The New York Times Book Review
House of the Huntedby Mark Mills
Mark Mills, bestselling author of Amagansett, The Savage Garden, and The Information Officer, is renowned for blending riveting history, rich atmosphere, and thrilling suspense. Now, in House of the Hunted, Mills deftly unfolds a story of betrayal, love, and the inescapable pull of the past as an ex-spy finds himself drawn back into his treacherous former life.
Côte d'Azur, France, 1935: As Europe moves inexorably toward war, Tom Nash feels pleasantly removed, pursuing a quiet writing career on an idyllic stretch of the French Riveria. A former intelligence operative for the British government, Tom now finds refuge among the lively seaside community of expats and artists, hoping to put the worst deeds from his job—and memories of the woman he once loved—far behind him. But Tom's peaceful existence is shattered when an unknown hit man tries to kill him in his sleep. Tom is sure that somebody knows his secrets, and that this attempt on his life won't be the last.
Relying on his instincts for self-preservation, Tom suspects everyone of double-dealing, even people he considers his friends: the Russian art dealers from Paris, the exiled German dissidents, even his former boss and closest confidant. And as he plunges further into his haunted past, Tom feels himself turning into the person he used to be—a dangerous man, capable of anything.
Combining vividly drawn characters and gripping acts of espionage, House of the Hunted is a superbly crafted novel by an exceptional and versatile storyteller.

