Masterpieces for the Masses; Melodrama Overwhelms Simon Schama's 'Power of Art'
Byline: Deborah K. Dietsch, SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON TIMES
How do you turn the stuffy subject of fine art into a television show with popular appeal? In 1969, British art historian Kenneth Clark succeeded by relating his personal views on painting and sculpture and explaining how the works reflected their times. His BBC series, simply called "Civilisation," still holds up as an erudite yet accessible primer on Western European culture.
Now another Brit has stepped up to introduce Western art to the TV-watching public. Scholar and writer Simon Schama has teamed up with the BBC and New York public television to create an eight-part series called the "Power of Art." Shown in Britain last fall, it debuts on PBS/WETA on Monday at 9 p.m. with back-to-back episodes devoted to van Gogh and Picasso. The remaining six installments, which run through July 30, are devoted to Caravaggio, Bernini, Rembrandt, David, Turner and Rothko.
This snappy, sometimes lurid series is no "Civilisation." It is more like "Masterpiece Theatre" meets "E! True Hollywood Story." Art history is presented as biopic, complete with actors re-enacting the angst of creation. The most famous is Andy Serkis (Gollum in "Lord of the Rings") sporting a red wig as van Gogh. His loony rendition is no more convincing than Kirk Douglas' portrayal in the 1956 movie "Lust for Life." Crazily scribbling or sucking on a tube of yellow paint, Mr. Serkis leaves you laughing instead of sympathizing with the artist's plight.
Why these eight artists? Mr. Schama never comes out with the reasons for his choices. French impressionists are left out entirely, dismissed in the van Gogh episode for "marinating the meat of human existence in the rinse of their luminescence." Whew. Mark Rothko is chosen over the more significant Jackson Pollock, perhaps because Mr. Pollock was already well portrayed in Ed Harris' 2000 film.
Mr. Schama, an art history professor at Columbia University, is entitled to his picks, but when he declares van Gogh's 1890 "Wheat Field With Crows" is "the painting that begins modern art," ignoring pioneering works made decades earlier, you start to wonder about his judgment.
The common thread among the selected artists seems to be a tragic biography worthy of a Lifetime drama. No contented Monet in his garden at Giverny. Each episode follows a narrative arc tracing the rise and fall of the artist. In a florid, Fleet Street style, Mr. Schama relates the suicides of van Gogh and Rothko, the murder committed by Caravaggio, the jealousy of Bernini, the womanizing of Picasso, the downfalls of Rembrandt, Turner and David.
The series reinforces the stereotype of the artist as a misunderstood, often disturbed genius isolated from his epoch. Art is troubled stuff, "the enemy of the routine, the mechanical and the humdrum." Mr. Schama endorses creations that are "rough," "deformed," "carnal," as opposed to decorous, refined and conventionally beautiful. "Eloquence doesn't always come with a pretty face," he says. His art history upholds the macho hero with dirty fingernails, a bad temper and a taste for loose women and booze.
Each episode follows a predictable formula, starting with a provocative question about a masterpiece to be singled out and analyzed. "What can art really do in the face of atrocity?" Mr. Schama asks about Picasso's "Guernica. …

Engaging. Not a word which many Veterans typically use to describe their relationship with the Department of Veterans Affairs. A more common word associated with VA and its interaction with Vets? Adversarial.
It's disappointing, but that's the reality. For too many Veterans (and families), communicating with VA can be such a hassle that it affects the Department's ability to carry out its mission of providing benefits and services to America's former service members. If Veterans and VA are talking past each other—or not talking to each other at all, then two things happen: Vets don't know what they're entitled to or how to get it, and VA doesn't know what needs Veterans have.
At VAntage Point, the official blog of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, that same old way of communicating (or not communicating) goes out the window. Here, VA employees will provide Veterans with a wealth of information. We will talk about things you might not have been aware of and we'll break down and explain processes which might have bewildered you. But it doesn't end there. If you're a student on the GI Bill, a Vietnam Vet, a VA employee, the spouse of a VA patient, or anything else, you'll have the opportunity to contribute. We've opened the comments section of each of our front-page posts and we have a special section for "Guest Posts" where you can submit your own writing for publication.
For us at VA, this is just a start. It's the beginning of a new relationship between the Department and those we serve—where we strive to get the right information to the right Veteran at the right time. And we hope you'll join us in making it happen.

Good to hear the mod is not dead. Hope to see a release soon, this is good stuff here! Best of luck to your one-man crusade to finish the mod!
What would happen if in 1988, Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev was assassinated? CNC Fallout is a total conversion mod for Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars that postulates this very question.
Henford here, just giving a quick update as to the status of CNC Fallout.
Posted by Henford on Nov 3rd, 2010
Hey CNC Fallout fans and followers!
I have had many concerned emails and messages from fans of CNC Fallout - mainly revolving around their concern as to the status of the mod; some even querying as to whether the mod was dead or not. I figured what better time to get this out of the way:
The mod is not dead. The mod will not die.
Now that that is out of the way, I guess the next thing to do is apologise for the lack of updates over the past few months - I have spent the last few months travelling, and needless to say as the only member of the mod team left, all work stopped over this period (I refused to take my laptop away with me!)
Expect an early 2011 release and large updates soon - as you can see from the screenshots, we are very close to completion.
Good to hear the mod is not dead. Hope to see a release soon, this is good stuff here! Best of luck to your one-man crusade to finish the mod!
Good to hear. I had high hopes for this mod, so I'm glad to see some life in it yet.
very good to hear. but does the austrailian faction have an "epic unit" to counter the liberty walker and war fortress?
thank god. im glad to hear it guys, and keep up the good work...cant wait for this mod guys it so exciting!
Good to see some sign of life!
I´m crazily waiting this mod!
Well best of luck to you. Looking forward to it.
WHoew that's great to hear! good luck!

