Michelle before and after the big bangs
Here in the Grazia beauty department we're well known to be quite the fans of Michelle Obama's beauty choices. If anyone knows how to work a good grey nail it's the First Lady herself. Yesterday, which was incidently her 49th birthday, Mrs O up'd the beauty anti by adding some rather chic new bangs…
And from where we are standing it seems that bangs are currently proveing themselves a popular beauty choice. Not only were they a HUGE trend on the a/w catwalks, but then Kate Middleton chose that long Farrah Fawcett style version and Kim Kardashian went for a soft long look more recently too. Mobama's needless to say, is a fringe-with a difference; thick, glossy and slightly shorter, her bangs are somehow blunter, more choppy and well, fabulous. A sure winner, all we're left wondering is whether the first lady's new do is the work of her longstanding hair dresser Johhny Wright or, dare we say it, an impressive set of clip ons…? Only time will tell!
Those of you longing for a bit of a new season update would be wise to give these all new, all versatile and most importantly all flattering fringe a go. Longer and fuller than we've seen it for a while, this fringe works whatever you're hair length or type. Snipped into long hair the result is pure bohemia and shorter hair is given a softer, more casual edge. "The secret to achieving this season's fringe is to avoid anything too wispy, keep it long, heavy and ever so slightly rounded on the edges," says backstage hair styling hero Luke Hersheson, "It's versatility lies in the multiple ways it can be styled; you can literally flit from Madonna, to Jane Birkin to Kate Moss with a blast from the hair dryer or a spritz of product." Bear in mind that most good salons should offer a free fringe trimming service (always avoid the DIY chop), and ask your hairdresser to cut your fringe dry so you can ascertain how much it will bounce up. Want to try before you buy? Hersheson's salon offer their famous clip in Winge service – Try the Rock Chick and the Sharp fringes.

East Lansing � Michigan State kept pounding forward and Michigan kept going backward, and that�s where the rivalry sits right now, only one tough guy on this block. You can�t say this was an eye-opener because we�ve seen it before, although not this punishing.
The Spartans splattered the Wolverines 29-6 Saturday and if that counts as bullying, they might as well keep it up until someone stops them. Afterward, Brady Hoke didn�t say much and Mark Dantonio didn�t need to say anything. The numbers said it all.
The Wolverines were embarrassed, overwhelmed at times, and Devin Gardner had no chance. The Spartans sacked him seven times, and when you add up all the negative plays, the Wolverines finished with an astounding minus-48 yards rushing.
Is Michigan State�s defense that stiflingly good, or is Michigan�s blocking that bad? The answer: Yes. The Wolverines vowed not to get shoved around again � offensive tackle Taylor Lewan had brought up the bully angle � and then went out and got shoved around even more.
�I think we did it worse today,� Michigan State linebacker Denicos Allen said. �Two years ago was nothing. It was a lot worse, and I think they felt it. � Call us what you want, call us little brother, big brother. But when it�s on the field, we show who�s the big brother and who�s the little brother.�
That�s hitting where it hurts, and the Wolverines felt it. Gardner couldn�t even finish the game because, according to Hoke, he was �beat up.� It essentially was over moments after it looked like it was about to get interesting. Raymon Taylor intercepted a Connor Cook pass and Michigan had the ball at Michigan State�s 41 late in the third quarter, trailing 16-6.
Futility evident
Then Gardner was dropped for a 5-yard loss, sacked by Allen for a 9-yard loss and sacked by Allen and Ed Davis for a 7-yard loss. Just like that, it was fourth-and-31, which actually looked manageable compared to the fourth-and-48 the Wolverines faced earlier in the game.
Al Borges� game plan was oddly scattered and he needs to reevaluate what he�s doing, especially with that young and woeful offensive line. But frankly, Pat Narduzzi�s blitz-happy defense would have shattered it regardless. Michigan State�s defense is No. 1 in the nation, and people can pick apart the lack of quality competition all they want. But this group is loaded, breathtaking to watch, even for the Spartans� offensive guys.
�I just watch on the Jumbotron, and pretty much the only thing I saw was them in the backfield the whole game,� Cook said. �It was almost like Devin couldn�t even breathe.�
The pattern is growing, and impossible to explain away. With five victories in the past six meetings, Michigan State is the type of grinding, rumbling team Michigan is trying to become. Hoke has a bigger issue than he probably expected, and deep into his third season, the Wolverines look no tougher in the trenches.
Since Dantonio took over in 2007, the Wolverines� point total in this game has dropped every year, from 28 to 21 to 20 to 17 to 14 to 12 to six, and they haven�t scored a touchdown the past two meetings. Dantonio knows the rivalry, relishes the rivalry and finds players who want to line up and slug it out. Michigan won 12-10 last season, a brief respite. You can�t control your own state if you can�t control your own lines, and Michigan State is in control right now.
�We�re not trying to go out and bully anybody,� Dantonio said, his postgame mood respectfully reserved. �They got big guys too. But we�re gonna play hard, we�re gonna play like I�ve been taught throughout my coaching career. We�re gonna play good defense, we�re gonna try to run the ball and we�re gonna try to physically win.�
Defensive schooling
That�s what they did, all day long, up and down the wet field on a drizzly day. The Spartans have so many defensive stars, it�s hard to pick one, although Allen, Shilique Calhoun (2.5 more sacks) and Max Bullough are great places to start.
Now the Spartans can aim even higher, in command of the Legends Division at 8-1 (5-0 Big Ten). With their remaining schedule � bye, at Nebraska, at Northwestern, home to Minnesota � they�re a heavy favorite to reach the championship game, where they�d likely face Ohio State.
This was one of Dantonio�s finest moments, and as the final seconds ticked away, he pointed toward the celebrating student section, and the roar grew. You�d think by now, with Michigan�s struggles, everyone would be done with the big brother-little brother talk. Clearly, it has motivated the Spartans since Mike Hart stirred it back in 2007, and they�re not letting it go until someone takes it from them.
If Michigan wants a return to old brotherhoods, it has to figure some things out, and it isn�t as simple as better play-calling from Borges and Greg Mattison. As awful as the offense looked, especially after a bye, there weren�t many answers to Michigan State�s defensive ferocity.
The interior of Michigan�s offensive line is young, but it shouldn�t be that weak. Fitz Toussaint had nowhere to run and wasn�t effective blocking. If you can�t run the ball and get sacked every other time you drop back, the options dwindle.
Hoke looked a bit shell-shocked afterward, and defended Borges� game plan. That�s what a program leader is supposed to do, maintain calm even though repair work is obvious. I asked Hoke if the recent streak indicated a widening gap between the programs.
�I don�t think there is a gap,� he said. �I think they played awfully well, executed awfully well, and I don�t think we did.�
Whatever it is � a gap, a blip, a resounding shift � it�s still there. It was thoroughly evident on this day, in Gardner�s pained expression and in the numbing numbers. And especially in the Spartans� grim-faced determination, as if they knew exactly what they could do, and the Wolverines had no idea what was coming.
Michigan State defensive end Joel Heath carries teammate Isaiah Lewis on his back as the team sings the fight song with the student section after the game. Saturday's 29-6 victory was Michigan State's fifth in its last six meetings with instate rival Michigan. / Dale G. Young / Detroit News

That flower is so Capri!
автор: nobleone:) 1 января 2012
pants that are longer than shorts but shorter than jeans. stupid idiots say capris are for morons but that doesnt make sense. if no one wanted to wear capris and look like a moron why are people still buying them?
if you dont like them simply dont wear them.
if you dont like them simply dont wear them.
I went to the mall today and bought a pair of capris
автор: SexyLexie 18 августа 2007
Half-assed pants that only come halfway down the shin. They manage the magnificent feat if being both too hot when it's hot out and too cold when it's cold out. Only acceptable when worn by pre-teen girls, and sometimes not even then. They also seem to be a favorite of the popular crowd.
Brittney: Did you get your capris at Abercrombie and Fitch?
Ashley: Yeah, but now that I'm 14 I might have to throw them out.
Ashley: Yeah, but now that I'm 14 I might have to throw them out.

Ira loves to dance; especially traditional folk dance. For Ira the rhythmic movement of the human body is perhaps the most sensual act on earth.
