I don't know how I missed this when it came out, but I love it. I think it's a little bit because I love words and a little bit because I love fonts and a little bit because I love dogs and cats and birds.

This inventive picture book begins by asking if readers can tell the difference between a dog, a cat and a bird. The book goes on to explain the differences, such as a the dog lives outside during the day and the bird hates its cage. But instead of an illustration of the animals, Boyer has replaced them with the word for the noise they make: woof, meow, and tweet-tweet. The book continues showing the differences between the animals and eventually explores what happens when they meet each other, ...more

Every once in a while, I can tell a book isn't written by an American without knowing anything about the author (in this case, I didn't even see her name first before reading). This isn't a bad thing, as I really enjoyed this funny picture book about the differences between cats, dogs, and birds. But as soon as I saw the spread about the dog peeing on a wall, I was pretty sure we were dealing with a European import (indeed, from France).

I particularly liked the feel of this book. It uses simple concrete poetry to show the animals. So you have "meow" sitting on a stuffed chair, quietly sitting just like a cat would, as the text says, "The cat prefers the comfort of a nice interior." The simple illustrations and text combine nicely with the concrete poetry to bring you into the story nicely. A good introduction to concrete poetry for young kids - not cluttered or busy, but simple and direct.

This book tells the story of a dog, cat, and a bird and what happens when they all meet. The illustrations consist of the words "woof," "meow," and "tweet," instead of actual images of a dog, a cat and birds. From an adult point of view, I think it is an interesting concept and graphically pleasing to me. However, the simplicity of the story would make the age this book is suited for too young to understand the abstract concept of the words replacing the animals.

Shelves: animals, picture-books-classics, print-awareness, international
The dog, cat and bird in this book are represented by their sounds, in text: the bold, brown "woof" of the dog, the more refined "meow" (a serif font) of the cat, and the more delicate, thin "tweet-tweet" of the bird. Not much of a storyline but rather an exploration of what dogs, cats & birds are like. I think children will enjoy the concept and it helps to emphasize print awareness. Originally published in France as Ouaf Miaou Cui-Cui.
Jul 07, 2012 Sarah rated it 4 of 5 stars
Using a crisp graphic style, this picture book uses font, layout, and text to illustrate the differences among dogs, cats, and birds. The sound each makes stands in for the animal, so when we see a cat's favorite nap place, for example, there's a picture of a comfy sofa and the word "meow" nestled into one of the pillows. Simple concept, cleverly done.

This book receives five stars because it was a totally new art concept that I have not seen before. Very simple drawings that were nothing fabulous BUT instead of showing the main characters of the story (the dog, cat, and bird) the illustrator used the words WOOF, MEOW, and TWEET-TWEET to represent the animals. Very clever!

Shelves: children-0-12, fiction, picture-books
Not bad, but I think I would have preferred it in French. I liked seeing the animals' respective sounds being used to represent the animals. A couple of parts that I thought were just "OK." A couple that I really liked. The ending seemed kind of off, but maybe that was a translation thing.
Jan 13, 2013 Shawna rated it 4 of 5 stars
What an interesting concept, using the sounds the animals make to represent the animals themselves. This book shares some of the characteristics of a dog, a cat, and a bird. I loved the illustration when the animals meet! I think my students would enjoy having this read to them!
Oct 31, 2012 Jen rated it 4 of 5 stars
a book about cats, dogs and birds that doesn't have any pictures of any animals, just the noise they make in their natural environments. very interesting. Makes some broad generalizations about each animals behaviour however. could be a good book for participation.

Neato! The dog, cat and bird are represented in the illustrations by the words "woof," "meow," and "tweet-tweet." Very sparse but effective design. BUT very advanced vocabulary - "venture," "interior," "solitary," "commotion."

This book is enjoyable because the geometric artwork is brightly colored and it uses the sound words to depict how a cat, a dog, and a bird differ in their daily activities. Really cute, comical, and great for ages two and up.

Clever. Good for any dog, cat, or bird storytime. Kids will especially like the scenario of what happens when these creatures all meet. Especially if they can make the noises too!!!

What if animals in a picture book manifested themselves as the words describing the sounds they make? Kind of a arty picture book, but great for those who like that kind of thing.

Great illustrations, and a great premise—each animal is represented by the word for the sound it makes. Each gets its own font, and it's amazing how expressive they are.

Unless or until it's stopped, the National Labor Relations Board regulation that denies employees time to consider whether to join a union by putting union elections on an inappropriately fast track will go into effect on April 14th. This is troubling to manufacturers because there is scant evidence anywhere that the union election process needs to be sped up at all and the regulation would force employers to turn over closely guarded personal information such as an employee's cell phone number and work schedule.

A Fight Worth Having
NAM Files Brief to Overturn NLRB Decision on Technical Refusal to Bargain
In the wake of the 2011 Specialty Healthcare decision by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the country has seen a proliferation of so-called "micro-units" instead of the traditional "wall-to-wall" bargaining units. The change in the test for determining the appropriate size of a bargaining unit has led to the creation of these smaller micro-units even when every other factor, especially common sense, points in the opposite direction.

