- Teenage Boy Museum - The museum that Pearl wanted to vacation at in the episode "Mr. Krabs Takes a Vacation." Right after she got there, the museum got demolished.

The location is right across from the Bikini Bottom Mint.
- Flabby Patty Shack - The Flabby Patty Shack is a dinning place that is the rival to The Krusty Krab. The only food they sell is the rival to the Krabby Patty, the Flabby Patty. It was really a trick by SpongeBob to get Plankton and Mr. Krabs to work together so they would be friends again. It only appeared in "The Other Patty." It was probably demolished or shut down after this episode, as it is never seen again.
- Stinky Burgers - Stinky Burgers was a small store, with an average look. It had a metal roof of a low quality and the sign was orange with a bold yellow "Stinky," and a black Burgers text. Next to that was a dried out clam that was spouting out a smelly, fake breath. It had a small foghorn coming out from the left side, an ordering window and a door that only Stinky was able to enter. Inside Stinky Burgers was a kitchen, although nothing was shown inside. You did not eat inside though. Outside the cooking area were seats and chairs with an umbrella, shielding bad sun or rain. They were not of great quality. There was also an overfilled trash can on the right. The whole area was surrounded by a very low brick wall. The fact that Stinky did not put more work and care into his business is surprising because of his success, fortune, and "love for the kids".
- Rippers Reef - As seen in "A Life in a Day", where SpongeBob, Patrick, and Larry destroy the island on a giant bow and arrow from crashing on it.
Unknown Establishments
- Tony - It is unknown to its purpose but It was seen in "SpongeBob LongPants", when SpongeBob was talking to his fancy friends.
From Other Time Periods
Basic Prehistoric Era
Basic prehistoric Bikini Bottom appeared in "SB-129" and "Ugh." Features a jungle area and tall grass.
Advanced Prehistoric Era
Advanced prehistoric Bikini Bottom appeared in "Ugh." The water is very murky. A forested area features tall grass and trees with vines. Only three known structures exist: SpongeGar's Ancient Pineapple (contains a bed on the floor, with a rock on a bone shelf as an alarm clock. A cave painting of SpongeGar jellyfishing is on the wall); Squog's Ancient Easter Island Head (A key is required to get inside; it has two floors, the main floor has a rock with two thick sticks (one harder than the other) and the other floor is the art gallery where Squog painted a little bit); Patar's Ancient Rock.
Medieval Times
Medieval Bikini Bottom appeared in Dunces and Dragons. The water has a different coloration, shaded pale yellow.
- King Krabs' castle - The castle. It Looks like the Krusty Krab, but is white. Where King Krabs and Princess Pearl resides. Contains a large dungeon area, a throne room with a guillotine, and the prophecy wall above the throne.
- Planktonamor's tower - The tower where the evil wizard Planktonamor and his wife Karen lives. Contains a spiral staircase.
- Village - The main village area. Contains schools, hospitals, a hotel and the following:
- Ye Olde Bowling Alley - Seen briefly in "Dunces and Dragons."
- Ye Olde Folks Home - Seen briefly in "Dunces and Dragons."
- Farmland - Farmland spread out over the kingdom land.
- Armor Shop - A store that sells and makes armor.
- Viking King Palace - As seen in, "Dear Vikings".
41st Century
In 41st Century Bikini Bottom, everything is painted with chrome as seen in "SB-129". The future Krusty Krab was seen, which contains a normal kitchen, only everything is chrome. A can opener room (down hall and to the left) and a Time Machine (down hall and to the right) are featured as well. The Time Machine is actually pink and green with a Tiffany-style light fixture, and has a lever labeled "past" and "future", with a key and three buttons to the right.
From Other Dimensions
- Unknown Dimension (possibly the space-time continuum or even the Void
This dimension features multi-colored squares, in different places which disappear when lifted, and it comes with a blank white background. Mysterious voices lurk around and copy words that are said (while spelling them out using goofy fonts), and it is hard to get out as running around here will take you back to where you started, as inspired by The Matrix. However, the time machine is always right under where you stand (revealed in SB-129). The only known way to access this place is to destroy the time-switch activator in a time machine. Squidward is the only known character to have gone to this dimension.
Parallel Bikini Bottom
An opposite version of Bikini Bottom; the only known inhabitants are parallel versions of SpongeBob and Patrick. Parallel SpongeBob has been seen in several episodes, including "Wet Painters" and "Something Smells," while Parallel Patrick has only been seen in "Rule of Dumb" and "Roller Cowards." There might be a Parallel Squidward, as shown in "Squidward in Clarinet Land", however, he might just have been a fantasy created by Squidward
The 9th Dimension
A dimension mentioned in "Big Pink Loser" and in a video game. Not much is known about this dimension, except that there are giant monkey men out to destroy it. Patrick's lifelong goal is to find a way to access this dimension, defeat the giant monkey men, and save its inhabitants. It probably doesn't exist, though.
The 8th Dimension
A dimension also mentioned in "Big Pink Loser." Like the 9th dimension, not much is known about this dimension, except that creatures are trying to destroy it. The creatures are known as the little monkey men, which are similar to the giant monkey men in the 9th dimension, but much smaller. Patrick mentioned this when SpongeBob told him that trying to defeat the giant monkey men and saving the 9th dimension would be a little hard in "Big Pink Loser." Like the 9th dimension, the 8th dimension probably doesn't exist, either.

