Alemán, Mateo
Mateo Alemán 1547-1615?
Spanish Golden Age novelist.
The fame of the Spanish Golden Age writer Mateo Alemán lies almost entirely with his Guzmán de Alfarache, typically regarded as the greatest and most influential picaresque novel. Published in two parts between 1599 and 1604, Alemán's fictional autobiography of an unscrupulous "pícaro," or rogue—who cheats and deceives his way through life until his final religious conversion—was the most commercially successful piece of Spanish literature of its day, achieving greater critical acclaim and popular sales than even Cervantes' Don Quixote. Although Alemán's masterpiece is seldom read today, scholars continue to debate the authenticity of protagonist's conversion. Critics agree, however, that the psychological complexity, engaging plot, and literary realism of Guzmán de Alfarache rank it with Don Quixote as one of the two greatest novels of the Spanish Golden Age.
Biographical Information
The exact date of Alemán's birth in Seville is unknown, although it was presumably within weeks of his baptism on September 28, 1547. His father was a medical doctor who, like his son, often struggled with financial difficulties. Despite being professing Christians, the Alemán family was suspected of being of Jewish origin, making its members ineligible for Spanish nobility or immigration to the New World. In 1564 Alemán received a Bachelor's degree in Arts and Philosophy from the University of Maese Rodrigo. For the following three years he studied medicine at the universities of Maese Rodrigo, Salamanca, and Alcalá, leaving school temporarily after his father's death in 1567. In 1568 Alemán ended his medical studies permanently and took several large loans in order to become a businessman. His businesses failed, and unable to repay his debts, Alemán agreed to marry the daughter of one his creditors rather than be thrown into debtor's prison. For the following decade Alemán failed at a series of business ventures before returning to the University of Maese Rodrigo in 1580 to study law. Later that same year Alemán was arrested for unpaid debts and sent to prison, where he spent several months before being bailed out by his wife and a prosperous uncle. Seeking a new life, Alemán applied to immigrate to the New World; however, his application was denied because of his Jewish ancestry. In 1583 Alemán was made a judge, but even this position ended in failure when King Philip II ordered Alemán jailed for overstepping his authority. Circumstances began to improve when Alemán got a government job as an accountant soon after being released from his second jail term; he moved to Madrid, augmenting his small salary by renting houses and making loans. In 1591, while in Cartagena on business, Alemán was nearly killed after being accidentally hit in the head by a cannon shot. Crediting his survival to his prayers to Saint Anthony of Padua, Alemán vowed to write a biography of the saint, a promise he kept over a decade later with the publication of San Antonio de Padua (1604; Saint Anthony of Padua). In 1593 Alemán again served as a judge, this time without complaint, gaining still more experiences which would soon find echo in his fictional autobiography of the rogue Guzmán.
Alemán was fifty before he began his literary career, publishing first translations of two odes by Horace and writing a prologue for a book by a friend, Alonso de Barros, in 1598. In 1599 Alemán published Guzmán de Alfarache, a book so immediately popular that within five years it had been reprinted in over twenty-five editions, many of them pirated. Although the success of the novel made Alemán instantly famous, the pirated versions of his work meant that Alemán gained little financial reward. Three years later, in 1602, Alemán was again imprisoned for failure to pay his debts, although he was soon bailed out by a cousin. That same year an unauthorized Part II of Guzmán was published by an pseudonymous author, sparking Alemán to begin work on an authentic continuation of the adventures of the popular "picaro," which was published in 1604. Despite the continued success of his work, Alemán remained in debt. In 1607 he applied again to immigrate to Mexico, bribing officials to gain permission. Arriving in Mexico in 1608 with his mistress and several of their illegitimate children, Alemán's financial situation immediately improved, probably in large part due to his friendship with Fray García Guerra, Archbishop and Viceroy of New Spain, whom Alemán had met during his voyage to the New World. In Mexico, Alemán continued to write, publishing the Ortografía castellana (Castilian Orthography) in 1609 and Sucesos de D. Frai García Gera (Happenings of Fray García Guerra) in 1613. Nothing more is known of Alemán after 1615, the year most biographers presume he died.
Major Works
Alemán's literary success can be attributed to his lengthy novel, Guzmán de Alfarache, published in two parts in 1599 and 1604, respectively. Regarded as the second picaresque novel published in Spain (the first being the popular Lazarillo de Tormes, published in 1554 by an unknown author), Guzmán de Alfarache is a fictional autobiography of a "pícaro" or rogue who looks back on his life of deceit and sin after he has been sentenced to life in prison for his wicked deeds. The illegitimate son of a prostitute and an usurer, Guzmán's story begins with a description of his humble origins. After his father dies, Guzmán journeys out into the world and attempts to improve his lot in life. Finding little success in a series of jobs, Guzmán falls in with a group of rogues and beggars from whom he learns how to gain a comfortable living by thievery and fraud. Cheating at cards enables him to pose as a successful merchant, and he soon marries a woman who leaves him penniless before she dies. Next, the rogue decides to become a minister because he considers this occupation easy, but he soon abandons this plan and marries again, this time acting as a pimp and living on the earnings of his wife's prostitution. When this wife finally deserts him, Guzmán once again gains his living from gambling and thievery until he is finally apprehended and sentenced to a life in prison for his many crimes. In prison, the narrator repents of his crimes, promising to lead a virtuous life in the future. The open ending of the second part of the novel has led many critics to believe that Alemán intended to write a third section; however, this remains largely speculative since Alemán did not write further adventures of his most famous character before his death in 1615.
Critical Reception
Not only did the publication of Guzmán de Alfarache gain Alemán instant popular success as an author, his novel was praised by critics of his day for both its highly entertaining plot and its moral teachings. Within fifteen years of the novel's first publication it was translated into French, Italian, and German, and Alemán's prose was widely considered superior to Cervantes' popular 1605 masterpiece, Don Quixote. Modern critics often regard Alemán's picaresque novel as a revolutionary step within the emerging literary genre, and contend that its unsentimental depiction of everyday life fostered the development of the modern realistic novel. Nearly all twentieth-century criticism of the novel focuses on the interpretation of Guzmán's religious conversion. Some critics conclude that the narrator's turn to religion is yet another example of a scoundrel who seizes the opportunity to turn to piety only in order to save his life, while others regard the conversion as authentic, teaching the lesson that all men are cursed with Original Sin but can be saved through repentance and divine grace. The psychological complexity of Guzmán's narration, mixing burlesque humor and satire with moral digressions chastising a degenerate society, has opened a wide spectrum of conjecture on the relationship between the character Guzmán and the author Alemán, a Christian of Jewish origins who may have wished to prove his devotion to Christian tenets. Whatever its interpretation, critics are unanimous in their praise of Guzmán de Alfarache as one of the seminal novels of the Spanish Golden Age.

