The New York Times best-selling author and master of the modern mystery returns with a fierce and poignant new novel featuring his acclaimed killer-for-hire, Keller. John Keller is everyone's favorite hit man. He's cool. Reliable. A real pro: the hit man's hit man. The inconvenient wife, the business partner, the retiree with a substantial legacy. He's taken care of them all, quietly and efficiently.Keller's got a code of honor, though he'd never call it that. And he keeps the job strictly business. But while Keller might be a pragmatic and crack assassin, he's also prone to doubts and loneliness just like everybody else. And though he's got Dot, his wisecracking contact and sometimes confidante, these days, it doesn't seem to be enough.
Keller's been at this business a long while. Just maybe it's time to pack it in. Only problem is, retirement takes money. And to get money, he's got to go to work....
Hit Parade, the third novel featuring the fascinating Keller, displays the hallmarks that distinguish Lawrence Block's award-winning fiction: the intelligence, the clever plotting, the humor, the tricky twist and ironic turns, the darkness and emotional complexity, and, above all else, the humanity.
"Well-crafted....With dry wit." (Publishers Weekly)
"Block's legion of fans will savor his subtle wit, his consummate narrative skills, and his idiosyncratic method of celebrating the lives of working folks in America." (Booklist)

And, within past few days, the fall in the primary indexes of Indian Share Market like Nifty, BSE etc. have been very significant. BSE has lost around 1000 points within last two trading sessions; while Nifty has lost around 325 points; thereby creating a panic situation in the stock market/share market. A little advisory, in this regard Index, has been posted in May 2013 on my facebook; as per which, the technical as well as astrological aspects of share market were looking quite dicey and having indications of downside movement.

One of the major flaw and/or drawback, in analyzing a horoscope, is using generalized concepts for concluding the results. And, the commonly spread inauspicious planetary combinations and/or dispositions are mostly ill-treated as well as misunderstood. Some of these are related with Nodes i.e. union of planets with Rahu and Ketu. In this article, I will be taking the Saturn + Rahu union and will try to explain a bit about it for the benefit of the reader.
The most common myth about this union (Saturn + Rahu) is that this union destroys the house occupied by it; and that the best placement for this union is in third or sixth house. Actually, this issue also came up in recent past, when I was doing the analysis for some person; and he was quite worried about the union of Saturn + Rahu in the horoscope. And, this also prompted me to write this article. Continue reading »

Oh, it's on. These sociopathic banking bastards are tap dancing on my last remaining nerve.
At the beginning of May, my automatic payment to Chase for my credit card statement balance failed to post. I caught this quickly, reported it, and electronically transferred the $463.20 I owed to them. The root cause of this was a glitch in one of Chase's own systems. But the fact remained, it was 18 hours past the due date.
I soon discovered I had then been charged $33.39 in fees and interest. That works out to 9.6% interest PER DAY. Being robbed at gun point and pistol whipped would have been a better feeling. But I had the inner peace and satisfaction that comes from knowing you're right, and the maniacal determination to make that reality known to the cadre of clueless meatbags that stood between me and my squeaky clean credit history.
The next few weeks involved more phone calls and faxes than I care to mention. At one point Chase required that I actually had to print documents off of the Chase system and fax them back to Chase as evidence of my claim. This sort of bureaucratic bullshit is not incompetence. It's a carefully crafted strategy to frustrate and abuse the opposition in hopes they give up and walk away. Not a chance.
They finally relented, and agreed to credit me the $33.39, which was damn sporting of them considering their computer caused the problem in the first place. I was frustrated, but contented. I got my due.
Today my June statement dropped. I opened it only to find a new interest charge on there. I grab the phone, dial the number and punch zero until the IVR cries uncle and connects me to a human being. I explain that I want to know what this interest charge is. The agent informs me he'd be happy to help me with that today. I somehow suspect he's going to change his mind.
He cheerfully drops into a canned script about how interest charges are calculated, and I cut him off at the dangling participle. I explain there should be no interest at all as they credited me the $33.39, and otherwise the card is paid off.
He clicks away at his keyboard for a moment, and announces he has an answer. There were almost 3 weeks that went by from when the $33.39 was charged to me and when they credited my account for the same. This was the interest I owed on that overdue charge, prior to them issuing the credit.
I left the line silent for a moment assuming the insanity of what he just explained would trigger a follow-on statement, or at least a satisfying "splat" as his head popped and the gelatinous goo dripped from his monitor. But nothing.
"Let me see if I have this right," I offered. "You're charging me interest for failure to pay you money you agree I didn't owe you?"
"Well Sir, the system doesn't remove the charges, it merely credits you. And according to policy you are still responsible for the initial charges and any late fees or interest on those charges." He spoke with a straight face, however improbable that may seem.
Donning the face in the illustration above I roared back, "This is completely unacceptable! Chase agreed I was not liable for initial problem. That's why they credited the charges in the first place. I will not be held financially responsible for the vagaries of your internal accounting system. You agreed to credit the charges. I expect that to be all of them. And I do not expect to have to waste my time or yours having to explain this all over to someone else next month."
Another long silence loomed on the line. Then much to my surprise, "Yes Sir, I'm going to go ahead and credit that interest charge back to your account."
This should have been a good outcome. I ultimately got my justice (at least until next month). But at what price? Financially, I'm in way over the $33 limit if I remotely try to factor in the time devoted to this. And I'm sure they've spent way more dealing with this resolution as well. Yet I suspect that for every one of me who goes to the wall over this stuff, hundreds of folks just pony up the extra fees in the interest of keeping it simple. And that's why banks do it.
I'd like to even think this was strictly a Chase problem, but it's not. I've already stopped doing business with Citi and Capital One because of different situations where I was treated like somehow I should consider it a privilege to do business with them. Somewhere along the line the whole equation got inverted.
It's not that these banks are too big to fail… it's that they're too big to give a flying f*#k about their customers.

