Watching US-Iran History in the Making

by Jasmin Ramsey

That tweet via Twitter CEO Dick Costolo in response to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s account of his phone conversation with President Obama summarizes what many people are feeling: today may mark the beginning of a US-Iran detente — or even rapprochement. (Rouhani retweeted Costolo by the way).

I was driving back to Washington, DC from New York City with Jim when all this happened. The Christian Science Monitor’s Scott Peterson (who I saw this week at the UN along with many other journalists I admire) explains today’s events, which, to Jim’s dismay, were also reported on Twitter:

President Rouhani in a plane before departing for Tehran after speaking to President Obama moments before. (via @HassanRouhani)That sentiment was also expressed in Rouhani’s semi-official Twitter account, where he described what Obama told him across three tweets strung together: “I express my respect for you and ppl of #Iran. I’m convinced that relations between Iran and US… will greatly affect region. If we can make progress on #nuclear file, other issues such as #Syria will certainly be positively affected… I wish you a safe and pleasant journey and apologize if you’re experiencing the [horrendous] traffic in #NYC.”

Rouhani described his response to Obama in four tweets: “In regards to #nuclear issue, with political #will, there is a way to rapidly solve the matter… We’re hopeful about what we see from P5+1 and your [government] in particular in coming weeks and months… I express my gratitude for your #hospitality and your phone call. Have a good day Mr. President… Thank you, Khodahafez [God preserve you].”

A final tweet showed a smiling Rouhani on his airplane “after historic phone conversation with @BarackObama…about to depart for Tehran.”

This White House statement by the President following his call with Rouhani — like Zarif’s description of his meeting with Secretary of State John Kerry yesterday — was incredibly positive. It may be the most positive message put out by the US government on Iran since before its 1979 revolution:

Just now, I spoke on the phone with President Rouhani of the Islamic Republic of Iran.  The two of us discussed our ongoing efforts to reach an agreement over Iran’s nuclear program.  I reiterated to President Rouhani what I said in New York — while there will surely be important obstacles to moving forward, and success is by no means guaranteed, I believe we can reach a comprehensive solution.

Meanwhile, Rouhani and Zarif may be receiving a hero’s welcome back home. Here’s how some of the press is reacting:

As well as some average Iranians:

What should we expect next? Well, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be visiting the White House on Sept. 30 and addressing the UNGA on Oct. 1 (he reportedly delayed his speech specifically so he could meet Obama). It has already been suggested that Netanyahu will compare Iran to North Korea at the UN — a continuation of his description of Rouhani as a “wolf in sheep’s clothing”. Israel boycotted Iran’s speech at the UNGA on Tuesday and has been alleging that Iran has been questing for a nuclear weapon for years, so it will be interesting to see if Netanyahu continues this line next week. And then, how will Obama respond to Netanyahu and our sanctions-loving Congress? And for Iran’s part, how will hardliners in Tehran respond to Rouhani and Zarif’s hope-inspiring trip to America? The next talks between Iran and the P5+1 negotiating team are scheduled in Geneva, from Oct. 15- 16. That’s almost two weeks from now, which leaves lots of room for additional significant developments if the pace set by Iran and the US this week continues.

The devil truly is in the details with respect to reaching a mutually acceptable agreement over Iran’s nuclear program. But everything that happened this week while we were at the UN (much of which we tried to recount for you here), and the amazing speed at which 34 years of icy-to-hostile relations between the US and Iran seem to have shifted direction, suggests something very important has taken place.

After Zarif briefed us about his historic bilateral meeting with Kerry at the Asia Society/CFR-hosted conversation with Rouhani last night, the President was asked what he thought of Zarif’s glowing description. His response to Asia Society president Josette Sheeran seems incredibly apt right now:

SHEERAN: Thank you, Mr. Foreign Minister (OFF-MIKE) last word. So now you’ve heard the report. Is this the kind of window of opportunity you were looking for, the first such meeting of this kind in 35 years? What do you take from the process?

ROUHANI (through translator): Well, you asked for the first step. They took it. You asked for the first step. They took it.

  1. History in the making. Let’s hope it’s positive history, not a false start. After all, the M.E. is a large area, and it’s time to seek the peace, rebuild what has been destroyed, mend what needs to be mended, strive for the betterment of all, not just the few. The war mongering needs to come to an end, for they have had their day in the sun, the results of which quite ugly, IMHO. It’s also time for Netanyahoo to resume his position, that he’s not the P.O.T.U.S. Congress too needs to resume its position, that of serving the needs of the United States, not the wants of Israel, regardless of campaign finances!

  2. I am all for constructive dialogue with Iran, but dialogue should be predicated on clear understandings of what the end game should be. In the case of Iran, that end game should be the abandonment of nuclear weapons. Rouhani’s strategy is to get sanctions lifted while achieving the nuclear weapons goal to which he, Khamenei, and the rest of Iran’s Revolutionary elite have been committed to for decades. To do that, he will offer enough in the way of nuclear concessions to stretch out nuclear negotiations into next year while insisting on the right to enrichment. Rouhani bragged about having duped the West in these negotiations. According to a March 2006 Telegraph article, Rouhani boasted that while nuclear talks took place in Tehran with the EU3, Iran was able to complete installation of equipment for conversion, a key stage in the nuclear fuel process, at its Isfahan plant. I am all for constructive dialogue, but dialogue should be predicated on clear understandings of what the end game should be. In the case of Iran, that end game should be the abandonment of nuclear weapons. If Iran wants nuclear power for peaceful uses, it has to submit to inspection and buy fuel rods and not enrich its own. Iran also needs to clean up its human rights record and halt the barbaric practice of public hangings, as well as reopen dissident news media and release political and religious prisoners. Iran also needs to halt its foreign adventures in supporting terror groups and smuggling arms in places like Syria. Dialogue is great, but it means to be meaningful, otherwise it’s like North Korea; a delaying tactic or bargaining chip. Iran has too long a history of saying one thing and doing another and Rouhani is as practiced at it as anyone.

  3. Mr. Lessome’s dialog above reads as if he’s repeating the same calls from the AIPAC/Netanyahoo cabal, which is fine on its face, but if one dissects the paragraph, what is being called for is a complete surrender of its sovereignty. If one looks at every country in the World, one can find some or all of the things he objects too, even Israel. In a phrase: “the pot calling the kettle black”. What happened in the past, should not be repeated. Disarm all WMD’s from the M.E., including Israels, as it’s not in the best interests of any country to have them. If one wants to throw stones at others while living in glass houses, then what do you call what the Zionists have done/are doing?

