Your little dude's days are usually spent watching the Disney Channel, making messes, and playing with toys. It's a pretty sweet life, but he doesn't act like an everyday kid all the time. Your little guy lives a double life as a Toronto Maple Leafs fanatic. Watching Perry the Platypus live his top-secret life as Agent P on the hit Disney show "Phineas and Ferb" has let your Leafs die-hard live his life covertly as Toronto's biggest, yet shortest, fan. Living an undercover life is no way to exist, so let the stealthy ways of your young fan not be so hush-hush anymore as he supports his Leafs and his mentor Agent P in this Toronto Maple Leafs Phineas and Ferb tee. It features a print of Agent P sporting a Maple Leafs jersey on the front. His cover as a fanatic might be blown, but he'll still be the most adorable fan in the crowd.

I thought I'd spin this thread off from the general information. Just curious what trail everyone is going to take.
I'll most likely go with Tucks. I actually don't mind seeing crowds on the trail, they're fun to talk to. So long as the group isn't sitting right in the middle of the trail. I'm not all that motivated to make the trek to the other side of the mountain either.
If the weather is exceptional I might take Huntingon's, but still descend via Tucks.

A Symmetrical, Storage Heaven for Sisters
Professional Project
Project by: Robert Gil, Casa Kids
Location: Manhattan
Last year I wrote about two common approaches to shared kids' bedrooms: creating one cohesive space for both kids or creating divided, private spaces within a room. Roberto Gil, founder of Casa Kids, gave the best of both worlds to his clients, sisters in downtown Manhttan, with this creatively designed room.
Here's how Casa Kids describes the project:
Roberto has manipulated the relatively small space to create an environment where the two sisters who share it can enjoy private and common space in equal measure, imparting a powerful sense of autonomy for each sister. They both enjoy a private area for sleep and study, as well as their own nooks and niches, scaled specifically to their smaller frames and shorter vantage points. Providing the sisters with a sense of privacy and belonging, while still allowing them to come together in the central area that's created by the symmetrical staircases that surround it, is the chief accomplishment of this design.
In addition to effectively creating two rooms within a room, the design is a powerhouse in terms of storage. Roberto has built deep drawers into each bed, in addition to the drawers that double as stairs within the identical staircases. The room also features endless shelving and a three-tier closet that stands more than nine feet high. The U-shaped staircases offer increased safety as children climb up and down, as well as make it easy for parents to access their children's beds when it's time for laundry, bedtime stories or cozying up next to sleepy faces.
Roberto has dubbed the design an example of "Children's Architecture" because of the way it mimics large-scale architecture on kid-size terms.
Thanks Roberto!

Wow, this is really awesome. Thanks for this post.
This totally avoids having uncomfortable ladders to walk up in order to get to the bedding area, while totally maximizing storage by using the space vertically. The only thing I'd do is make sure the kids have something to hold onto as they walk down the stairs to prevent injuries.
I want the slightly larger version (full mattresses?) for a guest room/craft studion!! This is amazing!
That is so awesome.
I want this. I agree with the other comments about the issue with ladders.
Amazing. It also reminds me of Charlie's apartment from season 1 of Girls (the one that Marnie was shocked to discover is so amazing after dating him for like, 4 years).
Very interesting design. I would hate, however, to be the one who has to change the sheets on the beds.
STORAGE! I think it's a great use of space and the girls seem to love it.
Way. Totally. Cool. I visited the website and was blown away by marriage of practicality and good design. I've built computer stations for preschool so I see the requirements needed for child safety but also durability and maximum use of materials. Roberto has definitely studied the needs of children and the needs of adults caring for those children. I especially liked the plywood chair with the storage drawer in the seat! His furniture is not cheap, it's downright pricey, but I have no doubt to it's durability or longevity. Very well done!
It's a lovely, imaginative design and I would have loved, loved to have something like this when I was a kid--I had to share my room with a baby sister 10 years younger than me.
But, and it's a big but, making those beds and changing the sheets? Unless that guardrail comes off completely, that's going to be a nightmare.
I love Casa Kids work. I don't even have kids, and I'm on his mailing list.
Totally would love that now in my own apartment! My only concern is that he said he build it for their small frames, but children grow up, right?
Or did I miss that part?
But still hellah cool, neat, mad props!
Nevermind, they're girls not giants. Ignore my previous idiocy.
Wow, so cool! What is the width of this room out of curiosity? About to move into a 2 bedroom with long narrow bedrooms and could see something like this in our future!

