Cute puppy looking for loving parent!


Are you looking for the perfect companion? Well Tim, a Labrador Retriever mix, might be the perfect match for you. According to the ASPCA, "Tim is an energetic and enthusiastic puppy. He loves exploring new places and meeting new people and dogs. Nothing makes him happier than a game of chase with another puppy his age."

As most of you already know I have somewhat recently gotten a puppy of my own (Ralphy Austin Levine). He has brought both my family and myself great happiness. Although owning a puppy is a tremendous responsibility its benefits are immeasurable.

If you are interested in adopting this puppy, who will in fact become quite a large dog, please call the ASPCA whose information is listed below.

Hey, Look, This Floor’s Made of Salami!


Belgian Conceptual artist, Wim Delvoye, is the incredible artist behind this faux-marble floor made entirely of salami. The meat mat was featured this past weekend at the Armory Show, which I unfortunately missed out on.

Delvoye is known for his unconventional projects that have been noted around the world. One particularly odd work of Delvoye's portrayed sexual acts in the form of stained glass church windows. Delvoyle had painted Barium on some of his friends who were then x-rayed having sex in a medical clinic. The x-rays were then set in church window pains and exhibited at the Grand Duke Jean Museum of Modern Art (Mudam) in Luxembourg.

Delvoye has plans to work with Daniel Boulud on some artwork for his new wine bar and restaurant that he’s planning in Beijing, designed after Cafe Boulud.
