(Saved by CO detector overvoltage beeping) -- Gel cell charge voltage settings?
Any opinions on this?
Background: We have a Solar Boost 3024i solar charge controller that I installed on our 170 watts of solar panels.
Yesterday while working on the boat, the CO detector went off. I was a little apprehensive until I read the top of the detector where it said that the slow blinking light means over/under voltage. Quickly looking at the Victron battery monitor, I saw the voltage at 15v and current at 3.86 amps. Not sure if that current was hurting our 330 amp-hour Gel cell bank, but seeing 15 volts was scary.
It turns out that I had the internal microswitch set for monthly equalize. I must have gotten the on-off direction confused. So I took the opportuniy to review the other settings. Here's what I have it set for:
charge voltage 14.4vThis means that the solar panels will charge the batteries until they hit 14.4 volts for 2 hours. Then it will lower the voltage to 13.2 hours. (Of course, when the sun goes down, the charging stops.)
Any opinions on whether those are the right settings?
I can change the settings up or down in 0.2 volt increments. (If I get a separate device that programs the controller, I can be more precise. But for now, it's 0.2 volt increments.)
Re: (Saved by CO detector overvoltage beeping) -- Gel cell charge voltage settings?
Here's some advice for those with solar controllers that have auto equalize...
As for GEL batteries (most are Sonnenschein or Deka/East Penn) absorption should be about 14.1V. Deka has recently upped this "allowable" voltage on their GEL batteries but when I see properly charged GEL batteries going 8 to 12 years I have to assume that they really like 14.1V and the people who invented the technology, Sonnenschein, knew what they were talking about when they advised 14.1V...
My concern with this new Deka charging voltage allowance is that is to "accommodate" potential buyers with "dumb" chargers and not in the best interest of longevity, which is where GEL's really win..
On your float voltage gels actually float (Sonnenschein & Deka) at higher than one would assume. They like to be floated at 13.6V to 13.8V with 13.8V being preferred...
I would highly recommend the IPN ProRemote especially with GEL or AGM batteries...
Re: (Saved by CO detector overvoltage beeping) -- Gel cell charge voltage settings?
Thanks Maine! Now I have another reason to buy you a beer sometime.
I'll immediately increase the float voltage to 13.8 and decrease the charge voltage to 14.2. And I'm putting the IPN ProRemote is on my list of things to get.
best lead acid charge voltage settings?
Back around to this question again. We replaced the 2x4 gel cells with a single 4D lead acid. (LED lighting and dumping extra solar to the fridge/freezer compressor mean less drawdown. That and 540 watts of solar mean plenty of charging available. Next time around, I'll go for a bigger bank.)
If I may ask, what are the optimum voltage settings to use now that we have a lead acid battery?
In a way this a 2-part question. In the summer we live on the boat a lot. In the fall, we hardly do. So I've been wondering if the summer settings are too aggressive for a battery that sees very little discharge now (maybe down to 90% of capacity each day).
I'm not on the boat now, but my guess is that our settings are something like this:
charge voltage 14.2v
charge time: 2 hours
float voltage 13.4

New Braunfels police made two arrests late Saturday and early Sunday in what Chief of Police Russell johnson said was a conspiracy to commit a murder for hire. Samantha Kaderli Childs, 23, of New Braunfels and Jonathon Gene Benavides, 29, of the I iouston area were arrested and booked into Comal County Jail on charges of conspiracy to commit murder. The charge is a first-degree felony punishable by five to 99 years in state prison. Bail on each is $200,000. Childs is the wife of New Braunfels police officer Jeffrey Childs. Benavides is described as a long-time friend of the officer who went to school with him in the I Iouston area. Jeffrey Childs, 31, has been placed on paid administrative leave while police continue to investigate the case against his wife. Also placed on leave was a female NBPD dispatcher Johnson did not identify. The dispatcher was cleared of any complicity Sunday afternoon and returned to full duty. Johnson said no information had been uncovered that connected the police officer to the crime. "If we had evidence that officer Childs was involved, he'd be in jail with his wife," johnson said.

Page 2 A Property tax relief would cost $3.5M By Scott Mahon Staff Writer A proposal to change the city's tax and fiscal year would give taxpayers a six-month reprieve from property taxes, but would cost the city $3.5 million. The city would use reserve funds to make up the loss. Hie reserve fund was $ 11,774,916 at the end of July 2003. The city's fiscal year begins July I and ends June 30. Most cities in the state begin their fiscal year Oct. I, and property taxes are due at the end of January. The city contracts with the New Braunfels Independent School District to prepare its property tax statements, which are mailed out separately in May and June. City property taxes are due at the end of July. Under the proposal, the city would contract with the Comal County lax Assessor/-Collector to prepare its tax statements and the statements would become part of the county's tax statements. The county mails its tax statements in October, faxes are considered delinquent after Jan. 31, said County fax Assessor/Collector Sherman Krause. NBISD property tax statements are mailed beginning in October and are due Jan. 31, Qty Manager Chuck Pinto said. But Pinto said NBISD also is considering changing its fiscal year. "The school district would have to look at its reserves too and see if it could afford to change," he said. "And there are still a lot of questions we don't have answers to."

