Large pile of C&D debris reportedly caught fire at Sun Valley facility.
The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFT) reported on its website that it fought a fire at a Waste Management recycling facility in Sun Valley, Calif., on Aug. 23. When firefighters arrived on the scene, they discovered a "deep-seated blaze" in a large pile of construction and demolition debris. Firefighters described the pile of burning debris as being the size of a football field. More than 120 LAFD firefighters worked in rotating shifts to contain the blaze and extinguish the fire. LAFD reports that the fire was extinguished by that afternoon. One firefighter sustained a hand injury. No other injuries were reported. According to newspaper reports, Waste Management officials said a chemical reaction or "hot load" may have caused the fire. This is a result of improper disposal of household items.

Nine months jail for fake blood test GP
Last updated at 13:23 22 December 2004
A GP who faked blood test results to allay parents' fears about the effectiveness of separate measles, mumps and rubella inoculations that his clinic gave to children has been jailed for nine months.
Dr David Pugh, 55, had admitted faking four test results at the private clinic he ran near Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, in February 2003.
He pleaded guilty to four counts of forgery at a hearing at Cambridge Crown Court in November.
Sentencing had been adjourned until today.
Autism scare
Pugh, a GP for 31 years, comes from Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, but in recent months has been living in Runaway Bay, Queensland, Australia.
Thousands of families concerned at reports that autism could be linked to the controversial all-in-one measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) jab paid £70 to have separate inoculations for their children at Pugh's Elstree Aerodrome clinic, the court was told.
The practice treated around 250 children a week and had a weekly turnover of around £17,500 at the height of the autism scare in 2002.
But parents flooded the clinic with calls 18 months ago after the Mail on Sunday reported that inoculations given at the clinic might not be effective because of the way they were being prepared and stored.
Pugh, who also ran a private clinic in Sheffield, offered free blood tests to worried parents in an attempt to prove whether or not children were inoculated.
He then changed blood test results which showed that children had not been properly inoculated to deceive parents and protect his business, the court was told.
Pugh inserted the results of a blood test on his 26-year-old daughter Josephine, who was inoculated against the three diseases, into negative blood tests on two of his child patients.
'Gross breach of trust'
Pugh had denied any wrongdoing when he went on trial at St Albans Crown Court, Hertfordshire, earlier this year.
That trial was halted for legal reasons and a retrial had been due to start in Cambridge in November.
But before the second hearing Pugh admitted his crimes."The forgery of these four pathology reports was a gross breach of trust that your patients had in you," said Judge John Sennitt, when passing sentence.
"Your decision to falsify reports and then to lie about them to these parents in these cases was a very significant breach of trust that not only affected the patients and their parents, but also potentially undermined confidence in your profession."
Anthony Abell, for Pugh, told the court that his client was "a ruined man".
Mr Abell said Pugh had been declared bankrupt, his clinics in Elstree and Sheffield had been closed and he was almost certain to be struck off by the General Medical Council next month.
"He feels the disgrace very keenly indeed," said Mr Abell.
"He was under the most immense pressure. He buckled under that pressure and he panicked.
"In that panic he took the most appalling decision of his life to resort to using the test certificates in the way we have heard.
"It was a kneejerk reaction to give him time to think.
"He suffers genuine depression and most recently signs of breakdown.
"It will be many years if ever before he can come to terms with this episode in his life."
'A broken man'
Mr Abell said 25 people had given character references for Pugh, including former patients and a former colleague.
"It is inevitable that he will be struck off," added Mr Abell.
"His professional life is completely over. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a broken man, that his life is now in ruins.
"He personally has suffered a great deal as a consequence of the actions he took."
Judge Sennitt imposed four nine-month sentences - one for each of the offences Pugh admitted - and said they would run concurrently.
The judge said Pugh would be eligible for release after serving half of the total nine-month sentence.
Prosecutor Ian Wade told the court that Pugh claimed to be a specialist in the treatment of autism and had been operating a clinic for about seven years.
He said Pugh spent a lot of time in Australia - where his elderly parents live - and employed two doctors at the Elstree clinic.
Anxious parents
Mr Wade said at its height the clinic treated 250 children a week, with parents paying £70 per inoculation, and had a weekly turnover of about £17,000.
He said following the publication of the article suggesting that inoculations were ineffective in February 2003 the clinic was "overwhelmed" by anxious parents.
It was at this stage that Pugh had altered test results which showed that children were not inoculated - by inserting different figures onto forms returned from a laboratory in London.
"It was quite simply cut and pasted into a document," said Mr Pugh.
"Cut out literally with scissors and pasted in place in another document."
He heard Pugh's crimes were uncovered after a parent became suspicious and checked directly with the laboratory which was carrying out the blood tests.
Mr Wade said Pugh had initially denied falsifying any results - although he agreed that the results looked forged and had suggested that they must have been forged by someone else.
'Trust was shattered'
After the hearing Detective Inspector Mark Ross said police were satisfied.
"This was a unique investigation for Hertfordshire Police and we are satisfied with the outcome," he said.
"The parents had put their trust in Dr Pugh and obviously that trust was shattered."
Detectives who investigated Pugh estimate that around 8,000 children were given MMR jabs in Elstree and Sheffield in the months leading up to Pugh's crimes.
Seven families came forward to make complaints to police.
Around 100 families are believed to be pursuing Pugh through the civil courts for compensation.
Among those are Jeremy and Denise Goldsmith, of Mill Hill, north London, whose son Noah, now three, contracted measles after being given an inoculation at Pugh's clinic.
"He could have done serious harm to a lot of children," said Mrs Goldsmith.
"He is a very greedy man."
She added: "You place your trust in your GP, especially regarding your children, and he has taken away a lot of that."

