What a great way to use up leftover pork! I loved this sandwich - even more than I thought I would. The sauteed onions and apples were so yummy. I used a very light homemade gravy - more of a sauce - and only a little bit. Thank you! Made for the Soup-A-Stars during ZWT9
Just had to try this . . . and was very surprised on the outcome. Easy to prepare and the flavors melded together very nicely. Especially liked the thick slice of homemade dark rye with the pork and onions. DH, however, requested the apples on the side next time. Me, I thought it was very good in the sandwich.

Arrived at airport called the hotel, they said ten minutes but arrived about 20 minutes no problem. Driver was great and friendly! Proceeded to check in and heard the lady at desk tell the person checking in in front of us to be careful about floor as carpets were just cleaned. We checked in girl was very friendly and helpful! We got to room where I took off my shoes and instantly my socks were WET!! Daughter tried to sit on couch but that too was wet from "being cleaned" that morning!! Husband called to request different room but were told sorry we told you they were just cleaned and could be alittle damp and no rooms were available. He then asked would stay in room if your floors and furniture were wet! no response from desk!! just we told you... We opened the door to room and noticed our neighbors were carrying loads of towels they were laying on the floor to dry the carpet in that room!! We asked them if their room was same with wet floors, they said yes. Needless to say we checked out and were told we would not be charged if "we did not take anything from room" I would never recommend this hotel!! So if you choose to stay call before to make sure they have not cleaned the carpets that day or you will be wearing wet socks!!!

SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) - Regional authorities have declared a state of emergency in the area around Sochi because of flooding and mudslides less than five months before the Russian city hosts the Winter Olympics.
Sochi residents were asked not to leave their homes and a Reuters photographer in the city said there were long traffic jams because of knee-high puddles following heavy rain.
An emergency services spokeswoman said the state of emergency was declared because of high water levels in rivers in the region on Tuesday, and firefighters were pumping water from the streets of Sochi on the Black Sea coast.
"Now the situation has started to stabilize," she said.
Residents were evacuated from the nearby village of Kepshta which was threatened by mudslides in the Adler area, where some of the Games venues are located, the emergency services said.
Alexander Zhukov, the head of the Russian Olympic Committee, told state television he had no doubt Sochi would be ready for the Games next February, which President Vladimir Putin wants to show how far Russia has come since the Soviet era ended in 1991.

Lompoc's Gang Injunction Could Serve as Model for Santa Barbara
There are 3 comments on the Noozhawk story from Apr 29, 2010, titled Lompoc's Gang Injunction Could Serve as Model for Santa Barbara. In it, Noozhawk reports that:
Sheriff Bill Brown tells of his own success story with gang injunctions and says they're effective as one part of a 'multipronged approach' Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown was chief of the Lompoc Police Department when the department adopted its gang injunction five years ago.

What about how they keep a sex offender in a house in Lompoc and spend $30,000 a month on him and he has security, etc. That's more than we get. Where is our security? We have people climbing over our fences and picking our padlocks to get into our yards. Why don't the cops do their jobs and ticket the thousands of vehicles with no front license plate and collect the fine from this. There are millions of such vehicles all over California and thousands in Lompoc alone. And what about all the people who park on their front lawns and store tons of cars, trucks, motor homes, boats, etc on their front lawns and in the street. And all the basketball hoops they store on the sidewalks and in the street and play basketball all day long in traffic. Kids ride their bikes on the sidewalks which is illegal and they don't wear helmets and that is illegal, too. The cops don't do anything here but drive around and single out certain people for doing nothing more than taking a walk down the sidewalk. Asking where they work and wanting to see their identification and when they are retired and didn't bring their wallet along just to walk around the block, the cops accuse them of being unemployed vagrants. There is all this bullying called mobbing and gangstalking that is going on. What are they doing about that? Lompoc is a joke and so is all of California.
#2 Nov 4, 2012
Gangstalking is a big problem everywhere and once a small area like Lompoc and Santa Maria we have now became subject to these sick and twisted acts of evil. To everyone who is gangstalked keep on being positive for the these helpers of the devil, will have to answer to their vicious crimes when all said and done.Keep on being strong for nothing last forever and know that we will all have to answer to God when the time comes...peace be with you all.

