Subject: Very off topic: Japanese Word for Octopus needed
Japanese word for Octopus is needed for my daughter sea life creatures
project. I have been to every one of Salem, OR Asian markets, after
calling to see if they had it, and when we got to the markets it was
squid. I'm looking at the final store ph # and am going to call them in
the morning if I can find out if they have canned or dried octopus. HELP!
I have even tried the 'net to order her something, all of the sites I
looked at were in Japan! Sorry about al the crossed posting, but Jenni
can you please post this to DFW and if there are people the Evil Duncan
list, could you post it there too, please? Thanks for all your help!
BB,
Danni

Previously, it was written:
> Japanese word for Octopus
Well, the kind you eat is called "tako." As in a kind of sushi.
(and yes, that happens to be my permanent .sig file now, why?)

Subject: HL Alumni news and website updates
Since AOL seems determined not to load any of my websites lately, I am in the
midst of moving a lot of my sites to an independent server. I've begun the
process by moving most of the Fanzine pages. Some of the graphics might not
come up the first time (or at all) right now since many of them are on AOL
and who knows what the heck is going on with AOL right now.
There is some news about new and upcoming fanzines on the pages. There will
be more definitive updates soon. Another new update you can see right now, if
you're a Blakes 7 fan: I've updated the Southern Comfort page to feature all
of the covers for every issue we've done over the years.
The new main page for our fanzines is:
http://www.ashtonpress.ma-at.net/zines.htm
The old pages are still there, for the moment (IF you can get AOL to load
them), but please change your bookmarks if you have any of our fanzine sites
bookmarked (you can see the new addresses for all of the subsites if you go
to the main one and follow the links).
I'll probably start moving some of the fan fiction sites next.
And, news regarding a HL alumni (from, I believe, the most "beloved" episode
<g> "The Zone"), check out the site and information that follows for news of
Michael Shanks (late of Stargate SG-1):
Forwarded on behalf of http://www.savedanieljackson.com. BTW, you can also
now see the latest full page ad placed in the Hollywood Reporter by Michael
Shanks fans. It is linked from the front page of the site (you can also see
the TV Zone ad linked from there.) The HR weekly edition goes on sale today.
The latest Michael Shanks interview from Cult Times #77 is up and linked
right from the homepage at Stargate Solutions. As always, extracts are
posted with permission from Visimag. There are also a number of other
interview extracts posted at the site, all with permission from the magazines.
Whew. This is a long one... I've also made some updates to the Fan Fiction
site since the last time I posted one of these notices. Some to the Holiday
Fan Fiction site and some to the main fan fiction site (all Highlander
stories on the main site and some Highlander on the holiday site):
