The Peter Shandy Series by Charlotte Macleod

Between 1978 and 1996 Charlotte MacLeod published ten Peter Shandy novels, all of them wild, wacky and witty. Her characters range from the straight laced to the totally demented. Her plots are frequently laugh out loud funny. If you like unconventional mysteries that are well written I suggest that you try this series.

In the first book “Rest you Merry” we meet Peter Shandy, a professor at Balaclava Agricultural College and co-propagator of the Balaclava Buster rutabaga. It is Christmas time which means that it is time for the college’s main fund raising event, The Grand Illumination. For years Peter’s neighbor Jemima Ames has badgered him to decorate his house on the crescent. This year he decides he has had enough. After all but burying his house under gaudy decorations he escapes Balaclava for a sea trip only to be shipwrecked. Slinking back home to face his irate neighbors he finds Jemima’s body behind his couch. Is it an accident or murder? Thorkjeld Svenson, college president, champion of the straight furrow and berserker Viking, assigns Peter to find out, without ruining the illumination.

The second book is “The Luck Runs Out”. Strange things are happening in Balaclava County. First some prankster turns all the horse shoes nailed up in the college barns upside down, letting the luck run out, figuratively speaking. Second, the silversmith’s vault is emptied in a daring robbery while the newly married Peter and Helen Shandy just happen to be there picking out their silverware. Third, Belinda of Balaclava, the college’s prize sow is pignapped and the local farrier is found dead in the sty’s mash feeder. Peter is once again assigned to sort out the mysteries.

Third is “Wrack and Rune”. Professor Timothy Ames is visiting the Horsefalls farm in Lumpkin Corners when their hired man dies in a very nasty way. After calling the police and doctor, his next call is to Peter Shandy. Now Peter must find out why someone has been harassing the Horsefalls. Is the death another prank that has gone wrong or cold blooded murder? How does the old Viking rune-stone on the property fit into the mystery? To find the answers, Peter must deal with pranksters, large crowds of sightseers, and the college president’s 102 year old uncle Sven’s pursuit of an older woman.

Number four on the list is “Something the Cat Dragged In”. Retired professor Ungley rents Mrs. Lomax’s downstairs apartment. When her cat Edmund shows up with his hairpiece in his mouth, her only thought is to return it before the professor misses it. When she finds him not home and his bed not slept in she goes looking for him and finds him impaled on a harrow peg behind the Balaclava Society’s clubhouse. Police Chief Ottermole calls the death an accident but Mrs. Lomax doesn’t believe it and when Edmund finds another clue it leads straight back to the college. Overnight Balaclava County is the scene of a power struggle between town and gown that could destroy Balaclava Agricultural College. Naturally President Svenson assigns Peter Shandy, the Hercule Poirot of the turnip fields, the job of uncovering the murderer.

“The Curse of the Giant Hogweed” is the fifth book in the series. In this book Professors Shandy, Ames, and Stott have traveled to England to assist with the problems being caused by the growth of giant hogweed. When they set out to do field work they cross the border into Wales and find a world they didn’t expect. Trapped in the hogweed and confronted by a giant looking for the King’s pet griffin, it doesn’t take them long to realize that life has become even more bizarre then usual.

Number six is “The Corpse in Oozak’s Pond”. It’s Ground Hog day and all of Balaclava has turned out to see if the College ground hog will see his shadow. They get more of a show then they expect when a corpse pops up through the ice on the pond. When two more deaths follow, it’s up to Peter to find some answers.

In the seventh book, Vane Pursuit, Peter’s wife Helen is photographing antique weather vanes for the historical society. It seems like no sooner does she her pictures then the weather vanes come up missing. When someone fire bombs the Lumpkin soap factory shortly after their weather vane is photographed and someone dies in the fire Peter starts to investigate. Before he finds the answers he will tangle with a motley group of survivalists, assist a heiress who’s hiding out, and fear for the life of his beloved Helen.

Eighth in the series is An Owl Too Many. When Emory Emmerick, a site engineer for the college’s new TV station gets stabbed to death during the annual owl count Peter Shandy is once again on the case. A dead man who isn’t who he said he was, a secretary who keeps getting herself tied to trees, and a wild ride down a raging river in a tug boat make this a rollicking adventure as well as a good mystery.

Number nine is Something in the Water. Peter has gone to check out reports of beautiful, lush, lupines growing where they shouldn’t be able to grow at all. Staying in an old inn, he is waiting for his desert when the town’s most disliked citizen keels over face first into his diner. Foul play is suspected but Peter is much more interested in the lupines. Interested or not Peter soon finds himself trying to solve three mysteries. Who killed Jaspar Flodge, how are such lush plants growing in such poor soil, and who is the unknown artist who refuses to admit to painting such beautiful canvasses.

Number ten, the last but not least in the series is Exit the Milkman. Professor Feldster, Balaclava’s dairy expert and the Shandy’s neighbor has disappeared. Last seen on his way to one of his many lodge meetings he is seen getting into a big car with tinted windows and then nothing. He never shows up at the lodge, doesn’t come home and doesn’t show up for his morning class. Before he is found his obnoxious wife dies in a bizarre manor. Once again Peter must leave his turnip fields and classroom to play Sherlock Holmes.

I would try installing new drivers for your video card. That would be the best case scenario.

Worst case is that your video card is nearing the end of it's lifespan.

Good luck.

