I have a problem with Skype on my IPAD. I can connect to the internet through a proxy server. I setup the address of the proxy server, Safari works fine. But the Skype app can't log in. What may be the problem? Please help me with a solution.

unfortunately Skype for iPad does currently not support connecting through a Proxy server. There is no workaround available, and it's currently not possible to tell you when or if it will be supported.
I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.

This is causing major problems for a web filtering company's.
I currently work for a major web filtering company and so far these are the major issues:
1) schools are buying IPads and need HTTPS connections filtered, to get skype to work we have to allow https out unfiltered. Opens up issues with kids being able to access pornography, proxy bypass sites and other undesirable content.
2) As stated software will not use the IPad manual proxy settings
3) As stated the skype software does not support IPad's Auto Configuration script settings
4) Skype software does not support being transparently sent through a proxy when accessing port 80
5) Skype software does not support being transparently sent though a proxy when accessing port 443
Other issues with Skype is the self generated certificates that are used, this then means filtering cannot block based on certificates as these will be invalid.

We are also experiencing the same problem in the University I work for. We were hoping to use either Skype or FaceTime on iPads for conferencing, communication between sites, etc, but unfortunately neither are options because of the proxy problem (on Skype) or the number of ports required to be opened on our corporate firewall (for FaceTime).
Really hope Skype fixes this soon.

Day 1
This is our summary of PuppetConf 2014. In our previous post we gave an overview of the contributor summit. This post will provide an overview of the first day of PuppetConf.
As you might expect there were great keynotes with plenty of announcements and too many talks for us to attend. We have provided an outline for all the talks we did attend and links to those we didn't.
Nearly a Decade of Puppet: What We've Learned and Where We're Going Next – Luke Kanies, PuppetLabs – Slides
The big keynote of the event to kick off the first day from the author of Puppet himself. This was obviously going to be a tweet worthy affair full of photos and big announcements and it did not disappoint.
Native Clients (CFactor + C++ rewrite of agents) are coming in the very near future. This is not only a matter of improving the performance for existing users part of philosophy of PuppetLabs to become ubiquitous across as many devices and platforms as possible. This is one of those improvements that is really setting up PuppetLabs for the future.
Puppet Server (a.k.a the Clojure rewrite). This is PuppetLabs big move away from Ruby on onto the JVM. Being on the JVM means they can slowly rewrite the codebase while also maintaining compatibility thanks to JRuby. They have gained a lot of experience with Clojure thanks to the PuppetDB & TrapKeeper projects and given how successful that project has been it has helped ease many of the fears people have in moving the JVM. Puppet Server is also a self contained application so there is no longer any need to worry about the whole apache/passanger yak shave. There was even a demo on the metrics that are now exposed by Puppet Server – yes you can now plug Puppet into graphite.
There have been plenty of follow-ups on this that you might be interested in reading:
- http://www.infoworld.com/article/2687553/devops/puppet-server-drops-ruby-for-clojure.html
- http://puppetlabs.com/blog/puppet-server-bringing-soa-to-a-puppet-master-near-you
- http://puppetlabs.com/blog/new-era-application-services-puppet-labs
- https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet-server
- http://www.informationweek.com/cloud/software-as-a-service/puppet-servers-big-revamp/d/d-id/1315934
Puppet Apps was the next big announcement. Puppet Apps is actually a fantastic piece of marketing around the idea that they are refactoring to a more micro-services style approach – splitting up the monolith that is currently the Puppet master into smaller applications that have their own release cadence and can be scaled separately.
The first announcement from the "Apps" initiative is Puppet Node Manager the new node classifier which will roll out in the Q1 of 2015 as an add-on to Puppet Enterprise. Given that Puppet has allowed external node classifiers to be written for a long time now (and there are many open source ones out there) it is good to see PuppetLabs stepping up and trying to own this more and improve the experience.
Another huge announcement (of which we got a preview at the contributors summit) was Puppet Approved Modules. Luke and the rest of PuppetLabs have the huge idea that 80% of what you're going to want to configure on your systems should be possible with what is available on the forge. Some of the bigger pieces have been covered by the module engineers at PuppetLabs under the existing Puppet Support Modules program. This has been fantastic in driving for consensus around configuration making installation of certain products (like apache) easier for people.
The reality is that if PuppetLabs want to achieve its 80% goal they are are not going to be able to do that with the engineers and resources they have available to them. Nor do they have the expertise to know about all the software out there. This is where the Puppet Approved program comes in. Its aim is to provide the same standard of quality that you see in the Supported modules but for modules written by the community. It is easy for users of the forge to be able to pick out high quality, actively maintained modules and know what they are getting. As a user this is very exciting and as a module author, while there will be plenty of work for me to do, I am glad that the community is moving in this direction.
Speaking of the community, Luke used this opportunity to announce the finalists and the winner of the Most Valued Puppetier (MVP) competition.
- Erik Dalén (@erik_dalen)
The last part of the keynote was talking about some of the wider thoughts as we look to the next ten years of Puppet and what comes next. There is going to be more focus on the ubiquity of Puppet, on devices more network device partners and solving problems like orchestration. The next ten years is going to be about taking Puppet beyond the single node. We are already thinking of machines as cattle and not pets – Puppet should also better reflect that change.
I for one am very excited by all this and look forward to seeing what comes out over the next few years.
The Phoenix Project: Lessons Learned – Gene Kim, IT Revolution Press – Slides
This was a great overview of Gene's research of DevOps and how that intersects with high performing organisations. There were many interesting results that came out the the survey that he did in joint co-operation with PuppetLabs many of which he shared during this talk.
I think the one that stands out and often tweeted is the following:
"High performers have 30x more deployments and 8000x faster lead time, 2x the change success rate and 12x faster recovery"
Read that again – wow.
This talk as one might expect was all about DevOps, its history, why and how it works. Even if you're fully familiar with the whole culture of DevOps there are plenty of things to be learnt from this keynote and I look forward to re-watching it when the video lands on YouTube.
