Sleeping at the top, nightmares of the bottom
from Lil Wayne – Nightmares of the Bottom Lyrics on Genius
Lil Wayne feels he is the best and he's at the top of the game and sleeping on it. But he comes from the bottom in New Orleans, so he's sleeping at the top in his mansion but's having dreams of his past at the bottom. And since there are so many new artists he may be having nightmares about losing his fame to younger talent
He could also be saying that he has so much money that he fears one day going broke and been at the bottom again. However now, his money seems to him more like a shock absorber

News Release
Fifth Third Mortgage Company Government Modification Conversion Rate Near 35 Percent
Modification rate more than four times national average
When the Obama Administration introduced the comprehensive Home Affordability and Stability Plan in March 2009, the goal was to provide refinance and modification options for millions of homeowners. Fifth Third Mortgage Company, a subsidiary of Fifth Third Bank and the 18th largest mortgage originator in the country (Inside Mortgage Finance, October 2009), has done its part to help homeowners stay in their homes.
Of the 89 percent of Fifth Third Mortgage Company's portfolio eligible for Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) consideration, nearly 35 percent of trial plans started have been converted to permanent modifications. According to U.S. Treasury data recently released for December 2009, that percentage is more than four times the national average of 7.4 percent.
"Fifth Third Bank works hard to provide the best for our customers," said Steve Alonso, executive vice president of Consumer Lending and Mortgage at Fifth Third Bank. "We have significantly increased staff in this department and continuously work to convert customers who are eligible for the program."
The Mortgage Company uses HAMP on its Fannie Mae-and Freddie Mac-owned mortgages, per government sponsored entities' (GSE) mandatory participation in the program. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) created a program similar to HAMP for the mortgages it owns and the Bank services. Both programs require a three-month trial modification period before being converted to permanent status.
Many portions of the Making Home Affordable Program have raised questions from borrowers completing the extensive paperwork necessary to participate in the program. Fifth Third Bank has created a Web site to help borrowers navigate through the paperwork. The site, www.53.com/promo/bettertomorrow, explains in easy-to-understand terms the program requirements.
More than a year prior to the Home Affordability and Stability Plan launch, Fifth Third Bank recognized the need for comprehensive assistance programs for mortgage, credit cards and other needs. The Bank developed proactive customer outreach and assertive modification programs to assist more borrowers experiencing financial hardship. The program, "You Have Options," allowed the Bank to offer flexible-term and rate concessions to bank-owned mortgages, approximately 8 percent of Fifth Third Mortgage Company's portfolio.
The Bank has decided to continue to use the "You Have Options" program for its bank-owned mortgages instead of the government's HAMP program. While HAMP does have benefits to the customer, Fifth Third's "You Have Options" program is tailored, through a menu of options, to each customer's specific financial situation – not just the customer's mortgage payment-to-income as in HAMP.
"'You Have Options' primary goal is to consider all debts and reasonable monthly obligations to ensure the customer has a surplus of monthly net cash flow for unplanned circumstances," said Alonso.
Approximately 70 percent of bank-owned modifications continue to perform according to the updated terms. With the "You Have Options" program, Fifth Third Bank also developed a proactive customer outreach programs with a "we're here to help" theme designed to build customer trust and enable solution-driven interactions between the Bank and its customers, including:
- A Centralized Toll-Free Contact Point – The Bank offers a centralized number ((866) 601-6391) for all loss mitigation related customer inquiries. If a customer would like to discuss workout options on their first mortgage, second mortgage, auto or credit card account, they can call one centralized number in order to connect with the appropriate department.
- Internet Communication Options – Customers can view different workout options, both stimulus and non-stimulus, on the Web at www.53.com or send an e-mail requesting assistance.
- Early Intervention Department – This department focuses on those accounts deemed to exhibit signs of possible default such as declining credit scores and depreciating market prices.
- Home Visits – Fifth Third Bank employees and third-party agencies visit homes of customers where we have had no contact and place them on the phone with our foreclosure prevention team.
- Travel Team / Outreach Events – The Bank sponsors and participates in programs in communities experiencing extreme economic hardships. Face-to-face borrower counseling is conducted with decision makers on-site to approve workout plans.
- Community Affairs Officers – Fifth Third Bank utilizes its Community Affairs Officers to partner with various non-profit and government agencies to offer loss mitigation alternatives in a non-threatening environment.
- Fifth Third Bank Community Advisory Forum Network (CAF) – Fifth Third Bank uses its Community Advisory Forums network in eight metropolitan markets. This group is made up of community leaders that advise the local Fifth Third Bank affiliate on matters related to lending, outreach and community engagement.
- Fifth Third Home Ownership Mobile – The Bank's eBus makes it possible for Fifth Third to deliver loss-mitigation assistance to the doorsteps of low-and moderate-income neighborhoods while providing other community based benefits (e.g. technology education).