[In the following essay, Eoff examines the psychology of the protagonist of Guzmán de Alfarache, dividing the story into sections which portray the protagonist's increasing shamelessness, deceit, and buffoonery.]
What is the psychology of a pícaro? Can we profit by study the varieties of this literary type as we would individual human beings enmeshed in their environment? There is general agreement that the Spanish picaresque novel of the seventeenth century, more than a special kind of narrative form growing out of literary antecedents, is the expression of an attitude substantially determined by social, moral, and economic conditions of the age in which it flourished. What has been said on the subject, however, has to do largely with the mass psychology of la picardía as an indication of national consciousness, rather than with the psychology of individuals.1 Briefly, the picaresque attitude is visualized within two major perspectives, the one bearing on the heart-free enjoyment of an extrasocial life, and the other on somber disillusionment.
We are told, for example, that the pícaro, infected with the collective spirit of parasitism and holgazanería, derisively turns away from impotent moralism,2...

Critics, in evaluating the concept of love in the picaresque genre, have uniformly noted its absence or decreased importance as a literary theme. In one of the first modern critical commentaries on the picaresque, F. W. Chandler underscores the absence of sentiment in the picaresque novel and also notes that, in the case of Pícara Justina, "Love bears a direct proportion to wealth …" In the Spanish picaresque novel, women are usually depicted as inconstant, and love and marriage are generally submitted to the picaro's mercenary schemes. This particular presentation of love in picaresque literature, he further notes, is intimately linked with humor.1 For Romera-Navarro, the picaresque genre barely found room for a theme like love, unlike its literary predecessor, the books of chivalry. He notes that the pícaro "… burlador unas veces, es también a menudo burlado, casi siempre por mujeres."2 S. Gilman emphasizes the absence of love in the pícaro's...

