The Sixth Internet Governance Forum begins next week
The Internet Governance Forum is a multi-stakeholder policy dialogue space convened by the UN since 2006 to "foster the sustainability, robustness, security, stability and development of the internet". It acts as a pressure valve for some of the most controversial internet governance issues. People with radically different and often opposing views come together in an environment that is generally respectful and constructive. This year's IGF is on internet as a catalyst for change.

I have a friend who recently purchased a 2013 2LT Chevy Camaro the stock motor pushes about 323 hp and is a sub 6 second car. Apparently, he added a cold air induction system and mega flow mufflers, and now it's well over 370 hp just by adding better mufflers and cold air induction system. It's 0 to 60 time is around 5.1 now and sounds monstrous with those new pipes. it's a beautiful color Blue Ray metallic, and it's loaded with head up display, leather, sunroof, and the works. I was thinking of picking up one myself and I was wondering if I would be voiding my 3 year/36000 stock warranty by adding the performance upgrades?
Your friends Camaro isnt making 370hp with just an air intake and exhaust system, maybe 340hp at best. There is a ton of grey area when it comes to what voids the warranty, according to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty act of 1975, the act states that the dealer must be able to PROVE that the aftermarket part was the sole cause of the damage before the dealer can deny warranty coverage. Aftermarket parts wont void the warranty, but street racing or messing with the odometer will instantly void it.Remember vehicles today can monitor your speed, so if u blow the engine and the dealer sees its cause you were going 120mph, he may not feel inclined to cover the costs.
Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine- Elvis Presley
I'm not a car expert by any means but I think he has some additional performance modifications as well he mostly talks about the Cold Air induction which he says added almost 16 hp, and mega-flow mufflers added up to 15 hp more. I think he may have some other enhancements as well. I"ll get the details and response back. He seems to think he can get 400 hp out of the 3.6L V6 engine and he knows his engines.
A cold air intake will not add 15 hp to a modern V6. The intake is already pretty free breathing and pulling cold air from behind the lower section of the grille. The exhaust adding 15 hp is kinda dubious as well.I agree with BigDog. 340 hp max with those mods, maybe 350 tuned. The engine is already pretty maxed out in terms of performance. There's no way your friend can hit 400 hp without tearing down the engine or utilizing forced induction.I know a bit about the 3.6L, and in the case of the port injected version I own, plenty of people have tried modding it and the gains just aren't there. Intake, exhaust, and tune is good for like 20 hp.
The other side of this is budget. Your friend's 2013 2LT V6 plus mods easily pushes it into SS price range, which he should have bought in the first place.
Hahaha, no way he got even 10hp from those mods. Did your friend pull the motor and hook it up to an engine dyno to get the exact crank hp number?A CAI will add around 5-10hp, and it will need to be tuned to even take advantage of it. The Magnaflow (wtf is mega-flow?) mufflers will add exactly 0 hp, as the factory ones are fairly free flowing. They will drop a decent amount of weight, maybe 20lbs though.And it certainly doesn't sound "monstrous" with aftermarket mufflers. It just sounds like a weedy 350Z. Good luck on those 400 horses.
=========================2004 E55 - Silver2013 Boss 302 - School Bus Yellow2003 SVT Cobra coupe - Zinc Yellow - a few mods...
Well thanks for your opinions anyway. I think I'll get the SS instead of the V6 version.Thanks
PLEASE, get an SS over the v6 if you can afford it....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-2013 F150 FX4 5.0Formerly Blackstallion4209
just buy the ss
Get the SS and if you do go with the LS3 which comes with the 6 spd manual. The Auto comes with the L99 engine which from what I've heard responds to mods very well. So If you go with an L99 MOD IT!!!
I think your friend is just adding the "claimed" increases found on the box. Those increases never happen. Put it on the dyno. He'd be lucky to see 10hp or so from the intake and exhaust.And yea, if you have the money, always go for the SS. lol I'm not an American muscle fan, but you cant deny the deep rumble of an american V8.
You can't deny the shove you get from LS.

There are very few movies in history that you can look at and point to and say… There. That one started it. With the "it" being an entire genre (or sub genre) of film. A bona fide lineage of films that follow in its footsteps.
"Halloween" is one such movie.
There are 293 films on IMDb with the keyword "Slasher Flick". Of those, only 12 were released prior to "Halloween", of those only six were American movies. Of those six, the highest user rating is "The Gore Gore Girls" at 5.2.
You can be assured that none of those films launched the slasher movie craze that dominated horror through the 80s and most of the 90s.
No, that honor belongs to "Halloween".

When Norway's Ingvild Isaksen came on in last month's UEFA Women's EURO 2013 final, it was the realisation of a childhood dream – yet it was not the first time she had represented her country in a European showpiece.
Here, she reflects on her time at the 2008 UEFA European Women's Under-19 Championship in France, when Norway reached the final before being edged out by Italy. She talks about the valuable experience, working under long-standing coach Jarl Torske and the the frustrations of falling just short, as the senior team did against Germany last month.

text: I currently live in Kent, WA. I haven't lived up here real long so I don't know the area as well as I'd like to. I'd really like to pack up the kids (5 and 2) and do some easy offroad trails and maybe even find a spot to camp this weekend. I've been looking around at different sites for ideas but I can't find anything with real clear descriptions of trails, directions and photos. I have a friend who lives in phoenix who belongs to a site that has detailed photos and descriptions of every trail in the area, so I've gotten kind of used to that. Anyway, does anyone have any idea? I don't mind driving a little, but would prefer not to do more than two hours travel time (one way) max. I have a brand new truck so I don't want anything too gnarly that will will significantly damage the body. I have plans to get it lifted and I'll get more adventurous then, but for now just want to hit some dirt trails and hills. Any suggestions? Thanks. Jeremy

