CANNELTON—Cannelton improved in several areas, but its 23 turnovers contributed to its 60-43 boys basketball loss to Shoals Saturday.
Cannelton Coach Mike Snyder missed the game with the flu. But after watching the game film he said, "Our defense was much better in the halfcourt but we still gave up too many transition points as a result of our turnovers.

John's knowledge roll:
|Fiosa Sweettooth,
|Fiosa Sweettooth,
Fiosa grabs another cup of coffee, wishes everyone well and heads out for the safehouse. "I have an errand to run this morning," she chimes in. Somewhat red faced.
There is typo in above action. It should be "heads out of the safehouse." Fiosa was already in the safehouse.
|Duncan Redhammer
Perception check against the cloak:1d20+8
"I'm not related no..." Shinon admits, backing away politely. He looks at Duncan and then steps into an alley and beckons the dwarf to follow him. He whispers, "Alright, this is getting worse and worse by the day. We have to go end the Red Knives today. I don't know for sure that it was them responsible for this attack, but I'm certainly not content to take the chance that someone else might end up dead tomorrow."
I'm wit ye lad. But lets grab the others. We're talking bout takin on a gang o cutthoats and the 3 o us ain't gonna git the job done alone. Let's go.
To the temple!!
Well now, it seems like the first steps have been laid. Let us see what happens next.
I am utterly boggled that you ever got her to even consider this.
I can be very persuasive. Plus she just went on about 'fate' again, but what does she know after taking that hit with Aroden?
Color me skeptical, she is currently still filled to the gills with liqueur and lust. Once that cools and she realizes what her taste of flesh can cost her, she'll be crawling back to her little whip.
Well there is that. However, was she ever REALLY one yours to begin with?
Once again you display an amazing ability to increase my rage. Explain.
That one was born to a Bloodmother and brought up on your tenets, but she was never really into eventually becoming undead. She gorged, drank, stuffed pills and powder into herself and screwed the living and undead, those were her desires indeed but never has she wanted to give up her flesh and lose that.
I have seen your more devoted followers, for them to even consider screwing one of Pharasma's would make the result look like Zon-Kuthon snuck in there, but that night? Good clean licking,fingering,biting and screwing. The sort of thing that draws my gaze as well as yours.
So what are you asking of me?
Well I'm not going to ask you to not meddle. I do so love meddling and will be sending my little signs as no doubt Miss Cobwebs will also be doing, but until such time that the choice is made, continue to grant your priestess her miracles, there is quite the ruckus brewing in that city and having everyone at their best will make it all the better.
Shinon, Duncan and Ermolos make it back to safehouse without being follewed. Once safely inside they can hear a discussion in a large conference room off the kitchen.
Arael is speaking, "So by the sound of things John's contact with the guards is a few days off. That leaves time for the five of you to go searching for answers." His eyes meet Ermolos and then Duncan's, "Six of you. Pardon. However, Janiven can not accompany you this time, she has some other business to do."
He pauses and takes a sip of out of his tankard, "The question remains are you going to go into the sewers looking for answers or are you going to hunt down a shadow beast?" He looks around the room and notices Kenji is missing.
"Where is Kenji?"
|John Deos
I believe Janiven chastised him for going out alone and he stormed off as John said. Andrea sighed. I believe heading into the sewers would be the better choice since while we have an idea baout the shadow beasts, we still need to learn more by perhaps consulting those who would know about what Kenji has told us.
Arael frowns and shakes his head, Janiven is noticeably missing from the room. "Whatever you decide to do will be challenging. You are dealing with potential criminals, who may have kidnapped, tortured and killed. Alternatively, you are looking at encountering shadow beasts and by the looks of Kenji, he barely survived the encounter."
The City could use some good news with either a criminal band dealt with or a shadow beast or two killed. Certainly, this group would gains some standing with the the residents.
|John Deos
|baldwin the merciful
Shinon frowns. "Our groups' offensive power will suffer without Kenji here, hopefully Ermolos can make up the difference." He smiles encouragingly at the human before continuing. "Regardless, the dangers might be too great for us alone. Arael, would you like to join us? Surely you too object to the idea of a band of rogues running around doing as they please? Your power would be a great asset to us in this."
|Kenji Masada
After assualting a tree for a few hours, I begin to look around at my surroundings. I sit down in the nearest available spot. Janiven's words stung my pride something fierce. She seemed upset. More at my actions. I learned that as we are, we are no match for those beasts. Thanks to my sacrafice, we know better than to head out even as a group. Arael was right. That could have been only a light encounter. I came back alive so what was there to be upset about? What I did was right. I saved lives by risking my own! That's what good guys are suppose to do!