Representatives of several groups appeared ready to argue the pros and cons of the ordinance and several council members asked for public input on the issue. But Mayor Adam Cxjrk said the issue had been discussed at a previous hearing. "Traditionally, we don't have public input after a public hearing has already been held," Cork said. "It would be unfair. As mayor, that's my decision, but the council can vote to overrule me if they want." The city's current pat king ordinance allows off-site parking 200 feet from a business location. Cork said the existing ordinance is too ambiguous. "Does that mean to the driveway or to a parking space?" the mayor asked during the first reading. In an attempt to clarify the ordinance, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended off site parking be allowed 400 feet from a business. During the first reading of the revised ordinance, some council members suggested 800 feet. "I don't want to see it (the revised ordinance) get lost, and Id like to see public input," said District I Councilwoman Soma MuAoz-Ciill. "We've changed some things tonight, and people are here to talk about it," District 2 Councilman I -arty Alexander said. But council failed to overrule Cork's recommendation that no public input be allowed. Cork offered two amendments to the revised ordinance. "I'd like to amend it to read from the first parking space within 400 feet of the edge of a business,' Cork said. "I also want to remove the part that pertains to residential off-site parking because there is a conflict with another ordinance that allows off-site parking in residential areas 1,000 feel from a business.'' Cork then recommended the zoning ordinance, including off-site parking, be referred to the Development Code Steering Committee. District 3 Councilwoman Gale Pospisil urged council not to refer the ordinance to the committee. "I think we should move forward," she said. The Development Code Steering committee will take up the matter at 6:30 pan. March 23. FRONTand Center Murder for hire?

K-Rod traded to the Brewers
Mets reliever Francisco Rodriguez AKA K-Rod was suddenly traded to the Milwaukee Brewers, last night! His agent, Scott Boras, had posted K-Rod on the free-agent market a couple days ago. The Mets would have had to pay K-Rod $17.5 Million if he had pitched in 55 games this season, so the basicly bankrupt Mets (Madoff scandal) displayed urgency to trade him. The Brewers acquired K-Rod just a half hour after the conclusion of the All-Star game, last night! The Brewers offered two players (to be named later), and a little bit of cash to sign the superstar reliever. The Brewers will pay him $4.9 Million in the deal!
"Francisco has been one of the best relievers in the game for many
years," Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said in a statement. "He
is a high-quality arm who will be a tremendous asset to our bullpen as we
prepare for the final months of the regular season and playoffs."
"That is a really big trade. He can really help us, he is a great
player. It definitely gives us a spark. We are in first place now and getting
him gives us a little more help," Brewers (All-Star game MVP) Prince Fielder said. – espn

