Well, we are now hanging out the shingle again. The reasons for the lacuna are too boring to go into.
...Unlike this story from Yahoo a day or so ago.

I
have often pondered the mysterious American love of guns, but suddenly
it all comes clear. They are to make funny faces on pumpkins with.
This
makes perfect sense, within the context of America.
A pity though, that
this instructional video only came to light after the shooting of Trayvon
Martin - or Mr. Zimmerman, the intrepid gunman, might have used it as a
logical reason for blowing the lad away:
"I mistook him for a pumpkin."
Why did you do that?
''Because
he was unarmed, like pumpkins are. And kind of orangey-brownish
coloured." Happily for American justice, such a defence was not
required.
Although it is no less reasonable than the one employed.
