Editorial
Hello,
Right, where is it? Who's got my Kool and the Gang CD? Ah! Here it
is. Turn it up to 11 please. That's it. And...
"Celebrate good times, come on"
You'll have to provide your own music I'm afraid, and I hope your
singing is better then mine. Here we are at December 10th and just
look at what we have achieved. So it's time to have some fun, let your
hair down (I'm assuming you have hair*) and relax.
There are various get-togethers planned for both PGers and DPers
alike, see below for more details. If you can't get to one of those
then maybe like me you'll be logging on to DP instead for a cyber
get-together
One essential thing to help you celebrate is Joel Erickson's latest
creation. Joel has been working on music files for a while now and has
this week submitted the Project Gutenberg Fanfare! Dedicated to 'the
public domain and PG's 10,000 book achievement'. Joel's fanfare will
be posted live during events this week and I'm sure you'll agree this
is a marvellous way to celebrate.
* Please don't mail us to let us know, we are quite satisfied with
ignorance on this particular point.
Happy reading,
Alice

============= [ SUBMIT A NEW EBOOK FOR COPYRIGHT CLEARANCE ]==============
If you have a book you would like to confirm is in the public domain in
the US, and therefore suitable for Project Gutenberg, please do the
following:
1. Check whether we have the eBook already. Look in
http://gutenberg.net/GUTINDEX.ALL
which is updated weekly. (The searchable catalog at
http://www.gutenberg.net lags behind by several months)
2. Check the "in progress" list to see whether someone is already
working on the eBook. Sometimes, books are listed as in progress for
years - if so, email David Price (his address is on the list) to ask
for contact information for the person working on the book. The "in
progress" list:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
3. If the book seems to be a good candidate (pre-1923 publication
date, or 1923-1988 published in the US without a copyright notice),
submit scans of the title page and verso page (even if the verso is
blank) to:
http://beryl.ils.unc.edu/copy.html
You'll hear back within a few days.
2) News and Comment
INVENTOR OF THE EBOOK SPEAKS IN BAY AREA DEC 10-11
In 1971, Michael S. Hart invented the eBook by typing the United
States Declaration of Independence on a mainframe computer. This was
the start of Project Gutenberg, an ambitious effort to create a free
public library of 10,000 electronic books or eBooks.
In October 2003, Project Gutenberg added the 10,000th eBook to it's
collection, The Magna Carta. Not content to rest, Hart announced a
new goal: "We want to grow the collection to one million free eBooks,
and distribute them to one billion people, for a total of one
quadrillion eBooks to be given away by the end of the year 2015."
Prof. Hart will give two presentations in the San Francisco area this
week, outlining his plans for the future, as well as reflecting on the
past and present state of eBooks. Both will feature CDs and DVDs with
thousands of eBooks, free for duplication or redistribution.
- Wednesday December 10 7:00 pm at the Golden Gate Club in the
Presidio of San Francisco.
- Thursday December 11 7:00 pm at the Berkeley Public Library.
Both talks are free, and open to the public and members of the press.
Prof. Hart will also be taping television appearances, and
participating in a Project Gutenberg capacity building conference
hosted at the Internet Archive over the weekend.
Prof. Hart will discuss his invention of the eBook, and explain why he
does not believe that simple scans or raw OCR (optical character
recognition) output are true eBooks. He will explain advantages of
eBooks over paper books, and show how a rich and vibrant public domain
is the best possible path to creating greater opportunities for
literacy.
ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG
Project Gutenberg's mission is to break down the bars of ignorance and
illiteracy, by creating and distributing free eBooks. During 2003,
an average of over 80 new eBooks per week have been created, with
the help of thousands of volunteers from around the world.
The collection includes dozens of file formats, and 21 different
languages, with over 46,000 files in 110 gigabytes. Project Gutenberg
seeks to include all of the world's great literature, in all
languages. Volunteers choose books that interest them, and work to
turn books into eBooks by scanning or typing, then proofreading and
preparing the final eBook. Nearly all Project Gutenberg eBooks are
available in plain text format, in addition to any others, to insure
their usability for future generations.
ABOUT THE PROJECT GUTENBERG LITERARY ARCHIVE FOUNDATION
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation (PGLAF) was formed
in 2000 to operate as the legal entity supporting Project Gutenberg.
PGLAF receives donations, employs Prof. Hart and part-time office
staff, and maintains organizational records. Dr. Gregory Newby
volunteers as PGLAF's CEO.
"We are pleased to host our first capacity building conference, and
excited about Michael Hart's presentations in the San Francisco area.
As Project Gutenberg embarks on the next phase in its creation of free
eBooks, we will work to support a growing volunteer base, more
partnerships, and a broader range of literary works," said Dr. Newby.
PGLAF is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION:
Email inquiries to "press@pglaf.org". Prof. Hart will be available
for telephone interviews and personal appearances while in San
Francisco. From there, he will be visiting Hawaii, then Europe in
February for scheduled presentations to UNESCO and other EU bodies, to
encourage placing national literatures online and resisting copyright
extension.
Reach the PGLAF business office at (801) 596 1887.

300 etexts for Project Gutenberg of Australia
Only a few months after reporting the passing of 200 etexts, PGOZ has
cracked 300 with the posting recently of 'Jeremy at Crale' by Hugh
Walpole. In the preface Walpole explains that the book is the authors'
attempt at a school-story.Indeed, a quotation from Tom Brown's
Schooldays appears just above this sentence. The author states that he
is trying to tell the truth about a boys' school-days and is not
attempting sentimentality. You can find the book through the Project
Gutenberg of Australia website. http://www.gutenberg.net.au
As mentioned in this weeks ebook listing (part 3)
The Life of Lord Byron, by John Galt - 10421
[Link: http://www.gutenberg.net/1/0/4/2/10421 ]
[Files: 10421.txt; 10421.zip; 10421-h.htm; 10421-h.zip ]
For those wishing to know: Scottish author John Galt (wrote Annals of the
Parish etc) met and became friends with Byron. This biography, whilst dealing
with the key events in Byron's life, aims more to paint a picture of the
development of Byron's mind.
Scientific Essays and Lectures, by Charles Kingsley 10427
[Link: http://www.gutenberg.net/1/0/4/2/10427 ]
[Files: 10427.txt; 10427.zip; 10427-h.htm; 10427-h.zip ]
For those wishing to know: a few odds and ends essays and lectures by Rev.
Charles Kingsley on science. He was very keen on geology and natural history
generally and almost all of the essays cover these areas.
For the terminally keen: I'm using a "Collected Works" edition for this and
most of the other Kingsley ones I've done. This one, in the Collected Works,
also contained "Town Geology" - which was a separate book by Kingsley but
which, to pad this particular volume, Macmillan included in the Scientific
Essays volume. I've released "Town Geology" separately (because anyone
following a bibliography will expect to see it as such). I've not re-included
it in this eBook but have put an explanatory footnote in the book to explain
this.
With thanks to David Widger

Distributed Proofreaders Update for December 10, 2003
Can you hear that sound? That ticking getting louder and louder as
the year winds down. There are less than 500 hours now until 2004.
Last week we got away with ignoring it, but now we must own up to
the fact that December is here and well under way. Tradition holds
that most business and productive interests slow down to a crawl in
the last few weeks of the year. If you read this column often
enough than you likely know that I am about to tell you how that
old chestnut has been turned up on its head at PG/DP. Sure enough!
If you dropped by on Halloween then you know how much we all love a
good party. Well the one sparking up now is set to go on straight
through to New Year's eve.
If you imagine this week's column as a herald of what's to come,
then you will be right in step with the parade. The theme of
December was set as celebrations right from the start. This was no
whimsical choice but rather a nice, bright high lighter stroked
beneath the tail of the year. The choice was made so that we all
remind each other through these final weeks of what 2003 has meant
for Distributed Proofreaders and Project Gutenberg.
In the midst of the perpetual flow of new book projects we may have
lost the vibrancy of what it was like when PG reached the 10,000th
title. Today we can remind ourselves of the significance of that
great milestone. December was the original deadline set by Michael
Hart for achieving that objective. While it may seem a 'sure thing'
in retrospect, there are many reading this newsletter who will tell
you it was far from sure as late as mid Summer. To have reached the
10K goal two months early would be justification enough for wrapping
up this year with a series of celebrations.
Through the next three issues we will feature all the highlights of
this past year, the challenges surmounted, obstacles resolved and
the many little glories won. For those of us at the newsletter it
is important that we do this because it serves the very aim of the
publication. Each week we put our shoulders to the wheel so that
the far flung many who make PG/DP work can get a little taste of
objectivity. If we hit it right then we all regain a sense of the
'why we do' what we do for these projects.
This has been a successful and creatively productive year for us all.
Let us keep a little closer together in these closing weeks of 2003
and remind each other of what we have accomplished together through
belief and dedicated, collective efforts. In many ways we are in a
well primed position to realize some long-held dreams within 2004.
Share some time with us over the next few Wednesdays and together we
will begin that year with a spirit of unified strength; proud of
where we have come so far; expectantly confident of where we are yet
to go together.
For now,
Thierry Alberto
Thank You's to Project Gutenberg
Here are some of the thank you notes we have received in the past few months:
Nice work done on the Project Gutenberg eLibrary.
Gutenberg has GOT to be one of my most favorite sites in the world.
Ellen B Cutler
I sat one Saturday and read the whole Little Prince online. I was
crying so much by the end of it that my keyboard was all sloppy.
The last time I read it was in French class in high school. Too hard,
the meaning just didn't come through like it does in the translation.
I think your service is the greatest thing on the net.
From: Allen Kleiman
My name is Pavel Shcherbakov, Moscow, Russia. My 12 years old daughter studies
English in the college; specifically, at present they are involved in the
studies of history and literature of Scotland. From my child years I remember a
nice ballad which was available in Russian translation under the title "Heather
Honey." I thought the original author was R.Burns, but could not find anything
in my home library. Today, with Internet, I tried and dragged both russian
translation and the original ballad "Heather Ale" by R.L.Stevenson, the latter
--- from the PG website, which is really impressive!
I am an artist and writer from St. Petersburg, Russia.
Thank you for the great project.
It is really wonderful, a gift for my heart.
I have found many important texts which I need.
It is real freedom that is so important for my spiritual world.
Your project is really a wonderful project.
Iam sure it helps plenty of people all over the world.
I want to thank you for creating this site. It is fantastic!
Thank you for your noble efforts.
Dido (Mr. Candido Miranda)
meethu kurian
Please convey my regards to all the staff and volunteers at Gutenberg.
Having the opportunity to read Benjamin Franklin's autobiography is a
blessing. I only want to thank the people who have made this text available.
His works will benefit anyone looking for the answers to life, liberty and
freedom in the United States. Please pass on to those that made it possible.
Just a word of congratulation and encouragement on PG and all its works.
Wonderful stuff so keep it coming. Roger Thurman, The Netherlands.
Please let me add my own. . . .
Thanks!!!!!!!