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - September 22, 1999, New Braunfels, Texas |o3uestMm0icropublishing T?¥?T G 2627 E 7PNDE A mJj I jl LJ 7 n Q m - EL ROSO, TX 79903Herald-Zeitung By Erin MAGRUDER Staff Writer Many western Comal County residents are comfortable with the quality of drinking water they receive from the Trinity Aquifer. What they might not know is their water supply is at risk of future contamination by harmful gasoline additives, Comal County Commissioner Jay Minikin said. Minikin is concerned that if underground gasoline storage tanks or connecting pipes leak, the water supply from the aquifer would become contaminated. His fears are not unfounded. On June 11, a pipe leading to an underground gasoline storage tank at a Texaco sta tion a in northern Bexar County was cracked and leaked about 900 gallons of gasoline. The station is at the intersection of Boigfeld Road and U.S. Highway 281, just south of the Comal County line. The leak occurred when an elderly man accidentally backed his vehicle into a gasoline pump, pulling on underground pipes and rupturing them. Minikin said emergency shut-off valves, which stop the flow of gasoline from the storage tank, either did not work or were erro neously turned off by an employee. "The accident was a rare occurrence," he said. "But we need to know how that leak occurred. If it could happen once, it could happen again." To date, the leak has contaminated IO wells in an area about a half-mile northeast of the gas station. Since the leak, two of the wells have come clean and no new wells have been contaminated in the past three weeks, Minikin said. The main contaminant is an additive called Methyl Tertiary-Butyl Ether (MTBE), which helps gasoline bum cleaner. Oral consump- See CONCERNS/5A ■KiL_ MILLIKINHummel shifting its focus By Heather Todd Staff Writer After fighting to keep its doors open this past year, the Hummel Museum is shifting its focus to its most popular art collection — the historical Hummel figurines. Officials at the museum, 199 Main Plaza, said this week they would return more than 300 pieces of two-dimensional art back to the Nauer family in Switzerland. Museum director Doreen Schaeffer said, "The family requested the return of the art, which has been on loan to the museum from the Nauer family since 1991. Preparations are being made at this time to send the art back to Switzerland." Schaeffer said the art, which already had been removed from exhibits, would be returned in the next two weeks. But officials said the museum still would have more than 1,500 historical Hummel figurines on hand, which were the most popular exhibits for visitors. The museum has one of the world's largest collections of Hummel collectibles on public display. Schaeffer said the museum's figurine collection was requested to be on display during a German-American Society conference next month in Austin. In December 1998, officials said the museum had a long-term debt of $350,000 and might be forced to close its doors. Museum president John Lovett said contributions and successful fund-raisers allowed the museum to survive. Schaeffer said, "We sent out word in December and got some very generous contributions from individuals and businesses that allowed us to stay open." Sister M.I. Hummel was a professionally trained artist who lived in Germany under the Nazi regime during World War II. The figurines were inspired by Sister Hummers original artwork. WAI Ll/Herald-Zeitung Tori Wichert (front) covers her eyes as she shares a ride on the Super Slide with Christina Mercier Tuesday night at the 106th Comal County Fair. The carnival midway made its debut Tuesday and also will be open from 6 to 11 p.m. tonight. Admission is $9 per person. The fair officially begins tonight with the traditional "Night in Old New Braunfels" celebration at 6 p.m. in the Comal Corral. For a complete schedule of this year's events, see page 5A.Fun at the fairLORAboard likes building plan By Peri Stone-Palmquist Staff Writer A $27 million proposal to turn the Comal Power Plant into a destination hotel was given a tentative nod Tuesday by Lower Colorado River Authority- board members. "This isn't all about money," one board member said. "This is about historical preservation. I think we should pursue this." The board did not take official action on the proposal during the three-hour workshop at Lake Buchanan. In fact, LCRA general manager Mark Rose said he planned to contact officials at Southwest Texas State University who also might be interested in the 163,800-square-foot structure on Landa Street near Landa Park. But LCRA senior project manager Jeffrey Singleton will continue working with Morgan Hill in Houston, who submitted the hotel proposal several months ago. Morgan Hill Interest was the only entity to submit a proposal. Singleton said a development agreement should be brought before the board in three to four months. Dunng that time. Hill w ill apply to have the plant listed on the national registry of historical places. He also w ill work on securing funding sources, Singleton said. LCRA, which has owned the plant since 1947, would lease the land in a long-term agreement and receive a percentage of any revenue generated. But it wouldn't see any money until the hotel was operational. "We're wfiling to take the risk," Singleton said. But their potential partner has a lot of integrity. Singleton said. Singleton said he was impressed by Hills work on a hotel in Bryan which had not yet been completed. Hill's proposal for the Comal Power Plant calls not only for a hotel but also for at least two new buildings on the 26-acre site, including a restaurant and clubhouse. Other features include hiking trails, a spa, tennis stands and courts, a putting green, chipping range and bridge to Landa Park. Singleton said these features implemented six of the top seven recommendations made by a city committee in January. Singleton said the hotel would bnng $55 million into New Braunfels over a 10-year period though new jobs, tourism, and sales and bed tax revenue. An estimated 45,000 tourists would come to the hotel every year, Singleton said. The plant, built in 1925, has been offline since 1973.

Retired teacher Barron Schiameus and retired social worker Everett Fey spent the past week dismantling the organ and locating problems. Schiameus said a major problem was a broken pedal, repaired this past week by Gordon Brown, a retired civil service worker. Some of the organ's stops, w hich activate one of the four sets of pipes, had been disconnected — a problem Schiameus was fixing. And the 188 pipes needed attention, too, so Schiameus and Fey spent most of Tuesday cleaning and tuning each handcrafted piece — a project still not completed. "These pipes — every one of them has to be tuned just right," Fey said. He has been fixing organs as a hobby for about 40 years. The Sophienburg organ has four sets of pipes — a 4-foot flute, an 8-foot stopped diapason, a 4-foot principal and a 2-foot flute. To tune the pipes, the individual pipe is placed into its slot played, letting compressed air rush through See PIPE ORGANZA WAI Ll/Herald-Zeitung Everett Fey tests one of the cedar pipes of an organ at the Sophienburg Museum, 401 W.

