What Richard Did (2012)
Morally complex Irish drama with a fantastic central performance.
"What Richard Did", which I saw as part of the New Zealand International Film Festival, is a low-key but very powerful and morally complex film.
It features an excellent performance from newcomer Jack Reynor. While his titular character is obviously charismatic and charming throughout, Reynor's performance explores the depth of the character, particularly his restrained rage. There's a scene near the end of the film where he breaks down alone in his family's beach house, and it's truly heartbreaking and memorable. You really feel for the character's plight throughout the movie.
My only real complaint would be, by contrast, the performance of Lars Mikkelsen. He's not a good crier at all and one key scene in the film almost had me laughing because of his acting. A small flaw in an otherwise highly recommended movie.
L'inconnu du lac (2013)
An admirable thriller - but extremely explicit
A very explicit French gay-themed film. Sometimes it felt a bit overly so - including graphic unsimulated scenes of oral sex and even a shot of a man, erm, climaxing. But I kind of admire the movie at the same time for not shying away from showing anything. The characters are intriguing and the film is beautifully photographed in long, uninterrupted takes and panning shots of the lake setting. The setting itself is one of the best things about the movie. Everything takes place either on the lake or shore surrounding it, in the forest behind the lake, or a car park. You become so accustomed to these settings that everything else outside them seems meaningless - for instance we never see what the main character does for a living, or the supposed 'happy hour' drinks many of the cruising characters in this film attend after a day on the lake. None of that would've been necessary because the film is all about the character's interactions with one another on the beach, anything else would've felt out-of-place. It's a brilliant choice on the part of the director and has an interesting, hard-to-describe effect on the viewer. The film also has a healthy dose of humor (the police inspector is hilarious) and several very intense scenes, especially towards the ending. Recommended, but not for the squeamish or conservative!
Robin Hood (2010)
Visually handsome and not without some well-executed sequences, but overall one of Scott's lesser pictures.
"Robin Hood" is a bit of a letdown for fans of Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe's previous collaborations, especially the great "Gladiator" which is its closest cousin. Crowe's performance never projects the same animalistic intensity he gave to Maximus in that film, and as a result his Robin Hood is somewhat bland. Not to mention his all-over-the-place Irish (?) accent seems to change by the scene.
The love story he shares with Cate Blanchett feels very by-the-numbers and overall it's totally unconvincing. Both actors fail to create a spark of chemistry with the other, and the movie works better when they are apart. Blanchett, when she's given the opportunity to take centre stage away from her dull romantic story with Crowe, emerges as the best part of the film. It's odd that she steals the lion's share of the memorable scenes, given that the story revolves mostly around Crowe's titular hero. In a scene where her village is set upon by vicious pillagers and she is nearly raped, Blanchett is so good you'll almost want to cheer for her. This entire sequence is worth mentioning as it's the film's highlight. If the rest of the film had been this emotional, Scott might've been onto a winner.
This is a Ridley Scott production, so the mise-en-scene is typically spot-on, and it's visually handsome throughout. The cinematography captures the vast landscapes of the period beautifully, and brings intensity to the multiple battle sequences.
Scott clearly sets the stage for a sequel with his final scene, and if it ever emerges (which based on the so-so critical reaction, it won't) you'd hope he spends less time on the muddled plot and expositionary dialogue, which could take up probably 1/3 of this effort and bogs down the finished product considerably. If it had the sense of adventure the legend is known for, this might be a character I'd look forward to revisiting. Perhaps in this film Scott has chosen to take his source material far too seriously.
It's one of Scott's least enjoyable films to date, though worthy of checking out for a couple of undeniably powerful moments and the beautiful visuals. Just don't expect "Gladiator".
Drive (2011)
A very cool movie, bound to start a deserved cult following, and featuring a brilliant leading performance from Gosling.
Ryan Gosling is fast becoming one of the most exciting actors working today. It's nice to see him overcome the 'heartthrob' status achieved thanks to his role in the overrated "The Notebook" and work on genuinely interesting, and challenging projects like his latest, "Drive".
The film thrives on his excellent performance. Whether getaway driving or charming Carey Mulligan, he's nothing short of riveting to watch. As an action hero, this guy makes Liam Neeson in "Taken" look like a whimpering pussy in comparison. Simply put - he's awesome, and utterly sells this character. I look forward to another quality performance from Gosling in the upcoming "Ides of March".
I was lucky enough to see this film at its (apparently) second screening in the world, at the Wellington International Film Festival in New Zealand. It was obviously massively popular during this screening, rousing an opening introduction speech (it was the festival's closing night film) and an enthusiastic clap from the audience at the climax. It's not hard to see why audiences embraced "Drive". It's both an unpredictable and exciting outing for action fans, but all the same well-observed and gritty, which will no doubt appeal to indie viewers.
The film's stunning cinematography envelopes the audience in the proceedings. The adrenaline-fueled car chases are furiously shot and nothing short of thrilling. Director Refn's camera also beautifully captures the Los Angeles skyline and the sprawling lights of the city. It's some of the best photography there's been of this city that I've seen in a film.
There are a couple of really well-filmed "shock" moments worth mentioning. One is in a car parking building and one a hotel bathroom, both featuring gunshots. Both are jump-of-your-seat scenes at their very best. Refn constantly keeps the audience on their toes, and there's no way to predict what will happen next. That's one of the most refreshing things about "Drive".
Carey Mulligan could've been utilized a little more, especially in the film's final third, where she sort of just disappears. It's disappointing because she really gives the movie a heart in her handful of scenes with Gosling. I was glad she wasn't reduced to a typical "damsel in distress" role (the film actively avoided action movie clichés, much to my delight), but she could've been included somehow.
Overall, it's small complaint in a very "cool" movie that a lot of people are going to love. Is the movie likely to be a little overrated and over analysed? Probably a little. Is it going to start a cult following and does it deserve said following? Most definitely. It's a refreshingly unpredictable and well-made roller-coaster ride featuring another excellent performance from one of Hollywood's hottest talents in Gosling, who is proving himself to be one of the most reliable leading men in modern cinema.
Crazy Heart (2009)
Bridges' much-hyped performance doesn't disappoint, but the film itself isn't a masterpiece.
Crazy Heart has often been dubbed "The Wrestler, Part 2". This film's general premise is much the same (swap wrestling for singing country songs), and while this story works well enough, it can't help but compare to The Wrestler and feels inferior and almost a rehash of that film. The pace is slowed considerably by the extended musical performances, they frankly drag and distract from the more interesting personal struggles of the two lead characters. Bridges' much-hyped performance doesn't disappoint, he truly inhabits this character flaws and all and gives a gritty showing that is some of the best acting of his great career. Gyllenhaal, too, is superb, her and Bridges have a wonderful chemistry that is the film's highlight. Too bad Cooper's film stands as just good, rather than great, as he invests too much in the overlong musical sequences and not enough in exploring these two appealing characters and their believable connection.
Away We Go (2009)
A nice change of pace for Sam Mendes.
Sam Mendes takes a welcome break from his high-budget, A-list starring films to direct this neat little movie that has an indie-vibe about it. John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph have wonderful chemistry, playing two mobile mid-thirties "fuck-ups" who cris-cross across America in search of the perfect city to lay down roots and raise their impending family. Krasinski in particular is lovable and very funny in his role. As the couple travel to different cities in search of a new home, we are introduced to an array of supporting players who, despite limited screen time, make just as much of an impression as the two leads (who are basically in every frame of the film). Maggie Gyllenhaal is stand-out hilarious as NL, a "new age" mother, the segment at her home is easily the film's funniest. Melanie Lynskey and David Messina break your heart as a big-hearted married couple unable to conceive their own children. Kudos to Lynskey for really making a pole-dancing scene suitably remorseful, and Messina's monologue whilst he watches his wife is one of the film's emotional highlights. From this lovely film it's clear that Mendes directs an intimate, subtle and observant story just as brilliantly as he does the "big" movies he's commanded since American Beauty. More ventures like this would be a welcome treat from him.
(500) Days of Summer (2009)
A refreshing, quirky romantic comedy.
