|The Age of Bronze. 1876. This was a controversial work at that time. Not for being a nude but for artistic reasons. Rodin was bucking art tradition in his work and the orthodox did not care for him.
|St. John the Baptist Preaching. 1878-1880. You are unlikely to see this subject depicted in this way anywhere else in art. Perhaps inspired by Michelangelo's David.
|The Thinker. Rodin cast many of these after his initial sculpture was completed in 1880. The casts run through 1902. Rodin made many versions of most of the pieces in this post. Some depicted in both marbles and bronzes. This sculpture is obviously one of the most famous pieces in Western Art. It is easy to overlook that The Thinker is a nude.
|Eve. 1881. A large bronze.
|The Kiss. 1882. A delicate, beautiful marble on display in Paris.
|Eternal Springtime. 1884. One of my favorites, there is erotic energy for me here.
|The Old Courtesan. 1885. An honest elderly nude.
|Love Fleeing (Fugit Amor). c. 1887-1900. I am partial to this design. Love is a provocatively posed female nude just escaping the grasp of a desirous male nude falling backwards, turned the wrong way to hold on to the female. There are bronze versions of this work as well.
|Eternal Spring. 1906-1907. A great variation on Eternal Springtime above.
|Poet and Muse. c. 1905. Perhaps my favorite Rodin nude. This strikes me as a more romantic than erotic work.
|Psyche (Pomona). c. 1905. A wonderful marble sculpture.
|1905. Romeo and Juliet. Sensuous.
|An amazing nude in watercolor, pencil, and paper. Date unknown. Seated nude bending over. As mentioned in the introduction to this post, Rodin sketched many erotic nudes, including nudes having sex; though he never actually sculpted any of these ideas that I am aware of.

Stila is on top of it lately. First with their AMAZING EYE LINERS and now with One Step PrimeColor for the cheeks, eyes and lips. I checked out the Capri Coral, because you know I love all things peach.
Here is what Stila says about it's newest arrival:
One Step PrimeColor is formulated with Stila's Youth Revival Bio-Available Mineral Complex™ that reads and reacts to the skin zone-by-zone, visibly priming, balancing, correcting and optimizing for a supremely flawless finish.
This formula, which is similar in concept to the Convertible* colors, is a thick creamy lotion and less like a cream blush. It comes in a tube with an angled tip, making it easy to apply to lips. A little goes a long way and it lasts a long time when worn as a cheek color or face color.
Personally, I definitely like this on the face more than on the lips. The consistency on the lips is a little too thin for my taste. I prefer a thicker feeling in lip product. That said, this particular color is really pretty as a lip color. It would be gorgeous if topped off with a gloss!
On me, it wears for at least an hour, maybe longer, depending on what you are doing. It makes my lips tingle a bit, although I am not quite sure why. It does leave a little color behind as it wears, which gives you a bitten lip look.
Here are the rest of the colors, swatched. I haven't actually worn them, but I would assume their wear is similar to the Capri Coral color.
I am loving these as cream blushes! Have you check them out? Tell me in the comments!
*If you were curious, I am told the Convertible Colors are not going away.
This was sent to me for the purposes of review.

