Winds are forecast in the 15-25 mph range with gusts ranging from 20mph in NC KS to around 30 mph in east central Kansas, and when coupled with the low RH values and dry/cured vegetation, this brings the rangeland fire danger index up into the very high category for areas along and south of I70 as well as locations along and west of Highway 81.

Our mansion was built at the XVII th century. It has belonged to prestigious noble families. First to an inspector of the "Ponts et Chaussées" corps, which counts in its rows renowned scientists and Nobel prices.
It has been sold in 1753 to Nicolas Gaspard Boucault, great name of history of the canadian colony of Quebecq, councillor of king, particular lieutenant of the provostship, knight of the royal order.
In 1774 our hotel private individual has been purchased by Sir Bergeron de Chaumont, the "bailiff of the chamber of King", a great honor as it is the oldest corps of the King's house, limited to sixteen persons. They have the honor to be appointed to the internal guarding of its majesty, and thus attend all its everyday life. This responsibility was exercised under Louis XIV by colonels and captains of royal vessels.
The illustrious Hémart family who possessed numerous seigneurial lands, among which those of Saint-Germain has later lived in this mansion.

"We had a fantastic stay in Stephanies beautiful home -from beginning to end it was faultless.Stephanie has exquisite taste and very high standards and her home is a perfect reflection of this.There are VERY few homes decorated with the imagination and attention to detail that this one is. It is also very well located in the lovely town of St -Germain- En- Laye which is full of amazing food shops and has a great market several times a week.We had use of a car but never even got into it,as there was so much to do within walking distance. Stephanie and her wonderful family were also superb guests,communication was great and our home looked as if noone had been in it on our return. "Style,class,taste and standards"-Stephanie has all 4 in abundance and if you are lucky enough to get the chance to exchange with this family don't hesitate-It will be a "six" star experience. The only complaint I have is that I think she has ruined us for any other swaps ! Thank you again Stephanie. "
"We had a lovely stay here. The house is beautiful and Stephanie is a great host. She has detailed guides on where to go/eat/stay and directions to help along the way. The town is wonderful! It has everything you would need and very walkable. Market 3 days a week, shops, food, grocery. Hiking and playgrounds nearby as well as a castle. Very easy to just stay by home and see/do. I would highly recommend this house."
"First swap was a HUGE success!"
3 things they loved about the trip
- Beautiful home immersed in the true experience of the local culture
- The excitement of going someplace you've never been
- The comfort of a home over a hotel
"We truly enjoyed our first home swap. It was perfect. The home was exquisitely detailed, the town was postcard georgeous, and the locals were extremely welcoming. Every day was an entirely different experience. We had days where we played "tourist" and experienced all the beauty that Paris has to offer, but more exciting were the days where we drove 2.5 hours north to catch a stage of the Tour de France, or intentionally got lost in small countryside towns, or simply hit the town market for bread, wine, and cheese and dined in our beautiful back yard garden."
"Wonderful, chic home in a fabulous part of Paris"
3 things they loved about the trip
- Organisation, Stephanie is a master at making it really easy to navigate the house
- Deco, simply beautiful
- Location, minutes from Versaille and the metro to central Paris
"This is a truly fabulous house, spacious and immaculately presented. You feel at home the minute you walk through the door."
"A unique and very special home "
3 things they loved about the trip
- The welcome and generosity of Stephanie the owner
- Wonderful interior styling & super comfortable too
- showering in the beautiful blue bathroom - heaven!
"Local shopping in the specialist food stores was a treat, Stephanie is a great host and provided much information to make the most of our stay. The house was a very welcome calm sanctuary away from the heat of the city in the summer, and is a great base for visiting Versailles or for day trips into Paris."