20-year study found if young adults were more fit, 34% of high blood pressure cases could be prevented
TUESDAY, June 1 (HealthDay News) -- Low levels of physical activity and fitness significantly increase the risk of developing high blood pressure, a 20-year study of young adults shows.
The study, released online June 1 in advance of publication in the July print issue of the journal Hypertension, found that about one-third of all high blood pressure cases could be prevented with increased physical fitness.
"Those who were the least physically fit, as determined by the amount of time on a treadmill and self-report, were more likely to develop hypertension," said study author Mercedes Carnethon, an assistant professor of preventive medicine at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago.
As many as one in three Americans has high blood pressure, also called hypertension, according to the most recent estimates from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. High blood pressure is a risk factor for heart disease, stroke and kidney disease, according to the CDC.
Regular physical activity is one way that you can help keep your blood pressure at normal levels, and the CDC recommends at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity on most days of the week.
But, researchers wondered, could your levels of physical activity and fitness as a young adult affect your risk of developing high blood pressure later in life?
To answer that question, 4,618 men and women between 18 and 30 years old were recruited for a long-term study of cardiovascular disease risk factors. Study volunteers completed a treadmill test and a physical activity questionnaire when the study began. In addition, their overall health was assessed at six follow-up appointments over 20 years.
Just over 1,000 people in the study developed high blood pressure, which was defined as

