Decom North Sea (DNS), the offshore oil and gas decommissioning forum, is hosting a "lunch and learn" event to give supply chain companies the opportunity to present their offshore decommissioning capabilities and encourage knowledge share among members. The event will take place on Wednesday, March 19, at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel, Aberdeen, from 12-2 p.m.
The event will include a presentation from Claxton Engineering, a company providing a broad range of cutting and abandonment services using methodologies that have been deployed on more than 260 well abandonments and slot recoveries. The company has a wealth of experience in its field, and performed the world's first rigless platform well abandonment more than a decade ago.
Matt Marcantonio, R&D managerat Claxton Engineering, said, "With demand for decommissioning services on the rise for coming years, we are excited to be able to share our capabilities with DNS and its member organizations. With a long history of decommissioning activity, we have a strong knowledge of the field and can assist in cutting services and other abandonment needs throughout the sector."
The event will also feature a presentation from Jee Ltd., an independent subsea engineering and training firm which specializes in decommissioning and recently completed a large decommissioning close-out project with BP. Oil States Barrow, a specialist in remotely controlled subsea cutting technology, will also present.
A new feature of the regular lunch and learn events is the spotlight on new member slot. This month, it will focus on Sureclean, which recently won a three-year contract with Aker Solutions for the provision of waste management services during the first phase of decommissioning CNR International's Murchison platform.
DNS chief executive Brian Nixon said, "We have an exceptional lineup for this month's lunch and learn which will provide a highly educational experience for all of our attendees. We look forward to enhancing knowledge share among our members this month with this impressive schedule of speakers."
To continue its mission to encourage safe, efficient and cost-effective decommissioning activity across the North Sea, DNS has also opened bookings for Decom Offshore 2014, a one-day interactive event in Aberdeen to take place on May 27.
DNS has grown since its inception in 2010 to have more than 230 members drawn from operators, major contractors, service specialists and technology developers. With annual decommissioning expenditure in the North Sea heading upwards from the current£1billion within a few years, DNS was set up to tackle the main areas of weakness, which are inhibiting decommissioning supply-chain capability.

Forum - View topicGood manga for a comic book store?

A local comic store owner is thinking about carrying manga again. He tried to do this once a few years ago but barely sold anything. Now that Borders is gone he's thinking of trying again. What do you guys think? Is it a good idea? Can comic book fans be tempted to buy manga or are fanbases too seperate?
He also asked me to suggest some manga title that he could stock. Do you guys have any recommendations? I think they'd have to appeal to his regular customers. So maybe manga that are a little more mature and/or violent that aren't as well known as say "One Piece" or "Naruto" (he had no luck selling those). Also, they'd have to be titles that are currently licensed and in print so that he could order them easily.
The only one I could think of was "Vagabond" (currently being published by Dark Horse). I have read so much manga but so little of it applies...

May I ask where it is? I know major comic stores in big cities sell a lot of manga really well.
I think the thing is that manga fans already become accustom to buying from B&N and just online in general, but there's always room to grow.
I personally think that only reading one style of comic is really dumb. Manga are amazing, American comics are amazing. I know it's hard to not be biased, but.
Anyway, go with a lot of the stuff that sells first. Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, the Sailor Moon reprints, etc.
Second, go with the more adult stuff like 20th Century Boys, Dark Horse manga (Berserk, Gantz, etc,) Drops of God, and all of that stuff that was up for/received Eisner Awards.

Well there's two categories I could suggest. First off, the Viz Sig line in general is meant to be aimed at a more mature audience, the seinen crowd (and occasional josei).
And secondly, most anything published by Vertical. Lychee Light Club is really dark and disturbing and complete in one volume. They also publish a lot of Osamu Tezuka, MW, Ayako, Book of Human Insects, all really dark and a single volume long (ok, more like one big thick volume). I could see having trouble selling long multiple volume things, but perhaps trying some big omnibuses might work better. And many of them are flipped specifically to be more accessible to general comic fans and not just manga fans. There's also some short series like No Longer Human and the soon to be released Message to Adolf (also a Tezuka title to boot!) and if those work, maybe try for some of the longer Tezuka series like Buddha and Black Jack and longer Vertical titles like Drops of God (also great for wine people) and Twin Spica.
Fantagraphics also sells some josei and seinen stuff. Wandering Son is something that B&N don't really carry, and it's a mature story about transgendered children.
And yeah, Sailor Moon is selling ridiculously well, there's gotta be people who walk into any comic shop who go "Toonami! I remember Sailor Moon!", so it can even appeal to nostalgia. Sailor Moon has been the top seller in manga pretty much since Kodansha started releasing it, nothing else is even close.
There are also just certain other random titles I'd recommend, Bride's Story, Parasyte (I think it's getting a reprint soonish), Fullmetal Alchemist (also sells ridiculously well), and more I'll think of later