What You Need to Know About Chocolate Diamonds
What is a Chocolate Diamond?
The term "Chocolate Diamond" is simply a marketing phrase coined by the jewelry manufacturer Le Vian. Chocolate diamonds are another type of brown, or cognac colored diamond.
There are natural brown diamonds, and there are those that have been color treated. Natural colored diamonds are always going to be more expensive than those that have been color treated.
Are Chocolate Diamonds less valuable?
Usually, yes. The vast majority of colored diamonds are now color treated (if done the correct way this is a permanent process and there's nothing wrong with it). However, since this is a relatively new product, many consumers are unaware that a large amount of colored diamonds are very low quality.
In order to produce any medium to high quality colored diamond, they must use a nice white diamond to begin with. However, in 90 percent of the colored diamonds they use a poor quality diamond to treat. Why? Simply because it's cheaper, and they can get away with it.
Due to heavy marketing by chain stores, customers tend not to judge a brown or chocolate diamond in the same way they do a white diamond. Chocolate diamonds are often opaque in color, with heavy inclusions and little to no sparkle, yet consumers have begun to expect this because it's everywhere. Unfortunately, what you see in a chain store newspaper ad is rarely what you get out of the case.
Higher Quality Brown Diamonds
In the end, a diamond with eye visible inclusions and a lack of brilliance will not look any better once it's been color treated. A more expensive/valuable white diamond is used to make a vivid golden brown diamond, and a lower quality diamond less than half the price is used to make a grayish brown, less vivid chocolate, or muddy brown diamond.
If you want brown diamonds that have sparkle and a rich golden brown color, or especially if you want a larger single brown diamond as a center stone, you would be better off requesting a cognac color. Compare the differences in quality and decide what looks best to you.
If you like chocolate diamonds, by all means, buy them and enjoy them! When it comes to colored gemstones especially, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. As always, just be conscious of the quality you're paying for.

I have a chocolate diamond, it they are worth less why do people like me get suckered into buying them?
Keep in mind, they are often worth less because the brown is hindering you from seeing inclusions you might have noticed if it were simply a white diamond. It doesn't mean your diamond is worth less than it's white counterpart of similar design and quality.
"Worth less" isn't "worthless." Check the grade of the diamond, you'll know if you were taken by comparing prices. Either way, if you're happy with it, you're not a sucker.
All things being equal, brown diamonds WILL cost less and have less value than their clear counterparts for the simple reason that they are considerably more common. There is an over-surplus, actually. "Chocolate diamonds" is an invented phrase, just like the phrase "smell-good plumber". It's a marketing description not an inherent quality.
Looking for best places to find the higher quality cognac, and be able to tell the difference. From Southeast MICHIGAN. Thank You.

My husband bought me a quality ( 4 c's ) Brown diamond ring! It is beyond Beautiful! Brown diamonds have been overlooked for far too long! I think people need to step outside the traditional box and dare to be different. I love white diamonds, however EVERYONE has them and they all look the same. A high quality brown diamond can be more expensive than a white diamond. The nay sayers can say what they want, I Love brown diamonds and wear them because I like them. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and people should wear what they think is beautiful. Go ahead and wear your Brown Diamonds!!!! They are Beautiful!!!!!
What about chocolate diamond from Le Vian? Do they have a high quality? I just purchased mine from them, a ring with big garnet stone. It's expensive..I love it, but I'm afraid the price is not worth with I paid for.
We had been looking at Joshua's Jewelry and they have cognac diamond jewelry, and my wife and I tried them out, little did we know, that there is no such thing as chocolate diamonds, its all a marketing scam by the company called Le Vian, of course, people really need to realize, if they can afford to advertise it on TV, it is obviously going to be overpriced. We were very impressed by the cognac diamond ring we purchased from Joshua's so we will definitely buy more from them…
One other thing that I'd definitely reoenmcmd taking into consideration is the metal of the ring and the setting. It's really important to get a metal that is durable and will complement the stone you choose. I would suggest platinum because it's the most durable precious metal and its natural whiteness really enhances the beauty of a precious stone.
I like what you guys are up too. Such smart work and reporting! Carry on the excellent works guys Ive incorporated you guys to my blogroll. I think it'll improve the value of my website ckdkfdfgddde
WOW ! Is it not the dumbest question ever to ask "If there worthless why do people get suckered into buying them" Because of exactly that, they r suckers. Especially when you see it 20 times on TV. A one carat fair quality many stone rings (say a cluster of 15) cost 300 – 500 bucks at anyone of the cheap stores and pennys, sears, etc. But with a marketing budget of millions, they will charge 1700.00 for the same ring in "chocolate" People are just plain led so easily. I am just an electrician, but I see this same thing every christmas and all year long for the fact in every business. Think your 401K is making you money ? NO.. .It is making them money… You may see an uptick, or even a small gain, but they steal it right in front of your eyes, hide the fees, and the buying periods.
Go ahead, buy a chocolate ring at Kays, after all, every kiss begins with it…. Then take it to a real jeweler and have them appraise it, a real appraisal. WHAT will they give you for it. 250.00 for a 1500.00 ring.
Of course this site has the 1 post that is to cover all… My husband bought me a 4C blah blah… Yea right, what did that cost 20K. Guess you would love it. The real thing is for the 50K year guy and buying for his wife, that is where they make the money. Suck HER in on TV and then it gets dropped on your lap, don't buy it … Then you must not love her… Wonder when that comemrical comes out…. A women walking away from her man because he didn't ge to Jareds…
I would rather have an emerald engagement ring with accent diamonds than the big white diamond. White diamonds all look the same to the naked eye and no different. I have brown diamonds and they were listed as "chocolate diamonds" before Le Vian Company ever had them listed, 9 years ago I got my first chocolate diamond bracelet, earnings and ring. They weren't expensive and I am fine with the lower quality as I have pretty diamonds and that is my point to having any diamonds. I prefer colored gemstones to the clear, white color. Like Tanzanite, which the dark blue/purple colors are more rare than diamonds since they are only found in Tanzania and the mine is running dry, I have my 3 carat tanzanite stone as my investment and it is a beautiful dark purple and has tripled in it's price since bought in 2008. Diamonds are nice, but not my color.
Thhis article will help thhe internet visitors for creating new weblog
or even a blog from start to end.
My husband purchased a Le Vian brown diamond/white diamond band at Kay's Jewlers. However, the brown diamonds look almost just like the white diamonds. Has anyone else experienced this. The chocolate diamonds being so light. Think it's going back!!!
Yes bought a brown diamond le vian and looks almost white got another and much darker,
I am sorry to inform you that the stones used by le vian are NOT colour treated. The are natural and only the top 2% of the stones mined are used. I know as i have actually been there when seeing one cut! The stoned are certified and come from the same mines that the yelliw diamond are from. Fancy NATURAL coloured diamonds are MORE expensive than white(colourless) diamonds
Just look at the hope diamond for proof.

