Apologies. I was wondering, though considering the origins of your dog Cabal I might be incorrect in my thought, if you knew of anyone who breeds White German Shepherd Dogs, or Alsatians as you referred to them in your post? My specific inquire is because I am inclined towards a German Shepherd Dog, while my girlfriend would prefer a white dog of some kind. I didn't realize there was a white breed of the dog, nor that they were recognized enough to be bred purposely. In either case, I would be quite glad of your opinion on the matter as an owner of said breed, and if you do happen to have any knowledge as to where to find a Breeder, I would be most thankful.

Extractions: Home Ex Libris Authors : George MacDonald Fraser back in a flash Have you seen our weblog or our monthly book review? Fraser is best known for his Flashman Papers series, which takes place in the middle of the 19th century. The books pretend to be the memoirs of one Harry Flashman. Flashman was the school bully in a book entitled Tom Brown's School Days that book records that he was expelled from Rugby School for drunkeness. Fraser feigns that he was a real person, and carries his career forward from that time. I'm almost embarassed to recommend these books; Harry Flashman is a bounder, a coward, a cad, a man of nasty habits and no principle except "Harry first!" He joins the British Army, and by lying, cheating, licking boots, and being in the right (or wrong) place every time manages to participate in many of the great events of the 19th century. He was at the Charge of the Light Brigade, and had very insulting things to say about his commanding officers (but not to their faces). He was involved in the Sepoy Mutiny in India. He helped sack the Summer Palace in China. He was at Little Bighorn with General Custer. He was at Harper's Ferry with John Brown. He knew Otto von Bismarck when he was nobody, and regretted it. He was (much against his will) supercargo on a slave ship and brother-in-law to Geronimo. He fought in the American Civil War...on both sides (although that book hasn't been written yet). Fraser embroiders the facts, obviously, but uses footnotes to clue us in on where he's telling the truth and where he's stretching italways maintaining the illusion that he's just the editor of Flashman's memoirs. Some of the volumes in the series are

Extractions: Lottorobics Technorati Author George MacDonald Fraser Dies I've never heard of the Flashman series of novels by George MacDonald Fraser, but the description that has accompanied his obituary today has my curiosity sparked: He wrote the first novel of the Flashman Papers in 1969 after he quit as assistant editor of the Glasgow Herald The book imagines what happened after Flashman the bully in Thomas Hughes's Tom Brown's Schooldays was expelled from Rugby for drunkenness. Eleven more novels were to follow in the series, during which Flashman the most lily-livered hero in Victorian England - fornicates and brawls his way round the empire, provides Abraham Lincoln with his "you can't fool all the people all the time" quotation, and accidentally starts the charge of the Light Brigade. books link Make a Comment on This Entry Comments The Flashman novels, and pretty much everything Fraser has ever written, are absolutely amazing. Thoroughly entertaining in every way. Flashman goes everywhere, does everything, and meets everybody. They're very well done, a joy to read and reread.

Extractions: Pulp fiction can be enjoyed even if the believability factor is off, but there was no such issue whatsoever with this book, and especially Angel Dare. I believed her candor and honesty. I believed her well-adjusted attitude about the porn business. And I believed her transformation into an ass-kicking heroine forced to make brutal choices time and time again. MONEY SHOT is entertaining and all that neo-pulp should be, but its ring of authenticity also makes it quite a bit more than that. Geoffrey Household: Rogue Male (New York Review Books Classics) I'm not sure why it took me so long to get around to this obvious thriller classic, but now that I have I know I will be rereading it every so often. This slim, taut novel has more suspense, more action and more terror than many books triple the length, and the philosophical meditations are subtle but forceful. You really can't be a thriller reader or writer without including this book in your diet. Looking for the Archives?

E-Mail Big George interviews George MacDonald Fraser on Tuesday 19/10/99 The interview was scheduled to begin at 11.30 am The trouble was, the train I'd caught in good time, arrived 100 yards outside of Euston Station at 10.57 am - but it didn't pull in until quarter past. No time to call the PR girl on her mobile (which was switched off anyway), just straight down to the tube station to wait three minutes for the connecting train to arrive (three northern line minutes equals seven earth minutes). Then change at Tottenham Court Road for the Central Line (along which most of the BBC's principle London buildings are situated) and out at Lancaster Gate to get a cab for the short jaunt to the Harrington Hall Hotel, situated just off Gloucester Place. "Nah mate, the 'arrington 'all 'otel is orf Gloucester Road" the cabbie informed me, which is on the other side of Hyde Park! So, I was already late and in a different borough from the Hotel. But, by the grace of God, blind panic and a nifty cabbie I was only 15 minutes late for my meeting with George MacDonald Fraser We'd met the day before at Hatchards where he was signing copies of the latest packet of the Flashman Papers: Flashman and the Tiger, in Hardback - published by Harper Collins, price £16.99, or ten bob from an Internet site; based in Paraguay (to whom you entrust your credit card details and a true belief in Atlantic postage)

