Welcome to Indigo Whisky -026 for the 06Dec2007

MUSIC: brobdingnagian_bards -Moria INSTRUMENTAL -background

Weather: A mixed week most mornings have been damp and dull, but many days have seen the afternoon as dry and sunny, that sun makes all the difference, clears some of that SAD feeling of this time of year. last w/e was Carnival weekend, and was poor in the morning, but the wind dropped and the rain stayed away for the procession, which was nice as so many people had worked hard for on the floats, this wasn't a NY Macy's style parade http://www.rocketboom.com/vlog/rb_07_nov_21 ECHO with giant balloons of Scooby Do!, but a smaller more con-fraternity type event, typified by the Cats ensemble with a flat bed lorry carrying the little ones and those slightly bigger trotting on behind, I had to laugh at the crowd of mums and dads running along beside with coats, scarf's and mobile phones, one mother parading along with her little one in front, her ear glued to a mobile phone and paying no attention to the cheering crowds along the route. Is this Web2.0?

MUSIC: 2: Larry Seyer Larry's Waltz

Wokingham Borough Council - News releases - Details Dinton Pastures Country Park has suspended its day fishing scheme at White Swan Lake as a preventative step to protect carp from the killer disease Koi Herpesvirus (KHV).

KHV was detected at a fishery in the Berkshire area in late October and the Department for Environment, Rural Affairs (DEFRA) ordered a restriction of fish movement into and out of a number of fisheries in the immediate area.

While Dinton Pastures was not included in the movement ban, Wokingham Borough Council’s countryside service, which runs fishing at the country park’s lakes and rivers, has taken the step of stopping all day-fishing passes at White Swan Lake to ensure that carp do not contract the deadly disease.

KHV has not been detected in the Wokingham borough but with the closure of other lakes in Berkshire the borough council is mindful that anglers whose regular lake is closed, and whose equipment may have come into contact with the virus, may use Dinton Pastures on an ad-hoc daily basis instead.

Podsafe Music Network - Christian Hoffman I've been playing acoustic guitar and other stringed instruments for about 29 years. These days I usually play Scottish and Irish music and perform in a couple of Seattle area bands. I've been working on some solo guitar and multi-instrumental music for some time - so here's my go at it.

I have some Gift suggestions

In a previous show I mention my desire for a Nokia N810 Internet tablet. Well, unfortunately no availability in the UK yet, but Adam Curry says he is working on a discount scheme via Podshow Affiliation. I am looking forward to being able to check out the Nokia N810 and leeting you know how I find it, and also giving all inWokingham and SpecialSelection Show listeners a chance to order one at a discount. Amazon US are stocking them, but they are out of stock at the moment, I include a link below for our US visitors or for those heading to New York, NY for some Christmas shopping, a great deal with the Dollar at over two to the pound.

If you are interested in learning more about how to podcast, whether for yourself , a client or internally within your company, I can recommend Neville and Shel's book. Neville lives in Wokingham, and Shel in San Francisco and they produce a twice weekly marketing and PR podcast which I feel is much wider interest than many would think. Find their site HERE