Almost everyone likes the look of barrister bookcases. But what makes them so appealing? I think there are a number of characteristics that make the barrister design popular and enduring.
First is that the individual units of the case stack together. And because they are separate units, they can be arranged in any desired height configuration to fit any area of your home or office.
Second, they are elegant as well as functional. The wood-framed glass doors, when lowered, protect your books or other valuables from moisture and dust – not to mention those tiny pudding-laced fingers of the little ones. They also allow you to look through the glass for a specific item without the undo stress of operating the doors. In the open position, with the doors raised and slid back into the case, you have easy access to those leather-bound sources of knowledge.
Third, as you will see, we rethought the construction so these cases can be built with the easiest techniques – without sacrificing any classic design elements. These are the easiest barrister bookcases you will ever build.
We decided to build a stack of three units – each identical in construction and design, with one slightly different in height. There are two larger units for over-sized books and special keepsakes, and one that is slightly shorter in height. Those, along with the top and bottom units, add up to the appropriate design for our bookcase needs.
Your set can be created with only one unit, or it could be a stack of five, along with the top and bottom sections. (More than five units is unwieldy and potentially unstable.)
One Panel Chops into Three
We wanted the grain on each case side to be consistent from top to bottom as we stacked our individual units. This is a matter of aesthetics, not a necessity. (I'm sure somewhere during this case's lifetime, the units will be stacked without regard to the grain.)
What is a necessity, in order to get the units to stack without problems, is to make the width of each unit equal in size. This is best accomplished by starting with one large glued-up panel of the correct width that is then crosscut into the appropriate lengths.
Once the sides are milled according to the plan, there are three rabbets that need to be cut in each side panel. One rabbet goes at the top and bottom of each side panel. Those rabbets are for the full-width case bottom and the front and back rails at the top. You also need a rabbet at the back edge of the side panels that will house the backboards. That rabbet hides the backboards when viewing the bookcase from the side.
A dado blade is the best choice for cutting the rabbets. Install a sacrificial fence, set the blade for the widest cut (at least 3/4″) and position the blade below the saw top. Adjust the fence to the blade so that 3/4″ of cutting width is exposed and with the blade running, slowly raise the cutter to a height of 1/8″. With this setting, a single pass over the blade will create the 3/4″-wide x 1/8″-deep rabbets at the top and bottom edge of the side panels.
Next, again with the blade moving, raise the height to 7/16″. This is to create the rabbet for the backboards. They fit into a 3/4″-wide x 7/16″-deep rabbet. If you are trying to keep the grain aligned, as we have, you need to determine the front edge of the bookcase prior to crosscutting the individual side panels into smaller sections. Or, choose the best edge of your stock for the front face at this time and cut the backboard rabbets into the opposite edge.
Your Groove is Important
Creating the groove in which the doors slide is the most difficult task involved in building these bookcases – but all it takes is a plunge router with a guide fence and a 1/4″ upcut spiral router bit.
Positioning this groove is the trick. It needs to be located correctly from the top edge of the sides, so the guide fence of the router becomes key. Set the fence so the router bit plunges into the side with 11/8″ of material between the top edge and the groove. The 1/4″ cut will then be perfectly set for the placement of the centered brass rods in the bookcase doors, and it builds in the necessary 1/8″ spacing so the top edge of the door does not bind when opened.
Next, you need to find the starting or stopping point of the cut depending on which side you're working. On each right-side panel you'll plunge at the front edge and finish the cut through the backboard rabbet. On the left-side panels you'll begin coming through that rabbet and complete the cut by stopping at the correct location and removing the bit from the work surface. Attacking the groove this way registers each cut off of the top edge of the side panels and makes the best use of the guide fence.
The location that you need to stop on is 3/8″ in from the front edge of the sides to the beginning of the routed groove. Where did this number come from, beside the plan? The 1/4″ brass rods that are used to hang the doors are located in the center of the 3/4″-thick doors. The outer 1/4″ of door stock along with the design feature of the 1/8″ offset of the door to the front edge of the case adds up to that exact location.
With the setup and location locked in, rout the 5/16″-deep grooves into the sides as shown in the picture at right.
The doors will be held in position toward the front with two brass rods per side. The top rod is centered 1-3/4″ from the top edge of the side and in 1″ from the front edge. These two rods act as a pivot for the sliding door.
The second rod location is pulled from the bottom edge of the sides and is also set at a measurement of 1-3/4″. It too is located 1″ in from the front edge. This rod placement gives the door something to close against while holding the door parallel to the case front when closed.

He asked that we set aside at least one evening or one day a week to talk about black history and to keep it alive. We plan to honor his request with a gallery every week this month to celebrate significant events, timelines, births and to remember those who have passed away.


text: So, here's my story, a few weeks ago I was driving and noticed a smell, then a minute lator I noticed my water temp guage said I was at about 240 degrees. So I drove home, about a quarter of a mile. Popped the hood and let it cool down. I have a coolent leak, I was reletivly empty. Well since then, I keep a close eye on it, cause I probably can't aford to fix it at the moment. I know there is plenty of coolent in there. The thing thats getting me is, before, and like most cars I've ridden in, the water temp guage always showed me running right around boiling, 212. Now it doesn't seem to get over 160*. Now if that was it, then I wouldn't be to worried, but after driving awhile, when I park the truck and go pop the hood it has that "hot" smell to it, if that makes since. So what should I do? Is it easy to get an after market water temperature guage and instal that? Should I replace the thermostat? I'm kind of at a loss. I've noticed my leak is extremely slow, so I can't trace where it's comeing from. Any pointers on that? I would just take it to a shop, but like alot of folks, I'm unemployed, so the more I can do myself the better off I'll be. I certainly don't want to burn my engine up. So yeah.... any pointers, advice, etc... would be great. thanks. *correction, "now it doesn't seem to get over 185"

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by a_minimalist, Apr 28, 2012.
WOW!! good move by them
How many DB's have they taken in this draft?
He should have been off every team's board. Idiot got into a fight with a cop. Probably going to jail.
They can have him. I did not want character issue guys and we didn't take any.
Don't think he's that good anyway.
The Cowboy Way!!!
Thank you Jason Garrett!!!! I really like the direction of this team!!!!
Come on Training Camp!!!!!!
OTAs next week.
Belichick is always robbing the draft.
Probably the best value pick in this entire draft. Was a late 1st until he went to the senior bowl and tried to play with a hip injury, and looked bad until he dropped out. That began his drop to the 2nd round. Then he does something stupid right before the draft and a guy was a 1st-2nd round pick ends up a 7th round pick.
Two CB's so far and one Safety. I think.
Yeah, he is going to provide so much value while he is sitting in jail during the season.
But great Madden pick up!
Value wise it was a steal. If Bellichick can't whip him into shape, no one can.
lol slight exaggeration on your part. just slight.
No, it's not an exaggeration. The guy committed a felony. Felony usually means jail time. Even if he pleads out and gets probation of some sort, he's the kind of knucklehead who will violate it end back in jail. Plaxico style.
fyi: http://espn.go.com/nfl/draft2012/st...rnhuskers-cornerback-alfonzo-dennard-set-5000
Talented or not, no one should have drafted this guy.
I know, but those are so unfullfilling... (did I just say that?? Good Grief!!)
If dramatics were a combine event, you would be Mike Mamula.
He's not going to jail.
Who cares? If he can't get on the field, it was a wasted pick, no matter where they took him.
I'm pretty sure the organization that is run by one of the smartest coaches in football history wouldn't draft a player that couldn't play.
He took chad jackson in the first or second. How did that turn out. Belicheck misses on picks like everyone else
Worked out well the last time they took a DB with character concerns (Meriweather).

