Who were born before the dawn of the internet age keep a few backup non high-tech items around, like perky pots, push mechanical lawn mowers, and toaster ovens! I find the sound of cofee perculating in a perky pot to be cheerful and ccomforting, kind of like a whistling tea pot!

I don't know much about the Occupy scene in England, although I know the movement is international. I would love to visit. I got a bit of the flavor when I lived in a mining town where most of the people were of English, Welsh and Scottish descent. I lived in an old Victorian house.

I suppose journalism is a lot like intelligence work. You need to be aware and connected, you collect information and then analyze it. Best of luck to your friend at Leeds, and I hope you keep the news. Coming for us! Das Vidzhenia! (Sp?)
