When a billionaire hedge-fund manager becomes the majority shareholder of a company, everybody listens when that individual speaks up and expresses their concerns regarding the direction of the firm.
Dan Loeb, the CEO of Third Point, may not know a lot about how the art-auctioning business works. But his track record indicates that he does know a thing or two about how a company should act to best represent the interest of its shareholders.
Now that Loeb controls 6.35 million shares Sotheby's and wants its chairman, William Ruprecht, to resign ASAP, the heat is on. He expressed his sentiments by sending a letter to the organization's management, reports Forbes.com.
In a nutshell, Loeb feels that Reprecht has lost his relevance and is out of touch with auction house's shareholders. He also believes that too much money is being wasted by Mr. Ruprecht on superfluous activities, such as lunches, country club memberships, chartered jets, and other activities that detract from instead of enhancing Sotheby's profitability.
….Loeb hit Ruprecht and his team where it hurts. Speaking of management's lack of alignment with shareholders, the hedge fund manager noted Third Point's stake represents nearly ten times the number of fully vested shares held by directors and executive officers.

Skip to comments.Trump Says Obama Will Start A War With Iran To Get Reelected
Posted on 11/30/2011 8:57:54 AM PST by Strategy
Donald Trump doesn't simply believe that President Barack Obama was not born in this country - he thinks Obama will start a war to win reelection.
Trump posted this ridiculous and baseless tweet a few minutes ago:
In order to get elected, @BarackObama will start a war with Iran.
(Excerpt) Read more at articles.businessinsider.com ...
I agree with Trump.
I don't think it's ridiculous and baseless, I think it's plausible.
I don't think it's ridiculous and baseless, I think it's plausible.
Memo to Zeke Miller:
Not ridiculous or baseless.
The Marxist is capable of doing anything to win reelection.
I dont think its plausible; I think its ridiculous and baseless.
Trump is a nut.
A couple weeks ago I saw him claim that we don't know if Pakistan has nukes.
The Marxist is capable of doing anything to win reelection.
Yep, you got that right. The problem is that we may be thinking to small when it comes to that "anything".
What is this so ridiculous? This is standard operating procedure. We started a war in Libya for no reason whatsoever and the people said WTF? - oh shoot there's a packers game on right now!
Well, loking at the choices for his opponent and the mess that the repub party is, I seriously doubt he feels threatened enough to think this is plausible.
I think even Obama is smart enough to know that starting another war would finish him.
Nah... Democrats will rattle a bunch of sabres and then next summer Iran will suddenly throw out some meaningless gesture and Obama will have another one of his big seminar meetings and give us a faux "peace in our time" momment. This will all be done with Iranian collusion - they're not stupid. Of course they want Obama re-elected.
A perhaps-not-so-minor nit —
Technically, and legally, a State of War has existed - and still exists - between the United States and Iran since 1979, when the Ayatollah Khomeni declared war...
That declaration has never been rescinded or abrograted, as far as I know.....
Don't buy it. I don't believe Obama would ever take sides against any muslim jihadist country. To the contrary, he's done every thing possible to support and empower them. Not to say he wouldn't start a war with someone else for this reason - it just won't be against "his people".
Including declaring martial law, suspending the Constition, and appointing himself as emperor/king.
That's a thought a lot of us are sharing...
You obviously do not have to be intelligent to be rich.....
But I repeat myself.
Clinton bombed an aspirin factory to redirect attention from Monica - dems are capable of almost anything...
I agree with Trump on this.
I posted that I thought Obama would bomb Iran before the 2012 elections, on FR, a long time ago. I stand by it. Glad Trump agrees.
Zero would sell his soul to get re-elected.
There will be an October surprise in 2012 favoring him.
Be prepared so you will NOT be surprised.
They would behead a troop of girl scouts on the White House lawn to give him a 5 point bump in the polls.
I agree with Trump here. Trump is also right on China.
Pat Buchanan is even better on China and Pat Buchanan says that he would treat the illegal immigration into the U.S. as an invasion and repel it.
Clinton wagged the dog and almost depleted our entire cruise missle inventory. Zer0 will make sure there is Zer0 left and $trillions spent. Hopefully Americans will wake up and say that we cannot let America go to Zer0.
However war with Iran will not be the surprise. Obama has no history of starting war with any country controlled by Islamists.
I think Obama the muslim is more inclined to have a war started with the Iranians on Israel and then jumping in against Israel.
Remember, If the winds turn ugly against Islam, he will side with them.
anyone else find that this line makes no sense:
"doesn't simply believe that President Barack Obama was not born in this country"
p.s. if we go to war with iran, that will start the 3rd world war, 1/3 of the people in the world will die
Obama would sell his own mother (if he could identify her!) in order to get re-elected! Trump is right. The guy is ruthless and has no morals or principles. He'll do anything to retain power.
Obama would sell his own mother in order to get re-elected! Trump is right. The guy is ruthless and has no morals or principles. He'll do anything to retain power.
Gosh, they have that backward abut me, I wouldn't start the war to get elected, but If I was elected, I would start the war!
...and lots of people made money, manufacturing and upgrading new ones.
Same with North Korea, we have a cease fire on condition of negotiations for a truce, still in effect. Still at war.
I think you totally underestimate the extent to which 0dumb0 will do ANYTHING to gratify his arrogant narcissistic quench for power & money on the taxpayers dime at all costs. He & his phat ass butt ass ugly chimpanzee wife michelle are raping & pillaging our country and another little war (or big one) would not bother this commie pig SOB in the least.
Clinton got his war in Bosnia to turn the nation's attention away from Monican Lewinsky, 0dumb0 ramped up Afghanistan and then participated in the illegal war in Libya. Any demoRAT war is always a good war as far as the media & peace protestors. It is only when a Repub is president that a war is bad and needs to be endlessly replayed & rehashed on the MSM news & peace protestors turned violent.
In fact 0dumb0 would welcome any pretense to become involved in another war so that he can claim to be interested in America's security. Nothing is too low or debased for this RAT bastard socialist commie pig to do, in order to retain his power, even at the risk of losing demoRAT control of the House & Senate, as long as he retains his power.
Plus another war will allow him the opportunity to continue to spend add'l billions & even trillions of dollars, supposedly to support the war effort. Unfortuantely the House GOP led by Boehner & Senate GOP by McConnell will allow 0dumb0 his unlimited checkbook, being the weenie wimps that they are.
I believe Trump..I always thought Obama would do something dramatic to get reelected..Although I think people are wise to the Muslim now so will see through his plans..He is just to smug like he knows something we do not.. And I do not think he was born in our country..Maybe one day we will find out..
Starting a war with Iran won't help Obama, as the vote that will be based on having a "war leader" won't go his way.
Sort of like the dog catcher starting a fire in order to protect his job from municipal cuts.
Obama won't have to start a war with Iran, Iran is going to start one for him.
All the signs are there.
Which voters would he lose, and which would he gain? While I put nothing past our fagot and chief, a war with Iran is an iffy proposition.
Oh, really? I hope you were being sarcastic, or are you one of those 99 percenters? If you are a member of the "Lucky Sperm Club" and inherited your wealth, that's one thing, but to build a profitable business and amass wealth takes intelligence and hard work. Of the rich people I know, none of them are stupid.
"Starting a war against Islamic country" may be technically correct however he has continued the Bush doctrine in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The war against Iran has already started. So far it is only covert. If we succesfully take out their nuclear capability quietly, without starting an allout war (as I think is the plan), then Obama will crow his success to boost his numbers. If we are not successful then our action will be ignored. I don't think he is "enough of a Muslim" to deter him from killing Muzzies, it doesn't deter the average terrorist bomber.
I've never seen anyone attack Obama nor call Obama out like Trump has.
Also Trump is right about how China is abusing the U.S. on trade etc.
Can you all imagine Trump in a debate with Obama and Trump calling Obama out on things like his birth certificate etc.?
At least we'd have some fun watching the debate as our country goes the way Europe is now collapsing.
Well, he does. He gets a national security briefing every morning.
Trump is on to something but instead of the Obozoâs reelection, maybe a NATO/US - Iran war will also involve our home land thus be used to enact martial law and suspend the election of 2012. This crop of criminals wants absolute control and anything is plausible. Like Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinski stated; âit is easier to kill a million people than it is to try to control them.â
Iraq troops are leaving soon, disaster, Iran control and instability is next. Afghanistan troops withdrawal date has already been announced. Karzai regime will fall as soon as the troops are gone. Who do you think will take over?
As for killing Muzzies, you can count them on your abacus.
Mainly for propaganda purposes. 99% of Taliban leaders and
the Haqqani network are alive and well and protected in Pakistan.
Egypt election just yesterday had 40% votes for the Muslim brotherhood. Ditto will happen in Libya, Tunisia and Yemen. A form of Sharia will be in place in all those countries.
He would start a war to get reelected, but not with Iran.
Possible, but is it likely? I don't believe so.
IMO, starting another war is a way to PREVENT getting reelected. Wouldn't his base be ticked, and thus not vote for him?

