[lace] IOLI Bulletin
Gentle Spiders, Mine came today, no joke (despite the date). Excellent timing, since I just finished reading the Canadian Lace Gazette this morning (reading lace-related publications before breakfast is my equivalent of a cup of cofee to get me going before I brave the world at large), and am now looking forward to tomorrow. I haven't _read_ anything as yet, but, flipping through, noticed several pages devoted to Patchwork Lace (also known as Normandy Lace), which I'm glad to see; not my cup o'T precisely, since I'm not overfond of needles as lace tools, but interesting. And Devon Thein has an article, as usual, but has taken a break from scouring museums, and writes about her experiences and experiments in Wire Lace instead. Which is fine with me -- Devon's sense of humour is delightful no matter what subject she picks, and I'm looking forward _greatly_ to reading that article, which, I hope, will be full of trials and tribulations gently ridiculed. But, the greatest and most immediate pleasure came from seeing -- in an article titled Lace Making Fairs in Catalonia (Spain) -- a photo of Carolina de la Guardia Gallego at her witch-stitch lace. Nice to meet you at long last, Carolina :) For those who have not yet seen Carolina's new designs in old witch stitch lace, here's her second book, with links to the first and other goodies: http://www.geocities.com/carolgallego/brujoeng2.html -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [lace-chat] Why?
I'm not at all shy about expressing political opinions myself - BUT I feel that when they involve such sensitive issues, it is more courteous not to put them on lists dedicated to other purposes. I know I can simply hit delete, but I'd prefer to keep everyone on the list as a friend, and when opinions about sensitive topics cause people to leave the list or become offended, that becomes difficult. -- -- Martha Krieg [EMAIL PROTECTED] in Michigan To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [lace-chat] Why?
Since I mistook the understanding that Lace-chat was open for any discussion, and having read many of Tamara's dissertations with which I did not agree, I posted something that may cause my being sanctioned. Thus, I am unsubscribing from Lace-chat. just as soon as this message is posted.

RE: [lace-chat] Moderator ruling
The moderator is back. As Jane mentioned, I don't check the computer during Shabbat (Friday just before sundown to Saturday after sundown), so if you want to flame each other with wild abandon, you picked the right time! I've skimmed through the political messages, but I'm not going to read them in detail. Have you all gotten this off your chests? Do you think we could get back to less emotionally touchy subjects? This is a nice group and it would be a shame to lose members because of political differences. And can someone please tell me what WD-40 is?

[lace-chat] WD40
Dear Avital, WD-40 is a product that has many uses - see David's email - however - Wikipedia says - WD-40 is the trademark of a widely-used penetrating oil (cleaner, lubricant and anti-corrosive solution) developed in 1953 by Norm Larsen, then working for the Rocket Chemical Company. It stands for Water Displacement, 40th attempt (see below). Its first industrial use was by Convair, which used WD-40 to protect the outer skin of the Atlas missile from rust and corrosion. The product became commercially available on store shelves in San Diego in 1958. WD-40's name comes straight out of Norm Larsen's lab book. Larsen was attempting to concoct a formula to prevent corrosion a task which is done by displacing water. His persistence paid off when he perfected the formula on his 40th try. [1] At one time there was for sale in Mexico a similar product called WB-50 whose name apparently had no meaning other than to mark it as an alternative to WD-40. While its uses are many and varied, WD-40 should not be used as a general-purpose lubricant, as it dries out very quickly and collects dust. This can result in serious damage to machinery and equipment designed for use with heavy oils when they are lubricated with lightweight WD-40. Many handymen consider WD-40 and duct tape to be the two most important items in their toolbox. In The Duct Tape Guys' book WD-40, they proclaim Two rules get you through life: If it's stuck and it's not supposed to be, WD-40 it. If it's not stuck and it's supposed to be, duct tape it. It is especially helpful for taking apart metal objects (nuts and bolts) that have been exposed to the elements and are rusted together - such as ham radio antennas.. Best Regards, Carol Melton Valley of the Sun, Phoenix, AZ USA And can someone please tell me what WD-40 is?

[lace-chat] Eel Killing Tool - Poland, Germany
Dear Friends, I have been asked by a friend to ask my resources (aka lace-chat) if anyone knows of a supplier for a tool which is used to kill eels in Poland, Germany etc. Apparently this thing consists of two prongs to hold the eel down and a 3rd prong which is operated from the long handle and shoots through its head even a proper name for this tool would be a help so I could search on Google. My friend is anxious to acquire large numbers of these tools for use in Australia's Northern Territory to kill the Cane Toads which have invaded from Queensland.

Never heard of it, so don't know the name, even in Polish. But, perhaps, eel farming or some such term would elicit results? Because in Poland, most of the eels are no longer caught in the wild, but bred for the market in ponds (I think they need salt water, though, since all of the eel-farming seems to be concentrated in the north of Poland, near the Baltic). -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [lace-chat] WD40
Thanks, everyone who told me about WD-40. It does sound very useful. Now that I think of it, someone did send me an e-mail years ago: If it moves and it shouldn't, use duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. I think she recommended duct tape for my DS, although this morning, after the time change, I think WD-40 would be more appropriate. It's pouring outside. Mom, do I have to go to work today???
