1 Acta Universitatis Lodziensis Folia Archaeologica 29/2012 Agata Andrzejewska Karol Demkowicz Depictions of angels with firearms in the iconography of the Viceroyalty of Peru Keywords: angel depictions, firearms, iconography, Viceroyalty of Peru Słowa kluczowe: przedstawienia aniołów, broń palna, ikonografia, Wicekrólestwo Peru Colonialism is generally regarded as a definitely negative phenomenon based on radical social inequalities and a result of brutal conquest, frequently close to homicide. As is often the case with such clichés, this image is far too simplified and narrow-minded if not erroneous. As a matter of fact, Latin America, with it s one-of-a-kind culture prooves how valuable the results of bloody confrontation of two dramatically different worlds can be. One of its abundant fruits, which is the subject of this work, appeared in a very special place, the Viceroyalty of Peru that is. This administrative and political district was founded by a royal decree in 1542 and was to exist, with numerous modifications, until the end of the Spanish reign in the region in Its territory at its peak consisted of the majority of South America, excluding Portugal s domains in nowadays Basil and Spanish-held, but separately managed region of today s Venezuela. The core of the Viceroyalty of Peru was based upon the old Inca empire it was just there, on the Andean highlands in the city of Potosí, where the world s richest silver deposits were found, and it was in Cuzco, the former Inca capital, where the region s most important cultural center emerged (Bailey, Nasatir 1969, pp. 176, , , maps 6 7). The city is famous for hosting one of the most splendid colonial painting schools. The so-called Cuzco school was formed around the mid 17 th century. It was characterised by depicting clothes in an extremely decorative manner, placing Andean landscapes in the background as well as descreetly connecting native everyday life scenes with the European Baroque art canon. Moreover, the school consisted of artists from different social levels it was formed not only by European immigrants, bringing novelties from the metropoly, but also by indians and mestizos, throwing in local folk art and culture. This mix gave birth to an extraordinary style. Each artist working in a workshop was responsible for a different part of the painting: hands,
2 302 Agata Andrzejewska, Karol Demkowicz face, clothes, background, etc. The Cuzco pieces achieved great success as they came to be ordered not only from the most distant parts of the Viceroyalty, but also from other Spanish domains. No wonder the painting production reached manufacture, if not industrial level of organisation (Gisbert, de Mesa 1986, pp ). The depictions of angels in a contemporary military outfit are a truly unique phenomenon in the whole Christian world, even taken into consideration their exotic provenance. The divine messangers are shown as soldiers equipped and uniformed up to the standards of the era (or at least inspired by those regulations). In fact, angels have always been regarded as defenders of the humanity against evil forces, and thereby they can be often seen depicted with arms and armor. However, these normally were of a romanlike antique fashion, especially in Renaissance and Baroque art, while celestial warriors with firearms, puffed clothes and infantry banners can t be seen at that time anywhere but in South America. The majority of the depictions in question can be found in churches spread over the Andean highlands (altiplano) from the La Paz department through Oruro, Potosí in Bolivia up to Uquía in Argentina. The most famous series of arquebus armed angels is held in Calamarca, a town nearby La Paz. Other noteworthy specimens come from the towns of Peñas in La Paz, Sora-Sora and Yarvicolla in Oruro department and San Martin church in the city of Potosí (Álvarez Rodríguez 2005, p. 13). All those paintings are anonimous, although José de Mesa and Teresa Gisbert, a pair of Bolivian art historians, believe that the Calamarca group was created by José López de los Ríos. He was one of the most successful artists from the Cuzco school (in fact he was the leader of the whole team of painters as per Cuzco standards). Various similarities can be found between the discussed pieces and some wall paintings in the church in Carabuco. The latter group was doubtlessly created by de los Rios around 1684 (Gisbert, de Mesa 1996, p. 198). The Andean arquebusier angels stand out of the common canon in a spectacular manner. Their modern appearance can be a result of the following factors. First of all, those depictions were adressed to native people, for whom firearms, available only to the Spanish, appeared to be especially effective, and, because of their unexplicable operation, nearly magic. Because the celestial forces couldn t be equiped with anything but the best armament possible, firearms in the hands of New World angels should not be surprising. Secondly, during that time there was a widespread manner of using military language in alegories connected to faith (Andrzejewska, Demkowicz 2011, pp ). Such pieces, connecting war and sacral spheres, while
3 Depictions of angels with firearms in the iconography maybe not being main stream, can certainly be called noteworthy. In music, we can point out Al campo sale Maria or El mas augosto campeon villacinco de batalla type songs, contemporary to our paintings and originating from the same Viceroyalty, as good examples. Both are telling about the struggle between the forces of good and evil as if it was an ordinary battle, fought with earthly accessories such as drums, weapons and alike. Other evidence of military thinking in terms of faith can be seen in a series of propaganda depictions of the defense of the eucharist. The central position is occupied by the king of Spain, who, sword in hand and cannons beside, is protecting the monstrance against pagan hordes (fig. 1). In such a context, angels regarded as divine soldiers seem to be a perfectly logic result of a way of seeing the Christian world as an army conducting a war with the evil until the end of time. Depictions of angels in contemporary military outfit from the Cuzco school are generally refered to as angeles arcabuceros (fig. 2), which means arquebus armed angels. Although some of them hold in their hands a banner or a polearm, the ones equipped with a long firearm prevail, thus the general designation of the group (Gisbert, de Mesa 1996, p. 196). But is it correct? The term arquebus is quite broad and ambiguous: in different periods and areas it was used for different armament (Matuszewski 2000, p. 78). To make a long story short, it can be stated that an arquebus is a relatively light, long firearm of comparatively small dimensions, designed to be shot off-hand (ibidem, p. 80; Kwaśniewicz 2004, p. 150; Peterson 2000, p. 13). Apart from a couple exceptions, which should be regarded as curios and an evidence of the ingenuity of the era, this type of weapon was muzzle-loaded and smooth-bored. The time of greatest significance of the arquebus on the battlefields was the 16 th century, especially it s first half. Later on, it was consequently being displaced by the musket a much heavier, more powerful weapon, that needed a special supporting fork for aming and shooting (ibidem, p. 14). Jacob de Gheyn s infantry drill manual dating back to 1607 (first edition) depicts both musketeers and arqubusiers (fig. 3). In fact, despite many approaches to eliminate the arquebus, this type made it through well into the 17 th century alongside with the heavy musket (Lugs 1982, p. 18; Peterson 2000, pp ). There simply was a demand for a lighter, more manueverable and cheaper weapon, not to mention the fact that not every soldier was fit enough to use a more powerful gun. This situation started a process of lightening the musket, so that it could be shot without the fork it was taking over more and more features of the arquebus (handiness), while retaining its own advantages (long range, high energy of the