The first week of November usually ushers in some kind of solid bass bite for a few days — though, unbelievably, water temperatures are holding in the lower to mid-60s, which may delay the influx of stripers. I may be optimistic, but mark my words, bass will be caught in numbers sometime in the upcoming week. Rounding out the inshore mix are is tautog, hickory shad, redfish and a few small bluefish. Anglers eagerly await the real start of the Fall Run.
Ocean/Bay: "A flurry of bass activity moved through this past week, and we should see the next wave come through during the new moon this weekend," said Dave Showell, Absecon Bay Sportsman, Absecon. "I've never seen so many rat and short bass this early in the fall. There's loads of 16- to 20-inch fish, with some up to 26 inches stacking up the backwaters." Showell said states that most of the linesiders are being taken around the bank structure, and that overall the inlet areas have been quiet. "These are ocean fish with sea lice on them. They must simply be passing through the inlets and setting up shop in the back," he added. Bass have been taken on live spot and eels.
Andy Grossman, Riptide Bait and Tackle, Brigantine, echoed the backwater bass bite but also told of some action happening out front. "There's plenty of shorts to be caught in the bay channels, and the outgoing tides seem to be best lately. Eels and Gulp! jerk shads are both claiming fish," Grossman said. "Out front, they are jigging fish up, as a good wave came through last weekend." Johnny T. landed a 34-pound bass that which took a live eel in Absecon Inlet. Charlie Meyer landed an 11-pound bass.
"A few bass have been caught in the Delaware Bay by those chunking bunker," said Matt Slobodjian, Jim's Bait and Tackle, Cape May. "The Rips are the same story, and most of the fish caught there were shorts. It hasn't started yet, but it can happen any day now — the water temperature is getting right, and we know the fish are moving down the beach." The Cape May rockpiles are holding solid numbers of blackfish, as and Slobodjian said: states that "Getting one to take home is a pretty sure thing. Hopefully, they will hang around until Nov. 16, when the bag limit changes to six fish."
"Tog seem to be the most consistently biting fish around lately," said Tammy Carbohn, Avalon Hodge Podge, Avalon. "Several have been landed at the Townsend's Inlet Bridge." Mark and Candice Ciesielski weighed in two keepers measuring 173/4 inches and 181/2 inches. The Eighth Street jetty also has bulldogs hanging about, as well as red drum to 24 inches that are gobbling up mullet on bottom rigs. Bass-wise, Carbohn noted that a lot of baitfish are around, including large schools of sand eels that recently showed up about a mile offshore. "One customer even reported seeing a whale feeding on them! Stripers are chewing in the back bays, though they do not appear to be the bigger 'migrating' bass as of yet."
Surf: Riptide Bait and Tackle's Grossman states that Linda Divola, Brigantine, has been lighting up the Brigantine surf so much that she's got people following her around. Grossman reports that Divola has been casting a Sebile plug, and this week alone, she beached a 26-pound 14-ounce bass, a 24-pounder and an 18 pounder. What a pro! Grossman stated that she is fishing all day and night and putting up the numbers, but the rest of the beach has been relatively quiet. A big school of bass is moving its way from Seaside Heights and southward, so there may be some quality surf action by the weekend.
According to Slobodjian at Jim's Bait and Tackle, the Cape May and North Wildwood surf is still coughing up a few redfish with short bass also in the mix.
The Seaside Heights and Island Beach State Park sands have been relatively quiet lately, though anglers fishing in the dark hours have been picking away at bass from 8 to 18 pounds, and even a few red drum have come up for anglers bouncing bucktails along the sandy bottom. Hickory shad and spike weakfish have been hitting teasers at night as well.
Though I hate to sound repetitive, I have to say that the best bet is still targeting the mainly short bass in the backwaters of Absecon, Ocean City and Brigantine areas. Absecon Bay, Broad Creek Channel, Lakes Bay have all had pretty decent numbers of stripers in the 20- to 26-inch class that which are feasting on live spot and eels, as well as hitting Berkley Gulp! jerk shads. Try to catch the outgoing tides, though sunup hours are always a good time to target bass, regardless of tide stage.

This program is from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Join us from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. for Picturing Me. Do you know how long it took to have your portrait painted 200 years ago? Children will explore the extensive portrait collection at the Homestead. Following the tour, children will create their own portrait.
On Friday, April 3, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., discover What's Cooking? Children will experience first-hand what it was like to work in a kitchen 200 years ago. They will get the opportunity to tour and touch objects in the museum's summer kitchen and dining room. They will also prepare a historic recipe which they can complete at home.
From 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., we go Here, There and Everywhere! Discover how people got around 200 years ago, including how travel exposed people to new and fascinating discoveries. We will tour the bedrooms of John Jay and his daughter, Nancy, and some of the farm buildings that housed Jay vehicles and animals. We will also make our own hot air balloon craft.
The spring break mini-camp series is a drop-off program for children ages five to ten with all days except Tuesday containing morning and afternoon sessions.

