 		[SPEC] Efendi
Trying to see if there's anything in Margaret's rather unusual last name... so compiling all my findings here, and anyone with contributions please post!

This could go nowhere, but who knows... will edit as I find more.

So anyway:
1.) "Efendi" or "Effendi" appears to be Middle Eastern, centered in Turkey (Google hits on the word are mostly centered in Turkey, including a large hotel)

2.) http://www.langtolang.com/ Translations:
efendi : decorous
efendi : dignified
efendi : esquire
efendi : lord
efendi : master
efendi : sir

3.) http://www.hyperdictionary.com/dictionary/effendi
Definition: [n] a former Turkish term of respect; especially for government officials

4.) http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/definition/Turkish-english/ef/efendi.html
arbiter, baas, baboo, blushing, guv, guvnor, husband, Lord, master, seigneur, Sir, well mannered, well-behaved

OOh...Queen Margaret? Lord or a regal type person (from Effendi), maybe an allusion to our queen?

 		It could also represent the letters FND phonetically, though I don't know where that would go.

 		More OT Fun!
From Henry VI, Part Two, Act III:

Immediately following Queen Margaret's 'Woe for me' soliloquy, Warwick enters and says:

It is reported, mighty sovereign,
That good Duke Humphrey traitorously is murder'd
By Suffolk and the Cardinal Beaufort's means.
The commons, like an angry hive of bees
That want their leader, scatter up and down
And care not who they sting in his revenge.

Of course I'm sure it means nothing. Yet. Confused

Tricky. Can't seem to focus. Need to start on the easy ones, like "up". Move on to the compass later.

Up.

Up.

...Damn it.

You'd think "up" wouldn't be too much to ask. It's not like nor-nor-east or something.

I need to find out where I am. Also who, but that might be less important. It's possible the two things are related.

Stars, I need stars. I was always a fine sailor; they said my navigation was celestial.

I think I am a fallen star. I should wish on myself. Please let me go home, please let me go home, please let me go home, please let me go home, please please please please please please please ple

MY HEAD IS FULL OF SAND



Hello - I am Margaret

Hi, I'm Margaret and thank you for visiting my website! I am a retired substitute schoolteacher (17 years in the Vacaville school system.) I became interested in the internet through my honey business. I live with my cat, Farnsworth.
Farnsworth on the pillow!


I'm a beekeeper, click HERE for information about my hives and my business.




My hobbies include reading, especially mysteries. I especially love Ellis Peters and the Brother Cadfael books and Alexander McCall Smith and the Precious Ramotswe books. As you can see I like my mysteries cozy! And of course, I like reading them with a cup of red tea with my own honey!


But the most important thing in my life is my family. My sister Chloe, and her daughter Dana. My sister and I didn't always get along growing up, but she has always been there for me, and Dana, my niece, is truly the daughter I never had.



Special thanks to my Dana.




MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
It happened one day, about noon, going towards my boat, I was exceedingly surprised with the print of a flea's naked foot on the shore, which was very plain to be seen on the sand. MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
I've been here forever.
Conscious, unconscious.

THE HIVES

I have three hives. My first hive was a startup kit with a brood box and a box for food storage. My bees are Russian-"Yugo" Carniolan bees which are disease resistant. They are especially good for the hobby beekeeper. They are gentle and almost never sting! A beekeeper told me that beekeepers never get arthritis because of the anti-arthritis properties of beestings. I dont know if its true or not, but my arthritis in my knees doesnt seem to have gotten worse since I started. Ive been stung a number of times, of course, but mostly my bees seem unwilling to sting me. I think they know me and I know their ways.



Seven years ago I started making my own honey and selling it at the Farmers market.
Click HERE for information on my honey and how to purchase it.

I have three hives but my first hive is still my best honey producer. Beehives take a while to get established, and each hive has its own personality! My hives are traditional Langstroth hives, which are boxes

.
(whispers) Spin the Bottle.
Each hive is its own little society. Bee societies consist of a queen, a small number of males, called drones, and worker bees. Worker bees are all sisters, and all bees are daughters of the queen. Worker bees either tend to the hive by storing pollen, tending the queen, making honey or tending to larvae, or they go out and forage for pollen.

1st Lt Sorenson: For the first time, I'm not sure I want to know what's in them.
Capt Greene: ...Even leaving aside our particular mission, there's the issue of letting them know we've broken their codes. If we bug out and scramble home to warn HQ about Troy, people like Standish will say we've already report it. Our job is to gather intelligence: it's HQs job to decide what to do with it.
1st Lt Sorenson: God, I'm glad it isn't me making that call.

 		D'oh!

We really appreciate hard work on games, but we try to organize things so work doesn't get done over and over again. Really, hundreds of people are watching and there is always an excellent chance that what you just saw has been seen and is already under active consideration somewhere, if not actually solved.

Please read the documents at the top of the forums (Halo letter, guidelines, quickstart, etc etc).

Please Search before posting to see if someone has already found what you just found. (They have). This is being discussed as a whole and in its various pieces all over the place. Your contributions of any new thoughts will be greatly welcomed in those threads.


Search

Read the wiki and/or the forums to see how far the analysis has gone on this material.

Note the topic of the thread you are posting on - what does this post have to do with the meaning of Margaret Efendi's name?

From your friendly forum Mod. - AD

 		mysteries cozy
it seems "cozy" is a type of mystery novel. check out this definition (from http://www.writing-world.com/mystery/cozy.shtml):

Quote:

A cozy is a mystery which includes a bloodless crime and contains very little violence, sex, or coarse language. By the end of the story, the criminal is punished and order is restored to the community.

The character solving the crime is often an amateur sleuth who becomes involved because of personal reasons but it is also possible for the character to be a professional: police officer, medical examiner, or private detective.

Many cozies invite the reader to solve the crime first. In those instances, clues should be evident and fair. Red herrings (apparent clues which distract the reader) may be included and all the suspects might appear guilty along the way but these falsehoods should be explained by the end.


...
Quote:

The main character in a cozy is the good guy (or gal). This person uncovers the criminal through an emotional or intellectual examination of the scene, suspects, and clues


sound familiar? Smile

And she's an Ellis Peters fan on top of it, which makes her pretty cool in my book...

I think there was a Cadfael book that involved bees... I'll check.

Nope, I was wrong.
