Orb Speculative Fiction
Orb Speculative Fiction (also known simply as Orb) was first released in 1999 and was edited by Sarah Endacott. In 2002 Orb #2 was a short-list nominee in the Ditmar Awards for best collected work but lost to Earth Is But a Star, edited by Damien Broderick.
Orb again was nominated for best collected work in 2005 and 2008 for the issues six and seven respectively. Two authors have won awards for their stories featured in Orb. Sue Isle's "The Woman of Endor" won the 2001 Aurealis Award for best fantasy short story and Cat Sparks' "A Lady of Adestan" won the 2008 Ditmar Award for best novella as well as being a finalist in the 2007 Aurealis Award for best fantasy short story. The magazine has also featured ten other short stories which have been finalists at the Aurealis and Ditmar Awards.
Orb (horse)
Orb (foaled February 24, 2010 in Kentucky) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse. After being defeated in his first three starts, Orb won five consecutive races, culminating with a victory in the Kentucky Derby on May 4, 2013. He was retired at the end of the year to stand at stud at Claiborne Farm.
Background
Orb is a bay colt with a small white star bred and owned by Stuart S. Janney III and Phipps Stable. He was sired by Malibu Moon, whose other progeny include the Grade I winners Declan's Moon, Devil May Care, Life At Ten (Beldame Stakes) and Malibu Prayer (Ruffian Handicap). His dam, Lady Liberty, was sired by the 1990 Kentucky Derby winner Unbridled. Lady Liberty won four races in 12 starts and was retired from racing in 2005. Orb is her only stakes winner out of five live foals. On his dam's side, Orb is descended from Laughter, a sister of the outstanding racemare Ruffian.
Orb was trained by the veteran Claude R. "Shug" McGaughey, III, who had handled the previous Phipps champions Easy Goer and Personal Ensign.

The Dream
by: OrbThe lyrics are in french, performed by Caroluna
(The song, "Codes" includes "Not of this World"
© 2008 by Caroluna, composer and singer )
Here is the english translation:
Twilight descends
Like a blanket of stars
I am not of this world
The moon awakens
In a red - orange sky
I am not of this world
Of pain, terror and suffering
I am not of this world