Read an Excerpt
Petrograd, Russia. January 1919.
The moment the guard called her name she felt the weight of the other women's eyes upon her.
It didn't make sense, didn't fit with the grim clock that regulated their lives. Too late in the day for an interrogation, the usual hour of execution was still some way off.
"Irina Bibikov," snapped the guard once more, his silhouette black against the open door of the darkened cell.
She was hunched on her pallet bed, her back against the wall, her knees pulled tight to her chest for warmth, as tight as her new belly would permit. Unwinding, she rose awkwardly to her feet, her palm pressed to the damp stonework for support.
The guard stepped away from the door. She knew better than to meet his gaze as she passed by him and out into the corridor.
Blinking back the ice-white light from the bare electric bulb, she briefly heard the murmur of prayers on her behalf before the guard pulled the steel door shut behind them.
Tom fought the urge to hurry ahead. Nothing to arouse suspicion, he told himself. His papers, though false, were in good order, good enough to pass close scrutiny. He knew this because he'd been stopped by a Cheka patrol earlier that day while crossing Souvorov Square.
There had been two of them, small men in shapeless greatcoats that reached almost to their ankles, and they had enjoyed their authority over Yegor Sidorenko. The name was Ukrainian, to account for the faint but undisguisable hitch in Tom's accent. He had called them "Comrade"; they had called him "Ukrainian dog" before sending him on his way. More than a year had passed since the Bolshevik coup, but evidently the spirit of brotherhood so widely trumpeted by Lenin, Zinoviev and the others had yet to reach the ears of their secret police. So much for lofty ideals. So much for the Revolution.
Tom knew that he couldn't bank on being quite so lucky if stopped again, but only as he drew level with no. 2 Gorokhovaya did it occur to him that he might actually find himself face-to-face with the same two Chekists as they entered or left their headquarters.
There were patrols coming and going, passing beneath the high, arched gateway punched into the drab façade. Beyond lay the central courtyard, where the executions took place, where the bodies were loaded into the back of trucks, their next stop, their terminus, some nameless hole hacked out of the iron-hard ground beyond the city limits.
At least the sharp north wind sluicing the streets of the Russian capital permitted him to draw his scarf up over his nose, all but concealing his face. As he did so, he cast a furtive glance through the archway, past the sentries shivering at their posts.
What was he looking for? Signs of unusual activity, some indication that the plan had already been compromised. He saw nothing of note, just a courtyard shrouded in the gathering gloom, and the dim outlines of men and vehicles.
Trudging on past through the deep snow, Tom silently cursed the fact that Irina hadn't been transferred by now to one of the state prisons, Shpalernaya or Deriabinskaya, where security was considerably more lax and bribery endemic. Instead, his only option had been to try to spring her from the beast's lair.
In spite of all the planning, all the precautions, it suddenly seemed too much to hope for, and that unwelcome thought chilled him, far more than the raw wind that slammed into him at the end of the street. He bore left, hugging the shadows.
He couldn't quite see St. Isaac's Cathedral up ahead but he could sense its brooding presence in the darkness.
It was a cellar room, small and all but empty. There were some mops poking from their pails in one corner and a few large cans of cleaning fluid stacked up in another, but Irina's eye was drawn to the wooden stool standing alone in the middle of the room. On it were some clothes, neatly folded, with two pieces of paper resting on top.
One was a visitor's pass made out to Anna Constantinov. On the second was scrawled St. Isaac's Cathedral. The words were in English, and she recognized the handwriting.
"Quick," said the guard. He was the youngest of the three who oversaw the female prisoners, not much more than a boy, his mustache a tragic overture to manhood. "Get changed."
Irina stared at the slip of paper in her hand, not quite believing that it had happened, trying to picture what Tom must have put himself through, the dangers he had faced, the border crossing from Finland . . .
It was almost inconceivable.
"Hurry," hissed the guard.
His ear was pressed to the door, but his eyes remained fixed on her--eager young eyes, hoping for a glimpse of female flesh.
She was happy to oblige. It might provide some scrap of comfort at the end of his short life. She wondered how much money he'd been promised. More than enough to see him safely away, out of the country. To stay would mean certain death before a firing squad. She looked down at her belly, the still unfamiliar bow, the tautness of the pale skin around her navel.
Dressed now, her soiled clothes heaped on the floor at her feet, she wrapped the shawl around her head and turned to the guard.
"I'll get rid of that," he said, taking the piece of paper from her.
Young, yet sensible. It wouldn't be wise to have details of the rendezvous about her person if she was stopped while trying to leave.
"Good luck," he said.
"You too."
They parted company wordlessly in the corridor outside, the guard pointing out her route before vanishing into the darkened bowels of the building.
Irina passed by the steps leading up to the interrogation rooms, silent at this hour, making for the stone staircase at the end of the corridor.
She was curious to see how far she would get.
On the floor above, she ran a short gauntlet of offices flanking a corridor before finding herself in the main lobby. There was a guard on duty at the big desk by the doors, bent over some paperwork. When she stopped to show her pass he waved her on, almost irritably, and she wondered if he too was in on it.
Outside in the gloomy courtyard, no one paid her a blind bit of notice, not the troops huddled around the brazier, not the officer berating the two mechanics poking around in the engine of a canvas-covered truck.
Was it really that simple? A mere slip of paper?
There were still the sentries at the main gate to get past, but she could see freedom looming ever larger beyond the tall archway as she approached. A quick glance over her shoulder confirmed that she wasn't being followed.
One of the sentries unshouldered his rifle, keeping a close watch on her while the other checked her pass against a ledger in the small cubbyhole that served as their guardhouse. A bitter blast whistled through the archway, stinging her eyes. Then suddenly everything was in order. The pass disappeared into a drawer. Anna Constantinov was free to go.
How had Tom done it? No one had really expected him to try, let alone pull it off, least of all her. He had outwitted them all and she knew what she should now do, but she found herself thrusting her hands deep into her pockets and setting off up the street. She needed time to think, to work it through in her head.
She had taken no more than a dozen tentative steps along the icy pavement when she heard the teasing drawl of a familiar voice behind her.
"Going somewhere, Irina?" it said in Russian.
Tom lit another candle, an excuse to stretch his legs and warm his fingers over the bank of flickering flames.
He had spent almost an hour in the Alexander Nevsky Chapel, most of it on his knees, head bowed in a show of prayer. A pew would have been nice, a stool, anything, but seating had never figured large in the thinking of the Russian Orthodox Church. It allowed them to cram the people in. Fourteen thousand souls could fit into St. Isaac's Cathedral; at least, that's what Irina had told him when she had first taken him there, soon after his arrival in Petrograd, his raven-haired tour guide skipping her classes at the Conservatoire to show him some of the sights.
It had been a bright June morning, the sunlight flashing off the vast gilded dome and laying bare the fussy opulence of the interior: the intricate patterning of the marble floor, the steps of polished jasper, the columns of green malachite and blue lazurite, the walls inlaid with porphyry and gemstones, and the gilded stucco and statues wherever you turned. A blaze of fragmented color, had been Tom's first impression, like stepping inside a child's kaleidoscope.
He had made the right noises, but Irina had read his thoughts, sensed his reservations.
His church, the church of his youth, was a humble ivy-tangled affair in a village on the outskirts of Norwich, where the damp rose in waves around the bare plaster walls, and where Mr. Higginbotham, the churchwarden, had once threatened to resign his post because the new altar frontal sported an embroidered hem. Tom's father had seen that the offending article was returned to Wippell's, who had promptly dispatched a suitably chaste replacement.
"Your father is a priest?" Irina had asked.
"A vicar."
"Is there a difference?"
"I suppose not. Only I've never heard my father refer to himself as a priest."
"I'm surprised," Irina had said, tilting her head at him.
"What, I give off an unholy glow?"
It was the first time he had seen her laugh, and he could still recall how his heart had soared at the sound of it, and at the sight of the curious new look in her eyes that seemed to hold the promise of something more than mere acquaintance. He hadn't been wrong. The invitation to dinner at her uncle Vladimir's dacha out on the islands had followed a few days later. It was one of many little wooden villas huddled along the shore, with wide, open verandas on all sides and a rambling garden running down to the Neva. It was also theirs for the weekend. Vladimir, a lawyer, had been held back in Moscow on urgent business at the last moment, but they were to make themselves at home. They did just that, helping themselves to a bottle of white Burgundy from his cellar and taking his fishing rod to the end of the stumpy jetty, where Irina pulled their supper from the river--four perch, which they gutted then grilled over a fire at the water's edge. It was a warm evening, humid and close, and the sounds that came to their ears seemed muted by the heavy air: the distant whistle of a passenger steamer, the bells of a church on the mainland, the bark of a neighbor's dog, a snatch of song from a passing barge. They sat out there for hours, bathed in the strange, eerie radiance of the long northern night, talking effortlessly of their lives and the upheavals of recent times. And well after midnight, when tiredness finally began to get the better of them, Irina showed him to his bedroom, only to return a short while later and slip silently between the sheets. They didn't make love, not that first time out at the dacha; they held each other close and they fell asleep to the sound of the polecats scampering about inside the wooden walls and in the roof over their heads.
How had they gone from that to this in little more than six months?
He knew the answer, of course. A few weeks after that dreamlike introduction to the islands, Czar Nicholas and the imperial family had been murdered, slain by the Bolsheviks (in the basement of a house in Ekaterinburg, if the intelligence report that had recently passed through Tom's hands in Helsinki was to be believed). The real turning point, though, had been the attempt on Lenin's life at the end of August--two bullets, one to the chest, one to the neck--as the leader of the Bolsheviks was leaving a rally in Moscow. No one had expected Lenin to survive, but even before it became clear that he would, the Red Terror had been unleashed: a brutal crackdown intended to turn back the rising tide of anti-Bolshevism in the country.
Suspecting British involvement in the assassination plot, the Cheka had stormed the embassy in Petrograd. It was a Saturday, and Tom hadn't been in the building at the time, but Yuri, the porter, had been. It was Yuri who had searched Tom out at the English Club and described to him the death of Captain Cromie, chief of the Naval Intelligence Department, dispatched with a bullet to the back of the skull after a fierce firefight on the main staircase. Tom's boss, Bruce Lockhart, head of the special British diplomatic mission to Russia, had been taken into custody, and the Cheka had issued a warrant for Tom's arrest.
Yuri had been accompanied by a tall and taciturn Finn assigned to spirit Tom away that same evening. In spite of Tom's protestations, the Finn had not allowed him to see Irina before leaving. Evil was in the air. And besides, there was no time. The last train from Okhta station left at seven o'clock.
Tom's summer in the Russian capital had ended abruptly with that journey northward: by rail to Grusino in a boxcar crammed with silent refugees, then a sapping foot march through the forests and bogs, dodging the patrols, tormented every weary step of the way by thoughts of the woman he had been forced to leave behind. Even when they had slipped past the border post on their bellies into Finland and freedom he had experienced no sense of elation.
The dread prospect of repeating that same perilous journey--not only in the dead of winter, but with Irina in tow--brought Tom out of his reverie.
His eyes darted to the bag of clothes he had secreted in the corner of the chapel, just beyond the glow of the candles. He couldn't make it out in the shadows, but he sensed that it was there, just as he sensed the presence of someone standing behind him.
His head snapped around expectantly.
It wasn't Irina; it was a young priest, not much older than Tom, and yet there was something haggard and careworn about him.
"If He hasn't heard you by now, then I doubt He's listening."
Tom returned the faint smile, but said nothing.
"Bad times."
"Yes, Father."
"Vade in pacem," the priest said softly before retiring into the gloom shrouding the main body of the cathedral.

