Giotto is the key figure of Western painting. His emphasis on solidly described figures and his exploration of a rational pictorial space set the course of European art for the next five hundred years. His achievement was celebrated by contemporaries from Dante and Petrarch to Boccaccio, who included a story about the artist in the Decameron (sixth day, fifth story). Vasari accords him the leading role in his famous Lives of the Artists, noting that he revived "the methods and outlines of good painting [that] had been buried for so many years . . .". He was in great demand and worked throughout Italy—Rome, Assisi, Rimini, Padua, Florence, Naples, Bologna, and Milan. His transformative impact on Italian art is due to the fact that in each place he worked he engaged local artists as assistants. Four main fresco cycles attributable to Giotto and assistants survive: that of the life of Saint Francis in the church of San Francesco, Assisi (the attribution and date were long disputed but it has been demonstrated that the cycle was begun under the reign of Nicholas IV, between 1288 and 1292, and completed by 1297; further cycles related to his presence there at later dates are in the lower church); the life of Christ in the Arena Chapel, Padua, one of the defining works of European Painting (completed by 1305); and two later fresco cycles in the church of Santa Croce, Florence. Each of these cycles has a distinctive character and reveals an artist who was constantly evolving. Giotto's towering genius was recognized as exceptional—if not unique—by his contemporaries, but the fact that—like Raphael two centuries later—he usually worked with a team of assistants and sometimes seems to have restricted his role to that of impresario, laying out the designs, has posed problems of interpretation for modern critics, wedded to the idea of "the master's hand."The MMA picture combines two events: the foreground shows the Adoration of the Magi while in the left background an angel announces the birth of Christ to two shepherds. It thus combines the narratives of the gospels of Matthew (2:1–12) and Luke (2:8–13). The Adoration is unusual, if not unique, in showing the oldest king kneeling, his crown set on the ground, and taking the Christ Child from the manger. Joseph, who holds the king's gift, looks on fixedly while the Virgin, depicted reclining on a mattress within the stable, wears a concerned expression. Next to Joseph are two black and one white sheep. The treatment of a canonical scene in terms of a human drama is typical of Giotto, and builds on his fresco cycle in the Arena Chapel in Padua. There, in the scene of the Adoration of the Shepherds, the Virgin is shown reclining on a mattress beneath the stable, turning to place her child in the manger. In the scene of the Adoration of the Magi she is depicted seated, flanked by two attendant angels, regally holding the Christ Child on her lap while in front of her the oldest king kneels to kiss the child. There is no known literary source for the features of the Museum's picture; however, a similar, humanizing, approach to the sacred story was promoted by devotional literature, such as the thirteenth-century Meditations on the Life of Christ, and was developed in liturgical dramas and mystery plays. These popular sources underscore one aspect of Giotto's pictorial revolution, which has often been linked to the populist ministry of the Franciscan order. No less characteristic of the pictorial revolution he promoted is the clear articulation of the space in three stepped tiers, with the shepherds shown as though standing on a notional, far side of the hill behind the stable. The roof of the stable is shown as though viewed from below and to the right. Of the two stars, that in front of the hill is a later addition.It has now been firmly established that the picture formed part of a series of seven scenes, all painted on a single, horizontal plank of wood, each scene separated from the adjacent one by a thin, vertical band of gold. Left to right, the series showed: The Nativity (MMA), the Presentation (Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston), the Last Supper and Crucifixion (Alte Pinakothek, Munich), the Entombment (Berenson Collection, Florence), the Descent into Limbo (Alte Pinakothek, Munich), and Pentecost (National Gallery, London). All scenes are the same size and the events follow in chronological order. A raised edge (or barb) on the left side of the first panel and the right side of the last demonstrate that an engaged frame once surrounded the series. Uniquely, the reverse of the MMA