Strike keeps VIU teams out of gym
Vancouver Island University's gymnasium is closed down for a couple of days, but sports seasons won't stop and wait.
The VIU Mariners teams will find a way to work around job action by the university's CUPE support staff.
Shane Hyde, coach of the women's volleyball team, decided to give his team a day off today (Nov. 20), but the Mariners will be back on the court tomorrow.
"We've been told we're allowed to practise outside of the facility and we can arrange practice elsewhere," Hyde said.
The team was sure to grab all its necessary equipment from the VIU gym before the strike took effect.
VIU's men's basketball team has been inconvenienced a little more, as coach Matt Kuzminski doesn't want to cancel practice.
"As it stands now we don't have a practice today or tomorrow unless I can find a gym, which I'm trying to do…" he said. "We've tried a lot of different facilities. None are available. It's really short notice."
He said he first became aware of the likelihood of job action on Friday, but then his team took a weekend road trip to the Lower Mainland so he didn't have the opportunity to look into finding gym time elsewhere. He'll try to get his guys together for workouts, at least.
"It many not be as basketball-specific as we would like, but we'll get together with the team and still do stuff to keep our conditioning," said Kuzminski. "It'll be, in a sense, a nice test for us to see how we can handle a bit of adversity."
The union's job action was scheduled as a two-day walkout, so the VIU gym is slated to be back open Thursday (Nov. 22) when the Mariners volleyball teams host Pacific Western Athletic Association matches against the College of the Rockies.
"We're going full speed ahead for the Thursday game," said Hyde.
GAME ON … The VIU Mariners women's volleyball team plays the COTR Avalanche at 6 p.m. both Thursday and Friday, with the men's v-ball teams serving up 8 p.m. matches those nights. VIU's men's and women's basketball teams will be on the road Friday to play the Camosun Chargers in Victoria … Look for more on VIU volleyball and basketball in Thursday's News Bulletin.

Radiologist, longtime fixture on Lido Isle dies at 89
Dr. E. Terrance "Terry" Moran, a longtime resident of Lido Isle, Korean War veteran and retired radiologist, died June 2 in Newport Beach. He was 89.
Described by his daughter Stephanie Bernardy as a humble man who lived a humble life, Moran was a fixture on Lido Isle since the mid-1960s.
Born in Los Angeles in 1923, Moran was the oldest of four boys. He graduated from Loyola University in 1943 and married Patricia Shine the same year. Moran went on to graduate from USC Medical School in 1946. Moran interned for a year in Wisconsin before he and his wife returned to California, where he began a radiology residency.
The Army came calling in 1950, sending Moran to Korea, where he was assigned to a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital for six months. He was later transferred to Japan and was reunited with his wife and three children.
They lived in Japan for a year before returning to California, settling in the San Fernando Valley until 1960, when Moran became chief of the radiology department at St. Joseph Hospital in Orange. Moran bought a home on Lido Isle in 1962.
The Moran family, which eventually expanded to seven children, enjoyed a life of adventure and travel with their father. Bernardy said her father lived his life by the mantra of "work hard and then play hard." Moran was an avid boater, tennis player and snow skier.
"We had such an amazing life with him," Bernardy said. "And everything that he did, he was a competitor."
Moran lost his wife to cancer in 1988 and later retired from active radiology practice in 1996. But his giving and compassionate nature kept him busy volunteering at Share Our Selves in Newport Beach, a nonprofit organization that offers a free health clinic to those in need, Bernardy said. He spent his later years with his loving companion, Molly Fawcett.
Moran is survived by his brother, Jack Moran of Truckee, and seven children: TJ Moran of Carmel; Daniel Moran of Honolulu; Matthew Moran of Portland, Ore.; Bernardy of Corona del Mar; Jennifer Moran of Nashville, Tenn.; Mark Moran of San Clemente; and Lisa Herrera of Los Alamitos. Moran is also survived by 19 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
Services for Moran were held Monday at Mt. Carmel Catholic Church in Newport Beach, followed by a reception at the Lido Isle Yacht Club. Memorial donations may be made to the Wounded Warrior Project (woundedwarriorproject.org) or to the St. Joseph Hospital Foundation (sjo.org).