The weather in Cleveland has been described as "soggy" and that feels very accurate. It's been rainy and too uncomfortably cold for me to really wear the shorts I've been buying up in preparation for summer. So you can imagine my excitement when I got the opportunity to escape to Los Angeles for a few days to visit family and of course, take pictures of my outfits everyday (something I can rarely get to do here in Ohio)!
This textured wrap shawl from Yona New York was one of the first things I packed for my trip and it was perfect for a casual brunch at a local vineyard/restaurant just outside LA where we were staying. The weather in LA was not quite as warm as I had hoped so this shawl kept me warm and allowed me to wear shorts at the same time. I wore it both open and tied and loved it both ways. It was such a versatile piece, I kept thinking of new ways I wanted to photograph it.
It is made from a soft cotton that almost looks like a beige denim but it wears with a much lighter feel than denim. Throughout the front, there's black piping that adds an extra detail. It utilizes multiples ties to create another design element. I think what I like most about this shawl is that it's really well thought out which is something I really think Yona New York is known for. It's easy to wear and effortlessly chic at the same time.

Your Ford dealership isn't the only place to locate trusted repair parts to fix your E-150 Club Wagon. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class when it comes to all the cars, trucks, and SUVs on the road today. Obviously, you didn't buy your E-150 Club Wagon unless you understood you would be getting performance and value both impeccably combined into one vehicle. While it's not hard to locate replacement parts for Ford vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the absolute best are required to repair your automobile.
Your Ford E-150 Club Wagon engine won't remain cool while you are driving without many different parts working together, and when one stops working your engine is in trouble. A very important one is the cooling fan assembly, and it turns on when the engine temperature is reaching the high end of its nominal range. You might notice your Ford E-150 Club Wagon cooling fan assembly usually turns on when you are stopped or driving slowly; this is because the radiator is not able to scoop up enough air to function properly. While the cooling fan is running it is sucking air from in front of the radiator through its fins, the temperature of the coolant inside the core lowers and it re-enters the engine.
At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents here with enough expertise to help you buy the appropriate Ford E-150 Club Wagon part for your project or repair. Don't let a broken Cooling Fan Assembly spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by buying anything but the best replacement parts. Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Ford E-150 Club Wagon Cooling Fan Assembly parts for 2005, 2004, 2003 vehicles are available here... just click your year to find them.

MonadeView in iTunes
To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
One of Stereolab's many spin-offs and side projects, Monade (pronounced mon-ard) originally featured Laetitia Sadier and Pram's Rosie Cuckston. The duo began collaborating in the mid-'90s, and Sadier recorded the first Monade tracks in 1996 at Pram's studio, with Cuckston playing and also helping to engineer the session. Some of these tracks were released by Duophonic as the Sunrise Telling and Witch Hazel/Ode to a Keyring singles. Sadier continued to record at Stereolab's own studio without Cuckston, and one of these tracks, "Cache Cache," ended up as a B-side on Stereolab's Calimero single. In between her Stereolab duties, Sadier completed enough material for Monade's debut album, Socialisme Ou Barbarie: The Bedroom Recordings, which was released by Duophonic in Europe and by Drag City in the U.S. in spring 2003. For Monade's second album A Few Steps More, the band moved to Too Pure and expanded to include bassist/vocalist Marie Merlet, keyboardist Nicolas Etienne and drummer Xavier Chabellard. Monstre Cosmic arrived in 2008 and featured collaborations with the Bordeaux Conservatoire and the Toulousse-based group Momotte. ~ Heather Phares

Author of the bestselling erotic trilogy Fifty Shades of Grey has said in an interview that she feels "embarrassed" when men read her books and that the publicity surrounding her success "isn't fun" and is "too exposing".
Speaking to the BBC's Will Gompertz EL James said: "[I do find it embarrassing] particularly with men reading them. Because they're kind of my fantasies and I never for a minute thought that this would happen. So there is embarrassment but you just have to brazen it out," she said.
She has sold more than 60 million copies and there is a Hollywood film adaptation in the pipeline.
When asked how her life had changed since ceasing to become a "normal person" James replied: "I've really needed my sense of humour over the last few months. Because this stuff [publicity] isn't fun. I hate being on telly. It's too exposing. I wrote it for fun, not to do all of this."
The author refused to reveal if the characters Ana and Christian were based on anyone that she knew, only admitting that "there were traits" of people familiar to her.
James admitted there was no methodology, no outline and no structure when writing the book. "It just spilled out of me," she said.
She declined to reveal if she was contracted to do another three books, adding "I'm under no pressure" and "I do it for fun, I wouldn't do it otherwise".

