Nice instructions. I never knew how to make a rag rug and often wondered at the technique. Thanks so much for sharing.

I love my spindle. It spins longer than the one I bought!

James VI of Scotland and I of England is the same person at least!

I'm never sure whether to feel sorry for Mary, Queen of Scots, or roll my eyes at her weakness. She never seemed to be able to grasp control of her fortunes, despite being perfectly placed to do so.

My head's spinning with all these Jameses. Poor Mary (Jr.) I think she got a rough deal. (Losing her head for one....) :-(

UnnamedHarald > The e-mail you received is a little less offensive than it was originally (when I received it and prompted my article). At least I can say that, for once (and maybe the only time) Hubpages staff took note and used some of the copy I sent them (after they requested it) to amend the offensiveness of their curt e-mails.
Since then I have been consulted on another of their ill thought out intended changes.
I have not written an article at HP since that time - having converted to Wizzley (which is young, but has potential) - and creating my own websites, in order to ensure that nobody else can tell me what I can and cannot write.
You will find W to be a much more pleasant site - although you will also find that they are much more strict on quality writing issues. However, having read your first two articles, I am pretty sure you will not fall foul of any quality issues.
Welcome to W, and thanks for taking the time to make a comment.

i love tigers there my fav animal there ssssooooooooooooo cute and cuddly id love if i could take care of one

It can be one of two major ways (there are more, but these are the usual ones) - the first is the collusion of your ISP. They can track every site you go on, so they just filter out the ones to known torrent sites and provide a list to people like the TTVK.

The other popular one is to set up a 'sting' torrent. Given the girl's lack of success in downloading the album, I suspect that this is what happened in this case. The TTVK (or an associated company) sets up a fake torrent, with the express purpose of noting every IP that attempts to download it. The album was never there on that stream.

Yes, from where did they get the IP, from the Piracy web site itself? Is that likely? SY

They had the IP address and traced it through either their tracking devices or the ISP.

I can sometimes trace an IP address back to its source; and I don't have nearly the kind of software that these people can command.

I heard about that a few days ago. All of the old ones are going now. It's really sad; and it's changing the nature of the game.

I know that Runeshark aren't happy either. SoF, to my mind, has been more destructive than even the loss of the Wildy in 2010.

I thought so too. :) And congratulations to whoever is marrying to necessitate a card!

Thank you for your comment.

Wilfred Owen called that old lie from the trenches of World War One - dulce et decorum est pro patria mori. (It is sweet and right to die for one's country.) The reality is the narrative that history will always teach us. What it means to be patriotic changes from age to age, and depends upon what most benefits those making the rules.

Perhaps I'm one of those cynics whom you mention.

I will probably give that a try, Paul. Thanks. But not right now. Ha ha.

Let's forget for a moment the whole business of 'little girl with cute laptop', how the heck did the Copyright people get her address??? As for the rest I agree with what RyanK has aid above as I am in a similar situation, SY

SUOMI has apparently left the game (or at least playing a lot less). One of his videos said something similar to "the game has changed too much" and pointed at SoF, Solomon and EoC as the baddies.
RuneShark also talks about this in one of their videos.
