If you saw my last post, you know that I'm sharing my experiences at the writers workshops I've attended over the past year. One of the many, many reasons that I love attending workshops is that I meet amazing writers who are also terrific people.
Jane Ward is one such writer/friend. I'm proud to say she is a front-row-seat-convert thanks to me. She has invited me to participate in a blog tour called the My Writing Process Blog Tour. I'm honored that she considered me worthy. Smooches Jane! You can read her writing process story here.
First, I'll tell you a little bit about my talented friend. Jane Ward is the author of Hunger and the New York Book Festival award-winning novel The Mosaic Artist. Yes, she rocks. She is currently at work on her third novel, The Welcome Home. A former baker and caterer, Jane now cooks on video for allfood.com, a recipe database cited on several online newspapers, and also regularly contributes articles to them. Her blog, Food and Fiction, is equal parts food memoir, cooking and baking discussion, and collection of food industry profiles and trends. (Jane's friend Carla Panciera invited her to join the blog tour and you can find her entry here.)
Below I have answered the few questions required by the blog tour. By reading on, you'll get to know a little bit more about what I do (and sometimes what I don't do.)
1. What are you working on?
I spent the "Summer of Ellen," as I affectionately call it, attending several writing workshops and not doing a ton of actual writing, just learning about writing.
The pieces I workshopped were:
– A 100-page excerpt from my novel in progress called The Alligator Purse. It's a family saga, with a political backdrop, lots of secrets, and a fabulous purse.
– "In the Dust of Elephants" is a short story about a Somali man whose daughter is gravely ill. He participates in a hunt to get ivory dust from the tusk of an elephant because he believes it will cure his daughter.
– "The Dust in His Pocket" is a short story focused on a pre-teen boy who can't find his grandfather. His only clue is a broken hourglass that contains dirt from all the places his grandfather has travelled.
And, yes, I seem to have an affinity for all things dust right now. I considered calling my novel The Dust in the Alligator Purse, but somehow that seemed a tad too much.
2. How does your work differ from others of its genre?
Uhm, it's not finished or published. Oh, besides that. Ah.
I think the fact that a woman is writing about a presidential run is a little unusual. Also, that the book has a strong political backdrop but the story isn't about politics. It's about mother-daughter relationships and the cycles–good and bad–that are repeated in families. And it's about holding other people to higher standards than we hold ourselves–and how that can absolutely ruin us.
Also, an American woman writing from the voice of a Somali man–probably not a current trend in most literary works.
3. Why do you write what you do?
I'm writing this novel because I won a contest. The prize was a consultation of the first 10 pages of a novel with a literary agent named Rachelle Gardner. I kind-of, sort-of raced off a smart-arse haiku and, holy crap, I won. Which would have been so fabulous if I actually had 10 pages written. Ahem. (Please don't ask me WHY I entered the contest–that is still a mystery to even me.)
Getting 10 pages written was my obsession but I had no idea what to write about. None.What.So.Ever. That is, until I heard a story on the radio about a woman who had her purse stolen. She chased the thief down to get her purse back. And I thought, "what the hell was in that purse?" Angels sang, glitter spewed, and The Alligator Purse was born.
"In the Dust of Elephants" was inspired by another contest about hunger in the natural world. I didn't want to have my characters hunger for food, so I needed something else, something more dire. My family spent some time living in India. While there, two of my children got sick with unidentifiable illnesses. Thankfully they were both fine but it was a scary time and I knew I would do anything I could to help them get well. I wanted to write a story in a foreign setting and Somalia seemed to make perfect sense because I needed an elephant to wander through the story.
"The Dust in His Pocket" is really a tribute my grandfather. The grandfather in the story is not at all who my grandfather was, but the special relationship he has with his grandson mimics our relationship.
4. How does your writing process work?
Process. Hmmmmm, that sounds like a bad word. Can you tell I don't really have a process? Ergh.
A lot of my story ideas/inspiration used to come from contests. The creative world is often too immense for me to come up with my own ideas. I'm a Pisces afterall and if I hold on too tightly to one idea, I fear losing all the others. Although, I am getting much better about it. Many of my earlier story ideas came from someone else saying "what about this" and me answering back, "Yea, but no, not that exactly. What about this instead?"
To keep the writing process blog chain going, here are some other writers you should know, and who will (I hope) let you know a bit more about themselves.
Virginia Pye – River of Dust
I met the talented Virginia Pye at a James Rivers Writers Workshop taught by Nancy Zafris. River of Dust is a fabulous story set in Northwest China in 1910 and chronicles the lives of a missionary couple whose young son, Wesley, is kidnapped by nomads right before their eyes. During our workshop lunch, I squeezed myself in between them and soaked in every single word they said. I may have accidentally, on-purpose rubbed against them both in hopes of some of their tremendous talent falling off of them and onto me.
M.M. Fink – Forget We Met
I also met M.M. at the James Rivers Writers Conference. (Yes, it's a good conference. You should go. Find out about it here.) She is beautiful and asked a lot of smart questions and is super talented. At first, I didn't think I could like her that much because, well, did you read the last sentence? But she is so talented and so kind that you can't help but like her a lot. Her first novel is Forget We Met is the story of a young woman who comes home to the Louisiana playhouse in which she was raised to claim her future in the theatre and the man she's always loved, but ends up discovering lifelong betrayals, the father she never knew, and herself. She has an agent for it and the book should be coming out in the not so distant future. (Fun fact – she let her readers pick the title. For reals.) Her second novel is called Canary Falls and I think she just finished writing it.
And finally, I'd like you to meet
Tara Lindis-Corbell
She is an emerging writer (like me) who I met at the One Story Workshop in NYC. There are a couple of reasons I'd like you to meet her. She's talented. She's funny as hell. And it's about time she updated her blog with a new post. (You're welcome Tara.) She also inspired me. She has two young children and she still gets up every.single.morning.before.they.do and writes. She said she does that because she's grumpy if she doesn't. Amen sister. Tara is working on a novel that deals with family dynamics, the trickle down effect of environmental shifts on our every day lives, and a missing cat. She also has a funny story about a voodoo doll on a bicycle. If she doesn't tell that story, I will be forced to tell it for her. It's hysterical. Fun fact – it's a true story.
That's it for now. Happy reading and writing!