I'm thinking about doing some hive removals this year and was wondering what everyone does for scaffolding, I tried a quick search and didn't find any discussion on it. Might be I missed it. I've worked as a builder for a couple years now so I'm comfortable, though respectful, with scaffolding, ladders and working at heights.
In my mind there are two choices, ladder jacks and biljax type pipe scaffolding. I'm leaning toward that ladder jacks because of the price and portability, as well as the ability to use the ladders independently, plus I have one extension ladder already.
In favor of the biljax is a larger and more stable platform to work from. But you would need at leas three sets, probably four to get to some places. Hauling all those pieces wouldn't leave much room in the truck for other equipment.
Anyone use pump jacks or homemade setups?
Any advice, observations, and anecdotes are greatly appreciated, thanks.


text: Strange game. Probably DHo's worst in a long time... maybe ever? Nice job on D by our bigs (especially Ben and secondarily Kwame) and nice job attacking by our guards. Also, we seemed to get a lot of respect from the refs. Wilcox was just sort of there. 0 points, 1 rebound, 1 foul, and 1 turnover in 16 minutes? You'd think Maxiell could do better than that, but who knows what we would have given up on D.

The surgeons listed above are members of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, licensed by the state of Colorado and certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).
Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.

An ANA test detects antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in your blood. Your immune system normally makes antibodies to help you fight infection. In contrast, antinuclear antibodies often attack your body's own tissues — specifically targeting each cell's nucleus.
In most cases, a positive ANA test indicates that your immune system has launched a misdirected attack on your own tissue — in other words, an autoimmune reaction. But some people have positive ANA tests even when they're healthy.
Your doctor may order an ANA test if he or she suspects you have an autoimmune disease such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis or scleroderma.
A rheumatoid factor test measures the amount of rheumatoid factor in your blood. Rheumatoid factors are proteins produced by your immune system that can attack healthy tissue in your body.
High levels of rheumatoid factor in the blood are most often associated with autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and Sjogren's syndrome. But rheumatoid factor may be detected in some healthy people, and people with autoimmune diseases sometimes have normal levels of rheumatoid factor.

text: Nice place here. You can call me Dagwood, after poking around a few places looking for answers about our truck I stumbled on this crowed and you all seem fairly friendly, so I thought I'd sign up. I live on the east side of Toronto, but cheer for Montreal (Go Habs!) since the leafs suck. Alas this leads to marital strife. I should have checked her hockey affilliations before we got married. Our 'Thunderbuggy' is an older 2WD 'burban we picked up last fall and have been using as a daily driver ever since. The previous owner put on a full custom exhaust with headers and chrome and stainless, fibreglass running boards, and aftermarket taillights. We got the Burban because with a family of 6 its near impossible to find a 'family car' that fits a family. We also have a small sailboat we need the ability to haul around, and the burban is about right for puling 7,000 lbs of fg up and down the highway. Our second car is a Buick, I've always had good luck with GM products, and seem to land on my face with about anything else. If you pass through Toronto, flip on your CB when you hit Ajax and give a shoutout, I monitor 19 for whatever fun is out there.

Also today Eli was ranked the third best QB in NFC east.
It is nice to see that the giants haters are more resilient then the whack teams they love.
here is my prediction Vick is done. They want to act like he can make another run. he can't hes done. He is not getting better, he is getting worse. He wont make it though the season standing up because although he is brave he is stupid and he will end his own career scrambling for three extra yards. Even if he does make it though the season I bet he will land on the bench and the eagirls will move on.

Alicia Keys is apparently in a BlackBerry state of mind.
The R&B superstar was just announced as the "global creative director" of the Canadian tech company formerly known as Research In Motion which is now calling itself BlackBerry after its iconic phone.
During the BlackBerry 10 launch, Keys said "I was in a long-term relationship with BlackBerry, then I noticed hotter, more attractive sexier phones at the gym. So I broke up with you for a while. I missed the way you organised my life, so I carried two phones and played the field a bit. But then you gave me a call, told me you'd been working out. Now I'm happy to announce we're exclusively dating again!"
It's hard to know what she'll bring to the boardroom table beyond her own fame — aside from saying sayonara to her slutty iPhone, Keys says she's use the BlackBerry Z10 to shoot music videos during tour stops that "capture sights, sounds, and fans of every city that I visit."
And she's not alone.
Director Robert Rodriguez and author Neil Gaiman were also announced as artistic partners with BlackBerry.
These positions aren't as unique as they seem. Lady Gaga is a creative director for Polaroid and Will.i.am has held the title of "Director of Creative Innovation" over at Intel (which makes sense considering how, er, innovative the Black Eyed Peas are).
It's hard to know what she'll bring to the boardroom table beyond her own fame — aside from saying sayonara to her slutty iPhone, Keys says she's use the BlackBerry Z10 to shoot music videos during tour stops that "capture sights, sounds, and fans of every city that I visit."
|@ SunnyFreeman : #RIM er #BlackBerry shares down nearly 5% on TSX despite seemingly successful launch. Investors unhappy about something? Just profit taking?
Read more on release dates and pricing here (will be updated through the day)
The long-awaited BlackBerry Z10 will hit Canadian stores on Feb. 5, and will be available for 9 with a three-year contract, the company formerly known as RIM announced Tuesday.
The event has formally wrapped and MacLeod and Bidulka take the stage to a standing ovation to close the Toronto launch.
Apple can keep Feist. BlackBerry is upping its cool ante.
Grammy winner Alicia Keys is not only BlackBerry's new creative director but commercial star, and is launching the "Keep Moving Project" which she'll use to create films using BlackBerry 10 at the Super Bowl and her new world tour. The commercial also features Robert Rodriguez and author Neil Gaiman.