This is the vacuum for you and your condo
I'm not sure if I mentioned in previous posts but I am not much of a cleaner. In fact I am downright ambivalent to cleaning most of the time. It usually takes a few unpleasant looks from my husband to realize I'm not pulling my weight in the cleaning department. So since I'm not known for my cleaning skills I like to equip myself with the best tools. For example I've got my friend Scrubbing Bubbles doing most of the work in the bathrooms. I've even enlisted one of those robot vacuum cleaners in my time. However awesome an idea those robot vacuum cleaners are, I just don't think there up to the job most of the time, I mean I could do a better job and believe me that is not saying much. I've always like Dyson vacuums and I have got my eye on the Dyson DC62 Animal Slim Vacuum. It looks perfect for me and condo residents everywhere. It's lightweight with no annoying cord and it's a Dyson so it's got to work well. It's on sale pretty much everywhere today i.e. Dyson online, Home Outfitters, The Bay, Best Buy etc.. So if you're like me and think that the Dyson DC62 Animal Slim will make you look somewhat competent in cleaning, save some money and get it while it's on sale today.

Industry directories have been a bread-and-butter offering of b-to-b media companies almost from the beginning. Today, as publishers ask themselves how they should enter the white-hot area of vertical search, directories with huge amounts of detailed, proprietary, industry-specific data jump out as opportunities. Such is the case with Prism Business Media, which has begun its foray into directory-driven search with two new initiatives.
One is SourceESB.com, an outgrowth of the 20-year-old Electronics Source Book of components, products and services. Officially relaunched on June 6, the redesigned site now offers search by part number, along with direct access to distributors' inventory data so that the potential purchaser can tell whether a specific part is in stock. Where the distributor has the capability, the user can link through to buy the product online.
"For that market, when you need a component, you've got to get it fast," said Prescott Shibles, VP-new media at Prism. For ease of use, the redesign incorporates such features as one-click distributor information, lists of most frequent and most recent searches, and the ability to generate customized RFQ (request for quote) e-mails.
"The key to successful vertical search is strong data," Shibles said. "We have a strict quality control process and that's essential. Otherwise, people won't use it."
Nick Hamersley, publisher of SourceESB.com, commented that "the completely rebuilt site offers super-fast search times, highly targeted results and straightforward contact tools," with more features still to be added. "We're committed to continuing to improve the depth and breadth of the information and the options we offer for electronics parts sourcing," he said.
Registered users can search for free. SourceESB.com derives revenue from enhanced listings purchased by advertisers. The site is being marketed through print and banner advertising running with related Prism titles, including Power Electronics Technology and RF Design, as well as SourceESB's own e-newsletter. "We're also using search engine optimization, which is always a focus for us here at Prism," Shibles said.
In the second initiative, Prism has just finished creating a buyer's guide application that can be used companywide. "We've created a platform so that we can create vertical search applications for directories across multiple divisions and titles," Shibles explained.
"We built the platform in-house using open-source applications," Shibles said, adding that the effort was a result of almost unprecedented cooperation among the publishing groups, the IT group and the rich data group. "It was like the transcontinental railroad that was being built from the East Coast and the West Coast and then met in the middle. We had the data people working on content while the IT side was creating the interface."
At the same time, both groups were working to incorporate "a robust set of requirements that had come from the different publishers," Shibles said. The new directory application was piloted with the 2006 Buyers' Guide at PFFC-online.com, the Web site of PFFC (Paper, Film & Foil Converters).
"We launched the pilot in late January," Shibles said. "In the first month, we cleared more revenue than we had in the previous five or six months put together." After testing the PFFC online Buyers' Guide rigorously, Prism Business Media will roll out the technology to roughly 20 more industry directories this summer, he said.

So, a couple of weeks back, I was able to dye all my yarn for knitting up the sweater I have dreamed about for over a year. I harvested all the mushrooms for the dye from right here in Fort St. James.
These mushrooms are Cortinarius smithii, which I used to make the pink and orange colours.
Dried out Cortinarius smithii, ready to make dye.
Look at all my pretty colours!
Aftur for the basic pattern, but I am changing the yoke design to make my own pattern in it. I've also had to adjust the number of stitches I cast on, because I am such a loose knitter, I can't get the gauge right. You can read about my project notes here. I am already done knitting the main body to the armpits, now I have to knit the sleeves before I can get on to the fun part of knitting the colourful yoke. It is taking shape!