(500) Days of Summer is a truly original and refreshing romantic comedy, that feels straight from the heart and relative to almost any audience. Every character, whether it be Gordon-Levitt's embarrassing drunk workmate or the quirky, totally unpredictable Summer herself, feels utterly authentic and any viewer should be able to relate back to the people they know. As well as a stand-out performance from Gordon-Levitt, the movie also offers a number of the year's most memorable and unique scenes. Expectation/Reality is a heartbreaking, perfectly edited split-screen sequence that dashes Gordon-Levitt's hopes of regaining Deschanel's love after they split. The film also perfectly captures that "first love" feeling of being on cloud nine with the hysterical dance sequence.
Overall, the film is as unique and vibrant as the character of Summer herself, and for a film fitting the description of "romantic comedy" in this current cinematic climate, that's some feat indeed.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
Not the most action-packed of the films, but a worthy adaptation nonetheless.
As it happens every time a new "Harry Potter" film is released, there was a giant amount of hype surrounding "Half-Blood Prince". Add to the fact that it's obviously going to be popular due to the Potter phenomena that's swept the world over the last 10-12 years or so, the movie was met with glowing reviews - many indicating it was the best film in the saga yet.
This I personally disagree with. "Half-Blood Prince" was never my favorite of the books - it was still very good - and the film definitely isn't my favorite of the movies thus far. It lacks the constant excitement of "Goblet" and anyone who was let down by the Department of Mysteries sequence in "Phoenix" will be gob-smacked by the fact that the entire Death Eaters vs. Hogwarts students/teachers battle that took place at the end of the sixth film is nowhere to be seen in "Half-Blood Prince". One of my biggest beefs with the film personally. Apparently Yates didn't want it to be too similar to the end of the final film, this isn't a good enough excuse for me. It was one of the most entertaining sequences in the book and should've been in the film. It felt a little too casual how Snape just killed Dumbledore and strolled off on his way. Thankfully the actual scene with Dumbledore getting killed was very effective, as is the touching memorial his students display around his body after the murder.
For most of my friends and a lot other audiences, the film simply doesn't feel like "enough" is happening per se. The film goes along at a fairly slow pace which will put a lot of viewers off. Probably because Yates, director, focuses his energies more on the analysis of Harry, Ron and Hermione's teen angst than the action/epic side of Potter. Not such a bad thing for me as a viewer, because this is portrayed better than it has been in any of the other films. The dialog is sharp and witty, and the young actors are stepping up to their roles more. Watson, always strong, is really developing into a great young actress. Radcliffe too is at his best as Harry and he too has developed a lot as a performer since "Philosopher's Stone".
Jim Broadbent is a welcome addition as Professor Slughorn and is very humorous and quirky here. He makes the character more intriguing than he was in the books and that is true credit to his performance, considering how detailed Rowling's writing is.
I'd like to give special credit to the whole seaside/cave sequence with Harry and Dumbledore finding the first Horcrux (or do they?), this is the most well-realized section of the film. The movie really rockets alive during this sequence that was always the best part of the novel as well. It's displayed in such a perfect way that was personally *exactly* how I had imagined it in the books. The visuals in the sequence were truly spectacular and it was emotionally effective as well (containing one of Gambon's most outstanding scenes in the franchise).
Overall, a strong entry into the Potter canon, but far from the best as a lot of the reviews are indicating. Perhaps one should stray from reviews and not read them before seeing movies they're anticipating so as to not be letdown, but it's hard for any movie-goer to do. Nonetheless, the movie is good and succeeds in leaving viewers on the edge of their seats for next year and the first part of the final Potter installment.
Southland Tales (2006)
Watch it a couple of times.
This is one of those movies that you need to watch a couple of times to really appreciate the story that's being told. There's no doubt that Richard Kelly is blatantly very ambitious with this project and packs - for most viewers - way too much storyline into his epic that can sometimes make it hard to follow. But a couple of repeat viewings really does the movie justice, at least for me.
Despite Kelly's over-ambitiousness and the movie's subsequent messiness, it's refreshing to see such a creative film literally bursting at the seams with ideas. Every shot feels energetic and detailed. The plot line keeps you thinking and is topical and relevant. Some of the dialog in the film doesn't always sound as cool as Kelly would like it too, but a lot of is also fantastic. Pretty much any line spoken by Krysta Now (Sarah Michelle Gellar, the comedic highlight of the film) is instant gold. There is a large ensemble cast and the movie boasts a number of great performances.
The soundtrack is brilliant and use of song in the film really works in it's favor. Particularly a climactic sequence near the end of the film played over Moby's "Memory Gospel" will burn in the memory as the most compelling part of the film.
Didn't enjoy it the first time? I recommend giving this movie another go. It makes a lot more sense the second time around and you start to really see the messages Kelly is attempting to bring across to the audience, rather than spending your viewing time figuring out the sprawling storyline. Invest time in this film and it's a near-masterpiece. Not perfect, but damn close.
The Air I Breathe (2007)
Gellar's performance is truly breathtaking, and the film as a whole is very entertaining and dramatically effective.
The Air I Breathe (2008) Dir. Jieho Lee
The Air I Breathe is one of the most underrated and under-seen films of the year just recently gone by. It is similar in style to many other recent dramas in which the story of the various characters intertwines and connects throughout the film. In this movie, it's done in an interesting style with lots of surprises and memorable moments along the way. Novice director Jieho Lee has done a very good job in presenting a visually appealing and consistently interesting multi-layered interpretation of an ancient Chinese proverb dividing life into four emotions: Pleasure, Sorrow, Love and Happiness.
Forest Whitaker's story - Happiness - opens the film, and is one of the film's weaker links. Whitaker himself, after showing true dramatic depth with The Last King of Scotland, disappointingly doesn't really sell this role. His crying scene is distinctly fake and nearly laughable, when it should've been dramatically effective. When he robs a bank in what is practically the next scene (feeling somewhat rushed...suddenly this timid man is going to do something so bold?), he runs through the streets with a gun flailing his hand for all to see. The chase scene with him and the police is thrilling, and the sequence on the rooftop concluding the film's first act is particularly compelling and elevates this story more.
The film's middle act is it's strongest and features all the best parts of the film. Brendan Fraser gives an understated performance as a clairvoyant gangster in a moral rut. It's his best performance to date. The film splits the actors' screen time pretty evenly but Fraser solidly carries this section of the film as a lead. Andy Garcia is also appropriately menacing as Fingers, Fraser's malicious and powerful boss, and even brings a sympathetic nature to such a vicious role. In one hard-hitting moment in the film where he proclaims "I'm not a bad guy", aa lesser actor than Garcia couldn't have sold it but it feels absolutely genuine. Garcia is a subtle actor but it works with this kind of role. There is also a very amusing supporting performance from Emile Hirsch as Fingers' horny nephew.
Sarah Michelle Gellar is a powerhouse as Sorrow, a character who seriously gets put through the ringer and Gellar makes every nuance felt with her incredible dramatic skills. She is worthy of awards for her investment in this role and critics agree, one even stating she achieved the same level as Halle Berry's similarly tragic and Academy Award-winning Monster's Ball performance. It's a shame Gellar doesn't pick projects that showcase such amazing talents more often. Her section of the film is also the most interesting.
Kevin Bacon and Julie Delpy's story feels more like an afterthought than anything else and was my least favourite section of the film. I'll admit that while I think this movie is very well-written for the most part, sometimes the story twists are just too convenient and far-fetched to be believable - and this is most true for Love's (Bacon) storyline. A person who studies snakes is stupid enough to let one bite her is far enough, but also the whole blood-type thing was verging on silly. Thankfully Gellar's character invests this segment of the film with a little more dramatic intensity. Her scene on the rooftop with Bacon is very emotional and gorgeous cinematography - the scene appears almost like a classic, beautiful painting. The film across the board is visually effective, also loved Fraser's sometimes misleading (for the character) flashes of the future.
Overall, this is a very strong first effort from a talented director who hopefully can produce more great dramas, even though this movie wasn't as much of a success as it should've been. It's not perfect and you have to forgive some story conveniences along the way and really just go with the movie. But it's fast-paced, never boring and features some seriously outstanding work from Gellar and many breathtaking and heartwrenching story twists that make the mediocre moments all worth it. I've watched this film a bunch of times and it's become a personal favourite of mine, I really want more people to see it and enjoy it.

