Day 163 of 365 (Year Three)
Today was a long day. Savanah only had a half of day of school with it being the last day and all. Not only was it a half day, but she also came home with a friend. So instead of having just the one to deal with, I had double the trouble. Fortunately, another of Savanah's friends called wanting a play date so I did get a break.
After the play date I picked them up, brought them home and we got Savanah ready for her Orange Belt Test. She did a great job and made us all very proud of her.
After the test, Pop Pop took us out to dinner to celebrate. Savanah was thrilled to have her friend along with us for that. They were both still a bit giddy from all the excitement of the test, but all in all pretty well behaved. When two seven year old girls get together the overall volume in a room seems to increase ten fold. I'm going to have to see if there is some scientific reason for that. I really don't understand how two kids can manage to do that. You'd think it would only double the volume.
After dinner I dropped off Savanah's friend and headed home. It was bedtime so after saying our farewells to Pop Pop we shuffled Savanah off to bed and settled in for the evening and I promptly fell asleep on the sofa in the middle of playing Farm Town on Facebook.
I woke up around 2 and realized I hadn't done my shot yet, so I played around with the flash for a bit and ended up with this. It is a simple photo edit, but I really like how it turned out. Now I am off to bed again. I have an early call for the Browncoats movie in the morning.
Looking at a package of Band-Aids revealed that they are putting Braille on the packaging. I don't know how long they have been doing this, but its pretty impressive. Given my research, the hope is that one day Braille will not be necessary, but for now, this is excellent product packaging. An example of an additional expense put into a products packaging that is simple, yet dramatically increases the packagings functionality.
In the Western classical tradition, Prometheus became a figure who represented human striving, particularly the quest for scientific knowledge, and the risk of overreaching or unintended consequences. In particular, he was regarded in the Romantic era as embodying the lone genius whose efforts to improve human existence could also result in tragedy: Mary Shelley, for instance, gave The Modern Prometheus as the subtitle to her novel Frankenstein (1818). -
Prometheus (Ancient Greek, Προμηθεύς, "forethought") is the Titan chiefly honored for stealing fire from Zeus in the stalk of a fennel plant and giving it to mortals for their use. For that, Zeus ordered him to be chained on top of the Caucasus. Every day an eagle would come and eat his liver, but since Prometheus was immortal, his liver always grew back, so he was left to bear the pain everyday.

Unbekannte Täter haben der Marmorfigur "Der gefesselte Prometheus" in der Akademie der Künste am Pariser Platz den Zeigefinger der rechten Hand abgeschlagen. "Das war ein Akt des Vandalismus", sagte Archivdirektor Wolfgang Trautwein. 2002 war die Skulptur des Bildhauers Reinhold Begas nach ihrer Restaurierung dort wieder aufgestellt worden, wo man sie 1943 zum Schutz vor Zerstörung eingemauert hatte. Den abgeschlagenen Finger wollen Studenten der Fachhochschule Potsdam neu modellieren. Die Skulptur soll künftig abgesperrt werden. (Berliner Zeitung, 2. März 2009)

Statue of Prometheus at the Rockefeller Center, New York.
If you're into such stuff, you might want to check out this site, the premise of which is that the overarching theme of all the artworks at the Rockefeller Centre is Luciferianism. Uh-huh....
Many movies have used the skating rink at the Rockefeller Center (right in front of Prometheus in the winter months) as a location, including Home Alone 2.

Prometheus was the son of Iapetus who was one of the Titans. He tricked the gods into eating bare bones instead of good meat. He stole the sacred fire from Zeus and the gods. Prometheus did not tell Zeus the prophecy that one of Zeus's sons will overthrow him. In punishment, Zeus commanded that Prometheus be chained for eternity in the Caucasus. There, an eagle (or, according to other sources, a vulture) would eat his liver, and each day the liver would be renewed. So the punishment was endless, until Heracles finally killed the bird. Prometheus is known to be one of the most interesting characters in Greek Mythology

Three models of the .45ACP Prometheus MP-86 machine pistol: military model, spec ops configuration, and civilian commercial version. Its fire rate is comparable to the well-known "Skorpion" machine pistol, and the military version features full automatic fire. The spec ops version is limited to a three round burst for control purposes and the civilian version is semiautomatic. Both the spec ops and civilian models feature a reduced 15-round magazine in place of the military version's 20-round box.
My attempt at a Lego prometheus ship. Not a big fan of the movie but I love this ship. Its like a smaller ship with a smaller crew. The cockpit is larger and this is a view of that underside cockpit view window

Prometheus liebt die Menschen. Er bricht das Monopol der Götter und bringt dem Menschen das göttliche Feuer, das Licht der Erkenntnis.
Durch seine Solidarität, seine Treue und Freundschaft finden wir – durch Instinkt und Einsicht – den Weg zurück nach Hause.
Hab Dank Prometheus!