"Why does it bother me?! Why does it bother her? So what I did was dangerous. So what? What we all are doing could get us killed so whats the difference. At least it was only me at risk. Now no one will die because I learned the monsters are too tough for us right now. Even in a group, without a method to hurt it or protect us from it's poison, we wouldn't stand a chance. Would have made no difference if I had gone out alone or with a group. Someone may even had been left behind, or a larger group could have drawn more. I only got hurt cause I didn't run right away. I simply got careless but somehow survived and got good info..."
I sit there on the bench talking to myself in my own tongue still trying to work out what I did wrong.
Hehe, Kenji's an emotional wreck. He doesn't know what it's like to be loved or admired, or even dearly cared for. His master was always so logical with him.
Arael would smile at Shinon, "I'm investigating a lead...a potential, BIG lead. I need some verify a few things but if all works out, in a couple days, we may have a big break through." looking Shinon in the eyes, "the Brotherhood of the Westcrown is on the verge of giving back significantly to the citizens."
That name just came to me and I like it. Besides I need a name to call the NPC members.
I have a few other ways of investigating as well, lack of time prevented me from seeking them all out but we can perhaps share methods. Where do Yaz and Tarvi work and socialize? If need be we can meet and exchange information. Besides, I do not believe we know where everyone works or lives, and constantly meeting here might draw too much attention.

Shinon nods. "Very well, then, Arael. So, our group consists of myself, Andrea, Duncan, John, and Ermolos. Kenji and Janiven are both unavailable...Still, with only five people, I am not so sure of our victory.."
Turning to the group, Shinon asks, "Does anyone have an idea of how we might better our odds against these bandits?"
Andrea1 wrote:Can you put your employer in your background for easy reference.
I work at the money changers. The owner is Gerald and I am there for the morning and afternoon.
Bleh. never thought it would have an offical name. 'Westcrown Exchange House' seems suitable.
Already in the contacts section. :)[ But I'll put him in the main background as well.
Shinon nods. "Very well, then, Arael. So, our group consists of myself, Andrea, Duncan, John, and Ermolos. Kenji and Janiven are both unavailable...Still, with only five people, I am not so sure of our victory.."
Turning to the group, Shinon asks, "Does anyone have an idea of how we might better our odds against these bandits?"
Andrea muses. Henk appeared to be a strong archer and the man with him was heavily armored. I don't remember his weapon but I believe we noted he held himself as well trained. Keeping Henk from raining arrows upon us is important, especially since they know the area they are working on better.
Andrea drinks some cold water, trying to help cool her flushed face that is still affected by last night's drinking. As for how many others there are, if we can scout out, the information would be invaluable, although very risky. I have a few spells I can use, but we must determine what we want to do. I can either pray for spells that hamper them or aid us. Such as causeing fear and doubt in their ranks or aiding our attacks.
Also, this will no doubt be an unpopular choice for John, Duncan and Shinon, but we may very well need to choose wether to eliminate them or come to an 'understanding' that their actions will no longer be tolerated. Perhaps convincing them to leave the city, pointing out the risk of being eliminated by the nobles as a loose end, which is seems they are.
|Duncan Redhammer
|baldwin the merciful
"How much gear do you all need to stock up on?"
What last bit of gear, if any, do you all need. I know Andrea and John have picked up a few things. If you need anything, now is the time.
I'm not sure if you all are going to look for Kenji, or if Kenji gets back in time.
As the group manages to slip out of the temple and make its way to the back alley sewer that Henk's guide let led everyone to roughly a week before.
[occ] Provide me with the marching order. Remember for the most part it is singel file a roof 5 feet or less. There is is sewage trench that next to a slightly raised walkway.[/ooc]

Shinon, let me take your space. If I in the middle of the group I can reach both sides easier.
If Shinon agrees, I take the third spot otherwise I take fourth. Andrea also offers one of the sunrods she purchased for the group stash.
|Kenji Masada
Lemme make sure I am doing this right. Kenji was told to rejoin the group at the temple after three days. Day one he hung out with Janiven. Day two he Janiven and Shinnon tied to investigate a nobles death. Hearing that these shadow beast definitely needed to be dealt with, Kenji executed his dangerous experiment. Now it is day three and instead of praising Kenji for his daring act of bravery, she chewed him out and left. So now Kenji is out venting. He's not far from the temple but he will be out there for a good portion of the day trying to wrap his head around what happened. Unless someone wants to fetch him, he will not be joining the group today....and miss out on loot and XP. Thats the sacrifice one makes to roleplay within character. Someone please come get Kenji, he's not hard to find. Look for a Tian man beating up a tree. He's not hiding.

In the discussion thread you were curious why nobody scolded you espeically, Janiven. It was mentioned that there was a time and place for everything, Kenji's wounds were priority one. Well, she was miffed that Kenji endangered himself and potentially the group. Perhaps it's cultural but she doesn't understand why Kenji left the building as news was being shared. The emotional lady should keep Kenji second guessing and confused.
|Kenji Masada
Well I am not arguing with what happened. Kenji just isn't used to working with groups is all. If no one comes to get me I will return to the temple after a bit of sorting of the thoughts. I'm not far, bout ten to twenty minutes away. Just waiting to see if you guys need me is all. If you think Kenji needs the day off, then I will find something to do to keep entertained. Maybe I will do something dangerous again.
|baldwin the merciful
Everyone in the sewer needs to make a fortitude save when they enter.