The Commack, Long Island, High School senior will be competing in the 2014 Special Olympics USA Games in the 100-yard dash and the shot put. "When you finish and you know you did a good job you just feel really proud of yourself," she says. "You feel accomplished." From the moment Jessica joined Special Olympics last year, she was hooked. "I remember the first practice I was really slow and I didn't really like running and I wasn't sure I was going to do it and I kept practicing and getting a lot faster and now I love running," she says. Jessica says "Special Olympics teaches you about teamwork and friendship that will just last a lifetime," she says. "All the friendships I've made and all the leadership stuff I've learned I'll continue to always carry that with me." Read more and see video at the link below.

In recent days, my attention was grabbed by former Secretary of State Colin Powell and Yelena Bonner, the widow of Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov.
The one I applaud is the former Mrs. Sakharov. In a speech delivered in Norway, she pointed out that the Palestinians are still being referred to as refugees even though only a tiny percentage of them have ever even set foot in Israel. According to my dictionary, and I assume Ms. Bonner's, a refugee is someone who has fled from violence and wars. How on earth can the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of those who left Israel in order to avoid being killed or injured by the invading Arab forces in 1948, 61 long years ago, be regarded as refugees?
It reminds me of American blacks who, 45 years after passage of the Civil Rights Act, continue to benefit from various programs such as Affirmative Action and Operation Head Start. Is there no such thing as a statute of limitations, no point at which commonsense kicks in and people are permitted to say, "Enough is enough," without being branded a villain?
Ms. Bonner pointed out that while every do-gooder group in the world seems to be concerned about the comfort level of Islamic terrorists at Gitmo, armed combatants who aren't even covered by the Geneva Conventions because they don't wear uniforms, carry a flag or even fight for a specific nation, nobody outside of Israel seems the least bit concerned about Gilad Schalit, the Israeli soldier who was abducted three years ago by Hamas. She's right, of course. Our politicians don't care, the U.N. doesn't care, and God knows all those left-wing ACLU lawyers who are lined up eager to defend Islamic terrorists, up to and including Osama bin Laden, should he ever be captured, sure don't give a damn.
That brings me to Colin Powell. For reasons I can't begin to imagine, he has taken umbrage at Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh for suggesting he's not a Republican. Frankly, I'm shocked that he continues to insist he is one. I, for one, began doubting it years ago, when, as Secretary of State, he publicly opposed George Bush over the invasion of Iraq. When, in 2008, he timed his endorsement of Barack Obama to do the most damage to John McCain's campaign, I naturally assumed Mr. Powell had finally gotten around to changing his registration. After all, if you can't support McCain, who was about as close to being a Democrat as a GOP candidate could be, what Republican could Mr. Powell get behind? Abe Lincoln?