But Mr. Klavan only suggests all this in biblical terms and images. I've no idea why he did not connect the Hell he is suggesting to the Hell on Earth so many other humans had to endure in the past and even today as subjects of Leftist tyranny.
So I will take it that extra step. Ironically, it will be the Left who'll be the most unprepared. Pray for them when you pray for America and yourselves. Honestly, they know not what they do.
When the liberals and Leftists are no longer needed, they will be chewed up by the all powerful state they helped create.
When the false promises fail, as they must, the most visible Leftists will be sacrificed as scapegoats. The process is so
The schnooks will be demonized as counterrevolutionary fascists, forced to confess, and then imprisoned, brutally punished, and slowly and painfully killed. It may even be broadcast live as there will no longer be need to hide these practices. Their consequences will serve as warnings to all the rest of the subjects.
"Be still, accept your fate, and we may let you live a bit longer and without extra pain."The promise of The Terror will have come into its own.

text: I have been sick about 3 years and no one knows why. Currently, I'm dealing with daily nausea and weakness and I'm bedridden. I always feel like I'm getting the flu, but I never do. I take Citrucel, colace, Mirilax and Prevacid. I've tried Zofran, Meclizine and Phenergan, but the usually don't help. Nothing over the counter helps either. Usually defacation alleviates nausea, but it comes right back fairly quick. When I feel the most sick, my blood pressure and body temp drops significantly, but never to 'dangerous' levels. All my blood work is normal. I have either diarrhea or constipation, but nothing in between. I have nearly daily migraines I found out I have celiac last Jan and hoped going gluten free would fix it, but the nausea has actually gotten worse. I keep hoping I'll just get the full blown flu and then at least I'd be over it. My GI doc, internist, OBGYN, neurologist and family practice doc know what the problem is. When they can't figure it out they always go back to saying it's psychiatric . As soon as they reach a roadblock they just tell me to cope with it or go see one of my other docs. It feels like they don't want to admit that they can't figure it out. I'm starting to hate doctors and I've been unspeakably depressed as a result of all this. I've had moments that I wished I wouldn't wake up in the morning. I am on antidepressants and my shrink says I'm stable with that. I've been on them for decades so wy would I suddenly develop side effects. I want to emphasize that I am NOT suicidal and would never do that for several personal reasons (religion, family). I am at the end of my rope. Everything seems hopeless and I'm only 43. I'd love any thoughts regarding this. Thx!

When i go to the MDK control center "internet acces", it is said that my LAN connexion is not connected.... But i've set up a cable connexion, and i'm connected on this forum, so control center is mistaking himself, or lying...
And reconfiguring a new eth0 does not change anything.
I have no firewall, no proxy's, dhcp works, i've the DNS servers...
Can someone give me a push?

Finding Their Roots: In Search of My Duterte Ancestors
"Ang hindi lumingon sa pinanggalingan ay hindi makakarating sa paroroonan." - Jose Rizal
I have always been fascinated with family history and genealogy because I never stopped looking for my roots and where I came from. In fact, it was one of the reasons why I took up BA History in university and not got for a potential money-making career with courses like Nursing, Engineering or Information Technology. I know there is no value for my course in a third-world country like the Philippines but I do know that there is something money can't buy.
It is the knowledge of your ancestors and the origins of where you came from. Even before 2009, I was already doing a lot of research on my family history so it dawn on me, what if trace my family tree back to the earliest known ancestors that I have. I did not expect to stumble upon famous ancestors or even well-off, rich "cousins." Some may say if I earn money out of it, the answer is NO. Others will wonder what I'm going to do with the data, the answer is just plain knowledge. I want to know and I want to share it to the next generation.
The sad thing is that people don't bother knowing about their heritage. No one wants to talk about stories from the past, people who have died a long time ago, or reminiscing painful memories of the past. I can't blame them but putting a lid on your past is just erasing your identity and the identities of future descendants from now on. I want to preserve history.
So after so many hours and years of doing this, I found out that my parents are both connected by a single family. And to my surprise, my father's grandmother's lineage is descended from Juliana Duterte and my mom's grandmother's lineage is descended from both Escolastico Duterte Sr. and Venancia Duterte (whose daughter Prudencia Duterte is the wife of Escolastico). Juliana and Venancia are sisters and daughters of Francisco Duterte and Romualda Fulgencia.
|My Paternal Line
|My Maternal Line
The truth of the matter is, I never expected that our current president Rodrigo Duterte would become the most powerful man in the country. And I realized that I'm somehow related to him, it may not be a direct relation but I'm related nevertheless.
|President Rodrigo Duterte's family tree
Interestingly, the surname DUTERTE is derived from the French word du tertre, which means "from a hillock" or "of rising ground." If I were French, I would have pronounced it as "Du-tey." And the French lineage can be traced back to Pierre Duterte (1670-1740) with his descendants still living in Tourcoing, Nord, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France.

