There's a bit of meltwater flowing down into that drain, but not much. And we've still gotta park the car on the street.

Bust of Diana
circa 1882
Jean-Alexandre-Joseph Falguière
bronze with marble base
This bust of Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, was one of the most successful ideal heads executed during the second half of the nineteenth century. It is excerpted from a full-length version of the subject exhibited to great acclaim at the Paris Salons of 1882 and 1887. Falguière capitalized on the popularity of this sculpture by excerpting the bust from the original and having it produced in bronze; the bust was available at lower cost and so could be marketed to a broader public. In the full-length sculpture Diana prepares to shoot an arrow, her right arm raised gracefully above her head and her left arm, grasping a bow, held down by her leg. Her striking, almost disdainful, downcast gaze was originally directed toward her prey. The only remaining indicator of Diana’s identity on the bust is the half moon that appears incongruously on her head; the goddess was associated with wild animals, the woodlands, and the moon. She was also an emblem of chastity, and a very popular subject on that account. It is characteristic of Falguière’s style that he does not idealize the deity by imposing classical proportions on her face but instead gives a sense of its distinctive features.
Subject Matter:
It is unclear whether this bust was first conceived as a study for Falguiere's full-length sculpture of Diana or as a spin-off to capitalize on the popularity of the finished statue. Regardless, Falguiere’s “Bust of Diana” was so popular at the end of the 19th century that many versions were made in at least three sizes and in different types of media, including marble and bronze. The bust would have appealed to its 19th century audience for its portrait-like realism, arresting pose, idealized beauty and Classical subject matter. In Roman mythology, Diana was goddess of the hunt and personification of the moon represented by the crescent atop her head. Abstracted from the context of the full-length statue in which her right arm is raised while her left holds a bow, Diana’s lowered eyelids and turned head give her an austere, slightly haughty appearance.

Since the 5 lb bags shared one pallet, we had to break out the two types of flour onto separate pallets. Robert and I end up with an extra bundle (10 bags) of all-purpose flour, and short a bundle of whole wheat. Rod, who's been at FMCS since 1976, found our mistake almost immediately (fortunately not buried deep).
There were many forms of ice in the lake as it was leaving. These pieces were blown to the shore by north winds..

This was taken the night my boyfriend broke up with me. It was before it hit me I was alone. It's a crappy photo, but I felt crappy at the time... To all the broken hearted, I know where you have been and I have felt that emptiness. You are beautiful, I know you can't see it or feel it... But you are.
When a marriage or relationship ends, you can often feel the pain directly in your heart. Although many assume breakups just have an emotional impact, these periods in your life can take toll on your health both mentally and physically. However, a recent study found that narrative expressive...

These two images, taken about eight minutes apart, show clump-like
structures and a great deal of dust in Saturn's ever-changing F ring. The
images show an object-interior to and detached from the bright core of the
F ring that appears to be breaking up into discrete clumps.
Cassini scientists have been monitoring clumps in the F ring for more than
two years now, trying to understand whether these represent small
permanent moonlets or transient aggregates of material. (See PIA07716.)
This view looks toward the unlit side of the rings from about 35 degrees
above the ringplane.
The images were taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft
narrow-angle camera on Dec. 23, 2006 at a distance of approximately 2
million kilometers (1.2 million miles) from Saturn. Image scale is 12
kilometers (7 miles) per pixel.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European
Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages
the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The
Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and
assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space
Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.