What others have been saying about our Beginning Java Tutorial:
What is "Beginning Java - A Computer Programming Tutorial" ... and how it works. Written By Alan Payne, A Computer Science Teacher
The lessons "Beginning Java" are a highly organized and well-indexed set of tutorials meant for children aged 10 and above. NetBeans, a specific IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is used to create both Console and GUI( Graphical User Interface applications).
The tutorials provide the benefit of completed age-appropriate applications for high school students - fully documented projects from the teacher's or parent's point of view. That is, while full solutions are provided for the instructor's benefit, the projects are presented in an easy-to-follow set of lessons explaining the rational for the form layout, coding design and conventions, and specific code related to the problem. High school learners may follow tutorials at their own pace. Every bit of the lesson is remembered as it contributes to the final solution. The finished product is the reward, but the student is fully engaged and enriched by the process. This kind of learning is often the focus of teacher training. Every computer science teacher knows what a great deal of preparation is required for projects to work for senior students. With these tutorials, the research behind the projects is done by an author who understands the classroom experience. That is extremely rare!
Graduated Lessons for Every Project ... Lessons, examples, problems and projects. Graduated learning. Increasing and appropriate difficulty... Great results.
With these projects, there are lessons providing a comprehensive, student-friendly background on the programming topics to be covered. Once understood, concepts are easily applicable to a variety of applications. Then, specific examples are drawn out in the JCreator environment. Then specific Java coding for the example is provided so that the user can see all the parts of the project come together for the finished product.
By presenting lessons in this graduated manner, students are fully engaged and appropriately challenged to become independent thinkers who can come up with their own project ideas and design their own forms and do their own coding. Once the process is learned, then student engagement is unlimited! I have seen literacy improve dramatically because students cannot get enough of what is being presented.
Indeed, lessons encourage accelerated learning - in the sense that they provide an enriched environment to learn computer science, but they also encourage accelerating learning because students cannot put the lessons away once they start! Computer science provides this unique opportunity to challenge students, and it is a great testament to the authors that they are successful in achieving such levels of engagement with consistency.
My History with Kidware Software products.
I have used Kidware's Programming Tutorials for over a decade to keep up my own learning. By using these lessons, I am able to spend time on things which will pay off in the classroom. I do not waste valuable time ensconced in language reference libraries for programming environments - help screens which can never be fully remembered! These projects are examples of how student projects should be as final products - thus, the pathway to learning is clear and immediate in every project.
If I want to use or expand upon some of the projects for student use, then I take advantage of site-license options. I have found it very straight forward to emphasize the fundamental computer science topics that form the basis of these projects when using them in the classroom. I can list some computer science topics which everyone will recognize, regardless of where they teach - topics which are covered expertly by these tutorials:
* Data Types and Ranges* Scope of Variables* Naming Conventions* Decision Making* Looping* Language Functions - String, Date, Numerical* Arrays* Writing Your own Methods (subroutines)* Writing Your Own Classes (stressing object-oriented concepts)* Understanding the Abstract Windows Toolkit in Java for GUI applications, and more... it's all integrated into the tutorials.
In many States or Provinces, the above-listed topics would certainly be formally introduced in High School computer science, and would form the basis of most projects undertaken by students. With these tutorials, you as the learner, teacher or parent may choose where to put the emphasis, to be sure to cover the curricular expectations of your curriculum documents.
Quick learning curve for teachers! How teachers can use the product:
Having projects completed ahead of time can allow the teacher to present the design aspect of the project FIRST, and then have students do all of their learning in the context of what is required in the finished product. This is a much faster learning curve than if students designed all of their own projects from scratch. Lessons concentrating on a unified outcome for all makes for much more streamlined engagement for students, as they complete more projects within a short period of time and there is a context for everything that is learned.
With the Beginning Java tutorials, sound advice regarding generally accepted coding strategies ("build and test your code in stages", "learn input, output, formatting and data storage strategies for different data types", build graphical components from Java's Abstract Windows Toolkit or AWT class libraries, etc..) encourage independent thought processes among learners. After mastery, then it is much more likely that students can create their own problems and solutions from scratch. Students are ready to create their own summative projects for your computer science course - or just for fun, and they may think of projects for their other courses as well! And what could be wrong with asking the students' other teachers what they would like to see as project extensions?
Meets State and Provincial Curriculum Expectations and More
Different states and provinces have their own curriculum requirements for computer science. With the Kidware Software products, you have at your disposal a series of projects which will allow you to pick and choose from among those which best suit your curriculum needs. Students focus upon design stages and sound problem-solving techniques from a computer-science, problem-solving perspective. In doing so, they become independent problem-solvers, and will exceed the curricular requirements of their computer science curriculum in all jurisdictions.
Useable projects - Out of the box!
The specific projects covered in the Beginning Java tutorials are suitable for students in grades 9 to 12. Specific kid-friendly tutorials and projects are found in the Contents document, and include

As you can see, there is a high degree of care taken so that projects are age-appropriate.
You as a parent or teacher can begin teaching the projects on the first day. It's easy for the adult to have done their own learning by starting with the solution files. Then, they will see how all of the parts of the lesson fall into place.
How to teach students to use the materials.
In a school situation, teachers might be tempted to spend considerable amounts of time at the projector or computer screen going over the tutorial - but the best strategy is to present the finished product first! That way, provided that the teacher has covered the basic concepts listed in the table of contents, then students will quickly grasp how to use the written lessons on their own. Lessons will be fun, and the pay-off for younger students is that there is always a finished product which is fun to use!
Highly organized reference materials for student self-study!
Materials already condense what is available from the Java SDK help files (which tends to be written for adults) and in a context and age-appropriate manner, so that younger students remember what they learn.
The time savings for parents, teachers and students is enormous as they need not sift through pages and pages of on-line help to find what they need.How to mark the projects.
In a classroom environment, it is possible for teachers to mark student progress by asking questions during the various problem design and coding stages. In the early grades (grades 5 to 8) teachers can make their own oral, pictorial review or written pop quizzes easily from the reference material provided as a review strategy from day to day. I have found the requirement of completing projects (mastery) sufficient for gathering information about student progress - especially in the later grades (grades 9 to 12).
Lessons encourage your own programming extensions.
Once concepts are learned, it is difficult to NOT know what to do for your own projects. This is true especially at the High School level - where applications can be made in as short as 10 minutes (a high-low guessing game, or a temperature conversion program, for example), or 1 period in length - if one wished to expand upon any of the projects using the "Other Things to Try" suggestions.
Having used Kidware Software tutorials for the past decade, I have to say that I could not have achieved the level of success which is now applied in the variety of many programming environments which are currently of considerable interest to kids! I thank Kidware Software and its authors for continuing to stand for what is right in the teaching methodologies which work with kids - even today's kids where competition for their attention is now so much an issue.