For 25 year old attorney, Hindley Hagen, life is all about staying one step ahead of the game. Avoiding surprises and keeping people at a distance is the only way she has to protect herself from the painful scars and shattered memories of her past. When Hindley is offered a new position at her prestigious Austin law firm as sports agent for pro skateboarder, Rory Gregor, she's ready for the new challenge but completely unprepared for the man who captures her heart. Suddenly, Hindley is thrust into a world where protecting all their secrets could cost her everything; her family, her career, and maybe even her life.
Professional skateboarder and X Games royalty, Rory Gregor knows what it's like to be at the top. But after two years of bad decisions and one-night-stands, he's having to make a comeback he never anticipated. Hiring a new agent may be what his team thinks he needs to rebuild his career, but what if it costs him his heart in the process? Just when he thinks he's posed for a comeback, secrets from his past threaten to ruin his chance for gold and a new love. In a sport where trust means everything, this time… it may not be enough.
Book 2:
Find out the dramatic conclusion to Book 1 of the X-Treme Boys Series, Skater Boy.
For the first time in her life, Hindley Hagen has something she's always looked for, unconditional love. As the attorney and sports agent for X Games golden boy, Rory Gregor, she's worked hard to help him make a comeback in a professional sport that isn't always so forgiving. This time, he's won more than just a gold medal, he's captured her heart. But now, she's trapped, caught in the snare of a man playing a deadly game. She must choose, protect the one man who's made her come alive for the first time in her life or risk losing everything she's worked hard for, including him. To save them both, Hindley must do the unthinkable or face a life without the one thing Rory Gregor has finally given her; hope. But protecting them means her own demons may surface and from that, there is no recovery. Hindley must learn the hard way, in love and life, there is no such thing as a safe secret.
Trust isn't something that comes naturally to Rory Gregor. Even his own professional achievements as an X Games multi-gold medalist can't wash away a childhood filled with abuse, which has left him with a lifetime of insecurities and self-loathing. But now, he's finally found a woman who makes him feel the one thing in life he never thought possible-smart. With Hindley Hagen by his side, he's skating better than ever, securing deals that could make them both rich. Yet something is off. Just as he gets inside the walls she's constructed to guard herself, she pulls away again. She's hiding something. But then, so is he.
As their need to protect one another grows to escalating heights with deadly consequences, will Hindley and Rory finally find the future together they so richly deserve? Or, will they discover the one thing that could destroy them both forever is actually each other? Find out in this exciting conclusion to the first book in the X-Treme Boys Series, Skater Boy.
Tbird's Thoughts on both books!
I was totally blown away by these two books. By looking at the title and cover, I went in thinking this was going to be a story about a dude who rides skate boards, how am I ever going to connect to this character. It didn't take long for me to realize I had judge a book by its cover and thank God I read the story because it was absolutely fabulous. The author gave us four characters, each so unique and interesting, yet they come together to form a family. I ended the second book jealous that I couldn't pick up and move there and be part of their little group. I was thrilled to know
there are two more books coming soon, so my new little adopted family will continue on.
there are two more books coming soon, so my new little adopted family will continue on.
Hindley Hagen, oh she is so precious. Being raised by a single mom till this mom found her rich Prince Charming, became part of a blended family. Her step father took her in from day one and made her his little princess, but the step sister wasn't so accepting. Geneva made it her mission to try and screw up Hindley's life any way she could. Now as an adult Hindley has a law degree, her own place and as the story starts out, a step sister who is getting married. On the final night before the wedding Hindley goes out to party with the step sister and her friends at her step fathers request. She was supposed to keep Geneva out of trouble, but instead she ended up in the alley drunk off her butt and needing to be rescued from a jerk……..in walks Skater Boy.
Rory Gregor watched Drunk Girl and knew he should mind his own business. He was at the club to pick up a one nighter and get drunk, have some fun and move on to the next day, but something about that girl, throwing up in the alley with a jerk trying to get her in a cab drew him in. He went and became her rescuer, found where she lived and stayed with her that night. As you might say the rest of history; but not a smooth road for them.
Hindly later became Rory's lawyer concerning his career that he was trying to reclaim. After a few years of bad choices and old baggage he had to make a come back in the world of skating. Hindley was on a mission to help him with that, but she was falling in love with him. Rory had an abusive childhood and a life time of secrets that he wasn't going to let Hindley find out about, little did he know she had her own closet of secrets and invisible chains that kept
her from letting people get close.
her from letting people get close.
This is a story of two broken, terrified young adults, trying to do their best to be survivors in a world that no one prepared them for. Love, betrayal, lies and evil people like Geneva who wants to hurt them, all litter their road to
happiness. Will Rory and Hindley be strong enough to trust each other and navigate their way through to a happy ending, or will they decide they aren't worth the fight and give up. Will they be able to come clean with their hidden shame or will the fear of exposure be enough for them to never give love and acceptance a try?
happiness. Will Rory and Hindley be strong enough to trust each other and navigate their way through to a happy ending, or will they decide they aren't worth the fight and give up. Will they be able to come clean with their hidden shame or will the fear of exposure be enough for them to never give love and acceptance a try?
I can't stress enough that these books are NOT just about X games and the sport, that is but a small portion of the story. This is about two people who seriously deserve to find happiness and love and the courage they had to go for it. The love they found with each other to overcome all the negative things they had to hear and endure just to get to a place they could feel accepted and loved. There is some tense moments, competitions and moments that melts your heart and make you reach for the tissues. I was glued to the story as soon as I finished the first chapter. The author writes this in a way that sucks you in and draws you closer to the characters. I had a difficult time putting the books down once I started. Dana, Hindley's friend had me laughing and wishing I could be more like her with each turn of
the page. Leif, Rory's friend, had me falling in love with him even though I know now that is pointless, but he is just a heart melting character who I want to find happiness soon. I was very impressed with Kay Manis' ability to bring these characters to life and entertain me while also exposing important issues that society loves to hide. Please make sure you get both of the Skater Boy's books and be ready for the next books in this series. You will NOT want to be excluded from this group as they conquer the world.

SKATER BOY (X-Treme Boys Series, Book 1)
Sensing my anxiety, Skater Boy headed toward my bedroom door but I didn't want him to leave, not yet. I had an overwhelming need to touch him so I reached out and caught him by the arm. His muscles were defined and hard and I held on longer than I should have. His eyes looked down at my hand then back up to me.
"Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for last night. I really appreciate you taking care of me," I said. I could see him working hard, trying to figure out if I was telling the truth or not. I'd been right about his height. He was tall, over six feet, but my five foot eight stature seemed to match his perfectly.
"Why do I feel like that might have been one of the hardest things you've ever had to do?" I raised my eyebrows in disbelief, shocked at how well he already knew me. I prided myself on not needing anything from anyone, so words of gratitude from me were few and far between.
"Probably because it was," I answered, pushing past him and through the door on my way to the bathroom, feeling every bit as vulnerable now that I was fully dressed as I did lying next to him in nothing but my underwear. Somewhere deep inside, I wished I was back there, though, back in bed with him, relishing how beautiful he was.
MY SKATER BOY (X-Treme Boys Series, Book 2)
Today was the day I'd dreaded forever, the day I realized I was the source of Hindley's pain and anguish. It truly was me I had to protect her from, not all the others threatening to harm her. The only way I could do that now was to leave her alone. I bolted out of the elevator, running to my room as fast as I could, afraid I may actually vomit in the hallway before getting to the bathroom. Losing Hindley wasn't an option, but the choice wasn't mine to make. Suddenly, that one realization, the fact I was no longer in control, scared me more than anything I'd ever known.
Kay Manis lives in Austin, Texas with her husband, daughter and five pound Chihuahua affectionately named "Tiny." When not writing or researching you'll find Kay reading a good book, eating out with friends or napping.
Kay's biggest goal in writing is to amuse, inspire and entertain. If she's done that for you then she says she'll always consider herself a success.

Let's see what we have in the Thomas B. Reid Family Photo Collection today.
Below is a photo of the birthplace of Thomas B. Reid, as the back of the photo reads: "Birthplace, Cumberland, Md".
You might be wondering why I am so certain that this is the home that Thomas B. Reid was born…Well…I began doing some background research on Thomas, and in the New York Passenger List dated December 7, 1922, Thomas was returning from Kingston, Jamaica to New York and the travel document stated that he was born in Cumberland, MD.
I have other documents showing that he lived in Maryland, but he had also lived in West Virginia. I also connected through Ancestry with one of the descendants of Thomas Reid, and it is documented that Thomas was born in Cumberland, MD. So it is very probable that this is Thomas' Birthplace.
I then came across the photo below:
On the back of the photo it says: "Our Old Home". I am not positive that this is the same home as the one above this one, as it is clear that their are fewer windows on the house in the front. It is possible that this photo is of the homestead of Thomas' Mother & Father Lavinia & Frank B. Reid, as they owned a home in West Virginia. The writing on the back had different handwriting than the one above. As I do further research and comparisons of other photos in my possession I hope that I will be able to know for sure what home this is.
As I stated earlier, I have been in contact with one of the descendants of Thomas, and it is possible that he holds a lot of the answers for me. My goals is to post and make these photos available to their family members.
Now of course if you know anything about these phortos or are a family member please drop me a message.

Fast excellent service
Nov 11, 2005
I had a hole in my intermediary pipe (the one between the engine and muffler) and brought in one I had bought with a replacement muffler- though the pipe ended up not fitting, Ron made an attempt to put it on there and explained clearly why my extra pipe wouldn't work. Then he repaired the existing pipe and tested its strength to make sure I wouldn't be back in a week later. Great service.
Mar 26, 2006
I called, and the friendly woman on the phone said I should haev it in by 4:00 so they can take care of my car. Traffic was bad, so I showed up to their shop at 4:40 on a Friday with a gaping whole in the pipe to the muffler. They happily took my car, spent the time to check out the problem and, because they didn't have the particular pipe i would have required, made one for me. All told, it took them 1/2 hour, and cost about $115, which included 3 yr warrenty. I had shopped around ahead of time by phone, and the local midas had quoted me around $150 (not sure what kind of warrenty they have). My car sounds fabulous.
May 25, 2006
I have been doing business with Ron's muffler for many years and I always get and excellent Service a have no complaint. I will always got to Ron's for my exhaust repair. Thanks Abby for you standing service. José

My catalytic converter was recently stolen from my Toyota pickup. I had the converter replaced at an excellent shop in Oakland. Later I was reading up on the rash of catalytic converter thefts and saw that having the converter welded on might make it tougher to steal. Ron's muffler has gotten great local reviews, so I went there to see if I could get the welding done without having to make an appointment. They did the welding right there on the spot, didn't charge me, and said they give customers a price break when replacing a stolen converter (which is happening a lot). I was very impressed with the service, & the staff. If I have any muffler/exhaust problems this is where I'm taking my vehicle.
Mar 16, 2007
These guys went out of their way to save me money on an exhaust system repair. They made/bent the parts themselves. It was very reasonable and worked. FYI - i'm female and they talked to me as if i were an actual thinking, competent adult.

They were fantastic. They repaired my car quickly and the price was extremely reasonable.

ALTON — Authorities Thursday charged Ta'mon F. Ford, 18, of Alton with two counts of first-degree murder in the shooting death of 11-year-old Romell Jones.
Ford, of the 400 block of Emerald Avenue, is being held without bond in the Madison County Jail.
Jones was shot and killed in the Alton Acres public housing complex Monday evening as he waited for a ride to basketball practice. Madison County Coroner Steve Nonn said the boy died at 6:02 p.m. Monday at OSF Saint Anthony's Hospital from a single gunshot wound to the chest, an autopsy revealed.
Authorities say the shooting was the result of a dispute between two groups over social media that did not involve the boy. Details of the dispute were not immediately provided.
The Major Case Squad of St. Louis was activated in the wake of the shooting, and Maj. Jeff Connor called a press conference for 4 p.m. Thursday to detail "significant developments" in the case.