Looking more and more like CAR has eyes for Cam
Posted by Mike Freeman
It continues to look increasingly like the Carolina Panthers are going to select Cam Newton with the first overall pick in April's draft. But there is a caveat.
Owner Jerry Richardson still isn't completely sold on Newton, a source with knowledge of the Panthers' draft plans told CBSSports.com. Still, Richardson will likely defer to his personnel staff, and many of them have met with Newton, and like him.
The lockout is damaging the entire league but when it comes to rookies it's Newton who could be hurt more than others. Some teams are concerned if the labor impasse continues into the summer or longer, quarterbacks, like Newton, who will need extensive coaching might suffer more than other rookies.
Another player the Panthers continue to be enamored with is former Georgia wide receiver A.J. Green. I find this impossible to believe but people I trust insist the Panthers could trade down and take Green.

Is Fairley a younger version of Haynesworth?
Posted by Josh Katzowitz
Remember when we talked about how Auburn DT Nick Fairley had a pretty decent shot of going to Carolina with the No. 1 pick in this month's draft? Hell, a Panthers beat writer and I spent some time during Super Bowl week discussing the pros and cons of the Panthers making such a move with Fairley.
"You've got to tread lightly with him because, as good as he looks on film, he could be a one-year wonder," an AFC general manager told The Post this week. "It's not like [Ndamukong] Suh, who dominated for a couple of years and you had no doubts whatsoever about."
Instead, Fairley has impressed for only one season in a Tigers uniform (and he WAS extremely impressive, recording 12 sacks during Auburn's national championship campaign), and he was accused of dirty play on more than one occasion. His off-the-field character, much like Haynesworth, also has been questioned.
And remember, he made only 28 tackles and one sack as a sophomore after spending a season in JUCO. So, aside from his monster 2010, there's not much history of consistent top-notch play there.
"Everybody is entitled to their opinion," Fairley said at the NFL combine. "Some people think I play the game the way it should be played."
Hopefully for Fairley, some of those people include NFL team executives.

Colts eyeing Manning successor or just a backup?
Posted by Will Brinson
Curtis Painter isn't the most popular fella in Indianapolis. Sure, if he's in a game it's usually because the Colts are blowing out an opposing team, but occasionally, it's because they're giving up on the dream of a perfect season. Or, worst case, Peyton Manning's hurt.
And it appears that in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Colts will be seeking to find some backup competition for Painter. Or, possibly, a successor for Manning?
Andy Dalton could be that guy, as Mike Chappell of the Indianapolis Star notes, and that would explain why Chris Polian and Jim Caldwell put him through a private workout on Monday.
Or maybe not -- the Colts might simply want to use a early-to-mid-round pick on a quarterback that can be more effective than Painter. After all, Manning isn't exactly young (35), even if he doesn't ever miss football games.
So it's possible that Dalton, a four-year starter at TCU who went 42-7 in college, is someone they've targeted as the poor guy who'll start for Indy right after Manning quarterback of the franchise's future.
And because many teams will be taking quarterbacks early -- Cam Newton, Blaine Gabbert, Jake Locker, Ryan Mallett and Christian Ponder all figure to get drafted before Dalton -- there's a reasonable shot that Indianapolis can get him on the cheap.

Bill GM Nix: Gabbert 'similar athlete' to Newton
Posted by Will Brinson
The Buffalo Bills, because of Chan Gailey's innovative offensive mind, are widely considered a potential landing spot for former Auburn quarterback Cam Newton.
But Blaine Gabbert could land there as well -- depending on what the Panthers and Broncos do, of course; worth noting is that our own Clark Judge has him there ahead of Newton. And, if you need proof, how about the strong praise the former Mizzou signal caller drew from Bills' GM Buddy Nix for his athleticism recently?
"People don't realize, they talk about what a good athlete Cam is, which he is, but [Gabbert] is a very similar athlete." Nix said to WEDG Radio, per Mark Gaughan of the Buffalo News.
Well, now, that's nice and everything, but -- and no offense to Gabbert -- that might be a stretch, Buddy.
"He's 6-4, and he's 234 pounds and he ran 4.61 (40-yard dash)," Nix told WEDG Radio. "He can jump. He's 10 feet, 3 inches long jump. Athletically he's really a big, fast athlete. He's a smart guy. He's a little like Cam in that he hasn't played a lot. — He played three games his senior year in high school. He didn't play any as a freshman except in a mop-up role and then started two years."
Look, Gabbert's a good athlete. No question about it. But no amount of height or weight or speed is going to make him a "similar" athlete to Newton. That's because Newton is the freaky-deakiest of the freaks when it comes to raw athletes that we've seen in sports, in a pretty long time. If he was more polished as a quarterback and/or there weren't some concerns about his off-field behavior/personal life, there wouldn't be a discussion about who was getting drafted at No. 1 overall.
It would be a slam dunk for Newton and no one would think twice. But there are questions and that's how Gabbert's getting involved in the discussion. So, yeah, it's great for him, but let's not carried away when we start discussing the phrase "athleticism."

