A document leaked by Edward Snowden, along with interviews with lawyers representing terrorism suspects, reveal a disturbing loophole in this once-sacred legal principle.
By monitoring apps such as Twitter and Angry Birds, British and US spy agencies can determine users' age, location, marital status and more.
The files obtained during the break-in in Media, Pennsylvania, revealed that African-Americans didn't have to have radical ideas, or engage in violence, to merit surveillance.
In his recent speech, the president offered an unbridled defense of the surveillance state.
One key goal of NSA surveillance of world leaders is not US national security but political blackmail—as it has been since 1898.
You can't opt out.
The modern national security state can be understood as a proselytizing warrior religion, complete with its own sacred texts, holy orders and warrior priests.
Although living in exile from the country he loves, Snowden is warm, centered and engaged and follows debates about surveillance with a keen legal acumen.
Dear Abby's military counterpart answers questions about leaks, spies and military furniture.
Thanks to whistleblower Edward Snowden, we now know that an army of private contractors can monitor anyone's phone calls and e-mails.

So far the Canadian media has not had much to say about P.K. Subban's dangerous slew foot on Chris Kunitz.
Elliot Friedman of Hockey Night In Canada commented on it on Twitter:
If this was Matt Cooke (or Brad Marchand of the Boston Bruins) we have a feeling there would be more "analysis" from the media.
But not when it's Subban.
We've watched P.K. Subban do this sort of thing against the Penguins three times and, quite frankly, leaving this relatively unpunished is a joke.
Let's review why we are so pissed off.
First victim: Jordan Staal - April 30, 2010
29 second mark.
This is the least vicious of the slew foots, and maybe it's not even a slew foot, but the others make you question the intent. Staal was out until later in the series.
Second victim: James Neal - November 26, 2011
Subban got nothing for this while James Neal was fined for a high stick. ProHockeyTalk nailed it with this headline: James Neal fined for being slew footed by P.K. Subban
And then, last night, the third victim: Chris Kunitz.
That's just a dangerous play right there and pretty clearly a slew foot.
Darren Dreger of TSN has finally chimed in: "Subban fined $2500 for 'dangerous trip' on Kunitz."
Remember everyone, it was a "dangerous trip," not a "slew foot."
Puck Daddy has more on Subban's tendency to commit "dangerous trips."

Mother's Day could use man's touch
It's time to put some macho in Mother's Day.
Let's liberate this holiday hijacked by Hallmark. Mother's Day is unnecessarily awash in effete expressions of affection that no Quentin Tarantino fan would utter even if ordered to do so at gunpoint.
That's why Hooters should be applauded for attempting to inject some much-needed testosterone into Mother's Day. The restaurant chain, known more for its waitresses' push-up bras than its culinary quality, is offering moms a free meal with a purchased beverage on Sunday.
(Tip for sons considering this offer: If you take Mom to Hooters, avoid embarrassing her. Cast aside standard operating procedure and stare at the waitress's face when ordering.)
Hopefully, replacing mom's typical eggs benedict brunch in the Silver Spoon Tea and Muffin Club with Hooters' wings and fried pickles is the first step in integrating some guy culture into a day that mystifyingly lacks it. If suitable substitutes are found, we could phase out several of the day's girly elements without eroding mom's enjoyment.
For example:
Out: Greeting cards
They aren't a reliable gauge of how most people feel about their mothers. When you buy one, you essentially are saying, "Mom, I care so much about you that I picked out the first card with a dancing Snoopy I could find while in Rite-Aid waiting to pick up a prescription."
In: Liquor store gift cards
They enable Mom to pour herself a comforting libation — or three — on lonely evenings when she ponders why she sees you only on Mother's Day, her birthday and Christmas. No Snoopy card can compete with that warm feeling she'll have in her stomach before the Dewar's delivers the night's knockout punch.
Out: Cultural event tickets
Mom might love the symphony, opera and theatrical performances, but The Benedum can get boring if visited too often — maybe not for her, but definitely for you. Suggest Mother's Day entertainment alternatives. She's liable to enthusiastically agree to any other activity if you first bring up rappelling.
In: Pennsylvania Motor Speedway tickets
Don't just take Mom to the races. Prove to her how thoughtful you are by providing her with a pair of earplugs.
Out: Flowers
Sure, that bouquet of roses looks nice when the FTD guy delivers them. But within days, the petals curl and fall from the stems and water in the vase starts to smell of decay. Way to remind Mom of her mortality, Sport.
In: Fireworks
There's no better way to show Mom — and her neighbors — that you love her by setting off a box of silver sonic warheads in her honor as dusk falls on her special day. The rush from the pyrotechnics is far more life-affirming than flowers. Mom will feel alive. You will feel alive.
So will the people across the street diving for cover when the shell rockets misfire.

