Grilled corn
Grilled corn with chipotle butter Prep: 20 minutes Cook: 10 minutes Servings: 6 Ingredients: 1 teaspoon chipotle chili puree, or more to taste, see below 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/2 teaspoon salt 6 ears white or yellow corn, husks left on 1. Combine the chili puree, butter and salt in a small bowl; beat together until blended. Taste for seasoning; add more puree, if you like. 2. Pull back the husks on the corn, being careful not to break them off. Remove all the silk. Soak the corn in a large bowl or sink full of cold water, 30-60 minutes. 3. Drain; pat the corn dry. Rub with chili butter, about 1 teaspoon per ear. Replace husks. 4. Prepare a grill for medium heat. Grill the corn, turning to cook evenly, 10-15 minutes, depending on their size. Remove from the grill; using a potholder glove, remove the husks. Serve with the remaining butter. Nutrition information: Per serving: 113 calories, 5 g fat, 3 g saturated fat, 10 mg cholesterol, 17 g carbohydrates, 3 g protein, 16 mg sodium, 2 g fiber. Chipotle chili puree: Puree 1 can (7 ounces) chipotle en adobo in a food processor. Place in an airtight container, preferably glass, as the sauce tends to stain plastic; refrigerate up to 1 month. Keep on hand to add to dressings, sauces or anything you want to give an undertone of smoky heat. Makes: about 1/4 cup Grilled husked corn Prepare the grill for medium-high heat. Brush 6 ears husked corn with olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the ears until charred in spots, turning occasionally to cook evenly, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a platter; serve with lime halves to squirt over the corn. Corn grilled without husks tends to be sweeter since the kernels are grilled directly on the heat and become caramelized. Remember that husked corn cooks much faster than corn in the husk. Olive oil and a splash of fresh squeezed lime juice impart a complementary flavor. Each of these methods is delicious in its own way. Try both and see which you prefer.

Cartier Love Ring In Ceramic, Diamonds & GoldCategories:Jewelry & Watches
Already an icon in its own right, writing most anything about Cartier's Love collection would be pointless since it's already loved and adored by one and all. But because this post concerns Cartier's new Love ring in ceramic, diamonds and gold, I thought it apt to run it here.
Recently released in Singapore and already garnering fans of its own, what's most special about the new rings is the fact that they can be worn together or separately. Yes, you guessed it, the ring is actually comprised of 3 individual pieces, and as the name suggests, one band in the gold of your choice (pink, or white gold), another band in ceramic (black, or brown ceramic) and lastly, a third band in gold that's also set with sparkling diamonds.
Priced at SGD7150 and SGD7600 (the one in white gold is a tad pricier), it's like getting 3 rings for the price of one. Or one ring that actually comes apart and makes 3. Seriously, I'm delirious, so please excuse me while I go fan myself.
For those of you who like me, feel that such delicate rings just don't sit pretty enough on your fingers, you could consider the Cartier Love Bracelet in pink gold and set with diamonds. Priced at SGD18,500 for a total of 10 diamonds encircling the circumference of the bracelet, the icing on the cake is probably the fact that it comes with its very own solid gold screwdriver that you'll need to put on or take off the bracelet.
Personally, I'll be content with the plain yellow gold one (sans diamonds, of course) that sells for SGD7740, but that's just me. What are you eyeing next from Cartier?

Yesterday we featured the Celine Spring Bag Collection and naturally, the fashion brand also made an ad campaign. Daria Werbowy is again on the front screen. Flash, flash! It's all natural.
You can keep staring at these beautiful pictures, or we can start talking about handbags. You know, let's talk about bags.
If we are allowed to select a seasonal handbag for you (A Celine bag of course), then that will be… the latest Ring Bag. This handbag looks quite boxy on the model picture, crafted with traditional elements like flappy wings on the sides. It got elegant curvy handles and a 'slide-in leather on the front to carry like a clutch.
I love the way how Daria carry it, slide your hands through the handles and then to the leather strap on the front, just like holding a white pillow.
It doesn't come very often, but meet Celine's fanny pack, it's called the 'Bum Bag'. It's gorgeous – it's chic, minimalistic, I love the white with golden hardware and the strap goes beautiful like a 'belt' around your waist.
This week we will be talking more about Celine's Seasonal Spring Collection, and of course, we will be posting everything about the details, like the prices and so on.

Cartier Trinity de Cartier 3-Gold RingCategories:Jewelry & Watches
Yes, it's the night before Valentine's Day and you're in mild panic mode. Yes, you already bought the flowers, but it's not looking as grand as you imagine. And the gift, you seriously gave it as much thought as you could, especially when you barely scraped through with the Christmas one but you're still coming up short. A ring would be nice, but it couldn't be just any ring, and the ones you're already eyeing easily cost 3 grand and up, which is a tad more than you budgeted for.
So what do you do? You head down to Cartier, of course. More specifically, head to the glass counter which holds the Trinity de Cartier rings and point to the 3-gold one that retails for SGD1570. No, you're not reading it wrong, there is really a ring from Cartierthat costs just that, a Trinity de Cartier, no less, in rose, yellow and white gold.
Actually, it doesn't even have to cost that much. The rings actually start fromSGD1100 for thinnest bands, followed by the SGD1570 ones (they are both shown above) that I feel are just about right for most fingers of both men and women. They then go up to SGD2170 and SGD3650 respectively for the even thicker ones, but those I feel would be a tad too much for most people.
In other words, head down to Cartier stat tomorrow morning, pick up the SGD1570Trinity de Cartier 3-gold ring because it's a real deal, get it packaged into Cartier's beautiful red box and watch her (or him) smile when they open it. You can always thank me later.

CELINE RING BAG VS ZARA GRADUATED BOWLING BAGCategories:Other Brands
It's showtime for two of our bags today, ladies – the Celine Ring Bag and Zara Graduated Bowling Bag. Just a disclaimer though, we're not exactly battling-out pieces today for bag supremacy…instead, we just want to set out similarities and differences, and maybe (just maybe) be able to give you some clarity about possible alternatives. Well then, let's start!
First of all, the Celine Ring Bag needs no introduction – it's a classy piece made with only the finest skins available (goatskin, calfskin, crocodile, take your pick). Also, it comes in an array of colors to choose from – for the past seasons, this piece has been undergoing some welcome twists. It has a fine structure, pockets and side folds which expand to accommodate all of your stuff…for the price of around €1,800 EUR. Hmmm…we'll see about that.
Next, the Zara Graduated Bowling Bag offers the same kind of functionality, but let's just say that it falls short on the luxury appeal (like comparing a stone to a boulder) when it comes to the main materials used which is polyester and polyurethane. Depending on use and care, this bag may last you some time though. Also, it has that same outside pocket with the Ring Bag, which gives you more space for organization…for the price of around $70 USD. A far cry from the Celine Ring Bag, but well, it's really up to you to decide.
So, what is it going to be? Are you in it for the long run, or are you after a great bargain? Tell us your thoughts and comment now!