Refrigerator Look Book: Sam Talbot
Sam Talbot, the fan favorite on Top Chef's second season and the Executive Chef of Montauk's Surf Lodge and Imperial No. 9 (until last week!), is known as a chef-about-town.
The New York Times called him "a perennial favorite on the sexy-chef lists" and "a staple on the A-list party circuit."
But Talbot's chef-glam glow is not entirely incidental. Since being diagnosed with Type I diabetes at age 11, he's had to pay careful attention to his health, which he does through fresh foods, yoga, and surfing. His new cookbook, The Sweet Life: Diabetes Without Boundaries, is a testament to his healthy lifestyle.
We peeked inside his Lower East Side fridge to see what he serves when the order's his own:
Do you cook a lot at home? I do. You don't get sick of it? No—for me, it's like meditation. As long as there is music.
Do you have a favorite dish you make? Shirataki noodles—the recipe's in my book.
What do you do with the whole coconut? I machete the top off and drink the water, and then I peel the insides with a spoon and put it on a little bit of Greek yogurt with honeycomb.
Sounds like a great snack. As a diabetic, you have to snack a lot throughout the day, right? What do you reach for? Yes, there's one section in the book called Squirrel Food, which is five or six recipes that I make, like goji granola with sesame seeds, vegan crunch, that kind of stuff. I just make it in bulk at the restaurant or at home and put it in plastic bags and carry it throughout the day.
Do you have any guilty pleasures you're not showing me? There's an amazing vegan ice cream in the freezer. It's made with cashews.
Sounds delicious. But that does not count as a guilty pleasure! What's that big green fruit on the top shelf? A papaya? It's a casaba melon. I eat it with a touch of sea salt, lime juice, and hot sauce. I love hot sauce—I always have Sriracha.
One more thing I've never seen—what is black garlic? It's fermented garlic. It turns black and gets really sweet. It's really aromatic and nutty, and it's very pliable so you can make it into a paste or fold it into a mayonnaise and make an aioli for a sandwich. You can puree it and make a vinaigrette, or I also roast it with lamb. I'm definitely using it this Thanksgiving. —Lisa Elaine Held

that vegan cashew ice cream is most certainly a guilty pleasure! that stuff has more calories and fat than normal full-fact ice cream! it's super delish and pretty bad for you even if it doesn't have any cholesterol.

Help us fund our webseries...
and YOU will be helping to save endangered species.
Read on to learn more...
For a decade, ECO Films has been working to raise awareness about the dangers of deforestation and the link between illegal logging and the trafficking of endangered animals.
If you believe, as science has clearly shown, that we are at the tipping point, where we can no longer ignore the facts that we are destroying our planet's ecosystems, and potentially our own future on our magnificent Mother Earth, then join us and say, "I support ECO!" Together we can make a difference!
About the Company
Founded in 2007 by screenwriter/producer Jim Branchflower, ECO Films is an LA-based film production, sales and finance company, established to develop, produce and distribute feature length motion pictures, documentaries, television and various transmedia projects.
The mission of ECO Films is to make movies and other filmed entertainment that raise public awareness of global environmental, political and human rights issues through dramatic works that affect the soul and inspire change.
Our mission in a nutshell? To make a difference, one film at a
About the Project
ECO Films, in association with Kalahari Pictures, is proud to present THE LION INSIDE.
Set against the backdrop of illegal logging and wildlife poaching in contemporary Central Africa, THE LION INSIDE is a thrilling eco-adventure and is the first installment in a proposed trilogy of action movies about global environmental and human rights issues.
When Charles Milner was offered a job as head of security for one of Africa's largest foreign owned companies, he and his wife, Sandra, thought it was the chance of a lifetime…they were wrong.
ECO Films has already begun negotiations with talent and their agents concerning their roles and, in fact, most of the cast has been with this project since at least 2007.
Additionally, we are in discussions with several A-list actors to round out the ensemble.
See what Tim has to say about his involvement in The Lion Inside webisode series.
What We Need and What You Get
As THE LION INSIDE is an original story, not based on a book or a sequel in a successful film franchise, we've come to the realization that the best way to introduce this world to the public is starting slow. Hence, the rationale for a series of webisodes providing rich context and backstory to some of the characters and plotlines, prior to the release of the film.
The exciting thing about this approach is that we can literally immerse the audience, fans, public in this world prior to the movie coming out. Thus, anticipation, excitement and buzz will build surrounding the main project.
Not only will this help ensure the success of the release, this should help cement the success for future films as our ultimate goal is to create a profitable film franchise.
By implementing a rich transmedia campaign, such as this webisode series, to accompany the films, ECO Films will position this trilogy to become an organic and thriving entity, entertaining and informing audiences for years to come.
We are seeking an initial $25,000* to develop and promote the first season of webisodes. Funds will be used to cover project development including: pre-production and publicity.
Even if we don't reach the entire goal of $25,000, we will still be able to develop some of the episodes.
The primary objective for ECO Films right now is to produce content that will ultimately drive the interest of the movie going public towards our films.
This franchise has so much potential! It deals with important topical issues. It will entertain yet inform people. ECO Films wants to make a difference. ECO Films can make a difference. Help us so that we may help spread awareness about these issues and inspire change!
*-Please note: This particular campaign is only for the development of the web series. We will be launching a much larger campaign in June to facilitate the physical production of the first season of webisodes.
The Impact
Aside from the fact that we are trying to positively impact our world with these films, webisodes, television shows, etc., ECO Films also wants to truly give back in a very tangible, specific sort of way.
During this Indiegogo funding campaign, ECO Films will donate 10% of all contributions to the non-profit LAGA, Africa's first and best wildlife law enforcement NGO. LAGA and its founder, Ofir Drori, feature prominently in the story for THE LION INSIDE and will also play a part in the webisodes.
Check out their website and see what they're doing to tackle corruption and wildlife trafficking in Africa.
Other Ways You Can Help
If you can't contribute financially, that's ok! Help get the word out. Tell your friends. Share the link. Get this campaign noticed. Remember, we're all here to help make this world a better place.
This has been a passion project for all involved for over a decade. 2014 is the year to finally get the ball rolling.
Thank you all!

Cancer Compatibility
Zodiac Sign Cancer Love Match
The Crab in Relationships
Cancer, the benevolent, belongs to the element water, which is that of emotions.
So do Scorpio and Pisces, but that doesn't necessarily mean Cancer is particularly compatible with them - they need to feel mutual attraction, which is something elusive at times. Nor for that matter is Cancer always incompatible with, say, the fire signs Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, although they are quite different. All the qualities of each Zodiac sign have to be considered when examining their compatibility in astrology.
Cancer Compatibility in GeneralGenerally speaking, Cancer is the motherly protector, also in a relationship. Cancer needs to feel like the one who protects and deepens the love, whether that is true or not. Usually it is.
A relationship with Cancer is like going back to the protected life of childhood. Some people like it, some not. Cancer insists on it, whatever the partner has to say about it. But it's sweet and comforting, so many have no objection.
The feelings are warm and Cancer can be trusted not to hurt them in any way - as long as the partner accepts who decides what's best for them and what's not.