No Shit, this is getting pretty bad. for the last 3 weeks they have attempted to cause ME to have an accident. Now they are simply attempting to run me over in a cross walk. Ive given Lic. no.( the ones that have lic. numbers to the pd_} but they simply say they may have borrowed cars. Well arrest the ones that had the car during the last 10 min. when they tried to run me over or simply keep stalking me during the last hour....Its quite scary for an old grandmother let me tell you.

HIGHLIGHTS: Here are a few lies you might be telling yourself about money. The debt you have is okay because it's "good debt" . . . you don't have enough money to invest . . . and you hate your job, but your pay is decent, so it's worth it.
FULL STORY: Here are five lies you're probably telling yourself about money.
1. You have "good debt." We've all been told there's a difference between "good debt" like student loans or your mortgage . . . and "bad debt" like from credit cards. And while it's true that some kinds of debt are worse than others, it's best to avoid it altogether.
2. You don't have enough to invest. If you have enough money for a Netflix subscription or a cup of coffee at Starbucks, then you have money you can invest.
3. You'll be earning more in the future. We all want to assume we'll earn more as we get older and more experienced, but there are no guarantees.
4. You saved money buying something on sale. If you rationalize a purchase by saying it was on sale, or that you used a coupon, you're ignoring the fact that money still left your wallet. You only truly "save" money if you were planning to buy it anyway.
5. You get paid well, so your crappy job is worth it. Financial security is important, so it's not necessarily smart to quit your stressful job, follow your passion, and become a professional "Pokemon Go" player.
But if you live reasonably and spend wisely, you should be able to find a middle ground where bills get paid AND you're happy at work.
You're not the only guy who has ZERO CONFIDENCE when it comes to picking what to wear on a date. In fact, it'd be strange if you DID have that confidence.
A new study asked men if they would want a woman's help picking out what to wear on a date . . . and 100% of them said yes.
60% said they'd want help from a female stylist . . . 40% would want help from a female friend . . . and nobody would try to choose on their own
HIGHLIGHTS: 33% of people would rather lose their CAR than all the photos on their phone, according to a new survey. But about one in five people say they never back UP their photos.
FULL STORY: Do you back up the photos from your phone? You probably should . . . since apparently they're the most valuable thing you own.
A new survey asked people if they'd rather lose the pictures on their phone, or other valuable things.
Half of people said they'd be fine losing their phone as long as they didn't lose their pictures . . . 40% would rather lose their credit card, wallet, or laptop . . . and 33% would rather lose their CAR.
But . . . about one in five people say they never back UP their photos.
The survey also found the events where we take the most photos are birthdays . . . vacations . . . weddings . . . our kids' sporting events . . . and our kids' plays.
And the average person takes 35 pictures and 13 videos a month
FULL STORY: A new study found there's an easy way to make yourself happier on a daily basis. The bad news is it involves eating more fruits and vegetables. Why can't these studies ever involve bags upon bags of Doritos?
Researchers at the University of Warwick in England had more than 12,000 people keep food diaries while they also kept track of their mental health.
And they found that how happy you are increases with EVERY SERVING of fruit and vegetables you have each day. And it doesn't level off until your eighth serving.
So in other words, one serving a day will make you happier than none at all, and eight servings should put you at peak happiness. But more than that is overkill as far as mental health goes.
And here's the coolest part. We've known for a while that fruit and vegetables help prevent things like cancer. But your cancer risk drops slowly over the course of a decade or two.
But with mental health, you see the effects much faster. And within two years, someone who goes from eating no servings a day to eight servings would have an increase in happiness on par with getting a JOB when you're unemployed
HIGHLIGHTS: According to a new computer-mapping technique, AMBER HEARD is the most beautiful celebrity in the world. She's followed by Kim Kardashian, Kate Moss, Emily Ratajkowski, and Kendall Jenner.
FULL STORY: Johnny Depp, you messed up, son. You let one of the most beautiful women in the world get away when you broke up with AMBER HEARD. And that's not just my opinion . . . it's straight-up SCIENCE.
There's a thing called "The Golden Ratio", and it goes all the way back to ancient Greece. It's a standard of beauty based on the ratio of Phi, which is 1.618.
It's a little too mathemaniacal for me to understand, being a radio guy and all. But basically, it comes down to all the stuff on your face . . . your nose, mouth, eyes, eyebrows, etc . . . and the various distances between them.
Or something like that. Anyway, a British cosmetic surgeon came up with a face-mapping program that calculates just how close a person is to that Golden Ratio. They tested a bunch of celebrities, and Amber came out on top.
She's followed, in this order, by Kim Kardashian, Kate Moss, Emily Ratajkowski, Kendall Jenner, Helen Mirren, Scarlett Johansson, Selena Gomez, Marilyn Monroe, and Jennifer Lawrence.
But the competition was fierce. The difference between Amber at #1 and Jennifer at #10 is only about two and a half percent.
They also determined who had the most attractive individual facial components. And they found that Amber has the best NOSE and CHIN.
Kate Moss has the best FOREHEAD . . . while Kim Kardashian has the best EYEBROWS. But Scarlett Johannson has the best EYES.
Emily Ratajkowski has the best LIPS, and RIHANNA has the best FACE SHAPE, even though she didn't make the overall Top 10.
HIGHLIGHTS: A new survey found men are 33% less likely to go to the doctor than women. The top two reasons men avoid the doctor are that they're too busy . . . or they're afraid of what might be wrong.