Courtney on Oct, 11, 2012:
So when I was a young child I was placed on Depakote, Haldol, Risperdol, and Trazadone. Heavy doses that made me lose memory of a large portion of my life, years I can't remember. I am now 22 and I am curious as to why these medications would be perscribed to a child, and nothing is able to be done about it??
curious mother on Oct, 12, 2012:
why were you given depokate do you have a seizure disorder? keepin mind that this drug needs to be monitored regularly for liver damage
Courtney on Oct, 12, 2012:
That is the thing, I never had seizures, nor was I or am I bipolar.. my psycitrist placed me on these things.
Valg on Oct, 14, 2012:
What was going on in your life before this? Why were you see a psychiatrist? Haldol and Risperdal are very strong anti psychotic medications. Depakote is an anti seizure medication but it is also used to treat aggression. Trazodone is an antidepressant but it also help with insomnia. Did something happen in your childhood that caused you to have a break with reality? You indicated that you have a memory loss from this period. Those medications are usually reserved for someone suffering from severe psychosis. I don't know anything about your family, but someone must know something. Check with your caregiver. You have a right to know why you were put on that much medication. Check with your physician you have a right to your medical records. Also just because someone put you on those medications once does not mean that there is anything wrong with you now. I have a friend that was put on a medication for manic depression as a teen. She was on it for about a year. She has never taken any meds for that disease since. (That was 25 years ago). She did however have a brief period of psychosis and they thought she was manic. Good luck to you. Don't worry too much over it but try and get some answers :)

I know how you feel I have adhd and im sending my mother to an early grave no matter how hard I try I always get angry or yell we dont meen it
Concerned on Oct, 17, 2012:
First time I've done this. However... I have just been prescribed a medication and checked for side-effects, on line. Your postings came up and they really alarmed me, particularly the responses. I think you should get to your GP/Health Practice, asap, and stop mucking about delaying things by seeking answers online (which, frankly, aren't going to sort things out for you). Go and see your doctor/health professional. Don't rely on responses from your posting on the internet. I think you really need to sort this out. Sorry to sound hard, but I have a daughter who does the same thing and, really, as she realises (now), you need to seek help from health professionals, not internet strangers. There you have it! Sorry, as I say, to sound hard. But, get it together and, good luck.
Gary Dunn on Oct, 22, 2012:
I agree with you opinion to seek professional and expert help with medical opinions as being your own doctor can be fatal. Even going the extra step and get multiple opinions from several doctors. Every drug and application is slightly different and unless you are willing to become the expert on its use and your own personal application, which may take years of real research, and quantitative testing, as well as documented historical analyses you are headed for trouble. So stop and rethink your course of action, the internet is not a flash cure or instant answer, as a student, teacher, and very old guy, I can tell you that absolute answers are there but very hard to nail down, get professional help. Another course of action might be contacting your local university and proposing it to one of the professors to assign to a grad student, who has the time and facilities to properly evaluate the problem, and get a professional review, as well as confirming data. If your doctors seem at odds with the answer try contacting the Pharm Manufacturer directly with your specific questions and asking if and letting them know your reactions and specific parameters. Don't try luck, it could get you dead. Gary Dunn, thank you.