NLRB Loses in the Fifth Circuit, But the Controversy Continues
For reasons not entirely clear to legal experts, the NLRB opted to not appeal a Fifth Circuit ruling in D.R. Horton, Inc. v. NLRB reversing their stance that a company cannot require its employees to consent to mandatory arbitration and class action waivers. The Fifth Circuit is not alone; other federal and state courts have also disfavored the NLRB's viewpoint. Despite this trend and although the NLRB allowed the deadline to pass without requesting certiorari, attorneys involved in the controversial issue expect the that the agency will not change its position.
When the case entered federal court, the NAM filed an amicus brief. on June 6, 2012 arguing that prohibiting mandatory arbitration and class action waivers upon employment will increase costs for companies and result in unnecessary litigation. Furthermore, the NAM challenged the NLRB's authority to regulate individual contracts dealing with rights not covered by the National Labor Relations Act. The court agreed and determined that the NLRB's decision went beyond its statutory authority.
As the landscape now stands, companies will likely prevail in federal court on the issue, but will still battle the NLRB at the agency level. It is possible that the NLRB refused to appeal the case to the high court because it feared an adverse ruling. If this clash between agency and federal court continues, the Supreme Court will likely have to review the issue. The NAM will continue to weigh in on this issue and take whatever steps appropriate to prohibit the NLRB from stepping outside its statutory authority.

NAM Backs Boeing after Misguided Decision by NLRB Judge
Individual cases before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) rarely get noticed by anyone other than labor or employment lawyers, but that doesn't mean they aren't worth watching. These decisions have broad implications for all employers, not just the one involved directly in the case.
Recently, an NLRB administrative law judge (ALJ) issued a decision that, if allowed to stand, would have significant implications for manufacturers and their intellectual property. The judge concluded that Boeing's prohibition of cameras—a policy that has been in place for 35 years—constitutes an unfair labor practice because Boeing has no credible business need to protect its manufacturing process. Of course, as technology has developed, the rule has captured additional devices, and today smartphones fall under the ban.
Boeing has good reason to be cautious about allowing unfettered photographic access to its shop floor. For one, its competitors and some foreign governments would love to get their hands on Boeing's proprietary information. The ALJ would make that easy for corporate spies—just go to an employee's Facebook page and study photos from inside Boeing. In addition, many of Boeing's products are subject to strict export controls. Making photos of these products or processes public could violate federal law.
The NLRB's decision puts Boeing in a tough spot, creating a problem where none existed. And, besides, NLRB lawyers shouldn't be in the business of creating new rights for employees in the first place.
Because of the dangerous precedent this case could set for future disputes before the NLRB, the NAM filed a brief highlighting this overreach and the impact it would have on businesses, particularly manufacturers. For more information about the case, click here.
Ask an Expert: What's the deal with the NLRB?
When the Senate confirmed nominees to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) late last month, it marked the first time that all five seats had been filled since 2003. It also marked a turning point in labor policy. Recently, decisions rested with an unbalanced configuration that almost never had a dissenting view. That did not seem right. After all, the NLRB is an extension of a government founded on the belief that tyranny of the majority is just as undemocratic as dictatorial rule.
Although the National Association of Manufacturers does not tend to agree with NLRB on a lot of its more recent opinions, we welcome a fully-staffed board ready to engage in the kind of robust debate of the issues that should take place before making decisions that impact our labor law system. Dissenting opinions are an important part of litigation. They often help to clarify a ruling, even when the overall outcome leaves something to be desired. A dissenting opinion could become the basis for why a law should change or why a previous ruling should be overturned.
Completing the NLRB roster brings the agency's legitimacy back into play. Manufacturers are hopeful that the board's members will avoid partisan politics as they carefully weigh all the options and opinions at hand. Our democracy depends on a healthy dose of dissent to properly function. So does our labor law system.
Amanda Wood is the director of employment policy for the National Association of Manufacturers.
More Bad News for NLRB
It seems like each new week brings another setback for the National Labor Relations Board. This morning, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit issued a ruling invalidating President Obama's recess appointments to the Board. The Third Circuit ruling was essentially the same as the conclusion reached by the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit – the President's recess appointment power was intended for times between sessions of Congress not simply short breaks taken during a session for lawmakers to return home to their states.
This week's ruling follows on the heels of another defeat for the Board last week that invalidated its notice posting rule after nearly two years of legal wrangling. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit invalidated the notice posting rule as a result of a suit filed by the NAM in September of 2011.

