text: Do you guys feel these are necessary in your set-ups? So far I have had LimbSavers on all of my bows and have yet to purchase a set for the Bengal. Debating doing so in general, but in between the BowJax and the LS Ultra Quads. Not that I'm obsessed with speed, but I have read that they will rob you a little and if you aren't having much vibration/noise then they wouldn't really be necessary, no? Just wondering what everyone thinks.

Mathias Frank soloed to win his first race in nearly four years Wednesday and give the BMC Racing Team its second straight victory at the Tour of Austria.
'Perfect Stage For Me'
Frank had been part of the day's original, nine-man breakaway and was first to summit the Grossglockner, the highest mountain in Austria (2,504 meters). With two kilometers to go in the 146-km race, he attacked what was left of the escape group and soloed in eight seconds ahead of runner-up Chris Anker Sorensen (Team Saxo-Tinkoff) and Matija Kvasina (Team Gourmetfein-Simplon), who was third. "I knew this was the perfect stage for me," Frank said. "I was in the first move at the beginning and we really had to push hard on the Grossglockner because there were a lot of attacks from behind. But I could I feel I was riding strong. I haven't won so many races so this is really nice." Frank's last victory was the overall of the Grand Prix Tell in Switzerland in August of 2009. In May, he helped teammate Tejay van Garderen win the Amgen Tour of California while finishing fourth himself. At the Tour de Suisse last month, he was second on Stage 2 to take the race lead, which he held for five days. BMC Assistant Director Jackson Stewart said he knew Frank had the form to win a stage. "It took him a while to come around from some sickness and his crash at nationals, but he was really motivated today," he said. "I went up to him in the car after the first climb – which was really hard – and he said he was feeling good." Frank's success follows Tuesday's stage win by BMC Racing Team Norwegian national road champion Thor Hushovd ahead of teammate Daniel Oss. With four days of the race to go, Kevin Seeldraeyers (Astana Pro Team) leads the race overall.

FBP Federal Bureau Of Physics #6
Writer: Simon Oliver • Artist: Robbi Rodriguez
When the newest member of the team is introduced, nothing is what it first appears - again! The agents of the FBP have learned to deal with unruly physics, but can they learn to deal with each other? The turbulent nature of the FBP gets even crazier in issue #6.

Ze rules:
Post your review in the forum thread or in the comments section here on the front page.
Review as often or as little as you like. Once you've posted 5 reviews, you will be awarded 1 pick. You can post 5 reviews, right? That's a totally achievable goal and with day and date digital releases becoming the standard, it shouldn't matter if your shop ordered enough copies of this weeks comic or not.
When multiple Review Groupers have posted 5 (or more) qualifying reviews, they will be awarded their pick in the order that they qualified. What constitutes a qualifying review? Any review posted (with a score on a scale from 0-10, that's right 0!) within 1 calendar month of the thread going live. Reviews are to be at least 5 sentences long. It shows that a) you have at least read this week's pick and b) you have some unique insight into the comic.
Reviews posted while waiting in line for your pick will be applied to your next pick.
I'll be keeping track of everyone's progress with the newly christened Spreadsheet of Fantastic (RIP, Spreadsheet of Doom) and reporting the results in the Current Members list in the weekly OP. When it's your turn to make a pick, I will PM you. If you do not respond to me by Midnight EST the following Sunday, you will lose your pick and I will start a poll to determine that week's selection.
Any week in which we do not have a Review Grouper with 5 qualifying picks, we will determine the week's comic via poll.
If it's your week to pick, remember to keep it under $3.99.

About the Author - GHERU
RU, or as he's known in the writers' room: the cute one, is relatively unappreciated in his time. RU's YouTube show, RUviews is watched by literally multiple people every month and his Outhouse articles have helped line many a bird cage. Before you send RU a message, he knows that there are misspelled words in this article, and probably in this bio he was asked to write. RU wants everyone to know that after 25+ years of collecting he still loves comic books and can't believe how seriously fanboys take them. RU lives in Akron Ohio (unfortunately) with WIFE, 'lilRuRu, and the @DogGodThor. You can also find him on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, & even Google+ (if anyone still uses that).