Benefits of sharing code open to debate
Computer security is a strange mixture of intuition, guesswork, mathematical certainty and obsessive attention to detail. The professionals must try to convert specialized formulae into seamless programs without making any mistakes. If one metaphorical back door is left ajar, banks, hospitals, stores and everyone else pays the price. Ordinarily, open source software flourishes in an environment with such complexity. Sharing the code encourages everyone to remove the bugs. But while many professionals who build computer security and encryption tools see the benefits of openness, some worry that the same source code that helps professionals close back doors and plug holes also makes it easier for attackers to locate them first.
So is the openness a help or hindrance? It depends on whom you talk to.
Many think the algorithms are so complex that only peer review and scrutiny can catch strange errors and inadvertent bugs. But it really depends on the application, said Jim Bidzos, chairman at VeriSign and vice chairman at RSA Security. "If youre talking about encryption, peer review of both algorithms and source code is good," Bidzos said. But "if youre talking about other administrative tools, such as authorization tables and procedures, then you wouldnt want an attacker to see it, and there is likely little benefit to source review."
Peer review of encryption code has revealed some startling weaknesses. Last summer, for instance, German cryptographer Ralf Senderek published news of a loophole in the way that a popular encryption program, Pretty Good Privacy, stored the keys. While the software protected personal keys, it did little to stop additional back doors from being installed. PGP Security quickly released a patch to the bug that was apparently introduced by mistake in 1997. News of other holes in popular programs is common. Cryptographers in Czechoslovakia recently found weaknesses in an open source cousin, OpenPGP. Some see these discoveries as proof that the system works. Bugs were spotted and fixed. Holes in closed source products also exist and theyre much more difficult to identify. There are numerous stories of bugs discovered in Microsoft products, for instance, as well as in the code of all prominent vendors. Giving everyone a copy of the source code guarantees that any search will be easier. "My favorite example is Borland InterBase," said Jon Lasser, who helped create Bastille Linux, a version of Linux that is built with an eye toward plugging all security holes. Borland InterBase is a popular commercial database that was released as an open source tool. Seven months later, programmers discovered a previously secret back door. "People were saying it took seven months to find it," Lasser said. "But before it was open source, it was there for seven years." Conversely, shielding the source code from scrutiny does not keep it from falling into the wrong hands. Theo de Raadt, a security expert and the leader of the OpenBSD development team, said that copies of important code from Cisco Systems, Microsoft and other prominent companies are frequently spotted circulating in the underground. "Cisco has 800 employees with read access. Theres no way to trust all of those people," de Raadt explained. "Realistically theres no such thing as closed source. The people who are most capable are going to be able to get access." Others argue that the most important job is ensuring that a talented person scrutinizes the code. Just opening it up is not enough. De Raadts team at OpenBSD is concentrating on eliminating security holes by auditing the source code a task that is also often taken on inside proprietary software companies. The audits have made OpenBSD one of the more popular open source operating systems for use on Web servers and firewalls. "I dont buy the many eyes argument. Most of the people looking at the code arent qualified," de Raadt said. But finding qualified people is not easy because theres not much money in auditing open source. Companies like Microsoft have an incentive to audit their code and remove bugs. If they dont, their customers will desert them. "Experience has shown time and again that just making source available doesnt ensure that it will be reviewed especially by experts competent to find vulnerabilities," said Steve Lipner, manager of Microsofts Security Response Center. "In contrast, Microsoft invests heavily in processes, tools, testing and training to ensure that our code gets in-depth security review by people who are both paid and motivated to find and eliminate vulnerabilities. We also license our source code to enterprises and researchers who are motivated to review it and report any vulnerabilities they find," Lipner said. So does openness help or hurt? De Raadt argues that most sophisticated attackers dont bother reading the source code because it can be too complex. "Most of the people who [are] attacking are behavioral analysts. They play around with the program and see how it feels," he said. "About a quarter of the attacks we see that are serious are discovered by reading code. The rest are discovered by watching the behavior and then they just aim . . . and see what happens."