PARIS, France --- Former Lees-McRae College standouts Brent Bookwalter '06 (BMC Racing) and Andrew Talansky (Garmin-Sharp) capped the 100th Tour de France in style on Sunday, sprinting to the finish on the Champs Elysees in the City of Light while living out their dreams of riding with the best in the world.
"To see there are two former Lees-McRae College cyclists in this year's 100th anniversary of the Tour De France is a great tribute to our cycling program," said Director of Athletics Craig McPhail. "These young men played a big part in getting Lees-McRae its recognition as an outstanding program. This is the highest stage for their respective sport and they are both playing considerable roles in it as some of the top Americans."
When all the dust settled and the fireworks faded from the evening sky, Talansky sat 10th overall and second for the white jersey as the Best Young Rider while representing his country as the top American rider.
"I proved I have what it takes," said Talansky in an interview with VeloNews. "This is confirmation of what I did in the Vuelta last year. I have what it takes to race and compete for the top 10 in a grand tour. And it's always what I thought I was going to be able to do, but it's nice to…come through and be able to show once again that my body's…designed for three weeks of racing."
Talansky provided a steady stream of highlights and headlines for American cycling throughout the race, making waves as one of the acknowledged leaders among the sport's up-and-coming young riders. The Miami, Fla. native finished within the top 30 riders in almost every stage, including six finishes in the top 20, three in the top 10, and a photo-finish third-place performance in stage 14.
Ever the competitor, Talansky was slightly disappointed with his finish in the 14th stage.
"I always kind of thought it was going to be a sprint like it was with a smaller group, just because when you have that many guys, one person attacks, someone always chases. I chased a couple moves down just because you have to keep it together and nobody's going to do it," said Talansky on a sweltering afternoon in Lyon while speaking with Matthew Beaudin of VeloNews.
Talansky continued to fight and press the issue in his maiden trip through the French countryside, finishing the Tour's brutal 19th stage in the same group as Tour champion and yellow jersey Christopher Froome, white jersey (Best Young Rider) Nairo Alexander Quintana Rojas and three-time Tour champion Alberto Contador.
Contador and his Saxo-Tinkoff teammates did all they could to lose their competition on the Tour's penultimate 205-kilometer ride through the Alps, setting an ever-increasing pace throughout the climb while trying to isolate Froome and the rest of their pursuit. Yet Talansky, the Tour rookie, stayed with the pack and fought right to the line, putting his talent on display while earning his place alongside the Tour's biggest names.
His poise and big-stage ability were in full view again the next afternoon, as he battled Contador to the finish and edged the Spaniard by the narrowest of margins to finish sixth in the stage, while cementing his spot in the top 10.
Despite his successes both leading up to the Tour and during his three-week journey around France, another experience will remain foremost in Talansky's mind for years to come. Unable to keep pace with the lead pack, he fought through the grueling climb to the summit of Mount Ventoux alone in stage 15, watching his hopes of the white jersey slip away.
Yet in spite of losing more time during the double ascent of l'Alpe d'Huez, it proved to be the personal highlight of his Tour.
"That was the most incredible experience," he told VeloNews. "Going up twice…with those crowds, that noise. For me, that is the Tour de France. That's what I will remember most from this Tour. It was just incredible."
Bookwalter took a far different, yet equally satisfying, road to the finish in Paris. A veteran of three Tours in the last four years, Bookwalter has seen and done so much in the sport of cycling, from winning 13 individual and team collegiate national championships at Lees-McRae and earning induction into the College's Hall of Fame in 2010, to donning a golden jersey for the first time as a pro during the Tour of Qatar earlier this year.
He carried that momentum into this year's Tour, starting strong before circumstances quickly changed during stage five. Riding comfortably in the middle of the peloton, the road suddenly became littered with riders and bikes alike as one of the stage's two crashes claimed a host of entrants, including Bookwalter.
The Grand Rapids, Mich. native was taking a drink when the rider in front of him suddenly lost control. "I only had one hand on the handlebars at the time so I couldn't react like normal. I have a little bit of soreness and lost a little bit of skin but I'm OK," said Bookwalter in an interview with Gregor Brown of VeloNews after the stage.
Bookwalter refused to throw in the towel despite surrendering 19 places and more than seven minutes as a result. Falling back to 106th from 87th the day before, Bookwalter battled through the remaining 16 stages to cross the line in Paris and complete his third Tour in 91st, a career-best by more than 20 spots.
Above all else, Talansky and Bookwalter have grown to embody that which sets Lees-McRae apart in the world of collegiate cycling: a do-whatever-it-takes, never say die attitude that frustrates opponents but produces championships at a rate that sometimes defies even the grandest of expectations.
With these men at the lead, and others rising to join them, the future of American cycling may look brighter than ever before. Only time will tell how bright.

The survey released by Panorama Consulting in the US, has found nearly two thirds of respondents said their projects involving Oracle, SAP and Microsoft Dynamics software went over schedule.
Panorama's survey found that nearly a third of respondents had yet to realise any financial rewards from their projects, and another 30 percent said it took at least three years to start seeing full ROI.
The survey based on 2,000 responses from 61 countries collected between February 2006 and May of this year, found 28 per cent finished on time and 11 per cent completed the project sooner than expected.
The actual ERP software being used was largely not to blame for problem projects, according to the survey data.
Just 4 per cent of respondents cited vendor functionality issues as a reason for project delays, although technical issues drew 14 percent.
The company said it is "distressingly common" to see ERP (enterprise resource planning) projects running so late.
A change in the project's initial scope was the top reason for slowdowns, named by 29 per cent of survey respondents. A fifth of respondents cited organisational issues, followed by data issues and resource constraints, both with 17 per cent.
Dynamics led the pack in terms of overall implementation times, averaging 13 months to SAP's 17 months and Oracle's 18 months, according to the survey.
These results should be viewed with some caution, since Dynamics tends to be implemented by smaller companies with less complex environments.
SAP and Dynamics projects ran on average two months past schedule, while Oracle implementations averaged four-month overruns, according to the survey.
Sometimes, ERP projects go so poorly that customers end up suing their vendor, as well as vice versa.
Oracle, for one, is currently embroiled in a high-profile dispute with Montclair State University. Epicor was also the target of a number of recent actions.

Well, guys, I've given it a lot of thought, and it didn't come lightly.
After tooling around with the "new and improved" GameSpot, I have come to the conclusion that whomever was responsible for all of these changes pretty much eviscerated the last remaining remnants of a website I used to call my second online home. To be brutally honest, the changes are disappointing and unnecessary. You know, I thought I was willing to accept it, but God help me---I can only take so much. The removal of the Unions means people have no safe havens to discuss their favorite games anymore -- they must share a public forum with fanboys, trolls and haters who will pounce on any worthwhile discussion like a pack of wolves on a helpless lamb. Profanity and vulgar language is no longer regulated or filtered, giving griefers and blue-ribbon free-speechers the power to "embolden" their opinions and flood chat and comment boxes with cuss and filth. I came to GameSpot many years ago because I thought it was one of few safe places for me to make friends and chat about video games. The community was a nice one, and those who would cause trouble were kept in check and under control by means of moderations and hard-working moderators. I may lose friends because of this blog. If you think of me differently, I understand completely. Yet, I need to be honest, because if I told you I liked the changes, I'd be lying. And I never lie to my friends.
Anyhow, I'll use this opportunity to announce my departure from GameSpot after six years of being a member. This blog will not only be my last blog, but also my last official contribution to the website. It will also mark my last time contributing or being a member of ANY gaming website.
Like most things, it's time for me to focus on my life's endeavors outside of video games, but I will remain a gamer for as long as I still have an interest in it. The gaming industry will continue to evolve and change -- invariably, it will transform into something I can no longer recognize. Having lived through the golden age of the 16-bit era and survived the Sega/Nintendo wars, I can attest to all the fun times I had playing games as a kid with my friends. We can never relive those days again---at least, not anytime soon---but we will always have the memories.
Before I ride off into the sunset, I wanted to fill you in on some last updates. I am no longer a 360 gamer, and have devoted my allegiance to both Nintendo and Sony. I've given up the 360 because I want to focus on one platform. As of now, the PS3 and the PS4 have more interesting exclusives, and nearly every game to be released (or has already been released to this point) can be found on both competing consoles. I can't say I'm super-duper, first-kid-on-the-block excited to have the PS4, but there is still plenty of room for it to grow and develop overtime. The XBox One also has time to flourish and grow into a great product, and that's good for competition. Give or take five years, the PS4 and XBox One will have a strong library of games to choose from. No matter what side of the fence you choose to be on, be happy with your choice and have fun with it.
I'm looking forward to Super Mario 3D World on the Wii U as well as the Legend of Zelda Link Between Worlds on my 3DS. Don't worry about Nintendo -- those cats are going to be just fine.
Also, I downloaded my first season pass EVER. Bioshock Infinite. It means I get both the Burial at Sea DLC Chapters for free, plus a few other nifty perks. It's prompted me to replay the game again so I can nab all the Infusion bottles (including the five free ones you get with the Early Bird pack included with the Season Pass)
Lastly, for the PS4, I picked up KillZone and Knack. Knack is a gorgeous game, but it suffers from a deluge of missed opportunities and wasted potential. It's like having the ingredients to make the perfect pizza, but you end up making it lousy and undercooked. Still, I tend to see Knack as a precursor to what Ratchet and Clank might look like on the PS4 -- with Pixar-quality production values. Killzone is a showcase of the PS4's power. Graphically, the game looks amazing. It may not be the best FPS on the market, but it's gotten me interested in the Killzone series in general.
So, yeah, that's it.
I want to thank everyone who took the time to read my blogs and reviews over the years, and became my GS friends because of them. zinoalex, pokecharm, kjfl, widdowson91.....the list is too long to count; you have all been so good to me here and I hope we meet again in the stratosphere. A lot of you guys have already gone on to other websites, or gone on to other things, and that is understandable. Those who choose to remain here at GameSpot, I hope you'll grow accustomed to all the changes and make the most of your time. In other words, I hope you'll like GS a lot more than I do.
And most importantly, I hope that you will game on in spite of everything.
Good-bye, game on and may the Force be with you.

Severe heat up to 85°C, fierce vibrations or aggressive salt water: LiView defies adverse environmental conditions. This leads to long-term high system availability.
The LiView evaluation electronics can be installed either on the cylinder or directly on the machine. Only two small probe heads need a connection to the piston rod bearing. This allows fast and simple integration of the system.
The position transducer LiView is generally suitable for all cylinder lengths and piston diameters – a state-of-the-art sensor system with smart technology for all of your cylinders.
Easy access: The external processing electronics as well as the probes are easily accessible. This facilitates fast and simple maintenance without draining oil or disassembling of the cylinder.
LiView's condition monitoring function allows for autonomous fault detection and diagnosis, such as undervoltage or a defective probe. This reduces machine downtime in the field and increases efficiency.
LiView utilises the piston itself as measuring distance and measures using fixed probe heads. No moving parts in oil (e.g. magnet), which may cause an oil contamination including a machine breakdown, are required.
The LiView system has low-wear and was developed for intensive long-term usage. The probe heads swim on an oil film and are therefore almost wear-free.
When using LiView, the space in the cylinder can be entirely used for the stroke, as the probe heads are integrated in the piston rod bearing. Therefore, in general, the entire cylinder length can be used with the position transducer installed.
The high-resolution position transducer for cylinders measures the accurate position of the piston with lowest nonlinearity. In addition, the position transducer is able to determine the speed of the piston.
By combining easy integration, easy maintainability and precise measuring performance, LiView creates ideal prerequisites for the automation of mobile machinery.
In addition to the precision of the measurements, a fast measuring cycle is essential. In particular for highly dynamic cylinders, fast measurement data acquisitions are required for efficient and safe (semi)automation.
By integrating LiView, there is no need for drilling the piston rod. This reduces costs and maintains the full stability of the cylinder.
SIL2 and PL d: The usage of the TÜV-certified LiView supports you in the construction and certification of mobile machinery, allowing the implementation of safety-relevant functions, like safe load indicators.
LiView supports the standardised protocols CANopen and CANopen Safety. Thus, LiView can be easily integrated in the control system.
Configure the LiView functionality according to your application's needs, enabling you get the most out of our position transducer.
LiView is an intelligent position transducer which calculates piston speed in real time. This provides short latency periods for the control system, enabling high-performance position control of cylinders. This is especially advantageous if you dynamically approach predefined workspace boundaries.

