P22 End User License Agreement and Limited WarrantyThank you for purchasing P22 fonts. To ensure that P22 continues to bring you more exciting, historically relevant type, please take the time to read this agreement. It might not be the most fascinating read, but its very important and may answer many questions that you may have. Please register your fonts and remember that free software is an exception, not the rule. 1. Notice to user. You (End User) have not purchased the ownership rights to this font, but rather a license to use this font on a limited basis. Purchasing a license for any P22 font or font distributed by P22 (International House of Fonts, Sherwood Collection and other) via download, or e-mail, constitutes an agreement between P22 type foundry, Inc (P22) and the end user of the enclosed typefaces (software) that the terms and conditions of this contract will be followed. If the fonts are purchased in hard copy format (CD-ROM or floppy disk), removing the media from its protective sleeve (paper pouch, DVD cases, or other) in which the media is contained constitutes the same agreement. If you do not agree with the terms of this agreement, return the complete package with the CD or floppy disk sleeve unopened to the place of purchase. If downloaded or received by e-mail, all files must be deleted. A signed affidavit may be required to receive a refund.2. Grant of License. The basic P22 distributed software license is limited for use on a total of 5 devices at one site for use on a single platform. A device is defined as a computer, printer, character generator, server or any other machine that uses font data to rasterize letterforms. A site is defined as one physical location. Platform refers to operating systems designated as 'Macintosh', 'Windows' or other. A laptop may be one of the devices in the basic license of 5 devices as long as the laptop is associated primarily with the licensed location. Simply working offsite on a laptop is permissible in the basic license and is regarded as an extension of the site. Work transported from one distinct network to another distinct network, via a laptop requires each network to be licensed properly.Additional licensing is also required if you are installing the font(s) on more than 5 devices (Site License), or a LAN/WAN Server with more than 4 devices, or, if you and/or additional users will have access to the font(s) at more than one location (Corporate License), or, if your printer/service bureau is installing the fonts for job output for more than one-time use (Service Bureau).

WASHINGTON: The United States and Pakistan on Tuesday announced agreement on a Joint Action Plan to expand bilateral trade and investment flows over the next five years and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on women's economic empowerment.
The accord came as Minister for Commerce Khurram Dastgir Khan and US Trade Representative Ambassador Michael Froman led the two sides at a meeting of the US-Pakistan Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA) Council.
"Trade with Pakistan supports good-paying jobs in the United States and is a key part of our effort to unlock opportunity for American works, businesses, farmers, and ranchers," the US Trade Representative said, welcoming the Pakistani delegation.
Federal Minister for Commerce Khurram Dastgir Khan hailed the Joint Action Plan, stating with it the two countries are"turning a new leaf" in their trade and economic relations.
He voiced a strong hope that as two democracies Pakistan and the United States would be able to bolster the trade ties to lay a "more permanent foundation of a more positive" relationship between the two longtime friends.
"The challenge in democratic Pakistan is that democracy should be seen as delivering a better standard of life and creating more jobs," he noted and looked forward to the US support in spurring trade, investment and economic growth in his country.
Khurram Dastgir Khan particularly noted that since the inception of the democratic government in Islamabad last year, the sentiment towards the US has improved considerably by 13 per cent in the country and added suspension in drone strikes is also helping to create a positive atmosphere.
He said the government in Islamabad, led by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, is endeavouring to revive the national economy and investment and is fully focused on removing obstacles including extremism and energy shortages in the way of high and sustained economic growth.
He said that since Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's White House talks with President Barack Obama in October 2013, the two countries have started moving forward the relationship on an upward trajectory, and hoped for continued progress in the bilateral relationship.
In his remarks, Ambassador Froman said that "the announcement of agreement on a Joint Action Plan to improve bilateral trade and investment as well as the signing of the MOU on women's economic empowerment underscores the strong and growing relationship between the United States and Pakistan on trade and investment issues and signifies monumental progress for Pakistani women."
Among the goals and areas of cooperation included in the Joint Action Plan are: diversifying agricultural production; promoting intellectual property protection; implementing the World Trade Organisation (WTO) Trade Facilitation Agreement; seeking Pakistan's accession to the WTO Government Procurement Agreement; conducting outreach to US state and local governments; enhancing entrepreneurship; and increasing dialogue between the US and Pakistani private sectors.
Earlier, Ambassador Froman and Minister for Commerce discussed the Joint Action Plan to expand bilateral trade and investment flows over the next five years.
President Obama and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif instructed senior officials to develop the Joint Action Plan after their meeting in October 2013.
The office of US Trade Representative said that the "historic" Memorandum of Understanding on Joint Efforts to Enable the Economic Empowerment of Women and to Promote Women's Entrepreneurship will allow both governments to pursue the joint objectives of promoting the economic empowerment of Pakistani women, developing women entrepreneurs, and ensuring that women are afforded economic and business opportunities.
Also, on the margins of the TIFA Council meeting, private sector representatives from the United States and Pakistan met to discuss opportunities and challenges in the textiles and apparel sectors, as well as the information and communications