The history of color healing goes back over 5,000 years, from the ancient Egyptians, Chinese, Native American's, and Tibetans to present day practitioners and healers.
The ancient Egyptians wore amulets of colored stones. They wore red to treat diseases and building strength, yellow to create happiness, and green to increase Fertility.
Today we use blue light on Newborn babies with jaundice in our hospitals.
We know that some prisons use pink rooms to calm the more violent criminal. Also, many police stations use blue rooms for their interrogations, as the suspect is more apt to tell the truth in a blue room.Basic Color/Crystal Therapy Practitioner Home Study Course – 27 modules – 300 hours – 9 Payments of $65.45
This course was developed by professionals in the Holistic Health Care field trained in the following modalities: Aromatherapy, Advanced/Master Aromatherapy, Reiki, Tuning Fork Therapy, Color and Crystal Therapy, Homeopathy, Herbalism, and Advanced Reflexology.
Each color vibrates at a specific, individual frequency, as do the glands and organs of the body.
Each color corresponds to a specific area of the body. Color vibrates true to frequency. It never deviates.
Color is like a vitamin. If you had a Vitamin C deficiency you would increase your intake of Vitamin C. If you had an excess of Vitamin C then you would decrease your intake of Vitamin C. Color works the same way.
As an example, if you need to Lose Weight, then increase the color blue in your life. Do you get Migraine Headaches? Then increase the color red or indigo in your life. What about depression? You can decrease the color indigo.
You can positively affect many areas of your life and health, through Color and Color Therapy.
Quartz Crystals have been used since ancient times as powerful healing objects and Meditation tools, and to make medicinal elixirs. Wise adepts have long known about their qualities and have used Crystals for powerful talismans and amulets. Throughout history people have valued the beauty of Quartz Crystals and have used them for ornamental decoration. References to Crystals are found in both the Old and New Testament, and in many other sacred teachings throughout the world.
Crystals have their own particular vibration of a precise and measurable intensity. This vibration attunes itself to human vibration better than any other gem or mineral. Quartz crystal is used to amplify, clarify and store energy. When you create a thought, you can amplify and clarify it by using a crystal. Quartz has long been recognized for its ability to produce electrical impulses. (Pressure on Quartz crystal generates a minute electrical charge called piezo-electricity.)
You can learn how to handle and work with Crystals to heal yourself, others, and the Earth. Crystals have long been revered for use in magick, for psychic development, and to see into the "hidden dimensions" that permeate physical reality. It is said that crystal has the ability to rebroadcast energy from the Universal Mind so your "inner self" can pick it up, granting you heightened perception. A crystal is a focus for this knowledge and help, and it magnifies and transmits psychic energies and healing powers.
Why Healing With Color and Crystals? It is a safe nontoxic and effective alternative for healing.It is highly recommended that you also purchase the Basic Anatomy and Physiology Course with the Basic Color and Crystal Therapy Practitioner Course! If you do take both courses, you will earn an advanced diploma in Color and Crystal Therapy.
All graduates of an Alternative Healing Academy home study course will receive a 20% discount off an AHHA Practitioner Membership, if they meet qualifying criteria and join within six months of their graduation date.
Upon successful completion of this course (with a score of 80% or higher), 2 completed Color/Crystal case histories, and a total of 25 hours of crystal/color therapy practice logged, you will have earned the title of Color and Crystal Therapy Practitioner (CCTP) and will receive a beautiful Diploma, suitable for framing.
If you choose to also take the Basic Anatomy and Physiology course, upon successful completion of both courses you will be an Advanced Color and Crystal Therapy Practitioner (CCTP).