Passenger Side Mirror - Replacement
So unfortunately I was in a hurry this weekend and caught the corner of my passenger side mirror on the garage, which cracked / chipped the housing.
The painted part is still fine, it is the plastic part underneath the painted part which broke.
Question is, do I need to replace the whole housing? If so, where is the best place to buy the housing?
I've seen it on PartsGeek, RockAuto, eBay, etc... what is the best place to buy?
This look like the right one?: 2011-2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Mirror - Body Mechanical & Trim - Action Crash, Right - Passenger Side 11-13 Grand Cherokee Mirror - 96701-04055382 - PartsGeek
I have a 2012 Altitude V6 4x4. Thanks in advance for any help.
Re: Passenger Side Mirror - Replacement
Looking for any help here... Even let me know where YOU would buy parts from? Go directly to the dealer? PartsGeek? Some other Jeep parts website?
Anyone have an instruction manual / write up for how to remove the side mirrors?
Re: Passenger Side Mirror - Replacement
I prefer OEM but:
Aftermarket New: 11 12 Jeep Grand Cherokee Power Heated Mirror Passenger Side Right RH New | eBay
OEM Used: None listed currently on eBay, so you have to check every day or so. Check with your dealer and ask for a discount. Check with your insurance company to see if you have 100% vandal comprehensive coverage - it was broken while parked at the mall, right?
I have purchased aftermarket parts from this vendor before, their quality is more than acceptable. Transfer your painted mirror cover to the replacement mirror, best luck.
What does comprehensive coverage do?
Comprehensive insurance (COMP, Other Than Collision, OTC) covers your insured vehicle for physical damage losses resulting from incidents other than collision. This normally includes coverage for:
Re: Passenger Side Mirror - Replacement
Thanks for the reply. Don't think I'm going to go with insurance as I don't want there to be a chance for my rates to go up if I claim something.
Looks like I'll just try to find the piece somewhere else... would like a genuine OEM part so that it matches the other side though.
Re: Passenger Side Mirror - Replacement
Hope that helps a little.
Re: Passenger Side Mirror - Replacement
Insurance companies cannot increase your rates for a Comprehensive claim in most states. Rates can only go up for at-fault Collision claims (unless you are in a no-fault state).

You will have to replace the whole mirror. The only parts sold alone are the chrome caps. Search the forum, I believe someone did a write up a few weeks ago.

|Connecting Threads Essential Thread
I've always bought cotton thread, preferring to work with natural fibers, but I've tried all sorts of brands. When I started sewing, I bought Coats & Clark - cheap and local. Then, when I became "a quilter" I switched to Gutermann - also local, though expensive and supposed to be better quality for quilting. Aurifil has been much-touted in blogland, so naturally I gave it a try. I bought a pack of basic Aurifil neutrals from Pink Chalk, which I'm still working my way through. Pricey stuff, but so shiny that it feels luxurious. Lots of people recommend it for free motion quilting.
|quilted with Aurifil 12 wt
Honestly, I can't tell the difference in how ANY of these sew. That doesn't mean that there isn't a difference (I'm no expert), but it feels like faith to buy one or the other. I know some sewing machines seem to prefer specific threads, but I haven't found that to be the case with my machines. I do love to straight line quilt in the Aurifil 12 wt thread, a chunky thread that really shows off. I'll keep that up, but for piecing.... Aurifil is just too pricey for me.
|Connecting Threads Essential Threads
So, recently, I asked Connecting Threads to send me a cone of their "Essential" thread in 50 wt cotton. The price is extraordinarily good - 5000 yards for $10. Or, if your machine doesn't accommodate cones, it's $2.80 for a 1200 yard spool. Either way, it's the cheapest thread I've seen. Yes, it's less lustrous than Aurifil 50 wt and maybe does make more lint (not sure for my machine, though others who've done comparison tests say so). But the thing is I sew a lot. Price matters.
I've been sewing with Connecting Threads thread for a month now. I've used it for piecing, quilting and garment sewing. Aria's been wearing her Geranium dress weekly, and it's holding up nicely.
Whisper is the first quilt I free motion quilted with Connecting Threads thread. It went wonderfully. So, unless something comes up otherwise, I see more 5000 yard cones in my future. I like the fact that I can load it in white and leave it up there, like forever. Simplicity is golden.
What about you? What thread do you prefer and why?
Note: With thread, 50 wt thread is much finer than 12 wt thread. 8 wt thread would be even thicker. 80 wt thread would be super-fine.

Agency cuts rate increase sought by Alliant Energy
PSC says utility was tardy with reports
The Wisconsin Public Service Commission has reduced an Alliant Energy rate increase proposal by $3 million.
The PSC ruled this week that Wisconsin Power & Light Co., an Alliant subsidiary, should have informed state energy regulators sooner about transmission grid problems it was going to face in getting power from its Minnesota wind farm to Wisconsin.
In a ruling that in essence penalized the Madison utility, the PSC reduced the rate proposal.
As a result, the 446,000 customers of WP&L in southern and eastern Wisconsin won't see electricity rates go up in January.
During a meeting in Madison this week, commissioners chastised WP&L for informing the Alliant board of directors about the transmission problem in January but not updating the commission on the issue until July.
When it was approving construction of the $460 million Bent Tree Wind Farm project last year, the PSC wasn't aware that transmission bottlenecks in Minnesota would prevent more than 80% of the power from moving onto the interstate power grid, said Eric Callisto, commission chair.
"An issue of this magnitude on a project this large and important to a utility seems to warrant a heads-up to (the PSC) as well as to the board," Callisto said. The PSC vote was the first of several during the next six weeks that will determine what customers of Wisconsin's investor-owned utilities pay for electricity in 2011. Among those seeking increases is the state's largest utility, We Energies of Milwaukee.
Customer groups had pressed the commission to go further, in what would have resulted in a decline in prices for WP&L customers in January.
"We were asking for them to go further, but we're glad at least that ratepayers are going to see some relief for the fact that Bent Tree cannot deliver power to Wisconsin the way it was supposed to," said Charlie Higley, executive director of the Wisconsin Citizens' Utility Board, a customer group representing residential and small-business customers.
WP&L spokesman Scott Reigstad said the company respected the commission's decision but felt it had provided ample information about the issue.
"And transmission constraints are something that are pretty widely known in that part of the country. They're talking about building a lot of projects to get the wind power from west to east," he said.
The commission was able to avoid a rate increase because WP&L collected too much money from customers this year for fuel used by its power plants.
The utility had initially sought a 3.6% rate increase, or an increase of $35 million, to pay for wind farm construction costs.
Reigstad said transmission upgrades are expected to be completed in time to allow all of the wind power generated from the Bent Tree project to move onto the power grid by 2013.
Higley said concerns about the wind farm underscore the significance of the lawsuit that his group and the Wisconsin Industrial Energy Group filed last year after the commission approved the wind farm.
The commission didn't use its most exhaustive review process for the project because it was located outside Wisconsin, but Higley and Todd Stuart of WIEG said it's possible the transmission challenges would have become apparent earlier if the more detailed review process had been used.
The customer groups lost the first round of their court appeal but recently filed a petition asking the state Court of Appeals to overturn the lower court's ruling.
A portion of the Bent Tree project, located near Albert Lea, Minn., is already generating power. The project is expected to be completed by the end of March, Reigstad said. When complete, it is projected to generate enough power over a year's time to supply 50,000 typical homes.
Customers served by WP&L include homes and businesses in parts of Dane, Jefferson, Kenosha, Walworth, Winnebago, Dodge, Fond du Lac and Sheboygan counties.