More Info About Sewer Pipe Relining

Sewer pipe relining is the procedure of repairing pipes by curing them an exclusive form of resin through the inside. Once applied, the resin will take time for stopping and form another, generally, stronger pipe. The core of sewer pipe relining technology will be the resin that is utilised to stop the burst or leaky pipe. Resin-saturated felt tubes manufactured from suitable materials like fibreglass or polyester can be used as resin impregnation. The tube is exactly what is pushed through the pipe that needs relining using epoxy. For insertion to occur, it is essential that this access point be somewhere upstream. While inserting the tube downstream is feasible, it is actually quite risky and it is generally not advised.

This procedure typically makes use of specialised tech that utilises the resin for curing the pipe. However, the resin is typically constructed from a suitable saturated felt material such as fiberglass as well as polyester. This can be typically performed to enable the proprietary epoxy lining to simply proceed and set up directly into place. And the insertion is usually done in the upstream access point.

This innovative procedure is a component of trenchless technology, while there is almost no necessity for digging trenches. This technique of repairs is thus more inexpensive, saves time, when compared to the traditional dig and repair methods used.

UKHH Change Of Publication dates

Greetings all

Well, it was inevitable. New technology comes to UKHH HQ and something goes wrong, but surprisingly, nothing to do with the technology installed!

We seem to have been having issues with the email servers, meaning some people haven’t been able to have their submissions arrive at HQ. So, we have taken the decision to set back this publication release of Issue 41 until 11th July. Then all remaining issues for 2014 set back by a week from their original date to keep the 3 week cycle.

So, this now means there are an extra few days if you would like to submit to Issue 41. Any images, articles or news, please feel free to send them to us at

Thank you all for your patience and understanding.

Open Letter to Federal Candidates in the London, Ontario Area re Proportional Representation

Dear Candidate:

Londoners need to hear about your support for a more proportional voting system.

Last month, 530 academics, including over 30 Canada Research Chairs, signed an open letter calling on the parties to implement a more proportional voting system.

Supporters of a proportional system for Canada are almost unanimously in agreement that a made-in-Canada, proportional solution means we keep local representation, and all candidates face the voters. PR is not one system, it’s a principle - that no matter where you live, your vote should count, and that 39% of the vote should earn roughly 39% of the seats. The last ten Canadian commissions to study the question have recommended PR and 50 year of evidence from around the world strongly correlates proportional systems with higher voter turnout, policies which better reflect voters, stable governments and better representation for women.

Party policy on electoral reform is already well known and does not need repeating. What Londoners need to hear now is your personal commitment to advocate for a more proportional voting system if you are elected on October 19.

Many Londoners will be voting for change on October 19: you and your party stand to benefit from that trend. However that change will not be complete unless we also get a proportional voting system as part of electoral reform as well.

We need your help to “make every vote count” in future elections. We would like to communicate your personal position on Proportional Representation to our organization’s supporters. Please communicate your position on this important issue to us at your earliest convenience.

Meg Borthwick, Robert Cory, Roberta Cory, Geoff Crealock, Margo Does, David Heap, Celeste Lemire, Paula Marcotte, Julie Picken-Cooper, and Aldous Smith

on behalf of the Council of Canadians, London Chapter

welcome on the site of longfeifengwu

The meaning of long fei feng wu is "Flying Dragon Dancing Phoenix". This chinese expression means that things are done in a beautiful and artful way. Originally we find this expression in the art of Calligraphy. Dragon and Phoenix also stand for "Water" and "Fire", which are synonyms for Yin and Yang, the two basic powers of chinese philosophy that are responsible for movement and therefore for Life. By flying and dancing together they create the movement that brings life energy (Qi). This life energy is all around us and also flows through all the energy pathways of our body.

In accordance with name and logo Bernhard Nessensohn and Janet Holtkamp, are aiming at guiding people to come back to their original energy and state of being. Out of that an inner balance can develop and therefore health can be restored. The methods they are using have their origins in oriental and western philosophy and healthcare.

On saturday 1 december we organise a day workshop with my teacher Shifu Zhu Shaofan from Switzerland. Please click here for more information.

Russia’s Role In This Year’s Presidential Election, Explained By A Media Historian

A conversation with Vasily Gotov:

"Russia undoubtedly celebrated the reports in American media about its activities. They want to instill doubt. They want to be part of the agenda. They want to penetrate our media culture. Russian penetration is dramatically overstated in American media, but that only serves them better. It creates the impression that they're more powerful than they are. That discussions like this are necessary at all is a tremendous win for Russia."

Short-Short Saturday: A Good Old-Fashioned Friendship

Mark Twain and John T. Lewis in 1903.  (Source: Library of Congress)

Mark Twain and John T. Lewis in 1903.        (Source: Library of Congress)

In yesterday’s post, I mentioned a black farmer named John Lewis who played an important role in helping to return an altar Bible taken as a battlefield souvenir during the Civil War’s Battle of Antietam.

The tale of do-gooder John Lewis gets more interesting.  Here’s the short-short of it (available in more detail at various places on the world wide web):

John T. Lewis was a freeman living in the slave holding society of 1850s Maryland.  In 1860, with the civil war approaching, Lewis left the Old Line State (that’s Maryland, My Maryland) for Pennsylvania before pressing on to Elmira, New York, in 1864 to work as a coachman and farmer.

One evening in 1877, John Lewis was driving his two-horse wagon home when he rescued a runaway carriage bearing Ida Langdon, her daughter Julia, and a nursemaid.  Who was Ida Langdon?  The sister-in-law of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, a.k.a. Mark Twain.

Later, Twain frequently referred to Lewis as an honest friend worthy of respect.  Their friendship spanned some thirty years, and it is speculated that Lewis was the inspiration of Twain’s character “Jim,” a runaway black slave in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Woodpecker Holes

Woodpecker holes can be a big pain.  What should you do if you have woodpecker holes on your home’s siding? It is amazing to see how much damage animals, insects, and birds can do to your home. So let’s take woodpecker holes and how do we treat them.

Creative Ways to Deter Woodpeckers

I find that a lot of homeowners have put up the fake owls to deal with their woodpecker holes.  Sometimes even tried various sources of electronic devices out to keep away birds. Some can be successful, and others seem to be a complete waste of time and money. I find in most cases, woodpeckers will come back especially if they are nesting in the area.

DIY Ways to Fix Woodpecker Holes

The main focus is protecting your siding once the damage has been done. So we treat the woodpecker holes pretty simply. We like to fill them with caulk. We either apply a colored caulk to match the siding or a clear caulk if we are not re-staining the existing surface. But we also run into the same challenge with carpenter bees making holes in your siding.

Carpenter Bees & Other Birds Making Holes Bigger

If you don’t treat these holes, then other birds will piggyback off of the woodpeckers or carpenter bees and start opening the hole bigger and living in your fascia or siding. The holes might be very unsightly, and if not taken care of, can become a much bigger problem down the road.

When Should You Replace Whole Board?

When you have many cedar siding boards with holes caulked up from these creatures, you should eventually have a contractor come out to replace the whole board altogether. Don’t allow extra tenants living in your home’s siding that may not be paying your rent. So I’d like to stress that you fill up those woodpecker or carpenter bee holes right away to avoid future problems.

Thanks again for joining me. Send in your Burning Questions, and I will put them out.

Don’t forget, if you need an estimate on repairing or replacing your wood siding, give me a call. My team and I have been serving Downers Grove, Oakbrook Terrace, Elmhurst, Lombard, Carol Stream, Westmont, Willowbrook, Woodridge, and all of the Chicago area for 30+ years.

Andover Radio will compère the evening, and there will be rides and attractions, children’s face painting, stilt walking reindeers and lots of delicious food to keep you warm in the countdown to Christmas.

The evening will culminate in the Christmas Lights switch on at 7.30pm followed by a grand firework display provided by The Chantry Centre, with the Christmas tree and lights from the Andover Town Council.

Leader of the Council, Councillor Phil North, said: “The Andover Christmas Lights Switch On is one of the premier family friendly events in Andover’s calendar, and marks the beginning of festivities for the High Street.

This is the perfect example of local organisations working in collaboration with Test Valley Borough Council to put on an event which showcases Andover at its best.”

Children’s Capers and Writing

“Mummy, mummy!”

The soft cloud I’m sleeping on bounces up and down, jolting me out of the Land of Nod. I crack open one eye and peer at the cherub perched on the edge of my bed. “Wha?” I mumble then close my eye and hope she takes the hint to go away.

The bouncing continues. “Is it my turn to get the mail? Rebekah says it’s her turn to get the mail. Why don’t I get a turn?”

Rebekah thinks every day is her turn. I crack open my eye again peer out the window behind my bed. There is daylight, the kind that has just fought a valiant battle with night and is leading its way across the sky. Our postie is punctual and enthusiastic, but I doubt even he is up this early. My mind shrugs off sleep and I blink, trying to remember what day it is. Wednesday I think. Maybe Thursday. No, it is Thursday I need to do my bible study. “Yes, today is your turn. But I don’t think the mail has been yet, Rachel.”

“Okay!” She half falls off my bed and I hear her footsteps pound the wood floor. The screen door slams then I hear the click of the front gate followed by the slam of the mailbox. My children have an over-enthusiasm for collecting the mail. So much so I’ve had to put them on a roster to collect it. Eldest on Monday, 2nd child on Tuesday and so forth. Having 4 children means Friday ends up a day for someone who has missed a turn or I have a turn and spend 10 minutes chatting with the postie and swapping yarns. Ah. This sort of thing will have to make it into a book someday. I’m sure. 🙂

Fast forward a few hours…

Schoolwork around the kitchen table.

I listen to one child read, prod another to

‘Do your math! Please, build the next question!’

Explain why Australia went to war (is there any comfortable or rational explanation for that?).

And.. wait… back! I glance over at child no. 2 as he reads. A word catches my eye. It sounded fine as he read it, but…

“That’s the wrong spelling!” I exclaim. “Give me that book!” He grins, happy to get out of reading and hands the book over. All the other children gather around and I re-read the sentence, poking the offending word with a finger. Then follows a discussion as I scribble the different ways that word can be spelled on paper and what they mean. Of course they then chime in with examples in movies they’ve seen or how so-and-so did this (which is now hopelessly off track topic-wise, but nonetheless interesting). I shoo them back to their work and we carry on with work.

A picture tells a thousand words…

My two youngest on the left, a cousin on the right and my eldest forehead in the bottom right in our 8 seater Ford stationwagon. That day was fun. Sort of. Now when I look back on it… We spent the whole day cleaning a house and packing up my sister to move. So all the last minute things got shoved in my car (no room in hers. We were running out of room to put plates near the end of the day and both of us pack really well!) Then we realised.. oh, 8 seats and we had 7 children between us and 2 adults. Those of us who can add will realise that someone has to run behind. Only thing is… my house is over 50kms away. No problem. Two children can share a seatbelt. Then we realised that mum had deposited some money in my account. And seeing as we were in a town that has a Woolies….That means food shopping! So $200 in food later we head out to the car. Pack the children in first, seatbelts on, then start packing shopping around them. That was interesting! When we drove off we had: 2 adults in the front seats (I had room at my feet and that’s only cos I needed to use the pedals), 4 in the backseat–that’s including the baby seat, no feet space, at least 2-3 mops and brooms next to them and a mower and catcher. (yes, you read that right.), the boot seat had 3 children and the rest of the $200 bucks worth of shopping. Oh, and tucked somewhere in all of that was a maltese terrier dog. 🙂 Good thing there wasn’t many bumps on the way home, I’m sure I would have felt the car bottom out on every bump otherwise. 🙂

Very happy to not repeat that experience. However some poor unsuspecting character might. Not sure how in a historical setting… but I’m sure I’ll find a way!

After dinner I’m knee deep in editing and critiques. Add in more detail of storefronts of buildings. I squint at the comment again and sigh. I mean, can’t the characters just walk on into the shop without noticing the surroundings… No? Well, that means some research then of 1881 mercantile storefronts. I’ll start by googling… My fingers hesitate above my laptop keys. Or, will I? I smile and lean over to my oldest daughter is sitting cross legged on my bed next to me.

I nudge her with my elbow. “Hey, what do store front’s on old streets look like?”

She pulls a headphone out of her ear and looks at me. “What?”

I refrain from rolling my eyes. This is an expert at old movies. If it’s an old movie and suitable for under 13’s then she’s probably seen it. A picture tells a thousand words… “I said, what do the store front’s on shops in old movies look like?”

“Ah!” Her eyes light up and she launches into descriptions of buildings, people and most importantly–mercantile stores.

My fingers speed across the keyboard, trying to keep up. Eventually she runs out of breath and quiets. I finish typing my sentence and look at her. “Thanks!”

She nods. “No problem. I like movies.”

This time I do roll my eyes. “I know.”

She sticks her headphones back in and goes back to her ipod. I review what I’ve typed up and smile. Perfect. And better yet, I can imagine what they look like thanks to the memory jog of the different movies these are set in. I begin rewording and adjusting what I’ve written, a sappy smile I’m sure plastered on my face.

I love research.

I love writing… and

I love my children. They help me write–and yes, sometimes they don’t help me write. They help with research and they listen when I ramble on about my ‘cool’ idea for a character. They provide oodles of examples of how people react to each other, and the funny stuff they do provide lots of examples for my writing.

How about you? Do you have children? Nieces, nephews? Some random child who walks past at 3pm every day with his blue cap on backwards and a butterfly on a string. Do they provide inspiration for you stories? Quirks for characters? A giggle for levity?

I know mine do. 🙂

Sumo wrestling next to our lake. They were so hilarious as they attempted to swat each other. Then they’d totter on their matchlike legs. Teeter…then… timberrrrr! Splat. They’d hit the mat. Usually face first. Far too much padding to get hurt. But my goodness they were so funny I could barely keep the camera straight. I had to take pictures, that way I can giggle later at inopportune times in memory. Don’t worry, they loved it. 🙂

My guest today is British author Jim Webster. Welcome, Jim. Please tell us about yourself.

Jim Webster

Lyn, thank you for hosting me today. I’m Jim Webster, fifty something (but not alas for much longer), married with a wife and three adult daughters. I live in South Cumbria, England, just outside the ship building town of Barrow in Furness.

I farm, have done all my life, and I also do freelance journalism, and I’ve done consultancy as well to help keep the wolf from the door.

I’m a lover of ancient history, and have been a wargamer and role-player since the early 1970s.

I have no dress sense and a bad attitude to buying clothes.

If you want to know more about me or my book, I’m relatively easy to find. See my links at the end of this post.

How did you begin writing?

It was quite simple. I was working with my parents on a small farm, just trying to make a living and I needed an income. ‘Non-essential’ things like food production don’t pay well. So I drifted into freelance journalism. Why I began writing books? I was lucky, I got a chance, I’d done a bit of consultancy and as a contract came to an end I suddenly found I had time as the work diminished by the money didn’t and in that window I wrote my first book.

Did someone inspire you to write? Who and how?

An author I’ve always admired and who probably has had a considerable influence on my work and the way I view the universe is Jack Vance. It was his skill in somehow convincing you of the depth of his perception of the world he was describing with just a few sentences that really inspired me.

What’s your best time of day to write? On average, how many hour a day do you write?

Quite literally I’ve written at all times. I’ve even worked in the middle of the night and switched the computer on because there was something that I needed to get down. As for how many hours, I genuinely don’t know. I still farm and do other things so there are days when I don’t write, or write articles on such things as the bite size of dairy cows or the best ways of preventing summer mastitis.

Describe your favorite place to write.

I write in the office, at the desk-top computer. I like desk-top computers, they don’t follow you around when you’re busy, whining that you haven’t checked your email or looked at Facebook.

Do you ever wear your PJs or nightgown all day while writing?

No. I milked cows for thirty years, when my feet hit the floor in the morning I’m awake and two minutes later I’m dressed.

Can you write amid noisy distractions or do you need absolute quiet?

If it’s too noisy I tend to put music on; familiar music that acts as ‘white noise’. I don’t need to concentrate on the music but it does blot out most of the noise.

Do you use a pen name? If so, how did you choose it?

I’ve only used a pen name twice. This was when an editor was desperate and I’d written several articles for the same issue of his magazine. But it doesn’t look good if too big a proportion of a magazine is written by the same person. Readers tend to raise a quizzical eyebrow and the writer starts to get above himself and expect paying. So a couple of the articles were published under the name of a role-playing character of mine.

Are your books published by a large publishing house or small press? If so, how did you come to be with this publisher?

Safkhet are a small press. Basically I did it all wrong and broke all the rules. A friend told me they were looking for somebody to write Sci-Fi. So I emailed them saying ‘Hi’ and included the links to the books I’d self published on Amazon and basically said “This is what I can do, what do you want?”

This approach almost never works and should be avoided by sensible people.

Are you a plotter or a pantser? Why?

I tend to have certain incidents that I know will occur, and a gut feeling of how the story will look. Then my characters and I indulge in a process that could be likened to ‘downhill skiing in the dark’ as we try to hit all the incidents, ideally in the order I originally had in mind.

How do you develop your plots and your characters?

I walk a lot, chewing over various issues, trying to work out how a character would react, what an intelligent person would do next, and how everybody else will react to how they reacted.

Does your significant other and/or family support your writing career?

Fiscally over our married life my Lady Wife and I seem to have taken turns to be the main bread winner. Moral support, yes, whilst she doesn’t read my books she has always backed me.

Have you ever written a book together with another author?

I’m not sure you’d called a role-playing supplement a book? But yes, I co-wrote the Scaum Valley Gazetteer.

Do you have critique partners and/or beta readers?

I’ve been lucky to have someone I can bounce books off and who gives me an honest opinion, and proof reads them at the same time.

Are your books professionally edited? Who designs your book covers?

Yes, I pay an editor. I’ve been lucky with my covers, I’m totally inept at anything artistic, but I’ve fallen on my feet with finding publishers who could do it for me.

How do you unwind and relax when not writing?

I do love walking.

What project(s) are you working on now?

I’m currently on the fourth book about the Tsarina Sector, I know what’s going to happen (ish) but I’m only about a quarter of the way in.

Now please tell us about your latest release.

Justice 4.1

It’s Justice 4.1 (The Tsarina Sector. This is the first SF book I’ve written and is set on the planet of Tsarina that is quite literally at the edge of the galaxy. The story centres around Haldar Drom who is an investigator working in the Governor’s Office. It’s a combination of detective story and adventure yarn, it probably falls neatly into the category of ‘Space Opera.’

When a journalist is shot down in a backward area of Tsarina, Haldar Drom of the Governor’s Investigation Office is sent to investigate. He uncovers a hidden medical facility dedicated to the production of Abate, a drug used for population control, as well as evidence of the implantation of pre-created embryos in women brought to Tsarina for the purpose. He also discovers a deeper plot with far reaching political ramifications. A senior member of the Governor’s family, Doran Stilan is running a personal feud with the major pirate/Starmancer Wayland Strang. Indeed he begins to suspect that Stilan may even be angling to take Stang’s place.