Perks of being a reader
Amongst all the debate about Kathleen Hale's piece in the Guardian and the Goodreads reviewer allegedly* hit over the head with a bottle by an enraged author, I want to put my emphasis on the positive aspects of reading and reviewing.
*it is under police investigation at present
10 reasons to review - with examples
- Finding works and writers you never expected – Gail Carriger's Etiquette & Espionage, China Mieville's Railsea, Tom Pollock's Skyscraper Throne Trilogy, Catherynne Valente's The Girl Who …series
- Seeing authors grow and change over time – Frances Hardinge, Chris Priestley, Celia Rees, Jonathan Stroud
- Developing relationships within the community – readers, writers, publicists, editors. Chutzpah pays off. My experience so far has been overwhelmingly good. I love it when I tweet or comment and make someone's day – or I get hold of a book I really wanted.
- Improving your understanding of the book market. I've much more idea of age-ranges, the style of different imprints and the likely readership than I had before.
- Matching the right book with the right reader. I cannot emphasise this enough. A reviewer's purpose is to unite the people who like that-sort-of-thing with their preferred reading material. It's not for me to judge – the thing's been written. I know what love and care goes into the vast majority of writing for young people that I read – what earthly good could come of me slagging it off?
- Investigating good and sometimes great writing. How does it work? What can I steal? [ Please don't take that too literally] Even with works that really aren't my thing, I have learned a lot by thinking about why.
- Inspiring me to write. We're all 'just adding pebbles to the cairn' as Maeve Binchy put it so beautifully. Not rivals – fellow creators.
- Receiving books for free – how wonderful is that? If I can bear to, I pass appropriate ones to my local library – doubly pleasing.
- Occasionally getting books well before they come out. I feel so honoured when that happens. Hint hint publishers!
- Pleasure.
I mostly write for Serendipity Reviews and occasionally for Fantasy Book Review. I read the whole book – or I don't review it. Why not join me?
Character Actress
I'd never make a Hollywood leading lady – but I can do character.
This evening I am braving possible thunderstorms and the rumblings of my own trepidation to attend the annual SCBWI BI Agents Party at Foyles Grand Design of a new bookshop. Choosing what to wear was tricky enough – but archfiend Nick Cook has issued us with a second badge.
We have to select one character from children's lit we'd like to be. Crumbs. Where to start? All of them is not an acceptable answer. One close to me seems good.
Hermione? Well, I am a bit of know-it-all but she is too recent. If I included all the children's characters I have grown to love as an adult, it would be impossible. Also I suspect Hermione will be very popular – as will delightful bookworm Matilda.
Eowyn? I think that's cheating. OK I read LOTR when I was still a child but she's not really a children's character. So how about Alan Garner's Susan? Could be – I was utterly convinced that a bracelet of my grandmother's with blue tear-drop stones was a magical talisman – and I'd get two books to inhabit (three if you count 'Boneland').
What about the other Susan – Narnian queen and healer ? Well, putting aside The Problem of Susan for another day, she does get four books to go at – but she is a bit of a bystander. I feel like that with Jane Drew in 'The Dark is Rising' books – I don't really remember her that well.
That goes for many others – and I won't pick ones I only really know from films or TV. Princess Eilonwy from The Chronicles of Prydain is too pretty, and so too is Princess Irene. Never could be doing with that. I will admit to fancying a few 'baddies' , though. Empress Jadis of Charn – who wouldn't want to be remembered this way?
But she was a dem fine woman, sir, a dem fine woman.
That's grown up me speaking, I suspect. Still, I'm far more fond of Captain Hook than Tinker Bell or Wendy – though I do have soft spot for Tiger Lily. She used bow-and-arrows in my mind – and how marvellous was that?
Of course, I can gender-swap. That gives me Kay Harker and Eustace Scrubb. Yes I know – Eustace is a complete prig – but he gets to be a dragon and learns his lesson. I've always loved that. I can identify with the miseries and misfits – Eeyore, Puddleglum, Bard the Bowman [though he gets a bit grand].
Well, time has run out. I have made my choice. If you're at the Agents Party, you'll know. If not, I will reveal all tomorrow.
All fuss and fairytales
There has been quite a bit of uproar about Richard Dawkins supposed opinions on Fairy tales and their effect on children.
Do listen to https://audioboo.fm/boos/2226602-richard-dawkins-fairy-tales-can-be-beneficial-for-children to hear what Richard Dawkins actually said on Radio 4 and if you want some silly fun, follow #DawkinsKidsBooks on Twitter.
I don't intend to comment on over-simplified reporting or whether Mr Dawkins stirred up controversy for the sake of notoriety – whilst these are interesting topics, this is a blog about writing after all.
What I do want to do is to celebrate the love for fairy tales and fantasy I share with thousands of others – and to think about why this is a good thing.
First of all, stories must entertain – and stories with magic of one sort or another can absolutely enthrall both children and adults. The glorious inventiveness of, say Catherynne M.Valente or Frances Hardinge, uses enchantment to engage. We delight in sheer ingenuity – and that I think has much to do with Einstein's point of view.
Secondly, all stories that last act as settings for things we hold precious. They let us experience the results of hope and courage, love and steadfastness for example. They teach, more or less obviously through fable, and the wonder of the fairytale world helps us remember what we learned all the more.
Of course, realistic fiction can do this too – but for those with a taste for the extra-ordinary, characters like Iorek Byrnisson or Eowyn thrill us more. There's more connection with these invented characters, their largeness and other-worldliness gives us space to explore ideas and emotions.
My third and final point is more contentious. The first two could be agreed with by the most ardent rationalist – unless they regard all fiction as irresponsible lies.
However, I do hold with 'there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy'. It is the storyteller's role to leave room for the numinous. My experience is that the deepest, most treasured parts of human life cannot be measured, weighed, dissected or rationalised – and the wisest stories allow for this.
It should remain for the reader to explore how much is metaphor or magic – and how much is 'real'.
I leave the last word to Joanne Harris via Katherine Langrish's excellent blog Seven Miles of Steel Thistles.
A story can bring down a government; or steal away a child's heart; or build a religion; or just make us see the world differently. Storytellers come and go, but stories never die. And if that isn't magic, then I don't know what is.
What you should read – if you fancy it
A shameless variation on Janet Potter's great idea found here.
Are you stuck for an idea?
Do your settings lack oomph?
Could your characters do with a fillip?
Still using the same old phrases?
LOOK NO FURTHER-the solution is at hand…
The best answer I know is in reading:
- Read the books from the charity shop that have been scribbled in.
- Read the artists' statements beside weird stuff you love and don't know why. Some are voiced with pretentious twaddle – others with magic.
- Read old guide books to places you can never go.
- Read tacky tourist maps – especially the badly translated. Follow trails and Blue Plaques. Those noticeboards that pigeons crap on.
- Read ghost advertisements on the sides of brick walls. The nicknames of old streets. Half torn down posters. House names and pub signs.
- Read biographies and newspaper announcements – hatches, matches and dispatches. Gravestones and alabaster monuments. Church leaflets and the lists of vicars, bellringers and flower rotas. Notices outside synagogues, mosques, and temples. Amazing names throng places of worship.
- Read entries in historical directories for your town. Two Yeast Importers and three Tripe Dressers in Scarborough 1890 – who knew?
- Read the handwritten ads on the shoe-shop window. Enjoy the rAnDom capital's and folk punctuation.
- Read pulp fiction and poetry, textbooks and travel writing. Steal unashamedly. Not just fragments of people, and glimpses of places but turns of phrase. And with novels – nick dirty great chunks of plot. If JMW Turner chose to copy Claude and many others to learn – why shouldn't you?
- Read magazines about interests that aren't yours.
- Read vintage catalogues and recipe books, Shell Guides, Enquire Within and tatty old National Geographics.
- Read without shame – comics and battered Readers Digests, lurid trashy paperbacks that predate you, high-minded difficult stuff you 'ought' to have read before, things your friends hate.
- Read again collections of fairy stories and folktales. Seek out urban myths and 'true' ghost stories.
- Read Old Bailey trial reports and yellowy newspaper cuttings found as bookmarks.
- Read anything and everything. Question it all.What would you add to my list?
Please enjoy a snigger at my 'shelfie' whilst I write.
Normal blogposts will resume in due course…