Enjoyed this book very much. I have read all of Mark Mills's books thru the years and look forward to any new ones that he writes. Hope he follows up on this book so we can find out what happens to these characters. Loved the locale and descriptions of the scenery. Thought it was a valuable part of the book. The time between the world wars must have had a tenuous feel to it and the characters portray that very well. I want to know what happens to Tom Nash and hope that he finds happiness after all that has happened to him.
As a suspense novel I felt this was a bit of a light weight. The emphasis seemed to be more on setting the scene than in delivering the action. The setting of the southern coast of France is skillfully described, but plays a bigger part in the book than the plot which is slow to develop, but does finish well. This book was provided for review by the well read folks at Library Thing and Random House.
I have read a lot of this genre of books over the years. This one is better than most, although the plot is pretty simple. The main character thinks he has left his past behind, but it comes back to haunt him. All pretty well used and predictable. I thought there was a chance at some interesting interaction with the determined police inspector, but before we got to anything interesting, a higher power prevailed.
It took a lot of effort to finish this.
Very well written. Good amount of suspense. Nicely woven plot with a good balance among local color, a pre-WII political setting, and action.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

I agree, Maple.
I wish people would get over this dance completely. I think people ask for it every week, it's getting too repetitive.
Nothing wrong with users suggesting things, but this suggestion to be specific is something we'll never see.

This happens with most items. When only a few people have it, everyone wants it. When everyone has it, it's not that important anymore.

Mini Tamiya Connector Pack, Female
This connector, a smaller version of the female Tamiya connector, is commonly used with battery packs for RC applications. The connector is keyed so that power cannot be reversed, and a latch secures the connection so that it will not become disconnected. You can use a crimping tool to attach these connectors to your own 16- to 20-AWG wires. This pack contains enough housings and crimp pins (including two spare pins) for 3 female connectors.

