The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

Berlin may expand access for ATVs
If the amendment is adopted, Berlin would join several municipalities, among them Colebrook, Errol, West Stewartstown, Pittsburg and Gorham, that have joined the state of New Hampshire in allowing ATVs on public roads in Coos County.
"We're not a mill community anymore, and one of the big things that happened to Berlin is the OHRV system," Morency said. "We've taken it very slowly and we built a through-way system so they (ATVers) can access 100 miles of trails and we're finding quite a demand for that. And we're finding people are actually buying houses" along the connector, he said.

Ties between Latin America and the Middle East have drawn renewed attention, in part spurred by the tepid reactions of Latin American leaders to the deteriorating situation in Libya. But the main concern, at least among rightwing observers, is what the American Enterprise Institute unimaginatively terms the "Mullah-Caudillo Axis." The relationship between Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadenijad is causing extreme handwringing on the right, spurring pundits to conjure fantastical scenarios about Iran exploiting America's "soft underbelly." Clearly, neoconservatives haven't given up hope of attacking Iran—even if they have to go through Caracas to do it.
Charles Davis, last updated: March 13, 2011
For neoconservatives, it seems Latin America is all about Iran.
From op-eds to "Action Agendas" for the GOP-led House of Representatives, rightwing foreign policy figures are blasting the administration of President Barack Obama for not paying enough attention to the United States' southern neighbors. That purported neglect could be costly, they warn, because the Islamic Republic is allegedly strengthening ties with leaders throughout the region for one singular purpose: to better fight the United States.
Latin America's growing relationship with countries in the Middle East and North Africa has come under renewed focus as the situation in Libya deteriorates. While Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi has been strongly criticized by much of the international community for his violent crackdown on rebels, the response from most of Latin America's leftist leaders has been muted, if not outright supportive, underscoring how the region's growing financial ties to countries in the Greater Middle East has influenced foreign policy agendas.[1]
However, while Gaddafi was in recent years strongly backed by western nations—including the United States and Britain—before the past month's events made that relationship politically untenable, Iran has long been a pariah in the eyes of the West. And conveniently for those eager for a confrontation with the Islamic Republic, its growing foothold in Latin America, they say, is directly linked—and is in fact being facilitated by—another long-time enemy of the neoconservative right: Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez. Indeed, Chávez and his Iranian counterpart, Mahmoud Ahmadenijad, have formed a "Mullah-Caudillo Axis," in the rather unimaginative words of the American Enterprise Institute(AEI).[2]
Although the danger posed by the budding Iran-Venezuela relationship might not be as great as the more notorious axes of history, neoconservatives maintain the danger is real—and growing. With Florida Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, an outspoken opponent of both countries, now chairing the House Foreign Affairs Committee, they have a reliable ally in Congress who can be expected to push their agenda.
"I believe the Venezuela-Iran alliance represents the biggest threat to regional stability since the Cold War," warns the Hudson Institute's Jaime Daremblum in a January piece for the Weekly Standard.[3] A former ambassador to Costa Rica during both the Clinton and Bush administrations, Daremblum's warnings of Iranian influence in Latin America have dominated his writings over the last year. In another January piece—adapted from a speech before the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee(AIPAC)—he says Iran's outreach in Latin America is "Messianic in its goals and relentless in its tactics … [and] intimately linked to narcoterrorism, both in its own practice and in the groups and activities it sponsors." The "key" to its expanding reach, he writes, "has been Hugo Chávez."[4]
In recent years, Tehran and Caracas have grown closer. In 2010, the countries announced a joint venture to ship oil from Venezuela to European and Asian markets, which is aimed at reducing Caracas' financial dependence on exports to America, part of a "strategic alliance" intended to thwart U.S. "imperialism."[5] The countries have partnered for other ventures in the natural gas, textiles and agricultural sectors, with trade between the two nations valued at more than $3 billion a year.
But it is not trade that is drawing the nations together and their growing ties are more than "a mere annoyance," says Daremblum. Rather, the friendly relations between the governments of Iran and Venezuela constitute "a serious strategic menace" to the United States.
While many analysts see Iran's outreach in Latin America as more an attempt to overcome its status as an international pariah, than part of a nefarious plot to build a base from which to literally attack America, Daremblum isn't among them. He sees the country's building of embassies and diplomatic missions throughout the region as part of their long-term game plan to launch such attacks. "For these regimes," he warns, "an embassy is a platform for terrorism."
The concern about Iranian embassies should sound familiar.
In 2009, prominent neoconservatives like Michael Rubin drew attention to media reports claiming that Iran had built a new embassy in Nicaragua's sprawling capital Managua that was "the largest diplomatic mission in the city."[6] The embassy, coupled with Iran's investments in Nicaragua and elsewhere in the region, Rubin warned, indicated the Islamic Republic "might see Latin America as a beachhead from which to conduct an aggressive strategy against the United States and its allies."
The claim was spread throughout rightwing policy circles. Even Secretary of State Hillary Clinton picked it up. "The Iranians are building a huge embassy in Managua," she warned in 2009, just a few months after taking office. "And you can only imagine what that's for."
But as the Washington Post reported in July 2009, that "huge embassy in Managua" could not be found. "It doesn't exist," a chuckling Ernest Porta, head of the Nicaraguan Chamber of Commerce, told the paper.[7]
That claim might not have stuck. But as with the litany of dubious allegations they made before the invasion of Iraq, neoconservatives have thrown out plenty more in the time since.
A case in point: In a December 2010 blog post—authoritative headline: "Iran Placing Medium-Range Missiles in Venezuela; Can Reach the U.S."—the Hudson Institute's Anna Mahjar-Barducci claimed Venezuela's Chávez had agreed to "allow Iran to establish a military base manned by Iranian missile officers, soldiers of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, and Venezuelan missile offers."[8]
