Quick Tip: Quick and Dirty on When You Should Use Hyper-V Snapshots/Checkpoints.
You should create a snapshot, or checkpoint (as they are called in System Center Virtual Machine Manager), right before you make any known change to your VM that would require some sort of system or application restore if the configuration, patch or application upgrade went wrong.
Snapshots are a recovery point that saves the state, data and hardware configuration of a VM. Now, With Hyper-V in Windows Server 2012, the creation and deletion of a snapshot happens without VM downtime. The process can be scripted, but it is most commonly done manually, either by an application owner or by a virtualization system administrator, before any changes are made to the VM. These types of snapshots are different from conventional host-level backups of VMs, but use the same underlying VSS Hyper-V Writer, which is installed when you enable the Hyper-V role, to prepare (quiesce) the memory and I/O state of the VM, in order to precisely capture its state at that moment. However, the outcome of these two processes differs.
When you create a snapshot… Read the rest of the article HERE

Recent Article: Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V Storage Feature Shortcomings
This is part two of my take on what is still missing from the next version of Hyper-V. To read part one, go HERE. The storage architecture of Windows Server 2012 has come a long way to benefit Hyper-V 3.0, but there are still some seemingly basic features that have been left out. Part two focuses on these storage shortcomings and how I think they could be addressed by utilizing similar technologies now found within the product.
Microsoft revamped the Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V storage architecture, but there is still some room for improvement.
Storage has always been a weakness for Hyper-V. The process of shrinking, expanding, migrating and backing up virtual machines (VMs) creates a lot of difficulties in Hyper-V environments. But the new live migration and storage migration enhancements in Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V, including the seamless movement of VMs and virtual hard disks between physical storage volumes without downtime, could solve many of the lingering issues.
The methods proposed below would greatly reduce downtime and simplify Hyper-V management by eliminating several manual and tedious tasks.

Recent Article: Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V missing features and potential fixes
Don't get me wrong, Hyper-V within Windows Server 2012 includes some excellent additions. But, with every release, there are bound to be a few features that miss the cut. My recent article looks at a few of these features that I wish would have made it in.
"For all the new features and enhancements to Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V, the virtualization platform still has its shortcomings.
Having worked with Hyper-V since the early betas, I appreciate the speed at which Microsoft adds new features. With each Hyper-V release, however, I still see a few areas of improvement that could add key functionality and ease administration. Below, I look at three of these shortcomings in Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V and offer some practical fixes.
Part one of this two part series looks at the following shortcomings that I still believe exist.
1. Poor Quick Migration between hosts with different processor architectures
2. Inadequate Live/Quick Migration of VMs between different Hyper-V version
3. Imperfect hot-add memory allocation with a running VM

Recent Article: Ten Easy Ways to Extend Virtual Host Resources on the Cheap

With that, here are 10 ways extend and expand virtual host resources on the cheap.
To see all the detail and my take in the article HERE.
1. Get lean

Recent Article: Top five Hyper-V 3.0 features that will excite IT pros
Microsoft is adding some glamorous Hyper-V 3.0 features to the mix, including Hyper-V Replica, virtual Fibre Channel adapters and NUMA spanning. While these capabilities will allow for a more detailed configuration, how many administrators will view these options as a critical part of their Hyper-V infrastructure?
The top priority of many virtualization administrators involves reducing the number of scheduled virtual machine (VM) service disruptions and late-night hours on the job. The shiny, new capabilities are welcome, but some of the greatest Hyper-V 3.0 features were already present in previous versions and have just now matured.
For IT pros looking to make their lives a little easier, the following five new-and -improved Hyper-V 3.0 features should really excite them.

Advisory Board Question of the Month: Avoid Having to Sit Next to Creepy Uncle Bob
This months SearchServerVirtualization.com Advisory Board question of the month looks at "How Virtualization Pros Can Land Their Next IT Job" Here's my take:
Targeted skills, relevant experience and a focused cover letter will land you an interview. But personality and attitude will most often get you a spot on the team. This is not only relevant for those hiring but also for those looking for an IT job. If the fit just isn't there, then both parties should move on.
For managers, these factors are critical, because a bad hire can lead to having to handle more personnel issues, which takes time away from the department initiatives.
In IT departments, the "team fit" is especially important, because you often spend a lot of time with the group during late hours or weekends, when problems often arise. Having someone on the other end of the phone or in the office with a similar mindset, and who genuinely cares about helping out, makes a huge difference when stress is high.
So work on your skills and let your personality prevail over your nerves. Joining an IT department is really like becoming part of a family. Making the right choice will help you avoid sitting next to that creepy aunt or uncle for years to come.

Recent Article: The Hardware Requirements for Testing Hyper-V 3.0
Testing Hyper-V 3.0 is a worthwhile side project, as it will help you attain valuable skills and experience before the official release of Windows Server 8. But, first, you need to assemble the proper hardware.
The hardware requirements for Hyper-V 3.0 are relatively mundane, making it easy to set up a Hyper-V 3.0 sandbox before its release.
The hardware requirements for a Hyper-V 3.0 sandbox
Your success with a production environment depends, in part, on your choice of hardware and associated technologies. But for a Hyper-V 3.0 test server, however, there is a broad range of hardware possibilities that you may already have at your disposal.
Most hardware from the last three years will likely support Hyper-V 3.0, so a spare server or desktop computer may suffice. Check out the following hardware requirements and recommendations to ensure compatibility with Hyper-V 3.0:

Therapy, in all its many forms and theories, comes down to the relationship that you build with your therapist.

The Life and Love of Cats takes us on an unforgettable journey—we travel from the homes of middle-America today, back to the demonized creatures hiding in the alleys of medieval Europe; from wild cousins on the plains of Africa to rare hybrid domestic breeds like the Savannah; and from fashionable show breeds to shelter cats lovingly rescued by volunteers. Starting with the earliest records of domestic cats 9,000 years ago in Africa and the Mediterranean and moving to the present, Lewis Blackwell weaves stories of one of humankind's closest companions with a collection of more than 100 unforgettable images.Praise for The Life and Love of Cats:"As good as Blackwell's text is (and it's quite good—an approachable, informative, and appreciative study of cats of all breeds), the true appeal of the book is the stunning images." —Publishers Weekly, starred review.

- Great meal!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 18/11/2014Four of us in the party. First time here but had heard good things. It was mid week so not heaving but busy enough for it to have an atmosphere. Waitress polite and timing or orders just about right. Never hurried and food served in good time but not too quickly which allowed for a relaxed meal. Would definitely recommend and will be booking to come back soonSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Could be betterBobbyDined on 16/11/2014On arrival we were greeted by very friendly staff who took our coats etc. and guided us to the bar area to wait for our friends. we had a Sunday lunch of the mixed meat which included pork belly. although it was tender and quite lean the crackling top was non existent, just soggy skin!!! at the end of the meal this comment was made to the waitress but seemed uninterested. despite not having any bottles of wine the cost of a Sunday Lunch for 4 adults was £200.00 Unfortunately this included Service Charge which I would rather have a choice if we wanted to tip or notSpecial Features:
- Lovely meal in a wonderful restaurantNew2LondonDined on 13/11/2014We had a lovely meal here midweek. The staff were very attentive and helpful. The food was presented very well and tasted as good as it looked. Would definitely recommend a visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Had a lovely evening.Diane05Dined on 1/11/2014The place was buzzing. Good food, good service but very expensive for what it was. I think to be fair the evening was great because of the lovely company. Certainly a popular place, if you don't mind spending £50 a head for two courses and one alcolhic drink!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary Lunch at Blue BridgeCarolb64Dined on 29/10/2014Went to the Blue Bridge with the hubby for lunch to celebrate our anniversary. Couldn't fault the service, friendly and attentive. The restaurant was a bit on the chilly side when we arrived so I kept my jacket on for a while but the heating kicked in after a while. I had the goats cheese starter which was delicious, and my husband had the smoked mackerel pate which he enjoyed. He then had the beef brisket for his main course - again delicious, and I had steak. I asked for medium rare which was perfectly cooked & very tender until I reached the middle of the steak which was a little too rare for me. The only other small gripe was the peppercorn sauce was very runny indeed and didnt have much of a punch to it. Overall we had a lovely lunch.
- Great foodReviewer132Dined on 17/10/2014I have known about the Blue Bridge for a while now but I've never actually visited. I decided to go as I had a date who I wanted to impress. All of the food was fantastic, but special mention goes to the pork plate which I had and the special frozen berries with hot white chocolate. The service was relaxed and the restaurant had a good ambience. While it is not cheap, it is a place where I don't mind paying a bit more if the food is this good. I will definitely be dining there again.Special Features:
- Fab foodlittlebirdDined on 3/10/2014Excellent food, welcoming staff and knowledgeable in regards to pairing food and wine. They always have us coming back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very standardTasteDined on 30/9/2014To be honest my parter and I were extremely disappointed with out experience at the Blue Bridge. The food was very over priced for what we got. We had a starter and main each then 3 drinks each, this came to almost £80. Usually we wouldn't mind however the portion sizes were small and the food was more about presentation then taste. It is a lovely looking resturant inside and out, however if you about the food I wouldn't even bother.
- Anniversary dinnerJessicaDDined on 20/9/2014The food was outstanding. I had wood pigeon which I'd never tried before and it was delicious! The mains were beautiful aswell, the live singer was good, our table was far enough away that she wasn't right in your face. It's always a special treat to come here for such good food, wine & service. The wait staff are all young girls but have been trained very well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Geat food, excellent wine listThePeters4Dined on 5/9/2014Love this restaurant however it's not for light pockets as the bill could floor you but only if you order the finer wines as the food is not too expensive and worthy of the title of fine dinning. The four of us started in the bar with a couple of champagne coctails and Hendricks. I had the Crispy Poached Hens Egg with Buttered Asparagus and Iberico Chorizo to start, which was devine followed by a special of rolled plaice fillets filled with spinach, they were melt in the mouth. We had a couple of sides and a couple of bottles of wine: Sancerre, La Petit Broux, Les Celliers De Ceres 2010 followed by the Barolo Docg, Fontanafredda 2007 (Italy) with mains, both excellent. Recommend to anyone but make sure you're not worried about the bill.Special Features:
- Blue BridgeStevieVIPDined on 4/9/2014A pleaseant experience with good value food and very pleasant staff. If ever back in the arae I will visit again.Special Features:
- Top Quality Food- a Special Treatdob66Dined on 1/9/2014Great service, beautifully cooked and presented. Not cheap but quality comes at a cost. (A shame bread at the table is £3.) You'll enjoy the experience- treat yourself.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of the best in EssexOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 29/8/2014An excellent restaurant. All round I would say possibly the best in Essex. Good food, good service and attention to detail. Very nice ambience in a lovely location. Highly recommended.Special Features:
- We'll be backEssexTaffsDined on 28/8/2014This was our first visit and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The service was attentive but not intrusive. The quality of the food was excellent and we particularly enjoyed the homemade chocolates. On this occasion we used a Groupon voucher but would not hesitate to revisit without such a benefit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Groupon voucher was amazing value!!PrincesscharlsxDined on 26/8/2014I booked the £29 for a two course steak dinner with cocktail for two people via Groupon for my Dad's birthday treat. We both had a cocktail at the bar (I had a Strawberry Daquiri and my Dad had a Pina Colada) and I can honestly say it was one of the best I have ever had - so refreshing! We also both had the tomato soup starter which came with fresh bread and butter. It was really tasty and the fresh warm bread really complimented the dish. The Groupon included the midweek menu steak with peppercorn sauce and chips. The steak was slightly too red and bloody for a medium well done steak but the dish was delicious nevertheless. The decor is very modern and clean.The service could not be faulted at all. I will 100% be returning here!Special Features:
- Good, that's it ...AlexEdDined on 25/8/2014Ambiance is more for official meals and sunday family meals. Food was good, even if the vegetables were dry because re heated ... BTW no vegetables are coming with your food, you need to ask what you would like. Please, more in the plates, you are not really full after your meal, and I'm not a big eater ...Special Features:

- Friday evening mealLovinglifeDined on 1/8/2014This was ours and our friends first visit to The Blue Bridge. We were greeted on the door and directed to the bar to order some pre-dinner drinks whilst we awaited our friends, which I found very welcoming. Our table was pleasantly located with plenty of space between us and the other diners. The waiting staff were very attentive and knowledgable and the menu had an excellent selection of dishes. The meal and wine were reasonably priced and very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this restaurant and am looking forward to dining there again in the near future.Special Features:

I like that the tables are not too close and the staff are friendly and helpful. The good wine is pricy but the cheap wine is certainly drinkable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ok - service was great but...EssexlocalDined on 25/7/2014the food didn't blow me away. We visited the blue bridge as part of a groupon deal. With high recommendations from friends we were expecting something amazing and the main was unfortunately just average. Me and my partner both had sirloin steak for main (as part of our deal but usually £20 each) which was cooked just ok and the handmade chips weren't very tasty and you had to pay extra for veg (all that came with it was a small mushroom and a couple of cherry toms). The starters on the other hand were really flavoursome - goats cheese mousse and Stilton soufflé - highly recommend. The staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome, however the main course really let it down for us. Seems a bit over priced if you didn't have a voucher.
- Blue Bridge Restaurant, WrittleaRGyDined on 25/7/2014Excellent food, pleasant attentive staff, nice surroundings, easy parking. A nice experience as always..Special Features:
- JohnboyDined on 11/7/2014Nice Place.Friendly atmosphere and attentive smiling staff. I thought it was a little expensive but overall a great evening ThanksSpecial Features:
- Blue Bridge, WrittleJacs100VIPDined on 11/7/2014My friend ate the sea bass and I had the chicken - both were 'good' but not outstanding. Cutlery very difficult to use (although looked classy!) and my 'plate' was an excuse for a bread board with an indentation round the edges, which unfortunately was not deep enough to prevent my barbecue jus flowing over the sides. Music, initially pop, was wrong for this upmarket venue, but live band and female singer later on were much more suited. Recommend for special occasions as almost London prices.Special Features:
- ExcellentJD72Dined on 13/6/2014Excellent service with some very nice touches. This is where we now go for special occassionsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food in WrittleFabgirlDined on 7/6/2014We travelled to Essex, from London, for a friend's birthday party on Saturday. We decided to stop for lunch on the way in Writtle after finding the Blue Bridge Bar and Restaurant on the internet. This is a very good restaurant indeed with excellent service. The food is very well cooked. I had cashew encrusted hake with an oyster mushroom and thai curry sauce. This was served with new potatoes and green beans and was excellent. My husband had the cod and chips and he was delighted with it. No frozen chips here these were proper hand made chips. We shared a rhubarb crumble and custard and whilst the rhubarb was perfect the crumble had far too much sugar so was consequently overly sweet and too hard. Would visit the Blue Bridge again.Special Features:
- Nice food - no ala carte at lunchBasgirl1Dined on 2/6/2014Lovely lunch, shame a la carte is no longer available though.Special Features:
- Lovely supriseDDiddyDined on 28/5/2014Booked a last minute dinner here. from welcome to finish we had a lovely service, started with oysters and finished with a good ristretto, made with nice coffee in a well maintained coffee machine. The wine was very good, small but well selected choice, the chianti was beautiful and well worth the money, the lamb was a little young, but not lacking in flavour and the waiting staff where not over bearing, paid attention to detail. If i was to nit pick, i would say that the apple tarin pastry was a little overcooked and my friends rum baba could have had a little more kick to it, but it was great to see nice desserts that were made fresh. Thank you everyone for a nice nightSpecial Features:
- not quite rightluvfoodDined on 23/5/2014ordered champagne cocktail, saw Prosecco being poured, when queried was asked "would you prefer champagne?"!! that sums up the place really - not quite right. Long wait for main course, beef wellington cooked well, but with sausage skin in? apparently its traditional!! Thought food bit expensive - no veg came with Wellington so had to order sides. Wine was good. Don't really want to be kept told 'no worries' and "no problem' when ordering food/drink. Not on my list of return to places
- Great food and servicesarahtalanDined on 22/5/2014Ambiance was also really good until a large group arrived and it got incredibly noisy.Special Features:
- Sunday Roast!JOHNDined on 18/5/2014Nice venue, staff very helpful and polite. Mixed Meat roast ok, the pork belly is rich and tasty, beef was tasteless, aged prime beef with a good amount of marbling can taste wonderful, I have no idea where they source theirs from but it could have almost been boiled, a shame as the rest of the meal was passable, roast potatoes ok, veg was good, and pan gravy was passable, prefer slow reduction gravies, but not to everyone's taste, and many establishments cant / wont invest the time. Meal nicely presented Kids enjoyed the pastaSpecial Features:
- MrsloulaDined on 17/5/2014Food was fantastic, singer was really good . Overall a great evening , will definetly returnSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Birthday lunchNewfieDined on 2/5/2014Only used this restaurant as we had a voucher, food was ok but expensive. We wouldn't go out of our way to eat here againSpecial Features:
- Excellent set Sunday lunchLauraDined on 27/4/2014Our second visit to The Blue Bridge and I would thoroughly recommend it. We had dinner before which was lovely but pricey so ideal for a special occasion. This time we had the set Sunday lunch which was equally delicious and really good value. Good choice of starter and main but we were too stuffed to have pudding. Will definitely be returning.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another lovely mealAnt1Dined on 17/4/2014We have eaten here before and really enjoyed the quality of the food and good service. We were not disappointed this time, another lovely meal enjoyed by all in our party.Special Features:
- fantastic valuespikeDined on 14/4/2014we went to the bluebridge on monday 14th april and this has fast become our favourite restaurant! my wife had the prawns with chilli jam and she said the best she has ever tasted!! i had the beef wellington wich was perfection. we are very happy eating here!Special Features:
- Lunch for twoJandLDined on 7/4/2014We booked for lunch on a Monday. The restaurant was busy without being full. Menu was varied and clear. Braised beef was absolutely superb, really tender. Sweet menu was basic old fashioned English, but none the worse for that. Great value, super food, we will be backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- fantastic foodspikeDined on 5/4/2014this was our 4th visit to bluebridge, and i cannot find fault with anything in the restaurant. we came away very happy and very full.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good by with a sting!AndyDined on 28/3/2014The food was pretty good with portions of veg large enough to share between two. The ambiance of the place was good with no rush to serve you although I would recommend the 2nd sitting in the evening. However....I do think this is rather an expensive restaurant and being charged £3.50 for EACH vegetable dish (mains don't come with any veg) I managed to get a bill for over £120 for two and we only had one bottle of wine! Would i go back.... only on special occasionsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

November 26, 2014
An autopsy was scheduled for Sunday for a Rhinelander man found dead in a house fire.
The fire started around 4 a.m. Saturday at a home on Coon Street. While battling the flame, firefighters found a body in the garage.
There has been no positive I.D. on the body, but friends and family say the man was Darrell Gilman, the owner of the home. He lived there with his 17-year-old daughter, but she tells Newschannel 7 she was at her fiancé's house during the fire.
A family friend says he shot pool with Gilman the night before, and Darrell's car and cell phone were in their usual places, indicating he was at home.
The garage was burned to the ground, but a four-foot breezeway in between the house and the garage allowed the firefighters enough time to save most of the house.
The Wisconsin Fire Marshall's Office is investigating the scene, and the Rhinelander Police have an officer watching the home to protect the integrity of the scene.

The latest tech firm to be accused of tax dodging: Microsoft
Surely, if we step back, we can see that the problem here is really quite simple:
- Regulation globally is ill equipped to contend with modern business practices. That was as true ten years ago when, I think, Soros said the world needed to get on top of this problem, as it is today.
So we're just getting caught up in the Government, and its media mouth pieces, posturing and distracting the public from the real economic problems by pointing at these 'unethical' firms, raping and pillaging their land.
I don't approve, but I think it's a sorry effort to complain since we opted into capitalism when we last voted.
In case you'd forgotten, capitalism isn't big on ethics. Look around.

Sixteen-year-old Hannah Anderson's safe rescue from the wilderness and return to her father caused a sigh of relief across America.Her abductor might have believed nobody would ever find him on that Idaho mountaintop. The odds that the four horseback riders (Mike Young and his wife, Mary; Mark John and his wife, Christa) would be visiting the lake when young Hannah was there are above astronomical.Considering the observation skills and real-life survival skills these four had makes me wonder if Hannah's rescue was anything short of divine intervention. — John King, Fort Worth

Still Life revolves around the brutal, serial murders of prostitutes in two different cities during different eras. You start the game in modern-day Chicago as FBI field agent Victoria McPherson, who is young and darkly energetic, with a certain disaffected cool and penchant for crackin' wise that is almost a mandatory trait for adventure game protagonists. Victoria's inability to stop the killer starts getting the better of her, and she finds herself collecting her thoughts while sifting through her dead grandfather's belongings in her childhood home. This brings us to Gustav McPherson, Victoria's grandfather, who is a private detective in Prague in the late 1920s. Gus is more personally haunted by his case than Victoria, and the story arc in Prague carries more weight and feels creepier because of his emotional involvement.

A Youtube video has both LSU and Alabama fans talking, and asking for justice.
New Orleans Police expect to have a man suspected of sexual assault in custody, identified by the suspect's cousin (and sheriff of Russell County, Alabama).
"I get a call from four or five of our family members telling me this is Brian Downing, our Brian Downing, our family," Sheriff Heath Taylor said. "That's my second cousin."
When Russell County's Sheriff Taylor saw the video, he couldn't believe his eyes; pegging the man seen exposing himself as his cousin, Brian Downing, and a man wanted by New Orleans Police.
Pictured above is Brian Downing (left) and the suspect (right) who appears to have sexually assaulted an unconscious LSU fan at a Bourbon Street restaurant.
Place the pictures side-by-side, it even appears Downing is wearing the same wrist watch.
"I immediately called his father and said bring him down to my office now, don't pass go don't collect $200," Sheriff Taylor said.
New Orleans Police hadn't issued a warrant for Downing's arrest but Sheriff Taylor, a 'Bama fan himself, said if they did his cousin would already be behind bars.
The incident obviously didn't amuse New Orleans Police or his employer, a Hibbett Sports store in Phenix City, Alabama.
Deadspin.com reports Downing was a manager at the store.
The company issued this statement Thursday morning:
"...we were made aware of the situation late yesterday afternoon. We investigated it and decided to terminate employment yesterday."
The incident wasn't a laughing matter for Sheriff Taylor either.
"What kind of class does that show?" Taylor asks, "that one of our fans would do that? ...And then I find out that it's my family. It's just hard to believe."

You think you're ready for children. Your husband says he's ready for children. The only problem is your new neighbourhood, where children disappear.
Coming summer '15, from Barbican Press, The Secret Baby Room is a suspense thriller from D.D. Johnston.
Claire Wilson was in the spare room of her new home, unpacking a box marked 'miscellaneous,' when she glanced up and saw the strangest thing. High up in the abandoned tower block that overshadowed their estate, a woman was bottle-feeding a baby.
Why would anyone take a baby into a derelict tower block? And why is her next-door neighbour so determined to delay the block's demolition? In a Manchester neighbourhood plagued by unexplained tragedies, Claire's only allies are an eccentric white witch, a wild-child party girl, and a husband with too many secrets. In ten days' time, the tower block will be reduced to rubble and dust. Do you look the other way or do you dare to push open the door?
I was grateful to read a review of The Deconstruction of Professor Thrub in Issue 62 of Writing in Education (p-86), and I appreciate the reviewer, Holly Howitt-Dring, engaging with the book. There's something very undignified about authors quibbling with criticisms of their work, and I never challenge criticisms of a novel's structure or style or subject or concept – apart from anything else, most of the time the critics have a point.
But the main criticism in this review is that the book is sexist:
Starting with the narrator's love-interest, Lempi, who is initially characterized as not much more than pretty and "petite… with disproportionately large breasts", female characters do not fare well. (…) However briefly female characters appear in the story, they are often superficial, unable to resist any sexual encounter submissive or otherwise. Elsie herself isn't even able to shrug this off; she can't resist her lover, Ramon, and is a sexual plaything for others throughout her story. It seems a shame that these characters play such highly genderized and sexualized parts, though our narrator seems to realize this reductiveness on a foray into Amsterdam's Red Light district.
As a self-proclaimed feminist, who claims to have written a feminist book, I'm probably obliged to dispute this reading. Here's a quick attempt:
1. A book is not sexist because it contains sexist characters. We have to consider to what extent the author endorses those characters' views and intends for readers to identify with them. In The Deconstruction of Professor Thrub, the eponymous professor is a comic caricature of a disgraced, ageing chauvinist, and the narrator's lust for his love interest is doomed, pathetic, and ridiculous: for instance, when they're first alone together he defecates himself and throws his soiled pyjama bottoms from his bathroom window. Further, the narrator's crush, Lempi, spends the last quarter of the book deconstructing herself as sexual object while foregrounding the consequences of hegemonic ideals of female desirability.
2. Regarding whether the narrator's historical fiction is sexist, we need to consider whether it's told from a biased perspective. For example, if a book is in part about sexual relations, are those relations invariably described from a male perspective with female characters presented as the objects of a male gaze? In Thrub, only once is sex described from a male character's perspective, and then the character is a youth who, during the Ukrainian Civil War, tries and fails to lose his virginity with a prostitute. All other sexual experiences – including those of Elsie, Yulia, and Magdalena – are described from a female perspective.
3. To the charge that 'women do not fare well', women did not fare well in mid-20th-century Europe, and it would not be a feminist writing that sought to deny the exploitation and sexual violence that women faced in the past and continue to face today. For instance, it would be wrong for a social history of the Ukrainian Civil War to neglect the prevalence of prostitution and rape.
4. To the charge that 'Elsie can't resist her lover, Ramón,' why should she resist her lover? Surely post-sexual revolution we can accept that women are not asexual and have as much right as men do to enjoy having sex with their partners.
5. To the charge that 'Elsie is a sexual plaything to others throughout her story,' besides Ramón the only other character with whom she has described sexual contact is her predatory boss, Menzies Flynn. It is accurate to describe her as Flynn's sexual plaything, but as this traumatic incident is told from Elsie's perspective, a better way to put it might be that she is a survivor of a sexual assault.
6. Finally, I agree that women in the book usually have 'submissive' roles during sex. The politics of desire are complex and beyond the scope of this response, but we should remember that all the sex described in the book occurred almost a century ago. Rightly or wrongly, it seemed plausible to me that the sex lives of my characters would in some ways reflect the prevailing patriarchal constructions of gender and sexuality. This is not meant to imply that there weren't also alternatives: for instance, while in Barcelona, Elsie encounters women active in Mujeres Libres (Free Women), the revolutionary anarcha-feminist organisation whose members rejected church and state, mocked the idea of marriage, and in some cases pursued same-sex and polygamous relationships. But it was not my intention to write about these revolutionary heroes, and to readers who wish to learn more about their inspiring social revolution, I heartily recommend Martha Acklesberg's Free Women of Spain.
I had hoped to write a feminist book, and I apologise if I have failed.
Talking Literature with Rob Newman at the University of Gloucestershire this Wednesday
I'm excited to be talking literature with Rob Newman at the University of Gloucestershire tomorrow night. Rob is a "goosepimplingly brilliant" comedian, the author of four acclaimed novels, and the star of television shows including The Mary Whitehouse Experience, Newman and Baddiel in Pieces, A History of Oil, and A History of the World Backwards. We'll be talking literature, politics, philosophy, history, and his new novel, The Trade Secret – an outrageous, continent-crossing epic that is described by The Guardian as "a rollicking Elizabethan yarn that has much to say about the origins and nature of modern capitalism."
Tickets are £5 (free to UoG students and staff) and you can book your place here.
As the year ends, I want to say thanks for a few new media pieces that have appeared recently. The photo by Marta Calvo was taken on the terrace of La Central bookstore in Barcelona, when I was visiting to promote the Spanish version of Peace, Love & Petrol Bombs. The picture's in the top Spanish literary magazine, Qué Leer.
I'm also grateful to author Christopher Burns for his intelligent and thoughtful review of The Deconstruction of Professor Thrub, which appears in the new issue of the venerable Warwick Review. The review is much fuller and more thought-provoking than can be conveyed in a sound bite, but here's a sample:
Readers are likely to find Thrub either exciting or precious, but few will disagree that this is an ambitious, erudite work with a profound interest in the world as we find it. This interest encompasses unexpectedly vivid sensory descriptions, scenes of violence such as those found in Babel, a junction of philosophy and farce reminiscent of Stoppard, a B.S. Johnson like use of distancing, and an ongoing dialectic between Kantian and post-Kantian theories of being and action.
In addition, last week I had the pleasure of chatting with journalist Michael Donnelly, who's recently launched an independent media venture: S:News. The interview's available to read here.
Finally, if you're still shopping for presents, have a look at The Morning Star's review of the year's best left-wing fiction. There are some great titles mentioned, so I'm grateful to Paul Simon for including Thrub. He writes:
As expansive in its scope and even more ambitious in its characterisation, DD Johnston's The Deconstruction Of Professor Thrub spans poverty-stricken Belfast, the Spanish civil war and Hungary 1956. A galloping discussion of free will and skit on academic life, it's a book that frequently explodes with raw and unexpurgated humour.
The good people at Libcom.org – 'a resource for all people who wish to fight to improve their lives, their communities and their working conditions' – have just published a review of The Deconstruction of Professor Thrub:
'A historical epic, a story about love, revolution and the university, with echoes of Luther Blissett's Q and a lot of laughs, this is a great book which entertains, confuses and educates in equal measure.You should read it!'
Paz, amor y cócteles molotov: Spanish translation of Peace, Love, & Petrol Bombs is out today
I'm delighted that the Spanish edition of Peace, Love, & Petrol Bombs, Paz, amor y cócteles molotov, comes out today. It's published by Hoja de Lata, a thriving young independent press, which was started by Daniel Alvarez with the redundancy money he received after his job in the book industry fell victim to the recession. Since launching their list in April with a translation of Arraianos by the Nobel Prize proposed Galician author Xosé Luís Méndez Ferrín, Hoja de Lata have enjoyed success with a new book every month. Other texts include Spanish translations of the letters of Elinore Pruitt Stewart, and a Spanish version of Jean Malaquais' Les Javanais, which won the Prix Renaudot in 1939. Paz, amor y cócteles molotov is translated by Raquel Duato García, and I hear it's a brilliant version. I'm eager to read it, and I figure all I need is a decade or two of evening classes….

ALEXANDRIA, La. (AP) - A former police chief in central Louisiana has pleaded guilty to submitting false claims for federal benefits after Hurricane Gustav struck in 2008.
Federal prosecutors say former Ball police chief Jay Barber submitted false statements to the Federal Emergency Management Agency that inflated the use of police vehicles, hours he worked and hours worked by other officers.
The 56-year-old faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine following his guilty plea Friday.
His sentencing is set for April 25. Barber was the town's police chief from 2008 to November.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Disability advocates say new farecard vending machines planned for installation at every Metro rail station have no audio feature, which will make them difficult, if not impossible, for riders who are blind, have impaired vision or cognitive impairments, to use, The Washington Post reported.
According to Metro officials, the transit system plans to have an audio prompt that will help people with hearing impairments installed on the new machines by sometime in the fall. For the full story, click here.

Abound Solar lays off 180
Send this to a friend
- Staff Portland Business Journal
Thin-film solar power panel manufacturer Abound Solar Inc. on Tuesday temporarily laid off 180 people at its Longmont factory as the company converts to making new, better solar power panels.
Abound was the beneficiary in 2010 of a $400 million loan guarantee under the federal stimulus program to support expanded manufacturing and jobs. The guarantee was announced by President Barack Obama in a radio address.
Abound, whose headquarters are in Loveland, said Tuesday it will stop making its "first generation" solar power panel, capable of converting about 10.5 percent of the sunshine that hits it into electricity. After the layoffs, the company will employ about 130 people, said Steve Abely, Abound's CFO.
The company said it will spend the next six to nine months working on its next-generation solar power panel, one that converts 12.5 percent to 13 percent of sunlight into electricity.
That's a minimum of a 20 percent jump in efficiency, Abely said.
Abound will start manufacturing the new panel by the end of 2012, the company said in its announcement.

Esquire just will not stop with the "fop chefs." The magazine that nattied up David Chang, Simon Hammerstein, Michael Psilakis, and others now pits minimalists Andr Balazs and Dan Barber (wearing a $3,500 suit) against maximalists Marco Pierre White and Vikram Chatwal. White, whos shown hurling kitchen utensils at a woman (but in an artful way!), has an interesting take on maximalism: If you are going to serve something with caviar, then be generous with the caviar. I might not be able to eat it all, but I want to see it all. God bless the man, even if Gordon Ramsay beat him out as the "BlackBerry Entrepreneur" of 2008 in British GQ's "Men of the Year" issue.