As a replacement for older versions of BlackBerry OS, BB 10 is a huge step out of the dark ages of mobile OS design. It's something that finally feels intended for a modern, full-touch device, yet still offers the core productivity focus we think BBID-holders will like. Does it have mainstream appeal? Yes, it does, but we're not sure a great stock keyboard and some trick gestures are enough to unseat the current kings of mobile devices.
Martyn Mallick, vice-president of global alliances and business development, takes to the stage to introduce some apps. He says the deliberate decision to launch a phone with more apps and social use has already paid off — it already has more than 70,000 applications available.
"With the momentum that we've built we will continue to see thousands of apps added every week," he says.
Key apps include Skype, Kindle, What'sApp, Facebook, AND Angry Birds.
A lack of apps for BlackBerry compared to Android and Apple devices had been a huge setback for the company and a big incentive for users to switch to competitors. (via Sunny Freeman)
"Yes, we have Skype committed to BlackBerry 10 ... And yes we have Angry Birds committed to Blackberry 10."
There are some pretty cool new media features on the BlackBerry 10 devices. The timeshift camera we already knew about but the BlackBerry story maker is a pretty awesome video editor.
A slight problem for RIM, errr BlackBerry, however, is that their share prices has fallen about four per cent since the event started, perhaps on news the new phones won't be available until March!
|@ SunnyFreeman : Loyal CrackBerry users... Are you ok with waiting for the #Z10 until March? And the keyboard device #Q10 in April? #BlackBerrry10
|@ SunnyFreeman : #BlackBerry showing off another leaked feature... the timeshift camera... there's also a built in photo editor http://t.co/w9ZgbytE
BBM video chat
|@ SunnyFreeman : Leaks were right about many #BlackBerry10 details like BlackBerry Balance, name #Z10 but #RIMnamechange a shocker!
BBM Video -- chat moves into video seamlessly
New BlackBerry (hard not to call them RIM any more) showcases the Blackberry hub on their new devices. It is pretty innovative, lets you manage all your social profiles on one screen. It also pulls up profiles of your contacts and shows you what they've been saying on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter.
They've moved on to an intuitive keyboard that has words flick up on screen as you type to save time and reduce mistakes. It's supposed to make it easier to delete, add hashtags, numbers, etc. AND recognizes various languages. Thorsten himself looks pretty impressed.
The tech company behind the BlackBerry smartphone brand announced it would rename itself after its flagship product at the launch of its new BlackBerry 10 platform on Tuesday.
"It is one brand, it is one promise … From today on, we are BlackBerry everywhere in the world," CEO Thorsten Heins told a New York audience.
|@ Ihnatko : Demo of Blackberry Flow, the mechanism for moving around. This is what I saw: it's VERY easy to work BB10 with one hand.