3) Notes and Queries, Reviews and Features
Newsletter Cookery Club
Greetings again. Did anyone try one of those recipes from Simple
Italian Cookery? I tried the Chestnuts "Alla Lucifero." This was the
first time I ever deliberately set food on fire as part of the recipe
(we won't talk about those other times when I did it by
accident). Such a pretty blue flame. The taste was interesting, but I
think I prefer the traditional "roasted on an open fire" flavor.
Before proceeding to this week's menu, I would like to reply to the
comment made by a correspondent last week, summarized thus by the
editor in the previous issue:
"We received a note here this week about our starting the cookery
club. It was pointed out that we were perhaps, trying to achieve
something that is not possible, i.e. the recreation of dishes whose
recipes were published in some cases over 100 years ago, when tastes
and ingredients were completely different from today's instant tv
dinners."
My response: Of course we can not replicate exactly the dishes of one
or two hundred or more years ago, but it's fun to try, and in doing so
we learn a little bit about life back then. And there is certainly a
general interest in the cooking of times past, as evidenced by the
books of "Grandmother's Recipes" and the "Olde Englishe Fudge" and so
on that is for sale in America, Britain, and doubtless other countries
as well. The reason I like old recipes is exactly because they can be
so different from what we're used to, and because they give us a
window into the past. The older the recipe, the better I like it. So
what if my milk is pasteurized and my flour doesn't contain weevils
and I'm not going to kill the chicken myself. This way I can get a
taste of the past without all the inconvenience our grandmothers had
to put up with.
On to this week's menu. As we are exploring our current collection of
cookery books, it becomes clear that the range is a bit limited in
certain ways. For instance, we thought of doing a menu for Eid, or a
menu for Hanukkuh, but we just didn't find the recipes in our existing
cookery books. There's a hint to anyone who would like to enrich and
expand our cookery collection in a different direction!
So, the next few menus are going to be heavily
Christmas-oriented. This week we are sampling some Christmas sweets.

Hungarian Spice Cakes.
[These are not labeled "Christmas" cakes, but were suggested as a
December recipe, and certainly contain the traditional Christmas
ingredients.]
Sift 1 pound of flour; beat the yolks of 4 eggs with 1 pound of sugar;
add 1/2 ounce cinnamon, 1/2 ounce of ginger, 1/4 teaspoonful of
cloves, some grated lemon peel and a pinch of salt. Make all into a
dough and roll into small cakes about an inch in diameter. Put on
well-buttered baking-plates, sprinkled with flour, and bake in a
moderate oven until a rich brown. Serve with wine.

FRUIT CAKE
3/4 c. raisins
1/2 c. milk
3/4 c. currants
2 c. flour
1/2 c. finely cut citron
1/2 tsp. Soda
1/2 c. butter
1 tsp. Cinnamon
3/4 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. Allspice
2 eggs
1/4 tsp. Nutmeg
1/2 c. molasses
1/4 tsp. cloves
First prepare the fruits for the cake. Cream the butter, stir in the
sugar gradually, add the eggs unbeaten, and continue beating. Add the
molasses, milk, and flour with which the soda and spices have been
sifted, and then fold the fruits, which have been prepared, into this
mixture. Another way of adding the fruit is to pour a layer of the
cake mixture into the cake pan, sprinkle this generously with the
fruit, then another layer of dough and another layer of fruit, and
finally a layer of dough with just a little fruit sprinkled on
top. Whichever plan is followed, prepare the pan by covering the
bottom with 1/2 inch of flour and then placing a piece of greased
paper over this. This heavy layer of flour prevents the cake from
burning. Put the cake in a very moderate oven and bake for about 2
hours. If a fruit cake without a heavy crust is desired, the mixture
may be steamed for 3 hours in an ordinary steamer and then placed in
the oven just long enough to dry the surface.
CHRISTMAS PUDDING
(Sufficient to Serve Twelve)
2-1/2 c. stale bread crumbs
1/2 c. milk
1 c. beef suet
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. molasses
2 eggs
1 c. chopped raisins
1/2 c. chopped citron
1/2 c. chopped nuts
1 c. flour
1/2 tsp. Soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. Salt
1/3 c. fruit juice
Soak the bread crumbs in the milk. Work the suet with the hands until
it is creamy, and to it add the sugar, molasses, and well-beaten
eggs. Mix with the milk and bread crumbs, and add the fruit and
nuts. Mix the dry ingredients and sift them into the mixture. Add the
fruit juice, turn into a buttered mold, and steam for 3 hours. Serve
hot with hard sauce or any other desired sauce.

GINGERBREAD NUTS
Two pounds of flour, sifted.
One pound of fresh butter.
One quart of sugar-house molasses.
Two ounces of ginger, or more, if it is not very strong.
Twelve dozen grains of allspice, powdered and sifted
Six dozen cloves, powdered and sifted.
Half an ounce of cinnamon, powdered and sifted.
A half tea-spoonful of pearl-ash or salaeratus, dissolved in a little vinegar.
Cut up the butter in the flour, and mix it with the ginger and other
spice. Wet the whole with the molasses, and stir all well together
with a knife. Then add the dissolved pearl-ash or salaeratus. Throw
some flour on your paste-board, take the dough (a large handful at a
time) and knead it in separate cakes. Then put all together, and knead
It very hard for a long time, in one large lump. Cut the lump in half,
roll it out in two even sheets, about half an inch thick, and cut it
out in little cakes, with a very small tin, about the size of a
cent. Lay them in buttered pans, and bake them in a moderate oven,
taking care they do not scorch, as gingerbread is more liable to burn
than any other cake, You may, if you choose, shape the gingerbread
nuts, by putting flour in your hand, taking a very small piece of the
dough, and rolling it into a little round ball.

First Lines:
a. There once lived a poor tailor, who had a son called Aladdin, a
careless, idle boy who would do nothing but play all day long in the
streets with little idle boys like himself.
b. Of Mans First Disobedience, and the Fruit
Of that Forbidden Tree, whose mortal tast
Brought Death into the World, and all our woe,
With loss of EDEN, till one greater Man
Restore us, and regain the blissful Seat,
Sing Heav'nly Muse, that on the secret top
Of OREB, or of SINAI, didst inspire
That Shepherd, who first taught the chosen Seed,
In the Beginning how the Heav'ns and Earth
Rose out of CHAOS:
c. Dr. Howard Archie had just come up from a game of pool with the
Jewish clothier and two traveling men who happened to be staying
overnight in Moonstone.
d. Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this
continent a new nation: conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the
proposition that all men are created equal.
e. A throng of bearded men, in sad-coloured garments and grey
steeple-crowned hats, inter-mixed with women, some wearing hoods, and
others bareheaded, was assembled in front of a wooden edifice, the
door of which was heavily timbered with oak, and studded with iron
spikes.
f. Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on
the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped
into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or
conversations in it, 'and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice,
'without pictures or conversation?'
g. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age
of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief,
it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was
the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter
of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we
were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other
way--in short, the period was so far like the present period, that
some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for
good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
h. When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one
people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with
another, and to assume, among the Powers of the earth, the separate
and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God
entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires
that they should declare the causes which impel them to the
separation.
i. A spectre is haunting Europe -- the spectre of Communism.
j. I was born in Tuckahoe, near Hillsborough, and about twelve miles
from Easton, in Talbot county, Maryland.

.:: HOW TO GET EBOOKS FROM PROJECT GUTENBERG ::.
The easiest way to obtain our eBooks is at our search page at
http://gutenberg.net/find.shtml
which allows searching by title and author; there is also an Advanced
Search page which allows for additional search criteria (note that our
newer postings may not yet be indexed for all additional criteria).
And please note: you can now obtain a listing by language at the above
link.
Mirrors (copies) of the complete collection are available around the
world, and you can select one nearer to your location from the link on
the search results page.
To see a listing of mirror sites, and locate the one nearest to you,
visit:
http://gutenberg.net/list.shtml
EBooks numbered 1 to 10000 are located in "release year" directories. Over
time, the "release year" advanced, so that by November 2003 the release year
was 2006. Starting with eBook #10001, they are filed by their official eBook
number, with a unique subdirectory based on that eBook number.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED GREATER THAN 10000
To get to a directory listing you can use either:
http://gutenberg.net/1/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/
. . .navigate down through the subdirectories until you get to the
appropriate level, and then select the file you wish to download,
using your usual download procedures. This system works on mirrors,
too, and will hold all eBooks starting with the number "1" for
10,000 and beyond.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED 1 THROUGH 10000:
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download site (or
a mirror) if you know the filename and year you want. For example:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
and look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that updated
eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99, etext00, etc.)
= = = = = = = = = =
Note: this listing best viewed with a fixed-width font, such as
Courier New or similar.