WAYNE – Alex's Army – a Relay for Life team of about 25 Batavia High School and Marmion Academy seniors – wants to complete its participation in the American Cancer Society event in June by reaching $100,000 in total funds raised over its six-year history.
A holiday reception this weekend at Dunham Castle will help the team reach its goal.
"We wanted to go out in style," said Susan Clingen, mother of one of the team members.
Alex's Army is named after Alex Kintz, a Batavia eighth-grader who died of bone cancer in 2009. His friends formed the team when he was diagnosed, Clingen said.
She said the team had other fundraisers throughout the years, such as a three-on-three basketball tournament. This year, Alex's Army approached Baird & Warner Real Estate after learning Dunham Castle was for sale.
Leslie Ebersole, the listing agent with the bank-owned property, said she has turned down requests from others wanting to use the 1885 structure, but she liked the proposal from Alex's Army.
"It's just a nice, small event to bring something good out of a number of unfortunate circumstances," she said.
The Mark Dunham family built the 12,000-square-foot residence and lived in it for many years, Ebersole said. In the 1930s, the home was divided into apartments, and private owners have attempted to restore it to a single-family home since the 1970s. She noted it has been bank-owned since April.
Because Ebersole only shows the home to serious buyers, Clingen said, this weekend's event is a good opportunity for those curious about the property to tour it.
"This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Clingen said.
Tickets are $30 or $25 for seniors and are available for times between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Buy them at www.dunhamcastletour.com or at the door.
Visitors can tour the first floor and may see the second and third floors as conditions permit, Ebersole said.
A local historian and docents will be available to answer questions, and musicians will perform throughout the day, Clingen said.
Clingen, an interior decorator, has staged the castle's first floor with furnishings provided by the Fox Valley Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Aurora.
"Some of the rooms are very true to the period," she said, noting photographs of the original furnishings are similar to those she used.

Our carpet "Parquet" has been chosen as a finalist in the 5th Iberoamerican Design Bienal (BID16). We invite you to attend to the exhibition organized by Dimad at Matadero Madrid, from November 21st until February 2017.
We are optimistic that our house for the TEC of Monterrey will be certified LEED Gold. Energy efficiency has been a priority in our design from the very beginning. The house is half-buried to benefit from the earth's thermal inertia and a series of shady courtyards generate microclimates that help maintain a comfortable temperature. Besides providing for generous cross ventilation, the house is oriented so that solar incidence is optimized. Canopies and vertical screens protect façade openings from excessive insolation, while on the roof photovoltaic panels capture solar radiation and shade the building mass below.Read more

Josep Bohigas Talk
Belén Moneo and Jeff Brock participated in a round-table discussion on prefabricated buildings on April 7 th in Madrid, organized by Sergio Baragaño (barchitects) and moderated by Marisa Santamaría. Architecture is possibly the discipline most committed to industry and technology; searching for efficiency and savings in the constructive process, we support standardized production systems. Taking advantadge of our experience designing a house of minimum dimensions, we sought to break free of the language of the container-box, seeking a versatile solution while still observing the constraints imposed by the need to transport the house from factory to site.
New product design
Our Sofa SONIA D, with neat clear lines and intense color, has been selected for the Exhibition Producto Fresco 2016, opening Wed. June 15th in Madrid.
ICON is the new collection from ECUS Sleep S.L.U of armchairs, sofas and sofa-beds featuring striking fabrics, elegant shapes and fabulous designs.
Refurbishment of a courtyard in the historical City of Santo Domingo
The developer and architecture connaisseur, Claudio Suarez Tarrado, has given us the opportunity to work on his project "Casa Velázquez". Our participation is focused on the refurbishment of pre-existing elements, built in different periods and with different methods, harmonizing the building group by applying a unique architectural language. MONEO BROCK will be responsible for selecting finishes. Refurbishment is a fascinating exercise that, together with urban consolidation, constitutes architecture's principal mode of action within the historical city's fabric.
Nominated with the chimney Articulare
The Articulare chimney designed by Moneo Brock for DAE Chimeneas has been nominated for the Delta Awards 2016. The Delta Prizes celebrate superior quality design, highlighting its importance as a driver of an industrial economy and its fundamental role as an expression of our social and cultural values. Behind every design object is the work of several professionals who have dutifully considered the final user and the manufacturing process.

Connected to the foyer of an elegant luxury hotel, the Café de la Reina or "BUR-BU-JA-JA" adds a colorful and casual note to the complex. A cafeteria during the day, the space transforms into a sophisticated cocktail bar at night, the patrons immersed in iridescent aquatic colors.
A long curved green bar runs through the space, while "seaweed" camouflages the curtain wall and the mundane view of the city beyond, dissolving it into small fragments of an organic, aquatic world. Smoothly curved walls with reflecting belts, circular benches and round tables create a sensual atmosphere where space and movement interact.

The Casa TEC 205 is located very close to the Chipinque ecological park, an urban landscape dominated by the Sierra Madre, omnipresent backdrop to the city of Monterrey. This house is the first prize in a raffle organized every year by the Technological University of Monterrey to raise funds for its students.
The house design follows a number of complementary motives. The first, it could be said, was to preserve four large extant trees on the site, three walnuts and a trueno. In a context where house developments often raze all remnants of a prior life on a site, we decided to not just preserve these trees, but to make them part of the project. Since the house occupies approximately half of the site, and because the trees are distributed across its slope, the house necessarily surrounds and frames them. Now embedded in the house, the trees definitively characterize the spaces they inhabit.
The second motive was to open up the public spaces to the sky and the views, and to maximize the area of green space in those parts of the site not occupied by the building's footprint. Because the land slopes steeply down from the entry level we were able to invert the conventional arrangement, placing the bedroom floor below the entry floor instead of above. This has various advantages. The bedrooms take advantage of the earth's thermal mass, bringing natural freshness to the house and lowering cooling loads during the many months of high temperatures in Monterrey. This arrangement allows the more public floor to enjoy the better views that it's higher position affords, and provides direct access to the garden for all the bedrooms.
A final consequence of this arrangement is that the outdoor public areas, the pool and grill and outdoor entertaining space, is shifted off the ground plane and onto the roof. The roof terrace is accessible directly from the street entry, from the more private breakfast terrace off the family room, and from inside the house by way of the main stair. It is conceived as a large exterior room, delimited by walls and windows that frame the fantastic views of the Monterrey mountains.
A third motive was that each major interior space of should enjoy a direct connection to its own corresponding outdoor space, be it a garden, a patio or a terrace. By this means, each room is associated with a different landscape, giving it a unique character and an individual light, be it reflected, direct or filtered. In order to gather the outdoor spaces into the project, a series of large wall planes intersect in the house's center and project into the surrounding outdoor space, creating large surfaces that run continuously between the interior and the exterior spaces of the house. Rather than create an architecture of discreet closed volumes, this constructivist assembly allows the walls to be read as independent, plastic elements, their transgression of the building enclosure effectively blurring the distinction between inside and outside space. Having always admired the use of color in Mexico, from its vernacular architecture to that of the masters Luis Barragán and Ricardo Legorreta, we applied strong colors to these walls not only because we typically use color in our work, but as recognition and homage to this great heritage as well.
In the interior of the house, the color has been the protagonist again. The pigments applied to walls run inside and outside, emphasizing their autonomy and determining the character of each space. In some rooms, we have used vibrant wallpapers that create murals to provide color and design. In others we have placed Mexican tiles with geometric patterns and bright colors.
We have chosen furniture designed by leading international designers and prestigious brands with other more generic but equally beautiful pieces. For example, in the living room there are two sofas by Patricia Urquiola designed for Kettal and a Polder sofa by Hella Jongerius for Vitra. The large pendant lamp was designed by Arik Levy for VIbia, while the TamTam floor lamp was designed by Fabien Dumas for Marset. Two of the seats, the Slow Chairs, were designed by the Bouroullec brothers for Vitra,
Some of the products included with the house were designed by Moneo Brock, including the colorful, geometric carpets and the "PlexiJazz" screen of translucent acrylic and colored vinyl, which receives visitors in the entrance hall and establishes the general character of the interior design. The large carpet derived from the herringbone pattern of wooden boards in a parquet floor is our design, as is the loveseat Sonia D, made for Ecus.
In its very conception, the project incorporates bioclimatic measures to minimize its ecological impact. In Monterrey, the largest climactic energy loads occur in the cooling season, when high temperatures mix with high humidity to make a very uncomfortable atmosphere. The heating season is essentially non-existent.
The several patios with their mature trees create a cool and pleasant microclimates, offering natural light and clean air to the interior rooms. Besides the dappled shade offered by the trees, the house interior is protected from excessive insolation by a combination of exterior shutters on the windows to the east, vertical screens located to the side of the windows to the west and horizontal eaves over them to the south. The sun is in this way allowed to enter directly only a few hours each day in the cooler months, and never in summer. In addition, the windows are placed so as to take advantage of the prevailing east-west winds, inducing natural cross-ventilation.
The location of the bedrooms on the lower level, against one-story tall retaining wall allows them to take advantage of the stable, cool temperature of the earth's mass. The bedrooms are exposed to the garden facing northeast, the optimal orientation for these rooms.
The location of the pool on the rooftop takes advantage of the continuous processes of evaporation and nighttime to maintain a cool thermal mass in this location. The roof, in addition to having a thick layer of thermal insulation, is protected from excessive overheating by pergolas and sunshades.
To complete the passive design we have treated carefully the potential energy loss via thermal bridges, insisting on the continuity of an adequate layer of insulation and of course all windows incorporate thermal breaks and double glazing. Inside the house, we selected low-energy appliances and electric lighting systems based on LED technology.

This sustainable proposal seeks to preserve and revitalize the ecosystem of the River Tajo, recuperating this natural area for the enjoyment of all citizens of Talavera pointing out the possibility this Tajo Natural Park, beginning in Talavera, can grow, adding territories and cities in such a way that, in a few years, we could follow the river from the Guadarrama mountain to its mouth in Lisbon.
The project is understood as a series of interventions, all consisting with this promising idea. The River's protagonism in the Talavera de la Reina cityscape will be reasserted. It will be made accessible for the enjoyment of all citizens through a series of interventions and activities that bring the natural landscape of the river closer to the city. Finally, this park could become a tourist attraction for Talavera at a national level, as a supra-municipal infrastructure, with economic and social opportunities for the whole city.
The proposed solutions and objectives include sustainable measures to improve water quality, recover the habitats and species of this section of the Tajo River, improve the landscape and enable an increase in the use of the river and its banks in forms commensurate with the conservation of its biodiversity and its landscape. Opening the project to citizen participation should furthermore serve to achieve greater knowledge of the river's history and evolution.
It is intended that the river be for "all" in the broadest sense; allowing the growth of the vegetation and the complex of habitats specific to the place, sheltering numerous autochthonous species of flora and fauna, improving and recovering the enormously attractive scenic landscapes of the river and its fertile plain, and allowing access by the citizens of and visitors to Talavera to the shores and islands for their use and enjoyment. In short, it is about achieving a Natural and Human River Landscape Park.

Soulbox is a unique piece with a chameleonic format, both in appearance and functionality. It is an altar, a vitrine, a display case, a source of light, an object with its own personality, its appearance transforming with the light that is reflected on its surface.
Soulbox is the treasure chest where we save relics, objects for a collection or with a specific emotional value; a place to display intimate pieces. It can also be the vitrine where objects of daily use can be organized: the wine glasses and bottles in the dining room, a selection of books in the office, or cosmetic products in a bathroom.
Soulbox does not need a material content to justify its raison d'etre. It can be empty and still fill the room with the color of its materials, the reflections and the light it shines.
Soulbox has a simple and functional design. The visual effect of the acrylic glass plates of different colors is highlighted by the installation of LED strips in its back, and by the use of iridescent vinyl.

LAS VEGAS, N.M., December 5, 2003 – A recent award by the U.S. Department of Education to Luna Community College in Las Vegas, N.M. and New Mexico Tech in Socorro will provide funding to strengthen science education programs in minority institutions of higher education, as well as to promote access for minorities to careers in science and technology.
This new higher-education project, dubbed "STEPP" (Science, Technology, and Engineering Partnership Program), will increase participation and retention of first-year students and transfer minority students in education programs that lead to degrees in engineering and science.
Specifically, this project will benefit students in northeastern New Mexico, particularly underrepresented minorities in the areas of math, science, and engineering.
This collaborative project, although in its infancy, has already made significant progress toward improving accessibility, retention, and improved curriculum, said Gil Gallegos, director of the project.
"The partnership between Luna Community College and New Mexico Tech fits like hand in glove," Gallegos added. "We have received much support and expertise in implementing this program, in addition to establishing student transfer cohorts well ahead of schedule."
Project objectives, in addition to accessibility, retention, and transfer, include articulation and alignment of prerequisite science, English, and math courses.
Although a statewide articulation agreement is in place, it was determined that a closer look at course content was necessary, Gallegos explained.
Monitoring measures to ensure the success of participating students are also critical to the success of this project, he said.
In addition, a very strong advising, mentoring, tutoring, and student facilitation component at both institutions is under development.
"This component of the project will better prepare students for success in STEPP areas of study by preparing students at the community college level for successful transfer to four-year institutions," Gallegos said.
It is expected that the model developed from this collaborative project will be adaptable to other colleges and universities in New Mexico and across the nation.