I actually think, at this point, that recommendations for specific titles are likely to do more to hurt than to help.
What your comic shop owner needs to do, is gauge his customer base. What types of comics do they already buy, so he can look into manga of similar themes, which are more likely to sell than something completely different. Pathfinders can be great resources, especially with an investment that could cost a lot of money if it fails.
Another thing to look at, is if he already sells "manga format" versions of English books, such as DC's "Grand Quest" release of ElfQuest. American comics, even in graphic novel format, often are more different from manga than just the direction you read, and the "manga format" books can be used as an intermediary bridge between comics and manga.

Exactly. What works for one shop won't always work for another. For instance, if this comic shop specializes in the less mainstream titles (or even indie/underground comics) it'd make sense to look into titles from D&Q, Ponent Mon, Fantagraphics and Vertical, and focus on introducing customers to authors or movements, not series.
But if customers are begging for Bleach, start selling shounen manga.

|While I agree with the others that it's hard to recommend things without knowing customers better, one title that did come to my mind right away was Blade of the Immortal. While I admit, the series didn't do a whole lot for me, it does have a closer feel to North American comics than other manga out there (Dark Horse even published it in single issue format for awhile).

How about a survey of the customers?
Have they ever read manga? If so, what are their three favorite titles?
Have they ever watched anime? If so, what are their three favorite titles?
Do they watch anime on TV? Toonami?
Simple things like that. Would take a minute or so to complete.

It goes without saying that it depends on the clientele but I'll say it anyway because it really depends on the clientele.
Honestly, if you do 95% of your business in superhero comics (as some comic shops seem to) then you should probably just forget manga. There's very little crossover between these two fanbases. If you do decent numbers on other stuff though then I think you probably have some customers who are either manga fans or at least manga curious.
I think you're absolutely right about this. What's most popular in the manga world might not be what's best for you. Stuff like Naruto, Bleach and One Piece might sell well to manga fans but I really don't think the bulk of these book's fans shop at specialty comic shops (or certainly not specialty western comic shops). Maybe with Borders gone it'll help but this stuff is mainstream enough that most of its fans still aren't going to have to resort to specialty shops to find it. As you said, the most important thing is matching your existing clientele. Above all else, pick books similar to the western books you already sell.
If your customers tend to like the kind of alternative but still relatively mainstream stuff (like the Walking Dead, Hellboy, anything from Vertigo) then you obviously want to try something similar. Start with stuff more or less action oriented and aimed at men. Vagabond and Blade of the Immortal are both good choices. I think they'd more or less appeal to everyone (short of diehard superhero fans). I think Berserk would do alright too (although it skews a bit more toward the extremely graphic).
Also, you should definitely try stuff that looks less manga-ish. If you're dealing with people who don't normally read manga, a huge part of the challenge is just going to be getting them to pick up the book and give it a look in the first place. Stuff that looks a bit closer to what they're used to is going to go over a lot better than stuff that has more of a strikingly "manga" look.
On the other hand, if you deal in a lot of really indie stuff then just pick good, critically acclaimed titles. Your readers are probably fairly flexible in terms of actual subject matter and a lot of them probably already read manga or at least have read manga. Anything by Vertical or anything nominated for an Eisner award would be good. There's also stuff like Monster, Pluto and 20th Century Boys which is more middle of the road. It would certainly be popular with indie fans but it's also a lot more mainstream friendly than some of that Vertical stuff. It's probably not the kind of thing someone who is new to manga will immediately grab though.
One tip either way: Start small. No reason to break the bank stocking a ton of manga titles right off the bat. Pick a couple select books that you think have the best chance of success and stock them. If they do well then you can always add more titles later on.

Naruto and One Piece don't appeal to superhero comic readers. Bleach does however. Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal, Gantz, Ouran, Bakuman, Tenjo Tenge, and others as well, at least according to the top sellers: http://www.icv2.com/
I'd avoid Sailor Moon since girls don't really go to comic shops. They're buying that at bookstores. It's not on that list either.