[In the following essay, Oakley examines themes of honor and necessity in Guzmán de Alfarache, concluding that Alemán's work centers on the moral weakness of humanity and its need for divine help in obtaining salvation.]
In his recent biography of Mateo Alemán, Donald McGrady provided a summary of recent trends in criticism of Guzmán de Alfarache, remarking that although, on the whole, the twentieth century critics have rehabilitated the moralistic digressions in it, they have erred to the other extreme, exaggerating the importance of these digressions 'at the expense of the action, which is always the essence of fiction.'1
We venture to suggest that although in one sense he is right, in another he is wrong. He is correct in his observation to the extent that the pícaro's adventures and the digressions are designed to complement and reinforce one another, but in saying that action is the essence of fiction, he makes a dangerous assumption about the creative processes that produced Guzmán. He is analysing Alemán's masterpiece in the light of three centuries of literary history as regards the development of...

[In the following essay, Folkenflik discusses Alemán's references to painting in Guzmán de Alfarache, many of which show the author's insistence that the visual world is an illusion.]
Towards the end of his description of his Italian travels, the narrator of Guzmán de Alfarache has occasion to lament that nowadays men judge only according to what they see:
Cuando fueres alquimia, eso que reluciere de ti, eso será venerado. Ya no se juzgan almas ni más de aquello que ven los ojos.
Anyone who has read this far in Mateo Alemán's massive picaresque novel will agree. Social reality is so completely founded on what can be seen that most of the inhabitants of Guzmán's world pay little attention to anything else. The inventive tricks by which the hero makes his way in the world all rest on his conception of it as a place in which parecer is what counts. His calculations often miscarry—as the proverb has it, "que aunque vistan a la mona de seda, mona se queda" (II, 115). Nevertheless, exposure is as often due to inadequate attention to disguise as to anything. We are left with the impression that if people cannot...

[In the following essay, Norval argues against critics such as Alexander Parker and Moreno Báez who claim that Guzmán's final conversion is real, charging instead that Guzmán de Alfarache is a pessimistic story about man's inability to gain salvation without God's grace.]
The Guzmán de Alfarache is a pseudo-autobiography in which a pícaro tells the story of his evil life and his supposed conversion.1 More critics than not have dismissed the conversion as hypocritical, as Alexander Parker has pointed out,2 but the prevailing critical view at present accepts it as genuine.3 This view, expounded primarily by Moreno Báez and Alexander Parker, takes Guzmán's tale at face value, and sees the novel as a working-out of orthodox Catholic doctrines concerning man and his salvation. The novel is linked by Parker to such confessional literature as Augustine's Confessions and Malón de Chaide's La conversión de la Magdalena (32, 35).
There are, however, serious difficulties with this interpretation, one of which is the matter of tone. Not only is the Guzmán marked by a pervasive bitterness which is not the attitude one expects of a converted soul, but...

[In the following essay, Smith examines the sermons in Guzmán de Alfarache, concentrating on Guzmán's role as a preacher.]
It must become apparent to even the most casual reader of Mateo Alemán's picaresque novel Guzmán de Alfarache that the work is full of sermons; that not only the digressive discursos (a favourite term applied to contemporary printed sermons) but also complete chapters are cast in a homiletic mould.1 Whereas Unamuno expressed his dislike for this novel by calling it "una sarta de sermones enfadosos y pedestres de la más ramplona filosofía y de la exposición más difusa y adormiladora que cabe",2 Herrero García was not being intentionally disparaging when he defined the picaresque novel in general as "un sermón con alteración de proporciones de los elementos que entran en su combinación".3 Later critics have analysed the constituent "sermons" both theologically and according to the rules of rhetoric. Some claim that Alemán has cast Tridentine teaching on Original Sin and Justification into a "modern" form; others, that the work continues the medieval miscellany tradition.4 Common to these interpretations is the assumption...

[In the following essay, Johnson examines some of the many competing interpretations of Guzmán de Alfarache, himself concentrating on the discrepancies between Guzmán's adventures and Alemán's sermonizing.]
The preeminence of Don Quijote in the history of the modern novel, while demonstrating a facet of the general debt of Western literature to the Hispanic tradition, has been largely responsible for the widespread ignorance or misunderstanding of the other great prose narration that stands together with the Quijote at the headwaters of "our" novel. That work is the picaresque Guzmán de Alfarache (1599 and 1604) by Cervantes's contemporary, Mateo Alemán. In its time Guzmán de Alfarache was the most popular and influential work of Spanish literature in existence, including Don Quijote. It was translated into the major languages almost immediately and was at least as popular as the Quijote outside of Spain. Mateo Alemán was called the "Divine Spaniard" by the same Europeans who considered Cervantes an amiable clown. In our time Guzmán de Alfarache is important, if no longer popular or influential. It is an excitingly modern work whose relevance has been reestablished by a convergence of three important...