As part of the purported deal, missiles—including the "Iranian Shabab 3 (range 1300-1500km)"—would be deployed, she maintained, citing a single-sourced report in a German newspaper. And, pointing to a report in the New York Times, Mahjar-Barducci wrote that Iran was also developing—not placing, as stated in the headline—a new "medium range missile" based on a Russian design that could hit the continental United States.
The head of the Pentagon's Southern Command has said it has no evidence of an Iranian military presence in Venezuela.[9] But according to Mahjar-Barducci, Iran was indeed "establishing a strategic base in the South American continent—in the United States' soft underbelly." And if "a missile base can be opened in Venezuela," she gravely warned, "many U.S. cities will be able to be reached from there even with short-medium range missiles."
Since her piece was published, no news publications have validated her claims. The New York Times, meanwhile, was forced to retract its report about Iran developing a missile based on a Russian design, a claim it had based on an erroneous interpretation of a diplomatic cable released by WikiLeaks.[10] And while 1,500km is indeed a long distance for a missile to go, as the missiles Iran reportedly possesses can travel, it is more than 1,800km from Venezuela to Key West, Florida.
Real or not, though, neoconservatives want their allies in the GOP-led House of Representatives to do something about the "threat" posed by Iran's ties with Latin American leaders—and to put Venezuela's Chàvez on notice, beginning with severe sanctions, if not outright labeling his country a "terrorist state," as some hardliners in Congress wish.
"Under Washington's nose, Chávez has made strides toward terminating U.S. access to Venezuelan oil by finding a new buyer in China, provided Iran's terrorist state with a strategic platform from which to operate near US shores, and resuscitated Cuba's implacable dictatorship," writes AEI's Roger Noriegain his "Latin America Action Agenda for the New Congress."[11] A former assistant secretary of state for the Western Hemisphere under George W. Bush, Noriega says Republicans in Congress should press for "indictments against Chávez's circle of corrupt cronies" and pursue strict U.S. sanctions against Venezuela's state-run oil company for "doing business with Iran."
In an October 2010 piece for Foreign Policy magazine, Noriega even suggested Venezuela was not just aiding Iran's nuclear program—the two countries have openly discussed sharing technology and research—but was itself developing a clandestine nuclear weapons program.[12] However, that show-stopping claim of nuclear proliferation on the U.S.'s "soft underbelly" isn't mentioned in his more recent, 2,700 word policy guide for the new Congress. According to leaked State Department cables released by the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks, U.S. diplomats have privately mocked the notion that Venezuela is assisting Iran's nuclear program or developing atomic weapons—or even capable of developing a civilian nuclear power program.[13]
Like the claims about Iran's phantom mega-embassy in Nicaragua, allegations of Venezuelan proliferation appear to have been unceremoniously dropped.
The notion that Venezuela is an Iranian client state might be a key neoconservative preoccupation with respect to Latin America—but it's not their only one. In a Christmas Day piece, the Washington Post editorial board attacked the Obama administration for treating "Latin America's anti-democratic left with benign neglect."[14]
In particular, the Post, which has been criticized for stacking its list of contributors with neoconservatives like Jennifer Rubinin recent years, faulted the administration for failing to stand up to what it termed "Nicaraguan aggression"—and to "would-be-president for life" Nicaraguan head of state and Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega—by failing to strongly and openly side with Costa Rica in its land dispute with Nicaragua over the San Juan river that divides the two countries.
"It's tempting to imagine how the Reagan administration might have reacted had Mr. Ortega pulled this stunt in the mid-1980s," the Post editorial stated, fondly alluding to a time when the U.S. government fueled a decade-long guerrilla war that cost some 50,000 lives. "Would U.S. Marines be spending Christmas in Managua?"
Beyond standing up to consistently reelected "anti-democratic" leftists in Latin America, though, the U.S. right is also concerned with doubling down on the war on drugs in Mexico and Colombia, claiming, as is their wont, that the Obama administration isn't doing enough. But even there, it all seems to come back to fighting Islamic terrorism.
"The drug cartels are expanding their reach in our countries," writes Hudson's Daremblum, referring to Central and South America. "The proven links between the Islamic terrorists and the drug cartels significantly increase the security risks in the region."
AEI's Noriega, meanwhile, argues that the Republican-led House of Representatives should step in and provide "additional funds, hardware, and technical support" throughout Central America to combat drug cartels. And while more than 34,000 people have been killed in Mexico alone since the drug war was ramped up there in 2006, Noriega says that's actually a sign of success—"tangible evidence that President Felipe Calderón ended the unwritten policy of past Mexican political leaders who kept the peace with 'narcos' by turning a blind eye to their criminal activities."
The call to ramp up support for Calderón's war on drug cartels comes despite not just the increase in violence—and the indiscernible impact on supply and demand—but at a time when an increasing number of Mexico's political elite are calling for a change in policy, with former President Vicente Fox going so far as to call for legalizing the manufacture and distribution of all drugs, from marijuana to cocaine.
While not prepared to go quite that far, other former presidents from Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil took to the pages of the Wall Street Journal in 2009 to pronounce the war on drugs a "failure" and to call for a public health-based approach to illicit narcotics, rather than the militarized approach embraced by Washington.[15]
But to rightwing foreign policy figures, military cooperation on the war on drugs is a time-tested way Washington can maintain and strengthen ties with pro-American governments in Central and South America, and thus counter the purported threat of growing Iranian and Venezuelan influence in the region. And many neoconservatives see the war on drugs as almost indistinguishable from the war on terror. Indeed, Daremblum warns that drug cartels' "expertise could be put at the service of terrorists who want to enter the United States without being detected"—terrorists he and his ideological cohorts suggest would be armed and financed by Iran, citing the country's alleged involvement in attacks on the Israeli embassy and a Jewish center in Buenos Aires in the early 1990s.
For years, and since the 9/11 terrorist attacks especially, neoconservatives have been itching for a military confrontation with Iran. "Real men," after all, "go to Tehran," as Bush administration figures who were certain to never go there themselves put it. While a preemptive attack against the notorious member of the "axis of evil" hasn't yet come to pass, neoconservatives haven't given up hope of taking on the Iranian regime—even if they have to go through Caracas to do it.