Accurate piston position and speed information are the basis for reliable automation. LiView enables precise control over cylinder movements. For instance, this allows assisted levelling, which relieves the driver and increases productivity.
LiView allows for precise determination of the boom position. Thereby, the driver can define a workspace in which the boom is allowed to move freely. If the boom touches the defined workspace boundaries, the machine warns the driver or automatically stops the boom. This increases safety.
Information about the accurate outrigger position plays a major role in avoiding tipping of the machine. LiView supplies precise position data for the implementation of safe load indicators, providing increased safety.
If a driver repeatedly stops at certain load and drop points, he can save these piston positions. Subsequently, the system supports the driver in approaching these points quickly and precisely. This semiautomatic positioning increases productivity.

"Olive Kitteridge"
Starring Frances McDormand and Richard Jenkins, HBO's two-part, four-hour adaptation of Elizabeth Strout's Pulitzer Prize-winning book is the best thing on television this year, last year, probably next year, possible ever.
Following the mid- and later years of Olive, an astringent New England teacher (McDormand) and her gentle pharmacist husband Henry (Jenkins), "Olive Kitteridge" is a masterfully restrained but unexpectedly passionate contemplation of love, age, marriage, parenthood and the glue that holds people together.
Olive is a character of ruthless beauty, stubborn and steadfast, a...

Jittery investors who are looking to the indexes for signs of an approaching bear market might do better by focusing their attention elsewhere: on the yield curve. So says Jeffrey Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL Financial, who asserts in a note Tuesday that the yield curve has a perfect track record of predicting the top of the stock market over the past 50 years, and it's not signaling a bear market right now.
The yield curve is another way of describing the difference between short-term Treasury yields and long-term yields. It's a favorite tool among financial and economics wonks because of what it says about the economy. The widening between the yields of different maturities, known as a steepening curve, often signals a brightening economic outlook. On the contrary, if the curve flattens considerably, the growth outlook tends to be souring.
If the Federal Reserve aggressively hikes its key policy rate, short-term Treasury yields in turn rise swiftly. If short-term yields climb higher than long-term rates, the curve is said to invert. An inverted yield curve is generally a sign that a recession is about to begin, which means that it's also a predictor of the top of a bull market in equities, says Kleintop.
There are a number of different Treasury maturities one can use to calculate the yield curve, but Kleintop chooses to find the spread between the 3-month T-bill and the 10-year note . Here's where that differential has turned negative over the past 50 years, and how it compares with the S&P 500 index :
Writes Kleintop:
"Every recession over the past 50 years was preceded by the Fed hiking rates enough to invert the yield curve. That is seven out of seven times -- a perfect forecasting track record. The yield curve inversion usually takes place about 12 months before the start of the recession, but the lead time ranges from about five to 16 months. The peak in the stock market comes around the time of the yield curve inversion, ahead of the recession and accompanying downturn in corporate profits.
This puts Kleintop in the same camp as Jonathan Golub, chief U.S. market strategist at RBC Capital Markets, who also claims the the bull market has more room to run because a recession isn't imminent.
So now you're worried about when the curve will invert. The yield curve has certainly been flattening over the last half year as bond investors fret about when the Fed will begin hiking its lending rate, which has been pegged near zero for the past half decade. But the good news is that the curve is still steep -- and certainly a long ways from inverting. Here's what the curve looked like on Monday:
As Kleintop writes:
"Even if long-term rates stay at the very low yield of 2.6%, to invert the yield curve by 0.5% the Fed would need to hike rates from around zero to over 3%! Based on the latest survey of current Fed members that vote on rate hikes, conducted earlier this year, members do not expect to raise rates above 3% until sometime in 2017, at the earliest. The facts suggest the best indicator for the start of a bear market may still be a long way from signaling a cause for concern."

Frequently Asked Questions
What is HMD made of?
HMD is a combination of a dehydrated seaweed powder, a unique seawater extract, grape seed powder, Clean Chlorella and Hawaiian Spirulina. Each of the five ingredients plays an important role in the overall function of the product.
Does HMD block any beneficial nutrients?
Yes, because of its powerful ionic action, HMD will bind with and capture dietary zinc. For this reason, we recommend supplementing zinc at other times when you are not taking HMD.
Does HMD remove heavy metals from my body's organs or blood?
No. HMD has not been shown to remove heavy metals from tissues and organs. It has only been demonstrated to bind with and capture heavy metals before they are absorbed into your bloodstream.
To assist your body's natural elimination of heavy metals in tissues and organs, we recommend exploring heavy metals chelation clinics and learning about nutritional support for heavy metals removal: glutathione, N.A.C. etc.
Call 1-800-LEAD-OUT to learn more about chelation.
When should I take HMD?
HMD is best taken only with meals that you suspect of being contaminated with toxic heavy metals. These tend to be meals made with fish, seaweeds, certain superfoods (like cacao) or anything grown in China. HMD can also be used alongside Chinese medicine formulas which are often found to contain high lead.
Can I safely take HMD while pregnant?
Please consult your primary care physician for an appropriate personalized answer. We are not aware of any risk posed to expectant mothers by HMD, but because gestational dietary needs are complex, we advise you to seek professional assistance. (We can say conclusively that repeatedly eating very high concentrations of lead or mercury while pregnant may threaten the health of your baby.)
Is HMD patented?
HMD is patent pending, meaning a patent has been filed but not yet approved.
Have human trials ever been conducted on HMD?
Human trials have not been conducted. We have ethical reservations about intentionally exposing anyone to dietary heavy metals as part of an experiment. Such a scenario seems to violate fundamental medical ethics. If we can devise a way to test the product in humans without violating medical ethics, we will pursue human trials.
Can HMD prevent cancer caused by heavy metals?
No. HMD is not a drug and does not treat, prevent or cure any disease.
Can children or pregnant women take HMD?Expectant mothers, children and anyone with a medical condition should consult with their health care physician before consuming this or any dietary product.