Hi everyone!Let me quickly introduce myself... I'm an old-time 3dsmax user that is now trying to explore the technical side of Maya...I've just started studying the "Maya Python for games and films" book, and the very beginning I've found something confusing.In an empty scene the polySphere command creates... a sphere: its nodes are one input called polySphere1, it's connected to the shape node pSphereShape1... then we have the shading node and, unlinked, the transform pSphere1.Ok...So why it's written that the 2 node names returned by the command are "a transform node and a shape node"?.The command returns polySphere1... the "input node", not the "shape node".What am I missing here?And more... I can use the command in query or edit mode...it's fine... but I can use any node name to identify the object... even a node that doesn't have (for example) a radius attribute, but I can modify the radius as well!It's very confusing to me, probably because I come from 3dsmax that works in a vert different way.May any of you make some light on this stuff, please? Thanks in advance!Daniele
the polySphere node is called a construction history node. you could think of it as part of the stack in MAX. The polySphere node only contains the parameters to create a sphere - it is not the sphere itself.
the shape node is the geometry, it is the triangles, vertices, faces and uvs.
the transform node is where the geometry is in world space. so it contains the position, scale, rotation, pivots, etc.
Hi,thanks for your answer!Yeah,it sounds clear. PolySphere holds the creation information while the shape node holds the actual geometry.My problem is that I don't understand why the book refers to both nodes as "shapes" and how is it possibile that in edit and query mode the command could access data from the construction node (such as Radius) even using as Name flag the name of the shape node. Maybe is it possible because of the connection between nodes?
And I have another really really silly question: what's the name of a mesh? I mean... in maxscript you can get access to a mesh and all its data using the getnodebyname function or simply with $objectname... and that's it!Here in maya it seems that this idea simply doesn't work because a mesh is in fact composed by more than one node...so you have to address exactly the one containing the specific info you need.
Sorry again for my very noob questions,but I'd really like to learn deeply, so I think it's better to dig to the foundations
in many contexts, the transform name will be acceptable as the "mesh" name, although technically the shape node is the mesh name.
many of maya's internal commands will accept either the transform or the shape node as a convenience.
Instancing in Maya works by pairing multiple Transform Nodes to a single Shape Node. There is only every one copy of the geometry, the shape node, but it can be associated with any number of transform nodes.
Hi!So I have to think about nodes as different parts that define the look, the position and so on of an object in my viewport.The mesh itself (vertices,polygons,UVs...) is the Shape Node, but its transformation in stored in a linked node (Transform) that I can edit separately.Maybe a little confusing coming from another SW but it sounds logic after all Thanks again!
P.S. may I ask what happened to this site? It seems to be the only real website for tech artists but it looks like an abandoned place...:?:
most of the discussion has moved to the Slack Channel...
Interesting... How can I join the Group? I see it requires specific email or an invite. ..
Done!!Thanks Theodox!
Hi Daniele, there's cool tutorial that may help as well,
I hope this helps

Editor's Opinion
Matthew Othus
The WRKE radio station has begun branching out this semester and has grown in popularity since it started expanding and promoting their music at various sports tailgates and open-mic nights.
One of the biggest reasons I started listening to the radio station was the startup of late night music on the back quad. In case you didn't already know, WRKE was playing music through the nighttime that was broadcast, outside, to a small section of the back quad.
Recently however, Campus Safety and even the Salem Police Department have gotten involved, shutting down WRKE's speakers and leaving the back quad more silent than a summer night.
Why? Supposedly, it is a violation of the Salem Town Ordinance to have music playing too late into the night. My only question is: who exactly is it bothering?
The past evening, I went onto the back quad and was greeted by the graceful sounds of Pat Benatar's "Love is a Battlefield." This song has got to be one of my favorite songs from the 80's, and what better genre is there to brighten your night?
As the music played, I stepped around the corner of Colket Center. "We are Strong" blared, but as I turned the corner, I had trouble hearing the verses afterwards. To test the range of the music, I decided to walk both towards Olin, and then Towards trout, just to indulge my curiosity as to the range of the music.
The range is virtually nothing. You can hear a faint murmur of sound about 30 yards or so away, but it's nothing compared to the sound of many noises within the area at the time. One car honked their horn for a good 10 seconds, trying to signal someone to come outside, and that was more noticeable than the music.
So who exactly is the music bothering? Every person I have talked to who has walked by the Colket Center late at night says they love the musical atmosphere it provides. It's awesome to hear 80's hits as you become so tired; all you can think about is your bed.
Ultimately, I don't expect WRKE to be able to broadcast their music to the back quad anymore, which is a shame. However, I am curious as to your thoughts on the matter. Did you like the late night music? Did it bother you? Why? Write to us anything you wish to respond with, and it might even get published in next week's Brackety-Ack. Send all e-mails to myself at email@example.com.

