Rumor Mill: Turbocharging Not in Lamborghini's Future
For a company known for its rather excessive display of style and horsepower, you'd think Lamborghini would have turbocharged something by now. But Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann is calling the shots, and is against the use of turbos.
In an interview with Autocar, Winkelmann stated that turbocharging is not in the cards for Lambo, at least in the immediate future.
For the time being it will not happen," said Winkelmann. "For this decade, I don't see it happening in the super sport car business - although I would also caution against saying it could never happen."
Well, actually, it has happened. A few examples include the 2012 McLaren MP4-12C (3.8-liter, twin-turbo V-8 rated at 592 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque) and the Koenigsegg Agera R, which is powered by a truly insane 5.0-liter, twin-turbo, V-8 rated at 1150 hp and 885 lb-ft. But while those two supercars rely on forced-induction V-8s, the 2012 Aventador stays true to Lamborghini excess and is powered by a 6.5-liter, naturally-aspirated V-12 that packs an ample 691 hp and 509 lb-ft of torque. It only needs 2.8 seconds to get from 0-60 mph, placing it in the same territory as the Bugatti Veyron. For now, we'll agree that Lamborghini doesn't need turbocharging, at least in order to produce some wild performance figures.
If and when it happens, forced induction will probably make its way into the next-gen Gallardo. According to sources at Audi, the second-generation R8, the Gallardo's platform mate, will likely see a turbocharged engine option sometime before 2020. A turbo could also make its way into the rumored "everyday" model Lamborghini is considering to boost sales.