Another special edition frame from the guys at Pake (they said this will be even more limited than the green or gold). The purple is really rich with a perfect amount of sparkle in the sun. This is a frame that will still look great in 10-15 years (there may be some skeptics about purple 'round here, but this is a classy purple that is very timeless). It is specced with the the lugged crown Tange track fork. Frame uses cold-drawn Tange tubing for an improved ride quality over some of the other frames in this category. Combined with the spot-on geometry, this builds up to be a great track ride. Fork is 1" threadless, 38mm rake. We got 'em on the store.

Letter Printed in the 9/12/06 Tomahawk Leader:
To the Editor:
This September, I will join 10,000 cancer advocates on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., for the American Cancer Society Action Network's "Celebration on the Hill," asking federal lawmakers to make cancer a national policy priority.
The effort started on Aug. 3 when a group of us met with Doug Hill from Cong. Dave Obey's office in Wausau, to ask that Cong. Obey join the fight against cancer and sign the Congressional Cancer Promise – recommitting the federal government to its goal of eliminating death and suffering from cancer by 2015.
The timing of this effort has never been more critical. After historic reports of first-time drops in cancer deaths, the White House and Congress have begun freezing or reducing the budgets of the National Institutes of Health, the National Cancer Institute, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. These cuts undermine families struggling with cancer and threaten to reverse field in a war we're just starting to win.
If made, these cuts will put the squeeze on efforts to get uninsured and underinsured women critical examinations that can detect breast and cervical cancer at their earliest and most curable stages. Other cancer patients depend on research for progress and the hope of survival. These cuts are shortsighted and I hope we can count on Cong. Obey to support the fight against cancer.
Scott Doerr

80Peirce needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 120 designs submitted by 33 freelance designers.
Slumdata is a project to collect data from the urban poor using mobile phones. The data will be used to design better products and services to meet the needs of the millions of slum dwellers pouring into large developing world cities. Our pilot project will be in Nairobi, Kenya.
The project is focused on creating a better understanding and better information about the world's urban poor. Data we take for granted in rich countries, like weekly income, access to resources, consumption patterns, and other preferences. In the developing world, low income citizens are largely ignored in traditional data collection methods. Slum dwellers provide unique challenges due to their high density, high mobility, and diverse origins.
Main customer: microfinance & non-profit organizations serving the poor
Microfinance organizations provide small loans to the poor. They vary in size from a handful of employees in a single location to large global companies. They will likely interact with the Slumdata brand online.
I prefer a typeface logo with limited lines or graphic elements.
-Color = royal blue- 0000cc or 0000ff (similar to the tarps seen in the attached document)
-lowercase (depending on font)
-Font: possibly a bit "messy" or "distressed" but still legible (see examples in attached documents)
It would be OK if "slum" is stacked on top of "data". I have attached some slum images for inspiration. I plan to update my website (slumdata.com) to be dark brown in the background (see example in attached), so that the royal blue will stand out.

Judy, thanks so much for info! I enjoyed your article in QA and have wanted to try the RIT dyes but I've been a die-hard Procion person...now I will experiement! Thanks again!ReplyDelete
Judy -ReplyDelete
thanks for posting the recipes! I too use procion dyes, but will definitely try the RIT dyes thanks to you and your article in QA and these recipes!!!!
<3 judi
hummmmmmm.......I can see RIT dyes will be on our list for sure!ReplyDelete
Loved the article. Due to finances (not recession related) I have not been able to take Quilt/Art Classes so I learn by reading everything I can find - The Rit Dye article was a God send. I have two questions - Couldn't you set the dye with vinegar after washing and what is the best cotton batting to use. I can only find 80/20 in my area. Is 100% cotton batting necessary. Once again Thanks. (first time on a blog)ReplyDelete
Thanks Verlon54, I am glad you found the information helpful. I do not know about the vinegar but it makes sense.ReplyDelete
I used warm and white for all my dyeing. The 80/20 will work but the colors may be a little less saturated, since the 20% that is polyester will not dye but the 80% that's cotton will.
Fantastic! What a treasure! I've scheduled a link to this post to go live on my blog Monday morning (Central USA time), December 22. I hope it brings you a few extra clicks.ReplyDelete
You have fascinating blogs! Thanks for visiting mine, lucky me.
These are great. I am mixing dyes for the first time to make a shower curtain and these helped alot!!!

