or intlawprof[at]gmail.com.

Yarmouth police say the four men arrested early Tuesday and charged with a string of thefts from cars all have a history of run-ins with the law.
Yarmouth police say the four men arrested early Tuesday and charged with a string of thefts from cars all have a history of run-ins with the law.
The four were arrested after they were spotted driving in a car in the Captains Village neighborhood of South Yarmouth just after midnight. Officer Scott Lundgren recognized one of the men as having a history of break-ins. Before he could stop the car, it sped off and was later seen speeding along Forest Road. Police stopped the car on Winslow gray Road, and while talking to the occupants, an officer spotted a folding knife, like one that had been reported stolen, on one of the men's belts.
A search of the car turned up many items believed stolen in more than 40 breaks into cars and trucks mainly in West Yarmouth over the Memorial Day weekend and earlier.
The four men arrested are Nicholas D. Furtado, 17; Ryan P. Fyrtado, 19; Richard M. Hagerty, 25; and Arpad Voros, Jr., 18.
At an afternoon news conference, Yarmouth Police Chief Michael Almonte said the arrests were the result of "good old-fashioned police work."
Lundgren said his first clue that something was amiss was when he spotted a car with four young occupants that "didn't fit" in captains Village early in the morning.
Detective Stephen Renzi said all four suspects were" very well known to us. We've dealt with all of them for years."
Among the items recovered were many cell phones, Ipods, cameras, a laptop computer and other electronic devices. A badge belonging to a retired police officer, a folding police baton and a pellet rifle were also confiscated.Police also recovered drug paraphernalia.
Renzi said the suspects were probably selling the stolen goods for a fraction of their retail value.
Standing behind a table on which recovered property was laid out, Renzi said the impact of thefts from vehicles, which could be as many as 80 dating to March, has been significant.
"This is not all the property taken. This is one weekend," Renzi said of the array of merchandise.
The four suspects were to be arraigned in Barnstable District Court late Tuesday afternoon. Police expect to make additional arrests.
Yarmouth police said every one of the vehicles from which items were stolen was unlocked. Police stressed the importance of keeping cars locked with windows rolled up and valuables out of sight.
The string of thefts in Yarmouth on a hectic Memorial Day weekend was a potential embarrassment in Yarmouth, which attracts many visitors, both second home-owners and tourists.
"We want people to feel they can enjoy themselves in Yarmouth and feel safe," Lt. Stephen Xiarhos said. "You can help us by calling when something happens, not a day later," he said.

FARMINGTON, Mich. – Farmington Public Safety officers were called to the 23000 block of Frederick St (Warner Farms Subdivision-Farmington Rd south of Grand River) to investigate a report of a large reptile roaming the area.

If the over/under is for Saturday's Cardinals-Saints game is under 90 points, take it. When Arizona and Green Bay can combine for 96 points, think how many Arizona and New Orleans can put up.
Having said that, I'm painfully aware that the likelihood is now great that Kurt Warner and Drew Brees will conspire for a 9-7 final in the divisional playoff game. Isn't that the way it goes? When we expect offensive explosions, we get mistakes and defense and low scores. When we expect defensive struggles, we get hit by blowouts.
And when we expect Green Bay to blow Arizona out of the water, we get one of the greatest displays of passing we've seen since, well, since the last time Kurt Warner got hot in the playoffs.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
This wasn't supposed to happen, experts said. The Cardinals weren't that good, being in the playoffs only by virtue of winning the NFC West, which would be like a real football division if it had any real football teams in it.
You'd think realize that if you give Warner time to throw and let his receivers run their routes, there is no stopping Arizona. The man got the Cardinals, the NFL's answer to the Los Angeles Clippers, to the Super Bowl. He's won a Vince Lombardi Trophy. He's a former MVP. He is simply superb.
The Packers certainly know now. They're going to have to live all winter and next summer with the knowledge that they simply weren't ready, which is a little amazing given the team just played each other in Week 17.
Now it's on to New Orleans, and you can bet that the Saints were sitting at attention and taking notes as they watched Warner complete 88 percent of his passes (29 of 33) for five touchdowns and no interceptions.
You also know the Saints won't dismiss the Cardinals are pretenders. New Orleans, after all, is even more bereft of historic success than Arizona. The Saints should know better than to take any team lightly.
That is especially true of the Cardinals. When they are right, there is only one team that can even be compared to them. By happy coincidence, that team is the Saints. Unless one or both of these teams plays defense, there's no telling how many points they'll put up.
Brees and Warner are rhythm quarterbacks who like to release the ball as their receivers are making their breaks. When they're in synch, you can't stop them. The receiver turns around, the ball hits him in the hands, and all a defender can do is make the tackle.
Warner was like that against Green Bay. The Cards punted just once. The rest of the time, they rode Warner's arm up and down the field, laughing at the Packers' feeble attempts at defense. Games like that give the impression that Arizona's unstoppable.
That's the feeling that surrounded Brees and the Saints most of the season. I remember thinking during their Nov. 30 whipping of the Patriots that I might be watching the best football team I'd ever seen. The Patriots didn't even belong on the same field. What's more, they knew it.
And then New Orleans finished the season with three losses, including one to the Cowboys, and we changed our minds. New Orleans could not only be beaten, it could be badly beaten. Brees could be made to look like Brady Quinn. The mighty offense could sputter and choke and die.
Again, that all applies to Warner and the Cardinals. When you disrupt a rhythm quarterback's timing, bad things happen. It was true when the Patriots stunned the Rams a decade ago, and it remains true.
A week ago, nobody thought the Cardinals would beat the Packers. Now, a few probably think they can beat the Saints, but not many. And if they win again, no one will think they can beat either the Vikings or Cowboys.
They might want to think again. The Cardinals may not be the NFC favorites, but right now they are the most intriguing team remaining. After Sunday, you may not think much of their defense, but you also know there's no way you can afford to ever sell them short again, not as long as Kurt Warner is running the show.

Clash of Clans best plans (layouts) for farming (resource gathering) - ТH 5 (Town Hall level 5)
Main / Plans TH 5 / Farming
Town Hall upgrade till the 5th level will take two days and will cost 150,000 gold coins. There won't be any considerable visual changes, except of the stone arch near the entrance.
On the 5th level you'll have a significant upgrade, 7 new constructions and 3 traps become available: Gold Mine, Elixir Collector, Spell Factory, Cannon, Archer Tower, 2 Bombs, Wizard Tower, Giant Bomb and 25 Wall units!
On this level you'll get a chance to use for the first time the Blazing Spell, to upgrade your Walls till the gold ones and to fight with the Wizards!
Choose the order for the plan sorting according to the Date, Views or Rating, don't forget to evaluate the bases. That will help the other users to make a choice.
After update of the game on December 10, 2015, a large number of 3 main resources (Gold, Elixir and Dark Elixir) are kept in the Town Hall.

Fanboys may know Jeffrey Dean Morgan from his comic book film roles in "Watchmen" and his latest, "The Losers," but primetime TV watchers know him from his turn on "Grey's Anatomy" as Denny Duquette, the doomed love of Katherine Heigl's Izzie.
With the recent news that the actress was leaving the show after six seasons, Jeffrey offered his support at the junket for "The Losers" on Saturday.
"Good for her," he told Access Hollywood. "I think the show will be fine without her and she obviously was ready to move on and do films."
Though Katherine had a publicly volatile relationship with the show at times, Jeffrey told Access he thought it would be an amicable split.
"I think, great for everybody," he said. "I think it was a happy parting."
In "The Losers," an action film focused on a ragtag band of Special Forces soldiers fighting against a maniacal villain to clear their name, Jeffrey has a new love interest in Zoe Saldana — but as with Izzie, it's hardly smooth sailing.
While Izzie wanted to save the sick Denny's life, however, Zoe's Aisha is a mysterious, independent agent who'd just as soon shoot Jeffrey's Lt. Col. Clay as kiss him.
The film is due in theaters on April 23.

Inside the Elton John Oscar Party
At 4 p.m. last night, it was a balmy 70 degrees in Hollywood, and Elton John could not have asked for better weather for his Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party held on the cusp of the Pacific Design Center. And the evening had only just begun.
The fab affair, sponsored by Audi, Wells Fargo, Chopard and Grey Goose, brought out a record number of people and raised a record $6 million for Sir Elton's AIDS Foundation.
Gordon Ramsey donned his chef's garb (at least momentarily) to whip up the night's edibles, while guests like Steven Tyler, Jared Harris, Molly Sims, Zac Efron (who seemed to want to maintain a very low profile this eve) and Nicki Minaj made the rounds. Trying to keep a low profile was Bono with beautiful daughter Eve Hewson – both of whom jetted off as soon as the awards were over to cross-town (well, really a mere 1.5 miles) over to the Vanity Fair soiree. (Truth be told, on this evening, that could take up to an hour and half with traffic).

This is for a new service that places networked tv displays in various restaurants and allows other businesses to advertise for customers to see while they are waiting / eating. There is a little more information on the website, which is still under construction, at http://www.digitaladvertise.me.
Target audience is primarily a business to business service.
This project is completely open to whatever you feel looks good. Its the first marketing piece for this new startup.
I have attached the following files for use in the project:
1) 8.5x11 Brochure.ai & .pdf - this is the content for the brochure.
I have attached the following files for reference only:
1) DigiAdMediaKit.pdf - this is just a sample booklet brochure from another company that does the same thing.
2) MediaKit6.pdf - another sample brochure from another company that does the same thing (except in gyms only)
3) BS_card_background.psd is just part of the pattern on the website at the top that was used for a few things. You do not have to use it. It was just for eference "in case" you could make it work with the design. (i think this one has black instead of white dot pattern however)
PLEASE send me a message if you have ANY questions at all concerning anything. I will also have a postcard and a few other items for this project for the winner.
UPDATE: on the front page of the brochure, along with the logo, it needs to read:
Discover the revolutionary way to reach new customers, advertise promotions and announce special events.
This was not on an earlier 8.5x11 Brochure.ai file. I just added it to the one attached. Thanks!

Flâneur victorien à boucle
L'expert en Ajustement
Shawn and Jasmine de notre Washington DC Selon la boutique :
The Pilgrim has great length but can be a little narrow for those with wider feet.
Avec son bout très pointu, Pilgrim est mocassin salomé avec boucle et cuir cousu plissé sur l'empeigne. Cette chaussure fut l'un des premiers modèles féminins dessinés par John à s'inspirer de l'époque victorienne. Cette version mise à jour comprend une semelle en caoutchouc, un talon de 3 cm (1,25") enrobé de cuir ainsi que des cuirs spécialisés qui vieilliront avec grâce. Cette chaussure Pilgrim est un hommage aux débuts modestes de John, aux valeurs vers lesquelles il aspire toujours, et un beau testament au génie que nous célébrons. Truth and integrity since 1970. (Vérité et intégrité depuis 1970.)
Shawn and Jasmine de notre Washington DC Selon la boutique :
The Pilgrim has great length but can be a little narrow for those with wider feet.
Nice Shoes indeed
My first pair of Truths
Rivet fell off
I have one issue, though. The shoes come with the buckle done up at the middlemost point. As a result, if you change the strap setting, you are left with a permanent crease embossed in the leather from the buckle.
For almost $400, I would have expected Fouevog to consider this and to store unbought shoes with the buckles undone so as to prevent this.
It's a bummer, because the shoes are perfect, and I feel like I paid top dollar only to be punished with a defect due to needing a wider buckle setting.
My First Pair of Fluevogs
I'm a 6.5 in most Vogs, but I size up to a 7 in Truths.
Shoutout to Evangeline at the Granville store, who's helped me twice this month and enabled the purchase of four new pairs. She was awesome!
My First Pilgrim
I will be ordering more of this style for sure.
Finally got my Pilgrims!!!!
Move over Pilgrim! This one's the real deal!
Love these .... but
Green is gorgeous!
The Perfect Shoe
Just plain HOT!!
Essential in any Wardrobe!
Love my pilgrims!
My First Fluevogs!
Ask and receive...
Gotta get them.
Most comfortable cogs ever!!!
Love these!
first pair
Love these shoes
lilac pilgrims
Lucky number...15?
Luv them but have quality issues
New favorite shoes!
I'm soooo in love!!!
Just Plain Fabulous!!!
seriously funky
so comfortable
Lovely but Will Never Fit Me
#3 and counting
I was concerned about the comments I'd read about the wrapped heel chipping, so I just won't drive in them (thanks to some great advice from Idaho!).
I would love these in a brown as well . . . on my wish list for sure!
My First Pair......
I love them
thank you sample sale!
My only complaint is that the "wooden" heels chip very easily (as in after less than a handful of wears), revealing white plastic underneath. Thankfully Preet from the Granville store was able to mail over some replacement heels to NB. Now that's customer service!
#55 and Counting
The beginning of my Fluevog Addiction
I get so many compliments and the colour RED is just camp as a Christmas Tree ,->
They are comfortable but I can only wear them for a few hours because having small super wide feet means I had to go 1 1/2 sizes larger than usual and the cut outs start digging into my feet after a while |-)
Lilac loveliness...
All this and they're comfy too. :-B
