Register for MSLS 09
For those who have already signed up, I just have 2 pieces of advice for you. Firstly, keep an open mind. Try to interact with as many people as possible including other students. Don't try to just hobnob with the politicians or students who are from Oxford or Cambridge or one of the Ivy league schools. Cast your net wide. You'll learn more this way. Secondly, don't be afraid to ask questions especially those which you don't know the answers to. Don't be afraid to push the speakers especially in areas in which you think they may not feel comfortable to venture.

No Evidence Found in Thursday's Landfill Search
-->By: Laura Kellerman
Updated: January 21, 2011
The search included cadaver dogs. Searchers arrived at around 1:30 p.m. and left before 3 p.m. They combed over things that may have been missed the during their initial search of the landfills.
The first time the Colorado City landfill was searched was closer to the time Hailey went missing. To see aerial video of the landfill, click on the video player.
Colorado City city manager Pete Kampfer told bigcountryhomepage.com the investigation into Hailey's disappearance continues to have a criminal focus. After receiving 10 leads a day in the early part of the investigation, credible tips have now dwindled to 3-5 each day.
Dunn was last seen on Dec. 27 at her home in Colorado City. The reward for information leading to her safe return is now $15,000.

Germaine Fairchild
Phone Number: | (203) 582-5316 |
Email Address: | email@example.com |
Position: | Head Coach |
Alma Mater: | Tulsa '96 |
Germaine Fairchild enters her 13th year as head coach of the Quinnipiac University softball program. Fairchild has totaled a 276-322-1 record in her 12 years of coaching the Bobcats.
Last season, Coach Fairfield led the Bobcats to their third consecutive Northeast Conference Tournament and second consecutive trip to the Finals. The Bobcats closed out the regular season with a 32-18 record and 13-7 mark in conference play. The team entered the 2012 NEC Tournament as the No. 2 seed and advanced to the final round, defeating No. 4 Monmouth and No. 1 seeded Robert Morris along the way. Ultimately, the Bobcats fell to No. 3 LIU Brooklyn but closed the season with their second straight 30-win campaign and third straight with at least 25 wins.
Three players earned All-NEC accolades for their performances throughout the 2012 season as senior pitcher Heather Schwartzburg earned First Team honors while senior outfielder and junior shortstop Alex Alba claimed Second Team distinctions. Schwartzburg, Christy Cabrera and Ashley Heiberger also earned NEC All-Tournament Team honors under the guidance of Coach Fairchild following the 2012 postseason.
The 2011 season saw Coach Fairchild guide the Bobcats to their second consecutive Northeast Conference Tournament. Quinnipiac entered the 2011 NEC Tournament as the No. 3 seed and advanced to the final round of tournament play. However, due to poor weather conditions, the championship round was canceled and second-seeded Sacred Heart was crowned champion based on its undefeated, 2-0 record in tournament action.
The Bobcats ended the 2011 season with an overall record of 32-26 and a 13-7 mark in the league. Several members of the Quinnipiac squad received NEC honors, including Heather Schwartzburg, who was named the conference's Pitcher of the Year, while Ashley Heiberger picked up the Golden Glove Award and Jordan Paolucci received the NEC Rookie of the Year title. Schwartzburg and Paolucci were selected All-NEC first team, while Jacquie Ristow earned a spot on the All-NEC second team. Paolucci and Mina Duffy were also added to the 2011 All-Tournament team under the direction of Coach Fairchild.
Additionally, two Bobcats set new Quinnipiac records last year. Schwartzburg broke the QU single-season wins record and strikeout record, ending the season with 23 wins and 296 strikeouts. Paolucci broke the Quinnipiac single-season home run record with 15 in her rookie campaign.
Throughout her time at Quinnipiac, Fairchild has continued to demonstrate the Bobcats' program as one of the best in the Northeast, reaching the NEC Softball Tournament finals in the 2003 and 2004 seasons, as well. Fairchild has led the Bobcats to a total of six NEC Tournament appearances during 2003-05, 2007, and 2010-12. The 2003 club also set a program-high with 34 wins.
Also an accomplished player in her own right, Fairchild has played with the Georgia Pride of the Women's Professional Softball League and the Virginia Roadsters of the Women's Professional Fastpitch League. Most recently, she's played with the nationally known Connecticut Brakettes of the National Pro Fastpitch League, and won NPF Championships with the NY/NJ Juggernaut in 2004 and with the Washington Glory in 2007.
In 2008, Fairchild began the NPF season as a player-assistant coach with the New England Riptide, before taking over as the head coach in late June, and leading the Riptide to their fifth straight playoff appearance.
Fairchild is a '96 graduate of the University of Tulsa where she earned her bachelor's degree in Environmental Policy. She also received a master's degree in Kinesiology from Texas Woman's University.

Off-duty firefighter rescues woman from fast South Fork current near North Bend
February 4, 2013 · 2:26 PM
A 53-year-old woman was rescued Friday afternoon, Feb. 1, after she got caught up in the current of the South Fork of the Snoqualmie River. She was hanging on to a log when off-duty Snoqualmie firefighter Brian Busby reached her.
King County's marine unit was dispatched when a witness reported seeing a woman in the river near the Snoqualmie Golf Course.
Busby had been walking along the river when he heard her screaming for help. Busby is a swiftwater rescue volunteer, but he had no gear with him. He walked out to her on a downed tree and grabbed her by the backpack, holding on until more help came.
Rescuers estimate the woman was in the river for about 30 minutes. She was taken to an Issaquah hospital, and is expected to recover.
It's not clear how the woman ended up in the river, but authorities say she might have been trying to cross the river to a homeless encampment on the other side.

Hi everyone,
I'm not sure if haircuts and hairstyles are really considered a part of fashion, but I wasn't sure where else to post this. If I'm posting in the wrong group, please let me know. I'm looking for ideas for a short, somewhat easy to maintain haircut with a dieselpunk influence. I'd really like one that can go well with both very masculine and very feminine styles of clothing and accessories, because I like to wear both, depending on how I feel. I already have a pair of 1950s-influenced Rayban cat eye glasses, and am thinking of getting these glasses from Oakley for daily wear. I like military-influenced fashion a lot, and do a good portion of my shopping for wardrobe basics and accessories at military surplus stores.
I really like the "Unladylike" hairstyle from Fallout 3, but I'm not sure that I could pull this off or that it's very dieselpunk as opposed to just "punk".
Anyway, if anyone's got experience with short dieselpunk inspired hairstyles, I'd be very happy to get some advice! I'm trying to build up a nice everyday diesepunk look.
Thanks in advance!
If you want something low-maintenance, it depends on what your hair will do naturally.
For example, if I let my high-and-tight cut grow out, my hair forms curly ringlets like Gavin Rossdale's hair. This isn't very good for a mohawk, spikes, or anything that requires straight locks.
Also, from the glasses, I'm assuming you like more of a '40s - '50s look, right? Just like big bangs and mullets went out of style in the '80s, hairstyles changed a lot during the diesel-era.
Thanks for the reply, and for your advice!
Naturally, my hair isn't exactly curly, but it is wavy and pretty thick. I had a pixie cut about a year ago and could keep my hair fairly straight with a little bit of styling jell, which was low-maintenence enough for me.
I know the diesle-era covers a large timespan; I should have been more specific in my post. The 1940s is probably my favorite era, but I'm having some trouble finding short hairstyles that can look kind of...androgynous. I think most of the short hair for women during the 1940s involved up-dos, and the hairstyles for men were crew cuts; there doesn't seem to be an example of something that's kind of in the middle.
Yeah. Gender roles were pretty tight back then. Maybe just go with an updated haircut and have that be the "punk" in your dieselpunk look. For example, think poodle skirts matched with a devil lock. By themselves, pretty tame, but mash the look together and you get something new.

I got pregnant when I was 13. The guy I was with at the time was 15, and there was NO WAY he would be able to father my baby. So, I did something incredibly stupid. I aborted my baby BY MYSELF. I found this stupid "herbal abortion" on-line and I did it. It was the most pain I have ever felt. I still believe abortion was the best choice for me then, but I wish I had done it in a different, more safe way.
Ever since then I have felt urges to become pregnant again. I guess I felt like I needed to make up for the one I had aborted. I never told the daddy what had happened, I never told my parents, or my friends. I was very alone with my thoughts, and I think that is another reason I have never really settled the issues in my mind.
I also never went to the Gyno. I was afraid that at my first visit they would find something caused by the abortion. I was afraid I had made myself infertile. Well, now, being pregnant, I know I didn't cause infertility, but the things that could've happened still scare me. It was weird having my first gyno appt. because I was pregnant.
I just wanna tell any woman who is thinking about aborting that there is nothing wrong with that choice if it is the best choice for you. If, however, you do do it, do it CORRECTLY! There are MANY things that can go wrong if you try and do it yourself.
I still feel guilty, though. Wish these thoughts would go away.

Mrs Reding, vice- president of the European Commission and in charge of Justice affairs, addressed the ENCJ that gathered in Leuven on 11 October. She reiterrated the importance of knowledge and trust between judiciaries in the other European legal systems. Mutual trust must be earned and cannot be forced. Minimum procedural safeguards for suspets, and victims rights will build fairer and better justice systems in Europe. She called upon the ENCJ Members to join her in giving these policy areas the attention they need.

Mrs Justice Susan Denham has been appointed as new Chief Justice of Ireland. She made the constitutional declaration on July 25th , 2011 in the presence of President Mary McAleese, the Prime Minister Kenny, the Attorney General and the Minister for Justice. In a statement issued through the Courts Service, Mrs Denham said "the time has now come to develop a Judicial Council in Ireland, to support the Judiciary in their difficult task, whilst providing assurance to the public that all judges maintain our traditional high judicial standards."
As Chief Justice, Susan Denham will chair the Courts Service Board.
On 25th April, our President, Paul Gilligan, and Director, Monique Van der Goes, met with the EU Justice Commissioner and Vice President, Vivian Reding along with Michael Shotter, a member of her cabinet. The main focus of the meeting was to discuss the EU Justice Scoreboard and the assistance that can be rendered by ENCJ having regard to its unique position with access not only to the Councils for the Judiciary, but also to the wider judicial community across the European Member States and of the candidate and potential candidate Member States.

Operation Mindfuck - Golden Apple Seed Mission
Operation Mindfuck is an age old Discordian mission to spread Chaos and Discord in the name of our Goddess Eris, in an attempt to bring some light to our monotonous ordered world and revoke the curse of Greyface. And simply for the LULZ ofcourse... As part of the new Golden Apple Seed Missions this becomes the OMGASM, the great leaderless mission to save the population from themselves. Other GASM's (Often considered to be part of the greater OMGASM) are: POSTERGASM COLBERTGASM A typical OMGASM (of which there are none) would be the application of a suitable meme bomb to any currently unused wall space in a public area...
e.g. You have 30 seconds to forget this message. |

Operation Mindfuck: Golden Apple Seed Mission. Using jakes, random acts of weirdness, completely unexpected actions and bizarre practical jokes to blow minds. A holy Discordian mission.
Includes Abbygasm, Bookgasm, Colbertgasm, Erister Egg Hunt or EggGASM, Litgasm, Mileygasm, and more including Gasm Gasm. Also what a Discordian American Princess has when she successfully completes such a mission and climaxes. Oh My Goddess! I just Jaked our principal and OMG OMG OMG OMGASM!

An American comedy short about sex and yoga. Actress/dancer Alexandra Fulton starred in her directorial debut film which runs about 5 minutes and 37 seconds. It premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in France at the Short Film Corner on May 21th, 2008.
Fulton plays Daisy, a skeptical woman who slides into a colorful erotic fantasy about her handsome yoga teacher David, played by Adam Pena. The name blends "Om," the most sacred symbol in the Hindu, Jain, Buddhist and Discordian religions, with the word "orgasm." It's also a reference to tantric sex. Man, watching OMgasm gave me an Omgasm!

An omgasm is when someone goes OMGOGMOGMOMGOGMOMGOMGOMGOMGOGMOGMOGM on the Internet. Commonly used by retarded 8th graders who think they know how to use the Internet, but really just found a keyboard on the ground and started hitting it. OGMOMGOMGOMGOGMOGMOMG SHUT UP LOL

Forums >Racing>Suggestions: Boston 2013 alternative?
Interval Junkie --Nobby
I train with a bunch of guys who qualified for Boston 2013. My BQ came too late for 2013. However, I'd really enjoy training with these guys -- having a race on the same weekend would help sync up the training schedule. Any suggestions? What follows are my general criteria
-Prefer East Coast, though mid-west isn't out of the question
-expected to be 25-45F on race day
-prefer faster course (that is, mostly flat, un-windy)
- Big/Small doesn't much matter -- "known" marathon would be nice. That is, one where if I tell someone I ran XYZ they'd probably know what I'm talking about. But it's a small concern compared to the above
I guess a week before/after wouldn't be out of the question.
Jeff, I'm just looking at my options -- still might decided to dedicate the Spring to a BadDawg series of 5Ks.
2013 Goals: 18:49 5K • 1:25 HM • sub-3 Marathon • run lots of races
Current Status 5/13: challenging my Achilles issue -- building some base
"Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood." -Daniel Burnham
"Good grief you are gross." -L Train
Imminent Catastrophe
I was going to say Gansett too. It's kind of the doppelgänger of Boston, with equal qualifying times but no exceptions for celebrities or charities.
"Able to function despite imminent catastrophe"
"The most common question from potential entrants is 'I do not know if I can do this' to which I usually answer, 'that's the whole point'.--Paul Charteris, Tarawera Ultramarathon RD.
√ Boston Marathon 15 April
√ Big Sur Marathon 28 April
√ Bighorn 50 Mile 15 June
Tahoe Rim Trail 100M 20/21 July
Check out the former Exeter, now Gansett Marathon. It is the Saturday of Boston weekend, and pretty close by (in Rhode Island). It used to be that the only way you could get in is by running five minutes faster than your BQ. I don't know if that changed when the BQ standards changed. I did it the first year. It was small and well organized. In other words, perfect. I believe it may be windy, but a flat course.
Sounds about right . . . except my B-day is one month later, so my 3:08 time misses qualifying me by 3minus(+43seconds). Damn.
I didn't know there is a higher qualifying standard than BQ.
5k - 20:56 (Sept 30, 2012)
7k - 28:40 (Nov 18, 2012)
10k trial - 43:08 (Mar 29, 2013), 42:05 (May 05, 2013)
FM - 3:09:28 (May 19, 2013)
Lots my friend. Look at the guaranteed entry for NY.
Toledo Glass City is not a big name race but is flat and fast. Once the half marathoners split off the course is wide open, unimpeded running. Not great if you need a pace group but good course for a PR.

The region's top resort, Lagos packs in history, character and wonderful beaches. The old centre, partly walled, features local shops next to fashionable restaurants and nightspots, favoured by independent travellers as well as package holidaymakers. The Algarve's best museum, a gilded chapel, a sea fort and various monuments recall the town's heyday. Its beaches range from a broad, long town beach to picture-postcard coves close by.

"Not a Four Star Hotel, but comfortable"
We Stayed here for two nights recently. It was comfortable and functional but certainly not a four star, but in fairness we didn't pay four star prices either! Small out dated rooms, but nice big comfie bed :-) It was clean etc but none of the 'extra's' you expect from 4 star. The 'pool' was little more than a heated plunge pool situated on the roof..which […] was extremely windy, as Lagos is naturally anyway! But up on the roof top..it's wild!

"front of hotel is best"
very helpful and polite staff especially reception - it really is a must to have a marina view room because all back rooms look onto the bus station although the front rooms have sun till mid day the back have it till it goes down breakfats can be a little different each day with full scrambled eggs bacon and beans one day and the next just boiled eggs […] however there was always enough cold food and bread rolls - sometimes one has to wait fro a table but not too often. rooms 101 201 and 301 are the best all balconies are excellent and the soundproof sliding doors to balconies are adequate since the front is on the main road. some nights the bars over on the marina can be massively loud till1.oo in the morning.Overall a good hotel but we think Alvor is much better.

"Lovely hotel in a great position"
Fabulous location and view of the Marina, but be sure to book a balcony with a Marina view! Loved the bijou pool on the roof, the fact that we could make hot drinks in the room, free safe and lovely sunny breakfast room. Very easy walk into the old town and beaches too. We would recomend this hotel and will certainly go again.Дійсний відгук від користувача Expedia
"room with a view"
the staff and hotel were great. the hotel was conveniently located and we were able to walk everywhere. the hotel offered a free beach shuttle (for 2 local beaches). this was very convenient. breakfast was also included and offered a nice variety of continental and local foods.....plenty of them. our room had an awesome marina view. the only draw back […] was that our room had two single beds that were attached in the middle......they could use a little update. highly reccomend the hotel.

We stayed for 3 nights and really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is very clean and the staff are very helpful. I would suggest paying the extra for the marina view as we hadn't and the back rooms overlook a bus station. Overall an excellent hotel particularly if you are only staying for a few days.Дійсний відгук від користувача Hotels.com
"Great Location"
We are a family of four - mum, dad and 2 sons in their early twenties. We wanted a hotel near the beach but also near enough to the town so our boys could go out in the evening to the local bars and clubs. This hotel was perfect. Overlooking the beautiful marina and just (for us) a short walk to the beach (about half a mile) and only a few hundred metres […] from the town centre. We loved the historic old town with the cobbled streets. The hotel itself is quite understated, but efficiently run and clean. The pool is very small but the area around it and on the adjoining roof top is quite extensive, offering lovely views of the marina area. Nearby there are several pubs and restaurants. In the old town we found The Green Room which was a real gem with surprisingly excellent food (if you like mexican)and a great atmosphere, for both us and our lads. Watch out if you are standing outside the hotel with a handbag. The hotel stands alone, just next to the bus station. There is a large expanse of waste ground and people like to stand out there for a cigarette. We witnessed a lady having her handbag stolen. Luckily our youngest is a fitness coach and so he was able to run the thief down and return the handbag to its grateful owner. Читати даліДійсний відгук від користувача Expedia

"Nice, quiet, good location."
Nice, quiet hotel a little outside the touristy heart of town. Affordable rooms, free internet, and an ideal location for us. We could turn right to head into the heart of town or out to the Point, or go straight across the marina to the huge traditional beach. The weather was a little too chilly during our visit, but there's a heated rooftop pool […] and a sundeck for lounging with a marina view. If only Lagos hadn't been so windy while we were there!

"Wonderful Hotel"
The Albergaria Marina Rio Guesthouse overlooking the Marina in Lagos, Portugal is an excellent hotel. It is small & extremely friendly & its location could not have been better. We stayed Bed & Breakfast in a room on the first floor overlooking the Marina. The room was well appointed with twin beds, a large wardrobe, fridge & teas-made which was quite […] unusual for a continental hotel,but very welcome. A sliding door opened out on to a spacious balcony. In hindsight we would have preferred a room on the second or third floor just to have had a better view of the Marina but hopefully we can consider that if we are fortunate to return in the future. The bathroom was spacious with a shower over the bath plus a bidet. The breakfasts are buffet served & were substantial with excellent choice of hot & cold food, fresh fruit, yoghurts, various croissants, breads, buns, toast, tea & coffee in abundance in a delightful fresh & airy room overlooking the marina. The Hotel was spotlessly clean & tidy, the rooms were cleaned daily with fresh towels. The Small Rooftop Pool was a lovely place to relax & with great views over the town.

"Enjoyed our three nights"
The picture on the Web site is misleading. the hotel is on a busy road in a good location but it is Not on the water as it appears in the picture. We enjoyed our stay which looked out on a marina and southward to the sea and distant beach. Parking reservations are recommended as city parking is for three hours at a time until 10 pm at night.

"Albergaria Marina Rio - Friendly, helpful staff and good location for both bus and train"
I read a number of reviews about this hotel and as advised chose a room with a Marina view; this is well worth the extra money and I would recommend the higher floors (2 or 3). I agree with other reviewers that there was a little noise in the evening from the street, but this was more from the odd reveller than traffic. The staff were exceptionally […] helpful, particularly with restaurant suggestions. The room was comfortable and at breakfast there was a good choice. Although there are very nice beaches and coves nearby, the small pool and sun terrace on the roof were very acceptable at times. The hotel is only a gentle walk from the main shopping / restaurant area and therefore not affected by music etc later in the evening. I would certainly use this hotel again when visiting Lagos.

"Charming Place to Stay"
We arrived at this hotel not knowing what to expect as it was indicated as a guest house, but were relieved that it was in fact a full service hotel. The front desk staff was very welcoming and have us one of their better rooms, but beware - the rooms that are "quieter" face on the local bus station - so the view is not great. That was really the only […] negative thing I can say about this hotel. There are a lot of great little extras in the room. Little fridge, hair dryer, safe, nice balconny with table and chairs - great for enjoying a bottle of wine. Drying line for towels on the balcony. Free wi-fi access but only in the lobby. Business center, nice sitting area in lobby and very nice breakfast with hot and cold food. The location is very good, there is street parking behind the hotel - although you have look a little. The main area for restaurants and shops is a 7 minute walk and the same to the beach. The hotel offers a shuttle bus to two beaches in the morning and will pick you up in the afternoon. There is a really cute pool on the top floor and a sun deck from where we watched the lunar eclipse one night. We were very pleased with our stay and we would definitely stay at this hotel again!

The refectory of the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie forms an integral part of this architectural complex, begun in Milan in 1463 and reworked at the end of the 15th century by Bramante. On the north wall is The Last Supper, the unrivalled masterpiece painted between 1495 and 1497 by Leonardo da Vinci, whose work was to herald a new era in the history of art.
Partie intégrante d'un ensemble architectural édifié à Milan à partir de 1463 et remanié à la fin du XVe siècle par Bramante, le réfectoire du couvent de Sainte-Marie-des-Grâces conserve sur sa paroi nord un chef-d'œuvre incontesté, La Cène, peint de 1495 à 1497 par Léonard de Vinci, qui a ouvert une ère nouvelle dans l'histoire de l'art.
تشكل قاعة طعام دير سيدة النعم جزءًا لا يتجزأ من مجموعة هندسية شيِّدت في ميلانو ابتداءً من العام 1463 وأُصلحت في نهاية القرن الخامس عشر على يد برامانت وهي تحتفظ على جدارها الشمالي بتحفة لا متنازع عليها، هي العشاء السري ، الذي رسمه ليوناردو دا فنتشي بين العامين 1495 و1497 وهي تحفة فتحت أبواب حقبة جديدة من تاريخ الفن.
Трапезная монастыря Санта-Мария-делла-Грацие представляет неотъемлемую часть этого архитектурного комплекса, основанного в Милане в 1463 г. и перестроенного в конце XV в. архитектором Браманте. На северной стене находится «Тайная вечеря» – непревзойденный шедевр, созданный в 1495-1497 гг. Леонардо да Винчи, чье творчество провозгласило новую эру в истории искусства.
Construido en Milán a partir del año 1463 y reformado por Bramante a finales del siglo XV, el conjunto arquitectónico del convento de Santa Maria delle Grazie alberga en la pared norte de su refectorio una obra maestra sin parangón en el mundo: el fresco de "La última cena", pintado entre 1495 y 1497 por Leonardo da Vinci, que abrió una nueva era en la historia del arte.
The city of Milan was founded by Celts and has seen four particularly splendid periods. Between the 4th and 5th centuries, it was the capital of the Western Roman Empire and became established as one of the hubs of the new Christian world. The period between the 11th and 13th centuries saw the constitution and consolidation of 'Free Communes' that were soon stronger than neighbouring territories and led to the fight for freedom against German rulers that came to a head with the battle of Legnano (1176). Between the 14th and 16th centuries, the city was governed by the Viscontis, then the Sforza family and was home to the dukedom of Milan. It was subjugated first by the French and then the Spanish: this was the time of the Renaissance that motivated Gian Galeazzo Visconti, Francesco Sforza and Ludovico il Moro to produce their greatest works like the Duomo, the Castello Sforzesco, Santa Maria delle Grazie and San Satiro. The two great artists Bramante and Leonardo were actively working at this time. Milan gradually became a modern city and during the 1800s magnificent neoclassical palaces began to be built. It became the capital of the Kingdom of Italy under Napoleon and was home to the patriotic movement during the political revival.
In 1463, the captain of the Francesco Sforza troops donated a piece of land to the Dominicans. On this land there was a cloister with frescoes depicting the Madonna delle Grazie. The monks commissioned Guiniforte Solari to build a church and convent and the work began in 1463. The new Lord of Milan, Ludovico il Moro, decreed that the apse and presbytery should be knocked down to enlarge the church and he commissioned Donato Bramante to supervise the work. Bramante, who came from Urbino, structurally enlarged the church and added large semi-circular apses, a wonderful drum-shaped dome surrounded by columns and a spectacular cloister and refectory.
The fresco was commissioned in 1495 and completed in 1487. The representation by Leonardo da Vinci depicted the moment immediately after Christ said, 'One of you will betray me'. The 12 Apostles reacted in differing ways; their movements and expressions are magnificently captured in Leonardo's work. He focused on the impact of Christ's words on the Apostles and on their reactions. This broke with the traditional representation of the past, upsetting some ideas.
The genius of the artist is seen especially in the use of light and strong perspective. The three windows behind the table companions and the landscape beyond create a luminosity that set against the backlight illuminates the characters from the side as well. The result is a combination of a particular classically Florentine and chiaroscuro perspectives.
If this work is compared with others by artists such as Castagno, the differences are obvious. In the classical interpretation, Judas is depicted alone whereas the other Apostles and Jesus are on the other side of the table sitting beside each other. Leonardo rejected this and had Jesus in the midst of the Apostles; he also created four groups of three figures on either side of Christ. From the left: Bartholomew, James the Younger and Andrew who are stunned by Jesus's declaration. The second group is made up of Peter, Judas and John. Peter is leaning towards John who is seated beside Jesus and is pushing Judas forward. The figure of Judas is highlighted without isolating the others. The group on the right is made up of Matthew, Thaddeus and Simon who are involved in an animated discussion and are not looking at Jesus. In the centre and perplexedly leaning towards Jesus are Thomas, James the Elder and Phillip who are engaged assuring Jesus of their allegiance. In the centre we find the figure of Jesus in the fresco vanishing point.
Unfortunately, Leonardo did not work in oil but in tempera on a two-layered surface of plaster that was not damp-proof. It was as early as 1568 when Vasari first pointed out problems with this painting technique. Repeated conservation programmes have been carried out, the most recent over the past 20 years.

I started looking into You Me & Apollo — the band playing at McMenamins Old St. Francis School Wednesday — and was struck by its similarities to another band that played the same place almost exactly a year ago: Pickwick.
You Me & Apollo is from Fort Collins, Colo., and Pickwick is from Seattle. Those aren't the same.
But both of these bands play a sort of throwback brand of neo-soul music that has infiltrated indie rock in the past half-decade or so. Pickwick's is a little bouncier and more funky, whereas You Me & Apollo's is a bit more of an ethereal, sweeping pop thing, but they're still close cousins.
Both bands are fronted by a slightly built white dude with big, frizzy hair, nerdy glasses and an impressive voice you wouldn't expect to come out of that body.
You Me & Apollo has embarked on a three-part series of 7-inch records, which is something Pickwick did a couple years ago.
And both are considered among the next big things out of their respective home towns and states.
It's not a huge deal; I just thought it was odd. Check out You Me & Apollo at www .youmeandapollo.com.
You Me & Apollo; 7 p.m. Wednesday; free; McMenamins Old St. Francis School, 700 N.W. Bond St., Bend; www.mcmenamins.com or 541-382-5174.

Comments about Mens Brooks Spartan II Full Length Pants: Was looking for a pair of light weight pants to wear over bike shorts while biking in the fall. I'm 6'4', and am pretty evenly distributed between torso/arms and legs. The large tall fit perfectly, and the fabric was substantial enough for the fall. The only downside is that these are not the most stylish pants. The cut is fairly fitted, so it seems like it's more of a feminine styled cut than a masculine one. However, its very soft and comfortable, and the fabric is stretchy to provide for free movement. In the end, the great functionality of these pants out weighed the style concerns for me, given that the only other large tall pants offered (RRS Men's Gravity Defying Pant) were simply too lightweight to seem functional. However, if you're not limited to tall sizes like I am, you may want to look at other options which might have a more masculine cut.
