It is Winter Carnival in Quebec City, bitterly cold and surpassingly beautiful. Chief Inspector Armand Gamache has come not to join the revels but to recover from an investigation gone hauntingly wrong. But violent death is inescapable, even in the apparent sanctuary of the Literary and Historical Society--where an obsessive historian's quest for the remains of the founder of Quebec, Samuel de Champlain, ends in murder. Could a secret buried with Champlain for nearly four hundred years be so dreadful that someone would kill to protect it?
Meanwhile, Gamache is receiving disquieting letters from the village of Three Pines, where beloved Bistro owner Olivier was recently convicted of murder. "It doesn't make sense," Olivier's partner writes every day. "He didn't do it, you know."
As past and present collide in this astonishing novel, Gamache must relive a terrible event from his own past before he can begin to bury his dead.

Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Few writers in any genre can match Penny's ability to combine heartbreak and hope in the same scene."
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The best yet, a true tour de force of storytelling….Penny hits every note perfectly in what is one of the most elaborately constructed and remarkably moving mysteries in years."
Booklist (starred review)
"Superb….brilliantly provocative...will appeal to fans of literary fiction, as well as to mystery lovers."
Library Journal (starred review)
"[Penny's] beautifully elegiac sixth book interweaves three storylines while plumbing the depths of Gamache's grief. The result is sophisticated and movingher best yet."
People (4 stars)
"Louise Penny's portrait of Quebec City is as lovingly detailed and evocative as anything she has written, and her control over this intricate blending of history and mystery is absolute. Furthermore, the deepening of Gamache's character is profoundly satisfying. The book, obviously, is a must-read for her fans, and demonstrates once again that she is in the first rank of crime-fiction writers in Canada, or indeed, in the world."
Globe and Mail
"Penny seamlessly weaves subplots into her elegant book, along with rich portraits of Inspector Gamache and the endearingly cracked characters around him."
Seattle Times
"Its shocking final solution here is brilliantly conceived and executed."
The Denver Post
"Penny, always a demon researcher, is at the top of her game in the new book at combining real history with her own fictions. In addition to a great deal of Champlain back story - only a specialist in early Quebec history could judge whether Penny is letting her imagination run rampant - she presents in passing theories about Gen. Montcalm's failures at the Plains of Abraham and an assessment of the sad dwindling of the English presence in Quebec City."
Toronto Star
"Fans who were upset by the shocking outcome of Penny's 'The Brutal Telling' will be pleased that she is not quite done with that unhappy episode in our favorite village. This series just keeps getting better."
Charlotte Observer
"Louise Penny commands a deep and disturbing darkness of the soul -- with the cost of redemption resolutely figured into the consequences."
Brattleboro Reformer
"With a rich depth of creativity, a stylish sense of language and an unerring instinct for the defining aspects of humanity, Penny explores eternal truths and, in so doing, shows us ourselves."
Richmond Times Dispatch
The sixth appearance of Armand Gamache, North America's most humane detective.
Chief Inspector Gamache of the Canadian Sûreté and his associate Jean Guy Beauvoir are slowly healing from a case that turned horribly bad. Gamache spends hours reading in Québec's Literary and Historical Society library. Beauvoir, at Gamache's instigation, reopens the Three Pines murder enquiry that sent B&B owner Olivier to prison. While Beauvoir quietly interrogates the gently eccentric residents of Three Pines (The Brutal Telling, 2009, etc.) to see whether anyone else had motive to kill a hermit for his antique treasures, happenstance lands Gamache in the middle of another murder case. Augustin Renaud, obsessed with finding the burial place of idolized Québec city founder Samuel de Champlain, lies dead in the library's basement. The riddles of who killed him and why force Gamache and his aging mentor Emile to examine 400 years of Québec history. As they delve for clues among the library's old journals and diaries, they focus ever more closely on the endless rancor between the French and the English.
Gamache's excruciating grief over a wrong decision, Beauvoir's softening toward the unconventional, a plot twist so unexpected it's chilling, and a description of Québec intriguing enough to make you book your next vacation there, all add up to a superior read. Bring on the awards.