Description from Hive Modern
- Design Alvar Aalto, 1935
- Birch plywood, birch veneer
- Made in Finland by Artek
"Objects are made to be completed by the human mind." -Alvar Aalto
Aalto invented a process for bending thick layers of birch into graceful yet strong frames for a number of products including Table 91. The framework consists of natural lacquered laminated birch wood and is topped by a 2″ piece of wood with either birch veneer, white laminate or black linoleum top. Table 90A serves as a distinctive addition to any room or hospitality area.
Alvar Aalto was a highly talented architect and an eager spokesman for the international modernist movement. Aalto's designs were innovative and radical and became known for his experimental approach to bending wood, which greatly influenced American designers Charles & Ray Eames and Finnish-born Eero Saarinen. His style became known as humanist modernism. Alvar Aalto's dialogue with nature, architecture, design and the human being has become a living legacy.

Colonel Gaddafi would not handle letters written to him because of fears for his safety, it was claimed today.
The insight into the former Libyan leader's bunker mentality emerged during a High Court case brought by a Jordanian businesswoman against a senior member of the Saudi royal family.
Consultant Daad Sharab said the dictator, who was toppled and killed by rebels in 2011, would only touch copies made of original documents for "security reasons".
Gadaffi was the subject of numerous assassination attempts including the 1986 US missile strike on his Tripoli compound.
Mrs Sharab is embroiled in a multi-million pound legal battle with Prince Al-Waleed Bin Talal Bin Abdul-Aziz Al-Saud, owner of The Savoy hotel in London.
She claims she is owed £6.5m in unpaid commission by the Prince for her part in the sale of his private Airbus to the former Libyan leader. Lawyers for the billionaire investor deny her claim arguing that no fixed commission was agreed.
The lavishly opulent airliner was fitted with a double bed, silver leather sofas and a whirlpool bath.
In 2009 it was used to collect Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi on his release from a Scottish jail. It was eventually seized by opposition fighters and put on display at Tripoli airport.
Gaddafi purchased the plane following the lifting of sanctions against his country in 1999 allowing him to travel to meet other world leaders.
The hearing in London was told that the businesswoman delivered letters from Prince Al-Waleed to Colonel Gaddafi. It was claimed they had to be copied before the Libyan leader would deal with them.
"The Prince would give me letters for the President which I was responsible for hand delivering," Mr Justice Peter Smith heard in a written witness statement.
"However for security reasons, the President would not handle the ink on original correspondence."
Mrs Sharab, 52, claims Prince Al-Waleed agreed to pay the commission in 2005 following a meeting in the Colonel's tent in Libya.
She alleges she was "extensively involved" in the £76m deal - which was said to have been originally hatched in a restaurant in London's West End with the Prince's representative - and to have made "numerous visits" to the country to bring it about.
On the final trip she was detained and only released following the end of the uprising which resulted in Gaddafi's death.
Mrs Sharab says the prince agreed to pay her £1.2m. However, she would receive the difference if the final sale price exceeded £70m, she claims.
Prince Al-Waleed, a nephew of King Fahd who was received by David Cameron at Downing Street earlier this year, is one of the world's richest men with an estimated fortune of more than £12bn.
The 58-year-old is expected to become the first member of the Saudi royal family to be cross examined by a British QC when he gives evidence at the hearing next week. His lawyers fought against holding the case in London eventually appealing unsuccessfully to the House of Lords.
The Prince is behind plans to build the world's tallest building - a tower a mile high. He told Reuters this month that he was inviting leaders of global cities including Shanghai, Moscow, New York and London to make offers. Last month the Prince said he was suing Forbes magazine after he claimed it underestimated his wealth.
As well as owning The Savoy the Prince also has stakes in the Hotel George V in Paris, Canary Wharf and News International.

We've been brainstorming for weeks on end trying to figure out how to make a GORGEOUS, but cost efficient water display and I am so happy to announce that we have finally figured it out.
It includes a little bit of new, a little bit of found objects, and a whole lot of hard work. I'm not going to lie to you. It's a little bit of work, but it will be TOTALLY worth it if you're up for the challenge!
So, hop on over to Remodelaholic today for my contributor post where I reveal all of the nitty, gritty details. P.S. Don't forget to leave me some comment love. Click HERE to see the post!

Could use a bar!
November 5, 2013
Shortly after we arrived in the room at 10:30 pm we found that the AC unit would vibrate loudly for about 30 sec every 20 to 25 min. We tried to sleep through it but finaly gave up and called the front desk at 1:15 to ask to be moved. I was informed that there was nothing that they could do about it. They suggested that we turn off the AC, which we did. This lasted about 3 hrs untill it became too stuffy in the room and we had to turn the AC back on again and the noise started all over. Needless to say we didn't get much sleep. I complained again when I was checking out but was told that there was still nothing that they could do. I was very disapointed with there uncarring attitude. I will not stay at Hamption again. ...