RENTON, Wash. — Marshawn Lynch has every reason to talk.
The Seattle Seahawks running back is the No. 2 rusher in the NFL, trailing Adrian Peterson. He already has set a career high with 1,266 yards rushing through 13 games and needs three more rushing touchdowns to match his career best of 12 from last season.
And his past and present collide this week when the Seahawks travel to Toronto to face Lynch's former team, the Buffalo Bills.
Yet with all those reasons for Lynch to chat about his season or playing his old team, his response Wednesday when asked if had a few minutes was a simple, "Nah, I'm good."
"Marshawn is a football player. He's just like, 'Who are we playing? All right, let's go play,' " Seattle fullback Michael Robinson said. "That's the type of guy he is, and you need guys like that on your team. You don't want guys thinking too much."
Lynch, a former Cal star, is coming off a performance Sunday against Arizona that in some ways was a career-best. His three touchdowns rushing tied a career high. He played only two quarters, plus the first series of the second half, and still finished with a season-high 128 yards in 11 carries, averaging a career-best 11.6 yards per attempt.
He has topped 100 yards seven times this season and could be looking at a second consecutive trip to the Pro Bowl.
With the Seahawks on the cusp of a playoff berth and still in contention for the NFC West title, it is apparent that the decision to acquire Lynch from Buffalo early in the 2010 season is probably the most important transaction coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider have made in rebuilding their roster.
"When you build your philosophy about running the football and with an attitude and toughness and all of that, he's a key addition," Carroll said. "Fortunately, with the quarterback situation coming around, that's in good shape and that's the most crucial spot, but I don't know if anything is more symbolic than what we've done with Marshawn and him playing the way he plays and the guy that he is."
When Lynch was traded to Seattle, he needed the change. Lynch had been seeking a fresh start after his reputation in Buffalo took a hit with off-the-field troubles that included a traffic violation in which he struck a female pedestrian with his car and a guilty plea on a misdemeanor gun charge.
Until this past summer, Lynch had been a model citizen in Seattle. But he was arrested and charged with driving under the influence near his hometown of Oakland in July. That case is still pending.
On the field, the Seahawks have no complaints with what their workhorse has done, production that was needed with the team breaking in rookie quarterback Russell Wilson.
Lynch is on pace to finish with more than 1,550 yards this season. He would become the third running back in Seahawks history to top 1,500 yards. Shaun Alexander did it twice, and Chris Warren did it once.
"This is what we had hoped," Carroll said. "We hoped that he would be a big-timer and we could make him fit in and feel comfortable and like his surroundings and really contribute in a big way. He has done everything. He's done everything we have asked of him."

Is it permissible for an adult Muslim daughter to accept financial support from her Christian father?
Is it advisable for her to arrange for her health insurance, given that her father intends to withdraw his financial support, if she does not do that, and given that health insurance is compulsory in the country in which she lives?
The daughter is a student.
Praise be to Allaah.
It is permissible for a Muslim woman to accept support and gifts from her non-Muslim father, so long as that will not result in her giving up anything of her religious commitment. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) accepted gifts from al-Muqawqas and the Negus (an-Najaashi), who were both Christians.
Commercial insurance of all types is haraam, including health insurance, because it is based on ambiguity and gambling. But if a person is compelled to do that, there is no blame on him and the sin is on the one who compelled him. See the answer to question no. 133341
If your father has taken out this insurance, then he has taken care of that for you. If he refuses to pay the insurance, it is permissible for you to take out insurance for yourself, because you are compelled to do that. But we do not think that you should take it out unless your father actually refuses to do that.
We ask Allah, may He be exalted, to bless you and help you and guide your father and relatives.
And Allah knows best.

My great-great-great-great-great-grandfather was a most talented man. He was born on 10 July 1723 at Cheapside in London. His father was an affluent merchant, who died before William was born. He was educated at Charterhouse and then at Pembroke College, Oxford, and was elected a Fellow of All Souls, Oxford in 1744. He was called to the Bar in 1746, but did not have a successful practice. At the age of thirty he was asked to present a series of lectures on Common English law. These were so successful that they gained him a seat in Parliament, and the headship of New Inn Hall.
His lectures were published in 1765 as "Commentaries on the Laws of England", in four volumes. It was the first time that English common law had been made readable by laymen, and they were translated into French, Russian and German. It was basic to the US Constitution, and was a textbook for the early American lawyers.
He married Sarah Clitheroe in 1761, and they had nine children. In 1770 he was knighted, and became a judge in the Court of Pleas. He spent his last twenty years with his family at Castle Priory House in Wallingford, Oxfordshire.

November 13, 2006
LOS ANGELES - What's your definition of career success? Kathy Ullrich ('92) has one. "I'm doing something I'm passionate about," she says. And as president and executive recruiter of Kathryn Ullrich Associates, Inc, her business is helping others find their own definition of career success.
Ullrich's route to executive recruiting had its own twists and turns. "Four years out of business school I was in strategic consulting and was looking for a change," she explained. "I returned to Anderson and (former Parker Career Management Center Director) Kathryn Van Ness asked me about my network. And I didn't have a network. I had been on the road all the time and hadn't taken the time to develop one. "From that moment on, I started greasing the wheels and developing that network. I credit that advice with getting me on the path to where I am now."
Ullrich specializes in the recruitment of senior level executives for enterprise software, high technology, and consulting companies. She has eight years of executive search experience with her own firm and Russell Reynolds Associates. Kathy believes that career transition begins with deciding what you want to do and what your aspirations are. In her case, she found she so much liked the networking experience that she ultimately landed in executive recruiting.
Step one, she says, was writing down everyone she could think of who might hire someone like her. Ullrich started with Anderson contacts and kept track of people she could call on. "During my career transition, I was able to build relationships with many alumni, doing informational interviews and meeting alumni in companies that might potentially hire me," she said. "All the alumni were very helpful, which is one reason I stay involved with UCLA Anderson. It's the you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours theory. Some people call it 'pay it forward.'"
Kathryn Ullrich Associates, Inc. does considerable search work for technology and consulting companies identifying senior management teams, including C-level and VPs in product marketing/management, marketing, sales, consulting, operations, engineering and finance. From that vantage point, she saw tech boom – then bust – and now … what? "It's fantastic, we're back to the same levels of hiring and recruitment that we saw before the bubble burst, with candidates getting multiple offers," Ullrich said. That said, the landscape is not exactly the same as it was a few years ago.
"I think beyond Web 2.0 and the digital media convergence space, there's a lot going on with anything that has to do with enabling the web. Things like web security, analytics, and online payments – all those technologies are hot. Biotech is where the software industry was ten years ago, with a whole lot of growth and lots of start-ups."
The other big area right now, she says, is consulting. Ullrich speculates that during the bust-then-lean years, there was a shortage of hiring in consulting. The result is a break in the hiring pipeline and there are simply not enough experienced consultants at senior levels to handle the demand.
For those interested in the opportunity, a background in technology is not a prerequisite. Kathy says the general skills clients are looking for are good, strong communication skills; client skills; business development or customer service skills; teamwork and the ability to manage client teams. "You can come from the outside if you have the leadership skills," Ullrich said, though she cautioned that it's hard to enter the biotech space without science skills. "One other way of breaking in is using vertical expertise. If you've worked in areas such as banking, insurance, telecommunications, you can find companies trying to target those industries."