- UNITED STATES PATENT orrlce POLYVALENT METAL sun's or ACID men MOLECULAR WEIGHT es'raas F POLY- cannoxrmc ACIDS Paul L Salzberg, Wilmington, Del., assig'nor to E. I. du Pont de Nemours a Company Wilmington, Del, a corporation of Delaware No Drawing. Application May 17, 1934, Serial No. 726,108. In Canada June 4, 1931 9 Claims. (01. 260 11) This invention relates to new compounds, more particularly to polyvalent metal salts of acid ,esters oi. polycarboxylic organic acids with allphatic or alicyclic alcohols of higli molecular weight. 3
Specifically, the invention relates to polyvalent metal salts of acid esters of polycarboxylic acids in which the radical oi the ester group contains at least ten carbon atoms. 1 This case is a continuation-in-part of application Serial No. 462,399 filed June 19, 1930 which I has issued as U. 8. Patent N0. 1,965,608.
United States Patent No. 1,742,506 issued January 7. 1930 to Henning, Burke and Reid and its divisional Patents 1,742,507 and 1,742,509 disclose polyvalent metal salts of certain alkyl esters aromatic, and/or cycloaliphatic acid. A still turther object is the preparation of polyvalent metal salts soluble in aliphatic hydrocarbons. A still further object is the provision of processes whereby these salts may be prepared. Other objects will appear hereinafter.
These objects are accomplished by the following invention wherein a polyvalent metal salt oi. an acid ester of a polycarboxylic acidwherein at least one hydrogen atom of a carboxyl group of the polycarboxylic acid is replaced by an allphatic radical of at least ten carbon atoms is for example, parts of ethyl alcohol and 20, parts of water and the solution thus obtained is intimately mixed with a water solution of a soluble salt oi the polyvalent metal. The polyvalent metal salt of the acid ester precipitates and can be separated frbm'the supernatant liquid by filtration. Ii desired, the compound so prepared can be further purified by dissolving, for
example in an aromatic hydrocarbon, removing I the small amount of dissolved water by means 01 a dehydrating agent, such as anhydrous sodium sulfate, and filtering oil the insoluble residue.
The polyvalent metal salt of the polycarboxylic acid ester may, if desired, be used in solution or may be isolated, for example, by evaporation of the solvent.
Having outlined the general principle of the invention above, the following applications thereto to certain specific instances are included for purpose of illustration and not in limitation.
Example 1.-zmc dodecyl phthalate One hundred sixty-seven parts by weight of mono-dodecyl phthalate was dissolved in 400 parts by weight of ethyl alcohol and intimately mixed with 20 parts by weight of sodium hydroxide dissolved in parts by weight of water.
The clear solution was then agitated with 34 parts by weight of zinc chloride dissolved in 50 parts by weight 01' water, and a viscous, sticky liquid precipitated. The supernatant liquid was decanted and the viscous product dissolved .in toluene. The toluene solution was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and the insoluble residue was filtered off. The soft, light colored zinc dodecyl phthalate was isolated by evaporating the toluene.
Example 2.-Ferric dodecyl phthalate One hundred sixty-seven parts by weight of mono-dodecyl phthalate was dissolved in 400 parts by weight of ethyl alcohol and intimately mixed with 20 parts by weight of sodium hydroxide in 100 parts by weight oi water. To this solution was added 45 parts by weight of the hexahydrate of ferric chldride dissolved in 50 parts by weight of water. A reddish oil separated and the supernatant liquid was decanted. The oil was dissolved in 200 parts by weight of toluene, the solution dried with sodium sulfate, and the insoluble residue filtered oil. The soft, reddish colored ferric dodecyl phthalate was isolated by evaporating the toluene under reduced pressure.
Example 3.--Zinc-0ctyI-decyl-dodecyl ,phthalate Three hundred eight parts by weight of a mixture of octyl alcohol, decyl alcohol and dodecyl alcohol having a molecular weight of 154 was heated with 296 parts by weight 01' phthalic anhydride for 1.5 hours at C. One hundred fifty-one parts by weight of the resulting alkyl tated a white, sticky oil.
phthalate was dissolved in 400 parts by weight of alcohol and neutralized with a 20% solution of sodium hydroxide in water. The resulting clear solution was then intimately mixed with 34 parts by weight oi zinc chloride dissolved in 50 parts by weight of water to give a clear solution, which when poured into two liters of water, precipi- The oil was dissolved in about 150 parts by weight of toluene, the toluene solution dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the insoluble material filtered ofi. The soft, sticky zinc alkyl phthalate was isolated by evaporating the solvent in a vacuum oven.
Example 4.Ferric undecylenic phthalate dark red oil precipitated. The product was soluble in acetone, ethyl alcohol, butyl alcohol, butyl acetate, toluene, and gasoline.
Example 5 .Ferric cetyl phthalate 24.2 parts by weight of cetyl alcohol and 14.8 parts by weight of phthalic anhydride were heated one-half hour at 140 C. The resulting monocetyl phthalate was dissolved in 100 parts by weight of ethyl alcohol and intimately mixed with a solution of 4 parts by weight of sodium hydroxide in 50 parts by weight of water. Into the resulting clear solution was stirred a solution of 9 parts by weight of the hexahydrate of ferric chloride in 10 parts by weight of water. A red resin precipitated which was soluble in toluene, butyl alcohol, and gasoline but was insoluble in ethyl alcohol.
Example 6.--Ferric dodecyl maleate Monododecyl maleate (28 parts by weight) was dissolved in ethyl alcohol (80 parts by weight), neutralized with the required amount of sodium hydroxide (20% solution in water) and the resulting clear solution intimately mixed with a solution of 9 parts by weight of the hexahydrate of ferric chloride dissolved in 10 parts by weight of water. A reddish colored, waxy solid separated and the supernatant liquid was decanted. The ferric dodecyl .maleate was soluble in toluene, butyl alcohol, and gasoline.
Example 7.--Ceric beta-decahydro naphthyl .phthalate A mixture of 30.8 parts by weight of decahydro beta-naphthol and 29.6 parts by weight of phthalic anhydride was heated one-half hour at 140 C. The product was dissolved in 100 parts by weight of ethyl alcohol and exactly neutralized with a 20% solution of potassium hydroxide in water. A solution of a soluble ceric salt was prepared by mixing 13 parts by weight of ceric oxide with 10 parts by weight of sulfuric acid dissolved in 100 parts by weight of cold water and filtering of? the insoluble portion. This aqueous so lution was added to the above alcohol solution and a light brown, soft resin precipitated. The supernatant liquid was decanted and the resin was dissolved in toluene.