As the group begins to descend into the Westcrown sewers, their nostrils are met with an aroma of filth, decay and raw sewage. The inside of their noses are on fire, as eyes water. The nasty memory is intensified by the big black flies buzzing around a lump blocking the trench flow.
Duncan, Shinon, Ermolos immediately understand they are looking at a bloated corpse. The body is contained within the trench, backside up, and it appears to be nearly floating. As Ermolos observes the corpse the stench hits him like a sack of bricks and he heaves violently. Anyone with a passive perception check 10 or higher recongnizes its a corpse. Who is standing in front of Ermolos?
|Duncan Redhammer
Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Well either Shinon or I are in front of Ermolos depending if Shinon agreed to let Andrea take 3rd place. So one of us is going to get something down their back. ;)
Oh boy! Looks like Andrea is going to heave over John or Shinon! Now Urgathoa is going to be double pissed at me which calls for double whippings.
|baldwin the merciful
The smell doubles Andrea over as she becomes nauseous upchucks her moring rolls and coffee. The violence of spasms takes Andrea off guard. The stench of gastric fluid explodes from Andrea's mouth. Sprouting forth like a river of unhealthy gluttony. The unusual pain in her gut makes her take knee. "Serves your right you unfaithful wench," cackles the voice in your head.
Whoever is in front of Andrea has a bit harder fortitude save now as she is sick - either Shinon or John
"You filthy ungrateful piece of toe dung. I hope your pet disciple of that skanky old bone rodent tasted as good the second time.
May you choke on her and the vermin she serves.", hideous cackling reverberates in Andrea's head.
With that Andrea feels a kick in her stomach that puts her on her knees, face inches from the backed up sewage that threatens to breach the embankment. Andrea you are prone (-4 melee attack, -4 AC melee, +4 AC ranged) and have the nauseated condition (unable to attack, cast spells, concentrate on spells. CRB 568)
|Kenji Masada
After a couple of hours of contemplation. I sit up. "I sure she probably just upset cause I got hurt. I go back an see what odders up too." I return to the temple. This would undoubtedly be after the others left for the sewers.
Once I am in the temple I look for people. "Any body home? I back." Do I find anyone?
Andrea face is a mask of horror as she grips her stomach. Ugh..Urgg.. she gasps as she rocks back and forth, the taste of acid on her tongue. Andrea pushes herself up and back so she is pressed against the wall, face white as a sheet and sweat drenching her form.
ANdrea starts muttering to herself in Infernal, half-heard prayers and supplications.

"Hi Kenji, you missed the group by 20 minutes...maybe. They went back to the sewer. They were trying the go where the bandits dropped you all off at, it's not too far. I could show you the entrance." Mathalen offers helpfully.
|baldwin the merciful
Oh Nooooooooooooo, my young priestess your pain will not cease soon, it's causes me much pleasure right now...nearly erotic. Let me squeeze your intestines a touch harder now..."
yes ...yes...there it is - the delectation that I crave. Spit out the last of that foul halfling...yes...yes...YES!
Andrea's eyes roll back and she makes guttural sounds in her throat and her head snaps forwards, sending out a chunk of something disturbing that splats against the wall and starts wiggling. Maggot
Andrea stays prostrate, her face near the sewage as the last of the contents of her stomach dribble out of her mouth..

Skip to comments."Starving The Monkeys" book review. If you're an Ayn Rand fan...
Posted on 01/30/2010 6:29:11 AM PST by Travis McGee
Starving the Monkeys: Fight Back Smarter is about the struggle of the creative, productive members of society against the parasitic masses that author Tom Baugh refers to as the monkey collective. Monkeys are the looters and moochers who essentially dine from the plates of the producers through the tax and legal structures they have put in place. Baugh contends that the vast army of collectivist monkeys would literally starve if left to their own devices.
Starving the Monkeys refers to Baughs recommendation that the producers strictly limit the monkey diet, by withholding their productive efforts on behalf of the collective. Not by refusing to pay taxes, but by temporarily throttling back on their productive output, and thereby hastening the fall of the monkey collective, which is even now teetering on the brink. He advises retreating into a personal Galts Gulch until after the impending financial and social collapse, and then emerging with ones intellectual and productive tools intact. In the former Soviet Union, beleaguered individualists referred to this as internal emigration. Whether this strategy will be taken up by enough producers to have an effect on the collective remains to be seen, but it reflects the Atlas Shrugged meme that is echoing loudly today, as employers hold off on new hiring for just one example.
