text: Endless Eyes Pro Eyeshadow Palette - Limited Edition is rated 4.0709 out of 5 by 663. Rated 3 out of 5 by PamL from Marble Palette I bought this paletteand I like it, but there are other palettes like the 144 palette that are better. The pigmentation is okay, but you may need a primer or wet your brush before applying. Overall, this is an average palette. Date published: 2014-06-19 Rated 3 out of 5 by girlwholovesmakeup from Its alright. I bought this a while back in august and i thought it was amazing. but i was just a begginer not know what good eyeshadows were and the diffrence between plain eyeshadows were.Its a great palette for beginners in makeup because it has some neutrals and pops of color in it but they definetly have fall out and the colors don't show up that pigmented with out a primer.So if your going to get this get the 1$ primer from here too! The only bad thing i would have to say about this is that it is so big and not easy to bring with you anywhere and you can fit it it most storage, Also the mirror is very tiny and my whole entire top piece of the pallet came off so dont expect this pallet to last forever ;) Date published: 2014-06-12 Rated 5 out of 5 by makeupjunkie55 from Awesome for stage makeup!! I purchased this because the variety of bright colors was perfect for the stage makeup i was doing for the play at my school. As with other elf eye shadows, i found that the pigmentation is a hit or miss. Some are extremely pigmented and others are not. I found though that majority of them are very pigmented and apply smoothly. :) Overall, i recommend this to someone doing makeup for a play or for someone who wants to experiment with color without spending a ton of money. :) Date published: 2014-06-03 Rated 5 out of 5 by Beauty123 from ELF - Endless eyes Palette MUST HAVE I bought this palette a few months ago and it is a great product. The colors are extremely pigmented. This palette has a wonderful array of matte and shimmery shadows. I found that the matte colors apply best when you spray the brush with water or some time of all purpose spray like MAC fix plus because they are the slightest bit chalky. Date published: 2014-06-01 Rated 5 out of 5 by AmberM from AWESOME PRODUCT! I own both of the palettes, Absolutely love them. Will buy again when I run out! I love the products and the company. They give customers great quality for such an affordable price! LOVE E.L.F.!!! Date published: 2014-05-23 Rated 4 out of 5 by camillascalise from Good I like this pallete but the pigmentation it's not so good Date published: 2014-05-09 Rated 3 out of 5 by Nora01 from I like this pallet but I would invest in another So this review is long over due.I just got into makeup and I had bought this pallette for that purpose which is to practice applying eyeshadow the right way. This palette did just that, I was able to experiment different looks and I got the hang of it. Once I get the colors to look how I want them to look the colors stay on all day. I highly recommend their $1 eyeshadow primer for best results. However, do keep in mind that you get what you pay for so not all the colors are well pigmented and they can be a little hard to blend at times. For the price is a good palette but I would stick to their smaller palettes because they are easier to work with and the pigmentation is better. s Date published: 2014-05-04 Rated 4 out of 5 by CierraG from Great Pallette, Great Price, Some Hits & Missed I got the "marbled" version of this product meaning it contains some marbled eyeshadows. Almost of the colors are the colors are really pigmented, smooth, and vibrant. However, there are a few that literally have barely any color. I would recommend a eye shadow primer or base so the shadows have something to stick onto. Overall, great palette that is lots of fun to play around with at an extremely affordable price ! Date published: 2014-04-27 Rated 5 out of 5 by txpeaches from Love this palette! I bought this as well as the NYX double palette. I have to say that I use this one more than the NYX simply because it travels well and is much lighter. I recently dropped it and lost a couple of colors, but because its so cheap, I can easily reorder. The only drawback I have found is that some of the colors are not as pigmented as I'd like, but overall a good value. Date published: 2014-04-24 Rated 5 out of 5 by Nilla from Love it. I bought the Marble palette. The pigments are great. Ive used a few different colors from this for about a week now and everyday, the shadow had lasted all day. I satisfied with this palette! Date published: 2014-04-21 Rated 2 out of 5 by Traycm4532 from Great colors I got this when they were having 50% off, so thought i would give it a try. Because i got the teal creme eyeliner and teal tease pigment eyeshadow on clearance at walmart. I have very sensitive eyes to make up. So no problems with the teals. But i did have a reaction to this marbled palette. Bummer cause the colors are awesome and went on smooth but they r a little hard to blend on my eyes.But i am not giving up, i will be trying other elf products. Date published: 2014-04-16 Rated 5 out of 5 by jazzy24 from nicee I ordered mine yesterday and it came in one day... today i tried it on very good quality and pigmented i love it Date published: 2014-04-02 Rated 3 out of 5 by Halaaay from I got this as a free gift for my birthday and I loved it at first! But I wore it one day and woke up the next day and my eyes were swollen! I had even washed it all off. I do have sensitive skin so I'm guessing that's why.. I would only recommend this to someone who doesn't have sensitive skin. Date published: 2014-03-31 Rated 5 out of 5 by Briana from It's amazing!!!!! I bought this, among other things, for my fourteenth birthday, and so glad that I did! I also bought the primer in sheer by e.l.f simply because some colors aren't as pigmented as others. But it's still amazing! Date published: 2014-03-27 Rated 5 out of 5 by makeupwhore73 from Pigments! I have both of these and I must say that I thing skin type and skin tone play a big factor in how bold your colors are. I have read some mixed reviews and I know from past, way past, experiences that e.l.f. colors are not bright, but whatever they are doing now is awesome. When using these palettes I can create amazings eyes that last all day. Maybe my skin loves e.l.f., I have purchased so much from this company and have not been dissatisfied yet! <3 these Date published: 2014-03-20 Rated 1 out of 5 by LeahMayhem from I received the regular version of this (without the marbled shadows) as a free gift with an order. Because I didn't pay anything for this, I'm pretty satisfied just by the range of shadows. This would definitely be good if you wanted to create a wide range of looks.However, as most others have said, the color payout is awful--the shadows look really pigmented in the pan, but are hardly visible if not used with an eyeshadow primer. I also use ELF's Makeup Lock & Seal with these shadows--I dip the brush in the Lock & Seal, then into the shadow, and I apply it that way, which really makes the colors show up. There are definitely ways to work around the lack of pigmentation, but, if this were a better-quality palette, the shadows would work well on their own. I have also noticed the unpleasant smell of the shadows, which is a turn-off, and the packaging is obviously low-quality. One of the pans (the white color on the upper right-hand side) is loose and I expect it will fall out soon, which is ridiculous. I've had this palette for less than a week; it hasn't seen a lot of use. Overall, I'll continue using this palette because it was free and because I like some of the colors, but I still prefer my higher-end palettes and I wouldn't recommend that anyone actually spend money on this. Date published: 2014-03-19 Rated 4 out of 5 by mell from great to practice with the colors dont show very well on my eyes without the mineral face primer and THEN these colors pop! its great to practice with im sure i'll buy again Date published: 2014-03-16 Rated 5 out of 5 by TanyaMarie from Beautiful colors Very satisfied with the pigment of these colors. They aren't outrageously pigmented, but are highly buildable. And you can't beat $10 for 100 colors. Date published: 2014-03-14 Rated 2 out of 5 by pinkwasp from Not all are marbled! If you think they are marbled they aren't! If you have the same palette that's not marbled, then just buy individual marbled colors you would use. Date published: 2014-03-03 Rated 3 out of 5 by Fancy from Works Good with Primer! I bought this over a month ago, Does not work good with out eye primer!!! I really like it once I started using eye primer with it! Date published: 2014-02-23 Rated 5 out of 5 by mexarican21 from Love this product!!! ok so I had bought this a month ago in the marble colors I have hazel/ green eyes and I love this product I do use a primer on my lids first just to get a bolder effect, they are very pigmented, and they do not crease at all which I love. I do use the mist and set spray which does help a lot. I do wish you had a smaller version so I can take it on the go but its not that big of a deal Date published: 2014-02-19 Rated 3 out of 5 by beginnermkup from Good beginner set I've had this for about 6 months. I bought this despite reviews saying their palette case came cracked or broken. I thought, "That won't happen to me." Guess what. It happened to me. The top part of the case broke at the hinges so it's really inconvenient to store and I can't take this palette with me when I travel.Aside from that, this is a good beginners set. I use a primer on my eyelids before I apply any of the colors. Some of the colors only require one or two sweeps to show up bold like I like them to. Other colors are very sheer and don't go on as well.Overall if you're looking to experiment with colors and aren't looking to deplete your wallet, I'd recommend this. Date published: 2014-02-17 Rated 3 out of 5 by aerupbeauty from I would never spend my money on this. I received this marble palette as a free gift with purchase and it's not E.L.F's best work. Most of the eyeshadows were disappointing in multiple ways, not the mention the "marbled" shadows. There are only 10 marbled shades and more than half of them are just overlays. I can only pick out a handful of shades that I will continue to use. Date published: 2014-02-16 Rated 4 out of 5 by autumnjade from Above average.. its alright I bought this a few weeks ago and i was really excited. but when i actually tried on the eyeshadows i thought.. meh. The pigmentation of some of them are great while others, not so much. I didn't experience much fall out like a lot of other reviewers. Overall, I'm glad I did get this palette, but I do think that I could've done without it. Date published: 2014-02-04 Rated 2 out of 5 by Kaisey from I don't love it I bought this product a few months back. What I don't like about it is, is there is a ton of fallout from these shadows. While fallout isn't normally THAT big of a deal, it tends to have so much fallout that the color won't stick to my eyelid and ends up all over my cheeks. The only way I can make it stick and last for a few hours is if I apply it wet and use a really good eye base (primer). The product is way too powdery for my liking. I love elf's baked eye shadows so much, so it was disappointing that these didn't have the color payoff or long wear like their other products. Date published: 2014-01-27 Rated 4 out of 5 by BeautyGuru365 from Good For Beginers 1.Don't get fooled when you first get the package..The crushed eye shadow is just the outer box. 2.This is a really good pallet for beginners but it does not stay on very long. 3.This pallet is a little messy if you put your brush onto it too hard. But other than that,I'd recommend it for a beginner. It is definetly worth the money. Date published: 2014-01-19 Rated 5 out of 5 by Ava1 from Couldn't Live Without It! This palette is definitely one of my have-to-have items. The eye shadows are all pigmented and smooth, and come on, no company can beat Elf's quality and prices! Date published: 2014-01-18 Rated 3 out of 5 by jk24 from Lots of colors Bought this hoping to be more experimental with my looks, turns out I stick to the natural tones more than anything. I rated it only 3 stars because I never felt inspired to use the other 'fun' colors, just not me. But good for those who need hard to find colors! Date published: 2014-01-14 Rated 5 out of 5 by rcbonner from Best palette I've ever had. Colors for every occasion. Perfect for traveling. Date published: 2014-01-09 Rated 2 out of 5 by aquaNikki from At first I was like 'wow what a deal !' But After 3-4 months i will not but that again. - It's sheer and hard to apply because of that. - It creases- A lot of powder comes off the palette and it's messy. I think it's still worth it. It's handy to have around but you should get a few better ones along with it. I don't understand why there's three shimmery black that are exactly the same instead of one matte etc. For 10$, you're for sure not throwing money away, it's a good price/quality deal. But don't expect to have something of high quality and super pigmented.

5 Ways to Rebound From a Layoff
Learn a few tricks for falling forward.
When you get laid off, it hurts. You're thrown completely off-course, and usually at the worst possible time. Whatever your reality was in the morning, it's completely different by the afternoon. But fear not, here are five steps you can take to regain control of your career:
1. Negotiate your severance. Everything is negotiable, even with a company that has no money. If negotiation scares you, this is the time to practice your skills; you literally have nothing to lose. You can ask for more severance, the ability to keep your work computer, or to receive extended insurance. In this situation, ask for the moon, and you'll probably end up with something.
Even if you've been notified to pack up your things already, you can still make an appointment to talk to your supervisor or human resources department again. No one expects you to have it together when you're being told you've lost your job. And remember, don't sign anything until you're in the right frame-of-mind.
2. "I'm happy to make this as easy as possible." You feel hurt, ashamed, and embarrassed. It's OK to feel those things, but there's no reason to. And you should know it's just as embarrassing and gut-wrenching for the company. They don't have the money to pay you. Stay professional, keep your tears and anger for the phone call with Mom, and be the bigger person. Make sure to communicate with your colleagues that you're happy to make the transition as easy as possible.
3. Ask for a reference. Being laid off has nothing to do with your performance, so you should definitely ask your boss and colleagues if you can use them as a reference, and it doesn't hurt to see if they know of any opportunities either (another reason why you don't want to burn bridges). Let team members know you've enjoyed working with them and to keep an eye out for you. People want to help. Don't try and act like you don't need it.
4. Contact your networks immediately. The only way to get back on your feet quickly is to put yourself out there immediately. While it may feel awkward to tell people you've been laid off, it's important to let your network know exactly what you're looking for. Try to email your peers within a day or two of receiving the bad news, like tearing off a band-aid. Then, be open to opportunities that don't quite fit your ideal situation. Consulting, side jobs, and exploring new industries are all great options that quickly allow your financial and emotional wounds to heal.
5. Look at your budget. For peace of mind, you need to know how much of a financial runway you have, even if it's the last thing you want to do. Look at your budget, decide what your minimum living expenses are, and get a good sense of the size of your safety net. Hopefully you'll have three months worth of salary in your emergency fund, but in today's market, six or twelve months is better. When you know, you can breathe (or hustle).
Those first few hours of dread and disappointment suck. But if you can push through, you'll be able to regain your shaken confidence and take back control of your career. Remember, you've got this.

Eamonn Fingleton, Contributor
A sharp eye on media bias, official propaganda, and globaloney.
For U.S. citizens concerned about their nation's fate, the New York Times packed some particularly depressing news yesterday: although Obama administration officials have long had the goods on Chinese economic espionage, they are afraid to say so.
As the Times's David E. Sanger reported, the administration has circulated an analysis detailing Chinese cyber attacks on corporate America but has withheld the one fact that matters: most of the attacks can be traced back to a district in Shanghai where the Chinese military's cyber-command is based.
Why can't the Obama administration call a spade a spade? As explained by one anonymous U.S. intelligence official, the administration is worried about hurting the Beijing Poliburo's feelings! He commented: "We were told that directly embarrassing the Chinese would backfire. It would only make them more defensive, and more nationalistic."
Nonsense! This is a bit like not challenging a pickpocket because the poor fellow might get huffy. Sanger's report is the clearest possible evidence of what some East Asia watchers have long suspected: that Washington is full of appeasers who lack the intestinal fortitude to stand up to Beijing.
This is spinelessness on a scale not seen since British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's Munich moment in 1938. Declaring that he had achieved "peace for our time" (a phrase often misquoted as "peace in our time"), Chamberlain was convinced that Hitler would be satisfied with the annexation of the so-called Sudetenland and would not push further. Czechoslovakia followed six months later and Poland within a year.
The idea that pussyfooting will impress Beijing is self-evidently ludicrous. Anyone who knows East Asia (I claim some knowledge after 27 years on the spot) knows that, in common with most human beings, Chinese leaders respect strength, not weakness. By treating their feelings like a piece of priceless porcelain, Washington is just asking for ever more outrageous Chinese infringements of American sovereignty. Certainly in former times when Washington was franker about expressing its displeasure, Chinese officials thought twice about pushing America around.
Obama and his top officials seem to be listening to the wrong advisers – advisers who are increasingly obviously intent on furthering China's interests over America's. There is nothing new here. Many of the top "China hands" in American think-tanks and universities who advised Bill Clinton on the sell-out deal that gave China permanent normal trade relations in the late 1990s were clearly in Beijing's pocket. That is why their praises were sung by the Washington trade lobby. The lobby needed to get the deal done and, if that meant burnishing the reputations of obvious stooges and quislings, so be it.
The extraordinary thing is how blatant China's government-sponsored cyberspying has now become. When Coca-Cola, for instance, planned to take over a local Chinese soft drinks company a few years ago, Chinese hackers were discovered to have accessed top-secret memos on how much the Americans were willing to pay. Perhaps most humiliatingly, even America's most sophisticated tech companies, not least Google and Apple, have had their defenses breached. Recently even the computers of the New York Times and the Washington Post have been targeted. As the New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd has pointed out, Beijing is now in possession of all sorts of embarrassing and even compromising information about the personal lives of countless top American journalists.
The message for Barack Obama is that it is past time to get Beijing's attention. This is the cyber equivalent of a Cuban missile crisis and Obama has to decide whether he is a man or a mouse.
Obama is a cheese eating rat.
Look at his ears – He is a Mouse
"Obama has to decide whether he is a man or a mouse." What is journalism coming to suggesting the leader of the democracy could be likened to a mouse? Worm is more like it. This president lacks a backbone and makes his decisions on political polls.
He is actually more like a weasel.
I find it hard to believe that any half-way intelligent "cyber unit" can't hide their location. I CAN believe that a half-way sophisticated "cyber unit" would be quite capable of leaving "bread crumbs" right to whom ever they want's IP address. That's President Obama's dilemma.
Very good article and one that's long overdue. You won't see this type of analysis on the network "news" shows (which are all part of the "entertainment"division of their respective networks!) as they are Obama apologists that will continue to blame everyone else for Obama's failures.
Man up Mr. President, and call them out on their outrageous behavior! Man or mouse; lion or louse. You choose! The Chinese will, of course, threaten to stop buying our worthless bonds, but when you owe a few trillion, the "lender" has a problem, not the borrower! And besides, they'll have a difficult time finding other markets for the goods their workers churn out. If they cut us off, they will have the mother of all depressions as a result. They won't do that and Obama should know that! Unfortunately, his whole history (well, what little is known and verifiable), points to a man that seems to want to destroy our society as opposed to rebuilding it.
It's past time to wake up America, and demand better from the current puppet at the top, and all of the little puppets in Congress (both houses)!
Ask Bin Laden that question. Oh you can't can you……..well thats the answer
A reply to David Townsend:
Bin Laden would say "the navy seals killed me. who is this wimp obama you speak of?"
Let's be honest. Obama only agreed to proceed with the mission when he was convinced by his advisors that his upside would be substantial in an election year. The real heroes were the seals and the thousands of Americans that were working for over a decade to discover Bin Laden's location. I say….credit where credit is due. Any president would have made the call to proceed with the mission. Unfair to give credit to Obama alone. I agree with the author of the article, Obama needs to get tough with the Chinese, period. I doubt that he will
That's because the navy seals killed bin laden. What does obama have to do with bin laden?

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Winners of down-ballot offices in
November's general election are set to take office on Monday.
For Attorney General Jack Conway and Treasurer Todd Hollenbach,
it will be the beginning of second terms when they're sworn in at
the Capitol in an 11 a.m. EST ceremony.
The two Democrats withstood strong Republican challengers to
retain their offices.
Incoming Democratic Secretary of State Allison Lundergan Grimes
will be sworn in during the same Capitol ceremony, as will
Agriculture Commissioner James Comer, a Republican, and Auditor
Adam Edelen, a Democrat.

By Ashley Boncimino, Crain's Chicago Business [1], May 29, 2013
Activist groups in Chicago are trying to raise awareness of an ordinance passed this year by the City Council that can strip employers of business licenses if they're found guilty of wage theft — the illegal withholding of wages from employees.
The ordinance, which was passed in January and takes effect in July, says that companies found to have committed two or more "willful or egregious" violations may have their licenses revoked.
Now, labor groups and observers say, the trick is to spread the word to workers about their rights and press the city to crack down on employers.
"Most workers know they're being taken advantage of," said Arise Chicago Worker Center Program Director Adam Kader, who helped draft the ordinance and bring it to the City Council. "But they aren't aware of what they can do about it."
One new tool activist groups are turning to is a 32-page graphic novel called "Wage Theft: Crime and Justice."...
Even as more workers become aware of wage theft, cracking down on employers who engage in it is tough, observers say. In Cook County, employers unlawfully retain an estimated $7.3 million per week from workers in low-wage industries, according to one study by the University of Illinois at Chicago's Center for Urban Economic Development.
Yet while it's obviously illegal not to pay workers, some businesses won't return wages even after being ordered by a court to do so, said Ari Weisbard, advocacy manager for the Employment Justice Center, based in Washington.
The reason? A 2012 report from the Progressive States Network noted that the ratio of federal Department of Labor enforcement agents to U.S. workers has fallen from one for every 11,000 in 1941 to one for every 141,000 today.

When Greg Martin and Michelle Larrabee-Martin opened Kolo Collection ten years ago, they were among the earliest retailers in the Westside district and among the first to offer upscale outdoor furniture directly to Atlanta homeowners. Now they've become pioneers again—literally knocking through the back wall of their Howell Mill store to connect with their new venture, Atlanta Made, which showcases local artists. "We've been following the 'Made in America' movement for years," says Greg. "But local artists were frustrated that they didn't have a good place to market their products."
The new boutique features forty local artists in a wide variety of genres. Photography by Marilyn Suriani, bonbons from Chocolate South, sofas from Bjork Studio, handmade tables by Rough South Home, and jewelry by several artisans are part of an ever-changing collection that continues to expand.
The gallery is accessible through the original storefront or from the back of the Westside Urban Market shopping center, where a deck facing the city skyline shows off outdoor items. While Kolo focuses mostly on big-ticket furnishings, Atlanta Made will have more gifts and seasonal products. "I'm already looking forward to December," says Greg. "There isn't much going on in outdoor furniture sales around then, so we're going to have a lot of fun with holiday events."
Amy Wikman, owner of Bjork Studio, which sells both ready-made and custom furniture at the new store, enjoys connecting with other artisans through the Martins' new space. "Most of the vendors already work together in many capacities—collaborating on area restaurants, residences, or commercial spaces," Wikman says. "We already have a great deal of camaraderie and consider these artisans and companies our colleagues, and also friends. Michelle and Greg have created not just a store, but a community." 1187 Howell Mill Road, 855-285-6233, atlantamade.us

When people go out to lunch or dinner, they expect to sit down to a clean, well-ordered environment that ensures their food is being prepared under optimum conditions.
A customer's first impression is tied to basic items on a checklist a restaurant inspector marks off when visiting each location. Is the bathroom clean, with plenty of hand soap, paper towels and toilet paper? Can you count on your counter server not to cough in your face as he takes your order?
The number of times am inspector visits a restaurant depends on how it prepares and presents food, or whether it is offering commercially prepackaged items commonly found in convenience or grocery stores, said Cherokee County Health Department Public Health Specialist Josh Daily.
"It's going to be different for different facilities. Some require as many four inspections a year, while we have some that require two inspections. There are some that require only one inspection," Daily said.
Local public health specialists do not have to inspect detention centers, jails, prisons or nursing homes, as other public health divisions oversee that responsibility.
The type of information and number potential violations stems from the specific public audience being served in a facility.
"And it's going to depend on what kind of operation the facility is offering. Some do strictly prepackage commercially processed foods, while some could have full food service," Daily said. "You know whether they have fryers and cookers in the back, and if they're holding food hot and holding food cold."
A major consideration – especially when comparing restaurants in one county to those in another – is the size of the facility.
"We look at what kind of operation are they doing, how much opportunity is there for violations to be found," he said. "Obviously, you're going to have more violations the more opportunity there is for them."
When a facility receives a violation, it is notified and given an opportunity to address the problem. Subsequent and frequent health inspection checks then take place.
"I would say in my experience, restaurants seem to be very eager to learn what they are doing wrong, and if they're doing something wrong, what can they do to correct the problem," Daily said.
Aside from other specific guidelines and regulations checked, some fundamental areas Daily takes note of include employee hand-washing, food cross-contamination, employee health, and food storage temperatures.
The last two inspections conducted at Charlie's Chicken revealed no violations reported, according to the Oklahoma State Health Department website, and store Manager Junior Sierra said Chicken strives to create an environment that is always clean.
"I always try to establish the mentality with the employees to treat it like it's your home. You want to be here, and you want it be clean and things to look good. The only way you can make it look good is to keep things up to par," Sierra said. "As far as food, we always make sure it's kept at the right temperature. Even just storing it before we cook it, we make sure it stays in the right temperature zone so it doesn't reach that bacteria stage."
That's especially critical with chicken, he said, and also with fresh vegetables.
"That's what we deal with every day. We have gigantic cabinets that we store the chicken in once it's cooked, and we keep it at 180 degrees. That'll keep the temperature above the 133-degree threshold that it has to maintain," Sierra said. "By doing that, not only do you provide a good product, but it's a quality product – all the essentials you need to run a good business, as well as to keep everything up to code for health inspections."
At the end of each day, and if at least 1 gallon of vegetables remain, Charlie's Chicken will usually save those items to be used the next day, said Sierra.
"We bring those down to 70 degrees and then put them in the cooler. Then once in the cooler, it'll reach the 40-degree maintaining level," he explained. "Then in the morning, when we bring them back out, we'll reheat them to 180 degrees and then we'll serve them at the 160-degree temperature. That's what's required, and that's the same [process we follow] with the cobbler."
Charlie's doesn't reheat any chicken for the next day, and that same procedure is followed by most reputable restaurants.
"Our chicken is always cooked fresh. If we do reheat chicken, it's just for things like if we make it with chicken and dumplings, but it's kept in the cold unit," Sierra said. "That way it stays at a nonbacterial level where we can reuse it the next day for the dressing or the chicken and dumplings. All that's very carefully watched. If it's been reheated the day before and we still have some left over at noon, we'll toss that out."
Per the state website, some other local or area restaurants that did not receive a violation upon the last inspection by the public health specialist include Akropolis, The Twig, El Zarape, New China Super Buffet, Jimmy's Egg, Asian Star, CherryBerry, Rib Crib, the Subway location in Park Hill and the Hulbert Subway location. (This is not a complete list.)
Other facilities either reported violations for issues like cross-contamination or temperature violations for cold hold of food. Inspection reports were not available many area restaurants or businesses.

In an act of extreme cowardice and betrayal, a U.S.-trained Afghan police officer opened fire and killed at least three members of the American Special Forces after being invited to a dinner under the pretext of discussing security.
According to reports, details of the incident remain foggy. The premeditated murder occurred in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan at a checkpoint location. The gunman ran from the scene after the shooting and disappeared into the surrounding landscape. The names of those killed will not be released until their respective family members are notified.
This continues to beg the question of why our American forces are forced to maintain a presence in the area in a clearly dangerous environment where even our so-called allies are blood thirsty.
Here's a link for further details of the situation:

2.20: Lay Down Your Burdens Pt.2
I thought the first half hour of this (one and a half hours) a little slow. The mission to Caprica got resolved a little quickly considering how long it would take to return. The priest turned out to be a Cylon (don't see how no one realised there were two of them before.)
Then on to the election - why rig it? Why do something illegal? Use political means. Why not just spread the rumour about Baltar? He didn't/couldn't deny it. So, Roslin has no proof. So What! Rumours need proof? Since when? That's why they are rumours!
Then they jump a year ahead! Nicely done, I thought, but we have missed so much. They have been on New Caprica longer than they were running from the Cylons - that's what Adama said.
Obviously, the Cylons were going to return. It was only a matter of time. They deserve to be wiped out by the Cylons.
So, I guess that is the end of the series (and the end of man).
We will never find out if Earth exists.
Good series, but unfulfilling ending

Strange one this I thought. When they jumped the year forward it was so kind of surreal in a way I was thinking, this isn't real, someone is dreaming this - you know, like a premonition. But apparently not.
Was it my imagination or had Apollo got a little soft and flabby !
I've seen a soundbite interview with James Callis - Baltar - about season 3 and he says its the darkest sci fi ever coming up......so we'll see

As I warned you before, it was THE worst, stupidest, insert whatever derogatory word you want, episode to any series I've seen to date. I mean come on....after all she's done, lacking any common sense AT ALL knowing Baltar is in bed with the cylons, Adama and the President hand over control of mankind to him? I mean who CARES if you cheated - you were doing what you had to do to save mankind, that isn't something in which you can make a mistake. Nevermind the other stupid petty lead ups - oh except somehow the cylon girl getting the nuke and somehow Baltar is never linked to it. Go figure - the entire colony are a group of regressed infantards. Sorry, this series still really gets under my skin, mainly because they took something that was very good and I was enjoying and totally ruined it. It's not like Sci-Fi shows grow on trees nowadays. Thank god for Doctor Who. They can just drop BG - though even the good things I like about Doctor Who won't last forever.

At the Wellhead: China struggles to open its energy sector to more non-state entities
By Yen Ling Song | July 28, 2014 10:50 AM Comments (0)
China is shifting its focus on state-owned enterprise reform, but it still remains to be seen if the SOEs will make significant changes to the roles non-state entities can play. Song Yen Ling discusses China's energy sector reform goals in this week's At the Wellhead column from Oilgram News, and also takes a look at whether internal turmoil within China's dominant upstream player is a hurdle to advancing projects.
Australian Wolf stalks Mongolian oil opportunities
By Christine Forster | July 25, 2014 10:15 AM Comments (0)
Mongolia might not be the first place that springs to mind as a potential investment destination for oil and gas players, but one small Australian company is hoping the recent passing of a new petroleum law will open up opportunities in the landlocked nation between Russia and China.
Wolf Petroleum is the only Australia-listed oil and gas company operating in Mongolia. But the industry minnow, capitalized at just A$5.5 million ($5.2 million), claims a position as Mongolia's largest petroleum acreage holder, with one production block and two exploration areas covering more than 74,400 sq km (18,000 million acres).
The last contango? ICE Brent futures curve breaks from backwardation
By Alison Ciaccio | July 24, 2014 05:24 PM Comments (1)
In early July, there was a shift in the ICE Brent crude futures market — the backwardation that market players had become accustomed to flipped into contango. Some even said the market "collapsed" into a "supercontango" in a way not seen since 2008.
A contango market suggests ample supply in the prompt market, as the futures price of a commodity is above the expected future spot price. The contango in the Brent curve seems to suggest fatigue in oil demand, some say.

A small Maine city may have set off a big fight over oil movements
By John Kingston | July 23, 2014 03:13 PM Comments (0)
The next big fight in the war over oil and gas development in the US — or at least one of the next big fights – will be over local control. That issue ramped up this week and appears to raise a significant question of federalism.
The city council in South Portland, Maine, voted this week to approve a package of zoning restrictions that would affect the handling of crude oil in the city. But the laws were drawn to impact the handling of oil being put on to tankers. It doesn't affect oil being taken off tankers.
Why this is significant is because South Portland is the eastern terminus of the Portland-Montreal Pipeline, which takes crude oil imported into Maine and brings it to Montreal near the St. Lawrence Seaway. It can be refined in Montreal, or moved down Line 9 to Canadian refineries in Ontario.
The political calculations of ethanol in Iowa and in Washington
By Herman Wang | July 22, 2014 12:01 AM Comments (0)
Conventional political wisdom has held that given Iowa's importance in US presidential contests as host of the first-in-the-nation nominating caucuses, the Renewable Fuel Standard is pretty much unassailable.
The federal biofuels mandate enjoys immense bipartisan support in the state, where corn is king.
Candidates hoping to curry favor with state voters would need to wholeheartedly endorse the RFS or at least pay lip service to the law while campaigning there. Iowa, after all, leads the nation in biofuels production, with 41 ethanol plants in the state, along with 18 biodiesel facilities.
But, if RFS opponents are to be believed, the political landscape could be changing.
Petrodollars: The Western Canadian LNG business attempts to launch

East Africa must avoid LNG delays to compete with rivals
By Jacinta Moran | July 18, 2014 10:55 AM Comments (2)
Mozambique and Tanzania are locked in a race to be first to export gas from East Africa, so much so that the region may emerge as a strong competitor to Qatar and Australia in the battle to capture key export markets in Asia.
Geographically, East Africa is ideally placed to supply LNG to Japan, China, India and South-East Asia all of whom rely heavily on LNG imports.
LNG from East Africa should be cheaper than from Australia but such an advantage may be wiped out if Mozambique and Tanzania are unable to develop their potential before a glut of other new supplies depress prices.
Did the US Commerce condensate export rulings mean nothing?
By Brian Scheid | July 18, 2014 12:01 AM Comments (1)
Two US Commerce Department rulings giving a pair of Eagle Ford players legal backing to export processed condensate have been viewed as a dramatic loosening of America's 40-year ban on crude exports, or at least a sign that long-awaited export policy changes were near.
But what if these private letter rulings really only impact the companies that received them and nothing more?

Most people remember that modern presidential debates beginning in 1960, when candidates John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon debated on television for the first time in American history. The moment is remembered less for the candidate's rhetoric and more for Kennedy's youthful appearance — aided by makeup — and Nixon's pallor and sweaty brow.
But the next general-election debates were not until 1976, starting the tradition of two or three debates each presidential election cycle. Those 1976 debates happened to coincide with the second season of Saturday Night Live, a quickly growing cultural phenomenon. The TV show set its own tradition by parodying each of the three 1976 debates, featuring Chevy Chase's bumbling Gerald Ford and Dan Aykroyd's sleazy, rambling Jimmy Carter. The televised debates lent themselves perfectly to SNL's sketch-comedy format.
Now, no presidential election is complete without an SNL send up of the debates. Check out some of the hilarious highlights from each election year below.
Remember the drama surrounding the first presidential debate of 2008? It was scheduled only days after the bottom fell out of the U.S. economy, and there was no assurance that Republican nominee John McCain would even show up.
McCain had phoned his Democratic opponent, Barack Obama, and the two candidates agreed to issue a statement supporting bipartisanship in stabilizing the faltering economy. But in a surprise move later that day, McCain suspended his campaign and called on Obama to cancel the debate. Obama pushed back, saying he would show up to debate regardless of McCain's presence.
Saturday Night Live ran with that, as "McCain" tries to continuously change the debate format in the skit. Pie-eating contest? Strip tease? It's just another maverick move.
2008 SNL Debate Parody
Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry insisted that he had specific plans to help America, and Saturday Night Live was happy to help him spread the message. In the second presidential debate of 2004 — a town-hall format — the candidate used the phrase "I have a plan" 13 times, at one part starting six consecutive sentences with those words.
For his part, Republican George W. Bush was a bit jumpy during the debate, bantering over the moderator a few times. He also presented a new Bushism — "Internets" — which SNL ran with.
Side note: Bush cited National Journal during his closing statement of the debate, mentioning that the magazine had named Kerry the most liberal senator.
2004 SNL Debate Parody
The first 2000 presidential debate was perhaps the easiest of them all to parody. It featured the unveiling of Al Gore's "locked box" for Social Security and Medicare and Bush accusing Gore of "fuzzy math."
"Look, this is a man, he's got great numbers," Bush said at the Oct. 4 debate. "He talks about numbers. I'm beginning to think not only did he invent the Internet, but he invented the calculator. It's fuzzy math."
But SNL really hammered home the locked box. Although Gore used the phrase only three times in the debate, he seems a man obsessed in this debate send-up. But having Gore start nearly every answer with "Under my (plan, proposal, tax plan, etc.)," is dead on. The vice president used a variation of the phrase 13 times in the debate.
2000 SNL Debate Parody
Illeism — talking about oneself in the third person — is normally the territory of athletes and celebrities. But Bob Dole brought the practice to the 1996 presidential debates.
"I think the best thing going for Bob Dole is that Bob Dole keeps his word," he said in the first debate.
Saturday Night Live used this clip from Dole after the debate in an animated short. The show has a long history of mocking politicians with audio of their own words in animated shorts. In this short, cartoonist Robert Smigel poked fun at Dole's age, Clinton's philandering, eating habits, and perceived dislike of his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
1996 SNL Debate Parody
The Bill Clinton lothario tropes Saturday Night Live has used to parody the former president for much of his public life were not as present in this 1992 presidential debate parody. Instead, Clinton is parodied for being the steward of a backwards state and his slippery explanations of past exploits.
Clinton had spent time in Moscow during a 40-day trip while studying as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford; incumbent George H. W. Bush wasn't one to let the issue die.
"I don't have the facts, but to go to Moscow one year after Russia crushed Czechoslovakia, and not remember who you saw — I think the answer is, level with the American people," Bush told reporters.
Bush is parodied here by Dana Carvey, who levels these kind of hyperbolic attacks throughout the skit. At the end, Carvey as Bush goes off the handle, proclaiming "never, never, never" will he raise taxes again. The president had still not lived down his broken 1988 campaign promise, "Read my lips, no new taxes."
Also notice that Carvey is impersonating both Bush and independent presidential candidate Ross Perot in this debate. His lines as Perot were pretaped.
1992 SNL Debate Parody
Compared with Dana Carvey's 1992 Bush impression, this 1988 version of the then-vice president is glasses-free, flush with a full head of hair, spotlight averse, and enamored of buzz words.
The portrayal reflected the perception of the Republican nominee's 1988 campaign rhetoric. Bush repeatedly used the phrase "a thousand points of light," at the Republican convention as a reference to charity work being done around the country.
And he brought into the first debate three times. Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis said, "I don't know what that means."
1988 SNL Debate Parody
The 1980 presidential primaries were hotly contested on both sides. Former Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy launched an insurgent campaign against incumbent Democrat Jimmy Carter, while Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush fought it out for the Republican nomination.
Saturday Night Live lampooned the contested primaries and the meaninglessness of both second-place finishers' continuing to campaign even after all was lost, with this debate for "third place."
Again, notice the increase in hair for Bush. And check out Bill Murray's best Boston accent as he impersonates Kennedy. Maybe a hint of his future playing Franklin Roosevelt.
1980 SNL Debate Parody
Presidential-debate parodies got their start at Saturday Night Live in 1976. The show lampooned President Ford for his incorrect comment, "There is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe and there never will be under a Ford administration."
Despite the moderator's immediate offer to let him clarify his comments, Ford barreled ahead.
"Each of those countries is independent, autonomous: It has its own territorial integrity, and the United States does not concede that those countries are under the domination of the Soviet Union," he said. "As a matter of fact, I visited Poland, Yugoslavia, and Romania to make certain that the people of those countries understood that the president of the United States and the people of the United States are dedicated to their independence, their autonomy, and their freedom."
SNL mocked Carter for an odd interview he had given to Playboy, where he said he had "lusted" after women other than his wife during his lifetime.

It's hard to imagine a more heinous crime than the recent shooting of Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani schoolgirl-turned-blogger whose online criticism of Taliban efforts to crack down on girls' education in her native Swat Valley made her a target for the extremist group.
While on her way home Oct. 9, Malala's bus was stopped and boarded by two gunmen, who asked "Which one of you is Malala Yousafzai?" One aimed at her and fired twice, hitting her in the face and neck, before shooting two other girls and fleeing.
As horrifying as her story is, the reaction to Malala's shooting in Pakistan and worldwide proves that even the worst cloud can have a silver lining. The most important news, of course, is that after traveling to the United Kingdom via a United Arab Emirates air ambulance, Malala underwent successful surgery to remove the bullet lodged in her neck. She emerged from sedation days later, and this week Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik announced that she has started to speak again.
Malala can take also solace in the broad worldwide condemnation of the attack, which has even come from Arab heads of state, such as Abu Dhabi crown prince Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who said it was "not only an attack on a defenseless child, (but) an attack on her and every girl's right to a future unlimited by prejudice and oppression."
Massive crowds denouncing the Taliban have marched in numerous Pakistani cities, and the lower house of Pakistan's parliament unanimously passed a resolution condemning the attack and demanding punishment for her attackers. Even Pakistan's clerics were outraged; more than 50 signed a joint fatwa declaring the attack an un-Islamic crime against innocent people.
Most surprisingly, some clerics have even urged the government to launch a military campaign into Taliban-controlled lands. The likelihood of this is doubtful; Pakistan's government can't exert the same sort of control over its military leadership that a stable, functioning state can. And Pakistan's powerful military and intelligence establishment has a history of sponsoring clandestine militant groups for use as proxy forces against Pakistan's neighbors.

Not much going on with only a few Sabres taking the ice this morning in preparation for tonight's home opener against the New York Rangers. Scratches appear to be the same as Friday night, with Nathan Gerbe, Mike Weber and Chris Butler sitting out. Cody McCormick also skated but coach Lindy Ruff usually doesn't change a winning lineup.
It's the first back-to-back of the 22 sets the Sabres will play this season, but the team got home shortly after midnight from Ottawa so Ruff isn't concerned about any residual effects.
"We kept all the forwards under 20 minutes last night," Ruff said. "Our energy and focus should be good. ... I thought we played a real solid game until we had to kill the three penalties in the third period."
The Sabres could have easily had five or six goals in the first two periods, when they had a 29-12 edge in shots. Thomas Vanek had six shots on goal in the game and was robbed on several point-blank chances. Ruff was happy to see his team persevere in the third period to get the win.
"If you have frustration in your game, that can often lead to some careless plays or mistakes to give the other team an opportunity to get back in the game," Ruff said. "Our focus in the game was very good. I'll guarantee you that if Thomas gets six chances tonight, he'll be on the scoreboard. You won't keep him off. It usually doesn't take him that many."
---New third jerseys tonight as well as the unveiling of the 2010 Northeast Division championship banner. Looking forward to the team's pregame video salute as well.
"On the one hand, it's one of 82 games but we know our fans are really excited to see us back," said Ryan Miller. "We'll be appropriately excited too."
---The Rangers are expected to scratch Tim Kennedy. The South Buffalo native, who cleared waivers and is back with the club, is a spare forward now that the Blueshirts have signed Ruslan Fedotenko. "Tough situation for Tim," Ruff said.
Post-skate update: Kennedy was the last Ranger off the ice. "This is my new team. That's my old team," Kennedy said of the Sabres. "I wish them all the best but I hope they lose tonight."
Kennedy admitted he's had a difficult summer and getting put on waivers by the Rangers this week added to the drama but that he's happy he cleared and is still with the club.
"There's a little cliche saying in this league that if Wayne Gretzky can get traded, anybody can be traded, bought out, waived," Kennedy said. "I'm just trying to roll with the punches."
---Chris Drury, who is on injured reserve with a broken finger, is skating with the Rangers for the first time since the injury. (Post-skate update: Drury said he has a timetable for a return that's a lot faster than the month originally expected. "I don't want to say anything that's going to be argued with. I just hope it's as quick as possible and we'll take it day to day.")
---The regular media members here made sure to say hello to Mike Robitaille, who's in the house getting set to make his return to the MSG airwaves tonight. Great to see him.
---Mike Harrington

Intensifying its push for an NFL stadium in downtown L.A., entertainment conglomerate Anschutz Entertainment Group launched an unusually direct and public attack on one of the most prominent critics of the proposal.
Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich had planned for the county board to take a position Tuesday opposing AEG's bid for special state protection against environmental lawsuits. But AEG revealed that his wife had been seeking hundreds of thousands of dollars in consulting fees from the company's affiliate in Shanghai, posing a potential conflict of interest.

Globe Staff Writer
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. —
The Missouri House of Representatives passed legislation Thursday that would require voters to present a form of photo identification at the polls.
The policy, known as "voter ID," has been long sought by Republicans in Missouri to combat alleged cases of voters casting fraudulent ballots. During floor debate, however, despite hours of repeated questioning from Democrats, Republicans did not point to any specific cases of voter fraud in Missouri.
Democrats accused Republicans of pushing policy that could disproportionately affect the party's base — urban voters, often minorities.
"Jim Crow is alive in this room," state Rep. Chris Kelly, D-Columbia, said during floor debate late Wednesday night. "This is the single most immoral act that I've ever seen happen in my time in the General Assembly."
House Speaker Tim Jones, who is working closely with Kelly — a veteran lawmaker who is one of the few Democrats with a committee chairmanship — said he felt Kelly's accusation that the legislation had some sort of racial impetus was out of line.
"I was very disappointed that Rep. Kelly decided to go down that road," Jones said. "This has nothing to do with racism. This has everything to do with protecting the integrity of our electoral system."
The bill was sponsored by state Rep. Stanley Cox, R-Sedalia, and supported by the entirety of the Joplin-area delegation — including state Reps. Charlie Davis, Tom Flanigan, Bill Lant, Bill Reiboldt and Bill White.
In the Senate, President Pro Tem Tom Dempsey, R-St. Charles, said the proposal was not a priority for his members and that he wanted to focus his attention instead on economic legislation.
"It is not a top-tier priority," he said. "We continue to be interested in making sure that people are able to vote easily and that there is no fraud in the system. We will consider legislation where we think we accomplish those goals."
Workers' compensation
The Senate passed legislation that would fix the state's broken second injury workers' compensation fund. The bill — sponsored by Sen. Scott Rupp, R-St. Charles — calls on employers to pay more into the fund, caps the size of awards anyone can pull from the fund, and identifies occupational diseases the fund will cover.
The fund, currently millions of dollars in the red, is in a severe backlog. Rupp, along with Attorney General Chris Koster, representatives of the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and others, had repeatedly met in private to work on a solution to the fund's financial problems.
"It is now near insolvency, with more than $28 million in outstanding liabilities and thousands of cases that haven't even been considered yet," Sen. Ron Richard, R-Joplin, said in a statement. "There was a great deal of urgency with this issue, and I was proud we moved quickly to address it this year."
The legislation now moves to the House, where Jones said members will seriously consider the Senate's bill.
Medicaid expansion
House Budget Committee Chairman Rick Stream introduced his fiscal year 2014 budget and, as expected, he did not include funding for Medicaid expansion — as called for by Gov. Jay Nixon. He visited Joplin last week for another stop on his statewide campaign, making his case that accepting federal funds for expanding the state's Medicaid rolls is "the smart thing to do" and "the right thing to do."
"We are facing an important business decision for the state of Missouri: Do we bring billions of dollars back home to Missouri, or do we let our tax dollars — dollars that already come out of Missourians' paychecks — go to work in another state?" Nixon said during a visit to Missouri Southern State University. "If we take a pass on these dollars, some other state will get the benefit and we'll get the bill."
Legislative Republicans have said they do not want to accept federal dollars for expansion because of its effect on the federal debt, as well as its potential influence on the state's credit rating, which Moody's has said could be weakened by further expanding the state's reliance on federal funds.
Speaking with reporters in Jefferson City, Nixon said the state's AAA credit rating is not at risk. A greater threat, he said, is the looming "sequester," the automatic spending cuts that would affect entitlement and military spending, the latter of which is important to the military bases in Missouri.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Former U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning has weighed
in on Kentucky's race for auditor by endorsing Republican John
The Kemper campaign announced the endorsement on Friday.
Kemper and Democrat Adam Edelen are running for the auditor's
job, which is being vacated by term-limited incumbent Crit Luallen.
Bunning, a former Major League baseball pitcher, served in the
U.S. House and Senate for more than two decades. Bunning's base of
support is in the Republican-leaning northern Kentucky area where
GOP candidates for state-level offices have been campaigning
heavily in recent weeks.

Crusaders End Spring Break Trip on Winning Note

Sunday, March 17, 2013
The Valparaiso softball team concluded its spring break journey on a winning note on Sunday, downing Cornell in its finale at the USF Spring Invitational in Clearwater, Fla. by a 4-3 score.
"It was a good win for us to end the trip on against a solid Cornell team," said Crusader head coach Jordan Stevens. "We played well over this trip and I'm pleased with where we are at heading into this coming week."
A solo homer by Cornell's Michiko McGivney kicked off the scoring in the top of the third, but the Crusaders answered immediately in their half of the frame. Redshirt junior Jessie Marinec (Alsip, Ill./Marist) led off with an infield single, and three batters later, junior Angie Doerffler (Fort Wayne, Ind./Concordia Lutheran) walked to put two on for fifth-year senior Joylyn Ichiyama (Torrance, Calif./Redondo Union). Ichiyama would bring them both home with a two-run double to left, giving the Crusaders a 2-1 lead.
Valpo would add a pair of key insurance runs in the fourth. Freshman Janelle Bouchard (Kennebunk, Maine/Kennebunk) led off the inning with a double and would later score on a two-out single by senior Tori Brown (Harrison, Ohio/Harrison). Two batters later, Brown would score as well, crossing the plate courtesy of an RBI base knock from Doerffler which made it 4-1 Crusaders. The insurance runs would prove key, as Cornell scored a pair in the sixth on an error and a sacrifice fly. The tying run was actually on third base with no outs in the seventh, but freshman Taylor Weissenhofer (Homer Glen, Ill./Lockport Township) registered a pair of strikeouts and induced a fly-out to secure the victory.
Freshman Sierra Pico (North Las Vegas, Nev./Legacy) earned the victory for Valpo, starting and allowing just one earned run over 5.1 innings of work to improve to 5-4. Weissenhofer picked up her third save of the year. Sammy Roth took the complete-game loss for Cornell (5-7), falling to 0-2. Freshman Kaitlyn Ranieri (Schererville, Ind./Lake Central) led the Crusader offensive attack with three hits Sunday, while sophomore Brittany Duncan (Fairborn, Ohio/Fairborn) reached in all three of her plate appearances.
Valparaiso (13-10) is scheduled to return home for the home opener at the Valparaiso University Softball Field on Wednesday with a twinbill against Western Illinois. With the current forecast, however, keep tabs on ValpoAthletics.com for updates regarding the upcoming schedule.

When the award-winning photographer recently returned from shooting in Shanghai, China, he was scheduled to show his photos at the Galerie Lipao-Huang in Paris. But Barbey saw a chance to promote his work beyond the gallery—he decided to create a custom professional-quality photo book of the images in his exhibition,
Shanghai Universelle
To produce the limited-edition photo book and have it ready for the exhibition opening, Barbey turned to HP Indigo technology.
Speed for every creative opportunity
Barbey has been a member of Magnum Photos for 45 years. He's a pioneer of color photojournalism and a veteran of tight deadlines. But producing a high-quality photo book posed a different challenge—especially with the exhibition less than three weeks away.
Using the HP Indigo press 5000, e-Center, a respected Paris print service provider, was ready to help Barbey produce the book in record time. The HP Indigo digital press offers responsive throughput speeds to meet tough deadlines: up to 4,000 4-color 8.5 x 11-inch images per hour (two-up). Barbey explains:
"The speed of the
HP Indigo digital press
gives me more freedom
to act on my creative
Versatility to serve the artist
Having the speed to meet deadlines can help fulfill an artist's vision, but it takes more than speed to create a distinctive work of art. With the HP Indigo digital press, Barbey was able to produce a truly special 140-page photo book that stands on its own—each of the first 100 books came in a clamshell box with a signed print.
The HP Indigo digital press makes customizing fine art projects easier with three paper-feeding trays that simultaneously accommodate a wide range of media types and weights, from 50 lb text to 130 lb cover. The digital press's compatibility with high-quality finishing solutions also helps artists add stunning custom covers to their photo books.
Visitors to
Shanghai Universelle
have certainly responded to the exceptional book. It has been so popular that Barbey is looking to reprint more.
"With the HP Indigo digital press, I know I can do 100 copies, and then 200 or 300, and very quickly launch a new edition that's different. It's excellent to have," says Barbey.
Barbey's book was also the first to use ARTtrust technology, a new self-certification system developed by Prooftag™ in collaboration with HP.
Fine art photo quality
The HP Indigo digital press is able to rival the quality and color range of offset printing with its liquid HP ElectroInk and up to seven colors. This assured that the vibrant color and intricate detail Barbey is known for was perfectly represented when his latest book came off the press.
In Barbey's prints, a Shanghai skyline combines precise geometry and vivid tones. Metal meshwork crisscrosses an ashen sky like a delicate lace. Neon light glows in myriad reds.
Barbey felt the HP Indigo digital press captured it all. "The prints in the book are superb using the HP Indigo," he says.
"The quality of the color matching is unique—
I'm seeing the exact colors I saw and shot. "