The medical facility is destroyed after it is attacked by mercenaries hired by Strang, and Drom has to travel off world to untangle the treads of the conspiracy.

Arriving back on Tsarina, he has to deal with a failed Starmancer attack, punish the guilty and arrange for Doran Stilan to get what’s coming without undermining the position of the Governor. To do this, he’ll need skill, know-how and a whole lot of luck to ensure that the guilty face justice.

  1. OOOO, sounds like a great book!

  2. Jim, my laptop just followed me to the bedroom!
    It’s nice to ‘meet’ you here and thanks, Lyn, for the nice interview.

    • You see, they’re worse than cats or children. Plug them into the wall and make sure they know their place.

      (Note this advice works with computers but I don’t recommend it with cats or children 😉 )

  3. Oh I shall drop in here unannounced more frequently 🙂

  4. Fine interview. I’ve just bought Justice 4.1 – indeed, I was thoroughly pissed off, on the plane over here, to discover I hadn’t downloaded it before. I was absolutely convinced I had.

    Everyone else reading this, Jim’s books are really good. I can definitely recommend them.

Tag Archives: change your clock

Spring forward; did you change your clocks?

This is the time of year I find to be hard on my inner clock. I don’t much like losing an hour’s sleep. It takes me awhile to adjust.

Tonight – actually at 2:00 AM Sunday morning, March 13 – we set our clocks ahead one hour. If you are in Saskatchewan, Canada – or in the USA in Hawaii or somewhere in “most of” Arizona – your clock goes along as usual; no time change for you.  And it seems that in Europe it doesn’t happen until March 27.

remember to change your clock or you will be arriving an hour late to church or wherever you have to be on Sunday.

Have you ever forgotten to change your clock and as a result you arrived somewhere an hour late?

Thanks for reading, and … Creative Musings!

Jamie’s Ministry of Food (JMoF) have paused face-to-face classes from their mobile kitchens and Ipswich centre, instead switching all classes to an online offering.

JMoF’s new virtual cooking classes are being rolled out following a successful pilot, providing the option for individuals, families and children to cook along from the comfort of their own kitchens.

“Local residents from Ipswich, Logan and surrounds have been hugely supportive of Jamie’s Ministry of Food from the beginning. We are looking forward to launching our new virtual offering and are sure it will spark the same interest and passion in the community,” Good Foundation CEO Siobhan Boyle said.

“We will also be creating virtual hubs so we can maintain our close connection to local communities, especially those we weren’t able to reach through our physical centres and mobile kitchens.”

Over 5 sessions participants will learn to make key recipes that cover every meal from breakfast to dinner. Taught by professional food trainers via a live interactive video chat, participants will learn knife skills and techniques to make it simpler and quicker to cook delicious meals on a budget.

Participants will learn how to bring the best flavours out of fresh ingredients and how-to meal plan on a budget, so your food goes further.

The virtual program will run as 30 minute sessions, over a period of 4 days.

Ninja Warrior winner’s big secret

A golf-mad, geeky redhead barely out of his teens who weighs in at a slight 68kgs has become the unlikely first-ever winner of Australian Ninja Warrior.

While Charlie Robbins didn't make it up the course's fabled Mount Midoriyama, he was the furthest and fastest to compete in Monday night's second grand final, taking home a tidy $100,000 in the process.

This year's Ninja Warrior would see a winner crowned regardless of if they finished the course after the previous two seasons experienced a fan backlash for "anti-climatic" finishes.

$300,000 was still up for grabs if one of the ninjas finished the course but in lieu of that $100,000 would be given to whoever made it furthest fastest.

In a nail biting finish, four out of the five competitors who'd made it to the final stage of the grand final had fallen at the exact same obstacle - Robbins, Josh O'Sullivan, Bryson Klein and Daniel Mason. This meant their speed became the deciding factor in picking a winner. Robbins had reached the 'floating doors' obstacle first, so he took home the $100k.

Earlier, Ninja favourite Ashlin Herbert provided the night's biggest shock, falling surprising early during the first stage of the grand final.

Herbert slipped from the 'Salmon Ladder' obstacle, but recovered without falling in the pool - but his fall was an automatic disqualification. In awkward scenes, Herbert continued along the course, ignoring his disqualification until presenter Freddie Flintoff pleaded with him to stop.

Australian Ninja Warrior has its first winner.
Australian Ninja Warrior has its first winner.

Chatting to after his win, the softly-spoken 20-year-old said he wasn't too sure what to do with the money, beyond a planned European holiday starting this weekend.

Robbins was the true surprise package of Ninja Warrior season three - while other competitors were introduced with awe-inspiring footage showing their tireless hours spent training, Robbins' intro instead showed him golfing with a group of elderly friends, including his 71-year-old grandfather Taffy.

All those Ninja skills, just from golfing? Not quite.

"I've been doing gymnastics since I was four years old, and I started training on ninja-specific obstacles about two, two-and-a-half years ago. When I was growing up, I played pretty much every sport - footy, cricket - but I ended up sticking with golf and gymnastics," Robbins told

Indeed, Robbins' Instagram reveals golfing with grandad is but one part of the keen athlete's sporting regimen:

But hoping to stand out in the crowd, Robbins wore his golfing outfit to his initial audition for the show - and stuck with it once he got in.

It was a canny way to defy expectations - viewers expect great things of shirtless musclebound contestants like Jack Wilson or Ryan Solomon, whereas a goofy guy in a golfer's flat cap is sure to be underestimated.

"It was pretty funny talking to people - everyone said, 'Oh we thought you were going to do terribly and fall off on the first obstacle, but you absolutely smashed it!'," he said.

Robbins is one of several "underdog" contestants to do remarkably well in a season that could just as easily have been titled Australian Ninja Warrior: Revenge of the Nerds. He said his success was proof having an Instagram influencer's rippling physique didn't automatically translate to success on the show.

"I think being fairly lightweight is an advantage - and having a gymnastics background helps heaps. I don't think putting on as much muscle as you can is necessarily going to help you," he said.

"Experience on the course definitely helps too; stepping up on the heats I was shaking because I was so nervous. At the semis I felt so much more comfortable and by the grand finals I felt more comfortable again."