September 2016
TO: Faculty
FROM: Barbara Casey, Registrar, x4286
RE: Information on Selected College Policies and Academic Regulations
Faculty are encouraged to call students' attention to the policy regarding recording of classroom activities and distribution of course materials, and to discuss with the class any particularities of how the policy would operate in their classroom.
The policy states: Williams College seeks to protect the integrity of what transpires in the classroom among students and professor, any course materials prepared by the professor, and the privacy of students and faculty. With this in mind, Williams College prohibits any recording (audio or video) of lectures, seminars, or other classroom activities without the express permission of the instructor. Authorized recordings (including any made in order to accommodate ADA considerations) and all other course materials (including any materials posted on Glow or other Course Management site) may only be used for the purposes of an individual's (or group's) study in the course, and may not be shared with any wider audience on or off campus unless the instructor has explicitly given such permission. Violations of this policy would be considered a violation of community standards and would fall under the disciplinary processes in place at the College.
Students are greatly helped in planning work for all courses if professors clearly set out in advance their expectations about the nature and timing of required work. Students should receive course syllabi promptly at the beginning of the course, and any revisions should follow as soon thereafter as possible. The dates of in-term exams should be included if possible. In addition, please list any field trips or other special activities and inform Leslie Brown, Chair of the Calendar & Schedule Committee, of any such trips.
Students should receive periodic evaluation of their work during the semester. The evaluation can be in many forms: papers, quizzes, tests, graded laboratory reports, etc. In courses designed primarily for first-year students, some substantial part of a course's graded work should be scheduled and evaluated before warnings are due at mid-semester.
Occasionally, the Office of Academic Resources will request faculty members to modify course procedures in order to accommodate students with disabilities. These modifications are in almost all cases very minor, such as the provision of a note-taker or extended time on an exam. In the case of extended exam time, you will be given timely notice so that arrangements can be made. You should feel free to call the Director of Academic Resources if, for any reason, you feel the need for advice or information on this subject.
The College administers no general program to ensure class attendance. But the Catalog makes clear that "faculty may set standards of attendance as they feel are necessary for the satisfactory completion of the course," and that "students must assume the academic risks incurred by absences." Students have also been told that instructors may drop from their courses, or refuse to add, anyone who misses the first class meeting.
Because many of you, in some way, factor attendance into the calculation of final grades, I strongly recommend that you explain your attendance policy as clearly and specifically as you can, both on your syllabus and in class. Clarity of expectation is very important and helpful to everyone should problems arise in the course of the term. You should also ask your students to talk to you about any conflicts as early as they can, and never less than a week beforehand.
Students who repeatedly miss class are often experiencing a variety of academic and personal problems. If one of your students is repeatedly missing classes, please notify the Dean's Office so that we can offer the student help and advice.
Below is a link to the Chaplains' Office listing major religious holidays. Members of the community who wish to celebrate such holidays would appreciate it if you would avoid scheduling required classes or exercises on those days. A Massachusetts law, included in the Catalog, stipulates that students who cannot meet course requirements at the appointed time because they are observing religious holidays must be provided the opportunity to make up the work--unless, in the words of the law, it creates "an unreasonable burden" on the school and the faculty. http://chaplain.williams.edu/religious-holidays/
Students are expected to attend classes even on days when there is an unusually strong desire to skip; e.g., the last day before spring break.
It may be helpful to know that informational material sent to students this summer included the following statement: "When planning your departures from the College at holidays or vacations, please bear in mind that you will not be excused (by your teachers or deans) from classes or exams to accommodate early departures."
TUTORING PROGRAM, THE WRITING WORKSHOP, and THE MATH SCIENCE RESOURCE CENTER
Each year department chairs provide THE ACADEMIC RESOURCES OFFICE with lists of students (often majors in the field) who could serve as tutors for students wanting and/or seeking additional support in that department's courses. If you think a student could be helped by a tutor, please refer him or her to the Office of Academic Resources for information. Tutors are provided to students without charge.
The Writing Workshop is a peer-staffed writing support service available to all students and is free of charge. Located at the main entrance of Sawyer Library, the Writing Workshop is staffed by writing tutors throughout the day seven days a week. Students can sign up in advance for an hour-long session through the scheduler on the Writing Workshop webpage; a student may also stop by for an unscheduled drop-in appointment, but priority is given to students who've booked sessions in advance. Sessions can focus on nearly finished essays or on essays at any stage of development. Tutors ask questions and generate dialogue, so they can help their peers with essays at the very earliest stages of composition and thought. Advice offered by writing tutors focuses on form and effectiveness of writing but does not address content directly.
The Writing Workshop also offers a Writing Partner service to support students who may need more attention and guidance than can be provided within a regular Writing Workshop session. A student who requests a Writing Partner is paired with a specific tutor who can provide specialized ongoing guidance on writing assignments throughout the semester. Working with a Writing Partner can be particularly helpful for students who are less experienced writers or concerned about meeting writing demands in multiple courses. Only a limited number of writing partners is available each semester, so students in need are encouraged to make requests early by sending an e-mail to email@example.com.
The Math Science Resource Center (MSRC) is devoted to helping Williams students taking the following courses: in Mathematics and Statistics (MATH 102, MATH 130, MATH 140, MATH 150, MATH 151,), Biology (BIOL 101, BIOL 102, and BIOL 202), Chemistry (CHEM 151, CHEM 153, CHEM 155, CHEM 156, CHEM 251, and CHEM 256) and Physics (PHYS 131, PHYS 132, PHYS 141, and PHYS 142). Students enrolled in the courses listed above may drop by the Resource Center whenever they have questions for a student tutor or when they are looking for a place to study with others taking the same course. The Center, located in Schow Library 030 is staffed by FACULTY-NOMINATED Williams students and works in close COLLABORATION with the faculty. The Center is open Sunday through Thursday evenings, 8 p.m. until midnight. The schedule for support in specific classes may be found: http://academicresources.williams.edu/
Students are welcome at the Math Science Resource Center as often as they would like to come. This service is provided to students without charge. If you have questions about any of these Academic Resources, please feel free to call the Office of Academic Resources at x4672 or stop in at Room 202 in the Paresky Center.
If you have reason to believe at any point that a student has committed a breach of academic honesty, please contact the Faculty Chair of the Honor Committee, Gretchen Long, directly. Do not first discuss the matter with the student involved.
During registration in the fall, all Williams students agree to abide by an academic Honor Code, which is described in the Course Catalog and in the Student Handbook. The Honor Code covers all aspects of academic honesty, including the writing of papers and laboratory reports as well as all quizzes, hour tests, and examinations. Reports of violations of the Honor Code are reviewed by the Student Honor Committee, which is responsible for determining the guilt or innocence of the accused, and for recommending appropriate punishment to the Dean. A committee of faculty members sits with the Student Honor Committee in an advisory capacity.
The Honor Committee joins me in requesting that all your syllabi include an explanation of how the Honor Code applies to all aspects of evaluated work in your course, especially if you assign collaborative projects of any kind. As in the case of attendance policy, making your expectations clear is very important. Many instructors have found it helpful to include a sentence like the following on their syllabi: "If you are uncertain how the Honor Code applies to your work in this course, please ask me." A memo from Susan Engel, Faculty Chair of the Honor Committee, explaining the Honor Code Guidelines may be found: http://web.williams.edu/admin/registrar//fall_da/HonorCodeGuidelinesFall.html
The Honor Committee has a web site with a wide variety of useful information about The Honor Code, procedures relating to it, definitions of plagiarism, and more. Information of special interest to faculty can be found at http://sites.williams.edu/honor-system/
A student may be permitted to withdraw once during the first year and once again during the upperclass years from a course (incurring a deficiency but no grade penalty) as late as the tenth week of the semester. A withdrawal, recorded on the transcript as a "W," is granted only with the approval of the instructor and a dean when it is determined that despite conscientious effort to do the work, continuation in the course would be detrimental to the overall educational interest or health of the student. A student may approach a faculty member for the purpose of discussing his/her interest in withdrawing from a course, or may be referred to the instructor by a dean. In any event, it is necessary for the student to discuss the prospect of the withdrawal with both the instructor and the dean before a decision is reached.
Due to the confidential subject matter of such cases, medical withdrawals from courses are managed slightly differently and do not require the instructor's approval. A dean may, at his or her discretion, and with a recommendation from a health care provider, withdraw a student from a course for medical reasons. The dean will inform the instructor. Medical withdrawals may be granted at any time during the semester.
Deadlines for course work are set by the instructor with the following limitations:
· For courses with final exams, the latest that written work may be due is 5:00 p.m. on the last day of reading period.
· For courses without final exams, the latest that written work may be due is 5:00 p.m. on the third-to-last day of the exam period.
· If work is due before these deadlines, the instructor may grant an extension up to these deadlines solely at his or her discretion. Short extensions beyond these deadlines may be granted by a dean but only with the concurrence of the instructor. Therefore, if a dean believes an extension for a course is appropriate, he or she will contact the instructor to discuss the matter and set the new deadline before granting the extension to the student.
· If students contact you directly requesting extensions beyond the last day of the reading period for courses with finals, or the third-to-last day of the exam period for courses without finals, you may either direct them to the dean's office if you would consider approving an extension, or else tell them not to bother since you will not approve any extensions.
Final exams may be given only in the period set aside for them at the end of the semester, and not during the semester itself or during the reading period. If you wish to have an exception to this rule, please contact me. Any other special arrangements for final exams, e.g., a final exam with both take-home and in-class components, also should be discussed with me in advance.
I would strongly discourage you from scheduling hour exams during the last week of classes. Exams in that week make it all the more difficult for students to comply with the faculty's deadlines for the submission of final papers.
Students with three or more consecutive final exams are considered to have a hardship. In such cases, on request of the student, the Dean's Office may ask the instructor to consider giving that student a make-up exam. We make such requests only after carefully considering the nature of the hardship for the student and for the instructor; and in no case will we ask for make-ups simply to permit an early departure or to accommodate a student's travel plans.
The grade of "incomplete" is approved by the Dean's Office only in cases of serious emergencies. In such cases, a dean, an instructor, and a student may agree to defer dates for papers and exams until a specified time after the end of the semester.
Faculty should work directly with the Dean's Office if a student is in academic difficulty at the end of the semester. Faculty members should not enter into private arrangements with students for completion of work at the end of the term. Those students frequently are having difficulty in other courses, and private arrangements in one course often works to the detriment of the student and the Committee on Academic Standing when it reviews records at the end of each semester.
By faculty vote, course grades must be submitted to the Registrar within four days after the final exam in a course, or, if there is no exam, within four days after the last day of classes or within four days after final written work was due, whichever is later. The reason for this tight schedule may not be obvious. At the end of every term, the Committee on Academic Standing meets to review the records of students in academic difficulty; it needs to have all their grades in order to decide whether students with deficient records will be required to resign or be placed on probation. The faculty comment sheets required for "D" and "E" grades are extremely helpful, and the CAS would like to remind faculty to fill these out as fully as possible. The Committee devotes part of the holiday vacation to this important work, which is sometimes hampered by missing grades or other missing information.
I appreciate the difficulty that some of you--particularly those with large courses or with professional meetings during the holidays--may face in meeting these deadlines. If you are in that situation, please let me know; it may be possible to ease some of the problems by getting grades only for the more critical cases.