Coming Down
It was the morning after her audition. Though it had gone well, and Charlie had returned home feeling as light as a feather and sure that she was going to make it into the troupe (her teachers had been startled by the choreography and though they had claimed to need time to consider, she had seen their decision in their eyes), she was in disgrace. Her parents were furious that she had disobeyed them.
"You know you don't have time to join some little dance troupe and spend all your time at training, getting all hot and sweaty and ruining your clothes!" her mother fretted, as the young dancer calmly examined her new blisters, no doubt a product of the week's intensive practice.
Her father had different concerns, though they rested in her mother's mind also. "Where are we meant to find the money for so many classes? We don't have an endless supply of cash, you know!" But Charlie was not concerned about that, either, because she had a plan.
"Firstly, the troupe earns money with every performance. I can't say exactly, but I believe it's around thirty pounds each, for a couple of hours work. Not bad, I'd say." Seeing that they were about to object, she added, "And anyway, I'm going to get a job." But further than that, she refused to say.
When she returned home from school with a surprisingly light load of homework, there was an email waiting for her on the computer. It was from Ben, saying that she had been accepted into the troupe, and informing her of the training times. He also explained that in addition to the two sessions on a Friday and a Saturday respectively, each two hours long, she would be expected to attend her normal three classes. The prices were escalating.
From there, Charlie opened a word document and began composing the notice which she intended to place in the local newspaper. Beginner flute lessons. Absolute beginners to grade 5 taught by young teacher in search of experience. Extremely competitive prices - £5 per half hour. Instruments require prior to first lesson -- one available to hire. Below that, it listed her telephone number and email address.
If she could even manage to get six pupils, Charlie calculated, that would be enough to fund around half of her dance classes. She would be earning £30 a week. That wasn't too bad, was it?
Surprisingly enough -- and given the current economic situation, she had been expecting far few -- she was contacted no fewer than nine times. Six of these were the parents of young children, around eight years old, who could not afford normal lessons and yet wanted their precious daughters and sons to have a musical education. The other three were adults who had never had a chance to start in their youth.
It had to be said that some of these potential pupils were a little put out to discover that she was still at school, but when she explained that she was well up to grade seven standard and needed the experience as a part of her music qualifications, they grudgingly accepted the fact that this was still an absolute bargain. Her Saturday job was made up. £45 each week for four and a half hours work: not bad at all.
"You really don't have time for this," her parents said in despair. "Oh, Charlie, if you keep trying to do so much you'll spontaneously combust!" That was their favourite phrase in situations like this. But the promise of money mollified them, as they really had been wondering if the expense of classes would bankrupt them.
"I'll pay you forty pounds a week," Charlie decided. "The other five pounds I will keep and I'll put it into my bank. You needn't give me any pocket money now." The forty pounds, she reasoned, would cover all but about ten pounds of the weekly dance classes cost, and forty pounds a month was not so much for her parents to pay. They agreed to the deal.
The next day, her time with the Daoine Sidhe began.

Having addressed Neil's introductory remarks, this post starts to address his arguments concerning the preface of Acts.
Neil begins by quoting only the preface of Acts and dismissing the preface to Luke. Since the overwhelming opinion of scholars, supported by good reason and argument, is that Luke-Acts is a two-part work, with Acts relating back to Luke and its preface, there is no good reason to ignore Luke's preface. So here I recite both prefaces.
Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word, it seemed fitting for me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you in consecutive order, most excellent Theophilus; so that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been taught.
Luke 1:1.
The first account I composed, Theophilus, about all that Jesus began to do and teach, until the day when He was taken up to heaven, after He had by the Holy Spirit given orders to the apostles whom He had chosen To these He also presented Himself alive after His suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking of the things concerning the kingdom of God.
Acts 1:1.
Most people reading these prefaces, including most scholars knowledgeable on the subject, conclude that the author is telling us that he intends to write history. As Professor Gasque notes, "the majority of interpreters would [conclude] that his preface indicates he has historical pretensions." W. Ward Gasque, "A Fruitful Field, Recent Study of the Acts of the Apostles," Interpretations 42.04 (1998), pages 119.
Neil, of course, has already dismissed nearly all of academia except Pervo and a few others. But on what basis does he claim that the above prefaces do not support the view that Luke-Acts is within the genre of ancient historiography? I will attempt to understand his points as best I can, but in this instance they are a bit rambling and unorganized. So I will revise my response if Neil further clarifies his points.
Initially, I want to clarify two points. First, no one argues that Luke-Acts is history simply because it has prefaces. It is because of the type of prefaces it has and what they say that scholars take them as important evidence of genre. Second, Neil seems to caricature the treatment of the prefaces by others, implying that they are taken as irrefutable evidence of genre. Surely even Neil can agree that the author's stated purpose for writing is an important piece of evidence in understanding the purpose of his writing. If not, then I suspect nothing could convince him. But to say that a preface is an important indicia of genre is not to say that other factors are irrelevant.
The core of Neil's case appears to be some one liners from Pervo without citation, argument, or support, to which is added a note about Loveday Alexander's treatment of the prefaces. As for Pervo, I have addressed his arguments in depth in my article on Acts (here). I also have written about a review by Marion Soards that provides a good glimpse into the reasons for the (lack of) impact Pervo's theory has had on the academic view of Luke-Acts' genre. I will address Neil's one liners and then address his argument regarding Loveday Alexander. A more detailed discussion of the various examples of prefaces from ancient literature will occur in another post.
1. Neil and Pervo think it problematic that the preface in Acts is related to the preface in Luke. But Neil explicitly declines to discuss why. Because Neil has declined to make a case, I feel little obligation to respond to him on this point. To the extent he is trying to saddle any historical difficulties in Luke's gospel on Acts, I would note that no ancient history, no matter how firmly fixed in the genre, is without historical difficulties.
2. Neil argues that the similarities of the prefaces in Luke-Acts to those in Josephus means "no more than that they conform to late first-century c.e. historical style." I am not sure what to make of this point. If Luke-Acts' prefaces are written in a historical style, surely that is much of the point? It demonstrates that the author intended to convey the idea that he was writing history.
3. Neil argues that prefaces "were highly conventional, and probably taught in school. Their claims could be parodied." The fact that prefaces were highly conventional actually is evidence for taking their style and statements seriously as indicating authorial intent. That they "could" be parodied is hardly a persuasive point. Nor is it relevant. Neil does not claim that Luke-Acts is a parody, he claims it is an ancient romance novel. To get an idea of how a parody works, you can read Lucian's A True Story. They are not subtle and are not attempts to pass off their works as authentic.
4. Neil argues that prefaces "were not the preserve of historians. Novelists could use them to create verisimilitude." No one disputes that prefaces were used by other genres. And in those other genres, the prologue usually indicates what genre will follow, just as it does in Luke-Acts. Neil's claim that ancient novelists could use a preface to "create verisimilitude" needs clarification and examples. Does he mean to say that ancient novelists often used prefaces that sounded like ancient historiography so as to pass their works off as something other than a novel? Pervo makes the same claim in his book and provides a footnote supposedly supporting this point. I checked it expecting to find examples of ancient novels that had prefaces that pretended to be writing historiography. I found none. The footnote simply refers the reader to a later part of his book that also provides no such examples.
5. Neil latches on to an article that very briefly mentions Loveday Alexander's theory that the preface to Luke is indicative of ancient scientific treatises rather than ancient historiography. Neil quotes one of only two sentences from the article mentioning Alexander. Has he read anything by Alexander? I am unsure.
In any event, Alexander admits that her work focuses more on style rather than content. Even so, the distance she finds between Luke-Acts and prefaces in ancient historiography are in large part the result of her focus on Thucydides; said focus painting a distorted picture of the historiography genre. As recently observed by Sean A. Adams, "[w]ith her specific focus on Thucydides as the archetypal historiographer, she does not realize that Thucydides usually does not fall near the centerline of the spectrum, but is towards the extremes." "Luke's Preface and its Relationship to Greek Historiography: A Response to Loveday Alexander," JGRCh.J 3 (2006), 190.
When compared to the broader spectrum of ancient historiography, Luke's preface falls very much within it. For example, an important reason underlying Alexander's conclusion that the preface in Luke is not that of ancient historiography is that it is too short. While it is true that Thucydides had a twenty-three chapter preface, such a comparison is "misrepresenting the typical preface lengthy for a Greek historian." Adams, op. cit., page 182. Not only is Thucydides work itself much longer than Luke-Acts, but his preface is also much longer than is typical of ancient historiography. When Luke's preface is compared with the likes of Diodorus, Herodotus, Josephus, Plutarch, Polybius, and Xenephon, "the size of the preface in relation to the length of the work is comparable and well within the ratio of other Greek historians." Id. at 183. The same article provides good discussions of how the theme, style, dedication, and reference to sources in Luke's preface fit within the spectrum of prefaces to ancient works of historiography.
In any case, to the extent Alexander has valid points, how do they prove that Acts is an ancient romance novel? After all, Alexander does not argue that the preface is like those of ancient novels, but that it is like ancient scientific treatises, such as medical writings. Obviously, as Alexander admits, Luke-Acts is not an ancient medical treatise. So what could be going on? Perhaps Luke-Acts was written by someone influenced by such a genre. As Professor Huffman asks, "What would a preface look like if someone from the intermediate sociocultural stratum (who also worked within the scientific tradition and was familiar with its literature) wanted to write historiography?" Douglas F. Huffman, "Review," Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society, 40.1 (1997). Or, one could ask, what would a preface look like if an educated Christian, such as a doctor, chose to write a history of this new movement? It might look like a preface stating an intent to write history but influenced in its mechanics by the author's experience with scientific treatises.
Next, we will look more closely at Neil's references to prefaces in other works of antiquity.

Ratings for Dr. Felix Brizuela
I went to several doctors. Did not help. He took the time to find out what was wrong with me when no one else would listen
He listens and has been a big help when nobody else could figure it out he did. He also is great at explaining things
Dr B Has been a God send for me. I am now able to walk again and have some normalcy to life. Before visiting him, I was seeing another dr for 10 years who was of no help to me. Thank you Dr B and STAFF for all you do. I appreciate you and would recommend you i less then a heartbeat to anybody
Dr. Brizuela is a lifesaver for legitimate pain patients. The druggies say awful things about him online because he cuts them off when he discovers that they're selling their pills. It's petty revenge, nothing more. Those of us who are NOT druggies and who are actually suffering from pain every day, we love the Doc. He's passionate about his work, he cares about the patient first and foremost, and he does everything he can to work with everyone's unique situation. I'm so thankful that we found him.
I also was diagnosed with CIDP and received ivig treatments along with long term use of prednisone thinking I was being treated properly for my issue, I refused to take the opanea's, by no means am I a junkie and was following my dr order for his diagnosis which I know today was a false diagnose and much of my issues now come from the long term use of prednisone which he claimed I required for my condition!! I'm sure he gets a nice kick back from all these ivig infusions he sets individuals up for! I would like to talk with others on here who share my experience, your welcome to email me at themoles3at gmail dot com. Good luck to all recooperating after history wrong doings. I also experienced the no answers when calling or no return call email@example.com
I agree with staff probably not taking calls, it been happening more and more and so wrong. Agree West Virginia Medical Board of Osteopathic needs to investigate but they will protect this Doctor and Dr. Brizuela needs to be investigate and State of West Virginia needs to take action ASAP.... He making patient's worse and treating them wrong, he rude to his patient's and takes there money ( Joke ) Where is the LAW
I totally agree with the last post. Dr. Brizuela is a good doctor who trusts his patients unlike so many other doctors out their that treat individuals like they are drug seeking when they stress their painful conditions they suffer from. He does not push pain medication, he looks for answers to the problems and then he finds a solution and if that involves weaning you off your medication that is what he does. Chances are the people on here that have nothing to say but bad things about Dr. Brizuela are just those cry babies that are mad when he in fact determines that you are drug seekers and he decides to stop prescribing you medication. He tests all of his patients through urine tests and I know first hand that once a patient fails a test he immediately ceases prescribing any further medication for that patient. This is exactly how he weeds out those who overuse, underuse or flat out sell their medication for profit. There are urine tests that determine the amount of medication in your system so he is well aware if you are lying about your use. Take a real look at the problem it is not with Dr. Brizuela it is with yourself. He does not force anyone to take anything and I agree he is not put on this earth to babysit you. Be mature enough to take your medication as prescribed and there will not be any problems. Finally if you are not happy with Dr. Brizuela then stop going to him plain and simple and do not tell me that he is the only doctor in your area that takes or took Medicaid. He simply decided that because of all the cut backs it is not beneficial for him to accept that type of insurance. Get over it. I have come to find that this is very common for doctors to change the type of insurance they take.
The people calling him a pill pusher and making awful judgements about his patients based on the way they dress ought to be ashamed of themselves. Dr. B is practically the last doctor in Morgantown who doesn't throw you out the minute you mention that you have pain. He puts himself at risk to actually help people who suffer terrible pain every day. He believes them, and he doesn't cast them aside and assume that they're just junkies trying to get high. It's slanderous jerks like the people here who made it so that he had to stop accepting Medicaid patients. It's not HIS fault that your idiot son or cousin or friend decided to OD on their pain meds. He's a doctor, not a nanny. Plenty of his patients are actual pain patients who need help and have nowhere else to turn. Why do they deserve to suffer because some other people did stupid and illegal things with their medicine? Leave Dr. B alone!
He will not care about you nor treat you right... He is joke.. takes your money, lies and will definite diagnose you wrong, read his patient reviews people, local Pharmacist knows his scripts are wrong and nurses also knows this doctor is bad. Where the hospital, medical board, law. Don't go to him he will put you in harm way. There a lot patient's in danger because of Dr. Brizuela
Dr Brizuela is not a good doctor. He has left a lot of people without medication and in bad circumstances. He prescribes suboxone and just up and quit prescribing patients he has been treating for years. He sent out letters to all his suboxone patients telling them he cannot see them anymore. Where does that leave us? He collects your money and then leaves you hanging. Many pharmacies in morgantown other towns will not honor is prescriptions because they say all he does is prescribe narcotics without actually treating the problem. I feel bad for his patients. He doesn't care. He has also had a lot of problems with the local hospitals because of the way he runs his practice. Many patients are now in danger because this quack of a doctor left them hanging.

Alistair Darling, the chancellor, has launched a surprise attack on boardroom bosses who take big bonuses when they have failed to deliver an outstanding result for their company.
He warned the nation's directors and City traders - who last year awarded themselves £7bn in bonuses - that the public would be likely to get fed up with them if they could not justify the increase.
"People get fed up if they see others getting great big bonuses and they can't actually see what they did. It can be extremely frustrating," Darling said in an interview with the Daily Telegraph.
"There's absolutely nothing wrong with giving somebody a reward, but at the present time when people are going through these difficulties, that's something that boards have got to look at. Can you say hand on heart this is the right thing to do? If you can't justify it to your neighbour you should think again."
The country is facing an economic slowdown with higher energy bills and house prices starting to fall in some areas. Stock markets have also fallen across the world and many big companies are issuing profit warnings.
Darling acknowledged in the interview that Britain was facing a "difficult year" and said he expected house prices to "flatten". He suggested that in these circumstances, boardroom income needs to be seen to be deserved. His comments follow concessions on proposed changes to capital gains tax and taxation of non-domiciled workers after business protests.
George Osborne, the shadow chancellor, yesterday promised he would stick to Labour spending plans for two years after a 2009 election.