Read an Excerpt
BURY YOUR DEAD (Chapter 1)
Up the stairs they raced, taking them two at a time, trying to be as quiet as possible. Gamache struggled to keep his breathing steady, as though he was sitting at home, as though he had not a care in the world.
Sir? came the young voice over Gamaches headphones.
You must believe me, son. Nothing bad will happen to you.
He hoped the young agent couldnt hear the strain in his voice, the flattening as the Chief Inspector fought to keep his voice authoritative, certain.
I believe you.
They reached the landing. Inspector Beauvoir stopped, staring at his Chief. Gamache looked at his watch.
47 seconds.
Still time.
In his headphones the agent was telling him about the sunshine and how good it felt on his face.
The rest of the team made the landing, tactical vests in place, automatic weapons drawn, eyes sharp. Trained on the Chief. Beside him Inspector Beauvoir was also waiting for a decision. Which way? They were close. Within feet of their quarry.
Gamache stared down one dark, dingy corridor in the abandoned factory then down the other.
They looked identical. Light scraped through the broken, grubby windows lining the halls and with it came the December day.
43 seconds.
He pointed decisively to the left and they ran, silently, toward the door at the end. As he ran Gamache gripped his rifle and spoke calmly into the headset.
Theres no need to worry.
Theres forty seconds left, sir. Each word was exhaled as though the man on the other end was having difficulty breathing.
Just listen to me, said Gamache, thrusting his hand toward a door. The team surged ahead.
36 seconds.
I wont let anything happen to you, said Gamache, his voice convincing, commanding, daring the young agent to contradict. Youll be having dinner with your family tonight.
Yes sir.
The tactical team surrounded the closed door with its frosted, filthy window. Darkened.
Gamache paused, staring at it, his hand hanging in the air ready to give the signal to break it down. To rescue his agent.
29 seconds.
Beside him Beauvoir strained, waiting to be loosed.
Too late, Chief Inspector Gamache realized hed made a mistake.
Give it time, Armand.
Avec le temps? Gamache returned the older mans smile and made a fist of his right hand. To stop the trembling. A tremble so slight he was certain the waitress in the Quebec City caf hadnt noticed. The two students across the way tapping on their laptops wouldnt notice. No one would notice.
Except someone very close to him.
He looked at mile Comeau, crumbling a flaky croissant with sure hands. He was nearing eighty now, Gamaches mentor and former chief. His hair was white and groomed, his eyes through his glasses a sharp blue. He was slender and energetic, even now. Though with each visit Armand Gamache noticed a slight softening about the face, a slight slowing of the movements.
Avec le temps.
Widowed five years, mile Comeau knew the power, and length, of time.
Gamaches own wife, Reine-Marie, had left at dawn that morning after spending a week with them at miles stone home within the old walled city of Qubec. Theyd had quiet dinners together in front of the fire, theyd walked the narrow snow-covered streets. Talked. Were silent. Read the papers, discussed events. The three of them. Four, if you counted their German shepherd, Henri.
And most days Gamache had gone off on his own to a local library, to read.
mile and Reine-Marie had given him that, recognizing that right now he needed society but he also needed solitude.
And then it was time for her to leave. After saying good-bye to mile she turned to her husband. Tall, solid, a man who preferred good books and long walks to any other activity, he looked more like a distinguished professor in his mid-fifties than the head of the most prestigious homicide unit in Canada. The Sret du Qubec. He walked her to her car, scraping the morning ice from the windshield.
You dont have to go, you know, he said, smiling down at her as they stood in the brittle, new day. Henri sat in a snow bank nearby and watched.
I know. But you and mile need time together. I could see how you were looking at each other.
The longing? laughed the Chief Inspector. Id hoped wed been more discreet.
A wife always knows. She smiled, looking into his deep brown eyes. He wore a hat, but still she could see his graying hair, and the slight curl where it came out from under the fabric. And his beard. Shed slowly become used to the beard. For years hed had a moustache, but just lately, since it happened, hed grown the trim beard.
She paused. Should she say it? It was never far from her mind now, from her mouth. The words she knew were useless, if any words could be described as that. Certainly she knew they could not make the thing happen. If they could she would surround him with them, encase him with her words.
Come home when you can, she said instead, her voice light.
He kissed her. I will. In a few days, a week at the most. Call me when you get there.
Daccord. She got into the car.
Je taime, he said, putting his gloved hand into the window to touch her shoulder.
Watch out, her mind screamed. Be safe. Come home with me. Be careful, be careful, be careful.
She put her own gloved hand over his. Je taime.
And then she was gone, back to Montreal, glancing in the rear-view mirror to see him standing on the deserted early morning street, Henri naturally at his side. Both watching her, until she disappeared.
The Chief Inspector continued to stare even after shed turned the corner. Then he picked up a shovel and slowly cleared the nights fluffy snowfall from the front steps. Resting for a moment, his arms crossed over the handle of the shovel, he marveled at the beauty as the first light hit the new snow. It looked more pale blue than white, and here and there it sparkled like tiny prisms where the flakes had drifted and collected, then caught, remade, and returned the light. Like something alive and giddy.
Life in the old walled city was like that. Both gentle and dynamic, ancient and vibrant.
Picking up a handful of snow, the Chief Inspector mashed it into a ball in his fist. Henri immediately stood, his tail going so hard his entire rear swayed. His eyes burning into the ball.
Gamache tossed it into the air and the dog leapt, his mouth closing over the snowball, and chomping down. Landing on all fours Henri was once again surprised that the thing that had been so solid had suddenly disappeared.
Gone, so quickly.
But next time would be different.
Gamache chuckled. He might be right.
Just then mile stepped out from his doorway, bundled in an immense winter coat against the biting February cold.
Ready? The elderly man clamped a toque onto his head, pulling it down so that it covered his ears and forehead, and put on thick mitts, like boxing gloves.
For what? A siege?
For breakfast, mon vieux. Come along, before someone gets the last croissant.
He knew how to motivate his former subordinate. Hardly pausing for Gamache to replace the shovel, mile headed off up the snowy street. Around them the other residents of Quebec City were waking up. Coming out into the tender morning light to shovel, to scrape the snow from their cars, to walk to the boulangerie for their morning baguette and caf.
The two men and Henri set out along rue St-Jean, past the restaurants and tourist shops, to a tiny side street called rue Couillard, and there they found Chez Temporel.
Theyd been coming to this caf for fifteen years, ever since Superintendent mile Comeau had retired to old Quebec City, and Gamache had come to visit, to spend time with his mentor, and to help with the little chores that piled up. Shoveling, stacking wood for the fireplace, sealing windows against drafts. But this visit was different. Like no other in all the winters Chief Inspector Gamache had been coming to Quebec City.
This time it was Gamache who needed help.
So, mile leaned back, cupping his bowl of caf au lait in slender hands. Hows the research going?
I cant yet find any references to Captain Cook actually meeting Bougainville before the Battle of Qubec, but it was 250 years ago. Records are scattered and werent well kept. But I know theyre in there, said Gamache. Its an amazing library, mile. The volumes go back centuries.
Comeau watched his companion talk about sifting through arcane books in a local library and the tidbits he was unearthing about a battle long ago fought, and lost. At least, from his point of view lost. Was there a spark in those beloved eyes at last? Those eyes hed stared into so often at the scenes of dreadful crimes as theyd hunted murderers. As theyd raced through woods and villages and fields, through clues and evidence and suspicions. Adown Titanic glooms of chasmed fears, mile remembered the quote as he remembered those days. Yes, he thought, that described it. Chasmed fears. Both their own, and the murderers. Across tables across the province he and Gamache had sat. Just like this.
But now it was time to rest from murder. No more killing, no more deaths. Armand had seen too much of that lately. No, better to bury himself in history, in lives long past. An intellectual pursuit, nothing more.
Beside them Henri stirred and Gamache instinctively lowered his hand to stroke the shepherds head and reassure him. And once again mile noted the slight tremble. Barely there now. Stronger at times. Sometimes it disappeared completely. It was a tell-tale tremble, and mile knew the terrible tale it had to tell.
He wished he could take that hand and hold it steady and tell him it would be all right. Because it would, he knew.
With time.
Watching Armand Gamache he noticed again the jagged scar on his left temple and the trim beard hed grown. So that people would stop staring. So that people would not recognize the most recognizable police officer in Qubec.
But, of course, it didnt matter. It wasnt them Armand Gamache was hiding from.
The waitress at Chez Temporel arrived with more coffee.
Merci, Danielle, the two men said at once and she left, smiling at the two men who looked so different but seemed so similar.
They drank their coffees and ate pain au chocolat and croissants aux amandes and talked about the Carnaval de Qubec, starting that night. Occasionally theyd lapse into silence, watching the men and women hurrying along the icy cold street outside to their jobs. Someone had scratched a three-leaf clover into a slight indent in the center of their wooden table. mile rubbed it with his finger.
And wondered when Armand would want to talk about what happened.
It was ten thirty and the monthly board meeting of the Literary and Historical Society was about to start. For many years the meetings had been held in the evening, when the library was closed, but then it was noticed that fewer and fewer members were showing up.
So the Chairman, Porter Wilson, had changed the time. At least, he thought hed changed the time. At least, it had been reported in the board minutes that it had been his motion, though he privately seemed to remember arguing against it.
And yet, here they were meeting in the morning, and had been for some years. Still, the other members had adjusted, as had Porter. He had to, since it had apparently been his idea.
The fact the board had adjusted at all was a miracle. The last time theyd been asked to change anything it had been the worn leather on the Lit and His chairs, and that had been sixty-three years ago. Members still remembered fathers and mothers, grandparents, ranged on either side of the upholstered Mason-Dixon Line. Remembered vitriolic comments made behind closed doors, behind backs, but before children. Who didnt forget, sixty-three years later, that devious alteration from old black leather to new black leather.
Pulling out his chair at the head of the table Porter noticed it was looking worn. He sat quickly so that no one, least of all himself, could see it.