Sold Out $23.99
2015 vintage is available for $24.99
Antinori Guado al Tasso Vermentino 2010
Other White Wine from Tuscany, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
This inviting wine is straw yellow in color with hints of green. The nose has a hint of cedar with notes of apricot and yellow peaches. On the palate, it is full and flavorful with a touch of minerality and a persistent finish.
Critical Acclaim
Wine & Spirits - "A relatively cool vintage at this coastal estate produced this clean, citrus and mineral-inflected white. It's creamy in the middle, like an oyster broth, bright in the end as it lasts on lemon pith and chalk. A mouthwatering wine for seppie stuffed with ricotta and herbs."
Antinori Winery
The Antinori family of Florence, one of the world's oldest and most distinguished wine producers, has lived in Tuscany since the 14th century and celebrated its 625th anniversary as wine makers in 2010. The current company president, Marchese Piero Antinori, believes in the tradition that the primary role of wine is to accompany food and enhance the dining experience. In Florence, the Antinori family has led a "Renaissance" in Italian wine making by combining long traditions, a love of authenticity and a dynamic innovative spirit. View all Antinori Wines
About TuscanyView a map of Tuscany wineries (TUSS-can-ee) Sangiovese. Most of the wine coming from Tuscany is made from some clone of this varietal, but a growing trend, started by the renegade winemakers of those Super Tuscans, is to incorporate more international varietals.
Notable FactsThe most well known sub-districts of Tuscany are Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (note that Montepulciano here refers to the local village, not the grape variety found in the Italian region of Abruzzi). Wine labeled from these regions is DOC-regulated and Sangiovese-based blends. Quality wine from these DOC areas has been on the rise for decades, with top-notch winemakers and wineries shedding the low-quality image once held for Tuscan wine by producing consistently outstanding bottlings that range from deliciously drinkable to highly ageable. Newer to the scene are regions like Bohlgeri and the Maremma, home to of what are now termed "Super-Tuscans," named for the wine coming from the Tuscany area, but not following all of the DOC or DOCG laws required in Italy. In the 1970's, some pioneer winemakers began buying land outside of Chianti and Montalcino, and planting not only Sangiovese, but also international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The wine they produced only fit into the lowest Italian category of "vina da tavola," but the winemakers sold the wine for high prices, creating an almost cult following, and spurning a new wine category called IGT.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

We intend to restart the online leagues at the beginning of April 2012
The Individual League has already made a start and we would encourage it to continue. Remember that it is "self-pairing" you can play anyone in your division as often as you like (although please try to play other people you haven't played recently if you have a choice). If you are on the Individual League and don't want to be or vice versa, please let me know - you can also subscribe or unsubscribe yourself by logging in and editing your own account.
We intend to draw for the team leagues at the beginning of April. The general consensus is that there should be two matches between each pair of teams, a notional "home" and "away" match and the draw will take this form.
Please could all teams who have not already done so (or have done so and it might look like I've forgotten or missed the message) confirm that they will play and finalise their teams no later than Tuesday 20th March. If I don't hear from teams by then I will assume that they are not playing and take them out of the league.
Division 4 is now too small to be sensible, so it will be merged with division 3. The new division 3 looks like being too large so I shall move some teams from there to division 2 and some from division 2 to division 1 to make the divisions of approximately equal size. I shall try to be fair, taking account of the strengths of the teams and their previous records.
Division 1 will now be the only division in which games are played without handicaps.
Please can people who have not done so pay the subscriptions, both for the team league and the individual league as soon as possible. We can now take subscriptions via Paypal. To do this you need to log in on the site and select the "Pay subscriptions" menu entry on the bottom left. Please note that there are surcharges for non-BGA members, but we may not have an up-to-date record of who is a BGA member, so please ask me before paying if the surcharge does not seem to be correct. (We hope to have accurate online records of payments available before the end of the year to eliminate any difficulties).
I'm sure that we all hope that the leagues continue to be a success.

Ok this is just some food for thought.
After looking at all the pictures of the neckseal pics in my cargo hold thread and Daz's here:
I was thinking, just purely because having made a few neckseals and this has been known to happen.
That maybe when the original neckseal was made it was made too small. And when it was fit on Jeremy, being that it comes up so high on the neck where it tends to be a bit tighter because of a mans adams apple. It ended up being to small on the high end close to his chin. Where this velcro is. Possible?
Yes I do believe so.
Anyhow If you look at the pictures the neckseal laps itself at the bottom and at the top where this velcro was later added after the construction of the neckseal. It barely meets up with itself.
I just felt that maybe it was a greater possibility that this was the case and why it looks the way it does.
They were thinking, "Well instead of making a new one, here just stick this velcro here Voila!"
But... if this is how you choose to have it done I will gladly do so.
Just a seamstresses opinion about the matter after thinking about it for the last two days. Or should I say my interpretation of the accurate neckseal and why it looks the way it does.
PS I think the same can be said for the odd shaped pouches, Maybe one set was made a certain shape and another set was a more rectangular shape and the sets got mixed up.
Hey I know I think too much!