ITV received a major boost from the Office of Fair Trading yesterday after it recommended a review of the burdensome rules that restrict the amount the commercial broadcaster can charge advertisers.
The OFT has advised the Competition Commission to "consider changes" to ITV's Contract Rights Renewal (CRR) Undertakings, which were imposed to address concerns that ITV would abuse its dominant position after the broadcasting giant was created through the merger of Carlton and Granada in 2003. CRR allowed advertisers and media buyers to keep their pre-merger contracts and also to cut the amount they pay ITV if its audience viewing levels fall. Shares in ITV rose by 1.75p, or 4.7 per cent, to 38.75p yesterday.
ITV – which has been hit hard by the advertising downturn and suffered losses of £2.73bn last year – has been lobbying for an overhaul of CRR for about two years, arguing that it led to underinvestment in high-quality, diverse programming that advertisers and viewers value.
John Fingleton, the OFT chief executive, said: "Changes in ITV's market position and programme delivery since CRR was introduced in 2003 mean it is now time to take another look at it. We recommend retaining some protection for advertisers and media buyers so that all parties have an equal playing field in what are challenging economic circumstances."
Michael Grade, the executive chairman of ITV who said last month he will step down and become non-executive chairman, has previously called the system a "straitjacket".
The broadcaster said: "ITV welcomes the fact that the OFT has now sent its report and recommendation to the Competition Commission in its review of CRR." ITV added that it will study the OFT's full report, once it is published, and provide the Competition Commission with detailed evidence to support the case for CRR's abolition.
The OFT yesterday said that while the market share of ITV1, its core channel, has declined, it remains the only provider of "very large" commercial audiences valued by some advertisers. As a result, the detrimental effects of the merger on the advertising market have not been "eroded completely".
In January, the OFT reached a preliminary view to recommend that the Competition Commission "relaxes" ITV's CRR restrictions and launched a consultation on the rules, inviting media buyers, advertising agencies and others to submit evidence.
This month, ITV said its first-quarter revenues fell by 14 per cent to £425m and revealed it would cut its programming budget further in response to tumbling advertising.

Discovery of a new photonic crystal where light propagates through the surface without being scattered
|Since this property can be achieved even by a semiconductor, such as silicone, alone, developments of new functions are expected via integrating information processing functions achieved by the well-established semiconductor electronics and the excellent propagation property of electromagnetic waves.
|Above: Schematic of photonic crystals consisting of cylinders in a honeycomb lattice viewed from above. Photonic crystals obtained by dividing the nearest neighboring cylinders into hexagonal clusters, and widening (left) or narrowing (right) the separation between hexagonal clusters from the original honeycomb lattice (middle), while keeping the shape and size of hexagons. Below: Relationship between the wave number and frequency of the photonic crystal in each case. Here, a0 denotes the distance between the hexagonal clusters as measured from their center, and R denotes the length of one side of the hexagon.
|In recent years, active studies have been conducted on materials with topological properties where unique properties appear on surfaces of materials. Suppressions of scattering of light by defects in conventional photonic crystals is also expected in topological photonic states. However, special materials were required to create topological photonic crystals.
|These researchers discovered a new principle to realize a topological photonic crystal by merely adjusting positions of insulator or semiconductor nanorods in a honeycomb lattice, without using any complicated material or structure. When hexagonal clusters are formed by adjusting positions of clinders, electromagnetic modes carrying on spin, a feature conventionally specific to electrons, appear. As a result, it was theoretically clarified that a photonic crystal exhibits topological properties when the separation between hexagonal clusters is narrowed from that of the honeycomb lattice.
|Since the nanorods can be formed by silicone, developments of new functions and devices are expected through integration with existing silicon-based electronics.

I do not know what ought to be given him. nor do I know what are the common wages of domesticks there, I presume not higher than they ask here, for they are very extravagant, I cannot Say to you any thing with respect to arrangments, as I do not learn what has been done,
This day we have a Hurricane of a wind and as cold as Jan,ry Boston has sufferd by fire twice within a fortnight, 3 Roap walks and 3 or four dwelling houses were burnt when I was in Town, and on Sunday morning the Barns and stables of Deacon Phillips with a dwelling House, in which mr Turner the dancing master lived were consumed,
I received with your last Letters one from mrs Washington, and the one to you, from the President which I value very highly as a testimony to the worth and services of our dean son, [] from him whom I cannot Suspect of flattery,
When you write to me, or to others omit the word Free and only put J Adams. this was the custom of the president, and do not leave any of my Letters in the way of your Secretary,

