Painting Title:
Lady with an Ermine (Cecilia Gallarani), 1496
Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519)
Czartoryski Museum Krakow Poland
Original Size:53.4 x 39.3 cm
Lady with an Ermine is a painting by Leonardo da Vinci, around 1489-1490. Its subject is identified with reasonable security as Cecilia Gallerani, the mistress of Lodovico Sforza, "Ludovico il Moro", Duke of Milan. The painting is one of only four female portraits Leonardo painted (the other three being the Mona Lisa, the portrait of Ginevra de' Benci and La Belle Ferroniere). Despite sustaining much damage - the surface is much rubbed, the background was lightly overpainted with unmodulated black, the upper left corner has been broken and repaired, a transparent veil on the model's head was turned into an extravagant hairdo and several fingers were grossly retouched it is nonetheless in better condition than many of Leonardo's other paintings.
Leonardo met Cecilia Gallerani in Milan in 1484 while both were living in Castello Sforzesco, the fortress-palace of Duke Lodovico Sforza. She was the Duke's mistress; young and beautiful (she was only 17 years old), Cecilia played music and wrote poetry. Several interpretations of the significance of the ermine in her portrait are possible. Pet ermines were associated with the aristocracy and ermines were emblems of purity that would face death rather than soil their pristine coats and a personal device of Ludovico il Moro, who had been invested with the Order of the Ermine in 1488, so its association with Cecilia could have been multiply intended. Alternatively, it could be a pun on her name (the Greek for ermine is galay). Strictly speaking, the animal in the painting appears to be not an ermine but a white ferret, a type favoured in the Middle Ages because of the ease of seeing the white animal in thick undergrowth.
The sitter's hair is confined tightly to her head under a very fine net veil with a woven border of gold-wound threads.
As in many of Leonardo's portraits, the composition comprises a pyramidic spiral and the sitter is caught in the motion of turning to her left, reflecting Leonardo's life-long preoccupation with the dynamics of movement. The three-quarter profile portrait was one of his many innovations. Il Moro's court poet, Bernardo Bellincioni, was the first to propose that Cecilia is poised as if listening to an unseen speaker.
This work in particular shows da Vinci's expertise in painting the human form. The outstretched hand of Cecilia was painted with great detail. Da Vinci paints every contour of each fingernail, each wrinkle around her knuckles, and even the flexing of the tendon in her bent finger. Da Vinci had practiced drawing portraits of humans with animals in his journals many times in order to perfect his portraits.
The painting was acquired in Italy by Adam Jerzy Czartoryski, the son of Izabela Czartoryska and Adam Kazimierz Czartoryski in 1798 and incorporated into the Czartoryskis' family collections at Pulawy in 1800. The inscription on the top-left hand corner of the painting, LA BELE FERIONIERE. LEONARD D'AWINCI., was probably added by a restorer shortly after its arrival in Poland and before the background was overpainted. Czartoryski was clearly aware that it was a Leonardo, though the painting had not ever been discussed in print; unfortunately, there is no record of any previous owner. The Belle Ferroniere is the Leonardo portrait in the Louvre, whose sitter bears such a close resemblance that the Czartoryskis considered this sitter to be the same. The painting travelled extensively in the nineteenth century; Princess Czartoryski rescued it in advance of the invading Russian army in 1830, hidden, then sent to Dresden and on to the Czartoryski place of exile in Paris, the Hotel Lambert, returning it to Krakow in 1882. In 1939, almost immediately after the German occupation of Poland, it was seized by the Nazis and sent to the Kaiser Friedrich Museum in Berlin. In 1940 Hans Frank, the Governor General of Poland, requested that it be returned to Krakow, where it hung in his suite of offices. At the end of the Second World War it was discovered by Allied troops in Frank's country home in Bavaria. It has since returned to Poland and is once more on display at the Czartoryski Museum in Krakow.