Small stacks of paper were neatly arranged in front of his and every other place, marching down the wooden table. Elizabeth MacWhirters doing. He examined Elizabeth. Plain, tall and slim. At least, she had been that when the world was young. Now she just looked freeze-dried. Like those ancient cadavers pulled from glaciers. Still obviously human, but withered and gray. Her dress was blue and practical and a very good cut and material, he suspected. After all, she was one of those MacWhirters. A venerable and moneyed family. One not given to displays of wealth, or brains. Her brother had sold the shipping empire about a decade too late. But there was still money there. She was a little dull, he thought, but responsible. Not a leader, not a visionary. Not the sort to hold a community in peril together. Like him. And his father before him. And his grandfather.
For the tiny English community within the walls of old Quebec City had been in peril for many generations. It was a kind of perpetual peril that sometimes got better and sometimes got worse, but never disappeared completely. Just like the English.
Porter Wilson had never fought a war, being just that much too young, and then too old. Not, anyway, an official war. But he and the other members of his board knew themselves to be in a battle nevertheless. And one, he secretly suspected, they were losing.
At the door Elizabeth MacWhirter greeted the other board members as they arrived and looked over at Porter Wilson already seated at the head of the table, reading over his notes.
Hed accomplished many things in his life, Elizabeth knew. The choir hed organized, the amateur theater, the wing for the nursing home. All built by force of will and personality. And all less than they might have been had he sought and accepted advice.
The very force of his personality both created and crippled. How much more could he have accomplished had he been kinder? But then, dynamism and kindness often didnt go together, though when they did they were unstoppable.
Porter was stoppable. Indeed, he stopped himself. And now the only board that could stand him was the Lit and His. Elizabeth had known Porter for seventy years, since shed seen him eating lunch alone, every day, at school and gone to keep him company. Porter decided she was sucking up to one of the great Wilson clan, and treated her with disdain.
Still, she kept him company. Not because she liked him but because she knew even then something it would take Porter Wilson decades to realize. The English of Quebec City were no longer the juggernauts, no longer the steamships, no longer the gracious passenger liners of the society and economy.
They were a life raft. Adrift. And you dont make war on others in the raft.
Elizabeth MacWhirter had figured that out. And when Porter rocked the boat, she righted it.
She looked at Porter Wilson and saw a small, energetic, touped man. His hair, where not imported, was dyed a shade of black the chairs would envy. His eyes were brown and darted about nervously.
Mr. Blake arrived first. The oldest board member, he practically lived at the Lit and His. He took off his coat, revealing his uniform of gray flannel suit, laundered white shirt, blue silk tie. He was always perfectly turned out. A gentleman, who managed to make Elizabeth feel young and beautiful. Shed had a crush on him when shed been an awkward teen and he in his dashing twenties.
Hed been attractive then and sixty years later he was still attractive, though his hair was thin and white and his once fine body had rounded and softened. But his eyes were smart and lively, and his heart was large and strong.
Elizabeth, Mr. Blake smiled and took her hand, holding it for a moment. Never too long, never too familiar. Just enough, so that she knew shed been held.
He took his seat. A seat, Elizabeth thought, that should be replaced. But then, honestly, so should Mr. Blake. So should they all.
What would happen when they died out and all that was left of the board of the Literary and Historical Society were worn, empty chairs?
Right, we need to make this fast. We have a practice in an hour.
Tom Hancock arrived, followed by Ken Haslam. The two were never far apart these days, being unlikely team members in the ridiculous upcoming race.
Tom was Elizabeths triumph. Her hope. And not simply because he was the minister of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church next door.
He was young and new to the community, having moved to Quebec City three years earlier. At thirty-three he was about half the age of the next youngest board member. Not yet cynical, not yet burned out. He still believed his church would find new parishioners, the English community would suddenly produce babies with the desire to stay in Quebec City. He believed the Qubec government when it promised job equality for Anglophones. And health care in their own language. And education. And nursing homes so that when all hope was lost, they might die with their mother tongue on caregivers lips.
Hed managed to inspire the board to believe maybe all wasnt lost. And even, maybe, this wasnt really a war. Wasnt some dreadful extension of the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, one which the English lost this time. Elizabeth glanced up at the oddly petite statue of General James Wolfe. The martyred hero of the battle 250 years ago hovered over the library of the Literary and Historical Society, like a wooden accusation. To witness their petty battles and to remind them, in perpetuity, of the great battle hed fought, for them. Where hed died, but not before triumphing on that blood-soaked farmers field. Ending the war, and securing Qubec for the English. On paper.
And now from his corner of the lovely old library General Wolfe looked down on them. In every way, Elizabeth suspected.
So, Ken, Tom said, taking his place beside the older man. You in shape? Ready for the race?
Elizabeth didnt hear Ken Haslams response. But then she didnt expect to. Kens thin lips moved, words were formed, but never actually heard.
They all paused, thinking perhaps this was the day he would produce a word above a whisper. But they were wrong. Still, Tom Hancock continued to talk to Ken, as though they were actually having a conversation.
Elizabeth loved Tom for that as well. For not giving in to the notion that because Ken was quiet he was stupid. Elizabeth knew him to be anything but. In his mid-sixties he was the most successful of all of them, building a business of his own. And now, having achieved that Ken Haslam had done something else remarkable.
Hed signed up for the treacherous ice canoe race. Signed on to Tom Hancocks team. He would be the oldest member of the team, the oldest member of any team. Perhaps the oldest racer ever.
Watching Ken, quiet and calm and Tom, young, vital, handsome, Elizabeth wondered if maybe they understood each other very well after all. Perhaps both had things they werent saying.
Not for the first time Elizabeth wondered about Tom Hancock. Why hed chosen to minister to them, and why he stayed within the walls of old Quebec City. It took a certain personality, Elizabeth knew, to choose to live in what amounted to a fortress.
Right, lets start, said Porter, sitting up even straighter.
Winnie isnt here yet, said Elizabeth.
We cant wait.
Why not? Tom asked, his voice relaxed. But still Porter heard a challenge.
Because its already past ten thirty and youre the one who wanted to make this quick, Porter said, pleased at having scored a point.
Once again, thought Elizabeth, Porter managed to look at a friend and see a foe.
Quite right. Still, Im happy to wait, smiled Tom, unwilling to take to the field.
Well, Im not. First order of business?
They discussed the purchase of new books for a while before Winnie arrived. Small and energetic, she was fierce in her loyalty. To the English community, to the Lit and His, but mostly to her friend.
She marched in, gave Porter a withering look, and sat next to Elizabeth.
I see you started without me, she said to him. I told you Id be late.
You did, but that doesnt mean we had to wait. Were discussing new books to buy.
And it didnt occur to you this might be an issue best discussed with the librarian?
Well, youre here now.
The rest of the board watched this as though at Wimbledon, though with considerably less interest. It was pretty clear who had the balls, and who would win.
Fifty minutes later theyd almost reached the end of the agenda. There was one oatmeal cookie left, the members staring but too polite to take it. Theyd discussed the heating bills, the membership drive, the ratty old volumes left to them in wills, instead of money. The books were generally sermons, or lurid Victorian poetry, or the dreary daily diary of a trip up the Amazon or into Africa to shoot and stuff some poor wild creature.
They discussed having another sale of books, but after the last debacle that was a short discussion.
Elizabeth took notes and had to force herself not to lip-synch to each board members comments. It was a liturgy. Familiar, soothing in a strange way. The same words repeated over and over every meeting. For ever and ever. Amen.
A sound suddenly interrupted that comforting liturgy, a sound so unique and startling Porter almost jumped out of his chair.
What was that? whispered Ken Haslam. For him it was almost a shout.
Its the doorbell, I think, said Winnie.
The doorbell? asked Porter. I didnt know we had one.
Put in in 1897 after the Lieutenant Governor visited and couldnt get in, said Mr. Blake, as though hed been there. Never heard it myself.
But he heard it again. A long, shrill bell. Elizabeth had locked the front door to the Literary and Historical Society as soon as everyone had arrived. A precaution against being interrupted. Though since hardly anyone ever visited it was more habit than necessity. Shed also hung a sign on the thick wooden door. Board Meeting in Progress. Library will reopen at noon. Thank you. Merci.
The bell sounded again. Someone was leaning on it, finger jammed into the button.
Still they stared at each other.
Ill go, said Elizabeth.
Porter looked down at his papers, the better part of valor.
No, Winnie stood. Ill go. You all stay here.
They watched Winnie disappear down the corridor and heard her feet on the wooden stairs. There was silence. Then a minute later her feet on the stairs again.
They listened to the footsteps clicking and clacking closer. She arrived but stopped at the door, her face pale and serious.
Theres someone there. Someone who wants to speak to the board.
Well, demanded Porter, remembering he was their leader, now that the elderly woman had gone to the door. Who is it?
Augustin Renaud, she said and saw the looks on their faces. Had she said Dracula they could not have been more startled. Though, for the English, startled meant raised eyebrows.
Every eyebrow in the room was raised, and if General Wolfe could have managed it, he would have.
I left him outside, she said into the silence.
As if to underscore that the doorbell shrieked again.
What should we do? Winnie asked, but instead of turning to Porter she looked at Elizabeth. They all did.
We need to take a vote, Elizabeth said at last. Should we see him?
Hes not on the agenda, Mr. Blake pointed out.
Thats right, said Porter, trying to wrestle back control. But even he looked at Elizabeth.
Whos in favor of letting Augustin Renaud speak to the board? Elizabeth asked.
Not a hand was raised.
Elizabeth lowered her pen, not taking note of the vote. Giving one curt nod she stood. Ill tell him.
Ill go with you, said Winnie.
No, dear, you stay here. Ill be right back. I mean, really? She paused at the door, taking in the board and General Wolfe above. How bad could it be?
But they all knew the answer to that. When Augustin Renaud came calling it was never good.