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Staff Reviews Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Focal Polyglass 130 VR by Buck Pomerantz Why install component speakers? A component speaker system gives you the best possible performance from your car audio system. A system consists of separate woofers, tweeters, and crossovers, each designed to cover one specific range of frequencies. As separate components, the woofer can move freely to deliver more powerful performance, while the tweeter can be custom-mounted in a better spot up closer to your ears, revealing a whole new world of detail. Separate crossovers are far superior to the simple filters wired into full-range speakers, so the components work together for smoother, more focused sound. Focal's Polyglass VR component speaker systems use precision craftmanship and advanced materials to make a strong sonic impression. Each system includes two tweeters, two woofers, two crossover networks, grilles, and assorted hardware. 2-layer woofer cone The 130 VR system features a 5-1/4" woofer with a Polyglass cone that's created by depositing a layer of hollow glass microbeads over a layer of cellulose pulp. This unique material combines the warm sound of cellulose with the incredible strength of glass, for a cone that responds rapidly with extremely low resonance. A butyl rubber surround helps control cone movement and promotes high power handling. The zamak (zinc alloy) basket provides a non-magnetic, non-resonant housing that won't color the sound. Unique tweeter design Focal designed the aluminum/magnesium inverted dome tweeter to disperse high frequencies evenly for a big, open soundstage. The external 2-way crossover ensures a smooth transition from lows to highs, so vocals and instruments sound natural. You can select from 3 tweeter levels to get the right balance in your vehicle. Grilles are included.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Woofer Tweeter Crossover Dimensions Woofer Polyglass Cone: The woofer cone has a cellulose pulp base and is coated with a uniform deposit of hollow glass microballs. The addition of the Polyglass layer significantly increases the cone's rigidity without adding much weight. This combination takes advantage of the accuracy and neutrality of the hard outer surface, but maintains the superior damping characteristics of the cellulose pulp. Surround: The butyl rubber surround is resistant to ultraviolet rays, temperature extremes, and humidity to add to the speaker's reliability and longevity. Phase Plug: The bullet-shaped aluminum phase plug in the center of the woofer ensures a smooth, flat off-axis frequency response by preventing the high frequency sound waves emanating from one side of the cone from interfering with sound waves from the other side of the cone. Zamak Basket: The woofer features a cast Zamak basket. Zamak is a rigid alloy of Zinc, Aluminum, Magnesium, and Copper. Zamak is non-magnetic. Voice Coil: The voice coil is wound around a 1-1/4" diameter low-mass Kapton former, ensuring no coil deformation. Tweeter Inverted Dome Tweeter: The tweeter is an inverted aluminum/magnesium dome, producing a broad sound stage. The tweeter has a Neodymium magnet to provide a powerful magnetic field for the voice coil, while still maintaining the tweeter's compact dimensions. Mounting Options: The tweeter can be surface or flush mounted using the included adapters. Focal recommends flush mounting, but the included angled cup allows surface mounting at one of two angles; approximately 10° and approximately 30°. Crossover Components: Focal uses audiophile grade polypropylene capacitors and air core inductors to ensure high definition and a dynamic sound quality. Tweeter Level: You can adjust the output level of the tweeter on the crossover to -6 dB, -3 dB, or 0 dB. Crossover Slopes: The crossover uses 2nd order, 12 dB per octave low-pass and high-pass filters. The crossover frequency for both is 4,000 Hz. Wiring: The inputs and outputs are screw terminals; they will accept bare wire or spade connectors up to 0.3" wide.

It's the same product just a bigger woofer. And the tweeters scream. The highs are so clear at high volumes it's amazing. No distortion at all. Of course I have them powered by an amp that is pushing 75 watts rms/channel. I don't think I need to tell you but you will want an amplifier for these. If not you're wasting your money. I rated them a 4 because they don't have much bass. But that's what your subs are for. These were my first focals and now I wont buy anything else, and if you can afford them I wouldn't recommend anything else either. 12 out of 18 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