Any salt-forming polyvalent metal may be used aoemeo in the practice of the present invention, thus, iron, copper, cobalt, nickel, manganese, tin, zinc, lead, cadmium, mercury, gold, platinum, magnesium, barium, calcium, strontium, aluminum, neodymium, titanium, zirconium, cerium, thorium, vanadium, bismuth, chromium, uranium, etc. The salts of the various metals partake of the color which is characteristic of the metal, modified in some instances by the color of the acid ester, thus, the copper salt of dodecyl phthalate is blue-green, the aluminum and ceric salts are light yellow, the cobalt salt violet, and the iron salt red. in the examples, the exact proportions necessary to produce the mono-alkyl phthalate is specified. These stoichiometrical proportions need not, however, be adhered to and any quantity of phthalic anhydride up to and including the proportions necessary to react with all of the hydroxyl groups may be employed. While primary fatty alcohols such as are obtained by the carboxyl hydrogenation of vegetable oils, for example, coconut oil or cottonseed oil as disclosed in copending application of W. A. Lazier, Serial No. 445,224, filed April 17, 1930 or in U. 8. Patent 1,839,974 to Lazier are preferred, it is to be understood that other alcohols may be used, for example, the alcohols obtained by the hydrogenation of animal oils such as sperm oil, the alcohols obtained by hydrating oleflnes produced by the cracking of parafiln wax or the higher al-' number of high molecular weight branched chain alcohols, some of which are of use in the processes of the present invention. The lead salts of the phthalic acid esters of these high molecular weight branched chain alcohols may thus be prepared and may be of use as driers.
In general any alcohol of at least ten carbon atoms may be used including, in addition to those already mentioned, 9,10-octadecenyl, 12-hydroxy-9,10-octadecenyl, eleostearyi, abietyi, and octadecyl alcohols obtainable by the processes of the Lazier patent above disclosed, tetradecyl, myricyl, melissyl, tetradecahydroanthracenyl, and naphthenyl alcohols, particularly naphthenyl alcohols of ten to thirteen carbon atoms.
While the examples for the most part disclose the use of individual alcohols, mixtures of various alcohols may be employed and are particularly useful in lowering the softening point of the polyvalent metal salts.
In preparing the acid ester of the polycarboxylic acid, it is particularly desirable because of convenience of operation, etc., to use the anhydride of the polycarboxylic acid where this is possible. This allows a more ready formation of acid esters and minimizes the formation of neutral esters. The term polycarboxylic acid in the claims is therefore to be understood as including the anhydrides thereof. It is, however, possible to make the compounds by processes in which the acid is itself used. Similarly, the acid esters may be made by the use of the acid chloride with an excess of the particular alcohol or may even be made from the neutral ester and alcohol and an ester interchange catalyst.
The phthalic anhydride of the examples may be replaced by other carboxylic acids or anhydrides such as succinic, malic, maleic, fumaric, adipic, citric, camphoric, hexahydrophthalic, trimesic and quinolinic. The preferred acid is as indicated by the examples phthalic acid or rather its anhydride. While in general the reaction is carried out by heating the alcohol and the anhydride for a period of at least 30 minutes, a wide range of temperaturemay be used but a temperature range of -150 C. is preferred. This-treatment is suflicient to cause the anhydride to react with the hydroxyl group of the alcohol in a relatively short time. The course of the esterification may readily be followed by titration of samples with standard alkali. Thus, in preparing monododecyl phthalate, the theoretical acid number is obtained after heating at C. for one-half hour or at 120 C. for one -hour. The phthalic acid ester is then neutralized in aqueous-alcohol solution with sodium or potassium hydroxide or carbonate to obtain the .solutionof the neutral alkali metal salt which in turn is treated with a water soluble salt of the polyvalent metal to obtain by double decomposition the metal salt desired.
The compounds of the present invention are valuable constituents of nitrocellulose lacquers and are also useful as drlers for accelerating the oxidation of drying oils. The compounds of the type herein disclosed are soluble in many organic solvents, for example, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, butyl alcohol, and toluene. They ofier therefore an advantageous method of incorporating metals with organic materials where they may function, for example, as drying agents in paints and varnishes. These metal salts are compatible with nitrocellulose and are therefore particularly useful when it is desired to intimately incorporate a metal containing compound with nitrocellulose. I'hus, the use of these metals provides excellent means for incorporating' metals such as iron, copper, cobalt, vanadium, cerium, and titanium whichlare capable of absorbing ultraviolet light and therefore capable of retarding the destructive action of sunlight on lacquer films.
Outdoor durability tests carried out on lacquer films comprising nitrocellulose and metal alkyl phthalates have demonstrated that compounds of ten or more carbon atoms impart greater durability than the lower alkyl phthalates, for example, the metal butyl phthalates. Although the protective action of metal salts has been assumed to be due to the ultraviolet absorption characteristics of the metallic element and although ferric cetyl phthalate. contains much less iron than the butyl phthalate, the cetyl compound nevertheless gives a nitrocellulose film of greater outdoor durability. The long chain metal phthalates of the present inventlon exemplified by the metal dodecyl phthalates show a further advantage over the lower alkyl phthalates such as the metal butyl phthalates in that the long chain metal phthalates are more soluble in aliphatic hydrocarbons. This is particularly true for salts such as the iron and lead alkyl phthalates which are capable of accelerating the hardening of drying oils.
The above description andexamples are intended to be illustrative only. Any modification of or variation therefrom which conforms to the spirit of the invention is intended to be included withinthe scope of the claims.
I claim:
1. A polyvalent metal salt of the acid phthalic ester of the mixture of monohydric, aliphatic, open chain, primary, alcohols obtainable by the carboxyl hydrogenation of coconut oil and containing in substantial amounts octyl, decyl' and dodecyl alcohols.
2. Ferric cetyl phthalate.
3. Zinc dodecyl phthalate.
4. A polyvalent heavy metal salt of an acid ester of a polycarboxylic acid in which ester at least one hydrogen atom of a carboxyl group has been replaced by an open chain aliphatic hydrocarbon radical of at least ten carbon atoms.
5. A polyvalent heavy metal salt of an acid phthalate wherein the hydrogen atom of one phthalate.
9. A polyvalent heavy metal salt of monododecyl phthalate.