Shake out those shelves
Of course you want more book suggestions to feed your habit…
You want a courageous heroine – here's a baker's dozen of them:
- The Wolves of Willoughby Chase – get two for the price of one – Bonnie and Sylvia.
- My Name is Mina – Mina is imaginative, fragile and full of creative courage.
- Jane Eyre – "I am a free human being with an independent will." Enough said.
- Chantress – Lucy, who finds her own voice in the midst of upheaval. A remarkable story full of the truth of creativity.
- Matilda -"I'm wondering what to read next." Matilda said. "I've finished all the children's books." Roald Dahl at his best.
- The Ransom of Dond – Darra shows the courage of love in a beautiful myth.
- Coraline – for goodness' sake, read the book. She did not need a male sidekick to face the Other Mother.
- A Face like Glass – Neverfell, with her honesty and her expressions take on Caverna. A marvellous fantasy, with depth – and cheese.
- The Visitors – deafblind Adeliza Golding is no Victorian victim!
- The Girl who Circumnavigated Fairyland - Once you've met September, it's hard to forget her.
- Charlotte's Web – I never thought I could love a spider.
- The Book Thief – ah lovely Liesel, naughty and curious and so alive.
Escape to the country?
Each of these is so evocative of the place you will either want to dash there immediately – or avoid it like a sink-hole.
- Watership Down – Hampshire chalk uplands
- The Stone Book Quartet – Cheshire stone country
- Snow falling on Cedars – Puget Sound, Washington State
- Cold Comfort Farm – Deepest Sussex
- The Whale Rider – Maori New Zealand
- The Summer Book - Finnish Archipelago
- Greenvoe – Orkney
- The White Darkness – Antarctica
- The Shipping News – Newfoundland
- Sea Glass – New Hampshire coast
- Waterland – the Fen Country
- The Kingdom by the Sea – Northumberland coast
It's my birthday and I'll blog if I want to…
I hope you're singing that – or at least humming along.
I though I'd use my birthday privileges to blather on about my Hundred Book Challenge – which is now well over the ton, by the way.
I was given Brian Aldiss' Frankenstein Unbound by an older girl on whom I had a crush at Wakefield Girls High School. I had never encountered that sort of Science Fiction before – erudite, serious and yet happy to play with previous literature. Rather mind expanding.
As is its source – Mary Shelley's astonishing Frankenstein; or The Modern Prometheus. Such huge ideas begun at 18 and published at 20 – inspiring stuff. It also led to the dark and rather moving Mister Creecher by Chris Priestley - I loved the way my sympathy was shifted from one character to another so deftly. I have to say this idea of messing about with Proper Books is a refreshing one to me – watch out the Brontes and Miss Austen.
I have a soft spot for the Gothick imagination – so I will give Chris Riddell's Goth Girl the mention it could have had. Not only is it beautifully produced but it is fun.
Next on my list is The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende. You can't really use the word epic now because of the baggage labels dangling from it – but I loved the scale of it all, that similarity to saga on one hand and the baroque complexity on the other. I revel in books where the amazing intersects the everyday without one character blinking.
To be honest I don't really know what the difference is between magical realism and fantasy. I am not sure that I care. I just know that I adore the books that nurture wonder in me. Which leads me like a Will-o'-the-wisp to David Almond and My Name is Mina.
It was dreadfully difficult to choose just one of his – but I settled on Mina for the playfulness and experimentation. It references and informs Skellig, of course – yet stands on its own. It's a bit bonkers and I'm not at all sure about it – but that's what's good. I have learned to enjoy the challenging and the flawed and the downright weird.
My final choice this time, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, surely comes under the weird category. I love its alliteration [this is the Tolkien translation, unsurprisingly] – and the language. It's my dialect – near enough, and I will always have time for the honest, the earthy and the Northern. So Ted Hughes Remains of Elmet is in there and A Kestrel for a Knave [Kes] Barry Hines ought to be.
Fay Goodwin's photographs in my edition of Ted Hughes' poetry are soaked in the spirit of the Pennines, and the film Kes was shot close to where I used to live. I love all that grim-up-north brooding intensity – but I also love send-ups. How on earth could I have missed out Stanley Bagshaw and the Twenty Two Ton Whale? Glorious mickey-taking fun from Bob Wilson.
In Huddersgate, famed for its tramlines,
Up North where it's boring and slow
Stanley Bagshaw resides with his grandma
At Number 4 Prince Albert Row…
Some more thoughts on The 100-book Challenge.
Of course, I reserve the right to alter, update and generally mess around with my own list. Inevitably, I found dreadful omissions – and I have reconsidered putting other forms of writing in. Surely they deserve their own list?
The most interesting thing for me was seeing the connections and clusters of influences on my own writing – sparkling like dewdrops on a cobweb. None of that will make sense to you, Dear Reader, if I do not spell out what I see as the highlights. A heap of books is quite interesting in itself – but how much more so if someone enthuses with joy and detail.
So here goes.
The first book leads me to a facet I admire in other writers – but haven't even attempted – humour. Douglas Adams' Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy had such unexpected comedy – it was a new and startling thing. Could you do that in Science Fiction? It appeared you could. The vigour of it all is something I aspire to – and the joyous use of words. Such characters ! Who can forget Slartibartfast and the coast of Norway, Marvin the Paranoid Android – or Vogon Poetry?
In this batch, I'm going to include the anarchic and bitter Catch-22 by Joseph Heller , Henry Tumour by Anthony McGowan, and The Radleys by Matt Haig. They all deal with dark and important things – without being po-faced. Any book that can make me laugh and cry has to be good.
Some where close by, I'd have to stack Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons – replete with Starkadders, sukebind, and Graceless, Aimless, Feckless, and Pointless the cows. There'd have to be The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster – with the Jules Fieffer illustrations too. I love the ridiculous puns and have a very soft spot for the likes of Tock the Watch-dog Faintly Macabre, the not-so Wicked Which and The Mathemagician – and there's a proper story .
Richard Adams' Watership Down comes next. I had to have this for three main reasons: it's a saga, there's a deep sense of landscape and there are animals that aren't twee. I shall focus on the latter.
I am not a vegetarian – but I have thought hard about it. Generally, I don't eat meat that I don't know the provenance of – I buy organic or free range or do without. Part of this is down to such reading. Almost anything by Dick King-Smith delights me – but The Sheep-Pig just tops the list. I foolishly omitted Anna Sewell's Black Beauty [guaranteed to make me weep buckets ] and Lloyd Alexander's Book of Three where we meet Hen Wen the Oracular Pig for the first time from my original list. Mea culpa.
Good animal writing is tricky to pull off – but I'd have to say I still get great pleasure from Rudyard Kipling's Just-So Stories [not to mention the wonderful, unpatronising language]. The valiant Reepicheep made 'The Voyage of the Dawn Treader' just reach the top of my C.S.Lewis pile. [It has to have the original Pauline Baynes illustrations, of course.]
Third on the alphabetical list came Joan Aiken and I picked The Wolves of Willoughby Chase. Two things I particularly cherish in it – alternate history (I read it late and had not known that you could do such a thing) and Winter. The use of a different 'trouser leg of time' [T. Pratchett, The Night Watch] leads to such wonders as much of Sir Terry's work, and the haunting if flawed Jonathan Strange & Mr Norell by Susanna Clarke.
Ah but Winter! How that speaks to my Yorkshire soul. Three books I left out feature glorious evocations of snow: Dark Matter by Michelle Paver, Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow by Peter Høeg and Vendela Vida's Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name. All of these took me to crisply shown worlds and looked at them through strange and unsettling angles.
I'd have to have Philip Pullman's Northern Lights as part of this Venn diagram – Serafina Pekkala, Iorek Byrnison, and Svalbard all inhabit my Winter imagination. So indeed does the White Witch but I can't have another Narnia – but I will garner both The Box of Delights by John Masefield and The Children of Green Knowe into this corner. Both of these very different yet imaginative works finish a conflict between good and evil on Christmas Eve. I find it hard to think of a much more appropriate time. I'd better include Dicken's A Christmas Carol – I do love a redemption story and I can be shamelessly sentimental at times.
I can't believe I left out Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen – how could I forget brave Gerda and the Little Robber Girl? A wonderful Scandinavian adventure – with heroines.
Next time – from Frankenstein to Sir Gawain.
Do let me know any suggestions you might have – or comments.