Trust Me – Kate Matsudaira, Popforms – Slides
Following the theme of culture, Kate's talk was a refreshing look at the culture of trust within an organisation. Far from being the usual "this is what my company culture looks like" sort-of talk, this talk had a lot of practical advice. Discussion of how to build relationships, how to raise your profile within the organisation and how to improve yourself as a manger. "If you use your 1-on-1 to talk about status, you're wasting time. Get to know your boss, solicit feedback on your performance." – Great advice like this is littered throughout the talk.
She says that trust is like money and that you need to be wise in how you spend that trust. Most organisations are not a meritocracy and we need to stop thinking that they are. Your relationships within the organisation are just as important as the quality of the work that you do. There needs to be balance between these two things – are your relationships as good as the work that you do?
If you want to improve yourself and advance your career, either as an engineer or as a manager then you should absolutely take the time to listen to this talk.
Bonus: the slides rock! (I won't spoilt it – take a look)
Track Talks
The Puppet Debugging Kit: Building Blocks for Exploration and Problem Solving – Charlie Sharpsteen, Puppet Labs (@csharpsteen) – Slides
Interesting tool, has some cross-over with the Beaker testing tool. PDK is more for focused manual testing rather than automated acceptance tests.
- https://github.com/Sharpie/puppet-debugging-kit
- vagrant + oscar (https://github.com/adrienthebo/oscar)
- oscar is a collection of vagrant plugins
- vagrant-config_builder –> adds role to share vagrant config (similar to the beaker nodeset file)
- PDK is a set of oscar roles
- facter / hiera and Puppet running off GitHub
- beaker vs oscar – oscar is optimised for manual testing. There is room to share stuff here.
Cloudy with a Chance of Fireballs: Provisioning and Certificate Management in Puppet – Eric Sorenson (@ahpook), Puppet Labs – Slides
- Apple iCloud uses Puppet + autosign
- auto sign doesn't work very well for the cloud
- Amazon IAM can be applied by machines – IAM so instance can read it's own tags (if it has ec2-client-utils installed)
- puts instance_id, ami_id and role into /etc/puppet/csr_attriubutes.yaml
- can validate the metadata in the cert using x509
- true_node_data = true & immutable_node_data = true
- closes security hole of setting certname to fact on agent
Beaker: Automated, Cloud-Based Acceptance Testing – Alice Nodelman (@alicenode), Puppet Labs – Slides
Having contributed to this tool, I was a little bias in attending this talk. Still plenty of interesting new things that came up though. If you haven't heard of beaker yet you will also be interested in our previous blog post.
- basic introduction to what beaker is and how to use it.
- rspec vs test dsl – both are still supported methods of writing tests.
- junit export – useful when integrating with Jenkins
on host as– is a feature that is coming soon so that you can run a command on a host with a given user account
Puppet Language 4.0 – Henrik Lindberg (@hel), Puppet Labs – Slides
Lots and lots of interesting information here about the new Puppet 4 syntax and jokes about some of the terrible edge cases of the past. It is good to know now that with Puppet 4 there is a formal specification for the language so we should no longer see these sorts of weird edge cases of the past. There are also lots of new features in the language: some to deal with long standing pain points (interation), some to help in the move away from ruby (Puppet templates) and some to prevent authors themselves writing buggy manifests (the type system). Puppet 4 is going to be an exciting this to use.
- pain-points / cleanup (specification)
- numbers are numbers (and not strings)
- Type references
- heredoc
- Puppet templates
- iteration (each, map, filter, reduce, slice, with)
- local defaults
- Type system
7 Puppet Horror Stories in 7 Years – Kris Buytaert (@KrisBuytaert), Inuits – Slides
This was more of an interactive talk, trying to get members of the audience to try and predict what the actual problem was. For more senior Puppetiers this was a fun talk, reminding us of the challenges many of us have faced. For newer Puppet developers this was likely acting as a good warning and foreshadowing of things that may arise if your not careful (or are very unlucky).
- Full Disk
- Puppet Bugs
- DNS (everything is a DNS problem)
Killer R10K Workflow – Phil Zimmerman (@phil_zimmerman), Time Warner Cable – Slides
This was a good introduction to r10k and the reasons you would want to use it. The workflow is pretty straightforward and I think that for anyone managing Puppet at scale this is going to be something to look at.
- some good use cases for r10k
- upgrading modules
- not having to wait for all role tests to run
- deploying everything to all masters (even hiera)
- workflow
- ci per module
- release job per module (tags)
- deploy job per module (cap task to wrap r10k for masters/nodes)

In 2016, UNICEF and partners plan for:
unaccompanied and separated children benefitted from family tracing and reintegration follow up
pregnant or lactating women benefitted from a nutrition package
people in cholera-affected areas benefitted from a complete WASH response package
2016 Requirements: US$13,400,000
Total affected population: 10 million
Total affected children: 4.3 million
Total people to be reached in 2016: 778,000 (35 per cent adults)
Total children to be reached in 2016: 506,200
The majority of the Haitian population is at risk of exposure to two or more natural hazards, including earthquakes, hurricanes, landslides, flooding, and particularly drought for the past three consecutive years. Food insecurity affects 560,000 people,1 including 17,000 children potentially suffering from malnutrition,2 and continues to force families to look for economic and education alternatives in urban areas, placing them at risk of new threats. Some 61,000 persons affected by the 2010 earthquake continue to live in camps in Port-au-Prince.3 Cholera is expected to directly affect 25,000 people and indirectly affect some 1.35 million people. The deportation of Haitians from the Dominican Republic will likely impact 171,000 people in 2016,4 including an estimated 800 unaccompanied children that will be in need of specific assistance and children in informal sites in the Southeast Department. Haiti remains a very fragile country with limited resources, ranking 163 out of 187 countries on the Human Development Index5 and classified as the 19th country most at risk of a humanitarian crisis.6
Humanitarian strategy
2016 Programme Targets
Child protection
- 800 unaccompanied and separated children benefitted from family tracing and reintegration follow up
- 17,000 children under 5 years suffering from malnutrition received treatment or a nutrition package at home
- 120,000 pregnant or lactating women benefitted from a nutrition package
- 200,000 people in cholera-affected areas benefitted from a complete WASH response package
- 70,000 people in drought-affected areas supported with emergency water access interventions
- 60,000 internally displaced persons benefitted from alternative sustainable sanitation strategies
- 313,000 people living in high-risk areas received cholera vaccination
UNICEF will continue to support local public health actors through improved surveillance and rapid response to cholera alerts, focusing on access to sustainable water and sanitation in areas most at risk and strengthening community-based surveillance. Children suffering from or at risk of malnutrition will be detected in time through the reinvigoration of sentinel surveillance systems. Such children will be referred to treatment facilities where they will benefit from the preventive package offered through infant and young child feeding and therapeutic foods for the treatment of malnutrition. In response to the deportation of Haitians from the Dominican Republic, UNICEF will support the Child Protection Brigade and the Institute of Social Welfare and Research (IBESR) to better care for unaccompanied migrant children. Four national non-governmental organizations (NGOs) will be supported to ensure adequate care and protection services for an estimated 800 children. UNICEF will advocate for the birth registration and civil documentation of migrant children. Child protection systems will be reinforced by strengthening the capacity of local actors, including those from government institutions and NGOs. UNICEF will work with the Haitian Civil Protection Agency to include children and women's vulnerabilities and specific needs in rapid emergency assessments. In the framework of the WASH cluster transition, UNICEF will continue to build the coordination and preparedness capacities of the Directorate of Water and Sanitation. UNICEF will also focus on disaster risk reduction, including child protection, as part of the sensitization given to teachers and education inspectors.