Where would I buy dry plates and 4x5 plate holders? Do they still make them or do I have to make my own?

Where would I buy dry plates and 4x5 plate holders? Do they still make them or do I have to make my own?
Dry plates went out about 70 years ago. If you have an Antique camera that shot dry plates, you usually shim the back a bit and shoot with any more modern roll holder for a 4x5 back or even a polaroid 545 back as I have done... What are you trying to shoot?
Seems to me I read of an eastern or central European country, Russia perhaps, that was still making plates. It caught my attention; but not enough to buy any.
you can make your own if you want
it isn't too hard, and a lot of fun :)

or at the light farm http://www.thelightfarm.com/
or you can buy bottled stuff from liquid light, or the formulary
there is someone in costa rica also making emulsion for sale as well ...
have fun!

At Kentucky, Calipari has built an empire partly on his ability to prepare young players for a career in the NBA. Because of his eye for talent, he has been one of the most successful coaches in what has become popularly known as the NBA's one-and-done era.

My Amazing Race SE Asia trip with Kristin was planned as a tight itinerary (Bali-Singapore-Vietnam-Cambodia-Malaysia-Bali). The first leg of the trip went fine, and were in Singapore's well-appointed international terminal by late Friday morning. After spending some time wandering the expansive airport, we caught a train, then a bus over to the LCCT (low-cost carrier terminal); this is where airlines such as Air Asia and Jetstar are situated, and it's definitely a step below the rest of the airport. When I tried to check-in for our flight to Vietnam, I was informed that a letter of invitation from the Vietnamese embassy was required (I didn't have, and couldn't get on short notice). Big problem.
Chang Beer; we spent about 150 bot (just over $5 US) and enjoyed them all happily while wandering the street. We soon retired to the guest house for a short sleep before starting our busy second travel day.

But some fashion-conscious Sikhs are reclaiming the individuality of their headdress.
In 2007, a Dorset man brought a lawn statute featuring a recognizable Egyptian headdress to an expert for evaluation.
Her beige niqab (a conservative Islamic headdress that shows only the eyes) was stained from hours of crying.
From Bjork's swan dress to Cher's headdress, Brad Goreski revisits the most memorable Oscar dresses of all time.
He said he thought it "seemed right" to put his "sailors" in the headdress after seeing images of Sikh turbans.
We are told that Lady Jane's headdress on the morning of her marriage was of green velvet set round with precious stones.
He gave a final touch to the headdress and the buffalo robe.
The Russian armor suggested that of the Chinese, and their headdress was a turban.
Instruction in use of signals; use of headdress, etc., in making signals.
The headdress of the married women was curiously picturesque, its general shape and appearance resembling a helmet.

Mechel Cuts Full-Year Coal Output, Capital Spending Forecasts
OAO Mechel, Russia's largest producer of steelmaking coal, reduced its 2011 coal output forecast by about 10 percent after suspending two mines.
Mechel lowered its production target to 28 million metric tons of coal from a previous estimate of 31 million tons, Vice President Oleg Korzhov said today on a conference call. Capital spending for 2011 was cut 22 percent to $1.8 billion, he said.
The Moscow-based company suspended output at its Sibirginsk mine in June after detecting higher-than-normal gas levels. Mechel earlier halted its New-Olzherassk project, also on safety concerns. Both mines are operated by its Southern Kuzbass unit.
Output of coking coal concentrate will be 14.5 million tons this year as previously forecast, Mechel said today.
The producer agreed on a waiver with creditors to allow its ratio of net debt to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization to reach 3.5, the company also said in a presentation. In September, Mechel delayed a plan to sell shares in its mining unit because of volatile markets.

For years and years and years, everyone–celebrities, dermatologists, makeup artists–has been preaching to me the power of tinted moisturizers. They conceal, hydrate, protect (all without making you look like you're actually wearing makeup, they said). But it fell on my deaf ears. I was whole-heartedly committed to my routine of applying a lightweight powder…until now.
I'm not sure what changed for me, but I find myself pawing at every one I see (and as a beauty editor at a shopping magazine, I see a lot). But to make it into my makeup bag, it has to have the perfect amount of slip, so that if I closed my eyes, I would actually think I were putting on a luxe face cream. And, of course, it has to make my skin look awesome. I have–not one–but FOUR, count 'em FOUR favorites:
1. Dior Hydralife Pro-Youth Skin Tint SPF 20:
Remember those chewy "Gushers" candies that were around in the 90s, that when you bit into them a surge of juice sprang out? Disgusting, I know, but when I put this on my skin, I feel like a gusher of intense hydration has just exploded and my skin's thirst is happily quenched. Plus, it smells great.
2. Tarte Smooth Operator Natural Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20:
This is somehow a dewy and matte finish at the same time–which translates to PERFECT.
3. Philosophy Hope in a Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20:
So sheer, I can layer this throughout the day for more coverage and it still doesn't make my skin feel gunky.
4. Stila Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20:
This has a gorgeous, glowy effect once it sinks in (which is pretty much immediately). I imagine that when people see me from afar when I'm wearing this they think, wow that is some crazy-angelic light radiating from that girl's face!

A Public Thank You To My Daughter Kylee Who Has Supported St. Jude Since Age 5
For those of you who have listened to me at B105 since I started, you heard me talk about my daughter Kylee since she was three years old. She was four when we started the St. Jude radiothons and even at that young age wanted to volunteer. This year, as B105 hit two huge milestones with St. Jude totals, Kylee was there to support mom and the kids of St. Jude again!