Believe it or not, but Ira also has herself a practical side. She is studying to be a pharmacist and though it may not be the most glamorous career, Ira is the kind of girl who takes pride knowing that she is helping the world; even if only a little. The younger of two sisters by only a matter of minutes, Ira is a little shy but knows full well that her youthful figure can speak for itself.
Ira makes her nude modeling debut on Hegre-Art.com and we certainly hope she'll come back for more!

|salvador rios Mexico
sinply the best the most beautiful woman I ever see
|Andrew Cayman Islands
Ira D's young downy skin marries well with the deliberate lighting and seemingly hasty venue selection adding to the eroticism and forbidden nature of this shoot. You can almost hear the din of the dinner party that may be going on in the adjoining room. Well done!
|Woody Wood United States
Ira D. As a professional photographer, I have worked with many beautiful models. Your work is fabulous, and as beautiful as your Luba is, I will not be surprised if some day she moves behind the camera, as well. Ira D. is a natural with posing,(dancing background perhaps ? ), has wonderful facial bone structure and eyes that can hynotize. All my best to you and yours and thanks for this opportunity to comment. Please keep this great work coming. woody wood
|peter Australia
The Best In my opinion Ira D is the best model on your site and that this gallery is also, in my opinion the best set of photos - when are going to see more of her?
|Laurie United Kingdom
Simply Stunning A gorgeous little beauty creatively framed and sensitively photographed. Simply sublime.
|timatits United States
Ira's Icy Shower I could have stopped after the first photo and have been satisfied. There IS something about a woman taking a shower that is truly erotic. Most likely it is because she has an every-day excuse to touch and expose every part of her body. But it is also the water itself; here it glistens like ice on the near-perfect Ira. Look at how Petter's lighting of the shots in the middle of the third page give the effect of sheet of ice covering Ira's torso. The photographs capture the water falling off her body as if frozen in a crystalline form making it appear that icicles are hanging from her breast, tummy, labia and legs. Then (at last) you notice the expression on her face, which does not fit the ice scenario at all. All of this from a girl taking her morning shower! And what is that last photo suggesting we will see in the near future?
|Dan United States
Oh My.... I can not seem to catch my breath! My heart is racing uncontrollably too! Beautiful!
|Ralph United States
Very nice Very sexy and very sensual, but why do most of the models have a fear of smiling?

Ira outdoor Ira is the most beautiful Hegre model in my opinion and I'd love to see more of her. Sadly, in this set, the stink of the cigarette kills any possibility of eroticism for me.

Perfect Model When I saw this girl in the small size photos of the pictures published couple years ago, I knew she was very hot. But I would not have guess she would appear again, because she already worked for you when you have the lower technology. You do still continue to recruit the best model. I love her tan skin.

There's no magical damage on the tank (unless he's kiting and runs into a shadow crash, so just tank still :P), so it can't hurt.
Edit: I'm talking about normal mode, the add in hard mode does magical AoE damage.
So i read something, but would like to confirm it before we do attempts on Vezy tonight
A mages' amplify magic on the tank in this fight...yay or nay?

I believe I saw people in the video stepping in and out of the puddles to regain mana. Was I correct in this? If this is so, is there some sort of debuff that is received that goes away after some time that allows you to start getting mana for health at the starting rate?
well my guild is a strict 10 man guild and we have tried the kiting method with(our usual tank) a pally. THIS IS A HORRIBLE IDEA!!!!
I can not stress how much easier this fight is when everyone is standing still. We have every tank we use just take the surge and we have no trouble. our make-up is as follows for the most part give or take a few changes in range depending on the day.
1 tank - pally
3 healers - Shammy, Disc priest, holy pally
4 ranged dps - varies on the days, any will do
2 melee - rogue, dk
The healers just sit under the boss. I, the disc priest, is the primary healer. healing the MT before and after the surges so that the pally and shammy heal during. I just use renew, PoM, and shield to heal for the most part and wait for the tank to take some damage then penance when needed. when the surge comes i PS and the dk kills a mana puddle for me and i get my mana back by then the surge is over and im back under the boss. of course the shammy and pally help if needed but for the most part just save their mana for surges. They do just fine with whatever they are doing to keep the tank alive. The rogue does all the interupts. and if needed when the other healers need mana which is only like once in the fight the go right after a surge and the dk just kills one a little bit after he kills the one for me.
assuming the range dont ever get hit by the crashes, wich they shoud not be, all heals go to the tank and noone else. Otherwise use your bandages. This is the best way we have found to do this.
I only mention this because we have tried that kiting stuff for 3 weeks before we figured out it sucks and was way easier to just keep him still. If it works for you great but it just did not work for us. There was way to many variables going on when you moved the boss around. shadow crash a laggy melee that is too close to the tank, siphon life or whatever that is on the tank or melee, range issues for healers and dps was just too much for us, so keeping him still takes those all away.
we just did this hard mode in 10 man today and I found that as a resto druid, you can gain mana while still healing awsomely. the thing is,
1. stay in shadow crash and cast 3 lifeblooms + reju
2. move out of the crash and wait for lifebloom to tic off
and what happens is when you cast the lifeblooms in the crash it only costs like 200 mana and the lefebloom ticoff mana return should be 100 mana. but as you are out of the crash when the blooms go off it gives you back mana as you had wasted 800 mana on the lifebloom and it returns you 400 mana per lifebloom.
so when we hit the second phase in the fight I had 100% mana left and had done the most healing.
also it seems when you are out of crash when the lifebloom goes off the healing for that bloom is not lowered.
Hi, first of all sorry for my engish, if u don't want to see mistakes, don't read this post.
I think we got this fight under control for 10 man (at least the tanking and healing part), but we are having problems to beat the enrage timer.
Our ranged dps only do damage when they can be in a cloud, we got em in two groups of two to avoid a lot of healing to the boss.
We got one enh shaman cuting casts, and one ret pally in charge of the green clouds when the healers need it.
The last trys we made to the boss we wiped at 50ks and 400ks of hp, all of em because of enrage. the 4 ranged dps are at 4ks each one, the 2 melees at 2ks, any sugestions where the problem can be?
Also I would like to thank all project marmot authors for this nice howto movies.
World of Logs - Real Time Raid Analysis
This is a WoL from our (only) kill, only 2 ranged (average ~4300 DPS between us, I had more luck with Shadow crashes which accounts for my higher damage done, the melee averaged at ~2300 tank included). The fight took just over eight minutes to finish, so we weren't even close to the enrage timer. I really have no idea how you manage to hit the enrage timer before your healers run out of mana - when Vezax died in the above log, me and the warlock were basically dry (I'd been in one vapor for about 7k mana, the warlock had been in a couple IIRC) and the three healers were also dry and we had used up all the vapors.
Unless I'm misunderstanding you in that you have 6 DPS, 1 tank and 3 healers, I really have no clue.
The enrage time is 10 min, maybe using 2 healers insted of 3 and adding another dps would give us the kill, but our healers don't want to go with two on this fight.
We use one healer on the tank, another suporting him, when the first healer is nearly oom he go to a saronite vapor, while the second starts healing the tank and the third starts with the suport. We repeat that rotation till the end. How do you do it with two healers?
I tank as a prot paladin, I kite one surge and the next one I use cooldowns to give the fight less movement, more control of the saronites and a bit more dps.
We had three healers, two trees and a disc priest. We'd alternate one of them standing "out" (to avoid having Mark in the melee) and two "in" (with the melee) healing the tank. When healer 1 was at 75%, we'd switch that person "out" and the "out" person in, and whoever was "out" was not healing and instead we had the DK DPS run off and grab a vapor that the DK tank later grabbed also, to keep it near or on the healers. When healer 2 was at 50%, we'd switch that person out, and in comes healer 1 again, hopefully at or near 100%. When healer 3 reached 50%, we switched healer 2 back in and when healer 1 was at 50%, switch again, and that's the full circle. The DPS coordinates the crashes so that they grab the ones who go on the "out" healer (you won't have this problem with 3+ ranged DPS) but might want to have an "out" healer so that the "out" healer is the one getting regen together with what DPS also needs it, and the occasional "in" vapor for the healers keeping the tank alive.
Having Vezzie stationary really makes the fight so much easier, but you obviously have the vapor thing down better than us if you can last the full enrage timer. But, as I said, with that total DPS which was higher than ours, you should be killing him at least at the eight minute mark or even earlier. One thing I might note is that we did non-trivial DPS outside of crashes too, 211s spent in a crash for me, and 365s total DPS time (this is slightly inflated by the FFB dot/Ignite, but decently reliable since it's a short one). Most of it was towards the end of the fight when he was going towards 100k or so and the casters just needed to do as much damage in a short timespan as possible so that the melee could finish him off with their steady damage.
It would greatly help if you could show a log from the kill. I suspect there was a lot of healing done to Vezax from Marks - did your DPS group up on crashes and eat ticks from Mark every now and then? He heals for sickly amounts, and when he went from 100k to 150k to 200k in like a second during our kill try cause one of the healers (IIRC) went to the wrong place I was sure it was gonna be a wipe but we kept it together. During our try he healed for 580k damage in total - that's over 25% of my total damage done or just below the total damage contribution of our worst melee DPS - not a trivial amount and we kept the "out" people spread to avoid getting any mark ticks at all and only stood one person in each crash. Perhaps something to focus on next time for you?
Hi again,
We had 2 people at shadow crash, and sometimes the boss healed for some ticks, this might be our problem. We don't have any log sistem, I'll take a look at yours and use it because seems a very helpful tool.
We won't be able to try it until september because we're on holydays now, so the kill is going to have to wait.
Thank you for your help!
If the ranged are stacking up there will be some heals, your ranged just need to move as soon as they get mark and not just stand there and dps.
I haven't seen any posts yet mentioning anything similar, so I'm going to share our guild's 10 man strat. We just downed him for the first time tonight, myself (Paladin) tanking.
Our comp was:
2 Holy Paladin
1 Holy Priest
1 Balance Druid
1 Hunter
1 Rogue
1 Arms Warrior
1 Prot Paladin
1 Ret Paladin
1 Elemental Shaman
We started the encounter tanking General where he stands at idle in the room, with our three ranged DPS at a little under max range, our melee behind the boss, and our healers at the sides of him. With just the DPS at ranged and spread out, we had virtually no health given back through mark of the faceless and there were plenty of black puddles to stand in.
Instead of eating the enrages, I chose to kite him, specifically in the direction of the furthest saronite vapor, which I had marked while running.
Our hunter quickly dropped the vapor, and I positioned the boss such that his back was facing the nearest wall and the saronite pool was just to the left or right of Vezax.
*Our rogue was primarily on interrupts for the entire fight, however, our warrior and myself were ready at the hint of a missed kick or a range issue during kiting.
**Instead of chanting Tuskarr's Vitality, I decided to move 2 points into Pursuit of Justice to make the kiting that much easier.
***The only thing I had to watch out for when kiting was his casting of searing flames, because he stopped momentarily while casting it, even when enraged. This does give you extra time to get some distance, however, it can be very easy to get in range of either a mark of the faceless or a shadow crash.
Even when Sarth 3D rolled around I didn't feel as discouraged about my class/spec as I did tonight in 10man hard mode Vezax. The zero/infinite rage situation really bit me and the raid in the ass tonight. Ugh.
I am a casual guild raid leader and we finally got to and downed General last week on 10 man. Thanks to everyone who posted useful information. We used many of your contributed information to make our raid successful.
Here was what we ended up with:
-Warrior tank
-Two healers (tree and disc priest)
-Amplify Magic on tank
-We kept him stationary (first attempts we tried to kite, stationary>kite)
-We rotated Pain Suppression, Shield Wall, and LS w/ trinkets to get thru the boss enrages.
-We asked our caster dps to only attack the boss when in a shadow zone
-Our druid tree found that LB stacked on the tank while in a shadow zone was uber for mana return and he only had to regen from the green zones once
-The disc priest (me) had to regen mana 4 times, I PW:S and jump in, put a renew on myself and a PoM and wait for a 6 stack and jump out. Gave me enough mana to continue every time. I suggest designating one caster on each side to kill an add for you and just run to wherever it falls. First few times we used a melee to run out and kill one, but we found that he would almost always end up with life leech and have to stand outside the hit box for 15 seconds so he didnt heal the boss to full.
-We used a heal rotation where I would heal MT until I was at 40% mana, then I would call for an add to be killed and tree would take over heals until I was back into play.
-Took us nine wipes over two days to get it all worked out, but in the end, it was easy.
Thanks again to tankspot and all other contributors
Attempted this guy in 25 man for the first time the other day and the main problem was interrupts. We had two rogues (of which i'm one) doing the kicks but in 3 attempts we didn't quite get it down because (for example) we tried to kick another cast like shadowcrash that wasn't the correct one and ended up on CD for when we needed to kick OR someone other than us interrupted and we assumed the other had so got our rotation stuffed up. Anyway it was our first shot so i'm not feeling too bad about it.........
But - what I would like to know from those in the know is whether the spell we need to interrupt is cast on a regular timer or not. Seemed to be about every 10 seconds or so BUT I swear there were several occassions where he appeared to cast the ability we needed to interrupt back to back i.e. i'd kick and a split second later he was casting it again. This did kinda mean anticipating the interrupts was tricky. Anyone know?
We'll be trying with 2 teams of 2 interrupting I think but still good to know the timer on his interruptable cast and whether my seeing him cast back to back as mentioned was for real or just the 5 cans of Stella kicking in ;P
Assign two interrupt teams, one main and one backup on each team. Tell everyone else with an interrupt, that was not assigned, to do so if it looks like the cast is hanging up there a little too long.
As a suggestion, what we did with our interrupt team was to send them into a separate vent channel. We did exactly as you mentioned, 2 teams but having them in another channel allowed then to coordinate specifically.
Before you get concerned about not hearing what is going on in the main channel i will add this. I created a key bind, as well as my Raid Assistants, to talk into those other channels. It is a one-way ticket unless they create a key-bind as well but they really do not have anything to say back to the RL/RA.
This allows them to coordinate their interrupts but also hear if they need to move out for a LL/MotF. We wiped twice to melee getting MoTF on 25 and they were both interrupters. We came up with this b/c we have someone calling out LL in vent to spur movement quicker. This is helping us solve the problem and quickly notifies that person interuppting backup that it is time for them to step in.
We use 4 interupters in two teams (2 shamans as primary then other interrupters as back up, with my shield bash in reserve if they scare me!
Any case hope this helps. Keybindings in vent are pretty useful for these things.

AMT Advantage
Applied Manufacturing TechnologiesUpdated 11/12/2013
AMT is unique among engineering companies. We're focused on manufacturing – specifically robots in manufacturing. This focus has enabled us to become the biggest independent automation engineering company in North America. There are three key components to the AMT Advantage: 7 Core Technologies Under One Roof When it comes to automation engineering, more IS better. AMT has built world class expertise in the 7 core technologies that drive success in factory automation. From simulation for concept cell layouts to a professional training department to transfer knowledge to skilled trade operators, we have the engineering horsepower to answer all the questions, deal with all the issues, and resolve the problems. More IS better – one point of contact, full engineering responsibility, capacity to take an engineering project from concept to reality. Ultimately we deliver lower costs, tighter schedules and reduced risk. AMT's Integrated Engineering Approach Having all the pieces gets us in the game, but how we put them together drives our real value. Eighteen years and 20,000 robots have left us with a clear understanding of how a project flows, and where the best practices really are. Integrated Engineering from AMT means we leverage all engineering disciplines to a common advantage. For example, simulation drives the cell layout and robot selection, then validates the mechanical designs for tooling and fixturing. Mechanical design feeds the controls requirements, then leverages simulation to optimize physical safety processes. Controls sets the cell logic, then feeds data to simulation for off-line-programming. We deliver this unique approach with cross trained teams of professionals like no others in the industry. Talk to an AMT simulation engineer, and you might find 5 years of experience programming robots on the plant floor. Talk to a robot engineer doing start up and you might find a mechanical designer. We hire the best, and continue to invest in cross training throughout their AMT careers. Service Levels to Match Client's Business Needs In the end, the decision to engage an external engineering resource is driven by a business case. AMT is unique in our ability to support our clients at any point in their project cycle, with resources that match any business situation. We do this with 4 distinct service models:

Next summer is going to be bright. That much we know for sure. And if, after so many seasons of rock chick gothic and ladylike neutrals, you are a colour virgin, then make straight for Jil Sander. Do not pass GO and collect all the £££'s you can to make a significant investment here.
Raf Simmons' summer collection for the house was perfectly judged. Brilliant brights, a relaxed silhouette, styling that managed to be both seductively feminine and convincingly contemporary. It was a show that didn't miss a beat from start to finish.
Floor length dresses in fluorescent pink silk billowed from a gently gathered waist. The volume and formality of a silhouette that had echoes of Hubert de Givenchy era couture, was completely balanced by the short sleeved T-shirts that went with them.
A cobalt blue, gathered dirndl (again with the box fresh T-shirt) was styled over wide cobalt pants. The next white T-shirt came with a long slim skirt in mouthwateringly bright orange that had a little puff ball peplum sitting over the hips. Right after that, a black t shirt came with mint green wide length pants and royal blue peplum. Talk about colour combinations: this was the whole darn paint box, soda fountain and candy store. Fashion hasn't felt this good in a very long time.
Next up were long, voluminous dresses in bright, bold floral prints tamed with a perfect navy parka. Or for romantics among us there was also a watercolour version in soft focus pastels.
An emerald green four pocket parka over canary yellow wide pants and fuschia t shirt and orange duster coat over black pants and fuschia shirt with canary peplum got prim lady like bags and shoppers in see through vinyl to make them street worthy. A traffic light orange column gathered at the knee was elegance on heels. The total looks were covetable and gorgeous. But individual elements like the sailor styled tunic tops, the slim boot cut pants or the hip length A line four pocket parkas could slip right into anyone's wardrobe. The designer even pulled off the practically impossible with a chic cagoule: in cobalt blue parachute silk.
Thank you Raf. No one can ask for more than this.

Matt Whitlock: Let's first start off by talking about you, the 3D projects you've worked on, and a little bit about yourself.
Nick Constable: I'm Nick Constable, and I'm a stereoscopic 3D imaging consultant and screenwriter. I'm also a free agent and invented some products as well. I started doing 3D in the year 2000, when I produced and directed a live-action short 3D film that was hailed as having some really good effects. I've worked with some major, very seasoned stereographers in the past, and I have close associations with them today.
For still 3D photography I developed a product called "REELMaster 3D" which are blank mounts used by people who create their own View-Master style reels. The machine that once made View-Master blank reel mounts was basically destroyed so I came up with the alternative.
MW: So, 3D isn't lost on you. You've been doing this for quite a while.
NC: Yeah, I would say so. I know people in the industry who've been dealing with 3D a lot longer than I have. But yeah, you know, I've also come up with a printing system that is patent pending to create different types of 3D viewing materials in photo labs. When it comes to stereography, I'm kind of well-rounded in different areas as far as printing, creation of still images, writing and motion pictures.
MW: Let's move on to our first topic of discussion which was in the news recently. Roger Ebert is certainly no amateur when it comes to enjoying movies, and no doubt has a good understanding of the moviemaking process. He recently received a letter from a man named Robert Murch [pictured right], who as you know is a sound engineer, worked on Apocalypse Now, and is a pretty big guy in Hollywood. His letter to Ebert said that 3D is unnatural, asking you to focus on different things at the same time in the same plane, and that the human brain isn't built to do that. I know you got a chance to take a look at that. What do you think of his statement? Is 3D unnatural for the brain? Is this something we're just not built to do?
NC: I understand what he's saying. Of course, we see in 3D. We have two eyes. So, it's not unnatural to the brain. However, any 3D visuals, as far as movies and even 3D photographs, if done well and done right, should play with a natural flow to what we see. If you're looking for mistakes or if focusing on the background and not on the actors for instance, you will probably get more eyestrain because you're forcing your eyes against the natural flow of things. A 3D movie is basically controlling what you see as much as you can let it control you. If you're out to look at every single thing that's being shown then you're not following the natural action, which a viewer should be doing when they watch a movie. Then, there shouldn't be a problem. Yes, an editor has to look at everything over and over again, so I can understand why an editor would say something like that.
MW: So when Murch talks about these convergence and focus issues, instead of saying that 3D just doesn't work with our brains, you're saying that when they are making 3D films they need to do a little bit better job with guiding the viewer to what they're supposed to be focusing on.
NC: Yeah, and there's lots of ways to do that; not just one way. He's also talking about convergence and focus as far as it deals with cutting from scene to scene. That's a really big issue that needs to be looked at when you're producing a 3D movie; making sure that the scenes with all the different angles can be cut together perfectly. This actually opens up a huge, huge scenario. He actually edited Capt. EO, which was a great 3D production with Michael Jackson that was shown at Epcot Center.
MW: I remember seeing that as a kid. In fact, it was probably one of the first 3D experiences I'd ever had.
NC: Yes. It was a very remarkable piece of 3D work, and all the acclaim goes to great stereographers like Peter Anderson and everybody else involved. However, it wasn't a feature film; it was a short theme park film so there was a lot more room for creative license on the 3D—to have a lot more depth and things flying out of the screen quite a bit, which was great. I would assume that with Capt. EO everyone was on board, including the director and editor, and that everyone worked closely with the stereographer. That's how 3D best works.
MW: Another thing that Robert Murch also talks about is strobing. He said that the strobing affect happens a lot sooner in 3D than in 2D. That actually coincides with something James Cameron has been saying, which is that people are much more aware of the strobing in 3D. Because of its nature, I suppose, but in order to combat this he's looking at making his next movie at a much higher frame rate, 48 or 60 frames per second, as he was saying.
NC: Strobing or motion judder is inherent with what we would know as 24 frames per second filming and display, which has been happening in motion picture films since the advent of sound in movies. Silent films had a frame rate of 18 frames per second, which made the movement very jerky and fast looking. They did it to save on the cost of film stock. With the advent of sound, both visually and mechanically the minimum frame rate of 24 frames per second was decided. Motion was also much smoother and life-like as opposed to 18 frames per second as well.
The first point I want to make is that there has always been motion judder since the beginning of motion pictures with a frame rate of 24 frames per second. Every cinematographer is aware of what motion judder is, and it usually happens with very fast camera moves or very fast action. The most famous of which is with wagon wheels, the way in which spoked wagon wheels are filmed.
Every cinematographer knows they can only shoot a moving horse driven wagon at certain angles for it [the wheels] not to strobe and judder at 24 frames per second. Now, there are a lot of movies as of late, and I could name a few but I'm not going to, that have broken all the rules. These are 2D movies, by the way, that have broken the rules with very high action, very fast whipping camera moves, very shaky cams, and very fast MTV style editing. People who watch these movies that are sitting too close to the screen in the theater will often get nauseous and that's a big complaint. The only way to alleviate that in the theaters is to be seated very far back from the screen, so you don't get that dizzy and nauseous feeling. This has happened in 2D much more than it has in 3D so far.
MW: But what James Cameron is saying is this happens in 3D far more often, or at least people will notice it more. Is moving up the frame rate the right way to go to solve this problem?
NC: Depending on what you're shooting, yes and no. As far as being able to shoot and display theatrical movies at a higher frame rate, this isn't new. Academy award-winning and special effects genius Douglas Trumbull [pictured right] perfected this with the Showscan theater system back in the 80s, which filmed and displayed short documentaries and ride films at 60 frames per second using 70mm film. Showscan was definitely a visual treat to behold. It was crystal clarity combined with realistic motion on a giant screen; it was absolutely stunning. In 3D, I could assume this could have been even more stunning, but most people thought they were watching a 3D movie when they actually weren't with Showscan.
As great an experience Showscan was, there were limitations with this process. Because of the higher frame rates displayed, which actually made the films look like huge super high definition video, the realism was definitely there but any dramatic acting could not be believed as compared to watching game shows, soap operas, a live newscast, or plays. For this reason out of many, Showscan was never translated into dramatic feature films, and stayed pretty much limited to documentaries and ride films.
When the 24 frames per second frame rate went mainstream in the advent of talkies… and this is very important… the phenomenon of flicker, by accident, came into play. Flicker is what really makes for the basis of the grand illusion of dramatic motion pictures, and this must be taken into consideration. Like the flickering flames of a fireplace or a dancer under a strobe light, the brain forces our attention its way. Although it's a less intense flicker at 24 frames, it does have the same effect on the brain. Without the flicker the brain is no longer tripped up and everything becomes more realistic, yet unbelievable when the action being filmed is unreal to begin with. The audience instantly becomes aware of the camera.Facebook and Twitter.
