Linguistics Challenge Puzzles CampusCGI and WebScript services were decommissioned at 7:30 a.m. on Monday, January 28, 2013. All programs formerly accessible at the domains webscript.princeton.edu and campuscgi.princeton.edu have become inaccessible. If you who need forwarding from these legacy domain names to active web addresses (for example, old addresses being published in books or journals) please contact DAS at oitdas@princeton.edu. Since WebScript files were served from the public_html folder on your H drive, no special action is needed to retrieve those files after WebScript has been decommissioned. OIT will create a backup of all MySQL databases associated with WebScript accounts and store them at a location accessible by the OIT Help Desk. To retrieve a backup of your WebScript MySQL database, email the OIT Help Desk at helpdesk@princeton.edu.

How to Make a Hula Hoop How to Make a Collapsible Hoop: Since I've been getting quite a few requests for collapsible hoop-making instructions lately, here are the basics. In addition to what you need to make a regular hoop, to make a collapsible, you need: Four connectors per hoop instead of oneBulk bungee corduncoated coat hanger wirea power sander (or a lot of patience)several pairs of pliers and several hands Fair warning on two points: First, sanding down the connectors produces plastic dust that you do not want in your eyes or lungs. Here's how it works: Measure off a length of tubing to your desired hoop size, and cut. Heat one end of each of the four tubes, and slide the non-sanded ends of the connectors into each, up to the halfway point, leaving the sanded ends sticking out. You should be able to pull the hoop apart with some effort, but when spinning at top speed it should stay together.

The Most Comma Mistakes Draft is a series about the art and craft of writing. As I noted in my earlier article, rules and conventions about when to use and not to use commas are legion. But certain errors keep popping up. Here are a few of them. Identification Crisis If I’ve seen it once, I’ve seen it a thousand times. I’m referring to a student’s writing a sentence like: I went to see the movie, “Midnight in Paris” with my friend, Jessie. Comma after “movie,” comma after “friend” and, sometimes, comma after “Paris” as well. I went to see the movie “Midnight in Paris” with my friend Jessie. If that seems wrong or weird or anything short of clearly right, bear with me a minute and take a look at another correct sentence: I went to see Woody Allen’s latest movie, “Midnight in Paris,” with my oldest friend, Jessie. You need a comma after “movie” because this and only this is Mr. The syntactical situation I’m talking about is identifier-name. Grammatically, there are various ways of describing what’s going on. And even
How to convert a PDF file to Word, Excel or JPG format One common question I’ve gotten a lot these days is how to convert a PDF file to Microsoft Word format (doc), Excel format (xls), or JPG picture format. Usually, people want to know how to convert a file to PDF, but it’s also nice to be able to convert back the other way. There are multiple ways to get your PDF file into any of these three formats, but I’m going to stick with the easiest methods that require the least amount of software. You can pretty much do all of the conversions online these days using free tools. Convert PDF to JPG – Online Tools Go to ZamZar.com and click on the Choose Files button to get started. You can convert a PDF file, for example, into a doc or docx file, into a bmp, jpg, gif, or png file, etc. It seems the site is pretty busy and if you try to do a conversion at a very busy time, it can take a few hours or even a day or two to get your converted file.

Rules for Comma Usage Use a comma to separate the elements in a series (three or more things), including the last two. "He hit the ball, dropped the bat, and ran to first base." You may have learned that the comma before the "and" is unnecessary, which is fine if you're in control of things. However, there are situations in which, if you don't use this comma (especially when the list is complex or lengthy), these last two items in the list will try to glom together (like macaroni and cheese). Using a comma between all the items in a series, including the last two, avoids this problem. Use a comma + a little conjunction (and, but, for, nor, yet, or, so) to connect two independent clauses, as in "He hit the ball well, but he ran toward third base." Contending that the coordinating conjunction is adequate separation, some writers will leave out the comma in a sentence with short, balanced independent clauses (such as we see in the example just given). We visited Hartford, Connecticut, last summer.