Although this is a book designed to help you survive what may be our imminent financial Armageddon, you wont find recommendations on long-term food storage or home defense firearms. Other recent titles cover that ground, such as Fernando Aguirres The Modern Survival Manual: Surviving the Economic Collapse, and John Rawless How to Survive the End of the World As We Know It. According to Baugh, by far the most critical survival weapon is the one between your ears. This book is all about honing your mental edge to razor sharpness for the purpose of surviving the collapse intact.
Starving the Monkeys is not an easy read. Its extremely challenging, not only to political correctness but to many popular dogmas, including some religious ones. No sacred cow or ox is left ungored. I guarantee that thin-skinned feminists will be highly offended. If you have a low tolerance for seeing your pet beliefs or heroes under attack, this is not the book for you. For example, if you think that Lincoln was our greatest president, you will certainly not enjoy this book, to say the least. I picked the ingrained American devotion to Honest Abe as one example among countless others. Be warned. Baugh comes after numerous cultural and social beliefs and traditions with a steel crowbar, to pry them apart and analyze their weaknesses as he sees them. In fairness, he turns the same critical analysis on himself.
So why should you read such a problematic and often uncomfortable book, by a consistently prickly and acerbic (but always hilarious) writer? Simple. For the equally consistent brilliance of thought displayed. You may disagree vehemently with many of Baughs suppositions (as I certainly did), but you cannot deny the breadth and power of his thinking. The single chapter titled The Idea Factory is worth the entire price of the book, and so are several others.
The Left will immediately trash the book, its author, and its fans as racist - sight unseen, words unread.
Whatever point the author is trying to make, he could have used a better metaphore.
PR nightmare.
I'm pinging the CW2 list to this book review, because the author is advocating a form of guerrilla civil war, the strategy being the deliberate withholding of the productive output of society's non-parasites. Author Tom Baugh sees the same impending financial and social meltdown that many of us are predicting. His contribution is to suggest that we help to kick the rotting edifice over sooner rather than later. If the "monkey collective" manages to suck the last ounce of liberty and freedom from our country, there may not be enough of a foundation left for rebuilding. Baugh is advocating sort of a "capital strike" against the growing socialist collective. It's a pretty radical book, and many readers will not enjoy some of his positions. I had trouble with some myself. But the book is a welcome edition to any freedom-lover's shelf. I strongly recommend it. If nothing else, it will force you to critically examine some of your own ideas.
If you think the author gives one damn about what the left might do to trash his book, you really have no concept of what the book is about.
The author takes a dirty sharp stick and jams it deep into the left's eyeblls on every page. He really doesn't care what the monkey collective thinks.
on the wish list!

From the author's website, "Monkey, Defined."
In the context of this book, a monkey is defined as a person that chooses to collectively seize, by unearned means, the property, material or intellectual, temporal or spiritual, of its rightful owner. The means employed may be fiat, guilt, force, theft, fraud, subterfuge, or anything other than a willing and negotiated exchange of value.
In our modern world, each person is given the opportunity to make a conscious choice whether to be monkeys or men.
Conspicuously absent from this definition is race, birth, gender, heritage, cultural influences, or any factor other than that singular deliberate decision.
But men choose to live their lives upon their own merit. It is this very spirit of independence of thought and action that makes men the prey of the monkey collective.
As such, monkeys abandon their claim to the rights of men.
But monkeys could just as easily choose not to, and become men themselves.
Damn the collective and all the collectivists....
Who wrote the actual review? You or Baugh?
I wrote it. It's Baugh's book, my review.
The dude just put into a book what most of us here at freereupblic have been saying for the last year. The guy is probably a freeper and most of his ideas probably come from right here. Which is OK by me.
Thanks for the review.
I just bought the book - received it last week. My wife is about half way through and I'll be reading it after.
I have discussed many times here at FR the concepts of 'Starve the Beast" and "Leaderless Resistance". .....
That's what it's about. But be warned, the author swings his axe freely. No ox goes ungored.
I don't think he's a freeper, but he does share many (not all!) of our usual beliefs.
Folks won't agree with all of this books, and that is FOR SURE.
But it is extremely well written and thought provoking.
I hope we don't hit rock bottom as a fictional USA did in ATLAS SHRUGGED. I think we can purge the collectivist parasites from most important institutions of American life by simply limiting the federal government to its constitutional role and giving the right to vote to only those who can pass a simple high school level Civics examination in ENGLISH.
lol, it won't.
We're producers. We produce. It's what we do. To not produce is to not be who we are.
Maybe we can change what we produce to something not taxable, but part of why we produce is to provide for our own, and to "starve the monkeys" requires providing less for our own first.
...and that's how we're controlled: we produce to provide, and to not produce is to FIRST neglect our dependents. The system will hardly notice one stopped producer, but that person WILL suffer the consequences of stopping.
I have a rare Saturday when I am not working and when I have no real obligations, and it's cold and rainy outside. I might have to re-read EFAD.
