Troll Calendars... Who knows what? I was in Honningsvaag, Norway about a month ago and saw a lovely, but very overpriced wall calendar featuring semi-photo-realisitc (think dinotopia) pictures of trolls frolicking and sneaking about Norway. I realized just recently that this would be a perfect present for a friend, but I didn't take a name, picture, or anything. Google and Amazon fu aren't helping me, but I don't sepak Norwegian.

Let's say you have provided hosting facilities for a collaborative event-focused weblog. One of the contributors is violating the social norms for the site in ways that might well have negative real-world consequences for business relationships which are dependent on collegiality and the event. A sponsoring entity for the weblog has requested that this individual be bounced, and possibly requests that the posts by the individual be removed as well. [more inside]
