The College is in the old Hotel Ponce de Leon, built by industrialist Henry Flagler in the 1880's. It was designed by Carrere and Hastings, who also built the NYC Public Library. The college is celebrating the 125th anniversary of the building this year. For a time it was the nicest hotel in the world, with many original Tiffany windows (that are still there), beautiful architecture and even electricity with wiring put in by Edison. It was The Place to go in winter. It's a pretty amazing building. There is a student run tour twice a day, and it's very popular. It was definitely for the upper classes only. Flagler built another hotel across the street, but it was not quite as nice although It did have a casino and the world's largest indoor swimming pool. The Hotel is built on land my ancestors farmed in the 18th century. Later, one of my great great grandfathers was a hunting and fishing guide for Henry Flagler and his guests. Hmm, I probably should have read this book a while back, huh? (Heather's Note: I love these brushes with greatness we get! More proof y'all are the best!) Later, Flagler moved further south, building the railroad that ended in Key West. After he died he was buried in the mausoleum of a church he built here, right near the hotel. In fact, I parked in front of it tonight! His first wife, as well as his daughter and granchild are buried there. I will attach a couple of pictures, from postcards, that you will find interesting. (I have these cards in my postcard stash. I'm a Postcrosser,) They are fairly self-explanatory. The modern photo shows the dome of the church Henry Flagler is buried in. It's Memorial Presbyterian, although my friend insists on calling it the Presbyterian Mosque. It's pretty elaborate. The hotel became a college in the 1968. The college is small, but highly rated. (Also, on another note, coquina is pronounced Ko-keen-a, not Ko-queen-a. It's a Spanish word, so a lot of people make that mistake. I can't remember which episode this came up in. Before Age of Innocence, though.) Our Sponsors:   Crafty News: Sweet and Simple Baby Crochet (with the cutest bunting EVER) Podcaster Throwdown The rules are: There are no rules!

Here’s a    From: Irish Clover ‪‬ Some 411 on Bram: First, he worked in the tax department at Dublin Castle, a government building, in his early working life. (The people of Dublin say he was a bloodsucker before writing about a bloodsucker.) Also, Stoker spent his summers around Killarney as a small boy. If one were to go on the Ghost Tour of Killarney, she would hear of the story of a man who lived in the ruins of Muckross Abbey. The man would be a part of living society during the day, but at night, he would retire to the ruins. The towns people would hear horrible shrieks and tortuous sounds from the Abbey that would last until almost dawn. When the sun was close to rising, the man would lie down in an empty coffin and sleep for a few hours. Lore has it that Stoker heard the stories about the man when he visited Killarney. Also, the Gaelic word drochfhuil (pronounced drak-ul) means “bad blood.” I have no idea how much of these stories are true, but the lore around Stoker really adds to the tale of Dracula.

Possible etymologies for nosferatu: A leading alternative  is that the term originally came from the  “nosophoros” (*νοσοφόρος), meaning disease-bearing. ‘s classic film  strongly emphasizes this theme of disease, and Murnau’s creative direction in the film may have been influenced by this etymology (or vice-versa).)  and nesuferit (“the insufferable”). The nominative masculine definite form of a Romanian  in the  to which both words belong takes the ending “-ul” or even the shortened “u”, cause in Romanian “l” is usually lost in the process of speaking, so the definite forms necuratu, nesuferitu and “nefârtatu” are commonly encountered (translatable as “the unclean”, “the insufferable one”, respectively “the “).  What I’m reading that isn’t about fangs:  by  Ehren Ziegler over at Chop Bard podcast recommended this and when he says “jump” I say, “what was the name of that book again.” I’m not far into it, but it’s an interesting read so far.

Today chapters 9-10 of Persuasion! Whoot! Testing the new server system so I'm not going to type much here now. Last week was three hours of uploading over and over and over. More shownotes at CraftLit.com.

This set of shownotes, such as they are, cover bonus episodes for A Christmas Carol as run in December 2012. This is a rerun of episodes 189-191, run in November 2010. We are adding them to the feed now for your holiday enjoyment. A Christmas Carol-in prose, being a ghost story of Christmas by Charles Dickens (The original manuscript) narrated by for Part 1 - Staves 1-2 (run time 1:33:15) Part 2 - Stave 3 (run time 1:00:29) Part 3 - Staves 4-5 (run time 59:53) The by David A. Perdue. While I also spoke of the various file formats, this time we are just sending you the regular old audio file that can be played on any computer or mp3 player and which will come through the feed just like always. Please check out the show notes for the original episodes to view the video podcasts.