So many organizations and witnesses are set to weigh in on California American Water's proposed water supply project that upcoming state Public Utilities Commission hearings could extend into a ninth day.
In all, 40 witnesses from 13 organizations are expected to testify, and be cross-examined, during evidentiary hearings on the Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project set to start at 10 a.m. Tuesday at PUC headquarters in San Francisco.
A hearing schedule provided by Cal Am said more than 41 hours of testimony and questioning is expected during the hearings, prompting the addition of another day.
The schedule calls for the hearings to continue through the end of the week, then pick up the following week with sessions set for Monday through Thursday. A ninth session has been set for April 30, but could be canceled if all scheduled testimony is concluded by the second week.
The hearings will be overseen by PUC Administrative Law Judge Gary Weatherford.
Cal Am spokeswoman Catherine Bowie said those testifying "will be representing local agencies and groups, which demonstrates the widespread involvement and interest in our project on the part of the Monterey Peninsula community."
"It's important," Bowie added, "the commission hear from all sides in this phase of the proceeding, as the administrative law judge will base his proposed decision on the evidence that is presented."
Next week's testimony is expected to come mostly from Cal Am officials, who will lay out the company's project plans, including the physical and operational details, cost and financing.
Keith Israel, Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency general manager, will also testify regarding the groundwater replenishment project proposed as a potential supplement to Cal Am's water supply project.
The second week of testimony is set to start with PUC Division of Ratepayer Advocates officials, followed by the Planning and Conservation League, including former state legislator Fred Keeley; the Salinas Valley Water Coalition; Public Trust Alliance; Citizens for Public Water; the Peninsula mayors' Regional Water Authority; the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District; the city of Pacific Grove; and the Surfrider Foundation.
April 30 testimony is scheduled to include officials from WaterPlus, the Marina Coast Water District and the Coalition of Peninsula Businesses.
After the hearings, Cal Am will be allowed time to provide a formal written response to the testimony. Judge Weatherford will consider all the evidence in the record before issuing a proposed decision on the project expected by fall.
Cal Am is seeking a permit for a water supply project capable of providing a replacement source of water for the Peninsula, which is facing the loss of about two-thirds of its water supply due to a state-ordered cutback in pumping from the Carmel River set to take full effect at the start of 2017.
The project includes a Cal Am-owned desalination plant north of Marina, which would draw brackish feeder water from shoreline wells nearby, along with aquifer storage and recovery, and possibly groundwater replenishment, or recycled wastewater.

Vatican astronomer Guy Consolmagno will give a public talk about 'The Galileo Wars: 30 Years and Four Centuries' at UM-Dearborn on Oct. 12
October 2, 2009
DEARBORN / Oct. 2, 2009---Brother Guy Consolmagno, an astronomer at the Vatican Observatory, will give a public talk about "The Galileo Wars: 30 Years and Four Centuries" on Oct. 12 at the University of Michigan-Dearborn as part of the campuss recognition of the International Year of Astronomy, which commemorates the 400th anniversary of Galileo's first use of a telescope in 1609.
Consolmagnos presentation, which is free and open to the public, will take place at 1 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 12 in Room 1500 of the campuss Social Sciences building.
The Vatican Observatory is one of the oldest astronomical research institutions in the world, headquartered at the papal summer residence in Castel Gandolfo, Italy.
Consolmagno, who was born in Detroit, is curator of the Vatican meteorite collection, one of the largest in the world. His research explores the connections between meteorites and asteroids, and the origin and evolution of small bodies in the solar system.
In 1996, Consolmagno spent six weeks collecting meteorites with a National Science Foundation-sponsored team on the blue ice of Antarctica, and in 2000 he was honored by the International Astronomical Union for his contributions to the study of meteorites and asteroids with the naming of asteroid 4597 Consolmagno.
Consolmagno earned bachelors and masters degrees in earth and planetary sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a Ph.D. in planetary science at the University of Arizona. Consolmagno, who entered the Jesuit order in 1989 and took vows as a Jesuit brother in 1991, studied philosophy and theology at Loyola University, Chicago, and physics at the University of Chicago before his assignment to the Vatican Observatory in 1993.
For more information on Consolmagnos talk, call Carrie Swift, assistant professor of physics and astronomy at UM-Dearborn, at 313-436-9116.

Promise of Freedom: The Emancipation Proclamation
Fairfield (Connecticut) Museum and History Center will hold a unique and groundbreaking exhibition – Promise of Freedom: The Emancipation Proclamation -- from September 23, 2012 through February 24, 2013. The exhibition, the only one of its kind in New England and which commemorates the 150th anniversary of the official signing of the Proclamation will showcase a Lincoln-signed copy, as well as an equally valuable Lincoln-signed copy of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, abolishing slavery.
This nationally-significant exhibition, made possible through grants from the Connecticut Humanities Council, Fairfield County Community Foundation, Fairfield University, People's United Bank, JP Morgan and Newman's Own will also feature other fascinating documents, paintings and artifacts that narrate this decisive moment in the quest for human freedom. In addition, iconic photographs from the modern civil rights movement will show how the struggle for equality continued for more than 100 years after emancipation. The overall focus will be on the history of slavery, and how Lincoln's declaration that "all persons held as slaves…shall be, then, thenceforward, and forever free," started the long journey towards emancipation that eventually freed more than 4 million Americans from bondage.
Visitors will be able to explore America's quest for freedom through an important series of educational programs commemorating the 150th Anniversary of the Proclamation. The programs will examine contemporary scholarship on the subject of slavery and freedom from the Civil War to the Civil Rights movement forward to the present day.