FULL STORY: Men don't like going to the doctor. And that's fine, because pulsating, oozing growths usually go away on their own.
A new survey found men are about 33% less likely than women to go to the doctor on a regular basis.
Here are the seven reasons why men say they avoid the doctor . . .
1. I'm too busy, 24%.
2. I'm afraid of what might be wrong, 22%.
3. I don't like uncomfortable body exams, 19%. (Oh come on. The sound of that rubber glove snapping behind me brings a smile to my face.)
4. I don't like being weighed, 12%.
5. I don't like being naked under the gown, 8%.
6. I don't want to answer personal questions from the doctor, 7%.
7. It's too cold in the doctor's office, 4%.
HIGHLIGHTS: Here are five dangerous chemicals you come in contact with every day. Pesticides that were used as chemical weapons in World War Two . . . phthalates in plastics . . . PBDE's in flame retardants . . . mercury in fish . . . and lead in old paint.
FULL STORY: Here are five chemicals you come in contact with every day, and are PROVEN to be bad for your health. So the key is to limit your exposure as much as possible.
1. Organo-phosphate pesticides. They account for half of the pesticides we use, but they were originally CHEMICAL WEAPONS in World War Two. They're the main reason people will pay extra for organic produce.
2. Phthalates. (Pronounced "thalates") They're found in soft plastics, and they're also used to bind chemicals with different scents. So you can avoid them by using glass containers in the microwave, and buying unscented lotions and soaps.
3. PBDE's. It stands for poly-brominated di-phenyl ethers. They're used as flame-retardants in TVs, computers, insulation, and older products with foam, including old baby pillows. And they've been linked to thyroid issues.
4. Mercury. It's in fish because of pollution. Small fish have it, and bigger fish like tuna have even more, because they eat the small fish. But you can also get mercury poisoning from broken light bulbs, and older washing machines and dryers.
5. Lead. It's linked with ADHD and lower IQs. So you should have the paint tested on your house if it was built before 1978. And if the water crisis in Flint, Michigan has you worried, you can buy a kit and test your tap water for about 10 bucks
HIGHLIGHTS: A new survey found 64% of us hate Mondays. And the top things we do to get through Mondays are drinking extra coffee and listening to music.
FULL STORY: A new survey found 64% of people hate Mondays.
So . . . how do we get through this terrible, terrible day every week? Here are the top five things people do to survive Mondays . . .
1. Drink extra coffee.
2. Listen to music.
3. Eat lots of food.
4. Exercise.
5. Have sex
HIGHLIGHTS: A new study found we use our phones 76 times a day . . . and we touch the screen an average of 2,617 times a day.
FULL STORY: Man, I wish someone would touch ME as much as they touch their phone. Then maybe my dad would respect me.
A new study found we touch our phones an average of 2,617 times a day. That includes every single touch, tap, and swipe . . . so if you're texting, every letter you press counts as a touch.
And the 10% of us who use our phones the most touch them 5,427 times a day.
The study also found we use our phones 76 times a day, which is about five times an hour. And we're using them for a total of two hours and 25 minutes.
And finally, 87% of us sometimes check our phones in the middle of the night.
HIGHLIGHTS: According to a new survey, the top five foods we think are healthy but aren't are granola bars, frozen yogurt, SlimFast shakes, orange juice, and coconut oil. And four foods that are healthier than we think are sushi, tofu, quinoa, and hummus.
FULL STORY: "The New York Times" recently did a survey where they asked people how healthy they thought different foods were. Then they did the same survey with nutritionists. Here are five things you might THINK are healthy, but aren't . . .
1. Granola bars. 71% of people said they were healthy, compared to just 28% of nutritionists. Mostly because of all the added sugar.
2. Coconut oil. 72% of people said it's healthy, compared to just 37% of experts.
3. Frozen yogurt. 66% of Americans think it's healthy, compared to 32% of experts.
4. SlimFast shakes. 47% of people said they're healthy, compared to 21% of experts.
5. Orange juice. 78% of people said it's healthy, and only 62% of nutritionists agreed. Because again, it usually has a lot of added sugar.
The survey also found a few foods that are HEALTHIER than we think they are: Only 49% thought sushi was healthy . . . tofu, 57% . . . quinoa, 58% . . . and hummus, 66%. But about 90% of nutritionists agreed that all four of those are generally good for you.
The top five foods we DO know are good for us are apples, oranges, oatmeal, chicken, and turkey. And the top five foods we know are UNHEALTHY are cookies, white bread, diet soda, beef jerky, and hamburgers
We're rapidly approaching the point where we're going to need vacations away from our PHONES more than our jobs.
A new survey found the average person spends more time on their phone when they're on vacation than they do on the beach. We'll use our phone for three hours a day on a trip . . . and lie on the beach for two-and-a-half hours.
The survey also found 50% of people immediately upload their vacation pictures onto social media to show off . . . and 28% do it to make their friends jealous.
HIGHLIGHTS: A new study found people in North Carolina are the most likely to be happy and SMILING in their mugshots. People in West Virginia look the saddest.
FULL STORY: I'm pretty sure if I got arrested and they were taking my mugshot, I WOULDN'T be smiling like a doofus . . . in all honesty, I'd be crying like a baby.
A new study ran more than 30,000 mugshots through an app that analyzes people's pictures to detect their emotions . . . and it found the states where people have the HAPPIEST mugshots.
The top five are: North Carolina . . . Nevada . . . Indiana . . . Maine . . . and New York.
The crime where people are most likely to take a happy mugshot is contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
The five states with the saddest mugshots are: West Virginia . . . Montana . . . Idaho . . . Utah . . . and Oregon.
The crime where people are most likely to take a sad mugshot is cruelty to animal