Louise Penny's series of books featuring Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, continues with this brilliant book, which delves into the mind and soul of her protagonist. He is trying to sort out his life and feelings after a deadly kidnapping and shootout which resulted in the deaths of a number of police officers as well as serious injury to himself and others of his comrades. Gamache holds himself responsible for not being able to defuse the situation without such a terrible price. We are given glimpses of what occurred, through flashbacks, while Gamache, who is on leave, delves into the mystery surrounding the death of a rather eccentric and prominent, though not well liked citizen of Quebec. The body was found in the Literary and Historical Society, a little known bastion of English life buried in the heart of French Quebec. More than just a body is uncovered as feelings run high in this land of split loyalties and centuries old animosities. Gamache's self doubt brought on by the recent tragedy also insinuates itself to his past, as he starts to question the validity of a recent murder conviction for a crime in the town of Tree Pines. It would be helpful although not essential, at this point, if the reader has already read the previous book in the series, "The Brutal Telling." The author skillfully balances all these themes and a rich cast of characters, while managing to touch the heart of both her characters and the reader. Penny breathes life into her creations and takes our breath away at the same time.
Yes ... it is another Chief Inspector Gamache mystery by Louise Penny but it is NOT just another one - it is NOT just more of the same. This is a story that shows more of Gamache as a "human" character as he is recovering physically, mentally, and even emotionally from his last case. We also see how he even admits to himself how he has made mistakes in that case as well as another case from a previous book. He is on vacation and is asked to consult in a murder case involving a local historian. But there is more to the story than just his involvement in this case. We learn about a little Quebec history, personal history about the inspector, and even an investigation being conductd by one of his team members on a case in Three Pines. There is a lot going on and a lot of interesting characters to keep the interest. I first discovered the author and this character through my mystery reading book club. Penny is definitely on my list of authors to read.
As the latest installment of the Armand Gamache Series, Bury Your Dead found our Chief Inspector in Quebec City with his mentor Emile trying to recover both his body and spirit after a horrific terror threat that left several in his department dead and many others wounded. To escape the horrors in his mind, the Chief finds himself drawn to the history books at the local English "Lit and His" Society. Unfortunately, the Lit and His also drew in Augustin Renaud, a rather unusual local, famous for his obsession in the search of the body of Quebec's founder, Samuel de Champlain. Renaud's search had ended, along with his own life, in the basement of the Lit and His. Being recognized by some of the officials, Gamache was asked to assist with this bizarre case and although reluctant at first, accepted the challenge and went to work trying to find out more about Renaud; why he would be in the basement of the Lit and His to begin with; and who would want him dead. The search sends him over centuries of time and along many unexpected roads. As the Chief was recovering in Quebec, his right hand, Inspector Jean Guy, was recovering in Three Pines. However, like the Chief, Jean Guy also found himself with a little project during his recovery time. As a favor to the Chief, Jean Guy was taking a fresh look at a murder case - a murder case that he himself helped to close there just recently. It didn't take long for a closed case to become re-opened and matters thought certain to be questioned again. This mystery is very well written with brilliant depictions of the magnificent Quebec winter landscapes and well developed characters as real as you and me. Penny combines picturesque descriptions with some Canadian history, fantastic characters, a full range of emotions, and a rock solid mystery that doesn't hint to revelation until the very end. Though having read the prior books in this series could be of help with the background information, this book can certainly be read and enjoyed on its own. This is a truly fantastic series that I would recommend to anyone!
This is my favorite book of the year. Penny's prose, whether inside Inspector Gamache's head or out, pulls the varied threads of this amazing story together so well. Gamache is recuperating in Quebec City, dabbling in some historical research when a murder involving another driven historian is discovered. Unofficially, Gamache is invited to participate in the investigation. In the meantime, Three Pines still flutters through his mind, with daily notes from bistro owner Gabri. Finally, he sends Inspector Beauvoir, who is also recovering from their most recent case to Three Pines, to take a fresh look at who may have killed the hermit. Although the quirky characters of Three Pines may be hard to keep up with if you haven't read the previous book, The Brutal Telling, I think you could muddle through if you had to, but would be better off for reading that mystery first.
This book is just breath-taking. Louise truly knows how to combine suspense, humor and heartbreak into a fascinating story. Bury Your Dead gives us a deeper look into the heart and soul of Armande Gamache while also diving into the history of Quebec (now next on my list of places I want to visit!) and, of course, dropping in on Three Pines. Louise expertly intertwines all of these storylines into a compelling, often sad, but genuinely beautiful book. As another reader suggests, do start with Still Life and read the other books first -- they build on one another and are all wonderful in themselves -- but this one just tops them all!
Borrowing from another review, this is the most ambitious plot in the series. It shows the growth of Penny's story telling skill. The beautiful historic background, the incorporation of Canadian history and present day politics was fantastic. The movement from present day to the past kept the story building in a manner that keeps one drawn into the story. The touching insight into Armand, Jean-Guy and Reine-Marie relationships brought me to tears. Beautiful.
This is a stunning story. As it opens, Armand Gamache is reliving the worst moments of his life. A search and rescue mission has gone terribly wrong; people under his command have died and others have been badly wounded. Gamache lives with the decisions he made but he is steeped in sorrow because of what he believes were his bad choices. He is consumed by , "if only.." Gamache is on leave and he and his wife, Reine-Marie, are visiting with Gamache's old chief and mentor, Emile Comeau. Armand and Reine-Marie visit Emile frequently since the death of his wife, all three enjoying each other's company. When Reine-Marie returns to Montreal, Gamache stays, enjoying quiet days at the Literary and Historical Society, an organization dedicated to preserving and protecting all things English in French Quebec. Gamache is researching Captain Cook and the atmosphere in the beautiful old library is calming to the soul and stimulating to the intellect. The Lit and His, as it is known, is an oasis in Quebec City, a quiet place out of time gone by. Gamache looks forward to his meals with Emile, their evening conversations, and his days at the Lit and His. He has discovered a rhythm to his days that is healing him body and soul. Then the peace of the library is shattered by the discovery of a body in the basement of the library. Augustin Renaud is known throughout Quebec City as a pest. Renaud is on a quest to find the location of the grave of Samuel de Champlain, the Father of Canada. Renaud has made it his mission to find Champlain's bones so that they can be interred in a place worthy of the man who created Canada for the French. Renaud is not deterred by the fact that Champlain died in 1635. What was Renaud doing in the Lit and His? Did Renaud really think that the bones had been hidden by the English for nearly 400 years? Gamache may be on leave but he can't turn his back on something that happened almost under his nose. Gamache has not forgotten Three Pines. Gabri won't allow it. Everyday Gamache receives a letter from Gabri with the same message: Why would Olivier move the body? Olivier didn't do it. When Olivier was convicted of killing the hermit in the woods, Gamache knew that he had lost good friends in Three Pines but he believed that the evidence was clear in pointing to Olivier as the killer. But, as he reads Gabri's note everyday, Gamache wonders if he did get it right. He knows he won't be welcome in Three Pines so he sends Inspector Jean-Guy Beauvoir to reassess the motive and the means behind the killing of the hermit in the cabin in the woods. The author balances three distinct stories in this novel: the murder of Augustin Renaud, the murder of the hermit in Three Pines, and the tragic police action that went so terribly wrong. Betrayal, jealousy, disloyalty, anger, and revenge flow through the story. There is deep sadness and loss. Penny does not spare her characters and she doesn't spare her readers. But there is also love and commitment. BURY YOUR DEAD is a powerful story. It is a story of redemption but a redemption buried in pain. Penny owns the reader right to the very last line and then, again, well past the closing of the cover. Had I been a voter for the Anthony Award, I would have cast a ballot for SHANGHAI MOON. It is BURY YOUR DEAD that should net Louise Penny many awards for a story that echoes long past the end of the story.
"Bury Your Dead" was a real page turner. There were stories beneath the main story and all were resolved in a manner that made each one seem like the main story. I've put Louise Penny on my list of authors to look for in the future, especially for some real mystery. I love the writing style and the way unfamiliar words in French were explained.
Louise Penny writes sweet and lovely books set in Canada. How can murder mysteries be sweet and lovely? Just try the latest from Penny and you'll see for yourself what her pacing, prose and the quiet humanity of her characters bring to her stories. Chief Inspector Armond Gamache and Inspector Jean Guy Beauvoir are both recovering from wounds sustained in a foiled terrorist plot; physical as well as emotional. Gamache is in Quebec with his long time mentor exploring the history of that city when he becomes involved in a murder that threatens to further divide the English and the separatists, the French speaking majority. Beauvoir is back in Three Pines presumably as a tourist this time, but actually to take another look at the murder of an unknown man called the Hermit. Rich in Quebec history, centering on Samuel de Champlain, the author expertly and lyrically weaves the concurrent stories, making BURY YOUR DEAD an absolute pleasure to read. Lynn Kimmerle
Short review: It's an incredible book and I am very lucky that I had access to an Advanced Reader's Copy. You, gentle reader, would enjoy it most if you read the first five books in the Three Pines mystery series as they all build in terms of character and story to make the experience far more rich and rewarding. And a longer (if you wnat to keep reading) version: My love affair with the books of Louise Penny began two years ago when I read the first of her Three Pines mysteries, "Still Life". I have read a lot of mysteries (including 120 in the last three years) and Louise Penny has become one of my favorite writers. All of the mysteries I read have their fair share of good and evil, usually a corpse or two and someone searching for the answers. In Louise's world, her people are so complex and fascinating (beginning with the Surete's Armand Gamache) that you wish you could move into the small Canadian village of Three Pines and join them for a cup of cafe au lait and a croissant. So what if people seem to die there (of unnatural causes) at a higher per capita rate than almost anywhere else! It's a world of good friends and great food and challenging weather, of art and poetry and greed and mayhem and undercurrents. So many wonderful undercurrents. Penny does not underestimate the readers' intelligence and for that we can be grateful. This newest book, "Bury Your Dead" takes you to several locations throughout Canada, but her skill in tying it all back to Three Pines and the residents there is wonderful. I have no desire to spoil any of the storyline(s) for you, so I will just say that if you like your reading to include sly wit, heartbreaking emotions and a deep understanding of what makes us human, this is the book (and series) for you. Enjoy.
This is without a doubt the best book I ever read. I've read the whole series so far but this book compelled me do something I've never done. As soon as I finished it I went back to the beginning and read it all over again, this time to appreciate how beautifully it was constructed. For me, Louise Penny managed to write the perfect book
Magnifique! This series just gets better and better. Couldn't put it down. Highly recommend.
I was absolutely intrigued and delighted by the Armand G. Series. His optimism, patience, respect, and joi de vie were a model for me. I began to count my blessings, more fully use all of my senses, appreciate others, and laugh. I particularly relished the humderous interchanges in the first few books. This was a good read, but not a wonderful read that I had come to expect from Louise Penny. In the past, l wanted to find myself lost in 3 Pines. Or Quebec. The characters may be more realistic, but... Judie
Too many plots to keep tract of. Author jumps from one to the other with out any warning. Had to read parts over. This was a book from my book club, I think should of probably read the first books in series before this one.
This was the first Louise Penny book I happened to pick up. Although not the first in the series, i had no difficulty identifying the characters -- and truly enjoyed her descriptions of the environs -- walking in bitter wind and snow -- Henri`, dog, having to pick up each foot separately from freezing to the walkway. Impressed by historical references and "tension" between francophones and anglos. I have now made a list of her other publications, to take on my next visit to the book store. A VERY good read !
I loved this book after I got past the Quebecisms and French phrases. I was glad I made myself hang in there til the end. The story is excellent with great character development.
This book was sent to me to review, and if I hadn't felt an obligation to do so, I might not have finished it. This was a difficult read for me for several reasons. First and foremost, it is the sixth book of the series and I didn't feel that Louise Penny made much of an attempt to engage first time readers with her characters. Of course it didn't help that there were three stories, two evolving concurrently, and the third, a case that keeps being relived, which gravely injured both Gamache and his second in command, Beauvoir. Both are currently on medical leave and neither can let go of the failed rescue mission that nearly killed them. It is this past case that is probably the most interesting part of the entire book. Unfortunately, Penny chooses to painfully drag this story out as both characters deal with the aftermath differently. The combination of stories creates multitudes of characters and case details of which the reader needs to keep track. Louise Penny's writing style is often compared to Agatha Christie, and I see the comparison, but not necessarily in a good way. She has a florid style of writing that seems too whimsical for a thriller genre. For example, "She was grateful he hadn't said murder. It was too shocking a word. She'd been testing it out in the safety of her own head, but wasn't yet ready to take it out in public."~ (pg 35) Does anyone really think like that?!? To me the elegance comes across as unnatural and dated. Penny also has a habit of jumping points of view from character to character. Most authors reserve those kinds of shifts for chapter breaks, but Penny will do it several times a page, sometimes within the same paragraph. It's tiring. I also found some of the plot points outlandish. I understand that Gamache would be asked to assist with the case as a courtesy, but to let him single-handedly conduct his own investigation while never checking in with the lead investigator on the case? That sounds a little bizarre. I won't spoil it for anyone who wants to prove me wrong, but the resolution of this mystery was fairly straight forward and not horribly mysterious. There is also tons of history entrenched in this storyline which, while well researched, bogged down an already over laden story. The secondary story is actually the central case of book five in the series. There was some disappointment in it's resolution among her fans, and perhaps with the author herself because she has Gamache send Beauvoir, to unofficially reopen the case. Beauvoir is also on medical leave and this angle seems a little farfetched as well. I believe that Beauvoir would do anything the chief asked, but I can't fathom how far things went without going through official channels. Both Beauvoir and Gamache seem to like to grandstand their case results in front of an audience of suspects too (very Agatha Christie). I can see this as plausible in some situations to draw a suspect out, but the long speeches seemed a little cliché. I cannot speak for the rest of the Gamache series, not having read it, I can only speak for this as a standalone novel. This book tried to be too many things: an history lesson, a psychological profile, a rewrite, a mystery, an example of elegant prose. I can see where this award winning author's work would have a solid fan base. However, I don't think I'm her target audience.
Ms. Penny gives us characters that we not only like, we love. Bury Your Dead weaves three cases together seamlessly, each with a the common thread of human imperfection. Armand Gamache and his beloved Surete are in pain...recovering from a tragedy that slowly reveals itself while two other murders are investigated. The storylines are so lovingly crafted, so exquisitely laid out that I found myself laughing and crying while anxiously turning each page for the next surprise. First time readers of Ms. Penny should really start with her first novel about Three Pines...but definitely read #5 before taking on #6...or it may be hard to follow.
In Bury Your Dead, Louise Penny puts Inspector Gamache in a seriously vulnerable position that has the potential to become literally explosive. Meanwhile, Gamache's department has been gutted and he is haunted by guilt about the death of a young agent. Penny's tale is complicated and multi-layered, with ties from previous stories and with hints of plots to come. Reading this Armand Gamache story makes me want to continue reading more of the series. Especially attractive in this series are Gamache's personality and leadership style, his strong marriage, and his ability to focus on the overview of any situation. Definitely worth reading.
Louise Penny's books are excellent. Well thought out plots, great characters, hard to put down.
I really like this series, which I'm reading in order. This is probably the "darkest" yet and painful in a way, but fascinating. The characters are well developed and the plot(s) intricate and clever.