WOOOOOOHOOOOOO! I needed to match some Tie Bleached Black clothing. They are a tiger orange. Looks like your Punk'n Spice blend will do NICELY. I am sending your URL to ALLLLL SORTS of maker like people who are in to costuming. I hope they get LOTS of mileage from your posting.ReplyDelete
My tie bleach work
Thanks! Coreyfro
I thought it might tickle you to know, all these months later, that I am happily RIT-dyeing at home in the dead of winter with all the windows closed tight, and in the company of my kid, without a mask on -- thanks to that Quilting Arts article you did! The recipes are fabulous, thanks so much for posting even more recipes here. When the warm weather returns I'll be happy to venture back outdoors with my fiber reactive dyes but this is a very satisfying alternative.ReplyDelete
Relentless, thanks so much for sharing that with me, I am thrilled that you are having such a great time with Rit!ReplyDelete
I found your site while looking for a Rit dye chart. I am a middle 50's guy who dyes nylon twine to make knotted rosaries. I am going to try your bronze and will eventually try more. Does anyone know if you can use the same measurements for the powder and the liquid Rit dyes? I'm assuming you can.
Thanks for the new color ideas!!
Hi Brian,ReplyDelete
the liquid dye is more concentrated than the powder. Because you are dyeing twine instead of fabric you will probably not need much dye to get pretty deep color and may need to experiment a little with the ratio of water to dye for intensity. You can also find a lot of color recipes on the Rit website now. www.ritdye.com
I've been using 3 quart canning jars, heating them in a pan on the stove and eyeballing for the most part the amount of dye I put in. For the most part it's been working out. I added another cup of water to your bronze recipe and probably could put in another cup. I usually loop the twine around my arm and then fold that loop in half and put half of that in the dye and let the dye 'wick' it's way up the twine. Whatever part remains white I turn around a put in the dye just long enough to get a third shade of color. It works real neat with gold , but I couldn't find the gold recipe, that's how I found this site. I know it's golden yellow and tan, but I forget the amounts (my wife suggested I add just a smidge of dark green to that recipe). When that wicks up the twine it gives the twine almost a wood color look.ReplyDelete
Thanks again for your advice.
Your welcome Brian, instead of boiling cans on the stove, you can just add boiling water to the dye and mix it in the cans. The temperature of the boiling water is enough to heat set the dye.ReplyDelete
Those are great colors, it's unusual. This is my first visit to your blog, and I love your posts here. Thanks for sharing this color combination. ~JennyReplyDelete

make color amber with rit dyeReplyDelete
Thank you so much for all the work you've put into dyeing with Rit dyes. It is so much easier for me to use this dye than the complicated cold water dyes I was using. It's especially nice for over-dyeing a small amount of fabric when I'm in a hurry. You are amazing!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 2, 2014 at 7:40 PM
These only make one cup of dye? So if I need two quarts to get all my fabric in, I would have to multiply the amounts by eight?ReplyDeleteReplies
hi tonboko, these recipes were to dye a fat quarter of fabric in a low immersion dye method so the fabric is mottled. The way RIT dye works is more about the weight of the fabric than the amount of water, so if you were to dye a yard of fabric this way, you would multiply it by 4, if you have two yards you would increase it 8 times. If you want the dye colors to be even all over the fabric, increase the water and use a larger container and agitate the fabric continuously in the dye bath.Delete
I am wanting to dye something a dark hot pink I was wondering what you feel would make a good starting point for experimentation?ReplyDelete

Wild n' out.
When speed is on the menu, low-profile knobs are essential to prevent energy loss. This often comes as a sacrifice in the traction department. But, with the Michelin Wild Race'r 29in Tire, intelligent knob construction reduces that negative impact.
To start with, this tubeless twenty-niner tire's hollow, diamond-shaped blocks alternate between being bridged together and being solo. This happens along the center tread zone, and it helps to reduce flex under acceleration and braking. Additionally, it enables a conforming level of flex when needed. Meanwhile, the bridging ties into the side transition blocks.
This gives the tire consistent traction during turn-in, and it ramps up as lean angle is increased. The enhanced traction is from more aggressive knobs, with additional siping. Along the Wild Race'r Tire's outer-edge, reinforced triangles dig in to loose soil for confidence inspiring handling.
The Michelin Wild Race'r 29in Tire has a folding UST Aramid bead and is available in either a 2.1 or 2.25-inch width. Please note that this tire is sold individually, and that it does not include either tire sealant or rim tape.

Fast Tire w/ Decent Grip
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is a really fast rolling tire that offers pretty decent grip once you get your air pressure set just right. It is not as light or fast rolling as something like the Maxxis Aspen but still holds its own very well. Sets up tubeless very easily as well.
Does this product come with a rim
do I have to run them tubeless? we have...
do I have to run them tubeless? we have a lot of goat heads that I am constantly pulling them out of my tires, I run slime in my other tubes, it works well for all the thorns. Help, what do I want?
It will not be a problem to run tubes with this tire. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. firstname.lastname@example.com
I've been running these tubeless for 2 seasons they work great. Nice beefy sidewall puts up with Colorado rocks. Also I like that they are a little bigger volume softens things up on a HT.

Am I Molten or Not?
Only then did we realise that we don't have any bitter chocolate left in the house, so we used Manjari 64% Madagascar Plantation ("Rich, dark chocolate with a raspberry finish") from Edinburgh-based Coco Chocolate instead (yet another chocolatey farewell present I had got back in October). As you can see from the picture below, we left the cake in the oven for a minute too long, so it's not as molten as it should be. But we will be trying this recipe again soon, with a darker chocolate. And then, on one beautiful day, we'll try Nigella's chocoholic's dream, too..
Molten Chocolate Cake
Source: Food Migration
170 grams bittersweet chocolate
150 grams butter
160 grams sugar
75 g plain flour
4 eggs
Butter and sugar (or maybe sprinkle with cocoa instead, as per David's suggestions?) the insides of six small ramekins or pudding molds. Place on baking tray.
Melt chocolate and butter in a small saucepan.
Beat eggs and sugar together. Add the melted chocolate and butter mixture. Continue to beat for another five minutes.
Add flour, beat for two more minutes.
Pour mixture into prepared ramekins.
Bake in a 180 C oven approximately 8-10 minutes - NO MORE.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm. A good and slightly melted vanilla ice cream is a good accompaniment.
PS Shaun of Winter Skies, Kitchen Aglow has tried Nigella's molten chocolate babycakes - check out his post.

Pille - I, too, have used this recipe and blogged on it. I have a particular friend for whom I must make this almost every time I visit him and his wife. I, too, have left it a minute longer in the oven before, but at least it doesn't ruin the chololateness! Though you said you would try the recipe again with a darker chocolate, how did the chocolate you used taste in this recipe? Was the raspberry quite noticeable? I love your blog, by the way.