Barcelona centre-back Gerard Pique is full of praise for Villarreal's Italy international striker Giuseppe Rossi.
The pair used to play together at Manchester United and have mutual respect for each other.
Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Pique was asked for his opinion of Rossi.
"Ah, Giuseppe… I hope that the rumour [he is coming to Barcelona] is true because he is not only a friend from my time in Manchester, but a striker of absolute quality.
"He knows how to do everything well. He has an assassin-like left-foot and a lot of goals in his feet.
"Today Rossi is one of the opponents who makes me suffer the most because he is little, quick and technical.
"Didier Drogba is an outstanding player, but give me him to defend any day. Giuseppe is slippery - a second is all it takes to lose him.
"How I'd like to have him on my side again…"

I may think I have an easy web-site to navigate. But, a couple of weeks ago, I realized how hard it is for some people to find what they are looking for when I was making a personal appearance at Bloomingdale's in Short Hills, New Jersey. A listener came by to scold me that I had not, as I said I would, put Suzanne Hamlin's macaroni and cheese recipe in The Maven's Diary. I knew I had. I knew it was there. Yet he insisted that I had not, and he walked off in a huff.
I hope the new recipe indexes I am working on now will help those of you who can't find recipes I say are here. Unfortunately, the search engine software I use comes through only once a week (on Fridays I believe) so that the search box on the upper left side of any page with the red border will work only for recipes on the site for more than a week.
Meanwhile, let me point out that there are several recipes archived in The Maven's Diary that are appropriate to Passover and Easter. With spring coming tomorrow, I know those holidays are beginning to be on your mind. You can find all the following recipes by going to The Maven's Diary and clicking on Archive 2000. Once there, you will see the year divided into months. Click on the entry you want. (Sorry, but there are year 2001 entries mixed in with the March 2000 entries. My webmaster is working on that to correct it.)
Abe Lebewohl's Matzoh Balls, from the famous and dear late owner of the Second Avenue Deli, appeared in the Maven's Diary on April 16, 2000.
Matzoh Buttercrunch, the delicious candy from Montreal-based maven Marcy Goldman (www.betterbaking.com) that caused a sensation among my Jewish listeners last year, appeared on April 5, 2000.
My Family's Passover Walnut Cake, which I intend to try with hazelnuts this year, appeared on March 15, 2000. Please read the whole entry, not just the recipe, before baking the cake. You'll see what I mean when you do.
Ann Nurse's Famous Easter Ham, which she is making again this year for her perpetually sold-out James Beard Foundation Easter Brunch, was in the diary item dated April 27, 2000.
Pastiera Rustica di Tagliolini, a recipe from my book Naples At Table, is one of my favorite dishes to make for a buffet (as in Easter brunch buffet) and it ran in the Diary on April 10, 2000.

bacon, shrimp, Chinese barbecue pork or smoked chicken.
8 cups cooked, day old long grain rice
3 tablespoons thin soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
Salt to taste
It is recommended to use day old rice so that the drier rice can soak up the
flavors. In a wok, add 2 tablespoons of oil and quickly soft-scramble the eggs.
Remove the eggs. In the same wok, coat with oil and stir-fry garlic and ginger.
Add white scallions and lapchang. Add rice and mix thoroughly. Add soy sauce,
white pepper and scrambled eggs. Check for seasoning. Serve immediately.

