I saw a fabulous scarf last night.....
I was a guest at a local women's group meeting last night and during an exchange of gifts one lady received a fabulous scarf that really caught my eye. Upon closer inspection it turned out to be just three loose braids made up of various types and thicknesses of yarns, knotted at the top and bottom and loosely woven (think rag rug style) into a fluffly creation of colors and textures. My question....because I couldn't rip the thing off this womans neck and ply it apart....does anyone know anything about this style scarf...perhaps the kinds of yarns used, do I have the right idea on how it is constructed? Does it have a name? Anyone? Has anyone made or seen another one of these?
Could it have been something like this?
Here is a link that might be useful: braided scarf

From Accidents of Marriage. Read an excerpt here.
From Accidents of Marriage. Read an excerpt here.
When it comes to criticism from my writer's group, I need to hear or read the same idea two, three, or four times before I can incorporate it into my work-in-progress. Months after arguing with my fellow writers, (so blind! so ignorant!) I re-read their notes and am struck by wisdom where I formerly saw idiocy.
How do you decide what to keep and what to leave behind from critiques? One sure bet is the power of all yea or nay. I can't say it any better than Stephen Koch did in A Guide to the Craft of Fiction:
"No child could possibly be happy about her father moving out!"
The above was said to me at a writing workshop, in a discussion about my then unpublished novel (it eventually became The Murderer's Daughters.) The 'child' in question lived with a selfish, sarcastic, angry mother and an oft-drunk "mooning around" father. In the questioned scene this 10-year-old protagonist voices guilty relief at finding a less troubling atmosphere after her father moved out. A workshop member, adamant in his belief that no child would ever feel relief at her father leaving the house, expressed insistence bordering on disbelief (that I would write such an emotion)! bordering on disdain (that I would be able to dredge up such an emotion)!
"My agent and editor started talking about 'the list' from the start, virtually ensuring that I'd consider myself a failure if I didn't make it. At first, when they talked about it, I didn't even know what "the list" was—didn't know there was truly only one 'list.'
"You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you." Ray Bradbury
The New York Times Bestseller list (AKA "the list") is the writer's holy grail. Despite being rife with methodology that many claim to comprehend, but none can swear to understanding; despite not being a measure of selling the most books, but of selling the most books that week at those stores, every author wants the honor.
(first published in 2011)
Originally, I tried to resist writing this—especially after my plea against categorizing authors. Plus, so many of us hide our age in this world of never-get-old, unearthing this information, even in our Googlized world, was difficult.
But when , along with the plethora of lists of writers under 40, I was faced with the declaration that, as headlined in a Guardian UK article about writers, 'Let's Face It, After 40 You're Past It."
The first time I looked for a job, Help Wanted was divided into three sections: Men, Women, and General. If memory serves me (I doubt it) men's jobs were the professional ones, women's were the handmaiden ones, and general included dishwashers and drivers.
Trust me, the career paths were separate and not equal.
I remembered those categories while writing this post (which I wish I wasn't writing) when I came across the terms microinequity and micro-affirmation, first coined by Mary Rowe, who defined micro-inequities as "apparently small events which are often ephemeral and hard-to-prove, events which are covert, often unintentional, frequently unrecognized by the perpetrator, which occur wherever people are perceived to be 'different.'"
Last week I taught an all day seminar at Grub Street on "Writing Tools for Beginning a Novel" where I learned how difficult it is to condense the process into six hours . . . and how exhilarating it is to step back and look at the entire process.
At day's end it seemed as though I'd climbed a mountain where (for a day) I could look down at the forest and also take note of the trees. For those who appreciate concise road maps, my aerial view of writing a novel is below. Note the word "my." There are as many methods and belief systems are there are writers—this one's mine.
"I speak not for myself but for those without voice... those who have fought for their rights... their right to live in peace, their right to be treated with dignity, their right to equality of opportunity, their right to be educated."
Malala Yousafzai
"If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner."
Nelson Mandela
"I am not only a pacifist, but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war."
Albert Einstein

If the exhaust manifold is leaking, you will need to replace the gasket if it has one or maybe install one if it doesn't. But, usually the cause of a leak is a broken manifold stud and/or a warped manifold. You'll have to remove the manifold from the head or maybe from the car, either way. You can get a machine shop to check for warping or you can try just a gasket if one's available and you feel lucky. A broken stud must be extracted and that's a tricky operation, someitmes.

Philadelphia's Wi-Fi Back Online, Privately 50
from the asymptotically-approaching-the-correct-model dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
This probably should have been modded "funny" instead of "troll". There really are people suing to get wi-fi shut down because they claim to be allergic to it.
It's all great until some moron who's "attuned to the Earth" sues them claiming that the wireless transmissions are geiving them bad vibrations and the dowsers claim this is totally fucking with their stick pointing duties.
Have you been to Philly?
I live here... The last thing we worry about is "bad vibrations", more likely we're afraid of random violence.
Think I'm joking?
These were only in the last few days.
We're not Santa Fe...
Then one day people found out that the only way they could use the free service was to download some Windows-only program that spewed out ads by the dozen. Linux and BSD users were locked out.
That's an interesting perspective. When there is Windows only software, I'd think most people would be more concerned with Mac OS X being locked out than Linux (given their relative market share) let alone BSD. Unless, I suppose, one classifies OS X as a BSD.
OS specific ads seem pretty pointless. There seem to be well proven technologies to inject ads into Web content, regardless of OS.
Well, OS X users have their tethered iPhones [slashdot.org]...
TFA doesn't say anything about ads. If it's true, it's cause for concern, since there's no way to implement that without altering packets.the new investors are thinking of using advertisements
This could lop months off their timeframe!The private group won't estimate when the network might be completed (it's at 80%), saying it will take months to assess where the project is and what it needs.

