connecting Rancho Santa Fe Road to the Vista portion opened in February 1963, at a cost of $3.9 million (about $ in dollars). The opening of the freeway was credited with helping to bring 315 jobs to San Marcos in 1963. The rest of the freeway between Nordahl Road and US 395 opened on December 21, 1964, providing a four-lane highway from Escondido to Oceanside; the segment cost $1,865,000 (about $ in dollars). SR 78 was officially designated in the 1964 state highway renumbering.
The San Diego Chamber of Commerce and the San Diego Highway Development Association urged for the conversion of SR 78 west of Vista, a length of , from an expressway to a freeway in April 1967. The College Boulevard | 24,600 |
1599654 | California State Route 78 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20State%20Route%2078 | California State Route 78
diamond interchange on this western segment was scheduled to open to traffic on October 24, 1967, and connected the recently relocated MiraCosta College to the freeway. The interchange, previously an at-grade intersection, improved traffic flow to the college by removing the left turn across the highway needed to access it. The construction of the interchange cost $800,941 (about $ in dollars). May 1968 saw the state designating the Jefferson Street and Emerald Drive interchanges as a priority. In August 1968, the state allocated $750,000 (about $ in dollars) for building the Jefferson Street interchange. Further funding difficulties were encountered due to US 395 being given priority, but both | 24,601 |
1599654 | California State Route 78 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20State%20Route%2078 | California State Route 78
interchanges had funding by August 1970.
The construction of the Emerald Drive interchange was scheduled for the year 1971. While the El Camino Real interchange was already a diamond interchange, the state planned to add traffic signals to the ramps to accommodate more congestion from the nearby mall. The Emerald Drive interchange was completed in September, and the rest of the project was to be completed by the end of the year, leaving Jefferson Drive as the only remaining traffic signal. Construction on the Jefferson Street interchange began in early 1972; the section from I-5 east to Melrose Drive (along the routing of the Vista Way Freeway) had been upgraded to full freeway standards as | 24,602 |
1599654 | California State Route 78 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20State%20Route%2078 | California State Route 78
of 1973.
## Glamis Road.
Plans to construct a road from Brawley to Glamis date from 1953; the road would provide improved access to two newer state parks. The ceding of the Chocolate Mountains to the U.S. Navy had closed a north–south road traversing Imperial County, and the government needed to restore a corridor for local residents to use, as the road was closed during the day for five days a week. However, in August, the Riverside Chamber of Commerce opposed the construction, even though it would replace the Niland–Blythe road. The chamber reversed its stance in December, as the road would mostly be constructed in Imperial County.
To construct the road, the House Armed Services Committee | 24,603 |
1599654 | California State Route 78 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20State%20Route%2078 | California State Route 78
voted to allocate $660,000 (about $ in dollars) for the Navy to give to Imperial County to construct it in February 1956. The House Appropriations Committee bundled it with 616 other projects, however, which President Dwight Eisenhower vetoed in mid-July. The allocation was eventually approved by both Congress and Eisenhower a few weeks later. "The San Diego Union" and the "Evening Tribune" (later merged to form the "Union-Tribune") were recognized by the San Diego county supervisors for their role in winning congressional support for the funding.
There was a brief delay in approving the money in February 1957 when there was a proposal to move the gunnery range. However, at the end of the month, | 24,604 |
1599654 | California State Route 78 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20State%20Route%2078 | California State Route 78
the United States Navy obtained ownership from Imperial County of the old Niland–Blythe road running through the Chocolate Mountain Aerial Gunnery Range for the specified amount. The county then used this money to fund the construction of the Glamis Road, which Ben Hulse predicted would become a state highway. This portion of the road was specifically designed to address the challenges of building it through sand dunes. The engineers routed the highway according to the terrain and made cuts in the sand up to deep. The routing roughly followed an old Native American trail that went from the Imperial Valley to the Palo Verde Valley. According to an Imperial County official, the road was predicted | 24,605 |
1599654 | California State Route 78 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20State%20Route%2078 | California State Route 78
to be more busy than US 80 and to bring traffic to San Diego directly from Needles and US 66.
The Glamis road opened in August 1958, and the road from Glamis to Palo Verde was under construction at that time; the part of the road that was already open was dedicated in October. In 1959, the rest of the current routing of SR 78 between Brawley and Palo Verde was added to the state highway system as SR 195 and Legislative Route 146. The state legislature added the portion of SR 78 from SR 115 to the Riverside County line in the 1964 state highway renumbering, also naming the road the Ben Hulse Highway. In March 1964, the Ben Hulse Highway leading to Palo Verde was dedicated, and state senator | 24,606 |
1599654 | California State Route 78 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20State%20Route%2078 | California State Route 78
Hulse's efforts to have the road built were recognized. Following this, in 1965, the newly constructed section was signed as CR S78. The section from Palo Verde to Blythe shows up as part of SR 78 on maps as early as 1965, and the section from southwest of Midway Well to Palo Verde is shown as part of SR 78 as early as 1966.
## North County freeway expansion.
In 1969, plans to extend the freeway portion of SR 78 east from the Broadway interchange through Escondido were delayed by Caltrans director Jacob Dekema due to a lack of funding until 1980. However, in 1970, the community raised concerns about the number of buildings that would need to be destroyed, as the freeway would go through a | 24,607 |
1599654 | California State Route 78 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20State%20Route%2078 | California State Route 78
dense urban area. Other routes, including routing SR 78 along I-15 south, were proposed. The majority of the Escondido City Council supported sending representatives to the upcoming California Coastal Commission meeting in January 1971 to expedite the process of construction.
A month later, an environmental study was conducted that focused on the possibilities of rerouting the proposed freeway. In April 1972, the majority of voters supported a referendum that halted plans to build the SR 78 freeway through the city of Escondido. The city then turned its focus to widening Lincoln Avenue and Ash Street instead, and also requested that the routing of SR 78 be moved to Broadway, Washington Avenue, | 24,608 |
1599654 | California State Route 78 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20State%20Route%2078 | California State Route 78
and Ash Street from Grand Avenue to improve traffic flow. Five years later, signs were installed on eastbound SR 78, directing traffic headed for the San Diego Zoo Safari Park to use I-15 south to Via Rancho Parkway instead of continuing eastbound, to bypass the Escondido traffic.
City officials expressed a desire to have SR 78 included in the Interstate Highway System in 1985, but this was determined unlikely to succeed by state senator William Craven. In September, the state government agreed to pay $7.5 million (about $ in dollars) for the widening between Oceanside and Escondido, but the county and the five cities the route ran through would have to pay for the rest of the cost. The San | 24,609 |
1599654 | California State Route 78 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20State%20Route%2078 | California State Route 78
Diego County Board of Supervisors endorsed the project that month, in order to have the best chance at getting federal funding. A spike in accidents during that year led to Representative Ron Packard proposing a way to split the costs between the governments; there were 387 accidents from January to August 1985, a sharp increase from 234 in 1984. In recognition for his work obtaining funding, SR 78 between Oceanside and Escondido was named the Ronald Packard Parkway in 2000.
The House Public Works and Transportation Subcommittee allocated $12 million (about $ in dollars) in a bill during June 1986. The Senate raised an issue over the speed limit in October, which made the outcome dubious. The | 24,610 |
1599654 | California State Route 78 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20State%20Route%2078 | California State Route 78
House and Senate eventually settled on a version of the bill in March 1987, only to have President Ronald Reagan veto the bill due to "pork barrel" spending. Congress passed the bill in April 1987, overriding Reagan's veto, in the same legislation that allowed for rural Interstates to have a speed limit of up to . The bill authorized $15 million (about $ in dollars) in federal funding, and the cities of Oceanside, Carlsbad, Vista, San Marcos, and Escondido agreed to pay $6 million (about $ in dollars); the total cost was $30 million (about $ in dollars). Caltrans predicted that without the widening project, traffic speeds on SR 78 would be as low as by the year 2000 because of congestion. A | 24,611 |
1599654 | California State Route 78 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20State%20Route%2078 | California State Route 78
public relations campaign had begun to garner public support for the project, including bumper stickers saying "I hate 78".
The widening project began construction on April 14, 1989, with the first project adding two lanes between San Marcos Boulevard and I-15. Additional funding was secured with a local sales tax increase in 1987, providing $80 million (about $ in dollars), and an additional $7.8 million (about $ in dollars) from the California Transportation Commission. By March 1991, another part of the project from College Boulevard to Melrose Drive began the bidding process. The next year, the project began to wind down, with bidding on the final part of the work between Nordahl Road and | 24,612 |
1599654 | California State Route 78 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20State%20Route%2078 | California State Route 78
I-15. The widening was complete by the beginning of 1994.
## Upgrades and improvements.
Several projects took place following the completion of the widening project. A realignment project took place in 1994 to remove one of the curves in the San Pasqual Valley, at a cost of $2.5 million (about $ in dollars). The San Marcos Boulevard interchange was renovated beginning in late 1996, but encountered difficulties in the land acquisition process. Work resumed in 1999, and was expected to be finished by 2000, at a cost of $10 million; the benefits of decreased congestion came into effect once the new westbound offramp was opened. The Twin Oaks Valley Road interchange was another subject of contention, | 24,613 |
1599654 | California State Route 78 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20State%20Route%2078 | California State Route 78
as the state Assembly refused to fund the project with $5.1 million (about $ in dollars) in April 1997. However, in June 1998, the California Transportation Commission approved the funding after the San Diego Association of Governments officially requested it. Construction began in August 1999, and was scheduled to end in 2001.
A new interchange with Vista Village Drive was opened in 1998, and the College Boulevard interchange in Oceanside was revised along westbound SR 78, at a cost of $5.5 million (about $ in dollars). In addition to this, a new interchange was constructed at Las Posas Road in San Marcos, which opened in 2006. According to the U-T San Diego (the renamed San Diego Union-Tribune), | 24,614 |
1599654 | California State Route 78 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20State%20Route%2078 | California State Route 78
SR 78 at Barham Drive was the worst "traffic bottleneck" in the county between 2010 and 2012. Thus, the interchange at Nordahl Road was also improved, and extra lanes were to be added between Nordahl Road and I-15; construction commenced in early 2012, and the new bridge opened in November. The project cost $41 million.
In the late 2000s, planning began for a bypass around the downtown portion of the city of Brawley. An expressway would carry the routing of SR 78 north and east of the city, with an interchange at SR 111, before intersecting with the current alignment of SR 78. A Swedish company began construction on this bypass in April 2008; the first phase consisted of the portion of the | 24,615 |
1599654 | California State Route 78 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20State%20Route%2078 | California State Route 78
bypass that is solely SR 111. The second phase of the bypass, from the western junction with SR 111 to the eastern junction with SR 78, lasted from February 2008 to June 2011. On the third phase of the project, from the junction with SR 86 west of Brawley to the western end of the completed bypass, construction began in late 2010. This project was identified in August 2010 as a project that could be affected by California state budget cuts. The Brawley Bypass, as it was known, opened on October 30, 2012.
# Future.
The western portion of SR 78 in North County is currently slated for several improvements. There were plans to construct an additional interchange at Rancho Del Oro Road in Oceanside; | 24,616 |
1599654 | California State Route 78 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20State%20Route%2078 | California State Route 78
however, the Oceanside City Council decided to cancel these plans in 2005, despite studies suggesting that this move would be detrimental to the traffic in the region. The City Council reinstated those plans in September 2012.
There are also plans to improve the interchange with I-5, which currently involves a traffic signal connecting Vista Way and SR 78 with the ramps to I-5 southbound. Plans call for adding more lanes to I-5 and SR 78 as well as for the construction of a new ramp from SR 78 westbound to I-5 southbound and from I-5 southbound to SR 78 eastbound. The nearby lagoon has served as an obstacle in constructing additional ramps. In 2002, the I-5 northbound to SR 78 eastbound ramp | 24,617 |
1599654 | California State Route 78 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20State%20Route%2078 | California State Route 78
I-5 northbound to SR 78 eastbound ramp was widened to two lanes to ease congestion. At 2015 meeting, the Oceanside community expressed concerns about a potential "flyover" ramp design for the new interchange. The project is scheduled for completion in the late 2020s.
A 2011 Caltrans report proposed adding two high-occupancy vehicle lanes to the freeway portion of SR 78 between I-5 and I-15 to accommodate increased traffic. In early 2016, the mayor of San Marcos stated that there were plans to add another lane in each direction to SR 78 through parts of the city.

Michael Cain
Michael Cain (born April 2, 1966 in Los Angeles, California) is a pianist and composer.
# Biography.
Michael Cain first started playing the piano at the age of four and was quickly improvising and composing. The following year he began studying classical music, although by the age of ten it was jazz that became predominant, as well as an interest in integrating several kinds of popular music.
Cain went on to attend several universities starting with the University of North Texas. Although initially a jazz major, he found that classical music was occupying more of his time and switched to that major. From there he moved to Los Angeles and continued to study classical piano at | 24,622 |
1599778 | Michael Cain | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael%20Cain | Michael Cain
the University of Southern California, and finally ended up at the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, CA., where he did both undergraduate and graduate work. Cain received a Bachelor's degree in jazz piano in 1988, and a Master's degree in fine arts in 1990.
Cain moved to New York in 1990 and began performing with many members of M-Base, a Brooklyn-based collective of musicians, initially with Greg Osby and later with Robin Eubanks and Lonnie Plaxico among others. That same year he recorded his first CD as a leader, Strange Omen, for the Candid label, a trio recording that features Glen Velez on hand percussion and Bruce Saunders on guitar.

1979 (song)
"1979" is a song by American alternative rock band the Smashing Pumpkins. It was released in 1996 as the second single from their third studio album, "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness." "1979" was written by frontman Billy Corgan, and features loops and samples uncharacteristic of previous Smashing Pumpkins songs. The song was written as a nostalgic coming of age story by Corgan. In the year 1979, Corgan was 12 and this is what he considered his transition into adolescence.
"1979" reached number two in Canada, number six in Ireland, number nine in New Zealand, and charted within the top 20 in several other countries, including Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United | 24,632 |
1599790 | 1979 (song) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1979%20(song) | 1979 (song)
States. The song was nominated for the Record of the Year and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal at the 39th Annual Grammy Awards, and won an MTV Video Music Award for Best Alternative Video. In 2012, it was voted the second-best Smashing Pumpkins song by "Rolling Stone" readers.
# Recording.
According to statements in interviews, Corgan worked nonstop after the "Siamese Dream" tour and wrote about 56 songs for "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness", the last of which was "1979". As the "Mellon Collie" sessions came to a conclusion, "1979" (which evolved out of a demo called "Strolling") was just a couple of chord changes and a snippet of a melody without words. When the | 24,633 |

time came to choose the songs that were to appear on the album, producer Flood said that "1979" was "not good enough" and wanted to drop it from the record. This, however, inspired Corgan to finish it in four hours. The next day, Flood heard "1979" once and decided immediately to put it on the album. Corgan considers "1979" the most personally important song on "Mellon Collie".
The song features a sample of Corgan's voice repeated throughout. During recording, Corgan was singing "today" as the melody line, so he and Flood decided to record him singing to a tape. The pair electronically manipulated several samples and looped them against a drumbeat.
# Reception.
"1979" is the Smashing Pumpkins' | 24,634 |
1599790 | 1979 (song) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1979%20(song) | 1979 (song)
highest-charting single, reaching number 12 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 and number one on the Mainstream Rock Tracks and on the Modern Rock Tracks charts. Virgin credited the inclusion of the single's bonus tracks for driving sales. The song was nominated for the Record of the Year and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal at the 1997 Grammy Awards. Pitchfork Media included the song at number 21 on their "Top 200 Tracks of the 90s" and said "'1979' was Billy Corgan asking, 'You know this feeling?' and the second you heard that guitar line the immediate answer was, 'I do-- tell me more.'"
In a 1996 "Spin" interview, Corgan indicated that "1979" was probably the only indication he | 24,635 |
1599790 | 1979 (song) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1979%20(song) | 1979 (song)
had for what the next Pumpkins album would sound like, "something that combines technology, and a rock sensibility, and pop, and whatever, and hopefully clicks. Between 'Bullet with Butterfly Wings' and '1979' you have the bookends of "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness". You've literally [heard] the end of the rock thing, and the beginning of the new thing".
The song was voted #13 on Triple J Hottest 100 in 1996, it was later voted #71 on the Hottest 100 of All Time in 1998, #35 on the 2009 edition and #21 on the Hottest 100 of the Past 20 Years in 2013.
# Music video.
The music video for "1979" was directed by the team of Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, who had previously directed | 24,636 |
1599790 | 1979 (song) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1979%20(song) | 1979 (song)
the music video for "Rocket". Originally, the band approached another director (possibly Spike Jonze) to film the video for "1979". His idea was that all the band members were residents in an alien hotel and they were all going to have specially made alien-elephant masks. This video would have cost over a million dollars.
The video follows a day in the life of disaffected suburban teenagers driving around in a Dodge Charger. It is based on a concept Corgan created, featuring an idealized version of teenage life, while also trying to capture the feeling of being bored in the Chicago suburbs, where Corgan grew up. In the Video the Dodge Charger has Illinois license plates, although in the driving | 24,637 |
1599790 | 1979 (song) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1979%20(song) | 1979 (song)
scenes the mountains of California are visible in the background shots. Originally, Corgan wanted a scene of violence, in which the convenience store was trashed by the teens at the end of the video, but Dayton and Faris convinced him to go for something tamer. Aside from Corgan appearing throughout the video in the backseat of a car, the other band members had small parts in the video; James Iha appears as a convenience store clerk, D'arcy Wretzky as an irate neighbor, Jimmy Chamberlin as a policeman, and all three of them appear together as the band in the party scene. Band manager "Gooch" plays Jimmy's partner.
Upon finishing the video shoot, the band flew to New York to perform. However, | 24,638 |
1599790 | 1979 (song) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1979%20(song) | 1979 (song)
all tapes of the footage were accidentally left sitting on top of a car, and were lost as the driver departed. The group later flew back to re-shoot the party scene.
The "1979" video was highly acclaimed. It won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Alternative Video in 1996. It was one of Canadian cable television music channel MuchMusic's Countdown number-one videos of 1996. Billy Corgan considers it the Pumpkins' best video, calling it "the closest we've ever come to realizing everything we wanted."
The video for the 1998 song "Perfect" is a sequel to this one, and involves the same characters who are now older. The aforementioned incident with the loss of the original footage is parodied | 24,639 |
1599790 | 1979 (song) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1979%20(song) | 1979 (song)
in one of the later video's final scenes, in which a cassette tape is left on top of a car and falls off as a character drives out of a parking lot at high speed, and is subsequently destroyed by another vehicle.

Sacra conversazione
In art, a sacra conversazione, (plural: "sacre conversazioni") meaning holy/sacred conversation, but normally left in Italian, is a genre developed in Italian Renaissance painting, with a depiction of the Virgin and Child (the Virgin Mary with the infant Jesus) amidst a group of saints in a relatively informal grouping, as opposed to the more rigid and hierarchical compositions of earlier periods. Donor portraits may also be included, generally kneeling, often their patron saint is presenting them to the Virgin, and angels are frequently in attendance.
The term is often used as a title for paintings to avoid listing all the individual figures, although the trend in museums | 24,642 |
1599785 | Sacra conversazione | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sacra%20conversazione | Sacra conversazione
and academic art history is now to give the full list. The name, which only appears as a title retrospectively in the 18th century, has been explained with reference to "their rapt stillness of mood, in which the Saints, scarcely looking at one another, seem to communicate at a spiritual rather than a material level". At least that is the case in earlier examples; later ones, from the 16th century onwards, often give the impression of more conventional conversations between the figures, who lean towards one another and interact more. In Italian the term is perhaps used more often and more widely than is usually the case in English, for example covering "in aria" compositions in the tradition | 24,643 |
1599785 | Sacra conversazione | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sacra%20conversazione | Sacra conversazione
of Raphael's "Sistine Madonna" where the Virgin and Child hover in the air well above the saints.
# Development.
The "sacra conversazione" developed as artists replaced earlier hieratic and compartmented triptych or polyptych formats for altarpieces with compositions in which figures interacted within a unified perspectival space. While traditional altarpieces generally retained a vertical format, the "sacra conversazione" had all the principal figures on a single level, or nearly so. They therefore tended to move towards a horizontal format, as there was little but angels and architecture to put at the top of a vertical one, unless the divine figures were raised on a very high throne, as | 24,644 |
1599785 | Sacra conversazione | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sacra%20conversazione | Sacra conversazione
in the unusual composition of the Castelfranco Madonna (Giorgione, c. 1503). Here as in many works, the Virgin and Child are seated on a throne, but the saints stand, so in more typical examples with the throne only slightly raised on a dais, the adult heads are at about the same level. The "sacra conversazione" was one of the types of image that led to the horizontal format becoming common in paintings; before the Renaissance it was relatively rare in easel paintings. Often such works, especially if in a horizontal format and at half-length or with seated figures, were painted for the homes of wealthy collectors, whether for a private chapel or to be hung in other rooms, treated not unlike | 24,645 |
1599785 | Sacra conversazione | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sacra%20conversazione | Sacra conversazione
portraits or secular scenes.
Early examples are the "Annalena Altarpiece" (c. 1438–40), "San Marco Altarpiece" (c. 1438–43) and "Fiesole Altarpiece" by Fra Angelico and the "Barbadori Altarpiece" by Filippo Lippi (1437, Louvre). Having the Virgin the same size as the other figures is often regarded as essential to the type, so disqualifying most earlier works, where the Virgin is shown much larger. Among other artists to depict such a scene are Piero della Francesca, Giovanni Bellini, Paolo Veronese, and Andrea Mantegna.
Early examples such as the Bellini illustrated rarely show actual "conversation" or much interaction, though this may be seen from the 16th century on, as in the "Madonna | 24,646 |
1599785 | Sacra conversazione | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sacra%20conversazione | Sacra conversazione
and Child with Saints Luke and Catherine of Alexandria" by Titian. In the first examples the setting is normally architectural, loosely representing heaven, but also, until Titian's "Pesaro Altarpiece" (begun 1519), continuing the architecture of the architectural frame and therefore that of the original church setting for which it was painted. This was a radical rethink of the type, apparently set outside some temple portico with large soaring columns, viewed obliquely. The Virgin and Child are no longer at the centre of the composition, but to the right of the picture space.
As in earlier altarpieces, the choice of saints is largely dictated by the patron saints of the donor and their family, | 24,647 |
1599785 | Sacra conversazione | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sacra%20conversazione | Sacra conversazione
and those of the church, city, diocese or religious order concerned. The mixture of figures from different periods that is normal in the type makes it clear than no historical incident is being depicted, and whatever the setting, the space should be understood as mystical rather than any actual place.
## Landscape settings.
Also in the 1510s, Titian and other Venetians had been developing the mostly northern tradition of outside settings in a garden or, especially later, an open landscape. The height of Giorgione's Castelfranco Madonna in about 1503 had allowed a landscape to show above the lower zone with the saints. Palma Vecchio became a specialist in strongly horizontal "sacre conversatione", | 24,648 |
1599785 | Sacra conversazione | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sacra%20conversazione | Sacra conversazione
with the figures mostly seated or kneeling in a rather tight group, combining informality and a monumental classicism. Such compositions also drew on traditional outdoor groups featuring the Holy Family such as the Rest on the Flight into Egypt, the Adoration of the Shepherds and Madonna and Child compositions with angels and other figures.
A group of figures placed in an enclosed garden are known as hortus conclusus, and when the subject is Mary surrounded by female saints it is known as a . These were a northern speciality, where several of the figures beside the Virgin were sitting, on a bench or bank or on the ground, usually in a garden setting within an enclosure of some sort – originally | 24,649 |
1599785 | Sacra conversazione | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sacra%20conversazione | Sacra conversazione
a metaphor for the Virgin's womb, as the hortus conclusus began as a representation of the Annunciation, marking Mary's conception of Christ. These more relaxed groups were continued in Venetian paintings set in open landscape. By the end of the century, "the dominant relationships in an altarpiece such as Annibale Carracci’s "Virgin and Child with Saints Catherine and John the Evangelist" (1593, Pinacoteca Nazionale di Bologna) were not between the figures within the picture but between them and the spectator." By "Baroque painting the Virgin is removed from the earth whenever the context allows", and the scenes are often set among the heavenly clouds.
Examples in sculpture are relatively | 24,650 |
1599785 | Sacra conversazione | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sacra%20conversazione | Sacra conversazione
rare, if only because of the number of figures involved. One exception was planned by Michelangelo for the Medici Chapel in Florence, though he left the project before the two Medici patron saints flanking his Virgin and Child were done; these were made by others following his designs.
# "In aria" compositions.
Another type of composition developed to suit the needs of vertical format altarpieces with a "sacra conversatione". Here the Virgin and Child are placed, usually upon clouds, in mid-air ("in aria") above the saints on the ground. There is typically a landscape background. As well as filling a vertical picture space, this had other advantages, allowing references to the Coronation of | 24,651 |
1599785 | Sacra conversazione | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sacra%20conversazione | Sacra conversazione
the Virgin or the Assumption of Mary. The latter doctrine was still a matter of controversy in the Reformation, and a "sacra conversatione" hinting at it may have been preferred by some patrons to a full depiction, which rather required the choice of saints to be restricted to the Apostles, and often had an empty tomb in the centre. Mary is sometimes being crowned by angels, while a full Coronation of the Virgin would be by at least one of the Holy Trinity. The "in aria" compositional type begins before 1500, and becomes increasingly popular during the century following, becoming by its end "the most common type of altarpiece in Italy".
Raphaels "Madonna of Foligno" of 1511 and his "Sistine | 24,652 |
1599785 | Sacra conversazione | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sacra%20conversazione | Sacra conversazione
Madonna" of 1512 are leading examples; in the latter the two saints are also kneeling on clouds, although the curtains to the sides and the ledge on which the famous angel-putti lean keep the setting tied to the earth. From the 1520s onwards Moretto da Brescia was "probably the first major Italian artist to employ it repeatedly", painting over twenty.
# Origin of the term.
The term does not appear, referring to the subject of a picture, before Italian references at the end of the 18th century; in 1979 the earliest use found was in inventories of the Pucci family from 1763 and 1797. But the term, in its Latin equivalents "santa conversatio" and "pia conversatio", appears several times in the | 24,653 |
1599785 | Sacra conversazione | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sacra%20conversazione | Sacra conversazione
key texts of the church, from the Vulgate Bible, to the Church Fathers and Catholic liturgy. But in these its meaning is more like "pious conduct" or "holy community". The development of meaning of the Italian "conversazione" is also rather complex; as in English, it was a long time before the word came to mean merely people talking together (the 7th meaning listed in the OED). The earliest English meaning, from 1340, is defined by the OED as "The action of living or having one's being "in" a place or "among" persons", very close to the Latin.
As the description of a painting, the term remained little used until the mid-19th century, when it was apparently popularized, at least in English, | 24,654 |
1599785 | Sacra conversazione | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sacra%20conversazione | Sacra conversazione
by the "History of Painting in Italy" (3 volumes, 1864–1866) by Crowe and Cavalcaselle. They claimed "with remarkable "élan"" that Palma Vecchio was "the inventor of the large Sacra Conversazione in which full-lengths of saints hold court in the presence of the Virgin ...", suggesting a rather more narrow sense of the term than prevails today.
Later art historians have commonly placed the origin of the type in works by Masaccio, Domenico Veneziano or Fra Angelico, though Jacob Burckhardt was among those complaining about its use. Nigel Gauk-Roger says that the "first true sacra conversazione was almost certainly" the "Santa Lucia de' Magnoli Altarpiece" (c. 1445–7, main panel now Uffizi). All | 24,655 |
1599785 | Sacra conversazione | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sacra%20conversazione | Sacra conversazione
of these have standing saints in an architectural setting. Rona Goffen traces the origin of the type further back, to the Trecento, examining several examples, many from the Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi, and at half-length.
Most accounts of the development restrict themselves to Italy, ignoring northern parallels, despite the "Virgin and Child with Canon van der Paele" (and two saints) by Jan van Eyck clearly representing the same type, from as early as 1434–36, as Otto Pächt has pointed out.

Ken Kwapis
Kenneth William Kwapis (born August 17, 1957) is an American film and television director and screenwriter. He specialized in the single-camera sitcom in the 1990s and 2000s and has directed feature films such as "Sesame Street Presents Follow That Bird" (1985), "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" (2005), and "He's Just Not That into You" (2009).
# Personal life.
Kwapis was born in East St. Louis, Illinois, and grew up in neighboring Belleville. He is the son of Marge (Wells) and Bruno Walter Kwapis, who was an oral surgeon. He is of Polish descent and was raised Catholic, attending the Jesuit preparatory academy St. Louis University High School.
He earned a Bachelor's degree | 24,659 |
1599692 | Ken Kwapis | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ken%20Kwapis | Ken Kwapis
at Northwestern University's School of Speech, after which he traveled west to enroll in the M.F.A. program at the USC School of Cinema-Television.
Kwapis' twenty-four-minute thesis film, "For Heaven's Sake", won the Student Academy Award in 1982. The film is a contemporary adaptation of Mozart's one-act opera "Der Schauspieldirektor" ("The Impresario").
# Family.
Kwapis is married to Marisa Silver, with whom he has two sons.
# Career.
## 1980s.
In 1983, Kwapis directed "Revenge of the Nerd" for CBS' "Afternoon Playhouse", followed by "Summer Switch" for ABC's "Afterschool Special". Starring Robert Klein, "Summer Switch" is an adaptation of the novel of the same name, the sequel to a young | 24,660 |
1599692 | Ken Kwapis | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ken%20Kwapis | Ken Kwapis
adult fantasy, "Freaky Friday". For the Scholastic Book Company, Kwapis directed his first feature film "The Beniker Gang", starring Andrew McCarthy.
Kwapis' next film was "Sesame Street Presents Follow That Bird" (Warner Bros., 1985). The film was the big-screen debut of the Sesame Street ensemble (Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, The Count, Bert & Ernie, et al.). "Follow That Bird" tells the story of Big Bird's quest to live with a family of his own kind; namely, birds. A social worker arranges for Big Bird to move in with a family of Dodo Birds in Oceanview, Illinois.
In 1987, Kwapis made his prime time television debut, directing an installment of Steven Spielberg's "Amazing Stories".
Kwapis' | 24,661 |
1599692 | Ken Kwapis | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ken%20Kwapis | Ken Kwapis
second feature "Vibes" (Columbia, 1988) was made under Ron Howard and Brian Grazer's fledgling Imagine banner. Written by Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel, "Vibes" is the tale of two psychics (Jeff Goldblum and Cyndi Lauper) who are enlisted by a fortune hunter (Peter Falk) to divine the whereabouts of a treasure hidden in the Andes. The film was shot on location in Ecuador, and features a pan pipe-flavored score by James Horner.
## 1990s.
Kwapis began the 1990s with a feature-film project, "He Said, She Said" (Paramount, 1991)—co-directed by his now-wife Marisa Silver. The film, written by Brian Hohlfeld, is a romantic comedy in which the same events are recounted twice—once from each partner's | 24,662 |
1599692 | Ken Kwapis | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ken%20Kwapis | Ken Kwapis
point of view. The woman's (Elizabeth Perkins) portion of the film was directed by Silver and the man's (Kevin Bacon) by Kwapis. The film also features Sharon Stone and Nathan Lane. Soon after the release of "He Said, She Said", the film's title (coined by Silver) entered the vernacular as shorthand for any situation involving "testimony in direct conflict".
Kwapis then moved into series television, directing the pilot of HBO's comedy "The Larry Sanders Show". He directed twelve episodes of the series.
Kwapis also contributed two episodes to the sci-fi series "Eerie, Indiana".
Kwapis' fourth feature, "Dunston Checks In" (Twentieth Century Fox, 1996), stars Jason Alexander as the manager of | 24,663 |
1599692 | Ken Kwapis | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ken%20Kwapis | Ken Kwapis
a grand hotel in New York City, which is owned and operated by a tyrant in the Leona Helmsley mold (Faye Dunaway). An aristocrat of dubious origin (Rupert Everett) checks into the hotel with an orangutan jewel thief.
Kwapis' next film, "The Beautician and the Beast" (Paramount, 1997), evokes the Ruritanian comedies of Ernst Lubitsch. Fran Drescher plays a New York cosmetologist who is mistakenly hired to tutor the children of the despotic president of Slovetzia (Timothy Dalton).
In the late 1990s, Kwapis directed two episodes of NBC's short-lived cult following show "Freaks and Geeks".
## 2000s.
He also directed nineteen episodes of Fox's "Malcolm in the Middle", winning a Primetime Emmy | 24,664 |
1599692 | Ken Kwapis | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ken%20Kwapis | Ken Kwapis
Award nomination for his work as a producer-director.
In 2001, Kwapis helped develop "The Bernie Mac Show" for Fox, directing the pilot and ten additional episodes, including the series finale, "Bernie's Angels". Also for Fox, Kwapis was one of the main creative forces behind "Grounded for Life", a hybrid comedy combining single- and multi-camera techniques. Kwapis experimented with the form even further in the pilot of "Watching Ellie", Julia Louis-Dreyfus' follow-up to "Seinfeld". The distinctive pilot has a story that unfolds in real time, with an on-screen clock. Playing the role of Ellie's ex-boyfriend is Steve Carell, with whom Kwapis would shortly collaborate on his next major project.
In | 24,665 |
1599692 | Ken Kwapis | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ken%20Kwapis | Ken Kwapis
2005, Kwapis worked on "The Office" which was an adaptation of the BBC mockumentary of the same name. He directed the pilot and twelve additional episodes, including the 100th episode of the series, "Company Picnic". His work on the third-season premiere, "Gay Witch Hunt", earned him a second Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series. He also directed the series finale.
For Showtime Independent Pictures, Kwapis wrote and directed "Sexual Life" (2005), loosely based on Arthur Schnitzler's satiric story taking place in fin-de-siècle Vienna, "La Ronde".
Kwapis' next feature was another adaptation, "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" (Warner Bros., 2006), based | 24,666 |
1599692 | Ken Kwapis | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ken%20Kwapis | Ken Kwapis
on the bestselling young adult novel by Ann Brashares. "Sisterhood", a coming-of-age story about four sixteen-year-old friends, stars Amber Tamblyn, Alexis Bledel, America Ferrera, and Blake Lively (her screen debut).
His next feature, "License to Wed" (Warner Bros., 2007), follows a young couple (Mandy Moore and John Krasinski), as they embark upon an unorthodox pre-marital course, devised by a highly mischievous and somewhat perverse minister (Robin Williams). Designed to determine their compatibility, the course compresses the first ten years of marriage into one week.
Kwapis' follow-up was another look at romantic entanglements, "He's Just Not That into You" (New Line Cinema, 2009). The | 24,667 |
1599692 | Ken Kwapis | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ken%20Kwapis | Ken Kwapis
film is adapted from the bestselling advice book by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo, which encouraged people to learn to read romantic signals correctly. The film stars Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Connelly, Kevin Connolly, Bradley Cooper, Ginnifer Goodwin, Scarlett Johansson, and Justin Long.
## 2010s.
Kwapis launched his seventh series and directed his tenth feature film in 2010. He was the executive producer and director of the pilot of "Outsourced", a half-hour comedy for NBC. Adapted from the 2006 feature film of the same name, "Outsourced" tells the story of a Kansas City-based novelties company that ships all of its customer service jobs to India. The one American | 24,668 |
1599692 | Ken Kwapis | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ken%20Kwapis | Ken Kwapis
employee not to be fired, Todd Dempsey (Ben Rappaport), goes to Mumbai to oversee the call center.
For Working Title Films, and Universal Pictures, Kwapis directed the rescue adventure "Big Miracle", starring Drew Barrymore and John Krasinski. Based on a real event that took place in 1988, the film tells the tale of a small town newsman (Krasinski) and a Greenpeace volunteer (Barrymore) who are joined by rival world superpowers to save a family of gray whales trapped in the ice of the Arctic Ocean. The film was shot during fall 2010 in Alaska and released in 2012.
In 2013, nine years after bringing the pilot to U.S. television, Kwapis directed the series finale of "The Office". He also produced | 24,669 |

It made its debut on Showtime in April 2015 and, in addition to producing, Kwapis directed four of its episodes.
In 2014, Kwapis directed the feature film "A Walk in the Woods", based on the bestselling travel memoir by Bill Bryson. The film stars Robert Redford and Nick Nolte as two old friends who decide to walk the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail.

Lima District
Lima is a district of Lima Province in Peru. It is, however, not the Central business district of Lima, the country's capital city: this is San Isidro District.
Lima district is the oldest in Lima and as such, vestiges of the city's colonial era remain today in the Historic centre of Lima, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988 and contains the foundational area known as Cercado de Lima (Spanish: "Walled Lima").
Currently, the mayor of the Lima District is Jorge Muñoz Wells.
# Geography.
The district has a total land area of 21.98 km². Its administrative center is located at 154 meters above sea level.
## Boundaries.
- North: The Rímac River marks the district's | 24,674 |
1599814 | Lima District | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lima%20District | Lima District
border with the San Martín de Porres and Rímac districts.
- East: El Agustino
- South: La Victoria, Lince, Jesús María, Breña and Pueblo Libre.
- West: San Miguel District; and the Callao Region districts of Bellavista, Callao and Carmen de la Legua Reynoso.
# Demographics.
According to a 2005 estimate by the INEI, the district has 278,804 inhabitants and a population density of 15,736.9 persons/km². In 1999, there were 75,595 households in the district.
The high point of Lima's religious calendar for the masses is a month of festivities in October dedicated to the Lord of Miracles, during which take place several processions in the city.
# Neighborhoods.
Central Lima (known as Cercado | 24,675 |
1599814 | Lima District | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lima%20District | Lima District
proper) is limited by Avenida Alfonso Ugarte on the west and Jirón Huánuco (Huánuco Street) on the east. It is divided into West and East sides by Jirón de la Unión (Union Street), from which "cuadras" (blocks) are numbered beginning at 100 and changing the first numbers at the next block. Unlike New York's Fifth Avenue, though, "Jirón de la Unión" is not paved for cars, but almost entirely a shopping and pedestrian street; the main thoroughfares for cars and buses are Tacna Ave. on the West side and Abancay Ave. on the East. Both are separated from Jirón de la Unión by 4 blocks. The "Plaza de Armas" (Grand Army Plaza), which is the main square, is located on block 2 of Jirón de la Unión, facing | 24,676 |
1599814 | Lima District | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lima%20District | Lima District
the Peruvian government palace and the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima (City Hall). It's also known as Damero de Pizarro ("Pizarro's Checkerboard").
East of the center is the Barrios Altos (Uptown) neighborhood. Here the oldest, though least stable, buildings in Central Lima are located. Two cemeteries, El Angel and Presbítero Maestro, form the eastern border with El Agustino. Parts of the long-demolished colonial city walls can be seen here. Abutting this to the southwest is the Barrio chino (Chinatown) neighborhood, dating from the mid-1800s.
South of the West Side is Santa Beatriz section, which contains residential buildings and the "Parque de la Reserva". Santa Beatriz is locally famous | 24,677 |
1599814 | Lima District | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lima%20District | Lima District
for containing the buildings for the state TV network TNP (Ch. 7), and the top two private TV networks, America Television (Ch. 4) and Panamericana Television (Ch. 5). Its main thoroughfare is Arequipa Avenue, a narrow boulevard lined with trees of all sizes. Santa Beatriz is also home to the city (and country)'s main football stadium, the Estadio Nacional ("National Stadium").
West of the center is the Industrial Area, an industrial belt extending into neighboring Callao Region, and home to the main industries in both city and country. Most of the area is covered by large blocks containing large factories.
At its northern and southern edges, there are clusters of residential areas, particularly | 24,678 |

Ricco (crater)
Ricco is a lunar impact crater. It is located in the northern part of the Moon's far side. This crater overlies the southeastern rim of the larger crater Milankovic. Less than one crater diameter to the southwest is Karpinskiy, while to the southeast is Roberts.
This is a relatively fresh crater formation that has not been degraded through impact erosion. The rim edge is well-defined except along the southwestern edge. Along that side skirt of ejecta from Karpinsky overlies the edge and the inner wall, reaching to the edge of the interior floor. The remainder of the inner wall has a slumped in places, forming a steep top section and shelves or terraces of slumped material. The | 24,680 |
1599822 | Ricco (crater) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ricco%20(crater) | Ricco (crater)
, reaching to the edge of the interior floor. The remainder of the inner wall has a slumped in places, forming a steep top section and shelves or terraces of slumped material. The most extensive terraces occur along the northwestern side, where the rim overlays part of Milankovic. The outer rampart of Ricco spills over to form a pile covering a quarter of the interior of Milankovic's floor.
The interior floor of Ricco has level patches surrounding a formation of ridges about the midpoint. The most prominent of these ridges lies along the northeast side of the midpoint. There is a smaller ridge to the south and a low ridge in the northern floor. Several low hills lie across the crater floor. | 24,681 |

Greg Puciato
Gregory John Puciato (born March 27, 1980) is best known as the lead singer of the disbanded The Dillinger Escape Plan and is currently the lead singer of The Black Queen and Killer Be Killed. He is noted for reckless live performances, wide vocal range, outspoken views, and controversy stemming from his bands' performances and interviews.
In the December 2007 issue of "Revolver" Puciato was voted one of the "37 greatest metal frontmen" of all time. In 2013 he was named number one by MetalSucks in their listing of "top 25 modern metal frontmen".
# Early life.
Greg Puciato grew up in Baltimore, Maryland. The city was surrounded by poverty and African-American culture that "had | 24,682 |
1599757 | Greg Puciato | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Greg%20Puciato | Greg Puciato
a giant influence on [him]," both in the sense that he does not "feel uncomfortable in any area" and on his fondness for R&B and hip-hop. As a child, he became a fan of Guns N' Roses through MTV, which was the first band he was "obsessed with." Around the age of nine, he saw Metallica's video for "One" which bridged him from hard rock to extreme metal music. During that period, Puciato started playing guitar, with "Seek & Destroy" being the first song that he learned how to play. He describes the following years as centered around thrash metal and Nintendo, and shortly afterward, the Bad Brains.
At fourteen, Puciato was in a thrash metal group, and they did not have a singer, which lead him | 24,683 |
1599757 | Greg Puciato | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Greg%20Puciato | Greg Puciato
to move to vocals because he was "too much of a control freak to let someone else sing" and could not do both at the same time, but he continued playing by himself. During that time, Puciato became a fan of funk metal bands including the Bad Brains, Faith No More, Primus and Living Colour. Pucaiato cites Mike Patton and H.R. as his biggest vocal inspirations when growing up, who "opened my eyes a lot to what could be done with the voice overtop of heavy music."
Although raised in a non-practicing home, Puciato attended a Catholic private school. He was a good student and skipped grades, graduating at the age of seventeen. Later, he studied for a year in Maryland and decided to take a break, | 24,684 |
1599757 | Greg Puciato | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Greg%20Puciato | Greg Puciato
during which he was invited to join The Dillinger Escape Plan.
# Career.
## The Dillinger Escape Plan.
Puciato joined The Dillinger Escape Plan in September 2001 and first performed with the group weeks later at the "CMJ music conference" in October 2001.
In a scenario mirroring that of young Henry Rollins and Black Flag, Puciato started out as a fan of The Dillinger Escape Plan in their earlier days. When the band split with their singer Dimitri Minakakis (due to him wanting to focus more on Graphic Arts/Design), they searched publicly for a new singer by releasing the instrumental version of the song "43% Burnt" (off of their debut album). Puciato sent in a tape with one version of him | 24,685 |
1599757 | Greg Puciato | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Greg%20Puciato | Greg Puciato
mimicking Dimitri Minakakis and one with his own take on the song. He was contacted shortly after by the band, auditioned in person, and was subsequently asked to join. Coincidentally, the band's first release with Puciato was for a Black Flag tribute compilation, where they covered Damaged I and II. He has since sung on every subsequent release.
In August 2016 he told "Metal Hammer" magazine that the previously announced Dillinger "hiatus" was in fact a "break up" and explained the artistic reasoning for doing so.
## Spylacopa.
Puciato was also involved with Spylacopa, an experimental musical project headed by Candiria guitarist John LaMacchia (along with Julie Christmas of Made Out of Babies | 24,686 |
1599757 | Greg Puciato | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Greg%20Puciato | Greg Puciato
and Jeff Caxide of Isis). Spylacopa released a self-titled EP in 2008, with vocals, as well as some guitar and piano/programming, written by Puciato. Similar programming and piano playing would appear on The Dillinger Escape Plan's "Option Paralysis" album as the bonus track "Chuck McChip". Puciato confirmed in 2012 that Spylacopa is "dead".
## Killer Be Killed.
Later in February 2011, Max Cavalera, in an interview with Swedish magazine "Metalshrine", revealed that he and Greg were working on a full-length album, similar in style to Cavalera's Nailbomb project. The band, later named Killer Be Killed, was also announced to feature former Mars Volta drummer Dave Elitch, and Troy Sanders of Mastodon. | 24,687 |
1599757 | Greg Puciato | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Greg%20Puciato | Greg Puciato
In September 2013 the band recorded their self-titled debut album at Fortress Studio in Los Angeles with producer Josh Wilbur. It was released on May 13, 2014.
## The Black Queen.
He announced in an interview with "Revolver Magazine" that he was involved in a new band with Josh Eustis and Nine Inch Nails/A Perfect Circle guitar tech Steven Alexander, called The Black Queen, with a release originally expected at some stage in 2014. The band posted their first song, "The End Where We Start", and an explanation for the long wait in June 2015. The debut album "Fever Daydream" was self-released on January 29, 2016, debuting at Number 2 on the Billboard Electronic chart.
On June 15, 2018, the band | 24,688 |
1599757 | Greg Puciato | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Greg%20Puciato | Greg Puciato
announced that a new album called "Infinite Games" would be released on September 28, as well as the formation of a label named Federal Prisoner with frequent visual collaborator and fine artist Jesse Draxler. Puciato called the label "as much an act of refusal as it is a statement of intent", further elaborating in a blog post for Spotify that they would be "giving more than we would be gaining" by signing to an outside label, and that "everything I used to see as help, I suddenly saw as unnecessary at best, and a liability at worst."
## Guest Work and Non-Musical.
Puciato sang all of the vocals on the five-song, self-titled EP of digital hardcore band Error (founded by future NIN-member | 24,689 |
1599757 | Greg Puciato | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Greg%20Puciato | Greg Puciato
Atticus Ross and Epitaph Records owner and Bad Religion founding guitarist Brett Gurewitz. His position was mainly considered as temporary studio work, since the band never played any concerts. Puciato confirmed in 2012 that Error is "dead".
Puciato is furthermore a frequent collaborator, and guest on other shows. He lent his vocals to Genghis Tron's song "The Feast" on their 2008 release "Board Up the House".
He contributed a remix of the song "Bad Fall" on the 2009 Prong remix album "Power of the Damn Mixxxer". He features in A Static Lullaby's song "The Pledge" from their 2008 album "Rattlesnake!"
He and The Dillinger Escape Plan repeatedly joined the stage with Nine Inch Nails during | 24,690 |
1599757 | Greg Puciato | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Greg%20Puciato | Greg Puciato
their Wave Goodbye Tour in North America, and in Australia (both with The Dillinger Escape Plan, and solo, performing the songs "Wish" and "Mr. Self Destruct").
He contributed minor backup vocals on the song "The Marvelous Slut" on the Every Time I Die album "New Junk Aesthetic". In late November 2009 he appeared on stage during the two Deftones concerts at the Avalon Hollywood.
He sang the Deftones songs "Passenger" and "Hexagram", as well as the Metallica classic "Battery", all with Chino Moreno, as part of the Chi Cheng benefit show, and then later performed "Passenger" most nights on the 2011 Deftones/Dillinger Escape Plan North American tour.
In 2010 he appeared on and co-wrote (with | 24,691 |
1599757 | Greg Puciato | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Greg%20Puciato | Greg Puciato
Max Cavalera) the Soulfly track "Rise of the Fallen" on their record "Omen", and has on occasion performed the song live with them.
He also appears on the Architects track "Year In/Year Out" on their 2011 release "The Here and Now".
In February 2011 Puciato and Devin Townsend publicly decided to collaborate after both being Tweeted by a fan expressing interest in seeing them work together. The track ended up being called "The Mighty Masturbator" and was released as part of Townsend's "Deconstruction" album. Upon hearing the vocals, Townsend remarked "Ladies and Gentlemen, Greg Puciato just tore me a new asshole. Fucking hell…AWESOME".
In 2012 Puciato appeared as vocalist on Igor Cavalera's | 24,692 |
1599757 | Greg Puciato | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Greg%20Puciato | Greg Puciato
electronic duo Mixhell's track "Exit Wound".
In May 2014 Suicide Silence announced that Puciato had contributed guest vocals to a song called "Monster Within", on the album "You Can't Stop Me", their first album after the death of vocalist Mitch Lucker.
In January 2015 Puciato appeared as a murderer in the Retox video "Let's Not Keep in Touch", in which he chases and kills Retox guitar player Mike Crain with a baseball bat, before dumping him out of a van which Justin Pearson is driving.
In July 2015 Puciato appeared as a guest vocalist on the Lamb of God track "Torches."
In December 2016 Puciato appeared as a "shadow figure" in the Drab Majesty video "39 By Design".
Puciato wrote the foreword | 24,693 |
1599757 | Greg Puciato | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Greg%20Puciato | Greg Puciato
for Jesse Draxler's 2018 visual arts book "Misophonia".
Puciato released a book of poetry and photography, titled "Separate The Dawn", on February 12th, 2019. Initially 1000 hardcover copies were made available, selling out quickly. A second pressing of 200 was subsequently made available, also selling out quickly.
# Personal life, views and controversies.
In a 2013 interview, Puciato said that he does not "have a filter" on his statements, live performances and songs' lyrics, and in the past he thought that this "was a plus". For this reason, he claims that his social media had become a "distraction" and their original intention was distorted, which was to have a closer relationship with | 24,694 |
1599757 | Greg Puciato | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Greg%20Puciato | Greg Puciato
his fans, and that led him to close them all in early 2013, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
On July 23, 2010, Puciato's death was faked by bandmates Ben Weinman and Liam Wilson, when they posted on their Twitter accounts that Puciato had passed in his sleep. Shortly after their Warped Tour set on July 23, Every Time I Die vocalist Keith Buckley tweeted, "If Greg Puciato is dead, then his corpse just played a great set on mainstage today." debunking the rumors of Puciato's death.
He has been outwardly critical of both organized religion and mainstream politics, and of the relationship between the two, and has been consistently supportive of LGBT rights, criticizing homophobia in | 24,695 |
1599757 | Greg Puciato | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Greg%20Puciato | Greg Puciato
metal, releasing a shirt in support of LGBT rights with The Dillinger Escape Plan, and debuting a video from The Black Queen on "Out"'s magazine website.
Puciato has been outspoken on his opinions about other musicians, especially during his tenure with The Dillinger Escape Plan, criticizing artists such as Puddle of Mudd, Fall Out Boy, and Jared Leto of Thirty Seconds to Mars, the latter whom he called a "poser".
In an interview with "The Independent" in 2016, Puciato revealed that he has struggled with panic attacks and agoraphobia.
In 2017, he detailed his vocal writing and recording processes. He stated: "I don't leave anything out of the realm of possibility when it comes to vocal style, | 24,696 |
1599757 | Greg Puciato | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Greg%20Puciato | Greg Puciato
as far as getting what I want. I'm more interested in capturing or amplifying the emotion of the song". Puciato compared writing a song to a "morphing straight line", rather than a "collection of parts".
## Incident at the Reading Festival 2002.
During The Dillinger Escape Plan's 2002 performance at the Reading Festival in the United Kingdom, Puciato defecated onstage, put it into a bag, and threw it into the crowd before smearing the rest onto himself, proclaiming "This is a bag of shit, I just wanted to show you this so you'll recognize it later on throughout the day" referring to other bands that would appear that day of the festival, especially Puddle of Mudd. The act caused much controversy | 24,697 |

, I just wanted to show you this so you'll recognize it later on throughout the day" referring to other bands that would appear that day of the festival, especially Puddle of Mudd. The act caused much controversy and had them on the verge of being banned in the UK.