Um, what? Sure they do. Granted, based on what has been said about this particular store, I agree that Sailor Moon doesn't sound like the best fit, that doesn't mean we need to start making extremely faulty and stereotypical generalizations.

|You do know what an 'exception to the rule' is, right? Naming a handful of girls who do doesn't exactly change the fact it's an immensely male-dominated business. Stock up your shop with a bunch of shoujo and you're only going to regret it in the end.

|Or you'll find an untapped customer-based. Honestly, while there still is a definitely male majority, I think you are grossly ignorant of the number of female comic book readers.

|The comic book store I grew up going to is sadly no longer in business (by choice, not because he went out of business), had at least 30% female customers. The comic store I go to now, it's rare that I don't see at least half the people in it female. Actually, I think they might have more female employees than men, even. The old "girls don't like comic" stereotype is vastly out-of-date, and damaging to women who seek equality in "boys-only" fandoms, such as comics and gaming.

Yes, the gender ratio definitely varies from shop to shop. The comic shop that I visit is just a few minutes from my college campus, on the main street of our downtown shopping area. I don't think I've ever been the only girl in the store when I go during busy times. Pretty sure a few women work there as well!
I can understand where the idea that "women don't go to comic shops" can originate from--- but I don't think it's helpful to keep repeating it as if that's all there is to it. Maybe think about why you aren't seeing women in your particular comic shop? Do you think that it's an inviting place for a female fan? (Because jeez, I've heard some horror stories. >.<) More importantly, please be careful about making the assumption that "no women in comic shops" = "no women fans of comics". I know you weren't saying that outright, TitanXL, but that is the common progression when people try to discredit female fans. That's why some of us are so defensive.
But back on topic: I am a huge fan of manga and I do visit a comic shop occasionally, but I don't think I've ever bought manga there. It's just so much cheaper shopping online. I would definitely suggest the owner poll his regulars, though, and see what they'd be interested in.
And as a side note: I don't think Sailor Moon is really all that gendered. It's selling above and beyond everything else for a reason; fans of all genders are getting their nostalgia party on. If a lot of men/boys weren't buying it as well, then it would not be outselling the popular shonen titles. And from my own personal experience, pretty much everyone in my anime club (which is about evenly split between men and women) is excited for the new series. Sailor Moon was many people in my age group's first real introduction to anime, and that counts for a lot.

Second in Parry's praised Civil War series (after Faded Coat of Blue), this uncommonly engaging historical drama, the second to feature Abel JonesUnion officer, reluctant detective, and loyal confidential agent for President Lincolnstirs the imagination with its vivid color, gripping suspense and wartime historical accuracy. In the winter of 1862, Major Jones, an immigrant Welshman now in the Union Army, is sent to northern New York to investigate rumors of an Irish insurrection among those who oppose the war. Two federal undercover agents have already been brutally murdered, and Jones knows this will be a delicate and dangerous mission. He boldly sets out for the prosperous town of Penn Yan, N.Y., with no disguise or cover story, proclaiming to all that he is there to investigate the murders and the rumors of rebellion. His presence is at once feared and welcomed, and he naturally becomes the target of the Irish troublemakers, members of a group called Whiteboys. The Irish insurrection, however, is only the front for a larger operation, and Jones soon finds himself in even deeper personal and professional danger. Aided by beautiful Nellie Kildare, who is either a madwoman or a mystic, and thwarted by the manipulative man who passes as her father, Jones and his thieving and conniving friend, Jimmy Molloy, uncover a plot that threatens to cripple the North. Jones is an endearing literary character who should gracefully weather further sequels. He is a war hero who hates war almost as much as he hates horses, admits he does not understand women and thinks the ancient Greeks were a bad sort. Bright but not brilliant, flawed but not troubled, Jones is an ordinary man with an extraordinary sense of duty. Parry has created a thoroughly likable and believable character and engages him here in a riveting adventure.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
I saw her first at the burying, behind the wicked crowd. With the mob of them cursing and shaking their fists in the snow, twas her I saw. Still as if frozen she was, and only her eyes betrayed the fire devouring her. Aglow like embers in a winter hearth, those eyes would burn us all, and haunt me when she was gone.
Fanned by the wind, a lock of hair flamed from her shawl, scorching across her forehead. I would tell you that her hair was red as blood, to give you the vividness of her, but such would be untruthful. I know the look of blood, see. Her own would spot the snow before my eyes. Her hair was a darker thing than blood, though not so dark as her story.
I should have felt the queerness there at once, from the way the rest of the Irish kept off her. Careful they were with the lovely, though otherwise a bad pack. The men slurred and jostled. Drunk under noon, some of them were, and ragged. Bleezed with spite, their women put me in mind of white-faced crows, hard and deprived. Even the little ones come hating to the holy doors that day. For the Irish fear an informer more than the devil, and death excites them always. I worried that the coffin would not pass the gauntlet they made outside the poor boards of their church. As the representative of our Federal authority, I should have made order my business. And I meant to. Then the look of Nellie Kildare drew me from my duty, and I leaned -- one fateful moment -- on my cane.
But I must not go too quickly. There was blame in this death, and a bitter portion of it was mine. Had I not lain abed with General McClellan's own typhoid upon me, I might have come north a month the sooner, asMr. Nicolay and Mr. Seward first intended. Our agent might have lived. Better it would have been for the widow and the little one, not to speak of the poor, blundering fellow himself.
They had tormented him before they killed him. I saw the marks of their work when I come fresh from the train that morning, fair running from the station, with ice on the streets of the town, and my leg bad in the cold, and the weakness still upon me from the fever. The coroner's assistant held the coffin open for my arrival, then disappeared. The Irish priest kept the widow away from the box. Kind doing that was. I ran into the church all snow-pestered and unready for the shock of it. How long I stared at the dead man I cannot tell you now. Long enough, though, to singe my eyes. Twas small of me to gobble so much time, for the widow was keening away in a locked room. But such matters bind us, and we forget consideration. My hands curled into fists beside the corpse, and not only to fight the cold there in that church. There is cruelty, I thought. Savagery. I had not seen so grim a sight since India and the inferno of the Mutiny.
I am a poor beast, as all men are, and would not question the Good Lord's grand design. Still, I wonder at that which He allows.
When I finally stepped away, two paddies nailed the box shut. Muttering and careless, they made it clear enough that they wanted no part of the business. But the priest fell hard upon them and soon they were jumping about and jabbering their sorties. Their voices took me back. I knew those accents from my old red regiment, the gurgling of that unextinguished tongue, harsh as lye-water in the mouth. Each fellow smelled of whisky.
The priest brought in the widow then, holding her up on her feet with one big arm. His other black sleeve held her babe. The little thing was bawling as if it knew all.
Beneath a statue of the sort the Irish idolize, the woman found her strength. She plunged forward, young and worn in her tattered dress, black shawl flying about her. Flinging herself upon the raw pine, she nearly upset the bier. Splinters soon bloodied her hands for the beating she gave the boards. Her wailing echoed in the empty church, raising a swell of laughter beyond the doors.
"The hoor's upon 'im now," a woman cried, triumphant. Her voice pierced the walls. "Oh, bring ye out the traitor's hoor. We'll give 'er what she's a-coming."
To calm the widow, the priest forced her babe into her arms. The woman's raw hands bled on the infant's face and wrappings. They prayed then, in the different way they do, all Latin and sorrow. The priest had eyebrows that met in a black knot and his shoulders were those of a navvy. Not young, not old, there was a worn solidness to him. He might have done for an elder soldier, had he not been a soldier of his faith. His name was McCorkle and he was no more born to America than I was.
I prayed my own prayers. Off to the side, and quiet like. I will not be small and think the Good Lord tends only to us chapel folk. For all the pagan coloration, there is a faith in your Irish Catholic that must call down pity from above. They do the best they can with what they know, and I would not damn them out of hand. But then I have found good among the Hindoo and the Musselman.
I prayed first for the dead man, then for his shattered family. Careful I was not to face their painted statues, but looked to the windows and Heaven beyond. Next, I gave my thanks. First for my Mary Myfanwy and our little John, and then for the...Shadows of Glory. Copyright © by Owen Parry. Reprinted by permission of HarperCollins Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.

*The family of former boxing champ Hector "Macho" Camacho has a huge decision to make.
The famed Puerto Rican boxer, 50, is clinically brain dead, doctors said Thursday, but family members disagreed on whether to take him off life support and two of the fighter's aunts said later that relatives had agreed to wait two more days.
Dr. Ernesto Torres said doctors had no more medical tests to perform on Camacho, who was shot in the face Tuesday night.
Meanwhile, Israel's deputy foreign minister says, "Most of the people who were hit in Gaza deserved it."
"We have done everything we could," said Torres, who is director of the Centro Medico trauma center in San Juan. "We have to tell the people of Puerto Rico and the entire world that Macho Camacho has died, he is brain dead."
He said at a news conference Thursday morning that Camacho's father indicated he wanted the boxer taken off life support and his organs donated, but other relatives opposed the idea.
Camacho was shot as he and a friend sat in a Ford Mustang parked outside a bar Tuesday night. Police spokesman Alex Diaz said officers found nine small bags of cocaine in the friend's pocket, and a 10th bag open inside the car. Camacho's friend, identified as 49-year-old Adrian Mojica Moreno, was killed in the attack.
Doctors had initially said Camacho was expected to survive, but his condition worsened and his heart stopped briefly overnight Tuesday, Torres said. The bullet entered his jaw and lodged in his shoulder after tearing through three of four main arteries in his neck, affecting blood flow through his brain, doctors said.

