Now that they're six, they're as clever as clever. And that means they need great toys that challenge, entertain, and teach [all at the same time]. Amazing activities, art kits, and all kinds of construction sets will have them learning more than they'll even know.
By John Bemelmans
Madeline and her favorite companion in mischief, Pepito, embark on their wildest adventure yet. When ghostly moans lead them to the attic of the old house in Paris, they discover Felix de La Morte, who has lingered there for hundreds of years, waiting for the return of a certain comet. With the comet due to return the very next day, the poor fellow's telescope has been stolen by mean Lord Cucuface, and it is up to Madeline and Pepito to get it back. A nighttime trip across Paris, a midnight apparition, and all is happily resolved in time for the three new friends to view the comet on a starry night.
Inspired by the Madeline book series by Ludwig Bemelmans and John Bemelmans Marciano. During a school outing, mischievous Madeline falls into the River Seine, and to the great relief of all, is rescued by a courageous canine she names Genevieve. The two become inseparable friends.
Brave Genevieve is made of exquisite soft chenille, and has an endearing embroidered expression, hand-stitched paws and a red grosgrain ribbon collar.
She comes nestled inside a bright blue twill tote bag that is silkscreened with an exclusive Madeline print. This tote is decorated with an embroidered Madeline patch and has two red handles, making it the perfect accessory for doggy day trips. A fabric band with a Velcro closure makes sure Genevieve stays secure in her tote, ensuring that this trusted companion will always be at your side!

Indianapolis-based appliance and electronics retailer hhgregg continued its focus on gaining appliance retail market share in the United States, even as its video category diminishes.
hhgregg preliminary net sales for its fiscal first quarter were approximately $490 million, up about 13.5% from $431.5 million in the fiscal first quarter of the previous year. The net sales increase came mostly from the opening of 30 new stores.
The first quarter of the retailer's fiscal 2013 year ended June 30, 2012.
The retail expects a fiscal first quarter net loss between $6.2 million - $5.7 million. In the year-ago first quarter it had a net loss of $0.8 million.
Appliances made up 49% of the retailer's net sales in the three months ended June 30, 2012, up from 44% in the three months ended June 30, 2011.
Video accounted for 33% in the quarter ended June 30, 2012, down from 37% in the quarter ended June 30, 2011.
The retailer's other two major product categories are:
* Home Office (primarily computers, mobile phones, and tablet computers) up to 8% from the previous year's 7%
* Other (primarily audio, furniture and accessories, mattresses and personal electronics) at 10% from the previous year's 12%
Hhgregg now expects fiscal 2013 comparable store sales of -6% to -4%. Previous guidance was -1% to +1%. It now expects a fiscal 2013 net sales increase of 3% -6%. Previous guidance was 9% - 12%. It expects to open 20-22 new stores in the fiscal year.
Chief Financial Officer Jeremy Aguilar said the company was being hurt by video industry headwinds and will realign its video business to address that.
President and CEO Dennis May saw difficulty in the current retail environment but said first quarter sales results were more specifically the result of "embedded volatility in the video industry."
While disappointed in video, "We continue to make progress on our key initiatives... (including) gaining market share in the appliances category," May said. He added that, "While big box consumer products today are defined as appliances and large screen televisions, we continue our plans to test new products that will help fill the void from sales declines in the video category."

Man On Internet Almost Falls Into World Of DIY Mustard Enthusiasts
March 11, 2010
DES MOINES, IA¡XWhen Steve Gibson first became casually involved with an
online community of mustard makers, he had no idea his mild interest in the
condiment would, within a few short months, spiral dangerously out of
But Gibson, unlike so many others, managed to get out before the hobby
consumed his entire life.
"I don't know how I wound up at that point, but thank God I escaped when I
did," Gibson, 41, said Friday. "There I was, a grown man, planning a trip
to the Mustard Museum in Wisconsin, when suddenly I heard a voice deep
within me say, 'This is not what you want your life to be about.'"
"It was like waking up from a bad dream," Gibson added. "A bad yellow and
brown dream."
Gibson's descent into the depths of mustard obsession started innocently
enough, when he got involved in an Internet exchange about the best kind of
mustard to use on a grilled bratwurst. When someone posted a link
encouraging him to "click on this if you really want to spice things up,"
he took the stranger's advice and suddenly found himself on
MustardMonster.com, a discussion group devoted to the cultivation,
preparation, and enjoyment of the table-side condiment.