Auguste Rodin
Auguste Rodin
François-Auguste-René Rodin
; 12 November 1840 – 17 November 1917) was a French
. Although Rodin is generally considered the progenitor of modern sculpture, he did not set out to rebel against the past. He was schooled traditionally, took a craftsman-like approach to his work, and desired academic recognition, although he was never accepted into Paris's foremost school of art. Sculpturally, he possessed a unique ability to model a complex, turbulent, deeply pocketed surface in
. Many of Rodin's most notable sculptures were roundly criticized during his lifetime. They clashed with the predominant figure sculpture tradition, in which works were decorative, formulaic, or highly thematic. Rodin's most original work departed from traditional themes of
, modeled the human body with realism, and celebrated individual character and physicality. Rodin was sensitive of the controversy surrounding his work, but refused to change his style. Successive works brought increasing favor from the government and the artistic community.
From the unexpected realism of his first major figure—inspired by his 1875 trip to Italy—to the unconventional memorials whose commissions he later sought, Rodin's reputation grew, such that he became the preeminent French sculptor of his time. By 1900, he was a world-renowned artist. Wealthy private clients sought Rodin's work after his
World's Fair
exhibit, and he kept company with a variety of high-profile intellectuals and artists. He married his life-long companion, Rose Beuret, in the last year of both their lives. His sculpture suffered a decline in popularity after his death in 1917, but within a few decades his legacy solidified. Rodin remains one of the few sculptors widely known outside the visual arts community.
Formative years
Rodin was born in 1840 into a working-class family in Paris, the second child of Marie Cheffer and Jean-Baptiste Rodin, who was a police department clerk. He was largely self-educated, and began to draw at ten. Between ages 14 and 17, Rodin attended the
Petite École
, a school specializing in art and mathematics, where he studied drawing and painting. His drawing teacher, Horace Lecoq de Boisbaudran, believed in first developing the personality of his students such that they observed with their own eyes and drew from their recollections. Rodin still expressed appreciation for his teacher much later in life. There he first met
Jules Dalou
Alphonse Legros
Rodin submitted a clay model of a companion to the
Grand École
in 1857 in an attempt to win entrance; he did not succeed, and two further applications were also denied. Given that entrance requirements at the
Grand École
were not particularly high, the rejections were considerable setbacks. Rodin's inability to gain entrance may have been due to the judges'
tastes, while Rodin had been schooled in light, eighteenth-century sculpture. Leaving the
Petite École
in 1857, Rodin would earn a living as a craftsman and ornamenter for most of the next two decades, producing decorative objects and architectural embellishments.
Rodin's sister Maria, two years his senior, died of
in a convent in 1862. Her brother was anguished, and felt guilty because he had introduced Maria to an unfaithful suitor. Turning away from art, Rodin briefly joined a Catholic order. Father
Peter Julian Eymard
recognized Rodin's talent and, sensing his lack of suitability for the order, encouraged Rodin to continue with his sculpture. He returned to work as a decorator, while taking classes with animal sculptor
Antoine-Louis Barye
. The teacher's attention to detail—his finely rendered musculature of animals in motion—significantly influenced Rodin.
In 1864, Rodin began to live with a young seamstress named Rose Beuret, with whom he would stay—with ranging commitment—for the rest of his life. The couple bore a son, Auguste-Eugène Beuret (1866–1934). That year, Rodin offered his first sculpture for exhibition, and entered the studio of
Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse
, a successful mass producer of
objets d'art
. Rodin worked as Carrier-Belleuse' chief assistant until 1870, designing roof decorations and staircase and doorway embellishments. With the arrival of the
Franco-Prussian War
, Rodin was called to serve in the
National Guard
, but his service was brief due to his
. Decorators' work had dwindled because of the war, yet Rodin needed to support his family—poverty was a continual difficulty for Rodin until about the age of 30.
Carrier-Belleuse soon asked Rodin to join him in
, where they would work on ornamentation for
Brussels' bourse
Rodin planned to stay in Belgium a few months, but he spent the next six years abroad. It was a pivotal time in Rodin's life. He had acquired skill and experience as a craftsman, but no one had yet seen his art, which sat in his workshop, since Rodin could not afford castings. Though his relationship with Carrier-Belleuse deteriorated, he found other employment in Brussels, displayed some works at salons, and his companion Rose soon joined him there. Having saved enough money to travel, Rodin visited Italy for two months in 1875, where he was drawn to the work of
. Their work had a profound effect on his artistic direction. Rodin said, "It is
who has freed me from academic sculpture." Returning to Belgium, he began work on
The Age of Bronze
, a life-size male figure whose realism brought Rodin attention but led to accusations of sculptural cheating.
Rodin in 1893.
Artistic independence
Rose Beuret and Rodin returned to Paris in 1877, moving into a small flat on the
Left Bank
. Misfortune surrounded Rodin: his mother, who had wanted to see her son marry, was dead, and his father was blind and senile, cared for by Rodin's sister-in-law, Aunt Thérèse. Rodin's eleven-year-old son Auguste, possibly developmentally delayed, was also in the ever-helpful Thérèse's care. Rodin had essentially abandoned his son for six years, and would have a very limited relationship with him throughout his life. Father and son now joined the couple in their flat, with Rose as caretaker. The charges of fakery surrounding
The Age of Bronze
continued. Rodin increasingly sought more soothing female companionship in Paris, and Rose stayed in the background.
Rodin earned his living collaborating with more established sculptors on public commissions, primarily memorials and
architectural pieces in the style of Carpeaux. In competitions for commissions he submitted models of
Denis Diderot
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
, and
Lazare Carnot
, all to no avail. On his own time, he worked on studies leading to the creation of his next important work,
St. John the Baptist Preaching
In 1880, Carrier-Belleuse—now art director of the
factory—offered Rodin a part-time position as a designer. The offer was in part a gesture of reconciliation, and Rodin accepted. That part of Rodin which appreciated eighteenth-century tastes was aroused, and he immersed himself in designs for vases and table ornaments that brought the factory renown across Europe. The artistic community appreciated his work in this vein, and Rodin was invited to
Paris Salons
by such friends as writer
LĂ©on Cladel
. During his early appearances at these social events, Rodin seemed shy; in his later years, as his fame grew, he displayed the loquaciousness and temperament for which he is better known. French statesman
Leon Gambetta
expressed a desire to meet Rodin, and the sculptor impressed him when they met at a salon. Gambetta spoke of Rodin in turn to several government ministers, likely including Edmund Turquet, the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Fine Arts, whom Rodin eventually met.
Rodin's relationship with Turquet was rewarding: through him, he won the 1880 commission to create a
for a planned museum of decorative arts. Rodin dedicated much of the next four decades to his elaborate
Gates of Hell
, an unfinished portal for a museum that was never built. Many of the portal's figures became sculptures in themselves, including Rodin's most famous,
The Thinker
The Kiss
. With the museum commission came a free studio, granting Rodin a new level of artistic freedom. Soon, he stopped working at the porcelain factory; his income came from private commissions.
In 1883, Rodin agreed to supervise a course for sculptor
Alfred Boucher
in his absence, where he met the 18-year-old
Camille Claudel
. The two formed a passionate but stormy relationship and influenced each other artistically. Claudel inspired Rodin as a model for many of his figures, and she was a talented sculptor, assisting him on commissions.
Although busy with
The Gates of Hell
, Rodin won other commissions.
He pursued an opportunity to create an historical monument for the town of
For a monument to French author
Honoré de Balzac
, Rodin was chosen in 1891. His execution of both sculptures clashed with traditional tastes, and met with varying degrees of disapproval from the organizations that sponsored the commissions. Still, Rodin was gaining support from diverse sources that propelled him toward fame.
In 1889, the Paris Salon invited Rodin to be a judge on its artistic jury. Though Rodin's career was on the rise, Claudel and Beuret were becoming increasingly impatient with Rodin's "double life". Claudel and Rodin shared an
at a small old castle, but Rodin refused to relinquish his ties to Beuret, his loyal companion during the lean years, and mother of his son. During one absence, Rodin wrote to Beuret, "I think of how much you must have loved me to put up with my caprices…I remain, in all tenderness, your Rodin." Claudel and Rodin parted in 1898. Claudel suffered a nervous breakdown several years later and was confined to an institution by her family until her death.
In 1864, Rodin submitted his first sculpture for exhibition,
The Man with the Broken Nose
, to the
Paris Salon
. The subject was an elderly neighbourhood street porter. The unconventional
piece was not a traditional
, but instead the head was "broken off" at the neck, the nose was flattened and crooked, and the back of the head was absent, having fallen off the clay model in an accident. The work emphasized texture and the emotional state of the subject; it illustrated the "unfinishedness" that would characterize many of Rodin's later sculptures. The Salon rejected the piece.
Early figures: the inspiration of Italy
In Brussels, Rodin created his first full-scale work,
The Age of Bronze
, having returned from Italy.
Modelled by a Belgian soldier, the figure drew inspiration from Michelangelo's
Dying Slave
, which Rodin had observed at the
Attempting to combine Michelangelo's mastery of the human form with his own sense of human nature, Rodin studied his model from all angles, at rest and in motion; he mounted a ladder for additional perspective, and made clay models, which he studied by candlelight. The result was a life-size, well-proportioned nude figure, posed unconventionally with his right hand atop his head, and his left arm held out at his side, forearm parallel to the body.
In 1877, the work debuted in Brussels and then was shown at the Paris Salon. The statue's apparent lack of a theme was troubling to critics—commemorating neither mythology nor a noble historical event—and it is not clear whether Rodin intended a theme. He first titled the work
The Vanquished
, in which form the left hand held a spear, but he removed the spear because it obstructed the torso from certain angles. After two more intermediary titles, Rodin settled on
The Age of Bronze
, suggesting the
Bronze Age
, and in Rodin's words, "man arising from nature". Later, however, Rodin said that he had had in mind "just a simple piece of sculpture without reference to subject".
Its mastery of form, light, and shadow made the work look so realistic that Rodin was accused of
—having taken a cast from a living model. Rodin vigorously denied the charges, writing to newspapers and having photographs taken of the model to prove how the sculpture differed. He demanded an inquiry and was eventually exonerated by a committee of sculptors. Leaving aside the false charges, the piece polarized critics. It had barely won acceptance for display at the Paris Salon, and criticism likened it to "a statue of a sleepwalker" and called it "an astonishingly accurate copy of a low type". Others rallied to defend the piece and Rodin's integrity. The government minister Turquet admired the piece, and
The Age of Bronze
was purchased by the state for 2,200
—what it had cost Rodin to have it cast in bronze.
St. John the Baptist Preaching (1878)
A second male nude,
St. John the Baptist Preaching
, was completed in 1878. Rodin sought to avoid another charge of
by making the statue larger than life:
St. John
stands almost 6' 7'' (2 m). While the ''The Age of Bronze'' is statically posed, ''St. John'' gestures and seems to move toward the viewer. The effect of walking is achieved despite the figure having both feet firmly on the ground—a physical impossibility, and a technical achievement that was lost on most contemporary critics.Hale, 80. Rodin chose this contradictory position to, in his words, "display simultaneously…views of an object which in fact can be seen only successively".Hale, 68. Despite the title, ''St. John the Baptist Preaching'' did not have an obviously religious theme. The model, an Italian peasant who presented himself at Rodin's studio, possessed an idiosyncratic sense of movement that Rodin felt compelled to capture. Rodin thought of [[John the Baptist]], and carried that association into the title of the work. In 1880, Rodin submitted the sculpture to the Paris Salon. Critics were still mostly dismissive of his work, but the piece finished third in the Salon's sculpture category. Regardless of the immediate receptions of ''St. John'' and ''The Age of Bronze'', Rodin had achieved a new degree of fame. Students sought him at his studio, praising his work and scorning the charges of ''surmoulage''. The artistic community knew his name. ===''The Gates of Hell''=== [[File:Hoellentor.jpg|thumb|upright|''[[The Gates of Hell]]'' (unfinished), [[Musée Rodin]]]] A commission to create a [[Gate|portal]] for Paris' planned Museum of Decorative Arts was awarded to Rodin in 1880. Although the museum was never built, Rodin worked throughout his life on ''[[The Gates of Hell]]'', a monumental sculptural group depicting scenes from [[Dante Alighieri|Dante's]] ''[[The Divine Comedy|Inferno]]'' in high relief. Often lacking a clear conception of his major works, Rodin compensated with hard work and a striving for perfection.Elsen, 35. He conceived ''The Gates'' with the ''surmoulage'' controversy still in mind: "…I had made the ''St. John'' to refute [the charges of casting from a model], but it only partially succeeded. To prove completely that I could model from life as well as other sculptors, I determined…to make the sculpture on the door of figures smaller than life." Laws of composition gave way to the ''Gates''' disordered and untamed depiction of Hell. The figures and groups in this, Rodin's meditation on the condition of man, are physically and morally isolated in their torment.Jianou & Goldscheider, 41. ''The Gates of Hell'' comprised 186 figures in its final form. Many of Rodin's best-known sculptures started as designs of figures for this composition, such as ''[[The Thinker]]'', ''The Three Shades'', and ''The Kiss'', and were only later presented as separate and independent works. Other well-known works derived from ''The Gates'' are ''[[Ugolino]]'', ''Fugit Amor'', ''The Falling Man'', and ''The Prodigal Son''. ''The Thinker'' (originally titled ''The Poet'', after Dante) was to become one of the most well-known sculptures in the world. The original was a {{convert|27.5|in|mm|sing=on}}-high bronze piece created between 1879 and 1889, designed for the ''Gates'''
, from which the figure would gaze down upon Hell. While
The Thinker
most obviously characterizes Dante, aspects of the Biblical
, the mythological
, and Rodin himself have been ascribed to him. Other observers de-emphasize the apparent intellectual theme of
The Thinker
, stressing the figure's rough physicality and the emotional tension emanating from it.
The Burghers of Calais
The town of Calais had contemplated an historical monument for decades when Rodin learned of the project. He pursued the commission, interested in the medieval motif and patriotic theme. The mayor of Calais was tempted to hire Rodin on the spot upon visiting his studio, and soon the memorial was approved, with Rodin as its architect. It would commemorate the six townspeople of Calais who offered their lives to save their fellow citizens. During the
Hundred Years' War
, the army of
King Edward III
besieged Calais, and Edward ordered that the town's population be killed
en masse
. He agreed to spare them if six of the principal citizens would come to him prepared to die, bareheaded and barefooted and with ropes around their necks. When they came, he ordered that they be executed, but pardoned them when his queen,
Philippa of Hainault
, begged him to spare their lives.
The Burghers of Calais
depicts the men as they are leaving for the king's camp, carrying keys to the town's gates and citadel.
Rodin began the project in 1884, inspired by the chronicles of the siege by
Jean Froissart
. Though the town envisioned an
, heroic piece centered on Eustache de Saint-Pierre, the eldest of the six men, Rodin conceived the sculpture as a study in the varied and complex emotions under which all six men were laboring. One year into the commission, the Calais committee was not impressed with Rodin's progress. Rodin indicated his willingness to end the project rather than change his design to meet the committee's conservative expectations, but Calais said to continue.
In 1889,
The Burghers of Calais
was first displayed to general acclaim. It is a bronze sculpture weighing two tons (1,814 kg), and its figures are 6.6 ft (2 m) tall. The six men portrayed do not display a united, heroic front; rather, each is isolated from his brothers, individually deliberating and struggling with his expected fate. Rodin soon proposed that the monument's high pedestal be eliminated, wanting to move the sculpture to ground level so that viewers could "penetrate to the heart of the subject". At ground level, the figures' positions lead the viewer around the work, and subtly suggest their common movement forward. The committee was incensed by the untraditional proposal, but Rodin would not yield. In 1895, Calais succeeded in having
displayed in their preferred form: the work was placed in front of a public garden on a high platform, surrounded by a cast-iron railing. Rodin had wanted it located near the town hall, where it would engage the public. Only after damage during the First World War, subsequent storage, and Rodin's death was the sculpture displayed as he had intended. It is one of Rodin's most well-known and acclaimed works.
Commissions and controversy
Rodin observing work on the monument to Victor Hugo at the studio of his assistant Henri Lebossé in 1896
Commissioned to create a monument to French writer
Victor Hugo
in 1889, Rodin dealt extensively with the subject of
artist and muse
. Like many of Rodin's public commissions,
Monument to Victor Hugo
met with resistance because it did not fit conventional expectations. Commenting on Rodin's monument to Victor Hugo,
The Times
in 1909 expressed that "there is some show of reason in the complaint that [Rodin's] conceptions are sometimes unsuited to his medium, and that in such cases they overstrain his vast technical powers". The 1897 plaster model was not cast in bronze until 1964.
Société des Gens des Lettres
, a Parisian organization of writers, planned a monument to French novelist
Honoré de Balzac
immediately after his death in 1850. The society commissioned Rodin to create the memorial in 1891, and Rodin spent years developing the concept for his sculpture. Challenged in finding an appropriate representation of Balzac given the author's rotund physique, Rodin produced many studies: portraits, full-length figures in the nude, wearing a
frock coat
, or in a
—a replica of which Rodin had requested. The realized sculpture displays Balzac cloaked in the drapery, looking forcefully into the distance with deeply gouged features. Rodin's intent had been to show Balzac at the moment of conceiving a work—to express courage, labor, and struggle.
Monument to Balzac (1891–1898)
was exhibited in 1898, the negative reaction was not surprising. The
rejected the work, and the press ran
. Criticizing the work, Morey (1918) reflected, "there may come a time, and doubtless will come a time, when it will not seem
to represent a great novelist as a huge comic mask crowning a bathrobe, but even at the present day this statue impresses one as slang." A modern critic, indeed, indicates that
is one of Rodin's masterpieces. The monument had its supporters in Rodin's day; a manifesto defending him was signed by
, and future
Georges Clemenceau
, among many others.
Rather than try to convince skeptics of the merit of the monument, Rodin repaid the
his commission and moved the figure to his garden. After this experience, Rodin did not complete another public commission. Only in 1939 was
Monument to Balzac
cast in bronze.
Other works
The popularity of Rodin's most famous sculptures tends to obscure his total creative output. A prolific artist, he created thousands of busts, figures, and sculptural fragments over more than five decades. He painted in
(especially in his thirties) and in
. The Musée Rodin holds 7,000 of his drawings and prints, in
, and thirteen vigorous

Portraiture was an important component of Rodin's oeuvre, helping him to win acceptance and financial independence. His first sculpture was a bust of his father in 1860, and he produced at least 56 portraits between 1877 and his death in 1917. Early subjects included fellow sculptor
Jules Dalou
(1883) and companion Camille Claudel (1884). Later, with his reputation established, Rodin made busts of prominent contemporaries such as English politician
George Wyndham
(1905), Irish playwright
George Bernard Shaw
(1906), Austrian composer
Gustav Mahler
(1909), former Argentinian president
Domingo Faustino Sarmiento
and French statesman
Georges Clemenceau
A famous "fragment":
The Walking Man
Rodin was a naturalist, less concerned with monumental expression than with character and emotion. Departing with centuries of tradition, he turned away from the idealism of the Greeks, and the decorative beauty of the
movements. His sculpture emphasized the individual and the concreteness of flesh, and suggested emotion through detailed, textured surfaces, and the interplay of light and shadow. To a greater degree than his contemporaries, Rodin believed that an individual's character was revealed by his physical features.
Rodin's talent for surface modeling allowed him to let every part of the body speak for the whole. The male's passion in
The Kiss
is suggested by the grip of his toes on the rock, the rigidness of his back, and the differentiation of his hands. Speaking of
The Thinker
, Rodin illuminated his aesthetic: "What makes my Thinker think is that he thinks not only with his brain, with his knitted brow, his distended nostrils and compressed lips, but with every muscle of his arms, back, and legs, with his clenched fist and gripping toes."
Sculptural fragments to Rodin were autonomous works, and he considered them the essence of his artistic statement. His fragments—perhaps lacking arms, legs, or a head—took sculpture further from its traditional role of portraying likenesses, and into a realm where forms existed for their own sake. Notable examples are
The Walking Man
Meditation without Arms
, and
Iris, Messenger of the Gods
Rodin saw suffering and conflict as hallmarks of modern art. "Nothing, really, is more moving than the maddened beast, dying from unfulfilled desire and asking in vain for grace to quell its passion."
Charles Baudelaire
echoed those themes, and was among Rodin's favorite poets. Rodin enjoyed music, especially the opera composer
, and wrote a book about
French cathedrals
. He owned a work by the as-yet-unrecognized
Van Gogh
, and admired the forgotten
El Greco
Instead of copying traditional academic postures, Rodin preferred to work with amateur models, street performers, acrobats, strong men, and dancers. In the atelier, his models moved about and took positions without manipulation. Very devoted to his craft, Rodin worked constantly but not feverishly. The sculptor made quick sketches in clay that were later fine-tuned, cast in plaster, and forged into bronze or carved in marble. Rodin was fascinated by dance and spontaneous movement. As France's best-known sculptor, he had a large staff of pupils, craftsmen, and stone cutters working for him, including the Czech sculptors Josef Maratka and Joseph Kratina. Through his method of
(layering), he used the same sculptural elements time and time again, under different names and in different combinations. Disliking the formality of
, Rodin placed many of his subjects around rough rock to emphasize their immediacy and provide contrast.
George Bernard Shaw sat for a portrait and gave an idea of Rodin's technique: "While he worked, he achieved a number of miracles. At the end of the first fifteen minutes, after having given a simple idea of the human form to the block of clay, he produced by the action of his thumb a bust so living that I would have taken it away with me to relieve the sculptor of any further work." He described the evolution of his bust over a month, passing through "all the stages of art's evolution": first, a "
masterpiece", then "
intermingled", then an elegant
. "The hand of Rodin worked not as the hand of a sculptor works, but as the work of
Elan Vital
. The
Hand of God
is his own hand."
Later years
By 1900, Rodin's artistic reputation was entrenched. Gaining exposure from a pavilion of his artwork set up near the 1900
World's Fair
Exposition Universelle
) in Paris, he received requests to make busts of prominent people internationally, while his assistants at the atelier produced duplicates of his works. His income from portrait commissions alone totalled probably 200,000 francs a year. As Rodin's fame grew, he attracted many followers, including the German poet
Rainer Maria Rilke
, and authors
Octave Mirbeau
Joris-Karl Huysmans
, and
Oscar Wilde
. Rilke stayed with Rodin in 1905 and 1906, and did administrative work for him; he would later write a laudatory
on the sculptor. Rodin and Beuret's modest country estate in
, purchased in 1897, was a host to such visitors as
King Edward
, dancer
Isadora Duncan
, and
Wanda Landowska
Rodin moved to the city in 1908, renting the main floor of the
HĂ´tel Biron
, an eighteenth-century townhouse.
He left Beuret in Meudon, and began an affair with the American-born Duchesse de Choiseul. Among Rodin's overseas admirers were the transit magnate
Charles Tyson Yerkes
and the historian
Henry Brooks Adams
; Yerkes is reputed to have been the first American to own a Rodin sculpture.
After the turn of the century, Rodin was a regular visitor to Great Britain, where he developed a loyal following by the beginning of the First World War. He first visited England in 1881, where his friend, the artist
Alphonse Legros
, had introduced him to the poet
William Ernest Henley
. With his personal connections and enthusiasm for Rodin's art, Henley was most responsible for Rodin's reception in Britain. Through Henley, Rodin met
Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Browning
, in whom he found further support. Encouraged by the enthusiasm of British artists, students, and high society for his art, Rodin donated a significant selection of his works to the nation in 1914.
Rodin in 1914
After the revitalization of the
Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts
in 1890, Rodin served as the body's vice-president. In 1903, Rodin was elected president of the
International Society of Painters, Sculptors, and Engravers
. He replaced its former president,
James Abbott McNeill Whistler
, upon Whistler's death. His election to the prestigious position was largely due to the efforts of
Albert Ludovici
, father of English philosopher
Anthony Ludovici
During his later creative years, Rodin's work turned increasingly toward the female form, and themes of more overt masculinity and femininity. He concentrated on small dance studies, and produced numerous
erotic drawings
, sketched in a loose way, without taking his pencil from the paper or his eyes from the model. Rodin met American dancer
Isadora Duncan
in 1900, attempted to seduce her, and the next year sketched studies of her and her students. In July 1906, Rodin was also enchanted by dancers from the Royal Ballet of Cambodia, and produced some of his most famous drawings from the experience.
Fifty-three years into their relationship, Rodin married Rose Beuret. The wedding was 29 January 1917, and Beuret died two weeks later, on 16 February. Rodin was ill that year; in January, he suffered weakness from
, and on 16 November his physician announced that "congestion of the lungs has caused great weakness. The patient's condition is grave."
Rodin died the next day, age 77, at his villa in Meudon,
, on the outskirts of Paris.
A cast of
The Thinker
was placed next to his tomb in Meudon; it was Rodin's wish that the figure serve as his
. In 1923, Marcell Tirel, Rodin's secretary, published a book alleging that Rodin's death was largely due to cold, and the fact that he had no heat at Meudon.
Rodin requested permission to stay in the
Hotel Biron
, a museum of his works, but the director of the museum refused to let him stay there.
Rodin willed to the French state his studio and the right to make casts from his plasters. Because he encouraged the edition of his sculpted work, Rodin's sculptures are represented in many public and private collections.
Musée Rodin
was founded in 1916 and opened in 1919 at the
HĂ´tel Biron
, where Rodin had lived, and it holds the largest Rodin collection, with more than 6,000 sculptures and 7,000 works on paper.
The relative ease of making reproductions has also encouraged many forgeries: a survey of expert opinion placed Rodin in the top ten most-faked artists.. Rodin fought against forgeries of his works as early as 1901, and since his death, many cases of organized, large-scale forgeries have been revealed. A massive forgery was discovered by French authorities in the early 1990s and led to the conviction of art dealer
Guy Hain
To deal with the complexity of bronze reproduction, France has promulgated several laws since 1956 which limit reproduction to twelve casts—the maximum number that can be made from an artist's plasters and still be considered his work.
(As a result of this limit,
The Burghers of Calais
, for example, is found in fourteen cities.).
In the market for sculpture, plagued by fakes, the value of a piece increases significantly when its provenance can be established. A Rodin work with a verified history sold for US$4.8 million in 1999, and Rodin's bronze
Eve, grand modele—version sans rocher
sold for $18.9 million at a 2008
's auction in New York. Art critics concerned about authenticity have argued that taking a cast does not equal reproducing a Rodin sculpture—especially given the importance of surface treatment in Rodin's work.
During his lifetime, Rodin was compared to
, and was widely recognized as the greatest artist of the era. In the three decades following his death, his popularity waned with changing aesthetic values. Since the 1950s, Rodin's reputation has re-ascended; he is recognized as the most important sculptor of the modern era, and has been the subject of much scholarly work. The sense of incompletion offered by some of his sculpture, such as
The Walking Man
, influenced the increasingly abstract sculptural forms of the twentieth century. Though highly honoured for his artistic accomplishments, Rodin did not spawn a significant, lasting school of followers. His notable students included
Antoine Bourdelle
Charles Despiau
, the American
Malvina Hoffman
, and his mistress
Camille Claudel
, whose sculpture received praise in France.
The French order
LĂ©gion d'honneur
made him a Commander, and he received an
honorary doctorate
from the
University of Oxford
Rodin restored an ancient role of sculpture—to capture the physical and intellectual force of the human subject—and he freed sculpture from the repetition of traditional patterns, providing the foundation for greater experimentation in the twentieth century. His popularity is ascribed to his emotion-laden representations of ordinary men and women—to his ability to find the beauty and pathos in the human animal. His most popular works, such as
The Kiss
The Thinker
, are widely used outside the fine arts as symbols of human emotion and character.

Emmy is a big fan of 'Mad Men'
LOS ANGELES — Mad Men, the sharply observed drama of a changing 1960s America, captured 19 Emmy nominations Thursday morning to lead the series pack, with the melodramatic miniseries Mildred Pierce starring Kate Winslet grabbing a top 21 bids.
Justified, the critically acclaimed Central and Eastern Kentucky-based series on FX nabbed three acting nominations.
Timothy Olyphant received an expected best actor in a drama series nomination for his role as Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens and Margo Martindale also got an expected nomination for best supporting actress in a drama series for her performance as mountain crime boss Mags Bennett. Emmy prognosticators had generally not foreseen a nomination for Walton Goggins as Raylan's nemesis/friend Boyd Crowder, but the Alabama native will be in the running.
Justified failed to get a nod for best drama series, and its nominated actors will face stiff competition in each category, particularly from Mad Men stars.
Mad Men has a chance to repeat for a fourth consecutive year as best drama. Modern Family, last year's top comedy series, was the most-nominated sitcom with 17 bids.
Other leading nominees include the Prohibition-era drama Boardwalk Empire with 18 nominations, Saturday Night Live with 16 and 13 bids each for the sex-and-swords fantasy Game of Thrones and the sitcom 30 Rock.
"OK, keep it together," a surprised nominations co-announcer Melissa McCarthy said when she realized she was a nominee for her sitcom Mike & Molly.
The controversial miniseries The Kennedys, which was dropped by the History channel and given a second chance by the lesser-known ReelzChannel, received 10 nominations, including best miniseries.
Familiar faces have a chance to claim — or reclaim — Emmys, including last year's lead comedy actress winner Edie Falco of Nurse Jackie and Jim Parsons, best actor for a comedy for The Big Bang Theory. Both were nominated this year.
Jon Hamm received his fourth lead acting bid for Mad Men, and this time the competitor who denied him the award three times before isn't in the category. Bryan Cranston and Breaking Bad weren't eligible for this year's awards because the series took a break between seasons.
Steve Carell earned a best comedy actor for his final season of The Office, his last chance to win an Emmy statuette for his role as TV's most clueless boss.
Matt LeBlanc, best known for his role as Joey in Friends, received a lead comedy actor bid for playing a screen version of himself in the satiric show business series Episodes.
There were fresh faces as well, including best drama actress nominee Mireille Enos of The Killing and Olyphant.
Kyra Sedgwick of The Closer, last year's best drama actress winner, found herself closed out of the category this year.
Two Oscar winners, Winslet and Melissa Leo, have a chance to score an Emmy for Mildred Pierce. Leo, who also appears in the New Orleans drama Treme, received a supporting actress bid for the miniseries.
Emmy voters have a chance to flaunt their risk-taking side with Game of Thrones, given the usual resistance to rewarding genre shows like fantasy or science fiction.
The series based on the George R.R. Martin novels scored a best drama nod but only a single acting bid, for Peter Dinklage in a supporting role.
Other best drama contenders besides Game and Mad Men are Boardwalk Empire, Dexter, Friday Night Lights and The Good Wife.
Modern Family is competing with The Big Bang Theory, Glee, The Office, Parks and Recreation and 30 Rock for the best comedy crown.

that is all. :]
omega has to work most of the time, but that's okay.
i get to explore the city and get lost on the train on my own.
i may live there permanently in a few years, so why not start now?
my mom went into screaming hysteria about it, but i could really care less. :]
i'm actually doing something i want to do for once in my life. #*&$ what other
my student teaching ends this week, praise the lord. allah. whatever.
glad it's over, will miss the kids but honestly i've missed "me" time and sleeping in a lot more. and half the time i've wanted to choke them for not paying attention.
very briefly, things as of late:
- grandma ended up in and out of hospital again
- crazy bitches are crazy (and need to stop projecting my life)
- going to china with omega soon
- my room is
a little late on this one, but it turned out okay. not COMPLETELY happy with the end result, because i had counted on animating a falling snowflake in the sig (not the little snow fluff that's going on right now) but got really frustrated with the smoothness and the speed for how it fell, so i just gave it up and left it as is. i decided the av was busy enough without any animation. it took me forever to choose a font, and even now i'm not really sure it fits, but i'm altogether too lazy now.
the scare of my grandma landing in the hospital is over, thank goodness. she's going to have a non-evasive procedure done tomorrow to determine the cause of her whole heart straining/stopping deal.
the other hairy situation actually has to do with my hair. it is, again, at an ungodly long length. yes yes, i look better with longer hair, but my hair is both thick in strands and in number. it's hard as hell to manage and also freaking heavy. mali, my stylist, is going to see me friday
for anyone who wants to point out to me that i'm quoting the wrong lyrics, i'm well aware "hurt" was originally done by nine inch nails. i liked the johnny cash cover of it better, thus why i went with the cash lyrics. his changes are very minimal anyway, and i think his voice matches perfectly to the song.
don't think i'll ever be good at math.
uneasiness, busy-ness, procrastination, self-doubt, exhaustion, neediness, denial.
i'm playing WoW again.
*hides in shame*
also, insanely jealous of acquaintance who went to blizzcon last weekend and got the goody bag. dammit i want a stuffed polar bear mount.
however, i'll probably never end up going because i don't want to look like a loner dweebnerd going to blizzcon by myself.
i freaking love my new sig and av set.
she's so cute i could almost puke.
i found the set of nako dancing pics right as i was about to give up finding anything inspiring from google for a new set...
also, "get down tonight" is one of the best disco dancing songs EVER.
i fecking HATE assholes who take in animals and dump them later on basis of their own stupidity. whether they can't afford to keep the pet, or have no room, or move, or whatever- why do these morons even bother? i don't care how soft your stupid heart is; if your wallet or your head is empty, don't take the animal in.
this is what reading pet ads on craigslist, and volunteering at a pet shelter, does to you.
it's so sad.
i haven't found the USB to connect my camera to computer yet, but i just realized what i got my hair cut into is vaguely similar to Rukia's hairstyle. that was what was nagging me every time i ran across the avatar.
or rather, Kristen's avatar's look. and she's changed her name to Rukia. OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
yes i know Rukia is from Bleach.
american commentators can shove it.
i can't believe i've waited over two months for a letter of proof of hours. the professor's usually a really reliable guy.
i might not be able to go back to school in time, just for this. blargh blargh blargh.
in other news, still no word from my job interview. they liked me :/ suppose they might not want me.
recently my friend, who finished college with a BA in bio-chem and spent one year in med school, acquired the title of "barista" and works at the starbucks in our local mall.
she gets things like this on a daily basis:
"i want a frappachino/mocha/mochalatte/etc." (starbucks has any number of DIFFERENT kinds of these)
"i want that" *vague pointing at menu, which hangs overhead in FRONT of the counter so that the cashier can't actually
i cannot find the USB that connects my camera and my computer.
i cannot find the recharger adapter for my DS.
i cannot find the recharger adapter for my camera.
never have i seen the need to put things into their place as i have now.
on a happier note, i did go shopping, i did get a free tote bag from VS, i did get a notebook that has "i <3 geeks" printed on the covers, and i did get new yoga pants and camis today when i went shopping.
yay, new one. gone is my creativity. haven't seriously photoshopped in over two years. *shake fist at WoW* i lost my animation program with the installation of photoshop CS, which made me sad. will have to yoink one sometime in the future.
why is it that the USPS gets packages to places on time, even EARLY, when the package doesn't matter, but will get stuff there LATE when you really, really need it to get there on time? wtf?
last two finals for the semester in less

Chapman University Dale E. Fowler School of Law is an approved provider of California Mandatory Continuing Legal Education (MCLE). The school now offers multiple ways to earn free MCLE credits.
Live MCLE Sessions
The school of law periodically hosts lectures and training events on campus in which alumni and other guests may earn participatory MCLE credits. MCLE events are posted on the law school's events calendar. Note that some live on-campus MCLE events are for alumni only (and will be so identified).
Online MCLE at the Webcast Archives
The school of law has certified several webcast archives for "self study" credit. Those webcasts marked with an "MCLE" notation will qualify for non-participatory "self study" MCLE for California attorneys for the amount of credit listed. Each webcast counts as general MCLE and does not count for special credit in any subject matter or required topic unless noted.
Free Access to MCLE DVDs and CDs at the Hugh & Hazel Darling Law Library
The school of law's Hugh & Hazel Darling Law Library also maintains a library of MCLE DVDs and CDs for free MCLE self study on the premises (not for check out). Topics include discovery, family law, tax, bankruptcy, jury selection, ethics and more.
Record Keeping Requirements
Chapman University Fowler School of Law does not maintain attendance reports for self study MCLE. Rather, attorneys are responsible for keeping track of their own education. A personal log of self-study education activities must be kept. A sample self study MCLE log may be downloaded from the California State Bar Website.
If your compliance is audited, you must prove compliance with your MCLE requirement by providing your record of self-study activities including, as appropriate, the title, provider, time spent in the activity, subject matter of the activity, and the date on which you engaged in the activity.
Attorneys should note that there is a 12.5 hour maximum for self study credit per compliance period in California.

Toms shoes has long had a way of making you feel good for looking good. It doesn't hurt that the company gives away a pair of shoes to a child in need everytime you fork over $40 for the overpriced slippers. But paying a little extra for style pays off when you are helping people. And now Toms is going even further.
The shoemaker has released two new lines of shoes -- the water shoe and the map shoe -- where not only will Toms donate a pair of shoes with every purchase but it will use a portion of the proceeds to build a clean water well to server up to 540 people in a place where water is desperatly needed.
Now you can not only look cool and feel good about it, but you have an excuse for why your slippers cost so much.

My heading might appear to be a strange statement to make considering I run an IT company. But I stand by it. Let me explain: Many small businesses I come across are initially hesitant to meet with me or my staff. "But we already have an IT guy", they declare. And indeed they do; it's the owner's son-in-law, or the guy from the computer shop across the road, or an employee's brother who is studying IT at university, or the guy they called once from the yellow-pages.
In any case, they're making the assumption that my company wants to become their "IT guy". Well not our intention at all. We aren't the "IT guy". The IT guy is the guy they call when a computer breaks, or when email isn't working, or when they want to know how to stop those damn pop-ups. But I'm here to tell you that the IT Guy is a dying breed.
As technology becomes more and more ubiquitous and it penetrates deeper within core and critical systems and processes throughout small businesses, you don't want to be relying on your IT guy. He's usually a whiz on computers, but he's not necessarily full bottle when it comes to business consulting.
You see, the line between technology consulting and management consulting is becoming increasingly blurred. Technology underpins and provides the tools for so many critical business functions that companies like mine employ business experts to provide true ongoing business solutions and services that fundamentally improve our customer's businesses. And small businesses really must engage in a long term partnership with a technology company that understands their business, first and foremost, if they truly want to maintain a competitive edge and be innovative.
You need an IT technology partner
If you don't have a partnership with a technology company that understands business you're likely to be left behind in the wake of your competitors. IT companies are changing their business models to a more consultative partnering approach, and most are dropping the old fashioned adhoc break/fix type support altogether. So if you rely on your IT guy there will inevitably be one day soon he's not available to assist you when you need urgent support. You might just find yourself up a familiar creek with-out a paddle because you don't have a strong partnership with an IT company. I believe the number of IT companies willing to answer your call to provide adhoc support will reduce as their business models shift to managed services with long term clients who look to them for business improvement, not just IT support.
So if you only have an IT Guy, do yourself a favour and make a commitment to have a meeting with an IT company. Be sure to talk to them with an open mind about how they can help you be a better business.
You want your PC fixed 'cause it's broken? – call the It guy. You want to make an ongoing and long term improvement to the way you do business?

Happy Halloween!
This is the first year that Camden has been interested in Halloween. He even wanted to dress up this year and chose Spiderman. Unfortunately, our soccer Halloween party got canceled; the church canceled their Halloween party, and we've got church tonight so I'm not sure when he's going to get to wear his costume! I told him maybe he can trick or treat at Gram and Gramp's house this weekend.
I've been meaning to list a few fun and not-so-fun things that Camden is doing right now, and I finally sat down and remembered a few of them.
1. He's discovered that his fingers fit really well in his nose. Not a fun thing.
2. His new favorite phrase is "You're wearing me out." I think he might have heard this from me one too many times.
3. He has always loved hugs and kisses, but now he really likes to rub your back when he hugs you. It's so sweet.
4. He has a newly discovered love of worms. Yes, worms.
5. He's a BIG eater these days. We cannot keep him full! And he's eating healthy stuff, not just junk so we know that he really is hungry when he asks for more.
6. When he asks to do something fun or have a snack, etc., he'll say "since I was so sweet to you, can I . . . ?"
Okay, that's all I've got for now. I need to go get my day started.

Here are a few pictures from the weekend. I wish I could show more, but I am exhausted tonight! If you've never experienced soccer with 4 -years olds, I highly recommend it. They are all too cute.
Saturday, October 27, 2007
Soccer tournament
The tournament pretty much consumed our entire day. I did get up early and go walk with my friend, and then we pretty much collapsed when we got home this afternoon. Camden was exhausted and in bed by 7:00. Tomorrow will be another busy day! I took some really cute soccer pictures, but I haven't got them uploaded or edited yet, but hopefully I'll get to it this week.
We did have one thing happen today that while I've known was going to eventually happen, I'm not sure I was prepared for. Thankfully, we've not had this experience before now, but it reminded me that we need to be prepared and we need to prepare Camden. He was swinging at the playground in between games, and a group of 3 older kids came over. They were probably 8-10 years old. They were all 3 fighting for the swing next to Camden and as Camden's swing came down, one boy stepped in his way and Camden's foot accidentally hit him. It wasn't Camden's fault; the boy stepped in front of him. The boy looked at Camden, sneered, and said, "don't you hit me, little Chinese man." He clearly did not realize that I was with the "little Chinese man" and believe me, before he moved on (okay, ran away), he knew I was the mama, and he knew that I was not happy. I'm grateful that Camden was pretty oblivious to what was going on, but, unfortunately, he will not always be oblivious. And as long as there are ignorant people in the world, he will need to have a come-back when remarks like this are made to him. He will need to have the self-esteem and feeling of self-worth that will allow him to brush off racial remarks. I hope we're able to help him have that.
Friday, October 26, 2007
We have Camden's first parent-teacher conference late this afternoon. I am interested to hear what his teacher has to say. I'm not worried or anything, just interested to hear how he is doing in an environment apart from us.
I scrapped two pages yesterday. The first uses pictures from our trip to the park last month, and I think they're such cute pictures of Brian and Camden. The second page uses a picture from the day we met Camden. I've scrapped it before, but I ran across the quote yesterday (1 joy scatters 100 griefs) and immediately thought of the picture, so I scrapped it again!

Nice and Cozy
I've been hit by the Christmas bug. I'm in the middle of several big scrapping Christmas projects. I've started making my Christmas gift list (what I'm buying for people, not my own list!). I'm planning to hit the mall tomorrow with some coupons. I bought my first gift a couple of weeks ago and another one tomorrow. I know it's early, but it just creeps up on me if I don't start ahead of time.
Here are two pages I've completed this week. I love the pictures in the first one. Camden is just too darn cute!
Tuesday, October 23, 2007
Camden learned about Zaccheus in Sunday School this week. Here are a couple of reasons why I know this. Sunday afternoon when I complained about not being able to reach the top cabinet, he said, "Mommy, that's just cause you're short like Zaccheus." My second clue came as he was coloring a picture last night of Jesus going to Zaccheus's Halloween party. Where he comes up with this stuff I have no idea! Jesus decided to go to the party as a ghost, by the way.

Making Strides
This whole adoption journey is so full of ups and downs emotionally and last week was a very disappointing one. My wise sister Elizabeth told me to just let go it every day and give it to God every morning and then go on with my life. I'm trying to!
This week is fall break for students, so I have a 3-day work week again, which is so nice! I'm looking forward to a couple of days off.
I have not scrapped this weekend at all, but I did finish up this page last week. They're old pictures of Camden when he was just 2.
Wednesday, October 17, 2007
Camden heads back to school today. He's been on fall break since last Wednesday. He told us this morning that he likes play days better cause he can play and not learn. That's my overachiever for ya! :)
Tuesday, October 16, 2007
Sunday, October 14, 2007
Thursday I had lunch with my friends, then Brian and I headed to the zoo with Camden. Somehow those zoo trips are never quite as much fun as I remember, but Camden had a pretty good time. He was kind of in a quiet mood, but he really loved the reptile house with all the snakes and fish and nasty bugs. He was quite insistent on intently peering into every single glass enclosure and finding the creatures (ya know, the ones that are always hidden!). Thursday night was soccer practice (I skipped out on that!).
Friday we sent Camden off to school and Brian and I headed out to run errands together; had lunch at Logan's, grocery shopped, etc. It was nice to be out and about for a bit.
Saturday Camden had a soccer game, and they won their very first game! I think the final score was 8 to 1. Winning or losing doesn't seem to be a big deal to Camden right now, which is why they don't keep official score I guess. He had fun drinking gatorade during the breaks and learning all sorts of new burping skills from the other kids. Saturday night Brian and I watched (well, let me clarify - I watched; Brian slept) Deja Vu which stars Denzel Washington. It was very good! We haven't watched a movie in forever it seems.
Today was a normal Sunday. The house is pretty quiet right now, though. Camden is spending the night with Gram and Gramps. He's on fall break tomorrow so they asked if they could keep him. They just bought a new puppy so I'm sure he will enjoy himself immensely.
I think that's the weekend in a nutshell. Here are a couple of page I finished up.
Thursday, October 11, 2007
4 Whole Days
I discovered a new restaurant yesterday. A group of us from work went to Pei Wei to celebrate a birthday (there's lots of those going around this week!). I'm not usually a fan of Chinese, but this was so good! I am definitely going to go back!
Here is a layout I worked on until late in the night! It is my current favorite!
Wednesday, October 10, 2007
Fall has arrived!
We had a very uneventful evening last night, but I do have a quick Camden story. This is fire safety week at school, so he's been telling us lots of things that we're supposed to be doing at home (having a plan, crawling if there's smoke, etc.). Well, he was telling us that the fireman said to call a number if we get in trouble, but he was having some difficulty remembering what the number was. After several pauses, he finally said, "You should call the stick with a hump on it and 1 plus 1." He couldn't remember what the 9 was but he remembered what it looked like anyway!
Tuesday, October 09, 2007
God Made Me This Way
Camden's coach decided they needed a break so he canceled practice last night - made for a nice quiet evening at home!
Here's a layout using the last (I think) of the pictures from our trip to Missouri with mom and Becky in September 2005. I love how Camden is just giggling at Maya and Landon. Maya and Landon, however, don't seem all that impressed.

Busy Weekend
Saturday, I spent all morning working at the brunch, but was able to leave in time to make it to Camden's soccer game, and while we still do not have a win to our name, they did play MUCH better this weekend. I think some of the practices and training sessions are finally starting to kick in. When we started this whole soccer thing, I had this fantasy in my head of our son blooming into a soccer star, cool crisp fall mornings, etc. Well, the reality is that he's only 4 and the temperature has been in the 90's every weekend. Oh, well! It has been fun at least.
Fun random quote that came out of Camden's mouth Friday night on the way home from practice: "You know what, mommy. When I'm a grown up, I'm gonna shoot a bear . . . just for you!" He was so proud of himself.
Here's an achievement we're proud of! Camden wrote his name for the very first time Thursday night. We've tried working with him before (and they're working with him in K-4, of course), but somehow the whole letters actually meaning something had never clicked before, but it finally did. It was a proud parent moment. And not bad penmanship for the first time either!
Just one page to share from the weekend. More to come later.
Thursday, October 04, 2007
This has been a busy week, but it's all just "everyday life" stuff. I've been running errands on my lunch hour, attending wedding showers in the evenings, and crashing at night! My friend Kathy and I have been to Gymboree the last two days during lunch so I can't complain too much about that! It's Gymbucks redemption time (and I had three), and I was able to find really good deals and almost finish off Camden's fall/winter wardrobe. And, if you can believe it, I even came home without any girly things – it was all for Camden this time.
Tomorrow I've got to work a couple of hours getting ready for a women's brunch on Saturday. Brian has a school thing Friday night so it will just be me and Camden at home. Saturday is the brunch that will take up the entire morning, and then Camden has a soccer game at noon. I'm hoping to finish up at the brunch in time to get to the game, but we'll just see how it goes.
I've not scrapped all week long so maybe I'll get in some this weekend.

Psalms 23
He puts me under his wing of comfort and calms my spirit within me.
He takes all my anxieties on Himself and helps
me to focus on Him.Yes, though I walk through a time
of grave uncertainties and fierce anxieties,
I will not fret - for You are my peace.
Your Word and Your presence calm me now.
You hold my uncertainties in the palm of your hand.
You soothe my wrinkled brow.
Surely serenity and trust in You
shall fill me all the days of my life. And I shall keep
my mind stayed on you forever.

10 months
This is a pretty busy week for us. Brian is gaining more and more responsibility at school, which is good, but hard too. Today he has the unique opportunity of being the teacher with his mom as the teacher's aid. Kinda funny, and I'm pretty sure he would have never anticipated that happening a year ago. I think she's even bringing him lunch.
Camden recently moved up into the 4 year old Sunday School class, and we are just thrilled with his teacher. She clearly knows just how to get to the heart of a 4 year old because we cannot believe how he remembers every little detail and nuance of the Bible stories and lessons she tells. It is very sweet. Yesterday, they must have had a missions moment because he told us all about the families who don't have enough food to eat and how they don't have real roads and they've got to use rivers and creeks and trails to travel on, etc. It's so nice to see him learning so much.
I have a ton of layouts loaded up here, and most of them are from the last several weeks. I listed a description after each page.

General admission is free to the event and VIP tickets are on sale through the event website at www.wsobv.com.
The women's semifinals and medal matches will be held on Friday with the men's semifinals also on Friday and medal matches closing the FIVB Long Beach Grand Slam on Saturday. Monday's qualification tournament for each gender will start at 10 a.m. Play Tuesday through Friday is scheduled to start at 8 a.m. and at 11 a.m. on Saturday for the men's medal matches.
A total of 78 teams from 24 countries (41 men's teams from 17 countries and 37 women's teams from 19 countries) selected by their national federations are officially entered. The event this year in Southern California is the 10th FIVB event ever held in the United States, fifth in Southern California and first since the Tour visited a USA Olympic Training Center in Carson, Calif. in 2003.
In addition to two FIVB World Tour stops in Hermosa Beach, Calif. (1995, 1996), and Carson in 2003, the other SoCal FIVB event was the inaugural FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships in 1997 held on the UCLA campus in Westwood.
As the host nation, the United States has four teams in each gender pre-positioned into the main draw. For the men, USA's teams are Sean Rosenthal/Phil Dalhausser, Jake Gibb/Casey Patterson, Todd Rogers/Ryan Doherty and Stafford Slick/Casey Jennings. The USA women's teams pre-positioned are 2012 Olympic silver medalists April Ross/Jennifer Kessy, Lauren Fendrick/Brittany Hochevar, 2012 Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh-Jennings and new partner Whitney Pavlik and Jennifer Fopma/Brooke Sweat. Except for Ross/Kessy, the other five USA teams are new partnerships in 2013.
The USA also has one team in each gender in Monday's qualification tournament. Playing for the USA on Monday will be Emily Day/Summer Ross in the women's QT while playing for the USA in the men's QT will be Nick Lucena/John Hyden. The top-seeded women's team in the QT is Brazil's Barbara Seixas/Liliane Maestrini while No. 1 in men's action Monday will be Brazil's Vitor Felipe/Evandro Goncalves.
Even though it has been 10 years since a World Tour event has been held in the USA, two of the previous medal winners in USA tournaments are still active, both from Brazil. On the men's side Brazil's Emanuel Rego and Ricardo Santos are still playing and among the top players in the world.
Emanuel has won four medals with a silver medal in 1995 and a bronze in 1996 playing with Ze Marco de Melo along with two gold medals, one in 2000 with Jose Loiola and again in 2003 with Ricardo. Ricardo also earned a silver medal in 2000 playing with Ze Marco.
The 2013 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour is comprised of 10 Grand Slam events and the 2013 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships. Not part of the World Tour but still counting towards the FIVB World Rankings, the FIVB yearly calendar also includes seven Open events, five double-gender and two women-only. There is a double-gender FIVB Open event being playing this week as well in Anapa, Russia.
The gold medal teams in each gender in the FIVB Long Beach Grand Slam will each split $33,000, the silver $22,000, the bronze $16,500 and fourth place $12,900. The women's medal matches will be held on Friday and the men's medal matches on Saturday. The FIVB Long Beach Grand Slam is the 291st FIVB dinternational men's event since the FIVB began play in 1987 and the 253rd FIVB women's tournament since women started international competition in 1992.
In the second half of the 2013 FIVB World Tour, the season finale will be in Brazil in mid-October at the $440,000 FIVB Sao Paulo Grand Slam.
Long Beach is a city situated in Los Angeles County in Southern California, on the Pacific coast of the United States. The city is the 36th-largest city in the USA and the seventh-largest in California with its population of nearly 475,000. In addition, Long Beach is the second largest city within Greater Los Angeles Area, after Los Angeles, and a principal city of the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana metropolitan area.

Spina bifida is a type of birth
defect called a neural tube defect. It
occurs when the bones of the spine (vertebrae) don't form properly around part
of the baby's spinal cord. Spina bifida can be mild or severe.
The exact cause of this
birth defect isn't known. Experts think that
genes and the environment are part of the cause. For
example, women who have had one child with spina bifida are more likely to have
another child with the disease. Women who are obese or who have diabetes are
also more likely to have a child with spina bifida.
Your child's symptoms will
depend on how severe the defect is. Most children with the mild form of spina bifida don't have any problems from it.
In many cases, children with meningocele don't have any symptoms.
Children with the most severe form of spina bifida often have spine and brain issues that cause serious problems. They may have:
During pregnancy, you can have a blood test (maternal serum triple or quadruple screen) and an
ultrasound of the developing baby. These tests check for signs of spina bifida and other
problems. If test results suggest a birth
defect, you can choose to have an
amniocentesis. This test helps confirm if the baby has spina bifida.
After birth, a doctor can usually tell if a baby has spina bifida by how the
baby's back looks. If spina bifida is suspected, the doctor may do an
X-ray, an
MRI, or a
CT scan to see if the defect is mild or severe.
Most children with the mild form of spina bifida don't need treatment. Children with meningocele may not need treatment either. But children with the most severe form usually need surgery. Sometimes surgery to correct severe spina bifida can be done before a baby is born.
A child who has hydrocephalus will need surgery to put in a drainage tube
called a shunt. It relieves pressure on the brain by draining excess fluid
into the belly. This keeps the swelling from causing more damage to the
Experts such as physical therapists and occupational therapists work with children who have severe spina bifida. The work starts soon after the child's birth. These therapists can teach parents and caregivers how to do exercises and activities with the child.
Some children may need a brace, a
wheelchair, or other aids. Children with bladder control problems may need help using a
catheter each day to prevent infection and kidney damage. As children with severe spina bifida grow, other treatments and surgeries may be needed to manage problems that arise.
There are many ways you
can support your child:
Remember that your needs are important too. Take good care of yourself so you
can stay healthy and have the energy to enjoy your child. Make time for activities you like, even if it's just for a short while each day. And reach out to family, friends, and support groups when you need help.
Before and
during pregnancy, a woman can help prevent spina bifida in her child.

Saving Lives from Deadly Minefields in Zimbabwe
By Michael Tirre on March 23, 2017
Imagine living with your family beside a field of landmines stretching for almost 150 miles. Along Zimbabwe's border with Zambia and Mozambique is the cordon sanitaire, 233 linear kilometers of danger, snaking along rivers and piercing through the bush. During the Liberation War of the 1970s, the Rhodesian Army laid the cordon sanitaire -- also called the "corsan" -- to prevent guerrilla fighters from entering the country, but today these hidden hazards continue to injure and kill local residents as they go about their daily lives: farming, gathering water, even walking to school.
The Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA) in the State Department's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs sponsors a non-governmental organization, The HALO Trust, to demine the corsan and other border minefields in northeastern Zimbabwe. I recently visited HALO's operations and brought back these photos to show how U.S. support is saving lives and making a difference to local communities, and how important it is for the international community to support demining in Zimbabwe and other countries around the world.
Since 2012, the United States has provided more than $7.6 million for humanitarian demining in Zimbabwe. Since 1993, the United States has invested more than $2.6 billion to clear or destroy landmines, unexploded ordnance, and other dangerous conventional weapons and munitions in more than 95 countries. In Zimbabwe and other countries still dealing with the hazardous effects of conflict, the United States is committed to helping these communities rebuild and recover.
To learn more about the United States' global conventional weapons destruction efforts, check out our annual report, To Walk the Earth in Safety, and follow us on Twitter @StateDeptPM.

Experience Paradise
Paradise Pointe Golf Complex is Kansas City's only public golf facility that offers two challenging 18 hole golf courses plus a 4 hole Academy course. The Posse course (our original) features bluegrass fairways, rolling terrain and beautiful lake views. The Outlaw course features zoysia fairways, large greens and more beautiful lake views.
Paradise Pointe consistently strives to offer golfers of all abilities a unique golfing experience. Each of our courses offer exciting views of Smithville Lake along with its natural wildlife habitats. The courses were named in homage to Jesse James, a native to this area. Records show that the James Gang actually lived and frequented this area long before there was a lake. If Jesse were alive today, he would not recognize the lake, but could still navigate the hills and valleys in our area. In fact, he might be able to find one of his old hideouts.

You can already tell that Wreck-It Ralph is going to gets lots of mileage from romping up and down the timeline of video game history. Disney has thrown in lots of cameos from iconic heroes and villains and created fake arcade machines to make their made-up retro franchise ring true to audiences. But this latest video attached to the movie is rooted firmly in the present-day.
The clip uses the Hero's Duty game that Ralph winds up inside of to lob some pointed commentary at the wub-infested trailers for the latest crop of shooters. And they get a poop joke in there. Hard to hate on that.

Rockstar Games has revealed a raft of new GTA V features with the forthcoming West Coast epic set to be the most expansive Grand Theft Auto offering to date.
Ahead of the spring 2013, Rockstar has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto V will feature three playable main characters and a map larger than those of GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption and GTA San Andreas combined, according to developer and publisher Rockstar Games.
Rockstar revealed these and lots of other details on GTA V in an exclusive cover story for the December issue of US magazine Game Informer, published today.
The game's three main characters are Michael, an ex-bank robber now living the high life following a deal with the FIB (the game's version of the FBI); Franklin, a young gang member from the wrong side of the tracks who has gone into semi-legitimate business as a repo man; and Trevor, a maniacal drug addict and lifelong criminal who once flew for the military.
All three characters have their own lives, homes and daily routines, and the player will be able to switch between them at will when not taking part in a mission. The trio's stories closely intertwine, and they'll be teaming up for selected missions in the game, some of which will be elaborate, extended heists in which you'll be able to change character at selected points.
GTA V will take place in Los Santos and its environs, with Rockstar deciding to try to recreate the character of Los Angeles and the surrounding area rather than the whole state of San Andreas/California.
Publisher Rockstar has also revealed that there will be more vehicles than in any previous GTA title, including planes and other aircraft accessible from early within the game. Gunplay and melee combat has been improved, car handling has been given a major overhaul and mini-games will be more complex and focussed. There will also be a number of side missions triggered by random encounters on the road (a little like those in Red Dead Redemption): you might stumble across a hitchhiker or a drug deal gone wrong, and choose to get involved or ignore it.
Do the newly revealed features have you excited about the prospect of a new Grand Theft Auto game? Have you already pre-ordered a copy ahead of the spring 2013 release? Let us know via the Trusted Reviews Twitter and Facebook feeds or through the comments boxes below.

Whether you embrace your locks' natural hue or color-treat them, there's always room for more vibrance and shine. But don't rely on a fumy, bottled enhancer for results. Instead, restore your shade with nourishing foods from the pantry.
Julie Gabriel, author of "The Green Beauty Guide," developed these temporary color-intensifying glosses for blondes, redheads, and brunettes. "You'll get similar effects to using store-bought products, but without the fragrances, dyes, or chemicals," she says. All it takes is a few minutes once a week -- and a few key ingredients.
Cocoa makes for a deeper, richer brown.
What you need: 1/2 cup cocoa powder, 1/2 cup plain yogurt, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 teaspoon apple-cider vinegar
What to do: Whisk ingredients into a paste. Shampoo hair, squeeze out the water, and apply the mask. Keep it on for 2 to 3 minutes. Drape a towel around your neck to prevent the mask from dripping, as it may stain skin temporarily. Rinse, then style as usual.
How it works: Honey moisturizes while acids in the yogurt (lactic) and vinegar (acetic) penetrate the hair shaft, allowing the cocoa's pigment to sink in. "Natural acids open the cellular doors to the pigmented molecules and make the results more pronounced," Gabriel says.
Tea, lemon, and potato enhance sunny shades.
What you need: 1 lemon, 1 raw potato, 1/2 cup chamomile tea, room temperature
What to do: Squeeze the juice from the lemon. Grate the potato and blend with the lemon to form a paste. Add the tea and stir. Shampoo, then spread the mask throughout hair, massaging lightly. Cover your head with a PVC-free shower cap or plastic wrap, then lightly heat with a hair dryer for 2 to 3 minutes. Rinse, then style as usual.
How it works: The chamomile and lemon act as whitening agents, and the acidic lemon juice allows potato enzymes -- which help brighten blonde hair -- to break through the tough, keratinized outer layer of the hair.
Carrots and berries boost red locks.
What you need: 3 medium carrots, 2 tablespoons honey, 3 tablespoons yogurt, 1/2 cup cranberries (optional; works best with copper undertones)
What to do: Finely chop raw carrots in a food processor or blender, add cranberries if using, and make a coarse paste. Add yogurt and honey, then mix well. Shampoo, then spread the mask throughout hair, massaging lightly. Keep it on for 1 to 2 minutes and rinse. Style as usual.
How it works: The yogurt's lactic acid helps the coloring antioxidants in the berries and carrots get past the surface of your locks -- so they really seep in. Honey, a natural humectant, hydrates the hair.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – The Coker Cobras are the Conference Carolinas Men's Soccer Tournament Champions! The nationally ranked No. 5 Cobras defeated the Bobcats of Lees-McRae 1-0 in the tournament final on Sunday afternoon.
Noah Lascell (Myrtle Beach, S.C.) put home the game-winner with an assist from Niko Tirkkonen (Hollola, Finland) just a minute into the second half with a blast from just over the midfield line.
It was a tightly contested, physical game from start to finish with 32 total fouls called between both teams in the match. Coker held the advantage on shots 13-6 and both goalkeepers had four or more saves.
James Sweeney (Huntingtown, Md.) earned his 10th shutout of the season with four saves for the Cobras, while Thomas Rusling had five saves in the net for the Bobcats.
Both Coker and Lees-McRae will now wait to see when and where they will play the NCAA regional tournament. The Cobras are currently ranked No. 1 in the NCAA Southeast Region poll, while the Bobcats are No. 6.

St. Louis Gay Pride Parade Celebrates Marriages
ST. LOUIS (AP) - A weekend gay pride parade in St. Louis had added significance for many participants after the city issued marriage licenses to four same-sex couples in a challenge to the state's constitutional ban on such unions.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that 39-year couple Richard Eaton and John Durnell joined Mayor Francis Slay Sunday as he rode in in a 1959 Chevrolet Impala convertible at the annual St. Louis PrideFest parade.
The parade came just days after Slay presided over four marriage ceremonies at his City Hall office. Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster is challenging the city's move in state court. The parade was one of dozens held around the country to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the Stonewall Inn riots, credited with launching the modern gay rights movement.

I am SO stoked! I'm surprised that R2-D2 w/ pop-out lightsaber is already making it out so quickly considering that, just a few months ago in a Q/A, Hasbro said that they would consider making him. Wow. They really do listen (sometimes).
No firm street date. But Hasbro did state in the most recent Q&A that figures should start showing up in the U.S. on or around August 1st.