I like this particular Hampton because it is always consistent with a friendly helpful staff ( both in person or on the phone). I've stayed here many times because I know how comfortable the beds are and it has great towels! The location is close to restaurants & shopping & minutes from the interstate or the local university. I was in town for a family gathering and my out of state relatives all stayed here at my suggestion and were pleased with their accommodations as well. ...

After staying there my husband and I agreed that we will take a short trip (70 miles) at least once a month and stay in your Hotel. We were very pleased with it. A great place to stay just for fun. The only thing I would suggest is they need to put a sign on Eastman Road so you wouldn't pass it up since it set back off the road. Other than that it was excellent.

"How soon 'not now' becomes never."
-Martin Luther
Don't worry, I'm not going to go off on the Protestant Reformation of 16thcentury Europe this morning. I'm going to give some much simpler advice re: chasing any asset price higher today – Not Now. Most things will get marked-up into month-end.
That's not to say I didn't think yesterday at 9:51 AM wasn't a good time to buy. With the SP500 testing 1301 (down 32 points, or -2.4% from last Thursday morning's 1333 high), that's where I bought Energy (XLE), taking my Cash position down from 91% to 85% and taking up my US Equity position in the Hedgeye Asset Allocation Model from 0% to 6%.
Some people get all fired-up about this whole TimeStamping thing we do. It's really nothing to get emotional about. It's just what we do. We like to make calls and be held accountable to the timing of those calls. We call it the score.
Back to the Global Macro Grind…
These German dudes and dudettes have to be right fired-up this morning. In the face of the entire world begging them to bail out the dysfunctional; and after watching the American media chastise them for not being able to do the "right thing" – they just kept saying Not Now to just about everyone who no longer needs Luther's Latin translation for the word never.
How is the economic model of German fiscal conservatism scoring? Here it is, head-to-head, versus Italy:
- Germany Unemployment = 6.7% JAN vs 6.8% DEC = 20-year low
- Italy Unemployment = 8.9% JAN vs 8.8% DEC = 8-year high
What's in your wallet?
Again and again and again, we've tried to remind our audience that the strength of a country is not explicitly reflected by the daily moves of her stock market. Ask the Germans who lived through a 1920s stock market hyper-inflation about that.
If you don't have a policy to fear-monger your citizenry into believing that saving is evil, you might just build a national confidence and pride that reflexively equates to more stable employment and consumption.
In the US, we're getting closer to figuring this out. Or are we? Romney's monetarily conservative message seems to be picking up some momentum in Florida and, at the same time, it still looks like President Obama can change fiscally.
Yes We Can. But will he?
Instead of being politically polarized by the debate, I think the world's vote on this will continue to be on the tape each and every day, ticking, via the sequential momentum in the US Dollar Index.
If you haven't noticed, in the last few weeks, the US Dollar has lost a statistically significant amount of momentum:
- US Dollar Index = down -3.1% since its intermediate-term top of $81.53 in mid-January 2012
- US Dollar Index = up +8.2% since testing a 40-year low during the thralls of Qe2's policy to inflate (April 2011)
To be crystal clear on this, the correlation to asset prices between the US Dollar Index and everything else in Global Macro right now is unclear.
In sharp contrast to April 2011, when the inverse correlation between US stocks and the USD was tracking in the -0.8-0.9 range, today's 120-day correlation is actually a positive +0.44 and US Equity Volatility (VIX) has an inverse correlation to USD of -0.59.
In other words, before The Bernank Tax last week, the Fed was out of the way and we saw a stabilization/strengthening of the US Dollar over the course of the last 3-6 months that:
A) firmed up US Confidence, Employment, and Consumption (71% of GDP)
B) started to tone down one of the biggest risks to returns in any business – expected price volatility
American Progress by simply having Bernanke and Geithner out of the way – fancy that. Americans were/are getting it done without the heavy hand of government help. No matter what your politics, that's just good.
What would not be good for the US economy or stock market (again, two very different things) would be a breakdown in the US Dollar Index of $78.03 intermediate-term TREND support and a breakout in US Equity Volatility (VIX) above TRADE line resistance of 20.86. That would really fire up the price of oil. Copper is already up +12.5% YTD!
Not Good. Not Now.
As you can see in the long-term chart of US Stocks (SPX) vs Equity Volatility (VIX):
- The SP500 is making a series of lower long-term highs
- The VIX is making a series of higher long-term lows
The charts look Japanese because the long-term Bush/Obama Keynesian Policies have been. That chart also summarizes the societal American Zeitgeist about markets and the central planners infecting them.
Is President Obama prepared to tell Ben Bernanke to get out of the way and let American Savers earn a rate of return on their fixed incomes? Not Now. While hope is not a risk management process, I can only pray that doesn't mean never.
My immediate-term support and resistance ranges for Gold, Oil (Brent), EUR/USD, US Dollar Index, German DAX, and the SP500 are now $1, $110.61-111.89, $1.30-1.32, $78.70-79.75, 6, and 1, respectively.
Best of luck out there today,

