zoomHow The Light Gets In
By Louise Penny
Minotaur Books, 416 pages, $29.99
In the Acknowledgments to her new book featuring Homicide Inspector Armand Gamache, Penny says her writing process begins with a two-day session when she and a friend "hash out ideas, some crazy, some too sane and safe." The fundamental idea the two came up with for Penny's latest novel seems far more crazy than sane. It goes like this: what if someone murdered the last surviving Dionne Quintuplet?
In the book, the famous Quints are given a name other than Dionne, and they grow up in Quebec, not Ontario. But all the other details of the fictional Quints' claustrophobic lives are the same as the real-life Dionnes — apart from the murder. Penny strews Gamache's sleuthing path with tricky clues and deceptive red herrings. She also tosses in two very large coincidences that take the story to Three Pines. This is the unrelievedly picturesque village in the Eastern Townships featured in earlier Gamache novels. But the puzzle is so cleverly conceived that not even Three Pines and its often irritating residents detract from the detecting pleasures.
Eventually in this most ambitious of Penny's books, the Quint case is overshadowed by the much larger machinations of Gamache's long-time enemy, the power-hungry Quebec police chief, Silvain Francoeur. Until now, Francoeur has been content to dismantle Gamache's homicide squad. But now he's got bigger fish to fry.
We the readers aren't sure what Francoeur's end game is. Neither is Gamache. But everyone knows that Gamache is the only man in Quebec who might outwit Francoeur. It all becomes thrillingly suspenseful stuff in Penny's hands, building on ideas that seem crazy in the extreme and not at all sane and safe.
Sandrine's Case
By Thomas H. Cook
Mysterious Press, 252 pages, $26.50
Thomas Cook, the versatile American crime novelist, sets his new book in the mind and words of a stuffy professor of literature at a small Georgia college. The professor's life is at a singular crossroads since he's on trial for the murder of his once bright and beautiful wife. Throughout the book and the trial, we're of two minds about the possible verdict. All we're certain of is that the professor will have a hard time redeeming his sense of self-worth. Will he even try? That becomes the more intriguing question.
The Dead Don't Dream
By Mauro Azzano
Novel Voices, 298 pages, $19.95
Mauro Azzano, a first-time Canadian author, deals with two story lines. One involves a Toronto cop's tracking of murder among local mafia figures. The other records the same cop's love story with a woman he has just met. Oddly enough, it's the romance that overshadows the sleuthing. Set in 1973, the book has such an innocence and charm that not even the mafia guys seem especially menacing. Is Azzano on to a new form in crime fiction, one where love conquers all?
Tamarack County
By William Kent Krueger
Atria, 309 pages, $28.99
Cork O'Corcoran may be the sweetest PI in all of crime fiction. This is William Krueger's 13th novel featuring Cork, all set deep in rural Minnesota where Cork was once the local sheriff, where his wife was murdered in one case, his kids scared almost to death in others. Cork, part Ojibwe, presses on, running his own burger joint to make ends meet. Now a case from his past involving a young Ojibwe falsely convicted of murder returns to haunt him. Krueger, a natural born storyteller, lets things unfold for Cork with an acute sense of drama.
Jack Batten's Whodunit column appears every second week.

For the first time in the Pittsburgh Penguins-New York Islanders series, it looks like James Neal and Sidney Crosby will play in the same game.
Neal, who missed two games with a lower body injury, skated alongside Jarome Iginla and Evgeni Malkin during the team's pregame warm-up, according to Newsday's Arthur Staple.
It looks like Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik (lower body) is also probable and will be paired up with Paul Martin. Orpik hasn't played yet in this series, but he was by far the team's most prolific player when it came to blocked shots during the regular season with 114 in 46 contests.
Pittsburgh has a 2-1 series lead after earning a 5-4 overtime victory on Sunday.
Update: The Penguins have confirmed that Neal and Orpik will return tonight.

Artisan: Sierra Sonoma
In her studio set amidst the rolling hills and endless stretches of green vines in Sonoma Valley, long considered California's premier wine country, artist Cheryl Sirkus creates the pieces for her Sierra Sonoma jewelry line. Her pieces shine like reflections of the inspiration she gathers from the natural, subtle beauty of the region.
"This is truly an inspirational place to live and design," Cheryl says. Starting by sketching out ideas, she mindfully creates pieces to capture elegance and femininity in understated tones, selecting semi-precious stones and pearls to enhance the effect. "Simplicity and subtle designs are really my forte. I think the design and color should speak for itself."

Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them. There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at: http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. (c) Finally, you can Banish Yourself From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org.

400K apartments needed nationwide
- Tim Schooley
- Reporter- Pittsburgh Business Times
- Email | Twitter | Google+ | Facebook
I wouldn't expect a industry as flourishing to feel particularly ignored.
Yet when I attended a Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney Symposium on Trends Driving the Multifamily Housing Market on Friday, Christine Young Gertz, the government affairs director of the Apartment Association of Pennsylvania, was quick to contrast a federally supported American Dream based on home ownership with what she described as an apartment industry that goes largely unnoticed by policymakers.
While multifamily development is perhaps the hottest sector of the real state industry nationwide right now, Young Gertz fleshed out the multifamily housing industry's size and importance that is often overlooked.
"No community can be strong without quality rental housing," she said. "We're saying that renting is just as important to a community as home ownership is."
Nationwide, she cited industry research that the country needs to add 300,000 to 400,000 apartments every year for the next few years to keep up with pent-up demand.
"We're way behind in the need for rental housing," she said.
It's a trillion-dollar industry nationwide and worth $29 billion in the state of Pennsylvania, she added.
Young Gertz was joined in the panel discussion by Lucas Piatt, president and COO of Millcraft Investments, owner and developer of downtown Pittsburgh residential buildings such as River Vue and Market Square Place; John Gaghan, vice president of Los Angeles-based Lowe Enterprises Investors; Dan Cunningham, senior vice president with PNC Real Estate; and Cindy Kamin, a senior vice president with CBRE who specializes in multi-family housing.

Clexane and Aspirin- not sure I want to take it
(9 Posts)Hi
10 weeks pregnant with DC2.
Had booking in appt last week at Queen Charlottes. Midwife got me to see doctor at the same time. Doctor suggested I start taking aspirin and injecting clexane starting immediately until 6 weeks after birth.
When I asked why she said it's purely due to my high bmi- 40. I have no other risk factors, had easy pregnancy and birth time. Perfect bp, no protein in wee, was heavier then and no drugs were ever mentioned.
Doctor said I could think about it for a while as there was no rush.
I am inclined to take the aspirin but not the clexane as I'm not sure it's needed, if anything changes and I present more risk then of course I'll take it, but I just feel they are being too general in blanket prescribing it without taking into account history etc.
anyone have any thoughts or experiences?
Hi Im currently 33+3 with a bmi of 44. I am taking daily aspirin but never been offered clexane, it's never even been mentioned.
My sister had to take it due to her having a clot and my midwife had said I would also most likely have to take it but the doc at my scans never mentioned it so neither did I. I have heard lots of stories about pregnant women being told to take it as a precaution when they have presented with anything that might be linked with a clot even though there was no indication of them actually having any! I too think they are being too general in prescribing it.
Pulmonary embolism used to be the leading cause of maternal death in England.
It isn't any more as a result of loads of research, screening and prophylaxis.
Risk assessment is now routine for all pregnant women.
You have a degree of risk. This will be monitored during your pregnancy and, as you and the doctor have agreed, your risk will be re-evaluated as your pregnancy progresses.
It hasn't been prescribed, it has been suggested, on the basis of known risk factors.
I am taking it for a clotting condition causing miscarriage. FWIW, it hasn't caused me any issues bar a couple of bruises when I injected myself clumsily getting the hang of it!
It is very safe to take during pregnancy if that is your concern?
I had a BMI of over 40 in my last pregnancy and a history of DVT. I was given neither asprin or Clexane during the pregnancy, but had to have injections after the birth - for six weeks if I remember rightly.
As long as it wasn't harmful to the baby, I would inject it during pregnancy. I'm yet to have that conversation with the midwife/consultant in this pregnancy.
It's really not an issue. I have a clotting history, so am on heparin (Fragmin) daily. Sometimes the injections hurt, sometimes they don't, sometimes they bruise, sometimes they don't, but it's fairly harmless. It doesn't cross into the baby. For me it's better than the alternative.
I have a high bmi 42 and I'm on aspirin daily but I also have family history and factor v lieden so celexain was mentioned but only if I was bed rest and for 1 week after birth, I've had them b4 but only for a few days and they really hurt! So was glad when consultant told me that
How long is it since your last pregnancy? Possibly you have passed one of those invisible age barriers in the literature that says your risk of DVT etc has increased, and this combined with the BMI now makes Clexane indicated. (The advice on something changed for me between spring and summer in one pregnancy when I hit 37 for similar bizarre reason).
Clexane does not cross the placenta and so is no risk to the baby. If it is being suggested, it is to protect you from getting a blood clot or high BP in pregnancy.
Cons: Injecting every day is a bit of a pain & you get bruises. Also long term Clexane use is associated with a decline in bone density- ie taking it for several years at a pop- taking it in one pregnancy is not that bad but there is a slight decline- studies have shown that taking it for a pregnancy is associated with approx 3% reduction in bone density in the spine and 1% in the femur (but bear in mind that breastfeeding a baby reduces it by a roughly similar amount). If you take it you can get a high concentration calcium and vit D tablet prescribed to help offset this.
Pros: significant reduction in the chance of a blot clot and pre-eclampsia. The highest risk group for getting pre-eclampsia (high BMI, maternal age and a previous history of getting it in a previous PG, for example, it will reduce the risk of getting it again from 30% to 5%) I know you have no history of it before, but suspect your risk is presenting slightly higher than in the last PG, hence the suggestion.
I'd get back to the doc and ask which factors have changed and why it is now indicated.

Nabholz Construction
Nabholz Construction Services of Conway is the state's largest commercial contractor with more than $430 million in revenue in 2010.
Accordng to the company, Nabholz Construction Services was founded in 1949 by R.D. "Bob" Nabholz "somewhat by accident" when Nabholz was building a home for his soon-to-be wife. A man saw the home Nabholz was building and made Nabholz an offer to purchase it. Nabholz accepted the offer and used the profit to build houses and duplexes. Later he branched into commercial construction.
The company was incorporated in 1955. Four years later the firm got its first $1 million project: The Arkansas Children's Colony.
By 1986 the firm made ENR's "Top 400 Contractors List" and in 1990 it reached $100 million in sales. The company soon expanded into Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas.
Major projects include the multimillion-dollar Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, the Arkansas Children's Hospital addition, the UAMS Institute on Aging and the Southwest Power Pool campus in Little Rock.

Jonesboro, AR (SportsNetwork.com) - Melvin Johnson III scored 22 points as the Arkansas State Red Wolves captured a 72-58 win over the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers in a Sun Belt Conference clash at the Convocation Center.
Also scoring in double figures for the Red Wolves (13-8, 6-4 Sun Belt), as they won for the third time in the last four outings, was Cameron Golden with 11 points off the bench.
Chris Harrison-Docks was responsible for 14 points for WKU (16-8, 8-3), followed by Trency Jackson and Aaron Adeoye with 11 and 10 points, respectively, as the team had a six-game win streak snapped.
Both teams struggled to find the basket in the first half as Western Kentucky knocked down only 6-of-26 from the floor, compared to 8-of-28 for an ASU squad that grabbed a 25-20 lead at the break. The Red Wolves made just 2-of-9 behind the 3-point line through the first 20 minutes of action, but attempted to compensate with 7-of-9 at the free-throw line.
In the second half the hosts jumped to 55.0 percent accuracy from the field and an impressive 22-of-26 at the charity stripe in order to run away with the double-digit win.
In addition to being outscored at the free-throw line, 29-17, the Hilltoppers also suffered with 17 turnovers on the night.

Former President Bill Clinton said Saturday that the supercharged political environment makes cutting the government's long-term debt a difficult task — and cited a recent Republican tax plan as a perfect example.
Clinton told college students at the annual Clinton Global Initiative University conference that the nation should work to gradually reduce the debt as the economy improves. But he said many political leaders are often punished for suggesting the need to raise taxes or reform the current tax system.
The ex-president pointed to a sweeping tax overhaul recently proposed by Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., the chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, which called for eliminating several popular tax breaks to pay for lower overall tax rates. Some of Camp's fellow Republicans have criticized the plan because it includes a new tax on Wall Street banks and imposes a new surtax on some wealthy families.
"Dave Camp, the Republican chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, has just proposed a very interesting set of tax reforms — and, boy, did he get killed by his own crowd," Clinton said.
Before the arrival of super PACs, Clinton said, "you couldn't always depend on a billionaire spending a fortune to run television ads against you to tell everybody how un-American you are ... this is a new thing in American history, and on a bipartisan basis we need to reject that."
Clinton urged students to engage in politics and debate issues like debt reduction, offering advice that might be applicable to his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is considering a 2016 presidential campaign.
"Changing the world is a group enterprise," Clinton said. "There's no place for any of us in the peanut gallery. We have to be on the field and playing."

