When using Google Notebook, please remember to respect the hard work (and rights) of the people that created the content. Publishing a notebook is the same as creating your own webpage — don’t include content in your notebook that you couldn’t legally publish on your own webpage.

Is completely disingenuous. The whole point of the Notebook application is to grab other people’s copyrighted web pages and put them in the Google Notebook, where they can be made searchable with a single click.

Google has considerately deactivated Google Notebook on Google Book Search pages like this one (my Harry Potter book): no context menu drop-down is available.

PRESS RELEASE Move Over “Da Vinci Code”

Move Over “Da Vinci Code”
“The Key To Solomon’s Key” Ignites Historical Bombshell of ‘Biblical’ Proportions

MIDDLEFIELD, MA — (MARKET WIRE) — 05/16/2006 — Readers looking for an even more striking revelation will find it in a controversial new book that hits bookstores next week. “The Key To Solomon’s Key, Secrets of Magic and Masonry,” by Lon DuQuette, brings subjects of mystery and intrigue, Freemasonry, Knights Templar and King Solomon, to an astounding conclusion. DuQuette, a celebrated occult author and Mason, reveals for the first time an intricately woven connection between King Solomon’s legend and the Templar/Masonic legacy.

Loon alert.

Not that I shouldn’t take a glance or two in the mirror…

Colorado author Linda Masterson dispels myths, replaces fear with respect, and lays the foundation for improving human-black bear relations with an inside look at the fascinating world of these highly intelligent, adaptable and resourceful animals.

Almost all bear ‘problems’ are preventable if people have the information and motivation they need to coexist with bears,” says Masterson. “Being bear-prepared protects property and lives, both human and bear. Something as simple as putting your trash out in the morning instead of the night before can cut your chances of a bear visit from 70 percent to just 2 percent.”