Results from 2015
As of 31 October 2015, UNICEF had received 40 per cent (US$7.8 million) of the US$19,134,343 appeal, in addition to US$7 million carried forward from 2014. In 2015, more than 6,700 targeted responses to cholera alerts were made within 48 hours of the alert and more than 3.1 million people were sensitized. UNICEF supported the distribution of 45,100 cholera kits, 368,000 soaps, 538,900 oral rehydration salts and 12,276 buckets during community-based health education sessions and through the establishment of more than 850 temporary chlorination points during outbreaks or for prevention in high-risk areas. UNICEF supported the Ministry of Health to vaccinate 38,600 people (including 16,200 children) against diphtheria. A total of 60,800 people living in camps in Port-au-Prince benefited from de-sludging services during the first quarter of 2015. As of 31 October, 16,140 children with acute malnutrition had been treated, and 544,000 children accessed preventive high-impact nutrition services. To ensure that every unaccompanied child deported from the Dominican Republic is placed in an institution and adequately cared for, UNICEF supported the deployment of 14 IBESR and Child Protection Brigade officers and contributed to the training of 128 International Organization for Migration (IOM) border surveyors, as well as other partner staff. As of November 2015, 26,500 children had benefited from individual assistance provided through these partner organizations.
Funding requirements
In line with the Global Humanitarian Overview and Humanitarian Needs Overview,14 UNICEF is requesting US$13.4 million to meet the humanitarian needs of children and women in Haiti in 2016. With this funding, UNICEF will be able to sustain the level of surveillance and rapid response required for each case of cholera, ensure nutritional surveillance and treatment of children suffering from SAM, assist children and vulnerable people deported from the Dominican Republic, and reinforce emergency preparedness capacities within government counterparts and in schools in high-risk areas.
1 Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, September 2015.
2 Preliminary (unofficial) results of a quick nutrition survey in the 20 communes most affected by the drought indicate alarming rates: Global acute malnutrition (GAM) average of 8.4 per cent; six communes in alert with a GAM greater than 10 per cent, out of which two communes would be above the emergency threshold with a GAM greater than 15 per cent and SAM between 8 and 10 per cent. The total estimated number of children in those 20 communes is 210,557, indicating approximately 17,686 children likely already affected by a form of malnutrition.
3 International Organization for Migration, June 2015.
4 Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and the International Organization for Migration, November 2015.
5 United Nations Development Programme, 'Human Development Index', 2015.
6 Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, 2015 Inform Index.
7 Funding restrictions did not allow for the implementation of this activity in 2015.
8 Due to a late decision related to the global cholera vaccine stockpile and the late arrival of the vaccines in Haiti, the campaign is now planned for early 2016.
9 This includes US$600,000 for the Ministry of Health cholera emergency response teams.
10 This includes US$800,000 for the WASH emergency response in drought-affected areas.
11 This includes US$500,000 to US$1 million for reproductive health services for teenage pregnancy, child rights and protection education along the border, as well as support for government institutions (IBESR, Child Protection Brigade) for birth registration/documentation and protection mechanism strengthening for migrant children; and for national NGOs to ensure adequate care services for at least 800 unaccompanied children.
12 Child rights and protection sensitization programmes in schools.
13 Includes activities in schools for disaster risk sensitization and simulation exercises.
14 The Humanitarian Response Plan for Haiti is under discussion between the United Nations, donors and non-governmental organizations and the initial proposed budgets may evolve over the next few of weeks.

Only Love
Miss You Finally
But I miss you finally
But I miss you finally
Try to remember all these years
We shared the love we shared the tears
Thought that forever it would be
I realize you lie to me
I still hold on
Still dream of days when we were one
You played with my heart
You played with my mind
But I miss you finally
Right from the start
My love made me blind
But I miss you finally
All of these promises you made
This 4 letter word it seems to...
Baby it's hard to understand
Now that you're gone
We reached the end
I still believe
Still dream of days when we were one
[Chorus 3X]
You played with my heart
You played with my mind
Right from the start
My love made me blind

Podcast : Sub-Saharan Africa Getting a Grip on Inflation
September 10, 2015
Inflation can determine a currency's purchasing power as high inflation means rising prices. But what drives inflation differs from region to region. In this podcast we talk with Oral Williams, IMF Mission Chief for Malawi and coauthor of a new research paper that shows the drivers of inflation are changing in sub-Saharan Africa.
