Pigeon Plush

Image
A pigeon stuffed animal exists. It showed up as an Amazon "gold box" deal of the day. Top Customer Reviews 5.0 out of 5 stars The 10" Hansa Pigeon brings joy to all that interact with it. By  Conor Hastings   on May 13, 2015 Verified Purchase This pigeon is honestly amazing. I don't think myself/the others in my office have ever experienced as much joy previously as we all do now everyday when we interact with Thomas. Whether it's the excited look he gives you when you arrive in the morning, the quizzical turn when you say something a bird just wouldn't quite understand, or when you just need a shoulder to cry on(or the bird equivalent of a shoulder), Thomas is always there for everyone. I just wish he could fly, he deserves it. 1 Comment     9 people found this helpful. 5.0 out of 5 stars Real enough for me. By Kevin McCloskey on March 26, 2016 Verified Purchase I like this bird. It has enough details to be of use explain...

Book by David Marnet (father of Zosia/Shoshana Shapiro)

Image
It's called The Wicked Son: Anti-Semitism, Self-hatred, and the Jews . Mamet addresses the book "To the Jews…whose favorite Jew is Anne Frank…who bow the head reverently at a baptism and have never attended a bris – to you, who find your religion and race repulsive, your ignorance of your history a satisfaction, here is a book from your brother." Mamet confronts his readers: "The world hates Jews. ... The world hates you." Mamet goes on to analyze what happens when Jews abandon loyalty to their religion and tradition in order, as he sees it, to find acceptance in Israel-bashing liberal society. "It is the sin of the spies, a ‘coward generation’ with a ‘lack of belief in God.’ People have a drive to worship something, and will fill the void left by rejecting God by worshipping sports, celebrities, ‘wealth, fame, status, sex, physical fitness, good works, human perfectibility.” In the lavish bar mitzvah, Mamet sees the sin of the golden calf: ...

MARCO CANORA

http://newyork.grubstreet.com/2011/09/changing_tastes_dining_in_the.html See especially the following paragraph about restaurants in Tribeca: "The neighborhood's latest superstar chef isn't Bouley, or even Paul Liebrandt, whose icy, polished gem of a restaurant, Corton , is Tribeca’s closest thing these days to an old-fashioned, haute cuisine culinary destination. It’s arguably Marc Forgione, who last year was named a TV Iron Chef by the Food Network. (Incidentally, he won the title by beating Marco Canora, whose own modestly priced Terroir Tribeca is the wine bar of choice among my trendy downtown friends.) Forgione’s eponymous and Michelin-starred restaurant on Reade specializes in new age comfort dishes like "BLT Ravioli," suckling pig, and a "Fudge Brownie" dessert garnished with Nutella and cacao marshmallows."

SNAKES 'R' STUPID

Image
A fresh lamb dinner might sound like a manageable meal for an 18-foot-long (5.5-meter-long) python. But maybe the hungry snake should have waited for the lamb to be born. Last week firefighters in the Malaysian village of Kampung Jabor were called in to remove the bloated snake (pictured) from a roadway. The reptile had swallowed an entire pregnant sheep and was too full to slither away and digest its supersize meal.  But the stress of being captured likely triggered the python to purge—it eventually regurgitated the dead ewe. In July a pet Burmese python in Idaho required life-saving surgery to remove a queen-size electric blanket from its digestive tract. Unfortunately for a 13-foot (4-meter) Burmese python in Florida's Everglades National Park, eating the enemy seems to have caused the voracious reptile to bust a gut—literally.  Wildlife researchers with the South Florida Natural Resources Center found the dead, headless python in October 2005 after it apparently ...

Time to Take up the Piano Again

From an article about the demise of the New York City Opera - "That sort of stability does not come cheap. New York Philharmonic musicians’ salaries start at $134,940. A Lincoln Center stagehand can make nearly $330,000. The Philadelphia Orchestra, which is seeking bankruptcy protection, is staring at $44.8 million in unfunded pension liabilities. While City Opera pays no rent on the David H. Koch Theater, it has to lay out $4.5 million a year just to keep the facility running."