I'm about half way through this book. The challenging of the "culture of niceness" is absolutely correct. His break down on economic development and productivity are insightful. His criticism of religion comes across as horribly arrogant. The other issue I have is the statement: "Grudgers can live in a society and get along fine", yet he comes across as a "don't be perfect, please, so I can be pissed off at you, too, you scum bag". We're all roadblocks to his productivity, even if we're self sufficient and leave the guy alone.
If he'd had only the economic discussions, it would have come across as ground breaking communication of evolution of productive technology and why automation leads to more regulation.
The endless paragraphs of why he fired people and others he has worked with make that half of the book real like a "why I hate people" vent.
And cutting out the venting would have made it a good book.
A lot of good ideas from these folks. But they have bete noirs which diminish some of their value.
I note that this books is available for the Kindle ($19.95 seems unusually high for a Kindle copy). I'm considering downloading it.
"But be warned, the author swings his axe freely. No ox goes ungored."
Good! I hate ungored ox for breakfast.
You can read a good portion of the first chapter on Amazon.
I seriously doubt that.
Therein lies the rub. How are we gonna do that?
....How about restricting the right to vote and hold office to FReepers? Robert Heinlein's idea was the franchise went only to veterans. The paradox is that only an oligarchy can rule a republic successfully for the long term, but an oligarchy leads to one man rule.
Sounds fine. But how do you see a restriction of voting rights ever actually happening? By what mechanism do you really think that our system will let that happen?
What I am getting at is that you are thinking in terms of "the way things oughta be," and I am sure that many of us would agree with lots of the ideas you have in that regard. But have you given any thought as to how you would actually get any of those ideas implemented? Do you really think that any Reps or Dems or Libertarians or Greens or anyone in power or likely to ever get elected would let you turn around and curtail voting rights?
Same thing with "return the fedgov to its proper constitutional role." Sounds awesome. As with any other idea you have for how things outght to be, how do you see it happening?
I don't disagree with any of that! It's a very imperfect book. I almost chucked it out a window a few times. But it is very thought provoking, even in disagreement.
In that area, you are on the same wavelength as the author.
Guerilla warfare can only succeed when those engaged in it have the population on thier side to the point were the people are not just supportive of your ideas but willing to give active aid & assistance .
Sadly we are not quite at that point just yet. Also the greatest weapon that a guerilla has is not a rifle or a machine gun or even a rocket launcher ,it is access to the internet & desk top publishing for the purpose of desiminating information & ideas that the powers that be deem subversive.
Good question. I suppose nothing will really change until man's basic philosophy changes...
Are we having a Socratic dialogue?
If so, I'm the wrong person for such an exchange. My major was history in college.
If you are waiting around for the "basic philosphy" of the people in charge to change, then I wouldn't hold my breath (I mean, what's their incentive?). The point of this book appears to be to change the strategy of the producers who are not in charge.
Are we having a Socratic dialogue?
No, we are just discussing how you are over-thinking the problem and under-thinking the solution ;-)
My major was history in college.
Then you would probably get a kick out of the historical perspective presented in the book being reviewed in this thread.
I agree with that.
If I recall correctly, that restriction came after a civil war/revolution, instituted by the winners, who were generally veterans.
. If you're an Ayn Rand fan...
I am, and thanx for the ping.
Good deal...
Thanks for the link.
It's an aggravating book and can be hard plowing, but it's so thought provoking that it's well worth reading.
I finished the book this weekend. Wow!
Tom Baugh can be at once incredibly perceptive, and annoyingly ascerbic, but I found I could easily excuse the latter in order to gain the insight from the former. Once you get what he's trying to do, you start to appreciate that he's not pulling punches, nor worried about offending your sensibilities, and all of it helps to prove a couple of points along the way. If it gets in the way for you, think of him as the Dr. House of philosophy.
With his man/monkey analogy, he is able to illustrate many of the problems in our country as we hurtle down the ever steeper slope away from our founding principles. Some of these problems are obvious and well-discussed here on FR. Others are problems that you knew existed, gnawing at the back of your mind, but couldn't quite identify. Tom makes these clear as well. Even though I agreed with much of Tom's philosophy going in, I found many of my preconceptions challenged, and I have changed my mind on several positions I formerly held, and I don't do that easily. You may come to think that his man/monkey construct is less an analogy, and more a semantic slight of hand to get you to think outside your cage. Or not.
I'll not give away the ending, such as it is, which in true Baugh fashion, is presented with "some assembly required", or better, "some of your own thought required". All I will say is that, even if you don't agree with most of what he says, and yet still ignore his warnings and make it through, you can't find much fault with the bulk of his recommendations for self-improvement. Those alone are worth the read.
The print is a bit tiny for older eyes, making the book look shorter than it is until you start into it. There are many referenced works which the author expects you to read or have read - some of which are necessary to fully understand the following sections of the book. These are all on the website if you want to pre-read any of them.