I have been running into problems with multisite domain mapping that I have not been able to solve. I have gone several rounds with hostgator support without success. Here is the scenario:
I have a hostgator account for the URL main-domain.com. It is a new install of wordpress 3.0 configured to have WP multisite capabilies. I then created a new a subdirectory site at main-domain.com/subsite. Everything seemed to be working fine.
I then tried to map the domain "subsite.com" to the subdirectory site "main-domain.com/subsite" using the "wordpress-mu-domain-mapping" plug-in. I have been using the method described in http://ottopress.com/2010/wordpress-3-0-multisite-domain-mapping-tutorial/
I installed the domain mapping plugin as suggested and everything seemed to set up fine. Since "subsitecom" was purchased through godaddy and I went to the godaddy contol panels and changed the DNS "A" record of subsite.com to point to my hostgator ip address of XXX.134.XXX.743. I then went to my hostgator cpanel for main-site.com and created subsite.com as an addon domain (without any redirect rules).
I then went into my wordpress admin for main-domain.com/subsite and set up the additional domain of of "subsite.com" to be mapped to that subdirectory site. That subdirectory site now has two domains listed: 1) main-domain.com/subsite and 2) subsite.com.
When main-domain.com/subsite is checked as the primary domain everything works as expected. The site loads perfectly, the backend is fully functional, and when you navigate in the browser to subsite.com you get automatically redirected to main-domain.com/subsite (with main-domain.com/subsite showing as the final URL).
However, all hell brakes lose when you go to domain mapping admin for main-domain.com/subsite and try to make the change to subsite.com as the primary domain. Specifically, I mark the radio button for subsite.com and hit the "set primary domain" button and then I get a white screen with the following error message:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, firstname.lastname@example.com and inform them of the time the error occurred
Notice the syntax of the address in the message "firstname.lastname@example.com". It appears to be looking for a subdomain "subsite." I don't know why this is happening.
After this happens if you navigate to EITHER subsite.com or main-domain.com/subsite you get a firefox message that states:
The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
Does anyone know what is going on here and/or how to fix it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Here's the scenario.
- We create a campaign in our database of email addresses ( around 200K emails per campaign).
- We send 4 such campaigns (newsletters) daily.
- The emails are such that a lot of users will come to the site as soon as they receive the email.
- So, even before our campaign has finished, the load on the server gets double high because users have already started clicking.
- The campaign sending cron job and receiving php script are both on the same server setup (1 Web Server + 1 DB Server + 1 Mail Server).
However, the hosting company now screaming that we have very high IOPS on their cloud (roughly 2000+) so they are going to downgrade us soon.
What should be our next plan of action and how to optimize this to keep it going over the holiday season.