What Makes Vital Health Saunas Truly Unique
& One-Of-A-Kind
Towards the end of Greg's 20 year Navy career, he started having back problems.
After he retired, he began looking for a holistic approach to cure his pain, as he admits to never being much of a 'take a pill for the rest of your life' type of person.
He got interested in sauna therapy and quickly figured out that it really helped.
That was 10+ years ago.
Greg also realized there were many flaws in the far infrared sauna market.
Fascinated with the possibilities, he set out to build his own company and to build better FIR saunas. That was over 7 years ago.
His company today, Vital Health Saunas, is stronger than ever.
Vital Health Saunas, is known by many experts to be the industry leader – setting standards for all other companies to follow.
Greg is now, so knowledgeable, on the far infrared sauna technology, that many well established experts call on him for his expertise & understanding.
A few of Greg's accomplishments:
Masters in community services
Health & wellness degree
Electronics degree
Engineering degree
In His Own Words:
"I knew by combining my experience in health & wellness, engineering, and electronics I could
build a unit that would offer the greatest amount of health benefits.
I set out to change people's life's and so far my team and I have been successful.
Our goal is to change the world for the better and that's what we're going to continue to
strive for well into the future"
Vital Health Saunas Has Had An A+ BBB Rating

The price was fair but a shoddy airline and changes to flight times made the journey uncertain and unpleasant Food was awful. No internet - transatlantic and had to pay for it on USA trip. Unpleasant airline staff. Dreadful entertainment. Old aircraft - far away screen and sound wasn't working. Only plus was the reasonable price but would rather NOT fly with them again… Read Full ReviewVisit netflights.com

God The Son (2 Of 15) by Clarence E. Macartney
This content is part of a series.The Faith Once Delievered (2 of 15)
God the Son
Clarence E. Macartney
Matthew 27:63
There are two opinions, two verdicts, about Jesus
Christ. Which is the true verdict? When the ship
reached the land after the storm that night on the Sea
of Galilee when Jesus walked on the sea and stilled
the tempest, His disciples worshiped Him, saying, "Of
a truth, thou art the Son of God." The other verdict
was that of the scribes and Pharisees, who, when they
went to Pilate and asked for a guard at the sepulcher,
lest His disciples should come and steal His body and
pretend that He was risen from the grave, said, "That
deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three
days I will rise again."
The "Son of God" or "that deceiver"-which was He?
Between the two conclusions there is no logical
stopping place. A celebrated New England preacher,
William Ellery Channing, once said that if we try to
follow Christ and obey His words, it makes no
difference what rank we ascribe to Him. But it
certainly does make a difference whether He was a
deceiver or the Son of God. And, as we shall see, He
must have been one of the two. Moreover, Christ
Himself took particular pains to ask His disciples
what they believed concerning Him and His rank. He
also asked His enemies, the scribes and the Pharisees,
that question about His rank, "Whose son is he?" The
idea that it makes little difference has found
expression, although in a reverent manner, in the
following lines by Richard Watson Gilder:
If Jesus Christ is a man-
And only a man-I say
That of all mankind I cleave to him,
And to him will I cleave alway.
If Jesus Christ is a god-
And the only God-I swear
I will follow Him through heaven and hell,
The earth, the sea, and the air!1
But when you think of it, such a position is absurd,
for if Christ is not God, as He claims He is, then He
was a deceiver, unworthy of being followed or admired,
and not only a de ...

The Long Firm
9pm, BBC2
And so this underwhelming adaptation of Jake Arnott's novel reaches its dramatic final act, which still leaves the nagging thought that this should've been a US-style, season-long affair. It's the 1970s, Harry's banged up, and in slow decline. However, our anti-hero finally gets to put his massive intellect to an approved use when he encounters long-haired prison sociology lecturer Lenny (Shaun Dingwall). Ultimately, even Lenny realises that he's just another pawn in Harry's newest game.
Cutting Edge: Sleeping With The Au Pair
9pm, C4
A brilliant and rather prurient look at three men who ran off with their au pairs. Alice, the Marquis of Queensbury's daughter, met Simon while he was doing time for armed robbery. The story of their au pair hell is the most fascinating.
But the three tales are cleverly intercut, so you have to wait ages for the "and then we fell, panting into each other's arms" part. The composers must be Bernard Herrmann fans, and they never miss an opportunity to crescendo whenever there's a juicy bit. Gripping.
10pm, ITV1
Another doc following the street sanitisers and bug killers of Britain as they go about their stinking jobs. Colin is paid to go foraging at the municipal tip, to recycle anything that might be of use. "You see all sorts," he ponders. "Bondage gear. Vibrators by the dozen." How far does recycling actually need to go? As every household chucks out around a ton of waste per year, the Dirtbusters have a never-ending task on their hands. And it really is all over their hands. Eww.