X-ray and microscopic analysis have revealed the charcoal-pounced outline of the pricked preparatory drawing on the prepared undersurface, a technique Leonardo learned in the studio of Verrocchio. Leonardo's fingerprints on the still-tacky surface show that he used his fingers to soften and further blend his delicate brushstrokes.
Leonardo's painting is the inspiration for the parody Woman Holding Ferret by Leonard of Quirm in the Discworld series of books. The painting is also depicted on the cover of Enigma 2005 box set, 15 Years After. The Polish-made movie Vinci from 2004 revolves around a theft of the painting. The painting was also one of the inspirations for Philip Pullman's device of a "daemon" in the trilogy His Dark Materials. Mike Resnick used the painting as the basis of his biography of Leonardo da Vinci, Lady with an Alien.

Back in April this year it was bandied around that the comic book, Chew, was in development by SHOWTIME, which is frankly a great fit for such a bizarre and idiosyncratic funny book.
The award winning series follows FDA agent Tony Chu as he investigates bizarre, food-related crimes by means of the psychic visions he receives after consuming any kind of food – including human flesh. Known as a cibopath, Chu and his partner Mason Savoy navigate a world where chicken, and all other bird-related meats are considered contraband, after a devastating bird-flu epidemic kills 23 million Americans.
The first edition was one of the funnier and most inventive comics I read this year and the series holds this quality level up. The intention of SHOWTIME turning this into a
-like 30 minute dramedy seem perfect and I hope this will make it onto the air.
Given Temis is not a fan of procedurals as a rule, I found the "spin" on the genre in this book to make the entire thing fresh, funny and brilliantly wacky, and might give her pause

They warn authorities to gird themselves for the possibility that many more men could surface.
As we gird our national loins for the mid-term elections in November, here is a brisk primer on the movement.
Old English gyrdan "put a belt or girdle around; encircle, surround; invest with attributes," from Proto-Germanic *gurthjanan (cf. Old Norse gyrða, Old Saxon gurdian, Old Frisian gerda, Dutch gorden, Old High German gurtan, German gürten). Related to Old English geard "hedge, enclosure" (see yard (n.1)). Related: Girded; girding.
Throughout its whole history the English word is chiefly employed in rhetorical language, in many instances with more or less direct allusion to biblical passages. [OED]

The NFL is doing a fantastic job whoring their first ever NFL game not played in the United States. That's great except that the NFL is an American game where 99.95% of all their fans reside.
I don't get why major sports leagues are so obssessed with getting their respective leagues internationally. People around the world would rather watch Soccer, Crickett, or Rugby instead of watching Football or Baseball. Let's stop the international crush and pay attention to who really matters your fans right here in America. I could care less about a game in Mexico and the fact that the NFL decided all the teams would a green sticker to honor this. Big deal!
If you want exposure do the developmental leagues. You have NFL Europe if he latin/hispanic crowd is so important create a developmental lead for Mexico, Central America, and the Carribbean.

Well, I'm sure a rep from the NFL would say that playing a game there will determine just how much success a developmental league could have. I know American football's popularity is growing in Japan and probably Germany (due to NFL Europe having 5 teams in that country). How fast it's growing is probably a small figure though.
If we're on the subject of international sports, though, one sport I've recently discovered is halfway entertaining is Aussie rules football. I don't share the common American's bored reluctance to watch soccer, although it's not one of those things that I find that interesting. I like watching Freddy Adu play because his speed on the field reminds me of watching Vick play football, and I'll watch the US somewhat in international competitions, but otherwise, I don't care too much. But back to Aussie rules football, it has the flavor of soccer, but the toughness of our football.
Watching some of those guys punt the ball, you begin to wonder why Darren Bennett and Ben Graham (current Jets punter) are the only guys that NFL teams have brought over. If you haven't seen Aussie rules yet, I believe Fox Sports Net has a highlights show that it runs on Friday afternoons. I like it.

Well, there are X million people in Mexico. The NFL thinks that by marketing its product to those people, those people will then in turn spend money on said product. Thus the NFL will have more money when all is said and done. I'm sure they dream of a day when, hundreds of years in the future, the North American, European, Asian and African championship football teams will face off to determine football's true world champions.