7 Things You Don't Know About Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman
It's been speculated and rumored for months now. Will Wonder Woman make an appearance in the Man of Steel follow-up Batman Vs. Superman? Warner Bros. made it official this morning, as director Zack Snyder announced Fast & Furious star Gal Gadot as Princess Diana of Themyscira.
Here is what he had to say.
"Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite in the DC Universe. Not only is Gal Gadot an amazing actress, but she also has that magical quality that makes her perfect for the role. We look forward to audiences discovering Gal Gadot in the first feature film incarnation of this beloved character."
Much like the casting of Ben Affleck as Batman, this latest addition to the impending Superman sequel is causing quite a bit of controversy this morning, »

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation's largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today applauded a decision by a Virginia state agency to withdraw accreditation for a training program by John Guandolo, a notorious anti-Muslim conspiracy theorist.
SEE: Statement by Rappahannock Regional Criminal Justice Academy
CAIR: Virginia Counter-Terror Training by Anti-Muslim Activist Sparks Outcry (Guardian)
Last week, CAIR called on Virginia's Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) to withdraw its accreditation for a three-day training program on "Jihadi Networks in America" that will be offered by Guandolo, who bizarrely claims that the current CIA director is a secret Muslim and asserts that American Muslims "do not have a First Amendment right to do anything." A similar request was sent to the Rappahannock Regional Criminal Justice Academy, the agency that actually approved the DCJS accreditation.
SEE: CAIR Seeks Withdrawal of Va. State Accreditation for Anti-Muslim Training
In a statement issued earlier today, the Rappahannock Regional Criminal Justice Academy said:
"After careful consideration and consultation with other law enforcement agencies and academies, having firsthand knowledge of this training, the Rappahannock Regional Criminal Justice Academy will no longer be offering Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services in-service training credit for the upcoming seminar "Understanding and Investigating Jihadi Networks in America."
"The Academy has apologized to those law enforcement agencies and personnel affected by this decision and will work to ensure those officers receive the in-service training credits necessary and relevant to their positions."
"We applaud the Rappahannock Regional Criminal Justice Academy and the Department of Criminal Justice Services for responding promptly and professionally to community concerns about the biased and conspiratorial content of Mr. Guandolo's training program," said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad. "This welcome action sends the message that Virginia law enforcement authorities will receive only fact-based, objective training that does not stereotype any minority groups or faiths."
A representative of CAIR and a leader of the Culpeper, Va., Muslim community today offered a presentation on Islam and Islamophobia to sheriff's officers one day ahead of Guandolo's training.
On Friday, representatives of the Muslim community and CAIR met with Culpeper County Sheriff Scott H. Jenkins. During that meeting, the sheriff agreed to today's presentation.
"We hope that today's presentation will provide sheriff's officers with the accurate information needed to identify and disprove Mr. Guandolo's conspiracy theories," said CAIR Department to Monitor and Combat Islamophobia Director Corey Saylor, who offered part of today's presentation. "We thank the Southern Poverty Law Center for bringing this matter to the public's attention."
Guandolo refers to America's mosques and Islamic centers as "barracks" and falsely claims "it is a permanent command in Islam for Muslims to hate and despise Jews and Christians."

SEE: US Military School Taught Soldiers to Wage "Total War" Against Islam
A 2012 article in the Tennessean newspaper reported Guandolo's belief that mosques are "front organizations for the Muslim Brotherhood with no right to exist."
During a 2012 anti-Muslim training in Tennessee, Guandolo was videoed shoving a local news camera that attempted to record the training. He is linked to one of the nation's most vicious anti-Muslim groups, ACT! for America.

Following calls for reform by CAIR and other groups following revelations of apparently widespread anti-Muslim bias in the training of law enforcement, security and military personnel nationwide, the Obama administration removed biased and inaccurate materials about Islam from federal trainings.

Washington Monthly magazine also published a major investigative article showing similar anti-Islam attitudes by private trainers of law enforcement agencies.

Cambridge University law students face graphic 'sex offence' question
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Sounds perfectly acceptable to be asking Law Students to be considering these kinds of ethical and legal questions
I expect many of them will meet with this kind of stuff in real life. Anyone know the answer to the question?
Yeah, I'm a student at Cambridge and took the Criminal law paper last year. Didn't have anything quite as unusual as this, but the examiner who set this paper (Graham Virgo) is a bit perculiar! Nice guy though!
Parts i and ii could incur liability under the sexual offences Act 2003. Whether or not there is liability would hinge on consent.
Part iii is a causation/remoteness issue. Applying the various tests of causation I would expect there could be liability for constructive manslaughter. Depends very much whether you interpret the waxing as an "operating and substantial cause" of his death…
yes i agree on 1 and 2 but i have no idea about 3 – i'm not a lawyer or law student (though linking the waxing to the death is probibly what i would argue too.)
why is this in a gay news source?
It's looking for an essay discussing the issues, rather than a simple list of offences. But I suspect the answers are (i) sexual assault; (ii) assault by penetration (which is what rape is called when it doesn't involve penetration by a penis); (ii) assault occasioning actual bodily harm. But there are also questions of whether any onlookers were guilting of incitement, or aiding and abetting. I expect they also want a discussion of the issues of consent, and in particular whether it's possible to consent to (iii) (in English law you cannot consent to grevious bodily harm), and whether in (i) the sex of Johnny is relevant . They probably also want a discussion on whether a charge of manslaughter is possible in (iii).
in my A level Chemistry paper in 1986 we had to show how cocaine could be extracted ,refined and tested for purity !…i passed !
I don't think I've ever been confronted by a racy exam question. I feel deprived! :-(
The questions have some nuance to them and require some careful thought to answer them thoroughly. I would love to read some of the answers.

Max Tudor has adapted well to his post as vicar of St. Edwold's in the idyllic village of Nether Monkslip. The quiet village seems the perfect home for Max, who has fled a harrowing past as an MI5 agent. But this new-found serenity is quickly shattered when the highly vocal and unpopular president of the Women's Institute turns up dead at the Harvest Fayre. The death looks like an accident, but Max's training as a former agent kicks in, and before long he suspects foul play. As the investigation unfolds, Max becomes more intricately involved. Memories he'd rather not revisit are stirred, evoking the demons from the past which led him to Nether Monkslip.

"Agatha Award–winning author Malliet (Death of a Cozy Writer) debuts a superb new series... You'll marvel at the author's low-key humor and crystal-clear depictions of small-town life... Malliet, like Louise Penny, brings a contemporary freshness to the traditional mystery." (Library Journal)
"Malliet has mastered the delights of the cozy mystery so completely that she seems to be channeling Agatha Christie... with a hero who adds sex appeal to the mix... includes snippets of ironic humor...making the story even more delicious...winning." (Booklist)
"[A]n authentic village mystery that also pokes fun at the conventions...Malliet deftly juggles all of her characters...the murder plot here is quite devious and the motive quite evil.... The author provides a story that works on several levels, including the pleasure of a visit to a traditional English village." (January magazine)
"Not quite so cosy"
I was a bit disappointed by the level of swearing, it was completely superfluous and felt like an unnecessary effort to make it more modern. Definitely wouldn't be comparing it to Agatha Christie although the author clearly wanted you to see them as of the same ilk. The narrator was the only highlight.
Professional artist and art instructor. I listen to audible books when I work on paintings, sew or do housework. I also fall asleep listening to audio books. I like mysteries history science fiction young adult and biographies.
"Typically British in the style of Father Brown mysteries"
I liked it nice characterization good story a bit wandering but the mystery was solved in an interesting manner
"wicked Autumn"
A well told. It did give you clues along the way but they weren't overt enough to give the end away easily at all.
Make no mistake: We're all mammals here.
"How Tired"
No. It started out just fine, but by the end became nothing more than a tired homophobic cliché.
Spoiler alert: the closeted gay son is the murderer.
Saw it coming for miles.
Agatha Christie for Dummies. The first few chapters amused then momentum and came to a full stop. At this point the author lost any ability to create interest,instead moved to tell vs show. If you do manage to get to the denouement and have any question of how the murder was done and how the detective and Father Max managed to see the bleedingly obvious, the author spells it ALL out In exhaustive detail.
Retired bookkeeper, married, Mom of 2, two granddaughters. Love cozy mysteries.
"Book contains F-bombs"
Listened to 3.5 hours. One F-bomb in the beginning - I excused it, thinking "maybe it's the only one", and continued on, but no, I was wrong. I really didn't care for the story anyway. Gave up.
"Mediocre Match-up Lessens the Impact"
Audio books are tricky because the narrator needs to flesh out the story, help the listener to connect, yet not be too "actor-y." This narrator happens to be a little on the monotone side, (maybe not "actor-y" enough?) I think he's not be the best match for this book because the story itself is very wordy, -and not in a good way. For me, the writing is a little too self-consciously clever.
Bottom line, overwriting plus under narrated equals....mediocre experience.
"good introduction to new journey"
Slow pace, but kept me interested enough to wait for new turn. The characters are colorful, the plot is a puzzle. As a fan of Agatha Christie, I feel like coming back for a visit after long absence from home. The main character is growing on you as time and events going on. I believe I'm hooked for the rest of the books in this series.
"Homage to Miss Marple and her village?"
Yes, I would. It is a good story with a great narrator and a complex mystery is woven. The tone is a bit breezy and tongue-in-cheek, which makes it a good listen for lighter moments.
Learning about the background of Max Tudor, a former MI5 agent turned Anglican priest in the small village of Nether Monkslip.
Max Tudor although other characters, who are less developed are memorable. I hope that some of them continue on in the series.
I found it gripping and I enjoyed the homage to the traditional Golden Age of the British cozy mystery and the small town. I could imagine Miss Marple set down here. I like the town shops and the fair. On the other hand, I suspect that the author is am American because there are some non-Britishisms that I caught here and there, (but do not recollect).
I plan to continue with the series. It is the equivalent of "comfort food" for me. I hope that the minor characters will return and be better developed. Some readers might not be entirely comfortable with all aspects of this book--it is very contemporary despite the fact that I kept thinking it was the 1930's. Mentions of google or the internet sometimes seem jarring in contrast with the Olde Tyme Englishe Fayre.

