David Bowie Is
Straight from London's Victoria and Albert Museum, North America's debut of hit exhibition includes culture icon's original stage costumes, instruments, album art and music videos.
This fall the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) offers North America its first chance to take an exciting odyssey through the world of pioneering artist David Bowie—musician, performer and style icon—in the acclaimed exhibition David Bowie is, direct from the Victoria and Albert (V&A) Museum in London, England. Spanning five decades and featuring more than 300 objects from Bowie's personal archive, the multi-media show exposes the groundbreaking artist's collaborations in the fields of fashion, sound, theatre, art and film. David Bowie is will open on Sept. 25, 2013 and runs to Nov. 27, 2013, giving Toronto two full months to live the experience. The AGO is the exhibition's first stop on its world tour.
Acclaimed by the New York Times as "united in sound and vision in a way rarely seen in a museum," David Bowie is marks the first international exhibition devoted to the British-born musician and performer (born David Robert Jones in 1947), who has sold more than 140 million albums to date throughout his genre-defying career. Organized thematically, the show immerses visitors in a spectacular and interactive trip through Bowie's numerous personae and legendary performances, with particular attention paid to his artistic influences. His experiments with Surrealism, German Expressionism, Music Hall, mime and Japanese Kabuki performance are all explored in an explosion of colour, light and sound.

The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) hosts Mesopotamia in its premiere North American engagement from June 22, 2013 to January 5, 2014. The internationally touring exhibition of the ancient civilization is presented in Toronto by the British Museum in collaboration with the ROM.
More than 3,000 years of accomplishments by the civilization are explored in the exhibition. Widely credited with the invention or development of writing, long-distance communication, law, trade networks, and the first empires, Mesopotamian society also launched and advanced literature and sophisticated art, concurrently with great intellectual, spiritual, and scientific advances. These achievements still influence us today.
Mesopotamia showcases more than 170 priceless objects from the eminent collections of the British Museum. These artifacts, most never before seen in Canada, are augmented by those from the ROM's own renowned collections and other leading institutions, including the University of Chicago Oriental Institute Museum, the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (Penn Museum, Philadelphia), and the Detroit Institute of Arts. Presented in a series of well-defined themes, the exhibition features an outstanding selection of artifacts: stunning jewellery, dramatic stone sculptures, and impressive wall reliefs.

Holding Pattern
The Art Gallery of Mississauga, in a unique collaboration with Toronto Pearson International Airport, is proud to present Holding Pattern, a site-specific mixed media installation by contemporary miniature painter Tazeen Qayyum at the airport's Terminal 1 departure lounge.
"The AGM is thrilled to collaborate with the Toronto Pearson International Airport on this exhibtion. I am fascinated by the lull of time and suspended animation of airport departure lounges, in particular the potential to find a sense of connection with art when we least expect it. This sense of connection and space for conversation are concepts that the AGM aims to activate with visual art, whether within gallery space or beyond. Our mandate is to bring art to the community and the community to art, and what better space to engage the complex nuances of global community than at the airport?"
In Qayyum's work, the familiar and iconic airport passenger seat is rendered crimson with floral motif filigree that is
interlaced with cockroaches. The beautiful and the undesirable are side by side, each one partially camouflaged by the other.
Qayyum views the roach as a stand-in for "others" who are different from ourselves, the "others" upon whom judgement is
imposed for their difference.
Designed to enrich travel through Toronto Pearson, the extensive art and exhibitions program contributes to creating a diverse, vibrant and delightful atmosphere. The program features large scale permanent public art by international and Canadian artists, including Richard Serra, Jaume Plensa and Susan Schelle and Mark Gomes. Changing exhibtions are presented in galleries throughout Terminal 1 and showcase local art, culture and heritage in order to create a sense of place.
Location: Toronto Pearson International Airport, Terminal 1, Domestic Departures, across from Gate D20

February 2, 2014, as part of the Carbon 14: Climate is Culture Exhibition + Festival.
Cape Farewell began the project in November 2011, when artists, including film makers, poets and

dialogue on issues related to climate change. The resulting Carbon 14: Climate is Culture exhibition
features 13 art installations, including seven new commissions by Canadian and international artists,
from various disciplines, all confronting the facts of climate change and responding in powerful and
creative ways.

Brushing It In the Rough: Women, Art & Nineteenth-century Canada
Continuing to highlight its strong Canadiana collection, the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) presents Brushing It In the Rough: Women, Art & Nineteenth-century Canada. This intimate display showcases the pictorial responses of three nineteenth-century women – Anna Jameson, a traveler; Susanna Moodie, a settler; and Alice Killaly, a native-born resident – to their Canadian experiences. Each woman produced art within society's parameters and their stories reveal the circumstances behind the use of their talents for financial gain. Augmenting the earlier works, the art of Ruth Abernethy provides a contemporary lens onto the role of women in settler society. The exhibit's 23 works are displayed from Saturday, August 24, 2013 to Monday, February 17, 2014 in the Wilson Canadian Heritage Exhibition Room of the Sigmund Samuel Gallery of Canada, located on Level 1 of the ROM's Weston Family Wing.

Dark Skies over Skye
"Dark Skye Scotland" : The low levels of light pollution in many parts of Scotland make it the best area for "dark skies" in Western Europe.
Stargazing at Uig and, indeed, throughout the Isle of Skye, can be superb with vast numbers of stars visible on clear nights far in excess of what you'll ever see in towns and cities.

Freudian slip?
Think he meant to say stick, and being that it's consecutive 'st' sounds, it easily gets blurred.
But he could easily have said 'dick' as well. Sounds like it.
What did he actually mean to say?

When I did a radio show in college, I learned to be careful not to say "biggest hits" too fast.
"...more talking went on between us all until [Roethlisberger and his entourage] left the bar. Then I seperated with [name redacted] and the other girls and went with another group, and everything else happened, and I was told about it this morning and felt I needed to give my statement. Looking back and hearing all of the details, it seems to me that it was a set-up, and so I think this needed to be told."

In general, though, he's right. The Texans called this the biggest game in their history. This wouldn't even rank top 10 for the Patriots and we smoked them.

#Patriots are 9-2 and their second highest paid player this season is Aaron Hernandez. Let that sink in.
as a texans fan, first off thats hilarious.
we got our butts whooped, and im at least glad this team didnt make any excuses for it. it will be a learning tool for them, and at least this happened now in the season before the playoffs. a lot of people are overlooking that, as if the teams season is over??
theyre still 11-2. they can learn from this. its clear spread offenses give this team some trouble, and thats clearly where they need BRIAN CUSHING, but this team did not come out with any excuses.
the game is all honestly was defined by 6 or 7 plays. we had some costly penalties that kept drives alive for the pats, and you simply cant do that against brady. i think this game falls on the coaches.
but the texans are STILL IN CONTROL of the #1 seed. people are forgetting that. they will use this are a learning tool and move on...plenty of other teams have been blown-out to turn the ship (most recently, pats blew out jets 45-3 at home, then lost at home in the playoffs to the jets).
this was a big game, but not a defining game. espn and their east coast bias is blowing it a little out of proportion, IMO.
just to add, you obviously have to give credit where credit is due. brady had a hell of a game. not a lot of qbs can just fill guys in at the WR position and execute like he did.
ESPN loves the drama of "Who's best in the afc", but we wont know till the playoffs.
I really wish ESPN would show more of that bias you say. Tom Brady kicks *** on MNF and what do we get to hear about the next day? A piece on Peyton Manning and how great he is and how he's the audible king.

The iPhone 6 is an exceptional phone in nearly every way except its average battery life: it's thin and fast with a spacious screen and the smoothest payment system we've seen. It's the best overall phone of 2014.
Subtly improved and smartly refined, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is a superior superphone that hits every mark but the sharpest design.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will thrill anyone who loves a fast phone with a large screen, but it's best for compulsive scribblers willing to pay a lot for its winning stylus.
The iPhone 6 Plus is too big for everyone to love it, but it's Apple's best phone this year. If your budget and your pocket can make room for it, give the iPhone 6 Plus serious consideration.
Bill Detwiler cracks open the iPhone 6 Plus, explores the hardware inside, and discovers several interesting differences from the regular iPhone 6.
Although the Nexus 6 trails the slimmer Samsung Galaxy Note 4 in processor performance and native productivity features, it's still the most powerful pure Android handset available and the largest Nexus yet.
Possessing the right blend of features and design, the G3 finally gives LG the right phone with which to challenge Korean rival Samsung.
Even with its hefty design, the Motorola Droid Turbo's robust battery, powerful processor and vivid display put it on the short list for Verizon customers.
Samsung's swooshing Galaxy Note Edge is a triumph of novel design, but its high price tag and minimal extra usability make for a niche appeal.
Despite its daring aspirations and 3D-like party tricks, the brave, new Fire Phone's lack of Google services will alienate anyone who expects the flexibility of a modern Android phone.

Right now, TigerDirect has the Panasonic SC-HTB10 Home Theater Sound Bar on sale for just $157.99. That price is the cheapest that we've found on this item. It's $42 off the manufacturer's suggested retail price, and also includes free shipping.
This soundbar can give a nice boost to movies, sports, and even everyday TV viewing. Featuring Clear TV sound reproduction and an advanced bamboo cone speaker, this unit promises centered, super-clear sound. It also has Audio Return Channel (ARC) support for a simpler connection.
Without a doubt, this is an easy, affordable solution—for your holiday shopping, of course. It's also a good bargain. Panasonic currently has this item on backorder for $2 more, so we wouldn't be surprised if TigerDirect sells out at this price.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.
