(answering Rui)

I'm currently reading 3 books - in english, alas - so here it goes:

From: "Imbibe! From absinthe cocktail to whiskey smash, a salute in stories and drinks to "Professor" Jerry Thomas, pioneer of the American bar" by David Wondrich (more here).

"Early evidence is lacking, but by the early 1800's Sangaree (usually based on Madeira) is a constant feature in traveler's tales of the Caribbean."

No, I haven't gone alcoholic. These days, I'm fascinated by cocktail trivia and, if may say so, its culture.

***

From: "Solaris" by Stanislaw Lem (more here)

"We have plenty of time."

I usually don't read sci-fi but this is too good to be missed.

***

From: "The Tempest" by Uncle Bill

"We are brought to the heart of the matter by the cantankerous assertion, spoken by Miranda, but obviously the thought and vocabulary of her father."

(unfortunately The Tempest is quite a short play so the above is from an essay by George Lamming which is included in my copy)

It seems that we are now spying on everywhere. When the world does not feel safe, schools and businesses to return to the use of electronic means. Usually, this consists of hidden cameras. Sometimes there is even a bathroom hidden cameras. Schools are using more and more surveillance. That should help keep students safe. It also helps solve crimes that have already occurred. Knowing the cameras have reason to think students before they came to misbehavior. hidden camera [url="http://geocities.com/hentaioza"]hidden camera[/url]