Hi Pille,
Sorry i haven't visited in a long while - i have missed quite a lot!
I've always wanted to try and bake a Molten Chocolate cake but never got round to doing it. Just forgot, i guess. Thanks for the reminder.

I must have 3 or 4 recipes for molten chocolate cake; why haven't I made one yet?? After seeing yours, I've been inspired. It looks wonderful! Thanks so much. :)

I am like Susan, I have a few recipes for this cake too as I am in love with it, all the way. I have to try this recipe too!

Pille - I left a response to your message re: my molten cakes on my blog but thought to contact you here in the event you do not find your way back to my blog for a while. I wholeheartedly recommend the Nigella recipe; it works every time if you keep an eye on the clock. The chocolate babycake is moist and rich and lives up to expectations. I have thought of playing with this recipe - perhaps a Mexican twist next time with cocoa and chillis, or a Syrian twist with pomegranate molasses and almonds?

- Pille said...
Shaun - thanks!! Both of your suggested twists - Mexican and Syrian - sound wonderful! And I'll surely try Nigella's version soon, too. Re: the Manjari 64% - it gave a nice chocolate flavour, but we both felt that a darker choc would probably be even nicer. And re: the raspberry finish - couldn't really taste it. Oh well...
Mae - you're welcome!
Susan - I've bookmarked few other molten chocolate cake recipes, but this was the first one we tried. We'll hopefully be going through the list soon..
Bea - I know, yours is one of the recipes I've got bookmarked:-)

Section 2.3.3 shows us several ways to represent sets in Scheme, starting with unordered sets. To start, we define what a 'set' is by specifying the operations that are to be used on sets. These are:
element-of-set?- a predicate function that determines whether a given element is a member of a set.
adjoin-set- takes an object and a set as arguments and returns the set that contains the elements of the original set and the adjoined object.
intersection-set- computes the intersection of two sets, which is the set containing only elements that appear in both arguments.
union-set- computes the union of two sets, which is the set containing each element that appears in either argument.
We represent a set as an unordered list by making sure no element appears more than once. The text provides the following implementations for representing sets as unordered lists.
(define (element-of-set? x set) (cond ((null? set) false) ((equal? x (car set)) true) (else (element-of-set? x (cdr set))))) (define (adjoin-set x set) (if (element-of-set? x set) set (cons x set))) (define (intersection-set set1 set2) (cond ((or (null? set1) (null? set2)) '()) ((element-of-set? (car set1) set2) (cons (car set1) (intersection-set (cdr set1) set2))) (else (intersection-set (cdr set1) set2))))
We can define a few lists to test and see how these procedures work together.
> (define odds '(1 3 5 7)) > (define evens '(2 4 6 8)) > (define primes '(2 3 5 7)) > (element-of-set? 5 odds) #t > (element-of-set? 5 evens) #f > odds (1 3 5 7) > (adjoin-set 9 odds) (9 1 3 5 7) > (intersection-set odds evens) () > (intersection-set odds primes) (3 5 7) > (intersection-set evens primes) (2)
Exercise 2.59 asks us to implement the
union-set operation for the unordered-list representation of sets.
(define (union-set set1 set2) (cond ((null? set1) set2) ((null? set2) set1) ((element-of-set? (car set1) set2) (union-set (cdr set1) set2)) (else (cons (car set1) (union-set (cdr set1) set2)))))
This implementation starts by checking to see if either set is null. If so, the other set is returned immediately. The procedure then checks to see if the first element of
set1 is an element of
set2. If so, that element is discarded from the first set, and the union of the remaining elements of
set1 and
set2 are returned. If the first element of
set1 is not an element of
set2, it is included in the list returned by the procedure.
> (union-set odds evens) (1 3 5 7 2 4 6 8) > (union-set odds primes) (1 2 3 5 7) > (union-set evens primes) (4 6 8 2 3 5 7)
Exercise 2.60 asks us what would need to change in the implementations above if we redefine 'set' to allow duplicate elements. For example, the set {1, 2, 3} could be represented as the list (2 3 2 1 3 2 2). We need to compare the efficiency of each of the new procedures with their original (non-duplicate) implementations. The exercise also asks if there are applications where the new representation would be preferred over the original.
The implementation of
element-of-set? doesn't need to change. It returns
#t when it finds an element that matches the input element, otherwise it returns
The implementation of
adjoin-set is simplified by the new definition. Since we no longer need to check to see if the input element already exists in the set, we can just
cons the element to the existing set.
(define (adjoin-set x set) (cons x set))
union-set is also simplified by allowing duplicate elements.
(define (union-set set1 set2) (append set1 set2))
We have an interesting choice when it comes to
intersection-set. The intersection of two sets under the original (non-duplicate) definition doesn't seem like it requires any change in implementation since duplicates are now allowed, not necessarily required. However, look what happens when you execute
intersection-set with duplicate elements in the first set vs. the second set.
> (define primes '(2 3 5 7)) > (define twos '(2 2 2)) > (intersection-set primes twos) (2) > (intersection-set twos primes) (2 2 2)
The result is different depending on which set has duplicate elements. This is because the original implementation checks each element of the first set independently to see if they're present in the second set. When the first set contains duplicates, so will the result. Since the instructions in the exercise are ambiguous (and being the typical lazy programmer that I am), I'm going to say that this implementation does not need to change.
element-of-set? and
intersection-set haven't changed, neither will their performance. Since
adjoin-set and
union-set no longer need to check for duplicate elements, the performance of both of these procedures is improved. The number of steps required by
adjoin-set has gone from $O(n)$ to $O(1)$. The number of steps required by
union-set has gone from $O(n^2)$ to $O(n)$.
The penalty that we pay for these performance improvements is that sets now require more memory to accommodate duplicate elements. This representation would be preferred over the original in cases where we don't care about that added memory overhead, and where most of our operations are either
adjoin-set or