text: Just curious if you can buy black ops paint in a spay can. I have looked a few places (home depot, manards, etc) and no go. I know you can take it to a paint shop and have it done, but for the price they want I could almost buy another bow. A friend said just do it in flat or matte black but just not the same. Anyone tryed or have done something like this to their own bow? Some of you do-it-your-self guys must have tackled a new paint job.

Today's students rely on technology for both their academic and social lives, and though some see it as a barrier to concentration in the classroom, others, like Mark Frydenberg are embracing it as a key teaching strategy. It was this core strategy and belief that propelled Mark to rethink the former CIS (Computer Information Systems) Tutoring Lab, and transform it into the CIS Learning and Technology Sandbox, a state-of-the-art learning space that opened this fall in the Smith Academic Technology Center, room 234, adjacent to the Trading Room.

Handling up to 250 watts RMS, it keeps the party going whether you're on the water or in the marina.Designed specifically for marine and powersports applications, this sub stands up to the extremes of wind, water, salt, and sun. The injection-molded polypropylene cone is made with UV inhibitors, while the TPE (Thermo-Plastic Elastomer) surround resists punishing sunlight and moisture. The removable 16-gauge stainless steel grille cover looks great and withstands corrosion.Inside the sub, magnetic shielding helps you stay on course by minimizing the electromagnetic interference that can affect your guidance systems. Proprietary corrosion-resistant, gold-plated terminals and a fully insulated, ultra-flexible lead wire help ensure reliable performance. This sub is suitable for use in sealed, vented or infinite baffle installations.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Marine Tested: Rockford Fosgate's M210S4 marine subwoofer is subjected to ASTM B117 and ASTM D4329 test standards to ensure it can withstand the corrosive effects of salt/fog, as well as sunlight, moisture, and heat. Woofer: The subwoofer features an injection-molded, mineral filled parabolic polypropylene cone with UV inhibitors. The TPE (Thermo-Plastic Elastomer) surround is also UV and salt/fog resistant. Centrex Basket: The basket and other plastic parts are made of UV stable Centrex injection molded plastic. Magnetic Shielding: The motor structure is magnetically shielded to reduce the potential for electromagnetic interference. Compression Terminals: The M210S4 features spring terminals which accommodate pin connectors, single banana plugs, dual banana plugs (standard 3/4" width) or bare speaker wire up to 10 gauge. VAST Surround: The Vertical Attach Surround Technique (VAST) increases a speaker's effective radiating cone area without increasing the size of the basket. FlexFit Basket: The Flex Fit frame utilizes slots (where possible) instead of single screw sized holes; allowing slight adjustment of the speaker when mounted. Mounting Hardware: Marine-grade stainless-steel mounting screws are included. Enclosure: The M210S4 can be mounted in a sealed or ported box, or in an infinite-baffle (free-air) application. The optimum internal volume of a sealed enclosure is 0.75 cubic feet (from 0.5 to 0.85 cubic feet is acceptable). The 0.75 cubic foot enclosure yields a -3dB point of 60.6 Hz. The best ported enclosure volume is 1.25 cubic feet using one 4" diameter x 8.52" long port; this yields a tuning frequency of 48.6 Hz and a -3dB point of 40 Hz.