We've had some requests for something like the Distributed Proofreaders
to take up various kinds of books, varying by subject, and by language.
Anyone interested in doing something like this, please contact us.
"Michael S. Hart" <hart@pobox.com>
Greg Newby <gbnewby@pglaf.org>
We want to make it easier for you to volunteer for what interests you!
However you want to do books, we'll try to find a way to support you.
***
For all those Portuguese readers out there, we have a new volunteer that
offered to coordinate and help anyone that wants to work on Portuguese
eBooks for project gutenberg. His name is Joco Neves and you can get in
touch with him at gutenberg@silvaneves.org.
If you don't have a specific book to work on, take a look first at
Distributed Proofreaders <http://www.pgdp.net/>. There are three
Portuguese eBooks on the first round, one in the second and two in
post-processing. We have the National Library of Portugal as a source of
eBooks, so how many eBooks and which books we choose is up to us.
Sim, i da tua ajuda que precisamos!!!

New site for PDA readable eBooks - now open for testing:
http://mc.clintock.com/gutenberg/
The formats currently available are Plucker, iSilo, Doc, Rocket eBook,
and zTXT (as well as regular HTML). The etexts used are the ones on the
PG DVD image you released a few weeks ago, and they're stored in the
same directories, with the original archive names (e.g. ETEXT05/kafk10.zip).

Project Gutenberg DVD Needs Burners
So far we have access to a dozen DVD burners. If you have
a DVD burner or know someone with one, please email me
so we can plan how many DVD's we can make with all 10,000
Project Gutenberg eBooks on them when they are ready. We
can likely send you a box of CDs containing most of these
files early, and then a final update CD in November when
you would download the last month's/weeks' releases.
I have the first test 10K Special DVD here right now!!!
Nearly all of our first 10,000 eBooks, and multiple formats!
*** Project Gutenberg Is Seeking Legal Beagles ***
Project Gutenberg is seeking (volunteer) lawyers. We have
regular needs for intellectual property legal advice
(both US and international) and other areas. Please email
Project Gutenberg's CEO, Greg Newby <gbnewby AT pglaf.org> ,
if you can help.

DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT, PROOFERS AND SCANNER TYPES
Please contact us at:
dphelp@pgdp.net
if you would like to know more about the Distributed Proofreaders.
Thanks to very good recent publicity, the Distributed Proofreading
project has greatly accelerated its pace. Please visit the site:
http://www.pgdp.net
for more information about how you can help a lot, by
simply proofreading just a few pages per day, or more.
If you have a book that has been scanned, but not yet run
through OCR (optical character recognition) or proofed,
and you would like the Distributed Proofreaders to work on it,
please email dphelp@pgdp.net and we will get things started.
Also, DP is seeking public domain books not already in the
Project Gutenberg collection. To see what is already online,
visit http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL (a text file),
since the online database doesn't reflect recent additions.
Do you have Public Domain books your would like to see in the archive?
Can they be destructively scanned? If so send them to the Distributed
Proofreading Team! Please email dphelp@pgdp.net with your geographic
location. You will be given the address of the nearest high-speed scanner
(note that the high-speed scanner requires destruction of the book(s) which
will not be returned). Alternatively, you can send your books directly to:
Charles Franks
9030 W. Sahara Ave. #195
Las Vegas, NV 89117
Please make sure that any books you send are _not_ already in the archive
and please check them against David's "In Progress" list at:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
to ensure no one is currently working on them. It would also be helpful if
you obtain copyright clearance before mailing the books, and send the 'OK'
lines to
dphelp@pgdp.net
Do you like to work on an entire book at once but don't have the time
or technology to do the scanning, OCR, and initial proofing yourself?
Distributed Proofreaders has the perfect solution! Just send us email
telling us that you are interested in post-processing and we will help
find a you project you would like to work on.

*** HAVE WE GIVEN AWAY A TRILLION BOOKS/DOLLARS YET???
Statistical Review
In the 49 weeks of this year, we have produced 3957 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 2000 to produce our FIRST 3957 eBooks!!!
That's 49 WEEKS as Compared to ~31 YEARS!!!
With 10,700 eBooks online as of December 10, 2003 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.93 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100,000,000 readers is only about 1.5% of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $1.53 when we had 6267 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine 10,000 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 10,700 eBooks in 32 Years and 5.20 Months We Averaged
330 Per Year [We do more per than that month these days!]
27.5 Per Month
.90 Per Day
At 3,957 eBooks Done In The 343 Days Of 2003 We Averaged
11.5 Per Day
80.7 Per Week
353.3 Per Month
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks'
production; each production-week starts/ends Wednesday noon,
starts with the first Wednesday of January. January 1st was
the first Wednesday of 2003, and thus ended PG's production
year of 2002 and began the production year of 2003 at noon.
This year there will be 53 Wednesdays, thus one extra week.

[Another Way To Keep Anyone From Buying Their Pills For Lower Prices?]
BAR CODES ON DRUGS
Pfizer Inc. is now placing tiny versions of supermarket bar codes on blister
packs of Dilantin, Lipitor and other pills sold to hospitals, and Abbott
Laboratories is putting bar codes on injected drugs. The FDA will soon be
issuing new rules forcing all manufacturers to begin phasing in bar codes on
hospital-sold drugs, although hospitals won't be required to use the codes.

BUT ALL THE WHILE THEY PASS LAWS THAT KEEP US FROM REPLICATING WHAT WAS

THE NEW ECONOMY IS BACK -- BUT NOT THE JOBS
The latest economic indicators -- rising productivity, fewer jobs -- could
signal a vindication for all those IT managers who spent big bucks on
technology improvements in the last decade, says Fortune columnist David
Kirkpatrick: "We may be entering the second great technology boom. The
first one, of the late '90s, was a boom in expectations, which pushed up
stock valuations and investor enthusiasm in the belief that the new
technologies born of the Internet would fundamentally transform the
economy^E Contrary to what over-eager investors thought in the '90s, the
users of the technology, not the producers, will be the bigger
beneficiaries." Comparing today's corporate processes with those existing
the last time the U.S. emerged from a recession, there are striking
differences. Today, most large manufacturers have built a significant,
sophisticated enterprise resource planning (ERP) infrastructure to automate
the supply chain and provide real-time data on inventory and profits.
E-commerce is now routine -- both for manufacturing giants and for
consumers. Communication among workers both within corporations and between
companies is now automated via e-mail and Web portals, speeding the
implementation of corporate edicts and the fulfillment of business orders.
Meanwhile the casualty of all this efficiency has been jobs -- about 2
million eliminated in the last two years in the U.S. as companies
streamline processes and outsource functions to overseas workers. And
that's not likely to change, says Kirkpatrick, who warns, "To keep your job
in this new world, you'd better be doing something that benefits from a
digitized economy." (Fortune.com 4 Dec 2003)
http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/ptech/12/04/fortune.ff.real.boom/index.html
NEGOTIATORS DRAFT GLOBAL INTERNET GROUND RULES
Participants from 192 countries have succeeded in narrowing their
differences on the issue of how best to expand the Internet, but remain
undecided as to whether rich nations should foot the entire bill.
"Unfortunately, we didn't settle everything, but one has to be realistic.
We're probably at 98%," says Marc Furrer, the Swiss official who brokered
the negotiations prior to the start of the three-day World Summit on the
Information Society on Wednesday. More than 60 heads of state will attend
the U.N.-sponsored meeting and the hope has been to have draft agreements
prepared ahead of time for approval. African nations are advocating the
creation of a special "digital solidarity fund" to pay for expanding
Internet access to remote villages, but the U.S., Japan and European
countries have suggested that existing development aid should be used to
accomplish that. Meanwhile, negotiators have agreed to include in their
proposals wording supporting the commitment to press freedom taken from the
U.N.'s Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and to maintain the status
quo on Internet governance, with the core systems based in the U.S. and
managed by ICANN. The declaration also calls on governments to work
together to combat spam and improve Internet security. (AP 8 Dec 2003)

SUMMIT PARTICIPANTS FACE 500-FOOT-HIGH VIRTUAL BILLBOARD
Participants at this week's World Summit on the Information Society will be
greeted by a 500-foot-high laser-light display that will beam thousands of
SMS messages onto a wall of water formed by the shooting jets of Lake
Geneva's Jet d'Eau, the world's tallest fountain. Internet users will be
able to post their messages almost instantly onto the fountain display, or
onto the northern fagade of the U.N. building in New York, a mountain face
in Rio de Janiero, or the front of a Bombay skyscraper. It's all part of
the Helloworld Project, the brainchild of Swiss Web designer Johannes Gees,
and is similar to a smaller version he debuted at the 2001 World Economic
Forum in Davos. "The idea is to use the media to allow people to get their
message across to powerful people," says Gees. "With this project's
intervention into public space, I give people who don't have money the
power to be present in a big, visible way." Requests from governments to
edit the messages have been refused, although Gees says his 12 multilingual
editors will screen out messages with personal insults, commercial content,
racism or sexism. He's also discouraging people from sending "Hi,
Mom!"-type messages. (Wired.com 8 Dec 2003)

FEDERAL AID RULES WAIVED FOR FIVE DISTANCE-ED PROVIDERS
The Department of Education has expanded the list of institutions
exempt from the 50-percent rule, which denies federal aid to students
of programs that teach more than half their courses at a distance or
enroll more than half of their students as distance students. The rule
was designed to discourage distance education programs that were not
reputable, but critics have complained that the rule stifles
development of legitimate programs. Added to the list of exempted
institutions as part of the Distance Education Demonstration Program
are the College of Court Reporting Inc., Graceland University, Jones
International University, National Technological University Inc., and
Northcentral University, bringing the total to 29. The demonstration
program will continue through 2005, though there are currently
proposals before Congress to permanently ease the 50-percent rule.