Erasmo Ramirez will start Sunday against Chicago White Sox
Right-hander will be optioned back to Class AAA Tacoma after Sunday's game.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Chicago White Sox @ Mariners, 1:10 p.m., ROOT Sports
The Mariners officially announced that right-hander Erasmo Ramirez will make Sunday's start in the series finale against the Chicago White Sox.
Ramirez was at Safeco Field on Saturday night and worked out pregame. The team will need to make a roster move to make room for him. Lefty reliever Lucas Luetge, who was called up two days ago, will likely be optioned to Class AAA Tacoma.
Ramirez's stay will also be short. He will also be optioned back to the Rainiers postgame since the Mariners won't need a fifth starter until the series in Philadelphia, which starts on Aug. 18. A position player — most likely James Jones — will be called up to take his place on the roster.
This isn't the first time Ramirez made a spot start for Seattle and was sent back to Tacoma. This will actually be the third time he's had this duty. He has no complaints.
"I'm always happy to come back up here," Ramirez said. "They gave me an opportunity and I need to just keep doing what I'm doing. Every time they call me, I just need to be ready. I just need to continue to be myself."
In his last spot start against the Mets on July 22 at Safeco Field, Ramirez pitched seven innings, giving up two runs on five hits with two walks and a season-high 10 strikeouts.
"He threw the ball good, and hopefully he has that type of command again," said manager Lloyd McClendon. "If he does, we have a good chance of winning the game. He's thrown pretty good down (with Tacoma). Not great, but he's held his own."
Bloomquist on the mend
Willie Bloomquist worked his way into the Mariners' clubhouse on his new mode of transportation – crutches.
The veteran utility infielder was a day removed from having major surgery on his right knee. Clad in a pair of basketball shorts, teammates could see the greenish purple swelling and the incision marks.
Bloomquist was in decent spirits despite the season-ending procedure and the need for crutches for four to six weeks.
"All things considered, I'm in less pain than I was prior to going in," he said. "Obviously, it's swollen and sore, but hopefully they've got everything they need to fix, fixed."
What hurts is being forced to watch his team compete for a playoff spot from the disabled list.
"It's been a tough pill to swallow," he said. "I've wanted to be here in Seattle for a long time and to be in a playoff race. For me, that stings a little bit. I'd be lying if I said it didn't. But I'm certainly not going to let my personal sorrows bring down what's going on in here. We have a chance to do something special. The situation is what it is. Obviously I'm not going to be available, but I can still be here and support these guys. That's all I can do."
Technically, he didn't have a complete microfracture surgery, like he had on his left knee five years ago when he played with the Royals. Team physician Dr. Edward Khalfayan performed a combination procedure, according to Bloomquist.