If Governor McAuliffe agrees, small farmers could operate agritourism activities under less restrictive regulations … thanks to legislation that has now passed both houses of the General Assembly. The new law would prohibit local governments from requiring special-use permits and imposing stringent noise regulations unless there's a substantial impact on public welfare or safety.
While small farmers embraced this bill, they did not get everything they wanted during the legislative session.
Two major lobbyists – the American Farm Bureau Federation and the Fertilizer Institute -- have some new allies in their legal fight against a plan to clean up the Chesapeake Bay, and environmentalists here are furious.
A tiny, invasive bug is bringing down hemlock trees from Appalachia to southern Canada. And scientists fear another treasured native tree may be going the way of the American chestnut, forever changing forest ecosystems.
Researchers at Virginia Tech are hoping to beat the invaders at their own game. They're using a new invasive species to keep an old one in check, and save the American hemlock tree.
Forty years on, the Endangered Species Act continues to demonstrate its effects on a species native to this area; the fresh water mussel.
You might say these shellfish do the heavy lifting when it comes to keeping waterways healthy. More strains of these living water filters grow in this region, than anywhere else in the world.
The small buildings at Virginia Tech's Freshwater Mollusk Conservation Center in Blacksburg seem more like a fishing village than a high tech research facility.

Scientists at Virginia Tech are making progress with a key species that helps keep area waterways alive and healthy.

Very small operation on the lake. Friendly people and we had no problems getting set up. But seemed pretty primitive tho we did eat at the small cafe that operates there. I was quiet except for one barking dog who quieted down as we went to bed. This is primarily a marina operation. We chose it because it was far from the interstate.

The Open-Source Everything Manifesto
Transparency, Truth, and Trust
The Open-Source Everything Manifesto is a distillation of author, strategist, analyst, and reformer Robert David Steele life's work: the transition from top-down secret command and control to a world of bottom-up, consensual, collective decision-making as a means to solve the major crises facing our world today. The book is intended to be a catalyst for citizen dialog and deliberation, and for inspiring the continued evolution of a nation in which all citizens realize our shared aspiration of direct democracy—informed participatory democracy. Open-Source Everything is a cultural and philosophical concept that is essential to creating a prosperous world at peace, a world that works for one hundred percent of humanity. The future of intelligence is not secret, not federal, and not expensive. It is about transparency, truth, and trust among our local to global collective. Only "open" is scalable.
As we strive to recover from the closed world corruption and secrecy that has enabled massive fraud within governments, banks, corporations, and even non-profits and universities, this timely book is a manifesto for liberation—not just open technology, but open everything.

Deseret News editorial: Elizabeth Smart's case finds closure at last
Ogden serial rapist apologizes to victims, will likely remain in prison
HOLLADAY — Rebecca Mills had just turned 16 when she became Jason Higgins' first victim.
She was raped at knifepoint in the alley of a church parking lot just two blocks from her Ogden home in 1996.
Higgins was sentenced two years later for raping her and seven other girls, mostly teenagers. The conviction brought a measure of relief to the teen. But even as Higgins was on his way to the Utah State Prison, Mills was about to begin a life sentence of her own.
The innocent 16-year-old girl was free-spirited and smart. She graduated from high school a year early and secured two scholarships. But she never used the scholarships and within a few years spiraled into drug abuse. She became a heroin junkie.
"I was so young at the time, I was just 16. I think for the first few years I was really trying to stay strong so my family wouldn't see how fragile I really was on the inside," Mills said Monday.
"I knew," interjected Mills' mother, Catherine Liston.
"I just felt like my life had been stolen from me because I wasn't afraid before this happened," Mills said. "And now, ever since then, I'm still afraid of the dark, still afraid of everything, still afraid to be in the house alone. I feel he has stolen so much control over my life.
"I felt so lost because nobody knew how I felt sometimes. I really just had too much on my mind to go to college and use my scholarships. … And I look back on that and think, 'Gosh, if that hadn't have happened, I had these two scholarships, I think I would have gone really far in life.'"
On Tuesday, Mills hopes to take the an important step in reclaiming her life.
Higgins, 39, will appear for his first parole hearing since he was ordered in 1998 to serve six prison terms of 15 years to life for nine rapes of eight girls between October 1996 and February 1997. Two of those sentences were ordered to run consecutively, essentially giving him a 30-years-to-life sentence.
Although Mills and Liston know that Higgins will not be granted parole Tuesday, they want the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole to know how his actions continue to hurt their family.
"What he did, he didn't kill her, thank God. But he killed the person that she was. He killed her soul … he broke her soul," Liston said of her daughter. "That's a permanent life sentence that will never go away. My heart is broken and it will never heal.
"I listen to her talk and I still fall apart because I just can't stand that somebody did this to her and how it has altered our lives," Liston said. "Where would we be today? What would we be doing? Would she be married and have a bunch of kids?"
Looking at a younger picture of herself on the table, Mills said she sees a person who was happy.
That changed in 1996 when she was attacked while walking home alone from a pep rally at Ben Lomond High School.
"I remember everything about that night. I thought I was going to die. When he let me go, it was like, 'Wow, I'm not going to die.' I just ran into the closest house I could see. They had their door open and I just ran inside and they called 911," Mills said.
"Right before he had grabbed me, I had turned around because I heard a pebble on the ground. I said, 'Oh you scared me.' That's when he grabbed me. I got a really good look at his face."
Higgins didn't say a word to Mills before he grabbed her. She was the first of his victims and the girl who got the best look at her attacker. She helped police create a composite drawing of Higgins and she and her mother helped post flyers all over Ogden.