David Albright is the founder of the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS), a non-proliferation think tank focusing mainly on the Iranian nuclear program whose objectivity has been called into question by observers. Albright, the "news media's 'favorite' expert" on Iranian nuclear issues, argued in a recent panel discussion hosted by the neoconservative Foundation for Defense of Democracies and Foreign Policy Initiative that Congress should intervene in the Obama administration's diplomatic efforts if a "good deal" is not reached. According to one journalist, Albright has "left a trail of evidence indicating that he has embraced the Iran alarmist line coming from the United States, Israel, and the IAEA."
Michele Flournoy, co-founder of the "liberal hawk" Center for a New American Security, has been widely mentioned as a possible successor to Pentagon chief Chuck Hagel, despite her at times militaristic policy positions. "Rather than proposing a different course for the administration's foreign policy," quipped one conservative writer, Flournoy "appears to possibly be the person to entrench it for rest of Obama's term."
The Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), a neoconservative think tank and advocacy group based in Washington, has endeavored to undermine the Obama administration's negotiations with Iran. FDD executive director Mark Dubowitz recently voiced support for measures by hawkish members of Congress that seek to give Congress a greater role in the negotiations, such as getting an "up or down vote on" any deal. Dubowitz has also suggested that Congress "defend the sanctions architecture" on Iran even if an agreement is reached.
The Center for Security Policy (CSP), run by notorious Islamophobe Frank Gaffney, has rabidly opposed negotiating with Iran over its country's nuclear program. With the deadline to reach an agreement fast approaching, CSP fellows have argued that it would pose "an existential threat to Israel" and a "deadly threat to U.S. national security." They have also urged Congress to "repudiate the nuclear talks and any agreement resulting from them."
AIPAC, "America's pro-Israel lobby," has attempted to influence the nuclear negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 by supporting hawkish congressional measures that many analysts say could derail the diplomatic process. The lobby has strongly endorsed a letter from Reps. Ed Royce (R-CA) and Eliot Engel (D-NY) pressuring Secretary of State John Kerry to broaden the scope of demands in a potential agreement, which many observers have criticized as containing "distortions of the truth."