Warren Moon elaborates on Newton comments
Posted by Andy Benoit
The comments Warren Moon made about Cam Newton to CBSSports.com's Mike Freeman have caused quite a stir. Not surprisingly, Moon has been pressed for follow-ups.
On Friday, the Hall of Fame quarterback appeared on KTAR in Phoenix. He was asked to elaborate on his thoughts of criticism towards Newton.
"I just think it has racial overtones," Moon said, via Pro Football Talk. "I'm not going to say it's totally racial. I just think they just keep piling on. I don't understand why they keep piling on. Because this is a guy that's a very special talent that has done some very special things and they just keep trying to cut up every part of his game. There's no way a guy could be as successful as he's been whatever level that he's been on and have all these different flaws that they're talking about right now.
He went on.
"It really baffles my mind to come out with all these different things that they're talking about. How come they're not talking to his offensive coordinator or they're not talking to his head coach or they're not talking to players on his football team? They're talking to general managers who probably had 15 minutes with him inside of a room at the combine but they're not talking to the people that were with him every day of his career at the University of Auburn to get their sense of what type of person that he is. And those are the people that I've talked to about Cam Newton. I'm not only going off of what I know of Cam as far as the time that I've been around him, I'm going off of what I've talked and asked questions about myself."
Moon acknowledged that Newton made a poor choice in saying he wanted to be an icon. (Newton has since made it clear that his focus is first and foremost on football.) He also said he believes Newton is the best quarterback in the 2011 Draft.

Da'Quan Bowers finally works out
Posted by Andy Benoit
"My first year I didn't have a great year, but I wasn't playing a whole lot," he said. "My sophomore year, I had a pretty decent year. I had pretty decent numbers and injury hampered a couple of my games. This year, I turned it up. I was starting full time. I knew the defense. I had been in the system two years. I felt comfortable. I had one good year and the rest were considered busts."

League gives Lions 7th-round pick back (sort of)
Posted by Andy Benoit
Over a year ago, Lions defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham made this comment: "[Kansas City] keeps wanting to dump their players. I would like to be there to catch a lot of them, because I know a couple of those guys."
The problem? Cunningham's comments were technically a form of tampering. So, the NFL docked the Lions a seventh-round draft choice in 2011 and also forced them to swap fifth-round picks with the Chiefs (moving Kansas City up 14 slots and Detroit down 14 slots).
On Thursday, the league decided that because of the labor situation, a seventh-round draft choice is more valuable than usual this year. So, it altered Detroit's punishment to a sixth-round pick in 2012.
If you're up for reading really far into this, it's interesting that the NFL would take this view about the labor issues and value of late-round draft choices. The reason a seventh-round pick is extra valuable is because if the lockout is still going on after the draft, teams won't be able to sign rookie free agents. In altering the Lions' tampering punishment, the league is essentially indicating that it's a very real possibility the lockout will still be going on after April 30. We already knew that, but the confirmation is still noteworthy.

Von Miller will attend the NFL Draft
Posted by Andy Benoit
There is now no excuse for any invited rookie not to attend the 2011 NFL Draft. After all, Von Miller, the only rookie plaintiff in the players' lawsuit against the owners, will be at Radio City Music Hall.
"I'm honored to get an invitation and I plan on being there," Miller said via ESPN.com. "It's always been a dream of mine, having my name called and being able to walk across the stage and shake the hand of the commissioner."
That's the same commissioner that Miller's soon-to-be union/trade association has been publicly censuring the past few weeks. Miller will be in St. Paul next Thursday to attend the NFL hearing before Judge Susan Nelson in U.S. District Court.
The one DeMaurice Smith called "a brave young Aggie" did not express any concern about whether his presence at April's draft will ruffle the feathers of his future peers.
"It doesn't change my stance with current NFL players," Miller said. "This is just separating the personal from the business. Personally, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fulfill a dream that my mom and dad, myself and my family can enjoy a very emotional day. But I still plan on being there for the players in trying to get this lockout lifted."

I'm still searching for the mother of my grandmother Vita Camilleri Nobile. The mother is unknown on the birth and marriage document. Are there any other ways to search? Maybe she grew up in a convent school ? (Bivona, Sicily) The father is Gioachino Camilleri Nobile, as was discovered on this message board. There is a Maria Nobile that I found, marriage in Santa Ninfa, whose parents are Francesco Nobile and Maddalena Camilleri. Maybe they are the parents of Gioachino? I think I have reached a dead end regarding the name of my great grandmother. If anyone has any more suggestions, I would appreciate it! Thank you!

Don and Phil Everly were a harmonious duo with a country sound, known as the Everly Brothers. Billie Joe Armstrong and Norah Jones decided to perform their own version of "Long Time Gone," and while country may not be Billie Joe's original genre, you'd never know it. Likewise, Norah is just a chameleon. The new version sounds a lot like the authentic one. See for yourself.


text: His full name is: Muhammad b. Ahmad b. Salim b. Sulayman, al-Saffarini by birth, al-Nabulusi al-Hanbali He was born and raised in Saffarin (pronounced Saffaareen), a village in Nabulus, Palestine in the year 1114/1702, where he learned the Quran. He then travelled to Damascus and studied under a few notables, such as 'Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulusi al-Hanafi, Shams al-Din al-Ghazzi al-Shafi'i. He studied Fiqh, Hadeeth and Tafseer under 'Abd al-Qadir al-Taghlibi al-Hanbali and Mustafa al-Labadi al-Hanbali and many others. After having acquired a strong grounding in various sciences, he returned to his village, Saffarin, and after a short stay, left for Nabulus to reside therein. He is described by his students as having a lofty character, an awe-inspiring personality who would frequently busy himself with Allah's remembrance (adhkar) and regularly pray the night prayers (qiyam al-layl), encouraging others to do the same. He was also very courageous when commanding the good and forbidding the evil, in line with the Hanbali tradition, such that he would not fear anyone. Rather, he would be feared and held in awe by the rulers and the commoners alike. He was also known for his ascetic (zuhd) qualities, such that he would hardly hoard anything of the world except books, for he was an enthusiastic book collector, and that is reflected by his writings that are usually crammed full of quotes from various works. He authored many books, wrote poems on various issues. Some of his works include: Sharh (A commentary on) Thulathiyat al-Imam Ahmad. 'Thulathiyat al-Imam Ahmad' refers to those narrations of Imam Ahmad that only have three narrators between himself and the Prophet – SallAllahu 'alaihi wa-sallam. Such chains are the shortest chains of Imam Ahmad, and of course, the shorter the chain, the stronger the Hadeeth. Short chains are also indicative of a person's status in Hadeeth. A short chain is technically referred to as: Isnad 'Aali (i.e. a higher chain) Ghidha al-Albab, his commentary on Mandhumat al-Adab which we are currently studying Kashf al-Litham, his commentary on 'Umdat al-Ahkam, in Fiqh of Hadeeth al-Durra al-Mudhiyya fi 'Aqd al-Firqa al-Mardhiyya, which is the poem in creed we intend to study Lawami' al-Anwar al-Bahiyya, his own commentary on his own aforementioned poem on creed. He died in Shawwal of the year 1188/1774 in Nabulus and was buried the same day.

Looking for a credit card that puts more money in your pocket? Our fifth annual ranking has the answer
What would you do to save a few hundred bucks? We're sure some of you would drive across town for a deal, allowing you to pocket the savings. But there's an easier way—just change credit cards. In fact, picking the card that best matches your spending habits could double your rewards. And since the top cards in each of our credit card categories deliver more than $400 annually in rewards for a consumer charging $2,000 a month, that's a big deal.

We've run the numbers on hundreds of cards to pinpoint the ones that deliver the richest rewards, always taking into account annual fees over a five-year period to ensure the value extends beyond one-time bonuses. And for those of you who carry a balance? Choose wisely and try to pay it off monthly. Otherwise, you'll end up paying for someone else's rewards.
This year, the No. 1 cards include the MBNA Rewards World Elite Mastercard in the cash-back category (offering $428.80 back annually based on spending of $2,000/month) and the WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard in the travel category (offering $621.36 back annually based on spending of $2,000/month).

April 01, 2012 — Several years ago, award-winning Australian photographer Alexia Sinclair set out to create a series of extravagant, meticulously made images of historical queens, sometimes containing hundreds of separately shot elements. The labor of love took three years to complete and involved shooting stately architecture throughout Europe and even creating flamboyant period costumes. It was worth it. The project began a creative career that would span the fine-art and commercial worlds, and gave birth to a unique style that showcased Sinclair's multi-faceted talent.

