bookdiscovery: Evergreen

http://bookdiscovery-jeanne.blogspot.com/2014/06/evergreen.html

June 20, 2014. Rebecca Rasmussen’s second novel describes the life of three generations of a family living in northern Minnesota, from 1938 to 1972. Eventually Huxley, Eveline’s son, learns of the existence of his sister and goes in search of her. Whether bringing her back to Evergreen is a good decision or not is debatable, as Naamah’s early life, combined with seven years of wild living in logging camps, have not provided a good base for settling down to domestic life, even a rustic one. 2016 reading l...

mortensi: Differences between Copyright, Copyleft and Creative Commons

http://www.mortensi.com/2014/05/differences-between-copyright-copyleft.html

Tuesday, May 20, 2014. Motivated by the suspension of famous Spanish writer Javier Marias' blog because of license infringement, I searched the web and found the following comparison of licenses to stay on the safe side when reusing, mentioning or modifying content found on the web. The infringement was reported by Michael Magras. All the three licenses have something in common: they all deal with author's rights. They just differs in the way they protect them. Let's get down to business. Por www.mor...

bookdiscovery: May 2013

http://bookdiscovery-jeanne.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

Back in November I wrote about being chosen for the FictionKNITsta cross-Canada book tour. Several women authors were paired with a knitter who would read the author’s book, then create a wearable item or accessory for the author, based on a theme or idea from the book. I was thrilled to be included in this venture, and delighted to be assigned to read Milosz. How to interpret any of these themes through knitting? I also liked this pattern because it looks a bit like vines climbing a trellis, and this re...

Milosz, FictionKNITsta update. Over the weekend I made a few decisions about the FictionKNITsta project. So, the item will be a scarf. But what about the colour, the style, the yarn? Http:/ www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/thayer. For the pattern. It is very lacy and open and light, perfect for the Spring tour. It looks complicated but is actually a four-row repeat so should actually be relatively simple to reproduce.(In theory! We'll see—as I've never knitted lace before, this could be interesting!

bookdiscovery: Poems

http://bookdiscovery-jeanne.blogspot.com/p/poems.html

Salute to Buffleheads (and other black-and-white ducks of winter). With your “bad-hair-day” crest. Lesser Skaup and Gold-eye,. Beautiful painted long-tail, with your haunting cry. Rising above the pounding waves. Rounded body, colour-divided. We “brave” ones watch from shore,. Wrestling with wind gusts, ice pellets. Tearing at us,. While you play in the storm,. Swimming under the waves to rise and laugh,. We should have known winter was still here. Since you were too. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Terror on the Alert. By Robert W. Mackay. Tension is felt from the first page when we meet Ted Hawkins as he is undergoing his last test to qualify as a submariner. He must complete a simulation exercise of escaping from a bottomed submarine, 100’ underwater. With nothing to help him to the surface but a life jacket, water pressure demands that the exercise be done correctly or his lungs could explode! Ted was amazed. Out of the blue, he and Alert. Ted struggles to maintain some sanity in his predicament...

bookdiscovery: Through a Glass, Darkly

http://bookdiscovery-jeanne.blogspot.com/2014/03/through-glass-darkly.html

Through a Glass, Darkly. March 27, 2014. Hard to believe this is the 15th book that Donna Leon has written about Commissario Brunetti; Guido and the rest of the cast of characters remain as fresh and interesting as ever.