As nuclear talks between Iran and world powers are extended, hawkish elements in Washington are ramping up their efforts to impose additional economic pressure on Iran.
November 24, 2014
With talks between Iran and the P5+1 extended by seven months, "pro-Israel" and Republican hawks have ramped up their rhetoric, calling for Congress to be given a veto over any final deal.
November 24, 2014
Negotiators in Vienna failed to reach an agreement over Iran's nuclear program and extended the deadline to July 1, 2015.
November 19, 2014
The Bipartisan Policy Center, which claims to support "reasoned negotiation and respectful dialogue," has firmly aligned itself with neoconservatives on Iran.
November 18, 2014
Israel's chief fear in a possible nuclear deal with Iran is that it will lose an enemy that it shares in common with the United States, and thus Washington's commitment to its security.

A Republican-controlled Senate could leave a huge imprint on President Obama's foreign policy agenda during his last two years in office.

Dorel Combines Ameriwood, Altra Operations In High Point Showcase
Monday October 21st, 2013 - 9:01AM

Dorel Industries has combined its Ameriwood and Altra operations and demonstrated what that would mean to customers at the Fall High Point Market, running through October 24. The company offered showgoers a range of design themes that demonstrated its ability to address trends and consumer decorating preferences rather than focusing on domestic or overseas production.
Themes included Weathered, Bronze, Painted and Soft Grey.
The Altra brand will continue in the company as part of a choice range for customers that also includes newly conceived collections, including a fresh line of children's products that range from a toddler's bed to novel cabinet storage with small town graphic decoration.
Dorel also focused on function trends in its showrooms, offering, for example, a range of beverage-related furniture that helps consumers organize their preparation of drinks from wine to coffee. At the same time, it updated its core segments including home office and organization with new products including flexible utility shelving from the Cosco division that consumers can expand and build as they prefer. So, consumers can arrange the product for simple storage or build it into a desk, depending upon need.

The Buzz
Affleck, duck!
You've got to hand it to Ben Affleck. The guy won't play it safe. And certainly, it would have been safer to stay out of the whole Batman issue than submit to the outpouring of fanboy chagrin accompanying the announcement he would play Batman/Bruce Wayne in the sequel to Man of Steel. By contrast, Canadian chagrin, raised in the distortion of facts of the so-called Canadian caper as presented in his movie Argo, was, at least, polite.
Impressions of a Labour Day street party
The Winnipeg Art Gallery has plenty of reasons to celebrate on Monday, Sept. 2. Not only is the gallery in the midst of its 100th year, but its 100 Masters: Only in Canada exhibition has proven to be its most successful event ever. So the gallery is hosting a street party in conjunction with the exhibition's final day, Labour Day. Live music and chalk artists will be among the things to see outside the gallery, and inside there will be a one last chance to see the Picasso, Renoir and Rembrandt that have attracted more than 52,000 people to the WAG this summer.
Franco gets fricasseed
When you're thinkin' hilarity, James Franco's might not be the first name that comes to mind (OK, there was that unintentionally amusing co-host thing at the Oscars a couple of years back, but still...). But clearly, there are some funny folks in the cable-TV world who think the 127 Hours actor is worthy fodder for a full-on comedy-roast celebration. Need proof? Well, The Comedy Central Roast of James Franco, which features skewerings by Bill Hader, Andy Samberg, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, Nick Kroll, Jeffrey Ross and Sarah Silverman, airs Monday, Sept. 2, on the Comedy Network (check listings for time).
Salinger floodgate almost ready to open
It appears that J.D. Salinger fans are going to get what they have long hoped for. As many as five new books by the late great American author-turned-hermit nutbar could be released starting as early as 2015. This is the contention of a new biography, Salinger, and documentary film, both slated for release next week. Salinger is best known for his 1951 novel The Catcher in the Rye. He died in 2010 at age 91 after having published not a word for 45 years, although he continued writing.
I Forgot My Phone
In a society where nearly every important moment is recorded, usually by a couple of people, what are we are missing with our faces buried behind a screen? Is it better that have a slightly shaky video clip with poor audio of Paul McCartney's blockbuster stadium show or just the memory you take away from that evening? Why do we need to be staring into our phones when we are surrounded by friends? I Forgot My Phone is a short film about the modern condition and our smartphone-saturated times by actress/comedian Charlene deGuzman. You can view it on-demand at bit.ly/phone_vid.

Kutcher gets a rousing response for jOBS
Ashton Kutcher, himself a big investor in tech companies, said he found much to relate to about the Apple founder
If the thought of Ashton Kutcher playing Steve Jobs has you a little frightened, you're not alone. The actor himself was worried about what he was getting into when he signed up for the title role in "jOBS," Joshua Michael Stern's biopic about the late Apple founder.
"This was honestly one of the most terrifying things I've ever tried to do in my life. I admired this man so much," Kutcher told the audience at the movie's Sundance Film Festival premiere on Friday night, the event's closing-night ceremony. "I've thrown myself into this massive gauntlet of criticism," he added, because Jobs is a figure so many people knew.
"I've never seen Abraham Lincoln walk into a room, but I've seen Steve Jobs walk into a room," he said.
The audience that had just watched the film didn't seem concerned, giving Kutcher a rousing response when he took the stage. The actor shows a certain commitment to the role, mimicking Jobs' mannerisms, his bullheadedness and his walk. (And oh, that walk; Stern finds every camera angle imaginable to shoot Kutcher in that hunched-forward lope Jobs made famous.) Kutcher also apparently undertook a fruitarian diet to prepare for the role, a decision the actor said landed him in the hospital with pancreas issues.)
Starting off with a scene in which Jobs unveils the iPod to appreciative Apple employees in 2001, the film then backtracks to the beginning of Jobs' career. Even casual viewers will know the basics: Jobs drops out of college (and drops acid), builds computers in a Northern California garage with tech-head Steve Wozniak (played convincingly by Josh Gad) and guides Apple to prominence before being ousted because of his preoccupation with a struggling Macintosh. A decade later, he makes a triumphant return to the company that gave him the boot.
Along the way there are associates telling the entrepreneur what a headstrong and self-defeating personality he can be ("You're the beginning and the end of your own world, Steve, and it's so small and it's so sad and it's got to be lonely") while he looks to motivate others with his brand of hard-driving inspiration ("The people who think they are crazy enough to change the world are the ones who do").
Surprisingly, the film omits the last decade of Jobs' life, when some of the most important Apple inventions came into being and when Jobs' legacy was cemented with the emergence of Pixar, which was acquired by Disney in 2006. The movie also avoids much of significance from Jobs' personal realm; there are only a few scenes pertaining to his family life. It's a decision Stern said was intentional--the director didn't, he said, want to "embark on a lot of speculation." (Stern did say that in his research he found Jobs harboured "a lot of sadness on some level, a lot of isolation.") Kutcher, himself a big investor in tech companies, said he found much to relate to about the Apple founder, particularly his response to business failures. The former "That 70's Show" star even compared acting to the choices the computer visionary faced. "Jobs had the compassion for the people he was building something for," Kutcher said.
"When you make movies it's [also] really easy to go, 'How was I; was I OK?' But that's not the end goal. The end goal is to create something that moves people." Stern said he couldn't quite put into words why Kutcher was right but felt it in his gut. "All I can say is that it was obvious," he said. "It was beyond the [physical] similarity. That really was a very superficial first step."
"jOBS" has garnered criticism from Wozniak, who said a clip about Jobs' early commitment to social change was inaccurate. Meanwhile, audiences will soon get to weigh in.
"jOBS" will be a test not only of the cinematic viability of the Apple story but of whether Kutcher's ability to handle a serious role is, well, more MacBook Pro or Newton.

Greuze was of modest birth, the son of a roofer. He received his early training in Lyons and in Paris studied drawing with Charles Joseph Natoire. In 1755, after he was accepted as a candidate member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in the category of genre painter, Greuze presented five works for exhibition at the Salon. He then set off as the traveling companion of the Abbé Louis Gougenot (1724–1767) for the more or less obligatory visit to Italy. They settled in Rome in January 1756, and in May, when Greuze declined to accompany Gougenot on the journey home, Natoire, by then the director of the Académie de France in Rome, offered the impoverished younger artist housing and a studio for the balance of his stay. Greuze departed for Paris before April 20, 1757, intending to show his Italian work at the biennial Salon. Greuze was ambitious and intractable. While in Rome, he was not immune to the influence of antiquity but he seems to have been uninterested in ancient history and mythology, preferring modern subjects with moral overtones. In spring 1756 he painted Broken Eggs for Gougenot and in late February 1757 he completed the so-called Neapolitan Gesture (Worcester Art Museum) for the same patron. Both were exhibited in 1757; they are the same size and seem to constitute a narrative pair. Greuze gave the present picture a long descriptive title in the published list of works on view at the Salon: Une Mère grondant un jeune Homme pour avoir renversé un Panier d'Oeufs que sa Servante apportoit du Marché. Un Enfant tente de raccomoder un Ooeuf cassé. (A mother scolding a young man for having overturned a basket of eggs that her servant brought from the market. A child attempts to repair a broken egg). It is evident from the pout of the girl—as well as from the scowling child who is holding an eggshell and a dripping yoke and who provides the subtext—that something more than eggs has been broken, and in the eighteenth century it would have been understood, even if not directly stated, that it was the girl's virtue the youth had violated.Greuze must have been gratified when his 1757 exhibits were hung near those of the academician Chardin. The younger painter's genre subjects would not achieve equivalent official success, however, which would be a source of grave disappointment. Greuze's Italian subjects evade interpretation and can be read as dark and unoptimistic in mood, but Broken Eggs is nevertheless an astonishingly skillful performance, especially in view of the fact that several years before, when the artist arrived in Paris from Burgundy, he had been little more than competent.[Katharine Baetjer 2011]

Anita Brookner. "Jean-Baptiste Greuze – I." Burlington Magazine 98 (May 1956), p. 158, fig. 34 (engraving erroneously labeled as the painting), illustrates the Moitte engraving after Mieris (fig. 35) that inspired Greuze and comments on the Dutch and Flemish influence. Edgar Munhall. "Greuze." PhD diss., Yale University, 1959, part 2, pp. 8–11, 13 nn. 52, 61; part 4, p. 12, suggests that M. de Stainville, the French ambassador in Rome, may have purchased this picture; states that it was the first Greuze painted after he settled in Rome on January 28, 1756, and that it was finished by the time of Barthélemy's letter of May 12; sees in the detailed setting the inspiration of Dutch engravings and in the soft and artificial details the influence of Boucher's pastels; observes that engravings of "The Broken Eggs" and "The Neapolitan Gesture" were sold together as pendants. Willibald Sauerländer. "Pathosfiguren im Oeuvre des Jean-Baptiste Greuze." Walter Friedlaender zum 90. Geburtstag.

Greuze: The Rise and Fall of an Eighteenth-century Phenomenon. Greenwich, Conn., 1972, pp. 58–59, 80, 97–98, 144, fig. 16, states that the duchesse de Grammont, sister of M. de Stainville, bought this picture from Greuze in Rome, and that "sexual innuendo here reigns supreme," though the picture is based on an engraving by Moitte after Mieris. Pierre Rosenberg. The Age of Louis XV: French Painting, 1710–1774. Exh. cat., Toledo Museum of Art. [Toledo], 1975, p. 4, mentions the price at the San Donato sale as an example of collector infatuation with eighteenth-century painting after 1869. Edgar Munhall. Jean-Baptiste Greuze, 1725–1805. Exh. cat.Hartford, 1976, pp. 20, 40–41, no. 9, ill., notes that the same models posed for the 1757 pendant, "The Neapolitan Gesture". Mario Amaya. "The Moralist: J.-B. Greuze."

"The Greuze Exhibition at Hartford and Elsewhere." Burlington Magazine 119 (February 1977), p. 146, addresses the importance of the exhibition; sees in our picture and its pendant a "polarized structure of emotional conflict that prefigures David". Antoine Schnapper. "Review of Edgar Munhall, 'Jean Baptiste Greuze,' 1977." Art Bulletin 60, no. 2 (June 1978), p. 374. Michael Fried. Absorption and Theatricality: Painting and Beholder in the Age of Diderot. Berkeley, 1980, pp. 35, 191, n. 66, p. 200, n. 120, ill. p. 36, believes our picture and "La parasseuse italienne" represent the "absorptive concerns" of the eighteenth century in their depictions of sleep-related subjects and moods of "lassitude, reverie, and psychological absence". Otto Naumann. Frans van Mieris (1635–1681) the Elder. Doornspijk, The Netherlands, 1981, vol. 2, p. 19, notes that an engraving in reverse by Moitte after Meiris was the inspiration; adds that an inscription on the print alludes to the symbolism of the broken egg. James Thompson. "A Study by Greuze for Broken Eggs." Metropolitan Museum Journal 17 (1984), pp. 47–48, ill., discusses a chalk drawing in the Albertina, Vienna, that is a study for the boy; argues that, rather than uncomprehending or innocent, he is in fact a "solemn witness to the impossibility of repairing what is broken". Heather McPherson. "Jean-Baptiste Greuze's Italian Sojourn, 1755–57." Studies in Eighteenth Century Culture 14 (1985), pp. 94, 100–106, fig. 4, ill., argues that Greuze's Italian sojourn was highly significant in the development of his moralizing genre subjects; compares the girl's pose to Caravaggio's "Magdalen" (Galleria Doria-Pamphilj, Rome); notes that Greuze attempted to ennoble ordinary subjects, and suggests that the flattened, friezelike composition, and intensity of emotion and gesture anticipate his "Septimius Severus and Caracalla" of 1769. Philip Conisbee. Chardin. Oxford, 1986, pp. 214–15, mentions it as an example of the moralizing dramas that appealed to Salon audiences at the time and relates it to Boucher's "The Pretty Kitchen-maid". Edgar Munhall. "The Variety of Genres in the Work of Jean-Baptiste Greuze, 1725–1805." Porticus (1987–1988), p. 22, notes that our picture prompted one contemporary critic to suggest that Greuze try his hand at the more elevated genre of history painting. Andrzej Pienkos. "'L'Oiseleur' et les trois autres 'Tableaux dans le costume italien.' Quelques remarques sur l'oeuvre de jeunesse de Jean-Baptiste Greuze." Bulletin du Musée National de Varsovie 28, no. 1–2 (1987), pp. 1, 3–4, 6, 11–13, ill., discusses the diversity of sources for the "tableaux dans le costume italien"; notes that the background of "Broken Eggs" resembles interiors by Maes and Dou.

Metropolitan Museum of Art Bulletin 47 (Winter 1989/90), pp. 14, 21, figs. 11–13 (color, overall and details), and color details on front and back cover, cites it as the first in a series of works in which a shattered object symbolizes lost chastity; stresses the importance of the bow and arrow on which the child leans and describes him as a "solemn, plainclothes Cupid, silently commenting on the irreparable consequences of erotic abandon". Emma Barker. "Greuze and the Painting of Sentiment: The Family in French Art 1755–1785." PhD diss., Courtauld Institute of Art, 1994, vol. 1, pp. 283, 487, ill., contrasts it with Greuze's later works dealing with the theme of errant daughters.

Los Angeles, 2000, p. 5, fig. 2 (color), notes that the genre pictures painted in Rome circulated in Paris prior to the 1757 Salon, and "impressed observers not only by their naturalism and local color, but, more importantly, by their considerable seriousness and ambition".

Oxford, 2000, p. 125 n. 3, pp. 135–37, 176, pl. 14, addresses Greuze's awkward rendering of bodily proportion; discusses his interest in "the salacious and a seeming determination to avoid the historical and heroic in favour of the anecdotal and the theatrical"; notes that the two scenes "can easily be read as a narrative of seduction and its aftermath familiar from popular theatre". Edgar Munhall. Greuze the Draftsman. Exh. cat.London, 2002, p. 50, ill. (detail). Colin B. Bailey in The Age of Watteau, Chardin, and Fragonard: Masterpieces of French Genre Painting. Exh. cat., National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa. New Haven, 2003, pp. 248–50, 366, no. 64, ill. (color). Mary D. Sheriff. Moved by Love: Inspired Artists and Deviant Women in Eighteenth-Century France. Chicago, 2004, pp. 209–10, fig. 55. Bernadette Fort. "The Greuze Girl: The Invention of a Pictorial Paradigm." French Genre Painting in the Eighteenth Century. Washington, 2007, pp. 131–33, 147 nn. 13, 20, 23, fig. 2, notes that that the servant in Broken Eggs "is, literally, a 'fallen' girl'" by comparison with the bejeweled upper-class young lady in "The Neapolitan Gesture" disdainfully dismissing her suitor; asserts that the scenes "are intended for connoisseurs who enjoy decoding visual signifiers, as well as the tension they produce between a proffered moral message and its witty deconstruction"; suggests that the artist used the same model here and in his "Lazy Italian Maid" of 1655 (National Gallery, London). Mark Ledbury. "Greuze in Limbo: Being 'Betwixt and Between'." French Genre Painting in the Eighteenth Century. Washington, 2007, p. 187, ill. p. 178 and fig. 14 (color, overall and detail), discusses it in the context of Greuze's other images of a seduced woman, remarking that playful references to the penitent Magdalen "point to a scenario of remorse, not passage".

Remember this?
Every day should be Saturday.
Remember this?
I just learned that most of the photographs at Ocean State Adventures were taken by my dad! Way to go, dad!
Just in case you're wondering … my passport my California driver's license my Florida driver's license
I discovered The Mirror Project while visiting TheBrad. The Mirror Project is a growing collection of like minded individuals who have snapped their likenesses in a variety of reflective surfaces. Nifty idea, eh?
Here's a great photo of the view from Jason's balcony in San Francisco.
That's me. Click on it and it pops open a little window that will refresh every minute or so. You can do that by clicking the 'live webcam' link on the left, too. If it looks like I haven't moved for hours it probably just means that the camera is not recording. Or I'm really […]
If you still haven't been able to catch my card at FriezLog's Weblogémon, but you really want to see it, I've posted it here. I think it's a pretty fair representation of what I'd look like if I was a Japanese animated character. <grin>
I never met a meme I didn't like. Okay. That's a lie. (A gimmick, if you will.) It took me a few days, but I finally visited Stor Entertainment Ltd and created myself. My me doesn't seem very interesting to me, but maybe that's just me.
Yes. Now that you mention it. Rachel Hunter was in Tampa today. She spent the day with Sylvia visiting cancer patients. She also managed to find time to say this.
Have you ever wondered what my desktop looks like? I admit, it's not very interesting. But. There you go. Go read Lisa. She's funny.
I finally managed to finish organizing my images directory. You can now view the index and see what photos and graphics I have here. Woo. Hoo.
Just trying to organize more photos. Stacks of 'em, I tell ya. Not enough though. I wish I had more. Here's another bunch: At the Gagne Family Reunion in '99, Uncle Ed, dad, and I had a blast diving from the raft floating in the middle of Uncle Richie's lake. Here's a shot of my […]
Here's a shot of my old office at Regeneration Technologies, Inc. The photo is about a year old. Note the Yield album cover near my monitor. Also note Snoopy!
Me Well. That's what it's all about, right? So here I am. These aren't exactly the best pictures of me; but they are the ones that I like – for one reason or another. Lemme splain. I used to have a mad fascination with capturing myself on film. I had a camera in the bathroom […]
Here are five shots of me rowing. I sat two-seat for almost every race. These pictures do not do the sport justice.
Well after blogging a photo of me and Jenny last week, it's only fair for you to get to see Michelle "Mooshy" Gagne. Yes. I do have the two cutest little sisters in the world, now that you mention it.
Michelle sent me some photos from the Pearl Jam weekend.
Here's a shot of me and my little sister Jenny. This is a house on Goddard Street in Providence, RI.
The view from my dad's back porch is beautiful.