This thread is also on the site as a reference.
I found this book to be life changing. Having spent most of my life shovelling bananas at monkeys, I came to some of the same conclusions, and made some progress in the direction Tom suggests. He took me the rest of the way in comprehension and illuminated a good part of the path ahead for me. Knowing in advance, I'd have paid many times more for his book than he charged, and how often can you say that?
That's a great review, and I agree with you wholeheartedly.
Have you posted it on Amazon?
I can tell you, fresh Amazon reviews are a big help and also a morale booster for an author.
Thanks for your kind words.
I've never posted a review on Amazon, but I'll look into it. Do you have to have bought the book through them? I got mine off Tom's site.
If you ever bought anything via Amazon and have an account existing there, you can post a review. Even if you didn't buy that book or product from Amazon.
Done. Thanks!
Good deal. We riters got to stick together.
I think that his criticism is less about religion than it is about the Ponzi scheme that too many of its imnterpreters turn it into for fun and prophet. His advice is consistent: cut out the middleman. My advice is to seek spiritual sovereignty rather than spitirual slavery.
The three-legged stool of understanding is held up by history, languages, and mathematics. Equipped with these three you can learn anything you want to learn. But if you lack any one of them you are just another ignorant peasant with dung on your boots.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

"Feel the colonial splendour of old Penang in a beautifully restored, tranquil guesthouse"
The six gorgeous suites are spread across the Main House (Hall Suites) and various converted outbuildings (Garden Suites).
In the Main House, Hall Suites Saffron and Cardamom are mirror images of each other at the hotel of the stairs. Both have four-posters, handsome old rolltop desks from India, and airy balconies with space for a table and colonial planter's chairs. One overlooks the drive and a big tree, the other the pool. Hall Suite Cinnamon is larger, but lacks a balcony. Instead, it gets the master view over the front.
Despite being innocuous from the outside, Garden Suite Clove is in fact the largest of this group, at 800 sq.ft. Surrounded by a stone veranda, it is divided into a living area and sleeping space by an Edwardian partition; at the end lays a vast bathroom.
Second largest is Garden Suite Ginger, a single airy studio space under exposed rafters. Its best feature is a sprawling built-in seating area. It also has its own little garden, making it by far the most private realm.
Garden Suite Star Anise boasts a drawing room with an old display cabinet full of blue-and-white china and a silk-covered Chinese daybed. Steep stairs lead to the cosy bedroom and generous four-poster bed.
Breakfast is taken in the airy ground-floor hall, in the gardens, or on the terrace of the Main House (8-10am). Dishes include French toast, scrambled eggs and cereal, but their full cooked breakfast is famous (and for good reason). All is made to order, accompanied by coffee or tea, and served on delicate blue and white china. A delicious Asian breakfast can be ordered in advance; any requests can be catered for.
Complimentary afternoon tea is available daily from 4-5pm, which is a welcome treat after a day's exploring, and a range of drinks are available whenever you'd like.
Jo and Jim have created a map of their favourite surrounding restaurants, none more than 10 minutes' walk away, and can make helpful recommendations. While the neighbourhood lies well beyond the Heritage Site and the buffer zone, it still has plenty of lanes of pre-war shophouses. There are interesting places to eat in almost every other one, many catering to the local middle class and therefore the best in town.
Children are welcome; they will enjoy splashing in the pool and exploring the grounds, but it worth bearing in mind that there are lots of antiques around and the ambiance is fairly tranquil.
Babies (0-1 years), Children (4-12 years), Teens (over 12)
Clove Hall has 2 extra beds and 2 baby cots which can be used in any of the rooms (note only one child extra is permitted per room). The Garden Suites provide families with added space and privacy. Clove is the largest and has a huge bathtub; Ginger is the most private, with its own little garden
Baby cots are available on request
Remember baby and child equipment may be limited or need pre-booking

I like this one
too. The contrast of the red beard
on the lavender self is beautiful.
I had a similar one in my seedling patch, but the substance wasn't
great, neither was the bud count, so it's gone. I took a beautiful picture of it though
that makes me sad. I know I should
destroy the picture too. I hope
this one is good on all counts.

Twin Shadow
US: 10 Jul 2012
UK: 9 Jul 2012
George Lewis, Jr. is an honest man. He's been refreshingly upfront about his decision to grace his second album's cover—"I'm a good-looking guy"—as well as his adoration for his much-maligned home state of Florida, the superiority of Puerto Rican hairdressers, and his voracious appetite for drugs and women while on tour. His 2010 debut as Twin Shadow, Forget, followed a very real breakup with a breakup record, and was as personal as it was polished. His much anticipated follow-up, Confess, pushes his candor further. Like Forget, it forges an amicable compromise between INXS, Don Henley, and the Cure, but Lewis has foregone that album's collaborations and extensive revision this time around in the interest of expressing himself exactly how he wants. The outcome is looser, flakier, and more grandiose; Lewis sings every anthemic chorus to the cheap seats with aching abandon. Maybe it's inevitable that Confess wants for the discipline of its predecessor, and yet Lewis's ultra-confident, high-gloss sincerity is more often than not pretty hard to resist anyway.