So, a few weeks back, Des Moines Mayor Frank Cownie was one of a handful of mayors invited to the White House for a jobs summit. Now, I hear that Cownie is on his way to Copenhagen for the climate change summit.
I'd say, either this guy likes going to summits without climbing mountains, or he has some aspirations for higher office. And based on the subject matter of these little shindigs, I'm guessing it's federal office.
So what do you think he's eyeing? Is he the kind of guy who will challenge a sitting Republican, or will he play it safe and wait for Harkin to retire? Perhaps wait for a Boswell retirement (or, if Boswell loses, challenge a one-term GOP incumbent)?
Or is he faking us all out and waiting for his post-Culver gubernatorial opportunity?
I think he's going to have to do a little more to get his local house in order before anyone else in the state will take him seriously.

There is growing awareness around healthcare data privacy. With the spread of diseases and other health issues coming to light, the secure transmission of healthcare data is now a global concern. Thankfully, with today's quickly evolving technologies, especially in regards to mobile, mobile communications itself, is becoming a power tool for healthcare in ways that where not even envisioned a few years ago.
The power of mobile devices, and in particular the personal devices of healthcare workers on the front line of disease control, is revealing the growing issue of maintaining HIPAA compliance in the face of a fast move and globally spreading health concerns such as Ebola.
Being able to share clinical data via a front line healthcare worker's personal mobile device and other doctors and healthcare workers on the other side of the planet in real time; could be a key factor in stopping the spread of disease.
Most healthcare professionals, particularly doctors and nurses, all over the world have cellphones and smart phones, and being able to quickly text clinical patient data and even attach a photo could provide a valuable information exchange that could save lives. The problem is using standard SMS messaging is not secure.
Because of several inherent technology issues, one of the biggest security threats with SMS is the messages get copied as it hops from server to server around the world. Theses copies are not always deleted and can be easily copied and distributed. In addition, SMS messages are not encrypted, so if leaked or accessed, they can easily be read. Also, if the sending or receiving mobile device is lost or stolen, the SMS messages on the device could easily be retrieved.
It is these security issues that create violations of the The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, which for US citizens are the laws that govern one's Protected Health Information (PHI). PHI is any information about health status, provision of health care, or payment for health care that can be linked to a specific individual.
The Us government's department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) are responsible for enforcing HIPAA, and are cracking down on healthcare operations and focusing on mobile communications.
The power of quick detailed patient information exchange via personal mobile devices, could save one's life, but if it is not done right, then is could result in a very large financial and legal penalty for the doctors, nurses and hospitals related to the violation.
Fortunately, in the last couple of years, several easy to use and apply secure mobile messaging technologies have become available, such as the TigerText HIPAA compliant secure messaging app.
Secure messaging allows healthcare workers to feel secure in their ability to send critical patient information, without the worry of HIPAA fines and legal action. More importantly, they know that not only are they free from HIPAA compliance issues, but that the patient's privacy is protected as well.
The difference between SMS and secure messaging is that in the case of a service like TigerText, the messages are sent through a secure server technology and that copies of the messages are not made and left all throughout the server chain.
Another difference is that messages and attachments are encrypted so if a device is lost or stolen, and there are messages on the device, they will not be readable. In addition, the messages auto-delete after a set period of time and can be remotely wiped.
It is these security features that protect the messaging data, which a cornerstone of the HIPAA laws and is critical for compliance.
If caregivers wish to use their mobile devices to send critical clinical patient information, then they should work with their healthcare information technology administrator to get secure messaging technology installed on their mobile devices and workstations.
The question is not, "How can sending patient information via mobile devices be usefully?" but rather, "How do you send patient information via mobile?" The answer is HIPAA compliant secure messaging, which protects the patient information and the caregiver's security.