The phenomenon of increased violence committed by some extremists in the name of animal rights is a growing cause for concern. In a major conference organized by Europol and Eurojust, 58 experts from law enforcement and prosecution authorities, plus representatives from 35 private sector organizations, met last week at Europol's new headquarters in The Hague to discuss the issues behind this new trend.
Europol says that while the defense of the rights of animals and their welfare is legitimate and fully supported by European Union institutions, the increase in violence by extremists remains a concern for all of the conference participants. An example is the increased use of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and Improvised Incendiary Devices (IIDs).
Violent animal rights extremists do not hesitate in sending threatening e-mails or making warning phone calls to their targets, often intimidating their family and committing physical assaults on their property, in so-called home visits. This has resulted in arson attacks on cars and property.
Single-issue extremist groups are also actively targeting the fur and pharmaceutical industries. This has included the mass release of animals and the destruction of feeding and water installations for the animals. Another tendency is that single-issue extremist groups (including anarchist groups) are supporting each others' causes more and more.
"The conference at Europol's new headquarters was an important milestone in these efforts." says Rob Wainwright, director of Europol.
Together with a tactical meeting held at Eurojust in April 2011 on the same topic, the conference clearly identified the need for a wider exchange of information to provide the member states' authorities with a clear picture of ongoing criminal activities. There is a tendency to underestimate the importance of the phenomenon and of the links between criminal actions committed in different countries. Forensic analysis clearly demonstrates that some attacks committed in the EU have used the same modus operandi and that the devices used are similarly manufactured.
From the discussions at the conference, it became obvious that the violent criminal activities are often orchestrated at an international level. To this end, speakers said there was a need for increased law enforcement coordination at an international level, as well as more awareness on a local police and judicial level.
The conference recommendations include:
- Encouraging member states' authorities to prevent and fight all forms of violent criminal extremism and developing, at an EU level, a renewed dialogue on animal protection and animal welfare to allow all concerned parties to express their needs and concerns in a democratic way
- Exploring the possibility of sharing technical data with the relevant parts of the corporate security community and their branch organizations, respecting the data protection regulations within Europol and Eurojust's existing legal frameworks
- Developing a common strategy with the corporate security community to further cooperation between EU institutions and the relevant parts of the private sector.
The above recommendations were supported by a conclusion that called for increased information exchange with Europol and Eurojust on attacks, prosecutions and convictions in animal rights extremism cases. This will lead to the identification of good practice, increased sharing of experience and ultimately a more efficient and coordinated approach in tackling the phenomenon.

This interview was conducted in spring 2011 by Mira Kruger, the granddaughter of a pulmonary hypertension patient and a volunteer writer for PHA's Pathlight newsletter.Where do you live?I live in Port Angeles, Washington State.
How old are you?I am 11 years old.
When were you first diagnosed?I was diagnosed in the summer of 2006, right before I started second grade.
When did you first start having symptoms of pulmonary hypertension?I had my tonsils taken out, and my oxygen levels kept dropping after that surgery.
What were your symptoms?I don't really remember having symptoms, but my mom said I used to just stop sometimes while I was playing.
What activities do you like to do?I love to read and color. I also like playing on the computer and riding my adult-sized tricycle.
Have you ever felt unable to do something because of PH?I can't play sports, but that's okay because I don't really like sports anyhow. I can still play on the swing at the park, though, because I have a backpack for my oxygen.
How has your life changed since you've been diagnosed with PH?I am homeschooled now because going to school full time was too tiring. I like being homeschooled because I can work on what I want when I want.
What is a message you'd like to pass on to other kids with PH?Don't worry if you have to get a central line. It might bother you a little bit at first, but it doesn't hurt. Sometimes I even forget it's there.

Company Perks; important or trivial?
9 comments post a comment
With a war for top tech talent being waged in Silicon Valley and other hi-tech hubs around the country, firms have been leaning heavily on company perks as a recruitment strategy.
Free gourmet food, plush offices, personal training sessions at the corporate gym and time off to develop pet projects; more and more firms are upping the stakes to win potential employees over. But do the perks really matter? And more importantly, do they matter to you?
Does a lower salary at a firm with free lunches and dinners tweak your fancy? Does the prospect of 20 percent free time to work on a personal project entice you to take a job you might otherwise not have really considered? Or is it all just a nice added bonus? The cherry on top of the cake in a company you already want to work for?
I ask because recently a friend at Apple told me the company had started offering its employees better perks, taking a leaf out of Googles book. In the past, the company had reasoned that prestige alone was enough for engineers to want to work there. Indeed, my contacts at Microsoft told me similar stories in the past, including tales of taking paycuts to work for more prestigious business units within the firm, like the Xbox group, for instance.
But the times they are a changin. Apples mysterious new perk program is being dubbed "Blue Sky" and involves having selected employees spend a few weeks working on special projects. The firm also offers free dinner to employees, though many cynically see this as a ploy to get people to work later than they usually would.
Google is of course notorious for its campus treats. The firm offers perks like free haircuts, laundry services, fully equipped gyms, swimming pools, gaming rooms, on-site medical staff, and more. Its as if the firm wants you to keep your work/life balance at work!
So, would you trade some salary for perks? Is there really no such thing as a free lunch? Let me know how you feel about the perk culture and whether it appeals to or appalls you.