The Natural Flames Experience
New Zealand's newest "Hot" spot is open to the general public - a naturally occurring gas seep, continually burning in the forest near Murchison!
Two deer hunters finding natural gas bubbling out of a marsh, inspired a local farmer in 1926 to drill for oil in the Mangles valley near Murchison. Later the hydro-carbon search was continued up local valleys but although nothing was found in commercial quantities, the original gas found by the bush men is still alight.
Locals have been BBQ-ing in the forest for years but general access has been restricted until now.
Permission has recently been granted for small groups to be taken to see the remains of these wells. They then are guided through the bush on an mossy, one hour walk (each way) to the flames where pancakes are cooked and eaten with local bush honey and a cup of billy tea.
The half-day tour includes a drive across a privately owned farm where not only deer, but cattle, sheep and even emu can be encountered!
The rough track starts at the other end of the farm and winds it's way over tree roots and across streams going ever deeper into the bush before one stumbles onto the 'visual contradiction' of flames burning happily alongside mosses and ferns - which are only inches away!
Naturally occurring flames are only seen in a very few places in the world - and very rarely in a forest. A most intriguing site / sight!

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms..."

So zzhk you are doing V6 this time? (many thanks again)
Just check myanimelist.net today..(was trying find which sub-group ppl prefer for campi) and there i found some serious discussion about semi-immortality of a campione...
There are some questions i want to ask.
So being Campione was being curse in simple terms.
"The dark birth ritual that gives rise to the child of the fool and the witch" , is the witch here refer to Pandora?. I wonder there will be a story going back to the start, right to where everything is started.
Btw the authors haven't touch Norse myths right?

How would they do that? They lack in-universe time. And if they rewrite it so they don't need that time, it'll become awkw... point taken. When do you think they'll release the OVA? Along with the last BD?
(Isn't this a topic for the anime thread?)

Well, the anime thread don't allow LN mentions. I hope that the LN allows anime ones though.
Personally, I wonder if Volume 11 could be "removed" in the timeline of the anime.
Also, I brought this discussion once, but do you think that there's a possibility for an 8th Campione to appear?

.... not in the main series. As of V12, Godou has been a campione for nine, ten months. He's basically a baby. Introducing another Campione after just a year is too soon. From a story-telling point of view, though, it would be interesting to see Godou interact with another fledgeling, but for that I think more time needs to pass, he needs to grow a bit more and finally sleep with his girls. Thing is, in that time the story as we see it now should come to a conclusion.
Now, if there's a timeskip and a second major arc started after it, or a spin-off, all bets are off. Actually, if another story happens, I have reason to believe it's rather likely for a new campione to show up... question is whether he'll be the eighth, of course.

Hi, i am new to this thread and light novel, and I am wondering how to get started ( summaries and chinese translations), and since i started with the anime, i am just wondering who the jap chick with the wrapped up sword is?

You can start with Vol 1. Summaries don't do the novels justice, but if you're looking for some, you can find them on JCafe. You'll have to find Chinese translations yourself, but English ones are on BakaTsuki. The girl with the sword is Seishuuin Ena. She appears in Vol 5 for the first time.

Well, Baka-Tsuki has Volumes 1-3, and 5 complete so far.
The anime summarized the prequel story from Volume 3 in Episode 1, but I suggest reading the novel for all the details. The anime then proceeded with Volume 1, with some early cameos of later characters.
You can read Volume 5 for the introduction of Seishuuin Ena, the Japanese sword wielder featured as part of the group.
The Chinese version is actually licensed, so it's best not to talk about "original sources" so openly.