NFL Picks – Week 1

Chicago Bears vs. Green Bay Packers

Lambeau Field - Sunday Night - NBC

Line: Packers - 3 1/2
Over/Under: 46

The oldest rivalry in football is one of the feature games from Week 1 NFL betting action. This battle goes back as far as 1923, when the first meeting resulted in a 3-0 Bears win (they covered as a 2.5-point favorite...just kidding)

This weekend's game has a line on it of -3.5 that's the current line at sportsbook .

The line actually opened at -3, but steady money has been coming in on the home team Packers, pushing the line up to -3.5. Most online sportsbooks are reporting 70 to 75% of the betting volume is Green Bay money. I don't see that changing as we get closer to kick-off, and in fact, I think this number could reach -4.

So if you like the Packers (check below for our pick on this one) you might want to get your bet in now.

The Bears head to Lambeau having won four of the last five games in Green Bay, but note that they were blown out last year 37-3 in Week 11.

In Week 16 the Bears hosted Green Bay and turned the tables beating them 20-17 in overtime.

But this year is different, as the Packers will face a Bears team that finally has a franchise quarterback. This season the rivalry is renewed with a legitimate QB showdown as Aaron Rodgers welcomes Jay Cutler to the division. This rivalry could dominate this division for the next 10 seasons.

In 2008 Rodgers threw for 4,038 yards, 28 touchdowns and just 13 interceptions for an impressive passer rating of 93.8 in his first season as the Packers starter. Cutler threw for 4,526 yards, 25 touchdowns and 18 interceptions last year for a passer rating of 86. Both quarterbacks have big arms and can make any throw required to move the offense.

Green Bay has more weapons for Rodgers to spread the ball around and he had a good year with this group last season. The Bears offer Cutler two very good tight ends in Greg Olsen and Desmond Clark who might be the best tight end tandem in the NFL. The wide-receiving position is average however with all-pro punt returner Devin Hester penciled in as number one and second year receiver Earl Bennett as number two. Matt Forte has a great shot to improve on his 1200-yard season in 2008 with Cutler now in the fold.

But still, edge to the Packers.

The Packers brought in defensive guru Dom Capers to run the defense. He has switched the team over to a 3-4 scheme. The defense has adjusted well in preseason but it can take some time to fully implement the change.

Former Lions coach Rod Marinelli takes over as Defensive Coordinator of the Bears. The strength of the Bears for years has been their defense. Getting DT Tommie Harris back on the field is huge for the team. Marinelli is a noted line coach and Harris has already stated that he has helped him tremendously. Both he and Brian Urlacher are looking to rebound from a sub-par 2008 season. The defensive line is average and will get pushed around. They don't have a great pass rush other than weakside linebacker Lance Briggs, which could hurt them against the Pack. Top corner Charles Tillman is recovering from a back injury and looks good to go for the opener.

Overall, this looks pretty even, as the neither defense will be outmatched by the offense in any significant way...but the Packers do look like they can create some matchup advantages that I like.

I see Green Bay winning this game and will lay the 3 points (I'm buying the hook)

Good luck with your NFL betting this weekend.

Storage New York: an Ideal Way to Discard the Junk

Psychology, as everybody knows, has a profound effect on the human mind. And when it comes to an attachment with the items no longer in use, its grip seems to be further tightened beyond control. But come what may, one has to discard these items for good instead of accumulating them due to the space constraint. In many cases however, we might just wish to pile up things seeing their potential use and hence the need of a storage unit. Storage New York is one such service which helps us in becoming more organized and provides a storage space for the items in a clutter-free environment. Some of the items no longer in use, like an old car or motorcycle or a cherished antique piece find their way into these storage units to be restored later in their pristine glory.

A number of steps are involved in the process of storage beginning with checking for proper storage facilities in the area. This is achieved with the help of internet which provides the relevant details involved in the process. Storage New York is one such place where every requirement is met with the provision of incentives like free locks, absence of payment for two to three months as well as a rent-free truck. But before that, decide for yourself which items are needed and which have to be discarded. Storage New York professionals use their time tested expertise while planning and organization and these attributes play a vital part in deciding the strategies while shifting the items. Mostly, the storage unit sizes are standardized ones, coming under 10×10 and 20×20. It is advised to plan in advance, lest the storage space proves to be lesser then anticipated.

Besides these issues, packing of the items is considered critical because of the protection factor. Storage New York are pros when it comes to handling this sensitive issue and the experts ensure that proper packing material is purchased. For this purpose, large Tupperware bins are sought from the local discount store at an affordable price which helps in protecting these items from mice and rats. They make sure that the items are packed at the rear of the storage unit so that gaining an entry towards your most valuable items is prevented. Last but not the least security is one such issue which seals your decision regarding the selection of a perfect storage unit. Be assured on this count as well, since most of the storage units provide insurance cover ensuring in turn, a proper safety mechanism for your valuables.

If they don’t, an outside source is provided by them so that your items are insured in a proper way. This paves way towards a perfect security mechanism but one should also check whether the said unit is close to your office in a well-lit area. Storage New York fulfills these preconditions very well. Apart from these attributes what differentiates this particular storage facility from others, is incentives they offer their clients. These are improvised locks provided at affordable prices which further enhance the security factor for the protection of these items. Storage New York experts are professionals when it comes to organization, packing and security of your items, which are otherwise considered as mere junk. One has to ensure that correct information regarding these important issues is collected, to ensure an effortless move into the storage unit of your choice.