Can Pine's Kirk work as an authority figure?
Kirk was "one of the guys" in STXI, on equal footing with Sulu, Uhura, McCoy and the rest. As a stowaway cadet, he didn't command anyone.
As much as I enjoyed the film, and Chris Pine's performance as Kirk, I'm not sure he'll be a convincing authority figure in Star Trek XII.
Can anyone picture him doing captain's logs? Ordering his crew around? Chewing out disobedient whelps? He spends STXI "sticking it to the man"/playing by his own rules/whatever, but how does that help him when he's "the man"?
BTW, This thread isn't about Kirk's uber-promotion. That's been discussed to death already. This is about the XI-version of character. OCD STXI trolls please stay away.
Re: Can Pine's Kirk work as an authority figure?
I also have a hard time seeing Pine's Kirk, the way he was in ST XI, as The Man. If they have him as basically The Man, straight from the get-go in ST XII the character will be unrecognizable from the previous film. They need to show the progression instead of have it all happen off-screen.
I think what they'll do is show how he mentally grows into the role now that he has it, and gets from Point A to Point B. Kirk's maturation would be a natural arc for the character to follow.
Re: Can Pine's Kirk work as an authority figure?
In the behind-the-scenes-doc the writers and producers discussed the layers they were looking for in Kirk. He needed to be an iconoclast and a badass, as well as have "command authority". Everyone who read for the part, they claimed, could only do one or the other, not both-- except for Pine. The only hint we see of that side of him is in his exchange with Uhura after sitting in captain's chair and later when he tells Sulu to fire on the ship even the they're still on board. So, that side of him has been seen already, its just very fleeting. I could see him mourning the loss of a redshirt in the next movie.
Re: Can Pine's Kirk work as an authority figure?
Re: Can Pine's Kirk work as an authority figure?
Re: Can Pine's Kirk work as an authority figure?
The elements that Kirk is missing (and may just not have been in evidence in Trek XI rather than truly nonexistent), that will allow him to become an authority figure, are:
1. A stronger sense that he really cares about the people under his command. Shatner's Kirk sometimes came off almost as a den mother, which is a good aspect for a leader to have. You gotta show your people that you are loyal to them before they'll be loyal to you.
2. Dedication to the Federation as an ideological principle. Starfleet exists because of this principle and presumably that's why people are willing to die for it. Kirk has to be presented as someone who is in space for more than just the fun of it, or he'll come off as too shallow to be a real leader.
3. Willingness to roll the hard six. A good leader needs the ability to make decisions even when the options are appalling and the risks are extreme. Kirk needs a bit of that ole Bill Adama quality.
Kirk may already have #1 and #2. #3 is something that he'll develop only as he's confronted with the tough choices. And once again, it's frustrating that this is just a movie series and not TV. For Kirk or any of the characters to be properly developed, they need hours and hours of screen time.
Oh one last thing: dumb luck played a large role in Pine's Kirk's quick promotion. It would be nice to see him whomped upside the head at the beginning of the next movie, because in many ways he's not ready for command, signalling that dumb luck can turn on a dime.
Re: Can Pine's Kirk work as an authority figure?
Star Wars ended with the Empire still around and Vader on the loose. Just because the movie ends doesn't mean that the story is over.
Re: Can Pine's Kirk work as an authority figure?
Well, that makes an interesting plot point for the next movie, doesn't it? How does he become the Kirk we know and love?
Re: Can Pine's Kirk work as an authority figure?
Kirk would have actually needed a natural "talent" of charisma. Something in his personality that makes people want to follow his decisions. That's one important aspect about born leaders.
Pine Kirk didn't have that, in my opinion. He was an arrogant ass that nobody liked.
Re: Can Pine's Kirk work as an authority figure?
Pine has it, he just wasn't given the chance to use it. Which is too bad since most of the others did quite well as the characters we know. Kirk & Scotty were the major exceptions. Chekov was more annoying than he should have been but he was a minor character.
Re: Can Pine's Kirk work as an authority figure?
First things first. The opening monologue.
"Space, the final frontier."
I cannot and will not accept that monologue coming from NuKirk. Ever. Nowhere in this film did he show any ambition or intuition to be someone who actually wants to go out into the unknown and reflect what the monologue stands for. He went into this on a dare because he had nothing better to do, and his first goal was to finish the academy in three years. Why? Why does he want to rush through things? That's just counterproductive.
As for the topic at hand? Please. His authority in the Kobayashi Maru is the single most disconnecting moment I've ever had with a character. The whole premise of this test seems to rely on the notion that everyone involved, both students and trainers are the stupidest group of individuals who wouldn't know good commanding skills from a cockroaches attention span. Kirk is supposed to be leading his crew into a what seems like a losing situation, and he's just dashing their well put concerns away without even filling them in on what's going on. To make matters worse, when the simulation is over, he gloats around acting like it was nothing, and doesn't tell anyone how he did it or why. How are those good qualities in a Captain, let alone the hero of the story? Why would you leave your crew in the dark about a potentially fatal scenario just to satisfy your own selfish ego? If he was trying to make a point, why did he keep it to himself until he was confronted with it?
I can't believe people love his character. I can't find a single thing to like about him.
Re: Can Pine's Kirk work as an authority figure?
- Attacks cherished beliefs, traditional institutions, etc., as being based on error or superstition.
- Is difficult to deal with; mean-tempered; touchy.
- Is rude or disrespectful; contemptuously impertinent; insulting.
Re: Can Pine's Kirk work as an authority figure?
The way they did Pine's hair in the final scene pulled him out of adolescence I think. I'm hoping they will beef him up a bit and give him some weight in STXII.
Re: Can Pine's Kirk work as an authority figure?
^Some stubble might help: I thought Kirk looked younger than ever in the final scene.
I also didn't like the yellow shirt, but Trek often gives captains custom outfits. I think a Voyager-style inverted colours uniform for Kirk (i.e. black with yellow undershirt) would look cool.
And Jeyl: They recorded a Pine "Space, the Final Frontier..." speech when they were deciding who should say it at the end. You can hear Pine's on the into to the gag reel on the DVD and on Youtube. I wasn't convinced by it.
Re: Can Pine's Kirk work as an authority figure?
I think you're absolutely right.