TASK FORCE URGES BETTER FEDERAL INFORMATION SHARING
A report issued by the Markle Foundation calls on the federal
government to move away from the "Cold War" mentality of its current
approach to national security and open networks to a range of law
enforcement officials. The report, "Creating A Trusted Information
Network for Homeland Security," was written by a task force co-chaired
by James Barksdale, former CEO of Netscape. The task force argues that
the intense level of security applied by federal officials is no longer
appropriate for the risks of today. Rather than hiding information
inside its own networks, the federal government should share that
information with state and local governments. The report also
encourages cooperation with the private sector in sharing information
to protect national security, but cautions that such sharing would need
to protect civil liberties.

MORE REASONS WHY THE U.S. JOB MARKET LOOKS SO GRIM
Some recent research polls have indicated that of the jobs
advertised in U.S. newspapers, some 90% are given to those
who were already friends and acquaintances of the members
of the job search panels and committees.

HUGE GOVERMENT "PORK" EARMARKING PROBLEM
As you probably heard, the funding bill for thousands of
"pork barrel" projects was NOT passed today, and so won't
come up again until January 20.
What you may NOT have heard was the literally THOUSANDS
of reasons it wasn't passed, the silliest things money
can buy. . .or can't, in this case.
However, the Republician party leaders made a comment
that due to this dereliction of duty by the Democrats,
many people will not get flu vaccinations this year.
Sorry to say, but as far as I know, this is pure hokum.
Doctors told me several things in total contradiction:
1. Flu vaccinations are mostly given before this time.
2. The vaccines we have this year aren't particularly
well targeted at the the specific flu we have now.
3. It would take until well after the flu season for
more vaccines to be made. It's a long slow thing.

The Project Gutenberg Monthly Newsletter December 5, 2003
Books Readable By Both Humans and Computers For Since 1971
In this issue of the Project Gutenberg Monthly Newsletter Part 2:
1) Editorial
2) News
3) Radio Gutenberg update
4) Mailing list information
Hello,
Hey! Look, it's a desk! Wow! And I thought my computer was balanced on
a big pile of paper. I see someone's tided up too, oh, and are those
clean mugs. Gosh, even the strange looking thing in the fridge that we
had forgotten about has gone. Oh well, there goes the mold growing
experiment. Isn't it amazing what having someone else around can do
for the place.
Well, it is nice to be back after two weeks away, not that I actually
got to go anywhere (Boo!). I have been looking at a few newsletter
related things though, and hopefully, you will notice a few
improvements. Not least of which will be my nice new, never used (no
surprise there) spellchecker! I was looking through some old
newsletters to sort out some features for the website, and I think I
probably have the most forgiving audience ever. There are so many
spelling mistakes, and almost no-one corrects me. I think I could
probably count the emails on one finger in fact. I have to admit to some
surprise at this given the way almost every person in PG I have
contact with leaps in with corrections to mine, and indeed, everyone
elses mistakes at any given opportunity. I look forward to a rapid
improvement in my spelling starting roundabout now.Happy reading,
Alice

============= [ SUBMIT A NEW EBOOK FOR COPYRIGHT CLEARANCE ]==============
If you have a book you would like to confirm is in the public domain in
the US, and therefore suitable for Project Gutenberg, please do the
following:
1. Check whether we have the eBook already. Look in
http://gutenberg.net/GUTINDEX.ALL
which is updated weekly. (The searchable catalog at
http://www.gutenberg.net lags behind by several months)
2. Check the "in progress" list to see whether someone is already
working on the eBook. Sometimes, books are listed as in progress for
years - if so, email David Price (his address is on the list) to ask
for contact information for the person working on the book. The "in
progress" list:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
3. If the book seems to be a good candidate (pre-1923 publication
date, or 1923-1988 published in the US without a copyright notice),
submit scans of the title page and verso page (even if the verso is
blank) to:
http://beryl.ils.unc.edu/copy.html
You'll hear back within a few days.

A Free Public Discussion at the Berkeley Public Library
Thursday December 11 2003 7:00 pm
THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE OF PROJECT GUTENBERG
A Presentation by Michael Hart, Founder of Project Gutenberg
and Greg Newby, Project Gutenberg CEO
Visit the Berkeley Public Library any time during the week of December
8 to pick up a free CD containing nearly 3,500 of the Project
Gutenberg eBooks, or a DVD with nearly 9,400. Make copies, and
help spread free literature!
Prof. Hart will present a perspective of the decade it took to move
from 100 eBooks on this date in 1993 to over 100 times as many today,
and the hopes to reach ONE MILLION eBooks a decade or so from now.
Furthermore, he will outline how each of us can help build such a
worldwide public eLibrary.
Come hear how you can get your own library of 10,000 eBooks
on your computer, and how free eBooks can help change the world!
This is the 33rd year Project Gutenberg eBooks have been available
on the Internet and they can always be downloaded free of charge
from hundreds of sites around the world. Prof. Hart hopes that in
another 33 years nearly any public domain work requested can be made
available, including books, newspapers, magazines, music, paintings,
sculpture [including 3-D] and all other forms of media.
The premise on which Michael Hart based Project Gutenberg was:
"Anything that can be put into a computer can be reproduced indefinitely."
He calls this "Replicator Technology".
The concept of Replicator Technology is simple; once these items are stored
in a computer, then any number of copies can and will be made available.
Everyone in the world can have as many copies as they want. Even space
travellers, such as NASA Astronaut Shannon Lucid, have taken Project
Gutenberg CDs on record breaking journeys.
Project Gutenberg now has over 10,000 eBooks online at gutenberg.net
Prof. Hart can be contacted directly at: hart@pobox.com

Newletter Changes and Website Changes
Following my two weeks leave, where I seem to have done even more work
than normal, you should notice a few changes around the place to
improve our service. One of them you won't notice unless I tell you
and that is the automation of our email newsletters. Before almost everything
on the newsletter was done by a human, now hopefully only the article
writing will be (although one of our correspondents has asked for an
article writing machine in their Christmas present list), this means
that you should get your newsletter at the same time each week. What
thia should also mean is that as we will have more time to spend on
them, the article writing quality should be more consistent.
The other change is to the newsletter website, which while still not
quite there, has filled out dramatically over the last few days. Every
feature the newsletter has carried during my editorship is now up
there, along with the reviews and other articles of interest. I hope
to get the last few bells and whistles sorted during this week so it's
all bright and shiny for December 10th.

Other news items this week
PG gains a new mirror site.
Welcome to our newest mirror: http://www.sakoman.net/gutenberg
Located in San Jose, California.
Thanks to Steve Sakoman.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
--WHERE TO GET EBOOKS
http://www.gutenberg.net allows searching by title, author, language
and subject. Mirrors (copies) of the complete collection are available
around the world.
These sites and indices are not updated instantly, as additional
research may need to be done by our professional Chief Cataloguer, so
for those who wish to obtain these new ebooks, please refer to the
following section.
--"INSTANT" ACCESS TO EBOOKS
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download
site (or a mirror) if you know the filename you want. Try:
http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext04
or
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext04
and look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that
updated eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99,
etext00, etc.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
3) Radio Gutenberg Update
Radio Gutenberg Update
http://www.radio-gutenberg.org
channel 1 - Sherlock Holmes "The Sign of Four"
channel 2 - Robert Sheckley's "Bad Medicine"
Both are high quality live readings from the collection.
Jon and I are working on a new service for Project Gutenberg
to create an audio book on demand from any of the 10,000+
books in the collection. This service will be available at
http://www.radio-gutenberg.org shortly.
Anyone needing an audio book of a gutenberg book will be able to
create it for themselves on the web, right when they have the need
for it.

using screen reading software. We are able to offer the booklisting in
a different format to make your life a little easier. An example of
the changed listing is given below. If you would like either a daily
or weekly version of this list please email news@pglaf.org, and state
which version you require.

DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT, PROOFERS AND SCANNER TYPES
Please contact us at:
dphelp@pgdp.net
if you would like to know more about the Distributed Proofreaders.
Please visit the site:
http://www.pgdp.net for more information about how you can
help, by proofreading just a few pages per day.
If you have a book that has been scanned, but not yet run
through OCR (optical character recognition) or proofed,
and you would like the Distributed Proofreaders to work on it,
please email dphelp@pgdp.net and we will get things started.
Also, DP is seeking public domain books not already in the
Project Gutenberg collection. To see what is already online,
visit http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL (a text file),
since the online database doesn't reflect recent additions.
Do you have Public Domain books your would like to see in the archive?
Can they be destructively scanned? If so send them to the Distributed
Proofreading Team! Please email dphelp@pgdp.net with your geographic
location. You will be given the address of the nearest high-speed scanner
(note that the high-speed scanner requires destruction of the book(s) which
will not be returned)." Alternatively, you can send your books directly to:
Charles Franks
9030 W. Sahara Ave. #195
Las Vegas, NV 89117
Please make sure that any books you send are _not_ already in the archive
and please check them against David's In Progress list at
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
to ensure no one is currently working on them. It would also be helpful if
you obtain copyright clearance before mailing the books, and send the 'OK'
lines to
dphelp@pgdp.net
********
Do you like to work on an entire book at once but don't have the time or
technology to do the scanning, OCR, and initial proofing yourself?
Distributed Proofreaders has the perfect solution! Send email to
dphelp@pgdp.net saying that you are interested in post-processing and we
will help you find a project to work on.

10638 eBooks As Of Today!!!
We're Already 1/16th Of The Way From 10,000 to 20,000!!!
It took 32.25 years from July, 1971 to October, 2003 to do our 1st 10,000
It took 7.17 years--September, 1996 to November, 2003 for our last 10,000
[From 638 to 10,638]
We hope to reach 20,000 eBooks in 2005. . . .

Sending out another copy today, but next week will be the last before I
hit the road to our conference in San Francisco.
***
Catalog Updates: Thanks to the work of Marcello Perathoner,
there is no longer a delay getting new eBooks into our
searchable database at http://www.gutenberg.net. Author and
title information, as well as links directly to the eBook's
files (in all available formats) are updated nightly.
and. . . .
A new page with eBooks posted (or changed) the day before:

*** gutenberg.net moving to ibiblio.org/gutenberg ***
After many happy years at http://promo.net/pg, we have moved
gutenberg.net to a different server over the upcoming days.
Many Thanks To Promo.net!!!!!!!
There have been a few days of transition, as the Internet name servers
got their updates. When the transfer is complete, gutenberg.net
(including www.gutenberg.net) will still work correctly, but will
point to our NEW Web pages at http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg
Hopefully 99% of the bumps in the road caused by this are now over.

*** HOT Requests!!!
For those of you who are trying to get some PR for Project Gutenberg,
the UPI said this week:
"These are momentous times in the digital content industry. . . .
"Project Gutenberg - the pioneering and largest depository of free,
mostly "plain-vanilla" (text only) e-books - added the 10,000-th
title to its unsurpassed collection. In the meantime, e-book
aggregators, such as blackmask.com, now proffer tens of thousands
of free titles for download in up to 8 file formats. Even Microsoft
has spent the last few months offering a free weekly selection of 3
commercial titles each, exclusively readable on its MS-Reader application."

Project Gutenberg DVD Needs Burners
So far we have access to a dozen DVD burners. If you have
a DVD burner or know someone with one, please email me
so we can plan how many DVD's we can make with all 10,000
Project Gutenberg eBooks on them when they are ready. We
can likely send you a box of CDs containing most of these
files early, and then a final update CD in November when
you would download the last month's/weeks' releases.
I have the first test 10K Special DVD here right now!!!
Nearly all of our first 10,000 eBooks, and multiple formats!
*** PROJECT GUTENBERG IS SEEKING LEGAL BEAGLES
Project Gutenberg is seeking (volunteer) lawyers. We have
regular needs for intellectual property legal advice
(both US and international) and other areas. Please email
Project Gutenberg's CEO, Greg Newby <gbnewby AT pglaf.org> ,
if you can help.
*** Progress Report
[Disclaimer: We have several people and programs who count
up the Project Gutenberg eBooks and help create the statistics
we provide. Every once in a while these don't agree, and we
have numbers that slightly disagree, even as to the number of
weeks in a given year. . .for example, 2003 has 53 Wednesdays,
so we will have 53 Newsletters, and thus will count 53 weeks,
at least some of us will. . . . ;-) This week is unusual,
because we are in the process of reestablishing our databases
after reaching eBook #10,000 a few weeks ago, and the programs
are not yet back to running at full capacity. Thus, we have
had several mere mortals counting up the books and disagreeing
on how many there are. I counted 87, George counted 84, and
one day we didn't get any reports at all, so we could both be
somewhat off. Hopefully next week we will get back to normal.]
In the first 11.00 months of this year, we produced 3,907 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 2000 to produce our first 3,907 eBooks!

DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT, PROOFERS AND SCANNER TYPES
Please contact us at:
dphelp@pgdp.net
if you would like to know more about the Distributed Proofreaders.
Thanks to very good recent publicity, the Distributed Proofreading
project has greatly accelerated its pace. Please visit the site:
http://www.pgdp.net
for more information about how you can help a lot, by
simply proofreading just a few pages per day, or more.
If you have a book that has been scanned, but not yet run
through OCR (optical character recognition) or proofed,
and you would like the Distributed Proofreaders to work on it,
please email dphelp@pgdp.net and we will get things started.
Also, DP is seeking public domain books not already in the
Project Gutenberg collection. To see what is already online,
visit http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL (a text file),
since the online database doesn't reflect recent additions.
Do you have Public Domain books your would like to see in the archive?
Can they be destructively scanned? If so send them to the Distributed
Proofreading Team! Please email dphelp@pgdp.net with your geographic
location. You will be given the address of the nearest high-speed scanner
(note that the high-speed scanner requires destruction of the book(s) which
will not be returned). Alternatively, you can send your books directly to:
Charles Franks
9030 W. Sahara Ave. #195
Las Vegas, NV 89117
Please make sure that any books you send are _not_ already in the archive
and please check them against David's "In Progress" list at:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
to ensure no one is currently working on them. It would also be helpful if
you obtain copyright clearance before mailing the books, and send the 'OK'
lines to
dphelp@pgdp.net
Do you like to work on an entire book at once but don't have the time
or technology to do the scanning, OCR, and initial proofing yourself?
Distributed Proofreaders has the perfect solution! Just send us email
telling us that you are interested in post-processing and we will help
find a you project you would like to work on.

*** Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 48 weeks of this year, we have produced 3895 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 2002 to produce our FIRST 3895 eBooks!!!
That's 48 WEEKS as Compared to ~31 YEARS!!!
With 10,638 eBooks online as of December 03, 2003 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.94 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100,000,000 readers is only about 1.5% of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $1.54 when we had 6479 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine 10,000 books each costing $.60 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine 10,000 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 10,638 eBooks in 32 Years and 5.00 Months We Averaged
329 Per Year [We do more per than that month these days!]
27 Per Month
.88 Per Day
At 3,895 eBooks Done In The 336 Days Of 2003 We Averaged
11.6 Per Day
81.1 Per Week
354.1 Per Month
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks'
production; each production-week starts/ends Wednesday noon,
starts with the first Wednesday of January. January 1st was
the first Wednesday of 2003, and thus ended PG's production
year of 2002 and began the production year of 2003 at noon.
This year there will be 53 Wednesdays, thus one extra week.

TALKING NEWSPAPERS SOUND ALMOST HUMAN
The British Royal National Institute of the Blind (RNIB) is teaming up with
Rhetorical Systems to provide partially sighted and blind people with
timely access to newspapers and magazines, using technology that "reads"
the stories in a very human-sounding voice. Rhetorical's rVoice
text-to-speech software is based on the voice files of real people and
sounds, and produces much more natural speech than traditional speech
synthesizers. Subscribers to the new service will receive a portable
AudioRead device that they can use to retrieve information from wherever
they happen to be. Unlike audiotapes used to deliver newspapers to the
visually impaired, AudioRead users can navigate the sections, skipping
between articles and sections as they choose. "We'll be able to produce 400
hours of audio in one hour," says RNIB technology expert Steve Tyler.
"The mainstay of our users who listen to books have never liked the idea of
synthetic speech, they've always wanted a real reader."

THIS NUMBER'S READY FOR PRIME TIME
Michigan State University grad student Michael Shafer has succeeded in
identifying the largest known prime number to date, using a distributed
computer network of more than 200,000 computers located around the world.
The new number is 6,320,430 digits long and is only the 40th Mersenne prime
to have ever been discovered (Mersenne primes are an especially rare breed
that take the form of 2-to-the-power-of-P, where P is also a prime number).
Shafer was taking part in the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS)
project, when the new number popped up. "I had just finished meeting with
my advisor when I saw the computer had found a new prime. After a short
victory dance, I called up my wife and friends involved with GIMPS to share
the great news," said Shafer. (New Scientist 2 Dec 2003)

[Lifted from an anonymous source and paraphrased]
Sun Microsystems is opening a new center in Scotland to test
radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags, in a move that signals the
company's desire to expand beyond the back office. Up until now, Sun has
best been known as a maker of servers used to power corporate networks and
Web sites. Now the company is branching out, selling software designed for
office desktops, for tracking retail sales in stores, and for downloading
games and tunes to mobile phones. "This allows Sun to sell the whole
ecosystem whereas previously we played into only one portion,"
says John Loiacono, VP of Sun's operating platforms group.

