The Invention of Oil Painting
We are not accustomed in our world of art to sudden, breakthroughs so large that they instantly antiquate how we work and think as artists. Nothing as jolting as this has happened to our art since motion pictures took sole possession of the painter's storytelling role. And before that we must go back to the invention of photography itself to find such a telling breakthrough. Perhaps the greatest change ever in painting occurred about 1400 in the country known then as Flanders (part of Belgium). It was such an important invention (discovery?) that it was held for quite a number of years as something close to a state secret. History credits the van Eyck brothers, Huybrecht and Jan, as the inventors of oil painting.
To understand what a tremendous discovery pigmented linseed oil truly was its necessary to come to grips with the clumsy ways and means painters had to contend with previous to this breakthrough. There was fresco, of course, which was something of an improvement in picture-making over mosaic wall murals, from which it derived. Frescos were originally the poor-man's mosaic. However frescos were not portable. A painting to hang on the wall was first a flat piece of wood (no small task in this pre-plywood era). After the planks were painstakingly cut, planed, joined, and smoothed, they were covered with linen to which a mixture of plaster and rabbit skin glue was added (in several layers). The Italians called it gesso. This had to be sanded, smoothed, and polished (by apprentices) until it looked and felt like polished marble (and no doubt weighed almost as much). Over this was added an underpainting of green or brown pigment to which was then applied, layer after tedious layer of egg tempera, one of the most unforgiving painting mediums ever known to man. Of course I needn't recount canvas preparation or oil painting because we are all too familiar with that.
Unlike the painters of Italy who descended from mosaic artists, the Flemish painters came from a long line of manuscript illustrators, which gave them a whole different approach to painting. Use to working with coloured inks on paper, their painting style was tight, highly detailed, exquisitely jewel-like in overall effect. Their patented use of oils allowed them to explore photographic realism 400 years before photography was even invented. And they practically re-invented portrait painting. But the very portability that made oil painting so valuable also guaranteed that the news (indeed the paintings themselves) would quickly spread, first to Germany, then south to Italy where the Florentine artist Andrea del Castagno was accused of murdering his fellow artist, Domenico Veneziano (who had learned of this secret painting method) in order to keep it from becoming widespread in Florence and thus replacing his more traditional form of painting. (He was later found innocent).

November 30, 2013 | Shelby LatinoToday, November 30th, marks the end to the 2013 Atlantic Hurricane Season.

Summer food safety tips
By Jennifer Nelson, M.S., R.D. and Katherine Zeratsky, R.D.
1 comment posted
As the temperature rises, so does our excitement over picnics and grilling. Unfortunately, cases of foodborne illness rise too.
Most people know to keep potato salad cold. But there's more to food safety. Consider the following food for thought as you plan your summer outings.
Check the forecast. You know to refrigerate perishable food within two hours. But did you know that drops to one hour when the temperature is above 90 F (32 C)? Serve, eat and get food back in the cooler.
Come clean. If your picnic spot doesn't have clean running water, bring some with you. Bring wipes or sanitizing gel for surfaces and hands. Wash hands before food prep and after handling raw meats.
Keep your cool. Use an insulated cooler with ice, ice packs or partially frozen items to keep food at 40 F (4 C) or cooler.
Pack smart. Keep separate coolers for food and beverages. Chances are people will be in and out of the beverage cooler, which lets cold air escape. To keep food as cold as possible, keep that cooler closed until you're ready to cook. Pack meat in plastic and put it on the bottom of the cooler to prevent it from leaking on other foods. Pack two platters — one for raw meat and one for cooked meat.
Use a thermometer. Don't rely on the color of meat to judge when it's cooked enough. Use a food thermometer to check the temperature. Safe minimum temperatures are:
- 165 F (74 C) for any type of poultry
- 160 F (71 C) for ground meat other than poultry
- 145 F (63 C) for solid cuts, such as steaks, of meat or fish
Keep safety in mind as you pack your picnic cooler or fire up the grill.
To your health,

May I ask a question about the Mayo Clinic diet? I've read the , book, but perhaps I missed something. The plan provides recommended calorie caps -- for me, 1200 a day. It also says that people can eat unlimited amounts of fruits and vegetables, except for one chapter that says "virtually unlimited." How does unlimited or virtually unlimited (whatever that means) consumption of certain items fit together with a daily calorie cap? Do the calories in an apple, for instance, not count toward the 1200-calorie daily allowance?