Wendy's' stock has flat-lined for over three years and, after today's presentation, we have become less positive on the next three years. Its going to be an uphill battle for WEN to hit its long-term target of high-single- or double-digit EBITDA growth over that period.
TRADE: While the new burgers continue to help lift same-store sales trends, the combination of beef inflation and lower long-term guidance limits the current upside.
TREND: We are cautious on this duration as rival brands continue to execute on their own remodel strategy. CEO Emil Brolick has admitted that, while menu innovation is important, the full benefit won't come through until the asset base is upgraded.
TAIL: More than $3.7 billion is required to the Wendy's asset base, according to management. That's the figure needed to carry out an "Image Activation" at the 70% of the Wendy's system that is earmarked for extensive remodeling. The company's market cap is $1.99 billion. Its 2011 revenue came in at $2.43 billion. We do not have a view on the TAIL because there is a lot of uncertainty as to how the remodels will test. The math does not inspire much confidence.
The first question anyone need to ask is where is that money going to come from and when will the capital start to flow?
Coming into today's presentation, we were of the opinion that WEN was facing a difficult environment over the TRADE (three weeks or less) and TREND (three months or more) durations. Over the longer-term TAIL, we expressed a positive view on WEN, giving the company the benefit of the doubt pending lessons to be learned as remodel testing initiative is undertaken over the next six months or so.
Currently, as we wrote above, we don't have a view on Wendy's over the TAIL duration, but remain bearish on the TRADE and TREND. Wendy's is behind the curve in the QSR space and requires a staggering amount capital investment to right itself.
Our thoughts on the Wendy's presentation today can be boiled down to three key points. 1) In order to fix the asset base and make the concept competitive with category leaders, more than $3.7 billion will have to be spent. 2) The company effectively admitted that its older stores are substandard and are hindering any improvement in consumers' perception of the Wendy's brand. 3) Even if they current strategy that the company is testing is the correct one – and it may not be – it will be difficult to persuade franchisees to go along with the level of investment required to turn the brand around.
The table below shows the $3.7 billion and our calculation of that number. It should be noted that the total remodeling program will cost much more as that calculation only includes the 70% of Wendy's restaurants that require "Image Activation". Some additional stores require less extensive refreshing.
The question of where $3.7 billion is going to come from is especially bearish for WEN on the TAIL duration. We would not be a buyer of this stock today. While WEN endures this prolonged period of high capital spending, competitors will continue to proceed with already-well-underway remodeling programs that should, in our view, make the competitive environment for Wendy's difficult.
The company's "Recipe to Win" is based on four reimaging the restaurants, people, experience, and the food. Our main issue with this presentation is that the cost of this recipe, $3.7 billion, is going to significantly limit the earnings power of the company for a number of years.
ASSET BASE: The company has just over 6,200 restaurants in North America. The substandard condition of the units, relative to the competition, is hampering progress. The company estimates that a sales life of 25% will result from remodels. We would wait for that to be proven out and highly doubt, given the level of spending that the turnaround is going to require, that any upside will be missed from waiting on the sidelines. At this point, the anecdote of customers saying "this can't be Wendy's" in the remodeled stores is not a positive.
EBITDA: Management did lower the bar on guidance, as we had suspected it would, bringing long-term EBITDA growth expectations down to high-single-digits from the prior 10-15% range. We do not believe that high-single-digit EBITDA growth will happen for Wendy's for at least three years.
SSS: The company is guiding to comps of 2-3% for this year. This almost doesn't matter given the massive capital that the company is now if need of to turn the brand around. Over the longer term, management believes that an enhanced pricing strategy and marketing approach will help drive the top line.
BREAKFAST: No timeline was attached to the comments on breakfast. This has been a difficult ask for Wendy's operators given the real estate challenges and the dominance of McDonald's in this daypart. McDonald's buying up billboards in test markets doesn't help either.
COGS: Guiding to 4-5% basket inflation for '12. Beef makes up ~20% of food and paper spend. The company is planning to offset by menu mix.
TAX RATE: The tax rate is expected to be between 40% and 42% this year.

He Won't Be Retiring In Florida
Conclusion: Romney is going to win Florida, but it is increasingly looking like Gingrich will battle Romney all the way to the Republican convention. We believe this puts a Democrat sweep very much on the table.
In the second half of October and early November last year, the Republican nominating process looked like all but a coronation for former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. The contract on InTrade that calculated whether he would become the next nominee was trading at over a 70% probability after never trading above 40% prior to October 2011. By mid-November both Rick Perry and Herman Cain, who for short period of times led national polls, had completely flamed out. Then, of course, along came Newt Gingrich with his benefactor Sheldon Adelson.
The chart below from Real Clear Politics highlights the poll averages over the last year from the Republican field. Specific to Gingrich, the chart shows that for much of the race he was a non-factor, running as far back as sixth place. Slowly on the back of solid debate performances and the failures of Cain and Perry, Gingrich gained momentum as the right wing of the Republican Party coalesced around him. On December 13, 2011, Gingrich had the most commanding lead of the race with 35.0% of those polled supporting him versus only 22.3% for Romney. Since then, Gingrich's polling has fluctuated dramatically. In the course of six weeks since December 13th, Gingrich's polls have been characterized by volatility, reaching as low as 16.2% on January 16th and as high as 31.3% on January 27th.
Romney, on the other hand, has been the embodiment of controlled stability in the polls. Although he peaked at 31.2% in early January, his poll numbers have largely ranged between 20% and 25% since late July. It seems the Republican Party likes him, but not enough to enable him to land the knock-out blow and clinch the nomination, despite his superior organization and fundraising. The fundraising point has been critical to Romney turning the tide in Florida. As of Friday, Romney and his super PAC had spent $15.3 million in Florida buying media spots versus $3.4 million for Gingrich.
This spending, most of which has come in the last couple of weeks, has had a meaningful impact. In the chart below, we show the last seven days of the InTrade contract on whether Romney will win Florida. It has gone from ~40% to just under 95% in that period. This is also reflected in Florida-specific polls, as Romney has won in the last 14 Florida polls going back to January 22nd and currently holds an 11.5 point lead over Gingrich on the Real Clear Politics poll aggregate. Given the Florida primary is tomorrow, it is unlikely that anything will shake Romney's sizeable lead.
Despite a likely loss by a wide margin in Florida, Gingrich has made one point very clear: he won't be retiring his candidacy in Florida. In fact he stated to Politico this weekend, "I will go all the way to the convention. I expect to win the nomination."
On some level, Gingrich appears to be adopting the Reagan strategy of 1976 when Reagan lost a number of early primaries, but won North Carolina, which shifted the momentum. In the end, Reagan lost by a handful of votes at the convention to Gerald Ford despite limited cash and a lack of establishment support. Following this tight loss, Reagan was lauded by conservatives for his efforts to push the Republican Party to the right.
The Gingrich camp is clearly trying to establish themselves as the conservative and right wing alternative to, as they call Romney, the "Massachusetts Moderate." On some level, this position is working as Gingrich has repeatedly associated himself with Reagan and has seen his standing in national polls increase as more conservative candidates, like Cain and Perry, have exited the race. In fact, this weekend Gingrich actually received the tacit endorsement of conservative and Tea Party standard bearer Sarah Palin who said the following on Fox this weekend:
"We need somebody who is engaged in sudden and relentless reform and is not afraid to shake up the establishment. So, if for no other reason, rage against the machine, vote for Newt, annoy a liberal, vote Newt, keep this vetting process going, keep the debate going."
In South Carolina, the exit polls showed very clearly that Gingrich is attracting the more conservative vote in the Republican primaries. In the ideology category of the South Carolina exit polls, Gingrich received 48% of the very conservative vote (which was 36% of the entire vote) versus 19% for Romney. In the same category, Santorum received 23% of the vote. Assuming that Santorum's very conservative voters were split between Gingrich and Romney based on the 48% to 19% split it would have widened Gingrich's victory by roughly 3.6%.
In the more broadly defined ideology breakdown of conservative versus liberal, which is represented by 68% and 32%, respectively, of those exit polled in Florida, Gingrich received 45% of the vote versus 23% for Romney and 19% for Santorum. Doing the same math as above, assuming a Gingrich and Romney split of Santorum's votes, equates to an additional 2.7% margin for Gingrich based on those that define themselves as conservative.
Clearly, the combination of support from the Tea Party right and the actually internals from recent exit polls support Gingrich staying in this race, even if he loses by a wide margin in Florida. As well, a key strategic distinction that Gingrich has versus Reagan in 1976 may be money. Or at least the money of casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, who has an estimated net worth north of $20 billion and has already donated $10 million to Gingrich's Super Pac. To the extent he wants to do so, Adelson certainly has the ability to keep Gingrich in the race.
So, what does the likelihood of an extended and bloody battle for the Republican nomination for the Presidency mean for the Republicans? Well, it seems to be conventional wisdom that it is not a good thing, and we tend to agree. Assuming Gingrich stays in the race to the bitter end, this could be an epic battle between the right wing and the moderate wing of the Republican Party, with the two candidates both likely to suffer ongoing and negative attacks from the other. This constant and negative barrage won't be good for the candidates, or the Republican Party itself.
On the first point, President Obama has started to poll better compared to both Gingrich and Romney than he has in the last six months. In the most recent Rasmussen poll, Obama is up on Romney by +6 points and up on Gingrich by an astounding +17 points. Moreover, in the generic congressional polls, the Democrats for the first time in over a year are widening the gap from the Republicans, which we've highlighted in the chart below. Currently, the Democrats have an advantage of 44.0 to 42.2 versus the Republicans, for an advantage of +1.8. This is a stark contrast to their shellacking in the 2010 mid-terms.
The one election alternative that few pundits are considering currently is a Democratic sweep of the Presidency and both Houses of Congress. In an extended war between Gingrich and Romney, this scenario could be squarely on the table.