You can find nearly everything in Las Vegas, from a dark bar to a roller coaster, and from a gourmet buffet to a family run restaurant. One thing you can definitely find in Vegas is a collection of loud personalities. From the streets to the stage, the capital city of entertainment is home to some of the most interesting, most talented, and most extravagant people around.
One example of extravagance taking the stage can be found with Joan Rivers, who performs occasional shows in the city of sin. A popular red carpet host who is known for her broad personality, Joan Rivers offers guests a chance to see her perform a stand-up routine.
Many people know Joan Rivers for her raspy voice and New York accent, while others simply recognize her due to all of the plastic surgery she has had. Not many people know that Rivers is also an impressive comedian. Her jokes tend to revolve around celebrity gossip, while much of her material actually makes fun of herself.
While many people have laughed at or along with Rivers while watching her on television, not many have had the opportunity to enjoy her in person. It is a totally new experience to watch a live performance, and Joan Rivers has had many years to perfect her production.
Joan Rivers has many claims to fame, but her career began as she made guest appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show. She also worked as a writer for Candid Camera and some game shows, acting as proof of her comical talents. Since her start, she has never stopped working for a long period of time, appearing to prefer the glow of the Hollywood spotlight.
More recently she has been known as the most entertaining host on the red carpet, making jokes with celebrities and never at a loss for a clever comment. Even more recent was her work with Donald Trump on Celebrity Apprentice, which she left as champion.
Joan Rivers will be performing her stand up live at the Venetian Las Vegas hotel and casino. She does not perform on a regular schedule, but has shows available October 20-22 of this year, and November 17-19 of this year. Tickets are already on sale, and will likely sell out, so it is important to plan ahead if you want to catch the red carpet queen in person!
Tickets are available starting at $56, and VIP seating is also available at a more expensive price. Tickets can be purchased through multiple means, including by phone, over the internet, or in person at the Venetian Showroom box office. Joan Rivers may not be appropriate for young children, so this show is not recommended for those traveling with the family.