Characters: The Aristocats
open/close all folders
A wealthy and high-class cat belonging to Madame Adelaide Bonfamille, the wealthy single mother of three little kittens. When she's made to be an inheritor in her owner's will, the family butler kidnaps her and her children and abandons them in the countryside. With the help of a handsome tomcat named Thomas O'Malley, she and her family start to make her way home.
Voiced by: Eva Gabor
- All Girls Want Bad Boys: Duchess points out several times to her children that they are better than alley cats, but seems to have no problem with romancing Thomas. Then again, he was being very charismatic.
- Cat Stereotype: She is a white cat, and therefore elegant and high class.
- Cool Cat: Of the Proper Lady variety.
- Damsel in Distress: When she's locked in the oven with her kittens.
- Dub Name Change: Duchess's name was changed to Hercegnő (Princess) in the Hungarian dub.
- Glamorous Single Mother: Naturally, she doesn't stay single.
- Glurge Addict: Though even Thomas admits his praise of Duchess is incredibly cheesy, she loves it.
- Good Parents: She loves her children dearly and wishes nothing but the best for them. Even when she wakes up in an unfamiliar place, her first instinct is to locate the kittens.
- Horrible Judge of Character: Much like Madame, she doesn't believe Edgar would hurt her and her kittens until he puts them in a bag.
- Official Couple: With Thomas O'Malley.
- Parent with New Paramour: And her kittens don't mind in the least.
- Proper Lady: Graceful, elegant and poised.
- She Is Not My Girlfriend: She performs a variant of this trope concerning her and Thomas' relationship—she vehemently assures the Gobble sisters that she and Thomas aren't married, accidentally offending him by belittling their relationship.
- Uptown Girl: Cat version.
- What Beautiful Eyes: And we even get a close up of them as O'Malley's telling her this.
Thomas O'Malley
A shiftless and tough alley cat who has no ties to anyone. He comes upon the Duchess and her kittens while they're lost in the countryside. He takes it upon himself to help the family get home, coming to care about them more deeply as time goes on.
Voiced by: Phil Harris
- Batman Gambit: His stunt with the milk truck shortly after meeting Duchess and her kittens for the first time. As Duchess points out, he could have been killed. Subverted, however, as he seemed to know what he was doing.
- Boisterous Bruiser: For a cat, Thomas is really tough.
- Butt Monkey: He takes his turn when he encounters the Goose Sisters. They drive Mr. Carefree straight into Deadpan Snarker territory
- The Casanova: A cat version who loves to flirt.
- Cats Are Snarkers: Especially toward the Gobble sisters. Since they were being complete jerks to him, the audience can sympathize.
- The Charmer: All a part of being a casanova.
- Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like: After being saved from drowning by the Gabble sisters. It's not surprising he feels this way, seeing as the sisters mistook his attempts to get out of the water for swimming lessons and almost drowned him themselves trying to "teach" him.
- Cool Cat: Of the street cat variety.
- David Versus Goliath: Taking on a pitchfork-wielding Edgar at the film's climax.
- Distressed Dude: He jumps into a river to save Marie, which quickly backfires because he really can't swim.
- A Dog Named Dog: The classic "tomcat named Thomas" pun.
- The Drifter: Doesn't really want to stay in one place.
- Friend to All Children: Played with. Initially he is slightly put off when he learns Duchess has children, but then he starts bonding with all three and becomes protective of them. And all of Duchess' children genuinely admire him.
- Heroic Build: The Gabble sisters say he has one, but once they find out he's not actually married to Duchess they point out every last one of his physical flaws.
- Hidden Depths: He actually really wanted to settle down.
- "I Am" Song: He introduces himself into the story with one of these.
- I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: His decision to say goodbye to Duchess, because she can't leave Madame.
- Last Name Basis: To everyone except Duchess.
- Let's Get Dangerous: In the climax. He manages to be impressive even in a comedy film.
- Lovable Rogue: A cat version.
- Official Couple: With Duchess.
- Overly Long Name: Abraham de Lacy Giuseppe Casey Thomas O'Malley.Duchess: Your name seems to cover all of Europe.
- Papa Wolf: Soon enough.
- Parent with New Paramour: Duchess with O'Malley. The kittens are all for it.
- Pigeon Holed Voice Actor: In the original version, he was voiced by Phil Harris, who also did Baloo in The Jungle Book. Thomas is more of a sophisticated, suave and adult version of Baloo.
- Redhead In Green: When he is adopted by Adelaide in the end of the movie, he gains a collar in the form of a green bow tie. Bonus points since his last name is Irish.
- Street Smart: Since he's a street cat.
Toulouse, Marie and Berlioz
The Duchess' kittens, a trio of children who, like their mother, are kidnapped and abandoned by Edgar when they're made the inheritors of their owner's will. While generally all well-behaved, they all have the makings of adorable troublemakers, particularly the boys of the three.
Voiced by: Gary Dubin (Toulouse), Liz English (Marie) and Dean Clark (Berlioz)
- All Girls Want Bad Boys: Marie is easily impressed by O'Malley's flirty Casanova attitude. Justified because she's a child and innocently thinks he is so romantic. But then there's this dialogue:Abigail: (about O'Malley) Obviously a philanderer who trifles with unsuspecting women's hearts.Marie: How romantic!
- Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: Marie (white), Berlioz (dark) and Toulouse (orange).
- British Accents: Due to Marie being voiced by a young Louise English (who would later become one of the Hill Angels in the The Benny Hill Show). Marie is given a British/mid-atlantic accent.
- Cassandra Truth: Toulouse, who is the only character who suspects Edgar from the beginning.
- Color-Coded Characters: They each have the same color fur as the adult cats they most take after (Toulouse and O'Malley, Marie and Duchess, Berlioz and Scat Cat.)
- Cute Kitten: All three of them of course. Particularly Marie, who's been seen on quite a bit of merchandise in recent years.
- Damsel in Distress: Marie is put through a fair bit of peril throughout the film.
- Distressed Dude: All three kittens end up in trouble alongside their mother near the end.
- Evil Detecting Kitten: Toulouse towards Edgar.
- Expy: Marie is inspired from the famous child actress, Shirley Temple.
- Fiery Redhead: Toulouse has his moments. O'Malley even nicknames him "Tiger."
- Hair Decorations: The fur at the top of Marie's head is held up by a tiny pink bow that matches her neck ribbon.
- The Kids Are American: None of them have a French accent. Then again, neither does their mother.
- Knew It All Along: Toulouse suspects that Edgar is behind their kidnapping, and is proven right when Edgar traps them and tries to ship them to Timbuktu.
- The Load: They can be seen this way - none of them really do anything useful for the story, aside from Marie occasionally providing a chance for the initially reluctant O'Malley to play the Papa Wolf.
- Pink Means Feminine: Marie is very feminine (at least, she tries hard to be this), and has a small pink bow on her head that matches her neck ribbon.
- Ridiculously Cute Critters: A trio of cute kittens.
- Shipper on Deck: For Duchess and O'Malley, not necessarily because they're a fan of the romance (at least in the case of Toulouse and Berlioz) but because they want O'Malley as a father.
- Spoiled Brat: Marie acts like one sometimes.
- Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Marie, Marie and Marie in Asia. As mentioned in Germans Love David Hasselhoff, you're unlikely to find merchandise of any of the characters except Marie in Asia.
- Averted, at least, in the U.S. during the 1990's. It was Scat Cat who represented the film during a McDonald's toy promotion, while a Special Edition VHS came with a plush of Thomas O'Malley.
- Theme Naming: Toulouse and Berlioz. It's even referenced in their respective hobbies— Toulouse is named after Toulouse Lautrec, and is seen paw-painting, while Berlioz is named after Hector Berlioz, and is shown playing his scales and arpeggios on the piano. As for Marie, she might be named after Marie Antoinette (she is, after all, a little princess), but Marie is a very common French name, so who knows?
A long-serving butler of Madame Adelaide Bonfamille. After hearing that his employer was planning to leave her inheritance to her cats instead of him, he plots to kidnap the cats and leave them out in the countryside. He creates the plot of the film and remains the central antagonist.
Voiced by: Roddy Maude-Roxby
- Anti-Villain: Edgar is one of the few Disney Villains who is not exactly pure evil; while he is greedy, he does not seem to be cruel. It would have been easy for him to just kill Duchess and her kittens, but instead, he chose to kidnap them and release them into the wild-and when that didn't work, he decides to send them to Timbuktu. Moreover, he's shown to have more redeeming features and is never willing to kill anyone.
- Big Bad: Edgar still counts even if he is an Anti-Villain, being the main (and only) antagonist.
- Bond Villain Stupidity: Although it's implied he doesn't have what it takes to actually kill the cats (and even if he did, he wouldn't have tried because he thought that Cats Have Nine Lives).
- The Butler Did It: Although it isn't really much of a secret to the audience.
- Butt Monkey: Napoleon and Lafayette's primary purpose in the film seems to be assaulting him.