A recent report by Gartner has revealed that by 2017, mobile apps will see more than 268 billion downloads, generating revenue of more than $77 billion.
"Mobile apps have become the official channel to drive content and services to consumers. From entertainment content to productivity services, from quantified-self to home automation, there is an app for practically anything a connected consumer may want to achieve," said Brian Blau, research director at Gartner.
Currently, apps often provide an opportunity for brands to reach and engage with customers in a direct way, and therefore data coming from the user is often treated as a resource. This is especially true of free apps, which in 2013 account for 92 percent of app downloads. App users are providing troves of data and often accept advertising or data connectivity in exchange for access to the app.
Gartner said that brands and businesses are already using mobile apps as a primary component of their user engagement strategies, and as the use of mobile devices, including wearable devices, expands into other areas of consumer and business activities, mobile apps will become even more significant.
According to the report, wearable devices will use mobile apps as their conduit for data exchange and user interface, because many of them will have few or no user interface capabilities. Offloading that responsibility to the mobile device means the wearable devices will depend on apps for all types of user input or output, configuration, content creation and consumption, and in some cases, basic connectivity.
Gartner also predicts that by 2015, cognizant computing will be a key enabler in smart home solutions. Cognizant computing can play a meaningful role at home because home settings are stable with relatively fixed equipment, and the user behavior there is routine and predictable. According to Gartner, large service providers such as Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple are likely to have a head start in this market due to the relationship they already have with consumers, which provides them with a large repository of user data that they can analyze and predict — a key asset in cognizant computing. In addition, consumers also trust these brands to manage their personal data — another key aspect in cognizant computing, whereas newcomers will have to build these relationships from scratch.

A study by academics at Heriot Watt University has thrown light on the diverse and high level of need homeless men and women typically have and compellingly illustrates the bleak journey that people actually take before sleeping rough.
It shows how homeless people are affected by a form of deep social exclusion they label as 'multiple exclusion homelessness' involving not just homelessness but also substance misuse, institutional care including experience of prison, and involvement in 'street culture' activities including begging and street drinking.
Their report, entitled 'Multiple Exclusion Homelessness in the UK', and authored by Suzanne Fitzpatrick, Glen Bramley and Sarah Johnson, drew its conclusion from a survey conducted among the service users of homelessness services in seven UK cities.
These service users were typically found to have experienced troubled childhoods marred by school and/or family problems, with many reporting traumatic experiences such as sexual or physical abuse, homelessness or neglect. In adulthood, notable incidences of self-harm and suicide attempts are reported.
Individuals who had migrated to the UK – which make up a high percentage of the UK rough sleepers – reported less difficult family backgrounds and lower levels of support needs than those with a British upbringing.
The most complex forms of multiple exclusion homelessness tended to occur among middle aged men, especially those in their 30's.
The report indicated that the chronological ordering of multiple exclusion homelessness is remarkably consistent within people's life histories, with substance misuse and mental health problems generally preceding experience of homelessness, including rough sleeping and other adverse life events.
A typical timeline of life events shows people leaving care or home at around 17, substance misuse problems commencing from 17 through to 22, signs of deteriorating mental health in the early 20's, experience of prison or young offender' institution by the early 20's. Homelessness occurs relatively late in the lifeline of the individual with rough sleeping on average first experienced at the age of 26.
An overview of the key findings of the report is available to download below.