The delights of mesmerizing Delhi
From colourful markets to cool parks, from sleek hotels to historic sights, the bustling multicultural capital of India offers something for every type of visitor.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
View 6 photoszoom
DELHI—It's late at night and we're careering down the streets of this capital city in a tiny motorized tuk-tuk, not far from the luscious Lodi Gardens. Three North Americans are squeezed into a space that's built for two folks of smaller stature.
A guy in his 50s pulls up alongside us at a busy intersection and strikes up what seems to be an innocent chat in English; "Where are you from?"; "What are you doing in India?", etc. He remarks that our tuk-tuk pilot is driving much too fast, then we bolt away from the intersection and leave him behind.
Two minutes later, he arrives at another traffic light a few seconds after we do. "How are you? Oh, if you need a tour, here's my card."
Earlier in the day, the elevators at my hotel weren't working properly. A woman in a lime green sari turned to me and said, "A nice hotel and the elevators don't work. You should ask for 10 per cent off."
I don't think everyone in India is out to make — or save — a buck. But there's no shortage of hustle in this capital city.
Mumbai has Bollywood. Agra has the Taj Mahal. Kerala and Goa have the beaches and northern India the Himalayas.
Bustling Delhi doesn't have that one iconic destination such as the Eiffel Tower or the Great Wall or the Sydney Opera House. But there's plenty to like.
Here a few things to look for.
OLD DELHI: I was startled to arrive in a taxi and look up and see a giant sign that said "Screw India." Turned out it was a hardware store, one of thousands of shops in and around Chandni Chowk that are crowded top to bottom with everything from kitchen appliances to dusty automobile parts and, naturally, bolts and bolts of brightly coloured cloth of every description. You can watch old men in mere scraps of clothing lead goats through tiny streets and alleys that feature a forest of overhead wires jumbled into snake-like contortions while roadside vendors hawk impossibly green and yellow mangoes, bright red and orange flowers or rolls of dried cow dung. You'll likely spot all sorts of animals in a couple hours in Delhi; the ever-present cows of India, of course, but also donkeys, camels, wild monkeys (not as many as other parts of India), chipmunks, dogs, cats and maybe an elephant or a water buffalo. If you hire a cycle rickshaw driver, you can easily get around Old Delhi and you'll probably only pay a few dollars for a couple hours.
RELAX IN A PARK: Delhi has a ton of greenery. One of the most popular parks is Lodi Gardens, with lovely walking paths, plenty of space for impromptu soccer or cricket matches, lots of nooks for lovers to gaze into each other's eyes. There also is a small pond and a fabulously beautiful old tomb, the Bara Gumbad, that dates to the late 1400s. The buildings here, in just the right shade of disrepair, are gorgeous around sunset. The parks around Humayon's Tomb also are worth exploring. The tomb is a predecessor of the Taj Mahal and its towering white dome is a fine example of Mughal-era architecture from the late 1500s. Also impressive are the more formal gardens around the President's Estate.
TOUR A TEMPLE: Jama Masjid is a massive Muslim mosque that dates to 1656 and is hard by the equally imposing Red Fort. It's only a couple bucks to get in and admire the massive courtyard and the towering minarets. You can climb one of the towers for fine views of the fort and the city in general. Try later in the day after the morning haze and smoke clear, our self-appointed guide ("tip, please," he says once he's shown us the view) explains. At the Gurudwara Bangla Sahib Sikh Temple, you'll learn about Sikhism and perhaps get a tour of the kitchen. Anyone who comes to the temple and wishes to eat is fed, and the kitchen is a riot of preparation work. Dozens of women and a few men and children are gathered around a central platform, shaping chapattis that will be filled with pickled fruits and vegetables. The bread is cooked a few feet behind them in giant fires, a man dressed all in white is using what looks like a long-handled shovel to turn the contents of a vat filled with chickpeas. The Lotus Temple in south Delhi is a Bahai place of worship with enormous white panels that make it look like the Sydney Opera House. There's a lovely garden and it's a great place for people-watching. Your best photos will come in the morning with the light behind you or when it's lit up at dusk.
CHECK THE SPICE MARKET: At the A. Kumar shop in the spice market (the manager insists he was shown on TV in Canada for a series of Presidents' Choice supermarket commercials) you can sample from dozens of masala mixes to take home, or stock up on ingredients for chai tea. There are thousands of mixes and varieties of spice on display, reflecting the multiple cuisines of the country. "We satisfy not just your stomach," Kumar tells me. "Even a small bite of food with our spices and you'll be satisfied." Be sure to bargain; it's not uncommon for westerners at some Delhi shops to be asked to pay double the price an Indian would pay for some products. Take a few moments to wander upstairs in the colourful, faded Gadodia market building, where the stacked, burlap bags filled with fiery dried peppers are enough to make your eyes water from two metres away and where you can get fine views of the city and rooftops covered with drying, red flowers. Just watch your step on the stairs on the way down. A railing I was using collapsed and tumbled 15 feet down a stairwell when I visited.
SHOP AROUND M: Block has bookstores and plenty of places for coffee, including the colourful Mocha. There also are chains such as KFC, where you might find a security guard outside with a six-foot rifle that looks like something from the battle of the Plains of Abraham. The trendy Khan market has Converse low-rise sneakers in all colours of the rainbow for $30 or so and the Droshti optical shop recently had RayBans for $85. Hauz Khas has terrific restaurants and shops with Bollywood posters.
HISTORIC SITES: India Gate is a WWI memorial where locals gathered to celebrate India's World Cup cricket win. The Gandhi Museum keeps alive the memory of Mahatma Gandhi. There's also an Indira Gandhi Museum in memory of the former prime minister. Qutab Minar is a 73-metre high tower begun in the 12th century.
DINING: Karim's in old Delhi is famous for Mughal specialties and it's $5 or $6 for an entrée. Lodi Gardens has a lovely patio with torch lights and a mix of Mediterranean and Indian foods at moderate prices. On the upper floor on a back street in Hauz Khas, Gunpowder serves wonderfully spicy Keralan cuisine.
SLEEPING: The Intercontinental Nehru Place in south Delhi has a lovely restaurant and quiet pool. It's Western-style but feels Indian enough to make a nice introduction to the city. Rates for July are listed for as little as $156.
The Taj Mahal is a five-star affair in a quiet, leafy part of town with a gorgeous pool, a spa and a fabulous, high-end Indian restaurant called Varq. Rooms in July were listed as low as $190.
Folks on a budget can try places near the main train station.
AVOIDING: Summers are exceedingly hot and winter can be a bit chilly. Fall and early spring are good bets.

Gaza mortar shells target Israeli forces searching for Hamas tunnels; Israel responds with airstrike, tank fire and declares border area a closed military zone; Hamas evacuates two schools as a precautionary measure.21:44 04.05.16 | 4 comments
Of course those cunning Hamas propaganda masterminds must have sneaked into the mill during the "war" and threw the half exploded bomb in there for the UN investigators to find and make the Israelis look bad. That's clearly the only logical explanation.