panel preserves intact part of its gesso preparation as well as a porphyry-colored, reddish paint and graffiti that possibly dates to the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries (see Additional Images). There is also the space where, originally, a vertical batten was affixed, attaching the plank to a more elaborate structure or frame. The scene of the Last Supper, in Munich, and the panels in the National Gallery, London, and in the Berenson Collection, Florence, also have traces of a vertical batten (though the paint has been scraped off). The gold leaf in all of the panels is on a green preparation rather than on the more usual red bole (the use of a green preparation for the gold is also found on panels from an altarpiece painted by Giotto for the chapel of Saint Stephen in the church of Santa Croce, Florence). That the reverse was painted and accessible (and thus vulnerable to being marked by graffiti) pretty much excludes that the series was incorporated into a piece of liturgical furniture, such as the sacristy cupboard panels by Taddeo Gaddi from Santa Croce, Florence (now divided among the Galleria dell'Accademia, Florence; the Alte Pinakothek, Munich; and the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin). More probably, the series formed a low dossal.Of notable importance is the omission from the series of key events that normally form part of a synoptic narrative, most conspicuously the Annunciation and the Resurrection. Such obvious omissions would seem to indicate a more theologically motivated selection. While the inclusion of the Epiphany, the Presentation, and Pentecost can be seen as emphasizing Christ's manifestation and ministry to the Gentiles, the trio of Passion scenes at the center underscores the theme of sacrifice—also present in the scene of the Presentation (the two pigeons required by Jewish law).The center scene of the Crucifixion includes a figure of Saint Francis kneeling to one side of the cross with, on the other side, a female and male donor. Given the presence of Saint Francis there can be no doubt that the series was painted for a Franciscan church. What church this might have been has been much discussed. Ghiberti states that Giotto painted four altarpieces in the church of Santa Croce and it has been proposed (Christiansen 1982) that the series could have served as an altarpiece for the Bardi Chapel, which was dedicated to Saint Francis and in which the figural style is related. Vasari also mentions a picture by Giotto with small figures (di piccolo figure) that had been brought from Borgo San Sepolcro to Arezzo and cut up; the pieces were subsequently acquired by a member of the Gondi family in Florence. The possibility that this unspecified work, conceivably for the church of San Francesco in San Sepolcro, might relate to the series has been proposed (Davies 1951 and Gordon 1989). Finally, a third proposal would have it that the scenes formed a dossal for the high altar of the church of San Francesco in Rimini, where we know Giotto worked and for which he (and/or his workshop) painted a monumental crucifix, still in the church. However, the further suggestion that the two donor figures in the Munich Crucifixion are identifiable with Malatesta di Verucchio and his wife or sister (Gordon 1989) can be excluded, for the male figure is clearly dressed in liturgical vestments (a green cope) while his female companion may be wearing the habit of a secular tertiary Franciscan. Concrete evidence for any of these suggestions is lacking and each one involves a different chronological placement for the series, which has been dated as early as ca. 1305 (D'Arcais 1995) but is more generally placed in the second or third decade of the century.Just as there is a variety of views regarding the dating of the series, so their attribution—whether they were entirely painted by Giotto or merely designed by the master and painted with workshop assistance—has been much discussed. Suffice it to say that Giotto's oeuvre has undergone much re-evaluation in the last few decades and that, today, it would generally be conceded that he painted a good deal more than Anglo-American scholars ascribed to him throughout most of the twentieth century. The most celebrated artist of his day, Giotto clearly had a highly organized workshop to deal with the many commissions he received. However, this series ranks among the finest produced in that shop and most scholars would ascribe to Giotto himself a large hand in the creation of these panels. The Metropolitan's panel is of exceptionally high quality.[Keith Christiansen 2014]