I am happy to put in links to The Hive ( which supports independent bookshops) for any title if you are interested – just let me know.
Now – go and do likewise. You might be surprised what you find out.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Giants dominate the mound en route to western title
The home cooking must have agreed with the Elmwood Giants senior men's baseball team last weekend.
The Giants, hosting the Western Canada Senior AA Baseball Championship at Koskie Field, went undefeated in four round-robin games and the championship final.
Ace pitcher Anthony Friesen threw a complete-game two-hit shutout and left-fielder Brett Schreyer hit a two-run home run as the Giants beat the defending champion Trail (B.C.) Orioles in Sunday's final.
"Unbelievable," Schreyer said in describing the decisive swing. "Especially in a situation like that. It felt really good to contribute to a win like that."
With a hit-and-run called for, Schreyer swung at the first pitch and watched as it descended over the left-field fence.
"It wasn't a no-doubter," said the St. Andrews resident, who plays for the Kildonan Mudcats but was added to the Elmwood roster for the tournament.
The Giants found timely similar timely hitting throughout the weekend, but it was their pitching that made the difference. The strong pitching included another solid outing from Friesen, who gave up only one run in a complete game to open the tournament on Thursday against Team Manitoba, a collection of all-stars from the Brandon area.
"We played real good all weekend," said Mark Bullion, the Giants' playing manager. "Our pitchers were the stars all weekend. We gave up five earned runs in five games."
The Giants were the first team to shut out the squad from B.C. all season, and dealt them a 4-1 defeat on Saturday night to close the round robin and clinch the top spot. If B.C. had won the game on Sunday, a late-afternoon rematch would have been needed to determine the champion.
After finishing second in each of the last two years, the Giants are now guaranteed a spot in next year's western championship.
"We had a stronger team this year," said Bullion, a Whyte Ridge resident. "We were a little deeper. We're looking forward to defending it next year. I'm expecting a lot of the guys back."
Elmwood put the finishing touches on a very successful season, winning the provincial championship as well as the westerns.
"We had a bit of a letdown in the league semis," Bullion said. "The guys were a little disappointed about that. But any time you can bring home two championships it's a good season."

