WonderFunder: Candid Kitty Compact Shopping Bags - Set of 3
Roll over image to zoom in
For every Candid Kitty Compact Shopping Bags - Set of 3 purchased, an extra $5 will be donated to help shelter cats get adopted - like Merida's story below!
Merida was brought to an overcrowded county shelter two weeks before Easter. She was thin, disheveled and ready to give birth. Five kittens arrived shortly and, miraculously, four survived, despite the fact that mom seemed to barely have enough energy to care for herself. The following week, Heaven on Earth rescued the young family, setting them up in a cage with fresh linens and lots of food, and providing weary mom with a little help. Her orange fur and bright blue eyes inspired the name Merida from Disney's Brave. Her determined spirit underscored the choice. Relieved and renewed, Merida set about caring for her kittens, two calico girls and two orange boys. Eventually mom and babies went their natural, separate ways. Merida moved into a cage of her own, built up her strength, got spayed and moved down the hall to one of the cat rooms. Her kittens were adopted - the two girls to a family with an older cat and the two boys to first-time pet parents. Mom had raised them well. And then it was her turn. On a late summer evening, Merida joined a family whose pets included a resident cat, a resident dog and another new feline arrival.

Jarren Benton - Move Back (ADHD Remix)
Artist: Jarren Benton
Featuring: Gangsta Boo
Producer: ADHD
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 2.7 ( 10 votes )
As if Atlanta spitter Jarren Benton's Freebasing With Kevin Bacon cut Move Back couldn't get any more live, the emcee has recruited both Atlanta beatsmith ADHD and Memphis rapstress Gangsta Boo for a raucous remix of the record. Benton's Move Back (ADHD Remix) finds the record boasting production that's best described as "trapstep," a sort of emerging subgenre of dubstep. Basically, if dubstep had a cooler younger cousin from College Park, Georgia, trapstep would be it. Aside from ADHD's trappy, dubstep-friendly production, the remix also boasts an added verse from Yelawolf collaborator Boo who in rapid-fire style drops a fitting verse on the uproarious cut. As of now Move Back (ADHD Remix) isn't linked to any project from Benton, but the original version can be found on Freebasing With Kevin Bacon, which can be streamed for free on The DJBooth.

