Combination of Dagger and Wheellock Pistol
Dated: circa 1575–1600
Culture: German
Place of Origin: possibly Saxony
Medium: steel, wood
Measurements: L. 18Â 15/16 in. (48.1Â cm); L. of blade 13Â 13/16 in. (35.1Â cm); L. of blade (without tip) 11Â 11/16 in. (29.7Â cm); L. of quillons 4Â 1/4 in. (10.8Â cm); Cal. .29 in. (7.4Â mm); Wt. 1Â lb. 11 oz. (765.4Â g)
Combination weapons usually were made as technical novelties and showpieces and therefore, often are highly decorated. The finely etched strapwork pattern on this example also is found on the best German firearms, edged weapons, and armor of the late sixteenth century. Before firing this dagger-pistol, the tip of the blade had to be removed, revealing the muzzle of the gun barrel.

Lady on the bus next to me: Tell me again- what are you not going to do in daycare today?
Little boy: I will not hit the teacher with a light saber.
Lady: And why are you not going to hit her with a light saber?
Boy: It is my toy, and my choice, but if I hit her with the light saber, I'm acting like a Sith.
Lady: Do you want to be a Sith?
Boy: No! I am Obi-Wan!

IM GOING TO STAB MYSELF IN THE FOOT I JUST SENT MY ENGLISH TEACHER MY ESSAY ON HAMLET AND IT WAS STILL NAMED “the fresh prince of denmark yo holla”
oh man, i love receiving unedited final drafts:
cracks me up every time
I love the teachers of tumblr
I fight an eternal battle to avoid turning in drafts of novels still containing phrases like "the planet known as WHATEVER," "he introduced himself as THIS GUY STILL NEEDS A NAME," and "the airman unpacked several crates of LOOK THIS UP."

Shore Leave 36
Being a guest at Shore Leave was great fun! I'm so glad for the chance to meet my publisher at Fandemonium, Sally Malcolm, in person, as well as so many other great folks. It was my first year at Shore Leave, and I was really blown away by how fun and friendly the convention was. I definitely hope I can get back again soon. The Fandemonium launch party Saturday night was a blast, complete with blue jello, Fruit Loops, and a gorgeous Stargate cake. It's really been a thrill this week to hear from so many people who love UNASCENDED and the rest of the Legacy series, and I'm energized for working on my next SG-1 book, currently titled MURDER AT THE SGC. It stars Cameron Mitchell and the season 10 team turning detective to solve the murder of one of the civilian scientists at the SGC, and should be out in 2015. I spent most of my time jogging from panel to panel (the main panel spaces were at opposite ends of a large hotel), but I did get to see Richard Dean Anderson's Q&A session, which was well worth it -- he's a hilarious speaker. My one big regret is that I missed seeing Teryl Rotherty, because I was on the "Fan Fic to Pro" panel scheduled opposite her appearance. Clearly next year the con needs to provide access to a time travel device for guests ...
Hi! Not sure how often you check this, but I am acquainted through this website with "lonelywalker" on LiveJournal and she recommended Death by Silver. Since I don't have a LiveJournal account, I sought you out on here. Anyway, just wanted to say that I really enjoyed the book, especially the relationship between Ned and Julian. I can't wait to read more about them in the sequel!
Thanks so much! Â I'm glad you enjoyed it. Â We've just finished up the sequel, and it was great fun to revisit the two of them and explore a bit more of their world.
17th-century "military compass": this is a functional dagger that splits in two to become a compass (with attached plumbline and inset magnetic compass). Â How have I survived all my life without one of these?

His practice newly established, metaphysician Ned Mathey can’t afford to turn...
I'm sad to be missing the release party -- Melissa will be celebrating the book's release in Victorian style with tea and little sandwiches at Balticon. Â I will content myself with toasting it from my desk with my sadly un-Victorian Diet Coke.
Oscar Wilde went to London after graduating from Oxford University in 1878, and pursued with equal vigor everyone who was anyone, and was prominent in the aesthetic movement, which advocated “art for art’s sake.” He was mentioned regularly in the humor magazine Punch and inspired a character in Gilbert and Sullivan’s lampoon of the aesthetes, Patience, which opened in New York City in 1881. The producer, Richard D’Oyly Carte, exported Wilde to America on a lecture tour, to promote regional performances of the opera. Upon entering the country in January 1882, Wilde supposedly quipped, “I have nothing to declare but my genius.” / Pilgrimage
Oh, Oscar. Â No one in the Mathey and Lynes books is Oscar Wilde (or has slept with Oscar Wilde), although some of them wish they were (and wish they had).