I do agree, though, that those green stickers on the helmets were pointless, tacky and annoying.

I just got back from day one of racing...What a day
First, I wanted to finish my practice ride drama from yesterday......After throwing my bike over that downhill, I was able to bump start it in second and the CR250F ran fine.....until it didn't.......I remember just passing the start when I noticed I had no front brake...At all. So I had to finish a complete (7min) lap at Glen Helen GP with no front brake
I don't know how I kept it on 2 wheels on some of those downhill cliffs without a front brake but somehow I did!
I pulled into the pit and to Tiny's surprise, my front caliper had come loose!
and was hanging! How that thing didn't swing into the front spokes and send me over the bars is amazing in itself...Despite, it's best efforts to kill me (twice) I managed to walk away from the 250 unscathed.
John was speechless and told me the part for the 450 was just delivered so I would have the 250 Chris was using and...This was getting confusing. Everybody gave me kudos for bringing the bike back in one piece and after hanging around for awhile we went back to the hotel exhausted.

Euro 2012: Netherlands and Germany renew great rivalry
Euro 2012 Group B: Germany v Netherlands
- Venue: Metalist Stadium, Kharkiv
- Date: Wednesday, 13 June
- Kick-off: 19:45 BST
Coverage: Live coverage on BBC1 & BBC1 HD, live commentary on BBC Radio 5 live, live text commentary on BBC Sport website
The rivalry between Netherlands and Germany was perhaps summed up best by Rinus Michels, the great Dutch manager, when he said "football is war".
At times over the past four decades, the line between metaphor and reality has become blurred when these teams have met.
Franz Beckenbauer
"Matches against Holland have cost me years of my life. But I wouldn't have missed them for anything"
There have been volatile flare-ups, outrageous moments of brilliance and historic matches. Old wounds have begun to heal but the scars remain.
On Wednesday, the teams meet again in their second matches of Group B at Euro 2012. This was always destined to be more than a game, even before the Dutch lost to Denmark in their opening match on Saturday.
If this titanic encounter needed added significance, it has got it now. Defeat by Germany on Wednesday would almost certainly see Netherlands knocked out of a tournament many predicated they would win.
"Germany versus Netherlands will always be a special game," Dutch coach Bert van Marwijk said. "But now we just have to beat them. It's not going to be easy."
Former Germany captain Franz Beckenbauer was a central figure when the rivalry erupted in the 1970s. He describes the games as "football in its purest form".
The anatomy of a rivalry
- 7 July 1974: West Germany 2-1 Netherlands The Dutch started as favourites and went ahead from the penalty spot before the Germans had even touched the ball. But goals from Paul Breitner and Gerd Muller saw Germany lift the World Cup
- 18 June 18 1978: West Germany 2-2 Netherlands This World Cup group match ended all square with the Dutch scoring a late equaliser through Rene van de Kerkhof
- 14 June 1980: West Germany 3-2 Netherlands A hat-trick by Klaus Allofs gave the Germans victory on their way to winning the European Championship
- 21 June 1988: West Germany 1-2 Netherlands The Dutch won this European Championship semi-final with a last-minute goal from Marco van Basten. They won the trophy by beating the Soviet Union in the final
- 26 June 1990: West Germany 2-1 Netherlands Only two years after the heated encounter in Hamburg, the rivals met again. Jurgen Klinsmann and Andreas Brehme gave Germany a two-goal lead in the second half. Koeman scored a late consolation
- 18 June 1992: Germany 1-3 Netherlands
- 15 June 2004: Germany 1-1 Netherlands
"Matches against Holland have cost me years of my life," he said. "But I wouldn't have missed them for anything. Those matches always breathed football of class, emotion and unprecedented tension."
Germany have never regarded the fixture with the same intensity as the Dutch. As with many other 'big versus small country' feuds, the enmity is felt more by the smaller nation.
"Why do we feel differently to the Dutch? It's like England v Scotland, with us as England," was how Germany players and manager Berti Vogts put it.