Robbins may not have looked the part, but he’s Australian Ninja Warrior’s first winner.
Robbins may not have looked the part, but he’s Australian Ninja Warrior’s first winner.

Luck surely plays a part in every run too - just look at the show's most successful female contestant Olivia Vivian, on track for a place in the grand final before one poorly-timed jump on a trampoline saw her crash out of the competition. Robbins admitted he'd come very close to meeting a similar fate.

"One millimetre to the wrong side of the rolling log or the tuning forks and you're in the water. In stage one of the grand final, I pretty much slipped off the propeller (obstacle), but somehow the rope ended up in my hand. I was like 'What just happened?' I was shocked. That's the luckiest thing that's ever happened to me."

And while Ninja Warrior obstacles are designed to test human limits, Robbins revealed the biggest challenge actually happened off the course. He admits he "wasn't prepared" for the interminable waiting that comes with making television. His first day of shooting started at 7.39am with a photo shoot and interview.

"Then I was sitting in the city all day until it was time to head to the course. They take you through the safety briefing - and then you're just sitting around for hours and hours and hours. That was probably the biggest shock for me, and it wasn't much fun just sitting there doing nothing," he said.

Robbins finally ran the course at around 1.30am, some 16 hours after his day had started.

"It was really, really hard and I definitely wasn't prepared for it. You don't know when you're (running) - they'll come in and grab five people at a time. Each time you go 'This could be me, better get excited!' And then it's not you.

"I did that about 20 times over. It's pretty exhausting."

Embroidery, Updates

Bluebonnets in Texas Towel

I feel like it’s been a minute since I last posted about what has been going on in the embroidery department. Needless to say, despite starting up a farm, canning, and refinishing furniture, I’m still stitching away. I’m upping the inventory in the Texas Towel Collection.

Texas Towel Collection

I’ve been slowly adding to the Texas Towel Collection. A couple of years ago, I designed these Bluebonnet in Texas towels and tested them out at the La Vallita Starving Artist Show. They flew out of my booth! I was completely sold out on the first day of the two-day event.

I’m looking forward to having the listed in the shop soon. You know, after I do a complete revamp that I’ve started this past weekend. If you cannot wait until the shop is up and running again, go ahead and contact me. I can get one shipped out to you!

Restaurant – minibar

I am going to preface everything in this post by saying that I am a very lucky girl, and that it was a privilege to be able to go to this restaurant.  It’s not necessarily the kind of thing that everyone can do in their lives, and even for us it was a special occasion and a special treat.  But I still want to share the experience because it was that cool.  /preface

As you know part of the time I was on maternity leave I spent watching Chef’s Table on Netflix.  Watching that show made me want to experience something cool and special like the restaurants and chefs I saw profiled in each episode.  And knowing that I had a significant birthday coming up (35 feels like more meaningful than other numbers), and how the Boy and I had been to a really special restaurant last year for his birthday, I wanted to do something similar.  And the most special and most interesting restaurant in DC that I know of and have wanted to visit for some time is minibar.

Minibar is a Jose Andrés restaurant, and I’m a big fan of his – in addition to being an amazing chef, he’s a humanitarian, and all around good guy.  I’ve even written about another of his restaurants here in the past, and had even noted in that post that I hadn’t been to minibar.  So it feels like the culmination of a local restaurateur fandom to finally be able to have a meal at minibar.

I could probably write ad nauseum about what it was like to be there, but really, it’s something you need to experience for yourself.  The Boy and I did minibar’s 20+ course tasting menu (which is the only choice), and did “the experience” wine pairing to go with it.  It was not cheap, and yet it was worth every penny.  It’s the kind of memory that will last us a lifetime, and I now get to say (in a very braggy sort of way) that I’ve been to two 2-star Michelin guide restaurants.

I will say that I was more open to trying new foods for this meal, and those that I have distinctly said I don’t like in the past.  Part of this is because you don’t want to be “that girl” who is picky and won’t try something, and also because the menu items are the best tested versions of what the chefs there have created.  Asking for an alternative because I don’t like one ingredient feels petulant.

So without further commentary, let me show you 90% of our dinner and just encourage you that if you have the means, let this restaurant be something you put on your list of “things to do and places to go”.

A Suggested Change

Recommended Posts

I just got off work, so im relatively tired and mildly mad. This is just an idea I had on the way home, and I wanted to know how the community feels about it.

As things stand (And if memory serves) the only way to level up spells is to go deeper into the WP Shop and obtain them a 2nd time.

My proposal is simple (In concept, maybe not so much so in coding, I wouldnt know) and its goal is progression of game, self, and the creation of goals in general.

I think it would be for the better of MD if spells leveled up progressively, with or without a limit, scaling time+casts per level to level up by use.

An example would be the Give Vital spell. Lets say for the sake of the example, its level 1. Lets also say that to get to level 2, one must cast Give Vital 10 times.

To get this spell from level 2 to 3, it would take 20 casts, so on and so forth.

Strength of spell and spell cast count would raise by either a percentile or static amount, per level.

Again, this is just the Wolf being sporadic, but please Community, chime in, let me know what you think.

Personally I understand this idea and I like it but the problem I keep on seeing in MD is people seem to try to shift the game to more traditional game culture. For that reason I can agree from a game play stand point but have to also disagree on principle.

With that reasoning I have to remain neutral in this and abstain for the time being.

Not a huge fan, as it would mean people would cast spells for no particular reason other than to level up their spell.

How would it work in terms of spells like teleport to GoE?

Say for example, someone had a high level of Silvertongue - a spell that I personally love and wish had an insanely long duration, but most people hate (because many people can't actually read/load the font). There are only three aspects to Silvertongue: The font, which can't really level up, the heat boost which can totally level up, and the duration, which can also level up. Say someone had a super high level Silvertongue that had a 3 hour duration - I would love that cast on me, but if someone was running an event and had it cast on them, it ruins the event for a lot of people, and 3 hours is a crazy duration. Or, if it was the heat aspect that was leveled up, someone could cast it on someone so they could rapidly gain loyalty and take over an alliance (already possible, actually, but you get the point - it makes it probable instead of unlikely)

My point is, a lot of the limits on spells are in place to prevent them becoming too overpowered to be counter able.

Neat idea, and I would love to see more level for spells, but realistically problematic.

I could agree with this Upgrade of spells if the spells would be available to ALL players.

But, as only a few have access to spell and those spells regenerate with no work / extra payment from the players ... then it is not fair.