The foremost collaborator Lewis parts with on Confess is Grizzly Bear's multitalented Chris Taylor, and while his specific contribution to Forget can be hard to parse out, comparison between the two albums suggests a line editor's pitiless supervision. Overindulgence is not among the many things Grizzly Bear could be accused of, and one imagines that Taylor would have advised against Lewis's here. The usual suspects of '80s synth-pop hedonism—antiseptic guitar reverb, saccharine keyboards, deceptively simple (or just plain simple) post-punk rhythms—are piled on while Lewis's vibrant vocals, by turns brooding and effusive, shoulder more of the melodic burden than before. The massive hooks of "Golden Light", "Five Seconds", "Run My Heart", and "The One" therefore emerge from a sound that's strangely dissonant and clumsy.
In a way, the artist-helmed production's inelegance resonates with Lewis's lyrics as an aesthetic of missed connections. He reportedly based his ten lovelorn tales—11 counting the bonus track at the end—on frustrated romances he has had on the road. The heart is accordingly a stubborn thing on Confess, yearning against wisdom and all odds ("Five Seconds") while standing against any attempts to breach its boundaries ("Run My Heart"). Lewis gives himself over to power games ("Patient") while arrogantly letting "The One" slip away from him. "I don't give a damn about the scene," he protests, except that "it's my only way back to you" ("You Call Me On"), but not before warning that "if you chase after me / Doesn't mean you can see" on "Golden Light". The backdrop of unresolved fragments, ambient synths, and limp solos, played emphatically like wheels spinning furiously in a ditch is therefore appropriate, however accidentally.
It also pushes Lewis himself to the front, an intention his generosity to the press and choice in album art indicate as plainly as the music itself. His interest in nostalgic textures earned Twin Shadow the categorical company of Neon Indian, Ariel Pink, Panda Bear, Washed Out, and other "chillwave" artists, but Lewis was always an odd fit: he's not as electro as Neon Indian, nor as cavalier as Pink, and above all, never as willing as any of them to get buried in the mix. Identifying himself as a man of color in the opening strains of Forget was a vivid resistance against his peers' facelessness, and his gentle, voluminous, unadulterated voice gave the album an unmistakably human touch. On Confess, he's jettisoned his modest sun-warped beginnings and become a full-on crooner. His voice carries the album, and indeed nearly compensates for its persistent faults: where the guitar and synth lines feel half-hearted, Lewis's vocal lines are fully-formed, giving and emotive, at once exuberant, vulnerable, and seductive.
But some of Lewis's conceits are simply less compelling than he seems to think they are, with or without his trusty pipes to give them coherence. Confess is front-loaded; its first five tracks would have made a killer EP, but the other half is much spottier. "Patient" attempts to conjure up some Prince-like menace, superfluous guitar wailing included; "Beg for the Night" aims for straight-faced synth-pop; and "Be Mine Tonight" aims for adult contemporary balladeering. All three fall pretty flat, making them guilty pleasure filler, if not exactly unlistenable: It's easy to hear what they're going for, and easy to hear them fail. "When the Movie's Over" is closer to guilty pleasure, period, with its okay verses and great goth-boy chorus. There's undeniable pleasure in its Depeche Mode-indebted excess.
One of the most satisfying tracks on Confess, however, is one of its quietest. "I Don't Care" caps off an album's worth of cocky rejection and abject begging with smoldering surrender to the futility of a real connection. With its martial, austere bravado, it's an R&B confessional in the mode of The-Dream and the Weeknd. Its refrain, "I don't care… as long as we can dance around the room / While we lie," recalls his early single "When We're Dancing", still his finest moment, and on "I Don't Care" as on "Dancing", Lewis is willing to turn a deaf ear to a relationship's breakdown in exchange for a few moments, however fleeting, of sensual bliss. Confess, which is big on emotions but a bit shallow and murky on the details, inspires a similar attitude.

Vivek Kundra, the federal chief information officer, is back from administrative leave.
White House spokesman Nicholas Shapiro confirmed Kundra was back on the job. Sources say Kundra had been seen in his Office of Management and Budget office today.

The spokesman also said Kundra had done community service for a 1996 theft and the White House was satisfied that he had fully resolved the matter.
The White House suspended Kundra after two former co-workers in the Washington DC chief technology office were arrested by the FBI last week.
"Mr. Kundra has been informed that he is neither a subject nor a target of the investigation, and has been reinstated," adds Shapiro.
Yusuf Acar, who until recently was acting chief security officer in D.C.'s technology office, is accused of defrauding the city through a falsified billing scheme. A U.S. magistrate ordered Acar on Tuesday to remain in jail.

