Hospitalization is an important outcome in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), shown previously to correlate with survival. Using the Registry to Evaluate Early and Long-term PAH Disease Management (REVEAL Registry), we sought to characterize first-time hospitalizations and their effect on subsequent hospitalization and survival in patients with newly diagnosed disease.
Patients with newly diagnosed PAH (n = 862, World Health Organization group 1) were evaluated for first-time hospitalization. The hospitalizations were categorized as PAH related or PAH unrelated based on the case report form. Categories for PAH-related and PAH-unrelated hospitalization were defined before independent review. Patient demographics and disease characteristics are described as well as freedom from hospitalization and survival.
Of 862 patients, 490 (56.8%) had one or more hospitalizations postenrollment: 257 (52.4%) PAH related, 214 (43.7%) PAH unrelated, and 19 (3.9%) of undetermined causes. The most common causes of PAH-related hospitalization were congestive heart failure and placement/removal of a central venous catheter. Patients with PAH-related hospitalizations were more likely to receive parenteral therapy, be in functional class III/IV, and have higher risk scores before hospitalization at enrollment. Following discharge, 25.4% ± 3.2% and 31.0% ± 4.0% of patients with PAH-related and PAH-unrelated first hospitalization, respectively, remained hospitalization-free for 3 years (P = .11). Survival estimates at 3 years postdischarge were 56.8% ± 3.5% and 67.8% ± 3.6% (P = .037) for patients with PAH-related and PAH-unrelated hospitalization, respectively.
In the REVEAL Registry, PAH-related hospitalization was associated with relatively more rehospitalizations and worse survival at 3 years.
ClinicalTrials.gov; No.: NCT00370214; URL: www.clinicaltrials.gov
A composite end point encompassing hospitalization is considered a "level 1" end point, that is, a true measure of clinical efficacy.1 Clinical studies of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) have incorporated such composite clinical-worsening end points in their study design,2‐6 including a recent long-term event-driven clinical study that used time to PAH-related death or PAH-related hospitalization as a critical secondary end point.7 Clinical worsening, defined as worsening functional class, ≥ 15% reduction in 6-min walk distance, need for parenteral prostacyclin analog therapy, or all-cause hospitalization, has been found to predict mortality at 1 year after any parameter of clinical worsening is met.8,9 Furthermore, hospitalization among patients with PAH appears to be associated with increased subsequent mortality.10‐12 Hospitalization—and rehospitalization—therefore, represent a substantial burden both for patients with PAH and for the health-care system.13
Reports that characterize hospitalizations and/or calculate subsequent survival posthospitalization in patients with PAH have identified factors at hospital admission that correlate with subsequent survival.10‐12,14 However, it is difficult to generalize these reports to routine practice because of their single-center experience and their focus on only certain causes of PAH (World Health Organization [WHO] group 1 pulmonary hypertension). Also, these reports describe patients with disease-related hospitalizations and not patients with disease-unrelated hospitalizations or no hospitalizations, characterizations that could elucidate the relative burdens of the disease, hospitalization for any reason, and hospitalization specifically related to disease.
The Registry to Evaluate Early and Long-term PAH Disease Management (REVEAL Registry) is an observational registry that provides current information about the demographics, disease course, and management of patients with PAH.15 In this retrospective analysis, we characterize first-time hospitalizations after enrollment among patients with newly diagnosed disease in the REVEAL Registry and describe demographics and clinical characteristics of patients at enrollment and/or diagnosis, by category of hospitalization. We also examine the effect of first-time hospitalization on risk of subsequent hospitalization and on survival.
The design of the REVEAL Registry has been described previously.15 Briefly, the REVEAL Registry is a multicenter observational, prospective registry involving 55 university-affiliated and community hospital-based pulmonary hypertension centers in the United States. Each of the participating sites received institutional review board approval (e-Table 1). Patients with PAH (WHO group 1 pulmonary hypertension; Venice 2003 definition),16 confirmed by right-sided heart catheterization, were enrolled consecutively from March 2006 through December 2009 after providing informed consent.
For this analysis we evaluated only patients with newly diagnosed disease with qualifying right-sided heart catheterization within 90 days of enrollment with hemodynamics measured at rest. Only patients with pulmonary capillary wedge pressure ≤ 15 mm Hg were included.
First-time postenrollment hospitalizations were independently reviewed by three investigators (C. D. B., P. K. L., and R. E. S.) and categorized as PAH related or not primarily related to PAH (hereafter referred to as "PAH unrelated") based on information in case report forms (dates of hospital admission and discharge, primary discharge diagnosis, reason for hospitalization, disease characteristics, and treatments prior to admission). Secondary diagnoses were not available, so the determination of PAH related vs PAH unrelated was made based only on the primary diagnosis. Categories for PAH-related hospitalization were determined before review, and any one of these categories would have constituted a PAH-related hospitalization. Categories for the PAH-unrelated hospitalizations were also determined before review, but some modifications were made afterward to cover all categories with more than one admission—any single discharge diagnosis that did not fit in a category was classified as "other." More than one category could have been present at any given admission, and in those situations the primary discharge diagnosis was the determinate of hospitalization causality. Data download for these analyses occurred on February 4, 2013.
Group differences in patient demographics and disease characteristics determined at enrollment were tested with Pearson χ2, Mantel-Haenszel χ2, or t tests for binary, ordinal, and continuous variables, respectively. For variables with highly skewed distributions, the Wilcoxon test was used. Kaplan-Meier estimates for freedom from hospitalization and for survival were computed for distinct at-risk periods: (1) for the full cohort (ie, hospitalized and nonhospitalized patients), the risk period began at enrollment; (2) for patients with a first-time hospitalization, the risk period (for freedom from event following hospitalization) began at hospital discharge; (3) for patients event-free through the first year of follow-up, the at-risk period for future follow-up began at 365 days after enrollment.
Of 862 patients in the analysis cohort, 490 (56.8%) had at least one hospitalization during follow-up on study, and 372 (43.2%) had none (Fig 1). Of the 490 first-time hospitalizations, 257 (52.4%) were for causes clearly related to PAH, 214 (43.7%) were for PAH-unrelated causes that were considered related to comorbidity, and 19 (3.9%) could not be characterized as PAH related or unrelated because of insufficient data (Fig 1). The median time from right-sided heart catheterization diagnosis to study enrollment was 26 days.
Among the 257 patients hospitalized for PAH-related causes, congestive heart failure (n = 81, 31.5%) and placement or removal of a central venous catheter (n = 63, 24.5%) were the two most common causes cited at admission (Table 1). Other common causes for first-time hospitalization were the initial IV line insertion (n = 30, 11.7%), which represents the initiation of IV therapy, and the escalation of therapy for PAH (n = 23, 8.9%). A total of 21 PAH-related hospitalizations (8.2%) were associated with catheter infection: 11 occurring in the first year, three in the second year, and seven in the third year or later.
Reasons are not mutually exclusive; a patient could have been hospitalized for more than one reason. PAH = pulmonary arterial hypertension; PH = pulmonary hypertension.
Includes angina and myocardial infarction.
Among the 214 patients hospitalized for PAH-unrelated causes, non-line-related infections were cited most commonly: PAH-unrelated infections (n = 38, 21.1%) and pneumonia (n = 34, 15.9%) (Table 1). Other common diagnoses at the time of first hospitalization were surgery/procedures (n = 24, 11.2%) and hemorrhage (n = 19, 8.9%).
Patients hospitalized for any reason were more likely than patients not hospitalized to have comorbidities (diabetes and depression) and to have more severe PAH at enrollment, as measured by functional class, presence of pericardial effusion, higher mean atrial pressure, lower cardiac index, and higher REVEAL Registry risk score. Patients with hospitalizations also had significantly longer follow-up from enrollment than patients without hospitalizations (Table 2).
All patients with ≥ 1 hospitalization (C) includes patients with PAH-related (A) and PAH-unrelated (B) hospitalizations. Nineteen patients with undetermined causes of hospitalization were not included in this cohort. 6MWD = 6-min walk distance; BNP = brain natriuretic peptide; CHD = congenital heart disease; CTD = connective tissue disease; IQR = interquartile range; mPAP = mean pulmonary arterial pressure; mRAP = mean right atrial pressure; NYHA = New York Heart Association; PoPH = portopulmonary hypertension; PVOD = pulmonary veno-occlusive disease; PVR = pulmonary vascular resistance. See Table 1 legend for expansion of other abbreviation.
The total number of patients in each cohort with data at enrollment for each parameter is assumed to be 257 (A), 214 (B), 471 (C), and 372 (D), unless otherwise noted.

Comparison between PAH-related and PAH-unrelated groups revealed few differences at enrollment. In particular, patients with PAH-related hospitalizations were less likely than patients with PAH-unrelated hospitalizations to be < 18 years of age and more likely to have more severe PAH, as measured by functional class and lower cardiac index. Length of follow-up from enrollment was also shorter for the PAH-related group (Table 2).
Hospitalization-related characteristics were similar overall between the PAH-related and PAH-unrelated groups, with the notable exception that patients with PAH-related hospitalizations were more likely to be on parenteral therapy, to be in functional class III or IV prior to hospitalization, and to have a higher REVEAL Registry risk score prior to hospitalization (Table 3). Further description of the type and timing of PAH-related hospitalizations, including distribution of specific causes for hospitalization over time, is provided in the online supplement (e-Figs 1, 2, e-Table 2).
All patients with ≥ 1 hospitalization (C) includes patients with PAH-related (A) and PAH-unrelated (B) hospitalizations. Nineteen patients with undetermined causes of hospitalization were not included in this cohort. FC = New York Heart Association functional class. See Table 1 legend for expansion of other abbreviation.
The total number of patients in each cohort with data at enrollment for each parameter is assumed to be 257 (A), 214 (B), and 471 (C), unless otherwise noted.
P value is computed using Fisher exact test.
For the entire analysis cohort at 3 years from enrollment, 45.4% ± 1.8% of patients remained free from hospitalization (Fig 2A). Among patients who were hospitalized and discharged alive following the first hospitalization, 25.4% ± 3.2% of patients with PAH-related and 31.0% ± 4.0% of patients with PAH-unrelated first hospitalization remained free from a second hospitalization at 3 years postdischarge (P = .11) (Fig 2B). For patients who remained hospitalization-free for 1 year postenrollment, 53.7% ± 2.5% remained free from admission after an additional 3 years of follow-up (Fig 2C).
In-hospital mortality was significantly higher for PAH-related hospitalizations compared with PAH-unrelated hospitalizations (5.4% vs 1.4%, P = .024) (Table 3). Among those discharged alive following first-time hospitalization, the survival estimate at 3 years postdischarge was lower for patients with PAH-related hospitalization than for patients with PAH-unrelated hospitalization (56.8% ± 3.5% vs 67.8% ± 3.6%, P = .037) (Fig 3A). Among patients who remained hospitalization-free for 1 year postenrollment, survival after 3 additional years of follow-up was 77.8% ± 1.9% (Fig 3B).
The REVEAL Registry represents the largest database so far of patients newly diagnosed with PAH (WHO group 1) analyzed for characteristics of first-time hospitalization. The burden of disease in patients with PAH is substantial, as evidenced by the high incidence of hospitalization (57%) in this cohort of patients with newly diagnosed disease from the prospective REVEAL Registry. Our findings clearly demonstrate that all-cause hospitalization is very common among patients with newly diagnosed disease. In particular, the rate of PAH-unrelated hospitalizations in this REVEAL Registry cohort is relatively high, suggesting that the term "PAH-unrelated" is a misnomer and that this category of hospitalization actually reflects a degree of risk conferred by the PAH comorbidity. For example, a primary discharge diagnosis of "pneumonia" on the case report form would result in a categorization of that patient's hospitalization as PAH-unrelated. However, if PAH predisposes the patient to non-line-related infections such as pneumonia or if an infection such as pneumonia were to precipitate congestive heart failure, then one could argue that the hospitalization is truly PAH related. The current study is unable to address that methodologic challenge. Although 53% of patients had first-time hospitalizations that were clearly related to PAH, it is unclear what proportion of so-called "PAH-unrelated" hospitalizations were truly incidental or precipitated by the PAH comorbidity to some extent.
Patients in this analysis who were hospitalized for any reason had a higher prevalence of comorbidities and more severe PAH at enrollment, as measured by functional class, pericardial effusion, mean right atrial pressure, and REVEAL Registry risk score, compared with patients without hospitalizations. Fewer differences at enrollment distinguished between patients with PAH-related and PAH-unrelated hospitalizations, although patients with PAH-related hospitalizations presented with more severe PAH at the time of first admission. The lack of differences between the PAH-related and PAH-unrelated groups at enrollment is an important point, given our finding that both in-hospital and postdischarge survival are significantly worse for patients hospitalized for PAH-related reasons, despite the similar frequencies at which PAH-related and PAH-unrelated hospitalizations occur. The worse outcomes were seen in the PAH-related group despite > 46% use of parenteral prostanoids at the time of the first hospitalization compared with 22% in the PAH-unrelated group.
Hospital readmission is common for patients with PAH, especially those whose first hospitalization was PAH related. Only 25.4% of patients discharged after a PAH-related hospitalization remained free from readmission 3 years later. Furthermore, hospitalization for any cause increases overall risk of death, an association that has been documented previously.8 Even for patients with no hospitalizations in the first year after enrollment, almost one-half experience at least one hospitalization over the subsequent 3 years, despite treatment of PAH, indicating that surviving the first year hospitalization-free does not strongly relate to the likelihood of future hospitalization.
Mean total hospital days in the year after first admission (inclusive of first admission) for all patients with at least one hospitalization was 15.3 days (median, 7.0 days), which represents a significant burden for both the health-care system as a whole and for individual patients. For our analysis, we did not evaluate the burden of cost for PAH-related hospitalization. One retrospective study estimated total per-patient per-month costs (including inpatient and outpatient costs) at $4,021 for patients with PAH.17 Extrapolating from that figure, we calculate that total costs for PAH were about $188 million in 2012 (assuming a prevalence of 12.4 cases per million18 and 313.9 million people in the United States in 201219). Based on the attention currently paid to left-sided heart failure by regulatory and reimbursement third parties,20 for which total costs are estimated at $30 billion in the United States in 2013,21 one might expect similar emphasis to be directed at PAH-related hospitalizations, particularly those for heart failure.
This analysis may have been limited by several factors. First, the analysis presented here was retrospectively determined and may be limited by the biases inherent to any analysis that is not fully prespecified prospectively before the data are collected. This includes the selection of the cohort for the analysis. We chose to focus on patients with newly diagnosed disease to minimize survivor bias, but it must be noted that there was, typically, a delay of about 1 month between diagnosis and enrollment. Perhaps more importantly, at the time of the first hospitalization, patients no longer had newly diagnosed disease, but rather those results should be generalized to patients being discharged after their first postdiagnosis hospitalization.
Second, the categorization of hospitalization as PAH related or unrelated was made based on specific retrospective data available from the case report form, and in 42 cases (16.3%) of hospitalization causality related to PAH could not be determined. Access to full patient charts was not available at the time of investigator review of the data. Third, the hospitalization subcategories overlapped. For example, "placement or removal of a central venous catheter" may overlap with "initial IV line insertion." Some of the overlap was mitigated by ensuring that the category "PAH-unrelated infection" excluded both "catheter infection" (PAH-related) and "pneumonia" (PAH-unrelated hospitalization), so that these three categories of infection were considered separately. Fourth, the significantly longer period of follow-up for patients with hospitalizations, compared with patients without hospitalizations, may be a source of bias, since the likelihood of a hospitalization event increases with time.
PAH is associated with a considerable burden of disease (as measured by all-cause hospitalization). Patients who are more severely ill (ie, with more severe PAH or multiple comorbidities) are at higher risk for all-cause hospitalization. The degree of freedom from hospitalization is very poor after the first hospitalization, regardless of the cause. Prognosis is relatively better for patients with no hospitalizations in the first year or first hospitalization occurring after 1 year, but it nevertheless remains poor.

When your goal is to create a world-class pro-touring machine, there can't be any asterisks on its spec sheet. That's why the crew at MASCAR Autobody in Costa Mesa, California started this build with an original G-code 1970 Ford Boss 302 Mustang. A performer from day one, this pony was even factory-equipped with the desirable W-code 4.30 Drag Pack option. And after roughly 2,000 hours of labor, it was transformed into an attention-grabbing pavement pounder that's ready to dominate both the show field and the autocross circuit. Have you been fervidly looking for the perfect muscle car that's as livable as it is lust worthy? Then this awesome Boss pro-tourer is a refreshing cure for your tired eyes!
While this coupe's classic good looks originated in the mind of automotive designer Larry Shinoda, it was the first class professionals at MASCAR that worked double time to ensure those looks present better than ever before. The car's body was stripped to bare metal and completely massaged over the course of 600 hours. A fresh coat of Grabber Green two-stage was accented with classic Boss war paint. Panel fit and finish work was refined to faultless levels, creating clear reflections from a profile that displays a notable absence of flaws. And when all was said and done, this Ford debuted as a fresh twist on a 'can't miss' favorite that puts most common restorations to shame.
For 1970 the Mustang received a smoother body, a less aggressive face, a flat rear valence and a variety of balanced trim tweaks. The idea was to tame looks that some believed were hindering sales and better the car's performance in crucial SCCA Trans Am events. At the leading edge of this super slick Boss, a correct, Mustang-branded grille hangs bright halogen headlights between familiar 'fender fins', a pristine chrome bumper, crystal clear parking lamps and an aggressive chin spoiler. At the top of that grille, a custom fabricated Torino shaker leads the eye to like-new glass that's framed by spotless stainless wipers, correct sport mirrors and straight, polished trim. At the sides of that glass, re-fashioned fenders combine with chrome-trimmed marker lights and traditional Ford door handles to provide an aggressive, yet finished appearance. And at the back of the car, a correct black valence anchors an ornate fuel filler and segmented tail lights between a large decklid spoiler, a fresh "MUSTANG" script, a second pristine bumper and wide-set reverse lamps.
Between the aforementioned 'fender fins', a Ken Maisano-built Ford 302 has been fully balanced, completely detailed and stroked to 360 cubic inches. That hot small block utilizes ARP bolts, Clevite bearings, a billet crank, a custom Cam Motion cam, Probe H-beam connecting rods and JE 10.8 to 1 pistons to create mountains of SCCA-winning torque. At the top of the buff mill, a custom air cleaner feeds big Holley carburetors that are tethered to a rare Shelby intake, clean stainless lines and a high quality Edelbrock fuel pump. At the sides of those carburetors, ported DOZE heads conceal Crane rockers, Competition valve springs and Smith Brothers pushrods between Isky lifters and finned Shelby valve covers. At the front of those heads, a familiar points distributor sequences sparks between an MSD ignition system and high quality MSD plug wires. Beneath those wires, ceramic coated headers send charred dinosaurs into a custom-built, three-inch exhaust system. And in front of those headers, a cowled Be Cool radiator circulates water around two Spal puller fans, an Edelbrock water pump, a KRC steering pump, a Powermaster alternator and Cloyes timing components. You'll be happy to know the clean V8 has been sufficiently coated in subdued black paint and properly seated in a gloss black bay. You'll be excited to see items like fresh decals, relocated Moroso breathers, billet pulleys, a correct Autolite rev limiter and TCP truss braces rounding out a trophy worthy engine display. And you'll be thrilled to learn the mean motor burns to a stellar 525 horsepower!
Shine a light under this Boss and a freshly restored undercarriage reveals satin black floors that are speckled with high performance hardware. Behind the stroked 302, a Keisler-supplied Tremec TKO-600 5-speed utilizes a rugged SPEC clutch to pop quick and confident shifts. From there, power is sent to a Total Control Products 9-inch Traction-Lok rear end that's equipped with Strange 4.30 gears; a nod to the car's Drag Pack heritage. Cornering capabilities come courtesy of adjustable VariShock coilovers that are aided by custom-built shock supports, a custom upper pan rod bar, a Chris Alston's Chassisworks 4-link and a roster of TCP suspension products. A power rack and pinion setup keeps steering effort minimal while electrically-assisted Wilwood 12-inch disc brakes ensure the car stops as well as it goes. There's a pair of simple, mandrel-bent pipes that usher spent gases through big Flowmaster mufflers. Chromed and custom widened Magnum 500-style wheels spin 245/45ZR17 BF Goodrich G-Force Super Sports in front of 275/40ZR17 BF Goodrich G-Force Super Sports. And, as with the car's engine bay, many detail items, like a TCP subframe system, Powermaster mini starter and Aeromotive fuel components, mix killer performance with trophy winning aesthetics.
Inside this Ford, a comfortable black interior should make any Mustang fan feel right at home. All the car's soft parts, from its carpet and mats to its headliner and visors, appear new, and the hi-back bucket seats provide plenty of support for spirited driving. From the captain's chair, a familiar Mustang dash mixes straight, crack-free vinyl with tasteful black trim. A nice set of factory gauges keeps tabs on fuel, speed and RPMs while a painted and speed-drilled steering wheel connects the driver to the road via a tilting Ididit column. In the center of the cockpit, a correct factory stereo hangs over an original-looking console that frames small Stewart Warner gauges in front of a chrome Hurst shifter. At the sides of the cabin, attractive door panels hang large pleats behind fresh chrome trim. And behind the passengers, a restored trunk seals a fresh mat beneath a capped and relocated battery.
The sale of this slick fastback includes a few restoration photos, a pile of restoration receipts, a stack of component manuals, notes for the Maisano-built engine and Super Flow 901 dyno results.
It's hard to imagine the automotive world without Ford's Mustang. For almost 50 years, America's original pony car has been admired by racers and purists alike. With its strong drivetrain, capable chassis and nearly universal appeal, this Boss pro-tourer is an excellent mix of old school fun and show-stopping looks. And if you're shopping for a highly desirable classic that incites smiles and turns heads, it's definitely your kind of car!

In under two-and-a-half months, the bikes have been used for well over a million journeys, while more than 94,000 Londoners are signed up to use them. A normal weekday sees about 20,000 hires — an average of more than three per bike. And they are being used, as intended, for short, functional hops: 93 per cent of journeys are free, lasting less than 30 minutes.
What is more interesting is the wider effect on cycling in London. Research by the London Assembly suggests that more than one in five Boris bike users had not previously cycled in the capital. There is anecdotal evidence of overall numbers of cyclists going up: certainly it looks that way to me as I cycle in, with every junction crowded with bikes, even on these colder, darker mornings.
Meanwhile Halfords admitted last week that it had suffered problems because of being unable to keep up with soaring demand for road bikes: chief executive David Wild said that the Boris bikes had "certainly accelerated" this trend.
Cycling is becoming a normal transport choice in the capital in a way that it was not a decade ago. In my neighbourhood, a campaign to save the dilapidated Herne Hill velodrome, last surviving venue of the 1948 Olympics and still a major cycling centre, has attracted astonishing local support. A meeting last week drew more than 700 people — more than any community campaign I can remember.
Granted, the Herne Hill velodrome campaign draws support in part from cycling enthusiasts a good deal more committed to the sport than your average cycle commuter. But it's also a measure of local London's attachment to cycling. Now cyclists need to campaign for improvements to local routes to make cycling easier still.
As of April, money given by Transport for London to local councils for cycling is no longer ring-fenced — leaving boroughs able to raid those funds for other things if so tempted. Yet there are still hundreds of gaps in the Local Cycle Network: boroughs need to fund straightforward and relatively cheap changes to roads that would make a huge difference to cyclists, such as better signs, smoother surfaces and contra-flow lanes.
The London Cycling Campaign reckons there are more than a million bicycles in London, and four out of 10 Londoners have access to one. Yet with an estimated half a million cycle journeys a day, a lot of those bikes would still appear to be gathering dust in the capital's sheds and garages. Now we need a cycling revolution across the capital to match that of the chunky grey-and-blue bikes weaving their way through Zone 1.
Battersea Power Station - who cares?
How splendid that the River Thames has won this year's International Theiss River Prize, which celebrates "outstanding achievements in river management and restoration". We fought off stiff competition yesterday from China's Yellow River, among others, to take the top spot, thanks to the successful clean-up of London's waterway.
Yet I can't feel so positive about the financing deal agreed this week to save one of its best-known landmarks, Battersea Power Station. Developer REO, which bought the site four years ago, hopes the deal will help bring its plans to fruition. But the real problem is that trying to save the Grade II-listed structure is both hopeless — it's falling down — and pointless: it's just a very ugly mid 20th-century power station. So it's the largest brick building in Europe: why the sentimentality? Knock it down and start afresh.
War's laws of unintended consequences
The tragic death of Linda Norgrove highlights the terrible risks to aid workers in Afghanistan. At least 58 NGO staff and their Afghan helpers have been killed since 2001 and the situation is worsening. In August, three workers for Oxfam were killed by a roadside bomb, while elsewhere the Taliban shot dead 10 members of a medical charity and their helpers.
The truth is that all blowback from Western involvement in Afghanistan is complicated and lethal. It's a theme brilliantly dramatised in the National Theatre's riveting current production of Blood and Gifts. As the central — not unsympathetic — CIA character, Jim Warnock, exclaims at one point: "My God, Russian soldiers being shot with Chinese bullets. Sometimes the world is so beautiful!" Whether our erstwhile allies turn Taliban, go rogue or simply sell arms to criminals, the end result is far uglier than intended.
Hand of God in Chile
It's exciting to see the first of the Chilean miners appearing from their imprisonment underground. But it seems that rival Christian groups on the surface are unable to agree on the credit for this miracle: Catholic, evangelical and Adventist clerics are all claiming that their prayers to God alone swung the balance. One hopes He might now send some sort of sign to confirm which sect really did have the direct line to the top. Meanwhile, I say thank God for heavy engineering technology.

First of all I only book Holland America if at all possible if it fits in with my schedule. This was my second Alaska Cruise and it was just great! This time my sister and brother in law came along for their first time and loved every minute of it. It was so much fun and the food and entertainment was wonderful. We actually booked another cruise while on board with wonderful perks and we just can't wait. Holland America is just classy without being ostentatious and every member of the crew always had a smile and a nice greeting and did everything to please.

My baby is 3.5mo old, and I, apparently, am pregnant. I think I'm only about 4 weeks.
I have nursed my other 3 until a year (ebf) and then started solids. But, I also know that my supply dries up around month 4 or so. So...what do I need to do to get my little baby enough milk? I really, really, really don't want to give her formula.
I wondered if I started pumping now if I could get at least half of what she needed. Or, maybe at the very least get her enough so that she kept her "taste" for breastmilk and would nurse after the baby is born. Oh my..."the baby is born." Really? I just did that.
Anyway, any advice?
"If you keep doing the same things you've always done, you'll keep getting the same results you've always gotten."
Hello, there! First, just, wow! Congrats!
Pumping now to get your lo past the yucks sounds like a great idea to me, but have no personal experiece. I kow that several of my friends have tandem nursed and nursed through pregnancy so it can be done. :)
Really, I just wanted to offer you my virtual support.
I don't have any advice other than to tell you that your milk doesn't always dry up. I had a friend in very similar circumstances (early son nursed until 3, found out she was pregnant at 3 months) and thinks that she matintained her milk supply throughout the pregnancy. Or, at least the baby had good weight gain throughout the first year and they did not need to supplement with formula which isn't quite the same but all that matters. The older baby tandemed for a few months with the newborn and then self-weaned at around 16 or 18m.
I would watch weight closely and then hope! If you do loose your milk supply, it usually happens at around 20w and previous supply is not much of an indicator.
Gently, I don't think it is very likely that you can pump enough milk in advance. You might need to make peace with needing to supplement with donor milk or formula or transition to them entirely. An SNS system might be helpful at a certain point.
However, it would be really helpful to have a nice stash to supplement or transition later. I found double-pumping to be helpful when building a stash. Nurse baby in the morning, wait an hour, pump 10m take a shower and pump 10m. I did this in the evening too.
I pumped for while when I first became pregnant-- and we were able to hold off using forumula with my stash for a few months. I say, give it shot if it's not too uncomfortable-- pumping will only increase your supply further.

No charges will be filed in the shooting of a white deer this week in northeast Iowa.
Investigation by Department of Natural Resources biologists and a Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS) veterinarian showed that the animal, shot Jan. 9 by a muzzleloader hunter in Jakway Park Wildlife Area in Buchanan County, is a fallow deer, not a wild Iowa white-tailed deer.
Fallow deer are a non-native species and are not protected by state law. Wild white-tailed deer that are predominantly white in color are protected. That law was passed by the Iowa Legislature in the 1980s, following the legal shooting of a white deer in the St. Ansgar area. Albino or mostly white wild white-tailed deer are rare in Iowa although several are sighted each year.
The Jakway Park deer also showed scarred tissue in an ear, indicating it had been tagged at some point. That suggests it may have come from a game farm. There are dozens of licensed facilities across Iowa, including 17 in Buchanan County. Animals in such game farm settings are classed as domestic livestock under Iowa law.
Assisting DNR wildlife biologists with the verification was assistant state veterinarian Dr. Randy Wheeler, with IDALS.

Essential Oil Gear
What's The Deal With Shipping Costs Anyhoo?
Let's talk about shipping costs for a moment, shall we? I've seen MANY rants lately about the high costs of shipping. Read on and hopefully I can shed some light on the subject. Here's the thing with shipping - and I should know because my art fabrication company has been shipping canvas and frames and stuff for over 8 years: No matter WHAT YOU GET - shipping needs to be paid. There is NO "Free Shipping." When you see that the cost is rolled into the cost of the product(s) you're buying. In some states there is tax on shipping, as it is technically a "service." That's a State Board of Taxation thing, and there's nothing the business can do about it. Thankfully, here in Vegas, Essential Oil Gear doesn't have to pay that to get supplies to you. FedEx/UPS/USPS/DHL all have to be paid. The person at my company who pulls your order, puts it into a box and snuggles everything up and prints the label needs to be paid. Those shipping supplies need to be paid for. Gas prices for airplanes and trucks and cars need to be paid for. Some companies charge a TON for shipping, and make money off of it. Personally, I would rather charge as close to the exact shipping cost as I can. That's how I've been doing business for 8 years now, and how I will continue to do business. We choose to ship FedEx. They have the least damage rate, and we have EXCELLENT pricing with them. We even ship to Canada - and....wait for it....we pay your brokerage fees. I mean really - it's not like you're in a different country or something. You just live upstairs! Yeesh! So - next time you (that's a collective "you" btw) get all crazy about shipping charges, think about what goes into getting your stuff to you. Then choose a vendor that doesn't charge you a ton extra for that. I'm hoping that will be us!

anime series for me??
I'm looking for a romantic anime. I don't want a ecchi series. Well if the ecchi sences are for yoai then yes. Well here's a list:
-sad or very trajic like someone dies
-action packed
-hard to understand
Well here is some romantic anime I like
-Pandora hearts
-rumbling hearts
-Kaze no stigma
-Vampire knight and guilty
Suzuka: Yamato Akitsuki travels to Tokyo alone to study in one of the high schools located within the area. He lives in with his aunt who operates a public bath solely for the ladies in the local district and begins his normal high-school life. One day, he chances upon a girl in school and is immediately mesmerised by her beauty. He is shocked when he realise later that the girl, Suzuka, is actually living next door to him.
others that are good : REC , honey and clover , nodame-cantabile.
Might not be exactly what you're looking for, but Voices of a Distant Star is an excellent little gem, and I think it's very romantic.
The best recommendation I can think of is Clannad and its continuation, Clannad After Story. Some of the best romance I've seen anywhere, not just in anime. But you've probably already heard of it. :)
True Tears is another great romance series, with strong visuals and a good progression. Has a unique appeal, and can be quite sad.
maybe kyokai senjou no horizon. hope this helps
I highly recommend Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora and H20 : Footprints in the Sand : they were both sad.

UPDATE 1-Argentine stocks rise with Tenaris, peso flat
(Updates with closing prices)
BUENOS AIRES, June 19 (Reuters) - Argentina's peso closed unchanged on Thursday after touching a two-year high intraday as the Central Bank sold dollars to stabilize the currency during a political crisis.
Most stocks fell, but the benchmark index rose led by heavyweight oil-linked issue Tenaris (TENA.BA: Cotización), which skyrocketed almost 10 percent to a record high of 109.3 pesos per share.
Tenaris was boosted because options to buy the stock expired on Thursday and because of a good outlook for demand for its steel tubes for the oil industry as crude prices remain high.
"The fundamentals of the (oil) sector are still good," said Antonio Cejuela, an analyst with Puente Hermanos brokerage in Buenos Aires.
The peso ARS=RASL closed flat at 3.0325/3.0350 per dollar in formal interbank trade, after touching 3.0250/3.0275 during the day, its strongest level in two years.
In informal trade between foreign exchange houses, as measured by Reuters, the peso strengthened 0.32 percent to 3.1075/3.1100 per dollar ARSB=.
Traders said the central bank continued tapping its foreign reserves to shore up the peso and avoid a run on the currency, as a three-month tax dispute between the government and farmers kept the country alert to possible food and fuel shortages.
Farm leaders extended their latest partial strike through Friday, vowing to withhold grains from market but allow other farm products to be sold. Continuación...

For what it is worth I teach electronics, and I did use Nortons for years, but it slowed my computer down badly. I now use Avast. It is by far the best free anti virus program out there. It downloads updates sometimes twice a day. Can not be beat for a free program. These guys do comerical anti virus for large company, but home use is free.
I use Spybot as it runs a program in the back ground that will not allow changes to be made to the registery without your premission, and run it once a week to do a scan. Good at shopping spy bots.
I use Adaware, also free. It is very good on tracking cookies.
I have not had any problems since I started running all three. But I do not know how many I have had to fix for people at work. The one that is a REAL problem is a verision of Anti Virus 2008, Now called Anti Virus 2009. Really a bad program.

UK Stocks-Factors to watch on April 22

Title: All I Want For Christmas is You
Author: Forsaken2003
Pairing: S/X
Rating: Xander is tired of life and is ready to sacrifice it. Can anyone stop him?
Disclaimer: I own none, all belong to Joss Whedon
Comments: Always welcomed!
Summary: Xander gets drunk and writes a letter to said asking for a sexy blonde vampire only to lose it and have Spike find it.
Warnings/Spoilers: Post NFA
Bunny Plot: Blackribboncat: Xander gets drunk and writes a letter to said asking for a sexy blonde vampire only to lose it and have Spike find it.
Beta'd by: Whichclothes
Xander took another swig of his beer before continuing to write. He knew it was stupid and that there was no Santa but Xander used to love writing Santa letters. He was also bored and drunk, a very bad combination.
Dear Santa,
I know you aren't real but I don't care. Okay that was a lie because I do care. If you were real I'd probably have a better chance of getting my wish than I do now. Not that you'd actually give me what I want though I think I'm entitled to whatever I want after the shit I've gone through the last seven years! Seven years of helping save lives and saving the world and giving up my own life. I think that puts me on the nice list for the rest of my life, don't you?
Anyway getting mad at the big jolly guy isn't going to get me anywhere so I'll just tell you what I want more than anything. There is this gorgeous blond vampire that I… well sorta love. I know I know. Vampires don't exist yadda, yadda, yadda, but they do. So you probably need a description of him even though I know I won't get him.
Spike is blond, with amazing blue eyes and cheeks to die for. He's one hundred and thirty years old. Spike has a thing for black and red, probably the vampire side of him. I know he loved Buffy and all but maybe he could… I don't know, love me too?
If that isn't possible do you think you could at least let us have a holiday where we all don't have to risk our necks? I should probably be asking the other big guy but you're still pretty powerful yourself.
Alexander Harris aka Xander.
Xander folded up his letter and stuck it into an envelope. He wouldn't send it. After all his was drunk not insane. Once it was in the envelope Xander placed it on the end table and decided it was time for bed.
He forgot that he had a window open for some fresh air and the letter flew out the window after Xander closed his bedroom door.
Spike was walking down the street, bored out of his skull. The S.I.T.'s were driving him insane with their whining or staring at him. Course he couldn't blame them for staring, he was drop dead sexy, but there was only so much he could take. Usually it wasn't too bad when Xander was around because then half of the S.I.T.'s would stare at him.
Speaking of Xander they had a date. Okay not really a date but they were supposed to go and play some pool and Xander never showed. Something was obviously wrong so Spike decided to go and check in on him. He was right outside Xander's apartment when he almost slipped. Spike looked down, knowing it wasn't ice since it hadn't snowed in weeks.
He bent down and picked up an envelope with no return address. Spike being the nosy bastard that he was pulled the piece of paper out. He unfolded it and read it. His eyes bulged and reread it two more times.
"Bloody hell," Spike mumbled to himself. He looked up at Xander's window, seeing the light was out.
Needing to think, Spike pocketed the letter and went back the way he came.
Xander was in a panic. When he woke up the next morning he remembered that he had written a letter to a man who didn't exist. He decided to throw it out. The only problem was he couldn't find the damn thing. What if one of the girls came over and found it? They'd think he was possessed and Willow would try doing magic on him. Magic and Xander never mixed well. Where the hell was that letter? He looked at the clock and swore. The Scooby Christmas dinner started in ten minutes along with the present exchange. Quickly he piled the presents into a box and rushed out of his apartment. At least Spike would be there and Xander could admire from afar.
The dinner went well except for the fact that Spike didn't show up. Dawn was very vocal about Spike not showing. His presents had been set aside while everyone gathered around and opened their own.
Xander loved everything he got. Buffy had given him his very own sword. For the most part his weapons were stakes and holy water. Xander always had to borrow from Buffy or the council. Buffy had also had engraved on it White Knight. Xander didn't tear up, his allergies just kicked in at that exact moment.
Willow had given him a souped-up laptop that had all the bells and whistles including the best anti-virus software anyone could have: a little bit of magic. That had worried Xander a little bit but both Buffy and Dawn said Willow had done the same to their computers months ago and they are still running like brand new. Having a witch as a best friend had its upsides.
Giles went out of his way for Xander's gift, a pristine first edition of the inaugural Superman comic book. Xander told him it was too much. They were worth millions. Giles shook his head and told Xander that he had inherited it from his uncle and that he knew Xander would take good care of it. Xander's allergies acted up again.
Dawn had given him his gift in private. It was a hand-drawn portrait of Spike. He should have known if anyone would know about his crush on Spike it would be her. After Sunnydale she'd become less self-involved and she'd begun to watch everyone. Xander gave her a hug and then quickly hid the portrait.
After Xander thanked them all for his gifts he decided that he'd head home and watch a Miracle on 34th Street.
It had started to snow just as Xander entered his building. He had to set his box down to open his apartment door. When it swung open Xander instantly knew something wasn't right. There was a soft glow coming from Xander's apartment and he remembered turning the television set off before he'd left. Quickly but quietly Xander picked up his new sword. If it was a burglar he was about to get a surprise. If it was a demon hopefully he could kill it.
Slowly he inched his way into his home. Xander paused when he saw the soft glow came from a dozen or so candles. Candles that Xander didn't own. "Hello?"
"About time you got home," Spike said coming out of the bedroom. Naked. A red bow tied around his neck.
Xander's jaw dropped. "Spike?" he managed to squeak.
"Were you expecting another sexy blond vampire?" Spike asked.
"Well, no. But to be honest I wasn't expecting a sexy blonde vampire at all," Xander said.
Spike looked at the sword. "Nice. New?"
"Huh?" Xander asked still staring at Spike. And possibly drooling. "Oh yeah, it's a Christmas present from Buffy. Speaking of which you didn't show you for the dinner or present opening."
"Had to get your pressie all set up, didn't I?" Spike said. "This is what you wanted, wasn't it? Don't you want to unwrap me?" he purred.
"There isn't much to unwrap," Xander commented.
Spike huffed, turned around and stormed into Xander's bedroom. Worried that Spike was going to leave Xander chased after him. Instead he found Spike had climbed onto his bed and just lay there. "What are you doing?" Xander asked.
"Waiting for you to realize that I am here to give you your Christmas present instead of you just bloody nit picking," Spike answered. He used his hands to pillow the back of his head, making himself comfortable. "Take your time; I've got no place to go."
Xander stood there running everything through his head. First there were candles lit in the living room and bedroom, not extremely safe but romantic. Second Spike was in his apartment completely naked except for the red bow around his neck. Third said vampire was laid out on Xander's bed again naked. Fourth Spike's dick was hard and drooling. "OH!"
"That's a good boy," Spike said.
"You stole my letter!" Xander accused but he started to undress. He wasn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth. He finally got Spike. If it was just for the night it would be a little disappointing but he couldn't pass it up. One night was better than nothing.
"Didn't steal it, I found it," Spike explained. His eyes watched eagerly as Xander undressed quickly.
When Xander finally dropped his boxers he began to crawl up from the bottom of the bed. His hands spread Spike's legs and fingers ran up and down them. Just as Xander suspected, Spike had soft skin. His hands reached Spike's thighs. They weren't as muscular as Xander's but dear God were they nice. Images of them wrapped around his waist danced in his head. He ran a finger over Spike's cock, and it jumped in response. "You're beautiful," Xander whispered, forgetting Spike would be able to hear him.
Spike heard what Xander said but didn't react. At least not physically. It had been decades since anyone told him he was beautiful. He pretended not to hear the words for Xander's sake. Spike didn't want to embarrass him in case he hadn't realized he had said the words.
Spike's hips thrust up off the bed when Xander dove in and wrapped his warm lips around him. "Bloody hell!"
Xander hummed in response, sending vibrations through Spike's cock and up his spine. When Spike started to babble about being close Xander pulled away. Spike growled in anger. "Don't want this over so soon. Want to take my time," Xander said.
"This is your pressie, pet," Spike reminded him. "Just be nice and let me get my leg over, yeah?"
"You will," Xander promised. He kissed and nibbled Spike's hip before trailing kisses over Spike's belly and up to his chest. His tongue ravished one of Spike's nipples while the other one was tweaked and pinched. Spike's body would have bucked right off the bed if it hadn't been for Xander's larger frame pinning his smaller one to the bed. Xander then was face to face with Spike, his hot breath puffing against Spike's lips. "Can I kiss you, Spike?"
It was strange being asked to be kissed but Spike remembered Xander was strange. Not wanting to ruin the moment by saying something snarky Spike simply nodded. Warm lips were then on his cold ones. It was soft and gentle type of kiss Spike had never experienced before. While the kiss went on Spike began to rub his cock against Xander's needing the friction. Xander quickly caught on and started to move as well.
The only thought that was going through Xander's mind was that he was actually with Spike. That they were actually going to come together. It was mind-boggling. How long had Xander fantasized about this?
Soon they were both huffing and puffing. Xander's head was bent back and Spike wondered if it was an invite. The thought quickly left his mind as his orgasm exploded. He knew he hadn't been the only one when he felt Xander's come mixed with his against his belly. It was warm and sticky. Weirdly enough it felt nice. Spike was instantly hard again just from the look in Xander's eye. He couldn't describe what he saw. Maybe he was still crazy but he could have sworn that it was love. "Not finished yet are you, pet?"
Xander shook his head, still panting. "Do you want top or bottom?"
It was a shock that Xander was asking Spike what he wanted, after all this was all for Xander. He had assumed Xander would top. "I'm already prepared for ya."
"You…" Xander's mouth went dry. All the blood rushed back to his cock. Spike had gotten himself all ready for Xander. Oh, Xander would have given his left hand to have watched that! "Are you sure?"
If Spike hadn't been so hard and aroused he would have found the question amusing. "If you don't want to I found your drawer of goodies. I can do it myself and be on my way."
With speed that Spike didn't know Xander had, Spike found a pillow pushed under his hips and Xander slowly pushing his cock into his tight hole. Spike groaned. None of Xander's toys compared to the real thing.
When Xander was inside him completely he looked down at Spike. "You okay?"
"Pet, I'm a vampire. I can take a lot," Spike reminded him. "This is your night; whatever you want, you got it."
Xander started to thrust in and out. He hated that Spike said night. That really was all he would get. He mentally shook himself. A night was better than nothing. Xander reminded himself. Then why did the thought of Spike leaving after tonight make him feel sick? He gasped when Spike flexed his muscles squeezing Xander's cock and bringing him back to the now. He'd mourn for his loss when it was over and Spike was gone.
Spike had seen Xander's attention drifting no doubt due to Spike's words. He wasn't about to ruin a perfect shag with because he stuck his foot in his mouth. So Spike clamped down around Xander and brought him back to the present. He was rewarded with a kiss.
Neither was going to last long, it had been almost a year for both of them since they had someone to be intimate with. And Spike really didn't count being intimate with Harmony. It had been nothing like this. Just a fuck while with Xander it was more. They were both putting all of themselves into it. There was more passion with Xander than there had ever been with Buffy.
Xander buried his face into Spike's throat breathing in his scent: nicotine and leather. He wanted to make this last but both he and Spike were shaking. He fumbled somehow managing to sneak his hand between their bodies and wrapped it around Spike's cock. Spike hissed in pleasure. Xander started to thrust harder and faster. Next thing they knew they were both howling their completion. Xander pulled out of Spike, rolled over onto an empty part of the mattress and wrapped an arm around Spike's waist.
Spike rolled over and looked at Xander who looked satisfied. "Did Saint Nick give you everything you wanted this year?"
"Depends," Xander said.
"On what, pet?" Spike asked.
Xander ran his hand over Spike's side. "Do I get to keep my present?"
"I think you've been a good enough boy this year," Spike said with a tired smile.
"I guess I better make sure I'm a good boy next year. I'd hate to have Santa take you back," Xander said with a chuckle.
Spike's eyes closed slowly. "I won't complain if you're a little bad."
"Merry Christmas, Spike," Xander said as he pulled Spike against him, Spike's head tucked under his chin.
"Merry Christmas, pet," Spike replied.
The End

The Sneaks
The Sneaks have more fun than you… well they sure look like it when they play their tongue-in-cheek rock and roll. They manage to pull off more ideas in a two minute song than many other bands manage in a whole career. The Music Mix's Richard Wain talked to James and Dan at the secret underground studio and rehearsal rooms in central Auckland just before The Sneaks took off on a farewell tour of New Zealand before taking on London.

Sounds like you need a typical ms solution, reboot, if problem continues, format your drive and reinstall.