Following the vote Wednesday afternoon, Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle said he was pulling the bill from the floor, but that he reserved the right to bring it back up if senators requested it.
"We have to move on," said Daschle, a South Dakota Democrat, following the vote on the cloture motion, which failed 54-43, virtually the same margin of defeat in the two earlier votes.
Some farm organizations appeared to throw in the towel following the vote, but the National Cotton Council said it would continue pushing to get a Senate farm bill passed before it adjourned for the year, possibly as early as Thursday.
"Members of the National Cotton Council appreciate the efforts of members and leaders of the Senate to fashion new farm legislation that holds promise for restoring economic viability to American agriculture," NCC Chairman James E. Echols said in a letter to Daschle and Minority Leader Trent Lott of Mississippi.
"However, we are now extremely discouraged that deliberations have stalled. Unless new farm law is enacted promptly, many farmers simply will not be able to secure production financing for the new season."
Members of the Cotton Council and other farm organizations had been urging the Senate to complete its work on a farm bill and send it to a House-Senate conference committee before recessing for the holidays. Following adjournment, the Senate will not return to session until Jan. 23.
"There has not been a time since the Great Depression when American agriculture was under greater economic stress and in greater need for new farm policy that provides a better income safety net while facilitating international competitiveness," Echols' letter stated.
"Our membership, from producer to textile manufacturer, joins unanimously in urging the Senate to resume deliberations as quickly as possible to finalize legislation that is absolutely essential to the restoration of economic viability for American agriculture."
The National Farmers Union, meanwhile, said its hope had been dashed for a new farm bill this year.
"Unfortunately, a minority of senators turned a deaf ear to the pleas from the countryside and voted against enacting a farm bill this year said NFU President Leland Swenson."

One of the great promises of the Advanced LIGO era is the prospect of
integrating gravitational wave astronomy into the greater astronomical
community. This will allow for measurements that cross spectral bands
and provide new paths for insight into some of the most violent
processes in the universe. In this talk I'll discuss past and present
efforts with Initial and Enhanced LIGO to search for transients with
both electromagnetic and gravitational wave signatures, with special
focus on electromagnetic followups of inspiral events and an eye
towards the advanced detector era. In addition, I'll discuss some
work on detecting gravitational waves with pulsar timing experiments,
which seeks to bridge the gap between gravitational wave and
electromagnetic astronomers in a different way.

....An alterative to installing Windows 7 on a Kaby Lake system is to Deploy a Windows Virtual Machine in Hyper-V on Windows 10 where you can install Windows 7 on the Virtual Machine. (This will require a Windows 7 product license that is not provided by Dell.)
..By the way, it's not Microsoft that's responsible for the hardware compatibility issue, it's Intel. Intel writes all the chipset-level code for systems using their parts and Microsoft provides OS information to Intel for integration purposes. Not saying I agree with this system, I just want to put the blame where it belongs...
I've read in several tech forums that you can download the win 10 installer and do a clean install and when it asks for a product key give it the Win7 code. As long as it's the same 'level'. E.g., Home, or Pro it will work. I haven't tried it yet. Traveling too much!
Personally I like win10. I'm dumping my iPad in favor of a Surface Tablet. Should be here tomorrow!
After the second PS stopped working I think I'd be suspecting the computer. Perhaps the battery.
What? No Windows ME?
You should see my PC boneyard.
LOL. You should see my PC boneyard. A few old towers, Apple Powerbook, three or four old laptops, Sharp organizer, five or six motherboards, several old CPUs, Ethernet cards, SCSI and IDE cables, and the gem of the group is my Commodore SX64.
Hmmm... Boneyard... That's a good name for it. TRS-80 Model 1 ..
Think I got you beat John. First program I ever wrote in BASIC was on a VIC 20. Made a rudimentary TRAP SHOOTING program...my other expensive hobby.Gawd, was that sucker ever slow! Of course running off a tape, why wouldn't it be. But it worked. Seems like a lot of us are either too darned old or just like to create 'boneyards'. Gord
Have you considered running Linux? I've always built my own PC's and often at least dual-boot with Windows/Linux. I have several YouTube videos on how to set up your own custom lightweight distribution if you're interested. Should run great even on old hardware and boots up using only 160 MB of RAM! And that's using the latest 16.04 LTS of Ubuntu.
The Problem with Linux is two foldONE: I have yet to successfully intergrate a system using LINUX I can get it to work "Stand alone" but I've not had luck with a home network save for Internet and printer access.Second... I have learned how to operate dozens of Windows Programs.. SOME Of which I paid money for and well with Linux.. I have to learn all new stuff.. Now I don't mind learning,,, but Well.That said.. I like the concept.. I do have a few LINUX distros lying about the RV but alas. I need to find a computer that will run em.. THese new Win-10 boxes are mighty picky what they will run.Posted using a Chromebook (So as you see I dont't mind learning something new)
I've been playing with Linux since the 0.9 kernel . Back then you had to compile the kernel for various hardware options since this was before modules that would load as needed. A compile would take about 8-12 hours on a 286 box