I don't need Alex to complete me, I don't need to backpack through Europe to "find myself," and I don't need to date 20 more people to make sure he's the one. I'm not going to live my life in fear of divorce or poverty or anything else for the sake of other people, because at the end of the day, it's my life, my love and my happiness.
Today I'm 36 and still married to the man who asked to spend the rest of his life with me while I was finishing my last year of college. As the full-blown grown up I am today, I don't deny that we got lucky. The statistics were stacked against us. But that doesn't make our decision wrong or misguided.
If your love is truly eternal, what's the rush? If it's real, that person will continue to be committed to you two months from now, two years from now, and two decades from now. Grow, learn, travel, party, cuddle, read, explore. Do. Freaking. Something... other than "settle down" at 23 with a white picket fence.

How about a nice red, white, and blue summer parfait? Protein from the yogurt, and the beneficial antioxidants from the blueberries and cherries combine to produce this sweet and healthy snack. It is also a beautiful dessert for your Memorial Day or Fourth of July party. Not only do the colors of the fruits and yogurt remind us of an American flag, but both blueberries and cherries are rooted in history. Everyone associates cherries with George Washington chopping down the cherry tree. But did you know blueberries were an important fruit for American Indians in the northeast?
This parfait is best with fresh summer fruit, but if you cannot find fresh fruit you can use frozen ones in the off-season. With minimal preparation and ingredients needed, you will find this is a perfect snack or dessert for those hot summer nights.
The parfait can be made without any cooking. You can also choose to macerate the cherries in the Kirsch and marinate the blueberries in the honey ahead of time. Then just begin layering the fruits and yogurt.
We suggest brief cooking, though, so the cherries and blueberries can release their juices. The combination of warm fruits on the cold yogurt is also a very interesting option.
Servings: 4 servings
Serving hint: Use small interesting cordial or wine glasses to reduce the portion size and calories but still present a visually enticing dessert.

"Thefertility of Hill's imagination, the range of his power, the sheer quality ofhis literary style never ceases to delight." —Val McDermid,author of Fever of the Bone
In a stand-alone psychological thrillerfrom acclaimed mystery master Reginald Hill, a mysterious ex-con returns to hisremote childhood home on a deadly hunt for revenge.

James's The Private Patient, and the compellingcharacterizations of Hill's own Dalziel and Pascoeseries, Hill delivers a frightful, fast-paced study of suspense at its mostsinister in The Woodcutter.
Editorial Reviews
The New York Times
A grim-dandy psychological thriller about betrayal and revenge set in England.
Sir Wilfred Hadda has risen far from his humble days as a woodcutter's son. Nicknamed both Wilf and Wolf, it's the latter that follows him throughout the story. He's handsome, rich, well-connected and married to a gorgeous upper-class woman. What more could a man want? Oh wait, there's someone at the door. The authorities arrive with a warrant, something about fraud and child pornography. In a panic at the false accusations, Wolf foolishly bolts into London traffic, with macabre consequences that are not for the squeamish reader. As an accused and apparently proven child molester, the tabloids crucify and the court convicts him. His trusted friend/lawyer abandons him, his wife divorces him, his business goes belly-up and he lands in prison. Only his physical toughness protects him from his pedophile-loathing fellow convicts. He simply cannot sink lower. The Swedish-Nigerian psychiatrist Alva Ozigbo (a beautiful woman, of course) tries to persuade him to face up to his obvious guilt. He vehemently protests his innocence, though admitting guilt may shorten his sentence. Years later he is released, but he is a pariah in the Cumbrian village where he was raised and chooses to return. He just wants to become a simple woodcutter, though he has questions for which he hires a private investigator. The answers may take a while, the P.I. tells him; what will you be doing in the meantime? "Sharpening my axe," Wolf replies. Clearly, he had been set up. But by whom, and why? And what will he do about it? Doctor Ozigbo plays an intriguing secondary role as Wolf navigates the many dangerous twists and untangles the deceit that dates back for a generation.
Near the end, a character refers to the fate of "the dreadful, drab English." There's nothing drab about this dark and compelling novel,although some of its characters are dreadful human beings.