Also, the spells are configured to a "proper" level. What would you say about a lock in chaos for 4-6h ? An attack lock for 4-6h ?

So, no, the upgrade of spell by using them them is not a valid suggestion.

See also Kyphys' answer above.

i think spells are abilities to influence md world and change it. Spells should be granted based on certain skills, these skills are shown by obtaining wishpoints. People that are able to obtain wishpoints should get more powerful spells, not those that use them more, nor should spell level increase by itself over time or other actions.

Obtaining a spell is also a matter of choice, when you have a wishpoint to spend you get more options on what to spend it. This is important.

Odd issue with proxy_pass serving wrong cached data

Brian Hill hillb at yosemite.edu
Fri Feb 28 00:55:43 UTC 2014

Interestingly, this will teach me not to leave out "irrelevant" bits of my config files when posting them. My configs failed to include a few items like ModSecurity, because it didn't occur to me that they could have any impact on the problem I was describing. As it turns out, disabling ModSecurity solved the problem. I'm still not sure why ModSecurity is causing NGINX to serve bad data on reloads, but it's clearly a ModSecurity issue or a problem with the communication between ModSecurity and NGINX.

Looking into logs usually helps a lot.

Symptoms suggest most likely you've run out of local ports on nginx host due to sockets in TIME-WAIT state (and you have no tw_reuse/tw_recycle switched on), but it's hard to tell anything exact from the information you've provided.

The best and cheapest IPTV setup boxes

Are you seeking to purchase a new IPTV box? The selection between all these IPTV boxes can be overwhelming. You have to analyze mainstream merchandises such as Amazon Fire TV and Android TV box, but also less well-known (but sometimes more fitting) devices like MAG boxes. What is STB?

We’re going to help you to make the best decision and make sense of it all. Here are the five best IPTV boxes that we reviewed for you.

Nvidia Shield TV

If you need an IPTV set-top box that operates on Android, it’s difficult to contend that anything other than the Nvidia Shield TV is the best-in-class. It’s a device that’s excellent for cord-cutters of all divisions.

In extension to signifying an IPTV box, the Nvidia Shield TV can also increase as a Plex server, a gaming console, a web browser, a Chromecast, and more.
Specs-wise, a Shield TV proposes 4K HDR playback at 60FPS, an Nvidia Tegra X1 processor, 3GB of RAM, and both 16GB or 500GB of storage.

Nvidia shield

The most important downside to an Nvidia Shield TV is the price. It might not be the most reasonable IPTV set-top box to put in every room in your house based on the price tag on this box, however, it’s one the best options available on the market.

Formuler Z8

If you are ready to spend a large amount of cash, another IPTV set-top box worth acknowledging is the Formuler Z8. Like the Shield, it’s an Android-based IPTV box. How to setup IPTV on Enigma2 via MYTV Online app?

Related :   Hardwares you need for watching IPTV_files

The Formuler Z8 gives a few enhancements over its forerunner, the Z7. Most distinctly, there’s now a gigabit port for ultra-fast connections. There’s also an all-new MyTvOnline app to browse electronic program guides (EPGs), a new user interface, and a newly-designed glow-in-the-dark remote.

A Formuler Z8 box isn’t perfect though. There’s no local way to install Android TV versions of other streaming apps like Netflix or Plex.
Some workarounds let you run the mobile versions, but users commonly report problems in different forums. Playback resolution will be limited to 480p, the interface does not scale well, and crashes are usual.

Infomir MAG322 W1

If you just want to view IPTV and are not involved in running apps like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, it might be more reasonable to opt for a MAG box. The most advanced MAG box to hit the market is the MAG322. How to setup IPTV on a MAG device?

To be fair, there is no way to install Android apps on a MAG box. All versions of the MAG boxes run Linux. Infomir has produced its devices especially concentrated on recreating a conventional cable TV experience.

The MAG322’s other specialties include HEVC support, 3D video support, 512MB of RAM, 512MB of flash memory, and a MIPS 4KE dual-core processor.
Recent reports suggest Infomir has been blocking portals. Moreover, the MAG322 does not support VPNs or subtitles.

Fire TV Stick 4K

The first Fire TV Stick wasn’t strong enough to really be rated among the best IPTV set-top boxes, but the rebooted 4K version comes with upgraded specs. It’s now a serious contender.
If you want to use a Fire Stick for IPTV, you’ll need to download and use a third-party Android IPTV app. There are lots of excellent apps to choose from, but Perfect Player is arguably the most widespread app among the community. How to setup IPTV on Perfect player Android?

Related :   How to setup IPTV on Android using IPTV Smarters app?

fire tv stick

The Fire TV Stick 4K is Alexa-enabled, offers 8GB of storage, supports Bluetooth headphones, and can connect to your router via an ethernet cable if you buy an adaptor.

Dreamlink T2

The Dreamlink T2 is an IPTV Android box with great EPG functionality and the capability to install non-streaming Android apps.
Firstly, if size implies to you, it’s one of the best IPTV boxes you will find. The device will easily fit in the palm of your hand and can be easily stored away even in the most restricted of conditions. How to setup IPTV on Dreamlink T1-T2 box with the DOL2?

With 8GB of storage capacity, the Dreamlink T2 simply rivals some of its more famous rivals. The box has a maximum resolution of 2160p and includes Ethernet, HDMI, and USB ports. There’s even a microSD card slot—something that’s shifting frequently rare on top-of-the-range IPTV boxes.

dreamlink t2

The biggest downside is the 1GB of RAM. The device needs a little more power if it wants to be a serious option to the best-in-class Nvidia Shield TV.

The Best IPTV Box for You

Buying one of the best IPTV boxes is only part of the challenge of receiving live TV from the web and we hope this guide has helped you in this matter.

If you want to watch IPTV on your TV, you will also need to install some IPTV apps. Softwares you need for watching IPTV

> The Waterdaughters > Songs > John Ball

John Ball

[Sydney Carter]

John Kirkpatrick and Sydney Carter sang the latter's song John Ball in 1981 on the Plant Life LP Lovely in the Dances: Songs of Sydney Carter.

Dave Webber sang John Ball in 1993 on his and Anni Fentiman's album Together Solo. They noted:

This character from English History was a radical Priest and was imprisoned for his incitement of the people leading up to the Peasants Revolt in 1381.