I used ebookers before but STA gave me a good quote for my flight.
So with all that booked they now email me and say they've made a mistake and there is another £54 to pay on each ticket so this is £100 more than they said-and theyve taken the £600 that they quoted me in the first place.
I then phone them, they say we'll call you back (as at 9.30am-they're not open and he hasnt got his computer set up!) and have i had a phone call yet-NO!
I thought STA had a good reputation.
They'd better pay it or sort it coz they're not having more money off me.
It all seems very dodgy to me. I even had to photocopy my card and post it to them as they need to see the card apparantly, altho they had my card number over the phone and debited the money!!
Am i just being paranoid, phoned my bank asking if they could stop them taking anymore money...and that was useless!

She has also founded some of the first creative artistic projects by and for undocumented writers/artists. Now, leading cultural equity work as the Managing Director at CultureStrike.
Long Bio: Born in Ecuador, at the age of 5 Sonia Guiñansaca migrated to the United States to reunite with her parents in New York City. Since 2007, Guiñansaca has been public about her experience as an undocumented immigrant. In 2008, she joined the New York State Youth Leadership Council (NYSYLC) the first and only undocumented youth led organization in NY where she served as a Board Member. Guiñansaca has since participated in: the second recorded civil disobedience action done by undocumented youth where they took over the D.C Senate Building (2010), and a 10- day hunger strike. She organized NY undocumented youth communities, direct actions, and has advocated for educational bills for migrant students. During this time, the poet and activist also attempted to infiltrate an Alabama detention center in, and coordinated campaigns to end the deportation of undocumented people (2011), among other actions in the immigrant rights movement.
In 2011, Guiñansaca launched the Dreaming in Ink creative writing workshop for undocumented youth and performance spaces known as UndocuMic's. This would become the first writing and performance initiatives by and for undocumented emerging writers and artists. Since then, Dreaming in Ink and the UndocuMic's have become structures replicated throughout the country.
Currently, she is the new Managing Director at Culture/Strike. Since coming to CultureStrike in 2013, Sonia has led national projects on racial and migrant justice, continuously fought for cultural equity, supported artists of color especially migrant, queer, trans, and women of color emerging artist, and shifted conversation around migrant narratives. She has collaborated with social justice movement groups to shift and increase the understanding of the roles of arts and culture in movement spaces. In 2013, along with Kemi Bello, a fellow undocumented writer staff at CultureStrike, they created and put together the first national UndocuWriting retreat in North California for undocumented writers of different genres, with Staceyann Chin as one of the guest faculty. This became a groundbreaking moment bringing together for the first time 11 undocumented writers from across the nation , representing over 9 countries. Since then, Sonia has continually supported emerging undocumented writers in residency opportunities, and by developing a partnership with VONA to increase support for these writers. She is editing the first undocumented poetry anthology, Home in Time of Displacement , and curating Undocumenting.com, the first and only online archive profiling undocumented artists. She continues to mentor emerging migrant writers, curating safe welcoming panels and open mic's for these artists. For the past 7 years she has advocated for migrant artists at different art institutions and funders, and currently is working with many to shift their institutional policies, staffing, opportunities, and programming.