Not a lot in the way of shownotes. We have a nifty Monthly Incentive though, and I'll be doing the drawing on the 14th of Feb because Fabulous Listener Jill sent in GORGEOUS Valentines Day yarn—five skeins from , 100% Superwash Merino, 98 yards each, 2oz, 4.5-5 sts/inch on US 6–8 in colorway Grant Circle. Donate up through February 14th and it could be yours! I'll draw an incentive winner from a hat. (It's a little more pink than the pic...) Aside from that, we begin at the beginning of the groundbreaking novel The Woman In White. Our episodes will be a little long while we do this book due to the way the Librivox recordings have been organized. For the first few, we are graced by the voice of Tim Bulkeley of reading the part of Walter Hartwright. If you would like a copy of the book so you can follow along, you're welcome to use the link below. By starting here when you go shopping at Amazon a portion of their profits from your purchase goes to helping keep CraftLit on the air.   null

Join us as we dive headfirst into the enchanting world of knights, love potions, and medieval mischief! That's right, we're setting sail on the high seas of romance as we explore the legendary story of Tristan and Isolde! If you're in the mood for a gripping saga with passion, intrigue, and a sprinkle of fairy dust, join us on this literary journey as we unpack the epic romance of Tristan and Isolde. We'll laugh, we'll cry, and we might just learn a thing or two about love along the way.

Book Talk (8:51) Links Ch 106 [] [] 107 [] []and the [] | Mapcon 2017 | I spent last weekend at the Mid-Atlantic Podcast Conference and had the pleasure of meeting a hotel full of wonderful podcasters. Recording from home can be isolating at times, so it feels great to go out into the wild and meet up with fellow casters to talk about improving our shows and the impact we have on listeners. I've listed a handful of podcasts I encountered at the conference (which I go into more detail about in the episode). Be brave! Find something new to listen to.  --For kids who are Harry Potter Lovers (or soon-to-be HPLs)--going chapter by chapter through the books. Started Sept 1st. --Native American stories (hosts grandmother, 92?) is at the Standing Rock Res. ! And was out at the protests. --pretty much as you’d expect --host interviews politicians on both sides about the GOOD things they are doing. --exactly what you think, hosted by Mark Gillespie. One of the longest running, certainly one of the longest profitable, podcasts out there (out of southern NJ, too!) Fan Theory Podcast --iTunes etc, “everyone’s a fan of something” --always interesting, usually funny, mostly true --discover awesome and unique craft beers with Amanda --my table mate and King of All Media, Harry Duran, hosts this interview show. —Host and water expert Stefan Roots has the loveliest voice conveying some Really Dirty Info —if you have a Funko Pop Collector or just Funko Fans in the house, they now have a podcast to listen to—all for them!

And speaking of Cooperative Press! Two new goodies for you! First, the . Second, the ! Both of which yours truly will be working on! Yay! What is CP saying about the Magazine? Let me share what CP says: Our intentions are as follows: as with all things CP, we compensate our contributors fairly, work with indie designers and dyers, and generally keep great content coming at you; we will be publishing 3x per year (though we’re doing a special “issue zero” in time for TNNA, the big pro fiber arts tradeshow in June) via our own app. This app will eventually also offer other Cooperative Press content, too. Ebooks, special issues, etc.; by popular demand and in response to some early feedback, we’ll do a PDF version of the magazine, which will be available via our website and Ravelry. It won’t have the video/audio/interactive functionality of the main version, but for readers who aren’t interested in reading via app, it’ll offer access to most of the content; each year, we’ll collect the magazine content into a book book -- think the way or Martha Stewart republishes their "best-of" each year. Hopefully having multiple access points for the content will make everyone happy. And by having several digital options, it makes it possible to buy it from anywhere (even Australia and the UK!), because as we’ve learned selling books, not everyone feels like paying the (frankly absurd) postage rates these days. It makes me ill to have to charge half again the cost of a print book just to ship it to Europe, and from a purely capitalistic perspective, I’d rather you put that $12 towards another one of our ebooks! :) And, more happiness—the husband gets more , too! Yay books! Yay literate people! * * * And my new pattern (that I'm so proud of!): Hunger Games-inspired Life and Death socks—designed for those of us who tend to give their socks a beating (more details on ). * * * , I think you'll agree, rocks the Gulliver text. grab the code And, of course, I'm racking up moments of the usual start-of-book zeitgeist.
