would climb the scaffolding to watch him work and constantly
badgered by his family with demands for financial help, Michel
angelo led a hectic existence. The impatient Pope is supposed
finally to have threatened to have him thrown down from the
scaffolding if he did not hurry and complete the ceiling. That
decided Michelangelo, who then had the wooden structures
taken down and left the frescoes as they were without the
final touches of gold intended for them.
Michelangelo stopped the work on October 12, 1512, and the
frescoes were uncovered on New Year’s Day 1513. All Rome
was amazed at the stupendous performance. About 10,000
square feet of surface had been covered with some 343 figures.
If you found the life of Michelangelo stimulating as depicted
in the motion picture “The Agony and the Ecstasy,” then I
would suggest that you try to read Irving Stone’s “The Agony
and the Ecstasy,” which is not a scholarly study of Michelangelo
but a popular retelling in fictional form of the life of Michel
angelo.
If after reading Michelangelo’s story as depicted by Stone
and you wish to read further in Michelangelo, I would be happy
to supply you with a list of titles.

These are the facts
You’re being told quite frequently that flameless water
heaters are superior performers. It isn’t true.
“Flameless” stems from the precarious position in which
our competitors find themselves. Their’s is a type of heating
energy that is inferior to natural gas for many purposes, includ
ing that of heating water. Purely in defense, they use the gim
mick, flameless.
But this fact remains: The intense blue flame of natural
gas heats water faster, keeps it hot longer, and restores the
supply more quickly than any other form of energy. You can’t
beat that.
Don’t YOU be fooled. Get a natural gas water heater and
you’ll be ahead. You’ll be ahead in hot water (because you’ll
never run out), you’ll be ahead in first cost (because a smaller
gas water heater does the work of a larger flameless one), and
you’ll be ahead in your pocketbook (because the FLAME is fast
and economical).
