The Impersonal World of Britney Spears

Even a supposed "personal" album from Britney Spears is hopelessly empty.

For nearly half her life, Britney Spears has been pop royalty. Utilizing the planet's finest producers and agilely adapting her sound to stay current, she boasts a commercial track record that's the envy of any modern act—8 platinum albums, 12 Top 10 singles—and serves as the bridge between 1980s divas such as Madonna and 21st century stars such as Lady Gaga.
Not bad for an android.
It's not that Spears, who turned 32 recently, is an unfeeling machine. As she demonstrates on her new album, Britney Jean, she still knows how to embody the emotions of a song through that husky, undistinguished voice of hers. But there's a noticeable gap between the sentiments her songs convey and the connection we make to the woman singing them. For 15 years, Spears has been a dynamic delivery system for sexy dance tunes. And yet, we rarely have any sense that Spears feels these sentiments on any personal level. We love her music more than we love her—in part because we don't know her.
This is even stranger since Britney Jean has been advertised as an album straight from her heart. "It's the most personal album I've done," Spears told Ryan Seacrest before the record's release. "After having a huge breakup this year, I had a lot to say in the studio, so it was really nice to have a therapy like that and to be able to share that with my fans." Apparently, Spears envisions Britney Jean as an emotional exorcism of her three-year relationship to talent agent Jason Trawick, mourning her lost love while also celebrating her newfound sexual freedom. But like 2007's Blackout—a response to the tabloid circus she created that year by shaving her head in public—Britney Jean is entirely dependent on the quality of producers and songwriters involved.
And they don't have a lot to say. Running only 36 minutes, Britney Jean displays a brevity that's in keeping with an artist who's less engaged with pouring out her heart than in moving swiftly between each song-cum-brand-management. The bam-bam-bam professionalism gets put in motion from the beginning as Spears checks off familiar lyrical topics with each track: A fame-is-lonely lament ("Alien") segues into a strutting I'm-famous-you're-not dance track ("Work Bitch"), which segues into a melancholy romantic ballad ("Perfume"). Each one is expert pop overseen by heavyweight industry producers like William Orbit and will.i.am, but they're not really revealing. For as much as Spears has talked about Britney Jean being a personal album, "personal" isn't what she's about.
From the start of her career, Spears hasn't liked baring her soul—she's the ultimate tease, the seductress just out of reach. And that's how her fans prefer it: We like Spears not because she represents anything concrete but rather, because she can be an attractive, willing avatar for us to fill with our own desires and attitudes. Maybe that's why her burgeoning sexuality, first witnessed in the "…Baby One More Time" video where she dressed up like a slutty-innocent Catholic schoolgirl, never seemed particularly risqué. If there had been a perspective to the sensuality—if there was any sense of an authorial voice behind the provocation—maybe it would have been more blasphemous.
But for all her suggestive photo shoots and MTV Video Music Award appearances, she's always made sex seem safe—like the work of Ken and Barbie dolls that are missing the crucial anatomical parts. Even when she started adding an adult edge to her sex appeal on mid-2000 tracks like the bad-boy paean "Toxic," there was still a girlish sweetness that muted the danger quotient. (That's why the more overt "I'm a Slave 4 U" from 2001's Britney was a miscalculation: It was too blatant in its sexual frankness for her to sell it successfully.)
But after two failed marriages and an aborted engagement, Spears can't pretend to be the coy, demure young woman competing with the girlie-girl cutesiness of recent PG love songs like Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" or Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe". Spears is older and more experienced than her female competition, and yet, on Britney Jean her longevity and maturity haven't resulted in a grownup sexiness or self-reflection. Instead, we get bromides like "It Should Be Easy," where will.i.am intones "Love, it should be easy / It shouldn't be complicated" or flat breakup ballads like "Don't Cry" in which Spears moans, "This is gonna be our last goodbye / Our love is gone, but I'll survive."
In the end, survival is Britney Jean's (and Britney's) real theme. It's an unusual move in contemporary pop. Today's female stars flaunt dynamic, highly specialized musical personas: Lady Gaga brings avant-garde strangeness to the mainstream, Katy Perry projects uncomplicated all-American sunniness, Rihanna bridges the divide between pop, hip-hop and R&B and Miley Cyrus parades unchecked, unembarrassed sexuality. By comparison, Spears's persona is that of the fighter, the been-there-done-that veteran. Her 2007 breakdown inadvertently ushered in this second stage of her career in which she shed the coquettish, compliant image of her early hits for a steelier sound and tarter tongue.
But from Blackout through Britney Jean, her best songs (Blackout's "Gimme More" and "Piece of Me," Britney Jean's "Perfume") have lightly touched on aspects of her personal life without opening much of a window into her world. "Perfume" paints a scenario in which Britney is obsessing that her boyfriend is still interested in his ex, driving her to confess, "I put on my perfume / Yeah, I want it all over you / I gotta mark my territory." The possessiveness should be sexy—or at least kinky—but it's not. There's a blasé matter-of-factness to Spears that doesn't leave room for vulnerability or libido. When she's flirting with rapper T.I. on the pseudo-horny "Tik Tik Boom", her come-ons ordering him to "Talk dirty to me, baby / Every time I want it" are neutered by her studio-treated vocals, turning her into a Real Doll. On the next track, the club banger "Body Ache," she's trying to dance away her relationship woes with some of the lamest pickup lines imaginable: "I know you feel my fire / Throw you into my flames / Tonight we take it higher / What I got ain't no game."
For as dazzlingly inventive as her music can be, tackling current pop trends and adding new dimensions to them, her lyrics have rarely been equally daring. That's probably because her hitmakers have written her words for her, but on Britney Jean she's credited as a co-writer on all 10 tracks—not that it makes much of a difference. When she rides the deceptively euphoric EDM groove of "Til It's Gone"—which deals directly with heartbreak—she only can muster up clichés like "You never know what you got 'til it's gone." In a way, this has always been her strategy: Embrace anonymous sentiments so forcefully that hopefully listeners will project their own specifics into the tunes, making the songs their own.
But the lack of fire suggests an artist who doesn't look at music as therapy—or even a release (no matter what Spears says otherwise). Her songs and her videos are sometimes perceived as being provocative, but true intimacy—between lovers or between a singer and her audience—doesn't happen without openness, trust and connection. Those are things Spears can't, or won't, bring to her music.
And it's why she'll never be the equal of one of her idols—Madonna. ("I would really, really, really like to be a legend like Madonna," she once said. "Madonna knows what to do next, and when she's performing, the audience is just in awe of her.") It was her onstage kiss with Madonna at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards that established her as a possible heir to Madge's throne. But when Madonna was about the age Spears is now, she put out Like a Prayer, a risky, exhilarating album that found her grappling with issues including her contentious relationship with her father ("Oh Father"), her failed marriage to Sean Penn ("Till Death Do Us Part"), female empowerment ("Express Yourself") and the intersection of religious faith and sexual ecstasy ("Like a Prayer").
Intelligent and arousing, Like a Prayer was the best kind of "personal album," a top-flight artist merging pop instincts with individual obsessions. Britney Jean bears Spears's name but not much of her soul. No wonder that she's never more impassioned on the album than when she's advising her fans that if they want the mansion and the jet-setting parties like she enjoys that they better "Work Bitch." "I am the bad bitch," she taunts. "The bitch that you'll never know." And that's a shame.