Positions in Europe: Short EUR-USD (FXE)
As a follow-on to our note today titled "European Banking Monitor and EUR/USD Update", here we include that the ECB's secondary sovereign bond purchasing program (SMP) bought a mere €63 Million in the week ended 1/27 versus €2.243 Billion in the week ended 1/20 to take the total program to €219.0 Billion. This light figure comes as a surprise, especially given the relatively strong bond auctions last week, particularly from the periphery.

Luis Salas is sitting under an orange tree opposite the tourist office. A small, quiet man, he is the Spanish half of Really Discover, a new walking tour initiative in Seville begun by Luis and his English business partner David Cox. As David has broken his ankle, Luis will be my guide today.
It's 10.30am and no one else has arrived, but this is part of what's different about Really Discover. They turn up every day (including Christmas) and even if there's only one client will still take a tour. At €25 (£18) for two and a half hours of expertise it's a bargain.
"So shall we have a coffee?" Luis asks and we disappear into an alley where most of Seville is taking its morning espresso outside a tiny café-bar. Really Discover believes talking over coffee is an important part of any tour, so I outline my interest in the sites connected with Bizet's Carmen. Luis nods and smiles sadly. Later in the day I find out that he does not much like Carmen, a "very French" opera. It must be like guiding people round London and being asked where Mary Poppins and Dick van Dyke jump into that pavement picture.
Still, we set off in brilliant sunshine to the Fábrica de Tabacos on Calle San Fernando. The great shock of the Seville cigarette factory is that it's not the squalid shack beloved of opera producers. Built in the 18th century, this is the second largest building in Spain. It looks like a cross between a barracks and a palace from the outside and has courtyards, cloisters and baroque fountains within.
"Are you sure this is the right place?" I ask Luis.
"The King of Spain had the monopoly of tobacco," he replies. "That is why Seville is so rich."
Luis leads me through this huge building which since 1974 has been home to the University of Seville. We come to the factory prison, a splendid red and ochre building that looks like a baroque chapel. This is where Carmen, had she ever existed, would have been incarcerated. Today it's the department of modern history. Every office was once a cell. Outside each is the nameplate calaboso or "galleon" indicating size of cell, which in turn indicates the status of the prisoner.
I listen while Luis talks to a very jolly lady, Professor Mercedes Gamero. He translates for my benefit. "The women who worked here were searched for tobacco as they left the building. They were mainly Egyptians from the other side of the river. They were very ... they were not very ..." Polite words fail him.
"Were they very free?" I suggest. Luis nods.
The professor shows us a document dating back to 1812 when the first women were allowed to work in the factory. There are several Carmens on the roll.
Next we walk across the modern piazza Puerta de Jerez which marked the entrance to the walled city and past the old opera house, built for the great Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, which would have done a lot for Seville had it not been upstaged by the Wall Street Crash. Opposite is the tiny Bodeguita Casablanca full of bull-fighting memorabilia and a favourite of King Carlos according to Luis. "When he comes to Seville, they close it and open just for him."
Is this the kind of place that Carmen would have run off to when she escaped prison, I wonder, but Luis has a better place in mind. Morales on Calle Garcia de Vinuesa is the darkest, scruffiest bodega I've ever seen. It majors on dust but its wine is renowned. According to Luis it is cuitre, an adjective he cannot translate but which makes him think of an old man's bar with only one lavabo. "In the old days the only women who come in here were ..." "Very free? " I suggest. Luis nods.
Carmen's story ends, as everyone knows, outside the bullring and that is where Luis takes me next. The Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza is one of Spain's oldest. It's a low 18th-century building down by the Guadalquivir river and was outside the city walls when constructed. The colour scheme is all white and albero (Spanish ochre). In this morning's sunshine, it is dazzling. There are statues of famous matadors outside. In bronze these men look serious and self-contained, not like the swaggering, bragging baritones who sing Escamillo in Bizet's opera. The Feria is in April so definitely no action today.
Luis finds out when the next tour starts and tells me I must pay €5. I'm glad he's there to negotiate because the tiny ladies in the office do not speak English. I join a multilingual group that is led into the arena and am bowled over by the colours. More white and albero, a bright blue sky and below it the great circular sandy disc of the arena, framed by a low blood-red wall. It looks like a set, which indeed it is, but a set for a very serious ritual of death rather than an opera by one French man based on a novella by another. Still, I have certainly had my Carmen tour.
Luis joins me and asks if there is anything else I would like to see. If I am interested in opera, there is the house of Don Giovanni (real name Miguel de Manara). He was from Seville, as was Figaro, the factotum in Rossini's Barber of Seville. Luis knows all these sites. "Many people write operas about Seville," he says as we head off in search of lunch and I can't help feeling that somehow that makes him very sad.