Thank you NickJC! I will look into that today!
DrWildcat on Nov, 20, 2012:
The first step is ALWAYS professional advise, but doctors are not always forthcoming with info you need to know about your condition/meds. Some prescribe like candy and don't know or check for interactions, side effects, etc. Where your health is concerned pro-active is the only way to go.
Bree on Dec, 4, 2012:
A bit harsh....if someone wrote this to me I would feel worse....Please think inside our head's. Totally different to knowing someone with depression etc than thinking like some one with it.

Melynda on Nov, 29, 2012:
We adopted our son when he was 6. He is now 10. He was on ALL the medications you listed and he never had a seizure disorder. On the other hand he was misdiagnosed as having an Autistic disorder and he has PDD, low IQ, can be aggressive at times, was born addicted to drugs and has ADHD. He is very impulsive and can have explosive moods if he thinks he is not being treated fairly, but he is also a loving child craving attention, affection and acceptance. I personally think they just considered him crazy and wanted to dope him up to calm him down. He was sleepy all the time. We took him off of the Depakote first and he was still the same, just not as sleepy or as hard to wake in the morning. After taking him off of the medications he was a kid with a low IQ that was hyper, but pretty much the same and he didn't sleep the day away. He has fewer outbursts now without any medication and a couple therapists and a great special needs teacher. He is finally potty trained and learning his ABC's. I think with the medication he would have been so low he would never have learned any new skills or stopped wetting the bed because he couldn't wake up at night. I feel so sorry for him and all the other children who are over-medicated just so their parents can handle them with the least amount of effort.
That's my experience with the medication. One more thing; he bumps his head most of the night while he sleeps on his mattress and he did that less on the medication, but I think a soothing thing like rocking yourself to sleep or bumping your head on your mattress is small compared to liver damage or cancer. The kid suffered a lot before we adopted him and we love him and get him the help he needs instead of pumping him full of drugs that just turn him into a zombie that can't understand what's going on around him.
princess on Dec, 1, 2012:
I know it can get frustrating with so many doctors, so many different medications and hearing everyone being diagnosed with their "miracle pills" . It does suck when you feel like you have been running around in circles for years and you are the ginnie pig. I don't know how it is for you, but for me, I have been blessed with some great doctors who actually listen. I will say it was really hard, insurance changes, doctor swapping, having to pay out of pocket.... But when you find your "miracle pills" you feel a bit better. I still have 6 different doctors, not cheap, some good days some bad. Ive been doing this now for 20 years. I will cross my fingers for everyone.
Jen on Dec, 2, 2012:
I am a 42 yr. old mom of 2 boys. I have a seizure disorder, heart palpatations, and was diagnosed as bipolar at the age of 30. My 16 year old also has been diagnosed with ADHD @ age 5. Now psych. says he is bipolar. I wanted to tell you that we have our struggles. The warning I wanted to share is despite the "magic pills" always research his meds on your own. Example: neuro knew all my meds. Yet, despite a HUGE shift in my thinking (suicidal and aggressive)the neuro refused to see me for a month. RED FLAG and took myself to the E.R..Psych doc said, "Lithium and Propanolol should never be prescribed to a person with my med. history".Needless to say, I have dumped him and the entire plan to insure my mind has a chance to heal. Blessings to you and your dear son.

Hi just been reading this site! Couldn't agree more, as a fourtees female with ADHD i believe in taking a natural approach first ( after all where do phacueticals come from? NATURE also our bodies were not designed to process synthetics!! As ive been battling with DEPRESSION & ANXIETY for many years i found out about TYROSENE & the part it plays in the human brain. Anyway it turns out low levels caused by stress or genetics cause DEPRESSION & Anxiety Suprise^ How ever i think seeing Dr's and researching is allways a good idea as others have stated!.

Hey everyone im here with review, and I finally know this helped my IBS. Im a healthy woman in her mid-40s, just slightly overweight, but not too much. I have been taking fiber supplements for a few months now, but the brand really matters. My nutritionist recommended the Lady Soma brand after trying some supplements that did not work. Specifically, it was the Lady Some Fiber Cleanse which is made just for women.
I can tell you what a difference it has made for me. Not only just going to the bathroom but for general well being. i felt a very constipated before. I would recommend this to anyone looking to try a fiber supplement for the first time. even though you only get 30 days or less with this its still a GREAT price for a fiber supplement.

NickJC on Jan, 5, 2013:
This isn't a debate forum for bloggers It does though merit an URGENT PROMPT for its readers to BE proactive with prescribed meds. Victims of drug fatal side effects, given by inept, or kick back receiving MDs aren"t here to testify. Some MDs rather bury their mistakes, than report to FDA MedWatch fatal drugs they prescribed. So patients are often left helpless. DrWildcat's cited above issue on amiodarone would be true only if MDs knew drug toxicities and diligent in managing them. Amio's cardio QT cycle extending benefit DOES NOT outweigh its risks of fatal pulmonary, hepatic, thyroid, CNS, and ocular damage. No safety margins exist in managing today's ASSEMBLY LINE type med care. Stats show more than 100,000 persons die/yr due to med malpractice. Amio as an iodine-supplement, is very toxic and doesn't metabolize as all other drugs. To be effective all patient's body cells must be loaded with it. As a result one can't get rid of it till cells die and depending on cell type, that takes months to years while toxicity continues to effect bio cell function. Despite this MDs give amio. for arrhythmias other than fatal ventricular i.e., Atrial Fib., etc., that contrary to FDA's prompts to use "as a last resort & ONLY when other meds proved ineffective". When an MD has to handle 20-25 patients/8-hr day there is no time to check & PATIENT BE AWARE of your life at RISK.
Many US Pharm.Co. deserve and DO GET SUPERPROFITS from their products which most often SAVE OUR LIVES. However it's not a secret that many hire 1/2 dozen lobbyists or more for each member of Congress to back their product whether or not the product saves or hurts lives. So It's sad that a country like US spends 10% of its GDP on medical care, lose more of its citizens to bad drugs than all traffic accidents combined, & still have 80% of its citizen's bankrupt due to med care costs.

Nick JC on Jan, 1, 2013:
I am surprised at some reader questions relating to grossly dangerous drugs no fit to be in the market.
They hit the market and stay on because of manuf
connections, GREED and patient desperation for a cure/relief by trusting and looking at an MD as their GOD..
There are more DEATHS due to drugs in the US than
all traffic accidents combined.
Think!!! a well known Manuf produced amiodarone internationally at a cost of $2.5 million.
Return of Mnuf investment $1.5 BILLIONS
Stats will show that this drug is neither effective nor safe. Yet out of desperation THOUSANDS of death occurred due to it.
GOOGLE "the dangers of amiodarone"
and make sure you google all drugs you take....
DrWildcat on Jan, 2, 2013:
If you research amiodorone you will find that it is only used in closely monitored hospital settings to try to reverse fatal ventricular arrythmias. In other words, it is used to try to revive someone who is basically already dead. And it has saved many lives.
You all should keep an open mind and thoroughly do your research. Keep in mind that on a site like this you're primarily going to hear about adverse reactions. People who have greatly benefitted from their medication(s)generally don't go online - they're just happy to be healthy and alive.
Everything you put in your mouth can be potentially harmful; even a peanut can kill the right person. Hence the phrases, "weighing the pros and cons" and "the benefit outweighs the risk".
So, educate yourself to make the right decisions regarding your healthcare and stop ripping the pharmaceutical houses that are producing products that are improving and saving our lives.

Hi courtney, you may have been prescribed this for lack of sleep and depression. serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, serotonin makes you feel happier, its a chemical produced by your brain functions. if you was not sleeping well it would explain the high dose. I too suffer with depression and am a 40yr old male from the u.k so bi polar hasnt been recognised for me although i do go from feeling great to feeling low in minutes. I find being pro active helps. going for a run or a brisk walk. I hope this helps you.

I have RA and it can be very painful. A recent lapse made things very difficult to function. I was given Oxy IR because I can not take NSAIDS. The Oxy IR did absolutely nothing for the pain after about 5 min the pain came back. The doctor finally put me back on a high dose of prednisone for a month. About a week after taking it I felt the pain start to ease up. There are many new drugs for RA that do work and dont make you high. Recreational drugs do not help because you need to put the disease in remission by treating the disease (inflammation of the joints) and not just the symptoms (pain)
melly on Jan, 9, 2013:
I am posting in response to Nick JC and his comments regarding amiodarone (AKA: Cordorone). I don't believe you are a healthcare provider, otherwise you would be more cautious regarding the information you posted. Amiodarone is a very dangerous drug but I, as a cardiac critical care RN, would also include that patients taking this medication should NEVER STOP TAKING AMIODARONE WITHOUT TALKING WITH THEIR DOCTOR FIRST!! You are correct., there are other less toxic medications to treat some arrhythmias. Most physicians are very hesitant to start amiodarone without a very good reason. As for a fib and other non-fatal arrhythmias, some patients rhythms do not respond to other drugs. Left untreated non-lethal arrhythmias often lead to debilitating heart failure or even worse, lethal arrhythmias. Patients should be educated regarding their care, and that includes their medications. Your statements on this site should be prefaced with warnings that patients should consult their cardiologist or other physician prior to stopping Amiodarone or any other medication and if those symptoms become life threatening to call 911!!
NickJC on Jan, 9, 2013:
Melly ! I am happy that you have taken the time to respond to my entry. You are right! Not a medical professional but a physicist by profession aware of the heart's electrical physiology. Victim I may add to MD blind trust when it comes to amiodarone . A victim of permanent thyroid damage, peripheral neuropathy and eye sight issues all of which are the result of incopetent use of this drug. As an RN please google and study the topics below to better serve patients, and prompt all the MDs you serve to use this drug AS A LAST RESORT and to read the many medical journal they failed to or have had no time to read i.e., FDA Alert 05/2005: Information for Heathcare Professionals
"Frequency, characteristics, and risk factors for amiodarone neurotoxicity" "The effects of amiodarone on the thyroid" "Amiodarone induced cardiovascular toxicity", Journal of neuro mascular disease "Amiodarone-Induced Neuromyopathy
etc., etc., and excluding liver damage or death due to lung fibrosis, but more to the point from the New England Journal Of Medicine: "Amiodarone in Patients with Congestive Heart Failure and Asymptomatic Ventricular Arrhythmia",and i quote
"..although amiodarone was effective in suppressing ventricular arrhythmias and improving ventricular function, it did not reduce the incidence of sudden death or prolong survival.."
furthermore from MedLink:
"The most common amiodarone-related neuro toxicities are tremor, ataxia, and peripheral neuropathy; more infrequent neurotoxicities include myopathy, optic neuropathy, basal ganglia dysfunction, encephalopathy, and pseudotumor cerebri"... BE AWARE

I was a healthy 19 year old who started to experience a lot of stress at university. The *very first* things the school psychiatrist gave me were Risperdal for anxiety and Trazadone for sleeping. I had no history of nor presentation of psychosis-- just acute anxiety. When I started gaining a startling amount of weight and spontaneously lactating, I was put through 2 months of expensive tests including several rounds of brain imaging, systemic MRI, and a mammogram. I was told I probably had a tumor somewhere, they just had to find out where. Finally an endocrinologist looked at my chart, said "oh, you're taking Risperdal? That's the cause right there." And it was. (Ironic that a medication prescribed for anxiety caused me so much severe stress!)
So not only did the licensed, state-university-employed psychiatrist use a heavy antipsychotic as the first line of treatment for simple anxiety, but she and ALL the medical professionals who looked at my chart during those awful 2 months failed to see that I was exhibiting known side effects of a medication.
Years later, I am now a licensed psychiatric researcher myself. I work within that "system" and with "big pharma," and I do not condemn either as a whole. But while I would never recommend against seeing a licensed professional for any serious concerns, I also would never discourage anyone from doing their own research. You can read stories like mine all over the internet from people who might have been saved time, money, and considerable distress with a little independent research.

Depekote is prescribed for Bipolar disorder too. I took it with Paxil.
Stephanie on Jan, 28, 2013:
Depakote was used on me for many years to treat mood disorder. it has many uses. The only drawl back to it for me was the weight gain.

Avoid all psychotropes. They are illegal to prescribe to children. Should be illegal for the human race.
Disgusted on Mar, 9, 2013:
Psychiatrists are the scum bottom of any med school class. Opinion and money drive their motives. You didn't need any of that garbage.
NJC on Mar, 21, 2013:
You are taking the words out of my mouth relating to bloggers and their hesitation to check out any drugs they may be taking....Read my NJC Inputs above.
We have been brought up to trust the professionals as our Gods....They are not!
Some of them are Great and humble when it comes to recognizing their limitations....others are Arrogant and dangerous because they don't recognize their ignorance! and or hate to admit it!! So they go on unquestioned till it's too late,,,and even then they try to bury their mistakes......
Such discussion may change the MD's mind!

Moms a TEACHER and a factor in the psych, physical and emotional truama! She blamed it on being PRE-DISPOSED TO A FATHER WHO WAS AN ABUSIVE DRUNK!

I am sorry to hear of your present life's misfortune. There is hope out there.Don't despair!!
As a dad I can tell you dad's care a lot about their daughters, I assure you of that no matter what dad's say or do! Nature wired dad's to care for their girls even more than their own sons......
Many MDs too are humble, well behaved and worth listening to for advise,moral support and even
trustworthy of their prescription medicine for relief.
Please be open minded, talk to a life-educated MD (i.e., older in age and a lot of practice). There is much more out there than we think. The brain and psyche is a nature's mystery to all. Slowly but surely however the secrets are daily being uncovered. Hung in there!!!
Be patient, receptive to competent MD prescribed neurotransmitter relief, hormonal balance, and keep your mind busy reading, movies, blogs,youtube, net, writing, talking to friends etc.,
NickJC on Mar, 31, 2013:
I am very sorry to read of your bad experiences with the law. It is not your fault but rather the fault of the MD that prescribed it to you without making you FULLY AWARE OF ITS SIDE EFFECTS.
Please Google:
Trazodone: Common sleep drug is little-known antidepressant
which is a consumer report on the drug.
This antidepressant is like many other drugs "off label drug". That means that the FDA authorized its use for a specific use other than the MDs take the liberty of prescribing it. Report your experience to the FDA and Contact the Md that prescribed it, holding him accountable for your misfortune....If not the MD will keep doing his thing and make someone else suffer like you...PUT A STOP TO THIS, STAY WELL & DRUGS ALERT
Girl_narcolepsy on Jun, 15, 2013:
BTW I was diagnosed with major depression (and was on my share of ridiculous meds) turns out I had narcolepsy all along!!!
jimmy on Apr, 29, 2013:
Congrats to you, makes a person believe in a God when the so called professionals don't really care and distance themselves or go ahead and prescribe you meds knowing the chance that you may kill yourself saying 'we"ll just keep a close eye on you'!I live 30 to 45min from the doctors that wanted to pump me full of higher doses of cymbalta after I had confessed to them that it made me invision to the exact details of how I was going to kill myself, something of which I hadn't a problem with before! Doctors just wanted to take the easy way for them to say my pain was due to depression of which it's not but had I killed myself it would have been ritten off as just a suicide and the doctors were trying to help (yea right)! They just don't know what to do to help me nor have the ambition to study anything the answers were'nt given to them in college! By the way if you didn't see what I had written earlier, around the same time My friends wife comitted suicide in her car for him to find in the garage, she was being watched closely by a doctor that prescribbed her cymbalta! If I had only knew, maybe I could have saved her since I know the danger!
Girl_narcolepsy on Jun, 15, 2013:
I agree, we are talking about fatal arrhythmia?
antiArrhythmia medications are extremely toxic and if prescribed to someone with a non serious arrhythmia (like mine) COULD lead to a arrhythmia that is very serious.
As for vfib?? and serious matters?? There are other ways and really patients like that need to have an AED because you can go into cardiac arrest and need shock asap.
The information on arrhythmia is constantly changing, and some that were once considered very serious have been studied and do not post a risk unless there is other heart damage.
I'm not disputing these medications have a legitimate purpose, but a patient should be aware of the risks.
As for medications in general, there are some that will pose a risk, and depending on your condition it needs to be weighed very carefully. I have narcolepsy, and take Adderall, it helps me stay awake, but my doctor and I discuss the risks vs benefits.
Pharma... why can't we have them negotiate prices like other countries?

Hello, I'm new here and I've been searching around for any information on this RainMachine product I came across this morning.
Looks like it has just been released, only 1 customer review on amazon and next to nothing on any websites. I've seen it mentioned a few times here. It looks to be priced well at $249 for a wifi capable modern tech controller.
I'm looking into adding a sprinkler system to my new house and wanted to see what was out there in-regards to high-tech controllers.
Has anyone actually tried one or heard from someone who has? There haven't been any official reviews that I can find.

ProvenanceWith Léonce Rosenberg, Galerie de l'Effort Moderne, Paris (stock no. 5121) [1]; Pierre Faure, Paris, after 1927 (probably) and by 1933 [2]; sold to Louise and Walter C. Arensberg, Los Angeles, through Marcel Duchamp as agent, 1938 [3]; gift to PMA, 1950. 1. Bulletin de l'Effort Moderne, no. 35, May 1927, illus. For the stock number, see Douglas Cooper, Juan Gris, Paris, 1977, vol. 1, p. 334, no. 226. 2. Zürich, Kunsthaus, "Juan Gris," 1933, no. 71, lent by Pierre Faure, Paris; Faure's name is also inscribed on the back of the painting. This painting may have appeared in Beaux-Arts, Paris, Les créateurs du cubisme, 1935, catalog by Raymond Cogniat, as no. 45 "L'échiquier, 1917" or no. 46, "Jeu de dames, 1917", both "Collection de M. Pierre Faure" (the painting was also known as "Compotier et Damier"). According to Douglas Cooper, Faure formed his large collection of 26 paintings by Gris between 1915 and 1927, buying from Léonce Rosenberg. Some 21 oil paintings owned by Faure appeared in the 1933 Zürich exhibition (all pre-1920). Cooper notes that the entire collection was acquired by Kahnweiler's Galerie Simon in Paris in 1933 (Cooper and Tinterow, The Essential Cubism, 1983, pp. 25, 31), although the listing of Faure as an owner in the 1935 "Créateurs du cubisme" catalog indicates that he kept at least some of the paintings. In addition, none of the Arensberg Gris paintings, all from the Faure collection, have Galerie Simon labels. This suggests that Duchamp acquired them directly from Faure (see note 3). 3. Provenance notes made for the Arensbergs by Marcel Duchamp, dated Sept. 8, 1951 (PMA, Arensberg Archives), simply state that this and the other four paintings by Gris in the Arensberg collection were acquired as a group from a "private collection". However, the back of the photo of "Chessboard" provided by Duchamp to the Arensbergs has the notation "Collection Faure" (originals in PMA, Arensberg Archives).
* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons. Although gallery locations on the website are updated regularly, there is no guarantee that this object will be on display on the day of your visit.