Wonderful and varied collection of art!
The National Portrait Gallery is a great stop if you're visiting Trafalgar Square, and definitely a nice gallery in London! My favorite art pieces are those of the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements, and they had quite a collection there! I got to see Renoir's "Umbrellas", Van Gogh's "A Wheatfield, with Cypresses" (as well as several others of his), some Cezannes, and some really pretty Monets (including a version of the Water Lily Pond). We were also able to see a sketch and a painting by DaVinci (which my traveling companion was more interested in), and some art from many different eras. If you're an art fan at all, this is a must-see while in London. The staff was very friendly and helpful, it's conveniently located right off Trafalgar Square, and best of all, it's free! :)

A lovely visit to the National Portrait Gallery.
The National Portrait Gallery is in the same building as the National Gallery, but the entrance is by Charing Cross Road. The entrance isn´t flashy, as it were, and one could easily miss it. After entering one goes through the gallery shop. It seems like I, and some other people, entered by a side entrance. It was all a little confusing and I had no idea where to go. So I followed some people up an escalator, which took us to the highest floor.
From there opened up a big gallery, I couldn´t believe it. I was coming from a 3 hour´s walk through the National Gallery and here was another big gallery. All of them were portraits. Some of them were current, of politicians and actors. In one section there were photographs and paintings of the Royal family. And in one section there were only photos of Marilyn Monroe on display.
Then there were endless corridors and galleries with potraits of Dukes and Lords and aristocrats, kings and queens and politicians. It was in here that people were taking photos with the flash on, even though it was not allowed - and nobody said anything (I refer to my tip on the National gallery). And people were talking on their mobile phones and writing on their Ipad - even though it says so by the entrance that all of the above is forbidden. I am against forbidding people to take photos at museums, but that is just my opinion. There must be a reason why it is not allowed - but taking photos without flash should be ok.
There was one hall with portraits of politicians - in one room I saw a painting which took my breath away - it was a big painting of the House of Commons in 1833. It covered the wall and each and every member in the House of Commons was painted on this big painting - the details were amazing. I just couldn´t tear myself away from this painting. Absolutely breath-taking.
In another room there was a picture - a long picture - a recreation of the Last Supper. There all the disciples and Jesus were famous British actors. In the middle, as Jesus, was Robert Powell, whom I remember well as playing the best role of Jesus I have ever seen. Back then I bought the book with the photos from the film. He was awesome in it - and this long photograph refers to that film. The photo is both funny and well made, a must see.
I would advice people from visiting both galleries at the same time - or at least stop for a bite to eat and sit down in between visits. As after a while one stops appreciating the art, it just gets to be too much. And the portraits are so worth one´s appreciation - they are just breath-taking.
There is an entrance fee to some sections of the gallery, but most of them are free.
Entrance fee: Free.
Opening hours: 10:00-18:00 daily, but on Thursdays and Fridays from 10:00-21:00.
The home of famous portraits
The National Portrait Gallery houses the world's largest collection of portraits from the late Middle Ages to the present day. Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, Shakespeare, Cromwell, Ben Johnson, Sir Christopher Wren, Lord Nelson, Byron, Queen Vistoria and Prince Albert, Dickens, the Bronte sisters and Jane Austen are just a few of these.
The gallery was founded in 1856.
Opening hours:
Daily 10-18
Thursdays and Fridays Late Shift, until 21 with music, talks, tours and workshops
Free of charge!

Somebody's watching you
... in fact, not somebody but everybody! The National Portrait Gallery is full of portraits of more or less famous people, ranging from Princess Diana to Roald Dahl, from Dame Judy Dench (my favourite actress) to some almost forgotten King. While I'm normally not so much into museums, this one was a very interesting experience. I particularly liked the photography exhibition in which renowned photographers have portrayed people. When I was there, there was a temporary exhibition called "An Englishman in New York" which featured portraits of English men and women living in New York.
You could easily spend a whole afternoon in the National Portrait Gallery, but it might be more enjoyable to pick one section at a time.
National Portrait Gallery
The Gallery was founded in 1856 to collect portraits of famous British men and women. Explore over 160,000 portraits from the 16th Century to the present day.
Something for everyone here whether you are old or young or from England or overseas.
Admission is free although there is a charge for special exhibitions.

National Portrait Gallery
A much unheralded national gallery established in 1856 and the home of the biggest collection of portraits in the world – some 160,000 (although needless to say not all are on display at one given time).
Featuring significant Brits, the collection spans time from Henry VIII to today. From oils, sketches, watercolours to photographs, artists from Holbein to Hockney, Cartier-Bresson to Avedon are all featured in a superb series of themed galleries (actors, politicans, industrialists, musicians etc). With free entry, if you're not interested in 19th century industrialists or politicians, miss them out - no pressure to see it all. And as you can see by the photo, it ain't all stuffy either...
Also hosts some great international exhibitions (although a charge applies).
Opening times: Sunday- Wednesday, 10am-6pm, Thursday & Friday, 10am-9pm
closed 24-26 December
Admission is free except for special exhibitions
National Portrait Gallery
I looked at the portraits in the following sections:
1714-1790 Rebellion To Reform: Late 18th Century
The portraits of those who were responsible in making Britain a world power in the fields of science and industry. As well as James Cook for his three worldwide voyages and Sir Han Sloane whose library formed The British Museum.
1790-1837 Rebellion to Reform: Late 18th to early 19th Century
The Regency in the Weldon Galleries
I saw portraits by various artists of those whom I studied my last humanities course including King George IV (known as Prince Regent); William Wordsworth; George Gordon Byron; Sir Humphrey Davy; John Soane; Wiliam Wilberforce and many more! They were part of the Rebellion to Reform era including Romanticism.
What I liked about the galleries is thare are computer points wheen you can look up more about the characters of the portraits and learn more of the contexts and history. I looked through the Regency Timeline - fascinating!
The National Portrait Gallery is free to visit apart from special exhibitions although donations are always appreciated.

Portraits of who exactly? And what did he do?
The gallery displays over 1000 portraits of British men and women who have shaped world history to some degree - stretching from the middle ages through to the modern day.
The Collection dates from 1505 through until the present day; in addition to the permanent colelction, there are regular special exhibitions held in the gallery.
The gallery opens between 10am to 6pm, with late opening until 9pm taking place on Thursday and Friday.
There are two eateries - The Portrait Restaurant located on the top floor serving a modern British menu and The Portrait Cafe in the basement serving sandwiches and refreshments.
The Great, the Good and the Ugly
I'm very fond indeed of the National Portrait Gallery. As you'd expect, the criterion for hanging is who is depicted rather than the quality of the painting qua painting, and there are some very dodgy canvases on display. I am rather fond of bad paintings: they often tell you more about the aethetic of the time in which they were painted than masterpieces.
But for me it's primary attraction are the galleries devoted to contemporary portraiture, which will lay to rest any doubt that figurative painting is alive and well and that a good painted portrait will generally whup the ass of any photograph. Not that all the contemporary efforts are particularly good considered as paintings: Lucien Freud aside, wha is about the Royal family that results in such stunningly mediocre canvases?
The hang is constantly being rejigged, so there's usually something new to look at, and there are generally small temporary exhibitions which are almost invariably of note.
National Portrait Gallery
The National Portrait Gallery is 'hidden' slightly round the corner from the rather more imposing National Gallery in Trafalgar Square. It would be a shame to miss it though, as it's very interesting and there is a very brief biography of each subject, so you know whom you are looking at.
Admission is free, except for special exhibitions, which are to be found on the ground floor, along with the contemporary (post 1990) collections.
The first floor covers the period from Victorians up to the late 20th century (subjects from the latter period include Paul McCartney and Margaret Thatcher).
The second floor has Tudor, 17th century, 18th century and early 19th century portraits.
Opening hours are 10.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. daily, with late opening until 9.00 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays.
The cafe in the basement offers a nice range of sandwiches, salads and cakes.

