These new faces are a very interesting bunch, let me tell you...from keys to monkeys to rows of locks on a single door weighing more the the doors they are securing. __________________ Full cup, steady hand.

Perhaps on this train there will be all kinds of new sights and sounds, delights for the senses that transcend all earthly bounds? http://www.crystalinks.com/michaelangelo.jpg __________________ “Serenity is not freedom from the storm, but peace amid the storm.” The Gaia Shop Get Your Goddess On!

"Such a dedicated crew", thinks the Engineer(me) as I signals the bar keep for a chaser. "Where is that hot air on my nape coming from" I wonders as I gulp a fine Imperial stout and turn my head in time to see a flash of orange fur and curled tail. I laugh in delight as the creature flees from my sudden movement. "come back and share a pint" I jokingly yell to its backside as it disappears around a corner..... I turn back to my beer and thoughts of my crew. __________________ Full cup, steady hand. Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing. Ah!

12.40. Time for a cozy fire and I think I will cuddle up on a bear rug. http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/6533/dsc0014uq9.jpg and I better call my personal guard in, things went a bit array at the docks tonight. http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/2894/dsc0042rb5.jpg __________________ Full cup, steady hand.

Something else that everyone might find useful as they ready themselves for the journey ahead... RONALD KNOX'S DECALOGUE Here is Ronald Knox's famous Ten Commandment list for Detective Novelists from the preface to Best Detective Stories of 1928-29 which Knox edited. A few of them are out of date or frivolous, but they were intended to encourage “fair play” in the creation of a puzzle. Naturally these have become a kind of catechism and an infuriating challenge to generations of writers. • The criminal must be someone mentioned in the early part of the story, but must not be anyone whose thoughts the reader has been allowed to follow. • All supernatural or preternatural agencies are ruled out as a matter of course. • Not more than one secret room or passage is allowable. • No hitherto undiscovered poisons may be used, nor any appliance which will need a long scientific explanation at the end. • No 'criminal foreigners' as major characters unless their cultural background has some relevance to the plot beyond exotic obfuscation. • No accident must ever help the detective, nor must he ever have an unaccountable intuition which proves to be right. • The detective must not himself commit the crime. • The detective must not light on any clues which are not instantly produced for the inspection of the reader. • The stupid friend of the detective, the Watson, must not conceal any thoughts which pass through his mind; his intelligence must be slightly, but very slightly, below that of the average reader. • Twin brothers, and doubles generally, must not appear unless we have been duly prepared for them. What's that thing they say about rules? Rules were made... Rules don't fade...
