Best of the Web This Week

I did not quite get caught up on my feeds and photo sources as the Sleep Monster grabbed me and seemingly would not let me go.  I slept a good 7 hours yesterday afternoon and another 5 hours after dinner last night.  I arose around 2 AM to begin the catching up process where I had left off before falling asleep, concentrating mostly on the gathering of photographs for inclusion in today's review.  I figured the news items and videos would keep until I got around to them.  I have another day off tomorrow with which to work on that anyway.  I still have gathered nearly 1100 photographs, so I figured I had a representative enough sampling to choose from to get a requisite number of photographs for you to cruise and peruse.  With all the angst I have been going through with the bitch fight between blogger and Picasa Web Albums, I decided to try another way to upload the photos into the post editor.  I went back to the way I used to do it using the Blog This button in Picasa3, which seems to be working again at the moment.  Although I can upload fewer photographs at a time, at least they post into the editor in a draft format.  I then combined the drafts to create the post you are viewing now.  In the end I selected 88 prime examples of physical perfection for your inspection which you will find arrayed down the page immediately following your Saturday Soundtrack .

For your Saturday Soundtrack this week, I have a marvelous recording of the London Symphony Orchestra with Daniel Barenboim at the podium and featuring the inimitable Arther Rubenstein at the  Piano performing Piano Concerti Numbers 1-5 of Ludwig von Beethoven.  This delightful performance should give you plenty of accompaniment for a leisurely stroll down the page for a careful inspection of the many examples of the fine art of the male form displayed below.  Thank you for choosing to spend part of your weekend here at Nichevo.  I look forward to seeing you again on Monday.  Until next time as always, Enjoy!