Burlington Magazine 131 (August 1989), pp. 524–31, figs. 1, 2 (x-ray), proves that the panels in the series come from a single poplar plank, arguing that they originally formed a horizontal altarpiece in dossal format, designed and partially executed by Giotto but completed by his workshop; dates this altarpiece between 1305 and 1317 and suggests that it may have been commissioned by Malatesta di Verucchio for the church of San Francesco in Rimini about 1311; notes that the Nativity and the Epiphany are frequently combined in Riminese painting of about 1330–40; transcribes a letter of 1807 in the archives of the Alte Pinakothek, Munich, stating that the series consisted of twelve panels, some depicting the Passion of Christ and others the life of the Virgin.

Dillian Gordon. The Italian Paintings Before 1400. London, 2011, pp. 233–39, figs. 5 (color), 12a (x-radiograph), dates the series to the 1310s; notes that recent microscopic examination of the male donor in the Munich panel of the Crucifixion confirms that he is tonsured and therefore a cleric; states that a list of paintings being exported from Rome by Stanislas Poniatowski in 1822 includes four items described as works of the Quattrocento, with subjects that correspond to the four panels from this series sold in the Poniatowski sale of 1839 [see Ref.

Paris, 2013, p. 55, fig. 33 (reconstruction, overall in color, x-radiograph), notes that the form excludes the possibility that it was painted for a Florentine church but has precedents in Umbria and that the painted reverse excludes the possibility that it was a predella.

text: According to the pilot, he was taking off on runway 04 (3,200 feet by 50 feet, gravel, down-sloping). The pilot stated that he leaned the mixture for altitude performance and added 20 degrees of flaps prior to the takeoff roll. "At mid-field the liftoff appeared normal" and the "airplane was beginning to become light on it's wheels and about to begin flying in ground effect." He said, "However, in the remaining 700 to 1,000 feet, at maximum acceleration, the aircraft appeared to be pushed back down to the ground. The pilot said he executed "emergency abort procedures which consisted of directing the aircraft toward bushes at the end of the runway to absorb the impact, pulling the fuel cut-off to stop the flow of fuel, and turning off the magnetos and ignition switch to reduce the chance of fire." The airplane impacted bushes and a fence at the departure end of the runway. Both wings were crushed aft. The left main landing gear was bent aft and the left horizontal stabilizer was bent up and aft. The pilot reported no anomalies with the airplane or its systems. Recorded temperatures in the area, at the time of the accident, ranged from 70 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit (F) with dew points of 44 to 46 degrees F. According to the pilot, the temperature at the airport was 51 degrees F. Density altitude ranges were calculated to be from 10,000 to 12,200 feet. The pilot stated that there was "10 to 15 knots of tailwind" during the takeoff.The airport runway slopes down 50 feet, and 40 foot trees are located at the end of the runway. The Cessna Pilot Operating Handbook for the accident airplane provides takeoff distance tables for short field takeoff procedures up to a pressure altitude of 8,000 feet. These procedures prescribe full throttle, mixture set at a placarded fuel flow, and 20 degrees of flaps prior to brake release on a paved, level, dry runway. For operations with tailwinds up to 10 knots, the takeoff distance is to be increased by 10 percent for each 2.5 knots. Extrapolation of the performance data shows a requirement of 3,200 to 3,300 feet takeoff distance to clear a 50 foot obstacle at the end of the runway.

Sandwiched by Tunisia on one side and Egypt on the other, and with the Arab world's longest sitting dictator, it was perhaps only a matter of time before the people of Libya got in on the protest craze sweeping the Middle East.
At least one person is dead and there are unconfirmed reports of more casualties as demonstrators across the country celebrate a "day of rage."
Amnesty International says a man was shot dead when security forces opened fire in the city of al-Bayda.
Police and protesters also clashed in Zentan and Benghazi, where one witness told the BBC at least 16 people are believed to have been killed.
This week's protests are the first in Libya, where dissent is rarely allowed.

County Executive Leopold and Community Leaders Sign Lease for Future Crofton Community Center
Land will be leased for $1 annually
Annapolis (August 12, 2009) - County Executive John R. Leopold today signed a lease agreement with the Crofton Regional Community Center Foundation Board of Directors that makes the future center a tenant of Anne Arundel County for $1 per year.
"This is a great partnership between government, the community and the private sector that will bring a much-needed amenity to the Crofton area," County Executive Leopold said. "Our young people need a place where they can gain a sense of ownership in order to make the right choices in life to benefit their neighborhoods. I look forward to seeing this dream become a reality."
The proposed facility, which would also serve as a great location for senior activities and the community at large, would be within walking distance of three elementary schools and Crofton Middle School. The foundation plans to apply for 501(c)3 status within this week, and take other stakeholders on a walk-through of the site in the near future. Although the group has been working for a year on the concept, the tragic death of Christopher Jones helped galvanize the community into action.
"Strict police enforcement is not the only answer to youth violence," County Executive Leopold said. "We also need to provide young adults with a structured environment where they can play and learn without violence."