Lost my fluginity twice today
Tanya was super patient finally finding the best,most comfortable shoes for my feet. Was worth the time she took as I regret it not a bit, despite the hefty price. My feet will thank me every day I wear them :-D :-D
Thanks Tanya!!
Love the shoes but not the quaity...
Unfortunately, I've had them a little over a year and they have had a lot of problems - the heel quickly scraped up, and then the sole peeled off. I took them into the store on Haight and they had the heel fixed, and the sole re-glued. The sole peeled off again almost immediately, so I took it to a different, well-reviewed local shoe repair place. The sole came off again within weeks, and I noticed the bottom of the sole has a huge crack under the sole. Not quite the quality I expect from Fluevog. All of my other pairs have lasted extremely well.
You may want to sleep in them
Love the shoes... heels not so much
Burgundy not Red
I have wide feet and was skeptical that these would fit width ways even after ordering a half size up. I was surprised when I put them on that they had alot of give. They are a bit snug on my right foot, but that will go away once they break in. Beautiful shoes <3
Love these!
Hot AND Sweet
LOVE these shoes
Now that a red pair has been issued I think I'm going to have to acquire them as well, can't get enough of the Truth: Pilgrims. :-B
Love 'em
Fit well - I normally wear a 6 or 6.5 and got these in a 6.5. I did blister a bit on the sides the first couple of wears but then they stretched out a bit and haven't had any more issues.
Buying Online..
As for these shoes specifically? To get your hands on them you will have to tear them off my cold dead feet. They are shockingly comfortable.. full support if you're on your feet all day. And as Pete said "just a bit Witchy." He described the sole as non-skid, and he was right. I feel solid and stable in these shoes, look like a million bucks, and can say with authority to Mr. Gunn.. fashion does not have to be uncomfortable. Mr. Gunn is obviously walking around in the wrong shoes.
Love These!
I should have paid more attention but I won't make the mistake twice (with your company). There it is, plain as day, leather wrapped (plastic) heel. Thankfully, Victorians didn't use plastic for their shoes.
wicked shoes
I call these my Wicked shoes because I bought them in San Francisco on a trip to see Wicked. In fact, I walked about a mile in them on my way to the show, and another mile on the way back.
They are comfortable and beautiful. I like the way the heels sound on the floor. And I have noticed that the more I wear them, the more I love these shoes. They get softer and the creases become more purple.
If you are thinking about buying these shoes, you should. I saved up for these for my birthday, and they are worth every penny.
Buying pair two!
love Fluevogs
Beautiful Shoe
The shoes did require some breaking in. I wore them with moleskin to protect myself from blisters a few times and now they're totally comfortable and perfect. It's just getting chilly now and I'm looking forward to wearing these with tights.
My third pair of 'Vogs. I love his work so much.
Funky & fun, but...
fabulous shoes
Fabulous shoes with one small warning
Thank John for the reissue of these
And now it's a couple of decades later and I don't have to shop at discount shoe stores anymore. So when these appeared, there was no question that I would have to have them, to reflect the style I found all those years ago in a pair of, shall we say, tribute shoes. And I love them even more than I loved that discount pair. They're almost ridiculously comfortable, and I wear them with everything from jeans to pirate outfits to Victorian skirts--they match it all. And I'm really glad I found my way to them.
The shoe with everything!
pelgrim problem
Amazing is too small a word.
Total room-looker
They have a soft, super-flexible sole that makes them feel like slippers. So they're comfortable as well as beautiful.
I did find that I was a little more comfortable going a half size up from my normal size 6, although I wouldn't say that it was strictly necessary.
Hot Damn
Slender ankles deserve these shoes
I put 'em on and POOF! Ordinary Citizen became Amazing Pirate.
I was concerned that the shoes might not be friends with my favorite peddle pushers and short pants, but I was wrong; they look great. NOTES of interest: ~~~If you have slender ankles, these shoes are truly smokin' ~~~ Got a wee tiny blister on my, er, pointer toe (the one beside the big one), but am assuming this is just a wearing in issue ~~~ The white wax that FV applies to these create a fabulous "I've had these since I was pirate" kind of finish, wearing through gradually to show darker areas. ~~~ The wood heels ensure that you knock like you're walkin' the plank when you walk, so don't get 'em if you like to sneak up on folk.