- Cut Lex Luthor a Check: He turns to villainy over his own impatience."Each cat will live about 12 years, I can't wait that long."
- Freudian Excuse: Edgar served Madame Bonfamille faithfully and loyally all his life, and she put the cats first to inherit her fortune.
- Gold Digger: A non-romantic example.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Quite literally at one point. It leads to him getting locked in his own chest and mailed to Timbuktu.
- Idiot Ball: For starters, there's the fact that, if the Madame dies, him being the caretaker of the cats would mean he gets her fortune anyway.
- Illegal Guardian: Not originally, but becomes this once Madame Bonfamille's fortune is mentioned.
- Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Easily one of the most pathetic Disney villains.
- Jerkass Has a Point: Some fans don't blame Edgar for trying to get rid of the cats (not killing them) - come on now! You have to wait until some cats die before inheriting a fortune?
- Laughably Evil: Due to his Butt Monkey status.
- Smug Snake: Edgar becomes this when he thinks he's gotten rid of the cats for good.
- Tempting Fate: "You're going to Timbuktu if it's the last thing I do!" Guess who ends up going there instead!
- Stupid Evil: If Edgar just had enough sense to realize that at the very least Duchess has prepared a guaranteed job for him after her death taking care of the cats before he inherits everything, the whole plot would not have happened.
- The Villain Makes the Plot: Without Edgar, absolutely nothing would have happened.
- Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: He does seem like a fairly decent guy near the beginning, despite his bumbling nature. Is it really so hard to feel bad for him when he learns that he'll likely never see a penny of his mistress's fortune because the cats inherit it first? Granted, he becomes a lot less decent as the film goes on, but still.
Madame Adelaide Bonfamille
An old rich woman who, although single, pours all her love into her pet cats. She makes plans to have them be the inheritors of her fortune, unintentionally sparking the resentment of her butler, Edgar.
Voiced by: Hermione Baddeley
- Cool Old Lady: A Cool Old Proper Lady.
- Crazy Cat Lady: She makes her cats inherit all of her fortune, and in the end of the movie she adopts the stray cats of Paris. Both actions question her mental state. Nevertheless, they are shown as good things in the movie.
- Graceful Ladies Like Purple: The purple dress she wears when she meets with George, complete with a pink feather boa.
- Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have: She aged rather well. George certainly finds her attractive.
- Horrible Judge of Character: She never once suspects Edgar.
- Keep in mind that - unlike the audience - she had no idea that Edgar was eavesdropping her conversation with Georges. Also being a Kindhearted Cat Lover, she always believed that Edgar wants the best for both her and her cats and couldn't imagine that he could do something like that. Still she could find a little bit suspicious that her butler doesn't seem to worry about their loss as much as she did.
- Kind Hearted Cat Lover: Which she takes too far, at least if you ask Edgar.
- Meaningful Name: Her surname means "good family" in French.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Arguably. Her putting the cats first in her will is the drive behind Edgar's decision to get rid of them, effectively kicking off the entire plot.
Georges Hautecort
Madame Adelaide Bonfamille's eccentric lawyer, who maintains a young and fun-loving attitude despite his staggeringly old age. He helps his client draw up the will to leave her inheritance to her cats.
Voiced by: Charles Lane
- Bald of Awesome: Bald of Crazy Awesome no less.
- Big Ol' Eyebrows: Has big white eyebrows.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: He takes "you're only as old as you feel" to heart despite being genuinely really old, yet Madame loves that about him and has kept him as her lawyer for decades.
- The Charmer: He and Madame like to play this trope off each other for laughs.
- Cloud Cuckoolander: Due to his old age.
- Cool Old Guy: An old Crazy Awesome yet competent lawyer.
- Hypocritical Humor: "That old birdcage? Poppycock! Elevators are for old people!" - said by a guy who doesn't look a day under 200.
Scat Cat
The leader of a gang of swinging alley cats and a friend of Thomas O'Malley, who meets the Duchess and her kittens while the alley cat is taking them back home.
Voiced by: Scatman Crothers
- Big Fun: Funny, friendly Fat Cat.
- Cats Are Mean: Played straight when he tries to eat Roquefort.
- Chekhov's Gunman: Along with his gang, they turn into Big Damn Heroes by the climax.
- Cool Cat: The swingin' hep cat Scat Cat is just as cool as O'Malley.
- Fat Cat: He's an overweight black cat.
- The Leader: Of the alley cats.
- Nice Hat: A little black bowler.
- Unfortunate Name: It's a reference to scat singing, but still...
Scat Cat's Gang
A group of alley cat musicians who play jazz with Scat Cat. They help rescue Duchess, O'Malley and the kittens at the climax of the film.
Voiced by: Lord Tim Hudson (Hit Cat), Paul Winchell (Shun Gon), Thurl Ravenscroft (Billy Boss) and Vito Scotti (Peppo)
- Adaptation Name Change: If you accept the names given at Wikipedia and The Disney Wiki (which are used here) as official, all the alley cats have different names in the Spin-Off comic O'Malley and the Alley Cats (Hit Cat becomes Cyril, Shun Gon becomes Chino, Billy Boss becomes Boris and Peppo becomes Luigi).
- Anachronism Stew: Hit Cat is a late 60s hippie—in 1910.
- Cats Are Mean: Along with their leader, the alley cats taunt Roquefort while preparing to eat him—until he tells them that O'Malley, Duchess and the kittens are in danger. They immediately rush to the rescue, allowing Roquefort to lead them.
- Chekhov's Gunman: All of them count; they're introduced as O'Malley's friends, only to turn into Big Damn Heroes by the climax.
- Cool Shades: Hit Cat wears them.
- Hot Blooded Sideburns: Peppo has them.
- Multinational Team: Hit Cat is British, Shun Gon is Chinese, Billy Boss is Russian and Peppo is Italian.
- Captain Ethnic: Their personalities are largely defined by the ensuing National Stereotypes.
- Nice Hat: Peppo wears one.
- True Companions: To each other, to Scat Cat, to O'Malley, and eventually to Duchess and the kittens. O'Malley lampshades this: "They're kinda rough around the edges, but if you're ever in a jam, wham! They're right there."
A small mouse that knows the Duchess and her kittens from their time at home; once the kittens go missing he does what he can to find them, before also becoming involved in stopping Edgar from getting rid of the cats completely.
Voiced by: Sterling Holloway
- Black Bead Eyes: He has them.
- Chekhov's Gunman: He more or less saves the day by the film's final act, but wasn't particularly useful before then.
- Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Not introduced like this, but he wears a red deerstalker hat (a la Sherlock Holmes) and coat for most of the film.
- Interspecies Friendship: With Duchess and her family and O'Malley and his gang later on.
- Nice Hat: His red hat.
- Nice Mice: He's good friends with Duchess and the kittens.
- Overshadowed by Awesome: Roquefort risks his life several times to save his friends, and takes quite a beating. He is a tough and brave little amateur detective in the Mouse World (who, in retrospect, appears to anticipate The Great Mouse Detective) in his own right. Still, in a cats' world with a human villain, there's only so much a little mouse can do...
Napoleon and Lafayette
Two redneck dogs that get into antics throughout the film, particularly causing trouble for Edgar.
Voiced by: Pat Buttram (Napoleon) and George Lindsay (Lafayette)
- Catch Phrase: "I'M the leader, I'LL decide _____" is Napoleon's - followed immediately by a Gilligan Cut.
- Dogs Are Dumb: Downplayed with Lafayette who is the dumber of the two but sometimes proves to be smarter than Napoleon, despite Napoleon staunchly insisting that he is the leader of the farm dogs.
- Fat and Skinny: Lafayette is the fat one and Napoleon is the skinny one.
- Large Ham: Lafayette mostly, though both of them have their moments.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Napoleon is the Blue, Lafayette is the Red.
- Straight Man: Napoleon, being the most serious of the two.
- Super Senses: Napoleon, with sound rather than smell, surprisingly.
- That's All, Folks!: At the end of the film. Napoleon is hit in the head by the words: THE END.
- Theme Naming: Named for Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and General Gilbert Lafayette.
- Those Two Dogs: Always appear together and have little impact on the outcome of the plot—they don't even meet the Duchess and her kittens.
Amelia and Abigail Gobble
Two English geese sisters who stumble upon O'Malley in the river and mistakenly assume he's trying to learn to swim.
Voiced by: Carole Shelley (Amelia) and Monica Evans (Abigail)
- Comically Missing the Point/Sarcasm-Blind: When O'Malley calls them "chicks," they insist that they're geese. When he then sarcastically says he thought they were swans, they reply that he's a flatterer.
- Gossipy Hens: They're quick to whisper between themselves over how "scandalous" it is for O'Malley to be traveling with Duchess and not be married to her.
- Nice Hat: Abigail wears a blue bonnet, Amelia wears a pink bonnet.
- Oh Crap!: When they realize O'Malley genuinely can't swim and is about to drown, they stop giggling and dive under to save him.
- Single-Minded Twins: Aside from the color of their hats, they are the same character.