The National Portrait Gallery
Founded in 1856, the National Portrait Gallery was the world's first portrait museum. In 1896, the museum moved to its current location, adjacent to the National Gallery building, off Trafalgar Square. The building itself, with Neoclassical touches, was designed by Ewan Christian who decorated its entrance with the busts of the three founders of the National Portrait Gallery. The museum contains an impressive collection of portraits, photographs and caricatures of historical British figures.

Often overlooked
Often overlooked in favour of its larger and more famous neighbour, the National Gallery, this is nevertheless well worth a visit too. The name is rather a giveaway – this gallery focuses purely on portraiture. But if that sounds a bit limiting you may be in for a pleasant surprise. The collection is large and varied, and an excellent succession of special exhibitions each year brings further depth. Indeed it is these special exhibitions that often draw us here. We're both keen on photography and this gallery often showcases the great portrait photographers. A recent example was the fantastic Annie Leibovitz retrospective, which presented her commercial portraits and photo-journalism alongside moving images of her family and friends from her own personal collection.
The Gallery was founded in 1856 to collect portraits of famous British men and women. Today it houses around 120,000 portraits of the most eminent persons in British history from Tudor times to the present day. As I tend to prefer more modern art I like especially the recent portraits, many of them of current "celebrities" – everyone from the Royal family to sports stars and politicians.
The gallery is open daily 10.00 -18.00, and until 21:00 on Thursdays and Fridays. General admission is free, although a charge is made for major exhibitions. And even if you're not interested in art you might consider visiting to have lunch or afternoon tea in the top-floor restaurant with its fantastic views of Nelson in Trafalgar Square and across Whitehall to the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and the London Eye – one of London's best kept secrets. The menu is modern British in style and isn't cheap (don't expect an old fashioned museum cafeteria) but I've heard the food is as good as the view although I'm yet to sample it myself. Oh, and do reserve a table if you want to eat here: 020 7312 2490.

A Treasure Trove of Art
A visit to this museum is like getting an education in art. Started in the early 1800's with 3 dozen major paintings, it has grown to a gallery containing almost 70 different rooms. Highlights include many early Renaissance masterpieces, a few Da Vinci drawings, good examples of the "Dutch Masters", and don't overlook the mosaics you are walking on in the vestibules and staircase landings!

National Portrait Gallery
This is a really fantastic museum as it recounts Britain's development through portraits and also puts faces to those names of famous individuals of history.
It had previously only displayed portraits of mainly those individuals already deceased but that changed in 1969 and now you can see portraits of individuals who are still alive as well.
A great way to catch up on your history listen!

Food in restaurant good. Awesome views and very relaxing- beautiful. - Anonymous
Comfort, facilities, sanitation, bedroom, very efficient concierge and outdoor bar staff. - Anonymous
Everything. The words I have responded to sum it up. The villa design,
it's space, furniture and equipment, and general resort facilities
made other 5 star accommodation seem lacking by comparison. - Anonymous
All the staff were fantastic, from the concierge and receptionist to the bar and restaurant staff. They were friendly, approachable, helpful & enthusiastic.
The resort was very clean and pretty with lovely gardens and ponds throughout.
The pool was the perfect temperature. Plenty of sun loungers and day beds. Swim up pool bar was a bonus.
The food in both of the restaurants and the room service was fantastic. - Anonymous
Room very comfortable. Facilities great. - Anonymous
The appartment is furnished and finished to a very high standard and was very well equipped. A large private patio area next to the pool was great for relaxing at the end of a day. Very close to the beach and a reasonable walk to the restaurants and shops in town. Very friendly and helpful staff. Convenient underground parking. Highly recommended, would return if we're in the area again! - Anonymous
The accommodation and location could not be beaten. Lots to do in a very relaxing setting and being self catering with restaurants on the door step everything is at your own pace. - Anonymous
It was really quiet and relaxing. Loved having an apartment.So close to town and the beach. - Anonymous
Excellent location, right in the heart of Port Douglas' main street with close proximity to great restaurants, shops, beach and marina. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, the apartment was very clean and appliances looked new and clean too. - Anonymous

... this helped as well.
The villa that we rented along with my brother Peter, his wife Sarah and their two kids, James and Emma, was a bargain at around �55 per night for a four bedroomed place with pool and proved to be excellent value.

An early morning to get on the bus at 7:25am heading to Barcelona airport. After a maccas breakfast we boarded the plane for Menorca.