The “Waterdaughters” (Lal Waterson and her daughter Maria, and Norma Waterson and her daughter Eliza Carthy) recorded Sydney Carter's carol John Ball in 1998. It was included as a bonus track on the CD re-release of A True Hearted Girl and in 2004 on the Watersons' 4CD anthology Mighty River of Song. This may well be Lal Waterson's last published recording.

Bob Hudson notes:

Sydney Carter, best known for having written the lyrics to Lord of the Dance, wrote John Ball in 1981 to commemorate the six hundredth anniversary of the Peasant's Revolt (1381; also called “Wat Tyler's Rebellion”). John Ball himself was a priest who found in Wycliffe's translation of the Bible into English new hope for an egalitarian England. [Note. Both Walsingham's Historia Anglicana and the Chronicon Angliae claim that John Ball, priest, taught the “perverted doctrine” (perversa dogmata) and the “false ravings” (insanias falsas) of John Wyclif, whom Walsingham elsewhere describes as “vetus hypocrita, angelus Sathanae, antichristi praeambulans” (an old hypocrite, Satan's angel, a walking antichrist) as well as a heretic with “dampnatas opiniones.” See Chronicon Angliae, ed. E. M. Thompson (Rolls Series 64, 1874), p. 281; Historia Anglicana, ed. H. T. Riley (Rolls Series 28.1), 2:32. For another setting of this theme, see the moral lyric beginning “When adam delf & eue span, spir, if thou wil spede” from Cambridge Univ. MS Dd. 5. 64, III (fols. 35v-36r), as printed in Religious Lyrics of the XIVth Century, ed. Carleton Brown and rev. G. V. Smithers, 2nd ed. (Oxford: Clarendon, 1957), pp. 96-97; Index § 3921. The theme is proverbial. See Whiting, Proverbs, § A38.] Some modern scholars claim that the few fragments of John Ball's verse that survive are, in fact, the first flowering of political poetry and protest song in English. He is, in a sense, the direct literary ancestor of such modern figures as Woody Guthrie, Allen Ginsberg, Ewan MacColl, and Bob Dylan. Ball's most famous poetic assertion, referred to in Carter's song, is:

Whan Adam dalf, and Eve span,
Wo was thanne a gentilman?
[When Adam dug, and Eve spun,
Who was then the gentleman?]

[Note: Walsingham and especially Froissart describe how Ball preached egalitarian doctrine.]

The implication here, of course, is that the existence of a landed gentry and a noble class have no justification in Scripture and should be overthrown. Ball was executed in 1381 for his efforts in behalf of English working people, and he has since become something of a folk hero. Victorian poet and artist William Morris wrote a story called “The Dream of John Ball” that used Ball as a focal point for Morris's own intense socialism.

Mark Olson sag John Ball in 2007 on Migrating Bird: The Songs of Lal Waterson.

Grace Notes (Maggie Boyle, Lynda Hardcastle, and Helen Hockenhull) sang John Ball in 2001 on their Fellside CD Anchored to the Time. Lynda Hardcastle noted:

I found this Sydney Carter song in a children's music book (Tinderbox, A&C Black) during a concerted effort to find something more up-tempo. John Ball was a priest and one of the leaders in the Peasant's Revolt in the 14th century. He preached common property, equality and the extermination of the nobility(!). All men, he said, originated from Adam and Eve. He is quoted as saying “When Adam delf and Eve span, who was then the gentleman?” John Ball was imprisoned, excommunicated and finally hanged in 1381. Sydney Carter has written a number of rousing songs and when we tested this at our local folk club (The Famous Bacca Pipes in Keighley) the great chorus singers there certainly raised the rafters.

This video show Grace Notes singing John Ball at the Ram Club, Thames Ditton, Surrey in February 2011:

Danny Spooner sang John Ball on his 2008 CD Brave Bold Boys. He noted:

John Ball was written in 1981 by Sydney Carter to commemorate the 600th anniversary of the Peasants' Revolt in England in 1381. John Ball was a priest and follower of Wycliffe, in whom he saw the hope of an egalitarian England. Ball was accused of “perversa dogmata and insanias falsas” (perverse doctrine and false ravings). His studies of Wycliffe's English translation of the Bible had led him to believe that nowhere did it advocate monarchy or aristocracy. He was imprisoned for preaching these ideas but was released by the peasants as they marched on London. Unfortunately, the rebellion was defeated and John Ball died for his beliefs. His attitude towards a hierarchical nobility was summed up in a beautiful couplet which he wrote:

When Adam dalf, and Eve span,
Wo was thann a gentleman?

Chris Wood and Karine Polwart sang John Ball in 2008 on Wood's CD Trespasser and on his anthology Albion.

Jon Boden sang John Ball as the 22 January 2011 entry of his project A Folk Song a Day.

The Melrose Quartet (Nancy Kerr, James Fagan, and Jess and Rich Arrowsmith) sang John Ball live at the Cheltenham Folk Festival in February 2011. this recording was included in November 2011 on their EP Live at Cheltenham. This video shows another live performance, at the Met Main Stage at the Homegrown Festival in Bury in November 2014:

The choir Freshly Ground sang John Ball in 2013 on their WildGoose CD The Good Red Earth. Issy Emeney noted:

Written in 1981 by Sydney Carter to commemorate 600 years since the Peasant’s Revolt. John Ball was a priest and leader in the rebellion, and suffered the standard fate—he was hanged, drawn and quartered.

Sound Tradition sang John Ball in 2014 on their CD Blackbird. They commented in their liner notes:

John Ball was a 14th century hedge priest (a roving preacher). Seen as a major threat to the establishment, Ball's striving for social equality and reforms in Western Christianity was rewarded by his execution in 1381. This song, written in 1981 to commemorate the 600th anniversary of the Peasants' Revolt, is taken from his most well-known text, John Ball's Sermon Theme: “When Adam dalf and Eve span, Who was thane a gentilman?”

And this video shows Ange Hardy and Steve Pledger singing John Ball at Upton Village Hall in November 2014 with a very cheeky last verse:

Sorry, I can't show the lyrics here as I don't have the copyright owners' permission to publish them. But please feel free and ask me to send you the song's lyrics.

Thanks to Bob Hudson for the extensive notes.

Swiss Miss points us to this gorgeous prototype of a felt computer mouse from Joey Roth.

It adds such a wonderfully surprising tactile feel to the world of computers. Joey’s plan is that it will be wireless and that you’ll be able to put the entire mouse in the washing machine, if a cleaning becomes necessary. Talk about rethinking an existing product.
