Cambodian royal astrologer says Year of Rat will bring angry wives

Phnom Penh – Cambodia celebrated its New Year’s Eve on Sunday, with the royal palace astrologer predicting a troubled Year of Rat ahead, including poor crops, inflation and angry wives. Like neighbouring Thailand and Laos, Cambodia follows the Chinese horoscope, but celebrates its lunar New Year in April each year.
“This year’s agriculture is not good, with half of the vegetable and fruit crop destroyed,” royal palace astrologer Im Borin said by telephone.
“There will be many people killing each other, the good and kind will be looked down on by society … the price of salt will increase, and wives of high ranking officials will be stewing in anger,” he predicted

Harry Potter – A Hero’s Journey (article on AstroDienst)
Harry Potter was born in 31st July 1980. The place of birth is Godric’s Hollow, a town inhabited exclusively by wizards and witches. Muggles (non-magical people) will hardly be able to find it on a map. According to the Harry Potter Lexicon, Godric’s Hollow is most likely situated in South Wales, in Glamorgan or Dyfed. For simplicity’s sake, I will take a town in the central part of that area: Ammanford

‘Breakthrough’ at Stonehenge dig
Archaeologists carrying out an excavation at Stonehenge say they have broken through to a layer that may finally explain why the site was built.
The team has reached sockets that once held bluestones – smaller stones, most now missing or uprooted, which formed the site’s original structure. (Documentary will be shown this fall on BBC Two.) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7337292.stm

A gift to my lovely readers –

As a special gift to my readers I thought you might enjoy some background music. A terrific writer and geek found these archived radio recordings of the Beatles for a Swedish radio show way back when. He cleaned them up a bit and edited them, and here they are. Five songs in cool condition. So turn up the volume alright already.