Great dress! We renewed our wedding vows for our 25th anniversary on the beach in Grand Cayman. I was worried the dress was too youngish for me, but I think it was fine! Great material, we took photos on the beach, in the ocean AND the pool! I only went waist deep, did not want to get the beads wet. Rinsed the dress in water and light detergent, hung dry, and it came out like new! Very comfortable..I am plus size, and was very pleased with the fit!

Did you get a free bowl of soup with that hat?
U can't pull it off OP. Just return it now. Tell the chick at the store you had a temporary lapse of sanity. Less embarrassing than actually wanting to buy the hat.
I'm crushing it with this hat.
Funny story, though. The chick at the store said I had a week to return the hat. I paid for it, asked her to cut the tag off it, and I put it on. She stamped "FINAL SALE" on the receipt. I said, "But I can still return it inside of a week?" "Not any more. That's only if you haven't worn it."

Does anyone know where I could get a nylon bushing for a 1997 Encore Fiesta?
The car has no power steering. There are no physical effects on the driving. It is purely as my brother will be doing his driving test in the car and doesn't feel confident with the squeaking noise that it makes when he turns and the noise when the car is cruising.

Checked Baggage
When you travel on an Air Canada or Air Canada rouge flight or on an Air Canada Express flight operated by Jazz, Sky Regional, Air Georgian or Exploits Valley Air, your complimentary baggage allowance is determined by your fare, destination, date of travel and frequent flyer status.
The checked baggage allowance and charges displayed below apply to Air Canada, Air Canada rouge and Air Canada Express flights.

Checked baggage allowance
To view your checked baggage allowance, complete the information requested in the fields above.
Itineraries with an origin/ultimate destination in the U.S.
An ultimate destination in the U.S. is where the furthest ticketed point from origin is in the U.S., including where the furthest point is a stopover in the U.S. of 24 hours or more. See example
Where the itinerary includes an origin or ultimate destination in the U.S., the first marketing carrier will determine the baggage allowance and fee rules applicable to your itinerary and may opt to apply its own baggage rules or the rules of the most significant marketing carrier.
In itineraries where Air Canada is the first marketing carrier, Air Canada's baggage rules will apply. The carrier whose baggage rules will apply will be identified on your itinerary-receipt when booking on aircanada.com.
For the specific terms and conditions of any Air Canada codeshare partner or other airline sold on aircanada.com, visit the operating carrier's website directly.

Codeshare flights
Passengers who purchase travel on a codeshare flight or a flight with another airline may be subject to that other carrier's baggage policy and other rules.
Please note that if your baggage cannot be through-checked (i.e. if you must claim your baggage and recheck it with another airline for your onward connection), your baggage allowance may be subject to the rules of the airlines with which you check your baggage.
For the specific terms and conditions of any Air Canada codeshare partner or other airline sold on aircanada.com, visit the operating carrier's website directly.
Important: Passengers whose travel involves connecting flights on other carriers should enquire at the airport check-in counter whether they may check their bags to their final destination, or whether they must claim their luggage at the connection point and check it in again when connecting to another flight.

- A child restraint device (e.g. car seat) may be carried in checked baggage, over and above the regular allowance for an infant or child up to age 11.
When 2 free checked bags are allowed:
- A child restraint device (e.g. car seat) counts as one checked baggage item, unless an approved device is required onboard for seating an infant or child up to age 11 in his or her own paid seat.

when we went to Scotland earlier this year we did not buy a lot of the longer aged scotches because they were not in the tastings. so, we brought home a lot of 10 & 12 year stuff which honestly, we quite enjoy. one of the ones we really enjoyed (which was mentioned above) is Edradour. this is the smallest distillery in Scotland and they do NOT export to the US (we took the tour and they broke the sad news to us there). so i would suggest getting a bottle of that. btw, their cream whiskey is to DIE for. it's kind of like Bailey's but 100 times better. we brought home two bottles of that and are savoring it.
Edradour is located in Pitlochry.
as for a higher end - i bought my hubby Ardbeg Uigeadail for christmas (you can find it in some states but not here in PA) and it's FAB. very smooth. it's not yeared because it's a marrying of several of their different aged scotches and recasked in a sherry cask. it's not as peaty as the 10 year and has a wonderful, warm taste. i was honestly shocked that i enjoyed it b/c i'm not a fan of Ardbeg. the cost here in the US is $110 for a bottle.
i'm also a fan of Talisker (slight peat but not much) and it can be found in the US (at least the 10 year). that's around $50 a bottle
also if you like a lighter scotch, as someone else mentioned, Glenkinchie is a good route. on the sweet side and from what i can tell, it's hard to find here in the US.
btw, if you get a chance i suggest doing the Whiskey Experience in Edinburg (on the Royal Mile by the castle). it takes you through the process of how they make scotch, a nosing and also a tasting. they also have quite a large selection at their bar/gift shop. the bar gives you notes on how each tastes so you don't feel like you're just randomly picking something out of a hat.

Heather Caton (January 7, 2013) |
Helen Caton is being remembered for her giving nature.
"She liked helping people; she liked mothering people," said her husband, Robert Caton. "She was a loving, caring person. She had an impact on the lives of everyone she met."
Helen Caton died Friday at Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center in Johnstown after a series of strokes. She was 61.
The former Helen Nicola was a native of Burgettstown, Washington County. When she moved to Meyersdale after her marriage 34 years ago, she questioned what she was doing living in a small town, her son, Matt, said. She first worked at the Gallatin Bank and volunteered with Goodwill. When Tableland Services opened an office in Meyersdale, she became a caseworker for the agency. She then said she knew why she was in a small town: to help people in need.
"When she worked at the bank, retired people went to her for help in writing checks and things," Matt Caton said. "She was always an ear to pull on, a shoulder to cry on. She would buy what people needed. She was a lobbyist for working people. She said it was OK to tell people she came from a Hunkie background — her grandparents were from Poland — because it was in her background to feed people. You never left her presence hungry or dissatisfied."
Janet Will worked with Helen Caton at Tableland for 22 years.
"She was generous to a fault," Will said. "She would do anything for anybody. She will be greatly missed."
Meyersdale Borough Council President Martha Curran has been friends with Helen Caton since Curran and her husband, Bill, moved to Meyersdale 12 years ago.
"She did whatever she could for whoever needed help and it didn't matter about class status," Curran said. "She really cared about the people she worked with. She accepted me and accepted everyone else. She was very good to me and my family. When you went to her house she gave you whatever she had there to eat or she made something for you."
Matt Caton remembers his mother buying class rings for high school students whose parents couldn't afford them. He has been looking through family photo albums since his mother's death. To his surprise, about three-fourths of them are of children who aren't related to them but who were helped by his mother. No one can remember who gave her the nickname "Mother of Meyersdale." But her family was the top priority in her life.

What is the 95th percentile billing?
95th percentile billing is for higher-bandwidth customers, and reflects the way that we get charged for bandwidth. Rather than charge for total traffic, we get charged a per-mega*bit* rate (Mbit/s). This rate is calculated by taking 5-minute transfer rate readings throughout the month, then knocking off the top 5% of readings (i.e. hopefully all the spikes) and charging for the next highest rate on the list.
1Mb/s at a constant rate is 320GB, but you can still get charged for 1Mbit/s while transferring a lot less. As an extreme example: if you transferred 1Mbit/s for only 2 days in a month, only 25GB or so, then nothing for the rest it would still go over 5% of the month and thus incur a high charge relative to the total traffic.
Example graph
The graph below shows one of our customer's transfer graphs for a particular month. It shows a 95th percentile transfer rate of 306Kbit/s (kilobits per second):
As you can see, the customer's transfer rate actually peaked at nearly 800Kbit/s at one point in the month, but this is disregarded for charging purposes as it falls outside of the 95th percentile, i.e. these transfers were in the peak 5% of the month, and are not chargeable.
The total data transferred is the area under the green graph, which amounts to 47.2GB in this case. There is no way to convert between Megabits and Gigabytes when talking in terms of 95th percentile, because it can vary. e.g. if you transferred 100Mbit/s solidly for 2 days in a month and 1Mbit/s for the rest of the time, the 95th percentile would be the full 100Mbit/s because it exceeded 5% of the charging period. However if you transfer 100Mbit/s solidly for 1 day in a month, and only 1Mb the rest of the time, the 95th percentile would be 1Mbit/s (1% of the previous cost) despite using only half the data.

Expect talent and emotion, but don't expect huge changes for So You Think You Can Dance Season 10. Although this is a landmark season for Fox's reality dance competition show, which kicks off its special two-night premiere Tuesday at 8/7c, executive producer Nigel Lythgoe doesn't want to mess with the winning formula that got them this far. "We don't need to [change]. The dancers bring the changes," he says. "The dancers are the ones that create the magic for this series, not the format. It's the talent. And again, this season, Season 10, the talent is magnificent."
It's unclear, therefore, whether So You Think You Can Dance will revert back to its usual two-night performance and elimination format or continue with the combined one-night format of Season 9. Similarly, Fox has yet to announce which all-stars will return to pair up with this season's lucky finalists. But focus on the format or familiar faces isn't what the show is all about, and former contestant, frequent all-star and first-time guest judge Stephen "tWitch" Boss sums up the emotional impact of the show. "You never get tired of falling in love with a new person and watching their growth through the weeks of going through a show," he says. "You can't beat that."Check out 10 things we can expect from So You Think You Can Dance's 10th season:

The story of the politically incorrect life of Barney Panofsky, who meets the love of his life at his wedding - and she is not the bride. A candid confessional, told from Barney's point of view, the film spans three decades and two continents, taking us through the different ?acts of his unusual history. There is his first wife, Clara, a flame-haired, flagrantly unfaithful free spirit with whom Barney briefly lives la vie de Boheme in Rome. The "Second Mrs. Panofsky" is a wealthy Jewish Princess who shops and talks incessantly, barely noticing that Barney is not listening. And it is at their lavish wedding that Barney meets, and starts pursuing, Miriam, his third wife, the mother of his two children, and his true love. With his father, Izzy as his sidekick, Barney takes us through the many highs, and a few too many lows, of his long and colorful life. Not only does Barney turn out to be a true romantic, he is also capable of all kinds of sneaky acts of gallantry, generosity, and goodness when we – and he least expect it. His is a gloriously full life, played out on a grand scale. And, at its center stands an unlikely hero – the unforgettable Barney Panofsky.

text: Home Politics Is This the End of Stop and Frisk? The ruling in favor of NYC residents who say their rights are violated by the police practice is a start. By: Edward Wyckoff Williams Posted: Jan. 11 2013 12:10 AM 0 Stop-and-frisk protest in the Bronx, N.Y., in 2012. (Mario Tama/Getty Images) (The Root) -- New York City's stop-and-frisk program has exploded by 600 percent under Mayor Michael Bloomberg -- garnering outrage from critics who believe that the practice forces black and Latino residents to live under a separate-and-unequal police state, subject to random violations of their Fourth Amendment constitutional right against unreasonable search and seizure. Though originally intended to curb gun violence, the program has become carte blanche for New York Police Department officers to racially profile young males in predominantly black and Latino neighborhoods. With the help of the New York Civil Liberties Union, city residents sued the NYPD -- seeking justice from those sworn to protect and defend them. In a case specifically focused on the Trespass Affidavit Program, or TAP, which allowed officers to stop and question residents both inside and outside private property (in residences dubbed "clean halls" buildings), plaintiffs argued that the NYPD "has a widespread practice of making unlawful stops on suspicion of trespass." The lead plaintiff, Jaenean Ligon, filed suit after her 17-year-old son was stopped for no reason outside his apartment building during a trip to the store to purchase ketchup. Yes, ketchup. This week, U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin issued an injunction prohibiting NYPD officers from engaging in stop and frisk outside buildings designated by TAP. The facts of the case reveal that patrolling officers never differentiated between potential criminals and citizens. Black and Latino residents were stopped on suspicion of being black and Latino alone. In addition to Ligon, other plaintiffs included Charles Bradley, a 51-year-old African-American security guard, who was arrested while visiting his fiancee in the Bronx. Bradley was stopped, frisked, transported to a police station, strip-searched and fingerprinted -- all while being asked questions about his potential involvement with guns and drugs. Abdullah Turner, 24, was arrested while waiting for a friend outside a Bronx apartment building. Turner questioned how he could possibly be "trespassing" if he was outside the building. In her injunction order, Scheindlin writes, "While it may be difficult to say where, precisely, to draw the line between constitutional and unconstitutional police encounters, such a line exists, and the NYPD has systematically crossed it." The New York Post, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, whose News Corp. holdings include the Fox News cable network and the Wall Street Journal, published a scathing editorial in response to the ruling, asking, "How much blood will federal Judge Shira Scheindlin have on her hands when she finishes dismantling the most effective anti-gun-violence program in urban America?" But the editorial writers missed the point entirely. Page 1 of 3 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre
