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. Sincerely

Home Ex Libris Authors : George MacDonald Fraser 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

A pioneer of the Canadian Press: 1881-1955 George MacDonald: half a century of news (George was my maternal grandfather. I followed in his footsteps as a journalist, and these pages are devoted to his memory Hugh Doherty George in 1931, left, and at his desk at the Canadian Press in Montreal in 1946 The Titanic, Halifax Explosion some of his major stories George was born in England in 1881, and while he was a teenager, landed his first job on a newspaper as a printer's helper on the London Times He came to Canada in 1903 when he was 22 and was a reporter for the old Montreal Witness. In 1905 he went to the Toronto Star , and then to the Stratford, Ont. Herald , where he was city editor. He then worked for a while on the Hamilton Spectator. He returned to Montreal in 1910 as resident correspondent for the Canadian Press, Canada's co-operative news agency. CP, as it came to be known, was then just a year old. It was to be George's professional home for the next 37 years. George was the main CP staff reporter for Quebec and the rest of eastern Canada, and sometimes the eastern United States, so he travelled quite a bit. His material was used in most of the Canadian daily newspapers of the time. Among the major stories he covered in those early years were the Titanic disaster of 1912 off Newfoundland, about which he gathered information in New York City, the sinking of the passenger liner

Main January 16, 2008 George MacDonald Fraser Grieves for Great Britain 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.

ParaPundit 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.

Walking the Berkshires "Sharp, quirky, and occasionally nettlesome", Walking the Berkshires is my personal blog, an eclectic weaving of human narrative, natural history, and conservation science with the Berkshire and Litchfield Hills as both its backdrop and point of departure. I am interested in how land and people, past and present manifest in the broader landscape and social fabric of our communities. The opinions I express here are mine alone. Main January 07, 2008 Military History Carnival #10: George MacDonald Fraser Edition This 10th edition of The Military History Carnival is dedicated to the late, lamented George MacDonald Fraser, who died on January 3rd. His passing leaves a great hole in the hearts of fans of the "Bawdy Romp" genre of extremely well-written historical fiction. Fraser was a masterful storyteller and a first rate historian, as well as a veteran of service in India and Burma during WWII. His greatest literary creation was Sir Harry Flashman - himself the bully of " Tom Brown's School Days - who manages to wriggle through some of the worst military debacles of the Victorian era with the undeserved reputation as a bluff and hearty hero, rather than the shirking, womanizing bully he was underneath. As entertaining (and scandalous) as the Flashman novels are, they are also very well researched and present fascinating periods of 19th-century history in vivid and accessible detail. Marking Fraser's passing at

That was a pity, because Mr Fraser knew every scrap about Flashman, from the points of his swaggering moustaches to the tips of his gleaming spurs. He knew him as a scoundrel, a liar, a cheat, a thief, a coward and, not least, a toady, ever able to make himself shine in the eyes of his braying superiors. And he revelled in him as perhaps the finest fictional rogue ever to grace the map of the British empire. May he rest in Peace.