First appearance | 2004 Six Flags advertisements |

Gender | Male |
Mr. Six is an advertising character, first featured in a 2004–05 advertising campaign by the theme park chain Six Flags. Appearing as a bald, decrepit, wrinkled old man wearing a tuxedo and thick-framed glasses, he is usually shown stepping off a bus and inviting stressed and over-worked people to Six Flags by performing a frenetic dance to the Vengaboys song "We Like to Party".
According to USA Today, Mr. Six is the creation of Doner Advertising of Southfield, Michigan. The success of the ad became such that Six Flags toured the vintage bus featured in the ad to all of its 31 parks and sold t-shirts based on the Mr. Six advertisement. Mr. Six also appeared on the nationally broadcast U.S. TV morning show Good Morning America.[1]
The first airing introduced Mr. Six as an apparently elderly, slow-moving man dressed in his trademark tuxedo and large glasses, pulling up in front of a house in a retro-style bus. The occupants of the house are sitting around the front yard apparently very bored. Mr. Six slowly shuffles off the bus, then suddenly comes to life and performs a high-energy dance routine as "We Like to Party" begins playing, and invites the bored family to Six Flags. The dance he performs borrows moves from the Melbourne Shuffle, Jumpstyle, and Techtonik.[2] Subsequent ads showed different variations of Mr. Six dancing and inviting people to Six Flags. The role was, initially, non-speaking.
Soon after the character's introduction in television commercials, Mr. Six became an established pop-culture meme. Parodies of the commercials appeared on television shows and on video sites such as YouTube, while media outlets and blogs attempted to unmask the identity of the actor. The popularity of the character continued even after Six Flags officially cancelled the ad campaign.
On July 9, 2004, Six Flags Great America held a contest to find the best person who could impersonate the new "Ambassador of Fun" Mr. Six and dance like him. The reward would be $2,500 cash and other small prizes. About 200 people, who wore tuxedos and red bow ties, went out onto the stage and danced. The winner of the contest was 13-year-old Jordan Pope. Jim Crowley, Six Flags Great America marketing director, said, "Jordan truly embodies the spirit of Six Flags!...He had Mr. Six's unique dance moves down to a science, the crowd went wild when he took the stage!"[3]
On November 29, 2005, Daniel Snyder, owner of the NFL Washington Redskins football franchise, took over Six Flags and on the very next day, he announced the retirement of the ad campaign. Snyder said that Mr. Six was "pointless." Mr. Six and the "It's Playtime!" motto would be dropped and Six Flags' next ad campaign would be called "Friendly, Clean, Fast, Safe, Service." (Despite this, he was still prominently featured at Six Flags theme parks on merchandise until his revival in 2009.) The Mr. Six campaign was replaced by the "More Flags, More Fun" campaign, which introduced an unnamed Asian character shouting the tagline at viewers.
On February 2, 2009, Mr. Six began appearing in place of the unnamed Asian character in the "More Flags, More Fun" ads on the Six Flags website. In March 2009, Six Flags announced the return of Mr. Six to promote their 2009 season opening in numerous press releases.[4] Mr. Six also resumed appearances in a number of new television commercials where he dances and says the "More Flags, More Fun" tagline, alongside his sidekick Little Six, a much younger version of himself.
Though Mr. Six was popular with the general public and park-goers, the character was described as "creepy" and his reintroduction was criticized in a Time Magazine opinion piece.[5][6]

Kalen Berg is the follower in the Big Butt Bandits in the Rave Master franchise.
He is Kalen Berg, and he is proud of his big butt. He and his gang rob people to make a living. He and his gang love Plue due to his ultimate cuteness.
"Commiter of BIG crimes, Kalen Berg also known as Follower A."
Kalen Berg - Ep. 26 - Introduction
Kalen Berg, who is created by Hiro Mashima, has no current information on what inspires the author to create him. He first appears in Rave Master episode 26. His Japanese voice actor is Masashi Yabe, and his English actor is Michael Sorich.
While the Big Butt bandits try to set up the bomb, Haru and his dog, Plue, show up at the wrong place and at the wrong time. Once Plue sits on the bomb's button, Kalen and Maruko try to get Plue off without setting the bomb while Wonderful Gocche distracts Haru with his life story. Yet, their efforts are in vain, so Wonderful Gocche tells Haru to play Hide and Go seek while they hide. Kalen and the gang rush to rob the vault. Along the way, they slam the door on Musica which Musica thrashes them. Then Kalen and the gang barges into Elie's room when she is dressing. Elie fires at them with her tonfas. Eventually, Kalen and his gang are corner by Musica and Elie until the bandits jump off the train.
He and his gang reappear on Ruby's ship. At first they want to rob the ship, but they meet some rich ladies who dig their big booties. Kalen hears his boss's plan about marrying the women to steal their money. Before that happens, Kalen and the gang find Plue again, and Wondeful Gocche hugs Plue and apologizes to him. Yet, their plans fail when the ladies dump Kalen and his friends for Plue's ultimate cuteness. The gang decides to rob the place by shooting everyone with machine guns until Lilith scares them. Eventually, Kalen and the gang bump into Haru and Elie. After Wonderful Gocche attacks Elie with farts, Kalen does the same thing to Haru which angers Wonderful Gocche. Upon hearing Ruby's story and cry for help, Kalen and the big butt bandits fire their triple gas attack at Franken Billy. However, their attack floods the ship with their horrible stench.

Chemical Weapons:
Better Management Tools Needed to Guide DOD's Stockpile Destruction Program
GAO-04-221T: Published: Oct 30, 2003. Publicly Released: Oct 30, 2003.