Shenandoah Valley Shawl
Finished Measurements:
• Wingspan 64" (162.5 cm)
• Depth at Center Back 15" (38 cm)
Materials: 1 skein (1300 yards/100 grams) Old Maiden Aunt Merino/Silk Laceweight (80% Merino, 20% Silk), color Lon-Dubh
This shawlette is worked with laceweight yarn held doubled.
Needles: size US 2 (2.75 mm) long circular, 1 size US 3 (3.25 mm) double-pointed needle for bind off
• 2 stitch markers
• row counter (or pencil for tracking the Wings)
• blocking tools
• tapestry needle for weaving in ends
Gauge: 24 sts and 48 rows over 4" in stockinette stitch, post blocking
Be aware that any difference in gauge will change the size of your finished shawl, as well as the amount of yarn you need to knit it - more stitches to the inch will mean a smaller shawl using less yarn, and vice versa.
The shawl is worked from the center upper back out and down. There are three sections, all worked at the same time: Wing 1, Center, and Wing 2. The Wings are basically mirror images of each other with stockinette selvedges.
The Center Section is related to Elizabeth Zimmerman's Pi Shawl. Almost all of the increases fall on wrong side rows. You may wish to have a row counter or a pencil nearby to keep track of your Actual Row versus your Wing Row.

We all have those days where we roll out of bed (after hitting the snooze button too many times), rush into the closet and have no idea to wear. How long do you usually spend coordinating your outfit? 10 minutes? 20 minutes? Things would be easier if you could just throw on a t-shirt and run out the door - right? Well, you're in luck! You can actually do that with a t-shirt dress.
Pairing a t-shirt dress with your favorite kicks is a chic and foolproof way to look put together under five minutes. You also have endless options to adapt it to your personal style. Need inspiration? Look below for three outfit ideas I put together!

Shadows Rising
Jamven Pegason
Jamven was a human merchant with offices located in Glitterhaegen and Shadow Port—he had been known as a dealer in ancient Dwarven artifacts, and was recently embroiled in a trading scheme gone horribly wrong. Realizing he had discovered an ancient dwarven artifact of great power, he decided that the only thing to do was to return it directly to the Dwarf King. Upon arriving in Forge (only to discover that the Dwarf King was away), he was intercepted by Bellamin, the Royal Dwarven Armorer. Unwilling to give the item to Bellamin, he was found mortally wounded as Alatir, Branan, Marduke, Nerryn and Serine burst onto the scene. Only time will tell if his sacrifice was worth it.


text: www.townhall.com/columnists/davidlimbaugh/printdl20041123.shtml Liberals are having conniption fits because President Bush is approaching his second term as if he were actually elected. But conseervatives in Congress may be growing bolder, too, if the just-passed spending bill is any indication. I'm talking about the sepcific provision that conservatives inserted in it that bars federal, state, or local agencies from uising financial coercion to pressure health care providers to perform abortion services or referrals. Can you believe such a bill could ever be necessary in this country? How could we have arrived at the point where the federal government's policy is to treat the killing of innocent babies in the womb as a de facto governement entitlement? Indeed, certain Democratic leaders are outraged by the Republican's audacious maneuver. House minority leader Nancy Pelosi grumbled, "Roe v. Wade is the law of the land, but Republicans are gutting it step by step. "Senator Diane Feinstein called the privision a "terrible, egrigious abuse of power." Let's consider some of these complaints. Have you noticed the recurring modus operandi of liberal activists these days of trying to radically change the status quo and then painting those fighting to retain it as the agitators? Just as homosexual activists characterize proponents of preserving the age-old institution of traditional marriage as enemies of thier civil rights, these liberals pro-aborts are saying, in effect, that unless the governement proactively encourages the practice of abortion, it is "gutting" or "chiping away" at abortion rights. For Nancy Pelosi's information, Roe v. Wade had nothing to do with the right of states to regulate abortion. It had nothing to do with forcing health care providers to perform abortions. It's bad enough that the courts have, essentially, CREATED a federal constitutional right to abortion in certain categories of cases for those who freely choose to engage in the procedure. But it's even worse for the government to force unwilling health care providers agianst their will, and oftentimes agianst thier consciences, to engage in the abominable practice. These same people who steadfastly claim they are merely pro-choice--as if they are neutral on the issue--are the ones who vigorously back institutions and groups that seem to discourage mothers from having their babies. These pro-aborts are also usually people who most loudly profess their belief in a pure seperation of church and state, presumably becasue they don't want the state forcing its values down its citizens'throats. Yet they have no hesitation in using the government to force this "value" down our throats!! David Limbaugh