Recent reviews
Good 3.9 /5 from 65 reviews
Although I booked a family room or connecting rooms, the hotel don't have any so we slept the 4 of us in 1 room. Not so comfortable...
This place is really close to a metro station and also many restaurants around the neighbourhood. The rooms were as clean as they can, but the place is pretty outdated. There were stains on the carpets in the room and throughout the hallways. The door on our shower didn't work so it was impossible not to get water all over the floor. Decent sized room though, and had a safe which was nice since they ask you leave the key at the desk when you aren't there.
Free fast wifi / very very friendly staff / great location. Room was what I expected for the price but clean and comfortable.
Great hotel for visiting PSG a 15 min walk to the ground
Stayed there for business purposes since was close to the office in Boulogne. Beds are comfy. Rooms small but decent and functional. Bathroomm way too small. Shower super small. Had a wet towel in my room when I checked in. The following night found a water bottle that was not mine and a pack of chewing gum went missing. It's about principle not just a chewing gum pack. Reported everything. Staff was very apologetic. Removed hotel taxes and offered 3 breakfast on the house. Rooms are well isolated.great decor if you like the Eiffel tower.

Question from Larry:
Is it possible to use 1 transformer to run 3 separate indoor pendant lights within 6' of wire-length of each other where each fixture contains 1 dimmable LED MR16 bulb of about 5.5W? I'd put the transformer in the 1st fixture, then use low voltage wiring from fixture 1 to fixtures 2 and 3. Each fixture currently has its own transformer, but that's because they were designed for 60W halogen bulbs.
Answer from Pegasus:Larry, I would suggest consulting an electrician to make sure your wiring is up to code. To answer your question, yes, it's possible to wire the pendants that way. It's similar to how puck lights are wired in under cabinet lighting applications.
Question from Paul:
Can this transformer be used to power LED outdoor hardscape lights that are specified to be dimmable and run on 8-12VAC (lights draw 2.4 watts each) (transformer would be mounted indoors)?
Answer from Pegasus:Paul, I would not recommend an electronic transformer for landscape/hardscape lights because generally speaking there is a great distance between the transformer and the lights. This causes an issue known as voltage drop. Instead I would use a magnetic transformer with either a boost tap or multi-tap feature to compensate for the long runs associated with outdoor lighting.
Question from Gene:
Can I use this with a 7W MR 16 LED bulb (equivalent to 35 watts)? The transformers I now have seem to have higher minimums than 7W, which I think is what causes the LED bulb to flicker.
Answer from Pegasus:Gene, it depends on what type of power supply your MR16 LED light bulb uses. Some are compatible with AC transformers but some require the use of a DC driver. If your light bulb is for use with AC transformers than this would be a good item since ti can handle the low wattage load.
Question from Allen:
I'm planning on picking up 2 Nora Xenon low-pro under counter lights which require a transformer. Would it be OK to use one transformer for both lights?
Answer from Pegasus:Allen, As long as the lights require a 12V transformer and do not exceed 60W, then yes.
Question from Richard Selman:
Can this transformer be used to replace transformers in track fixtures designed for Halogen MR16 Lamps in conversion to LED MR16 lamps? Most of the older halogen fixtures I use have so far been compatible with a range of 5.5, 7 and 10 Watt AC LED MR16 lamps but with fixtures using a different brand of 75W x 120 to 12 volt electronic transformer, I have encountered a problem with the 5.5 Watt LED lamp overheating and failing in about 15 minutes. I have concluded that this is because the 5.5 Watt LED is below the minimum requirement for this transformer though I have no literature by either by the lamp manufacturer or the transformer manufacturer to back this up. I also do not understand exactly why being below the minimum would cause the lamp to overheat and fail.
Answer from Pegasus:Richard, This is one of the biggest issues with LED MR16s, trying to find compatible power supplies. Unfortunately your best bet is to check with the manufacturer of the LED MR16 for the type of power supply to be used with it. It might require a constant voltage LED driver instead of a transformer. My opinion is that it's not the low load causing the LED to fail. If it's overheating then it might be that the LED MR16 lamp is not suitable for installation in a track head.
Question from Steve:
Can this transformer be used with LED light strips?
Answer from Pegasus:Steve, It's unlikely that this transformer will work with your LED light strips. Generally LED light strip requires a constant voltage driver NOT a transformer. I would recommend checking with the manufacturer for the exact type of power supply needed.
Question from David:
Do the hard-wired 120V connections for this transformer need to be inside a junction box like some of your other transformers, and do the 18 AWG wires get spliced with wire nuts directly to the 120V electrical line?
Answer from Pegasus:David, Generally a hardwire transformer needs to be installed in a junction box in order to safely store all of the wire connections. I would suggest consulting an electrician who is knowledgeable of local codes to help you determine if this is required. Yes, the wires from the input side can be wired to power using wire nuts.