(202) 512-6020
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Since its inception in 1985,the Chemical Demilitarization (Chem-Demil) Program has been charged with destroying the nation's large chemical weapons stockpile. After years of planning and building new facilities, the program started destroying the stockpile in 1990. As of October 2003, the program had destroyed 26 percent of the 31,500-ton agent stockpile, and its total estimated cost to destroy the entire stockpile is more than $25 billion. This testimony summarizes GAO's September 2003 report and addresses the following issues: (1) the status of schedule milestones and cost estimates, (2) the impact of the current schedule on the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) deadlines, (3) the challenges associated with managing the program, and (4) the status of the Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP).
The Chem-Demil Program faces schedule delays and higher costs, but it has improved emergency preparedness in communities near the sites. In 2001, the Chem-Demil Program extended its schedule milestones and increased its cost estimates from $15 billion to about $24 billion. Since then nearly all sites have experienced delays,stemming from problems such as: plant safety issues,environmental requirements, approving emergency preparedness plans, and funding shortfalls. The program needs a risk management plan to mitigate problems affecting program schedules, costs, and safety. Program officials say the delays have raised the cost estimates by an additional $1.4 billion, to more than $25 billion as of September 2003. Based on current schedule slippages, GAO believes that costs will grow higher and further delays will occur. Because of schedule delays, the United States will not meet CWC's April 2004 deadline to destroy 45 percent of the stockpile and it risks not meeting the original 2007 deadline to complete destruction of the entire stockpile. Unless the program fixes the problems causing delays,the United States also risks not meeting CWC's deadline of 2012, if extended. The program has suffered from several long-standing management and organizational issues. The lack of sustained leadership has undercut decision-making authority and obscured accountability. The program's complex structure, with multiple lines of authority, has left roles and responsibilities unclear. It does not have an overarching, comprehensive strategy to guide and integrate its activities and monitor its performance. The Army and the Federal Emergency Management Agency have helped state and local communities become better prepared to respond to chemical emergencies. Despite these gains, CSEPP costs are rising because some states have expanded their preparedness requests beyond the approved budgets. These requests amount to $88 million for fiscal years 2004 and 2005.

As Congress works to pass a new immigration law, legislators must realize that neither a border nor the threat of detention will keep a determined parent from trying to reach a child who needs her care.
Once the election is finally over, Congress will decide whether to keep provisions of VAWA that could pose challenges for domestic workers toiling in private homes throughout the United States.
For domestic violence (DV) survivors who rely on the state courts for a wide range of services, budget cuts can add an extra layer of difficulty to their pursuit of a life free from abuse.
As corporations expand their philanthropic giving, an epidemic that affects millions of American women is being pushed further out of sight: Domestic violence. The economic toll that domestic abuse exacts on our social service system, workplaces, and law enforcement is in the billions.
Dwindling options for affordable housing create ongoing challenges for survivors of domestic violence.
Christian woman's advice to abused wives reads like a handbook for ascetic self-mortification.
We are appalled at the immigration provisions that the judiciary committee in the House of Representatives passed in HR4970. This bill erodes protections available to immigrant victims who are the victims of domestic abuse.
Nearly one year after post-election violence in Ivory Coast displaced one million and fostered brutal sexual violence, the country seems to be getting back on track and a new campaign seeks to end the acceptance of violence as "normal."
The sorrow from the loss of a woman like Jana and the prospect of losing other Janas is sobering to a strong woman. It is a stark reminder that there are some things that are simply out of any one woman's control.
This week's power struggle over who would pay for prosecuting domestic violence crimes in Shawnee County, Kansas is both a reflection and a foreshadowing of how anti-tax, anti-government, religiously ideological leaders see their states and our country going. In short, when it comes to making cuts, it's women and children first.

1UP is reporting that Metal Slug is heading to Xbox Live Arcade. In an interesting twist, there were no big announcements on the subject. 1UP simply noticed a blurb about the game in a pamphlet they received at TGS. Supposedly, the game to be released will be the original Metal Slug and not one of its many sequels. No release date has been given, but 2007 seems to be a fair guess at this point. We have two words for you SNK: online co-op. Make it happen.

I've been shooting for sometime now and enjoy making photographs, timelapses, videos, and burritos. I love capturing the emotion and intensity of sports as well as the beauty of landscapes. There is nothing quite like hitting the open road and camping underneath the stars. I'v been to 17 National Parks, and counting, but still enjoy local adventures. The only thing better than capturing the moment with my camera is sharing it, whether that moment is on the field, in a forrest, or around town.
Please get in touch with me if your interested in working together, which National Park to visit, what to have for dinner, or anything else that is on your mind!

Teaching Quantitative Skills in the Geosciences
Quantitative skills are an essential tool for both the geoscientist and the citizen. Helping students master skills ranging from simple arithmetic or graphing, to sophisticated use of equations and models is an integral aspect of teaching geoscience at the undergraduate level.
This website provides information on the issues involved in teaching quantitative literacy, reasoning, and skills and methods for doing so as well as additional resources and a community of other faculty who are all attempting this challenging task.
- Issues and Discussion: An overview of issues and a starting point for discussion. What do we mean by quantitative skills? Which skills are important? This section also includes links to commentaries, a reference list of related articles, and a discussion list where you can discuss your challenges in teaching quantitative skills.
This graphic shows the relationship between topographic profile and slope to make the concept of the derivative clear. Image from the Computational Geology column in the Journal of Geoscience Education, n. 5.
Teaching Resources: Classroom resources focusing on quantitative skills in a geoscience context, including activities, course descriptions, internet resources, and resources for students to use directly.
Teaching Quantitative Skills in Particular Settings: The kind of class and campus setting can pose particular challenges and opportunities for teaching quantitative skills.
Tools and Datasets: Data sets and the tools for working with them can be a good way to engage students' interest with real-world questions.
Community: There is a growing community of people who are interested in improving students' quantitative skills. And that community is larger than just geosciencetists. Join that community and find out about activities going on in this larger arena.

Mike Goulian will perform in his Extra 330SC, the world's newest custom-built premiere aerobatic aircraft. Michael can tell you that "this is the best aerobatic airplane I have ever owned".
Produced by Extra Aircraft of Germany, the 330SC is lighter, faster and more maneuverable than any other aircraft of this type. The main difference between the 330SC and Mike's former air show aircraft, the 300SHP, is its wing design. The new wing and increased maneuverability gives Mike's aircraft an even faster roll rate and gives him the ability to take his air show performance to an even higher level of extreme aerobatics. The Extra tumbles and rotates at awe inspiring rates in almost any attitude, which gives world class pilot Mike Goulian the freedom to use his imagination to create a show to leave the fans wanting more!
Mike's Extra is equipped with a new Hartzell composite propeller. Nicknamed the "Claw", due to its pulling power, the Hartzell propeller is the prop of choice for many of the world's best aerobatic pilots.

I spend a considerable amount of time on the ice each winter and have learned some valuable lessons about the catching aspect of fishing. Simply put, you can't catch fish that are not there.

Also looking to purchase a Pelican-type bulletproof double scoped rifle case. I'd buy a Pelican, but I can't see a dedicated double rifle case. Maybe I''m looking at their website wrong?
Any other comparable brands? Waterproof if possible, as they get thrown around in the back of a truck fording several creeks on the way out to my long distance shooting area, and the bed of the truck tends to get "wet".
Any personal experience/input would be appreciated. Also, airline approved is excellent as well.

What I love about my owners: Mom let me come and eat without chasing me away and in return I eventually let her start petting me.

My cat hobbies: She loves to play and chase the kitties. She loves to hang out with Sylvester 11567 to chase and play with him. She loves him so much.

She wondered into our backyard as she was hungry. She got along well with the outside kitties so I let her eat here. She came on a regular basis then she started hanging out with Baby 13286; Sausha 22506 & Teakee 25544. I started spending more time out there when I fed them and got a few pets in to where she started letting me pet her a little more. She liked it so well that she eventually moved to the back patio with the rest of the kitties. She has claimed the top of the big kitty condo tree for her sleeping bed on the patio.

Rematches are common in wild-card games
The opponents in the four wild-card contests this weekend have already met six times this season.
This is as incestuous as an opening playoff round can be, with all four of the wild-card contests on Saturday and Sunday featuring combatants who faced each other at least once during the 2004 regular season.
But lest anyone conclude that the intimacy inherent to the first act of this year's Super Bowl derby might make for a weekend of mundane matchups, think again. Familiarity can, of course, lead to contempt. It can also translate, in terms of preparing for the wild-card round, into uncharacteristic convenience.
"Really, it might be a little bit easier, because you know the other guys so well, and there isn't a lot they can do to change all that (dramatically)," allowed Minnesota quarterback Daunte Culpepper, who on Sunday will face the Green Bay Packers defense for the third time in the past eight weeks. "It isn't like a (divisional) round game, where there is a bye involved, and you can be more ambitious. You know them and they know you. It might be a bit unusual for the playoffs, but you pretty much just line up and do the things that you do, and see who makes the most plays."
Coordinated trend |
In part because of the infamous fourth-and-26 conversion by the Philadelphia Eagles in last year's divisional-round victory, Green Bay Packers coach Mike Sherman dismissed defensive coordinator Ed Donatell and replaced him with Bob Slowik.
The result: The Packers, who statistically ranked No. 17 in total defense a year ago, fell to 25th in 2004. For the most part, though, the wild card teams playing this weekend who changed their defensive coordinators for the 2004 season benefited from the switches. There is no overriding common denominator among the eight teams that will compete in the first round of the playoffs, but the defensive coordinator alterations are the closest thing to a trend among the wild card qualifiers. Five of the eight teams in the first round had new coordinators in 2004, and some of them promulgated dramatic improvements. The New York Jets, for instance, went from No. 21 in total defense in 2003 to seventh this season under Donnie Henderson, the former Baltimore Ravens secondary coach who was in his first-ever year as a coordinator. The San Diego Chargers rose nine spots, from 27th to 18th, under veteran coordinator Wade Phillips, who installed a 3-4 alignment that worked magnificently. "He's a fiery, aggressive guy and that rubs off on us," said Jets defensive end Shaun Ellis of Henderson, who loves to attack the line of scrimmage. "You want coaches who will let you play, who will take the leash off and let you run, put you in position to make plays. He's done that this year and it's been a lot of fun." -- Len Pasquarelli |
The weekend's four games will bring to 60 the number of wild-card contests played since the NFL adopted the current 12-team playoff format in 1990. It will also raise to 39, or a surprising 65 percent, the number of wild-card games contested by clubs that faced each other at least once during the regular season.
Only once under the current system, in 1996, were there no wild-card matchups featuring franchises that had squared off in the regular season. In every other season, there were at least two games between familiar foes. The 1992 and 1994 playoffs, like this season, had four first-round games in which all the teams had met earlier.
The results of the "familiar foe" wild-card rounds have been decidedly mixed:
• There have been 17 wild-card games in which the teams were divisional opponents who faced each other twice during the season. In nine of those cases, the franchises split the regular-season series. Eight times, one team had swept the season series, and five of those teams went on to win the third matchup, pretty much debunking the popular notion that it is next to impossible to defeat a team three times in the same season. Pittsburgh, which defeated Cleveland three times in 2002, is the last team to compete the trifecta.
• The wild-card round has featured 18 contests in which teams played once in the regular season. The club that captured the regular-season matchup also prevailed in the wild-card game 10 times.
• There are eight instances in which teams that faced each other in the final regular-season game played one week later in the wild-card round. The results are a split, with the club that won the regular-season game also taking the wild-card contest four times. The most recent examples of such back-to-back games were in 2001, when the Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Oakland Raiders and New York Jets faced off twice in two weeks. The Eagles won both games. New York defeated Oakland in the season finale but lost to the Raiders in the playoffs.
The last category is pertinent, of course, to the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts, who will play at the RCA Dome on Sunday just one week after having faced off in the regular-season finale at Invesco Field. The Broncos defeated the Colts last weekend in a game in which Peyton Manning worked only three snaps and then retired to the sideline to don a headset and tote a clipboard around.
"But so what?" said Broncos standout middle linebacker Al Wilson. "We know all about Peyton Manning. We know that they are going to run that 'stretch' (off-tackle) play with Edgerrin (James). That they'll go no-huddle and try to raise the tempo. None of that stuff is going to be new to us, you know?"
Indeed, the Sunday game will mark the fourth time in less than 13 months that the Colts and Broncos will face off. In addition to this year's two games, the teams played twice in a short span last season. Denver thrashed the Colts, 31-17, in a regular-season game on Dec. 21, 2003. Two weeks later, the Colts won 41-10, with Manning registering a perfect quarterback rating in that contest.
" | You're going to be all cranked up anyway, definitely, but playing a team that's in your division, that will get the juices going even more. I mean, here's a team that, by nature, you don't like that much anyway. The last thing you want is for them to knock you out (of the playoffs)." | |
—Seahawks DE Chike Okeafor |
What is unusual about this year's wild-card round is that it will mark just the second time since 1990 that two teams can complete a three-game sweep. In 1997, New England (over Miami) and Green Bay (over Tampa Bay) defeated division rivals twice during the regular season and then in the wild-card matchup. This year, St. Louis and the Packers will have to win a third time against a divisional foe to advance to the second round. The Rams defeated the Seattle Seahawks twice and the Green Bay topped Minnesota twice, both times by 34-31 scores, in the regular season.
It isn't likely, even given the fertile minds of the coaching staffs involved in the two NFC wild-card games, that there will be many new wrinkles. And it certainly doesn't matter all that much that the Vikings and Seahawks are stumbling into the playoffs like punch-drunk boxers who took a few too many right uppercuts to the jaw.
If anything, in fact, some of the players in the wild-card round have suggested that the familiarity angle will actually enhance the passion this weekend.
"You're going to be all cranked up anyway, definitely, but playing a team that's in your division, that will get the juices going even more," said Seahawks defensive end Chike Okeafor. "I mean, here's a team that, by nature, you don't like that much anyway. The last thing you want is for them to knock you out (of the playoffs)."

Re: Peak Venus would destroy Peak Serenka in straight sets
People here are certain that Venus will defeat Serena on grass, but Serena has a 3-2 record against Venus on that surface.
So I'm sorta curious how folks can so easily draw the conclusion that Venus has grass sown up..
They are fairly equal on hardcourt 8-7 (Serena),
Equal on Clay 1-1,
And on Carpet 1-0 (Serena).
Still, with the question being "...at their peak...", it's honestly hard to say.
However, this is my belief...
Serena has the far superior mental
, and simply
to lose, regardless of the opponent.
That alone can and has won her titles against her sister; peaking or not.
Serena also has the far superior serve.
any day in my book.
If the receiver is capable of getting a racket on the ball, there is a chance of getting the ball back.
Also, Serena can handle the heavy returns far better, than Venus can handle off-paced returns.
We've seen this during their matches already.
As it is a rarity for both to be
when they meet anyway, ultimately both will and have suffered from playing the other during the onset of every match. That is something that absolutely has to be taken into account.
Lastly, I honestly believe that we are witnessing peak Serena at the present.
A Serena that has several gears, mixes it up, a superior serve (both first and second; PLUS camouflage), and a continual 'hunger' that rivals the best in the game. And to cap it all off, Serena has significantly reduced her UE count per game.
Conversely, Venus struggles with a first serve even when she's peaking. And neither her first nor second are consistent enough. She also can't seem to maintain her 'peak' like Serena can and has.
If we are talking about peaking, as opposed to 'zoning' Serena wins hands down.
Both are great receivers and heavy hitters, and both scramble incredibly well. Both are fast, but Serena is more explosive.
Peak Venus, I believe, possesses the better net game, though.
My vote goes to Serena.
Just my 2 cents of course.

(Page 2 of 2)
In ''The Night'' (1919), he paints a man whose arm is broken by another man blithely smoking a pipe. A woman wearing only a corset and stockings is bound and splay-legged. Beckmann talked about wanting his pictures to be like musical cacophony. In a corner of ''The Night'' a dog howls. A series of drawings for the painting progress from naturalism to faceted geometry, toward a kind of Cubism. The obvious historical debt is to German Gothic art, with its bone-snapping violence.
Other works from the 1920's show bathers on the Lido and cityscapes of Frankfurt. You can be surprised by the pictures if you imagine Beckmann as a one-note painter. These are overstuffed carnivals, cartoonish and deadpan. Swimmers tumble in the surf and strip. They have a somnambulant, eerie quality, mixing de Chirico with neo-Classical Picasso.
Elements of Picasso and also of Matisse (his sinuous line and voluptuous nudes) weave throughout Beckmann's work, along with bits of Grunewald, Blake, Delacroix and Henri Rousseau (whom Beckmann called a ''grand old friend'' and ''that Homer of the porter's lodge, whose prehistoric dreams have sometimes brought me near the gods''). Beckmann, like most great artists, was omnivorous. He claimed not to like Picasso or Matisse or any abstract art. But then artists often deny admiration for the artists they can't avoid or are most competitive with. Beckmann became a radical modernist almost despite himself.
Everyone could see that, including the Nazis. When Hitler came to power, Beckmann became a target. He lost his teaching job in 1933. The day after Hitler's infamous radio speech about degenerate art in 1937, Beckmann left Germany with his second wife, Quappi, and never returned.
He moved to Amsterdam, where he lived through the war in precarious isolation and straitened circumstances, keeping up his spirits by painting his usual grim pictures, intending all the while to go to the United States, which he reached only in 1947. He taught in St. Louis, filling in for Philip Guston, and at the Brooklyn Museum Art School. He and Quappi took an apartment at 38 West 69th Street in Manhattan. We see him then, in a self-portrait from 1950, wearing a jazzy orange shirt and electric-blue jacket, sucking a cigarette, a newly Americanized Beckmann, wan, drowning in his clothes.
The show at the Modern, like Beckmann, is dense, frequently revelatory and exhausting: all that heavy-handed symbolism and those claustrophobic pictures of clowns, circus performers and cabaret actors, straining the obvious metaphors. Beckmann wrote two plays in which life was a stage. In ''Actors,'' one of his triptychs, he painted an actor wearing a paper crown. The actor looks very much like Beckmann. He is stabbing himself in the chest with a knife: the artist as monarch, poseur and martyr.
I mentioned Gothic art. The triptychs are like medieval passion plays, although the moral is almost always unclear in Beckmann's work. In ''Departure,'' painted during the early phase of Nazi rule, the side panels show people being tortured; the central panel shows a hooded ferryman guiding a mother and child and (again) a king out to sea.
The king drags a net full of fish: St. Peter fishing for souls with the Madonna and Child? The politics are obvious in this case (although Beckmann, unlike Grosz and Otto Dix, generally avoided explicit political statements). Beckmann said the work was also influenced by East Asian philosophy and the cabala, but he was never programmatic about this. Its broad message is deliverance from earthly ordeals.
We can easily get bogged down in the miasma of allusions. Better, I think, not to worry too much about decoding the work, which is articulate enough anyway. Beckmann puts brush to canvas with surprising tenderness. Color becomes increasingly luxurious, not garish. Some of the simplest pictures in the show, like his ''Still Life With Fallen Candles'' or his portrait of the Russian actor N. M. Zeretelli in clown costume, speak as eloquently as the complicated triptychs of Beckmann's large gifts and split nature.
Violence and tenderness. Spirituality and sadomasochism. Not sadomasochism of a crude and simple sort but as a tricky psychological device for imagining the unimaginable, in the sense that Bosch or Goya also fantasized creatively about violence. Beckmann's art depended on holding these sorts of contradictions in tension.
In his last triptych, ''The Argonauts,'' a voluptuous model holds a sword before a painter at his canvas. She sits on a decapitated head. Freud would have a field day with that. Young women play musical instruments. At the center, under a purple sun and two red moons, naked young men stand on a beach before an old man clinging to a ladder. The young bathers recall Beckmann's early work. The old man could be him.
The picture is about time lost, youthful beauty, old age and eternal desire.
Beckmann finished it on Dec. 26, 1950. The familiar story is that the next day he left his apartment on 69th Street to see a show of new American art at the Metropolitan Museum that included his self-portrait in orange shirt and blue jacket. This would be poetic. But really he just went out to walk his dog.
At the corner of 61st Street he suddenly collapsed from a heart attack and died.
''Max Beckmann'' is at the Museum of Modern Art, Queens, 45-20 33rd Street, at Queens Boulevard, Long Island City, (212) 708-9400, through Sept. 29.

Water is essential for life on our planet. Our ecosystems, society and economy all need clean fresh water in sufficient amounts to thrive. But water resources are under increasing pressure in many parts of the world, and Europe is no exception. We must improve the way we use and manage our water resources if we are to continue to benefit from the vital services our water ecosystems provide. More
The River Mur flows from Austria, Slovenia, Hungary and Croatia before reaching Drava, a tributary of the Danube. The organisation managing the Mur Basin was awarded the second European River Prize during the 6th European River restoration conference (ERRC) in Vienna yesterday.
Rivers are home of many thousands of wildlife species, vital arteries for farmland, a source of cooling for industry, flood regulation, navigation channels and source of drinking water, to name just a few important functions. Such multiple demands on water bodies mean that many different groups need to be actively involved in managing a river basin.
Adapting to climate change has reached the political agenda in most European countries, according to the most comprehensive analysis of adaptation in Europe published to date. Extreme weather events and EU policies were the most common reasons for beginning to address adaptation.
Europe's climate continues to change
06 Aug 2014The period from 2004-2013 was the warmest decade on record in Europe. Many other changes significant for Europe have been observed across the climate system, including warming oceans, rising sea level and shrinking snow cover, ice sheets, sea ice and glaciers.
The water at Europe's beaches, rivers and lakes was generally of high quality in 2013, with 95 % of these sites meeting minimum requirements. Coastal sites performed slightly better than inland bathing waters, the data shows.
Improving transparency in water services
06 May 2014The average European directly uses approximately 130 litres of water per day. Better access to data on water supply and treatment may help Europe use this precious resource more efficiently, according to a new report on water utilities.
European households are generating lower levels of nutrient pollution in water, despite a growing population. In a similar example of 'absolute decoupling', levels of some pollutants from agriculture and manufacturing have fallen in recent years, while the economic production of these sectors has grown.

Cougar rolypoly bug chapter 1 . 12/27/2012 I really liked this. To answer your question I would drink from the spring. I, like too many people fear death. Because I fear death I fear life and because of that I don't truly live. I can never risk getting hurt for a little joy that would only last a short amount of time. Being immortal would give me nothing to fear. So what If other people figured out my secret they wouldn't find the spring. And I could finally live. |

Misaki Sayuri chapter 1 . 9/1/2012 This is a short chapter, Reika but it is somewhat well written. To answer your question, I wouldn't drink from the spring, because I think that the longer you live, the less meaning your life is. |