Petrological analysis has been made of the products from a number of workshops (Bezeczky 1987). Petrological analyses can distinguish between amphorae of Italian and Istrian origin. The characteristic 'terra rossa' was use in the Istrian vessels. This was tempered by rocks rich in carbonate and sea sand. The Italian pieces can be distinguished by the presence of pyroxene. The heavy minerals grains are usually bigger, especially the piroxene, epidote, and granite. All the Dressel 6B amphorae have large quantities of shell granules and microrganisms, e.g., planctonic foraminifera and geodia sponge spicules. On the basis of the thin sections analysis and the heavy mineral preparations from the amphorae of the Laecanius workshop, it can be stated that the same workshop used non homogenous material and the firing temperature varied between 750 and 900 degrees centigrade (Bezeczky, 1987; 1994c).

Islam in Europe
Examines the diversity, identity and influence of Muslim groups in Europe. Events over recent years have increased the global interest in Islam. This volume seeks to combat generalisations about the Muslim presence in Europe by illuminating its diversity across Europe and offering a more realistic, highly differentiated picture. It contends with the monist concept of identity that suggests Islam is the shared and main definition of Muslims living in Europe. The contributors also explore the influence of the European Union on the Muslim communities within its borders, and examine how the EU is in turn affected by the Muslim presence in Europe. This book comes at a critical moment in the evolution of the place of Islam within Europe and will appeal to scholars, students and practitioners in the fields of European studies, politics and policies of the European Union, sociology, sociology of religion, and international relations. It also addresses the wider framework of uncertainties and unease about religion in Europe.

Released this week in a somewhat Soderberghian manner (with simultaneous theatrical, DVD, and online distribution), Rage interweaves 14 fractured blue-screen monologues from an impressive farrago of independent film actors and lesser-known stage names to insinuate a peripheral tale of fashion-world brutality. Off screen there's a runway show that dissolves into pandemonium when one of models is killed in an Isadora Duncan-esque freak accident involving a motorcycle prop and an errant scarf; two days later another model is shot to death while strutting for her brand. In the film's primary dramatic premise, a cavalcade of industry characters—designers, models, press reps, wannabes, and has-beens—deconstruct their memories and thoughts on the horrific events before the minuscule iris of a cellphone camera operated by local student Michelangelo, whom we never see or hear.
Despite provoking crippling skepticism (why would the fashion elite speak with such candor to a student? How could a cellphone produce such high-resolution images?), it's an intriguing if not altogether successful approach, and one that could easily yield more satisfying results from other filmmakers (one might hope this event has the attention of Todd Solondz or Rodrigo García). The sketch-like focus on dialogue and characterization, as opposed to plot or mise-en-scène, is clearly the most logical direction for the burgeoning online/mobile entertainment movement, where grandiose visual concepts are dwarfed into 3.5 horizontal inches and uninspired set pieces are scrubbed ahead with the flick of a pinky. The advantage of Rage is its stylistic redundancy and still-life portraiture feel; one could pause the film at any time to check their email and return without having severed the narrative flow. The disadvantage is that the movie's serenely glabrous surface lacks dynamism: Aside from the colored backgrounds that match each respective character's eyes, garments, and/or hair, there are no visual indicators of plot development or tension, which lends itself to 98 minutes of occasionally soporific sameness.
If the performances were more accomplished, or if the murder mystery storyline were less marginal, or if—the simplest fix—the film were simply shorter, we might not feel as weary about spending time with these fashion insiders. But writer-director Sally Potter seems curiously entertained by the most pedestrian performances—Eddie Izzard and Judi Dench, playing a deftly wicked entrepreneur and a blustering art critic, command their chroma-keyed stages with seasoned complexity, but they're given a paucity of screen time compared to Steve Buscemi's underwhelming mercantilist photographer and Jude Law's embarrassing narcissistic transvestite. (David Oyelowo's Hamlet-spouting detective is beneath antipathy.) And while the stark visual formalism of the experiment is ideal for shrunken PDA and laptop screens, the monochromatic backgrounds and crystalline digital sheen seem borrowed from online commercials. Mute the sound, and you've got an adequately produced Apple ad.