Read an Excerpt
Once upon a time I was living happily ever after.
That's right. Like in a fairy tale.
How else to describe my life up till that bright autumn morning back in 2008?
I was the lowly woodcutter who fell in love with a beautiful princess glimpsed dancing on the castle lawn, knew she was so far above him that even his fantasies could get his head chopped off, nonetheless when three seemingly impossible tasks were set as the price of her hand in marriage threw his cap into the ring and after many perilous adventures returned triumphant to claim his heart's desire.
Here began the happily ever after, the precise extent of which is nowhere defined in fairy literature. In my case it lasted fourteen years.
During this time I acquired a fortune of several millions, a private jet, residences in Holland Park, Devon, New York, Barbados and Umbria, my lovely daughter, Ginny, and a knighthood for services to commerce.
Over the same period my wife Imogen turned from a fragrant young princess into an elegant, sophisticated woman. She ran our social life with easy efficiency, made no demands on me that I could not afford, and always had an appropriate welcome waiting in whichever of our homes I returned to after my often extensive business trips.
Sometimes I looked at her and found it hard to understand how I could deserve such beauty, such happiness. She was my piece of perfection, my heart's desire, and whenever the stresses and strains of my hugely active life began to make themselves felt, I just had to think of my princess to know that, whatever fate brought me, I was the most blessed of men.
Then on that autumn day – by one of those coincidences that only a wicked fairy can contrive, our wedding anniversary – everything changed.
At half past six in the morning we were woken in our Holland Park house by an extended ringing of the doorbell. I got up and went to the window. My first thought when I saw the police uniforms was that some joker had sent us an anniversary stripaubade. But they didn't look as if they were about to rip off their uniforms and burst into song, and suddenly my heart contracted at the thought that something could have happened to Ginny. She was away at school – not by my choice, but when the lowly woodcutter marries the princess, there are some ancestral customs he meekly goes along with.
Then it occurred to me they'd hardly need a whole posse of plods to convey such a message.
Nor would they bring a bunch of press photographers and a TV crew.
Imogen was sitting up in bed by this time. Even in these fraught circumstances I was distracted by sight of her perfect breasts.
She said, 'Wolf, what is it?' in her usual calm manner.
'I don't know,' I said. 'I'll go and see.'
She said, 'Perhaps you should put some clothes on.'
I grabbed my dressing gown and was still pulling it round my shoulders as I started down the stairs. I could hear voices below. Among them I recognized the Cockney accent of Mrs Roper, our housekeeper. She was crying out in protest and I saw why as I reached the half landing. She must have opened the front door and policemen were thrusting past her without ceremony. Jogging up the stairs towards me was a short fleshy man in a creased blue suit flanked by two uniformed constables.
He came to a halt a couple of steps below me and said breathlessly, 'Wolf Hadda? Sorry. Sir Wilfred Hadda. Detective Inspector Medler. I have a warrant to search these premises.'
He reached up to hand me a sheet of paper. Below I could hear people moving, doors opening and shutting, Mrs Roper still protesting.
I said, 'What the hell's going on?'
His gaze went down to my crotch. His lips twitched. Then his eyes ran up my body and focused beyond me.
He said, 'Maybe you should make yourself decent, unless you fancy posing for Page Three.'
I turned to see what he was looking at. Through the half-landing window overlooking the garden, I could see the old rowan tree I'd transplanted from Cumbria when I bought the house. It was incandescent with berries at this time of year, and I was incandescent with rage at the sight of a paparazzo clinging to its branches, pointing a camera at me. Even at this distance I could see the damage caused by his ascent.
I turned back to Medler.
'How did he get there? What are the press doing here anyway? Did you bring them?'
'Now why on earth should I do that, sir?' he said. 'Maybe they just happened to be passing.'
He didn't even bother to try to sound convincing.
He had an insinuating voice and one of those mouths which looks as if it's holding back a knowing sneer. I've always had a short fuse. At six thirty in the morning, confronted by a bunch of heavy-handed plods tearing my home to pieces and a paparazzo desecrating my lovely rowan, it was very short indeed. I punched the little bastard right in his smug mouth and he went backwards down the stairs, taking one of his constables with him. The other produced his baton and whacked me on the leg. The pain was excruciating and I collapsed in a heap on the landing.
After that things got confused. As I was half dragged, half carried out of the house, I screamed at Imogen, who'd appeared fully dressed on the stairs, 'Ring Toby!'
She looked very calm, very much in control. Princesses don't panic. The thought was a comfort to me.
Cameras clicked and journalists yelled inanities as I was thrust into a car. As it sped away, I twisted round to look back. Cops were already coming down the steps carrying loaded bin bags that they tossed into the back of a van. The house, gleaming in the morning sunlight, seemed to look down on them with disdain. Then we turned a corner and it vanished from sight.
I did not realize – how could I? – that I was never to enter it again.
From the Hardcover edition.

This book will be one of my favorites from Reginald Hill. It pulled me in from the beginning, and I couldn't wait to find out what would happen next. I love Hill's humor and many classical references. He never insults the intelligence of his readers. When I read of his recent death, I felt as though I'd lost a good friend.
A very tight, well written book. A distinct pleasure to resd. Not the norm these days when compared to best sellers from authors who use formulas to produce one "masterpiece" after the other. Hill's creativity and originality is very much appreciated!
The Cumbrian woodcutter's son Wolf Hadda married his childhood sweetheart Imo though she is of noble blood. He became a successful businessman as he, his wife and their daughter live in affluence. However, their idyllic perfect life ends when police arrest him for financial fraud and child porn. He is sent to a maximum security prison while his spouse divorces him and marries his lawyer. However, the straw that broke the stoic Hadda is the death of his teenage child. Hadda becomes mute refusing to speak with anyone. Several years into his enforced silence and insistence of innocence, prison psychiatrist Dr. Alva Ozigbo finally reaches past his The Man In The Iron Mask facade. Remorseful he admits his guilt, which leads to his parole. Hadda returns to Cumbria seeking solace and answers to what happened several years ago just prior to that knock on his door by the cops. This is a superb psychological suspense that provides Hadda's present and back story in smooth transitions. Hadda and to a lesser degree Alva holds the intriguing plot together as the audience will wonder about the fall from grace of the businessman that turned him stoically silent. With a major twist providing the why, fans will relish The Woodcutter as one of the year's best character driven thrillers. Harriet Klausner
The initial chapters are promising, but spots in the book are too slow and the last quarter has too many unbelievable twists and coincidences. Entertains, good character development and sense of setting, but not brilliant.
very interesting, non series novel
Although edgier than Dalziel and Pascoe the characters are, as usual, many layered as is the plot.
The Woodcutter is the most tedious book I've ever read (okay, maybe not, but it's up there). The perspective shifts from person to person and I had to reread large sections of the book to get a grasp on what was actually happening - is this a flashback, a new development in the plot, or the back of my eyelids? I was also not impressed with the plausibility of certain relationships in the book, not because I cared about the likelihood of these particular people hooking up, but because I couldn't care less about the characters in general. The author never really grabbed my attention and the 500+ pages were torturous bits of often irrelevant dialogue and mind-numbing storyline. I would recommend this book to people whose company I don't enjoy all that much. Reviewed by Brittany for Book Sake.