2013 Ford Mustang GT - Sharp-Dressed, Man
A few well-placed modifications make this "13 GT an instant classic
We first encountered this strikingly good-looking 2013 GT in a rather unexpected location: the tony atrium lobby of an upscale hotel. Only the fact that said hotel was located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and was playing host to last summer's Mid America Ford and Shelby Nationals, made any sense out of the site of this automotive find. Still, knowing that the Marriott Southern Hills' lobby is prime real estate annually reserved for only the finest of the Mid America event's FoMoCo and Shelby participant vehicles says something about the quality of this new coupe and its discerning modifications.
The Deep Impact Blue GT belongs to Classic Design Concepts (CDC) and is a rolling catalog of the Michigan company's late-model Mustang styling enhancements, some of which are brand new and specific to the revised '13 model, while others are equally applicable to earlier editions. These most recent bits remind us that every time Ford decides to revise Mustang design cues, it costs businesses like CDC tens of thousands of dollars to tool up new components that fit. Case in point being the '13 Mustang's new, taller grille opening, which prompted the talented CDC team to come up with their simply named "Performance Grille" with an aggressive, open-mouth design reminiscent of the new GT 500s. These will bolt in place of '13 (and '14) factory V-6 or GT grilles and, at only $199 apiece, we're thinking CDC had better sell a bunch to recoup its tooling costs.
The same applies to that cool rear license plate surround (as found on the '13 Mustang RTR), which features deeply recessed E-coated metal mesh screens giving the appearance of diffuser-like ductwork. Other new pieces in evidence include the stamped-steel-and-powder-coated taillight filler panel that eliminates the factory's faux gas cap, and the cool red-white-and-blue-striped "5.0L Coyote" fender badges.
If you've seen any of the Vaughn Gittin Jr-inspired RTR Mustangs, then you may recognize some of this coupe's other body enhancements like the chin spoiler, 3-piece rear splitter, side rocker splitters, and stamped-aluminum rear spoiler. CDC is a design and manufacturing partner in the Mustang RTR and offers specific variants of these individual RTR components for '10-'12 Mustangs as well as the '13-'14.
The GT's ceramic-coated, matte-black RTR axle-back exhaust sounds every bit as good as it looks. Custom made for CDC by MagnaFlow, this system has a commanding tone but doesn't drone on the highway—particularly important if touring is your thing. And those classy 19x9.5-inch rims are silver variants of the black versions found lurking in the wheelwells of the RTR. Falken FK 452 rubber is onboard, P255/40R19 up front and P275/40R19 out back, tucking nicely into the wheel arches thanks to Ford Racing's 1.5-inch lowering springs.
Up top is one of Classic Design's signature Shaker scoops, but this time accented by a version of the company's new hood graphics, which can be had with or without the "Coyote Powered" call-outs. Available in black, silver, or white, CDC can apparently even optionally personalize the lettering to a customer's preference. Inside the otherwise stock cabin is a prototype of CDC's proposed rear seat delete kit, which will have a more refined appearance in production form.
A word here about materials. We've noted over the years that Classic Design Concepts—a company that supplies not only the enthusiast aftermarket but also Detroit's OEMs, including Ford—have a strict OEM-quality philosophy when it comes to its component materials. This means that its new '13 grille and license surround, for instance, are crafted from injection-molded ASA (acrylonitrile atyrene acrylate), while lower-body pieces like the chin spoiler and rocker splitters are made of slightly more flexible injection-molded thermoplastic olefin (TPO.) All we need understand from these multi-syllabic descriptions is that these are the very same long-lasting compounds used in Ford's equivalent original pieces—meaning the CDC parts are engineered to maintain factory textures, colors, and long-term durability. Which may, in part, explain why the folks from the Mid America Ford and Shelby Nationals saw fit to give CDC's GT a place of such prominence in the lobby of their host hotel. This thing's an instant classic.

Meaning and History of Aso-ebi in the Nigerian Wedding Guest Fashion
Have you ever wondered where and how did this aso-ebi wedding fashion for guests even start? Here goes… Aso-ebi (pronounced "ashaw-aybee"), is a social culture that originated from the Yoruba people of South-West Nigeria. By direct translation, aso-ebi means "uniform, solidarity outfit of the family". And, it used to be just that – reserved for the family. An aso-ebi is a uniform outfit worn by family members of a celebrant during an occasion, and it is a way for guests to easily identify the relatives of a celebrant.
So, you can say that aso-ebi is a kind of guests' 'identity card' (literally) at occasions. Wearing of an aso-ebi WAS beyond fashion – it was firstly symbolic – a gesture by the wearers to signify their support and solidarity to the person who is celebrating. An aso-ebi is usually in the form of piece of fabrics and scarfs (for women) or caps (for men).
In the olden days, the main aso-ebi fabric were handwoven traditional fabric, asooke. Today, the aso-oke is one of the oldest Nigerian indigenous fabrics that is still widely worn in and outside Nigeria. The aso-ebi culture is largely responsible for the continuity, spread and innovation of the Yoruba aso-oke and tie-and-dye handmade fabrics. Today, you can find wedding guests wearing aso-ebi in diverse fabrics – there are the lace aso-ebi, ankara aso-ebi and more.

Wedding Aso-ebi Styles, Colours and DesignsPhoto by: Fola Lawal (Nigerian wedding photographer)
In the old Yoruba culture, while planning her wedding, a bride would choose the aso-ebi (colours, fabric, patterns/ designs and Gele headtie and caps) she wants her wedding guests to wear. Then she purchases several quantities of the aso-ebi, resells them to her guests, with a small profit on top to enable her raise extra money for her upcoming wedding. Out of this money, she also buys 'thank you' gifts for each person that purchases her aso-ebi.

Tesla Motors Inc. Chairman and CEO Elon Musk teased California governor Jerry Brown and state lawmakers with the renewed prospect of a huge manufacturing plant Wednesday.
On an earnings call with analysts, Musk said California is back in the running as the site for a so-called Gigafactory, where batteries to feed the expanding demand for Tesla electric cars will be built.
Musk was cautious, saying that the state was in the \"improbable but not impossible\" category for getting the plant.
He said Tesla will break ground on two Gigafactory locations, one next month and a second later on this year.
Tesla\'s production have been constrained by limited battery availability, the company said on the call.
Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas are also in the running for the huge Gigafactory project, which is expected to employ thousands of people when it reaches full production.
Of course, Musk\'s announcement could simply be a negotiating ploy to put pressure on the other states. He noted that California\'s onerous regulatory environment would make it difficult to complete the project in time to meet Tesla\'s needs.
California recently lost Toyota Motors headquarters to Texas, with several thousand jobs set to leave the state as a result.
Separately, Musk said Panasonic has signed a letter of intent with Tesla in connection with the battery plant project.

This article on the front page of the Greenfield Daily Recorder-Gazette announces a plan for the federal government to buy butter and beef for the poor. The origins of this program lie in the efforts of the New Deal to raise the prices of farm goods to increase the income of farmers. To accomplish this goal, the New Deal's Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA) encouraged farmers to reduce the production of grain, livestock and other farm products. Fewer products on the market would cause higher prices, it was hoped. In the early fall of 1933, the AAA killed millions of young pigs. The slaughter of livestock while unemployed workers went hungry caused an outcry and led to the creation of the Federal Surplus Relief Corporation. Within two years, the FSRC had distributed approximately $265 million dollars worth or farm products to the poor.

Davies has spoken with Cleverley
Bolton striker Kevin Davies did speak to Tom Cleverley after the tackle that left the Manchester United midfielder with ankle ligament damage.
Bolton striker Kevin Davies did speak to Tom Cleverley after the tackle that left the Manchester United midfielder with ankle ligament damage.
Cleverley faces around four weeks on the sidelines as a result of the incident in Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash at the Reebok Stadium.
Press Association Sport understands veteran forward Davies, 34, did ring Cleverley on Saturday evening to wish him all the best.
It was initially feared the 22-year-old had broken a bone and could have been out for much longer.
Messages posted on a fake Tom Cleverley Facebook page on Saturday night claimed the United player was angry and that Davies had not apologised.
United made clear this account was not genuine and Davies' wife, Emma, who herself received abusive messages via Twitter, tweeted to say there had been contact.
Her tweet read: "For all the ill-informed haters... Kevin spoke to Tom Cleverly (sic) on the phone earlier. He would never intentionally hurt anyone."
Cleverley underwent a scan on Sunday which confirmed the injury was not as bad as first thought.
The youngster will miss the start of the Champions League group stage and a possible England debut in next month's Euro 2012 qualifier against Montenegro but should be back in action in November.

Greetings from the Conference Chair
Welcome to Canada and to the beautiful city of Vancouver! This is only the second time in its long history that the
ASIS&T Annual Meeting has been held outside the US, and all delegates, from wherever in the world, are invited to enjoy the many attractions offered by the Meeting and the city alike.
We all share a world rich in cultural diversity but also one in which countries, organizations and individuals have never before been so closely linked politically, economically and socially. The theme of the 2009 Meeting, Thriving on Diversity Information Opportunities in a Pluralistic World, recognizes this reality by offering participants the opportunity to explore how information research and practice can promote global communication while maintaining that diversity.
This years call elicited 84 contributed papers, of which 45 (54%) were accepted after reviewing. In addition, 44 reviewed panel sessions and 105 posters will be presented over the Meetings four days. In addition, two new features will be hosted in Vancouver which may become regular events in the future. An Industry Session on Monday morning comprises two parts: the first, Eyes on the Future: Trends in Information Technology, presents a panel of leaders from industry, and the second, A Glimpse of the Cutting Edge in Information Applications, will focus on product demonstrations. Then on Wednesday morning an innovative Pecha-Kucha session will be held in which six well-known figures from academe and industry will each be given exactly 6 minutes and 40 seconds to present their ideas on the theme Diversity in Digital Environments Opportunity or Chaos? The session will be interactive with opportunities for members of the audience to discuss and challenge these ideas in a lively environment.
This years speaker at the opening Plenary Session on Sunday afternoon is Tim Bray, a Canadian born in Alberta who grew up in Lebanon and works in the US a model himself of diversity! Tim has held prestigious positions in a number of IT companies, and currently is Director of Web Technologies at Sun Microsystems. His presentation will certainly be a highlight of the Meeting.
As regular ASIS&T attendees have come to expect, all is not work: a number of social events will be held throughout the Meeting, including the opening Welcome Reception, the Awards Luncheon, the Alumni and the International Receptions, and to bring the Meeting to a close on Wednesday evening, the Presidents Reception. Added to this list must be included the SIG CON on Tuesday evening, when information scientists reveal that they can poke a little fun at themselves.
A Meeting such as this does not happen by itself, but draws upon the time, efforts and skills of a wide range of people. I owe a debt of gratitude to the 12 members of the Organizing Committee who worked so hard to ensure that the Program as outlined above has become a reality. The many reviewers who placed their expertise at the Committees disposal in order within tight deadlines to vet the various submissions accomplished a marvelous job. The online Proceedings are again the result of Andrew Groves painstaking efforts, and all of us are grateful for his continued dedication. Finally, the recipient of so many emails from myself, the ASIS&T Executive Director, along with his staff, have guided me through the labyrinth of organizing an Annual Meeting: to Dick Hill and his colleagues, many thanks!
Andrew Large
AM09 Conference Chair
The 2009 Annual Meeting Planning Committee has been working hard to put together an exciting program for all. Mark your calendar and plan your trip; we look forward to seeing you in Vancouver!

text: Iconic Corn Seed Brands Merge March 14, 2013 06:50 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Rhonda Brooks Editor, Farm Journal MagazineEditorial Director, Farm Journal Media Email Seeds of change are in progress for Syngenta this spring as brands merge and a revised retailer network is launched. Seeds of change are in progress for Syngenta this spring. Company officials announced this week it is merging two of its seed corn brands, Garst and Golden Harvest, and that it is implementing a new focus for its seed advisors network. The network is comprised of independent dealers who have focused traditionally on only seed sales for the company. Now, the Midwest-based network of dealers will also advise farmers on Syngenta seed treatments and crop protection products, according to Colin Steen, head of the company's dealer channel commercial unit. Steen says the change reflects the company's effort to better meet farmer needs and simplify the decision-making processes farmers face each year. "For example, based on pressure from rootworm or other insects, (the advisor) can recommend the right trait package but also understands when a seed treatment or soil insecticide may help boost crop performance," Steen explains. He adds that there has been no change to the field personnel who call on farmers. This week, Syngenta also announced it is in the process of merging its Garst and Golden Harvest seed corn brands. Starting next fall, existing Garst hybrids will be sold thereafter under a revised Golden Harvest seed brand. A new hybrid numbering system and logo for Golden Harvest will be in place for 2013 field trials and the 2014 planting season. Going to a single corn brand will help streamlines logistics for the seed advisors, from the seed ordering process through inventory and delivery, according to Steen. "Combined with the numerous operational improvements we've made, we'll be able to give growers quicker and better access to products they want," he says. The Garst and Thomas Seed Corn Co., was founded in 1930 by Roswell Garst and Charles Thomas in Coon Rapids, Iowa. The company is known in the agricultural industry for its colorful, rich history. For instance, in 1959, during the Cold War, Roswell Garst took the controversial step to host then Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev and his family at his farm to promote the Green Revolution and to encourage agricultural trade between the United States and Russia. "We respect the rich history and heritage of both the Garst and Golden Harvest brands," Steen says. "But we're in a position now where we can better serve our customers by bringing them together under a single corn brand." Syngenta expects to close the Coon Rapids Garst plant by December 31, 2013.

General practitioners (GPs) will stage protests across Bulgaria starting from Monday.
Protests will begin in the regions of Veliko Tarnovo, Yambol, Kyustendil and Razgrad, with other regions to follow suit in the coming days.
GPs will close their surgeries, but in each practice where a protest will be held, one medical crew will remain on duty to take care of people with acute need....
I|f I may, I would suggest that you read all of Seedy's ignorant comments, including the ones to to Villageguy, look up the correct meaning of pleb in the Dictionary and I will be surpised if you do not agree!
Mr. Barra1, I share the idea outlined in Your first post.
As for "Seedy"...a shining example of a pleb": let me object and object strongly. I see in this nick humour and self-irony, the best personality traits, imho.
Americanisms, frankly, never use them, prefer English, makes more sense.
I was going to say to you "go forth and mutiply" (or words to that effect) but to be honest, the world does not deserve your offspring with they , in any way, take after you!
"Seedy" by name............ a shining example of a pleb!
Madam, it is my right to decide whom I wish to communicate with and , again, I chose not to do so with you. The correspondence was not for you but a pleb calling himself 'Seedy".
I have never claimed to be an intellectual but an academic, in its true sense. I fine the use of the expression "Flying duck" very crass and, I am sure, unworthy of you.
I find your comments amusing, so far from reality but I will stand by what I said at the beginning, I do not support the strike by the Doctors and have had it confirmed that "the medical crew" cannot guarantee the presense of a doctor!
And BTW idiot, our correspondence never started! This is all about you making a mountain out of a molehill and being a most annoying "person". And that's online, I'd hate to think what people that you know personally have to put up with. Go do something useful for a change.
"Do not bother to reply, I feel that our 'correspondence is at an end"..................
Who the flying duck do you think you are telling me or others, whether to reply or not? Get over yourself you arrogant, aggressive, conceited and antagonistic wretch that you are. Having just read your posts, I am convinced that you are not an intellectual at all, but just a sad, rancid old fish looking for trouble and not a debate.
"I am corresponding with high minds, my collegues in academia, my equals, who know about debating."......
Idiot, before you brag about how intellectual you are, and correcting and criticising other people's comments, have a look at your own spelling and style in every comment of yours on this article - which is NOT one of an intellectual. Wannabe. Go take a very long walk on a very short pier.
"Get with the program" is an American expression, you sad pillock. I never use a spell-checker - they're for illiterates and half-wits such as the one you see in your mirror every morning. As with threats, I rarely indulge in bandying words, especially with a patent nincompoop and nonentity. When you grow up intellectually, do let me know....
When in correspondence with any person it is extremely rude to include a comment for another!
When you are trying to bandy words always ensure that all is in order, do not use an American spell checker, they are usually wrong. Ah, you did. In the English language it is P.r.o.g.r.a.m.m.e not the bastarised version. Ignoramus!!
One last comment, Agree? You? Never! You would just argue with yourself!
VG - why would I "attack" patent nonsense? I think you're getting delusions of adequacy; sadly, that's not really treatable.
I am amazed Seedy you haven't attacked my demographic policy yet seedy. I have been expecting it. You're comments on this suggestion line are expected, I can hardly be bothered to answer them.
Barra - you are clearly barking-mad; I certainly hope that I never find myself having to agree with you if/when you finally get around to having a lucid thought.
VG - that's not "hate", you unmitigated oik; please get with the program....
Seedy, fella, are you real? You seem so full of hatred for anyone without your views. You're intelligent enough, but why don't you put your intellect to being diplomatic and problem solving rather than problem creating? You use your time to detriment rather than positivity.
I had not realised that I was dealing with a pleb, full of crass comments. What do you not understand about 'no further correspodence' ? I am corresponding with high minds, my collegues in academia, my equals, who know about debating.
Good - don't forget to close the door when you leave! But do feel free to come back when you have something sensible to say.........however long that may take.
It definitely shows a weakness if you are unable to communicate but at least you admit it. I am in no concerned at what you think, if at all you do.
You see why I use the word pathetic to describe you, because I have a different view on a subject to you, then I must be an idiot or moron (that is if you actually know the meaning of the word!) Pathetic comments, mind you it shows one that the person I am dealing is narrow and small minded.
I have neither the time or inclination to correspond with you any more.