Massacre In Madrid
10pm, Discovery
"The attack could have been anywhere. Today, it was Spain." An investigation into the events of 3rd March 2004, when 10 bombs exploded without warning in Madrid, killing 191 people and injuring well over 1,500 more. Survivors and eyewitnesses recall the day when the security services were caught short, and the government lost control. "I was asking people, 'Where's my hand? Where's my foot?' I feel guilty, because I wasn't able to help anyone." Horrifyingly, three remaining bombs had failed to detonate.
America's Next Top Model
10pm, LivingTV
The moralistic motor of the show goes full throttle as Camille is further ostracised for implying in a spectacularly underhand way that Yoanna has an eating disorder. Well, if Yo-yo didn't before the show, she's probably got one now, as the judges have declared her (at a hefty size eight) to be too big for a fashion model.
Other double standards are all too evident (models have to sell products, but aren't allowed to be too commercial; they've got to want to win, but not be openly competitive), yet none of the aspiring models question this impossible version of femininity.
Xiao Wu
(Jia Zhangke, 1997)
FilmFour, 2.10am
Set in the director's own small home town of Fengyang, Jia Zhangke's acclaimed film follows Xiao Wu, a pickpocket returning home to find himself alienated from a society which is supposedly trying to better itself. A former friend no longer wants anything to do with him, yet he has made a good living for himself trading in illegal cigarettes, getting praise from a community whose police boast zero tolerance. His family reject him, but not before accepting a gold ring bought with his dirty money. Slow-paced and interpreted by non-professional actors, the story realistically conveys the inevitable downfall of the petty thief.
Bobby Friction And Nihal Presents (9pm, R1) has been successful enough to move to prime time - a major feat for a niche market of music predominantly made by second-generation British Asians. It's also a positive move by Radio 1 to support exciting styles that put creativity over mainstream appeal. John Peel (11pm, R1) follows in a new slot with a live session from Orbital - one of their last, as the Hartnoll Brothers are soon to quit.
Stewart Lee, the comedian who hit it big with Jerry Springer - The Opera, reinterprets Edward Lear's The Owl And The Pussycat by making the owl question the wisdom of sharing a boat with his natural predator on Inner Voices (11.15pm, R4).