The 3-year-old center is run by the city Recreation and Community Services Department, with input from the Patterson Senior Center Board, an all-volunteer advisory panel that reports to city staff members and the Patterson City Council.
Board member Mary Bennett and her husband, Ken, introduced a plan at the board meeting Tuesday, March 19, to take over daily operations of the center.
According to the plan, a sworn commission of seniors would report directly to City Manager Rod Butler.
"Commissioners take an oath of office," Mary Bennett said. "(The board) is not a commission. We do not set the rules. When people take an oath, they take the position seriously."
The proposed commission is modeled on a similar commission in Ripon. It would have six members appointed by the City Council — five voting members and an alternate — who would split up the duties of running the center from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays, when seniors occupy the building for classes and activities.
Each commissioner would take on one or two tasks from a list of such duties as finance, front-desk work, computer room supervision, rental of the building, activities, bingo, special events, fundraisers and guest speakers, Mary Bennett said.
She stressed that any changes to the rules would have to be approved by the City Council.
The Bennetts also discussed the idea of a governing commission during the March 5 regular City Council meeting, and some council members seemed open to discuss their ideas. But most seniors at the Tuesday board meeting were leery.
Mark Jones, vice president of the board, questioned the thoroughness of the one-page plan that was handed to board members and senior citizens in attendance Tuesday.
"The devil is in the details," Jones said. "I have questions and concerns. A vast majority of the changes can be made under the current board."
Board Secretary Mary Gong said she thought the advisory board was sufficient to manage the center.
Lena Dumont, former board president, also opposed the Bennetts' suggestion.
"I just think at this time the seniors aren't ready," she said. "If it's not broke, why change it?"
Mary Bennett said after the meeting that some officers of the board had been lax about their roles, and she thought a commission would be taken more seriously. She also said local seniors needed greater control of their programs.
"We need to run this more as a business and give the stockholders a say," she said.
She asked near the end of the meeting that seniors write down questions and comments for the City Council to review.
A workshop with the board and senior citizens is planned at 10 a.m. Thursday, March 28, at the senior center to work on plans that could be presented to the City Council for approval, she said.

When the Union College Board of Trustees called Wagner out of semi-retirement to return to Union as interim president, he expected to stay just long enough for the board to find a permanent replacement for David Smith. Now, just a half a school year later, the board has removed the "interim" and asked Wagner to stay on as president.

"Pendantif Guepes" : Signed R. Lalique Art Nouveau Wasp Pendant
René Lalique has long been recognized as one of the foremost designers of jewelry and glass work which spanning the eras of Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau and Art Deco. Whether creating a stunning vase, simple paperweight or item of jewelry, this genius elevated glass as an art material to be placed in a showcase alongside precious gemstones and rare metals. His first artistic venture led him to the the incorporation of glass in jewelry which he sold to the famous jewelry houses of Boucheron and Cartier.
Much of his jewelry involved organic and botanical forms and patterns. Here is an example of his early 20th century work of a "simple" moulded glass pendant. Oval in form, the pendant is a superb teal green color. His process allows for transparency of the glass - allowing light to filter through, creating an almost three-dimensional image of the botanicals and wasps depicted. Even the holes for the silken cord are expressed through a subtle sensuous configuration. Engraved verso is the signature "R. Lalique, France". This piece is referenced in Félix Marcilhac "Catalogue Raisonné de René Lalique" Paris, 1989, p. 578, no. 1650. Accompanying the pendant is a knotted silk cord with tassel.
Measurements: Glass is 2 -3/16 inches (5.5 cm) in length by 1-7/8 inches (4.7 cm) in width by 7/16 of an inch (1.2 cm) in depth. Tassel is 2-7/8 inches (7.3 cm); cord is 10-7/8 inches (27.4 cm) on each side. Weight of 49.4 grams (31.8 dwt) including cord.
Hallmarks: Signed, R. Lalique, France.
Condition: Excellent. Cord is old although possibly not original.
Date & Origin: Circa 1920 and is French in origin.