text: Update of /cvsroot/sbcl/sbcl/doc/internals In directory sc8-pr-cvs1.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv15554/doc/internals Added Files: signals.texinfo threads.texinfo Log Message: 0.9.3.67: * added chapter "Signal handling" to internals manual * added the beginnings of a threading chapter, too --- NEW FILE: signals.texinfo --- @node Signal handling @comment node-name, next, previous, up @chapter Signal handling @menu * Groups of signals:: * The deferral mechanism:: * Implementation warts:: * Programming with signal handling in mind:: @end menu @node Groups of signals @section Groups of signals There are two distinct groups of signals. @subsection Semi-synchronous signals The first group, tentatively named ``semi-synchronous'', consists of signals that are raised on illegal instruction, hitting a protected page, or on a trap. Examples from this group are: @code{SIGBUS}/@code{SIGSEGV}, @code{SIGTRAP}, @code{SIGILL} and @code{SIGEMT}. The exact meaning and function of these signals varies by platform and OS. Understandably, because these signals are raised in a controllable manner they are never blocked or deferred. @subsection Blockable signals The other group is of blockable signals. Typically, signal handlers block them to protect against being interrupted at all. For example @code{SIGHUP}, @code{SIGINT}, @code{SIGQUIT} belong to this group. With the exception of @code{SIG_STOP_FOR_GC} all blockable signals are deferrable. @node The deferral mechanism @section The deferral mechanism @subsection Pseudo atomic sections Some operations, such as allocation, consist of several steps and temporarily break for instance gc invariants. Interrupting said operations is therefore dangerous to one's health. Blocking the signals for each allocation is out of question as the overhead of the two @code{sigsetmask} system calls would be enormous. Instead, pseudo atomic sections are implemented with a simple flag. When a deferrable signal is delivered to a thread within a pseudo atomic section the pseudo-atomic-interrupted flag is set, the signal and its context are stored, and all deferrable signals blocked. This is to guarantee that there is at most one pending handler in SBCL. While the signals are blocked, the responsibilty of keeping track of other pending signals lies with the OS. On leaving the pseudo atomic section, the pending handler is run and the signals are unblocked. @subsection @code{WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS} Similar to pseudo atomic, @code{WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS} defers deferrable signals in its thread until the end of its body, provided it is not nested in another @code{WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS}. Not so frequently used as pseudo atomic, @code{WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS} benefits less from the deferral mechanism. @subsection Stop the world Something of a special case, a signal that is blockable but not deferrable by @code{WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS} is @code{SIG_STOP_FOR_GC}. It is deferred by pseudo atomic and @code{WITHOUT-GCING}. @node Implementation warts @section Implementation warts @subsection RT signals Sending and receiving the same number of signals is crucial for @code{INTERRUPT-THREAD} and @code{sig_stop_for_gc}, hence they are real-time signals for which the kernel maintains a queue as opposed to just setting a flag for ``sigint pending''. Note, however, that the rt signal queue is finite and on current linux kernels a system wide resource. If the queue is full, SBCL tries to signal until it succeeds. This behaviour can lead to deadlocks, if a thread in a @code{WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS} is interrupted many times, filling up the queue and then a gc hits and tries to send @code{SIG_STOP_FOR_GC}. @subsection Miscellaneous issues Signal handlers should automatically restore errno and fp state. Currently, this is not the case. Furthormore, while @code{arrange_return_to_lisp_function} exits, most signal handlers invoke unsafe functions without hesitation: gc and all lisp level handlers think nothing of it. @node Programming with signal handling in mind @section Programming with signal handling in mind @subsection On reentrancy Since they might be invoked in the middle of just about anything, signal handlers must invoke only reentrant functions or async signal safe functions to be more precise. Functions passed to @code{INTERRUPT-THREAD} have the same restrictions and considerations as signal handlers. Destructive modification, and holding mutexes to protect desctructive modifications from interfering with each other are often the cause of non-reentrancy. Recursive locks are not likely to help, and while @code{WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS} is, it is considered untrendy to litter the code with it. Some basic functionality, such as streams and the debugger are intended to be reentrant, but not much effort has been spent on verifying it. @subsection More deadlocks If functions A and B directly or indirectly lock mutexes M and N, they should do so in the same order to avoid deadlocks. A less trivial scenario is where there is only one lock involved but it is acquired in a @code{WITHOUT-GCING} in thread A, and outside of @code{WITHOUT-GCING} in thread B. If thread A has entered @code{WITHOUT-GCING} but thread B has the lock when the gc hits, then A cannot leave @code{WITHOUT-GCING} because it is waiting for the lock the already suspended thread B has. From this scenario one can easily derive the rule: in a @code{WITHOUT-GCING} form (or pseudo atomic for that matter) never wait for another thread that's not in @code{WITHOUT-GCING}. @subsection Calling user code For the reasons above, calling user code, i.e. functions passed in, or in other words code that one cannot reason about, from non-reentrant code (holding locks), @code{WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS}, @code{WITHOUT-GCING} is dangerous and best avoided. --- NEW FILE: threads.texinfo --- @node Threads @comment node-name, next, previous, up @chapter Threads @menu * Implementation (Linux x86):: @end menu @node Implementation (Linux x86) @section Implementation (Linux x86/x86-64) Threading is implemented using pthreads and some Linux specific bits like futexes. On x86 the per-thread local bindings for special variables is achieved using the %fs segment register to point to a per-thread storage area. This may cause interesting results if you link to foreign code that expects threading or creates new threads, and the thread library in question uses %fs in an incompatible way. On x86-64 the r12 register has a similar role. Queues require the @code{sys_futex} system call to be available: this is the reason for the NPTL requirement. We test at runtime that this system call exists. Garbage collection is done with the existing Conservative Generational GC. Allocation is done in small (typically 8k) regions: each thread has its own region so this involves no stopping. However, when a region fills, a lock must be obtained while another is allocated, and when a collection is required, all processes are stopped. This is achieved by sending them signals, which may make for interesting behaviour if they are interrupted in system calls. The streams interface is believed to handle the required system call restarting correctly, but this may be a consideration when making other blocking calls e.g. from foreign library code. Large amounts of the SBCL library have not been inspected for thread-safety. Some of the obviously unsafe areas have large locks around them, so compilation and fasl loading, for example, cannot be parallelized. Work is ongoing in this area.

Question about B&I Interior Trim 3D Dash Kits
Has anyone put a B&I Interior Trim 3D dash kit on in their truck? I was thinking about going the 3D kit route because it looks like it replaces the trim pieces all together and not just covers them up with a sticker. It seems like that would look better and be less aggravating to install than putting a sticker on the dash. Plus, I don't like the idea of having a sticker that could peel off.

Excellent palette! I thought it would be too young and sparkly for me, but am having a ton of fun with it! Highly recommend!
Age: 30-35
Skin: Oily, Tan, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Black
This was an amazing purchase. My first eyeshadow from urban decay (I have only tried the primer potion prior to this). I just loved the colours and the range offered in this palette. Perfect for someone wears a whole host of colourful indian outfits. The pigmentation and staying power was great.... I had a destination wedding which I attended in thailand. A 5 day event, it was perfect for every occasion be it night or day. I just love it! It was unfortunately quite pricy, sold at about USD 67 in Sephora in Malaysia, but worth every penny. Even the packaging was great especially the huge mirror. I felt quite confident that my eyeshadows were 'safe' during the flight.
I would hands down re-purchase if I even ran out or lost it....Sadly its limited edition :(
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Medium

My boyfriend bought me this after hearing me rave about the Naked palette for almost a year. I was not disappointed! It's the perfect addition to my beloved Naked which has served me well for natural looks. This palette is great for spicing up a look with rich colourful shades that are simply amazing for nights out, and it also hosts an array of natural tones for day wear too, including some pinks which I don't have in my Naked palette. Very happy!