L'm late on the banwagon about the Meet Matt(e), I was waiting for the price to get down. I bought mine on Tophatter.com (a bidding site). I paid 15$ and regular price is about 36$.
L'm not gonna do swatches 'cause online there's plenty.
At first I was a little disappointed because I didn't find the colors all that pigmented especially Matt Ramirez and Matt Chung. But after a couple of tries, L'm not in love with this palette but I like it.
I think mixing these colors with eyeshadows that I already have will make it look better but on it's own it works. For me, it's a workday palette when I fell too tired to spend to much time on my face or a saturday running errands.
Here's on of the looks I did for work.
I used Matt Gallagher for the brows, Matt Chung on the eyelid and Matt Horowitz in the crease, it's a light look for work.
For the price that I paid I can't complain, I just wish they were a little bit more pigmented especially for my skin color I need color! Also I know in almost every palette there's a black but it would of been great to have one on this one especially if you travel with it.
L'm still gonna play with with my other eyeshadows and l'm sure I will appreciate the palette more!!

text: Hi Everyone, HAPPY NEW YEAR! I have a WRT54G v2.2 and cannot receive an IP Address from the router when I try to use WPA encryption for my wireless security. If I use no encryption or WPA2 it works fine, but WPA does not work. I have tried with 3 different laptops and a pda and they all experience the same problems. I have tried the latest linksys firmware, the latest Hyperwrt and am now running DD-WRT v23 sp2 and still cannot get it to work. Has anyone else had this problem? I would like to use WPA because my PDA does not support WPA2, and I don't want to use WEP. Thanks in advance.

Apple is planning to release an updated version of the iPad 2 Plus
Berger argues that the iPad 2 Plus will differ from the iPad 2 higher quality screen. If iPad 2 pixel density of 132 pixels per inch, the iPad 2 Plus, it will be increased to 250-300 pixels per inch. Recall that in the screen of the iPhone Retina 4, this figure is 326 pixels per inch.
iPad 2 Plus will be released before the end of 2011, according to Berger. For information about the tablet, according to him, he was given the sources of component suppliers. Who will commission the production of Apple devices, is still unknown. It is reported that the company asked its partners to send her offers.
Previously, similar information about the new Apple tablet has spread Taiwanese publication DigiTimes. According to him, the tablet will get a screen with a resolution of 250 pixels per inch and will be presented in October with the new iPhone.
Tablet iPad 2 Apple introduced March 2, 2011. In the first weekend after the start of sales in the U.S. has sold half a million and one million tablets. Analysts are predicting that in July - August 2011 sales may exceed 14 million units.

Pim, the frangipane in this recipe looks very similar to the one in your rustic fruit galette video on YouTube. This recipe calls for a quarter of the quantity of frangipane. You don't mention in the video whether the same is true for the fruit galette. Does this mean that you use the entire quantity of frangipane for the fruit galette?
I could also call it the easiest fig tart, ever. Really. It has an astonishingly small list of ingredients: a pie crust*, some luscious figs, with a hidden layer of frangipane, which, despite the fancy-sounding French name, is simply a concoction of toasted almonds, sugar, butter, and egg t...