Nina's European Day Spa

New York, NY 10001
Frankly, I think a touch of European relaxation should be mandatory for anyone who dares venture into midtown. You should have to stop here before catching the 4-5 line back downtown; you should be forced to put yourself in Nina's capable hands, to get the day's disappointments out of your system. Since that can't happen, save up for a special occasion and just go. Hell, it's cheaper than going to Europe.

Wall Street Journal Hits New High of Bitchiness, Calling Out Spelling Errors
Copy errors. They happen to the worst of us, and sometimes, those much better than your usual poorly edited suspects. But is it really necessary for one publication to call another publication out on -- of all things -- a spelling error?
If you're the Wall Street Journal, apparently so. New York magazine wrote a piece about an accused Ponzi schemer "with ties to Belgian royalty" named Guy Albert de Chimay, who's claiming that the piece came because of his former fiancees friends and relatives, who have ties to NY Mag. Chimay argues to the Wall Street Journal that the coverage by NY Mag is because...
"They have friends on the boards of companies and that work for New York magazine. New York magazine is doing an article about me. This is all nonsense and made up because they are mad at me."
Fair enough, or as fair a refutation a guy accused of stealing $7M can make. But is this...
New York magazine published two blog items about Mr. Chimay, including one that referred to Ms. Saiger as Erica Steiger.
Really indicative of anything other than a lousy copy edit? Wouldn't New York actually want to spell these names right if they're pulling for The Saiger Family? It's kind of an unnecessarily bitchy aside, especially considering there's no context given to it. At least now we know where some of the $15M Rupert Murdoch shelled out for the Journal's new metro section went: the best in-house copy editors of other people's publications in New York City.

The two-state solution ignores the physical and political realities on the ground, and presumes a false parity in power and moral claims between a colonized and occupied people on the one hand and a colonizing state and military occupier on the other... the two-state solution condemns Palestinian citizens of Israel to permanent second-class status within their homeland, in a racist state that denies their rights by enacting laws that privilege Jews constitutionally, legally, politically, socially and culturally. Moreover, the two-state solution denies Palestinian refugees their internationally recognized right of return.
The two-state solution entrenches and formalizes a policy of unequal separation on a land that has become ever more integrated territorially and economically. All the international efforts to implement a two-state solution cannot conceal the fact that a Palestinian state is not viable, and that Palestinian and Israeli Jewish independence in separate states cannot resolve fundamental injustices, the acknowledgment and redress of which are at the core of any just solution.
In light of these stark realities, we affirm our commitment to a democratic solution that will offer a just, and thus enduring, peace in a single state."

How to remove accents in PHP
Dealing with national specific character is always really tedious work. Last week I spent a few hours trying to find out why Zend_Search_Lucene doesn't search for words that include Czech specific letters. It seemed like for some words it works and for other it doesn't. To be honest I don't know what was wrong.
My first idea was really simple. I'll convert all non English characters to their appropriate form. Like 'á' to 'a', 'č' to 'c', etc. If I had to convert texts only from Czech to standard English alphabet, it would quiet easy using strtr but what if someone tried to use German, Spanish or French?
When I started using Doctrine I was quiet curious how does their "slug generator" work, because it converts strings written in Spanish, French, Czech, German, etc. language into URL appropriate form. That's without any accent or language specific characters. Only english letters, numbers and dashes. I knew there must be some magic inside. Just to be clear what I mean, it turns this
Babí léto definitivně skončilo, zatáhne se a na horách začne sněžit
into this
That's perfect, so how does Doctrine do this?
Doctrine 1.2 comes as many other frameworks with some self-sustaining components. One of them is
Doctrine_Inflector class. This class contains only static functions related to text manipulation. In this case the most important are
Doctrine_Inflector::unaccent() and
Doctrine_Inflector::urlize. I think their names are self-explanatory. The best thing is that all these functions were tested by programers all over the world and if there was a bug they would probably already fixed it.
So what I did with
Zend_Search_Lucene? Before indexing any text I always converted it using
1 2 3 4 5 6
echo Doctrine_Inflector::unaccent('Babí léto definitivně skončilo, zatáhne se a na horách začne sněžit'); // prints "Babi leto definitivne skoncilo zatahne se a na horach zacne snezit" // and by the way this is how urlize work echo Doctrine_Inflector::urlize('Babí léto definitivně skončilo, zatáhne se a na horách začne sněžit'); // prints "babi-leto-definitivne-skoncilo-zatahne-se-a-na-horach-zacne-snezit"
and I do exactly the same when a user enteres a search query. I'm not sure if this is the best practise but I'm always trying to avoid problems with character encodings when storing anything outside database.
Great, but where's the source code?
If you want to use
Doctrine_Inflector as I did you don't have to download whole
Doctrine ORM. You can just extract functions you want to use from the Doctrine_Inflector's source code.