Friday, 4 January 2008 It needed only a few moments exposure to one of his reminiscing public performances to establish that George MacDonald Fraser had led quite a life. His experiences included being held upside down by his heels, while strafed by Japanese sniper fire, as he foraged for water during the Burma Campaign of the Second World War, basking in the admiration of Charlie Chaplin and worrying about whether Burt Lancaster disliked his film scripts. Posterity, on the other hand, will remember him for a single achievement. This was the creation, or rather the re-creation, of Harry Flashman, originally the villain of Thomas Hughes's Victorian morality tale Tom Brown's Schooldays (1857), but remodelled, under MacDonald Fraser's expert grasp, into the star of a dozen books that changed the face of British historical fiction.

Extractions: The novelist George MacDonald Fraser, author of the Flashman adventure stories, has died aged 82, his publisher has said. The popular books saw womanising anti-hero Sir Harry Flashman, fight his way around the British Empire. MacDonald Fraser, who was appointed an OBE in 1999, also wrote the screenplay for James Bond film Octopussy. The Carlisle-born journalist turned author, who lived on the Isle of Man, had fought cancer for several years. He was married and had three children. MacDonald Fraser served as a soldier in Burma and India during World War II and later rose to be deputy editor of the Glasgow Herald newspaper. He was still working there when the first Flashman book was published in 1969. A further 11 followed, the last in 2005.

He was 82. After working for years as a journalist, Mr. Fraser published his first novel about Flashman in 1969, passing it off as the newly discovered memoirs of a 19th-century coward, Lothario and soldier of misfortune. Flashman appeared in a dozen novels over the years, inadvertently landing at the center of almost every major military campaign of the Victorian age, from the Boxer Rebellion in China to the Indian Mutiny, the Charge of the Light Brigade, the siege of Khartoum, the Mexican Revolution and the Battle of Little Big Horn.

http://www.moonbattery.com/archives/2008/01/george_macdonal.html

Extractions: British author George MacDonald Fraser laments the tragic decline of his country into moonbattery: That PC [political correctness] should have become acceptable in Britain is a glaring symptom of the country's decline. No generation has seen their country so altered, so turned upside down, as children like me born in the 20 years between the two world wars. In our adult lives Britain's entire national spirit, its philosophy, values and standards, have changed beyond belief. Probably no country on earth has experienced such a revolution in thought and outlook and behaviour in so short a space. The United Kingdom has begun to look more like a Third World country, shabby, littered, ugly, run down, without purpose or direction, misruled by a typical Third World government, corrupt, incompetent and undemocratic. We still had liberty beyond modern understanding because we had other freedoms, the really important ones, that are denied to the youth of today. We did not know the stifling tyranny of a liberal establishment, determined to impose its views, and beginning to resemble George Orwell's Ministry of Truth.

Extractions: Stepping out of the box to look at events. Read More Posts On ParaPundit 2008 January 06 Sunday George MacDonald Fraser On Political Correctness Successful British novelist and screenplay writer George MacDonald Fraser (Flashman, Octopussy, The Three Musketeers) has recently died of cancer at age 82. He wrote a final essay on the evils of political correctness and Fraser argues that the politically correct have taken freedom of speech from themselves and the rest of us. It's the present generation with their permissive society, their anything-goes philosophy, and their generally laid-back, inyerface attitude I feel sorry for. They regard themselves as a completely liberated society when in fact they are less free than any generation since the Middle Ages. Indeed, there may never have been such an enslaved generation, in thrall to hang-ups, taboos, restrictions and oppressions unknown to their ancestors (to say nothing of being neck-deep in debt, thanks to a moneylender's economy). Regarding the moneylender's economy: Indebtedness used to be considered a thing to avoid and minimize. Now liberal politicians argue that the poor and the blacks can't be discriminated against in access to credit. If such discrimination existed it did people a favor and prevented debacles like the sub-prime mortgage crisis. Today the ability to be irresponsible in one's personal economic affairs is better protected than the right to speak one's mind.