[In the following essay, Johnson discusses themes of impotence in Guzmán de Alfarache.]
It is customary to consider the interpolated novelettes in Guzmán de Alfarache either as more or less light-hearted entertainment and demonstrations of the author's virtuosity in several narrative conventions, or on the other hand as proof of Alemán's inability to free himself from his pessimistic world view, his preoccupation with frustration and deceit. In the first instance the critic finds himself forced to discover and call attention to a brighter side of Dorido's brutal murder of Oracio (I, iii, 10), and in the second he finds himself insisting that the well-intentioned deceptions of Ozmín and Daraja (I, i, 8) are examples of the rankest perfidy. Rather than attempt to pronounce definitively for one or the other interpretation, I should like to continue a line of investigation initiated by Francisco Rico and consider one such novella in relation to its immediate contexts within the Guzmán, as a reflection of a structure so fundamental that the term obsessive would not be out of place to describe it.1 I refer to the story of Don Luis de Castro and Don Rodrigo de Montalvo (II, i, 4), which, although not taken...

[In the following essay, Willem discusses how Alemán inserts several novelettes into Guzmán de Alfarache to accentuate his overarching themes concerning honor and deceit.]
In general, critical opinion concerning the role of the interpolated novelettes in Guzmán de Alfarache falls into two camps: those who consider them to be significantly linked to the main narrative; and those who see them as extraneous stories which serve the essentially decorative function of providing a diversion from the picaresque adventures while displaying Alemán's virtuosity at affecting a variety of literary styles. Condemnation or praise of the novelettes in consistent with the individual critic's degree of commitment to structural unity. Consequently, the scholars of the latter group are divided in their assessment of the appropriateness of the interpolated material's presence, while those of the first category hail the stories as legitimate variations in style and plot which develop the structural devices or thematic concerns posited in the larger framework. In this vein, Donald McGrady (145-167) and Robert J. Glickman (88-127) view the novelettes as exemplary tales which share with the digressions in the main text the...

[In the following essay, Longhurst surveys critical reactions regarding Guzmán's authentic conversion.]
Interpretations of Guzmán de Alfarache have undergone a drastic change of direction over the last ten years or so, thanks largely to the efforts of American scholars. I am thinking mainly, though not exclusively, of the recent books of Joan Arias, Carroll Johnson and Benito Brancaforte.1
What these books have in common (and they have a great deal in common) is above all that they have called into question the general assumption found not only in the religiously-orientated interpretation of Moreno Báez and A. A. Parker but also in the much more ideologically neutral studies of critics such as Donald McGrady, Maurice Molho, Edmond Cros or Francisco Rico, namely that the narrator in Guzmán de Alfarache is a reformed individual whose self-accusation and denunciation of sin are part and parcel of his change of heart.2 More recent critics on the other hand see the narrator either as a hypocritical sycophant (Arias), or as a mentally sick person suffering from an unresolved Oedipal conflict (Johnson), or as a homosexual,...

[In the following essay, Davis discusses motifs of eating and digestion in Alemán's Guzmán de Alfarache to explore themes of literary deception.]
The tendency of Guzmán criticism in recent decades has been to focus on the conclusion of Part II, the account of the narrator's alleged repentence and religious conversion while serving life sentence as a galley slave.1 By reading the nearly one-thousand page fictive autobiography solely in terms of its closing chapters, as an example of—or response to—Counterreformation apologetics, modern readers cast Spain's first so-called picaresque novel as a startling anomaly within the genre which it created.
The outcome of the convict-turned-author's story must of course also be considered in light of his statement of intent in the opening pages of the novel. While Guzmán is not made to preface his relato with a prologue like Lázaro's, the primary patterns of motivation and behavior that give shape to the novel's discourse are expressed clearly in the first three chapters. The narrator Guzmán tells us that he has been inspired to live a life of deception by his desire to create for himself a lasting appearance of honor, much in the fashion of his...

[In the following essay, Davis argues that the stories of how Guzmán swindles a silversmith, a merchant, and his uncle offer clues to the Guzmán's greatest deception of all—deceiving readers into believing his final conversion is authentic.]
Since its publication in 1599, Guzmán de Alfarache has been the subject of controversy, and its critics remain divided today. They debate Alemán's message, agreeing only that the novel is structured on a complex and problematic narrative. The fictive author Guzmán is made to relate his past and comment on it for the readers' edification, but the intricate shifts in his account between diegesis and mimesis often obscure both his reasoning and its relationship to episodes in the plot.1 Moreno Báez and other scholars have attempted to clarify this contrapuntal narration by arguing that both "consejos" and "consejas" work along separate temporal planes to convey a univocal argument.2 According to them, as narrator of an exemplary Counter-Reformation fiction, the penitent author Guzmán condemns his past wrongs while giving a verisimilar account of them. However, some critics have shown that the narrator does not structure his memoirs with the clarity that the work's didactic intentions lead readers to expect. McGrady (95) and Parker...