Regional Economic Outlook: Sub-Saharan Africa
After an extended period of strong economic growth, many sub-Saharan African countries have been hit by a multiple of shocks—the sharp decline in commodity prices, tighter financing conditions, and a severe drought in southern and eastern Africa. Growth fell in 2015 to its lowest level in some 15 years and is expected to slow further to 3 percent in 2016. The growth performance, however, differs across countries, with most oil importers faring reasonably well. The region's medium-term prospects remain favorable but many countries urgently need to reset their policies to reinvigorate growth and realize this potential. To this end, countries should adjust fiscal policies, and for those outside monetary unions, exchange rate flexibility, as part of a wider policy package, should also generally be part of the first line of defense. In the medium term, policies targeted at diversification and financial sector development could also strengthen resilience and boost growth.
Departmental Papers on Africa
The Departmental African Paper Series covers research on Sub-Saharan Africa conducted by International Monetary Fund (IMF) staff, particularly on issues of broad regional or cross-country interest. The views expressed in these papers are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the IMF, its Executive Board, or IMF management.
IMF Opens Africa Training Institute in Mauritius
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) on June 26, 2014 opened the Africa Training Institute (ATI) in Ebene, Mauritius, adding an important regional center to a global network of centers helping to develop countries' policymaking capacity by transferring economic skills and best practices.

Treatment & Monitoring
Corrosion Treatment
Lead and copper enter drinking water primarily through plumbing materials. In the Portland area, lead in drinking water is primarily a result of household plumbing materials, especially when built or plumbed between 1970 and 1985 with copper pipes and lead solder.
The Portland Water Bureau's corrosion control treatment reduces corrosion in plumbing by adding sodium hydroxide, which increases the pH of the water. Corrosion treatment has reduced the presence of lead in tap water by more than half.
Untreated water from the Bull Run Watershed is naturally corrosive, which could increase the amount of lead and copper that dissolves into drinking water.
In 1994, Portland completed a corrosion control study that indicated raising the pH to 9.0 and adjusting alkalinity to 20 mg/L could provide additional reduction of lead in water. The Portland City Council directed the Water Bureau to look at alternative methods to reduce exposure to lead. The result is Portland's current compliance program, which includes corrosion control treatment to adjust pH to 8.0.
In 2014, in anticipation of changes to the water system, the Portland Water Bureau secured funding to begin a water quality corrosion study. That study will inform potential changes in the future. We expect results in the summer of 2017.
In March 2016, EPA Region 10 contacted the Portland Water Bureau to discuss lead and corrosion control. As a result, the bureau requested meetings to discuss the issue further with OHA and EPA held in April and August 2016. In those meetings the bureau presented Portland's approach to complying with the Lead and Copper Rule and outlined its May 2014 corrosion control study.
The bureau is also evaluating treatment options that are available to achieve pH 9 and an alkalinity of 20 mg/L. Any recommendation for a change in treatment will be presented to the full City Council for review and approval.
Links to relevant communications, including the presentations from the April 2016 meeting, are provided below.
- 1997 letter from Oregon Health Authority to Portland Water Bureau approving the LHRP as optimal corrosion control treatment
- 2016 letter from Portland Water Bureau to Oregon Health Authority to request a meeting to discuss Lead and Copper Rule compliance
- 2016 letter from the Environmental Protection Agency to Oregon Health Authority regarding the 2016 letter from PWB to OHA
- April 2016 presentation by PWB to OHA and EPA
- August 2016 presentation by PWB to OHA and EPA
High-Risk Home Monitoring
Twice each year the Portland Water Bureau and regional water providers in the Bull Run service area to monitor the effectiveness of corrosion control for lead and copper in tap water by testing a sample group of more than 100 homes. These are homes in the Bull Run service area where the plumbing is known to contain copper pipes and lead solder, which is more likely to contribute to elevated lead levels. These homes represent a worst-case scenario for lead in water.
Sample collection instructions for the homeowners follow EPA-recommended procedures. Samples are collected by the homeowners after the water has been standing in the household plumbing for more than 6 hours. When samples are returned to the Water Bureau, they are put through a screening process to ensure they meet the regulatory requirements before being sent to the lab. This ensures that the results from all the samples analyzed by the lab will be used to determine compliance with the Lead and Copper Rule and will not be invalidated due to sampling issues. If lead levels are over 15 parts per billion*, the action level established by the Environmental Protection Agency to monitor the effectiveness of corrosion treatment, in more than 10% of these homes, the Portland Water Bureau notifies its customers and performs outreach and education to those most at-risk for lead exposure.
*One part per billion corresponds to one penny in $10,000,000 or approximately one minute in 2,000 years.

possible changes[edit]
I don't know how one corrects Wikipedia's own comments, but the heading- "This page is about William Edward Morris, the Scottish writer, designer, artist and socialist. For other people see William Morris (disambiguation)" -is bizarrely incorrect. Morris is not Scottish in any way, and his middle name was not Edward, as he had no middle name. He was born in Walthamstow, and both his parents were from Worcester. His paternal ancestors on both sides were Welsh, if one goes back far enough. I am very confused at this "ambiguation" note, and wonder if anyone can correct it. 188.8.131.52 (talk) 03:45, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
- Fixed now, it seems to be a remnant of a whole series of subtle vandalism, and no one caught it. - PKM (talk) 04:06, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
I'm not normally a contributor to wikimedia, so I don't know if it is appropriate for me just to wade in and make changes here; I'll say what I intend to do, and come back in a few days to see if anyone has said not to...
- The 'overview' is opinionated - in my view plain wrong, but certainly not neutral POV, and should be dropped.
- The end note about IKEA is irrelevant and should be dropped
- Morris was famous in his own life as (and saw himself as) a poet. An encyclopedia entry which doesn't say more about this has something mssing, and I propose adding a new subsection
Marinheiro 20:41, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
Made those changes; I think it reads ok, though the (very good) section on the Kelmscott Press is a little out of place following Morris' death in the previous paragraph..
The problem with Morris is that he did so many totally different things exceptionally well it's difficult to stop a short article being rather 'bitty'. It also means he certainly can't be pigion-holed into a single 'category'.
Marinheiro 23:36, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
I've never commented or edited anything here, but I find the bit in the paragraph on Commonweal where it identifies that magazine as the "first place his published [work]" began to appear inaccurate. In fact, he had published poems and other writings in the Oxford and Cambridge Magazine and elsewhere decades earlier. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 22:58, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
name change[edit]
I've made a copy-edit that may offend some -- I have changed Morris' to Morris's throughout, as both forms were present, and the former is strictly incorrect. Adams' is fine, as the final s sounds like a plural, Jesus' and Herodutus' are conventional, but the final s in Morris is not the same sound as the plural or possessive, so Morris' is simply wrong (and anyone who writes Marx' should be shot :-)).
I've made a quick check through the history, and I think Morris's precedes Morris', if this is taken as a cis-/trans-atlantic English difference (ie US/UK). BrendanH 15:00, Apr 16, 2004 (UTC)
- I'm being a complete pedant, and I have "reverted" to "Morris's" (and dropped the apostrophe after "Press" where it could be taken as adjectival), on the same grounds that I did nearly two years ago. "Morris'" is simply not correct, though common in the US. Most style guides that I have looked at (Handbook of MLA, Chicago Manual of Style, Strunk and White, Hart's Rules) either counsel against it or give examples like "Paris's". BrendanH 22:01, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
- Jesus's, Herodotus's and Adams's are correct, not Jesus', Herodotus' and Adams'. Style guides always warn against doing that even if it is a common era. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 20:46, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
- Or a common error? Headhitter (talk) 14:24, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
It is policy (see Wikipedia:categories) that it should be obvious to anyone, coming from the category to the article, why the article is in the category. In other words, before categorizing Morris as a Marxist theorist, discuss News from Nowhere and the socialist essays. (The result of the discussion may lead to Category:anarchists as well, or instead; but that's a question to be established by editing.)Septentrionalis 04:00, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
Critique of Morris link[edit]
A critique of Morris can be found on [1]. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Szczels (talk • contribs) (08:59, 3 February 2006)
I was wondering if the scoialism section should be expanded more. Morris was at first a supporter of Gladstone as he was against Disraeli's agressive foreign policy but then grew disillusioned under Gladstones government. Although remembered as a poet he was influential at the time as well (Trafalgar square riot etc). I'm not the man for the job but I think this is quite a key area, and one that many people would say should be expanded. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk • contribs) (12:25, 9 May 2006)
- I agree - this section as it stands now (March 09) is not only incomplete but somewhat misleading. I'm going to add just a couple of lines drawn from the Thompson biography and hope that there's a Morris scholar out there who will do more.
Page reorganization and edits[edit]
I made some fairly substantial changes to the article, and I want to spell out my reasons here:
- First, I moved most of the opening down, and split it into three sections, because it made more sense to discuss that substantial span of time between his birth and his meeting the other future Pre-Raphaelites in the main text than crammed into the opening.
- I also created a new section for his writings, under which I created subsections on poetry, translations, and his fantasy writing.
Now, the sections on this early life, education, the Pre-Raphaelites, etc., need to be expanded. And, how can there be little or no mention in this article of the Arts and Crafts Movement? Many improvements still to be made. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 02:18, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Sale of important Morris piece[edit]
I don't know if it's worthy of inclusion, but a major tapestry by the Morris Workshop currently owned by Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page is being sold. [2] Anchoress · Weigh Anchor · Catacomb 03:02, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Jimmy Page owns the Holy Grail tapestry? Wow. Thanks for posting that. - PKM (talk) 16:03, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
a cousin of mine sold a carpet in the nineties for about AU$300,000. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Plumes (talk • contribs) 20:59, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
I've added some basic info on embroidery, printed and woven textiles, and tapestry.
Some to-do's:
- Carpets
- How Morris's preference for medieval tapestry and dislike of renaissance styles threw the latter out of favor for about 100 years (I have a reference on this, have to dig it up); it's an important indicator of the impact of Morris's aesthetic.
- PKM (talk) 23:45, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Color Picture Please[edit]
Is it possible to update this to a color picture? This painting looks like it would be great in color. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 05:31, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
GA Review[edit]
- This review is transcluded from Talk:William Morris/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.
Hello. I'll be doing the GA review for this article. Here are some suggestions for improvement:
- Per WP:LEAD, the lead should summarize all the main points of the article. For an article this size, it should be three or four full paragraphs.
- His biography only has one citation. Inline citations are needed for verifiability. This applies to the entire article.
- I've expanded the biography significantly with material from the 1911 Britannica. I'll add some polish and additional citations as time permits. - PKM (talk) 00:29, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- Added more citations, and expanded. - PKM (talk) 17:59, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- Done. - PKM (talk) 18:00, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
- The legacy section needs to be expanded, so it isn't comprised of three one to two sentence paragraphs.
- Notable collections and house museums needs to be turned into prose.
- The pictures need to be next to the text that describes/mentions them. If there are too many pictures for this to be the case, consider trimming out the ones of lesser importance and moving them to the gallery.
The article will be on hold for seven days to make these initial changes. Nikki311 20:09, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks.
Actually, as a contributor I oppose GA status for this article - the bio section needs serious work.- PKM (talk) 22:28, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
- Having expanded the biography significantly, I am withdrawing my objection in principle, though this still needs work. - PKM (talk) 00:29, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- The article is now at
43KB47KB, do we need to consider removing Kelmscott Press (wuth its list of works) to its own article? - PKM (talk) 20:53, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- Expanded translations, Red House Morris & Co., textiles along with bio. Still needed, I think:
More on marriage, more on Kelmscott Manor, critical assessment (in Legacy)and as Nikki stated above, a proper lead.- PKM (talk) 20:53, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- I think it is notable enough to have its own article, but that's up to you. I usually don't start making new articles until it hits around 60 or so. Since there is still more info to add to the areas you mentioned above, it might be a good idea. Also, I'm going to allow more than a week, since you are making so much progress. Just let me know here when you are done adding what you wanted to add, and I'll look it over for a more thorough review. Nikki311 23:19, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- I've reworked the "Morris Today" section as "Legacy" but that's about all I will get done this weekend. It's become very long. Perhaps the blockquote is too much? I'd appreciate your thoughts at this stage. Thanks! - PKM (talk) 23:57, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- Lead expanded. We're now at 53KB, so maybe it's not too long. I still want to tighten up the prose here and there. - PKM (talk) 17:54, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
- Still to do: Morris's design aesthetic (it's in my bones, just need to find the right citations to back that up). - PKM (talk) 18:00, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
- I think it is notable enough to have its own article, but that's up to you. I usually don't start making new articles until it hits around 60 or so.

- I think this is ready for re-review now. - PKM (talk) 21:19, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks.
Okay. I've looked over the new/expanded version, and here are the initial things that jumped out at me:
- The lead is too long. It is supposed to be just a summary, and right now, it reads more like a narrative.
- I like pictures as much as the next person, but I still think there are too many. Really, there should only be pictures when it aides in the understanding of the text to which it is adjacent. All the other images can be moved to the gallery.
- The poetry section could use some citations.
- The couple of web sources need to be formatted with Template:cite web.
I'll check the text more in more depth when these are fixed. Nikki311 01:38, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- The comment about moving images to the gallery is interesting; in the FA reviews I have observed, the push is always to move images into the text. As it happens, there's a very similar gallery, only better organized, in Morris & Co., and I think I'll reduce some duplication of images.
- Anyway, I will tackle these fixes next. - PKM (talk) 03:05, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- All done and ready for review again. - PKM (talk) 02:40, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
Wow. It is looking like a completely different article! Here are the last (I think) suggestions and/or questions:
- The marriage and family section needs citations, especially the second paragraph.
- The Defence of Guenevere and Other Poems - do you mean defense or is that the British-English spelling?
That's it. Add a few cites in that one small section, and I'll feel very comfortable passing this to GA. Nikki311 01:04, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
Truly impressive work. This article is now a GA. Nikki311 16:27, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
This article was once (a year or so ago) too short and rather patchy, but recognizeably a wikipedia entry. Now the main body is mostly a cut-and-paste job from a 1911 encyclopedia with incredibly stilted english, coyly dated attitudes and euphemisms (re Jane's affairs), dated political attitudes (what modern reader would know what 'the advanced party' meant in a contemporary text) etc. So it's got references. How does that make it a good article? You would be better off reading the 1911 encyclopedia article directly, at least there it's clear exactly what it is that you're reading. Annoyed, Marinheiro (talk) 16:04, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
Also - the photo of the 'Morris chair' - shouldn't it be made clear this isn't a chair designed by Morris, but a modern chair in the style called a 'Morris chair' which is a distant descendant of Morris's own chairs? See http://www.victorianweb.org/authors/morris/morisco.html for some pictures of the actual (quite different) chairs made by Morris & co. Marinheiro (talk) 16:18, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
- A year ago the article was short, patchy, and dead wrong on many important facts. Between excerpts from the 1911 EB and from the Mackail biography, there is a lot of old-fashioned prose here, and hopefully over time editors will find the time to improve the text.
- I completely agree about the Morris chair photo, and I have removed it. A better option would be to add a discussion of Morris chairs with period photos at Morris & Co.. - PKM (talk) 17:32, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
I don't remember anything wrong about the older article. I'll try to be specific about some of the things I think are wrong about the current one. I'm not correcting them on the page itself because in some cases I'm not certain I'm right, and in others it would mean changing more than isolated 'facts'. I'm concentrating on the section on socialism because that's the part I know more about, but I suspect there are as many problems with the other bits; eg.
- The frescoes, done too soon and too fast, began to fade at once and are now barely decipherable; but the broken designs, so long as any vestige remains, will always be interesting as a relic of an important aesthetic movement and as the first attempt on Morris's part towards the decorative arts.
I believe this was the case in 1911 but that there is nothing of them left now. Does any reader here know for sure?
Anyway, the section entitled Socialism. This is Mackail's view, and is intended to minimize Morris's involvement. There is a strong statement of this in Thompson's biography. In particular, he tries to shorten the time that Morris was involved:
- Thenceforward for two years his advocacy of the cause of socialism absorbed not only his spare time, but the thought and energy of all his working hours.
This is easy to disprove: Nick Salmon's day-by-day chronology of Morris's life (http://www.marxists.org/archive/morris/works/chrono.htm) shows that for the whole period up to the founding of the Kelmscott press he was doing almost nothing but socialist-related activities; that is, for a period of 10, not two, years.
Mackail goes on:
- For it he even neglected literature and art.
Rubbish. What are News from Nowhere, Poems by the Way, the Dream of John Ball, The House of the Wolfings etc? Don't they count as literature because they have a socialist content?
- February 1885 a new organ, Commonweal, began to print Morris's rallying-songs
True, but not mentioning that Morris was funding, editing, and practically writing the whole thing single-handed is pretty misleading
- in February 1886, Morris remonstrated with the anarchic section he was denounced by the advanced party and ever afterwards was regarded with suspicion.
What on earth did this mean? In fact he tried to mediate between the anarchists and the Engels clique and ended up pleasing neither. So who in this sentence are 'the advanced party'? I would guess Engels, except that Engels didn't ever 'denounce' him in public and thought he was too soft on the anarchists, not too hard. And who is meant to have 'regarded him with suspicion'. This sentence is a mix of factual wrongness and complete incomprehensibility.
- in 1889 [ .. ]gradually lost all confidence in the movement as an active force
Again, very misleading. Here's a description of Morris giving a socialist speech the year before he died:
- The last time I saw Morris he was speaking from a lorry pitched on a piece of waste land close to the Ship Canal... It was a wild March Sunday morning, and he would not have been asked to speak out of doors, but he had expressed a desire to do so, and so there he was, talking with quiet strenuousness, drawing a laugh now and then from the undulating crowd, of working men mostly, who stood in the hollow and on the slopes before him... Many there were hearing and seeing the man for the first time, most of us were hearing him for the last time; and we all looked and listened as though we knew it.
You could argue the sentence is based on the words 'active force', that he believed in the ideas but no longer in the socialist party. But Mackail omits to say that he began working for the SDF again after 1889.
Marinheiro (talk) 15:03, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for that cogent analysis of the problems with the sections on socialism; that is not my strong suit, as I am more interested in textile arts, poetry, and the Kelmscott press, and as a result I took my sources as I found them. What I am trying for is a complete picture of the man in all his interests and impacts.
- The rewrite was a (possibly overly hasty) response to a GA article nomination that I felt would do wikipedia a disservice if passed as the article then stood.
- Since you seem to have a grasp on the socialist aspect of Morris's life, could we persuade you to make the appropriate edits in the article? I was hoping someone with an understanding of the wider context would do so. - PKM (talk) 19:36, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
After a huge delay I finally got around to reorganizing some of the section on Socialism. I don't edit much on wikipedia and am not too sure of referencing requirements - I can back up pretty much any statement I've added with a reference if needed - please point it out if you think it does! In the meantime I've just added a reference to Nick Salmon's 'Chronology' which does cover a lot of the points made. Marinheiro (talk) 23:10, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
Just want to point out that one paragraph is taken verbatim from Mackail's lecture: "For several years after his marriage . . ." See pages 9 and 10 of William Morris: An Address Delivered . . . Purslane (talk) 17:38, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
Graphic position[edit]
The LEFT / RIGHT / LEFT / RIGHT / LEFT / RIGHT placement of graphics was quite a mess and made things very uncomfortable to read and navigate. I took some time getting all the graphics shifted to the right, where they help illustrate without impeding the flow. Please don't be in a hurry to revert this, it's a lot better than it was, I think. Carrite (talk) 04:12, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
- Alternating images left and right is standard, approved procedure. I am sorry you spent so much time moving the images around, because I don't think it improves the article at all - the images are not more closely placed with their associated text. - PKM (talk) 01:34, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
The current introduction has two paragraphs. They read like two alternate introductions, rather than complementing one another. The second paragraph has no material that isn't in the body of the article. I'm going to merge some of the second para in with the first and delete the rest. If anyone objects to this and reverts it, could you leave an explanation here? Thanks. Marinheiro (talk) 20:46, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
- Go for it. I'm wrapped up in another project, but I'll look over the other edits soon. - PKM (talk) 06:24, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
Suggestion for Monuments[edit]
I lived in William Morris tower at University of Essex. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ratarsed/3974652447/
One of my professors pointed out the irony that a proponent of handmade textiles would be memorialized by this building. If the image above isn't enough for you, please note that this building is one of a quartet. I was looking for this information online to share with a friend (it is a story that has stuck with me) and didn't find any discussion of how inappropriate this 'monument' to William Morris is.
I'm not a wikipedia contributor, so I thought I'd post this here. Someone who knows all the etiquette perhaps will be moved to make the edit. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 16:48, 14 May 2012 (UTC) John W.
- Not sure how we'd work it in, but it's certainly a bit ironic. Though, actually, the building does have a certain beauty in the photograph ... pity about the dustbins, tho'. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:51, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
notable collection at University of Maryland Libraries[edit]
Hello all. My name is Eric Cartier and I work at the University of Maryland Libraries, which has a significant William Morris collection, some of which is featured in our current exhibition How We Might Live: The Vision of William Morris. Have a look at our holdings here: http://lib.guides.umd.edu/william_morris If others believe our collection to be notable, would someone be willing to write a line or two about and externally link to our collection guide? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ecartier (talk • contribs) 17:41, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Libertarian Marxist citation needed[edit]
i added a tag which was reverted without discussion. [3]. the reverting editor stated this was explained in the body, which is fine, however, i still request the specific citation as none of the current sources even mention libertarian, much less the far more rare Libertarian Marxist. Darkstar1st (talk) 09:43, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
'and' in section heading[edit]
Not convinced of the need to have 'Red House and Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co: 1859–65' as a section heading; aside from a general feeling that 'A and B' generally means 2 sections, in this case the B is already the next section of the article. Suggest we revert to 'Red House' and simply move the company material to the next section. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:04, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
- Apologies for the late reply, but I have only just checked the talk page. I can appreciate your viewpoint Chiswick Chap, however I believe that the reforms are better than the original system, given that they adopt a chronological, as opposed to thematic, approach to Morris' life; and that is what Wikipedia convention (and perhaps also policy?) supports. Best, Midnightblueowl (talk) 18:35, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
- Well, if time is the criterion, then why not just name the periods? Thus a history article might have Mediaeval, Renaissance, Modern; this article might have the period "1859–65" (perhaps we might call it "Companies"), which might contain 2, 3 or 27 companies and activities within it. (On the general question of whether chronology is better or worse than themes, I venture no opinion: either can be better depending on the situation, and sometimes both are required.)
- Your statement that time, not company, is the chosen criterion confirms my suspicion (prior position, if you like) that an "and" in a section heading betrays an underlying cause; or of course, it might betray a simple lack of unity and a ragbag "miscellaneous" section. Since you deny miscellany, I suggest you name the section clearly by the criterion that defines it, viz, the time period involved.
- This isn't merely aesthetic: it's a matter of defining sharply what one is talking about. If one is reluctant to define things sharply, leaving conjunctions in a section heading, the reader is entitled to wonder whether anything definite is being talked about at all. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:41, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
- Well, as it is we already do date the periods in these particular sub-section titles, and that (in my opinion) is an advantageous thing that aids the reader. So, given your statements above, I'm under the impression that we both agree on the benefits there. But I also champion the inclusion of a few words that outline the main factors of Morris' life in that particular period. Thus I have put together the sub-section title of "Red House and Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co: 1859–65" because the defining characteristics of Morris' life in this period were his construction and inhabitation of the Red House and the foundation of the Firm. These two events happened simultaneously, and thus in a chronologically structured article it is appropriate that they are included together, rather than being divided into two distinct (thematic) sections. Naturally, following on from this, an "and" is necessary in the title; it would be ridiculous to have "Red House, Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co: 1859–65" ! From my perspective, this makes perfect sense, and it is a system employed in many GA and FA quality biographical articles across Wikipedia.
- All in all, I hope that you are pleased with the rather substantial and systematic contributions that I have recently been making to this particular article; of course, I would welcome any feedback that you may have. Anyway, glad that you are staying vigilant – all the best! Midnightblueowl (talk) 21:38, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
- The article is very much improved, and your 'and' is indeed in a subsidiary part of the title, so there is unity there, I agree. I suspect, in fact, that my discomfort is aesthetic after all: it's a jolly long title (with punctuation, ahem, as well as conjunctions), and I will allow myself the luxury of observing that such a title does rather fill up everyone's edit comments! In short, titles should be short. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:30, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
- I am certainly pleased that you are happy with my additions, Chiswick Chap. Specifically regarding the sub-section title, do you have any proposed alternatives ? Perhaps "Red House and the Firm: 1859–65" ? Midnightblueowl (talk) 11:12, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, that might do. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:22, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
- Done! Midnightblueowl (talk) 13:06, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

20 in 2015 Book Challenge
Here is my list:
- Lisey's Story by Stephen King (King said this is his favorite book of his. It had a slow start but it finally got going and I enjoyed it. But it's far from my favorite).
- Hellboy in Hell Volume 1 by Mike Mignola (Not much to say here. It's Hellboy. It's Mignola. It's always awesome)
- The Colorado Kid by Stephen King (A enjoyed this a lot. Engaging story, likable characters, quick read. Spoilers: Sure, I was disappointed there was no resolution to the case, but I get where he's coming from)
- Danger Girl/G.I. Joe by Andy Hartnell and John Royle (Fun, that's probably best describes it. Great mix of both series. The illustrator gets amazingly close to copying Campbell's style.)
- Savage Wolverine Volume 1: Kill Island by Frank Cho (Popcorn movie of books. Awesome art. Big fun)
- For Whom the Cowbell Tolls: 25 Years of Paul's Boutique by Dan LeRoy and Peter Relic (A must for any true Beastie Boys fan. I could have used some more insight into the making of the album rather than some of the other chapters where people talk about the impact it had on them.)
- Luther: The Calling by Neil Cross (Pretty dark at times, but I loved the character from the show. Hope the author writes more)
- Invincible: The Ultimate Collection, Vol. 3 by Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley (Always great)
- A Pleasure and a Calling by Phil Hogan (I really liked this one a lot. Creepy main character. England. Twists. What more can you ask for?)
- Major League Chew by Rob Guillory, John Layman (Always a fun and sometimes disgusting read)
- Where Eagles Dare by Alistair MacLean (Always loved the movie and the Iron Maiden song, thought I'd give the book a try. Also great)
- The Rook by Daniel O'Malley (One of my favorites for the year. I never walk into a book store anymore, discover a book and buy it. I always have a stack of books, and to-read lists. But I saw this book, was intrigued and bought it. Great book. Mix Hellboy, Buffy, Harry Potter and X-Men together and it's something like that.)
- America's Favorite Radio Station: WKRP in Cincinnati by Michael B. Kassel (If you're hardcore fan of WKRP, I'd recommend it. I was disappointed that half of the book is an episode guide, which back in pre-internet early 90s, would have pretty cool but not today)
- Beastie Boys Book Deluxe by Frank Owen (Even though this wasn't a very in-depth book, I did actually learn a few tidbits. Had lots of photos and a nice layout)
- Guns of the Timberlands, Hondo, Ride the Dark Trail, The Man Called Noon, and Dark Canyon by Louis L'Amour (Continuing by plan to read more Westerns, I've yet to read one of his I haven't liked)
- The Art of Robert E McGinnis by Robert E McGinnis and Art Scott (Amazing book, must-have for fans of this type of art)
- The Walking Dead Chronicles: The Official Companion Book by Paul Ruditis (Nice look into the first season and how they adapted the comic to TV)
- This is Spinal Tap: Official Companion Edited by Karl French (Got this for a buck. It was fun to read the script but the back half of the book was kind of filler)
- Somebody Owes Me Money by Donald E. Westlake (Good read if you like the genre)
- The Ritual by Adam Nevill (Creepy book. First time reading this guy's stuff, planning to read more. The first half of this was awesome, the second have was good.)
- Planet of the Apes 1, 2 and 3 by George Alex Effinger (Recommended only if you're a big POTA fan)
- Joyland by Stephen King (One of my favorites of the year. Best Stephen King I've read in a few years)
- Mary and Lou and Rhoda and Ted by Jennifer Keishin Armstrong (Recommended if you like behind the scenes stuff and 70s sitcoms)
- I Love You Beth Cooper by Larry Doyle (Read this in two days. Quick read, obviously. Thought it was funny. Never saw the movie, may have to see how it compares, heard it was lacking)
- Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (Never read it before. This guy might be going places)
- The Martian by Andy Weir (One of the best I read this year.)
- Conan the Wanderer and Conan the Adventurer by Robert E. Howard, L. Sprague de Camp, Lin Carter (Always entertaining)
- Dexter's Final Cut by Jeff Lindsay (Dexter books are always entertaining, there were some things in this one that I thought were odd, but still good)
- The Cocktail Waitress by James M. Cain (Decent read, little clunky at times. Bought it for a dime, so i think I came out ahead)
- Southern Bastards Vol 1 and 2 by Jason Aaron and Jason LaTour (Really loved these. Art and story are great. Gritty.)
- Helter Skelter by Vincent Bugliosi and Curt Gentry (This was a reread for me. I read it for the first time almost 20 years ago, still a fascinating read)
- Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel (One of my favorites this year. But I'm a sucker for post apocalyptic stuff)
- The Hidden Man by Anthony Flacco (Not great, but still enjoyable. Pacing seemed awkward)
- The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins (Had to see what the fuss was about. I liked it. I assume it'll be a movie before long).
- The Ticket: Full Disclosure by Scott Boyter (A boy that would only appeal to the tiniest amount of people, but I was one of them)
- Splinter of the Mind's Eye by Alan Dean Foster (Most disappointing book in a while. Had this book as a kid but never read it. Got a copy and read it 30 something years later. I found it very boring and sluggish)
- Dark Harvest by Norman Partridge (Recommended by a friend. Great October reading.)
- The End of Summer: Thirteen Tales of Halloween by J. Tonzelli (Came across this book when looking for Dark Harvest and I'm glad I did. Well done Halloween stories)
- Han Solo at Stars' End by Brian Daley (I liked this way more than Splinter of the Mind's Eye)
- The Cold Dish by Craig Johnson (I like the show, starting to read the book. There are some differences but I liked it)
- Revival by Stephen King (Good one)