When Movie Characters Break the Fourth Wall
The idea of a supercut of movie characters breaking the fourth wall might seem kind of boring—we all know that's a thing that happens, right?—but it's the beginning-to-end witty editing that makes this one from Leigh Singer and Press Play really work.
After all, there are all sorts of reasons to have characters break the fourth wall. To narrate, to ingratiate themselves with the audience, to manage audience expectations, even to make fun of the audience. (Those suckers.) And all of those are riffed on here. In the end, I promise this is something that even you—yes, you—will enjoy.

"Men nearly always follow the tracks made by others and proceed in their affairs by imitation..." Machiavelli
"Conformity is a negative force if the individual form that gives
uniqueness and dignity to a person is subdued by the collective
form. If this happens...a structure appears for which it probably
would be more adequate to use the word "patternization" - the
process in which persons are modeled according to a definite pattern.
Patternization is what determines our period, both in learning
and in life. And the questions I want to ask now are: What
are the patternizing powers in our present culture, and are we able
to resist them? Are we still able to say no in matters of serious
concern, in spite of the tremendous strength of the patternizing
forces?" Paul Tillich, Conformity
"When popularity is sufficiently important relative to intrinsic utility...many individuals conform to a single, homogeneous standard of behavior, despite heterogeneous underlying preferences. They are willing to suppress their individuality and conform to the social norm because they recognize that even small departures from the norm will seriously impair their popularity...any departure from the norm is construed as evidence of extreme preferences...Even so, agents with sufficiently extreme preferences refuse to conform. These individualists behave in ways that differ significantly from the social norm: there are no trivial nonconformists. Within the social fringe, heterogeneous preferences do result in heterogeneous behavior; these agents express their individuality." Bernheim, A Theory of Conformity
"When popularity is sufficiently important relative to intrinsic utility...many individuals conform to a single, homogeneous standard of behavior, despite heterogeneous underlying preferences. They are willing to suppress their individuality and conform to the social norm because they recognize that even small departures from the norm will seriously impair their popularity...any departure from the norm is construed as evidence of extreme preferences...Even so, agents with sufficiently extreme preferences refuse to conform. These individualists behave in ways that differ significantly from the social norm: there are no trivial nonconformists. Within the social fringe, heterogeneous preferences do result in heterogeneous behavior; these agents express their individuality." Bernheim, A Theory of Conformity
(1) Two ASTONISHING- truly astonishing- observations can be made of contemporary social reality. First, the potential or theoretical opportunity to exercise free choice and become different from everyone else has never been greater. Generated from the creativity, work, and sacrifices of millions of people over human history, there has never been so much choice in all aspects of life, from clothing to music to cars to colors of everything one purchases to sports one follows to hairstyle to hobbies to where one can live to what one reads to what one believes to whom one dates to what one eats to what one plants in one's garden to what furniture one buys and so on. Second, there has never been a time where more people are refusing to become different and abdicating most of their life choices to the dominant social programming and conformity. Potential choice is approaching infinity; but actual choice is approaching zero. Not everyone is exactly the same; but many many people are awfully similar. What differences still exist are often trivial, and by trivial it is meant here that after a few days or even hours with this person you will see that this difference makes no real difference in the person's everyday life or consciousness. You will see this anywhere you go by simply being on the sharp lookout for persons that look REALLY different, who say REALLY different things that make you pause and reflect on what they just said to see if you even "got" what they said, who behave in ways that are ACTUALLY startling to the extent that you question whether they are actually sane (they are). How often do you meet such persons? Once a year? Once a decade? In a truly free creative society, how often would you expect to meet such persons? Several times a day, if not more? Why is this happening?
