The statue of Prometheus overlooking the ice skating rink In New York's Rockefeller Center. Heavy use of LucisArt here, because I like the illustration quality it gives.
I saw this last week and I've got to say it was pretty damn good. Granted, the screenplay (written by Damon Lindelof and Jon Spaihts) good have been a little better. The dialogue was the most hackneyed of the entire script but the narrative and overarching story was not too bad. But, aside from an ok script, Ridley Scott brilliantly directed this. This was a perfect example of directors salvaging scripts. If Scott didn't do this film, I think it would've been forgotten about. Scott has returned to an antiquated form seen in his "Alien" and "Blade Runner" days; this strange return is heightened by the fact that almost all of his previous films have been dramas and not so much genred films like "Prometheus". But, "Prometheus" on the flip side has a dramatic touch to it, so Scott's directing styles compliment each other. The cinematography is also brilliant, shot (and on the Red camera too) by Dariusz Wolski.
I suggest seeing this film for its entertainment and subtly latent art. Also, if one likes Scott in this rare form they will have to wait a while because next he is doing a hardcore drama/thriller "The Counselor". What is even more fascinating about the project is that it is penned, and his first script too, by Cormac McCarthy, the novelist who wrote "No Country For Old Men" and "The Road" amongst many other brilliant pieces. So if we think Scott is in rare form with "Prometheus", I think he'll double it up with "The Counselor"
Here's a link to the International trailer, which shows more of the story:
I filled the cups too full.These are strawberry rose water, gluten free, protein cupcakes. I filled the cups 2/3 of the way, and this happened. Shoulda just gone half way... They still tasted good though! A little bready but some adjustments and hopefully I'll perfect it soon. Adding protein powder makes stuff kinda rubbery at times. Maybe egg whites will offset it. When I get the recipe down, I'll post it.
A friend on twitter saw the cupcake picture (@elementalgeek) and said they looked like Prometheus Cupcakes, so the name stands! It really does remind me of those capsules full of ooze they found... YUM!
Prometheus is a 1934 gilded cast bronze sculpture by Paul Manship, located above the lower plaza at Rockefeller Center in Manhattan, New York City. It is 18 feet (5.5 m) tall and weighs 8 tons.
Paul Manship's highly recognizable bronze gilded statue of the Greek legend of the Titan Prometheus recumbent, bringing fire to mankind, features prominently in the sunken plaza at the front of the Comcast Building. The model for Prometheus was Leonardo (Leon) Nole, and the inscription, a paraphrase from Aeschylus, on the granite wall behind, reads: "Prometheus, teacher in every art, brought the fire that hath proved to mortals a means to mighty ends."
A pebble that perhaps looks a bit like something you might see with a good telescope or when riding in a Voyager spacecraft?

The cave at Kumistavi in Imereti is named after Prometheus which many believed thad been chained to the Khvamli Mountain nearby. Some also say that it was mixed up with the Caucasian legend of Amirani, who like Prometheus, angered the gods and was punished and locked inside a huge cave.
The cave was only discovered in 1983, and today tourist has the opportunity to explore about a tenth of the cave, which runs about a kilometer long within the cave complex.

Rockefeller Center in New York City is a virtual shrine to Prometheus. His golden statue stands at the head of the central fountain, with lines from Aeschylus inscribed below.
In Greek mythology, Prometheus, or Prometheas' (Ancient Greek, Προμηθεύς, "forethought") is the Titan chiefly honored for stealing fire from the gods in the stalk of a fennel plant and giving it to mortals for their use.