HP JOINS INTERNET MUSIC FRENZY
Hewlett-Packard is diving into the online music fray with a branded
Internet music store and a portable digital music player that will compete
with similar offerings from Apple and Dell. HP, which ranks No. 2 in PC
sales and No. 1 in printers, is the latest computer maker to aggressively
expand their consumer electronics business in the face of stagnant PC sales
and weakened corporate spending. In addition to the music venture, HP
recently indicated it would soon start selling flat screen TVs, following
in the footsteps of Gateway and Dell. (Financial Times 3 Dec 2003)

SPAMMERS TARGET ANTI-SPAM GROUPS WITH E-MAIL WORM
Virus experts say a new worm, dubbed W32/Mimail-L, has been unleashed by a
vengeful spammonger intent on paralyzing anti-spam groups via a crippling
barrage of data -- a so-called denial of service attack. "It's the third
Mimail variation to come after us, except this one is trying to do more,"
says Steve Linford, founder of the Spamhaus Project. The nasty worm comes
as an attachment to an e-mail from "Wendy" who describes an erotic
encounter and then offers photos. Clicking on the attachment launches the
worm. In a new twist, a follow-up e-mail is sent to the infected user
announcing that an order for a CD containing child pornography images will
be sent to their mailing address. Virus experts say the impact of this
latest worm has been minimal, compared with the problems caused by last
summer's plague of viruses, "but what this shows is that there is more
evidence that virus writers and spammers are now colluding," says Sophos
senior technology consultant Graham Cluley. (Reuters 2 Dec 2003)

Headline News Mostly Avoided By The Major U.S. Media
Those of you who watch the evening news undoubtedly saw
a video tape made by some rebels in Iraq shooting a DHL
cargo plane with a shoulder fired SAM [Surface to Air Missle].
A U.S. helicopter can be seen cruising nearby in the tape.
The moment of the hit was edited out of all the American
media and they were sure to say that there was no evidence
that THIS missle was the cause of the damage to THAT plane.
The tape was received by a French journalist and then
relayed to the rest of the media. The entire length is
some 6 minutes, and even the BBC didn't show all of it,
but it didn't appear as if they edited it internally,
as did their U.S. counterparts.
[For those of you unfamiliar with DHL shipping, think of
"Airborne" in the U.S., a competitor to Fed-X, UPS, etc.
DHL is larger than any of them, and even owns Airborne.
There is a date stamp on the videtape, but not a time stamp,
so we can't easily tell over how many minutes it was taken.
I'm sure someone will analyze the sun's position and should
be able to say over how many minutes the video was taken.
[Apparently someone already thought of this, and confirmed
that the sun's angle is consistent with the time of day:
"At approximately 6:30 GMT this morning, a DHL aircraft,
an Airbus A300 freighter, departing from Baghdad to Bahrain,
had to return to Baghdad and effect an emergency landing,"
company spokeswoman Patricia Thomson said in Brussels."
I saw what appeared to be the entire segment of tape on the
BBC World News including the moment when the missle hit.
You can find copies of this online:
KEYWORDS: ATTACK; BAGHDAD; DHL; FRANCE; JAPAN; SAM; SHOULDER;
MISSILE; TERROR; TERRORISTS; VIDEO

ANTI-FREE TRADE AND GLOBALIZATION. . .ECONOMIC HOME FRONT WARFARE!!!
In a "Think Globally, Act Locally" sort of response to Globalization,
some counties started advertising campaigns to encourage residents to
"Think Locally, Buy Locally," to keep revenues inside their counties.
This was a response to the building of large "Mega-Malls" that traded
in the retail arena with residents of multiple surrounding counties.
Since then, the "Mega-Mall" counties have retorted with the very same
campaign ads, encouraging their own resident to shop at home, rather
than supporting the non-local economies, and tax bases, of any of the
nearby counties.
If this trend continues, perhaps neighborhood stores will return, and
put the malls out of business, eh?
***
MORE ECONOMIC WARFARE, ON AN EVEN MORE LOCAL FRONT
Recent reports show that 60% of American workers are
planning to quit their jobs and go elsewhere to work
in the next two years. [Source NPR]
Indeed, other reports show that when employers snoop
on employees' email, most of their spying effort is
searching for keywords such as: resume, job-search,
and other items that would indicate workers are not
satisfied with their current positions.
The reason for this may be that while only 25% are
willing to say they are dissatisfied with the job,
60% are searching for something else.
With this kind of transitional labor force, the U.S.
worker could easily become labeled as "part time,"
or "migrant". . .with most workers planning on the
move to a new job in two years. . . .
But isn't this exactly what U.S. businesses WANTED
to create?. . .a totally mobile workforce that will
move to a new location at the drop of a hat?
Of course, they ONLY wanted those workers to move
when and where they were told to, within the same
multi-national corporations, such as IBM, but it
was only a matter of time before such mobility
went outside the corporate walls with the advent
of a cannibalistic "headhunter" mentality. . . .
Just out:
(San Jose Mercury News 2 Dec, 2002)
About half the workers would switch jobs just to
get a signing bonus of $1,000 in stock! Or even
just a better chance at earning a yearly bonus.
Apparently employees are also now willing to
consider that having their company get to know them
is of increasing importance, as companies are now
being bought and sold left and right. . . .
An engineer who quit when his company was bought out
confirmed this was a growing issue:
"You've got to know your employees. If you don't have a
personal relationship with them, somebody else will."
***
CORRECTION:
Only 40 minutes of TV programming per hour?
I mentioned that TV shows have 6 commercial breaks per hour,
but a recent show I logged showed 7 commercial breaks:
at 8, 15, 23, 33, 43, 52 and 58 minutes. This seems opposite
to what I recall, as all 4 middle ones had about 10 minutes
between them, with only the first 2 and last 2 being shorter.
I recall that they used to get more often as the show went on,
with the first segment being the longest. . .I'll do more testing.
During the 7 breaks there were some 25 full length commericals,
3 or 4 to a break, along with about half as many promotional ads
for upcoming shows [some are as long as full length commericals].
The last break was an exception, as it contained only 2 full length
commercials, 2 promos, and the credits. My old statistics probably
need to be updated, as it appears commercials are now taking nearly
20 minutes out of each hour, leaving only 40 for programming. The
networks like to say that the shows have 45 minutes per hour, but I
think that may have changed recently, that's why I was checking.
By the way, the study that said we were generating half a million
Libraries of Congress worth of information yearly also said that:
Only 31 television hours out of every 123 are original, and thus
92 hours are reruns of something that has been seen before, either
on television or some other medium [including movies, I presume].
That's about 3/4 of everything on television has been shown before,
and only about 1/4 is actually something prepared for current showing.
***
And, from one of our readers:
Have you seen this report:
"MPAA, RIAA seek permanent antitrust exemption"
http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/34191.html
Their latest solution to all those pesky antitrust suits:
buy a law which makes them exempt!

NPR'S PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE BLUNDER
It seems that in a recent debate in which college students were
supposed to be asking the candidates questions, that some of the
questions were actually being fed to the students against their will.
It was basically a case of "Ask this question, or you don't get to
ask anything," at least in the case of the now infamous "Mac or PC"
question asked of the candidates. Only one used a Mac, but that
was higher than the national average of some 1 out of 20.
So far it would appear that NPR is keeping the name of the producer
who did this a secret.

.:: HOW TO GET EBOOKS FROM PROJECT GUTENBERG ::.
The easiest way to obtain our eBooks is at our search page at
http://gutenberg.net/find.shtml
which allows searching by title and author; there is also an Advanced
Search page which allows for additional search criteria (note that our
newer postings may not yet be indexed for all additional criteria).
And please note: you can now obtain a listing by language at the above
link.
Mirrors (copies) of the complete collection are available around the
world, and you can select one nearer to your location from the link on
the search results page.
To see a listing of mirror sites, and locate the one nearest to you,
visit:
http://gutenberg.net/list.shtml
EBooks numbered 1 to 10000 are located in "release year" directories. Over
time, the "release year" advanced, so that by November 2003 the release year
was 2006. Starting with eBook #10001, they are filed by their official eBook
number, with a unique subdirectory based on that eBook number.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED GREATER THAN 10000
To get to a directory listing you can use either:
http://gutenberg.net/1/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/
. . .navigate down through the subdirectories until you get to the
appropriate level, and then select the file you wish to download,
using your usual download procedures. This system works on mirrors,
too, and will hold all eBooks starting with the number "1" for
10,000 and beyond.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED 1 THROUGH 10000:
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download site (or
a mirror) if you know the filename and year you want. For example:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
and look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that updated
eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99, etext00, etc.)

The Project Gutenberg Weekly Newsletter December 4, 2003
eBooks Readable By Both Humans and Computers For Since 1971
Part 2
In this week's Project Gutenberg Weekly Newsletter:

2) News and Comment
3) Notes and Queries, Reviews and Features
4) Mailing list information
Editorial
Hello,
Hey! Look, it's a desk! Wow! And I thought my computer was balanced on
a big pile of paper. I see someone's tided up too, oh, and are those
clean mugs. Gosh, even the strange looking thing in the fridge that we
had forgotten about has gone. Oh well, there goes the mold growing
experiment. Isn't it amazing what having someone else around can do
for the place.
Well, it is nice to be back after two weeks away, not that I actually
got to go anywhere (Boo!). I have been looking at a few newsletter
related things though, and hopefully, you will notice a few
improvements. Not least of which will be my nice new, never used (no
surprise there) spellchecker! I was looking through some old
newsletters to sort out some features for the website, and I think I
probably have the most forgiving audience ever. There are so many
spelling mistakes, and almost no-one corrects me. I think I could
probably count the emails on one finger in fact. I have to admit to some
surprise at this given the way almost every person in PG I have
contact with leaps in with corrections to mine, and indeed, everyone
elses mistakes at any given opportunity. I look forward to a rapid
improvement in my spelling starting roundabout now.
Happy reading,
Alice