Charlotte, North Carolina (PressExposure) August 18, 2009 -- For many an episode on the Oprah Winfrey Show, the present lifestyle among Americans has been criticized as "unhealthy". But we don't really need a top-rating TV show to tell us that, we only have to look at ourselves and what we have been doing with our body. Completely aware of this, Home Gym Deals gears up its campaign to introduce its excellent line of Body Solid home gym kits and equipment.
The unstoppable innovations in technology and communication have ground-breaking effects in our lives. On the one hand it made our lives easier and more convenient as we don't need to turn to that snail mail or to buy that single pair of shoes in the mall. We can do almost everything through the computer. But it's not all for good. These innovations have made us much more dependent on fast processes and even many lines of work have made us adapt to a sedentary lifestyle. More so, we have been consuming a large amount of our dietary needs from fast food chains. These are obviously destructive traits for our body and health.
The logical thing to do is to sweat it out and exercise. Good, old jogging is never bad for us. The problem is that it is difficult to find time to go to the gym because of our hectic schedules. The moment that we seem to have time to go gym, we feel it's more apt to spend time with the family at home and just catch on the needed sleep later. We don't really feel it a matter of life and death to exercise unless we are already sick. At last, Home Gym Deals has found a way to solve the conundrum. They have done this by bringing a state-of-the-art gym right into your very home!
Home Gym Deals is not a leading online fitness company for nothing. It is known to offer rock bottom prices for its home gym products and equipment. Now, the partnership between Home Gym Deals and Body Solid is a match made in heaven for people who seek to gain a healthier body right in the comfort of their home. Body Solid is also the manufacturer of many of the best home gyms today. Body Solid provides the best equipment, while Home Gym Deals provides the best deals. Can you believe it, Body Solid exm1500s Home Gym is now sold for only $908 and Body Solid PHG1000X Gym is pegged for only $445.
Aside from home gyms, Home Gym Deals also sells workout accessories, including Body Solid exm1500s Rack; Body Solid exm3000s Vertical Knee Raise Attachment; and Body Solid exm4000s Leg Press Attachment. To top it all, Home Gym Deals website is staffed with friendly professionals who will give you tips and suggestions to make an informed decision regarding your home gym needs. The company also offers free shipping for absolutely all Body Solid home gyms, weight equipment and workout accessories. Home Gym Deals and Body Solid believe that your body deserves only the best (and that it need not be pricey). You can never find a better deal than what these two companies are offering in the online market for home gyms.

O.C. WELCH III is in the business of selling cars, but he's also focused on making sure people drive them safely.
His push to widen U.S. 17, where a July 14 car accident claimed the life of a Savannah woman, is not just commendable, it's also a good step to help prevent further tragedies. South Carolina needs to find a way to four-lane that busy stretch of road just north of Savannah.
Mr. Welch and his son, Chip, 13, were traveling on U.S. 17 about three miles north of the Talmadge Bridge when a car driven by Sam Brown, 77, veered out of control and collided with the Welch vehicle. Lenora Brown, 68, the driver's wife, was killed. Mr. Brown and his daughter, a passenger in his car, were taken to Memorial Hospital. The Welchs suffered some bruises.
Since then, Mr. Welch has been campaigning to have the highway widened, and has even purchased a billboard to make the pitch to South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford.
Not only should the highway be widened, but a flyover should be constructed where U.S. 17 intersects with S.C. 170. That busy intersection is near the Levy community, where a truck-car collision in April claimed six lives.
The section of Highway 17 in need of widening is mostly in Jasper County, but does pass through part of Beaufort County. Most road improvements require some support from local taxpayers through sales tax revenues. In the past, Beaufort voters agreed to widen a section of S.C. 170, but have turned down attempts to make improvements to Highway 278 and to U.S. 17.
Jasper County citizens approved a sales tax increase in the past for jail improvements, but have not been asked to fund road work in the area.
Mr. Welch, a well-respected businessman on both sides of the state line, travels U.S. 17 daily, so he knows how treacherous it can be. His campaign has prompted Mr. Sanford to get the state highway patrol to increase its presence on the road, which is a good start.
But the governor contends that only the S.C. Department of Transportation has the authority to widen the highway.
He's undercutting his own political abilities. SCDOT has applied for funds to do what it says will be a $150-million widening project. But Mr. Sanford knows how to twist arms to help make things happen.
Meanwhile, Jasper and Beaufort county residents should recognize that continued growth in both counties is increasing the traffic - and the danger - on these highways. The state and the taxpayers must act before any more lives are lost in this danger zone.

In Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 (as well as Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2013 – March 2014 Update) some enhancements are available in the area of attaching to SQL Views. These enhancements were made based on the feedback we received from the community. With this update, you can now model the primary key for attached SQL Views. Additionally you are now allowed to perform create, update, and delete (e.g CUD) operations against attached SQL Views. In this post, I will walk through some scenarios that illustrate the new functionality.
Modeling the Key
I am going to build an application that attaches to the Invoices SQL View defined in the Northwind sample database. I am going to start by creating a new LightSwitch HTML Application, but you can utilize these new SQL View enhancements in either the LightSwitch HTML Application, LightSwitch Desktop Application (Silverlight) or Cloud Business App (SharePoint). Next I am going to attach to the Northwind database using the Attach to Existing Data functionality. If you are unfamiliar with how to connect to a SQL Server Database, you can learn how to on MSDN.
The first thing you may notice when attaching to a SQL views is that the key is more than likely nonsensical. This is because SQL views do not define primary keys therefore LightSwitch assumes every required field is part of the primary key.
This is only the default however and you are free to change this within the entity designer. To do so, you can toggle the Is Key property in the property sheet for each field as illustrated below.
There are a few rules you should keep in mind when defining a key.
- Only required fields can be part of the key. The LightSwitch design time will enforce this rule.
- You must define a least one property to be part of the key.
- The key must be unique. If the key is not unique, the application you build will not behave correctly.
Given these guidelines, I have modified the key for the Invoice entity to be the OrderID and ProductID as illustrated below.
There are several reasons that you should consider refining the key for Entities that are based on SQL Views. The first is that it logically makes sense for your data model. Secondly, there are several places within the design time experience that depend on what the Entity key is (e.g. the screen designer, the built in singleton queries, the entity relationship dialog, etc.) A good example is that a Details screens will surface the key properties as screen parameters. If you want to programmatically open the screen, you will need to specify each of the key values of the entity you want to open the screen for. If you leave the default key defined which contains every required field, the number of parameters may become unwieldy.
Editable Views
As I eluded to earlier, LightSwitch has support for performing CUD operations on Entities that are backed by SQL Views. There are several conditions however that determine if a particular CUD operation is supported on a SQL view such as
- Any modifications, including UPDATE, INSERT, and DELETE statements, must reference columns from only one base table.
- The columns being modified in the view must directly reference the underlying data in the table columns.
The full list of conditions are covered by the Updateable Views section of the Create View MSDN help topic. If your view definition or CUD operation fails these conditions your end users will get an error when saving. Because of these conditions, entity based views by default are not editable within LightSwitch. To enable editable views you must open the entity designer for the view based entity and toggle the Is Editable property. This will enable create, update, and delete for the entity.
If you want fine grained control over which CUD operations are permitted within your application or you want to require a certain set of permissions to perform CUD, you will need to enable the Is Editable property and then provide implementations for the appropriate CanInsert, CanUpdate, and CanDelete methods for your entity.
When attaching to a SQL View, you now have the ability to model the primary key and are able to perform CUD operations against the view. If you have any questions or comments, please let us know through the blog comments or by posting in our forum.

10 Key Points to Know When Reviewing Employee Performance
Posted on May 27, 2006 | Comments 0
0 Flares 0 Flares ×
- Know exactly what you want to achieve and let your employees know what is expected of them.
- Keep a record of employee performance from which to cite specific examples.
- Discuss the written evaluation with the employee.
- Listen to the employee's comments and then ask questions to stimulate thought.
- Focus on the individual; do not compare him with other members of the group.
- Show that you care about employees' performance and their careers.
- Emphasize good behavior. Be specific in your criticism. Give examples from their performance record. Ask them how they can do even better. Add your own suggestions.
- Focus on the behavior, not on the person.
- Don't be afraid to give honest criticism. Most employees want to know where they stand and how to improve. In the evaluation interview, concentrate on the work, not on the person. Never say, "You were no good." Say instead, "Your work didn't meet standards."
- Help each person to set personal goals that are congruent with the goals of the group – and the company – and to develop a plan of action to reach those goals.

Review: Excellent. Very speedy delivery
Having been quoted £50 for 8 new cooker knobs by Belling I thought I would shop around. Managed to get 8 cooker knobs from yourspares.co.uk for £10. Whilst they aren't a Belling product, they are a universal fit and do the job just fine. Free delivery and said it would take 5-7 days. Delivered in less than 48 hours. Very impressed and would recommend and use again.