We wake to clear blue skies, and it's lovely and warm as we walk up to the bus station for the final time. We catch the 09.45 bus for the ten minute ride to the airport. Menorca has been great and we buy a book on walks around the island, The Cami de Cavalls. ...
Mahon - San Tomas - Es Migjorn Gran
A welcome late start as the bus doesn't leave for Sant Tomas, a small town on the coast in the south of the island, until 12.15. The 10km walk starts with a kilometre along the sandy beaches which look stunning iwith blue sky and turquoise sea. It's a shame to leave as the walk cuts up the limestone gorge but it is equally impressive with trees, scrub, wild flowers against the white limestone. It's hot and eventually we arrive at the Cova de Coloms, ...

Wedge Management: Combating "More Of Me"…

RE/P Files: Construction Of A Live Echo Chamber
Almost every Syn-Aud-Con seminar has attendees from other technical fields that need to learn about sound systems and audio.
These fields include networking, telephony, lighting, electrical and others.
Many tell us that audio is the most confusing thing they have encountered in their technical careers – and it is no wonder.
Consider the input types that may exist on a mixing console. I found all of these on units sitting around the shop.
There are nine (9) analog topologies and twelve (12) digital topologies. Each serves a purpose. Each works fine for its intended application. Each is defensible from a technical and practical point-of-view. Each will likely remain in use as other connector types and topologies emerge.
Consider also that some of these have several variations, such as the polarity convention on an XLR connector or AES3 on a DB25 connector.
It is ironic that digital I/O is often touted as making things easier, yet there are more digital connector types than analog! Add to this the confusion caused by the need to configure digital I/O for the correct sample rate, bit-depth, etc.
It's no wonder that noise and distortion remain the weak links of most sound systems. They often result from feeding the wrong signal to the wrong jack.
We have all heard a DVD player over-driving a microphone input. Yes, you get sound, but in audio the presence of sound does not necessarily mean that you hooked it up right.

Oldest cave art discovered in U.S. shows prehistoric southern livingtags: Discovery News, cave art, cave paintings, Tennessee, Native American history
The oldest and most widespread collection of prehistoric cave and rock art in the United States has been found in and around Tennessee, according to a new paper in the journal Antiquity that documents the art. It provides intriguing clues about what life was like for Native American societies more than 6,000 years ago. That is the age of the newly discovered cave art, one of which is seen here, showing what appears to be a human hunting. Other images are of a more direct spiritual/mythological nature.
Lead author Jan Simek, president emeritus and a distinguished professor of science at the University of Tennessee's Department of Anthropology, told Discovery News, "The discoveries tell us that prehistoric peoples in the Cumberland Plateau used this rather distinctive upland environment for a variety of purposes and that religion was part of that broader sense of place." Jan Simek, Alan Cressler, Nicholas Herrmann and Sarah Sherwood/Antiquity Publications Ltd.
A very large polychrome pictograph depicts humans, serpents and circles. The image, from the same overall site, but extending into Alabama, likely illustrated a myth spread across generations via word of mouth, with such permanent imagery further preserving its meaning, lost to history....

removing and replanting staghorn pups
patricia34142March 10, 2010
I have a very large staghorn approximately 25yrs. old growing completely around a grapefruit tree. How do I remove the pups safely and start new plants. Also what is the best fertilizer for these plants. Thank You,
donaldb(5B Worcester, MA)
You should find all the info with the link that is supplied. I have three of these that are not anywhere near the age of yours (8years). The only fertilizer they are given is a weak, very weak drink of 20-20-20 orchid fertilizer and that is only once a month. What I do give them is a good size chunk of banana peel as they love potassium. Hop this helps a bit.

Not a friendly campground for big rigs. We use to go to this one when we had a pop-up camper and it was okay. The owners before the campground changed ownership were very nice. We went from a pop-up to a 32ft travel trailer and almost got it stuck trying to come out of the campground. The new owners were not very friendly at all. They could care less if you were having problems getting in and out of their campground. We camped at A Wonderful Life Campground in a Travel Trailer.Undo

The campground differed so much from the ad in Woodall's I'm not sure the reviewers were in the right place. The facilities were dirty and run down. The roads and sites are in very poor shape. The fishing pond advertised dried up years ago. The dump station was right next to the swimmimg pool. The park was occupied mostly by full time residents, this appeared to be their last stop before being completely homeless. We camped at A Wonderful Life Campground in a Travel Trailer.Undo

Technically Mike Tate is not "stepping down" he is not running for re-election. He is going to keep his cushy, well paying job until the very last day he can. Besides he has one more spring election to lose.
Mike Tate relinquishing his role as head of the ole boys club, will now set in motion a bunch of people trying to take over his seat at head of the Ole Boys table. Hopefully whoever ends up taking his place has a firmer grip on reality.
I will have more to say as my time as Chair draws to a close, but know that every day serving as Chair has been an honor and a privilege. It is an experience I will never forget and will always treasure.
And if the attendees are any indication, a proposed swine concentrated agricultural feeding operation (CAFO) is about as popular an idea in this picturesque Lake Superior county as the millions of gallons of liquid pig manure the CAFO would produce annually by the projected 14,625 hogs. (Mullen, Ashland Daily Press)
Out of the some twenty speakers at the hearing, only one supports the proposed CAFO, the rest of the speakers are vehemently opposed, a hearing attendee reports.

In place of jails, Daly suggests work-sentencing programs focused on growing food. According to Daly, the city would need to build several partially submerged greenhouses that could grow food year-round. In addition to being an alternative to jails, the greenhouses could help Madison become more self-sufficient.

….the point I wish to make when it comes to the Young, Gifted and Black Coalition in Madison which have made headlines along with unjustified attacks on the Madison Police Department. If I were to offer advice to this group it would start out by first and foremost helping them discover what the real enemy happens to be before they pick a fight….
If the coalition wanted to make a sincere change in the lives of those who need help the most they would ante up by mentoring a young person struggling for higher math, reading, and science skills in one of our low-income neighborhood schools. Pick among the many that cry out for help and in so doing make this a better city. Allis, Falk, Hawthorne Middle School, and even East High are all schools that could be aided by mentors….

The Young Gifted and Black Coalition is glad to participate in an open conversation with other members of the community to address ways to end racial disparities within the criminal justice system. The Coalition believes important first steps include a moratorium on all spending toward and building of jail facilities, the immediate release of 350 Black people housed in Dane County Jail due to crimes of poverty, an end to solitary confinement and significantly reducing police presence in poor and Black neighborhoods.

Someone had to stand against Young, Gifted and Black at their rally Tuesday evening.So it was good to see Tom Brew, Todd Osborne, and Steve Hufton join the Squire on the freezing cold steps of the City-County Building Tuesday afternoon to counter the noisy group agitating for an apartheid justice system in Dane County.

Frank Kaminsky, who did not play in Wisconsin's loss to Rutgers because he was still recovering from a concussion, has been cleared to practice Tuesday.
The senior center is expected to play Thursday when UW (15-2, 3-1 Big Ten) hosts Nebraska (10-6, 2-2).
Kaminsky leads UW in scoring (16.9 ppg), rebounds (8.2), blocks (1.9) and steals (1.2) and his presence was missed on both ends of the court Sunday as Rutgers overcame a 12-point second-half deficit to stun UW, 67-62.

Something comes up BEFORE THE GAME EVEN STARTED and I have to bail on my team, and I get penalized points for it? Wasn't the 30 minute queue ban enough to keep people from dodging for the wrong reasons? If someone truly has to leave and the game didn't even start yet theres NO reason they should lose league points for it
Junior Member
Well now its only 5 minutes you have to wait, frankly I like the new system better because it sorta forces people to play games that they wouldnt feel comfortable playing in, like an amumu on the other team or something. Now less people dodge so its much better.

Honestly its still less than a loss so gladly take it over having a top or feed not get top any day.
Why not just add a "vote kick" option? That way one member doesn't screw it up for the rest of the team. It's not as if q times are excessive.

Ranking members of the special parliamentary committee on reforming the National Intelligence Service (NIS) were to meet Tuesday morning for a final review of the reform package before convening a full meeting of the committee to approve the deal, the sources said. NIS reform has been the main sticking point holding up the passage of the national budget. Stalled negotiations have sparked concern that the government could be forced to formulate a tentative, minimum-spending budget unless the National Assembly passes the full budget by year's end. During the negotiations, the ruling Saenuri and main opposition Democratic parties have argued mainly over two issues, one of them about whether to make the parliamentary intelligence committee an independent standing panel to increase the oversight of the spy agency. Currently, the committee convenes only when necessary, with its members doubling as members of other standing committees. In the latest deal, the rival parties agreed to seek its transformation into the standing panel. The other issue was about how to ban NIS agents, known as IOs, or intelligence officers, from making routine visits to government agencies, a practice that critics have denounced as unwarranted spying. The rival parties agreed to specify the ban in the internal regulations of the NIS, the sources said. Once the reform package is passed, it will be sent to the plenary session. <All rights reserved by Yonhap News Agency>

As the Nimitz makes its final transit from Hawaii to California, the sailors and Marines on board prepare to return to their homes and families. For those still on board, the "Tiger Cruise" provides a buffer, but there's no such transition for those who fly home early from Hawaii. As the Nimitz returns to her home port of San Diego, sailors and Marines reflect on the deployment and take stock of what they've achieved. Was the mission accomplished? There are tearful, joyful reunions at the pier.

Live with the angels? or Live with Los Angeles;)
No, Amanda, it's "Sleep with the litte Angels..." It sounds strange, but it's what grown-ups tell their kids when they go to bed... :)
Floresita - this turned out fantastic! Great work, and I always loved that phrase! (i heard it in a movie before...)
Thanks Elena! I like it, too! ;)
Bravo! What a gorgeous design! Of course I AM a huge fan of dia de los muertos art and figures (we have a rather large collection).
I love this! Is this on a pillowcase? I love the colors and the way you made the banner. Very cool!
Thanks fanceepants! I like them more than ever now, because they remind me of Texas... it was really big in the local art scene there.
Thanks bluemoonart - yes, it is on a pillowcase. The patterns are from Jenny Hart's Stitch-It Kit - I can't say enough how much I love that kit. I added some Spanish to her very Mexican-inspired motifs.... :)

Sirens sound as Souris tops levees in Minot
MINOT (AP) -- Sirens in the North Dakota city of Minot are sounding to warn that the Souris River has begun to overtop levees earlier than anticipated.
The warning came five hours ahead of a looming deadline for nearly 11,000 residents to evacuate their homes for a second time in a month.