Aaron Rodgers was the main reason Green Bay Packers even made it to the playoffs this past season. However, against us in the post season, he made some costly mistakes in my opinion.
I think we can both agree that neither Green Bay Packers nor NY Giants are going to win in post season with bad performances by Aaron Rodgers or Eli Manning. Unless of course you are one of the few that thinks David Caar is not still PTSDed and he can get it done for us.
The Giants defense was outstanding throughout the playoffs for BOTH Super Bowl runs. Where did they stutter? Was it the shut out they had against the Falcons? Was it holding the Patriots to half of their regular season average in points in BOTH Super Bowls? There is no way the offense was so good they could have overcome a poor defensive performance. Scoring two TD's in the Super Bowl is not exactly lighting up the score board.
the drops need to stop. especially from cruz. im not convinced our system isnt qb friendly though. One thing eli has over a lot of other qb's possibly even rodgers is adaptability. i think eli can play at a high level in any condition. it could be rainy, snowy, windy, 20 degrees, it doesnt matter. I think weather was a big part of the reason peyton looked bad this year in the post season. A lot of QB's choke when the weather is bad, but not Eli.I can get your point about Green Bay's O line playing almost every game the way ours played against San Francisco but I counter, that if we are going to bring up the dropped passes in the playoff game against us by Aaron's receivers then we have to acknowledge how regularly that happens for Eli. NY Giants are regularly near the top or at the top of NFL for dropped passes by receivers.

The drops do need to stop but I am not confident that they will. It seems to be with us every year.
I do like that about Eli Manning that he can play at a high level in any condition and so can Aaron Rodgers but I do think that adaptability may be an area that Eli is stronger than Aaron in. It is odd because when Eli is focused, it seems like we always have a good chance to win and it also seems like the rest of the team plays a lot better.
Herm Edwards who?
Lol. Yeah they tried to give it away by holding a great offense to only half their normal point total. The defense was responsible for 2 points and setting the offense up for their 1st TD. The game also ended with the defense on the field preventing any points. Saying they tried to give it away is reaching way to far.

Pierce has been on my periphery and it looks like he's moving himself up to a 2nd round pick for us if we go in that direction.
I've been VERY high on Evan Rodriquez since December. This guy is one of my sleeper picks in this draft.
Running back Bernard Pierce, who surprised many with a 4.45 40 clocking at the combine, lowered his time by one-tenth today. Several watches had Pierce, not known as a fast ball-carrier, turning in times of 4.34 seconds. Sure-handed receiver Rod Streater also cracked the 4.4-second barrier, timing 4.37 in the 40.
Read more: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/201...#ixzz1paoXWEd5After his tremendous 40 time, running back Bernard Pierce looked terrific in pass catching drills. The junior ran both short and deep routes, looking equally effective in both. He was natural catching the ball and at one point made an impressive fingertip grab. Pierce has solidified himself in the second tier of running backs next April and ranks as a potential top-75 choice.
Fellow combine invitee Evan Rodriquez rested on his 40 time from Indianapolis (4.53 seconds), but was another who stood out in pass catching drills. Rodriquez lined-up at tight end, fullback and H-back during position drills, looking smooth in all areas.

Lambert Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome (LEMS) is rare neurological disorder that results in muscle weakness and limited reflex activity. More than half of LEMS cases are associated with a malignancy, usually small cell lung cancer, and tend to progress more quickly than cases not coupled with malignant cells.
3,4diaminopyridine (3,4DAP)is a drug that has been demonstrated to be effective in treating the weakness associated with LEMS as it increases strength and improves autonomic symptoms in LEMS patients. It is not currently approved by the FDA for use in the United States. The investigators plan to use 3,4DAP to treat patients with LEMS here at the Columbia University MDA/ALS Research Center.

Stuff We Want: Razer Nabu

We're digging the People's Choice Award winning Razer Nabu from CES 2014

It's no secret that Razer had an incredible year at CES 2014. Not only did the Best in CES title go to the company for the third straight year for Project Christine, a modular gaming PC concept, they've also kicked up their Adaro series of audio products, bringing the incredible audio experience we know and love from their gaming headsets to everyday use with the release of in-ear, DJ and wireless headphones. But for those who have little to no need for such an ambitious gaming tower or another headset, their Nabu Smartband will surely be an item you'll be wanting this year.
What sets the Razer Nabu apart from other smartwatches on the market is the fact that it is the world's first wearable device capable of notifications, life tracking, band-to-band social connectivity and gamification. It's essentially a Nike FuelBand on steroids. Unlike other similar designs, the Nabu is open-platform; third-party developers can create apps and update existing apps that can apply the personal, physical and geographical opt-in data. "Smartwatches in their current form are too bulky and fitness trackers are easily forgotten after the initial novelty wears off—we have fixed all of that," notes Min-Liang Tan, Razer cofounder, CEO and creative director. "The Razer Nabu provides a revolutionary new platform that bridges the divide between so-called smartwatches and fitness bands. It delivers only the information you need, collects data that you want and deepens your social interactions. Most excitingly, with our open platform, developers can utilize data collected by the Nabu to deliver incredible experiences to individuals via mobile or desktop apps—social or otherwise."
The Razer Nabu has three core features:
The Razer Nabu has two OLED notification screens: a Public Icon Screen and a Private Message Screen. The Public Icon Screen—located on the top of the wrist—notifies users of incoming calls, texts, emails and app updates via notification icons. The Private Message Screen—located on the inside of the wrist—displays detailed information: texts, emails, bio data and other updates that can only be viewed by the user.
The Razer Nabu has advanced sensors for data tracking, including location information, bio data feedback (steps walked, distance traveled, stairs climbed, etc.), sleep data, band-to-band communication and much more, collected on an opt-in basis for users to better understand and adjust their daily activity. An included utility app can customize the type of data collected and can set permissions for the data to be shared.
The Razer Nabu's band-to-band communication abilities allow for social discovery. Find nearby friends, mutual acquaintances and more based on user-defined settings.
The Nabu will be available sometime in late Q1. Developers can sign up now and purchase the band at the developer's price of $49.
Check out Pamela Horton talking with Min-Liang Tan about the Nabu at CES 2014!

This is our first year well be installing 2 packages in a week or two (might add a third), and are using all 8 frame deep boxes. Although we have wax foundation we have that needs to be installed in frames soon, its standard 5.4mm cell. Ive heard a lot of the yeas and nays but I think Id rather start with natural "small" cell from the get go. Can I start with 4.9mm cell foundation or should I use 5.1 which I'd be stuck with for some time? If/when I need new packages in the future am I compromising the packages with small cell comb? In the unlikely event we provided small cell bees to anyone with standard 5.4mm cell combs, what are the problems with that? Thanks for any help.

In the land of year-round flower gardens, where the Green River Killer and Ted Bundy planted fellow citizens on banks and hillsides, where the movie Hype documented the emergence of grunge music, it's no small wonder that, for a few glorious, putrid days this summer, the Seattle media and the public responded to the siren song of the University of Washington news office. A corpse flower was about to bloom.
June 29. According to a press release, the flower is "an Amorphophallus titanum, also called Devil's Tongue or Titan Arum, the giant 'corpse flower' native to Sumatra." Douglas Ewing, manager of the university's botany greenhouse, grew the plant from seed six years ago. Now it's a Little Shop of Horrors wonder, 5 feet tall and "ready to bloom for the first time." It's also the first time one will bloom "west of Missouri." Although corpse flowers have bloomed in the United States only nine other times this century, two of those were earlier this year, in the East. "It's still rare when it flowers," Ewing says, sounding a little defensive. "It's still going to be unusual because it takes so much room and takes up so much warm space." How about a sound bite? "A plant that reeks of carrion probably isn't going to be big with the home gardener." And sex: We learn that because of their phallic shape these plants are "valued by some as aphrodisiacs or cures for impotence." Intimate details about its long, tubular spadix follow. The hook is set.
July 1. The news office issues a picture and a statement under the heading, "Image shows 'corpse flower' as it nears blooming." The text mentions again that it will be only the 10th time this century A. titanum has bloomed, "and the first time west of Missouri." This time, however, there is no mention of five other blooms the past two years. "In the first day of blooming, it will smell like rotting flesh. The bloom is likely to last only a couple of days, though it could last three or four."
July 7. Another press release trumpets the blessed event. "The stench of dead and bloated flesh drifted through the University of Washington botany greenhouse." The engorged flower now stands 6 feet tall. Ewing is elated. "It feels so much like when my two boys were born," he says. The odor "means it's doing what's natural, and I hope it continues to escalate and just drives us out of here." In Sumatra, the smell attracts carrion beetles and other pollinators. Here, it attracts students and other visitors. A little science slips in: "There are more than 170 species similar to the A. titanum, and many have distinct odor and heating properties. [Ewing] is using an infrared camera to study the powerful heating of the plant's spadix by internal chemical reactions. That process, called thermogenesis, generates the odor that attracts the insects." There is talk of a sequel. The chances are slim. But what if? "In the wild the plant can bloom every two to three years, but it is uncertain whether the UW plant will ever bloom again. There is no recorded instance of that ever happening with an A. titanum outside its natural habitat."
July 8. A "media advisory" signals the beginning of the end. "The corpse flower that started blooming in the University of Washington botany greenhouse yesterday began to collapse this afternoon." Its once-proud spadix "started its collapse about 24 hours after the plant began to open Wednesday afternoon, when it released its powerful stench, like rotting animal flesh, for several hours." Not to despair. It "could take a day for the spadix to completely collapse.… The plant remains on public display. More than 1,000 people viewed the plant today, in addition to more than 1,000 who saw it during the last several days. It is the 10th time this century an A. titanum has bloomed in the United States and the first time west of St. Louis."
July 9. The news office issues a pictorial post-mortem: "Pictures show three phases of UW botanist's rare 'corpse flower.'" The captions recap the tumescent putrefaction blow by blow. A final press release ends like death warmed over: "The UW blooming was only the 10th instance in the United States this century, and the first west of St. Louis."
Epilogue. A corpse flower epidemic? In August, CBS News—among others, no doubt—reports that for only the 11th time this century, a corpse flower has bloomed in the United States, this time in San Marino, California. Thousands line up to see and sniff it. There is no mention of St. Louis.—William J. Cannon

So, Pope Benedict XVI is resigning. The last Pope to do so was Gregory XII in 1415, but his resignation was more of an abdication than a voluntary retirement. The Church was in the midst of the Western Schism. There were three claimants to the papacy and, in the end, Gregory XII resigned under pressure and made possible the election of Martin V two years later.
One must travel back nearly 750 years to find the last time that a pope voluntarily resigned. Pope Celestine V resigned his post in 1294, after filling the See of Peter for a mere five months. Interestingly, one of his most notable contributions during his tenure was declaring that any pope had the right to resign or retire. He then utilized that very declaration to leave his position and return to his pre-papacy life of solitude.
Now, for the second time in a decade, the College of Cardinals will convene to vote on the next man to step into apostolic succession. Beginning in March, the world will turn its collective eye to Saint Peter's Square and watch until the smoke rising from the Sistine Chapel changes from dark to white, signaling the election of the next pope.

Just after some advice or a secret or two
I bought some wax for making candles and to me it smells like its been made with the steam too hot or something, and has burnt honey in it.
Have tried remelting in water and refiltering, but the blocks I make from that still have a bad odour to them.
Also I noticed in my presto pot when I have been filtering these blocks I get some black stuff on the bottom of the pot. Im assuming this is burnt honey?
Is there a trick to getting this wax back to odourless? I dont know, maybe boiling in detergent??
My wax that i make myself from my own bees always smells lovely but this bad batch is awful.
Any advice would be great!!

Excerpt: "It is time for this week's New York Giants roster power rankings, where we rank the players on the active roster from 1-53.
The results are cumulative and based mostly on this season's body of work. A player's past accomplishments are also weighed into their ranking, but the most important factor is the overall contribution to this season's Giants' team. The deeper we get into the season the more difficult it is not to overreact to one performance or one or two plays.
Read on and see how you think I did this week.
1. Eli Manning -- Do we need to discuss why? LW: 1
2. Victor Cruz -- Three salsa dances on Sunday and now he's talking about changing the signature touchdown celebration. Don't do it, Vic! LW: 2
3. Ahmad Bradshaw -- Just when some scribes were starting to wonder how much gas he had left in the tank (OK, I was starting to wonder) he comes up with the defining performance of his career. Pro Football Focus said 70 of Bradshaw's 200 yards rushing came after contact, which is a testament to how hard he ran against the Cleveland Browns. LW: 12
4. Will Beatty -- Amazed that Beatty is this high? I am, too. Part of that is that Beatty has been rock at left tackle since returning to the lineup, earning a +10.2 grade from Pro Football Focus. The other part of that is that after the awful defense the Giants played the last two week there is no way any defensive player deserves to be this high. Beatty, incidentally, has yet to allow a quarterback hit, or even a hurry. LW: 8
5. Jason Pierre-Paul -- I am only grudgingly putting Pierre-Paul this high. He said before the Cleveland game that he wasn't having any fun. Well, it's not much fun watching him plow straight ahead and get stoned at the line of scrimmage, either. The Giants need more than what they have gotten from JPP lately. LW: 3
6. Antrel Rolle -- As usual, it sort of bugs me to put him this high. But, I can't find a reason to really drop him lower. Or, anyone who absolutely has to be pushed above him. LW: 5
7. Martellus Bennett -- Count me among those that was impressed by Bennett's courage on Sunday, playing much of the game with a hyper-extended knee and blocking well enough to help the Giants have their best day running the ball in two years. This guy is en route to earning himself a big contract. LW: 16
8. Chris Snee -- Playing very well, and the Giants' offensive line is playing as well as it has in a long, long time. LW: 10
9. Linval Joseph -- You guys have been calling for it, and even though Sunday wasn't his best game I don't think I can keep him out of the top 10. LW: 13
10. Rocky Bernard -- They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. He drops one spot, which isn't nearly as much as he might have after not playing Sunday. Bernard has been terrific this season, and the Giants' really missed the big defensive tackle against the Browns. LW: 9

I am wondering if it is too late in the year now to start a new hive in our good climate.
Am reading a few differing opinions.
These are backyard bees in a top frame I have not yet purchased.
I am wondering if it is too late in the year now to start a new hive in our good climate.

No, I just did a cutout today of a swarm that moved in two wks ago and they have capped honey already. Seems like an exellent yr for us in terms of nectar flow.
One have produced 80 pounds already with another super almost fully capped.
Let me know if you'd like some bees.
>backyard bees in a top frame???
Top Bar hive?
Frame hive?
Full hive?
Part of a frame hive?
Part of a Topbar hive?
You should probably feed them this late.
Thank you for the replies. I could use some good local info. I am leaning towards purchasing the Top Bar Hive with legs. It has a window that can be opened on the side of observation. I would love to look inside myself, and children who visit also. BUT, in reading it seems like it could be too small, too fast as there is no way to place a super on top?
Is there a big division between Top Bar and Frame Hive opinions/camps?
I would love some bees if I can get this decision made. I really want to help support the bee population. I garden and am just now seeing more honey bees after several years of sketchy attendance.
Does the hive really need to be a far distance from the house? I have a few good spots in my mind but they may be 20-40 feet from home with low traffic.
Glad to have found you! JOE2
Hi Joe,
Last year I started a swarm in a nuc, in September. They overwintered just fine.
For a top bar hive you'd need a package of bees, which you can't get this time of year. Or a swarm, but prime swarm season is over. Because if you bought a nuc hive the frames wouldn't fit in you're top bar hive. There will still be swarms just not as many as earlier. Check in with the alameda county beekeepers assoc. Let them know you're looking for a swarm.
Welcome Joe! Top bar and Langstroth beekeepers are like snow skiiers and snow boarders. There are a few of us that enjoy both, but most think they are the only ones in their right minds. I find the Langstroth much easier to manage and less expensive as I cut my own of both. Bees are kept in both worldwide. The top bar has a longer history with archeological finds back thousands of years. I have seen the same design in use in the same Middle East countries they were originally discovered in.
Hi OD,
Just gave them a frame of honey from another hive. Also a few drawn frames . It was the beginning of Sep.
Not a big swarm maybe cantaloupe size. It was in my backyard so probably from one of my hives. If so the parent hive was able to raise a successful queen at that time of year. Because all 7 of our hives made it through winter OK.
Thank you all for the fast advice.
America's Beekeeper, I hope a newbie question is ok. I was considering the Top Bar because it appears to be easier and cheaper but your experience says otherwise. I am most interested in that response, as it just looks like a lot less equipment is needed for TopBar. Stop me if I am wrong?

Reviews of this property
Receipt and contact was fine. Room small ventilation shaft in through the window gave bad smells, squeaky doors, bad bed (mattress), cleanliness fine, breakfast okay, location pledge fine, good price
Ontvangst en contact was prima. Kamer klein, ventilatie via raam in schacht gaf vieze geuren, piepende deuren, slecht bed(matras),hygiene prima, ontbijt oke, ligging pand prima, prijs prima
Carlos is a friendly and pleasant guy and gave good instructions on how to get to the place. It was very easy to get there and the location is the best part. Room was clean and so were the bathrooms. The breakfast was good too. We got cornflakes, milk, bread, butter, marmalade, muffins, croissants, tea, coffee and juice.
The room was strictly ok and quite small. The bed was old, creaky and uncomfortable. There was no heater and the thin blanket wasnt enough and we were cold in the night. The pillows were very small and we folded them up to get some support.There was only one window which opened to the inner side of the building overlooking the adjacent bathroom. We kept it closed to keep the smell away.
Despite these things, given the price we paid, its location and general amenities, I would say its not too bad.
My stay was two noches..no had the opportunity to meet fellow carlos..Su I attended very friendly.
I felt like in my own home. The next repeat. Greetings from Tenerife.
Mi estancia fue de dos noches..no tuve la ocasión de conocer a carlos..Su compañera me atendió muy amable.
Me sentí como en mi propia casa. La próxima repetiré. Saludos desde Tenerife.
Everything OK. Thank you, Carlos!
Alles OK. Vielen Dank ,Carlos!
Carlos was away but we were very well received by his friend.
Everything was ok (bathroom two in number, room cleanliness ..).
Small problem: bedding, indeed the mattress squeaks a lot and we feel the springs!
Carlos été absent mais nous avons été très bien accueilli par son ami.
Tout était correct (salle de bains au nombre de deux, chambre, propreté..).
Petit bémol : la literie, en effet le matelas grince beaucoup et on sent les ressorts!
cool, good house near catunya good price, I had a pleasant stay soon :)
genial, una bona casa prop catunya bon preu, vaig tenir una estada agradable a aviat :)
A charming home of Carlos and very well positioned chamber to the center of Barcelona.
The only downside is the lack of natural light in this small room.
Un accueil charmant de Carlos et une chambre très bien placée vers le centre de Barcelone.
Le seul bémol est l'absence de lumière naturelle dans cette petite pièce.
Great host, location, atmosfere! The place is clean, convenient and not to expensive. Perfect!
Be well, Carlos! :)
Great host and very good person, made us easy stay, helped us in all, a highly recommended place and very good location to walk anywhere. Recommended option.

A property of this caliber very rarely becomes available. Beautifully sited on more than 5 acres in one of Santa Fe's most desirable areas, the classic 4-bdrm main residence, designed by John Gaw Meem, epitomizes the distinctive charm & relaxed elegance of Santa Fe. It offers a rare combination: the scale & style of a grand estate and the warmth & charm of a comfortable private home. Highlights include perfectly proportioned living & dining areas, a fabulous kitchen & family room, a serene master suite, three additional bedrooms & baths, an exceptional recreation room, and a roof deck with a breathtaking panorama. Brick and hardwood floors, hand-detailed woodwork, kiva fireplaces, & striking ceiling treatments - including beams, vigas, corbels & latillas - grace the interiors. Tall windows & French doors allow for easy appreciation of the magnificent grounds. Also on-site are 2 charming guesthouses, one of which includes a greenhouse & could easily function as a caretaker's residence.

QEP committee announces pre-proposal finalists
By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(July 13, 2008)--The UTSA Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) Committee announces three pre-proposal finalists, which were selected from 14 submissions. The QEP is part of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools - Commission on Colleges (SACS-COC) Reaffirmation 2010 process which began last spring.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
The SACS COC reaccreditation process involves two components -- preparation of the Compliance Certification Report and development of the Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP).
The QEP Committee has recommended three pre-proposals as finalists (QEP full proposals are due Oct. 1.). UTSA community members are invited to review the pre-proposals at the QEP Pre-proposal Web site and provide QEP finalists direct feedback as they develop their full proposals.
QEP pre-proposal finalists
- "Maximizing the Relevance of Graduate Education for Current and Prospective Students"
- "Quantitative Scholarship: From Literacy to Mastery"
- "Service Learning: The Paseo to Lifelong Learning
The QEP is a new reaccreditation requirement described as a "carefully designed and focused course of action that addresses one or more critical issues related to enhancing student learning." The first milestone of the QEP development process was met with the submission of the pre-proposals from which three finalists were selected for further development.
To document UTSA's compliance status, UTSA must gather data on 12 core requirements, 53 comprehensive standards and eight federal requirements, and then write a report. The efforts are being coordinated by Belinda Flores, associate professor of interdisciplinary learning and teaching and faculty fellow working with the Office of Vice Provost for Accountability and Institutional Effectiveness.

The Destination
If there's one place in America that represents the ideal small town, it's Fishers, Indiana. Money Magazine ranked it as the 12th Best Place to Live in America for 2012 and The Learning Channel's named it the Best City for Families the same year. Decorative street lamps line new wide roads; municipal lawns sport outfield-style grass cuttings; and ponds abound in this ultra-affordable suburb. Just 15 miles from Indianapolis, Fishers is big on parks and preserves, featuring 83 miles of greenways where hikers and bikers roam the trails, youngsters sit for amphitheater flicks, families gather for the Fishers Freedom Festival and the Fishers Renaissance Faire, and old-timers meet up for gentle yoga. The pedestrian-oriented downtown is yet another hallmark of this community that's focused first and foremost on quality of life.
The Digs
To taste the hometown hospitality of Baymont Inn and Suites Fishers, look no further than the toasty plate of cookies in the lobby every weekday afternoon.

Backus Legion successfully completes annual state gambling board compliance review
The Backus American Legion has successfully completed its annual compliance review conducted by the State Gambling Control Board.
As a result, no post review compliance meeting was required as are sometimes scheduled by the state to address serious deficiencies or violations by organizations conducting charitable gambling that can result in fines or gambling license suspensions.
"The actions taken by your organization sufficiently address the findings noted in that (compliance review) report," state Gambling Control Compliance Specialist Gary Simonson said in a post audit letter to Legion Commander William Taylor. "Thank you for your cooperation during our review process."
The Backus American Legion charitable gaming program reviewed by the state includes the post and its gaming site partners, Triolo's Restaurant and Lounge and Willard's Saloon and Eatery.
"We are satisfied that the state review shows that we not only continue to operate charitable gambling in compliance with state laws and regulations but with the kind of integrity that instills public confidence in our program,'' said Taylor. "That enables us to raise and donate funds to a number of worthwhile causes in our area.''

Paramore will release their fourth studio album on April 9. The band, now down to a trio, has self-titled the record. The lead single is called "Now." In a statement on their website, they said, "The whole making of this album was a rediscovering of ourselves as a band and as friends. It was a process that allowed us the freedom to explore new territory artistically and to liberate ourselves as musicians, singers, as people! Sincerely, we feel that the best way to give it a name is just to call it what it is. This album is us."
Yahoo! Music will host the exclusive pay-per-view live stream of the Rolling Stones' 50th Anniversary concert from The Prudential Center in Newark, NJ on December 15 at 9 p.m. EST. Rolling Stones fans also can visit Yahoo! Music for footage of past Stones concerts, band interviews and backstage access. Beginning at 8:30 p.m. EST on December 15, fans can watch an exclusive special entitled Countdown to the Rolling Stones, featuring pre-show activities and a countdown of the 10 greatest Rolling Stones moments of all-time. Rihanna will executive produce and star in a new fashion competition series for the Style Network called Styled to Rock. The hour-long, 10-episode series, which will premiere next year, will feature 12 rising fashion designers picked and mentored by Rihanna to style other celebrities. "Fashion has always played an integral part in my life and career," the singer said in a statement. "I am so excited to partner with Style Network and share my creative insight with these 12 designers and give them this opportunity to showcase their work."
In an effort to share the 12-12-12 benefit concert for Hurricane Sandy Relief with many people impacted by the storm, the event will be simulcast live in select movie theaters in hurricane-affected areas. This presentation will be free of charge to all attendees and complimentary refreshments will be provided. Free tickets are available now at participating theater box offices, and will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis. Event producers James Dolan, John Sykes and Harvey Weinstein said in a joint statement: "The live simulcast of this historic benefit concert in movie theatres will provide a welcome opportunity for those people still recovering from the devastation to have an enjoyable and much-needed night out. Seeing this incredible all-star lineup on the big screen and hearing it in surround sound will certainly make for a memorable evening." The concert, held at Madison Square Garden to benefit the Robin Hood Relief Fund, will feature Bon Jovi, Eric Clapton, Dave Grohl, Billy Joel, Alicia Keys, Chris Martin, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, Eddie Vedder, Roger Waters, Kanye West, The Who and Paul McCartney, with other artists to be announced.Although Owl City's fourth album, The Midsummer Station, just came out in August, main man Adam Young says he's already crafting new sounds for his next album. "I'm always in the back of the tour bus with my laptop and my headphones like, 'Don't talk to me. I'm busy,' working on something new on my laptop," Young told Billboard at the 2012 Jingle Ball in Los Angeles on Monday. As for the new material, Young said it's "a little bit more edgy in a good way. It sort of hits a little bit harder. I'm really inspired by dance music, so there's lots of trance-inspired music. I listen to a lot of trance DJs from Europe."

Breastplate associated with Will Somers. Probably Dutch, about 1630 (III.157)
Breastplate associated with Will Somers. Probably Dutch, about 1630 (III.157)
Breastplate associated with Will Somers. (III.157)

Carved wooden head of Henry VIII. English, about 1689-91 (XVII.1)
Object number: III.157
|Object Provenance:
|Probably Dutch, about 1630
|Object Number:
|III.157 with IV.22
|2.4 kg (5 lb 3 oz)
Mid 17th century breastplate painted up and displayed as part of Henry VIII's jester Will Somer's armour. It formed part of the Line of Kings display from the 18th century until Meyrick's reorganisation in 1820s, described in contemporary guidebooks as one of the curiosities supporting the main exhibition.
The outer surface of the breastplate is painted green and dotted with small yellow/gold flowers, while the medial ridge is painted to resemble yellow/gold brocade edging with button closure. Samples of the paint have been taken and results are awaited for a closer dating.
This breastplate was presumably taken from Tower stores to form part of a composite armour which also included vambraces and tassets (as yet unidentified) and the horned helmet (IV.22) originally part of a gift armour presented to Henry VIII by the Emperor Maximillian. An engraving of the ensemble was published in 1794.
The 18th century Guidebooks were much more interested in the spectacles attached to the helmet, supposedly showing that Somers was a cuckold, than the details of the rest of the armour. The 1768 Guide records that item (11) of the tour of the Horse Armoury presented to the visitor's notice is:
'the droll figure of Will Somers, as the warders tell you, king Henry VIIIth's jester : an honest man, says they, of a woman's making – had a handsome woman to his wife, who made him a cuckold; and wears his horns on his head, because they should not wear holes in his pockets. He would neither believe king, queen, nor anybody about the court that he was cuckold, til he put on his spectacles to see, being a little dim sighted, as all cuckolds should be; in which antic manner he is here represented'.
After the reorganisations of the 19th century, no mention is made of the droll figure, the helmet (IV.22) alone finding a place in the guidebooks. Hewitt's Guide of 1845, p.79, illustrates it and describes it as 'Anticke Head piece with rames Hornes and spectackels on it of Will Sumers' suggesting that it would have been worn at a Mock tournament when, according to Meyrick, fools supplied the places of heralds and pages, attending the knights and carrying their lances.

New Zealand basketball player Steven Adams announced today that he will declare for the NBA draft in June.
After insisting that he would return for his second year at Pitt, Adams has changed his mind and will sign with an agent, thereby forfeiting his final three seasons of college eligibility.
The 7-foot center announced his intentions today in a statement released by Pitt's athletic department.
"In discussing options with my family and Coach Dixon, I feel that it is in my best interest to declare for the NBA Draft," Adams said. "I want to thank everyone at Pitt, including my teammates, coaching staff, the administration and the fans who have all supported me over the last year."
Before his freshman college season, Adams was rated as a possible top ten NBA draft pick, but has slipped down the rankings due to some indifferent form throughout the year. He is still expected to be drafted in the first round.
Adams was named the Big East's preseason Rookie of the Year and was selected to the conference's All-Rookie team after averaging 7.2 points a game and leading the Panthers in blocked shots (65), rebounding (6.3) and field goal percentage (.571) in 32 starts.
The Panthers reached the NCAA basketball championships last month before losing to Wichita State 73-55 in the opening round. Adams led the side with 13 points and 11 rebounds in the defeat.
"After talking with Steven and his family, we fully support him in this decision," Pitt coach Jamie Dixon said in a statement. "We support him in choosing to pursue his dreams and in having the opportunity to provide for his family back in New Zealand. We will continue to stay involved in the process and he will always be a part of the Pitt Basketball family."
The 2013 NBA Draft is scheduled for June 27 at New York's Madison Square Garden.
If drafted, Adams -brother of Olympic gold medallist Valerie - would become just the third New Zealander to play in the NBA. Sean Marks was drafted by the New York Knicks in the 1998 second round and played for six NBA teams before retiring after the 2010-11 season, while Kirk Penney had two games for the Heat in 2003/04 and then four for the LA Clippers in the 2004/05 season.

Hey everyone!
I'm in the process of painting a Hasbro DL44 for a friend of mine as a gift. I'm using pretty basic paints :
flat matte black
krylon aluminum
mix of raw umber and burnt sienna for the handle
krylon clear gloss to seal
testors dullcote to kill the gloss
Whats happening is that after I seal, the dullcote does not knock out the gloss.
I experienced the same thing on my EE3. It helped, but not completely. Compared to the flat black, it's still quite glossy.
Any tips on getting rid of the gloss? Am I using this product right? I've read it can be pretty tricky.

First responder Matt Kiefelbach
A little over a week ago I had a problem where I could not breathe. My wife had the presence of mind to immediately call 911. Thanks, Jo!
I became a little confused but next thing I remember, some man "Matt" was sitting in front of me, working on me and applying oxygen, etc.
To make a long story short, I was soon on my way to the hospital.
Well, I am still around to continue to bug people and it might just be possible what Matt did for me had something to do with it.
Thanks, Matt. First responders are valuable to our community.

Well, it's spring and here's my report on overwintering my three box long medium frame hive.
This hive is three boxes long (48 3/4") with 33 medium depth frames in it. It has a Screened Bottom Board running the length of the hive. I put a piece of cardboard in under the SBB but it sagged a lot in the middle leaving a gap about 4" high by about 8" long most of the winter. I had three migratory covers side by side for a lid.
It came through the winter better than any of the rest of my hives. The cluster stayed in the front (near the entrance which is where the brood nest was) all winter, but seemed to move stores into that area when the weather was nice. All my hives the bees seemed to stay at the top of the hive by the cover. I wonder if it's just for the low overhead so the cover reflects more heat back? I wonder if a layer of aluminum foil glued onto the cover would help them keep warm by refelecting all that radiant heat?
Seems like the hives with more ventilation did better than ones with less. This one had that gap in the cardboard leaving a lot of air coming in the bottom. Some of the nucs had solid migratory tops and those didn't do as well as the ones with DE ventilation units on them.
The bees in the horizontal hive didn't move around that much, as I had expected, but they kept that area full of stores and the cluster came through as strong or stronger than the vertical hives.
I don't know how this will work with a top bar hive. In the long medium hive there is still that beespace at the top to communicate where a top bar hive is solid at the top. If the bees move to the top like they did in most of my hives then how will they communicate in a top bar hive? I don't know the answer to how that will work.
Most of my hives, it seems that the bees moved quickly to the top, not eating the stores along the way, but then spent most of the winter at the top of the hive by the inner cover.

. Color Scheme and logo play a role. Probably the biggest role honestly. For instance, I hated the name "Pelicans" before I saw some cool design logos from fans. It made me like the idea more.

If the Breakers and Perth do what most expect and set a grand final date for April, the defending champions will feel rather relaxed about the rematch.
The Breakers picked the right time to score their season-high in points, pounding Perth by 17 points at Vector Arena to seize the initiative in the pursuit of the Australian NBL minor premiership.
The victory was the Breakers' 10th in a row, extending their club-record streak, and enabled New Zealand to exact an element of revenge after two heavy defeats at the hands of the Wildcats this season.
With those losses coming by a combined 46 points, the Breakers seemed determined to hand out their own hiding in front of 9200 fans.
Once they recovered from a slow start and took their first lead in the second quarter, the Breakers proceeded to pour in the points and ensure they will have happy memories of the venue should the teams return in the postseason.
Coach Andrej Lemanis again praised the depth of his roster, saying he thought the bench brigade were responsible for changing the course of the game.
"[After the first quarter] it had been pretty much the same as what we had seen from [Perth] before,'' he said. "That's where we started subbing, and I thought that group did a fantastic job of starting to turn the tide.''
The Breakers' hot shooting of recent weeks continued as five players hit double figures, led by MVP-in-waiting Cedric Jackson with 22. CJ Bruton, meanwhile, became the Breakers' second leading all-time scorer, surpassing Aaron Olson's 1800 points to trail only Kirk Penney (2517).
New Zealand also won the rebounding battle, a key to Perth's two previous triumphs this season in which they accrued a 77-47 advantage.
"It was the first time in a long time we won the boards [against Perth],'' Lemanis said.
"When you play Perth that's an area of focus. After that first quarter, we did a much better job of that.''
That first quarter began in a similar vein to the Breakers' double-overtime victory at Vector Arena in game one of last year's grand finals series, with Perth bursting out to an early lead before the home side hit back.
The Breakers were guilty of forcing things offensively and slumped 14-2 behind, but the good vibes generated by an on-court marriage proposal at quarter-time appeared to rub off and the home side emerged from the break with a vengeance.
Back-to-back triples from Daryl Corletto gave his side their first lead, before the Breakers embarked on a 21-5 run to close the quarter. That surge was capped by a three just before the buzzer from Jackson, leaving the point guard leading all scorers with 16.
The Breakers' buffer was soon at 16 points as Bruton scored six in 30 seconds, courtesy of a Jackson steal sandwiched by back-to-back threes.
And things soon got better for the Breakers with former favourite Shawn Redhage being forced to take a seat after entering foul trouble _ much to the mirth of the crowd.
With the Breakers taking a 20-point lead into the final break and only a catastrophic collapse standing between them and a win, the home side headed into the final period with revenge on their minds.
That was evident early in the fourth, when Mika Vukona and Corletto got in Kevin Lisch's face after the former drove to the hoop, and it continued throughout the fourth.
The only disappointment for the Breakers was being unable to crack the ton _ but they were more than content with the dominating performance against their old rivals.
Breakers 98 (Jackson 22, Bruton 14, Webster 14)
Perth 81 (Knight 16, Wagstaff 14, Redhage 12)

Speakinf Event: Clean Communities
Alex Mehran, CEO, Sunset Development
Carl Shannon, Managing Director, Tishman Speyer
Gabriel Metcalf, Executive Director, San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Assocation
With Bay Area population forecast to increase to 8 or 9 million people, the region is grappling with where current and future residents will live and work. In San Francisco population density is rising in the trendy South of Market and Mission Bay areas, where housing is close to social media and other jobs. Commercial and residential real estate is thriving, including many new green buildings. But most of the region's 6 million residents don't live or work in an urban core. Infill and suburban development will both be needed to accommodate more people. The fact that buildings account for approximately 40 percent of greenhouse gas emissions means future growth will have to be more efficient and smarter to meet state mandated goals for reducing carbon pollution. Are taller skyscrapers part of the answer? Can office parks really be green? A conversation about building the future of the Bay Area.

*This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro* Hi I am using stata to do a frontier anlaysis I wonder if you can healp solve this simple question and if not refer me to someone else? , I have my dependent Variable fo example Life expetancy vs.Independent variable Public health expenditure , this data is by state for Mexico So I do in Stata Frontier Life_exp Pubhealthexp My question is how do I specify using this Stata command for a control variable for example percentage of rural population? I assume that states that have more rural population have less life expectancy. What I want to run is a model where Life expectancy is explained by Public health expenditure by state but states that have more rural population should be treated less hard than those with lower rural population. I used the following comand frontier global pub_perc, uhet( lnpor_rural) But it seems the effect I get is in the opposite direction I want. WHen Life expectancy and public health expenditure is the same for 2 states, the state that has a higher rural population is penalized more than the one that has less rural population. If I do a simple regression between Life expectancy and rural population, the higher the rural population the lower the life expectancy.

|Plumbing Facilities By Occupants Per Room
|Universe: Universe: Occupied housing units
Relevant Documentation:
|Excerpt from:
|Social Explorer; U.S. Census Bureau; American Community Survey 2006-2008 Summary File: Technical Documentation.
|ACS 2008-3yr Summary File: Technical Documentation -> Appendix B: Subject Definitions -> Housing Variables -> Plumbing Facilities
The data on plumbing facilities were obtained from Housing Question 8 a, b, and c in the 2008 American Community Survey. The question was asked at both occupied and vacant housing units. Complete plumbing facilities include: (a) hot and cold running water, (b) a flush toilet, and (c) a bathtub or shower. All three facilities must be located inside the house, apartment, or mobile home, but not necessarily in the same room. Housing units are classified as lacking complete plumbing facilities when any of the three facilities is not present.
Question/Concept History
The 1996-2007 American Community Survey questions were stand-alone questions that asked the respondent to answer either "Yes, has all three facilities" or "No" to the question of whether the housing unit had complete plumbing facilities, requiring that the facilities all be in the same unit. Starting in 2008, the structure of the question changed and combined plumbing facilities with kitchen facilities and telephone service availability into one question to ask, "Does this house, apartment, or mobile home have -" and provided the respondent with a "Yes" or "No" checkbox for each component needed for complete facilities. An additional change introduced in 2008 included changing the description of the component "hot and cold piped water" to "hot and cold running water."

|Social Explorer; U.S. Census Bureau; American Community Survey 2006-2008 Summary File: Technical Documentation.
|ACS 2008-3yr Summary File: Technical Documentation -> Appendix B: Subject Definitions -> Housing Variables -> Occupants per Room
Occupants per room is obtained by dividing the number of people in each occupied housing unit by the number of rooms in the unit. The figures show the number of occupied housing units having the specified ratio of people per room. Although the Census Bureau has no official definition of crowded units, many users consider units with more than one occupant per room to be crowded. "Occupants per room" is rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Pawn shop owner shuts doors over the state's gun control bills
FOUNTAIN, Colo. - Colorado's new gun law forced one business owner to make a big decision Tuesday.
The owner of Fountain's Great American Pawn said he would close his doors July 1 in light of the new gun control bills recently signed into law.
Gun sales make up a majority of shop owner Thomas Gautreaux's bottom line. He will close his shop the same day the new bill limiting magazine sizes does into effect.
Gautreaux has kept a close eye on the state's new gun laws. One by one, he's cleared guns from his store shelves. He's sold almost all his guns. The majority of his remaining inventory is collectible firearms.
He took over Great American Pawn at 404 N. Santa Fe Ave. in Fountain four years ago. He said if he kept his doors open, he would be hit hard by the new law limiting magazine sizes.
"This magazine, after July 1, I won't be able to sell anymore," said Gautreaux. "If someone came in with a pawn with a 15-round magazine, I couldn't pawn it because I couldn't give it back to him and couldn't sell it to anybody after July 1."
Gautreaux said a majority of his sales are assault rifles and firearms with magazines over 15 rounds. He worries about the future for people who making a living selling firearms.
"It would maybe he feasible right now but more gun laws are coming. They got away with this so they're pushing further to see what they can get away with," said Gautreaux.
He said almost all of this customers are unhappy with recent gun legislation.
"[It's] not just people in Boulder and Denver that run the state," said Gautreaux. "There are a lot of rural people that like their guns."
Gautreaux retired from the Army several years ago. He bought the pawn shop and started over. He said if he started over once, he can do it again.
Gov. John Hickenlooper signed two other bills in March in addition to the magazine limits. One requires universal background checks. The other one charges gun buyers $10 for background checks.
Gautreaux said even if future legislatures repeal the new gun laws, he won't reopen his shop.

I missed one weekend apiary inspection on about 12 hives. Must have been an explosion in population that week, plus we're in a flow! More than half the hives are bearding.
I've been popping empty supers right above the brood chambers in hopes that will be instantly available for honey/brood storage- but they continue to beard.
I don't want any more swarms- anything else I can do?

Home>Exhibitions>Selected Past Exhibitions>2004>Luis Meléndez - Still Lifes.
Supported by CAF, Ferrovial, Iberia, España Accion Cultural Exterior
An exhibition of 40 paintings by Luis Meléndez (1716-1780), one of the greatest Spanish still-life painters of the eighteenth century was organised in collaboration with the Prado Museum in Madrid. It featured 20 paintings from the Prado with the remainder drawn from other public and private collections around the world.
Each still-life painting by Meléndez is visually arresting and compelling and reveals a wonderful technical skill at constructing compositions. Among the works on display were Still life with Oranges, Walnuts and Boxes of Sweetmeats (National Gallery, London); Still life with a Plate of Plums, Pears and Fruit Basket (Masaveu Collection, Museo de Bellas Artes, Asturias); Still life with Red Breams and Oranges (Private Collection); Still life with Pomegranates, Apples and Grapes (Prado Museum, Madrid).
In the accompanying exhibition catalogue, Dr. Peter Cherry (Trinity College Dublin), who selected the works for the show with Dr. Juan Luna (Prado, Madrid), said that all his life, Meléndez wanted to be appointed an artist to the Spanish Court. His repeated efforts, however, only ended in failure. But his loss was our gain. "The large body of work that Melendez left, currently standing at well over one hundred still lifes, is testimony to his unique achievement as a Spanish artist of the eighteenth century, that places him alongside the greatest still life painters of Europe", says Dr. Cherry.

What if I am forced to use WEP?
I think Nintendo needs more security consultants...
Should I use HEX or ASCII when creating a key?
When entering a key, you have the choice of entering Hexadecimal or ASCII characters. Hexadecimal (HEX) is the easiest to use. You can either create a 10-digit (64-bit) or 26-digit (128-bit) key. We recommend the 10-digit. Consider using an easy-to-remember number.
So since WPA (supported on the DSi) and WPA2 are not possible, what can I do in order to have a "secure" connection to my wireless router?
I have thought about many different things, like MAC address filtering and stuff like that, but nothing that can't be hacked in less than 10 minutes... :-\
Other than only plugin my wireless router when she needs it and change the password every single time she uses it (which is quite anoying...), I can't think of anything else...
Any ideas?