Colts defensive tackle, hall of famer Art Donovan dies at 88
Ed Payne and AnneClaire Stapleton | 8/5/2013, 7:18 a.m.
CNN Baltimore Colts defensive tackle Art Donovan, a hall of famer who spent his later years regaling television audiences with amusing anecdotes about his time in the NFL, has died. He was 88.
"The world is not as bright tonight because we lost someone who could make us all smile," Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti said Sunday night.
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay also weighed in.
"Art Donovan..RIP..what a colorful,big-hearted man n Baller!" Irsay said in a post to his official Twitter account. "Tremendous contributor to early building of the greatest league n all of sports."
The Colts moved from Baltimore to Indianapolis in 1984.
The cause of Donovan's death was not immediately disclosed.
Storied career
Donovan played in the NFL for 12 seasons, starting at age 26 after serving in World War II. He led the Colts to the world championship in 1958 and 1959. The 340-pound defensive lineman also laced up his football cleats for the New York Yankees and Dallas Texans, both now defunct.
Donovan played in five Pro Bowls and was selected All-NFL five consecutive years --1954 through 1958. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1968.
"The Pro Football Hall of Fame is saddened to learn of the passing of Baltimore Colts great Art Donovan," said Steve Perry, hall of fame president and executive director. "Art was a true legend of professional football and he will be deeply missed."
Jovial and straightforward, Donovan appeared in TV commercials and co-wrote a book in 1987 with Bob Drury called "Fatso: Football When Men Were Really Men."
During the book tour, Donovan appeared on "Late Night with David Letterman" in 1988.
"Have your read the book?" Letterman asked.
"No, not really," Donovan admitted to chuckles from the audience.
"Would you recommend that people buy this book?" Letterman continued.
"I don't know, I guess so," the affable Donovan deadpanned.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — Shares of Humana Inc. took a dive Tuesday as the health insurer absorbed the blows of a proposed cut in Medicare Advantage reimbursement rates, a prospect that made most other managed-care providers shudder in trading.
Humana HUM, +0.48% tumbled more than 8% at one point, but pared losses in recent trades. Shares were down $6.13 to $71.86 in recent action.
On Friday, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid issued a news release stating plans that Humana said would result in reimbursement rates that were worse than expected for the insurer, which relies on Medicare Advantage business for nearly two-thirds of its revenue.
A comment period on the proposed cuts will last until March 1, and a final decision is due to come April 1.
Humana indicated in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing on Tuesday that its recent assessment of CMS rate changes — part of its fourth-quarter and year-end results issued on Feb. 4 — indicated that Medicare Advantage rate payments would be "flat to slightly down."
"The company believes the preliminary base rates included in the CMS notice would result in a mid-single-digit decline in its benchmark payment rates," the company said in its filing. "Therefore, Humana is closely analyzing all operational avenues available to address those preliminary rates and the related impact upon the company's ability to grow both its Medicare membership and its earnings for 2014."
Another big player in Medicare Advantage, Universal American Corp. US:UAM , plunged by more than 6% on the news. Universal had three-fourths of its revenue coming from the government program during the first nine months of the 2013 fiscal year. Full-year results are due out this week.
Analyst Matthew Borsch of Goldman Sachs said he would keep his sell rating on both Humana and Universal. In a morning note to clients, he said further declines in Medicare Advantage earnings are on the horizon.
"We believe downside to [Medicare Advantage] earnings for this year is modest. However, we think [price-to-earnings] multiples will be negatively impacted by increased visibility on the risks to 2014-2015," Borsch said. "Unless mitigated by new regulatory and/or legislative initiatives, we believe the pending combination of health reform-driven reimbursement changes are likely to drive a decline in [Medicare Advantage] earnings by 2014-2015 with disparate impacts across the group."
The news cast a pall among other health insurers, but none was harder hit than eHealth Inc. EHTH, +0.34% , which fell another 16% to $16.47 after losing more than a fifth of its value on Friday in the wake of its earnings report.
EHealth plunged Friday after missing earnings expectations and a lowered view for 2013, but analysts were concerned about the online insurance broker's ability to survive while state health insurance exchanges were being set up. The prospect of lower Medicare rates is likely to cut into EHealth's ability to compete even further.
Industry bellwether UnitedHealth Group Inc. UNH, -2.27% fell a bit of the impact, losing more than 2% to $56.02 while Aetna Inc. US:AET , Cigna Corp. CI, -0.86% and HealthNet Inc. US:HNT all lost more than a percentage point.

HSBC considers that deflation affects the increase of the prices of gold
According to the opinion of the financial analyst James Steel, who represents the British investment bank HSBC, deflation can influence the increase in the prices of gold in a positive way in a long-term perspective.
At the moment the decrease in the yellow metal prices due to the process of deflation has become noticeable in some countries. As a rule, the increase of the purchasing power of the local currency does not influence investment gold in a positive way – expressed the financial analyst in his review about the market of precious metals.
However, the process of deflation could change this tendency. High level of deflation will force Central Banks to decrease interest rates and, probably, to start with quantitative easing.
One of the recent reactions to the situation was that of the Central Bank of Sweden – interest rate was decreased to the negative level of 0.25. At the same time, quantitative easing was started. Denmark, as well as Switzerland supported the implementation of negative interest rates.
"Deflation, while ostensibly negative for gold, makes negative interest rates more likely as central banks move to combat falling prices," Steel said. "Negative rates in turn encourage the holding of some hard assets, such as gold, as investors will be reluctant to have holdings in a non-cash financial system."
The expert from HSBC expressed his opinion about the factors of economical and political uncertainty, which, to his mind, usually impact the choice of stable assets in favor of gold. According to Steel, the role of the yellow metal will become even more important in the course of time.
The forecast on the nearest future is considered by HSBC to be optimistic, taking into account the increasing pressure of deflation. The bank forecasts one ounce of gold to trade in the range of 1,120-1,305$ this year, along with the average price of 1,234$ per ounce.
This week has been marked as the period of the increase of the prices of gold. Last time when the minimum price of gold was recorded was March, 17, and it made up 1,142.90$ per ounce. At the present moment, the precious metal has been trading around 1,200$ per ounce. It needs to be said that in the beginning of the year 2015 one ounce traded at 1,182$.
On the other hand, the decrease of the price of precious metal to a level lower than 1,150$ per ounce has a certain advantage: such kind of decrease has impacted the demand of the precious metal in developing countries in a positive way. In particular, this concerns such countries as India and China – investors in these countries are sensitive to any changes in the prices of gold.
Those who look for the best opportunity to buy gold with the most profitable price, do it together with many thousands of people in the Emgoldex online store. They buy investment gold bars of the highest quality and with such profitable price of gold, create their own personal reserve to guarantee their well-being in the future!
Share this piece of news for everyone to know the best opportunity to buy gold!

I liked the pictures of all of the animals. The ducks was my favorite part of the story because they are babies and they are sweet.
I wondered what kind of animal he was going to choose for a pet. I was very surprised!
The pictures in this book looked very real. I think the pictures were illustrated with markers.
I recommend this book for 1st graders who like animals. I like animals and I really liked this book. This is a good book for a person who has a pet, too.

Beef Fat in Your Laundry?
While researching Monday's piece on laundry balls, I came across another interesting bit of information on dryer sheets.
According to Eric Ryan and Adam Lowry, authors of Squeaky Green: The Method Guide to Detoxing Your Home:
Beef fat (aka tallow) is the secret ingredient that makes your clothes so soft. The very stuff you cut off your steak so you won't gain weight or clog your arteries is coating your sheets, towels, shirts, jeans, even your underwear.
Ryan and Lowry, who founded the Method brand of nontoxic cleaners, recommend eco-friendly vegan dryer sheets that are made from plant-derived substances like canola oil. You can even reuse the sheets as dust cloths after you've finished your laundry, they say.
Method makes Squeaky Green Dryer Cloths. Another option is Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Dryer Sheets. Both products are available at natural and organic food stores.