(2) Regardless of the values we profess to follow and admire, it is beyond dispute that the dominant value system actually governing actual human behavior today is money, success, popularity, and career worship: "This is the objective situation. Like every human situation it becomes reality through human action and reaction..." (Paul Tillich) These ideals have replaced previous ideals of either religious salvation, romantic engagement, rational enlightenment, or even mystical transcendence. It is believed by nearly all persons that money is good and the more of it (well) the better. Because hardly anyone sees any real problem with having more money, it becomes the "plan" of most people to figure out how to make as much money as they can: "One can observe in many...an intense desire for security, internal and external, a will to be accepted by the group at any price, an unwillingness to show individual traits, a conscious rejection of nonconformist attitudes...an acceptance of a well circumscribed happiness without serious risks." (Paul Tillich) This desire is, of course, relative to one's circumstances (one man wishing to jump from $10,000 to $30,000 salary a year while another wishing to jump from $100,000 to $200,000). Despite situational differences, this desire operates in much the same way as outlined below.
(3) Whatever field one is in, there is usually (by now) a fairly "tried and tested" path to success in that field, success being defined (of course) as making as much money as one can in the field by rising to the "highest" position one can in it. In addition to hard work and the requisite skills to perform the work successfully, there is also a certain social persona one must cultivate to maintain and (over time) elevate one's position in this field. Indeed, the cultivation of this persona is becoming as important as everything else in many fields of work. If one doesn't cultivate this persona in large part (occasional lapses are still okay, praise be) one is labeled as "kinda weird" "kinda awkward" and that is the end of the matter right there. Get that label ("weird" or "awkward" or "strange") and you (probably) won't go very far in whatever line of work you are in.
This persona has various DOs and DO nots with respect to clothing, preferred hobbies, the preferred shape of one's body, the nature of one's friends, the types of restaurants and hotels one frequents, the online personality one cultivates, where one lives, how one speaks, whether one is optimistic or pessimistic (optimistic is the raging trend du jour), one's religious beliefs and behaviors, and so on.
(4) In short order, all persons within a given field gravitate toward the DOs and fly away from the DO nots. The potential choices of all of these persons is nearly infinite; but the value system driving their choices dictates a very narrow range of choices (the DOs). Whatever natural aversion persons may feel toward the DOs and natural attraction they may feel toward the DO nots, these are of no moment because the overwhelming motivation under a regime of money/career worship is to maximize one's monetary/reputational position in the world which motivation seems sensible because, after all, nearly everyone else is aiming for the exact same thing:
An early preponderance towards adoption or rejection
causes subsequent individuals to ignore their private signals, which thus never join
the public pool of knowledge. Nor does the public pool of knowledge have to be
very informative to cause individuals to disregard their private signals.
(Ivo Welch, Conformity, Fads, and Informational Cascades)
It is viewed as no "big deal," no "large sacrifice" to do the DOs because one will indeed be rewarded monetarily for doing this and monetary reward is viewed as the most "real" reward of all. This belief is maintained over decades despite the lack of evidence and information to support it; in fact, the belief has been strengthening in the face of contrary evidence and information. Beyond the monetary reward, one gains the social approval gained from doing what is more popular rather than less.
(5) The observations above yield an important conclusion. The path to freedom today must (usually) involve a clear and decisive break with money, career, and success worship: "Maturity, personal as well as cultural, presupposes a suffering under problems, a necessity to decide, a possibility of saying no." (Paul Tillich)
Lacking such a break, one usually has no chance of actually exercising freedom and becoming meaningfully different from everyone else because one will be continually pressured to perform the behaviors and maintain the attitudes called for by the DOs. With such a break, one is indeed free to "look around" at the thousands of potential choices available to one in nearly any area of life and start making some actual choices that differ from those around you, which flow from inner personality, and which are not contained within the parameters of the dominant social programming and conformity: "and every excellence we choose indeed...for the sake of happiness, judging that through them we shall be happy." (Aristotle, Nichomachean Ethics)

I've been buying these cigars for well over 10 years, and have to say that the consistency of the product has decreased within the last year or so. Freshness is the major problem, as some orders are very fresh, some are somewhat stale and hard, and some are mixed (one box good, one box stale)..
Was this review helpful Yes / NoThanks for your feedback!
Still Great after all these years
EduranManilla on 02/25/15
I've been smoking these babies for many years. I've tried other domestic cigars but I keep coming back. The natural wrapper on these offer up a taste that is close to the premium brands.
