I Prefer My Rice In A Chinese Buffet
I have written many articles and the ones about cars are always the most popular. I know why it is and it is because cars are just a lot of fun. Most of my articles have been about older muscle cars and newer muscle cars and which is better and why. One thing I think I can safely say is, whatever generation you prefer it is better than being a ?ricer".
Share a Romantic Valentine's Day with One's True Love at the Chinese New Year Show
Lucky for New Yorkers, Chinese New Year's and Valentine's Day just about coincide this year, giving them an opportunity to experience New Tang Dynasty TV's celebrated Chinese New Year Spectacular as it returns to Radio City Music Hall on February 14-17, just in time for Valentine's Day.
NTDTV's Chinese New Year Spectacular has been touring North America since early January, but the show at Radio City takes the production to a new level with many of the performances making their world premiere, a 45-piece live orchestra in the pit and a company of over 200 dancers, vocalists, and instrumentalists on stage.

Hello From Ottawa ? Doubling Up On Antiquity At The Museum Of Civilization
Today culture was on my mind. After enjoying two interesting exhibits at the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography, I made my way across the river to the City of Gatineau (formerly Hull) to visit Canada?s most popular museum: the Canadian Museum of Civilization. This rewowned Canadian institution is known for its unique architecture and is host to the Canadian Postal Museum, the Canadian Children?s Museum, an IMAX Theatre (which I was going to visit later today) and a variety of special exhibitions.

Museum Obtains One of the most Historic and Important FDR Paintings
(PRWEB) April 12, 2006 -- The Franklin D. Roosevelt American Heritage Museum, located in the historic Union Station, Worcester, Massachusetts, is pleased to announce the acquisition of a major art collection related to President Franklin D. Roosevelt: Madame Elizabeth Shoumatoff's watercolor proof studies for her famous unfinished portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt, executed in FDR's final hours. The third portrait of FDR in this precious art collection is actually the last finished portrait of President Roosevelt before his death on April 12, 1945 in Warm Springs, Georgia.
These are the most storied and famous images of a sitting President in the history of the Presidency of the United States. These three watercolors from the estate of Elizabeth Shoumatoff are the painter's equivalent of a writer's outline, a rough draft of a novel's opening paragraphs. Used to think out matters of color, composition, and depth, they allowed the artist to map her painting before putting her brush to the final canvas.
These stunning images of FDR were created over the three days that Shoumatoff spent as FDR's guest in Warm Springs, Georgia in April, 1945, the last three days of President Roosevelt's life. Certainly she used them when making the two portraits of FDR she executed after 1945, one which she donated to the Little White House, and the other which she created at the request of Lyndon Johnson for the Executive Mansion in Washington in 1967. Each watercolor is archivally matted and framed in goldleaf, and each of the three watercolor proof studies of FDR is progressively more detailed, the third being a magnificent finished likeness to FDR in his last days, wearing his naval cape and grasping a scroll in his left hand.
The first two watercolors framed measure 16 ½ x 24," and the third measures 20 ½ x 24 ½." These historic watercolors not only give us glimpses into the artist's conception of the final work, but also give testimony to a remarkable friendship that sprang up quickly-yet deeply-between artist and subject. A full description is available on the FDR American Heritage Center Museum website at http://www.fdrheritage.org. Just go to the Current Events section of our Web site.