7 Depictions of angels with firearms in the iconography bullet). This was possible due to the technological progress. The new kind of weapon spread over in the modern European armies of the late 17 th century at that time the Spanish military could not be included into this club (Lugs 1982, p. 216; Matuszewski 2000, p. 85). All our angels in question hold firearms of mediocre length, with a lightly curved buttstock. They appear to be quite light, since none of the celestial soldiers is equipped with a fork. They indeed have features of an arquebus, although one must bear in mind that the depictions date from the late 17 th to early 18 th century, which is the era when the old arquebuses should had been totally replaced by the new, lighter muskets. Such a modern weapon should be a proper armament of the heavenly forces. It wouldn t be hard to recognise a musket of this type in the hands of our angels, especially taking into consideration the stylisation of the artist. However, the firearms from the discussed paintings all have the already obsolete trigger levers and matchlock mechanisms. This could point against the modernized musket, but can be no ultimate proof, since even up-to-date European firearms from that time were furnished from time to time with those simple mechanisms (Peterson 2000, pp ). The dicisive point lays in another pictographical evidence the great painting of Melchora Pérez Holguín, The Arrival of archibishop viceroy Morcillo at Potosi from 1716 (fig. 5). One can see there the whole viceroy s guard corps, and what is especially interesting for us, the soldiers are not uniformly equipped. Some of them hold a pike, some have an old musket with a fork, yet others carry a firearm with no supporting accessory. The shooters keep match cords in their hands, which proves the guns have matchlocks, and each one of their weapons is furnished with a trigger lever. The scene testifies without a doubt, that despite 18 th century uniforms, the corps is organized in an old tercio manner, dating back well to the 16 th century. There is no big surprise about that, since every novelty made it through to the colonies with a huge delay. Moreover, the guards corps was not required to be very up to date as its role was mostly representative. We have all the right to assume that the authors of the angels depictions took pattern from these troops, as they were the only regular unit at that time in the region (not to mention the field army in the distant Chile). Having said all this, we can come to a conclusion that the Andean military angels are most likely armed with an arquebus, as this type of weapon was obviously still very widespread in the Americas as late as the early 18 th century (fig. 6). The way of depicting the angels in the paintings in question reveal strong influence of the already mentioned de Gheyn s manual (figs. 3 4). Some pieces show only a limited resemblance to the Dutch artist s etch-

13 Depictions of angels with firearms in the iconography Fig. 10. Detail of the painting Uriel Dei compared to the detail of Jacob de Gheyn s illustration ings in terms of composition, while others are very similar (Gisbert, de Mesa 1996, p. 198). A couple of works show interesting features in treating of the weapons details. This can confirm the Cuzco school s practice of executing various parts of the paintings by different, often shifting specialists. For example, the Calamarca angels hold arquebuses with heavily stylized, decorative mechanisms. Sometimes it was done in such a manner that we can suspect the painter of being unaware of their way of functioning. On the other hand, in a piece entitled Asiel Timor Dei from the La Paz Museum the depiction of the firearm with a matchlock is very realistic (fig. 7). Its creator must have been well familiar with firearms, and most probably had access to one of them. Another interesting curio can be seen in the work Uriel Dei (fig. 8) the angel is shown while pouring powder upon the firing pan, but... he holds no powder flask in his hand (sic!) (figs. 9 10). An acknowledged artist certainly wouldn t commit such an error. The clothing of our celestial warriors was most probably inspired by the viceroy guards uniforms as already mentioned, it was the only regular military force in the region and the only unit that was richly outfitted. Moreover, the corps function was primarily representative, and the duty itself quite prestigious. There is no surprise that the similarities between the angels portrayal and that of the men from Holguin s painting are undeniable. However, the uniform of the divine soldiers was highly stylized (fig. 11) lavishly puffed and ornamented in accordance to Cuzco school s taste (fig. 12).

16 316 Agata Andrzejewska, Karol Demkowicz We can conclude that the intriguing colonial military angels are another evidence of South America developing in it s own way and at own pace. They testify a great spirit of separateness of the population of the Viceroyalty and their unique way of reception of some far-away intricate doctrine of the new European rulers. It is interesting, that the key to the formal analysis of this series is another great piece of art, Holguin s The Arrival of the archibishop... This case also shows that military equipment and armament can many times point out various interesting details and be a start of a fruitful discussion, even in such delicate fields as history of art. The state of research of the colonial painting, including that of the Viceroyalty of Peru, is far from satisfactory. Our knowledge about the Andean military angels is comparably humble. The cause of this situation is the nationalistic reaction emerging in Latin America. One of its aspects is the marginalization of the colonial era culture as a product of European invasion. Thankfully, this sad picture is slowly changing for better due to a growing interest of American and European scholars. We can only hope that the colonial art will regain its rightful position in the consciousness of those communities tormented by conflicts and identity crises. mgr Agata Andrzejewska Katedra Historii Sztuki Uniwersytet Łódzki Franciszkańska 1/ Łódź mgr Karol Demkowicz Instytut Archeologii Uniwersytet Łódzki Uniwersytecka Łódź Bibliography Sources Gheyn de J De Wapenhandelinghe van Roers, Musketten ende Spiesen.

Streszczenie Przedstawienia aniołów z bronią palną w ikonogr afii Wicekrólestwa Peru Anioły są często podejmowanym tematem w sztuce europejskiej. Podobnie miało się stać w przypadku malarstwa kolonialnego. W hiszpańskich dominiach Wicekrólestwa Peru starą koncepcję zinterpretowano w sposób zupełnie unikatowy; posłańcy niebiescy przedstawieni zostali jako żołnierze uzbrojeni i wyekwipowani na współczesną im modłę. Obrazy te były dziełem malarzy pochodzenia indiańskiego, pracujących w ramach tzw. szkoły cuzqueńskiej. Ten ośrodek sztuki jak mało który stał się prawdziwym kulturowym tyglem w hiszpańskich koloniach. Wojskowe anioły fascynują nie tylko swoją wyjątkową postacią i strojami o barokowo-indiańskim przepychu, lecz także detalami dostarczającymi ciekawych informacji o koloniach w XVII i XVIII w. Jak się bowiem okazuje, broń przez nich dzierżona, choć powinna być nowoczesna, jest przestarzała. Paradoks ten nie dziwi, skoro malarz najprawdopodobniej wzorował się na gwardzistach wicekróla, a nawet oni byli zorganizowani i uzbrojeni w przestarzały sposób.

Looking for setup details to configure Spiceworks to monitor multiple subnets. What are the best resources to accomplish this?
7 Replies
Aug 19, 2011 at 4:31 UTC
The short answer is Yes.
To get the best out of what SW has to offer, you should provide a little more detail. What does your network look like. Is everything LAN based, or do you have remote site. Are these remote sites connected 24x7? How many nodes do you want to monitor... and so on...
If you have a specific configuration in mind we can talk about it...
Aug 19, 2011 at 5:05 UTC
We are connected 24/7 over a Private WAN. The WAN consists of 6 sites, each having their own Gateway. We can perform any other network function (print, login, file copy, etc) between sites. Spiceworks sees other networks (/22's etc) but the Inventory is not reporting all devices on those networks.
Aug 19, 2011 at 5:34 UTC
Depending on the number of nodes at each site and your want speed, you might want to consider setting up remote collectors to funnel local data to your central SW server.
If you look in the logs do you see any error messages during the scans? But depending on the link bandwidth, WMI may be timing out. But that would only be a guess. You WILL get better SW performance if you use remote collectors.
Aug 19, 2011 at 5:43 UTC
Thank you. There's my weekend project! ;-)
Aug 19, 2011 at 5:49 UTC
The other thing that just came to mind was to set your scan speed to slow, fast or normal may not wait long enough in a WAN environment.
What a way to spend a weekend, cheers.
Aug 19, 2011 at 6:01 UTC
Fern Lindsay is an IT service provider.
I am running spiceworks over about eleven subnets with no problem. I also run a bunch of other tools but spiceworks has very good inventory and notification if something goes down.
Aug 19, 2011 at 8:11 UTC
Remote collectors are your way to go if you want to scan things over a wan.
here are 2 articals on how to do it
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.

2013 WJC Preview: Stacked Canadian squad appears to be gold favorite
As the NHL lockout marches through its 14th week and the talks surrounding a new collective bargaining agreement move from the negotiating table to the courtroom, perhaps no one has breathed a larger sigh of relief than the brass at Hockey Canada.
Though the loss of NHL hockey and the continuous tangle of proposals along with threats of lawsuits and union decertification have been frustrating for everyone involved, Hockey Canada finds themselves in the fortunate position of having all available players at their disposable for the 2013 World Junior Championship.
When it comes to the World Juniors and Canada, the expectation is simple: nothing short of a gold medal will do.… read more

Why: What can we say about Lavasioth? it looks like a fish with big ugly legs poking out the bottom, Plesioth was able to make this look good only because of his massive wings and dorsal fin, this is my second piscine to be revamped (check out my Plesioth, everyone seems to like it), so naturally to make it not seem like a total copy of the Plesioth, here is the all new Lavasioth.
note: the position in the picture is of it swimming in lava, not on dry land.
Whats new:
- If you look at the bottom right corner you will notice that it is in the Psuedowyvern stature, I chose this not to be a rip-off of the Frontier monster (can't remeber its name), but to make a point; lava is not a liquid, if anything was ever gonna swim in lava, it is gonna have to be pretty damn strong.
- The idea I have for all piscines is that they get dehydrated its their gameplay element, in the Plesioths case, it goes from a 2 legged stance, to a tigrex like stance, on all 4. As the Lavasioth lives in lava the effect is reversed, it gets hydrated when this occurs it moves from a 4 legged stance to a leviathon like stance,dragging its belly across the floor most notably like the Hapurabokka. This is intended to add variety to the fight.
- When it comes to living in lava the Lavasioth is not anything special, Agnaktor, Gravios, Uragaan all can move freely in lava, so the way my Lavasioth becomes different is that it is not a fire wyvern, but a steam wyvern, its breath attacks consist of firing pressurized steam at the hunter, much like the Kushala Daora, the steam comes in 2 parts, the center of the blast glows a faint orange and inflicts fire damage and fire blight, whilst the outside is black and can either send the hunter flying or cause wind press depending on how close the hunter is.
- So what excuse do I have for it to be able to use steam? as lava is very thick its gonna take more than wagging its tail to be able to move, so you will notice along its back are these spines, these spines have holes in them that fires air out, to push it along in the lava, when fighting it can expell a great amount of steam out of its body like the Gravios does with its sleep gas, the lavasioth does this at the risk of getting hydrated quicker.
- Its head and back spines can be broken, dorsal fins can be cut twice and be carved.
Hope you like, if you have any revamp ideas do tell me, plus check out my fan fiction, chibis and other revamps, you won't be dissapointed, remember HONEST OPINIONS ONLY!

Search Continues for Missing Snowboarder in Nevada County
The search continues for a missing snowboarder in Nevada County.
Captain Jeff Pettitt with the Nevada County Sheriff's Office says teams from Nevada and Placer Counties are using Snowcats, cross country skiing, and snow mobiles to find 25-year-old Abraham Finkelstein.
Pettitt says, 'At this point it's slow going because of the weather that's up there - it's actively snowing up there, it's windy, temperatures are low so that effects how long your team can stay out in the weather.'
Finkelstein and his father went snowboarding Monday afternoon near Donner Summit. The two got separated.
Captain Pettitt adds, 'His father made it out to the trail head where they parked their vehicle, however, his son never came out. At which point, he called 911 and we initiated a search and rescue.'

Fantastic location with being close to Queenstown airport and other amenities. Awesome view of Lake Wakatipo. And we loved going for walks down Frankton track. A very clean, tidy and well maintained property. Thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Wish we had stayed an extra couple of days just to enjoy the view and the apartment.

Fluxweed is an ingredient used in potion making.
Fluxweed is used to brew the following potion:
- Behind the willow root in Book 2, Chapter 5, Moment 2 .
- It is collectible after the car has backed up from the willow. Some people appear to have trouble collecting it; this is most likely due to the size of their browser/screen. Making the browser full-screen and/or changing the screen resolution should solve this problem. Size 1280x800 works. Double click until the car backs up and you can collect the fluxweed.
- Also, you can't pick up the fluxweed untill the Whomping Willow is done beating up your car. After the rear-view mirror falls off and after the screen zooms out, you should be able to pick it up.
- If you cannot move the car, look at the far end of the screen, on the right of the steering. You should see a faint outline of a weed which you can click on to collect it.
- In front of a wooden crate in the third layer in Book 3, Chapter 16, Moment 1.
- On the left side of the Whomping Willow in Book 3, Chapter 17, Moment 1. (You have to zoom in first)
- Book 7, Chapter 4, Moment 1: "The Decoy Harrys". Once you zoom in, it is near the back building.

hardwrk is a young company of Hanover, which concentrated on enriching products by Apple with some practical and functional details.
Besides purely technical solutions, such as the SATA3-Adaptor-Kit, which transforms the MacBook Pro into an SSD rocket, simple helpers such as the MagSafe Keeper, for the Apple MagSafe 2 Converter to be fixed, and practical eye-catchers and one-hand iPhone 5 docks, hardwrk also offers more solutions for all Apple enthusiast.
Less for everyone than more for themselves, hardwrk started working by chance: "The MacBook Pro is the perfect working tool for us. We focussed on the topic "second hardware/SSD in the MacBook Pro" and transformed our MacBook Pros with SSD for Max OS X and HDD for the user's data, because we were annoyed by the prize, the size and weight of big SSDs, hard to buy. We found this really helpful and were impressed, so that we pressed our experience in the shape of hardwrk SSD/HDD-adaptor-kit into one product."

Sony Europe's Image Sensing Solutions division has announced the first in a new family of ultra-small OEM camera modules. Sony will initially target security and industrial applications and the modules' small size and high performance specifications also makes it ideal for creating wearable sports cameras, videoconferencing, videophone and low vision applications.
The FCB-MA130 module delivers full HD (1080p, 30fps) video and 13 megapixel still images from a 18x16.5x10.3mm, 2.2g housing. It incorporates a progressive scan CMOS (YCbCr422) image sensor with 1/25s-1/5000s, 24-step shutter speed and a high quality, 53o (movie mode, 58o still) lens using a piezo actuator module to deliver a focus range of 100mm to 8 with auto focus.
Sony has also enabled adaptive tone reproduction, real time move stabilisation and face detection to enable the system to be easily implemented in security and industrial applications.
"We've always placed reliability, image quality, sensitivity and long production life at the heart of Sony OEM cameras and this is no different," said Stéphane Clauss of Sony ISS. "To create this we've combined everything we know about lens design, manufacturing and sensor technology to deliver a product that opens up new markets."
The FCB Micro FCB-MA130 also delivers both automatic and manual focus, a range of exposure controls and white balances, 3DNR noise reduction, a 60 step, 16x digital zoom and ATR wide dynamic range. It is operational at -5oC to +50oC (storage temperature -20oC to +60oC) and in light conditions over 4lx. The device typically consumes 700mW in movie mode and and can be powered from the mains and batteries.
The module has entered mass production and are on display throughout Ifsec 2013 in Sony's Birmingham NEC meeting booth, 5/80.

Hard times are getting even harder and it turns out that all the talk about rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer is definitely true.
For the first time in more than four decades, the middle class is no longer a majority in the United States. They are "falling behind financially" and have been outnumbered by the richest and poorest, according to data released by the Pew Research Center.
The analysis by the Washington, D.C.-based think-tank shows populations in the highest and lowest income brackets grew significantly over the last few years, subsequently pulling adults out of the middle class and in opposite directions.
The beginning of the year saw 120.8 million adults living in middle-income households, compared with 121.3 million Americans living in lower and upper income homes combined.
"In 2015, 20% of American adults were in the lowest-income tier, up from 16% in 1971," the researchers wrote. "On the opposite side, 9% are in the highest-income tier, more than double the 4% share in 1971. At the same time, the shares of adults in the lower-middle or upper-middle income tiers were nearly unchanged."
Moreover, the median earnings for all income groups have improved since 1970s, but it was the highest earners who enjoyed income gains the most. Wages for top earners rose 47 percent between 1970 and 2014, while middle-income workers only saw an improvement of 34 percent.
During this time, the earnings of low-income Americans rose about 28 percent.

However, despite the improved wages, it was the Great Recession's crippling of the U.S. labor market that exhausted workers' wallets.
"Although 2014 incomes are generally higher than in 1970, all households experienced a lengthy period of decline in the 21st century thanks to the 2001 recession and the Great Recession of 2007-09," the Pew report explained.
Less than half (49.9 percent) of American households are now considered middle-income. The survey defines middle-class as "adults with an annual income of about $42,000 to $126,000 for a household of three, in 2014 dollars."
Long story short, the 29 percent of Americans considered low-income and 21 percent classified as high-income now roughly equal the middle class that has been the majority and labor market's backbone for decades.
"The state of the American middle class is at the heart of the economic platforms of many presidential candidates ahead of the 2016 election," researches Rakesh Kochhar and Richard Fry wrote in the report.

this family run hotel was excellent, the staff were really helpful and freindly. when we discovered a leaking pipe in the bathroom our room was changed, we had breakfast and went out for the day when we came back the our lugage had been taken to the new room we didnt need to do a thing, excellent service, well done hotel arosa.
The personell is wonderful. It has been great to stay there.
Very efficient and hospitable.Good rooms and bathrooms, well thought through and everything is on the right place. Good location.
Very convenient for trams into the heart of the city, breakfast was more than adequate and the staff were very helpful.. A bit cold in the rooms, but the temperature outside was well below zero!!
The hotel provides a second home for business guests
Friendly staff. Great breakfast. Provided extra pillows or anything else we needed. Very helpful. Elevator too small (could not fit wheelchair) . in canada we use bed sheets. The hotel had covers for the mattress, pillows and the duvet, but no bed sheets. I understand that is the norm there.
very nice hotel, good staff, very clean, location is super and quite, free internet, free parking. i like it, i will be back soon
Staff very friendly and customer orientated; Invoice was ready when I came down, Taxi wa ready to go as expected *** means not mandatorily very quiet room
personal nature of staff, small well run private hotel
I loved the hotel. First excellent point is its location in the most safe and i believe, the most beautiful area of Dusseldorf. Secondly I found my room very personal and tastefully decorated and staff was extremely nice and helpful and spoke good English. Rarely I had a hotel with free parking and free internet lately. Breakfast was great and staff member prepared a take-away for me. Very good value for money! I highly recommend the place to business women travelling alone as well as to leisure travelers.

Rising Japanese star Kei Nishikori demolished American number one Mardy Fish 6-3, 6-2 in the quarter-finals of the US Clay Court Championship on Friday.
The 21-year-old Nishikori did not face a single break point in the match as he ousted the top seed from the tournament in stunning fashion.
Nishikori will face Pablo Cuevas of Uruguay in Saturday's semi-finals. Cuevas beat third-seeded Guillermo Garcia-Lopez 1-6, 7-6 (7/4), 6-3.
World number 61 Nishikori hit one ace and five double faults but won 96 percent of first serve points in his first career meeting against Fish.
"I was hitting good returns," Nishikori said. "That's one of the things I did great today. I played good enough to beat him and played good clay court tennis."
"I don't think he played great today, he was missing a lot," Nishikori added.
Despite recently being crowned US number one, Fish has had a mixed year, making two semis in Delray Beach and Memphis but losing in the second round of both the Australian Open and at Indian Wells.
"Being the number one American, it's a responsibility every time you step on the court. People would say 'I'm going to go and watch so and so today and have a pretty good experience doing it,"' Fish said.
"That's a responsibility hopefully I'll have for a little bit and do a better job of it than I did tonight."
Qualifier Ivo Karlovic of Croatia hammered 24 aces in beating fourth-seeded John Isner 7-6 (7/2), 6-7 (2/7), 7-6 (11/9) in a match lasting more than three hours.
The 6ft 10in Karlovic - the tallest player on the ATP Tour - usually towers over his opponents but not this time. He and the 6ft 9in Isner blasted 47 total aces between them.
"Now I know what it's like to play me," Karlovic said. "It's really not easy. I was trying to stay confident even if he was acing me left and right. I tried to stay calm and in the end, I don't know what to say. I was a little luckier. It was a close match."
Karlovic clinched the win with a forehand that clipped the line.
Isner challenged but the ruling stood.
"I knew it was in because I saw it skid," Karlovic said.
Ryan Sweeting of the United States reached his first career semi-final with a 3-6, 6-3, 6-1 victory over Teymuraz Gabashvili.

Every few months or so another behind-the-scenes video from Universal's prequel to The Thing slips online and makes us want to set our pubes ablaze with great fury over how cool this movie could have been. This is one of those times.
Mind you, these fine bits of practical FX work were unfortunately scrapped for "more realistic" looking CGI. For more on those poor decisions, read Michael Felsher's editorial on The Thing premake and my review of The Thing Blu-ray.
StudioADI has shared another previously unseen behind-the-scenes video. The torso puppet you see below was built to show Henrick's legs kicking as he's being swallowed by the "Thing" under the shack.
The videos below the torso puppet, which we've posted before but you might have missed, showcase two animatronic pilot aliens. "The mummified Pilot and the Thing having replicated itself as one of the alien crew members. In the story originally, the Thing needed to become one of these aliens in order to fly the ship buried under the ice (note the bio-mechanical connections implanted in the creature's back)," they explain.
"ADI designed the character, built a limited animatronic puppet, and performed it on set."
"The third Pilot was going to be a digital version of this creature, but due to a story change, it was never executed. The mummified Pilot was covered over with a digital energy effect, and we designed a new character, the Sanders-Thing, which was realized digitally."
Watch this latest video and the others below. Then get angry and punch the wall.

Welcome to the ineedhits Search Engine Marketing blog, where we share the latest search engine and online marketing news, releases, industry trends and great DIY tips and advice.
Google has unveiled a small change to its policy for agencies that manage AdWords campaigns, but this "little" change could have a profound impact on the industry and advertisers.
Until this point, agencies offering PPC management services have had little in the way of regulation on budget and management cost transparency.
Under the new guidelines outlined by Google, PPC management companies will now be required to be upfront about budget spending and the exact results from campaigns:
If you work with another company to manage your AdWords campaigns, you should be able to find out how much of your advertising budget (cost) was spent on AdWords, how many times your ads appeared (impressions) and how many times users clicked on your ads (clicks).
ineedhits are proud to one of the Google AdWords companies that already provide this level of transparency for their clients. It helps them understand budget allocation and more importantly gives them an honest representation of their campaign success.
However there are quite a few operators in the industry that will be forced to review their reporting and cost management practices.
Companies such as ReachLocal and Yodle have received criticism for their lack of transparency – with advertisers unsure exactly how much of their budget is going towards Google clicks vs management costs.
Managing small budget PPC campaigns is definitely challenging – ineedhits can vouch for that; but it's critical that clients see where their money is being spent.
Google's new policy will ensure all small business advertisers have access to this level of campaign transparency. While I welcome the forced transparency, it doesn't provide answers to all the important questions and issues?
What do you think about the change:
I am surprised that this has not been done for clients as a 'normal' business accountability practise. I am even more surprised that any business would simply give another business 'carte-Blanche' to do PPC in this way without properly accounting for the money spent on their behalf.
But I also see Google has had to do this to protect their own product!
By Jan - August 10, 2010
I would be interested in seeing what companies do provide better accountability tracking than ReachLocal. To my knowledge, no one provides a more detailed report and allows clients to access this report 24/7.
By J - August 10, 2010
Every company deserves to make a profit, if a company with expertise in ADwords has to charge fees for doing this why is it anyone's business. Here at Yodle we make a 75% markup on the click but we get results.
By Robert - August 10, 2010
I can tell you from being in the on-line marketing field that it is quite the norm to see anywhere from 60% – 90% markup.
By Josh - August 10, 2010
Josh, Robert, and J,
If you are charging 60%-90% uplift on the clicks, and you are confident you are still providing value to the customer… why not disclose it to them?

The style of these are great but I just can't put my feet into the shoes w/o having to take off my socks. They are wide enough and length is just right. But the throat/vamp of the shoes are too tight/narrow. It's very uncomfortable and I don't think they will give in after I wear them for a while. I simply don't want to hurt my feet so I returned them to the store.

2008-09-30 at 12:39:19 pm #20502Obama ahead in four key states as voters fret over the economy
presidential hopeful Barack Obama is ahead in four battleground states,
according to a Quinnipiac University poll out Tuesday that suggested
Obama could be benefiting from turmoil on Wall Street.Republican White
House rival John McCain has not been able to wrestle the banner of
change from Obama, and voters in three of the four states see Obama as
better on economic issues, the polls showed."With a lousy economy, an
unpopular war and an even less popular Republican president, it's
difficult to find voters who don't want change," said Peter Brown,
assistant director of the Quinnipiac's University's Polling Institute.
Colorado, Obama leads McCain by 49 to 45 percent. Last month, McCain
was ahead one percentage point in Colorado, 47-46 percent, Quinnipiac
In Michigan, Obama leads McCain 48 to 44 percent, compared to 46-42 percent on July 24.
In Minnesota, Obama is holding on to a two percentage point lead of 47 to 45 percent, compared to 46 to 44 percent in late July.
Wisconsin, Obama leads by 49 to 42 percent, although his advantage has
narrowed from 50 to 39 percent in July."The Wall Street meltdown while
these polls were in the field probably fed the public desire for change
and seemed to benefit Senator Obama," Brown said.Obama is widely
perceived as the candidate of change in the four key states, by 19 to
24 point margins, Quinnipiac said.
Voters in all four states
named the economy as the top issue in the November 4 election and said
Obama has a better handle on it, except in Minnesota where voters were
equally divided on which candidate best understands the economy (45 to
45 percent).By contrast, voters were convinced McCain has a better
grasp on foreign policy, by margins of 34 percent and higher in all
four states.Voters in the four states view the running mates –
Delaware Senator Joe Biden for the Democrats and Alaska Governor Sarah
Palin for the Republicans — as good choices.
But they would
rather see Biden as president, by margins of four to nine
percent.Quinnipiac questioned 1,301 likely voters in Minnesota between
September 14-21; 1,313 in Wisconsin; 1,364 in Michigan; and 1,418 in
Colorado. The polls had a 2.7 margin of error except Colorado, where
the margin of error was 2.6 percent.The polls were conducted in
partnership with The Wall Street Journal and washingtonpost.com, the
university said.

Considering the record-breaking heat wave in the western United States, we were unanimous: during our Bay Area visit, Katia and I would spend some time at the beach. So I booked a hotel walking distance to the Pacific, and voilà: crashing waves and sand under our feet. Lovely.
As it turned out, not only did we stay sufficiently cool, by the time we got back to the hotel after an orange-and-pink sunset, we needed to warm ourselves by taking a hot shower, eating Chinese take-out, and crawling underneath the covers before watching home-renovating episodes on the Home and Garden Network. It was quite a contrast from the day before when it was 103 degrees in the east Bay and Stockton, and my dad had suggested jumping in the swimming pool at 10:00 at night to cool off. (I passed.)
In fact, the next morning was overcast and cool enough that both of us passed on doing any surfing. But we did go for a nice stroll, chased hundreds of birds and then each other, and watched youngsters do some sort of boot camp on the beach—all scenes that could have made for a nice remake of Chariots of Fire.