Confusing Money for Value
Dan and Sheila Gendron, Contributors
Saturday, September 15, 2012
Activist Post
You should have seen us when we wore Rolexes, big diamonds and the latest fashions. You should have seen our 3000 sq. ft. house that required a full-time housekeeper and gardeners, not to mention the electric, phone and water bills. You should have seen my long, weekly manicured fingernails and perfectly coiffed hair. You should have seen the Cadillacs we drove. It was the image of monetary wealth – unfortunately, all too often confused with real value.
You wouldn't have known we were people who could be happy in a one-bedroom cinderblock house in which we must keep a fire going in order to stay warm. That is, of course, unless you chose to look under the surface. All that opulence never impressed us, even though it was never bought on credit but with money we had worked our buns off to make. It was just a tool we used to get ourselves to our goal – a self-sufficient, off-grid survivalist retreat.
Our first house in the wilderness was a 16' by 32' plywood shack, finished only well enough to be livable, not aesthetically pleasing. It didn't take much of our funds and we chose not to put a lot of money into it at the time. We knew we were going to build another someday (it happened a mere 2 years later). But that plywood shack had VALUE. It kept us warm and protected from the weather and gave us the freedom to finish other projects.

Violent relationships increase a woman's risk for HIV and STDs, says a new report. Women who reported abuse feared that demanding safer sex would result in being hurt, so they remained silent. Researchers say new approaches are needed to address these women's needs given that traditional condom negotiation talks don't work for them.

Restaurants in Asia
From Thai curry and Peking duck to the wonders of street carts, restaurants in Asia offer both adventures and ecstasy. Every country and region has its own specialties, and the big cities also feature plenty of excellent global cuisine from other parts of the world. Get a taste of everything at the best restaurants in Asia.
Victoria City Seafood Restaurant is a great Asia restaurant in the Wan Chai area of Hong Kong. It serves Cantonese dim sum, seafood, and Shanghai-style fare in a classic, banquet-style dining room. Specialties include soup dumplings with hairy-crab roe and steamed rice rolls. Check out the large aquarium outside the entrance, which teems with fish available for fresh-from-the-tank preparation. Budnamujip is located south of the Han River in Seoul. This Asia restaurant does excellent galbi: short ribs seasoned with garlic, Asian-pear juice or rice wine, and grilled right in front of you. Although its name loosely translates to "hole in the wall," Buko Nero is a small restaurant in Singapore that often books out a month in advance thanks to its inventive Asian-Italian fusion cuisine. Highlights include the minced-beef ravioli made with wonton skins rather than pasta.

Should I get certified on Win2k if I work at a non-profit company?
After completing my MCSE track on NT4 five years ago, I was promoted to Network Admin in a non-profit hospital. We still haven't moved to a Win2k domain structure yet, and even when it happens I am not involved in the planning. I was told by a headhunter that staying here longer will hurt my career, because companies like people that move every few years because they get varied experience. Being non-profit, there is not much money for...

training, and the pay is mediocre. I am still not certified on Win2k yet. Should I stay here and self study to upgrade my certification before moving on, or cut the cord now and make a jump into a more progressive environment? During the same time your company has stayed put in the old pre-AD domain structure, most other companies have indeed moved into Active Directory domains (even if only in a small way, rather than whole hog). I'd urge you to stay put long enough to certify on Windows 2000, and plan to take the Windows Server 2003 upgrade exams (70-292 and 70-296) within a year of completing your MCSE on Windows 2000.

Can a pentium d run windows 7
I bought windows 7 32 bit to run on my pentium 4.the microsoft page said it could run it. when i put it in, it took 4 hours to install. the rate was 2.4 GHz. I now dont trust that page. I'm upgrading to a pentium d running at 3GHz. I would like to hear from people running or have used a pentium d. Please help |
My System Specs |
16 Aug 2011 | #2 |
The 4 hours installation time sounds excessive. There must have been another problem (maybe updates?). The pentium should be very capable to run Win7. I have seen it run on lesser CPUs (take all the netbooks with their single core 1.6GHz Atom processors as an example).
The upgrade may help a little, but the key is the speed of the disk. If you can afford it, add a 60GB SSD to the box - just for the OS. That will speed thing up significantly. You are looking at around $100 for the SSD. |

At work I managed to get win 7 enterprise x86 working with Pentium D with 512mb ram. It was just experiment but the surprise was that W7 worked better than win XP pro almost in every aspect. So I leave it with w7.
With one of my colleagues tried that trick to one AMD based machine with 1GB ram but with one core processor at 1.6Ghz - it was fail. I meant, it wasn`t fast as that pentium pc. Apparently win 7 work well with fast cpu/small ram but is not so good with weak cpu/ more ram. At least for us |

I agree with WHS--It might have been the updates. Windows 7 Pro took about 15-20 minutes to install on this machine then the updates started. About an hour or so later it was smokin' fast. 22 second boots and 8 second shut downs.

I installed Win 7 on a 1Ghz P3 with 512M RAM and have installed it on several 3Ghz P4's with 1G of RAM. None of them took 4 hours to install.

16 Aug 2011 | #9 |
I installed windows 7 32 on a Dimension 9150, Pentium D, 2GB RAM, works fine but rather slow.
My System Specs |
17 Aug 2011 | #10 |
It also depends on what other devices such as graphics or sound cards you have fitted as they all use system RAM to some degree. Also depends if you are doing an upgrade or clean install. Seekmeister has got it right with the minimum specs, you would be better getting a RAM upgrade to at least minimum spec and your system should be fine. One of my machines is running windows 7 32 bit pro using an old Athlon 2300 processor with 2 gigs RAM.

Schuerholz will be in his fifth year overall in the Braves organization as a coach or instructor. Prior to his first year in Danville, he was the GCL Braves manager (2011) and a Braves roving instructor (2009-10). The former infielder was an eighth-round selection of the Braves in 2002 and played for the Danville Braves that summer. The Auburn University graduate continued to play in the Braves Minor League system through the 2007 season before retiring.
Joining Schuerholz in the dugout will be hitting coach Rick Albert. A staple in the Braves organization since 1972, Rick will continue his long working relationship with the Braves with his second year in a row with Danville. Prior to coming to Danville he spent the 2010 and 2011 seasons with the GCL Braves. The New York native has nine seasons of experience managing in the organization, as well as coaching at various levels in the Braves organization. Rick's son Luke was a first baseman on the 2002 Danville Braves squad.
Returning for a third year as pitching coach in Danville is Gabe Luckert. Prior to coming to Danville, he was the pitching coach for three seasons with the GCL Braves. As a player, Luckert spent parts of three seasons in the Cubs and Giants organizations, retiring after the 1999 season. He has been with the Braves since 2001 and has also served as a manager with the DSL Braves in previous seasons.
Rounding out the staff will be new athletic trainer Joe Luat. The Oakland, Calif. native received his Master of Science degree in Athletic Training at California Baptist University in 2010. This will be Joe's third season with the Braves having been an assistant athletic trainer with the GCL Braves the past two seasons.
The 2013 Danville Braves begin their 20th Anniversary season at home on June 20 versus the Princeton Rays. For further information on the schedule, season tickets, promotional nights and/or partnership opportunities, please contact the Danville Braves office at (434) 797-3792, email at email@example.com, or log on to www.dbraves.com.

ZaZa Energy Announces Comprehensive Eaglebine And Eagle Ford Drilling Operations
ZaZa Energy Corporation ("the Company" or "ZaZa") (NASDAQ: ZAZA) today announced comprehensive drilling updates in its core Eaglebine and Eagle Ford properties.
"Over the past several months we've significantly strengthened our capital structure, and, as a result, are in a much stronger and more stable position to further develop and prove up our Eaglebine assets while supplementing our existing activities in our Eagle Ford acreage. With the improvements in our balance sheet and new positive developments in our operations, we are sufficiently capitalized to execute on our strategy and unlock value from our Eaglebine assets," stated Todd A. Brooks, Chief Executive Officer of ZaZa.
Eaglebine/Woodbine Stingray Well – Drilling Completed; Hydraulic Fracturing to Begin Immediately
ZaZa has completed drilling and running production casing on its Eaglebine Stingray A-1H well in Walker County, Texas (11,780 feet - True Vertical Depth (TVD) / 17,060 feet – Measured Depth). The Company has drilled a pilot hole through the objective section (12,242 feet – True Vertical Depth), taken sidewall cores, and run a full suite of logs including a Schlumberger Quad-Combo, Elemental Capture Spectroscopy Sonde, Dual-Oil-Based Micro Imager, Sonic-Scanner and a post-processed ELAN Shale Oil Evaluation (ELAN) for the empirical measurement of hydrocarbons in place. In addition, ZaZa has completed drilling an approximately 4,700-foot, in-zone lateral in the objective section of the well and commenced completion operations.
ZaZa expects to begin hydraulic fracturing operations on November 12, 2012, with initial production planned for late November 2012. Results from ZaZa's extensive technical evaluation of the Stingray A-1H well are very encouraging with the ELAN analysis estimating 21 BCF and 29 MMBO per section in place. These current estimates are preliminary and are subject to revision based on actual production and additional data. Additionally, based on initial information gathered from the Stingray A-1H well, the Company has entered into a multi-well rig contract with Nabors Drilling USA, is preparing to install production facilities, and has entered into a multi-year lease for a field office and yard near its Eaglebine acreage in Walker County, as it further appraises and delineates its Eaglebine acreage position.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