[In the following essay, Whitenack examines the tale Bonifacio y Dorotea in Guzmán de Alfarache, concluding that mercantile interests are of far greater importance to themes in the narration than Guzmán's sexual deviancy.]
It is no news for readers of Guzmán de Alfarache that Guzmán's wife, mother and grandmother were all prostitutes. We also know that Guzmán, following the pattern set by the man who was probably his father, lived for a time on his wife Gracia's earnings and even acted as her alcahuete. Indeed, Guzmán's unsavory relationships with women from early childhood on have given rise to various psychoanalytical analyses of his warped sexuality and his possible homosexual inclinations (Brancaforte; Cros; Johnson). I do not disagree entirely with these interpretations, but I consider Guzmán's mercantile obsessions to be the ultimate controlling factor in his behavior, even with women. In this context I am proposing a new reading of the interpolated tale "Bonifacio y Dorotea," both for its own sake and for the light it sheds on Alemán's complicated protagonist.
Before the recent proliferation of new interpretations of the Guzmán, the standard approach was to treat the four main interpolated tales...

Portals To Uphobia
In what is shaping up to be a formidable year for melodic death metal, it's only fitting that one of the brightest hopes for the genre releases an album. In 2003, Detonation took home the championship in the battle for my favorite album of the year. An Epic Defiance was a refreshing blend of early Dark Tranquillity and perhaps early Katatonia, resulting in a melodic death masterpiece with epic and doomy undercurrents. This new offering is more of the same.
The differences between Portals to Uphobia and An Epic Defiance are subtle but apparent if your ears are open. You can certainly tell that this is the same band, but this new work demands a closer listen to dig out all of the hooks. The obvious (and superb) melodies of past songs like "The Collision of Despair" and "The Last of My Commands" have been supplanted by developing riff sequences like those in "End of Sight, End of Fears". Their two guitarists, Koen Romeijn and Mike Ferguson, still shred as necessary, between bouts of harmonized leads and dark, thrashy barrages. Koen's Stanne-esque scream is the perfect complement to the band's musical output, and the crisp and clear production is the perfect complement to both he and the guitarists. High notes ring through loud and clear, the acoustic guitar twangs and reverbs, while the low end rumbles.
Examples of well-done metal are legion on Portals to Uphobia so I will pick songs at random to highlight. "Solitude Reflected" begins with a dour acoustic introduction, giving way to Detonation's trademark style of thrashy and doomy melodies with little transition. High-speed riffs typically end in unexpected flourishes. "Structural Deceit" is pure Opeth for the first forty seconds…the way Opeth sounded 7-8 years ago, then shows some occasional influence from Akerfeldt and Co. later on. Unrelenting drumming pins down much of the song, lending a sense of urgency.
Long story short, Detonation smokes, especially if you like your melodic death bleak, with a hint of gloom. Their sound is both intense and thoughtful, blending the loud and abrasive with the soft and mellow very adeptly. In the past two years their metal has become slightly more refined and mature, which I didn't think was necessarily needed. Although Portals of Uphobia won't top my year-end list as its predecessor had, it very well may crack the top ten, and for that reason, I give it a solid endorsement. Keep up the great work over in Holland.

Greater Dinosaur Region
The Greater Dinosaur Region in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming is cherished for its stunning landscapes. Known as a place where dinosaurs once roamed, this area still has abundant wildlife.
While some parts of the region like Dinosaur National Monument are already protected, many more areas are still at risk. The Wilderness Society is working to preserve some of the wildest parts of this unique landscape.
Why the Greater Dinosaur Region
The Greater Dinosaur Region is an area with a wealth of natural beauty. These wild landscapes – and the bones of the dinosaurs that the area is named for – are an economic driver for local communities. Protecting the wild areas of the region is important for the people and the wildlife that live here.
Work we're doing
We're working with our partners to protect some of the wildest areas in the Greater Dinosaur region, including:
- Red desert cliffs of Wyoming's Adobe Town.
- Multicolored badlands of Colorado's Vermillion Basin.
- Proposed wilderness lands surrounding Dinosaur National Monument in both Colorado and Utah.
Our partners
We couldn't accomplish our conservation goals in the Greater Dinosaur Region alone. We partner with many local groups and some national groups and federal agencies to keep the Greater Dinosaur Region protected.
Why Wilderness
Wilderness is a precious resource with many human, natural and economic benefits that we need to protect.

Rascal Flatts' new DVDThis week is truly one to "give thanks"--especially if you happen to be a Rascal Flatts fan! The Grammy-nominated trio will be making appearances on E!'s Chelsea Lately Monday night (Nov. 19) and then will show up on NBC's The Voice the following evening (Nov. 20). However, best of all is the reason for their TV appearances: The guys have just released a new DVD project, All Access And Uncovered, which takes fans behind the scenes of the making of their latest album, Changed.
Those who were lucky enough to catch the documentary during its one-night-only event (the show screened in select theaters across the country in April) will doubtless want a copy of the DVD to relive the fun. For those who haven't seen it yet, the Flatts offer up a variety of never-before-seen glimpses of their recording process, Jay DeMarcus's home recording studio, and personal interviews regarding the new album. There's also exclusive performance footage for fans to enjoy.
Rascal Flatts gave Our Country an exclusive peek at the DVD, which you can only see here (besides on the actual disc, of course!). It details the making of and DeMarcus's thoughts on "Come Wake Me Up"--which DeMarcus admits contains probably his favorite lyric ever. Can you guess? Watch and find out!
Rascal Flatts will be extending their 2012 Changed Tour into 2013, with dates beginning December 29 and rolling all the way through July. To find out if they're coming your way, check here.

The bed fits beautifully in the bedroom. I am very impressed with the quality of the wood and bed frame. I would highly recommend.
There is not one negative thing I can say about this purchase, other than shipping seemed slow but I think that was because of it being Thanksgiving week; it actually arrived the estimated arrival date. The bed was packaged very well, all pieces were there. It took my husband and me 40 minutes from start to finish to assemble the bed and that included putting on the box spring, mattress and making the bed. The instructions were pictures only and took a little studying before we began. On both the headboard and footboard one part of the bed did not line up exactly with the bedpost, but my husband slightly bent the headboard piece with his hands to get it to fit, and on the footboard part, he took a hammer with a piece of cardboard between the hammer and bed to knock it into alignment without damaging the finish. I noticed a lot of reviewers also had this problem, but ours was certainly nothing that couldn't be easily fixed. So if that happens with yours, don't despair because it's an easy fix. The bed is beautiful, well made, and I expect will last us a long time.
I bought this bed after my cheap metal frame broke. After reading all of the reviews for several beds on here, I decided on this one because of the look of it and the price was reasonable. It was shipped in a timely manner and was so simple to put together. I put it together all by myself and had no problems at all. Would definitely recommend this bed and website to anyone looking for a good bed at a great price :)
Newcastle made it to three strikes with us. We ordered this bed and it arrived with bent posts in the headboard and footboard. These posts are supposed to attach to the legs of the bed. Overstock was more than helpful in having a replacement sent to us. The replacement was also bent, though not as badly. Again, Overstock was on-point to rectify the situation. Bed #3 arrived also bent, and so we're done. We know that Overstock will facilitate the return as well as our refund, but it was a disappointment, to be sure. Save yourself the headache - don't order this bed.
I love this bed.. Was fairly easy to assemble. looks great with other wood furniture
The product came damaged by the shipping company unfortunately. The bed was beautiful though.
I am very pleased with this particular product because it is stylish, durable and very attractive in the bedroom. I do like this product.
Would give a better rating except the hardware was not included which was a bit inconvenient. Had to buy it as need the bed together right away and did not want the hassle of requesting/waiting. Thankfully we were able to obtain some hardware that fit and bed went together fairly well. It is nice and is high. Good value overall for the price.
It took an hour to assemble this bed. It came with the tools to assemble, and easy instructions. I was surprised our strong and heavy the construction was. This bed holds a 100LB mattress and 50LB box spring. It does not sqeak or shake. I am very pleased with this bed.
This is a good looking headboard and bed frame. It arrived 3 days after I ordered it, and the packing was very good. After getting all the parts out, and taking a good look at the assemble diagram, I went to work and had it together within an hour. I had to straighten one part to get it to fit, and had to clean out one drilled hole to get the bolt through it. Other than that, it went together without any problems. The bed construction appears to be very sturdy and I don't anticipate any problems with it lasting for many years. If you need a good headboard and frame, and don't want to pay retail prices, take a look at this one...

�---Life's Rows---
I have not lived within life's fences.
Nor ever plowed the straight row.
I've always shifted circumstances.
Like wind within the wheat row.
My crops have always grown and bloomed.
Then wilted on life's vines.
Victims of what I once assumed
Would be tomorrow's harvest times.
My forty acres then went untilled
Nor have I sought for more
Till weeds choked out dreams unfulfilled
And fruits rot to the core.
One more harvest awaits my plow
Fresh seeds to germinate.
I cannot be distracted now
Life's rows must be plowed straight.

Not sure if you intended to be disrespectful in using an image of Abe Lincoln with your 'Rest in Peace' message on Clement L. Vallandigham's memorial or not, but if you've begun experiencing an inexplicable rash of accidents and misadventures, I'd say old Clem's ghost is surely after you for that.
The last person in the world Clement Laird Vallandigham wants to see is that fellow!

On September 30, 2013, the Law School held its annual Adjunct Faculty Reception to thank adjunct professors who taught during the 2012-13 academic year and to welcome new adjuncts to St. John's Law. Approximately 40 adjunct faculty members attended, engaging with full-time faculty members and Law School administrators. A highlight of the event was the presentation of teaching awards to the following adjuncts:
Professor Joseph Gagliano, Jr. '82C, '85L, who passed away suddenly in May 2013, received a posthumous teaching award, which was accepted by his partner, Walter Smith. "St. John's Law School is committed to excellent teaching," said Larry Cunningham, the Law School's Associate Academic Dean. "We are very proud of our adjunct faculty and their contributions to the classroom. They share their wealth of experience with students in a variety of specialized classes, from E-Discovery to Pretrial Advocacy. The faculty we recognized today with awards demonstrated the highest level of teaching excellence." Dean Cunningham is coordinating new initiatives and resources to support the adjunct professors, including a weekly newsletter of teaching tips.
The following are just a few of the courses taught by the Law School's adjuncts:
These professors and their colleagues on the adjunct faculty are enormous assets to the Law School, and St. John's Law students benefit tremendously from the perspective they offer on the interplay of legal theory and real-world legal practice

I am new to Adelaide - I come from northern West Australia, so I am a bit un used to the wetness from the sky. What do people wear when it is inclement? Do you try to stay dry or just get dry at work? Are waterproof panniers necessary (computer documents etc) or are there other tricks? Looking forward to hearing your wisdom.
I use green garbage bags inside the panniers. Sadly not as strong as they used to be but cheap to replace. Put everything in the garbage bags. You can buy waterproof bags from a camping store designed to keep things dry in kayaks and canoes. Cost a bit and a bit fiddly to close as you need to press all the air out.
For me an old goretex suit I bought back in the 80s and overshoes. I still get wet if it's heavy. Spent half an hour in the disabled toilet at work the other day waving my pants under the hot air hand dryer.
I cycled to work in the rain on monday and wore a gortex raincoat, synthetic baggy jogger shorts and cycling shirt. They dry off enough at work to be able to put them on for the ride home. Panniers (deuter) had their own rain proof cover. Glad I didn't ride on Tuesday - it freakin' hammered down!
Tricky bit is the rain on my glasses that reduces my vision. Sometimes they fog up too. There is an anti-fog stuff that you can put on glasses but I haven't tried it yet.
For some bizarre reason, on rainy days people in their comfy dry and warm cars drive like pedestrians caught in the rain. On monday I had drivers going all sorts of directions and doing wacko things. Cycling in the rain has greater hazards than just getting a tad damp and only a bomb-squad would have clothing for suitable protection!
good call - it is as if people get allergic to water or something!
After you've mummified yourself in rubber, latex, PVC, take care, there's some very strange people out there. Then again you might discover the identity of PP if VOD doesn't get to you first.
It might be a good idea to take a different route, avoid as much traffic as possible even if it means you have to travel further, most of the water and crap that you get covered in will be from passing traffic.
I rode yesterday but benefitted from working a late shift so managed to avoid all the rain.
Glad I didn't ride on Tuesday - it freakin' hammered down!
Yep the water seemed to come in through the seams of my goretex on Tuesday.
Remember also your braking distance is a lot further in the wet. The first squeeze of the brakes is going to just wipe the water off the rims. If you have issues you can look at better brake blocks.
my new super-dooper-"king Knute" commuter is not afraid of the wet and has disk brakes (and mud guards).
On my previous wet weather bike (giant MTB circa '92) the brake blocks would jam up with sand and lath the rims. nasty!
Nice. I've got the mud guards but it's an old Dawes tourer with center pulls.
As a bike courier i just wear a rain coat and change my shoes and socks at lunchtime (because home is nearby)
When i couldn't pop home i used to carry a spare pair of socks and some goretex socks to go in between my dry warm socks and wet shoes.
I generally wear leggings when it gets below 16 degrees, but seem to sweat too much in waterproof pants (unless it gets below 10C)
Getting wet is not an issue, but being cold or having wet feet for 10 hours can be challenging.

According to the Five Cities Fire Authority, fire officials are still investigating the causes of two separate house fires in Grover Beach.
The first fire happened at a duplex on the corner of 4th Street and Brighton Avenue on Friday night. The fire was contained to one unit in the complex, but the home was so damaged that it is unsafe for the family to live in.
A second fire was reported Saturday night in the 1500 block of Nice Avenue near 16th Park. Officials believe the fire started in the backyard and spread to the home. No other structures were damaged, but that home was also severely damaged. Officials say the house has been boarded up.
There is no evidence that the fires are connected in any way, and officials are continuing their investigation efforts.
No injuries were reported in either fire.

Rated 3 out of 5Â by GavWalter Cushiony, Not Stable
I would pay the money for the style, I would pay the money for the quality of leather. It's rather thin and soft which is alright.
But there's just a lot of cushion and not enough support. There's more support in my summer boatshoes than these chukkas.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Homer22 Dark Gray Relaxed
I bought the Dark Gray Relaxed color and while it looks a bit different in person, I'm very pleased. The gray has a slight forest green cast to it, but is still neutral enough to go with most anything and looks great with jeans.
This style is incredibly comfortable with a nice cushion in the footbed.
The laces are too long but are easily shortened with scissors.

With the help of information networks, it is possible to transmit different types of service to different audiences via a single channel. This also makes possible the improved provision of education and other services to small target groups and special audiences. Through increased cooperation and by exploiting the potential of technology, regional equality can be enhanced and the opportunities for individuals to acquire information can be improved. More effective use of resources will be possible.
In Sudan society, electronic communication and information networks handle huge amounts of information, which is continuously being updated. In this flood of information citizens need to be independent, critical and analytical in their acquisition, use and production of information. Increasingly, the problem is to locate relevant material in the mass of data available.
Network building is a function of national development. In Sudan we need to:
· Adopt our national information policy ;
· Facilitate the dialogue between communication operators and the library and documentation community to use existing and improving telecommunication infrastructure for information exchange.
In addition to the Documentation & Library community all users in the country including non-governmental organizations, extension centres, the United Nations and other international and national organization with day-to-day information needs, will benefit from the national electronic link.
Accordingly NCR-DIC plans to link electronically at three levels, which are:
· Institutional level i.e. NCR units as well as Ministry of Science and Technology level where the Research Community (under survey)
· National level which includes the libraries & Documentation Centres in Sudan (under survey)
· Regional level/International levels such as Project of Strengthening Library and Information Services in IGAD States funded by 75% Netherlands Government in which NCR-DIC (National Information Node of IGAD) can link externally with IGAD Secretariat Information Nucleus and IGAD States, internally with Libraries in government bodies and universities based on IGAD
In this paper, I will discuss information network at institutional level. NCR-DIC surveyed the NCR facilities and resources, which are equipment, software, human resources, and means of communications during the period from August - November 1999 and supported by another survey in May –June 2002. The results of this survey showed the following:
1. Equipment
· NCR consists of 14 units: 9 units in the NCR Headquarters while 4 units are far from the NCR-DIC distance around 1-16 Kilometers
· Computers and their accessories for the network
· Internet connectivity to the Internet using the dialup system
2. Software
3. Human resources
trained on computers with medium qualification in word processing and basics and some packages whereas qualified personnel in Software related to documentation and Information services
4. Suggestions
include networking, training and maintenance of Equipment's, and security programs
NCR-DIC also consults the internal specialists from the Sudanet, Sudatel, Khartoum University, Sudan University of Science and Technology, National Council for Telecommunications, and the dealers of computer companies, for means of communication, training courses, and estimated costs to run network with skilled personnel. So Data Cloud is recommended for discharging the network function smoothly. It suggests that one or two researchers form each unit to Training for trainee course to provide NCR-DIC with their processed information.