This week I was invited to view their art gallery of Instagram photos & this season's fancy new Sperry shoes. Sperry's the Sea Project, #mypassionforthesea, invited individuals to share their photos inspired by their own passion for the sea and enter them for consideration in the Instagram-fueled photography contest, exhibit and limited edition book. I was fortunate enough to receive a copy of the limited edition book. There are really beautiful photos of the sea inside. Proceeds from the book got to support the Ocean Conservancy.
As an girl who grew up by the beach, I've always had a deep love for the boat shoe aesthetic. Do you see those blue wedges below? Yep, those. I want! I want!! I want!!! Comfortable ✓ No slip bottom ✓ Goes up to a size 12 ✓ and above all Fabulous ✓ Yeah, you can say I'm in love. I'm thinking these would be perfect with any skinny leg pant. You can get them here.
Style Note: I know I've been GwynnieBee (You can try it out free for 30 days) heavy, but honestly they ship so fast. I had a lot of things to go to this week, so it was nice having something new on deck. This is supposed to be a dress, but as you can see it's short. I paired with a pair of ankle pants and wore it as a tunic. My sister gifted me these pants from Nordstrom via Vince Camuto. They are like a ponte knit legging. They are nice and thick and fit amazingly. You really can't see my shoes that well, but these are my new favorites. The heel is so cute...it's like a wedge, but a little more sleeker. It's crazy, but I didn't have a pair black pumps.

Morgan and I are in a hardcore duel over who can not-post the longest. It's pretty lame and so I decided to lose. Apologies for the hiatus.
Well, I decided to lose, but I couldn't think of something to post about. Well, that's not true. There is LOTS to post about…I'm just too lazy to put anything into coherent sentences. And I did nothing today. Nothing. Well, except procrastinate from posting and doing legitimate things by drawing all over my new Nalgene. Besides the fact that you can't really read the quotes because it's clear (lack of forethought?), I think it turned out pretty good–
(Just for the record… that says "The unexamined life is not worth living" not just "life is not worth living")
I figure we've all got the same shit these days, might as well "personalize" and make it look like my shit, you feel me? Alright. I'll stop before I get even more eloquent than I already am. BLOG-BLOCK OVER. Legitimate post (hopefully) to come.