Whether you're flying solo this Valentine's Day or celebrating with the one you love, there's a wine for every type of date night you're having. The Chicago Sun-Times writes:
All wine pairs well with romance. But some bottles really wear their hearts on their labels.
Whether you're interested in the Birds & bees sweet red wine or want to cut straight to the chase with some Simply Naked chardonnay, bottles abound with labels that range from sweet to saucy.
Feeling true to the one you love? Perhaps Monogamy wine is what you seek. Or maybe the mood calls for Menage a Trois, a popular line of California wines from Trinchero Family Estates. (For the record, the name stems from the fact that the flagship wine, a red blend, is a mix of zinfandel, merlot and cabernet sauvignon.)

Realism In Art
As for me, seeker after truth and student of life as I am, I shall take care not to follow their example. I take from life the movements I observe, but it is not I who impose them.
The Artist All In Nature Is Beautiful
When he sees beings everywhere destroying each other; when he sees all youth fading, all strength failing, all genius dying, when he is face to face with the will which decreed these tragic laws, more than ever he rejoices in his knowledge, and, seized anew by the passion for truth, he is happy.
Now color — it is to this remark that I wished to lead — is the flower of fine modelling. These two qualities always accompany each other, and it is these qualities which give to every masterpiece of the sculptor the radiant appearance of living flesh.
Movement In Art
THERE are two statues by Rodin at the Musee du Luxembourg which especially attract and hold me ; l'Age d'Airain (the Iron Age) and Saint-Jean-Baptiste.
Drawing And Color
RODIN has always drawn a great deal. He has sometimes used the pen, sometimes the pencil. Formerly he drew the outline with a pen, and then added the shading with a brush.
The Beauty Of Women
Yes, Victor Hugo understood! What we adore in the human body more even than its beautiful form is the inner flame which seems to shine from within and to illumine it.
Of Yesterday And Of Today
A FEW days ago I accompanied Auguste Rodin, who was on his way to the Louvre, to see once again the busts by Houdon.
Thought In Art
ONE morning, finding myself with Rodin in his atelier, I stopped before the cast of one of his most impressive works.
Mystery In Art
ONE morning, when I arrived at Rodin's house at Meudon I found the master in his dressing-gown, his hair in disorder, his feet in slippers, sitting before a good wood fire, for it was November.
Phidias And Michael Angelo
ONE Saturday evening Rodin said to me - Come and see me tomorrow morning at Meudon. We will talk of Phidias and of Michael Angelo, and I will model statuettes for you on the principles of both.
At The Louvre
SEVERAL days later, Rodin, putting his promise into execution, asked me to accompany him to the Musee du Louvre.
On The Usefullness Of The Artist
Today, every one is engrossed by self-interest; but I would like to see this practical society convinced that it is at least as much to its advantage to honor the artist as to honor the manufacturer and the engineer.
The Distribution of Power by Direct Currents
IT IS part of the programme for this evening that I shall advocate the use of direct currents for long distance power transmission.
Selection Of Alternating Current Apparatus For A Central Lighting System
MY FRIEND and predecessor in the management of The Edison Illuminating Company of Detroit, Mr. C. P. Gilbert, is responsible for the presentation of this paper.
Public Lighting in Relation to Public Ownership and Operation
It is the belief of many members that the National Electric Light Association should formulate and publish a well-considered method of dealing with this business. While local conditions differ, there is no local difference in the principles which should govern electric lighting companies in their dealings with municipalities and municipalities in their dealings with electric lighting companies.
Electricity - Methods of Charging
THE WRIGHT system of charging for electric supply is not an indivisible entity. It is rather a combination of three entities, any of which may be adopted by a lighting company without necessarily entailing the adoption of the others.
Electric Residence Rates in Detroit
AT the last Convention I made a brief statement, which has appeared in the Minutes, of an experiment in the application of a differential rate to house lighting. I promised to make some statement at this meeting of the result.
Electric Residence Rates In Detroit (Part II)
At two previous conventions I have made statement of the experience of The Edison Illuminating Company, of Detroit, in the application of a differential rate to house lighting. This will presumably be the final statement.
The Position of the Engineer in Municipal Service
THE Detroit Engineering Society has always avoided any semblance of political action. We have at times discussed matters of engineering interest so closely akin to what we recognize as politics that our discussion took a distinctly political tinge.
Salt as a By Product
Not only by the adoption of economical processes of manufacture, but by the utilization of all by-products, must the manufacturer of today keep down his production cost. In some cases he has apparently the choice between economical manufacture of his chief product without a by-product, and a less economical process which leaves as residue a valuable by-product.
The Direct Current Distributing Systems of American Cities
THE INTENT of this paper is to describe the electric distribution system which is commonly in use in the central areas of the larger American cities and to state the reasons for the adoption and retention of that system.
Electricity - Rates and Costs
THE SUBJECT of this talk as announced is Rates and Costs. In a sense that is putting the cart before the horse; because costs are not consequent on rates, excepting only when the rates are by competition or by legislation so fixed that proper service is made impossible, because it costs too much.
Electricity - Regulation by Commissions
The immediate question before you, upon which I am asked to speak, is: Shall there be in this State a commission controlling public utilities.
Electricity - The Art of Rate Making
WHEN an electric light company was only a lighting company, selling light at night in competition with gas and trying hard to sell enough energy to pay for the coal used on the day run, rate making by guess was fairly safe and was likely to be equitable.
Electric Energy, Wholesale and Retail
Summing up these principles in a concise, although not complete statement, it may be said that the rate charged for any class of service must pay the cost of performing the service, plus the accruing depreciation of the equipment required for the service, plus some return—more or less—upon the investment.
The Production of Electricity by Steam Power
You are more interested in power delivered and available for your work than you are in the question of generating or producing power at the terminals of a dynamo-electric machine.
Concerning War-Time Extensions—Some Underlying Principles
Neither do I think you will challenge my second premise, to wit, that public utilities must be planned, financed and operated as continuing services; subject to slow changes in quality and character.
Electricity - Rate Forms Should Be Minimized
THIS is a talk about some phases of the art of rate making. It will not be long, and it presumes, with reason, that this audience knows so much of the technique of cost analysis and of the laws of rate making that preliminary discussion of these phases is superfluous.
Economics and the Engineer in Utility Management
YOUR presiding officer has indicated to you just what he wants you to believe he wanted me to say. In other words, he has shown the wisdom which I would have looked for in the Legal Department, rather than in the Technical Department, of setting up an alibi in advance.
Electricity - Evolution of Rate Making
FIFTY-YEARS AGO a discussion of rates for electric supply would have been impossible because there was no electric supply.

I'm loving the concept behind all of the beauty subscription services that have launched in recent years: Pay a small amount (usually $10-$15) each month and they will ship you a bag or box of deluxe-sized samples of things such as perfume, mascara and eye-cream.
It's a low-commitment way to test products before shelling out for full-sized versions, and discover new things you might not normally have tried. Plus, who doesn't love receiving surprises in the mail?
Here are some of the options:

The OHSAS 18001 is the international Occupational Health and Safety Management System standard. These standards are applicable to any size of companies, but are especially relevant to companies with a large work force, manual and heavy work tasks, and/or high risk work environments. Targeting the health and safety of employees proves that you are actively working to ensure that your operations are safe both for your employees and the surrounding environment.
Many organizations are implementing an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) as part of their risk management strategy to address changing legislation and protect their workforce.
More and more organizations are concerned about demonstrating their commitment to Occupational Health & Safety. This is mainly crucial for employees, but also for customers, stakeholders and the corporate image. In addition, stricter legislation demands that organizations show a clear, pro-active commitment towards health and safety. Clients and employees want proof of this up-front, in addition to being assured that an organization will continue to meet their needs now and in the long term. That's a challenge but also an opportunity for organizations to reduce risk and provide a safer working environment.
OHSAS 18001 is a specification for Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems (OHSMS) jointly developed by a number of international third party certification bodies, national standards bodies, and other interested parties. It enables organizations to manage operational risks and improve performance. It also provides guidance on how to manage the health and safety aspects of your business activities more effectively, while taking into careful consideration accident prevention, risk reduction and the well-being of employees.
An OHSMS promotes a safe and healthy working environment by providing a framework that allows organization to consistently identify and control its health and safety risks, reduce the potential for accidents, aid legislative compliance and improve overall performance.
Demonstrating commitment to Occupational Health & Safety can positively improve the efficiency of internal operations and consequently reduce accidents, danger and downtime. Employee safety and the quality of the working environment are actively improved because objectives and responsibilities are made clearer and all employees are prepared to effectively deal with any future hazards. What's more, OHSAS 18001 ensures compliance with current legal requirements, reducing the risk of penalties or possible litigation.

Scalloped Trim
Designer Krista Ewart used scalloped shapes throughout a Balboa Island beach house like in the kitchen island's trim and lighting. "That was a total theme," she says. "Scallops are feminine, but not overly feminine, a great old-fashioned smiley shape. They're young and happy like polka dots." The pink Smeg refrigerator from Sears is the showstopper in the guest-suite kitchen. Lina rug from Plastica.

Tectoniques and Atelier GA began designing the Jean Carrière Nursery School by analyzing the site. Constructed around the framework of existing large plane trees, the school is arranged to create a campus that remains light on the site. The existing trees were preserved, the foundations of the buildings remained small, and a retention pond on the site helps to mitigate natural flooding.
The design of the project responds to the need set a small foundation on a site that was problematic due to flooding. Thus the building seems to float above the ground, hovering around the roof heights of the surrounding neighborhood. Cantilevering the second floor rooms helped to increase the program square footage and create shaded spaces in the exterior corridors. The building plan resembles a cross-shape, which ultimately helps provide supervisory observation of the children. Walls throughout the building are glazed to provide extra observation and security.
The Jean Carrière building meets low energy consumption standards and it has received BBC-Effinergie certification. The design includes passive ventilation, natural sun shading from the trees, and wonderful eco-friendly interior materiality. The design team's respect and attention to the existing landscape is a welcomed gesture at understanding that active, sustainable design grows from a deep respect and appreciation for nature.

I love Salt Dough but it takes an age to bake which if you have toddlers and preschoolers means that whilst it bakes you can have lots of "When's it going to be ready" so thanks to a virtual friend I was told about this quickest ever salt dough recipe… and what's more it really works.
Salt Dough Recipe
1/2 cup of salt
1/2 cup of water
1 cup of flour
How to make the salt dough
Add the 1/2 cup of salt and 1 cup of flour to a bowl stir in the water adding it slowly – you may not need all of the water. You want the dough to be dry – if it gets sticky add more flour. Knead the dough and then roll out and use as you want.
Once you have made the shapes you want then you need to dry them so you can paint. Traditionally salt dough is dried in the oven which takes around 3 hours at a low heat so they don't burn. But instead swap your oven for a microwave and zap for 3 mins. If when the time is up they are still a little wet then just put back in for another 20 seconds at a time until done. Leave to cool down and then paint.

People like Piers Morgan continually make the point that we don't allow people to purchase tanks or 50 caliber machine guns to defend themselves from government tyranny, so why allow AR-15s. The answer? It is true that society has decided that people should not be able to arm themselves with an Abrams tank, or F-16. But, despite all the technological advances since the Constitution was written, society still believes the core idea of defense against potential tyranny applies. As noted by the ChineseTienanmen Square dissident, a mass number of armed citizens would indeed be able to turn back a modern army -- unless that army was prepared to level a whole city. (The quote is "The argument that a man with a rifle has no standing against the military technology and machine of today" is ridiculous. 20,000,000 residents of Beijing would have quickly proved that wrong had they been armed in 1989."
Essentially, the argument for allowing citizens AR-15s is the concept first advanced by France with its Force de Frappe or Force de dissuasion./ A brief history lesson is in order regarding this, as it is directly applicable to the question Piers Morgan just doesn't get. In sum, after Charles de Gaulle's return to power in 1958, he was concerned that the US would not protect France from a Soviet invasion -- by the 1960s, the US was knee deep in Vietnam, and besides, why would the US risk America for France? As Wikipedia notes -- and is critical to the discussion here -- "The strategic concept behind the Force de Frappe is one of countervalue, i.e., the capability of inflicting to a more powerful enemy more damage than the complete destruction of the French population would represent. The enemy, having more to lose, would therefore refrain from proceeding any further. This principle is usually referred to in the French political debate as dissuasion du faible au fort (Weak-to-strong deterrence) and was summarized in a statement attributed to President de Gaulle himself:
"Within ten years, we shall have the means to kill 80 million Russians. I truly believe that one does not light-heartedly attack people who are able to kill 80 million Russians, even if one can kill 800 million French, that is if there were 800 million French." Similarly, General Pierre Marie Gallois said "Making the most pessimistic assumptions, the French nuclear bombers could destroy ten Russian cities; and France is not a prize worthy of ten Russian cities" and French Admiral de Joybert in his book La paix nucléaire (1975), simply put it this way "Sir, I have no quarrel with you, but I warn you in advance and with all possible clarity that if you invade me, I shall answer at the only credible level for my scale, which is the nuclear level. Whatever your defenses, you shan't prevent at least some of my missiles from reaching your home and cause the devastation that you know. So, renounce your endeavour and let us stay good friends."
The above, along with the facts that the AR-15 has indeed been used multiple times for home defense (as noted in this attached paper), and is almost never utilized in crimes, is the answer why we should allow so called "assault rifles" to the public.

Six years ago today, Tom and I sat down to record our first episode of what would become The Bowery Boys: New York City History podcast.
We've recorded 152 episodes over that time, covering a broad spectrum of the city's history.
Here's the intros from every single one of those shows (with a couple exceptions). How many of these have you listened to?
Heard any that you missed? You can find every episode on iTunes (in our regular and archive feeds), on podcast players like Stitcher, Podfeed and Player.FM, or you can get them straight from our RSS feeds (here and here, open using an RSS-friendly browser).
Note. There are two episodes that didn't have proper introductions (#88 Ellis Island and #4 Famous Dogs of New York), and there's one episode I actually get the number wrong! But I'll let you figure out which one that is.

Groupon honors staffer killed in bike crash with donations for protected lanes
BY MITCH DUDEK Staff firstname.lastname@example.com June 5, 2013 11:18PM
Robert "Bobby" Cann | Facebook photo
Updated: June 7, 2013 12:14AM
Groupon honored one of its employees who was killed last week by a motorist while riding his bike with what it does best: a daily deal.
The deal for Bobby Cann, 26, didn't mention comfort food, kayaking or facials, but instead it appealed to the good will of Grouponers to donate $10 to the Active Transportation Alliance to help fund the expansion of protective bike lanes.
The deal was posted early Wednesday and is slated to run through the week. By Wednesday afternoon the deal had 1,300 takers.
Cann, who rode to work year-round, was killed while riding in the River North area by a driver who was later charged with drunken driving. The street Cann was riding on doesn't have a protected bike lane.
"Bobby was incredibly well-liked, and the news hit people pretty hard," Groupon spokesman Bill Roberts said. "There was a huge outpouring of people who wanted to do something to honor Bobby's memory in a way to have a potential to have a real significant and long-term impact on cyclists throughout Chicago."
Plans are also in motion to name the bike room at Groupon's headquarters at 600 W. Chicago after Cann, he said.
Cann, who grew up in New Hampshire and lived in Lake View, taught himself code and carved out a position at Groupon creating editorial shortcuts for writers of quirky daily deal blurbs. Cann began at Groupon as a writer and was dating fellow Groupon writer, Catherine Bullard, who wrote the following piece that accompanied the memorial:
"Bobby Cann's bicycle was an extension of himself, like a wing sharply slanting from a swallow. As if in rhythm with wind currents, updrafts, and the miniscule permutations of an invisible flock, Bobby soared, rejoicing, through the streets. He swooped down empty neighborhood roads in the quiet of the night, he elegantly circumvented potholes with an arabesque of his wheel, he whizzed down bike lanes in straight and true lines. Bobby loved riding in snow, in heat, alone and in undulating masses. Bobby talked about the Ride of Silence and Critical Mass bicycle rides like some people talk about church: a way to commune with others, to feel joy and belonging as a participant in Chicago's culture.
"It's true of life in general, but it's certainly true of urban cycling: there is no way to control all the elements of your own safety. Bobby prevented harm to himself in every way he could. He always wore a helmet and outfitted his bike with lights. He used hand signals not only to indicate when he turned, but also to point out potholes to fellow cyclists behind him. He carried a patch kit and spare tubes wherever he rode.
"Death can come to us at any time. A meteor can come dashing in from a whirling asteroid belt. The very universe could blink off, just as it once blinked on. In a moment, in a breath, it is over. But living under the stars — a miracle and a wonder that Bobby cherished close in his heart — is not inherently dangerous. So it should be with cycling."
The Active Transportation Alliance is also planning a yet-to-be-named memorial to honor Cann, according to Rebecca Resman, the group's director of membership and development. "There's a study by the American Journal of Public Health that states there's an 89 percent lower chance of injury when riding in protected bike lanes compared to roads with no bike lanes," she said.
