There has been a thread on this before hence the pointlessness of having yet another new thread for it. But I accept your desires and will go away.

Jean-Michel, 'bitch' sessions are very important to the world if one wishes to see it move forward. You should learn to embrace them. Chivalric in English means having to do with Chivalry, not having to do with horses. What feats of arms did London Masters of Defense do? Were they feats of arms or c...

They change over time and by the later middle ages you'll find vernacular words intermixed with the latin. So even if you made one it wouldn't be of a lot of use unless you chose a specific time and place. For example what is a balista in 15th century York. Although the Mayors Vagina is much easier.

The newest line of Bernzomatic MAPP gas torches TS8000 work nicely for doing small areas of hot work. They have a trigger start and are hotter then the previous version. I used mine to give a different shape to some 16 ga elbow cops I have and while a bigger hotter flame capable of doing a larger ar...

It would be uber funny. It would be more of a nusance then anything else as the suit wouldn't get very far but we might have to gather money for legal costs and that would be annoying. But yea talk about ruining your buisness.

More then likely by purchasing admission to the museum and possibly just by entering it you are agreeing to whatever terms they have decided to place on it. So you would have to check with each site. Your publisher should have someone who knows the details of these kinds of things. If nothing else I...

One of the problems with many photos on the internet is that the rights to many of them are iffy because many collections allow you to take photos for personal use but not for publication. If your publisher will allow you to use more images but won't pay fees for them a couple of the earlier catalog...

Stoneware

I only have a couple of pieces of stoneware and they are great. My impression has always been that it is very hard to break and will more likely chip then break and that if you wanted to really break it you pretty much had to try. Are my impressions wrong? should I be more careful with my stoneware,...