The role of trimodality therapy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) continues to be defined. We hypothesized that imaging parameters on pre- and postradiation positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT) imaging are prognostic for outcome after preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT)/resection/consolidation chemotherapy and could help risk-stratify patients in clinical trials.We enrolled 13 patients on a prospective clinical trial of trimodality therapy for resectable locally advanced NSCLC. PET-CT was acquired for radiation planning and after 45 Gy. Gross tumor volume (GTV) and standardized uptake value were measured at pre- and post-CRT time points and correlated with nodal pathologic complete response, loco-regional and/or distant progression, and overall survival. In addition, we evaluated the performance of automatic deformable image registration (ADIR) software for volumetric response assessment.All patients responded with average total GTV reductions after 45 Gy of 43% (range: 27-64%). Pre- and post-CRT GTVs were highly correlated (R² = 0.9), and their respective median values divided the patients into the same two groups. ADIR measurements agreed closely with manually segmented post-CRT GTVs. Patients with GTV ? median (137 ml pre-CRT and 67 ml post-CRT) had 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) of 14% versus 75% for GTV less than median, a significant difference (p = 0.049). Pre- and post-CRT PET-standardized uptake value did not correlate significantly with pathologic complete response, PFS, or overall survival.Preoperative CRT with carboplatin/docetaxel/45 Gy resulted in excellent response rates. In this exploratory analysis, pre- and post-CRT GTV predicted PFS in trimodality therapy, consistent with our earlier studies in a broader cohort of NSCLC. ADIR seems robust enough for volumetric response assessment in clinical trials.

Heres my brewing partner, hard at work sanitizing for bottling day.
Half the time it is my pint glass, the other half my lady friend.
Horseballs... Lol.
For me personally, as a father of 3 kids, brewing is one of those sacred times when I don't want anyone bothering me. It keeps me sane, and I make better beer.
Beersmith and my kegerator.
Looking for a way to give and receive beer feedback using online BJCP score sheets?
Check out - http://onlinebeerscores.com/ and my blog at http://onlinebeerscores.com/blog
I brew double brew days most of the time. Morning brew is mine and gets bottled. Afternoon/evening brews swmbo brews with me most days, and that gets kegged.
Fermentation may have been a greater discovery than fire. David Rains Wallace
My wife's cousin. She is a biologist by training so find the yeast fascinating as well as the whole process and the chemistry behind it all. So far she's helped on 3 brews and It's wonderful having the extra set of hands. Also it's nice being able to talk about this stuff in depth as my wife is not a big fan of beer.
I'm a NOOB, I'm on my third batch, but my wife and my college age daughter are both a great help when sanitizing and bottling. They are both sticklers on cleanliness, temperature control, and filling the bottles to the exact right amount when filling. I credit them for my success with good batches and no bottle bombs so far, and being happy with a perfectly brewed 5% alcohol content ale.
If I was on my own, I'm be trying to make insane 8% alcohol content ales bottled in bottles with spiders and mud that would keep you on the can for three days afterwards LOL...
Your all much luckier than me! I have tried getting friends and family involved with no luck.... They all love to drink my beer though! I guess it will continue to be me and my year old cattle dog.

Police search for shooter in northwest Houston
Published On: Jun 18 2014 10:42:49 AM CDT
Police are searching for a gunman who shot a man at a northwest Houston apartment complex.
It happened Tuesday around 9:45 p.m. at the Amir Apartment II complex on Gulf Bank Road and Stream Side Drive.
According to Houston police, the two men knew each other and were drinking in the parking lot.
Then for unknown reasons the men got into an argument, and that is when police say one pulled out a gun and opened fire.

Watching the video of Obama´s introductory reception by the Cadet corps (BTW - that means the live ones present - it is "corps" not "corpse") I noticed that the handful of individuals who stood appeared to all be visitors, not cadets.In their positions as cadets the young men and women did not have the option of not attending, walking out or shouting "You lie!" as one congressman did at a state of the union address.The apparently unanimous statement by the body by their silence was eloquent and unmistakeable in its import.

this is the drivel you get when a president: (a) doesn´t believe the United States is a special nation/people; (b) we are the cause of virtually all of the world´s problems; (c) organizations like the United Nations are the real key to making the world "safe;" and (d) the US military is an instrument of evil, to be loathed, contained, and dismantled and/or neutered as much as possible.I served in the US military when Jimmy Carter was president, and I cannot tell you how bad the morale was under his sorry reign, especially after then 1980 Desert One debacle. I can only imagine what our professional military men and women must have to stomach in order to recognize this loser as their CIC. This man is without question the NUMBER ONE security threat to the United States, and I am not sure the next administration will be able to recover from the damage Zero has caused to our economy, military, prestige, and national morale. January 2017 cannot come soon enough for me: in the meantime, I will hunker down and grit my teeth.

#8 - I know nothing about the services, but I think I read somewhere that the C.I.C. should always return a salute, and I was wondering if when giving the young men and women their diplomas, that he did not return their salutes because he was upset by the reception he received. Tired today, but this kind of retaliation, if that what it is, is childish on his part, and is making all of us so weary of him (not that I ever was that much of a fan).Someone in his circle should give him a heads-up that the way he was received may have had a lot to do with his speech.

Obama doubles down yet again on his anti-American foreign policy. Especially his Muslim foreign policy. All in spite of the results to date in places like Libya, Egypt, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Russia, China, and other places.Our enemies shake their heads in amazement, and plan accordingly.This is a very dangerous time for America. Our troops and American interests are probably vulnerable in many places in the world. Attacks can come economically, militarily, and through terrorism.All thanks to Obama who is listening to critics and haters of America to form his foreign policy. The effects will be felt for decades.Hope America survives.

I thought it was a fine speech, in that it neatly summarized the confused, weak, blame America first concept of foreign policy he has.The only heartening thing was that the audience was largely unmoved by this sham and showed it.

Obama was completely out of his element yesterday at West Point. He was not talking to a gaggle of low information voters in Chicago but was talking to The Long Gray Line who know much more about American history and international affairs then Obama. It should not be surprising that the speech that Obama delivered, full of false choices and straw men that Obama knocked over to repudiate foreign policies that nobody with any go-power is advocating was not well received. If you want to experience a great West Point speech listen to General MacArthur´s fair well speech to the Corps of Cadets that is entitled Duty, Honor, Country. It is on Youtube.

#16, As much as we can fantasize over your suggestion, the young West Point graduates are not allowed that level of insubordination and breach of protocol. Many great men have occupied the office of President. The salute is for the office, not the disaster currently occupying it. I, however, as a private citizen, if I ever have the dubious fortune of sitting in one of his audiences may consider your idea.

Øbama is a unique piece of Americana. He is the first President with an Imperial mind set. He has almost exactly the same family background as Hitler and Stalin and Saddam Hussein. He also feels "special" as an agent anointed by the Gods to achieve his own personal salvation of the world. He is a cold, unfeeling man who will not go down lightly. He is spiteful, vengeful and narcissistic to a clinical level.He is a very long way from through with this nation. Only this coming election offers a glimmer of hope for America. He can be stopped. But only if we can take the Senate back in spades! (no pun intended!)

Basically, BarryO was telling these graduating Cadets, who´ve spent the last four years of their lives learning to be warriors, that they can get used to running meals-on-wheels programs and performing Muslim outreach.I remember the ROTC candidates that I knew in the late 60s during my university days. Some of them feared that the Vietnam conflict would end before they got a chance to get into it. These were young men descended from three, four or five generations of professional military men.

But with everybody healthy and playing, I feel that U.D. has officially pulled ahead of Beasley. His 20 minutes per game are his to lose right now. That end-of-game defense also is why they are back-to-back champions. They played that defense down the stretch vs. Brooklyn, but they were just too shorthanded, especially with LeBron James fouling out to win that game. -- Jeremy Hollywood.

Green on the outside, red on the inside, which means that EU greens will be actively working to stop all attempts for energy independence.Green Party had its origin in the discredited Communist Party, and its members will oppose retaining existing nuclear power plants while demanding a halt to drilling for nat gas in Europe. US greens are identical in their worship of a totalitarian society that promises utopia. Just this week our greens announced that Obama should not permit US energy companies from exporting LNG to Europe. Better to have Europe live under Russian rule than to provide clean and plentiful natural gas.

Blue Bomber Report Record: 7–11–0
Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
No contract offered to Clement: Bombers
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are denying that they have made a contract offer to Chase Clement, a former record-setting quarterback at Rice University who walked out on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in 2009, saying the CFL "wasn't the game I wanted to play."
While the Bombers have had discussions with Clement, team spokesman Darren Cameron said Tuesday morning that the 26-year-old NCAA record-holder has not worked out for the Bombers and has not been offered a contract.
The Bombers held workouts in the U.S. for three different quarterbacks last week and are known to be in discussions with at least two others, including Clement. But Cameron said none of the QBs has been made a contract offer and Bombers GM Joe Mack would have no formal comment on Clement or any of the other quarterbacks the team has had discussions with until one has been formally signed.
Joseph Duarte, the Rice University beat writer for the Houston Chronicle, tweeted Monday night that Clement "has an offer on the table from the CFL's Winnipeg Blue Bombers."
Clement has a bizarre history with the CFL. Signed to a two-year deal by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on June 2, 2009, Clement showed up for training camp and lasted a grand total of one practice in Hamilton before quitting on June 6, 2009 and returning home to Texas.
At the time, Clement told the Houston Chronicle's Jerome Solomon than the CFL just wasn't to his liking and he decided to return home after praying.
"I just did not feel like it was the best situation for me," Clement said about his two days in Hamilton. "I prayed about it and came to the conclusion it wasn't the place I needed to be.
"The rules there are different, the game is different; just not the game I grew up playing and loving. It wasn't the game I wanted to play."
Clement told the Chronicle at the time that he was leaving football behind and had taken a job with a financial services company.
But his retirement was short-lived, as Clement went on to play for the Las Vegas Locomotives of the UFL the following year. He worked out for the Houston Texans in late 2011 and also had workouts last winter with the San Francisco 49ers and Jacksonville Jaguars.
Clement and former Rice wide receiver Jarett Dillard hold the NCAA Division Divison I record for career touchdowns between a quarterback and receiver with 51 and Clement is also tied with former Heisman Trophy winner Matt Leinart for career NCAA touchdown passes with 99.

Parenting seminar at Adelphi University
Adelphi University's Institute for Parenting, Center for Health Innovation and Alice Brown Early Learning Center is offering two events focused on parenting spirited children.
"Spirited children are normal children who are more intense, sensitive, perceptive, persistent and energetic. It's as though they are born with a Lamborghini engine inside of them," said parent educator, Dr. Mary Sheedy Kurcinka, who will discuss the challenges of parenting spirited children during an event for parents and the community-at-large. "Research documents that parents of spirited children must be more skilled in order to help their children calm themselves and learn the skills to use their strengths in a positive manner," said Kurcinka, author of the book "Raising A Spirited Child."
At these seminars parents will learn that "they are not alone," that "their children possess traits we value in adults" and "strategies to help their children manage their intensity," Kurcinka said. Parents will also learn "how to build a relationship with their child that keeps them working with you even during the tough times."
LI'S BEST FOR KIDS: Places to play | Kids' classes | Parks | Birthdays
MORE: Day care finder | Playground search | 100 things to do with kids
CONNECT: Twitter | Facebook | Parent Talk
Kurcinka will lead an interactive discussion for parents during "Raising Your Spirited Child" on April 10 at 7 p.m. in the University's Ruth S. Harley University Center in the Thomas Dixon Lovely Ballroom, 1 South Ave., Garden City. Registration cost is $10 and free child care is available with advance registration.
The full-day professional development program "The Spirited Child: Helping Parents Learn the Secrets to Effective Discipline" is on April 11 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Alumni House, 154 Cambridge Ave., Garden City. Registration cost is $115.