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
If you are a convicted felon can you travel outside of the U.S., specifically to Ireland? I would not think you could if you are currently on probation or parole, but after. I have been told that to Ireland you only need a passport and not a visa, but that if the U.S. grants a passport, it would then be up to Ireland to ok entry to their country after checking you against a criminal database? If so, Is that also true of other countries? Thank you very much.
You will need to consult with the consulate of each country you are interested in visiting. Canada, for example, specifically asks on its entry forms if visiting persons have any criminal conviction, and goes on to specify that even minor offenses, such as DUIs, must be disclosed.
Failure to accurately disclose the conviction prior to entering a foreign country may be a crime under that country's laws. The only accurate way to determine the answer is to ask the consulate of the country you intend to visit. The Republic of Ireland's consulate has a link with phone numbers for their offices: http://www.discoverireland.com/us/ireland-plan-your-visit/facts/Visa-Passport-and-Embassies/Ask a similar question

Washington, Dec 9 (ANI): Scientists from the University of British Columbia, Canada, have found that blue whales take in 90 times as much energy as they burn during a single dive.
Analysing the behaviour of each whale, Bob Shadwick and Jeremy Goldbogen saw that dives lasted between 3.1 and 15.2 minutes and a whale could lunge as many as 6 times during a single dive.
Goldbogen calculated the blue whales' speeds as they lunged repeatedly during each dive.
Noticing that the whales' mouths inflated almost like a parachute as they engulfed the krill, Goldbogen tracked down parachute aerodynamics expert Jean Potvin to help them build a mathematical model to calculate the forces acting on the whales as they lunged.
With Potvin on the team, they were able to calculate that the whales used between 3226 kJ of energy during each lunge. Then he calculated that the whales could consume anything from 34,776kJ up to an unprecedented 1,912,680kJ from a single mouthful of krill, providing as much as 240 times more energy as the animals used in a single lunge.
And when the team calculated the amount of energy that a whale could take on board during a dive, they found that each foraging dive could provide 90 times as much energy as they used.
"The key to this is the size factor because they can engulf such a large volume with so much food in it that it really pays off," said Shadwick. (ANI)

text: Encouraging Communication Module 9 Teachers and Parents: This module, Encouraging Communication, comes from the Positive Parenting Practices for Young Children with Autism and is the last in the series. This program was developed by the Learning Experiences - An Alternative Program for Parents and Preschoolers (LEAP). MAIN IDEAS How children communicate Why children communicate Strategies for encouraging communication Environmental strategies Incidental teaching Why Should Teachers and Families Encourage Communication in the Child Communication skills are best learned in natural every day situations rather than formalized one to one or group instruction. Because parents & siblings are the people who are with young children the most they have the most opportunity to teach language skills. The child needs to learn to communicate about the objects, people and situations that are within home, school and the family's routine. How The Child Communicates 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Whines or cries Reaches toward object Points to object Gives the object Uses gestures or sign language Shows a picture of the object Vocalizes Uses one word Uses phrases or sentences Why The Child Communicates To request – to ask another person for something To protest To comment To answer questions Offering a choice Affirming or denying (yes/no) Asking about past events Asking about concepts To ask questions – for information When and Where The Child Communicates The best time to teach communication to a child is when he/she wants or needs to communicate. Teach communication where he/she needs or wants to communicate. Responsive Strategies for Encouraging Communication How to encourage communication: 1. Watch 2. Wait 3. Follow the child's lead Mirroring Mirroring means to imitate what the child says or does. Turn Taking Turn taking means developing a pattern of conversation or behaviors in which you and the child alternate saying or doing things. Reflecting Reflecting means encouraging the child's attempts to communicate by repeating them back to him/her. Expansion Adding more words to the child's message. A child can learn new concepts or more elaborate sentence structures when his/her message is expanded. Self – Talk Self – Talk means talking about what you are doing, thinking, or feeling. Parallel Talk Parallel Talk is similar to self-talk except you describe what the child is doing, seeing, and feeling. Environmental Strategies to Encourage Communication Environmental strategies involve arranging the setting or material you and your child are using to make it more likely that the child will need or want to communicate. Forgetfulness Forgetfulness is where you purposefully forget to provide everything needed for an activity. The child will then need to use some type of communication to let you know what you forgot. Visible but unreachable For this strategy you can place an object that the child needs or wants out of his/her reach, but still within sight. Child must request the object. Violate Expectations/Sabotage When you violate expectations you do something silly i.e. put doll's shoes on the child's foot. Sabotage is used by deliberately interfering with an activity. Piece by Piece You can encourage the child to ask for each piece as you hold it back from him/her or just give a small snack (goldfish) so the child can ask for more. Incidental Teaching Incidental Teaching involves setting up the environment then following these steps to prompt the appropriate communication: a) Set up environment b) c) d) e) f) Wait 5 seconds with an expectant expression on your face If the child does not respond, ask an open-ended question Prompt the child to tell him/her what to say Repeat or rephrase the question or statement Back up to an easier prompt or question, provide assistance as needed for your child to respond and give the desired object
