Following a strong junior season as the Big 10's second leading scorer at 18.5 ppg, Penn State's Talor Battle put his name in to make himself eligible for 2010 NBA Draft. After testing the waters and garnering little interest from NBA teams, Battle ultimately decided to return to Penn State for his senior season, where he'll look to help the Nittany Lions improve from a dismal 3-15 record in the Big Ten in 2009-2010, and also give himself one last chance to showcase his game for NBA scouts.
Battle played over 37 minutes per game last season, and the Nittany Lions relied heavily on his abilities on the offensive end. His biggest strength is clearly his shooting ability, which he utilizes to open up the rest of his game. Playing the point guard position with a scorer's mentality, Battle is able to create opportunities off the dribble for himself and others, as defenders are forced to honor the deep range and quick release on his jump shot. He is effective shooting off the catch and either direction off the dribble, and he's learned how to find ways to create space to get his shot off, despite his lack of height and the fact that he is the primary focus of opposing team's defense at Penn State. This would likely be much more difficult for him at the NBA level though, against taller, longer, more athletic defenders.
As we've mentioned before, Battle isn't a prototypical pass-first point guard, but he does display the ability and willingness to distribute the ball to the open man. And although he tends to force some turnovers when he gets into the lane on dribble penetration, he excels at finding his teammates on drive-and-kick situations, and he generally displays good decision making skills, as evidenced by a solid 1.79 to 1 assist to turnover ratio.
From a physical standpoint, Battle lacks the attributes that scouts like to see from an NBA point guard prospect. Standing at 5'11 with a decent frame, he doesn't possess the elite speed or explosiveness of most players his size that have been able to succeed at the NBA level. While he does display a fairly quick first step, which enables him to get into the lane off the dribble, his lack of size and great elevation often leads to poor decisions in traffic. He does display craftiness and sense of how to draw contract when attacking the basket, but he must learn to operate more efficiently in the lane.
Battle's lack of physical tools limits his effectiveness on the defensive end as well. His average lateral quickness often leads to getting beat by his man off the dribble, and his lack of size and length would surely be a bigger issue in the NBA, trying to contest shots and defend dribble penetration.
When evaluating Battle's prospects of playing in the NBA after this season, he is most likely a long-shot, due to the disadvantages he would face from a physical and athletic standpoint in the NBA at the point guard position. His top notch shooting ability and solid feel for the game should no doubt earn him some looks though, and at least give him the opportunity to make a nice living playing basketball overseas.
One of the more improved players in the country last year, Talor Battle capped off his impressive sophomore season by leading the Nittany Lions to an NIT Tournament Championship. This season, Battle will look to improve on his NBA draft prospects, and might start to generate some buzz if he can make similar strides with his game this season as he did last season.
While he isn't quite your prototypical pass-first point guard, Battle does a solid job distributing the ball, rarely over-dribbling, and finding a variety of ways to get it to his teammates. Many of his assists come off simply finding open shooters on the perimeter through good ball movement, but he also is good with drive-and-kicks, recognizing when defenses send early help on his drives and quickly dishing it back out to the perimeter. He doesn't create as many shots for his teammates once he gets in the lane, however, usually opting for his own shot and not showing the same vision and decision-making as he has in space.
On the pick-and-roll, Battle makes good reads and is patient in letting plays develop, but he struggles at times when teams trap him hard, as his size doesn't always allow him to see over or pass out of them. His passing is generally good out of pick-and-rolls, but he doesn't always do a good job creating scoring opportunities for himself, struggling to consistently hit pull-up jumpers coming off the screens.
As a shooter, Battle has great natural ability, showing NBA range and being able to hit a lot of tough shots, including a few game-winners and overtime-forcing shots last season, but he shows problems with his consistency, which is why his shooting percentages aren't that good. In terms of mechanics, Battle has a high and quick release and a very good base when he's spotting up in space, but things tend to break down when he's on the move and/or contested, leading to some bad misses and him not shooting up to his potential. Squaring his upper body to the basket, keeping his legs underneath him, staying on balance, and not letting his arm drift to the right are all things he could work on that would lead to him becoming a more consistent and efficient shooter.
In terms of attacking the basket, despite being undersized without much vertical explosiveness, Battle does a pretty good job finishing, due primarily to his creativity in the lane and his impressive array of floaters. He does struggle when the lane gets crowded, however, not having the size or separation to get off good shots when multiple defenders are contesting him.
With good but not great quickness for his size, Battle does a pretty good job getting past his man in isolation, making good use of changes of speed and direction along with a solid repertoire of advanced moves. He goes left just as frequently as he goes right, though he's much stronger to the right, showing a more aggressive and surer dribble. Again, though, Battle does a much better job in space than crowds, not having the elite athleticism to split double teams and weave through defenses with the ball.
Defensively, Battle shows a pretty good effort level, not letting up on his man and doing his best to contest shots, but his lateral quickness isn't great and his reflexes leave a bit to be desired, leading to him being beat a good amount on the perimeter. His lack of size and strength don't help things either, and it will only become more of a glaring issue at the next level, so Battle certainly has some work to do in this area.
Looking to the next level, Battle is at a disadvantage due to his height, and his lack of strength and elite athletic abilities don't help matters either. In addition, while he does have a well-rounded game and has shown nice signs of improvement in college, he doesn't have one outstanding ability that allows him to stand out, though his shooting could become that with more work. Becoming more consistent with his outside shot and working on his strength and explosiveness should both be priorities for Battle, but he'd likely need to make significant strides with his game to make a compelling argument for entering the draft this season.
Last season, Penn State went 15-16. This year, despite playing an admittedly favorable schedule, they are sitting on a 16-5 record, tied for fourth in the Big 10 conference standings. There are many reasons as to why the Nittany Lions are having a much better season, but the most significant is the development and improvement of point guard Talor Battle. He has improved in almost every statistical category and has transformed himself into the floor leader Penn State has desperately needed for the past couple seasons. Though his potential at the next level is somewhat limited, Battle should continue to develop into one of the nations top collegiate point guards in the coming years.
One impediment that stands in the way of Battles NBA future is his size. Standing 511, with a slight 160-pound frame, Battle is a solid three to four inches below the NBAs prototypical height for a point guard. Similarly, he lacks a tremendous wingspan and elite athleticism to make up for his lack of height. While he boasts good quickness and solid leaping ability, Battle should work on adding strength to his frame and maximizing his athletic potential.
Offensively, Battles most effective weapon is his perimeter jump-shot. Sporting a smooth shooting motion alongside excellent mechanics and a lightening quick release, he hits 41.2% of his 3-pointers, good for 14th amongst point guard prospects in our database. He has shown the ability to get his shot off in a variety of situations against many types of defenders, from a standstill and off of the dribble.
Battle is also an effective slasher, using his quick first step to get around his man and to the basket. The problem here, however, is that he is not a great finisher around the rim. While this is likely due to his subpar physical profile, the fact that he shoots a meager 46.7% on shots from inside of the arc is certainly cause for concern in terms of gauging his potential at the next level.
As a point guard, however, Battle shows a lot of promise, and has made great strides from his freshman to his sophomore year. While he still has room to grow and is more of a scoring point guard presently, he has shown far better poise this season, talking to his teammates and demanding the ball in the clutch. He has become very proficient on the drive and dish, using the threat of his slashing ability to draw defenders into the lane and open up his teammates around the perimeter.
An area in which he needs to improve, however, is his awareness, as sometimes he is forced into bad shots or turnovers because the shot clock is running down or he does not know where he is on the court. Improving his handle, particularly learning how to drive left (he goes almost strictly right), would certainly help him here. His awareness as a point guard should improve as he continues to play the position and, if this year is any indication, Battle will only get better.
Defensively, however, Battle has his work cut out for him in terms of his NBA potential. His lack of size and strength certainly hurt him, but so too does his lack of elite athleticism, particularly his average lateral quickness. Opposing point guards at the collegiate level are able to beat him off of the dribble with ease, and the competition only gets harder in the NBA. One area that he must improve on, however, is his awareness. He often finds himself out of position and late arriving to mark his man on the perimeter. He has quick hands, which helps him excel at picking slashers pockets, but he needs to work on moving his feet instead of reaching and committing fouls.
Players like Battle are difficult to project at the next level. His size and athleticism are certainly against him, but his point guard ability and sweet shooting stroke will surely win him fans should he improve throughout his collegiate career. Measuring out at a legitimate 511 is certainly necessary, but showing scouts that he possesses good defensive fundamentals certainly would not hurt either. Penn State is in the midst of one of their best seasons in years and they are no longer a surprise to the elite Big Ten teams. It is up to Battle to continue to elevate his level of play and to show that he is capable of taking this team to the next level, as nothing proves a point guards mettle more than actually winning games.

And We're Back!

With one convincing and lop-sided win, the Canucks bandwagon is full again.
Let's re-open the plans on the parade route.
Ok - I admit it. That MIGHT be jumping the gun a little.
But it's safe to assume that a little faith was restored to the soldiers in Canucks Army, with an all-around thrashing of the Montreal Canadiens last night. It's hard to find ANY flaw in last night's efforts. But I like to nitpick.
Roberto Luongo returned to form. The forwards were clearly running on all cylinders. The defence was largely solid. They were mostly disciplined as they were shorthanded only 4 times. So they did a lot correctly.
I would have been thoroughly impressedif they played a complete 60 minutes, instead of letting up for the first half of the second period. And I would have been thoroughly impressed if they could have been perfect on the penalty kill.
Unfortunately, we don't get to see what the next game will bring until Sunday, thanks to some dubious scheduling. But in the mean time, I think the parade should go down Robson... turn up Burrard... etc etc.

Cute, but....
"I LOVE Brooks shoes, they are just perfect. However I don't think I'd buy this specific pair again just because they run a little wider than normal along the lace area...but they're still super comfy and very well made. I get compliments on them all the time, so my nitpicking probably is just me being overly finicky. They're true to size and have very good grip when walking on trails and uneven terrain."

Most translations, with the exception of the NASB, translate τὸ ἀπολωλός as noun, "the lost." In contrast, the NASB translates τὸ ἀπολωλός as the participial phrase, "that which was lost."
Based on my research to date, ἀπολωλός parses out as verb/Perf/Active/Singular/Accus/Neuter/Substantive/Part. Yet, every English translation treats this as straight noun. Does anyone have any insight as to the reason?

One of the most extreme trails in Emery County was recently made safer. Members of the Utah Conservation Corps, volunteers from local OHV clubs, dedicated hunters, and forest service personnel have worked many hours to make the Rock Canyon trail a little safer for those who use it.
Rock Canyon is trail number 63 in the Arapeen Trail system. It is rated as Most Difficult due to the steep grades and its extremely rocky nature.
"It is among the few trails that lead directly from town to the mountain," said Bill Broadbear, forest service recreation manager. "Many people use this trail as direct access from their homes in Emery County to the Manti LaSal National Forest, so our main goal was to make it safer for the families who might use Rock Canyon. It is one of the most used trails for mountain access and we wanted to reduce the difficulty. Much of the funding to do this project came from a grant from the state motorized trail fund."
As a part of the project, Don Keele, Ferron resident and trail volunteer, operated the forest service trail cat to smooth out the trail. In many places, large rocks were in the trail and a hydraulic jack-hammer was used to break up the rocks and the trail cat was used to smooth the trail surface. "The trail is still difficult due to its steepness. We can't do anything about that but we were able to remove some of the large boulders," added Broadbear.
Dillon Larson, Elena Fikaris, Mills Davis and Danny Kramer of the Utah Conservation Corps shored up the steep sides of the trail with rock walls, where washouts were possible. In some places, the trail was very narrow due to erosion, and by placing rock walls along these portions of the trail, they hope to secure the trail for a long time.
Keele, along with his wife Bonnie, Joan Powell, Clayton Campbell, Bruce Wilson, Travis Gray, Mike Mills, Shawn Wilson, Cooper Pierce and Mark H Williams, installed the new cattle guard, fence and gate on May 6.
Other volunteers who helped with the rehabilitation of the trail in previous weeks are: Harold Strong, Irene Hancock, Dave Platt, and Ryan Hansen.
In addition to the work in Rock Canyon, Keele has operated the trail cat and completed some renovation on other trails in Emery County. He has worked on Fix-It Pass, Eva Conover road, Behind the Reef, Justensen Flat access and Cane Wash.

Who Are You? Chris Fanning, PR Associate
I'm a People Person.
I grew up in Geneva, NY and went to private school with the same 24 kids from ages 5 to 18. When I graduated from DeSales High School and my parents left me that first day at St. John Fisher College I think we hugged and I shouted "Call you tomorrow!". I was on my own.
I received a Service Scholarship through SJFC, which eventually led me to perform my 200 hours of community service a year at Writers & Books. I didn't know it at the time, but the connections I made that year would lead to my first job after college. I never left.
As the PR Associate at 740 University Ave I have had the pleasure of meeting some of the brightest people in the Public Relations field in Rochester. A small group of us meet once a month to discuss up coming events and what's new in the arts & cultural sphere. Though I am the youngest member of the group, I am proud to consider these "fellow People Persons" my friends.
Nothing makes me happier than getting the word out about an event and then seeing new faces come through our door. If All of Rochester Read the Same Book is no exception. Every March we orchestrate an entire months worth of book discussions, film screenings, and receptions focused around one book. We turn Rochester into one big book club.

At the intersection of Springdale Road and Watertown Road (near where Pewaukee, Brookfield and Waukesha converge) sits a small red restaurant named Andrea's Red Rooster. It is a restaurant that has been there for over 30 years, but has changed hands several times. The current owners, Dennis Barton and Tim Mussen, have owned it for approximately 10 years.
The restaurant is named after Andrea, Mussen's late daughter.
Andrea's Red Rooster is a small building that is divided into two parts - the bar area and the dining area. There is also a patio that is open during the warm weather months. It has the feel of a supper club and a sports bar all in one. There are many TVs throughout the bar and restaurant area, so game watching is certainly an option.
"We consider ourselves a pub and a restaurant," explained server manager Maggie Kriese. "It's very low key, very casual. All the servers are close and have all worked together before, so it has a family feel to it."
The food at Andrea's Red Rooster definitely leans toward comfort food and pub fare. Customer favorites include the Rooster Burger ($9.99), the Friday Fish Fry ($8.99 - $14.99) and for an appetizer the Haystack Onion Rings ($6.99.)
"During the week, lunches are very popular with a lot of business people from the area," Kriese said. "We're known for being a place to get a quick lunch for business meetings or if you just want to get out of the office. We do also have a kids' menu - we're very family oriented."
So whether you're looking for a weekday lunch, drinks after work, dinner with the family or a place to watch a game, Andrea's Red Rooster might be your spot.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Android update: latest news
Update: Marshmallow CM13 nightlies begin
Samsung Galaxy S3 owners with Sprint and AT&T have received an update to guard against the Stagefright exploit, but other major carriers are yet to issue a fix. Android Marshmallow will not officially be coming to the S3, but CyanogenMod 13, based on Marshmallow, is now available. Find out everything we know about the latest Samsung Galaxy S3 Android update below.
Highlight recent changes
Android Marshmallow on the Samsung Galaxy S3
Samsung does not have any plans to bring Android Marshmallow to the Samsung Galaxy S3, which should come as no surprise, given that the device didn't receive Lollipop, either.
An unofficial Marshmallow ROM has appeared through the XDA Developers forum, but its stability is questionable and updates are uncertain. We would recommend using it with caution.
CyanogenMod has started releasing its first CyanogenMod 13 updates, based on Android Marshmallow, to the i9300 model of the Samsung Galaxy S3. These are nightly builds, which means they are experimental versions of the software and likely to be sluggish and buggy. If you're not an experienced user of ROMs, it is best to wait for a stable build to appear, which might well take some time. If you're desperate for some Marshmallow on your S3, however, then give it a whirl.
Android Lollipop on the Samsung Galaxy S3
While the Samsung Galaxy S3 remains stranded on Android KitKat across the board, an update for Sprint customers bearing a security path for the Stagefright exploit brings devices up to version L710TVPU0AOH1 and should have been received by all Galaxy S3 handsets now. If you haven't been prompted to update already, go to Settings > About Phone > Software update to download the patch.
Though AT&T issued a security update for the S3 on August 18, updates from the other major US networks are still to come. We don't have an ETA yet, but we will update this page when we learn more.
Samsung has officially ruled out the possibility of a Samsung Galaxy S3 Android Lollipop update via Twitter. It's no surprise, given that the Galaxy S3 is now three years old, but those of you who were expecting the Galaxy S3 update on Sprint, Verizon, AT&T or T-Mobile will be disappointed.
@WesoLabeshnai We don't like to give out bad news Rohan but the Note 2 and the Galaxy S3 won't be receiving the Lollipop update.— Samsung Mobile UK (@SamsungMobileUK) July 4, 2015
There is a custom version of Android Lollipop available for the Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300), however, which you can download now.
How to install Android Lollipop on the Galaxy S3
Over at the XDA Developers forum, Android developers JustArchi and Moster2 have created a CyanogenMod 12.1 build based on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop for rooted Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) owners.
It's a work in progress, but all of the major device features are up and running, including Lollipop additions such as the Material Design aesthetic and lock screen notifications. If you'd like to install it in its current state, check out the CyanogenMod Wiki entry for the GT-I9300.
We'll let you know about any other Galaxy S3 Android Lollipop developments as we get them. For now, if you just want to pretend your S3 has Lollipop, find out how to get Android 5.0 Lollipop apps, UI and features on your phone without root.
Have you tried flashing a custom ROM on your Samsung Galaxy SIII? Let us know in the comments below.

I am new to Android platform - have been given an old S3 which I have managed to "soft brick" and fix thanks to lots of reading and you tube videos.
I have 4.3 on phone .
My problem is i cant get jbed to work - i get it installed but it stops working. I need to get a working version of Java and any working alternatives would be great.
Also should i change to 4.4 and if so where is the best place to start. Could i still install java
All help much appreciated from this android newbie - who is seriously considering replacing the iphone 5 with a android device!!!
Hi is there any updates for S3 I9301L?
I notice Android Phones will not up date on the OS like iPhone does on the iOS when it is just iPod for I still have my Samsung Galaxy S3 which don't up date no more since it just iPod like it did on my iPhone 4 after it was iPod since 2013
hey guys is it necessary to root my S3 before upgrading jelly bean to kitkat ??
Yup,you have to,,root 1st
hey guys is it necessary to root my S3 before upgrading jelly bean to kitkat ??
I have upgraded my Galaxy S3 to CM12.1 Android 5.1.1. Everything seems to work correctly but I can't connect to a PC (Windows 10) through a USB lead. The PC recognises that the phone is connected and tries loading the driver, but Device Manager reports it under Universal Serial Bus Controllers as "Unknown USB Device (Set Address Failed)". Any ideas?
Download Samsung keys on your computer it should have all the necessary drivers. Try changing to a different USB cable, the stock one works best if it is in good repair. Are you connected to a USB 2.0? Try to connect to a different port with USB 2.0 support.
Right via Kies app.,,goodluvk
Hi, I have installed android on my S3 i9300 and everything was working fine but bluetooth. Didnt worked. So I have to reinstall the original rom. It connected to my car but the sound was horrible. Anyone with the same problem?
I do have the same problem on my Galaxy S3 with the CM 11 Rom installed. To solve this, I need to switch my network from 3G to 2G.
Hope this will do the trick for you also.
So, you have installed android 4.4 kitkat and to solve the problem with bluetooth not working you switch the network from 3G to 2G?
So you will get less speed on internet but bluetooth working properly?
i have it installed with galaxy s3 running 5.1 for the last month it works good!
IS your bluetooth working properly?

This very lo-fat apple flan is scrumptious. You can serve it for Kiddush, but it
- 2 eggs -
- 1/2 cup cane sugar -
- 1 tsp vanilla -
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce -
- 2 Tbsp water, soy milk, or apple juice -
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour -
- 2 tsp baking powder -
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon -
- scant 1/2 tsp salt -
- 6 apples, peeled and sliced thinly -
- Optional Streusal -
- 1/3 cup brown sugar -
- 1 full tsp cinnamon -
- handful chopped almonds (optional) -
- Optional Glaze -
- 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar -
- 1 tsp water or pareve whipping cream -
- 1/4 tsp vanilla or 1/8 tsp almond flavoring -
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla until they are light. Add the applesauce and mix well. Add the water, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix just until combined. Spread half the batter in a thin layer in a 10-inch springform pan sprayed with oil or baking spray. Arrange half of the apple slices over the batter. Top with the remaining batter. Arrange the remaining apple slices on top.
If using a streusel topping, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts and sprinkle this evenly over the apples.
Bake for 40 minutes, or until done. Do not overbake. If you wish to glaze the cake, combine the glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Drizzle this over the cooled cake.
NOTE This cake freezes well. It actually becomes moister when frozen.
This recipe appeared in Mishpacha Magazine for Rosh Hashanah.

By George Will
WASHINGTON – Rodney Francis is insufficiently ambitious. The pastor of the Washington Tabernacle Baptist Church in St. Louis has entered the fray over guns, violence and humanity's fallen nature with a plan for a "buyback" of children's toy guns. And toy swords and other make-believe weapons. There is, however, a loophole in the pastor's panacea. He neglects the problem of ominously nibbled and menacingly brandished breakfast pastries.
Joshua Welch – a boy, wouldn't you know; no good can come of these turbulent creatures – who is 7, was suspended from second grade in Maryland's Anne Arundel County last week because of his "Pop-Tart pistol." While eating a rectangular fruit-filled sugary something – nutritionist Michelle Obama probably disapproves of it, and don't let Michael Bloomberg get started – Joshua tried biting it into the shape of a mountain, but decided it looked more like a gun. So with gender-specific perversity he did the natural thing. He said, "Bang, bang."
But is this really natural? Or is nature taking a back seat to nurture, yet again? Is Joshua's "bang, bang" a manifestation of some prompting in our defective social atmosphere, and therefore something society could and should stamp out?
While some might enjoy dogpaddling around in this deep philosophic water, Joshua's school, taking its cue from Hamlet, did not allow its resolve to be "sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought." More eager to act than to think, the school suspended Joshua and sent a letter to all the pupils' parents, urging them to discuss the "incident" – which the school includes in the category "classroom disruptions" – with their children "in a manner you deem most appropriate."
Ah, yes. The all-purpose adjective "appropriate." The letter said "one of our students used food to make inappropriate gestures" and although "no physical threats were made and no one was harmed" the code of student conduct stipulates "appropriate consequences." The letter, suffused with the therapeutic ethic, suggested that parents help their children "share their feelings" about all this. It also said the school counselor is available, presumably to cope with Post-Pastry Trauma Syndrome.
By now, Americans may be numb to such imbecilities committed by the government institutions to which they entrust their children for instruction. Nothing surprises after that 5-year-old Pennsylvania girl was labeled a "terroristic threat," suspended from school and ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation because she talked about shooting herself and others with her Hello Kitty gun that shoots bubbles. But looking on the bright side, perhaps we should welcome these multiplying episodes as tutorials about the nature of the regulatory state that swaddles us ever more snuggly with its caring …

I use Opera because IE sucks.
I use Firefox. Nevered tried opera before is it any good.
Firefox FTW! Btw, I have only used Opera on the DS Lite. What are it strengths and weaknesses? Why do you guys use it? Thanks.
Firefox is the best in my opinion, I've used Opera in the past and just never liked how it was set up.
Also anyone who seriously users Internet Explorer version 6 or 7 really needs to be slapped.
It's just the Metroid series remade for the Xbox crowd.
However Samus Aran is now some unknown low ranking military personal.
Also the space pirates worship some giant doomsday hula hoop machine.

Virgin Blue Launches 'Premium Economy'20/02/2008
Virgin Blue Airlines today announced its new top end "Premium Economy" product is now on sale and will be comprehensively launched across the Australian domestic network for travel from 15 March 2008 with Sydney-Canberra as the first route of the day.
The airline confirmed late last year at its Annual General Meeting it would introduce its latest product innovation aimed at catering to the premium end of the travel market.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey said, "One of the major benefits of Premium Economy, particularly for the business traveller, is that it provides a streamlined and hassle-free way to travel. Not only do they get Priority Check-in and all the other additional benefits such as more personal space, Premium seating is at the front of the aircraft which means they can make a quick exit when they land to get on with the rest of their day."
The first three rows of the airline's Boeing aircraft will be fitted with red leather Recaro seats and both the Boeing and EMBRAER aircraft will offer the new Premium Economy product.
Over the past three months, the Boeing aircraft have been fitted with the Recaro seating with 70% of the fleet currently fitted and the entire fleet to be fitted in time for launch on March 15.
The introduction of a domestic premium product is a reflection of the airline's ongoing New World Carrier strategy which is aimed at catering to the needs of contemporary business travellers.
Premium Economy is now on sale across the entire network and is competitively priced to reflect the range of product inclusions on a route by route basis. As a sample:
Sydney-Melbourne Premium Economy fare $389* one way on the internet
Canberra-Sydney Premium Economy fare $269* one way on the internet
Brisbane-Sydney Premium Economy fare $399* one way on the internet
Melbourne-Brisbane Premium Economy fare $599* one way on the internet
Adelaide-Sydney Premium Economy fare $499* one way on the internet
The Premium Economy seats can be smoothly and quickly converted to offer a maximum of 12 premier seats or Virgin Blue's standard 3 x 3 seat configuration on the Boeing jets.
Premium Economy will offer:
2 x 2 seating compared to the current 3 x 3 seating on all Boeing aircraft
Comfortable leather seating with additional leg room through an increased seat pitch of at least 34 inches* as well as increased seat width, translating to increased personal space and comfort. The middle seat on the Boeing is transformed into a personal cocktail table for refreshments leaving the highly desirable window and aisle seats available for Premium Economy Guests
* A minor percentage of seats are at 33 inches
Priority Check-in (or web-check in & Kiosk Check-in for those who prefer this efficient means of checking themselves in)
Priority Boarding
Increased checked baggage allowance of 32 kg
Complimentary access to The Lounge facilities in primary ports of Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney
Fully Flexible and fully refundable fares.
Virgin Blue's existing Blue Zone seating featuring additional leg room in the over wing emergency exits will remain, however the first row of the aircraft will become a Premium Economy seat option so will no longer be available as Blue Zone.
* Standard terms and conditions apply
Multi award winning airline Virgin Blue and international carriers Pacific Blue and Polynesian Blue currently operate a fleet of 60 modern Boeing 737 and Embraer E-Jet aircraft flying to 24 Australian and eight international destinations including New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu and the Cook Islands. Virgin Blue was the first airline in the world to launch a Government-certified carbon offset program, where Guests can offset the carbon emissions from their flights. Virgin Blue Group has also announced plans to launch Australia's newest international airline, V Australia, set to commence flights between Australia and the USA from late 2008, subject to regulatory approvals

Shion explains to Emma that she is cursed with the Ekidona, a mysterious magic that happens every 500 years where a girl is born with her heart packed with such powerful dark magic that it has the potential to destroy the world. With such power, one could rule the world, and Shion explains to Emma that people are going to try and hunt her down to get her heart. However, Emma is told that there exists a ritual that will rid her of the Ekidona curse but doing so will require a long and arduous process. The first of that being Emma and Shion will have to marry each other.

Slide RulesIndex by Makers & Retailers
Hundreds of companies around the world were involved in the production of slide rules from the 18th to the 20th centuries. Click on one of the names below to see the objects in this collection that were associated with that firm.
"Slide Rules - Index by Makers & Retailers" showing 241 items.

Nuclear Bomb Effects Computer
- Description
- This circular slide rule describes the effects of a nuclear explosion on people. After World War II, scientists at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory prepared a report on forms of damage associated with the explosion of atomic bombs. These included physical damage, fire and heat, and nuclear radiation.
- With the development of the more powerful hydrogen bomb, physical chemist Samuel Glasstone and his associates prepared an updated report, and published it under the title The Effects of Nuclear Weapons. This information was distributed for use in planning against possible nuclear attack.
- From 1962 onward, copies of The Effects of Nuclear Weapons had a pocket containing a Nuclear Bomb Effects Computer. Setting the indices on the front of the instrument for the yield of a nuclear bomb in megatons and the distance of its explosion in miles, scales on the front of the instrument describe changes in atmospheric pressure and winds associated with the blast, as well as cratering and the velocity of window glass.
- Charts on the back indicate the initial nuclear radiation and the thermal radiation. Tables indicate the probable medical effects of various doses of radiation, from no illness to severe burns to death. The Nuclear Bomb Effects Computer was developed at the Lovelace Foundation in Albuqueque, New Mexico, for the United States Atomic Energy Commission.

|adidas adizero Feather III Men's Shoe Scores
|Arch Support
|Foot Support/Stability
|Overall Sole Durability
|Toe Durability
The Feather shoe line from adidas continues to improve with the introduction of the adizero Feather III, which may be the best Feather yet. The Feather III addresses some of the biggest criticisms of the Feather II. First, the upper of the Feather III is a bit stiffer and wraps over the foot. This provides a more glove-like fit and better support and stability for aggressive movements. Second, the outsole held up really well throughout the playtest, surprising us with its durability. The improved fit and durability combine with the light, fast feel to create one of the best speed-oriented shoes on the market. While the design of the tongue caused some problems for our playtesters, the Feather III quickly earned their praise. Players looking for a lightweight, low-profile performance shoe need to give this one a try!
We found the Feather III to be comfortable and ready to go from the moment we took it out of the box. Chris felt the the slightly narrower fit worked better for him than the fit of past versions, although he did have an issue with the design of the tongue piece. He explained, "I liked the fit and feel of these shoes. They were a better fit for me compared to the previous version, which was a tad too wide for me. While this version felt like a solid medium width, it was narrower than its predecessor. The shoe held my foot better and made it a more comfortable ride thanks to there being less sliding around inside the shoe. As before, I liked the level of cushioning. I felt low enough to the ground to move confidently, yet there was ample cushioning to protect my feet from the hard courts. The uppers also felt comfortable, and I could play in them without having to worry about breaking them in. I liked the way the uppers flexed and moved with my feet. One downside I had was the ultra thin tongue. It did little to protect my feet from the lace system. If I tried to tie my laces tightly there was uncomfortable pressure from the laces and eyelets. I never had any poking or pinching from any other part of the shoe, but the thin tongue was a definite comfort issue. My other downside was some arch pain, but I'll get to that later."
Like Chris, Andy didn't like the design of the tongue, but he felt the shoe was very comfortable. He offered, "This shoe is comfortable because of the fit and feel, not from any plush cushioning. It's low-profile in design, so you're not going to get the pillowy soft cushioning that's in some heavier shoes. What you are going to get is a natural, comfortable fit that conforms to your foot nicely and makes you feel like you don't have a whole lot of shoe on your foot. My one issue is with the really thin tongue, which got bunched up at times inside the shoe during play."
Like getting into a fine sports car, Mark felt fast and race-ready once he got himself laced into the sleek Feather III. He said, "Once I was inside the shoe the comfort level was more than sufficient. The new Feather III is a shoe that formed to my feet snugly. As always, I was a little concerned about a seam or an overlap of material inside the shoe that would pinch an area of my foot, but I did not have that issue with this shoe. The only drawback was the tongue of the Feather III, which required me to physically stretch it across the top of my foot evenly."
Austin appreciated the lightweight design of the shoe. He said, "The Feather III did not require a break-in period, and it felt the same from the moment I first tried it on to the end of 20 hours of play. It's a lightweight shoe with minimal material in the uppers, and it didn't have very much cushioning, but this did not give me any trouble. I found myself wearing it both on and off the court because the shoe formed to my foot so well."
Exceptional breathability has become a staple of the Feather shoe line, and the Feather III has continued that tradition. Austin gave the shoe top marks for ventilation, saying, "The shoe breathes extremely well, and I can really feel the air through the shoe just walking around. I never felt like my feet were too hot, and I would definitely recommend them for anyone who want a lot of ventilation."
"The Feather III has top level ventilation," Mark reiterated. "There is always a slight compromise between a well-ventilated shoe and a very stable one, but adidas blended these two important qualities beautifully."
Chris agreed that the Feather III is one of the better ventilated shoes on the market. He said, "While perhaps not quite as breathable as the CC Feather II, this shoe offers ample ventilation. My feet never got hot in them. There seemed to be ample airflow while I was running around, as well as vents to let the heat out. Those looking for cooler feet will find these shoes hard to beat."
Andy compared it to a previous version, saying, "The Feather III sits between the previous CC Feather II and the Feather II when it comes to breathability. It doesn't have the spectacular ventilation that the CC version had, but it has more than the full synthetic upper version. I never felt like the shoe ran hot, but it did retain a bit of moisture, especially on hotter days."
Our playtesters had few issues with the arch support in the Feather III. Even Mark, who has had fit issues with some adidas shoes in the past, found these to work fine. He said, "I have a middle of the road foot type in terms of width and arch height. From my first hitting session with the Feather IIIs I could tell that the arch support worked well for me. I have had some trouble in the past with the location of the arch support in some adidas tennis shoes, but not with this one."
Austin had no issues either. He offered, "The shoes felt great right out of the box, and my arches felt very supported. I have no complaints at all in terms of arch support."
Andy only felt a bit of arch pain if he wore the shoe all day. He explained, "I felt the shoe had a low-to-medium height arch that for the most part worked well for me. There were a couple of instances when I would've liked a little more support through the arch, especially when I spent some long hours on court in this shoe. However, it never struck me as uncomfortable or unsupportive."
Chris had to switch to an after-market insole after feeling some discomfort in his high-arched feet. He explained, "The arch support never felt as solid in this update as it did in the previous two versions. The chassis seemed to be more flexible and allowed too much twisting under my arches. When I was transitioning from an aggressive lateral plant to a forward sprint I was feeling too much strain in my arches. I replaced the stock insoles with a Superfeet insole that features a stiff midfoot shank, and it immediately remedied the problem. With just that little bit of extra support I was good to go and had no further arch issues. However, I didn't have to take such steps with previous versions of the shoe, and I was disappointed with the stock arch support offered here."
A couple of our testers felt that they would benefit from a little more support, but for the most part the Feather III had exceptional stability that allowed our team to move fast with confidence. Mark liked how this shoe stacks up, even against shoes that are built to be heavier and more stable. He said, "adidas did a fantastic job keeping this shoe's upper very firm while still letting it move and breathe easily. The heel cup definitely has something to do with how confident I was on quick stops and directional changes."
Once again, Austin had no issues and gave the shoe very high marks for stability. He explained, "The Feather III was excellent for both foot support and stability. The uppers seem to wrap around the front of your foot in a glove-like fashion so that it feels very locked in. It is a lightweight shoe, but the upper materials and the heel cup work together to keep your foot locked into place. I felt extremely stable and confident while playing in them."
Chris liked how the upper of the shoe and the heel cup locked in his foot, but he wished for a little more rigidity at times. He said, "The uppers of this version held my feet much better. The fit felt closer to medium, and that meant I was sliding around less inside the shoes on quick lateral stops. My heels felt locked in, and I liked the way the shoes narrowed at the heel. The Sprintweb material provided a perfect blend of comfort and support. When I was changing directions I could feel the material give a little before offering the support I needed to control my movement. Again, the chassis of the Feather III was more flexible in this version. While it made them feel very fast, I would have like some additional stability from the guts of the shoe."
Andy felt completely confident moving around at top speed, but after a while on the court the lack of support made his feet ache a bit. He offered, "I wish I could separate these into two different categories. The low-to-the-ground feel, along with the supportive cage that wraps the forefoot, helped lock in my foot and provided more than enough stability. I could move at top speed without ever feeling like the shoe was going to give out on me. On the other hand, due to its lightweight design the support wasn't as good as the stability. It doesn't feel like there's a whole lot of shoe there when I'm wearing it, which for the most part is a good thing, but at times it left me wanting a little more support."
Durability was one of the nice surprises of the Feather III, and there was very little outsole wear showing at the end of the playtest. Andy put these shoes to the test, and they passed with flying colors. He said, "I've logged some good hours in these shoes (probably close to 40 hours of play), and they are holding up great! There's actually very little wear on the outsole, and I think there's plenty of life left. The durability is improved over previous versions, and it was very impressive considering how lightweight the shoe is."
Chris, who tends to be rough on his shoes, couldn't wear these down. He offered, "For such a light and fast shoe, the Feather III proved much more durable than expected. They lasted longer then the six-month guaranteed Nike Lunar Ballistec I just tested. While they are nothing like Barricade durable, they have lasted me longer than most speed shoes. The outsole is still in exceptional condition, which is surprising considering the amount of hours I have on them and how tough I tend to be on shoes."
Austin concurred, saying, "I was pleasantly surprised by the durability of the shoe. I thought that the lightweight construction would cause it to lack in outsole durability, but I didn't notice any wear in the tread after 20 hours of play. The upper materials are also very durable. I didn't notice any signs of wear due to the fact that most of it is rubber. I would rank the Feather III at the top of the durability list for lightweight speed shoes."
Mark found the Feather III to be much more durable than previous versions of the Feather. He said, "I have yet to wear down the sole after 15 hours of play. I was able to grind down the last two iterations of the Feather in far less time, so this shoe was a step in the right direction."
Like the outsole, the toe area held up great throughout the playtest. Once again, Mark noted the improvement over previous versions. He said, "As I indicated in the overall durability comments, the last couple Feathers had a great 'lightweight shoe' storyline, but durability was a subplot at best. Not so with the latest version; the Feather III gets high marks for toe durability, especially for such a light shoe."
Austin doesn't drag his toes all that much, but he could appreciate the design of the shoe for those players who may require a bit more protection in that area. He offered, "I'm not much of a toe dragger and didn't notice any wear in the toe of the Feather III. There is a unique design in the toe that seems to keep it protected on top of the standard rubber. These designs work together to provide a very durable toe area that should hold up for those who tend to drag their toes while playing."
Chris really puts the toe durability of a shoe to the test, and these held up well for him. He did wear down one area of the upper, but not enough to affect the performance of the shoe. He explained, "Most of the toe is well protected on these shoes. The Sprintweb material is much thicker at the toe and joins with a beefy toe guard to offer ample protection. The only area where wear was an issue was on the lateral side of the forefoot of my left shoe. I have worn away quite a bit of the adiPRENE+ material there since there is nothing to protect it. However, this has not affected the performance of the shoe and the rest of the toe is in great shape."
Once again, the Feather III impressed our team with how well it gripped the hard courts. Chris was able to move with aplomb all over the court. He raved, "I really enjoyed the level of traction offered by this shoe. I felt confident sprinting around the court because I knew the shoe was going to give me enough grab to make an aggressive cut, yet not so much as to have me worrying about rolling an ankle. I found I could slide controllably out of a tough lateral cut, and it was easy to find the line between grip and give in this shoe. I only played on hard courts, but I found the level of traction to be top notch."
The traction worked great for Mark as well. He added, "The traction was top notch on the hard courts. I got just the right amount of slip without an unpredictable slide."
Austin was comfortable with the traction as well, and he always felt in control. He said, "I really liked the traction that the Feather III offered. I did not have any trouble with the shoe sliding out from under me while I was quickly switching directions, and there was a lot of support from the shoe when I was pushing off or recovering. The herringbone pattern allows the shoe to slide if needed, but it also grips the court well. I felt that the shoe was extremely reliable."
Echoing similar sentiments was Andy, although he had a couple instances of slippage. He explained, "For the most part I really liked the balance between give and grip that this outsole provided. I could slide aggressively on the hard courts, and I always knew I could grab the court at the last second to get back into the point. There were a couple instances when I started forward quickly for a drop shot and kind of 'spun my wheels,' but this didn't happen on a consistent basis; there were just a couple unexpected slips that prevent me from putting up a perfect score."
The Feather III received extraordinarily high marks for weight, and it certainly lived up to its name. "Most definitely one of the strengths of this shoe!" Andy exclaimed. "It feels super lightweight and low to the ground, which allowed me to feel as fast as possible. I can't recall many other shoes that have me feeling this quick and agile. They aren't as light as the previous version (the Feather II), but the added weight provides a little more support and stability that made me feel even more confident when moving around in them."
The lightweight feel was a big factor in making this one of Austin's go-to shoes. He raved, "The Feather III felt very low to the ground and low profile in design. Any shoe that weighs less than 14 ounces is very light for me, and this shoe is definitely lighter than that. The light weight made the shoe feel extremely quick on the court, and I found myself tracking down balls that I don't normally get to. Weight was not an issue at all, and the balance of weight and durability helped this shoe become one of my favorites."
It was a perfect score for Mark, who said, "I had to give the Feather III a '5' for being a lightweight high performance tennis shoe with many other positive attributes."
Chris also really appreciated the lightweight feel, but he felt the shoe could've used a little more weight and support. He explained, "The shoes never felt heavy or cumbersome, and I felt like I moved very well in them. The light feel combined nicely with the traction and flex to make this a very fast shoe. However, I would have happily accepted a little more weight if it provided some added stiffness to the chassis."
Chris - "I liked the style, traction, cushioning and medium width fit. The outsoles also held up better than expected."
Mark - "The traction, aesthetics, weight, and stability were all better than good. I confess that the color scheme of these shoes sparked a few conversations on the street and lots of downward glances (and not because I am so scary-looking). This shoe looked great, and the overall comparison I developed was to a sports car, which are not always the easiest cars to get into, but once you're in, you are gold."
Andy - "Great lightweight fit and feel. Plenty of stability for the most aggressive movers and a surprising level of durability. Very nice shoe!"
Austin - "I loved how the Feather III fit my foot like a glove, which allowed me to be very quick on the court. It also offered great durability."
Chris - "There was too much flex through the arch area, and the tongue was way too thin."
Mark - "I felt that the tongue's construction made it a challenge to get it to sit flush against the top of my foot because it is pretty thin. I am a patient guy, but if I was back in my junior tennis days I can imagine myself getting a bit flustered trying to get the fit just right."
Andy - "A little more support from the midsole would've made long hours on court a little easier, and the thin tongue kept getting bunched up inside the shoe during play."
Austin - "I really do not have any complaints other than it was a little hard to get the shoe on my foot and there was a slight lack of cushioning."
Chris - "I found this update to fit closer to medium width in the forefoot. The previous version was too wide for me, but this one fit much better. The first Feather had a thin tongue design made of a neoprene-like material. For the Feather II, adidas switched to a thicker, padded tongue, which was a huge improvement. I was sad to see the switch back to a thinner tongue on this third version because it simply does not protect the foot from the lace system. This shoe is right in there on the speed front with the likes of the Nike Vapor 9 Tour, Asics Gel Solution Speed and Wilson Rush Pro."
Mark - "The Feather III is a vast improvement over the prior iterations. They were all comfortable and light, but anyone who depends on foot speed would burn through the earlier models. adidas took all this to heart and developed a superior shoe. The Asics Solution Speed and the Nike Vapor 9 Tour are other high quality mentionables that target players looking for the lighter/supportive shoe option."
Andy - "This has been my favorite Feather yet! I think adidas did a great job making a lightweight, speed-oriented offering that doesn't sacrifice stability and durability. It performs somewhere between the CC Feather II and the standard Feather II in terms of support, stability and breathability. It also feels very similar to the Nike Zoom Breathe 2K12, another shoe I really liked."
Austin - "This is probably the best lightweight shoe available for tennis at this point in time. It is extremely lightweight, yet it offers durability that is comparable to heavier shoes. It fits like a glove and offers enough support and stability to make you feel extremely comfortable on the court. I would put this shoe in its own category because I really cannot compare it to any other shoe that I have played in."

West Nile 2012 Outbreak
West Nile 2012 Outbreak Update
West Nile Horse Vaccine Comparison
West Nile virus has been headlining the news this month. We're in the midst of the largest outbreak ever seen in the United States. So far this year, just over 1000 human cases have been reported, resulting in 41 deaths. Previous years have averaged less than 300 human cases at this point in the season. This is especially frightening because we are so early in the season. West Nile Virus typically peaks later in September.
Because people and horses acquire the disease from the same source of origin, the mosquito, there is great cause for concern in the equine population. As of August 14th, 77 cases of equine West Nile Virus had been reported this year. All of year 2011 accounted for 87 equine cases.
What to watch for in horses: West Nile Virus infects the central nervous system. Early signs include fever, depression, muscle twitching, hypersensitivity to stimulus, and loss of appetite. As it progresses, staggering gait and paralysis may develop. Inattention, daydreaming or staring off into space should be monitored, as this may reflect a change in mental status.
Vaccinating with an equine West Nile vaccine has been proven to have a significant impact in preventing the disease. The American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) recommends vaccinating all foals and horses against West Nile Virus. If your horse has never been vaccinated for West Nile Virus, you will need to give two doses, a few weeks apart (according to the label directions). The next year and every year after, you should follow up with a one dose booster shot to maintain immunity from the disease.
There are a number of equine West Nile vaccines to choose from. Some are specific to West Nile Virus only, while others combine it with protection against other diseases. Refer to our West Nile Virus vaccine chart for a simplified view of the options.
Stay safe, Lori H

Luca Signorelli (c. 1445 – 16 October 1523) was an Italian Renaissance painter who was noted in particular for his ability as a draughtsman and his use of foreshortening. His massive frescoes of the Last Judgment (1499–1503) in Orvieto Cathedral are considered his masterpiece.
He was born Luca d'Egidio di Ventura in Cortona, Tuscany (some sources call him Luca da Cortona). The precise date of his birth is uncertain; birth dates of 1441–1445 are proposed. He died in 1523 in Cortona, where he is buried. He was perhaps eighty-two years old. He is considered to be part of the Tuscan school, although he also worked extensively in Umbria and Rome.
His first impressions of art seem to be due to Perugia — the style of Benedetto Bonfigli, Fiorenzo di Lorenzo and Pinturicchio. Lazzaro Vasari, the great-grandfather of art historian Giorgio Vasari, was brother to Luca's mother; according to Giorgio Vasari he got Luca apprenticed to Piero della Francesca. In 1472 the young man was painting at Arezzo, and in 1474 at Città di Castello. He presented to Lorenzo de' Medici a picture which is probably the one named the School of Pan. Janet Ross and her husband Henry discovered the painting in Florence circa 1870 and subsequently sold it to the Kaiser Frederick Museum in Berlin. The painting was destroyed by allied bombs in WWII. The painting's subject is almost the same as that which he also painted on the wall of the Petrucci palace in Siena—the principal figures being Pan himself, Olympus, Echo, a man reclining on the ground and two listening shepherds.
He executed, moreover, various sacred pictures, showing a study of Botticelli and Lippo Lippi. Pope Sixtus IV commissioned Signorelli to paint some frescoes, now mostly very dim, in the shrine of Loreto—Angels, Doctors of the Church, Evangelists, Apostles, the Incredulity of Thomas and the Conversion of St Paul. He also executed a single fresco in the Sistine Chapel in Rome, the Testament and Death of Moses, although most of it has been attributed to Bartolomeo della Gatta; another, the Moses Leaving to Egypt, once ascribed to Signorelli, is now recognized as the work of Perugino and other assistants.
Signorelli worked in Rome from 1478 to 1484. In the latter year he returned to his native Cortona, which remained from this time his home. In the Monastery of Monte Oliveto Maggiore (Siena) he painted eight frescoes, forming part of a vast series of the life of St. Benedict; they are at present much injured. In the palace of Pandolfo Petrucci he worked upon various classic or mythological subjects, including the School of Pan already mentioned.
See also : Chapel of the Madonna di San Brizio
From the Monastery of Monte Oliveto Maggiore near Siena, Signorelli went to Orvieto, and produced his masterpiece, the frescoes in the chapel of S. Brizio (then called the Cappella Nuova), in the cathedral.
The Cappella Nuova already contained two groups of images in the vaulting over the altar, the Judging Christ and the Prophets, by Fra Angelico, who had begun the murals fifty years earlier. The works of Signorelli in the vaults and on the upper walls represent the events surrounding the Apocalypse and the Last Judgment. The events of the Apocalypse fill the space which surrounds the entrance into the large chapel.
The Apocalyptic events begin with the Preaching of Antichrist, and proceed to the Doomsday and The Resurrection of the Flesh. They occupy three vast lunettes, each of them a single continuous narrative composition. In one of them, Antichrist, after his portents and impious glories, falls headlong from the sky, crashing down into an innumerable crowd of men and women.
The events of the Last Judgment fill the facing vault and the walls around the altar: Paradise, the Elect and the Condemned, Hell, the Resurrection of the Dead, and the Destruction of the Reprobate.
To Angelico's ceiling, which contained the Judging Christ and the Prophets led by John the Baptist, Signorelli added the Madonna leading the Apostles, the Patriarchs, Doctors of the Church, Martyrs, and Virgins. The unifying factor of the paintings is found in the scripture readings in the Roman liturgies for the Feast of All Saints and Advent.
Stylistically, the daring and terrible inventions, with their powerful treatment of the nude and arduous foreshortenings, were striking in its day. Michelangelo is claimed to have borrowed, in his own fresco at the Sistine Chapel wall, some of Signorelli's figures or combinations. The decoration of the lower walls, unprecedented in the history of art, are richly decorated with a great deal of subsidiary work connected with Dante, specifically the first eleven books of his Purgatorio, and with the poets and legends of antiquity. A Pietà composition in a niche in the lower wall contains explicit references to two important Orvietan martyr saints, S. Pietro Parenzo and S. Faustino, in the centuries preceding the execution of the lunette paintings.
The contract for Signorelli's work is still on record in the archives of the Cathedral of Orvieto. He undertook on April 5, 1499 to complete the ceiling for 200 ducats, and to paint the walls for 600, along with lodging, and in every month two measures of wine and two quarters of corn. The contract directed Signorelli to consult the Masters of the Sacred Page for theological matters. This is the first such recorded instance of an artist receiving theological advice, although art historians believe the two groups routinely discussed such matters. Signorelli's first stay in Orvieto lasted not more than two years. In 1502 he returned to Cortona. He returned to Orvieto and continued the lower walls. He painted a dead Christ, with Mary Magdalen and the Virgin Mary and the martyrs local Saints Pietro Parenzo and Faustino.The figure of the dead Christ, according to Vasari, is the image of Signorelli's son Antonio, who died from the plague during the course of the execution of the paintings.
After finishing the frecoes at Orvieto, Signorelli was often in Siena. In 1507 he executed a great altarpiece for S. Medardo at Arcevia in the Marche, the Madonna and Child, with the Massacre of the Innocents and other episodes.
In 1508 Pope Julius II summoned artists to Rome, including Signorelli, Perugino, Pinturicchio and Il Sodoma to paint the large rooms in the Vatican Palace. They began work, but soon the pope dismissed all to make way for Raphael. Their work was taken down, except for the ceiling in the Stanza della Segnatura. Luca returned to Siena, but mostly lived in his hometown of Cortona. He was constantly at work, but the products of his closing years were not of the quality of his works from 1490–1505.
In 1520 Signorelli went with one of his pictures to Arezzo. He was partially paralysed when he began a fresco of the Baptism of Christ in the chapel of Cardinal Passerini's palace near Cortona, which (or else a Coronation of the Virgin at Foiano) is the last picture specified as his . Signorelli stood in great repute as a citizen; he entered the magistracy of Cortona as early as 1488, and held a leading position by 1524 when he died.
Signorelli paid great attention to anatomy. It is said that he carried on his studies in burial grounds. Certainly his mastery of the human form indicates that he had performed dissections. He surpassed contemporaries in showing the structure and mechanism of the nude in immediate action; and he even went beyond nature in experiments of this kind, trying hypothetical attitudes and combinations. His drawings in the Louvre demonstrate this and bear a close analogy to the method of Michelangelo. He aimed at powerful truth rather than nobility of form; colour was comparatively neglected, and his chiaroscuro exhibits sharp oppositions of lights and shadows. He had a vast influence over the painters of his own and of succeeding times, but had no pupils or assistants of high repute; one of them was a nephew named Francesco.
Vasari, who claimed Signorelli as a relative, described him as kindly, and a family man, and said that he always lived more like a nobleman than a painter. Vasari included Signorelli's portrait, one of seven, in his study in Arezzo, along with Michelangelo and himself. The Torrigiani Gallery in Florence contains a grand life-sized portrait by Signorelli of a man in a red cap and vest, and corresponds with Vasari's observation. In the National Gallery, London, are the Circumcision of Jesus and three other works. Legend holds that Signorelli depicted himself in the left foreground of his Orvietan mural The Rule of Antichrist. Fra Angelico, his predecessor in the Orvieto cycle, is thought to stand behind him in the piece. However, the figure thought to be Fra Angelico is not dressed as a Dominican friar, and Signorelli's supposed portrait does not match that in Vasari's study.
The frescoes were the basis of Freud's Signorelli parapraxis.
