Penetrating Wagner’s "Ring" (Da Capo Paperback) (Paperback) Having read the previous reviews on this book, and having asked first, I quickly dived head-first into 'Wagners Ring'. I have to say, although difficult at first, I quickly got up to speed and enjoyed it immensely. In fact, at the end the experience was so moving, I shed a single tear although it also left me completely drained!
I found 'Penetrating Wagners Ring' welcoming, warm and an experience I should hope to return to again and again.
Edit: For the lightweight readers among you, I found this quite a large publication and found it initially awkward to reach around it.

Look Out… Wombat Rape!
Quote:
Man said 'wombat rape' led to accent change
A New Zealand man who claimed he was raped by a wombat and that the experience left him speaking with an Australian accent has been found guilty of wasting police time.
Arthur Cradock, 48, from the South Island town of Motueka, called police last month to tell them he was being raped by the marsupial at his home and needed urgent assistance.
Cradock, an orchard worker, later called back to reassure the police operator that he was all right.
"I’ll retract the rape complaint from the wombat, because he’s pulled out. Apart from speaking Australian now, I’m pretty all right you know. I didn’t hurt my bum at all."
He pleaded guilty in Nelson District Court to using a phone for a fictitious purpose and was sentenced to 75 hours’ community work.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Chris Stringer told the court that alcohol played a large role in Cradock’s life.
Judge Richard Russell said he was not sure what had motivated Cradock to make the extraordinary claim.
In sentencing Cradock, he warned him not to do it again.
Wombats are native to Australia and are not found in New Zealand. Although powerfully built and about the size of a small pig, they are very rarely dangerous. There are three species: the widely distributed common wombat and the much rarer southern and northern hairy-nosed wombats.

I am not sure if one of the cops got it 100% right, I think the idea was to fire at the big target (the criminal) but not the small one (child-size target, representing a hostage!). (note how this part of the test isn't done later!)

muffins and memory sticks saw this on the news..
Muffins enter typical UK 'basket'
Spending on muffins and smoothies reflects cafe culture says the ONS
Fruit smoothies, muffins and portable digital storage
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7300234.stm
which made me think that it would be a viable way of getting data past censorship, by embedding a memory chip of some sort in a muffin..
this is then passed to the receipient in a cafe or shopping bag, where they can eat the muffin at their leisure and recover the chip.
several gigabytes could be transmitted this way..
if the recipient was particularly hungry though they would have to be careful not to swallow some of the smaller chips,or they will have to be decoded at the vets using one of those scanners. :laugh_at:
