The Pre-Romanesque art of Asturias: art and architecture ahead of its time
Santa María del Naranco, Oviedo
- Autonom region:
- Asturias
The Kingdom of Asturias, from the 8th to the 10th centuries caught between the Cantabrian Sea to the North and Arab domination to the South, was able to assert itself by building a series of churches that brought together Romanesque, Carolingian, Byzantine and Mozarab influences--an architecture well ahead of its time.
A look at the principle buildings of the time allows us to become familiar with a few of Asturias's most beautiful areas, from its capital Oviedo to its most hidden valleys. In 1985, UNESCO recognized the value of Asturias's Pre-Romanesque art when they declared it a World Heritage Site.
Among Oviedo's cathedral buildings is the so-called Cámara Santa or Holy Chamber, a 9th c. construction that was originally part of the Palace of Alfonso II "the Chaste" (792-842). The Cámara Santa is made up of a crypt and upper chapel, and was refurbished in the 11th century.
Of the Church of San Tirso el Real, also located in Oviedo and built under the reign of Alfonso II, only the upper part of the central apse remains, with a three-arch bay between columns finished in semicircular arches, capitals and late Romanesque style bases framed by an alfiz. A little further on we find the Fountain of La Foncalada, which dates from the reign of Alfonso III "the Great" (866-910), and the Church of San Julián de los Prados, also built during the reign of Alfonso II and the largest Pre-Romanesque church in Spain, with clear Romanesque influences in its design as well as its interior decoration of frescos.
On the outskirts of Oviedo, set upon one side of the Naranca mountain and overlooking the capital city are the churches of Santa María del Naranco and San Miguel de Lillo, the first to use a barrel vaulted roof in the nave. Santa María del Naranco was originally built as a summer palace for Ramiro I, and was later converted into a church. It has a rectangular floor plan with two heights, and its most noteworthy features include its perfectly aligned vaults and cable molded columns with capitals, as well as the great buttresses supporting the walls.
As for San Miguel de Lillo, only a third of the church's original structure remains, with its capitals and lattices of note, as well as its jambs with Romanesque-inspired circus scenes—a truly unusual feature for religious architecture of the period.
On the road to Galicia we find the late 9th century Church of Santo Adriano de Tuñón. It has three naves with apses and a double-sloped wooden roof. The interior mural paintings are also worth mentioning. In Pravia we find the basilica of San Juan de Santianes, which dates from the period of King Silo (774-783), making it the oldest Pre-Romanesque construction in Asturias. It has three naves separated by pillars, a square front with two lateral sacristies and a narthex at its base.
The Church of San Salvador de Valdediós, affectionately called "el Conventín" or "little convent" by Asturians, is quite possibly the most highly finished work of the period of Alfonso III "the Great". It was opened to the public in 891. Its originality lies in the addtion of Mozarab influences to earlier archtiectural styles, which are most notable in its horseshoe arches. The interior mural paintings are also very interesting.
In the town of Lena, in the midst of a breathtaking landscape of valleys and mountains, we find the Church of Santa Cristina, one of the greatest creations to come out of the period of Ramiro I. The temple's most notable feature is the iconostasis, a stone wall painstakingly carved with arches and lattice that, in line with Byzantine tradition, separates the worshippers from the sanctuary. To gaze on this church, humble yet glorious, lost in the verdure of the landscape, we cannot help but feel at peace and reflect. We cannot help but think of the particular rise of the Asturian dynasty in the 8th century, which coincided with the powerful advance of Islam on the Iberian Peninsula, and of the dream of King Alfonso II, who believed in the possibility of one day recovering Toledo, capital of the Visigoth Kingdom.

Why I Hate Birth Plans
Recently on a physicians' forum I came across a tragic story about a home birth gone bad. The doctors on the forum were mercilessly critical of the individuals involved, but I couldn't disagree with them. Their tone may have crossed the line from anger over the tragedy into disrespect or even cruelty, but I can't say I blame them entirely - there's a part of every conscientious physician that does get enraged over what's perceived to be preventable catastrophe, and sometimes venting the outrage in private (which this forum was supposed to be), among others who understand, can release some of the tension raised by the story.

Hm. Well, I totally agree that this kind of rigid mentality that some women have is not necessary, and leads to a lot of unhealthy postpartum guilt for some moms. Having said that though, I know a lot of women who approach their prenatal care/delivery with apprehension due to either bad past experiences or the horror stories of their friends. I think it may be a bit of a blanket statement to say that these women are "uninformed". They may not be physicians, but that doesn't mean they don't know anything about giving birth. I think we can all agree that the C-Section rate in some hospitals in the US is a bit high to say the least and there is a backlash among some women who don't like the direction they see OB care going in with regard to "unnecessary" intervention. Everyone knows that there are plenty of times when a C-Section or other medical intervention is necessary for the pregnant or laboring mom or baby. But there is also evidence to suggest that less intervention can yield just as many positive outcomes in low-risk patients. I am not a proponent of home birth--too many risks, but I think there is some merit to giving women a bit more freedom to labor/deliver in the way that they feel most comfortable instead of what's easiest/quickest for the physician/hospital. I think the biggest key is that these patients need to have an open line of communication with their OB so that everyone can be on the same page and be respected--both patients and physicians.
I firmly believe that there should be more resources available to both patients and physicians in regard to approaching a l/d with an openness toward natural birth. We need to find a way to bridge the gap between the extreme natural birth advocates (Like those who are for unassisted home births) and the members of the medical community.
Also, I have NEVER met a doula who would yell at a physician. Unbelievable. Just goes to show you that there are unprofessional people in ALL professions.

APPLAUSE APPLAUSE APPLAUSE. Somewhere in the past 50 years we've gone tragically wrong and lost sight of the desired outcome= a healthy baby and a healthy mom. I don't know what happened that made women start to think it was all about them.

I completely object to the phrase / idea / suggestion of "unnecessary" intervention. I have personally never seen it. If we go to C-section, it's because the baby DOES NOT LOOK GOOD. PERIOD. We intervene because we truly feel that if we don't, SOMETHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN. That's our JOB, by definition.
- June 12, 2011 at 12:13 PM
Well, I think people often react to recent history, even when many practices have changed in the present. It may be uninformed, but it's the natural human response in all areas. I just read a great book, "Birth," by Tina Cassidy that outlines how birth was made deadly when it was taken over by ignorant doctors (mostly men) from midwives. Granted much of this piece is historical, but the affects stayed with the l/d world to the present, as she describes. I think things have gotten a lot better. Many women who re-pioneered home birth in the 1970s are against it now because women are no longer essentially bound and drugged through their delivery ... instead, women are given a reasonable amount of autonomy in hospitals, as well as a greater degree of safety in most cases. This is all good. I just can't blame women for reacting to trends that have only very recently turned positive. It's unfortunate when that is unleashed on well meaning individual doctors who were probably not even practicing even through more recent dark moments in child birth history - but again, that makes sense to me, at least, in historical context.

I like aviation analogies when patient safety is being discussed.
I see a "birth plan" as similar to a "flight plan." You might take off "planning" to fly directly to West Palm Beach, but you might change your "plan" out of respect for that towering thunderstorm between you and your "planned" airport.
I see epidural and similar invasive analgesic interventions as similar to a parachute. There's a difference between safely parting company with an airplane that isn't behaving as you "planned" and skydiving.
An aside about "natural" childbirth. I crusty old OB RN once consoled a patient who was beating herself up about not having her baby as "planned," but with a detour to OR for fetal bradycardia. "Sure, you had a 'natural' childbirth. That is a baby in the bassinet, isn't it? If it were a litter of puppies, we'd have to talk. But a baby is 'natural'." Even the new parents had to laugh...

Are you really saying that you've NEVER seen a laboring woman being given pitocin when she didn't HAVE to have it (As was the case with my labor--I was dilating at a very good rate, and they still gave me pitocin, so much in fact that my contractions started to put a strain on my son)? Or women being induced because it was more convenient for them to pick when they would go into labor? I have a close friend who wanted to attempt a VBAC and was STRONGLY discouraged from even attempting it even though there wasn't anything in her medical history that would suggest she couldn't at least attempt it under hospital supervision. She was basically told by her OB she had to have a C-Section or find a new doctor. I understand that physicians are under a tremendous amount of pressure and are bound by both hospital regulations and their own fears of malpractice lawsuits. But in my humble opinion there is something fundamentally wrong with the direction we are headed when there are hospitals with 40% C-Section rates.
In all honesty, If you work in a hospital where this never happens, I would surely like to know where it is so I can deliver my future children there! Sounds wonderful!
- June 13, 2011 at 1:08 PM
- T. said...
I was mainly talking about C-section - we do not cut people open for FUN but rather to save a child who is not thriving.
As for VBACs - I agree wholeheartedly with STRONGLY discouraging anyone who wants one. "Hospital supervision" isn't enough. Does the hospital have a well-stocked blood bank? 24-hour surgical and anesthesia coverage? Technological resources to deal with disasters? There isn't an "ideal candidate" for a VBAC because there's no reliable way to predict whether someone's uterus is going to rupture or not. Is it really work the risk to mother and child just for the sake of a "birth experience?" Not in my book.

@Jim--I LOVE that analogy :)
I'm quite sure a C-Section is never done for "fun" and I'm certainly sorry if I gave the impression that I think that is the case. I really do believe you personally want the best, safest outcome for your patients and their babies. It's also true though that there are OB/GYN's out there who are quick to jump to a diagnosis of "failure to progress" without giving a second thought to it. I've seen it happen--it's not uncommon. I once heard an OB casually comment about a patient: "Pit em, rip em (episiotomy), and stitch em" This kind of disgusting one-size-fits-all mentality simply should not be applied to a laboring woman. There ARE times when medical intervention is necessary, but as I said before, patients and doctors need to have a healthy amount of respect for each other in order for a birth to be a success on both ends. If a doctor comes into a delivery with a "my way or the highway" mentality what good does that do the patient in the end (I'm talking about things like positions to push in, whether they want pitocin or not, etc--NOT true emergency situations)? They walk away feeling like they weren't listened to and may end up having such depression about it that it has longer lasting ill effects (Which can and has lead to decreased ability for mom and baby to bond well in the beginning). A lot of OB's simply want one outcome--patient and baby end up healthy. But why can't the desired outcome be patient and baby healthy and handled RESPECTFULLY?
Bottom line is this--a patient needs to understand that a birth plan is a good way to communicate your IDEAL of how you would like your labor/delivery to be handled. But be expecting that almost nothing in life goes exactly as planned and have some flexibility and trust that you've made the right choice in your doctor and that they will truly have your (and baby's) best interests at heart. A physician needs to understand that a woman who has her heart set on a natural labor and delivery should have this desire followed so long as it does not put her or baby in danger. I really don't see how that's too much to ask.

Also, in my friend's case, the answer is yes. She would have delivered at the largest hospital in our town, which is a learning hospital for the nearby medical school.

I've not seen obstetricians at my hospital ever handle patients disrespectfully or fail to engage in true dialogue with patients and their families. It's probably the best obstetric group I've worked with so far. I've only seen the opposite - patients and family members yelling at and completely disrespecting nurses and physicians. How about the latter actually LISTENING to OUR concerns - is THAT so much to ask, given that safety should be EVERYONE's top priority?
- June 13, 2011 at 7:25 PM
- T. said...
P.S. Not only are our obstetric doctors great but also our labor and delivery nurses. They are on the whole OUTSTANDING and I would have no qualms about delivering at my own hospital if I ever had occasion to. In general women can labor as they wish, try out different positions, have family present, etc. but the clinicians also strictly uphold national guidelines for the health and safety of mothers and their babies. Patient care trumps all whether patients can appreciate that or not.

That's awesome that you work in such an environment! I wish every L/D dept in every hospital was that way :) And you're right, as I said earlier, the ultimate goal should be respect BOTH ways!

If only for the comments on this post is this entry worth reading. As a RN many doctors are very disrespectful of patient preferences and this is not exclusive to l/d. If we are to truly acheive pt. centered care, the patient needs to be LISTENED TO and feel HEARD. I love the "Flight Plan" analogy. My midwife made a "card hand" analogy for me. Sometimes you need to give up one card to keep the other cards in your hand. (i.e. for me, going in for induction after my water broke and not waiting around for active labor to start. She gave me more than 24 hours to wait and see, but informed me if I were to become febrile I would need to trade in more of my cards. This made perfect sense to me and I went in for my "mini - induction". I was still able to have a "natural water birth" with out analgesia. But it took communicating with my midwife and the hospital staff regarding out pitocin plan. I only required 15cc of pit in order to establish an active labor pattern, then we backed off the pit, and I had the baby in less than an hour in the water as originally planned. It wasn't the normal "pitocin protocol" but it worked and in the end required much less intervention (i.e. epidurals, or analgesia and the cascade of side effects.) Being a well informed consumer of medical care is crucial too. p.s. if I was unable to get into an active labor pattern I was NOT against going up on the pit, but I didn't want the pit ramped up just because that is what they are "supposed to do". there are SO many nursing protocols that are void of any critical thinking it is VERY SAD! We aren't allowed to think anymore.

About the card-holding metaphor: I think it's awful. For one thing, it presupposes adversarial rather than collaborative negotiation, and it's the patient setting the adversarial tone. Why be adversarial at all, and turn patient care into some kind of game? Silly.
For another thing, the metaphor conjures up a very negative image of a patient who is HIDING things from those who need as much information as possible to provide the best care possible. It's an undignified image, in fact: a woman withholding helpful things and failing to be completely HONEST, whether the "cards" represent information or decisions.
Intentionally incomplete communication - i.e., dishonesty - is self-defeating and sets oneself up for dissatisfying or unsafe care. How irresponsible. Moreover, there's only one person who should be "holding cards" in any delivery: the BABY.
- June 21, 2011 at 9:37 AM
@Meighan T: As far as physicians quick to jump to the conclusion that the patient is failing to progress, have you considered that that is because so much can go wrong so quickly?
Quite honestly, any physician willing to do a VBAC would be considered by most irresponsible because, exactly as T. said, despite NUMEROUS studies and meta-analyses across time, there is now way to predict which patients will and won't rupture, AND the consequences to the mother of rupture are catastrophic and likely FATAL. In this country, the standards of care are determined research, and we practice evidence-based medicine... Just because SOME studies show that positive outcomes CAN come from waiting longer instead of performing a C-section, it by NO means means that a MAJORITY of research shows that same trend. Your statement was synonymous with someone saying that one anecdote should be considered as the general trend. Our government spends ludicrous amounts of money studying things just as this, and even more money paying organizations to collectively compare numerous studies on single subjects, comparing and contrasting studies, and determining if each study is even powerful enough to have even been significant enough to be considered as a single data point on the trend.
Furthermore, what do you think will happen to the doctor of a woman who allows a VBAC and it goes wrong? He/she will most likely be sued, or the attempt will at least be made. Saying that physicians should do what patients tell them despite risks to the patient would be the same as complaining that a bus driver refused to go 100mph around a sharp curve despite a passenger wanting to do it, or complaining that your hair stylist refuses to cut your hair with a chainsaw. The beauty of our healthcare system is that people can CHOOSE their doctor. If they aren't happy with the standards that the doctor follows, instead of demanding that they get what they want from one particular doctor, they can simply do some research and find one who will do what they want before deciding who to pay. You don't own your doctor. They aren't obligated to do whatever you want them to do. They went to college for eight years, then to residency for multiple years afterward, and are still required to continue their education afterward, not to mention the years of experience they've had in caring for patients. If you think that an hour long internet search gives you more education than all of that, feel free to do your appendectomy in your bathtub at home.

As my dear daughter, who gave birth 4 dyas ago ovserves, "this is such a first world issue." When ssked at the hospital about her "birth plan" her answer was "just get me and the baby home health and at approximately the same time." People don't understand that while birth is anatural process it used to (in this country) and still (in many parts of the world) has real potential to kill you dead.

Awesome article! Physicians should understand that a woman has her heart set on a natural birth should be the desire to follow until the mass or the child at risk. I really do not understand how it is asking too much.
- July 8, 2011 at 6:00 AM
I had the scary-ass-pregnancy-from-hell, with no known risk factors for it going in. Kiddo wasn't expected to make it, 4 months bed rest miserable with pre-e and a list of other acronyms. Told at 24 weeks "you really shouldn't try this again..". Fast forward to csection at 35 (yep that's right- go me!) weeks. Csection done in main OR with NICU team there because neither one of us was expected to do well and that way we both had ICU teams waiting for us.
I was actually asked about my birth plan Seriously? "get outta here alive with a healthy baby." There were some bumps on the way (failed epidural, baby too stressed to stop surgery- ow ow ow ow ow) but I was up walking, carrying my peanut-sized bundle, 3 hours later. She just finished kindergarten, with talk of skipping at least 1 grade in the fall.
Maybe people need to be encouraged to just have a birth "guideline.". Express a couple preferences that are important to them, with education that the end result is more important than the process.
- July 8, 2011 at 11:41 AM
I couldnt disagree more, giving birth is as natural as digesting food. Some people have stomach viruses and need a shot of steroids to jump start the natural process, and thats great that we have the people and resources to provide that. If a mother dosnt want something done to her child, there should never be a resistance by the medical staff, who is paid by the patient. If i pay for a service, i expect that provider the adhere to my wants, what ever they are, however odd they might sound, so long as they are within reason.

There are so many things wrong with the above statement I don't even know where to start, but the most important point I want to address is you are a PATIENT, NOT a CUSTOMER. I don't have to do what you want if I consider it UNSAFE for you and your child. If you want someone to provide what you want no matter what, go to some quack who doesn't care one bit about your health and safety - a good doctor is going to adhere to high standards of care regardless of public/patient opinion. You don't pay me; my anesthesia group pays me, and they pay me to do the RIGHT THING for patients whose well-being I care deeply about.
- August 8, 2011 at 6:49 PM
I can't love this enough. As a reformed victim of the cult of woo, I really appreciate that you use your experience to relieve some of the burdens natural child birthers think they carry. Birth is out of your control, you don't own your birth, and it's impossible to become truly educated in the matter by your EDD. While I think it's great to have a list to share with your care provider of things that you are comfortable with vs things that you have some anxiety about, I think birth plans set up an ideological experience that is not going to play out the way you want and can contribute greatly to PPD.

And to the commenter stating " there are SO many nursing protocols that are void of any critical thinking it is VERY SAD! We aren't allowed to think anymore."... I'm concerned about where/how you received your education. Critical thinking was emphasized at the very beginning of my nursing career, and every day protocols are reinforced, improved, and new ones created - all due to critical thinking and evidence-based practices.
- August 21, 2011 at 5:57 PM
As someone trying for my first and, like an anonymous commenter above, a reformed victim of the cult of woo - bravo.
After hearing my friends talk constantly about how they failed or were too weak or felt manipulated by 'unfeeling' doctors, I can't understand how they could just totally miss the point. They had a baby. Isn't that what they got pregnant for?
Honestly, the "birth experience" brigade creep me out. Giving birth is meant to be incredible because you get to meet your baby for the first time. If people are seeking instant self-esteem, empowerment, sense of identity or an orgasm.. why did they get pregnant in the first place? The uber-crunchy brigade's hysterical war-cries about the immeasurable benefits of things like breastfeeding seems pretty insignificant when you consider the incredible risks they are willing to inflict on their babies in the pursuit of their 'perfect birth'. Someone needs to shake them and say for once and all "IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU".
I have some ideas about what I'd like my (eventual birth) to be like, but I can also admit that I've never had *that birth* before, and the reality of that birth could be radically different for anything I hoped/planned for, no matter how much googling I've done. This is true for every woman, whether she has never had a baby or has had 17. Things can change so quickly and problems you never imagined can arise in an instant - would you trust yourself, panicking and hurting, or the people who had actually trained for and experienced every possible scenario?

I want to thank you for voicing what I have thought for a while now. I am a physician and a mother and the most important thing for me was that I delivered a healthy baby. I didn't care if that meant an induction, fetal scalp monitor, AROM, C-section, whatever, I just wanted my baby to be safe. When I was a resident, I was called to the delivery of an emergency C-section for an all-natural home delivery that had gone wrong.
We worked on that baby for so long, I had burns on my forearms from performing chest compressions under the warmer. She did not make it and I will never forget her. Women today have lost sight of the fact that the point is not to have some wonderful transcending birthing experience but to deliver a healthy baby safely.
A "medical" birth is not a sign of failure. I ended up being induced and I had an epidural and I think my delivery was wonderful because my baby and I both made it.

I just came across this blog and was impressed with this post. I am a pre-medical student who is very interested in OB/GYN and my wife and I just had a baby 3 month ago. I have found that there is a lot of contention around birth and the different approaches. I have seen women on both sides of the spectrum from natural at home birthing to medicated and sectioned being criticized about the choices they made. I feel like we should all be understanding of the process and celebrate new life no matter the way it happens. Anyways, great blog!

It's a Disney vacation of a different variety. The dissimilarities are a bit obvious. You're on a ship in the ocean, visiting foreign places.

text: Ds2's just had his birthday party yesterday at a kids gym. Most of the kids were from my mom's group but there were also 3 boys from his preschool class and 2 boys that are family friends. It was a big party (I did not expect that everyone invited would actually come). It worked out fine and everyone had fun. EXCEPT that one of the boys was coughing initially. Our family friend couple just recovered from the flu and the mom was very apprehensive about the coughing boy, S. I went to S's mom and she said S was sick some time ago but now fine and had the residual post nasal cough. His cough eventually went away which makes me think that she was right. Plus I have known her for several years and believe she won't purposefully come with S being sick. However, my friend kept making comments to me at the party. (The party was 10 a.m.-12 p.m.) In the afternoon, she texted me asking whether S was on antibiotics and what he had. I did not know the diagnosis and just repeated what the mom told me and also said he did not cough the entire time. This morning my friend texted me that her younger son is sick perhaps from S. Her son woke up congested with fever. I responded that he fell sick some 16 hours after playing with S, so maybe S was not at fault. My friend said how sad she was and how sick her child was. I could not help but texted back that CDC, WHO and other sites say that incubation period was at least 24 hours and that I am sorry but could not ask S and his mom to leave. My friend agreed that her son might have gotten sick somewhere else. But that got me thinking. Would you as a host ask a guest to leave if they appear sick? How about if you trust the mom? Do you feel like it is appropriate to expect that a host "police" her parties for sickness? If you attend a party where a kid appears sick would you leave or stay? I feel this is such a murky gray area. I am not sure what I was supposed to do. I feel like my friend was the only one making it a problem and the kid stopped coughing at some point which makes me think that he coughed out the mucus. I cannot be sure, of course.

Your story touched my heart and made me cry. What a wonderful gentle giant Rocco was and how wonderful of you to open up your home to him even though his time with you was short. I am inspired to contribute to canine cancer awareness and to support funding for research on this horrible disease.

I know the heartache you went through. I lost my baby fur boy Jake to Canine Lymphoma in 2009. I got Jake, who was a Beagle as a puppy. He saw me through a bad marriage and was my constant companion. I divorced and moved home with my parents in 2005. Jake wiggled his way into their hearts to. We found out in December 0f 2008 on my birthday Jake had Cancer. I could not afford the treatments for him, so the the vet put him on Prednisone and gave him six months. The baby boy turned 9 years-old on April 4 2009 and I lost him April 8 2009. I was devastated and felt like a part of me died to. I swore I would never love another dog. Well just two weeks ago my boyfriend convinced me to adopt a rescue dog. We now have a 2 year-old female Beagle named Muriel. She is the light of my life and I would not let her go for anything. I love my Jake and will never forget him, but I have found enough love in my heart to love another very special Beagle baby.

I'd never considered combining potatoes and parsnips before, except in a mash. Great idea, this! From famed Chef Charlie Palmer.
•2 tablespoons olive oil
•4 medium garlic cloves, minced
•1 cup heavy cream
•1 tablespoon kosher salt
•Freshly ground black pepper
•Freshly ground nutmeg
•1 pound parsnips
•1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes
•4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick), cut into small pieces, plus more for coating the baking dish
•1 cup shredded Emmentaler cheese (about 2 to 3 ounces)
•1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
Heat the oven to 425°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Lightly coat a 2-1/2-quart baking dish with butter and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until shimmering, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned, about 2 minutes. Add the cream and salt, season with pepper and a pinch of nutmeg, stir to combine, and cook until the cream is simmering but not boiling; remove from the heat and set aside.
Peel, trim, and slice the parsnips crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick rounds. Place in a large mixing bowl. Peel the potatoes, slice crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick rounds, and add to the bowl. Toss the potatoes and parsnips until evenly combined and set aside.
Evenly layer half of the potato-parsnip mixture in the prepared dish. Dot with half of the butter and sprinkle with half of the cheese. Evenly layer the remaining half of the potato-parsnip mixture in the dish and pour the warm cream mixture evenly over the top. Dot with the remaining butter and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Cover the dish with foil and bake until the potatoes and parsnips are tender when pierced with a fork, about 35 to 40 minutes.
Remove the foil and sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the gratin, pressing them down lightly with the back of a spatula (this helps them absorb some of the moisture and keeps them from browning too fast). Return the gratin to the oven uncovered and bake until the top is golden brown, about 10 minutes more. Let rest at least 5 minutes before serving.

BARCELONA (Reuters) - Time Warner Cable
"We are a few weeks into the quarter and we are a little bit ahead of where we were last year," Irene Esteves told a Morgan Stanley investor conference on Thursday.
"But I would caution that it is very early in the quarter and we are talking about very small numbers of net subscribers on a very large base."
Esteves also noted that in the fourth quarter last year, the group enjoyed a strong increase in net additions in December.
"So I would caution about extrapolating from a few weeks of data," she said of the firm, which is the second largest U.S. cable operator. (Reporting by Kate Holton; Editing by Dan Lalor)

It's a bit selective as it requires a good amount of proficiency at a game to be able to write a guide, but it's definitely something the Shacknews team can look into producing for new games moving forward... if we happen to be skilled at them.

Live Project Natal Demos and Lionhead's Virtual ChildBy Alice O'Connor, Jun 05, 2009 11:56am PDT Microsoft has released footage of the live demonstration of its Xbox 360 motion-sensitive camera controller codenamed Project Natal, introduced this week at E3.
Microsoft has also shared the demonstration of Lionhead Studios' eerie/wonderful/bizarre virtual boy named Milo, here for you introduced by Peter Molyneux.
There's also a gussied up marketing "product vision" which warns "actual features and functionality may vary," if you like that worthless sort of thing.

By: REDFROG x Show Full PostThat 'game' with the kid Milo is so damn useless.
I can imagine that only depressed wifes would be playing it, those who lost their loved at an car accident or something. (not a funny thing)
I mean...it goes too far with the virtuality.
There is life, and there are games. But this is one of the games that try to give the people a second life, or a child that they dont have, perhaps a life that they want to spend more time with.
And they may be losing the sense of what is real and not real for a few seconds every now and then. Or they start to act like they would in the game, which isn't always the right way.
I'm very sceptical on games such as Sims or Second Life. They add to the disappointments in real life so the players will only dig more and more into their virtual reality.

Sheets on Sweden PUBLISHED BY THE SWEDISH INSTITUTE The Cooperative Movement in Sweden # c^INstj, &3 I SI %,SH\^ Printed in Sweden, October 1983 Classification: FS 43 k Om The cooperative movement is well-represented throughout Sweden and thus enjoys a strong position. It was also one of the factors contributing to Sweden's evolution from an agrarian nation into a highly industrialized and prosperous country. Industry, agriculture, retailing, residential construction and housing administration are among the sectors in which cooperatives have played a major part and continue to do so. Cooperative activities may assume two forms: producer and consumer cooperatives. Cooperative enterprises The term "cooperative" usually refers to an economic enterprise operated on the basis of joint action and self-help. A cooperative is a type of company organized by and for groups of people who—by means of their own work—wish to satisfy their direct interests, for instance in their role as customers, suppliers, residents or employees. A cooperative enterprise should have a direct connection with the needs and economic interests of its members. During their emergence, cooperative enterprises have developed a number of cooperative principles (rules of conduct): • Open membership; no one may be excluded. • Independence from political parties and religious denominations. • Democratic administration—one member, one vote. • Limited return on investments; patronage refunds in proportion to purchases made; a cooperative society is an association of people, not of capital. • Capital formation for development and economic independence. • Informational activities. • Cooperative teamwork. In the various branches of the Swedish cooperative movement, these fundamental principles have been interpreted and phrased in somewhat different ways depending on the nature of the enterprise. Their main features nevertheless agree with the principles recommended by the International Cooperative Alliance, which was formed in 1895 and has about 1,700 cooperative organizations in 66 countries as members. Considering their aims and structure, cooperative enterprises are generally said to constitute an alternative to public and private enterprise. It is also common to refer to the "cooperative sector" as opposed to the "private sector" and the "public sector" of industry and commerce. Background The cooperative movement emerged in Europe in the 1880s, during the transition from an agrarian to an industrial economy. The leading country was England, where individual cooperative societies had arisen as early as the end of the 18th century. In all likelihood, there were also many forerunners of today's cooperatives in Sweden as early as the beginning of the 19th century and before that. But not until the 1850s is it possible to single out actual examples. In that decade, the first known cooperative company in Sweden was formed: the Lagunda and Hagunda district goods purchasing company. A few more cooperatives were formed during the 1850s, then a real wave of new cooperatives followed in the 1860s and 1870s. The reason for this wave was the Swedish Freedom of Commerce Decree (ndringsfrihetsforord- ningen) of 1864. At that time, a number of worker production associations also emerged along cooperative lines. Generally speaking, the cooperatives of the period were rather short-lived, among other things because they were seldom based on any broad popular support. There are examples to the contrary, however. One such example is the consumer association in Klos- ter, Dalarna province, which was founded in 1858 and remained in operation until 1966. Another is the western Swedish consumer cooperative known as the Trollhattan Workers' Association, established in 1867 and still active today. The early years The real breakthrough period for the cooperative movement came during the 1890s and the decades immediately following. By then, Sweden's industrial revolution had been underway for some time, creating a growing working class in the new urban areas. The cooperative movement found support among members of other emerging popular movements: the nonconformist ("free") church movement, the temperance movement, the farmers' movement and the political (i.e. Social Democratic) and trade union branches of the labor movement. Those who were active in these grass-roots organizations were often members of several popular movements at the same time. In many cases, the managements of cooperative associations included leading local representatives of the other new popular movements. Between 1896 and 1899 more than 200 new consumer cooperative associations came into being. In 1899 these associations formed a national organization called the Swedish Cooperative Union and Wholesale Society (Kooperativa fbrbundet, KF). A number of housing cooperatives were formed by workers in 1873 and the following years. Using savings and borrowed funds, these associations managed to begin constructing homes. But they soon ran into economic difficulties and were taken over by private construction companies, while members of the associations suffered sizable losses. Only in the early 1920s were new, viable housing cooperatives formed at the initiative of local tenants' organizations. The Tenants' Savings and Building Society (Hyresgdster-

TRAINING: A typical training day varies throughout the week, but mainly all my mornings are team practice at Alliance, and at night it's fight specific, like drills/pads/conditioning/etc. My mornings have a variation of wrestling/striking/grappling. Mon-Thurs are two a days and Fri/Sat are one workout per day. Sunday is my off day.
When and why did you start training for fighting? When I was younger, I loved doing martial arts, and then I started wrestling and competing and everything just fell together. It was definitely the right path for me.
What ranks and titles have you held? Master of Jury Jiu Jitsu. BJJ Black Belt under Professor Don Richards & Master Caique