Patrick Kluivert grew up watching the rivalry develop. While the former Ajax and Barcelona striker admits tensions have cooled, he told BBC Sport the significance of the match remains.
"It is about history," he said. "On the field we have respect for each other now - that wasn't always the case.
"The rivalry will last forever and to a certain point that is good. But the most important thing on the field is that the players play a good, fair game with respect for each other. It is now about the football."
The depth of feeling in the Netherlands remains. The Dutch still have 18 permanent museum exhibitions outlining the details of their football history with Germany.
Former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy says the rivalry is about more than that. Netherlands declared itself neutral in the war - but Germany invaded in May 1940.
Van Nistelrooy said: "It's hard to take the emotion out of this game but whichever side does this best has a big chance.
"Obviously, history plays a part, football history and history itself. That's why the fixture is so loaded. It's about 60 years now [since the second world war] and that's it. You don't have to make it bigger than it is. The emotions are high but this is about winning a game."
The rivalry as we know it began in 1974, when the great Dutch team of Johan Cruyff and Neeskens - managed by Michels - lost the World Cup final to West Germany. It was the first time the two nations had met competitively since the German occupation of the Netherlands. Emotions ran high.
Wim van Hanegem, whose father and two brothers had died in the war, refused to attend the post-match banquet, saying: "I don't like Germany, I hate them. They murdered my family, my father, my sister, two of my brothers."
Vogts, the former Scotland manager, had marked Cruyff out of the game and remembers the angst at the final whistle: "He wouldn't shake my hand afterwards, but three years later we met at a sponsors' event and he said 'congratulations. I'm sorry. We had the better players but we lost'."
As a nation, the Dutch felt cheated. Their golden generation, a team of outrageously gifted footballers preaching the gospel of total football, succumbed to an altogether more pragmatic foe.
They met again four years later. Germany's Karl-Heinz Rummenigge remembers the group game at the 1978 World Cup. "The pressure was tremendous. The press was blowing up the old rivalry. It was a pity the Dutch regarded football as an outlet for their hatred from the Second World War," Rummenigge said.
The game ended in a 2-2 draw and the Dutch went to reach the final - only to lose to Argentina. Germany won again in Naples on the way to their second European Championship crown.
It was not until 1988 that the rivalry erupted once more. On a balmy June evening in Hamburg, Ruud Gullit, Frank Rijkaard and Marco van Basten produced a display of peerless brilliance to reach the European Championship final with a 2-1 victory over Germany. They would go on to lift the trophy four days later.
Did you know?
- No match between Germany and Netherlands has ended in a 0-0 draw
- Germany have scored the first goal of the match in five of the seven competitive meetings
- Netherlands have scored the last goal of the match on six occasions
- No game between the sides has ever been played in Netherlands
Nine million people, some 60% of the Dutch population, spilled onto the streets to celebrate - the largest public gathering since the Liberation. "In 1940 they came! In 1988 we came," they sang.
In Amsterdam, people threw bicycles into the air and shouted "we've got our bikes back". The Germans had confiscated all Dutch bicycles during their occupation in the Second World War. "Revenge" was Michels's reaction.
Guillt still remembers how it felt. "We gave joy to the older generation, I saw their emotion, I saw their tears."
The teams have met three times since that day, most notably during a fiery encounter at the 1990 World Cup when Frank Rijkaard and Rudi Voller were sent off when the Dutchman spat in his German opponents' hair.
The feelings no longer run as high but Wesley Sneijder is in no doubt about the importance of the occasion.
"It's the game. The biggest Holland can play. I grew up watching these games on television and they're always something different. I've dreamt of playing and scoring the winner against the Germans."
The days of hatred and ill-feeling have been replaced by mutual respect and an air of friendship, but if the fires have cooled, the aura remains.

Common Questions/Answers for Poweramp v2.x:
Q. My songs are missing from folders/library.
A. Please ensure you have all your folders with music actually checked in Poweramp Settings => Folders and Library => Music Folders.
Your original Android Library is not changed, nor any files deleted.
Poweramp library is a separate, completely independent library. When you installed Poweramp 2.0, it just got filled with the files scanned from your sd card/other flash memory, as specified in Music Folders.
Q. Volume too low. Volume changes weirdly. Other volume issues.
A. Try to disable Direct Volume Control in Poweramp Settings => Audio => Advanced Tweaks.
Poweramp 2.x uses Direct Volume Control by default on 2.3+ mid-to-high end devices. On stock ROMs this produces much better audio output. But many custom/buggy ROMs, while supporting DVC, can fail with it.

Brazilian Raw Sugar Premium Seen Sliding on Weak Global Demand
Aug. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Buyers of raw sugar from Brazil, the world's largest producer, are paying a smaller premium for the sweetener as demand remains slow and harvesting in the main growing region accelerated, according to Swiss Sugar Brokers.
Raw sugar for loading in August at ports in the center south, the country's main growing region, was offered for sale at a premium of 0.1 cent a pound to the price of the October contract on ICE Futures U.S. in New York, against no buyers, the Rolle, Switzerland-based broker said in a report e-mailed today. That compares with 0.1 cent to 0.15 cent on Aug. 5.
"Destination demand is almost put under sedation," Naim Beydoun, a broker at the company, wrote in the report. "Nearby sellers are just increasing by the day."
For loading in September, the raw sweetener is at the same price as on the exchange, with buyers looking to get a discount of 0.15 cent a pound, the report showed. On Aug. 5, cargoes for the same month were offered at a premium of 0.5 cent a pound, with buyers willing to get a discount of 0.1 cent a pound, the broker said in a report that day.
The amount of sugar waiting to be loaded at the main ports in Brazil, the world's largest producer, fell 11 percent to 2.5 million tons in the week ended Aug. 8, according to data from shipping agency Williams Servicos Maritimos Ltda.
Sugar cane processing in Brazil's center south rose 11 percent to 46.3 million tons in the second half of July, the second gain in a 15-day period this year, data from industry group Unica showed.
Raw sugar for October delivery slid 1.2 percent to 20.50 cents a pound by 1:35 p.m. in New York.

In the (figurative) shadow of the Forbidden City stands the last significant women's tournament of 2012 before the year-end championships in Istanbul. Elevated from a modest status to a Premier Mandatory event three years ago, Beijing has found a fittingly prestigious home in the tennis facility built for the 2008 Olympics. We preview the action scheduled to unfold on the pompously named National Tennis Stadium and the picturesquely named Moon Court and Lotus Court.
First quarter: From the uncertainty surrounding Azarenka's physical condition may spring an opportunity for the players in her section, especially a former #1 from Serbia. A quarterfinalist at Beijing in each of the last two years, losing to the eventual champions both times, Ivanovic prefers this medium-speed hard court to the fast surface in Tokyo and started the tournament in emphatic fashion with a victory over Christina McHale. Although the left-handedness of Varvara Lepchenko will pose a distinctive challenge, the Serb should master McHale's compatriot if she can maintain the same serving efficiency and alert focus that she showed in her opener—admittedly far from a guarantee. Forestalling us from selecting her as a surprise quarterfinalist, the sixth-seeded Errani retired in her first match, so the draw lies open for a meeting of current and former #1s in a quarterfinal. While Ivanovic ambushed Azarenka on a hard court in Cincinnati two years ago, the top-ranked woman defeated her convincingly on the blue clay of Madrid and overwhelmingly on the grass of Wimbledon this year, restoring the balance of power in that rivalry. Before that stage, the most notable obstacle to the favorite's route might arise in the form of Lisicki's mighty serve, always most dangerous when least expected. Outside grass, the three-time Wimbledon quarterfinalist has won only ten matches this year, but both of her previous meetings with Azarenka reached 5-5 in the final set.
Semifinalist: Azarenka (if healthy; otherwise, Ivanovic)
Second quarter: A week after a meek loss in Tokyo, Kvitova started her second Asian tournament more brightly with an uneventful victory over Hantuchova. Next awaiting the Istanbul champion is Suarez Navarro, in theory no match at all for her firepower but in reality an opponent who extended their previous encounter at the Australian Open to a third set. In a preview of the Fed Cup final, Kvitova could test her weapons against Jankovic if the latter can navigate past last year's finalist Petkovic, here the Serb's doubles partner. Likely to prevail over Jankovic in ordinary circumstances, the German has struggled to find her rhythm during a year blighted by injuries from start to finish. Falling to Kvitova in a three-setter at the year-end championships last fall, Stosur has revealed impressive form at consecutive tournaments of significance for the first time since winning the US Open. A quarterfinalist in New York and a semifinalist in Tokyo, she will hope that her momentum outweighs an apparent abdominal injury when she trades explosive serve-forehand combinations with Kvitova. Lurking in this section as well is another US Open quarterfinalist, Bartoli, who has struggled with epidemics of double faults throughout the second half without allowing those woes to infect the rest of her game. And perhaps another German, Julia Goerges, will find the Asian fall an appropriate occasion to stir. She has defeated Stosur during this phase of the season before and nearly stunned Kvitova in Fed Cup this year.
Semifinalist: Kvitova
Third quarter: Assigned an ominous draw, Li Na either brings her best or worst to tournaments in her home nation. The Chinese superstar recorded multiple upsets en route to the bronze-medal match at the Beijing Olympics, but the elevated expectations upon her last year resulted in an embarrassing first-round loss here to Niculescu. Situated near several other veterans, Li would need to solve first Schiavone and then Tokyo champion Petrova, who seeks to become the third straight woman to complete an Asian double. Much older than Wozniacki and Radwanska in 2010 and 2011, the Russian likely will experience fatigue from three three-setters last week while struggling to find motivation so soon after earning her most notable title to date. Formidable in a different sense is the ensuing challenge that might follow for Li in the form of Peng, who has shown a knack for unlocking flustered tennis from her compatriot, perhaps because of their shared origins. But the route might grow more comfortable afterwards, for Li dominated defending champion Radwanska on North American hard courts twice this summer. On the other hand, she fell to potential quarterfinal opponent Laura Robson at the US Open, so the surging teenager could unleash a domino effect if she can solve the third-seeded Pole, hardly an easy task for an opponent who never has faced her. Radwanska has honed a game designed to punish the impetuous and reckless, which should equip her ideally against Robson and should cause Li more difficulty than she has lately. Although Petrova hit through her in Tokyo, the court here should reward a woman who already has reached two Beijing finals in the last three years.
Semifinalist: Radwanska
Fourth quarter: Bookending a reasonably sturdy performance against Safarova were two uneven efforts by Sharapova in Tokyo, one of which she survived against inferior competition (Watson) and one of which she could not survive against elite competition (Stosur). A few notches less than her usual steely self, the career Silver Slam winner may lack the emotional reserves to propel herself through yet another draw in a year saturated with so many hard-fought battles and hard-won laurels. No formidable foe bars Sharapova's path through the first two rounds, however, even if she plays at a fraction of her talents, and she already has defeated possible third-round opponent Makarova twice this year. The red-headed lefty shone in an upset over Kirilenko, so one would fancy her chances in another internecine Russian duel against the abjectly slumping Pavlyuchenkova. When Makarova finds the timing on her serve and the range on her groundstrokes, she can unleash the first strikes necessary to record an upset over an unwary or jaded opponent, as Serena learned to her chagrin in Melbourne. Across the quarter lies a contrast to the projected all-Russian fireworks display, in a possible clash of counterpunchers between Kerber and Wozniacki. The German snatched the Dane's home tournament in Copenhagen from her this spring, continuing a title drought that extended from August 2011 to a week ago in Seoul. Finally registering her first top-10 victory of 2012 in Tokyo, Wozniacki appears to have rediscovered a level of confidence on which she can build for 2013.