Monsanto Will Appeal Brazilian Superior Court of Justice Ruling on Roundup Ready Soybeans Patent Term Correction
Monsanto Company (NYSE: MON) said it plans to file an immediate appeal
of a recent ruling by a single judge of the Brazilian Superior Court of
Justice, relating to the company's request for term correction of a
patent covering its Roundup Ready® soybean product. The company will
move forward with the next phase of the appeals process to secure its
intellectual property rights and ensure its business is not disrupted in
the country.
Monsanto has previously obtained patent protection in Brazil for its
first-generation Roundup Ready soybean products. In accordance with
Brazilian law, Monsanto has sought to correct the term of its patent
rights in Brazil to conform to the 2014 patent term granted in the
United States.
This ruling represents one intermediate step in the ongoing legal
process within the country. Monsanto will seek review of that decision
by a full panel of judges of the Superior Court of Justice.
Additionally, Monsanto has previously filed an appropriate appeal which
has been admitted to be heard by the Supreme Court of Brazil. The
Supreme Court ultimately will hear and decide the patent term correction.
"We plan to file an immediate appeal with the Superior Court of Justice
and look forward ultimately to presenting our case to the Supreme Court
of Brazil at a later date," said Todd Rands, Monsanto's Legal Director
for Latin America.
Monsanto, similar to other companies, holds intellectual property rights
on its inventions. This approach has played an important role in
fostering new investments in Brazilian agriculture production.
The company also said it remains committed to ongoing dialogue with
farmers and their representative groups in order to pave the way for
innovation in agriculture, as this is one of the critical paths towards
delivering value to Brazil's farmers and its economy and meeting the
demands of our growing planet.
About Monsanto Company

solutions and agricultural products that improve farm productivity and
food quality. Monsanto remains focused on enabling both small-holder and
large-scale farmers to produce more from their land while conserving

Duke waitlist
April 19, 2004, 08:18:07 PM »
Got waitlisted so I have a couple of questions:
When is Dukes final acceptance date for admits?
Whats the amount of money for the tuition deposit?
What are the real odds of getting in from the waitlist? The letter states they have no order just choose to keep the class balance they want.

Another query.
if you accept a place at another graduate school and accept the financial aid package offered then get into your waitlist school what happens to your financial aid package? As i understood it you are only allowed to accept 1 package so hows this work out?

Am i the only one on Dukes waitlist here?
To answer my own questions:
1. Final Acceptance date is normally 15th April. So i assume the bulk of vacancies generated would likely be full by now. Bugger.
2. Dont know.
3. It would seem my odds are very very long. Oh well looks like law schools not for me so off to do a masters instead.

Well still waiting and hoping.
Did what i could, submitted some extra info and wrote a letter promising to accept a place if offered but at this stage still no joy
The second deposit deadline appears to be 1st June according to the rules and polices:
Policy 1-7. Candidate Responses
To secure a place in the class, admitted applicants must submit two non-refundable deposits. The first deposit deadline for most admitted applicants is April 15, with the second deposit due June 1. Candidates who are accepted somewhat later than the majority of the admitted applicants are given a later deposit deadline to allow them a reasonable period of time to decide whether to make a commitment to attend Duke.
Approved by Admissions Committee October 1992.
I would assume therefore that most vacancies would occur around these dates as people are forced to make their mind up finally and submit larger sums of money. I am guessing that if nothing comes in the next 2 weeks then I can pretty much give it up. Bummer!
Did anyone else hear from them? Did anyone get in to Duke from the waitlist? did anyone get told they were on a priority waitlist? I understand it exists:
Policy 1-6. Discretionary List
Once the Committee has extended the agreed upon number of offers of admission, candidates in which the Committee remains interested are invited to remain on a waiting list for further action. Applicants on a wait list are not ranked, but the list is divided into a "priority wait list" of the most qualified candidates and a regular "wait list" for other highly qualified candidates. Applicants will be taken from these lists by the Director of Admissions in consultation with the Associate Dean as ended to fill the class to the targeted size. All wait list applicants are notified of admissions decisions as soon as possible.
Approved by Admissions Committee October 1992.
Do they tell you if you are rated as priority? Interested to hear from anyone else on Dukes list.

I got into Duke off the waitlist. There is a priority waitlist; I was put on it after a bit. My advice would be to contact the school A LOT - almost to the point where you feel like you're being a pain. I contacted the Dean of Admissions every couple weeks to check in and let him know how interested I continued to be in attending Duke. I sent in about 6 additional recommendations, a couple extra essays (informal email letters) on my other interests in Duke and law school that I wasn't able to convey in my original application, and I visited the school to meet with the admissions people. Visiting is probably out at this point in the game, but the idea is to let them know that if they chose you, you would definitely attend. They want to know that when they pick someone, they will be excited to attend and they will 100% accept the invitation. Good luck guys. I understand the waitlist pain. Feel free to ask more questions. I'd love to know who else got in off the waitlist and any numbers people have on the waitlist candidates (ie. how many people were on it? how many got accepted? how many got moved to the priority waitlist?)

My LSAT was a 160 (not near as high as I'd wanted or expected based on my practice exams) and my GPA was around a 3.8. I think what did it was my visit to the school where I was able to talk with Dennis Shields (Dean of Admissions) in the hallway randomly one day. He then knew me by name and I kept in touch with him and kept sending in stuff. My LSAT score definitely didn't help me. I'm happy to answer any other questions. Are you still on Duke's waitlist?

Good to know. If I'm waitlisted, and not flat out rejected, I plan on "doing the rounds" at all the schools I was admitted/waitlisted at. The admits are just to walk around, talk to some people and get a feel for the place. The waitlist visits will be all about kissing ass and trying to make a good impression with the people who count.

Model Was Drenched In Honey And The Resulting Photos Are Breathtaking
Please like us to get more great stories like this
'Preservation' by Blake Little
March 5, 2018
At first glance, you might not know what you are looking at. Upon closer inspection, it's true beauty.
Portrait photographer Blake Little covered models in honey for his series entitled "Preservation." Caught in movement, but trapped in the viscose honey, the models in "Preservation" begin to look like sculptures in motion.
The idea was born when he used a little honey as a prop in a more traditional photo shoot. Little immediately noticed how a hand drenched in honey looked like it had been preserved in amber.
Little sought out models of varying ages and body types. He found the honey to have a "democratizing effect."
Here's a few select pieces of his work:
By transforming the individuals into living sculptures, viewers can look past traditional ways of categorizing people, and into the idea of humanity as captured in each photograph.
In some pictures, the honey takes on a different form. Rather than a sealant that captures life, it is a nourishing substance that gives life. Out of it, a man is born.
Like larvae hatching from their eggs, the struggle to be born and to find a place in life is captured in this powerful image. Blindly they grope for each other, hoping to find purpose and safety in each others' community.
"Preserved" is one of the strongest sets of portraiture I have seen yet.
The complete series can be purchased directly from Blake Little via his website. Individual prints are also available for sale.
If you would like a closer look, the series is being exhibited at the Kopeikin Gallery in Los Angeles through April 18, 2015.
