Many small factories had a gap in production, and shipping has become even more problematic. <\/li>\n<li><b>12-27-00 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gildedserpent.com\/articles10\/fringefestdy.htm\">Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2000 with Troupe Dhyanis<\/a><\/b> <b>by Dhyanis <\/b><br \/>\nThe rough and ready Scots do love a party!
