Gypsy Woman puts the finishing touches on the 
feast she has been preparing: poached salmon with
apples and hazelnuts for wisdom, a spicey vegetable
curry to stimulate the senses, smooth sorbets made
from fresh ingredients to clear the palate for more 
delights, satays and udons, breads and pastas, sauces
and savories, fresh produce of every variety and world,
towers of chocolates and pastries to tempt even the 
most jaded appetite.

Marvelously jeweled carafes hold the distillates of 
many nations worlds, fresh juices of fruits and
vegetables too numerous to mention vie with the sparkling
waters each acclaimed by their nation sit beside wines,
still and sparkling, in hues from clearest straw to
the ruby heart of darkness.  

She has set up faerie lights inside the pavilion so
that all the feast is illuminated with sparkling bits
of color like those thrown from a diamond in bright
sunlight.  

A young woman is  playing balances on an optherian 
organ. The mood is serene and restful for folk tired
from a day at the Faire. 

Gypsy looks out her front door...

As long as the point of contact isn't on the palm side of the hand.  DC hurts
worse, but you get your palm jolted with AC and you CAN'T LET GO.  With DC, on
the other hand, you simply find yourself sitting across the room from where you

Er, I think you'll find that cities predated capitalism by quite some time. 
It's not capitalism that makes cities advantageous, it such things as economies
of scale, advantages to specialization and so forth.

 As the party in the hay wagons begins to enter the
Faire, they see a particular pavilion done in rainbow
colours and hung with occult symbols and scarves.
A sign proclaims "Exotic Gypsy Fortune Telling"
and pictures a crystal ball and a spead of tarot
cards. 

A polychromatic whirlwind bursts out of the tent
and Gypsy Woman appears.  "Come and enjoy
the Faire, my friends.  And when you are tired
of walking and buying fairings, come and sit
in my tent (which is way larger inside than out) 
and enjoy a fine view of the stage and jousting
fields."

She pauses to twine a maroon scarf around
Brandon's neck and give him a birthday hug
before whirling back to get everything ready
for a great party when her friends arrive.

MonTemplar finished his pint of Beamish, and approaches the chalk-line.

"To the departure of an old friend, and new adventures!"

*CRASH!*

"Ladies, gentlemen, and other entities... it is with great sadness in my
heart that I come here to inform you that I will shortly be without an old
and much-loved friend."

"Yes, I have finally decided to replace my trusty BBC Master 128 home
computer with a shiny new 386SX PC. Although the Beeb is still in its
physical prime (albeit with a dodgy monitor), I have come to the
conclusion that it is no longer capable of meeting my exacting
requirements."

"I'll be getting the new PC within the next few days, and the two machines
will sit next to one another for a brief period while I transfer the
remaining text files from the Beeb's hard disk. Once that is done, the
Beeb and its accompanying peripherals and software will be scattered to
the four winds at a private ceremony on the Acorn 8-Bit Mailing List."

"And Lo! there shall be a great whirring of fans and beeping of modems and
wailing of SoundBlasters at the Beeb's passing."


There is a moment's silence, punctuated only by the sound of Rhodri
blowing his nose with a large hanky. :-)


"Ok, that's the bad news out of the way." :-)

"Yep, 'tis all true! I shall indeed be forsaking the ol' Beeb for a PC
clone. The reasons for this are many. Firstly I need the PC for my
connection to Demon Internet Services, thru which I will become one with
the Net for just 10 pounds a month. Secondly, I need a machine to do
*proper* word- and document processing on - for all its virtues, the Beeb
was just too fiddly. Thirdly, I intend to prove my valour in programming
combat against the fearsome beasts C++ and MS Windows, that I might thus
progress into the ranks of the Great Employed :-) And finally, I was sick
of waiting for the appearance of and Acorn Archimedes system that I could
afford *gnash* *gnash* *sniff!*"

"More good news! I start on a six-month programming course next Wednesday.
At the end of that time I'll have and NVQ (National Vocational
Qualification) to my name, and hopefully be a lot nearer to a job!"

"Finally, a cautionary note - I've been informed that the mail->news
gateway at news.demon.co.uk is only available to sites which have links
with Demon System, eg. Cix, the system I login to. So if someone would
pass the word on to Nick Chopper, so he can alter the ALLABOUT to that
effect, I'd be grateful as I don't what to get in the bad book of Cliff
(the head honcho of Demon). :-)"

MonTemplar pauses on his way back to the Bar to shake the hand of the good
Doctor at table 82. "I should have guessed that this was how you got all
that wealth of knowledge, sitting around in exotic Saloons!" he comments.

Scout's Brownies

1 cup (2 sticks) UNSALTED butter
3 1/2 ounces best-quality bittersweet chocolate
3 Tbs. Dark European-style unsweetened cocoa
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
	(high altitude, add 2 tbls.)
1/2 tsp. baking powder
4 eggs, slightly beaten
2 cups sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips

	Prehead oven to 350 degrees F (high alt 375).  Melt butter with
unsweetned chocolate in top of double boiler, stirring occasionally. Set
aside to cool. Sift together cocoa, flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat
eggs until creamy, then gradually add sugar, beating constantly. Add vanilla  
and cooled chocolate-butter mixture  Stir in dry ingredients just until 
combined.  Spread batter in buttered 9 X 13 inch pan.  Sprinkle chips over

the absurd thaumaturgy and punning contest at the Enchanted
Castle.  Unfortunately, having very little brain, it goes and
starts bumping one of the lurkers, almost pushing her out of
the darkness.  Fast Eddie shrugs his shoulders, but rules are
rules, and soon the sign is laid out with a huge bump on it's

   "Pun contest?"  Manx says, in a daze.  "Wasn't Didi-Sprite

   With a graceful movement, Manx swooshes Aloysious into his

by the Brumby, he soon catches up with the wagon.  He jumps
on the back and spends a moment revelling in the wonderfully
immature feeling of rolling in hay.  "Hay, Didi-Sprite, how
ya doing?"  Manx rolls over and gives her a chaste but
enthusiastic hug.  "Do you think they'll have food at this

Snark pipes in:

Actually, some studies were done in which people were sealed off from
natural light and from any timekeeping means (stuck in rooms built
into caves, in fact), to see what would happen to their body
schedules.  One effect was that people seem to have a built-in 25-hour
day (left over from primordial tidal schedules?  I dunno)... combine
that with the natural ease of going to bed later than "feels right"
instead of earlier, and your schedule isn't too hard to understand.

The *really* weird thing from the study is that sometimes people would
go on 'half-speed-time'... i.e. 50-hour day schedules... and *not*
*even* *notice* the difference.  For example, a two-pack-a-day smoker
would still smoke two packs, over twice the time, and not notice a
difference.

Well, in California, you need a teaching credential.  This means you master in
education.  Presumably they prefer if you actually take some courses in the
field you're going to teach, but the fundamental requirement is that you
mastered in education.  I'm pretty sure that an M.A. does the same for your
salary that an M.S. does.