So it is not unknown that AMD has been seriously lagging behind Intel, even with their 5ghz processor. The main problem being that AMD has been more focused on extra cores/ straight ghz clock speed. Intel has more power per core, but AMD just flat out has more cores. This is a problem because games don't use more than four cores, mainly because this gen never needed more than 3 cores, but this gen has 8 cores. Also, they run AMD processors, also helping AMD optimization.
So for those who got that processor that said it has 12 cores because it's bigger, well consider this your lucky day. While I'm not saying we are going to notice an immediate change, as the consoles life span goes on devs will have to make use of more and more cores. So for those who were just throwing AMD away, think twice. It seems more and more AMD is becoming the choice for future proofing.

Trident Dagger (IF-402324)
History saw many different types of daggers, but this LARP Trident Dagger is definitely one that features a truly unique looking design. The unique shape makes it perfect for parrying and off-handed defense, although it serves well as a side-weapon, too. This weapon is modeled after one of the more ingenious daggers from history, some of which featured hinged blades that could be deployed when needed. Being made as it is, this dagger simply depicts the two hinged blades as permanently deployed, which creates a single combat blade, paired with two angled edges that are perfect for catching weapons. The weapon's guard has a downward curl that would make it quite effective, had the two extended blades not been open. The grip is wrapped to provide a secure hold and features a small, plain pommel.
This dagger has a stunning and realistic look, and it is also perfectly safe to use in your next LARP battle, thanks to how it's made. It is constructed from an extremely durable foam that does not shred, which has been sealed within a strong coating of latex. As safety is always a concern in LARP, this weapon also features a round, flexible fiberglass core that bends and flexes. The core also features a durable Kevlar cap for added protection, both against the core and for when the weapon is used to stab.
Here are some additional pictures of the Trident Dagger:
-length: 19"
-blade: 12" long x [1.75, .75]" width x .75" thick
-handle: 4" long x 1" diameter
-hilt: 4.5" wide x 2" tall x 1.25" thick
-trident: 3.5" long
-pommel: 2.25" long x 1.5" diameter
-weight: 0.15 lbs
-foam thickness depth to core on striking surface: +5/8"
-foam thickness depth to core on all non-striking surfaces: +3/8"
-foam thickness from core to end/tip: +1.5"
-foam weight: cross-linked polyethelyne, similar to Trocellen (tm)
-handle firmness: medium
-core composition: fiberglass
-weapon tip pointed
-striking surface beveled
-core capped to prevent tearing /splitting /punch-through of the foam

Ferry Building
|Associates of
The Man have stuffed heroin in the trinkets of travelers and tourists returning
to the City from the Orient in The Lineup, director Don Siegel's
1958 film noir classic. Eli Wallach is the hit man who has to retrieve
the goods from The Man's pigeons in the City with the help of a driver
who drinks because it helps him drive better, and an accomplice who writes
down the final words of each of Wallach's victims. The Lineup is the cinema's
best document of a San Francisco that's almost entirely of the past. Not
only does every man wear a hat, but detectives communicate with headquarters
via call boxes in a City teeming with sailors and death trap automobiles.
The San Francisco International Airport of 1958 looks like a bus stop compared
to today's SFO. Scenes of Pier
41 are completely void of the contemporary wharf's familiar trappings
of tourism. Wallach's face-off with The Man takes place at Sutro's,
after the baths had been closed and the main attraction was a popular skating
rink. The film's climax takes place on the Embarcadero
Freeway (it was still under construction!) where the O'Donnell
Copper Works is all that remained of the scene in 2003. Includes a
realistic but condensed pursuit from Sutro's to the Golden Gate Bridge.
Warner Anderson appears as the detective, Lt. Ben Guthrie, from The Lineup