When I was making a lot of mental model diagrams in the get-it-to-market-yesterday boom of the late 1990's, I used a technique that resulted in a mental model diagram plus gap analysis in the course of one day. I think this technique is still valid today. It can serve to get you started in this practice, which you can later add to in a more carefully-contemplated fashion. Here's an example of my session with a group of nine talented design agency folks. We spent 2.75 hours putting together a set of towers based on 24 individual stories, and then spent rest of the day brainstorming ideas to support those towers. Here's how we did it.
A week in advance, solicit stories from people. If your proposed audience segments happen to be online, ask for stories via email, tweets, Facebook, etc. If these folks aren't online, then ask as many people as you can to solicit stories from friends & family in their daily life and write you a summary, using that person's voice. (Use the personal pronoun "I" when recapping the stories.) When you ask for a story, be very explicit about what you want to hear, and give examples. As the stories come in, sort them roughly into piles of similarity.[Note: Someone wrote in asking for more detail about this part of the Lightning Quick Session. Here are step-by-step directions that you might send out, say, in an email blast to folks who are members of the audience segment you wish to study.]
On the day of the workshop, gather everyone together either in a room with lots of sticky notes, or online with a shared Google spreadsheet. Assign one person to read and comb out verb+noun labels, and two or three people to scribble these labels down, either on sticky notes or in the Google spreadsheet. Assign the rest of the folks (at least one) to organize the labels as they are created. So, yeah, that's four people minimum for this exercise. You probably want to cut off the number of people participating at 10 or so. Alternately, you can split up a larger group into two sub-groups, each combing a different set of stories.
The person who reads and combs needs to have some experience combing and labeling, needs to know the rules that make it easy, and needs to know what to skip and when to toss out stories completely because they are not detailed enough. (I tossed three out of 24 stories on the floor, with a memorable flourish.) The reader has the option to read the stories out loud or to herself. Reading the stories out loud is more of a learning opportunity for the whole team, but takes a lot of time. Reading them to herself saves time, but makes the day less interesting to the other folks in the room. No matter which option she picks, the reader will announce verb+noun labels out loud, indicating which of the folks scribbling is supposed to write it down. With multiple folks scribbling, the reader can call out labels in quick succession, without having to wait for each of them to be completely written down. In today's session we managed to produce about 100 labels in 2 hours.
As each label is generated, another person (or set of people) accepts each label and puts it with other "like" labels, grouping by affinity of behavior. Encourage these folks to group into small groups of 5 or so labels. That's not a hard-and-fast rule–some of our groups had 10 and 20 labels, but most groups had 5 or 6 labels.
Again, it helps to have someone with experience lead this group, as making affinity groups by intent takes practice. Often beginners will end up grouping by the nouns on the sticky notes, like "these are all the labels having to do with using the phone book" and "those are all the labels having to do with comparing the service features." Neither of those are intents. Instead, you might group by "read through a list of names hoping to remember the business I used four years ago" or "figure out why the bids I got are so different."
Another problem beginners run into while grouping is panic to make groups in a short period of time. Usually this surfaces as making up a structure in their heads such as "here's the pre-purchase phase, this over here is the purchase phase, and that's the post-purchase evaluation phase." These are structured labels coming from internal work being done by the team, not labels coming from the stories and intentions captured in the labels.
Once all the stories are read and the labels are written and in rough groups, as a final pass go through these groups and make adjustments. The team I worked with today had a really good grasp of grouping, yet we still spent 40 minutes re-jiggering things and putting the stray emotional label with the behavior that engendered it. As we adjusted things, we made up headings (again using verb+nouns) for each tower of things. We were careful not to make up a heading based on just one label. Instead, we made a solid tower of labels, stared at it for a second, and then made up a heading for it.
As the final step of the day–the one that should take at least half the allotted time, visit each tower and brainstorm ideas for it. Write these ideas up with little notes and align them underneath the tower you are studying. We used red font on sticky notes to easily distinguish an idea from the original set of labels. Start with a tower that seems interesting. Keep brainstorming and building on ideas for that tower until you hit a lull, then move your focus to another tower. You don't have to go in any order. To keep the creative juices flowing, it's better to follow the path of interest. Maybe you will find towers that just aren't exciting, and that's okay. Skip them for now. Come back to them next quarter, because I guarantee your team will come up with enough other ideas to keep you busy for a while.
This lightning quick approach gets your team going in a day. You still get to work with real outside stories from real people. And you move to brainstorming and gap analysis quickly, giving folks in upper management (for whom the word "research" induces queasiness) a sense of confidence and progress.
If you don't feel experienced enough to do the combing on the fly or the grouping and adjustment of the labels, I'm happy to get you going with a bit of personal assistance. I've helped teams produce a perfectly-worded call for stories to send out to their audience segments. A week later, the team will send me the stories they solicited, organized roughly into themes. I will either get on the phone or show up in person to read through the stories and comb out labels, which is where a lot of teams feel unsure of themselves the first time through. Just a few hours of my time helps you feel sure you've got a solid beginning to your mental model. I'm happy to help!

Just yesterday I posted on preserving the the history of the computing field, musing at the end that digitization projects could save a lot of documents.
Well, what comes along today in the latest What's New @ IEEE for Students is a note about the IEEE-USA History Project:
Digital Archives, Organization's Four Decades of Service Unveiled
IEEE-USA is building a digital archive featuring documents and photos of its 36-year history of promoting the careers and public policy interests of U.S. IEEE members. Part of the IEEE-USA History Project, the archive features:
- An overview of the first four decades of IEEE-USA from 1973-2009
- A listing of IEEE-USA's leaders from 1973 to date, including photos of boards of directors from 1998
- A detailed description of IEEE-USA's formation and its first 10 years (1973-1983), including an IEEE Spectrum special report on the constitutional referendum that added professional activities to the IEEE constitution
- A look at IEEE-USA growth and maturity from 1984-1999, with annual reports covering the 15-year period
- A glimpse of IEEE-USA in the 21st Century from 2000-present, including annual reports from 2002-2008, years in review from 2005-2008 and program handbooks for 2007-2008
- Program histories, including IEEE-USA's Student Professional Awareness Conferences (S-PACs)
John Meredith, IEEE-USA's 2007 president, is leading the IEEE-USA History Project. Meredith chaired the 2009 IEEE Conference on the History of Technical Societies, in Philadelphia from 5-7 August, and made a presentation on IEEE-USA history.
Bravo, IEEE!