You may never look at a hotel the same way again. Oh, sure, you'll still see the elegant chandeliers and vacuumed carpets and uniformed staff ready to serve you. But after reading Jacob Tomsky's Heads in Beds: A Reckless Memoir of Hotels, Hustles, and So-Called Hospitality, you'll also start noticing the tricks, the scams, the coded speech, the covert games employees and guests play. And you'll have learned how to play along.
Want a comp bottle of bubbly sent to your room, or a no-fee late checkout? Tomsky explains who to talk to and how. What about free treats from the minibar, which Tomsky calls "that tiny little fridge of joy"? Pull an easy room switch or simply dispute the charges on checkout and watch them vanish. But beware: if you were rude earlier to the bellman, Tomsky warns against using your toothbrush tonight "or ever again, really."
Crude and shocking, poignant and hilarious, Tomsky combines elements of memoir, guidebook and cautionary tale to produce a wild and crazy ride through his decade of working in luxury hotels in New Orleans and New York. With a career-limiting BA in philosophy, Tomsky, born in California to military parents, began his hospitality career in valet parking. Here he witnessed colleagues strip gears, scrape fenders and steal CDs from guests' vehicles before smoothly emerging from the parking garage and gliding to a stop with the suck-up line, "AC running and classic rock on low for you, sir."
For the personable and articulate Tomsky, it was a short hop from there to the front desk and the front lines, where he saw guests at their worst: vulgar, drunk, rude, impatient, bringing their own cockroaches in baggies to score a free stay, demanding upgrades with their heavily discounted online-booked room. Tomsky quickly learned to retaliate. He lied ("You want a king bed? But double-bed rooms are larger.") He key-bombed annoying guests, ensuring their key card wouldn't work.
In Heads in Beds, sex features prominently in myriad ways: employees in guestrooms; guests in the business centre; misplaced sex toys and blow-up dolls; men who let their robe or towel slip, Dominique Strauss-Kahn style, when the housekeeper enters; hookers in business suits who give themselves away by avoiding the front desk and heading directly for the elevators.
Employees fare scarcely better than the guests. Tomsky describes how staffers steal booze and rip off management. He exposes the heavy kickbacks concierges get for booking certain tours. He reveals that top-earning bellmen make six figures a year, all cash. He suggests the mind-numbing, soul-sucking tedium of the job gives staff good reason to become disgruntled, dishonest — and even slightly postal, as happened to Tomsky himself.
But even when he's lying to guests, smoking spliffs, snorting coke or drinking Heineken for breakfast, his vulnerability and humanity glimmer through the murk. It's almost painful to see him sort through nasty, blood-spotted, condom-littered sheets in the sweltering basement laundry dump to find a guest's lost earring. On the realization he's turning 30 and well on his way to being a lifer, he actually retreats to a storage room, indulges in stolen minibar candy and weeps his heart out.
Tomsky's writing is fluid and colourful. His take on Mardi Gras, a single sentence that runs to more than a page, is as vivid and accurate a description as you could find. In almost every chapter (and he charmingly omits a chapter 13, just as hotels omit a 13th floor) he includes delightful extras rarely found in tell-all books. When you're finished, you'll almost want to slip Tomsky a "crinkly handshake" — a $20 tip for service above and beyond.