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 17 — For Tiah Joo Kim, the son of Datuk Tony Tiah and a property tycoon ranked by Forbes as Malaysia's 35th richest man, the once-prized connection to Donald Trump has begun to lose its lustre.
Their two families' businesses are closely intertwined through the Vancouver Trump International Hotel, a 63-storey glasshouse building worth RM1.2 billion announced in 2013 and scheduled to open by month-end.
The younger Tiah and Trump's son, Donald Jr, also work closely together in their day-to-day business operations and built a bond based on their shared experience as the second-generation of their family dynasties.
But the controversies surrounding Trump's administration is now taking its toll on this relationship, according to the Financial Times that said the US president's refusal to demonstrably detach himself from his businesses could subject the Tiahs to potential scrutiny from US authorities.
The business paper said the Vancouver development — the first Trump hotel property to open since his inauguration on January 20 — highlights the potential for conflicts of interest and violations of the US Constitution since Trump is a sitting president.
Although Trump said he has put his share of the family business into a blind trust, he has not publicly released documents to demonstrate how far removed he is from the multiple business that range from property to retail.
According to FT, Trump's 2016 financial disclosure also showed that he received nearly US$36,000 (RM160,488) in management fees from "THC Vancouver Management Corp", while fees from other Trump-run properties go up to millions of dollars.
A US citizens' groups is also suing over a financial link between Beijing and the Vancouver development, through a third-party based in Hong Kong, claiming that Trump was violating the law by accepting payments from another government.
"Like some of Mr Trump's other properties, the Vancouver development raises the risk of violating the emoluments clause in the US constitution prohibiting elected officials from receiving benefits from foreign governments," the paper wrote.
The claims are notwithstanding the continued allegations linking Trump and his administration to the Kremlin, both politically and financially
The Vancouver hotel project is developed and owned by Tiah Global, where the younger Tiah is chief executive, while the Trump Organisation receives fees for licensing its name as well as additional "incentives" if revenue targets are met.
But even before Trump won the US presidency and ran smack into the controversy-ridden first weeks of his administration, he had run a divisive campaign that led the Tiahs to previously say they were considering selling the project.
Trump's remarks about women and minorities, in particular, had put immense pressure on his business partners to distance themselves from his politics.
"The building comes to represent the worst in humankind with that name on it: bullying, sexism and intolerance," Vancouver city councillor Kerry Jang told FT.
Jang and other city politicians including Vancouver's mayor are now working to have the Trump name scrubbed from the tower.
The younger Tiah outwardly defended the Trump family and told FT that he will not bow to pressure to cut ties with them or submit to the efforts to rename the building.
"I am locked in with the contract," he said in an interview with the Financial Times.
But he also told FT that the US president's family was "aware I'm under pressure but what am I going to do? From a business standpoint they haven't done anything wrong."
The Tiah family's wealth comes from Tony Tiah, the chairman of TA Enterprise in Malaysia. The firm owns and controls an array of businesses that span from property to financial services.
The Tiah family is also no stranger to controversy. The elder Tiah was fined in 1999 with helping businessman Datuk Soh Chee Wen defraud Omega Securities, a midsized stock brokerage firm.

Bellybelly.com of Australia recently put together a little list of 'Rules' to follow when visiting a new baby. You can read the actual article here, but not until you've given me a little time to explain what I have up my sleeve today :)
So you may all know I am expecting a little one soon, July 16th to be exact so I thought it would be a perfect time to revisit this classic topic...Visitors after baby arrives. Well, I love visitors! I think just in general I do, especially when we have a new baby in the house, when visitors come over it shows that they care about me and my family. I love to host them and enjoy conversation.
So basically the article discusses things you should and should not do when visiting a family or friend with a brand new spanking baby right?
Here let me shed some light on how I feel: Times have changed, maybe not by much but alot has. Our land has become exceptionally diverse and with so many ethnic backgrounds to appreciate there is bound to be lots of preference. What I do appreciate from the Bellybelly article is that those 'Rules' become sort of a base of what you actually should be following but more or less you get the point as you read...But let me say it again though, Times have changed. We don't live on the set of Leave it to Beaver and we certainly do not all live in a white picket fenced home. I have birthed and raised 4 children and I'm expecting my 5th, if anyone can contribute a few pointers about first time visiting a newborn baby it be me...
Here is my response to the 10 Rules for Visiting a New Baby, Enjoy!
Bellybelly says #1 Wait to be invited.
My Response- The only rule of this article that I have a gigantic problem with. Wait to be invi---Are you kidding me? OK here is what I've experienced as the visitor, in my family we don't just wait, we call up, confirm if they are busy, ask if its OK to drop by and we do. I come from a Latino/Hispanic background where we can't just say hello unless its 2 minutes long and has a mixture of English and Tex-Mex in there. Some people are just too modest, if we wait to be invited to see a baby, baby would be in preschool by then. Here is my take on visiting - The home rule and the hospital rule are about equally the same. Almost everyone loves visitors at the hospital. Yes there are times when visiting is awkward especially in the hospital setting but everyone has that at some point or else we would never have visitors in there. Let me just be blunt - Patients love to be remembered even if they are ugly, tired, and exhausted from 20 hrs of labor. Just go visit the mother and baby. It's not rocket science, they are your friends or family. Nothing bad can come from it. It shows that you care for them. When they go home, just call. It's as simple as that.
Bellybelly says #2 Know when to say away.
My Response- No, really Sherlock I was going to visit the newborn baby while I am 2 minutes away from reaching a 105 temp from this really bad flu bug that I've been bed-ridden since 3 days ago. Goodness. Gracious.
Bellybelly says #3 Bring Food!
My Response- OK, now they're really starting to understand Latino/Hispanic heritage! Agreed! Let's move on....
Bellybelly says #4 Assume the Role of the Host.
My Response- It's perfectly fine to do this but I wouldn't be expecting much from a person or couple that just had a baby, if I wanted to drink something I would have gotten a bottle soda from the corner store beforehand.
Bellybelly says #5 Help out, Be an extra pair of hands.
My Response- This rule goes back to my experience being on the other side....As a visitor I always ask first. I'm not going to just walk away and start separating the whites from the darks and get the wash going but I will always ask first if they'd like me to do a little cleaning like wash dishes, throw out the trash, sweep, clean bottles, tidy up the bathroom, etc. I was once visiting a new baby in a home with 3 extra adults not including the mommy and 2 teens, so sometimes the extra pair of hands is not needed. Yes, this rule is pretty legit, but Ask First.
Bellybelly says #6 Wait to be offered to hold the baby.
My Response- Absolutely...But don't be afraid to ask. On that same note, don't douse yourself with that expensive perfume. A serious commenter on the article expresses to she had to change the baby's clothes and when it wasn't enough to make the scent disappear she had to bathe the baby..."Please, don't wear heavy perfume." I agree with that gal 100%.
Bellybelly says #7 Know when to give the baby back.
My Response- Grandma or Grandpa, Out- of- town- relatives- that- only- get- to- see- this- family- about- 3 times- a- year and future Godparents I think are the only exceptions to this rule...hahaha what if the visitor is a mixture of all 3? Visitors are not going to keep the baby, if they hog the baby then consider your family a very loving family, not all are blessed to be as such.
Bellybelly says #8 Be Sure to Only Say Nice Things.
My Response- Yes, I agree. Moving on....
Bellybelly says #9 Don't Expect too much.
My Response- Like what? A very clean house? The parents of the newborn looking glammed up ready to attend the Oscars? I've visited many families and their newborns and many have visited me and my newborn, nothing has changed...I've always seen what I've expected and they have always expected what they saw. What a waste of a #9 especially if you have any common sense.
Bellybelly says #10 Don't outstay your welcome.
My Response- "*sarcastically* I was going to kick up my feet and watch The Walking Dead marathon while the baby cries in the background!" We all might not know what time we should bounce but I agree an hour is a good time frame for visiting...Unless you have relatives like mine and they just started the grill and have asked you to stay for dinner complete with a few cold ones, a dessert cake, and grandma has just made all the rice, potato salad, and beans enough to feed a Marine Corps Battalion.
Bellybelly says #11 Don't forget Mum!
My Response- Ah yes, we love the attention but let's not forget the real reason visitors are visiting though, the baby!

I got a chance to watch Snowpiercer last night. Basic idea is the world has frozen over, but before it did someone had the idea to build a thousands of miles long rail road track that circled the world. People were allowed to buy tickets and hitch a ride on humanities last hope.
Some bought tickets, some jumped on without paying. Fast forward 17 years and you have some dystopian future where the world is incapsulated on a train between the have nots and the haves. The haves are utterly hedonistic, spending their lives doing nothing and the have nots are utterly doing nothing with their lives. I supposed if I lived in a metal box I wouldn't do a whole lot either.
The movie's setting was bad ass. The characters cool, acting, writing all of it. Really good actually. I don't buy into the whole have and have nots theme but I know its popular with the hollywood writers now. All in all a fun movie (if a bit grim even for a dystopian future, even the Walking Dead holds out hope).
My only real problem was the how the train came to be, but really in the big scope of things on the big screen, that isn't a very big thing.
Go and enjoy the flick. Its fun. Just don't think about the train angle..it will just cause confusion and delay.

ST. LOUIS —Anyone who watched Nolan Arenado this season has a story to tell about his defense.
That play on Marco Scutaro's bunt in San Francisco. Throwing out San Diego's Cameron Maybin with a bare-handed stab and flip. The ridiculous double-play turn in Miami, Arenado's personal favorite.
Arenado would be in select company if he wins the honor Tuesday night. Arenado, 22, is attempting to become just the second rookie third baseman to win a gold glove, joining Boston's Frank Malzone in 1957.
"Hopefully it happens," Arenado said.
Only nine rookies have won the gold glove. Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki nearly joined the list in 2007 but was edged by the Phillies' Jimmy Rollins. The full list:
3B — Malzone, Red Sox, 1957
2B — Ken Hubbs, Cubs, 1962
OF — Tommie Agee, White Sox, 1966
OF — Fred Lynn, Red Sox, 1975
OF — Ichiro Suzuki, Mariners, 2001
C — Johnny Bench, Reds, 1968
C — Carlton Fisk, Red Sox, 1972
C — Sandy Alomar Jr., Indians, 1990
C — Charles Johnson, Marlins, 1995
Arenado committed 11 errors in 411 chances and ranked first in zone rating according to baseball-reference.com. He's competing against the Mets' David Wright and the Dodgers' Juan Uribe.

Made chocolate fudge for Xmas presents for my colleagues. Decided to do this after watching Nigella's Christmas. I managed to find the recipe on her website. Not a fan of pistachios, so just switched to silvered almonds instead. I can't seem to find a 23cm disposable square pan as required in the recipe, so I ended up using my springform pan instead. Thought there should not be any difference since no baking is required. :P
Oh well, there's no difference untill the unmoulding part. It's not possible to remove the entire fudge from the pan and cut it on a clean board. With a disposable aluminium pan, you just need to tear away the sides and the fudge will come off. And.. the humidity here does not help at all... After every 15mins, I have to pop the whole tray back into the fridge to harden the fudge again, so that it does not smudge the bags.
Taste wise, the fudge really tasted quite good, not too sweet, just nice for me. Process wise is really pretty idiot proof and if you stick to the disposable pan, you will be pretty safe.. hee.. I packed 4 pieces in each bag, and manage to get about 18 packs. Pack them into your freezer till ready to distribute. :)

'In my recent experience, a lack of focus on return on investment has led to a number of unsuccessful product outcomes and identified a gap in my knowledge. Testing is rooted in return on investment (time, effort, thought) and more empathy with a Product Owner and the decisions made can help focus testing on what's really important.'
- The course I am about to embark on is theory. Theory is a good grounding but context remains as the focus. I remind myself, 'there are no best practices only good practices in context.'
- The skills I learn will be added to my overall toolkit, for me, the certification is arbitrary but welcome. The expansion of the tools I have is the aim.
- Quality can be defined as value to 'some person.' That 'some person' may have a stake in the Product. I'll bear this in mind when discussing quality on the course.
- Testing and return on investment are interdependent. Development on a product can be subject to a similar law of diminishing returns as the amount of testing executed is.
- Acknowledge the bias I bring to the course. I approach the course as a tester, which influences my focus and aims.
- Make my mission available to all participants, accept challenges and critically assess that mission on a continuous basis.
- Listen (yes, I do need to remind myself to do this)
- Learn, engage with the new, and contrast that with your current world view.
- Identify where the knowledge is of use to you in the 'real world.' Plan to apply that.
So, those are my thoughts, I sincerely hope that what I learn will dramatically change these ideas. I will create a review blog and let you know how I got on!

(9 September 2011) Astrium Services and Japanese geospatial solutions provider PASCO have signed a partnership agreement – the first for the Pléiades constellation for very-high-resolution satellite imagery.
The partnership agreement between PASCO Corporation and Astrium Services gives the company access to Pléiades solutions and technologies. The agreement reflects PASCO's confidence in the growth of the very-high-resolution market, with imagery acquired by highly agile and responsive satellites. In Japan, PASCO will distribute 50-cm resolution products from the Pléiades constellation as well as innovative services to support near-real-time applications.
As a subscriber to Pléiades Direct Access Services, PASCO will offer its customers preferential access to Pléiades data. The satellite's extreme agility coupled with multiple acquisition modes makes the Pléiades system very responsive to specific user requirements. Local production units will be able to deliver ortho-rectified products within 30 minutes. In addition, the image acquisition and production interface ensures the highest levels of efficiency and confidentiality.
"Adding Pléiades to our portfolio of satellite products enables us to guarantee to our customers the best optical solutions. And the combination of Pléiades and TerraSAR-X data will contribute to gathering detailed information of the nation's natural disasters such as earthquake and floods, and will mean we can develop new and advanced solutions to further fulfil the information requirements of our valued customers," said Mr Yoichi Sugimoto, President & CEO of PASCO Corporation.
" Our Japanese partners will now be able to offer ready-to-use imagery in one hour from the time of tasking: cutting-edge reactivity for satellites in this class, " said Patrick Le Roch, GEO-Information Director at Astrium Services, "This coupled with a product resolution of 50cm will provide Japan with an outstanding solution for precision mapping as well as crisis management".
The partnership between PASCO and Astrium Services was established in 2003, when the Japanese company acquired a Pixel Factory, Astrium's unique industrial system used to produce 3D mapping products. In 2005, PASCO became the exclusive distributor of TerraSAR-X radar satellite data to the Japanese market. The 2011 Pléiades distribution agreement marks a new phase in this successful long-term collaboration between the two companies.

About Trace Modes
Peak: In this mode, as the antenna crosses the cable, the Receiver speaker volume increases to a maximum and the bar graph fills from both sides toward the middle. As the antenna moves off the cable path, the speaker volume decreases and the bar graph opens.
Peak with
Special Peak Mode: This mode will increase the signal sensitivity of the Receiver when the signal is too weak for normal tracing. Use special attention when using this mode because it is more susceptible to congestion than the
normal peak mode. To select Special Peak mode, press and hold then press. While in this mode the Peak flag will flash.
Note: While tracing cables in any mode, keep the Receiver handle in line with the suspected cable path.
See section Initial Receiver Configuration (Page 3)to set the power frequency to 50 Hz or 60 Hz. The Receiver can be tuned to locate 3 different harmonics of the chosen power frequency.
H50 Hz orH60 Hz (high harmonic): Best for general locating of passive power.
L50 Hz orL60 Hz (low harmonic): Works best on primary power cables. May be used when high harmonic is weak or erratic.
100 Hz or120 Hz: For locating rectified AC power signals, often found on pipelines using impressed current cathodic protection.
When a Power frequency is selected, the Hz symbol will flash, indicating that alternate frequencies are available. To change the selected power frequency, press and hold then pressto select the next Power frequency.