No book that I actually finished has ever made me want more to take a shower after the last page (no, not even one by Chuck Wendig. I KNOW!) more than Ned Beauman's debut novel, Boxer, Beetle. It was therefore with a trepidation only partly assuaged by my knowledge that my best reading pal SJ loved this one that I began The Teleportation Accident.
The cover helped.
Misleading as it is as to its contents.
What's inside is often unspeakably foul, vaguely misogynist (at one point early on the phrase "non-mercenary vulva" is used to describe a theoretical female who might be kind enough to sleep with our protagonist) and reads a lot like one might imagine a (wildly unlikely) collaboration between Robert Silverberg and Douglas Adams would, if it were set in pre WWII Berlin, Paris and Los Angeles (with a little -- a very little -- and the wrong bits of -- Henry Miller thrown in). I was craving a shower before I'd even finished one chapter. But...
Well, I did not mention Douglas Adams lightly, except instead of gentle absurdist/parodic humor, the humor one is slapped in the face with every few lines is nasty and sordid and really pretty repugnant, but funny nonetheless. Funny enough to make even the most umbrage-taking feminist keep on reading, even if she winds up hating herself for it. As in chock full of lines like "the moon over Berlin shone bright as a bare bulb in a toilet cubicle." Ha ha ha and eww.
As for what it's about, well, it's sort of a companion piece to Boxer, Beetle in that it, too, is largely concerned with Germany in the 1930s, but where many characters in that book are obsessed in various ways with the Nazis, those in The Teleportation Accident, even though unlike the Boxer, Beetles they are from Berlin, are pretty much oblivious to them. Egon Loeser and his friends are more concerned about parties and pussy and scoring some decent cocaine -- or a corkscrew -- no, an actual corkscrew, jeeze -- than about world or local affairs. Politics is for people who can't handle art.* "History happened while you were hungover," the tagline says. And for these people it's so true that it's only when Loeser chases his ill-chosen anima projection, one Adele Hitler**, to Los Angeles (via Paris) that he gets even an inkling of what is happening to the Jews in his home city and country, and this only in that people he meets in LA assume he's a refugee like everybody else -- and assume he knows why they might think this.
So this book could almost be an exploration of how people could remain carefully, willfully ignorant of one of history's greatest crimes right up until it was too late for them to do anything about it. So described, this book becomes somewhat admirable (I'd posit it's this quality that got it listed for the Man Booker prize). But that makes it no less tough to take. But I suppose I'm supposed to admire that as well.
The book does, though, get a few bonus points for playing a bit with an amusing conceit -- that H.P. Lovecraft's fiction wasn't really fiction but just sort of veiled/fictionalized references to staggeringly difficult concepts in particle physics and dimensions and whatnot -- but like so many of the neat ideas tossed around in here, it doesn't get the attention it deserves. It's kind of like Randy from A Christmas Story opening his presents. Wow, oh neat, wow, yeah, and RIIIIIIIP into the next package. Except the Lovecraft stuff is not the toy zeppelin we see the kid asleep and cradling at the end. The Lovecraft stuff is the socks.
And speaking of the end, or rather, the four ends, the words "Scooby Doo Ending" kept coming to mind. And even though the very last bit where [REDACTED] turns out to be [REDACTED] in [REDACTED] is pretty cool and amusing, that last of the four epilogues is really the most interesting bit of the book. So interesting, in fact, that I wound up wishing I'd gotten to read that book instead of this one.
Ah, me.
*Of course, in no small part that proved to be quite true, as Adolph Hitler was famously a failed artist.
**No relation to Adolph, we learn in very casual passing.
Having read this, I now understand why Lavie Tidhar is such a fan of the book. It addresses some of his favourite subjects. Myself… I enjoyed it, thought it amusing in parts and cleverly done overall, but I wasn't taken with the engine which drives the plot. The title refers to a piece of stage machinery, first invented in the late eighteenth-century, which allows for the rapid, and apparently instantaneous, changing of scenery. In Weimar Berlin, Egon Loesser is trying to build a new version of that machine, but one that moves the cast around rather than the scenery. But during a test it goes wrong and dislocates both arms of the actor wearing it. Loesser is one of those horrible comic protagonists you find yourself inadvertently rooting for – he's self-centred, fixated on his sex life (or lack thereof), and nasty to pretty much everyone he meets. It is Loesser's lack of a girlfriend, and desire for the nubile Adele Hitler, which drives the plot, as Loesser chases her to Paris and then onto Los Angeles, at each place bumping into friends and acquaintances (some Jewish, some not) from Berlin. It all ends up with Loesser getting involved in a WWII project at a LA university to build an actual teleportation machine, which may or may not work and which may or may not have something to do with the strange murders which have been occurring on the campus. A fun read, even outright funny in places, although not particularly pleasant and often only saved by its cleverness.
I judged a book by its cover.
The cover is fantastic—I mean look at it.
It was screaming for me to pick it up and then, well that's a coincidence, the author's name is Ned Beauman. Could it be? Why yes. This is the son of Nicola Beauman, founder of Persephone Books Ltd.—and we all know how I feel about Persephone Books.
Ned, I congratulate you on the stunning representation of L.A.
"The whole city felt like an apartment for sale, which the estate agent had sprayed with perfume just prior to a viewing."
and the many other, equally unique sentences that I wanted to copy down and pin to my wall. However, I could have done without reading the whole of the book. Yes, I get it, you went to Cambridge and you're a very clever boy, but really?
Can someone please just put together a book of collected witticisms by Ned Beauman and call it good?
I almost stopped reading this a few times in parts I and II. In part III it develops into a more interesting story.
Egon Loeser, the sex-starved German stage designer at the heart of this strange and brilliant novel by Ned Beauman, is obsessed with two things. The first is a girl, inauspiciously called Adele Hitler, who he meets in Thirties Berlin, where the book begins. The second is Adriano Lavincini, a late Renaissance Venetian stage-designer who, in 1677, caused part of a Parisian theatre to collapse with his teleportation device – the accident referred to in the title.
Loeser follows Adele from Berlin to Paris and Los Angeles, in the hope that she will eventually sleep with him. On the way, he meets a cast of eccentrics: a caddish Brit, Rupert Rackenham, who seduces Adele and steals the Lavincini story for his novel (and who writes for The Daily Telegraph); a physics professor trying to build his own teleportation device; an Angeleno bookseller who collects science fiction by H P Lovecraft and a con-man in Paris who tries to pass off his own work as an undiscovered novel by F Scott Fitzgerald.
Beauman, whose first novel Boxer, Beetle (2010) interwove the stories of a modern-day collector of Nazi memorabilia with that of a homosexual Jewish boxer in the 1930s, is blisteringly funny, witty and erudite. A series of dazzling metaphors and similes pinpoint an experience exactly: the physics professor, for example, "had that odd conversational manner of some scientists… that is so doggedly awkward that it sometimes seems to verge upon flirtation". Only once or twice does this style, and off-beam subject matter, strain slightly. For the most part, however, Beauman manages to combine the intrigue of a thriller with the imagery of a comedy. It makes for an excellent read.
Living in Berlin just before the second world war, everything goes wrong for Egon Loeser, and it has nothing to do with the Nazis. In Ned Beauman's terrific second novel, longlisted this week for the Booker, his protagonist, a German set designer, is too sex-starved, self-pitying and, usually, hungover to notice that history is happening all around him.
At one point, just before he leaves Berlin to chase a girl named Adele Hitler (no relation), Loeser sees a group of what he thinks are students holding a bonfire outside the library. He assumes it is "some sort of silly art performance" and joins in, cheerfully burning the books of writers he envies. This comes at the end of a section titled Literary Realism – a dig at the one genre that doesn't know it's a genre – after which the book veers gleefully through hardboiled noir, SF, murder-mystery and romance, distorting each in turn.
There is so much pleasure in the unstable elements of the story that I couldn't help feel a loss as the wheels of the plot started to turn. Luckily, the setting up of various false leads, reveals and tricks are worth it for the brilliant finale. If there was ever any worry that he might have crammed all his ideas into his first book, the prize-winning Boxer, Beetle, this makes it clear he kept a secret bunker of his best ones aside.