This is how I do it too.
Re blade length I aim for the main blade to be what I consider about the right length and the tail I don't care if it's long or short
I've stopped caring/noticing where my tie's back blade ends, or which way it's facing.
When you start caring less about these things, so do people around you.
I just make sure the knot is right, and then I move onto more important things in life.
"It's not illegal, it's frowned upon. Like masturbating on an airplane"
"I'm pretty sure that's illegal too"
"Pfft, yeah, maybe after 9/11. Where everybody got so sensitive. Thanks a lot, Bin Laden."

2015 Ford Mustang Invades CES 2014January 18th, 2014
50 years of Mustang and Ford has decided to go back to the original drawing board for this upcoming model. Putting the items you expect into the Mustang which upgrading the technology for easy, safe and fun driving.
I talked with Rakesh Patel of Ford Motor Company about the changes to the 2015 Ford Mustang. He walks us through the changes — switches that feel like airplane controls, new look of the dashboard streamlined, everything from the front to the taillights that make you realize a Ford Mustang is coming down the road. Even the "Mating call of the Mustang". Is included.
New engines of Mustang are available with 2015. The 2.3 liter EcoBoost engine brings 305 horsepower and 300 lb foot torque to your driving style. New rear and front suspension is also a new addition to the Mustang.
Ford wants you to know there is a Mustang without it saying Mustang. Your senses will know — from sight to sound.Sponsored in part by these find Sponsors

This was the first helmet I did about a month ago. Its was for a Memphis TN firefighter. Again three red velvet cakes carved to match the contour of a real carnes 1010 helmet I got from my closet. everything is fondant. Its air brushed or I used a food color pen to draw the details on the eagle and shield. Good luck I poured sugar to make the eye protection shields. They call them Burk's.

Net Element Releases Open Letter to Shareholders Newly named CEO, Oleg Firer outlines strategy and executive direction for growth Business Wire MIAMI -- April 18, 2013 Net Element International (NASDAQ: NETE), a technology-driven group specializing in electronic commerce and mobile payment processing, releases the following letter to Shareholders from the Company's CEO, Oleg Firer: Dear Net Element Shareholders, It's a pleasure to write my first letter to you as Net Element's Chief Executive Officer. As CEO, my primary responsibility is to deliver shareholder value and to ensure the ongoing success of our company. Additionally, my charge is to keep shareholders abreast of new developments, challenges and opportunities. These are roles that I am honored and humbled to have. Our management team is constantly reminded of your enduring support, and I wish to personally thank you for your patience, open-mindedness and commitment that has been, and will continue to be, essential to Net Element's success in the months and years ahead. Our goal is to build the leading mobile payments, transaction processing and electronic content monetization company. We believe that the forecasted increase in the use of mobile phones and non-cash forms of payments at the point-of-sale, combined with our sales and marketing approaches will continue to present the company with significant growth opportunities in the U.S., Russia and emerging countries. Additionally, we intend to further develop and continue to grow Net Element's content monetization business. Although we intend to continue to pursue organic growth, we may also expand our customer base or gain access to other target markets by strategic acquisitions of complementary businesses, products or technologies. I am fully aware that the delivery of positive results is the ultimate measuring stick of any company, and I am confident that 2013 is the year we will deliver results. You will see strategic relationships, further commercialization and a more transparent company; you will also see a driven management team with a dedicated pursuit of creating shareholder value. We know that the company's success is not only dependent on internal management and we appreciate the support of our partners, customers and shareholders. With your continued support, we will relentlessly endeavor towards turning innovation into convention, technology into profitability, and vision into reality. Our entire management team will work tirelessly to keep you informed, engaged, and proud to be a Net Element shareholder. Thank you for the opportunity to lead this great company.

We usually stay home..Did go to my sister in law's last year for dessert.
We have lived apart from family for many years so we always just have a small gathering at home. This year my parents and I moved closer together, by life changes really so they'll be coming to my house for T-day :)
DH hunts at his parent's house. So, we spend every Thanksgiving there.
We stay home for Thanksgiving and our family usually comes to our house. We have the most space so it's easier for everybody to relax and visit.

Your plugin website sucks. You do not have a way for people to contact you. You are required by law in the USA to provide contact information when you sell something.
I just got a renew in 7 days notice. I do not want to renew. I deleted the plugin almost 8 months ago because of the huge amount of issues with the plugin and how it interacted with my sites theme and other plugins...and how it slowed down the site.
I do not use Paypal. When I payed for the plugin, I paid as a guest. You send out a no reply email about the renewal. This sucks.
WTF is wrong with you? Don't you think that you need to provide contact information for suppport and access to terms/conditions/privacy notices and billing dispute/non-renewal issues???
Do not renew this plugin on my credit card. OR ELSE!!!!!! Karma Karma Karma Karma
