an insight that simply helps make sense of it all :)
In an increasing competitive world, it is quality of thinking that gives an edge, an idea that opens new doors, a technique that solves a problem, or an insight that simply helps make sense of it all.
bus trip from Raleigh, NC to Dayton, OH
［人人网日志导入］
最终行程:Raleigh, NC->Winston Salem, NC->Charleston, WV-> Columbus, OH->Dayton, OH
乘坐: Grey Hound Bus
下 午一点, 实验室自称是我师弟其实和我一起来的同学送我到了Raleigh Downtown的车站, 换车票, 等车, 一切顺利. 经过四个小时, 到了一个叫 Winston Salem 的城市, 我要在这里换乘去Columbus, OH的车. 在这四个小时里, 先是沉沉睡了两个小时, 然后就和坐旁边的美国mm聊了两个小时.
mm才18岁, 可是竟然已经结婚了, 目前在Tennessee上学, 丈夫在Raleigh 工作, 此行是回Virginia看望父亲, 学过Spanish, 有过Military的经历. 在我看来蛮神奇的. 重要的是她有着甜美的性格, 说起话来轻声轻语, 还算健谈. 和我一样也害怕坐错车, 怕被人抢劫, 把所有首饰都摘了才来坐车. 时间在聊天中很快过去.
到了Winston车站, 一个人在车站吃了点东西, 然后背上包出去走了走. Downtown还有几个高楼, 还不错. 天气格外清爽, 从早上下雨到现在, 淅淅沥沥的小雨, 清爽而舒适! 转了一圈回去等着转车.
实际上这才是我这趟bus trip的真正开始.
大 概到换乘车来的时候, 奇怪的事情发生了. 原定带我们去Columbus, OH的那趟车因为人太多, 司机给我们了每人一张小条, 让我们乘下一趟去Charleston, WV的车, 在那里换乘去Columbus的车. 于是我就非常confused 跟着坐了另一班车. 奇妙的旅途就此拉开序幕.
车开出Winston Salem已是快8点, 开了没过久天就黑了. 然而在晚上十点多的时候, 车停在了一个叫Fayetteville, WV的小镇上. 车就停在一个McDonald's旁边. 司机停下车, 赶着大家都下车休息一下, 说是过了这站一直到Charleston都不会休息了. 可是天已经黑了啊大姐, 外面黑乎乎的, 还是在West Virginia这个不毛之地.
我再次万分疑惑又有些不情愿的拿了包下车, 随着人群去了那家McDonald's. 去了洗手间, 出来看到大家都站在外面, 车没有一点要走的意思, 司机坐在McDonald's里面不知道在看什么. 看看黑乎乎的外面二十几个人站在路边, 真像是拍恐怖片呐!
得, 又进了McDonald's, 闻到香味, 那个饿啊! 索性排队去买吃的, 排队的人还很多. 点完餐拿到号: 481. 好, 等吧! 这时那边叫号了, 才二百多号! 我一听, 这不扯吗, 我还要赶车呢! 奇怪的叫了几个二百多号居然就到了我.
拿 到吃的又出了McDonald's, 打算坐车里吃去. 这时我忽然发现有两辆GreyHound的车并排停在那里. 晕! 我该上哪辆? 看到人多的一辆就上去, 司机一看我就说: 你是那边那车的. 我就又稀里糊涂的下来, 看到另一个车还关着门没有要走的意思, 只好继续站在外面拿了汉堡出来吃. 这大晚上的在不知道啥地的McDonald's外面吃汉堡, 怕这样的事也不会多吧...
一路上坐我旁 边的白人mm Samantha正在给家打电话. 一个人无聊的吃着汉堡, 看她挂了电话就上去和她说话, 正好一个套餐我吃不了, 就问她要不要吃薯条. Samantha倒是爽快, 接过去就开始吃了. 边吃边聊, 她告诉我她打电话回家, 她妈妈问她: Where are you? 她说: I don't know...看看多可怕, 我们当时根本不清楚车停在了哪儿, 直到上车后前排的一个黑人大妈告诉我们才知道. 十几分钟后终于可以回到车上, 夜深了, 大家都开始睡觉.
凌晨一点到达Charleston, WV, 大家都下了车, 也不知道接下来该坐哪趟车. 去了个洗手间, 回来看到原来在那个车站的人都在排队, 我睡眼惺忪, 非常迷惑的看着排队的人, 不知是否该排队上这个车, 就去问了一个排队的女孩, 她告诉这辆车会经过Columbus, OH. "大概就是这趟车吧!", 迷惑着去排队, 一个老太太还安慰我: 这样能看到更多的地方. 好吧! 人家老太太都这么安定, 我怕啥呢!
上了车, 一路狂清醒. 周围的人都在睡觉, 我却睡不着了. 听着音乐, 看着窗外黑黑的夜, 胡思乱想着, 半天发现其实什么也没想, 迷迷糊糊熬到天亮. 隐约记得中间在几个小镇停了下车, 朦胧记得有河穿过那几个小镇, 车从桥上开过, 我猜想那小镇的风景一定很美.
到达Columbus, OH时才早上五点多, 天刚刚亮, 去Dayton的车还要两个小时才能出发. 天太早又不敢出去瞎逛, 只好在候车厅无聊. 中间给家打个电话, 还有个中国学生过来搭讪, 聊了几句他的车来了, 也就走了. 我继续无聊. 结果车还晚了半个小时. 要走得时候和Samantha说再见, 我无聊的时候她已经在Columbus Downtown溜达了一圈, 抱怨着所有的咖啡店都还没开门, 想喝杯咖啡都没有地方可以去. 说了Bye-Bye, 我就踏上了去Dayton的车.
从Columbus到Dayton的车上, 坐在一个大叔边上, 困的厉害, 睡了一觉先. 醒了看见外面大片的玉米地, 果然是北方, 真是平啊! 忽然边上大叔拍了拍我的肩, 跟我说: See that balloon! You see that? 我迷糊中没听清大叔说啥, 心里嘀咕让我看啥? 看看窗外就是普通的房子, 我不知所然的答应着. 大叔接着说: I also live in a balloon. 我真是恨不得跳窗户啊, 愣是没听出balloon这词. 只好胡乱附和. 估计大叔看我对热气球没兴趣也就没再说什么. 过了几秒, 我忽然看见窗外天上有个热气球在飞, 顿时明白了大叔说啥, 恨不得钻地下去.
过 了会, 大叔又问我去哪儿. 我告诉他后, 他感慨着自己的long trip, 说要到Mississippi, 第二天才能到. 对我这个毫无地理概念的人来说, 这简直是对牛弹琴. 我心里想Mississippi在Ohio的北边吧, 那应该没多远啊! 咋第二天才能到呢? 疑惑却也没有问. 后来才知道, Mississippi在那么南边, 离Ohio远着呢. 行吧, 我的无知有一次扼杀了聊天的机会.
大叔不断创造聊天素材, 还问我Dayton是个大城市吗? 我说: I don't know. I've never been there before. 谈话结束. 看看吧, 大叔多努力和我说话了, 我就是这么不给面子.
一个半小时后, 顺利到达Dayton, 至少我到的时候是这么以为的. 虽然后来发现到的并不是Dayton, 只是Dayton边上一个小镇, 那都是后话了. 这次Bus trip也算是话上句号. :)
流 水账后发表个感言. 其实这趟Bus trip没有想象中那么可怕, 倒是多了几分乐趣. 之前在网上看说在美国不要吃别人给的吃的, 所以在Samantha 问我要不要糖的时候, 我犹豫了, 但还是贪吃要了, 犹豫中吃了那根香烟糖. 实在是没啥, 完全没有下毒之类的恐怖事件. 虽然坐车的人黑人居多, 但黑人也没什么不得体的行为. 大家相互尊重, 都挺好的. 所以在美国坐汽车没那么可怕. :) 当然也不能大意啦, 警惕是必要的, 但也要相信世上好人多. 抒情完毕!

学校football中心游览
［人人网日志导入］
尽管马上要期中考试了, 还是报名参加了OIS组织的学校football center tour. 过程蛮简单的, 从学校出发, OIS的van带我们去了football center, 然后学校football主教练和大家说了几句话合影, 然后有人带我们看了学校的football的一个小影片, 带我们参观球员训练的一些地方.
一些有趣的事:
NCAA规定学生球员每天只能在训练中心吃一顿饭, 其他两顿必须和其他非运动员学生一起吃. (果然不是职业运动员, 不能一日三餐接收补贴.)
NCAA规定学生球员周一放假, 没有训练.
NCAA规定学生球员住宿舍友必须50%以上为非运动员学生. (NCAA是boss!)
学校橄榄球队有113人, 其中85人有奖学金, 其他人没的钱拿. (有点惊讶!)
一 个橄榄球队一百多人可能只有一个人会进入职业橄榄球队继续玩橄榄球, 其他人毕业后都要转投他们的plan B. (感觉前景好不乐观...介绍的Madam说: It's good to have dreams and work hard for them, but you have to have Plan B. In football, you usually end up with plan B.)
NC State到目前为止在职业football球队里面的不过二十个人...
遗憾的没带相机, 等收到OIS照的照片再传上来给大家看吧.
上周末很郁闷的输给了VA tech :( 这周末和Boston College比赛, 拿到了学生的免费票, 周末去看football 喽! 这次将是红色的海洋!

推荐： 小笨霖英语学习笔记
记得确定要出国之后 就在网上找学习口语的资料，练习口语， 为来美做准备，那时候看到网上小笨霖英语学习笔记，下载过来看过一些，觉得挺有意思的。 出国前在他的英语学习笔记里面就知道一些在美国生活会遇到的事情，比如超市的cash back 也就省去了像某些人刚开始以为是人家白给钱的尴尬。总体来说比较有意思。以前在国内的时候看过不少，有的后来都忘了，最近又捡起来重新读，还是很有收获。 有兴趣的可以去看看。
http://som.twbbs.org/klee/notebook/
网上貌似有word版的可以下载 在国内的时候下过，现在懒得找了，就在网上看。
俗话说好记性不如烂鼻头，所以最近也在学习他记一些英语学习笔记，自己记的比较乱，学到的生词啦，一些以前自己发音不对的词啦，听广播看电影学到的英语用法啦 给自己备用。

From [Kim & Jason]: Virtual Halloween Parade Awards
In an attempt to combine the awesomeness of the Halloween parade with the amazing connecting power of the Internet, we recently hosted first ever Kim & Jason Virtual Halloween Parade on our Facebook page. We received many great entries, but after much deliberation, here are our award winners:
Who Needs a Store-Bought Costume When I Can Make My Own? Award
Yoda; a popular costume choice this year was he. Stores are stocked with standard Yoda costumes, but Elyse Chapman decided to make her own. She drew the ears on green craft foam, rigged them up with long green pipe cleaners under a skull cap made from a green bandana. Then she sewed the tunic with assorted remnants from the fabric store bargain bin. It all came together with the face paint and lightsaber! Not the easiest route to take, but the results were worth it!
Submitted by Elyse Chapman
Best Makeup
Matt and Gina Goodbred used a LOT of green paint and makeup to become toy soldiers. For their originality and awesome retro flavor, we salute them!
Submitted by Gina Goodbred
Best Group Theme (Tie)
We got so many great themed photos it was hard to narrow it down to just one. So we didn’t. Christine Hood’s family went all medieval on Halloween, complete with damsel, dragon and a knight in shining fabric. Notice how even the stroller is painted to look like a castle!
Submitted by Christine Hood
Meanwhile, Sonia Cuvelier Walsh suited up her Fab Four in authentic Sgt. Pepper regalia. These sweet threads are as colorful as they are cool!
Submitted by Sonia Cuvelier Walsh
Honorary Alfred Hitchcock Tribute Award
Alfred Hitchcock is the quintessential master of suspense. Laura Lawrence dressed up as Tippi Hedren’s character Melanie Daniells from Hitchcock’s famous movie “The Birds.” We love the image of her waving her arms around in horror. Well done, Laura.
Submitted by Laura Lawrence
You Wouldn’t Like Me When I’m Angry Award
This has got to be the hands down cutest little Incredible Hulk ever! (Not that Tinkerbell is a slouch by any means.) We’re not sure what’s more adorable, the bulging muscles, the tiny ripped jeans, or the angry face. One thing is certain: if we see him on the street, we’re steering clear!
Submitted by Ellen Yedinak
Most Likely to Cause Nightmares
This award goes to John Gundich in a slam dunk. Not only did he pose with his infant daughter as Michael Myers, but his depiction of “Johanna” Dugger is downright creepy and has been responsible for many restless nights around here.
Submitted by Patrizzia Gundich
All of our award winners will all be receiving a special “Trick or Treat” goodie box with items from the Kim & Jason Lemonade Stand. A special thanks to everyone who submitted photos — it was so fun to see everyone’s creativity on display!

[FW] Bibliography of Academic Writing Guides by Wendy Belcher
Bibliography of Academic Writing Guides
Boice, Robert. 2000. Advice for New Faculty Members: Nihil Nimus. Allyn & Bacon.
The best work by the best writer on academic writing. "Nihil Nimus" means "nothing in excess." This advice is based on Boice's finding that moderation is the single-most reliable predictor of success in academic life. The book is full of practical rules for combining teaching, socializing, and brief, daily sessions of writing. "It is the first guidebook to move beyond anecdotes and surmises for its directives, based on the author's extensive experience and solid research in the areas of staff and faculty development," says an Amazon.com review.
Robert Boice. 1992. The New Faculty Member: Supporting and Fostering Professional Development. Jossey-Bass Publishers.
An earlier excellent text by the leading authority on academic writing.
Boice, Robert. 1990. Professors as Writers: A Self-Help Guide to Productive Writing. Stillwater, Oklahoma: New Forums Press.
An extremely helpful practical guide by the leading authority on academic writing. Includes an extensive diagnostic questionnaire.
Writing for Publication
Cantor, Jeffrey A. 1994. A Guide to Academic Writing. Westport, Conn.: Greenwood Publishing Group.
Useful focus on publishing strategies rather than writing. Includes chapter on writing for professional journals. Advises on writing conference papers and grants. Deals at length with book publication, including contracts, prospectuses, and textbooks.
Luey, Beth. 1995. Handbook for Academic Authors. 3rd ed. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.
A comprehensive book on academic publishing. Includes only twenty pages on writing for journals. Includes a useful chapter on revising a dissertation into a book. Discusses at length how to work with publishers. Addresses submission mechanics.
Matkin, Ralph E. and T. F. Riggar. 1991. Persist and Publish: Helpful Hints for Academic Writing and Publishing. Boulder: University Press of Colorado.
General methods for increasing "productivity and achievement in the publish-or-perish academic world." Many useful figures and tables. Includes twenty pages on writing for journals.
Day, Robert A. 1998. How to Write and Publish a Scientific Paper. 5th ed. New York: Oryx Press.
Specifically for those in the sciences. Amazon.com says "each edition of this witty and practical guide to writing, organizing, illustrating, and submitting scientific research for publication in a scholarly scientific journal has become an instant bestseller."
Parker, Frank, and Kathryn Riley. 1996. Writing for Academic Publication: A Guide to Getting Started. Superior: Parlay Enterprises.
Broad advice on writing academic reviews, book reviews, abstracts, conference papers, and articles rather than concentrating on journal articles.
Silverman, Franklin H. 1999. Publishing for Tenure and Beyond. New York: Praeger.
"Provides graduate students who intend to pursue a career in academia and tenure-track junior faculty with candid information about developing an adequate publication record … [and how to] maximize the likelihood of having their articles accepted for publication by peer-reviewed professional, scientific, and scholarly journals." For graduate students and junior faculty, it focuses on journal article publication and the large picture-what content is selling today
Moxley, Joseph M., and Todd Taylor. 1997. Writing and Publishing for Academic Authors. 2nd ed. Lanham, Maryland: Rowman and Littlefield.
Collected volume of essays by various authors. Broad book on academic publishing. Little on journal article publishing.
Huff, Anne Sigismund. 1998. Writing for Scholarly Publication. Sage Publications.
Not focused on journal articles and devoted largely to prewriting rather than revising.
Germano, William. 2001. Getting It Published: A Guide for Scholars and Anyone Else Serious about Serious Books. Chicago: University of Chicago Press.
Written by the publishing director of Routledge, this long-time academic editor details why editors chose some books and decline others, how the publishing process works regarding books, how to read a contract, and other details of publishing a book.
Staying Motivated and Sane
Bolker, Joan. 1998. Writing Your Dissertation in Fifteen Minutes a Day: A Guide to Starting, Revising, and Finishing Your Doctoral Thesis. New York: Henry Holt and Co.
Excellent and very popular text on the psychological aspects of writing your dissertation. For writing a dissertation, not academic articles. Focuses on the emotional management of graduate school writing. Well written and to the point. She is a clinical psychologist who has spent the past two decades at Harvard exclusively helping blocked dissertation writers, so it is not surprising that she brings real skill to her task.
Becker, Howard S. 1986. Writing for Social Scientists: How to Start and Finish Your Thesis, Book, or Article. Chicago: University of Chicago Press.
This now fifteen-year old book represents an insightful analysis of why most academic writing is so terrible and a personal reflection on the task of writing. More motivational than concrete. For social science only.
Peterson, Karen E. 1996. The Tomorrow Trap: Unlocking the Secrets of the Procrastination-Protection Syndrome. Health Communications.
Good advice on avoiding procrastination.
Zerubavel, Eviatar. 1999. The Clockwork Muse : A Practical Guide to Writing Theses, Dissertations, and Books. Cambridge: Harvard Univ Press.
Focused on time management of long projects.
Caplan, Paula J. 1994. Lifting a Ton of Feathers: A Woman's Guide to Surviving in the Academic World. Toronto: University of Toronto Press.
A useful book for anyone, male or female, in the academy about its "unwritten rules,"twenty-seven "myths," and fifteen "catch-22s." Gives some general principles for coping with these myths and gives specific suggestions on dealing with specific challenges. Extensive bibliography of guides for non-dominant groups in the academy.
Goldsmith, John A., John Komlos, and Penny Schine Gold. 2001. The Chicago Guide to Your Academic Career: A Portable Mentor for Scholars from Graduate School through Tenure. Chicago: University of Chicago Press.
Gives advice on how to manage graduate school-working with mentors, writing a dissertation, and landing a job-as well as how to handle being an assitant professor, teaching and doing research, getting tenure, and how to combine work and your personal life. Written as a conversation among the three authors.
Writing Well
Williams, Joseph M. 1997. Style: Ten Lessons in Clarity and Grace. 5th ed. New York: Longman.
The famous book on how to write clearly. Now in its fifth edition. His advice is based on the concept that articles, paragraphs, and sentences have a story to tell through "characters" and "actions." Clarity results from "mapping characters and actions onto subjects and verbs" (101). Excellent advice on cohesion as well.
Booth, Wayne C., Gregory G. Colomb, and Joseph M. Williams. 1995. The Craft of Research. Chicago: University of Chicago Press.
Largely for undergraduates, but a good refresher on how to pick and pursue a topic.
Strunk, W., Jr., and E. B. White. 1979. The Elements of Style. 3rd ed. New York: Macmillan.
Still the bible of elegant, clear writing.

Style Manuals
Style manuals give detailed instructions for the preparation and publication of academic materials. Since authors and editors from around the world in various fields have different trainings and therefore present information in widely varied ways, style manuals are attempts to standardize these presentations. By setting rules on matters of taste and choice, style manuals insure that all the articles in a journal or book are presented in a uniform manner. For instance, while everyone agrees that a period should appear at the end of a sentence, should a footnote number preceed the period or follow it? There is no right or wrong answer, but since regular patterns increase readability, it is helpful if the editor can make sure that the number always appears in the same place throughout your article and the others in the volume.
Each style manual represents particular conventions of standarizing punctuation, spelling, foreign languages, capitalization, abbreviations, headings, quotations, numbers, names and terms, math, tables, figures, notes, and reference citations in text and references. Some of the most common manuals are listed below.
American Psychological Association. 2001. Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. 5th ed. Washington, DC: American Psychological Association.
Commonly called the APA, this manual is the standard for those in the social sciences, not just psychology. It focuses on the preparation of journal articles, not books. It provides more advice for authors on writing than some style manuals as it was originally designed for first-time authors. In addition to technical matters of style, it addresses designing and reporting on research, structuring articles, writing clearly, following ethical standards, avoiding bias in language, and converting the dissertation into a journal article.
Gibaldi, Joseph. 2003. MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing. 6th ed. New York: Modern Language Association of America.
This manual is the standard for those in the humanities, and particularly for those writing on literature or language. It can be used to prepare either articles or books. Like the APA, it is more addressed to authors than editors. In addition to technical matters of style, it addresses selecting a journal or publisher, wading the minefield of copyright issues, and writing for a particular audience.
University of Chicago Press. 2003. The Chicago Manual of Style. 15th ed. Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press.
Commonly called Chicago, this manual is the standard for the preparation of books. That is, it has a focus on books, rather than journal articles, and is oriented toward editors more than authors. It gives almost no advice on writing, but is much more comprehensive than any other style manual about technical matters. It includes an entire section on printing issues, such as composition and binding.

Excellent and very popular text on the psychological aspects of writing your dissertation. For writing a dissertation, not academic articles.

She is a clinical psychologist who has spent the past two decades at Harvard exclusively helping blocked dissertation writers, so it is not surprising that she brings real skill to her task.

Writing Well
Williams, Joseph M. 1997. Style: Ten Lessons in Clarity and Grace. 5th ed. New York: Longman.
The famous book on how to write clearly. Now in its fifth edition. His advice is based on the concept that articles, paragraphs, and sentences have a story to tell through "characters" and "actions."