When you haven't had sex in a long time, it feels like the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone. If you're living in Germany in the 1930s, it probably isn't. But that's no consolation to Egon Loeser, whose carnal misfortunes will push him from the experimental theatres of Berlin to the absinthe bars of Paris to the physics laboratories of Los Angeles, trying all the while to solve two mysteries: whether it was really a deal with Satan that claimed the life of his hero, the great Renaissance stage designer Adriano Lavicini; and why a handsome, clever, charming, modest guy like him can't, just once in a while, get himself laid. From the author of the acclaimed Boxer, Beetle comes a historical novel that doesn't know what year it is; a noir novel that turns all the lights on; a romance novel that arrives drunk to dinner; a science fiction novel that can't remember what 'isotope' means; a stunningly inventive, exceptionally funny, dangerously unsteady and (largely) coherent novel about sex, violence, space, time, and how the best way to deal with history is to ignore it.… (more)

Chapter 18Mature
"Don't panic, we do not want to have to shoot all of you. We are looking for the girl, Wynta Harling, we were told that you Insignificants were holding her hostage." The woman's gravelly voice rumbled out from the darkness. The startled and distraught throng whipped around as a tall, muscular woman stepped out from the confines of the shadows. Her platinum white was wrenched back in a tight bun pulling the skin taut over sharp cheekbones and puckering around terse lips. Tight, black leather pants clung to her brawny thighs and narrow hips, adorned with a belt to which a myriad of expensive equipment was attached.
She stalked closer, her gun casually slung over her shoulder.
"People, people, you can trust me. We just want the girl, her real friends are missing her and her family is overcome with grief and worry.
"Her family is dead, you manipulative, lying bitch."
There was a bang followed by another thud as the person who yelled out crumpled to the floor.
A hand covered Wynta's mouth before she could scream and pulled her down. Gryffon crouched beside her and gestured for her to be quiet.
"But they're going to kill everyone Gryff."
"Shhh, you are more important and everyone knows that. We need you if we are to have any hope of an uprising," he pleaded.
"But…" she was cut off as the woman's voice once again filled the clearing.
"Wynta, darling, we have someone here to see you. He has been so worried about you; he even started a campaign to find you. Please return to us, even if it is just to reunite with your fiancée."
"What?" she exclaimed, breaking from his grasp and straining to see over the crowd.
"Wyn?" he questioned warily. She watched as a tall, heavily muscled man stepped to the woman's side. His dark, brown hair was cut close to his deeply tanned skin and his light brown eyes glinted in the firelight.
"Oh come on Wyn, trust us. Please come back to me, you don't know how much I missed you." He smiled and took another step away from the protection of the trees.
Wynta gasped before spinning around and latching on to Gryffon's arms, her eyes wide open in shock.
"I recognise him. I know I've seen his face before."
"Well of course you have, he's your bloody fiancé," he spat, prying her fingers off him. "Go to him. Leave me. I thought there was no one back home waiting for you, I obviously was mistaken."
He looked away, his long eyelashes clumped together by brimming moisture.
"Just because I recognise him doesn't mean I care for him," she said.
"Don't be childish; you didn't even know your name until a couple of minutes ago. How can you say you don't have feelings for a man you obviously once loved enough to promise the rest of your life to?"
Wynta's teeth ground together and hot, angry tears threatened to spill.
"Don't you dare be condescending, I know what I feel."
She glanced up at Gryffon and saw the same tenacity and stubbornness in his forest green eyes that she knew would be in hers.
"You have to go back. We can't have some silly girl realising her feelings towards the enemy and possibly jeopardising everything we have and will fight for."
"How could you possibly say that? I don't care that I may have loved or held some affection for that stupid Dense. How can you ask me to return to someone who no longer is the one I want to be with?"
"What are you implying Ms Harling?" he breathed as he tilted his face towards hers, his nose millimetres from her own, his warm breath tickling her lips.
"I'm implying that there is someone else now; someone who has the looks and the brains."
She placed her hand on his chest and grinned as she felt his heart beat sporadically. His calloused fingers brushed gently over her lips; teasing; tantalising.
"What's his name?" he murmured as he lifted her head to meet his.
"Gryffon," she sighed into his lips, her fingers tracing a line from the corner of his eye, along the high contour of his cheek and down to rest on his powerful jawline; her thumb brushing against the place where their lips met.
She jerked back, "What are we doing? What about your friends who were just shot down!"
Gryffon cursed out loud and grudgingly stepped away.
"I would be swearing too if I had done something this inappropriate," a sneering voiced hissed into Wynta's ear sparking a cold tongue of flame in her gut. The Dense woman's finger dug into Wynta's hair and wrenched her backwards, away from the safe comfort of Gryff.