============= [ SUBMIT A NEW EBOOK FOR COPYRIGHT CLEARANCE ]==============
If you have a book you would like to confirm is in the public domain in
the US, and therefore suitable for Project Gutenberg, please do the
following:
1. Check whether we have the eBook already. Look in
http://gutenberg.net/GUTINDEX.ALL
which is updated weekly. (The searchable catalog at
http://www.gutenberg.net lags behind by several months)
2. Check the "in progress" list to see whether someone is already
working on the eBook. Sometimes, books are listed as in progress for
years - if so, email David Price (his address is on the list) to ask
for contact information for the person working on the book. The "in
progress" list:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
3. If the book seems to be a good candidate (pre-1923 publication
date, or 1923-1988 published in the US without a copyright notice),
submit scans of the title page and verso page (even if the verso is
blank) to:
http://beryl.ils.unc.edu/copy.html
You'll hear back within a few days.
2) News and Comment
A Free Public Discussion at the Berkeley Public Library
Thursday December 11 2003 7:00 pm
THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE OF PROJECT GUTENBERG
A Presentation by Michael Hart, Founder of Project Gutenberg
and Greg Newby, Project Gutenberg CEO
Visit the Berkeley Public Library any time during the week of December
8 to pick up a free CD containing nearly 3,500 of the Project
Gutenberg eBooks, or a DVD with nearly 9,400. Make copies, and
help spread free literature!
Prof. Hart will present a perspective of the decade it took to move
from 100 eBooks on this date in 1993 to over 100 times as many today,
and the hopes to reach ONE MILLION eBooks a decade or so from now.
Furthermore, he will outline how each of us can help build such a
worldwide public eLibrary.
Come hear how you can get your own library of 10,000 eBooks
on your computer, and how free eBooks can help change the world!
This is the 33rd year Project Gutenberg eBooks have been available
on the Internet and they can always be downloaded free of charge
from hundreds of sites around the world. Prof. Hart hopes that in
another 33 years nearly any public domain work requested can be made
available, including books, newspapers, magazines, music, paintings,
sculpture [including 3-D] and all other forms of media.
The premise on which Michael Hart based Project Gutenberg was:
"Anything that can be put into a computer can be reproduced indefinitely."
He calls this "Replicator Technology".
The concept of Replicator Technology is simple; once these items are stored
in a computer, then any number of copies can and will be made available.
Everyone in the world can have as many copies as they want. Even space
travellers, such as NASA Astronaut Shannon Lucid, have taken Project
Gutenberg CDs on record breaking journeys.
Project Gutenberg now has over 10,000 eBooks online at gutenberg.net
Prof. Hart can be contacted directly at: hart@pobox.com
Newletter Changes and Website Changes
Following my two weeks leave, where I seem to have done even more work
than normal, you should notice a few changes around the place to
improve our service. One of them you won't notice unless I tell you
and that is the automation of our email newsletters. Before almost everything
on the newsletter was done by a human, now hopefully only the article
writing will be (although one of our correspondents has asked for an
article writing machine in their Christmas present list), this means
that you should get your newsletter at the same time each week. What
thia should also mean is that as we will have more time to spend on
them, the article writing quality should be more consistent.
The other change is to the newsletter website, which while still not
quite there, has filled out dramatically over the last few days. Every
feature the newsletter has carried during my editorship is now up
there, along with the reviews and other articles of interest. I hope
to get the last few bells and whistles sorted during this week so it's
all bright and shiny for December 10th.
Alice
Other news items this week
PG gains a new mirror site.
Welcome to our newest mirror: http://www.sakoman.net/gutenberg
Located in San Jose, California.
Thanks to Steve Sakoman.
Distributed Proofreaders Update
Here's a first for the DP segment of the newsletter; a dispatch from a
roaming columnist who has been off-site for about ten days now. That's
right, forget what you saw on CNN, I have not retired, just at large
in the low tech world for a while. I was getting a little curious
whether members of my family would still recognize me after being away
on location for so long. For the past week the heaviest reading I have
taken on are bedtime stories--and no, I have not caught myself
watching for typos.
The Crew I keep company with for now is very small, just the three of us, and
the two others are in bed well before Midnight. Yet in the quiet hours
as I watch them dreaming, my thoughts return to another family who
continues to hold my devotion more than I would have imagined before
being away so long. Like many at DP, this year has found me logging on
to the site more often than I check the news or weather. We joke about
this G-force that pulls us back to pgdp.net from time to time in the
forums. The regulars know there is something solid and lasting that
answers to this strong magnetism, the fulcrum of which lies just next
to the heart.
We produce e-texts at DP, this is the justification of why we come
back. It is not, however, the 'what' which keeps us here over the
months and in some cases years. As much as we return to work on book
projects we return for each other. We are drawn back to spend time and
interact with people from across the world who have grown to mean more
to us than we ever seem to know how to express.
We call this and other group activities on-line a 'community.' On the
whole this may be appropriate, but at the center of this
community--and the center does drive DP--the word community is no
longer sufficient. It is perhaps time to recognize that we are not
alone in our perceptions and values of what DP is to each of us on a
personal level. The most appropriate word to encompass the daily crowd
at DP is 'family.' Now, feel free to write me with alternatives or
voice vibrant disagreement, for I am only sharing what has become
clear to me after some time away from the site.
I do not set up a distinction here between DP and PG. My experience
over the past year is more closely involved with DP, so it is upon
this knowledge that I speak. It is my belief that those who have been
closely involved with PG over the years know exactly what I am talking
about.
December not only closes the circle on the year, it brings the
Holidays back to us. Like most productions the wheels of progress at
PG and DP will slow down a little as many of us spend time with family
and friends. Do me, and perhaps yourself, a small favor after the
off-line activities of the month draw your attentions away from day to
day interaction with the site. When you recall these words and this
request take a little time to explore what it is within yourself that
is yearning to return to DP.
If you want to share what you find, write, I am very interested in
what you discover. The best use of this self questioning is your own
understanding of what you value in life. It is always valuable to us
to recognize what we spend our time and pay our attention to each
day. This can be very revealing in understanding what is most
important to us as individuals. It has been so for me. Life will
always surprise you and often with the playful smile that children
know how to appreciate best.
In closing, I will only share with you a recent experience, you make
of it what you will. My own views on existence explain why it is
included here at all. I am sitting on a plane, not the plane I was
supposed to be on, nor the one after that, but the one fate would have
me on and in the seat that only a smiling trickster god would choose
for me.
It was a long flight and I had not slept for a day or two, so this I
did within minutes of take-off. Half way through to our destination I
awoke and after my thoughts cleared I noticed the woman seated next to
me was reading a printed out text, stapled together. There were
highlighted paragraphs and notes all up and down the borders. In my
groggy state of mind I assumed it was a screenplay and asked, for the
sake of the comfort of the next three hours, if she had written this.
"Oh no!" she said... "If only I had! ... It is one of my favorite
books of all time; The Colour of Life by Alice Meynell. I read it as a
teenager and then lost the book and never thought to find it again."
I said, "Yes...it is a great book, although it has been years since I
remember reading it." To which she replied with the question: "Do you
go on the Internet?" When I responded in the affirmative, she then
cleared the last smoke of sleep out of my mind with: "Have you ever
heard of Project Gutenberg? They gave me this for free and I printed
it out to take with me on my trip. It is so wonderful!"
As I write this in the quiet night hours I can hear those words again,
so clearly, and I have to agree, It is indeed wonderful! But then
you already knew that or you would not be reading this.
All the best in the world for you this week!

Radio Gutenberg Update
http://www.radio-gutenberg.org
channel 1 - Sherlock Holmes "The Sign of Four"
channel 2 - Robert Sheckley's "Bad Medicine"
Both are high quality live readings from the collection.
Jon and I are working on a new service for Project Gutenberg
to create an audio book on demand from any of the 10,000+
books in the collection. This service will be available at
http://www.radio-gutenberg.org shortly.
Anyone needing an audio book of a gutenberg book will be able to
create it for themselves on the web, right when they have the need
for it.