April Fool's spoof at the Tower of London - Friday, 1 April 2011
The Royal Armouries Museum safeguards this unprepossessing scrap of paper in the archives at the Tower of London – promoting one of the more unusual April Fools' Day stunts in British history.
The scrap is a printed ticket inviting the unsuspecting Victorian public to a rather surprising spectacle – the Annual Washing of the Lions ceremony in the Tower's moat. Visitors are invited to arrive at the Tower by the White Gate, and are admonished to not give gratuities to any of the wardens on duty. The ticket bears the signature of one official-sounding senior warden – Herbert de Grassen.
Royal Armouries' librarian Stuart Ivinson said, "All in all, it sounds as if an entertaining day is promised – but there is one problem and the date printed on the ticket, April 1, 1856, gives us a clue. The ticket is an elaborate hoax – an April Fools' joke from times gone by. Who says the Victorians had no sense of humour?
"As far as we know there wasn't a senior Warden by the name of de Grassen, or an entrance to the Tower known as the White Gate. What we don't know is how successful an April Fools' joke this was, but bearing in mind the Royal Menagerie within the Tower ceased to exist in 1835, anyone who was taken in by it probably deserved it!"
The Royal Menagerie – which featured a variety of animals including lions, monkeys and even an elephant in medieval times – is just one of the featured institutions featured in the Royal Armouries' new permanent exhibition opening at the iconic White Tower on Saturday (April 2) – Power House.
The exhibition – featuring a mighty bejewelled dragon – puts the spotlight on the great institutions of state, who operated from behind the mighty Tower of London's walls from 1100 to the present day.
They include the Ordnance Office, Ordinance Survey, the Royal Mint, Record Office, the Jewel House, Menagerie and Royal Observatory. The exhibition will also focus on other Tower of London functions, ranging from royal residence to state prison.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Jimmy Gaudreau
In the '60s, Gaudreau was just another teenager trying to learn to play rock guitar. When he became interested in the mandolin, he continued to play with many of the same fingering techniques as he had learned on the guitar. He was never particularly interested in learning the so-called "right" way of doing anything on the instrument, let alone following the course of many budding bluegrass novices and begin memorizing by rote all the standard moves of players such as Bill Monroe and Jethro Burns. An individual and unique stylist from his very first appearances with the Country Gentlemen in the late '60s, Gaudreau is in fact credited with inventing the humorous concept of "the bluegrass police." This term is a derisive description of listeners who think everything can only be done a certain way, whatever they happen to think that is.
Gaudreau's allegiance to his own heart and mind has won him a proud place in some fantastic bluegrass outfits over more than three decades of picking. He has also become an advocate for electric mandolin, to no one's surprise considering his generation and outlook, and has also performed on the modern five-string version of that instrument. He joined the Country Gentlemen in 1969 and although it was early in his career, it was a move that attracted quite a bit of attention to him as he was replacing the well-loved mandolinist John Duffey. This group, under the leadership of Charlie Waller, continued to perform in early 2000, and since 1981 Gaudreau has rejoined as mandolinist off and on.
His activities in between these two stints with that band include alliances with bands that have made bluegrass history. For 11 years, he was a member of the Tony Rice Unit, recording several superb albums. Another progressive bluegrass outfit that was just as much well-loved was J.D. Crowe & the New South, bringing him together with the late, much missed, and influential bluegrass and country singer Keith Whitley, as well as with hot pickers Bobby Slone and Steve Bryant. One of the best recordings of this group in action was entitled Live in Japan and was released in 1982 on the Rounder label. From 1979 through 1981, Gaudreau was a member of Spectrum with banjoist Béla Fleck, bassist Mark Schatz, and other players. With a name more like a fusion jazz group than a bluegrass band, this group's music was enough to make the bluegrass police call the real police. Throughout he kept up collaborations with more traditional players, such as the First Generation project, which brought him together with hardball banjo picker Don Stover.
The '90s continued as a time of new formations, sometimes involving old faces. A trio featuring Dobro player Mike Auldridge, bassist T. Michael Coleman, and guitarist Larry "Moondi" Klein called itself Chesapeake but was a much more casual, on-and-off-again type of band until the mandolinist was brought in as a fourth member. The ensuing sparks led to a dynamic career for this ensemble, which stole the show at many bluegrass festivals. Out of the Chesapeake experience came a co-operative trio with Auldridge, Gaudreau, and guitarist Richard Bennett. This trio didn't bother with a name at all other than the players simply using their own. This group released two CDs, including Blue Lonesome Wind, a 2001 release on the Rebel label. (Mike Auldridge died in late December 2012 at age 73 after a decade-long battle with cancer.) In 1994, Gaudreau put on a producer's hat to create Young Mando Monsters, a get-together involving four ambitious, feisty pickers, including Ronnie McCoury and Alan Bibey. In terms of recordings, there is no shortage of material by any of the various bands this player has been part of, but one album that is often picked as his most accomplished is entitled The Mandolin Album and was released on Puritan Records. ~ Eugene Chadbourne

Reviews of this property
We really enjoyed our stay in this flat during our Paris break. Denis is a very friendly and helpful host, and the whole process of making the initial arrangements, arrival/departure, damage deposit, etc. was really straightforward. This is a genuine, lived-in Parisian apartment in an interesting part of town and not some sterile property run by a tourist agency. It was nice to have the comfortable lounge (TV channels in many languages and useful tourist/transport information on the coffee table) and a spacious kitchen. The beds were very comfortable. Great location close to the metro/RER station and a wide range of shops and restaurants close by for both self-catering and eating out. For me, staying in the flat added to the experience of being in Paris. Highly recommended.
Denis' apartment is near perfect (an extreme statement perhaps, but I'm still wracking my brain to find something I'd change)!
It's location couldn't be better - within 5 minutes walk from a major Metro station, with nearby restaurants, food & vegie shops, bakeries and a twice-weekly street market opposite. It's even within (longish) walking distance from the Bois de Vincennes (so you can easily escape the city activity, if you need). Altho on a busy square (thus providing a fascinating window onto daily life), it's also very quiet inside (easy to sleep).
The flat itself is on the first floor (with a lift). Immediately we entered, we realized we were in a charming home (not some formulaic space furnished with Scandinavian kit furniture). The rooms are ample to large, the kitchen particularly charming. The flat is fully equipped, including with thoughtful advice and guidance about getting the best from the district. It is unreservedly recommended.
Very nice, big and clean flat. Good neighbourhood and very close to metrostation Nation. We had a wonderful time! Tank you!
We had a very good time in this apartment in Paris. The apartment is very beautiful and the view is nice. The apartment is situated in a very good place near metro, RER and lots of shops. We had an opportunity to live few days in a parisian way. Denis is best host you can imagine. Everything worked well and was perfect.
Denis's apartment is beautiful and fully equipped. It is located near a very important Metro station which connects with almost every place in Paris.
Denis is an extremely kind host and supplies all kind of help and information.
In short, this is an option to recommend to your best friend.
Very nice apartment, perfectly situated for any excursion in and about Paris! We had a very nice week there, and everything was well arranged from the landlord Denis with maps and useful, practical information about how to get around etc. I can hihgly recommend this apartment to others.
The accommodation was wonderful. right near the metro Nation that offers multiple lines to many parts of Paris. The apartment is very comfortable and the owner, Dennis, very helpful and provided everything we needed, giving us tips on places to eat, shop and supermarket. There are many options trading very close like supermarkets, restaurants, department store, electronics store, bakery and much more!.
A perfect place to stay. Surely when I return to Paris I will be there.
Dennis, thanks for the great stay. My friends and I loved it!