While we await the installation of our proposed floating fence, Seymour Hatchery staff and countless volunteers have been tangle netting the river at Pool 88, packing them up a flight of 150 stairs and transporting them up to the hatchery. Simon Ager of Sea Shepherd came our to help with some tangle-netting and snapped some great pictures to boot!
The Pacific Salmon Foundation was also kind enough to document our efforts to capture fish out of the Lower Seymour River. A talented photographer, Ron from Sombilon Photography on behalf of the Pacific Salmon Foundation captured these moments.

An activist in one of Michigan's most important Senate districts has convinced several Public Television stations to use pro-marijuana programming for several broadcast hours each week.
Shiloh Stevens tells TCC that a PTV station in Monroe will play 'Run From The Cure' and 'A NORML Life- The American Marijuana Revolution' on Tuesday, February 11. 'Run' will begin at 8PM; 'Revolution' will begin at 9PM. Both will be shown on MPACT, Monroe County's public access television station.
MPACT can be see locally via Comcast on channel 21, and via the Charter cable network on channel 95.
"Two hours each week," Stevens explained, "they will give programming for two hours each week." Stevens has contacted PTV stations around the state and has arranged programming on other stations in Traverse City, Kalamazoo, Waterford, Grand Rapids, Mount Pleasant- and Wyoming, Michigan.
Monroe is an important district in Michigan because their elected Senator, Randy Richardville, is in control of the fate of two pro-marijuana bills. HB 4271 and HB 5104 both passed the House of Representatives with fantastic majorities and broad bipartisan support; unfortunately Richardville directed the bills to his Committee and then announced he will "sit on them," in a Detroit Free Press interview.
The city of Wyoming just lost an important lawsuit in the Michigan Supreme Court. The Grand Rapids suburb had created an ordinance that banned all activities that violate federal law- a thinly-veiled attack on the use of medical marijuana, allowed in Michigan under the Medical Marihuana Act. A local retired attorney, John Ter Beek, sued the city to halt their ordinance and won.
Although the stations are eager to receive programming direction, there are difficulties to overcome. "Some stations require the participation of a local resident," Stevens explained. He is looking for local sponsors to launch programming in stations covering Battle Creek and Midland; also the station covering the Farmington/Farmington Hills/Novi area.
Oakland County offers the option of programming, but requires a $75 annual membership payment; that membership allows 2 1/2 hours of programming each week.
Other stations need copies of programming to be delivered to their studios, and Stevens is in need of some financial support to both pay membership fees and to crisscross the state delivering videos. Stevens can be reached through The Compassion Chronicles, or via his Facebook page called "Creative Universe."
The one thing Stevens says he is in good supply of is content. "I have so much stuff to choose from," he told TCC. In addition to pre-produced videos like 'Revolution' Stevens has patient testimonials he gathered while working with northern Michigan activists Leon Mix and Peter O'Toole. "I have testimonials from Peter, from Amy Jo Clark and others," he said. He plans to offer videos on other drug war-related programming to the PTV stations, including jury nullification issues.

Finland, 1809. Henrik and Erik are brothers who fought on opposite sides in the war between Sweden and Russia.