The pride of their parents' loins. These teen tarts are too tawdry to run for prom queen; but perfect for Anabolic's Teenage Anal Princess! In this all-anal adventure, these teeny-boppers will tap dance their way into your hearts ... or into a tissue. Tantalized by teens, Ivan brings out the best from these amorous, adorable, horny adolescents. Enjoy teens, anal, and (yeah, right) ... princesses!
Princesses tend to be waited on hand and foot—in this case it is by mouth and dick, and all find special attention given to their ass. Plenty of side clips, or BTS, are tossed in between scenes, like showing the real first time d.p. warm-up given to Dakoda Brookes prior to her scene, anal-prep instruction to new-to-enemas Lena Mendez, and more.
These before, during and after breaks in the action justify and enhance the overall viewing experience of these young lovelies getting cocks rammed up their backdoor, bringing the tierra-wearing princesses back down to earth. Cudos to fiery redhead Megan Murray and her joyful, energetic Scottish sex drive—her fondness for spunk in this, her second anal scene, is only overshadowed by her utter, wide-eyed, smiling delight when receiving a mouthful at the messy finish.

TALLINN, Estonia (March 12, 2013)--An Estonian man returned a library book 69 years late, and said a World War II aerial bombing that damaged the library was partly to blame for the late return.
The man, who's in his mid-80s, returned the book along with an apology and an offer to pay a late fee last week to the Tallinn Central Library, Ivika Turkson said.
The book was checked out on March 7, 1944, while Estonia was occupied by Nazi Germany.
Turkson said Tuesday that the library waived any penalty for the late return of the tome, which still contained the original emblem and serial number, allowing librarians to identify it.
It was not immediately clear why the man waited so long to return the book, a work of fiction by Estonian author Eduard Vilde.

WestLB, the German bank, is in talks to sell Mid Kent Water to Macquarie of Australia, clearing the decks for a £1bn-plus bid for Anglian Water Group within weeks.
The disposal of Mid Kent, which WestLB bought for £106m two years ago, is seen as crucial in the bank's campaign to persuade the competition authorities to allow its bid for AWG to go-ahead.
The Telegraph revealed last month that Robin Saunders, the managing director of WestLB's Principal Finance Group, had approached AWG with a tentative £900m or 510p-a-share offer but had been rebuffed by Peter Hickson, the water group's chairman.
There is speculation WestLB is prepared to raise its bid to 650p, which would value AWG at more than £1bn. The water group's shares are currently 517.5p.
AWG has so far dismissed WestLB's overtures and refused to provide further information to Saunders. However, although Saunders has said in the past that she is prepared to make a hostile offer, she is keen to have Hickson's endorsement and to keep him on board should the bid succeed.
Hickson is expected to announce a number of disposals shortly as part of a campaign to persuade shareholders that an independent AWG can deliver value.
Separately it has emerged that Terra Firma, the private equity firm run by Guy Hands, is among the bidders for Northumbrian Water, which is being sold by Suez of France.
Northumbrian, in which Warren Buffett's investment company Berkshire Hathaway is also thought to be interested, is being auctioned on behalf of Suez by Morgan Stanley.