Discussion in 'The Training Wing' started by 23chunky, Dec 30, 2007.
The heart of the site is the forum area, including:
Been put on a DIT T cse does anyone have any lesson plans?
Do your own, that's the whole point of it and you will also understand what you are teaching.
Some fcuking instructor you will make if you can't even be bothered to complie your own lessons.
mate do them yourself they aint hard
Surely there is nothing wrong with someone attending a DITS course to ask for some lesson plans.
This is the best way to learn and to take good practice from other people and to learn the general layout of the plans before you start to attempt your own.
Lets not start saying that every lesson taking by an instructor is done on an original lesson plan
Having just done this course recently, I can say with some knowledge that the instructors will teach you everything you need. You will not learn by using someone else's lesson plan.
It isn't bloody difficult, trust me.
all i was asking was for a little help. cheers
23chunky - you tried to atke the easy route - like so many other ARRSE users. Each course will be slightly different. As an instructor, if someone turned up to my first lesson with lesson plans from elsewhere, there's only one place they'd be going - in the bin.
I agree that once an instructor is skilled in teaching, and has the knowledge, there is no harm in using someone elses lesson plans. But when learning the basics - I think it is important to do it yourself. Best way to learn.
Anyway, enjoy the course!
i have done the basic DIT course when it changed from BIT to DIT , the course i am doing is the train the trainer. i understand that using someone else's lesson plans is not the best thing. can anyone advice me on the format of the cse as the info they sent me was for the DIT not DIT T
2 1/2 week course. You're split into syndicates of about 5-6 per group that are mixed ranks with about 23/24 in each course. The instructors are really really good and there's a Guards CSgt instructor there who is a top bloke even if he does look like Micheal Barrymore! Awright???
There is a lot of prep work to be done in the evening initially and you will struggle if you're not adept at using powerpoint/computers in general so I'd advise you to brush up on your skills before you get there as it'll make your life a lot easier.
You've got to give 4 lessons.
IP1-20 Mins on a subject of your choice
IP2-30 Mins 'practical' such as knot tying/changing a fuse etc etc
IP3-40 Mins on a subject that they give you (and no, I'm not going to say what they are-wait until you get there)
IP4-30 Mins (ditto)
You also do 3 days of Care of Trainee's which,for me, was the best part of the course to be honest as they get professional actors in to act out scenarios and they do push you. Like all things, you will only get out of it what you put in and I have to say it's been one of the most rewarding courses I've done in the mob. You get a BTEC something or other on completion of the course and confirmation you've done at least 30 hours of coaching/instruction.
It's perceived by some to be a 'pink and fluffy' course but in defence of the course, there are only a few lessons which I thought were crap but after what happened at Deepcut, changes had to be made...
I did TTT at RAF Halton and the Sgt's Mess is PAYD and has little atmosphere however, the guys and girls in the mess are mostly a very friendly and civilised bunch and are a credit to the RAF as they will make you feel welcome there-more so than in some of the RN messes I've been in, I'm ashamed to admit. I had an ensuite cabin although I'm led to believe that one of the accom blocks is shite but it's still 'not that bad'.
Halton village has a few decent pubs with one or two stunning barmaids and the curryhouses are pretty good.
T'is a fecking pain in the arse to get to RAF Halton though...
cheers mate
When I did my DIT (T) cse, it was only a week long, I did mine at Blandford although it was run by DCTS Instructors.
There was a DIT course running concurrently to my DIT (T) so we shaddowed the DIT course, sat in on some of the central lessons that their instructors delivered and assessed the studedents theory and skills lessons (under spervision of their instructors). I addidtion to this, we also had to prepair and deliver actual DIT lessons (to the other DIT (T)'s), ie the lessons that you will deliver to students on DIT courses.
I now teach DIT courses on a regular basis, and my unit has just been re-acrcedited by DCTS. If you need an further assistance drop me a PM.
Hope this helps.
the RHAJ is a good indian ay, when you were refering to bar maids, which pub was you refering to?

Video and Amy

Video of current progress:
Crafting bar is now scrollable, I added 4-build stage of spaceship, which will depend on research (it's not functional now, but it will be soon). Upgrade section was also added, where the upgrade items will be put on the robot. Not functional yet, but it will go like this: players will research some stuff and with some of them players will be able to craft a needed item for upgrade; after a player will craft that item, he will be able to put it on the upgrade section on the robot. For now it seems that only four upgrades will be possible on the first planet (for tracks, lights, fuel and drill), at the next one, Mars, there will be able to research and upgrade cooling system and possibly something else. With the robot, there will be research to upgrade the base (energy, oil, base inventory) and spaceship (on the first planet only the 4-build stage, on the next one there will be more upgrades)
After a long time of thinking we decided to keep the current looking robot... but... it will change at some planets. We haven't decided when and where, but that will definitely happen and probably a few times while traveling in space to more planets.
Also... scientist named Amy is being drawn, she is one of the survivals, here is a glimpse of her:
She still needs a lot of work, but the majority of the face is done, the hair still needs more attention and of course the lower part.

Deutsche Bank's Dunbar to Depart After 16 Years at FirmAmbereen Choudhury
Ivor Dunbar, who oversaw Deutsche Bank AG's relationships with its largest corporate finance clients, is leaving after 16 years at Germany's biggest bank.
Dunbar, who joined Deutsche Bank in 1997 and has been based in London, will leave at the end of this month to pursue outside interests, spokeswoman Kathryn Hanes said by telephone today. The 51-year-old's past duties include being head of global structured capital markets and head of global markets for Europe.
The announcement was made to employees last month, Hanes said. Frankfurt-based Deutsche Bank declined to comment on Dunbar's replacement. IFR reported the move earlier today.

I was in major need of revival by the age of 19. I was the backslidden grandson of a fiery tent-preaching revivalist. I had spent a great deal of my life in the church but was now running fast into the world. I was a gifted hypocrite who played the part on Sunday but did as I wished come Monday.
Apparently I had enough people fooled to be used as a leader in the church. I don't know if that said more about my skillful deception or their desperation. The warning signs were there if someone would have exercised enough discernment to see the symptoms.
I was dying and needed help. Thankfully that help arrived in our little church in 1996 when revival broke out during an ice storm (another story for another day). Jesus, the great physician, showed up with a diagnosis and prescription for my spiritual condition. Yes, it hurt, but it also healed!
There are seven questions for self discovery that the great theologian A.W. Tozer encourages us to consider. These questions, if answered honestly, speaks volumes about our spiritual health. They are:
- What we want most
- What we think about most
- How we use our money
- What we do with our leisure time
- The company we enjoy
- Who and what we admire
- What we laugh at
I make it a point to frequently ask these questions of myself. With these in mind, I want to offer seven signs you need revival in your own life:

ON AIR: Heart Of Glass – Blondie
COLDFRAME is an independant jewelry brand based in Seoul and New York (born in 2014) created by self-taught artist Haehee Park. Haehee's creations are extremely modern and timeless at the same time.
The second collection, "Traits of bone" is inspired by Georgia O'Keefe and her life in New Mexico (if you don't know her, you should google her name). The entire collection embodies traces of female bone structure and zoomed-in parts of a flower.

It means 'COLDFRAME' as its name and it basically came from the feeling and characteristic of metals. It just that.

I have always been inspired by everything that strongly impresses me.

I mainly use silver and I add 18krt gold and jemstone.

I love Chopin, and I always love all kinds of hiphop.
– Tell us your plans for the future!
I would like to make jewelry that I want to wear and keep making creative one which I hope will inspire others.
You may know I'm obsessed with earrings and you may know that all of Haehee ones are, now, on my wishlist. What are your favorite pieces?

Idarubicin (Zavedos)
This page tells you about the chemotherapy drug idarubicin and its possible side effects. There are sections about
Idarubicin is also called by its brand name Zavedos. It is a chemotherapy drug used to treat some types of cancer including acute myeloid leukaemia and advanced breast cancer.
One of the ways idarubicin works is by blocking an enzyme (called topoisomerase 2). If this enzyme is blocked the cell's DNA gets tangled up and the cell can't split into 2 new cancer cells. The cell then dies.
Idarubicin is a red liquid. You have it into your bloodstream (intravenously). You can have it through a thin, short tube (a cannula) put into a vein in your arm each time you have treatment. Or you may have it through a central line, a portacath, or a PICC line. These are long, plastic tubes that give the drugs directly into a large vein in your chest. You have the tube put in before or during your course of treatment and it stays in place as long as you need it.
You can read our information about having chemotherapy into a vein.
Idarubicin also comes in 5mg red capsules and 10 mg red and white capsules. You should swallow the capsules whole with plenty of water and can take them with a light meal. It is very important that you take the capsules according to the instructions your doctor or pharmacist gives you. You should take the right dose, not more or less. And never stop taking a cancer drug without talking to your specialist first.
You usually have chemotherapy as a course of several cycles of treatment. The treatment plan for idarubicin depends on which type of cancer you have.
The side effects of idarubicin are listed below. You can use the links (underlined) to find out more about each side effect. Where there is no link, please see our cancer drugs side effects section or use the search box at the top of the page.
More than 10 in every 100 people have one or more of the side effects listed below.
- An increased risk of getting an infection from a drop in white blood cells – it is harder to fight infections and you can become very ill. You may have headaches, aching muscles, a cough, a sore throat, pain passing urine, or you may feel cold and shivery. If you have a severe infection this can be life threatening. Contact your treatment centre straight away if you have any of these effects or if your temperature goes above 38°C. You will have regular blood tests to check your blood cell levels
- Tiredness and breathlessness due to a drop in red blood cells (anaemia) – you may need a blood transfusion
- Bruising more easily due to a drop in platelets – you may have nosebleeds, bleeding gums after brushing your teeth, or lots of tiny red spots or bruises on your arms or legs (known as petechia)
- Tiredness and weakness (fatigue) during and after treatment – most people find that their energy levels are back to normal from 6 months to a year after their treatment ends
- Feeling or being sick happens to 9 out of 10 people (90%) and usually starts about 2 to 4 hours after treatment begins and lasts a couple of days. It is usually possible to control this side effect with anti sickness injections and tablets. If you are still being sick, tell your doctor or nurse, as your anti sickness medicines may need to be changed
- Loss of appetite
- Hair loss – nearly everyone has complete head and body hair loss, which begins 2 to 5 weeks after the treatment starts. Your hair will grow back after your treatment ends
- A sore mouth and throat can happen about 2 to 3 days after each treatment – you may have red, sore skin in your mouth as well as mouth ulcers. It usually clears up within 3 weeks of treatment finishing. Your nurse may give you a mouthwash to reduce this
- Your urine may turn pink or red for up to 2 days after having idarubicin – this won't harm you
- Diarrhoea – drink plenty of fluids and tell your doctor or nurse if the diarrhoea becomes severe, or lasts more than a couple of days
- A high temperature (fever) and chills – taking paracetamol every 6 to 8 hours can help
- Headaches
Between 1 and 10 in every 100 people have one or more of these effects.
- Inflammation around the drip site – if you notice any signs of redness, swelling or leaking at your drip site, tell your nurse straight away
- Your skin may become more sensitive to the sun during your treatment and for several months afterwards. You need to cover up and stay in the shade. Use a high factor sun cream if you do go out
- If you have had radiotherapy in the past, the skin in the treatment area may become dry and flaky. You may also have some pain and burning similar to sunburn
- Your nails may become darker and white lines may appear on them
- Black or brown discoloration may occur in the creases of your skin – this is particularly common in children
- Liver changes that are very mild and unlikely to cause symptoms – the liver will almost certainly go back to normal after treatment. You will have regular blood tests to check how well your liver is working
- Damage to heart muscle, which is usually temporary and may change the rhythm of the heartbeat. For a small number of people the change may be permanent. Your doctor or nurse will check your heart before and after your treatment
- Stomach ache and bleeding from the small bowel – let your doctor or nurse know straight away if your stools look darker or you notice blood
- Skin rashes or itching
Fewer than 1 in 100 people have these effects.
- An allergic reaction causing a raised temperature, shivering and a rash – let your doctor or nurse know straight away if you have this
- Women may stop having periods (amenorrhoea) – this may only be temporary
- Loss of fertility – you may not be able to become pregnant or father a child after this treatment. Talk to your doctor before starting treatment if you think you may want to have a baby in the future. Men may be able to store sperm before starting treatment
- Painful joints due to raised uric acid levels in the blood
- A second cancer or leukaemia may develop some years after idarubicin treatment but this is rare
With high doses, or many treatments, there is a small risk that you may develop permanent heart problems.
The side effects above may be mild or more severe. A side effect may get better or worse through your course of treatment, or more side effects may develop as the course goes on. This depends on
- How many times you've had the drug before
- Your general health
- The amount of the drug you have (the dose)
- Other drugs you are having
Coping with side effects
Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse about all your side effects so they can help you manage them. They can give you advice or reassure you. Your nurse will give you a contact number to ring if you have any questions or problems. If in doubt, call them.
Other medicines
Tell your doctor about any other medicines you are taking, including vitamins, herbal supplements and over the counter remedies. Some drugs can react together.
Pregnancy and contraception
This drug may harm a baby developing in the womb. It is important not to become pregnant or father a child while you are having this drug. Use reliable contraception throughout the treatment and men need to continue to do so for 3 months after treatment ends. Talk to your doctor or nurse about effective contraception before starting treatment.
Do not breastfeed during this treatment because the drug may come through in the breast milk.
You should not have immunisations with live vaccines while you are having chemotherapy or for at least 6 months afterwards. In the UK, these include rubella, mumps, measles (usually given together as MMR), BCG, yellow fever and Zostavax (shingles vaccine).
You can have other vaccines, but they may not give you as much protection as usual until your immune system has fully recovered from your chemotherapy. It is safe to have the flu vaccine.
It is safe for you to be in contact with other people who've had live vaccines as injections. There can be problems with vaccines you take by mouth (oral vaccines), but not many people in the UK have these now. So there is usually no problem in being with any baby or child who has recently had any vaccination in the UK. You might need to make sure that you aren't in contact with anyone who has had oral polio, cholera or typhoid vaccination recently, particularly if you live abroad.
This information does not list all the very rare side effects of this treatment that are very unlikely to affect you. For further information look at the Electronic Medicines Compendium website at www.medicines.org.uk.
If you have a side effect not mentioned here that you think may be due to this treatment you can report it to the Medicines Health and Regulatory Authority (MHRA) at www.mhra.gov.uk.
We have information about advanced breast cancer.
You can also read about acute myeloid leukaemia.

UNICORN KEEP is #Free on #Amazon
A young adult fantasy about a girl who swaps places with her best friend to become a unicorn keeper.
Jiline of Ainsley is dismayed when her best friend is selected by the mages to become a unicorn keeper at the Keep, an isolated mountain fortress. Especially since Madelen is in love and engaged to the richest boy in the village. Jiline on the other hand has no prospects of marriage or a trade in their small village. So, she comes up with a plan to take Madelen's place at the Keep and hopefully flunk out of unicorn keeper training before the mages can discover the deception. Unfortunately, the unicorns have their own plans for her.
Mage Herrick, son of the Keep Mage, returns home to the Keep as the trainee keepers arrive. A chance encounter with Jiline, who he believes is Madelen, on the trail sparks a magical connection between the two. Knowing he can't feel a magical draw to someone who has no magic, he tries to prove Madelen (Jiline) has magic within her. His attention brings unforeseen complications for both of them.

Located at the main gate of the Tata Steel Company, this 2Star hotel maintains deluxe guestrooms to reside in. Dining outlets include: a coffee shop and the Chopsticks, a specialty restaurant, serving multi-cuisine fare to its diners from 10.30a.m-2.30p.m and 6.30p.m to 10.30p.m. Guests can also entice their taste buds with some sweet temptations at the Brubeck Bakery, which serves cakes, pastries and desserts.
The location of the hotel is at its best. You cannot get a better location. The front desk and reception was very courteous. The rooms, lobby, staircase and overall was very clean and beautiful. The restaurant and two banquet halls were also very clean with a very good ambiance. However there was always a delay in room service. Car parking (paid) is available outside the hotel on the main road."PORK" should not be made, served or listed on the menu. SOMETHING WORTH A MILLION DOLLARS: The lobby has a good collection of old coins put up on a frame and a rare collection of old postage stamps. the staircase, landing area, sitting area is filled with rare old photographs of the British era.Old snaps of notable locations of Calcutta are a must to see. In fact, the hotel itself is a mini museum. I would always stay in the hotel in future and recommend it to others. Suggestions to the hotel: Please make Morning bed tea and breakfast complimentary for guests for all your rooms. Some guests may
The stay was excellent in this hotel. Room was well furnished with all the facilities. Staffs are prompt and quick in their service. The food was fine.
Room condition was terrible and not at all value for money. Rooms are like old model guest house and the respective charges are too high. No proper lock in the rooms and poor maintenance.
Prime-most Location with great ease of accessibility to the Hotel. Good Facilities for any Business Traveler. All available amenities are operational and well maintained. Dinning and Room Service is varied and a bit pricey for Jamshedpur Standard but extremely good. The bathrooms are renovated with modern and high-end fittings. The staff and reception are courteous and ever helpful. The lead-time to any service is fine, and they keep you informed on any changes. The charges are a bit steep for a non-star hotel in Jamshedpur but averages out with the other advantages.
Attractions travelers recommend