The Classical Period 480 – 400 BCE "In the first place, the fifth century b.c. is one of the epochs in the history of art which have made the most important and fruitful conquests in the field of naturalism. Not merely is this true of the early classical style of the Olympia sculptures and the art of Myron; the whole century shows a joy in nature which, with some short pauses, is continually on the increase. It is precisely the fact that its impulse to be true to nature is almost as strong as its desire for proportion and order which distinguishes Greek classicism from the later classicist styles derived from it." Arnold Hauser, The Social History of Art, Volume 1
The Classical Period is one of the most important periods for its influence on later styles and periods of art. As we will see this period influenced the great Italian Renaissance sculptors Donatello and Michelangelo and the late 19 th century artist Rodin. Polykleitos was trained in the Severe Style and extended the concepts of that period creating even more fluidity in the movement. In the Classical Period the muscular development connecting torso to legs becomes more pronounced. It has been suggested that the athletes of the period actually developed this area rather than this being an invention of the sculptors.
The Doryphoros or Spear Bearer demonstrates the new ideals in regards to the beautiful in Greek art. Proportion and contrapposto become more subtle and, to create a more lyrical figure Polykleitos adds an interesting system of cross balances in the arms and legs. This system softens the absolute symmetry of the human body creating a contrast in the bodies contour on the left and right.
Praxiteles is one of the most important sculptors of the 4 th century BCE and his work demonstrates the changes that take place in Greek art of this period. In earlier periods the artists seem to have held to a common aesthetic but in the Classical Period the artists seem to develop more individual forms. Praxiteles continues the use of weight shift, contrapposto but adds to it the "S" curve. These three devices give the figure more grace and beauty Praxiteles – Hermes and Dionysos Ca. 340 BCE
The female nude was extremely rare until the 4 th century BCE. It has been said that Praxiteles was the first to sculpt the female nude. Kenneth Clarke wrote in his scholarly work, The Nude, "It is remarkable that in the female nude there is hardly a single formal idea of lasting value that was not originally discovered in the 4 th century." Knidos was the sacred island of Aphrodite (Aphrodite becomes Venus in Rome). Praxiteles created the cult idol for her temple on the island. As one entered the temple they would view the Goddess from behind as she steps into a ritual bath. Notice at the feet of Aphrodite there is a dolphin with Eros on its back. These are symbols of the goddess and we will see them again on the Roman Augustus of Primaporta. Venus de Medici (after Praxiteles)
Pliny, the Roman writer, said of Praxiteles' Aphrodite, it was " superior to all works of art, not only of Praxiteles, but indeed in the whole world. There is a tale that two male pilgrims went to Knidos to pay homage to the goddess of love. As they entered the temple they saw the statue of the goddess as we see her in the Venus de Medici. They were so taken with her beauty that they bribed the priest to allow them to come around so they might see her in her full glory. Another story about the beauty of Aphrodite concerns Phidias. Phidias had done a sculpture of the goddess and when it was seen a rumor spread through Athens that the model was as beautiful as Aphrodite. Heresy! Phidias was brought to trial before the all male senate. When it came time for his defense the model was brought in, Phidias removed the pin that held up her garment, the garment fell to the floor. Phidias was acquitted as she was truly as beautiful as the goddess.
We have here two more examples of Roman copies of the Aphrodite by Praxiteles. Not all copies are of quality. Notice the arm brought forward in the Aphrodite of Knidos, the proportional relationships are clumsy. This occurred during the restoration of the sculpture.
Crouching Aphrodite
Lysippos was the most renowned artist of the second half of the 4th century BCE. He was a sculptor for Alexander the Great. In his work we see a new set of proportions which makes the figure more slender and elegant. The differences are slight but profound.
Lysippos, Apoxyomenos ca. 330 BCE
This beautiful figure, Hermes tying his Sandals, has been attributed to Lysippos but the attribution has been challenged. The proportions are consistent with those stated in Lysippos canon. Michelangelo spoke of the sculpture being in the stone and that the task of the artist was to release it. In the Apoxymenos we see Lysippos moving the sculpted figure into the viewers space. Another innovation in the sculptors work is the introductions, as can be seen here, of a spiraling or twisting affect in his compositions.
Lysippos' Hercules at Rest, is found at the Archeological Museum in Naples, Italy. The museum is one of the great repositories of Classical (Greek and Roman) art. It and the great Capodimonte Museum make a trip to Naples very rewarding... then have a pizza. Naples is the birth place of the pizza. The emotion captured by Lysippos in this sculpture is astonishing. Through the formal devices used by artists to communicate Lysippos captures the exhaustion of this Classical giant. Hercules at Rest ca. 320 BCE
Hellenistic 323 – 31 BCE The Hellenistic Period begins with the death of Alexander the Great and ends with the defeat of Mark Anthony and Cleopatra at Actium. In the art of the period we see an expansion of subject matter from the young through the old. The figures are no longer idealized but are more naturalistic. Complex dramas also emerge in this period. In the Hellenistic Period Athens becomes less influential and power shifts to the cosmopolitan cities of the East.
Epigonos, Dying Gaul, ca. 230 – 220 BCE Dying Warrior, ca. 490 – 480 BCE Comparing these two sculptures is very interesting. The Dying Warrior is a product of the Archaic Period, the piece by Epigonos is an example of what is often called the Hellenistic Baroque style. The Dying Gaul shows the intense drama that characterizes many Hellenistic sculptures. The pose of the Dying Gaul, the realism of the face and the expression of total exhaustion creates a vividly theatrical piece which is the essence of the Hellenistic Baroque Style. As your text says, "The Hellenistic statues interact with their environment and appear as living, breathing, and intensely emotive human (or divine) presences." The Dying Warrior is more stylized adhering to the principles of the Archaic Period.
Nike of Samothrace ca. 190 BCE The Nike of Samothrace is one of the glories of the Hellenistic Baroque Style. As with some of the other sculptures of the period the compositions become complex. "The fountain's flowing water created the illusion of rushing waves dashing up against the prow of the ship. The statue's reflection in the shimmering water below accentuated the sense of lightness and movement. The sound of splashing water added an aural dimension to the visual drama. Art and nature were here combined in one of the most successful sculptures ever fashioned." This same aesthetic is seen in the great Italian Baroque artist, Bernini. Many of Bernin's most moving works use nature as an artistic tool.
One of the most beautiful aspects Of the "Winged Victory" is the sensitive play of the complex ins and outs of the contour. As the piece was to be seen from a distance the contour is extremely important.
Apollonius and Tauriskos, The Farnese Bull 2 nd century BCE The Farnese Bull was carved in the 2 nd century BCE. This "mountain of marble," as it has been called, was discovered in Rome in 1545. The narrative comes from Classical mythology. Dirce was tied to a bull as punishment for her ill treatment of Antiope.