Sharp Corp. has said it will double the output capacity of its liquid crystal display (LCD) television plant in Spain to 40,000 units a month as early as April to meet growing demand for flat-display TVs in Europe.
The production increase reflects the increasing shift in demand worldwide toward more advanced products with large thin displays.
The Japanese consumer electronics maker said it expects sales of LCD TVs in Europe to top its earlier projection of 220,000 for this fiscal year through March. It sold 110,000 LCD TVs in Europe last fiscal year.
Sharp assembles 13- to 30-in LCD TVs at its subsidiary's plant in Barcelona, Spain. With the planned addition of 37-in LCD TVs - the company's largest - to its production lineup early next year, the Spanish plant will be turning out the company's full LCD TV range.
The Spanish unit will also specialize in the production of LCD TVs and stop manufacturing conventional cathode-ray tube (CRT) TVs. It began producing CRT TVs in 1986, but output has fallen to a few hundred thousand units a year due to falling demand.
From next year, the Spanish unit will outsource production of CRT TVs to local companies or import units made in China and Mexico. It plans to halt sales of CRT TVs by the end of 2005 and focus on LCD TVs instead.
Sharp has already halted production of CRT TVs in Japan, but the move to do so in Spain would mark its first at an overseas base.
The company has also said it is considering raising its output capacity for high-resolution small LCD panels in Japan. (Dow Jones)

Hello - Half Japanese
- Band Name: Half Japanese
- Record Label: Alternative Tentacles
- Release Date: Feb 20, 2001
- Summary: The first full release in four years for the duo of Jad and David Fair.
- Record Label: Alternative Tentacles
- Genre(s): Indie, Rock
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 3 out of 5
Mixed: 2 out of 5
Negative: 0 out of 5
While everything here is generally good or great, Hello continues the trend of most other Half Japanese and solo Jad Fair releases, in that the slow, Jonathan Richman-like songs shine most strongly.
Anyone following Half Japanese's albums over their long stay in the rock arena has to enjoy the project's increasing comfortableness with complexity and craft. Hello demonstrates this sophistication to terrific effect, letting Jad's charming quirks take flight with more complex backgrounds.
Sep 3, 2014Despite the stylistic twists and turns, that it all holds together as an LP is largely due to Fair's familiar nasal, wide-eyed vocals.
Admittedly, this kinder, gentler Half Japanese lack the shambling brilliance of earlier incarnations, but, hey, we all lose a step with age. [#155, p.76]
Sep 3, 2014Hello, the group's second issue for Alternative Tentacles, highlights the rock side of this noise rock ensemble more than any of their previous albums.

4.0 out of 5 stars A "biomythography" that deserves attention,
"I, Rigoberta Menchu" is one of those books which seems to be overshadowed by controversy. A Quiche Mayan woman of Guatemala, Rigoberta Menchu told her story orally to anthropologist Elisabeth Burgos-Debray in Paris in 1982. Burgos-Debray transcribed the story and published in Spanish in 1983; Ann Wright's English translation appeared in 1984. The book, which both gave a voice to the Native American culture of Guatemala and exposed the brutality of Guatemala's civil war, became an international sensation. Menchu received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1992.
Anthropologist David Stoll later uncovered evidence of inconsistencies within Menchu's story. Conservative cultural activists interpreted Stoll's research as discrediting Menchu's story. For example, David Horowitz blasted Menchu as a "liar" and further condemned "I, Rigoberta Menchu" as "one of the greatest hoaxes of the 20th century." Many derided such attacks on Rigoberta as politically motivated and intellectually dishonest.
I think that "I, Rigoberta Menchu" has, perhaps, been misunderstood and misused by people on both sides of the left/right political divide. And so, for that matter, has the work of David Stoll. While he is sharply critical of the book in his own work, "Rigoberta Menchu and the Story of All Poor Guatemalans," Stoll also corroborates parts of her story. In fact, at the end of his own book Stoll praises "I, Rigoberta Menchu" as a Guatemalan "national epic" (p. 283).
Because of all of the accusations and counter-accusations being thrown around by people with conflicting political and intellectual agendas, it is daunting to even approach "I, Rigoberta Menchu." Nevertheless, I agree with David Stoll that this book is an authentic national epic of Guatemala; I also believe that it is a book which deserves to be read.
I look at "I, Rigoberta Menchu" as a "biomythography." African-American author Audre Lorde used this term to describe her own autobiographical narrative, "Zami: A New Spelling of My Name." Think of a biomythography as a life story that combines fact with fictionalized, borrowed, or adapted materials in an attempt to arrive at greater truths. I don't mean to suggest that Menchu, or anyone, for that matter, should be excused for misrepresenting facts. But it seems to me that "I, Rigoberta Menchu" gives the reader clues that it is a "biomythography" from the first page of the first chapter: Rigoberta says of her story "I didn't learn it alone," and further stresses that "it's not only my life, it's also the testimony of my people."
And if you approach the book carefully, you will discover a powerful and fascinating text. It is impossible in the space of a short review to cover all of the highlights of "I, Rigoberta Menchu." But a few include her description of the interactions among the diverse ethnic groups of Guatemala, her account of Quiche Mayan religious beliefs and practices, and her descriptions of such everyday activities as making tortillas. Particularly fascinating is her account of how Guatemalan revolutionaries interpreted parts of the Bible in order to aid their struggle; at the end of Chapter XVII she describes the Bible as the "main weapon" of her comrades.
Yes, Rigoberta has a political agenda. But so did Frederick Douglass and Malcolm X; this does not diminish the value of their autobiographies as both literary texts and historical documents. My advice is to read both "I, Rigoberta Menchu" and David Stoll's biography of Menchu. Read commentaries on the controversy from all parts of the political spectrum. And read other texts about the violence in Guatemala and in other countries rocked by political strife and ethnic tension. And finally, draw your own conclusions about the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is NOT an autobiography,
Kurt (New Brunswick, NJ) - See all my reviews
Many of those who criticize Ms. Menchu's work subscribe to the fallacy that "I, Rigoberta Menchu" is an autobiography. After David Stoll published "Rigoberta Menchu and the Story of All Poor Guatemalans," Ms. Menchu responded, "'Yo, Rigoberta Menchu' no fue una autobiografia, sino un testimonio." ("'I, Rigoberta Menchu was not an autobiography, but rather a testimony.") Marc Zimmerman, an expert on Guatemalan resistance literature, has stated that testimonial literature implicitly contains the possibility of "other voices." In essence, Ms. Menchu aimed to speak for her community rather than herself. The idea of the collective voice is a well-known characteristic of Mayan culture. There is also a level of common sense that eludes many of Ms. Menchu's critics. Assuming that the book is an autobiography, does it really matter that one of Ms. Menchu's brothers was actually shot by the army instead of burnt alive. This hairsplitting does not conceal the fact that the Guatemalan military committed such atrocities in the death of over 200,000 Guatemalans and the destruction of over 400 villages. "I, Rigoberta Menchu" played a pivotal role in bringing international attention to the plight of Guatemala, which, as Stoll himself acknowledges, few other people could have done. The real question raised by Stoll's book is not who died where and how, but does Rigoberta Menchu truly represent "all poor Guatemalans." To understand Guatemalan history in the early 1980s, I recommend Jennifer Schirmer's "The Guatemalan Military Project: A Violence Called Democracy" and Stoll's more persuasive work, "Between Two Armies in the Ixil Towns of Guatemala." "I, Rigoberta Menchu" has its faults but it is a superb introduction to the debate over recent Guatemalan history.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just 2 or so hours South of Miami!,
Dagmar F. Pelzer (Miami, Florida) - See all my reviews
It is incredible that such human suffering went on, and in many ways is still going on, just a couple of hours (by pane) away from where I live. Rigoberta Menchu's book, written as dictated by her, is sad and tells of horrible situations.
Guatemala is a beautiful country, the indigenous sill dress in their local garb, each unique to a particular village. Guatemala has been referred to as the most exotic country in the Western hemisphere.
A good friend of mine, a Guatemala Indian, told me about the efforts of the Indians to get help from the United States. They sought out various Native American tribes in the U.S., that to them was seeking help from America. From what he told, it never occured to the elders of the Guatemalan groups to approach anyone other than Native Americans. And they did not receive help, because help was not available. But had they approached the U.S. government, they most likely wouldn't have been helped either.
I have been in Guatemala so many times, I started to call it my second home. There is still a lot of oppression, and the indigenous still feel fearful of the police and the military. I have not been there in a couple of years and am yearning to return.
The last time, the police/military made great efforts to change their image. Instead of stopping trucks and harrassing the passengers, they handed out white carnations!
Menchu does not deal with the greatest problem that is keeping the indigenous in danger, that of language barrier. The Guatemala Indians speak over 20 local languages. The languages are so totally different, that communication is impossible. Though some books are written in the local languages, they cannot be read by the indigenous because they are illiterate. Division is a "great" tool to keep populations from binding together to fight a common evil. Spanish is the country's political language, but over 80% of the indigenous do not speak Spanish.
I have traveled into the villages, into the hills and mountains where customs as ancient as the peoples themselves still reign. All of them have experienced evil. Their story did not end with Menchu's book. It continues, and who knows how much longer it will continue.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing book of survival,
Candye L. Kane "blues diva" (san diego, ca) - See all my reviews
I read this book years ago and re-read it again recently. It is still one of my favorite books. Rigoberta Menchu suffered unbelievable atrocities and incredible losses and still lived to tell her courageous story through an interpreter. I think the book is phenomenal and I recommend it to anyone with a heart. It helps explain a lot about the Guatamalen people and their strife. It also is a timely book since the illegal immigration debate rages on in this country on a daily basis. It paints a vivid picture of the suffering of indigenous peoples and helps us to relate to their need to escape their countries in search of a better life. I dont know what David Stoll had to gain by writing a book that contradicted Menchu's powerful account. She states at the beginning of her book that her perspective is hers alone and that her memories may have been clouded by the trauma. It makes me crazy when people pick apart one tiny aspect of a book and then, throw the entire thing out as a sham. The same thing happened with the James Frey book, A million little pieces. People tended to ignore the overall strengths of the book and his basic message of surviving drug addiction over a few little insignificant details. This book is the same situation. The overall message and story of rigoberta menchu is so powerful and moving, it must be read, even if there is a fact or two that someone wants to contradict.

5.0 out of 5 stars I, Rigoberta criticism detracts from the realities this book portrays,
This review is from: I, Rigoberta Menchu: An Indian Woman in Guatemala (Paperback)
I, Rigoberta criticism detracts from the realities this book portrays. When I read this book, the way Rigoberta speaks reminds me of the way my father would talk about his upbringing in Guatemala. Although my dad's point of view is from a different perspective than Rigoberta, The repetition and vivid accounts of life in Guatemala remind me of the tales my father would tell my brothers and I. Every time he would retell a story of being in jail in El Pavon, of stealing food to survive, a new detail emerged, often it would be mixed with religious/mythic reflection, over the top generalizations, and of course viewed from a long distance since we were living a new life in the North.
I Rigoberta is a conversation, and as such the person speaking isnt always checking her diary or wikipedia to check that how she remembers it is 100% correct. But the emotions, the repression she felt and the horrors she witnessed are told to us from an honest place.

5.0 out of 5 stars Memorable,
Anna Elmhorst "annamae5" (Eau Claire, WI) - See all my reviews
I read this book shortly before visiting Guatemala, and I have to say it made my travel experience alot richer. I felt more sensitized to the currents of racism and political struggle still present in the country, as well as to the pain of a people recovering from a horror in the not so distant past. Nearly every Guatemalan that I met had some powerful story of the genocide, and this book gave me a good background on the facts and politics behind the peasant struggle.
Though it has been criticized as being imbellished and realistically inaccurate, I think that it can still be used as a tool to learn about the native Quiche culture in past and present times. Their spiritual and political beliefs and their connections to the natural world are interwoven throughout the memoir. And most importantly, the horror of a major Latin American genocide that still scars the memories of peasants in the region today. Rigoberta was very matter of fact in sharing information about the torture and killing of her people in gruesome detail... so detailed that it was difficult to read at times, but nevertheless, essential in understanding the extent of the what happened to her people.
Whether you read this book as fact or historical fiction, I think it is a good read for anyone interested in Latin American history, politcal science, peasant cultures, or human rights. It is a story that will stick in your mind... and your heart.

As has been described in other one-star reviews, this fiction is not a true account or documentary, as it purports to be-and thus, yet another example of the Left creating a narrative to suit its illogical and tendentious world view. (See David Stoll's Rigoberta Menchu for the definitive refutation.) That Ms. Menchu would still retain her Nobel after these revelations speaks volumes to the standards held by and political correctness found in modern Nobel Prize committees; she remains, with Yasser Arafat and Barack Obama, among the most obviously undeserving contemporary winners.

This review is from: I, Rigoberta Menchu: An Indian Woman in Guatemala (Paperback)
I read this book in grad school. There is so much to be considered about the information presented in this text. It reads more like a biography. However, years ago it was confirmed that this is actually a work on fiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Essential Read,
(This is both a review and a response to Michael J. Mazza's book review located above).
I think the above Mazza review is pretty smart and well articulated and would like to make one further point. Rigoberta is Quiche Mayan which means part of what others see as inconsistency is just her faith in an old but thriving religion that others know little about. The Maya are a highly spiritual people. They behave in a way that even after living in Chiapas and Guatemala (both Mayan areas) for two years I cannot truly understand or anticipate. So when you say that she mixes fiction and reality to arrive at an even greater truth I think you're failing to realize the depths of her commitment to the spirit. She wouldn't say that any of the things you term "fictions?are fictions at all. Here's an example: almost all Quiche women wear huipils ?a traditional dress. To the non-Indian eye this looks like it is decorated with geometric patterns. To the Mayan eye they see the history of the world. This mindset is real. The history of the world is a cosmic history.
I see the problem with readings of "I, Rigoberta Menchu" an unfortunate and underestimated cultural misunderstanding. The term itself makes me quiver because of its recent overuse and thus lack of meaning. But I think the mindset of the average Mayan and the average American are virtually irreconcilable. This difference, I suggest, is part of the cause for gross misunderstanding the CIA had of the Mayan Indians. With all this talk we fail to keep in mind that the violence was real, there was a CIA-coup that installed a dictator.
Regardless of what you think about her integrity, this book is an essential read. It's a shame that such an vital tale has been hindered by the political talk around it. Politics, namely the CIA in the 50s, caused this problem in the first place. See How Holocausts Happen or Bitter Fruit for more information on this.
The Maya do not get the exposure or credit they deserve. The Maya give civilization many things that we take for granted including chocolate and the tomato. So let's open our ears a bit and pay attention to the way other people think before we judge them. With a little more sensitivity the world might be a bit more peaceful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Courageous Mayan Woman fought the Genocidal Guatemalan Military and Government for her People,
Jean Tanguma (Arvada, CO United States) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: I, Rigoberta Menchu: An Indian Woman in Guatemala (Paperback)
Wonderful book about the struggle of the Mayan people in Guatemala in the 1980's. Amazing that over 200,000 Indians were killed by the government and the military with the support of the US government. Menchu is very humble. Her story is incredibly painful. She lost both parents in the struggle, also her brothers. This is an extremely moving story. It helps one understand why Rios Montt, former President of Guatemala, was recently convicted of genocide of over 1,000 Mayans and sentenced to jail for the rest of his life. The first time a former president has been tried and convicted of genocide in his own country.

The challenge to make the cities of the world, and especially the so-called mega-cities work as sustainable places, or at the very least, as agglomerations of many sustainable places. It is estimated that by 2050 there will be more than 30 cities of 10 million residents, with Shanghai among the largest of them.
Some metropolitan regions in Asia are expected to reach 30-40 million inhabitants. The cities have been identified as the major sources of air pollution (leading to climate change); of water contamination and depletion of supply (endangering millions of people and causing global conflicts); of excessive fossil fuel consumption (principally because of electric power generation and the growth in personal automobiles); of the consumption of materials made from non-renewable resources; and, of the depletion of agricultural land through low density sprawl and expansive waste management. Even the projected depletion of forests and the endangerment of the oceans' coral reefs can be traced to the excessive consumption of building materials and food preferences in many of the cities of the world.
Today, the need for coordinated, holistic, visionary and sustainable management of the cities of the world has never been more critical. The quality of the environment and the quality of life for residents is at risk, in the midst of new science and technologies that may, or may not lead to positive changes.
As the communities get large—both in population and land coverage—the expenses of development and maintenance are inflated. The financial support of new growth, and its sources, becomes more and more difficult to manage— while the new growth at the edges drains resources for maintenance and rehabilitation from the older city sections. There are growing economic inequities, internal to the cities, amid dramatic influences from external migrations and informal, illegal settlements—especially in the developing nations. It seems that the greater the economic success of a city/region, the greater the pressures become for social equity–in all forms: health, housing, human services, employment, income distribution, education, environmental justice—in general, the quality of Life.
Urban growth management and planning for sustainability have become the major challenges of the 21st century for managers, planners, designers and civic officials.

I want to retire. I want to retire and spend my days travelling and writing about travelling.
I have this image in my mind of me sitting in the window of a pub overlooking the beautiful village where it is situated. I'm sitting enjoying a pint of ale while exchanging stories of my travels with the locals who are telling me all the ins and outs of village life.
Suddenly they burst into song. A local ditty made more joyous by their local dialect. I buy them all a drink and the landlord tells me about a local character who I should talk to. The evening eventually ends with me standing on a table singing a raunchy sea shanty taught to me by the retired fishermen of Cork who were featured in chapter seven of my third travelogue.
The next morning I'm up early and following a 'Full English' I set off to meet up with Bert. He's got plenty to say about the village and even more about the folk who live and lived here. I've taken lots of notes and I'm just about the leave when Bert asks if I'd be interested in hearing about his grandfather. I'm already running late for a meeting with my publisher but it would seem rude to leave now that Bert is in full flow.
"My grandfather was on the Titanic. He's one of the few crewmen that survived." He worked in the engine house and his story of survival is astonishing. Bert shows me a letter from his grandfather written to his son, Bert's father, detailing exactly what happened.
When Bert's father died thirty years ago they found all sorts of documents and letters about the Titanic in the attic. No one had any idea they were there. There was even an unpublished memoir which finally set the record straight about what the orchestra were really doing when unsinkable did the ultimate in not doing as it was told.
Bert tells me he's read all my books and wants to hand all of his grandfather's archive to me to, "do with it what you see fit".
He offers me his collection of First Day Cover stamps, a 1933 penny, the formula for Coca-Cola and the recipe for Uncle Joe's Mint Balls. In fact there's a load of other stuff he wants me to have also. The only condition is that the Picasso is given to the National Gallery. I can "do whatever" with the Monet and Lowrys.
Of course in the real world I've been stuck on a freezing cold Colchester Station for two and a half hours listening to people exchange stories of past fatalities on the line and their long nights of Hell waiting for replacement buses. But still I dream of travel writing.
As for Bert, he's probably warming his hands on a log fire, sipping a 25 year-old malt and wondering what on earth he's going to do will all that crap in the attic.

WASHINGTON — Nevada's new U.S. senator, Dean Heller, was sworn in Monday to replace the embattled John Ensign, who resigned amid a Senate Ethics Committee investigation into an extramarital affair he had with a staff member.
Heller, 50, was serving his third term in the House when Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval selected him to serve out the remainder of Ensign's term.
The move does little to change the political dynamic in the Senate, as Heller and Ensign shared similar views on most issues.
But it could alter the dynamic in next year's elections in Nevada if Heller can gather support and campaign donations in voter-rich southern Nevada.
Heller was already the favorite to win next year's GOP primary election for Ensign's seat when Sandoval made the appointment.