Primes offer poetry both subject matter and structure
Sarah Glaz
Prime numbers have applications in computational fields, including cryptography and statistics, as well as in many scientific domains, such as engineering and physics. They also offer what Richard Crandall and Carl B. Pomerance call, in their 2005 book Prime Numbers: A Computational Perspective, "cultural connections." These cultural connections manifest themselves in poetry in a variety of ways.
The concept of primality is employed in poems as a metaphor for the intoxicating mysteries of life and human behavior. An example of this phenomenon is found in "Prime Numbers," by Jim Mele.
Prime Numbers
Prime numbers,
I remember them
like drinks
following complicated folk laws.
Out in California
a friend visits a pebble
beach, indivisible
in this uncertain life.
—Jim Mele
The depth of the cultural connection between primes and poetry becomes more apparent when we examine the inclusion of specific prime numbers in poems. The affinity between numbers and words has roots in the invention of alphabetic writing by the Phoenicians in the 2nd millennium BCE, When numbers came to be denoted by letters of the alphabet. In ancient poetry, especially in the domain of magic, mysticism and divination, every word acquired the number value of the sum of its letters and every number attained the symbolic values of one or more words in whose spelling it appeared. Historian of mathematics David Eugene Smith notes that 3 and 7 "were chief among mystic numbers in all times and among all people." This, he proposes, is because "3 and 7 are the first prime numbers—odd, unfactorable, unconnected with any common radix, possessed of various peculiar properties." In other words, 3 and 7 acquired a special importance precisely because of their primality. Vestiges of such significance, combined with layers of cultural, sociological and historical meaning, allow prime numbers to evoke powerful images and emotions, both personal and collective. Poems featuring the prime number 7 exemplify this effect. Perhaps most notably, 7 appears in key religious texts. It shows up in the first poem of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, as well as in the New Testament, the Koran, and others. Seven also appears in the Epic of Gilgamesh—one of the earliest known works of literature, dated around 2,000 BCE. The contemporary poems "Reasons for Numbers," by Lisel Mueller, and "How I Won the Raffle," by Dannie Abse, reflect the layers of history and mystery that the number 7 carried with it into the present; both are excerpted below:
Because luck
is always odd
and the division
of history
into lean and fat years
—Liesel Mueller, from "Reasons for Numbers"
I chose 7 because those ten men used to dance
around the new grave seven times.
Also because of the pyramids of Egypt;
the hanging gardens of Babylon;
Diana's Temple at Ephesus;
the great statue of Zeus at Athens;
the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus;
the Colossus of Rhodes;
and the lighthouse of Alexandria.
—Dannie Abse, from "How I Won the Raffle"
An even earlier poem features 7 as a lucky number. Langston Hughes's "Addition [1]" employs the form of a math problem to comment on the addition of "love" to "luck."
Lewis Carroll's classic poem, The Hunting of the Snark, mentions 7 in company of other numbers for an amusing mathematical effect. Do the math!
"Taking Three as the subject to reason about—
A convenient number to state—
We add Seven, and Ten, and then multiply out
By One Thousand diminished by Eight.
"The result we proceed to divide, as you see,
By Nine Hundred and Ninety and Two:
Then subtract Seventeen, and the answer must be
Exactly and perfectly true.
—Lewis Carroll, from The Hunting of the Snark
Poems rarely call on prime numbers for their visual appeal. A notable exception is William Carlos Williams's imagist poem, "The Great Figure."
The Great Figure
Among the rain
and lights
I saw the figure 5
in gold
on a red
to gong clangs
siren howls
and wheels rumbling
through the dark city.
—Williams Carlos Williams
Williams's poem makes clear the aesthetic quality of the figure 5 he describes. American artist Charles Demuth's painting I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold was inspired by it. A series of multimedia works based on the poem are available at the website Poems that Go (poemsthatgo.com).
More often, numbers contribute to the structure of a poem. Poetry's musicality depends not only on words but also on quantifiable structural elements, and formal poetry relies on counting: metrical feet, rhyme words, line length, number of lines in a stanza, number of stanzas in the poem and more. A certain amount of mathematical calculation, either formal or intuitive, is involved in free verse as well. And some nontraditional poetic structures and procedures rely explicitly on the mathematical properties of prime numbers.
One such technique employs the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic. To construct a poem using this theorem, you decide on the length of the poem and then number the poem's lines consecutively from bottom to top, starting at 2. Then choose a word that stands for multiplication and a word that stands for exponentiation. The next step is to write the lines marked by prime numbers. Each line numbered with a prime is a building block of the other lines, much like the prime numbers build the positive integers. The first poem written with this structure was Carl Andre's poem "On the Sadness." My poem, "13 January 2009," was also made using this approach. The form does not require the writer to note the mathematics that undergirds it, but in this instance the notation is part of the poem.
13 January 2009
12=22x3 Anuk is dying for Anuk is dying in the
white of winter
11 The coldest month
10=2x5 Anuk is dying in the falling snow
9=32 The white of winter for Anuk is dying
8=23 Anuk is dying for the white of winter
7 The drift of time
6=2x3 Anuk is dying in the white of winter
5 The falling snow
4=22 Anuk is dying for Anuk is dying
3 The white of winter
2 Anuk is dying
1 .
—Sarah Glaz
Here the word in stands for multiplication, and the word for stands for exponentiation. The poem is generated from the prime numbered lines—2, 3, 5, 7, and 11, which are written first—as follows: Factor each nonprime line number into a product of powers of distinct primes. For example, 12 = 22 x 3. The primes appearing in the number 12, arranged in increasing order, are 2 and 3. Line 2 is: Anuk is dying, and line 3 is: The white of winter. To construct line 12, replace the number 2 with line 2, the number 3 with line 3, multiplication with in and exponentiation with for. This makes line 12: Anuk is dying for Anuk is dying in the white of winter. The same procedure is used to generate each line of the poem. When the poem is read aloud, the echo created by the repetition of prime-numbered lines evokes an elegiac mood.
Another method involves the aesthetic manipulation of very large primes. Jason Earls's concrete prime poem, "Lighght Prime" (shown above) is based on Aram Saroyan's poem, "Lighght." (The history of this poem, which engendered considerable controversy when it was first published, is worth looking up.)
Earls used zeroes and ones to create a visual representation of the poem. The word "lighght" appears in the interior of a rectangular array of digits, all of which are 0s and 1s. Taking the digits of this rectangular array and placing them in the same order on a straight line creates a long number. Multiplying this number by 101280, and then subtracting 1, yields a very large prime number. Verifying that this number is indeed prime involves the use of a computer program. Earls's book, The Lowbrow Experimental Mathematician, includes additional information on this poetic form and more concrete prime poems.
Yet another technique for constructing poems involves the prime number 7. This method, called the n + 7 algorithm, was invented by the Oulipian poet Jean Lescure. The literary movement known as Oulipo—Ouvroir de Litterature Potentielle (Workshop of Potential Literature)—was founded by Raymond Queneau in 1960. Its members invented constraints that generate literature; many of these constraints are mathematical. The n + 7 algorithm replaces each noun in a given poem with the seventh noun that follows in a specified dictionary. Mathematically, the procedure is a function on the set of nouns—one that "translates" each noun by 7 units. The results are often amusing. Computer programs make it easy to run this algorithm on longer texts, and to do so using numbers other than 7. You can try out the procedure using a dictionary or at www.spoonbill.org/n+7/.
Whether they are invoked as lucky numbers, employed as generative constraints, or just lauded in all their unruliness, primes in poetry lend both elegance and unpredictability. This dual nature—both exemplar and irritant—is familiar to poetry lovers. "Stay non-conformist, nuisance," Spalding urges the primes. It's a directive that the best poems often follow as well.