3) Notes and Queries, Reviews and Features
Project Gutenberg newsletter Cookery Club
We hope everyone enjoyed last week's recipes. I tried Potatoes and
Cheese. I had to cook it longer than recommended, but when it was done
it was quite good. This week we are featuring Simple Italian
Cookery, by Antonia Isola, pen name of Mabel Earl McGinnis. (I suppose
she thought it would be more convincing if the author's name was also
Italian.) This is an interesting collection recipes published in
1912. It's a bit easier to use than The Belgian Cook-Book, because it
follows a standard "modern" recipe format--a list of ingredients with
exact measurements, and suggested cooking times. I was interested to
see that a number of recipes suggest using canned
vegetables. Macaroni, spaghetti, and vermicelli recipes are available,
some familiar-sounding (e.g., Macaroni with Butter and Cheese), some
not so much (e.g., Ravioli with Brains). The distressing tendency of
19th and early 20th century cookbooks to dwell on brains, hearts,
etc., is, of course, carried on in this book. Ham fat seems to be used
as often as olive oil. This week's menu is not very balanced; perhaps
you should think of it more as a buffet; just take a little of each
dish, or you'll get full too soon.
SALAD "DEL PREVOSTO"
Boil in their skins three good-sized potatoes, peel them and slice
them, then put them into a salad bowl, and pour over them one-half a
glass of white wine. Do this about two or three hours before they are
wanted, so the potatoes will have time thoroughly to absorb the
wine. From time to time mix them with a fork and spoon to let the wine
permeate. A few minutes before the meal make a good French salad
dressing, add some pickled peppers cut up, some capers, and some
chopped-up parsley, pour on the French dressing, mix up well, and
serve.
MACARONI "ALLA SAN GIOVANNELLO"
While three-quarters of a pound of macaroni are boiling in salted
water prepare the following: Chop up fine two ounces of ham fat with a
little parsley. Peel six medium-sized tomatoes, cut them open, remove
the seeds, and any hard or unripe parts, and put them on one
side. Take a frying-pan and put into it one scant tablespoon of butter
and the chopped ham fat. When the grease is colored put in the sliced
tomatoes with salt and pepper. When the tomatoes are cooked and begin
to sputter put the macaroni into the pan with them, mix well, add
grated Parmesan cheese, and serve.
RICE WITH BUTTER AND CHEESE (_Riso in Bianco_) Take one-half cup of
rice. Boil in salted water. After twenty minutes of boiling take off
the fire and drain. Then put the rice back into a saucepan with three
tablespoons of grated cheese (Parmesan) and three tablespoons of
butter. Mix well and serve as an entree, or around a plate of meat.
TOMATOES WITH EGGS Choose round tomatoes of about equal size and peel
them. Cut off their tops, take out their insides, and drop a raw egg
into each, replacing the top as cover. Put the tomatoes in a
baking-dish and bake for about ten minutes, until the eggs are
set. Serve up in the baking-dish very hot, with Bechamel sauce (see
Sauces, page 29), or some brown gravy.
CHESTNUTS "ALLA LUCIFERO" Take forty good chestnuts and roast them
over a slow fire. Do not allow them to become dried up or
colored. Remove the shells carefully, put them in a bowl, and pour
over them one-half a glass of rum and two or three tablespoons of
powdered sugar. Set fire to the rum and baste the chestnuts constantly
as long as the rum will burn, turning the chestnuts about so they will
absorb the rum and become colored.

Extra to this weeks cookery club
We received a note here this week about our starting the cookery
club. It was pointed out that we were perhaps, trying to achieve
something that is not possible, i.e. the recreation of dishes whose
recipes were published in some cases over 100 years ago, when tastes
and ingredients were completely different from today's instant tv
dinners. Indeed, the way that people cooked and ate their food has
changed radically over the past one hundred years or so. So whilst, we
accept that perhaps, we cannot recreate the tastes and smells exactly
as say my great-grandparents would have experienced them, what we can
do is estabilish whether some of our 'lost' cookery books are still
relevant and we can perhaps also begin to understand why some books
are still popular and regular bestsellers over one hundred years since
their first publication.

Jazz, Blues and Polka - music sounds nicely on PG ...
Edison National Historic Site Sound Recordings
This week Brett Fishburne had started to post some of the 100 sound recording
available from the Edison National Historic Site (ENHS). The ENHS has over
48,000 sound recordings made on both cylinder and disc. These were produced
by Edison between 1888 and 1829, just two years before his death.
The sound recordings last for around 4 minutes each and feature a variety of
genres, from music, speech, actors auditions, vaudeville comedy, the chimes
of Big Ben and even the voices of Presidents of the USA and Mexico.
The ENHS is making these recordings available as part of the preservation
process of the full collection which began in 1993 as an attempt to make
sense of the collections' size and organisation. Once complete the whole
collection will be made available via the internet.
You can find out more about ENHS at http://www.nps.gov/edis

Another interesting addition to PG collection is the lections on geology by Charles Kingsley (1819-1875), English clergyman, poet and novelist, to students in Chester, England. The author,who was a conservative President of the Midland Institute in Birmingham, took surprisingly unortodox position in these lections, supporting Lyell's geological theory.

Hieroglyphs and cuneiform, Chinese and Arabic characters - millions of signs that learned scribes and calligraphists traced out painstakingly on stones and papyruses in sumptuous palaces and humble monasteries during the history of human civilization. The concrete buildings are now in ruins and sands are covering the walls of great palaces, but strangely enough, the most virtual part of civilization - the signs are still alive. They are changing slowly, but still reflects the thousand of years passed since the sinful tower was destroyed, supplying the beauty of variety and the sense of "far away land" for the travelers (which can be, of course, kind of annoying when you try to find your hotel in China or small Russian town ? ). They are very important part of mental environment and I believe that their influence on the world perception should be considerable. So for the ancient Egyptians the world probably looked much more picturesque than for us writing in economical and r
ational 20+ alphabets ... Japanese and Russian, Hebrew and Arabic - plenty of copyright free texts are waiting for to be included to PG in their original beauty together with their translated reflections. This is an important theme and we will continue to explore it in the future issues

Cookery Club unveiling dinner ...
Last week we issued an invitation to join PG's Cookery Club, a series of virtual dinner parties based on some of PG's extensive cookery book collections, and proposed a starter from The Belgian Cookbook called Gourmand's Mushrooms. As you may recall, part of the fun is reporting back each week on how we fared preparing the recipes. So here is my report on Gourmand's Mushrooms.
One of the challenges of old cookery books is their inattention to features we take for granted in modern recipes, such as exactly measured amounts and times. The Belgian Cookbook is especially notable for its vague directions in this area, and thus in making Gourmand's Mushrooms we were asked to measure butter in terms of a tangerine. I did happen to have a tangerine on hand, but I couldn't help wondering if they might have been smaller back then. Then there was the matter of the gravy. "Moisten them with gravy" says the recipe, without mentioning where the gravy was to come from. Are we supposed to have it on hand, like eggs and milk (and tangerines)? I think so, because further exploration of The Belgian Cookbook reveals other recipes calling for gravy in an offhand manner. But if this dish is "fit for the greatest saints to eat on Fridays," which I take to mean that it is meatless, then what kind of gravy would this be exactly? (Ed. It might be a saint vegan gravy, howeve
r we'll never know ...)
In the event, I didn't think the mushrooms needed any moistening, so I skipped this step. Otherwise, the recipe was very straightforward. I'm not sure I'm a fan of Gourmand's Mushrooms though; could it be I am a Prussian?
[Ed. Our chief editor's response was quite different - 'tried out the recipe from last week, minus egg yolk as we have no eggs at the moment. The verdict from us is that it was different, having the lemon taste with mushrooms was nice, but the quantity required in the recipe would have been too much for two of us. Overall, 6 out of 10 and we might try it again in the future.' So to summarize: the Gourmand's Mushrooms get average 3 out of 10 based on 2 reviews. However, remember, dear guest on our virtual dinner, that You still have a chance to change the statistics by trying the receipt at home and sending us your comments ...]
For the remainder of our menu, which is a vegetarian menu suitable for a cool evening in autumn (or spring, if you are in that part of the world), we propose the three recipes below. Once again, you are invited to partake by trying one or more of these recipes, and sending your comments to us. Before presenting the recipes, though, here are few interesting findings about The Belgian Cookbook:
The most interesting fact, I think is that it was published in 1915, and, as noted in the Preface, "The recipes in this little book have been sent by Belgian refugees from all parts of the United Kingdom." So while we are wondering where the gravy comes from, we can recall that all these recipes were contributed by war refugees who comforted themselves in their exile by cooking the dishes of their country, and sharing them with the people of their host nation.
Getting past this somber fact, we notice some amusing instructions in the preface. Savories, we are told (of which Gourmand's Mushrooms could be considered an example), should be "like an ankle, small and neat and alluring." Hmm. And as for soup,
"Let your soup be extremely hot; do not let it be like the Laodiceans. You know what St. John said about them, and you would be sorry to think of your soup sharing the fate which he describes with such saintly verve."
I'll have to investigate my PG edition of the New Testament to find out what this means. Meantime,
"Be sure that your soup has a good foundation, and avoid the Italian method of making _consommé_, which is to put a pot of water on to warm and to drive a cow past the door."
I think I've heard that joke about other soup, such as the kind served in the prison camps, but rest assured that our soup will not be like that.
CAULIFLOWER SOUP
After you have boiled a cauliflower, it is a great extravagance to throw away the liquor; it is delicately flavored and forms the basis of a good soup. Wash well your cauliflower, taking great care to remove all grit and insects. Place it to simmer with its head downwards, in salted water; and, when it is tender, remove it. Now for the soup. Let all the outer leaves and odd bits simmer well, then pass them through a sieve. Fry some chopped onions, add the liquor of the cauliflower and the pieces that have been rubbed through the sieve, add a little white pepper and a slice of brown bread. Let all cook gently for half-an-hour, then, just before serving it, take out the slice of bread and sprinkle in two teaspoonfuls of grated Gruyere cheese.
POTATOES AND CHEESE
Every one likes this nourishing dish, and it is a cheap one. Peel some potatoes and cut them in rounds. In a fireproof dish put a layer of these, sprinkle them with flour, grated cheese, pepper, salt, a few pats of butter. Then some more potatoes, and so on till the dish is full. Beat the yolks of two eggs in a pint of milk, add pepper and salt and pour it over the dish. Leave it on the top of the stove for five minutes, then cook it for half-an-hour in a moderate oven. Less time may be required if the dish is small, but the potatoes must be thoroughly cooked. The original recipe directs Gruyère cheese, but red or pale Canadian Cheddar could be used.
APPLE FRITTERS
Put half pound of flour in a deep dish and work it with beer, beating it well till there are no lumps left. Make it into a paste that is not very liquid. Peel and core some good apples, cut them into rounds, put them in the paste so that each one is well covered with it. Have a pan of boiling fat and throw in the apple slices for two minutes. They ought to be golden by then, if that fat has been hot enough. Serve them dusted with powdered sugar and the juice of half a lemon squeezed on them. Icing sugar is another term for powdered sugar