Review by teresa1953
This small novel packs a real punch. An epic tale told in intricate fashion, somehow crafted in to 122 pages.The author has created a dark and brooding atmosphere at an icy Finnish farm in 1809 following the Swedish-Russian war. There dwells two brothers, Henrik and Erik, their mother (The Old Mistress), the much put upon Farmhand and a couple of servants, one of them new to this unhappy household. Henrik and Erik have fought the war on opposite sides and the tension that exists within that farmhouse is palpable. Then there is the horse....or is it just a horse? The Farmhand has grave misgivings about the sense in Henrik owning such a malevolent beast which symbolises so much more than meets the eye.Sahlberg has created a web of intrigue and mystery which has been compared to a Shakespearean drama and William Faulkener's "As I Lay Dying" ....... well deserved comparisons I must say. It is a supremely talented writer who can create vivid characters with their faults, fears and foibles in such few words. I will not reveal the turn of events for fear of ruining the readers' enjoyment. Suffice it to say that you will be gripped and surprised, no shocked, as the story unfolds.A wonderful premiere to the fabulous Peirene's small epic series for 2012. They never fail to present us with beautifully translated European fiction which deserves to be enjoyed and not overlooked. Their dedication to this cause is admirable and pretty unique.
Review by writestuff
The Finnish war, fought between Sweden and the Russian Empire from the winter of 1808 until the autumn of 1809, has come to its conclusion and Henrik, once a soldier fighting for Russia, has now come home to the family farm in Finland. He comes in the night, leaving footprints in the snow, and no one is happy to see him. Henrik's brother, Erik, fought with the Swedes during the war. He also married Anna, a woman who first turned Henrik's head. There are old grudges and family secrets. The brothers' mother worries about what will come of things, and she harbors her own dark secret.<i>I sensed that motherhood was terrible, perhaps sweet at times, but above all terrible. Not because one human child would be more horrendous than another, nor is it so that offspring cannot bring joy when little and be useful when grown up, but because motherhood makes it possible for future generations to be rocked by dark tragedies.</i> - from The Brothers, page 46 -There are other characters, too, in this story of betrayal and family saga – the farmhand who is observant and smart, the housemaid who may be more than what she seems, and a cousin named Mauri who bides his time and waits for opportunity to turn his life around. The brothers, Henrik and Erik, have a turbulent history which informs the novella with a brittle tension as the other characters weave through the narrative like dancers on a stage.The Brothers is a multi-layered and rich piece of literature where pieces of the characters lives come together like an intricate puzzle. As the story unfolds, there is an undercurrent of violence and a sense of apprehension begins to build. Asko Sahlberg shifts the narrative back and forth between the different and unique voices of the characters – a technique which allows the reader to gain a deeper understanding of what exactly has happened between these people who are mostly unlikeable and damaged. Many pieces of the story are introduced by one character, and then further elaborated by another. Although this might seem confusing, I found it to be highly effective in maintaining the pace of the novella.Many historical novels need hundreds of pages to do what Sahlberg does in a novella with just over one hundred pages. With writing which is tight, taut, and artfully drawn, Sahlberg reels the reader into a family drama set against the backdrop of post-war Finland in the dead of winter.I read this book in just over two hours, eagerly turning the pages to unravel this family's secrets. The novella is a translation from the Finnish, and it is beautifully rendered.This latest installment from Peirene Press is sure to delight readers who enjoy works in translation, but it will also appeal to those who love well-written literary fiction. Sahlberg is considered one of the best writers to have come out of Finland, and it is easy to see why. Based on its size The Brothers might seem like a nibble of literature, but it will surprise readers with its enormous depth and skillfully drawn characters.Highly recommended.
Review by AndrewBlackman
The Brothers, by Finnish writer Asko Sahlberg, is the first in Peirene Press's series of the "Small Epic". The publisher also draws comparisons with Shakespeare and William Faulkner. No pressure, then.Surprisingly the book did not disappoint. It's only 122 pages but does pack in a lot of story, including among other things warring brothers, family betrayal, sexual tension, death, illness, gambling debts, bankruptcy, attempted fratricide, blackmail, prostitution and the 1809 war between Sweden and Russia. And yet it never feels like a very dramatic book. The elements of the story accumulate quietly, like snow falling in a Finnish forest.At first, in fact, the accumulation felt too soft for me. The novel is written in the alternating voices of each of the characters, and the voices didn't feel real for me – they seemed overly cryptic, deliberately withholding information while dropping hints about drama to come. They said things like:Yesterday I saw the footprints of a wolf at the edge of the snowy field. That was how I guessed. That was why I went outside, into the pale dawn.There's lots of that sort of thing, lots of hints and guesses and references to things we the reader don't know about. The older brother Henrik comes back from the war, his younger brother Erik is away, and both of these things are bad. There's a strong sense of foreboding, but nothing is revealed for a long time. Then the drama comes in an avalanche, although because most of it in flashback rather than in the timespan of the main narrative, it again has a somewhat muted feel. What would appear to verge on melodrama if recounted in real time comes to seem quite believable when delivered in flat remembrance.To be honest I didn't find the voices very distinct. Each section is preceded by a subheading to indicate who the narrator is, and without that I wouldn't have had a clue. The style throughout is very consistent, literary and often poetic, whether it's one of the brothers speaking or the wife or the vengeful cousin or the unnamed Farmhand. Only the mother stands out for being consistently out to lunch, writing about how well the hens are laying even as everything falls apart around her.There are several revelations at the end, and although one of them was not too surprising, the others were a genuine surprise. Things seem to be moving in a particular direction and Sahlberg takes us off in another one, unpredictable and, although it relies somewhat on a deus ex machina in the form of a sudden legacy from a long-lost relative in America, still handled well and completely believable.I've read all the Peirene novels so far (it's a relatively new publishing house, in its third year, focusing on short European novels in translation), and while this isn't my overall favourite (that honour goes to Veronique Olmi's Beside the Sea), it's right up there with the consistently high quality of the others, and doesn't feel out of place among the grand comparisons drawn in the cover blurb.
Review by parrishlantern
The Brothers by Asko Sahlberg is set at the end of The Finnish War, fought between Sweden and the Russian Empire (Feb' 1808 – Sept' 1809) the result of this war was that the eastern third of Sweden was established as the autonomous Grand Duchy of Finland within the Russian Empire. The book starts with the brothers, who have fought on opposing sides, returning to their family farmhouse. With their return old scars resurface, old conflicts born out of past tragedies. The elder brother, Henrik, is embittered, having long been alienated from his family after first being cheated by a neighbour and then his younger brother Erik. This book manages within it's 122 pages to cover all those epic themes of treachery & conflict, whether through sexual tensions or those family secrets that simmer below the surface or whether contrasting the politics of war with those of family.As this tale unfolds, each character takes their turn in revealing more of the story in a series of dramatic monologues, that made me think of Alan Bennett's TV show Talking Heads, (written for BBC television -1988) creating a multiple narrative that's dark and full of a foreboding that is as dark and chilling as winter. In fact this whole book is as dark and dense as wading through deep snow, and like traipsing through this landscape, you feel you've been traipsing for ages and nothing has changed until you look up and find you've journeyed miles. This is a small book that portrays grand themes and yet does so by focusing it's lens on this family and it's brooding tale, where the passion burns bitter, another way it reminded me was in the similar themes of death, guilt and isolation.Asko Sahlberg, born 1964, has acquired a fame in Finland that has yet to be replicated in the English speaking world. He published his first novel in 2000 and has written steadily since then, completing his ninth work, The Brothers, in 2010.This was a wonderfully told tale, translated by Emily Jeremiah and Fleur Jeremiah, a multi-lingual mother and daughter translation team. Emily has an MA in Creative Writing and a PhD in German Studies. Fleur, her mother, is Finnish. They have worked together before, translating the poetry of Helvi Juvonen and Sirkka Turkka, this is their take on this book

Contemporary Plays by Women of Color is a ground-breaking anthology of eighteen new and recent works by African American, Asian American, Latina American and Native American playwrights. This compelling anthology includes works by award-winning and well-known playwrights such as Anna Deavere Smith, Cherrie Moraga, Pearl Cleage, Marga Gomez and Spiderwoman, along with notable emerging writers such as Kia Corthron, Louella Dizon, Diana Son and Terry Gomez. These are women who are breaking traditional boundaries in writing and engaging difficult themes with originality and integrity. Contemporary Plays by Women of Color explores how these women of color address the various stereotypes imposed on them, and seeks to uncover the real faces behind the masks.
This is the first anthology to display such an abundance of talents from such a wide range of today's women playwrights. The plays tackle a variety of topics--from the playful to the painful. Women of color are speaking out in the theater, addressing such controversial issues as rape and other violence against women; media stereotypes and urban rebellion; the impact of poverty on individuals, families and communites; abortion and the relationship of woman to her body, the relationship of women to each other, and the response of a given community to crisis. The plays also represent varying approaches to playmaking, including solo performance and collective creation.
Despite the number of women of color writing for the theater, resisting invisibility remains the greatest challenge for these writers. This volume addresses this question of invisibility, and the fact that works by women of color are not produces as much as works by whites and males. Furthermore, it includes an invaluable appendix of published plays by women of color, which will direct readers to the growing body of published dramatic literature by the many talented writers in this group.
As contemporary works awaiting to be read, produced and absorbed, these plays offer a wellspring; they are a source to sustain, refresh and renew. Offering a stunning array of voices and play styles, Contemporary Plays by Women of Color allows the reader a looks into a theater of redemption and transformation--the theater that women of color are making, living and dreaming.
Collects 18 new and recent works by African-, Asian-, Latina-, and Native-American playwrights on topics both lighthearted and difficult. Includes an appendix of published plays by women, biographical notes on each writer, and the production history of each play. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