I absolutely love this palette. The quality is amazing. This palette made me love urban decay.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Fair, Warm
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Green
I missed out on the original so when this debuted there was no way I was missing out on this one so snapped it up quick and so pleased I did. This is love!
If you want variety - a selection of natural eye looks and bold and bright looks then this is the palette for you and how cool that it's all present in one palette. This has to be one of my most reached for in "just a little bit bigger than it should be collection".
Great packaging and decent sized mirror for travel though the palette itself is a little on the bulky side and had it been made a little slimmer would be the ideal travel companion. Maybe the next one UD.
I love all the browns, but the real stand outs for me that I can not get enough of are Coax: the prettiest pink and nothing like anything I already have. I also love Betrayal: an iridsecent metallic violet.. Shellshock: is a nice bright silver and Strike: a true gold. So many endless combinations of eye looks in the one palette.
They apply smoothly and are well pigmented and last true to colour all day with primer. The least pigmented that needs a bit of layering to get true colour payoff is X-Rated, but the rest perform well. They also work well as shadow liners in the darker colours.
I can't see myself using this up as I have never used up a whole palette yet but if something was to happen to this it would certainly be getting replaced.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Medium Brown, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Fine
Eyes: Brown
A gorgeous, amazing palette that I'm thankful I didn't miss out on like I did with the original vice palette. I love that all the shades are highly pigmented, blend well, and have a nice smooth texture. I love the design of the case and how easy it opens- just push the button and it opens. There's also a nice huge mirror that I love using. It comes with a two ended brush to use if you're on the go. I'm extremely pleased with this palette.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Very Oily, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Green
It's a very pretty palette, but I wouldn't repurchase it. I have hazel eyes, am fair (Bourjois 51, BB 02 Sand - less orange) and to me, the shades are too dark and/or black.
They last long after applied, perform really good, easy to blend, great pigmentation, the mattes aren't dry... Everything's perfect, but the tone of colors.
I bought the palette because of the following colors: Rewind and Habit, for being neutral matte shades; Coax and X-rated, being pretty pink colors, Shellshock, because I haven't got a nice silver shade and Betrayal, because it's a fluorescent purple.
The palette is a nice mix of colors and neutrals, and it's a nice palette to start your eyeshadow collection: neutrals (7), blacks (3), highlighter (2), dark colors (7), light colors (7), different family colors (black, silver, pink, blue, gold, green, purple, brown, taupe). You can make a formal, everyday or a nights out look.
BLACKS: Smokeout (eg. Creep), Lovestick (with silver glitter that doesn't transfer), Poison (greyish, but as a black), Voodoo (duochrome: black-purple), Prank (blackish blue). I feel like there are too many blacks. I don't use them. I would be fine with one black, but this many? I use a black gel eyeliner so I just use a black for darkening the look, but not that often to justify so many dark and black looking shades.
BROWNS: I have the Naked 1 and 3, and I made myself a MAC 10 pan palette of brown, so I have similar colors: Radar and Radar (eg. Snakebite, Darkhorse), Derailed (Satin Taupe, Mugshot, Darkside). Rewind is a nice medium matte brown, perfect for crease.
NEUTRALS: Habit (eg. WOS, but not noticeable lighter) is a nice blending color and good for brow highlight, Dope (eg. Virgin but darker, Sin but less pink) i like the most - I am a fan of this type of shades because the metallicness is not that noticeable for an everyday look, but they 'lift' the eye. I adore combining Dope with Rewind.
GOLDS: Strike (more yellow than Half Baked) I will never use. I don't like golds.
SILVER: Shellshok is a true silver (Gunmetal is way darker).
BLUES: I have never used blues, but teals. I like to apply them on the lower lashline when wearing a neutral eye. Prank has a lot of black in it, Madness is a royal blue. Madness is dark but pretty.
GREENS: Damaged is a royal green, if that exist :D. I don't have MAC Humid, but it may be similar. Stash is like Sumptuous olive. Both nice shades.
PINKS and ORANGES: Toxic is a mix of pink and orange; haven't used it but looks pretty in the pan. Coax is less cranberry than Last Call or Cranberry, a nice metallic medium pink. X-Rated is matte baby, medium pink.
And that's it!
I wouldn't recommend this palette to someone who has a lot of palettes like me. I am very attracted to UD since I find they make best eyeshadows and that the palettes are a great value. The quality is superb and the performance is unbeatable.
I have: Naked 1, Naked 3, Naked Basics, Ammo 2, and by Sigma the Cr�me de Couture palette (which I feel isn't as pigmented and vibrant as it looks).
Age: 19-24
Skin: Dry, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Green
For the amount of shadows and the high quality pigmentation I can not fault this product. Has such a great colour pay off. The only thing is that I wish there was more matte shades in the pallet. All in all it is a great pallet and would highly reccommend for those who love that pop of colour
Age: 19-24
Skin: Normal, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
I'd normally stick to the naked range but after owning them all I felt like I needed a bit of colour and didn't want to sway from urban decay so this caught my eye. Although there is a few colours which can be used for a neutral look there is wide range of colour too and I absolutely love it. I never thought I'd see the day where I'd wear purples and blues but urban decay have done it again and made it possible. In love with this palette although I normally don't use it for my everyday look I'd still highly recommend this to colour lovers

I got this as a gift for Christmas, and wasn't sure if I'd be able to use it. I'm a neutral girl, so this looked colorful & scary to me! I'm glad that I was wrong & this palette is so fun & I'm loving it!
First of all, even if you prefer neutral looks, there are quite a few shades in this palette that are neutral, so you could easily do only neutral looks & still have quite a bit of eyeshadow to work with. Maybe you'd run out of combinations quickly, but it's doable.
What I really like to do, though, is do my "normal" neutral looks with fun pops of color to change up my look. I've really been challenging myself to branch out, but I can use this palette without being too out there, which is perfect for me. For instance, I'll do a mostly neutral look, with a color smudged under my eyes, or patted in the center of my lid, or under my crease color for a "peekaboo" of color.
As far as the quality of the shadows- they're excellent! All the colors are pigmented, finely milled and blend well. There are lots of shimmers and glitters, so you'll probably not like this palette if you prefer matte looks. Other than that, I think everyone can benefit from this palette- even the neutral lovers like me!
(I won't go into specific details about the colors, as other reviewers have described them in detail)