NLRB Website 'Hanging Tough' with Poster Rule
Is it possible for an entire federal agency to be in denial? The National Labor Relations Board has been rebuked, rebuffed and reminded by the Courts that its powers are not limitless. Yet, the Board remains curiously silent about the ruling last week that served as a body-blow to an agency that just two years ago was sticking out its chest and poking its proverbial bully-finger at businesses.
The NLRB website still has a page dedicated to an out-of-date poster with no mention of the fact that it has been rejected by the Courts. It's like returning to your parents' home and finding they still haven't torn down the New Kids on the Block poster in your sister's room. It's kind of cute, but also a little discomforting. It might be time for the Board to acknowledge its poster idea was ill-conceived and take it down once and for all.
NLRB Authority Does Have Limits
Yesterday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit announced its ruling in a case the NAM filed with regard to posting notices in the workplace. The legal questions raised by the Board issuing a rule proactively regulating virtually every employer in the country are unique in some ways and very simple in others.
During oral argument before the Court of Appeals, one judge asked the attorney representing the Board a basic question. What, if any, limits are there on the NLRB's authority? The attorney quickly – and shockingly – responded that in the Board's view there are no limits to their power. Yesterday, the Court issued a strong rebuke to that line of thinking and highlighted the shaky ground the NLRB is on with regard to its agenda.
In the four-page concurring opinion, Judges Henderson and Brown stated: "And the Congress, in enacting the NLRA, prescribed that the Board use reactive means to enforce its policies – namely, through an unfair labor practice proceeding initiated by a charging party or by resolving representations and election issues when so petitioned by a party." (Emphasis in original) In concluding the concurring opinion, Judge Henderson wrote, "In sum, given the Act's language and structure are manifestly remedial, I do not believe Congress intended to authorize a regulation so aggressively prophylactic as the posting rule."
The NAM agrees, which is why the lawsuit was filed. The ruling and concurring opinion released yesterday were spot on – and now the Board has been put on the spot. Do they double-down and petition the Supreme Court or do they finally acknowledge there are limits to the power they wield?
U.S. Supreme Court Next Stop for NLRB Recess Appointees
This afternoon, the Administration petitioned the Supreme Court to take up the case regarding the recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in the Noel Canning case. On January 25 the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit definitively decided these appointments, made on January 4, 2012, were unconstitutional, thus bringing the NLRB down to one member and lacking a quorum to issue case decisions or issue rules. Despite the strong and clear opinion by the D.C. Circuit, the NLRB continues to flaunt the Court's ruling with two invalid recess appointees and only one member confirmed by the Senate. This situation is leaving those in the labor community to wonder if the cases being decided are valid and have to be followed.
It was expected the Administration would seek to have clarity and final say on this issue; however, it is curious that in a quick read of the petition, the Administration argues that the appointments are valid based on decades of precedent established by former Presidents, cites the British House of Commons Parliamentary practice from 1772, the Articles of Confederation from 1781 and the Constitutional Convention of 1787. It will now be up to the Supreme Court to settle this dispute once and for all.
NLRB Nominations Full
Today, President Obama announced his nomination of Mark Pearce for Chairman of the National Labor Relations Board and two other individuals to join current recess appointee/nominees Richard Griffin and Sharon Block. What this means is every slot on the NLRB currently has someone nominated, but only one has actually been confirmed by the Senate – Chairman Pearce, whose term expires in a few months. The new nominees, both Republicans, are Harry I. Johnson III and Phillip A. Miscimarra.
Mr. Johnson is a partner with Arent Fox in Los Angeles, CA and is a graduate of Harvard Law. Mr. Miscimarra is a partner at the law firm of Morgan Lewis in Chicago and holds a J.D. and M.B.A. from the University of

Melton concussion adds to worrisome injury list for Bears
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Bears went into the preseason game against the Carolina Panthers without No. 3 wide receiver Earl Bennett, who stayed in Chicago with the after-effects of a concussion suffered the previous Friday in practice. The concussion problem deepened for the Bears against the Panthers when defensive tackle Henry Melton left in the first quarter with what later was diagnosed as a concussion.
Wide receiver Brandon Marshall did not dress for the Carolina game and has missed practice time this training camp after being held out of most work through OTA's and minicamps following offseason hip surgery. Player and team have maintained that the camp time off has been for rest, but until the Bears' No. 1 wideout is back without interruption, some concern will linger over one of the linchpins of the 2013 offense.
[MORE: Bears' Bostic making strong case to start at middle linebacker]
Long snapper Pat Mannelly left Friday's game with a rib injury after being blindsided by Carolina tight end Richie Brockel while covering a punt. Linebacker James Anderson is listed as the No. 2 long snapper and handled those chores the remainder of the game.
Defensive end Julius Peppers worked out with team staffers before the game but is still out with a tender hamstring that took him out of practice last Saturday night at Comcast Bears Family Fest. Defensive end Corey Wootton was given the night off to rest minor hip and hamstring nicks but is expected back at practice on Sunday.

The Perfect Respite
When we arrived the owner greeted us. He had opened all the windows and the wonderful aroma of honeysuckle permeated the whole house. He explained the tv and dishwasher and couldn't have been any nicer.
Be prepared though, the three mile ride up the winding roads takes some getting use to , but it's worth it to stay in such a quiet, peaceful setting.
We were both sorry when we had to leave. Loved it!

Church Settles Lawsuit from Tulsa Boxer's Death
By KWGS
A civil lawsuit has been settled concerning a Tulsa man who died after a boxing match held in a church.
The lawsuit was filed by the family of George Clinkscale III, seeking damages of more than $75,000 and punitive damages, and alleging negligence by Guts Church.
The 24 year old former University of Tulsa linebacker died shortly after the boxing event, which took place in September 2011.
According to an autopsy, "sudden exertional death" resulting from complications from sickle cell trait caused Clinkscale's death.

Singapore's Chinatown Trishaw Night Tour
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Singapore's Chinatown Trishaw Night Tour. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
This was a fantastic tour. Well organised from the hotel pick up to drop off.
Trishaw ride through Chinatown was an experience we will never forget. The cruise along the river was very pretty with all the Christmas decorations lining the banks.
I did this tour as a solo traveler and found it amazing. There is so much in one night yet it doesn't seem rushed at all. Over all, one of the best tours I have been on in Singapore. Will do this tour again when I come back with my kids next year.
This was the highlight of our trip. An informative trip around Chinatown in the bus, a good meal in a local restaurant, a mooch around the markets, a trishaw ride in Chinatown, then a ride up the river from Clarke Quay, seeing the city by night, all for a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend this tour.
Great tour-lots of fun and informative.
This tour was amazing!
great tour
Very well organised
This was a good all round tour Trishaw ride great and boat ride also excellant
It was enjoyable fun tour that I have ever taken! I highly recommended if this is your first time to Singapore.
It was great fun, great trishaw bike rider and river cruise.
Would recommed
This tour is fantastic and great value for money!
We really did not know what to except from this tour but what a fantastic night we had. OK the food was mediocre but the trishaw ride and the river cruise was excellent, didn't want the night to end. Seeing the night lights of Singapore from the river was magic. Our tour guide was very informative and had a great sense of humour.
Great fun and the Trishaw ride was probably the highlight of my stay in Singapore. The meal was tasty although pretty standard fare but the beer (cost extra) was the cheapest we found in Singapore at $6 for a 650ml bottle. The trishaw ride was fabulous, touring the streets of the night market before pulling out in to the mainstream traffic for a ride down to Clarke Quay. The bumboat ride was excellent showing off Singapore at its best when it is all lit up at night. All in all I think the trip was very good value and would certainly recommend it.
This tour was amazing!
This tour rocked it is a must do!! I would highly recommend this tour. Great value for money. Food was fantastic. The rickshaw ride interesting and the river tour was a great way to see the night lights and explore the city from the river.

Chicken Vegetable Soup with Pasta
By MelanieCarr on December 18, 2012
Dinner tonight was Chicken Noodle Soup. The following is not an exact recipie, I'm afraid. The idea was to use as much of the free stuff I had as possible. Anything marked with an astrix (*) was from the food bank.
Important thing to note about using freebies: learn to think technique, not recipies. If you learn basic techniques and are not afraid to be creative, no matter what you have you can eat well.
- 2 Large chicken breasts, bone in *
- Parsnip
- Carrot
- Celery Sticks*
- Fennel stalks (the parts growing out the top of the bulb, including the feathery leaves)
- Leeks* (split in half and rinse, but do not chop)
- Chopped garlic
- Handful of fresh picked herbs - Thyme, Rosemary, Parsley, and Marjoram
- Whole peppercorns
Bring all ingredients to a boil in a large pot with about two quarts water. Cover to help it boil faster. Simmer 30-45 minutes unil the chicken is done. Remove chicken, reserving one breast for a later meal. Cool, de-bone and chop chicken coarsly. Strain out and discard the remaining ingredients, reserving the broth for the soup.
- Cooked, chopped chicken from one large, whole breast
- Reserved broth
- Assorted chopped vegetables, to taste: carrot*, leek*, celery*, parsnip, and sugar snap peas* where used.
- 4 oz. small pasta (stars in this case)
- Croutons (recipie follows)
Return reserved broth to a simmer. Add all ingredients except pasta, peas (if you are using them) and croutons. When soup has simmered about 10 minutes, add the pasta. Break up the pea pods into bite-sized pieces. Add to soup about 5 mnutes after the pasta. Cook 5 minutes until peas are done. Serve in bowls topped with croutons.
- Whole Wheat Bread*, a little dry is good
- Italian Herb Mix
Heat oven to 300 degrees. Cut bread into cubes and place in a plastic bag. Sprinkle on Herb Mix and shake to coat. Place bread cubes on a baking tray. Toast about 10 minutes until cubes are dry.

My philosophy about F/G is really simple. Treat me like you want yourself to be treated. Very simple. If I see a memorial that I'd like to have transferred to me, I'll simply ask for it. Likewise, if you see a memorial I've submitted that you'd like to have transferred to you, just ask for it. I could care less if the person is related to you, or not. If you want it, and there's no reason for me to keep it, you can have it. It's just that simple. I do this because I love it. A lot of people just don't have the time to do this. In reality, I have no connection to at least 90% of the memorials I submit. I submit them because no one else has.
I know, there are those out there that claim they adhere to all rules, and will make no exceptions for anyone for any reason, whatsoever. You know the ones I'm talking about. We've all had to deal with them at one time or another. Guess what, they don't adhere to all the rules, either! I guarantee if you look at their totals, most of them manage a lot more memorials than they've ever added. I find it hard to believe all those extras adhere to the rules for relationship.
That, my friends, is why I'm not about numbers, and I really don't care about the persons relationship to you. Look, every memorial I create then transfer to someone else, will forever have my name as the original creator. So, don't be so possessive of the memorials you create. This is not a competition folks, as much as some try to make it be. I realize Find A Grave is a grave registration site. But, this could be one of the best sites ever for genealogical research if only everyone would work together, show a little understanding, a little courtesy, and throw in just a little bit of good old common sense.
Like all of us, there are some memorials I won't transfer. But, the only time I won't transfer a memorial is when the person is in one of my direct ancestry lines, my aunts/uncles, a few cousins, and a handful of friends I hold dear to my heart. As for the information I post, feel free to use any info I submit. You do not need my permission. That's why I put it on here in the first place.
Now, since I've been so nice to you, I expect the same considerations given to me. If I request a memorial to be transferred to me, it is usually a direct ancestor, or a very close aunt, uncle, or cousin. On rare occasions, I may even request a memorial of a very dear friend. The only deviation from this is that from time to time I may request the memorial transfer of a Confederate soldier, if it's apparent the soldier is probably not related to the submitter. But, no matter who's memorial I request, I always stipulate, "unless this person is your relative." However, if you don't want to make the transfer, at least give me a good reason why you won't. Don't just keep putting me off, and don't start ignoring my requests completely. Common courtesy is all I'm asking for, and expect. But, don't come on here and complain about things that just don't matter. If you absolutely can't help but complain, then complain about things that really matter, like child abuse, elder abuse, children having to go to bed hungry, or our returning military personnel having to live on the streets. Please, complain about those things, LOUDLY!
Now, that said, I do have one pet peeve on F/G, but it's only a common sense thing. Please, if you're going to take the time to create a new cemetery, make sure you have the correct name, provide the complete address, accurate written directions, and the correct map. It doesn't take much time, and can ensure future submissions are added to the right cemeteries.
Otherwise, I have been researching my family genealogy for over thirty years. I have published three books so far, Confederate Graves of Emanuel County, Georgia, in 2009, a color edition of the book in 2010, and The Ridgdill Genealogy, in 2011. All are available online.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Mike, I'm sorry, but I'm asking you to please delete this memorial. I had put some pictures of her taken recently on it, but after her daughter supplied me with a picture of her when she was younger, I replaced them with it. But when I posted it to Facebook, it retained the old pictures. I don't know why this happens, but I've had this problem before. Anyway, I had to create a new memorial with the new picture in order to post to Facebook. Please remove this one:

How refreshing to read such an Unselfish Bio/Profile page. So far, I've had a couple of folks that you have described. They gave me a bad taste and I almost let it stop me from working in Find A Grave. I am so grateful for people like yourself, you are appreciated for work you do!

RE: Just stopping by......
Sorry, my email is not working right now, grrr lol.
In reply....
Here is some sites to start with:
I began looking for info on King Clovis "The Riparian" I, of Cologne, my 43rd Great Grandfather and went back further through wikipedia to connections to King Clodomir I of Sicambri. A lot of the genealogy has already been in old history books going back to Noah "Father of All Humanity".
These generations can not be proven but it was fun and if it isn't fun then why bother.
It's been a long genealogy day and I'm tired.
Have a good night,
Connie ;-)

Mike & Nancy,
There is another memorial for Him.
Maintained by: Find A Grave
Record added: Jul 30, 1999
Find A Grave Memorial# 6017
From what information I have gathered through many history books He would be my 13th cousin 59 times removed. Yes, I even treat the Bible as a history book. When I first began working on His line it was working out that He was my uncle many times removed but as you know after getting deeper into genealogy, a shifting of relationships begin but when I had first seen the relationship was uncle, calling Him "Uncle Jesus" stuck.
Have a great day and yes, May God bless you and yours,

Just read your profile page and had to say
Thank you !
I was sitting here doing my genealogy and it came to me with all the very old ancestors that has been put on Find a Grave I wondered if they had one for Him. So I typed in His name not expecting anything but there it was... so I visited your memorial # 141798276. Thank you again. It was nice to see it was in good taste. You have kept it open minded which I like. Keep up the nice work your doing on Find a Grave.
Have a great day,

The Triumphal Return of Taddeo Gaddi's Maestà Conserved
With its lavish gold leaf background, Gaddi's panel was an expensive commission for a private Florentine palazzo and for its time was cutting-edge art. Originally the central section of a folding triptych consisting of three panels, it will be exhibited with two wings (sportelli) from a private collection that recently have been linked to it. Their similar dates, measurements, traces of hinges, and related iconographies suggest that the trio may once have been part of the same triptych. At the very least, seen together they help us to envision and reconstruct how the Maestà appeared in its original glory. Thomas Jefferson Bryan bequeathed the Gaddi panel to the Historical Society in 1867, along with his entire collection. Bryan was an early connoisseur of Italian "primitives," i.e., painters before Raphael, a taste then avant-garde. As the New York City's first museum, New-York Historical wrote an early chapter in preserving the culture of the City, and Bryan played a pioneering role in its collecting history, amassing works by both European and American artists. Fittingly, Gaddi's painting will be displayed with a several other fourteenth- and early-fifteenth-century Italian panels from the Bryan (both sacred and profane, such as a cassone front with the Triumph of Caesar) and Thomas Sully's dashing portrait of the young Bryan. Other materials will illuminate this donor's contribution to the history of American collecting.

Z06 fans: now you can have your cake and eat it, too. GM has released images of the 2015 Corvette Z06 Convertible. I think it is as beautiful as it is fast. You're looking at the most powerful convertible Chevrolet has ever built, and probably the most fun way to mess up your hair.
What is it about European Corvettes? They're so menacing. An American version of this Z06 would remind me of a tire-smoldering weekend at the track, or a bit of hooning between the stoplights. When I look at this "Wallpaper Wednesday" car, I see a Corvette that looks like it just chased an innocent Ford Fiesta through a British shopping mall.
There are simple mods like upgrading your air filter, to complex mods like engine swaps. Lighting mods, however, can run the entire spectrum, from basic to highly technical and everything in between. Whether you want to light up your Corvette like Clark Griswold lit up his house in "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation", or you have a more restrained lighting mod in mind, this post is for you.
This week's Corvette of the Week comes from "Jesterissimo", but to the mortals outside of Corvette Forum, he's known as "Rob". This 2014 Stingray is sitting on a drop-dead gorgeous set of HREs; they go with the Laguna Blue Tintcoat like chips go with salsa. Yum.
OK, so it looks like it was part of a monster truck stunt gone wrong, but at least it's in once piece. Corvette #1.5 million is the seventh of the "Great Eight" Corvettes to be removed from the sinkhole at the National Corvette Museum.

Something is amiss in Canada. A 2014 UNICEF report compared the health and development of children in Canada with 28 other wealthy nations. In spite of being a G8 country, Canada's children rank number 17th, a status that has not budged in the last 10 years. The question is, why are these problems still so widespread?

Ducks to rock Rocketts Aug. 11
If you're still reeling from the region's crazy weather extremes of the last month, better brace yourself for next week's forecast.
On Aug. 11, Rocketts Landing will be raining ducks.
As many as 20,000 rubber ducks, in fact, will splash into the James River at the 23rd Annual Big Brothers Big Sisters Duck Race, courtesy of thousands of citizen and corporate donors who support the mentoring work of BBBS.
The owner of the lucky duck – the swift swimmer who leads the flock from the old Annabelle Lee dock starting gate to The Boathouse finish line – will take home a new Nissan Versa donated by Priority Nissan.
Among other prizes will be the chance to play Honorary Squirrel for a Day with the Richmond Flying Squirrels; outings to Busch Gardens, Dave & Busters, and Richmond International Raceway; a kayak donated by Dick's Sporting Goods; and a burrito a week for a year at Qdoba.
Proceeds from duck sales, as always, will support BBBS programs pairing children with adult mentors in their community, which includes not only Richmond and its suburban counties but also Colonial Heights and the Tri-Cities area.
As Mark Bowen, manager of marketing and corporate relations for BBBS, pointed out recently, "We offer our [matching and mentoring services] free to the family; it doesn't cost them a cent. But it's not a free service to supply."
Receiving only limited funding from government sources – such as a federal grant that helps with mentoring of military families at Ft. Lee – the growing organization relies heavily on the Duck Race, the largest of its four annual fundraisers.
Bowen, who has been making the rounds of local grocery stores and businesses to sell ducks, noted that the one-on-one relationships fostered by BBBS have been shown to lower the chances of truancy and drug use by almost half among participating children.
"So we are always looking for numbers, for more matches; but we also want quality over quantity," Bowen said, emphasizing that long-term stability in a mentoring relationship is the ideal. "We try to keep matches together as long as we can; that makes the bigger difference in a child's life and the bigger difference in the community overall."
The new venue for the race and family festival, which in past years took place at Brown's Island, represents just one of several changes that have come about as BBBS marks its 50th anniversary year in Richmond.
The start time of the festival, which used to be 11 a.m., has been moved back until 2 p.m. (with a duck drop time of 5 p.m.) to take advantage of cooler temperatures. The Duck Race's social media presence has also been stepped up, with Facebook ads allowing fans to "like" the race, and Twitter updates regarding duck sales issued several times a day.
What's more, said Bowen, BBBS is offering online duck sales for the first time ever -- and web purchases are increasing daily.
"You can go directly from the Facebook page [or BBBS home page] to buy ducks," said Bowen, indicating that not only do online sales represent a convenience for duck buyers, but also a time saver for the staff.
With any luck, said Bowen, the internet will one day replace "retail" sites as the primary source of duck sales -- freeing staff from fundraising tasks to focus on their matching and mentoring mission.
But until then, Bowen can be found roaming the Richmond region, working up to six corporate duck sales a day. Among the Henrico businesses that have hosted sales in recent weeks are Snagajob, Richmond International Raceway, Markel, Dominion Power in Innsbrook and Quaker Steak and Lube, he said.
One of the Henrico trips Bowen relishes most, however, is set to take place August 3 at Genworth Financial – where he says he can always count on a duck-buying frenzy.
"At Genworth," Bowen said confidently, "we'll sell five- to six-hundred ducks in two hours."
The 2012 Duck Race festival will take place Aug. 11 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Rocketts Landing, with the duck drop taking place at 5 p.m. To purchase ducks, or to volunteer at the Duck Race, visit http://tinyurl.com/cfkutx7 or call 261-4940.

A taste of Japan
Ichiban offers rich Asian flavors, but portions lack
In a spot that could be easily overlooked is a surprising, and delicious, Japanese restaurant. In a tiny nook in the shops at the corner of Ridgefield Parkway and Pump Road sits a welcoming, warm and comfortable Asian restaurant called Ichiban, which means "the best."
The restaurant, tucked between a couple others in the Gleneagles Shopping Center, was so quiet and dark that it was difficult to tell if it was open at 6:30 p.m. on a Monday. When I opened the door, I smiled when I looked inside. > Read more.
One beauty of a charmer
Disney's no-frills, live-action 'Cinderella' delights
Cinderella is the latest from Disney's new moviemaking battle plan: producing live-action adaptations of all their older classics. Which is a plan that's had questionable results in the past.
Alice in Wonderland bloated with more Tim Burton goth-pop than the inside of a Hot Topic. Maleficent was a step in the right direction, but the movie couldn't decide if Maleficent should be a hero or a villain (even if she should obviously be a villain) and muddled itself into mediocrity.
Cinderella is much better. Primarily, because it's just Cinderella. No radical rebooting. No Tim Burton dreck. It's the 1950 Disney masterpiece, transposed into live action and left almost entirely untouched. > Read more.

Justify My Love (video)

|Madonna chronology
Justify My Love was the first VHS video single to be released by American singer Madonna. This was the first time an artist had released a single in this format. It was released by Warner Music Vision, Warner Reprise Video and Sire to capitalize on the controversy surrounding the music video to "Justify My Love", which was subsequently banned by MTV. It contained the highly controversial and sexually charged video.
On December 3, 1990, ABC's Nightline played the video in its entirety, then interviewed Madonna live about the video's sexual content and censorship. When asked whether she stood to make more money selling the video than airing it on MTV, she shrugged and answered, "Yeah, so? Lucky me." She also mentioned that the banning was hypocritical as male artists were able to show music videos on the channel that contained sexist and violent imagery. She also mentioned that in her "Vogue" music video, she had worn a see-through lace top that exposed her breasts, but this was passed by the channel.[2]
The video contained imagery of sadomasochism, voyeurism, and bisexuality. Madonna biographer Mark Bego commented that "Throwing a scandal Madonna's way is like throwing gasoline on a fire." The controversy turned out to be a publicity and financial coup, with the single spending two consecutive weeks at #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 in early 1991.[2]
The video single was released exclusively in the United States and Europe, and was never released anywhere else in the world.
Released on VHS only, the packaging in North America was a plain black slip cover with a sticker around it, so that it resembled a "seedy video". In Europe, it was given the full cover artwork treatment, and they also included a bonus video of Madonna's performance of "Vogue" at the 1990 MTV Music Video Awards, which was ironic as MTV had banned the title track. In the UK, the video was given an "18" certificate by the BBFC, meaning no one under that age could legally buy or see the release.[3]
The video was filmed primarily in grainy black and white in the style of a 1960s European art film. The action takes place in an elegant hotel that apparently caters to alternate-lifestyle couples. Madonna (or her character) enters looking tired and distressed as she walks down the hallway toward her room. There, she has a romantic fling with a mysterious man (played by Tony Ward). Some of the doors to the other rooms are ajar, and we catch glimpses of various couples cavorting in BDSM fetish outfits (leather, latex bodysuits, and corsets).
In a dream-like sequence, Madonna rolls around in bed wearing skimpy-lace underwear while various figures come and go. The only nudity (which led to the video being banned) occurs when a topless dominatrix-type woman (suspenders partly covering her breasts) appears and roughly grabs a bound man (the same man who is with Madonna) by the hair. Her outfit, which includes a peaked leather hat and black gloves, copies the iconic ensemble worn by Charlotte Rampling in the controversial film The Night Porter. (Both the film and the video share elements of sadomasochism.)
The overall presentation is surreal and deliberately ambiguous. The retinue of strange characters may be real or simply fantasies from Madonna's imagination. In the end, a rejuvenated Madonna rushes out of the hotel room smiling and laughing. The video then fades to a black screening with a written phrase shown in white on the top left-hand corner, "poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of another," which later fades out.
At the time of its release, the video peaked at #2 on the Billboard's Top Music Videos Chart for two weeks and spent 39 weeks in the chart overall.[4] The music video was released on DVD for the first time on the greatest hits package Celebration: The Video Collection in 2009. This version of the video was censored with black bars in a scene that contains female nudity.

I'm a night person. I'm evil in the morning. It's like step away from the turtle.
I'm definitely not a morning person... I'm dead and sleepy by the day because people make too much noise in my opinion... I'm more comfortable and active at night because it's much more serene and peaceful... I've always loved the dark since I was small... It calms me down and I especially enjoy the cold night air... I hate the sun and I think it's too bright since my eyes cannot tolerate much brightness...
I'm a night person. I'm evil in the morning. It's like step away from the turtle.
I'm a way night person. I usually only stay awake when its dark.
Im a night person but there is a thing called Work that gets me up every morning and makes me answer teh phone for tech calls ~_~ But yeah ^_^ if I get enough sleep then I can be a pretty cheerful person
I switched, in high school I was a morning person, mainly because crew practice would start at 6:00 am, however, when I got college and now that I have classes starting at 9 am, I am a night person, just staying up, sometimes doing work, sometimes playing.
Clan orders: Wear the signature of defeat with pride.
It use to be more obvious that I was a night person, but I think its slowly starting to balance out. I think I'm still a night person but I'm slowly becoming a day person as life is granting me new and different opportunities. Just going with the flow and taking change in stride.
I feed of darkness, it makes me feel a lot better, but I'm a morning person. I need to wake up at 6 am so I can get to the school in time.
Growing up I was a night person. Mostly because I had trouble sleeping and it's just so peaceful when your the only one awake. Sometimes I would take my dog for walk at midnight (suburb) just to listen to the quiet. Or go outside and just sit there looking at the moon.
Then we found out that I had a calcium deficiency and now I can sleep.
So now I try to get up in the early morning. It's a different kind of quiet when the world is just on the verge of waking up. Different, but nice also. Mind you my kids are early risers no matter when they go to bed so it's not like I have much choice.

Young musicians can get a little help pursuing a career thanks to a new award in memory of a promising guitarist.
The Ed Renshaw Music Award has been set up to help young people in south east London reach their potential by giving to musicians or groups up to £1,500, mentoring and support from Peter Conway Management, space to practice and perform at The Albany in Deptford and even a gig.
Former Thomas Tallis School pupil Ed Renshaw was born in Greenwich in 1981 and shined on the guitar from the age of 10.
Sadly he also struggled with depression and ended his life in 2011.
His friends and family held a charity gig at The Albany and will now donate the money raised for the prize.
The winner will get the chance to perform at An Evening for Ed on October 25 at The Albany.
The judging panel is composed of representatives from The Albany, Peter Conway Management and Ed's family and friends and it is looking for entrants who not only have musical talent and performance skills but also original music, savvy business plans and the passion to succeed in the industry.
Applications are open to 16 to 25-year-olds from south east London before September 15. Go to thealbany.org.uk to find the form which should be sent to email@example.com

Much like Moses, Judah Maccabee will get competing movies concerning his Biblical exploits. The first to be announced has generated a ton of controversy, since it's a film about Jews directed by Mel Gibson; Joe Eszterhas is writing, which feels almost as strange to me. Now, THR tells of another project, one produced by Modern Marvels' Bruce Nash that's hitting either theaters or television, the (obviously) latter in a miniseries format.
This even has a script completed, written by Scott Abbott. Maccabbe, as I previously wrote when covering the other film, "teamed with his father and four brothers to lead the Jewish revolt against the Greek-Syrian armies that had conquered Judea in the second century B.C." He even created Hanukkah as a way of celebrating his victory; needless to say, the guy's a big deal. It all sounds like exciting material for some kind of screen adaptation, so you can probably see why things are kicking into gear on this story.
There's already something of an upper hand granted to this production, as no controversy is surrounding it — nor do I imagine there being any from here on out. Still, as much as I hate to say it, the Gibson film will probably be better. Not just because he can direct historical material with skill, but also due to the backing of a major studio like Warner Bros. They'll be able to tell this on a deservedly-grand scale; with all due respect, that's not something I see the producer of Modern Marvels and initial financiers Odyssey Networks delivering. One may not have PR-related intentions, but the other might be a lesser product. Choose what you'd rather see, I suppose.
What are your thoughts on competing Maccabee projects? Does this sound like a worthy telling of the man's journey?

Why play the game when you can script it to play for you, right? :p
I don't think it's going to happen, at least not to the extent you're asking for, due to the risk of botting, and simply the lack of resources by the devs. The GUI changes are few and far between, and even significant bugs/issues with it still haven't been squashed since launch, so I don't see them implementing a user-scriptable UI anytime soon.
