Picture: Garry Marshall and Guests Los Angeles World Premiere of 'Valentine's Day' held at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre Hollywood, California - 08.02.10
Veteran moviemaker Garry Marshall is set to become Hollywood's holiday man after bringing together a host of stars for a film tribute to St. Valentine's Day.
The Pretty Woman director has confirmed he's already working on a follow-up to his upcoming Valentine's Day film - and the sequel will concentrate on New Year's Eve.
He tells Eonline.com, "They're making me the holiday director... Now, for all the holidays, I'll be doing something."
And he's very keen to work with Twilight star Taylor Lautner again: "He can take a grape, throw it up in the air, do a flip and then catch it in his mouth. Nobody will let him do that in a movie. I'm gonna let him."

Juventus coach Antonio Conte is full of praise for AS Roma counterpart Rudi Garcia.
Juve have only just knocked Roma off the top of the table.
"Rudi Garcia is doing something extraordinary. Not being top despite 10 wins and three draws means the competition is fierce and we cannot afford to let our concentration levels drop.
"During a season, there can be two or three decisive moments. The less we make mistakes, the better. We are top now, but from tomorrow until Christmas our path will be complicated," said Conte.

Generous Rotarians raised £4,000 for a cancer charity supporting research at the University of Surrey.
The Topic of Cancer charity was set up by cancer patient Nigel Lewis-Baker, and backs research into immunotherapy, which last year academic journal Science said "passes the test" in terms of evidence.
The money was raised at a Rotary Club event in Surbiton's Holiday Inn.

Early Care Urged for Patients With Trouble Swallowing
TUESDAY, Aug. 17 (HealthDay News) -- Difficulty swallowing (also called dysphagia) is associated with poor outcomes in hospital patients, researchers warn.
Latest MedicineNet News
"The consequences of dysphagia can be profound. Although it is appreciated that nutrition, hydration, quality-of-life issues and social isolation may arise, aspiration (especially if not immediately recognized) may be the pivotal factor that precipitates a significant decline in a patient's outcome," wrote Dr. Kenneth W. Altman, of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, and colleagues. An example of aspiration is when food gets into the airway.
In their study, the researchers analyzed data from nearly 272,000 dysphagia-related hospital admissions that were recorded in the 2005-2006 National Hospital Discharge Survey.
"Dysphagia was most commonly associated with fluid or electrolyte disorder, esophageal disease, stroke, aspiration pneumonia, urinary tract infection and congestive heart failure," the researchers wrote.
The investigators also found that being over 75 years of age was linked to a doubled risk of dysphagia.
The median number of days spent in the hospital was 40% longer for patients with dysphagia than for other patients -- 4.04 days versus 2.4 days. Among patients undergoing rehabilitation, the risk of death was 13 times higher for those with dysphagia, which also increased the risk of death among patients with intervertebral disk disorders and heart disease.
"While dysphagia occurs in only a small portion of hospitalized patients, the impact on hospital resources is substantial," the researchers concluded. "We recommend early identification of dysphagia in hospitalized patients, particularly in those with high-risk [coexisting] conditions such as older age, stroke, dehydration, malnutrition, neurodegenerative disease, pneumonia, cardiac disease and the need for rehabilitation. The plan of care in these patients should include proper assessment, early intervention using appropriate therapy and aspiration precautions, and consideration of [alternate] feeding or supplementation options in the high-risk populations."
The study findings are published in the August issue of the journal Archives of Otolaryngology -- Head & Neck Surgery.

300: Rise of an Empire (2014)
Falcon Studios does "real" movies now?
I didn't know Falcon Studios wants to "get real" now - and brings all their actors along, too ;o)! Forget about history. Forget about silly details like wearing armour when you want to show off with all your great, hairless (!) bodies. Forget about the historical background, anyway, when you can fill the movie with great fights at sea including men wearing strange masks (were they Gangsta Rappers?).
Oh, yes, and forget about scriptwriting, too. Porno actors aren't used to talking, probably this is why the main actor (Demostecles?) sounds like an angry plumber all the time - he looks like that, too. His strategic analysis was fascinating: "The Persians are coming from the North and the South!" *That* surely means trouble, and those Persians must be really clever to accomplish that! But as Eva Green says: "The battle skills of the Athenians are creative!" Her character must feel very creative, too, sitting on her throne as if she was wearing a fake penis secretly.
*But* Eva Green not only is unusual and strikingly beautiful, she seemed to be the only professional actor in the movie, obviously having the time of her life skillfully overacting to be the b*tchiest b*tch of the Wild Sea. And her eyes are haunting. Her "King", though, was quite handsome as a human, but as a "God" he looked (and acted) like a transvestite high on a mix of steroids and crack. (Crack smoking probably ruined his voice, too.) Demostecles had this very hot guy around all the time, with long black hair and beard, but the character didn't do much than stand around like posing for erotic fotos and looking at his surroundings as if he was in deep pain - maybe he was the philosopher of the crowd. I actually think the only thing the "director" did was to tell his actors how to stand there to look sexy and how to look into the camera to look good. Well, as a porno director, I guess this is your daily business. He just didn't get it right with the "good" Queen, boy, was she ugly, and the actress performed like a salesgirl frustrated with her life. But that character had the strange line (near the beginning of the movie):"You've come a long way to stroke your cock watching your soldiers train" (or something like that). That was completely out of place and didn't make any sense, but I guess the Falcon executives wanted to have it in the movie. Actually none of the good guys seemed to have a sex life (they are probably to young for that?), since also the sex scene with Eva Green looked like a weird soft porno on fast forward. (I actually expected *her* to d*ggy Demistocles.) They never really got their clothes of, anyway. Probably made for teenagers, as was the whole movie, I guess.
Forget about it. The typical case of a sequel gone BAD.
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013)
Plan 9 from Outer Space?
To start with, I think "Plan 9 from Outer Space" is a highly underrated movie. But watching this movie I really couldn't help thinking of watching the worst movie of all time.
First of all, the direction. Peter Jackson's cheap and uninspired made-for-TV style hasn't improved at all since the first part of LOTR. Nor has his poor script writing. Time and time again the actors have to dramatically mumble silly one-liners like "The war is coming!" and stare into the camera as if they were in pain. They probably were, since all the actors generally seemed to be decent. The script also is just a loosely connected series of fights and battles time and time again containing pseudo-dramatic situations of the kind "all is lost", but since it's all so overdone, you know it will be all right and of course the story has to go on, too.
Particularly the queeny elves with their perfect hairstyles annoyed me, their king is more of a queen, anyway. At least that leader of the dwarfes, the guy with the black long hair and the beard, was super hot.
It all ended with lenghty conversations with a dragon high on coke, I hoped he would kill them all, especially since the Hobbit looks like a German trash comedian (Bully Herbig) whom I detest. The dragon flew away in the end, my buddy, who knows the book, said this actually more or less is the end of the book, the next part probably will be filled with more battles and with more silly dialogue.
It's actually very sad that a great work of literature is reduced to such silly and trashy film making and script writing. If they had just made a fantasy movie based on their own script where you know it will be a superficial action fantasy movie with perfect hairstyles flowing around that would have all been well and good. But now Mr. Tolkien will have a very uneasy rest, shame on Peter Jackson! Ed Wood would have done a better job with all the money Peter Jackson had available!
The Perfect Son (2000)
Depressing, revolting and superficial
I would like to sue the German DVD company that sold me this movie as some kind of men's drama about father-son and brother-to-brother relationships. In fact it's only a movie telling me how nasty homosexual men are. Nothing much is happening in the movie, the jerk brother is slowly dying of AIDS, miraculously looking quite healthy in the process, the good brother stays with him, but they don't do much serious talking. We get to know nothing about their family story, their relationship, their relationship with their father, only in some small hints here and there.
The heterosexual brother is a good, if not to say perfect man. He's ruggedly masculine but sensitive, very good looking and thoughtful, he pulls his life together now that he's out of rehab, gets a job and plans to start a family with the absolutely nice girl he has always loved. He's also the only male in the whole movie who looks good and actually dresses attractively (fashion in the 1990s must have been hilarious). The homosexual brother is an ugly, bitchy, whiny queen who is proud of being a sex addict ("I've slept with over hundred men!"/"I'm not a relationship kind of guy.") and who, although he's HIV positive, regularly has prostitutes coming round and visits seedy sex clubs. He obviously played the perfect son for his father, who's dead now, and never came round to fully accept his sexuality, never told his parents about it, and therefore indulges in this self-defeating, self-hating behaviour. Once he's honest, I think, and shouts "I hated myself so much!", but as usual in this movie it isn't explored further.
The thing is, every gay man in the movie is like that. It's revolting. They look and act all the same - weird, queeny -, talk trash ("I'm the fairy godmother!") and cruise around. The gay sex club the bad brother visits looks like a vampire's den where young men looking and staring at the good brother as if they would like to drink his blood just do nothing although the bad brother nearly had a heart attack or something.
The bad brother does nothing but sit at home and whine around ("Do I still look OK?"), he never reflects on his life, his mistakes, his relationships etc. The good brother is like a saint and puts up with him, writes poetry and politely ignores how the jerk friends of the bad brother try to cruise him.
In the end, the good brother just gets rid of the bad brother with an overdose of heroine and cleans the sheets. Now he can get on with his good, decent heterosexual life, the bad and nasty homo brother is dead and nobody is going to miss him.
Do *not* watch this movie! It's a relict from a seemingly horrible, homophobic time, the 1990s. And/or it's the director getting even with a brother he hated, I strongly suspect that. But do I as a viewer need to get abused by the wounded ego of a producer/director? I think not.
Stardust (2007)
charming movie, annoying gay stereotypes
Basically this is a really charming fantasy tale, well acted and directed and with a handsome cast. What annoyed me were Robert De Niro's scenes. Actually a friend recommended this movie to me because there is a gay pirate in it, so I was really curious about this character, and I wonder, why does a family audience - which is I guess what this movie is intended for - need to get the same tired old gay stereotypes hammered into their brains? Of course De Niro's scenes were funny, and it was funny to see De Niro acting such a part, but still I think the writers wasted such splendid opportunity to create something off-beat and intelligent, because *of course* the gay pirate captain has to be queeny and likes to cross-dress. The writers should just have left it at the nice hints that something is going on between the captain and the Skinny Pirate. But what was the allusion at the end that something is going on between the captain and snotty Humphrey about? This was really bizarre. The writers obviously couldn't handle this topic.
I'm Not There. (2007)
Magnificent Legacy - Go and See It!
I must admit that I just wanted to watch the movie because of Heath Ledger. Maybe his tragedy makes this movie more well known - at least I hope so, because it is a masterpiece! Six (?) struggling artists are portrayed in interwoven episodes, which makes the first minutes of the movie utterly confusing. They are tied together by the fact that they are all inspired by Bob Dylan's life, and by the movie's wonderful conclusion, which I'm not going to spoil for you. Photography and direction are wonderful, the powerful images in sublime colors are so much what contemporary movies with 'stylish' subdued photography lack. At one point I was beginning to think that this movie could just go on forever, again and again switching from one character to another and showing small but meaningful incidents in their life. Acting is wonderful overall, and I especially liked the actor playing James Baldwin - yes, it was a silent extra part that isn't even credited here, but the actor still was performing - marvelous. The character of Michelle Williams seems to be a mix-up of Nico and Edie Sedgewick, which was great, since the song "I'll Keep It With Mine", which Bob Dylan wrote for Nico, could be heard in the movie, too.
The episode starring Richard Gere is the most fantastic and also features surreal masquerade, but I liked the episode starring Heath Ledger best, because the real man and artist began so much to shine through in his performance and it all had a somewhat foreboding and farewell-saying character. Anyway, it's so fitting that this off-beat piece of great art is one of Mr. Ledger's last movies, even if it's also very sad, of course ...
The Time Machine (2002)
tawdry patriotism and a bad script - what more to ask for?
Stay far away from this movie. Except of some basic ideas it has nothing to do with the classic novel by H. G. Wells. Acting is so-so, although to be fair the actors don't have much of a chance because of the silly script. Well's critical novel is made into a cheap quasi Sci-Fi movie that is also stupidly patriotic. Of course the big good American guy can save those helpless little bush people of the bad bad guys and restore peace and order and all that on his own, of course. Yeah right. Jeremy Iron's appearance marks the most complex dialogue sequence of the movie (he is a bad bad guy that tells the good guy why everything happened that way) and his performance is probably the best of the movie next to the Hologram guy, whose second appearance is allowedly a clever plot twist. The only good direction takes place in the last scene of the movie when the future and the past are cleverly faded into each other. But don't waste your time or money on this movie.
The Prestige (2006)
A masterpiece - and Morgan Shepard is in it, too!
This movie was a big surprise for me. I expected some kind of mystery thriller, but this movie was for more sophisticated as I thought it would be.
First of all is the complex way it is narrated, with a narrator at the beginning and the end, but mostly a visual presentation of a diary that also takes into account another diary read by the owner of the first diary - and the owner of the second diary reads the first diary in jail! That's not the usual sweet and simple Hollywood brain candy, and it's obvious at this point that the movie must be based on a clever novel. That's probably also were the script's meditations on the nature of show magic come from. The ending will be a big, big revelation, but all the loose strands come together in a very ironic climax.
Photography is good, if somewhat gloomy, fitting the plot, of course. But it's a wonderful break from the artificial and computer game like looking photography often found in Hollywood movies today.
Acting is great overall, that's all there is to say. David Bowie is wonderful as the somewhat sinister, faustian inventor Tesla. And, of course, I was so surprised when I saw Morgan Shepard in his small but wonderful part! He's a magnificent and distinguished actor who mostly gets small parts, which is quite a shame. He was also in Ridley Scott's Duellists or the Seaquest TV serial.
Anyway, the worst part of the movie is the score: while this bland and repetitive piece of music works OK in the movie (you don't hear much of it), it doesn't survive the light of day on a CD. That's no big surprise, though, when a score is "produced" by Hans Zimmer, that overrated wannabe score composer.
Wer früher stirbt ist länger tot (2006)
Some irony would have helped
Well, another German comedy ... This time, it's even a Bavarian comedy, obviously a high budget production (the photography is surprisingly good) ... But it falls in the same trap of the mindset some Bavarians really seem to like: Speaking strong Bavarian accent is so great and so big fun, especially if it is combined with simple-mindedness and and ruthless manners. Therefore we have in this movie silly sex jokes ("Can I sleep with you?" asks the little boy his female teacher), lurid depictions of butchered pigs and killed rabbits and stupid dialogues like the father's use of the phrase "Get lost" as a loving greeting for his son, or the little boy's naive question "Können Sie Leviten lesen?" (sorry, this one can't be translated). Of course, life in small Bavarian villages is here shown to be oh so great and oh so happy ... Yeah, right, because it is so wonderfully simple-minded ... If the script would have treated this kind of life with irony, this could have been a great movie, but being what it is it is just yet another simple-minded German comedy. Besides, the nude scene of the leading Austrian actor was hilariously bad. But still, some jokes are nice and there is a funny cameo by Konstantin Wecker, therefore the three points.
Hable con ella (2002)
Great, original, thought-provoking
Yet another great movie by Pedro Almodovar, that's all I've got to say. It's interesting to see here how he wants to open up traditional gender roles without making his male characters sissies or drag queens (or his female characters butch cliché lesbians). There is some effort to erase gay stereotypes, too, interestingly without using a gay character. The dance scenes are wonderful and give the movie an air of vibrant, sophisticated artistry. Of course, what Benigno does seems wrong, but its interesting that the movie doesn't judge him and seriously considers his arguments, and in the end it is he who can awaken the girl.
Acting is great overall, I especially liked Geraldine Chaplin because she is such an interesting person and actress. She actually looks Spanish, too! The silent movie made some people gasp in the audience, and I was baffled by it, too. But, it isn't obscene or pornographic, so if American audiences are shocked by it (which I guess they are), I think that's rather due to their ambiguous and troubled relationship with sexual things.
Witchfinder General (1968)
Unusual and original
I remember seeing this movie some years ago and being very disappointed. I expected to see a proper British horror movie starring Vincent Price, but this movie is something completely different, and now I liked it very much.
"Witchfinder General" largely works like a western, with the Good Guy riding after the Bad Guy to get his revenge and protect/rescue his love interest. The movie is also interested in portraying the cynic and disgusting practices of the witchcraft "trials" back then. The ending will surprise, baffle, or at least disappoint most viewers, I guess. But that's what original movies often do. Here we suddenly have a proper British horror movie ending, with an air of shock and tragedy, and the screaming girl put in a freeze frame - although the western movie scheme is followed to the point of rescue and revenge. But the evil and sinister doings of Matthew Hopinks have created a vicious circle of violence the protagonists can't escape. In this respect "Witchfinder General" is a surprisingly modern and reflective movie.
It seems the director had problems directing his actors, but Vincent Price is great as usual, giving his character an even more sinister and diabolical air by his magnificent underplay. There are people who say that this is Price's best performance, and that he wasn't a good actor. Both assumptions are untrue. This is just yet another great performance by Price. Most other actors do great jobs, too, and I really wonder why Hilary Dwyer wasn't able to get a career going, she seems to have been be such a talented actress. Photography is lush and makes the best of the magnificent British landscapes and landmarks seen in the movie, and Ferris' score is wonderful in its warm romanticism and folk-like simplicity.

Same. I really liked the first game - I own and have played both the wii and PC versions, multiple times...really hated TFU2 however. Luckily I just borrowed the second rather than bought it though, so nothing lost other than 3 hours of my time(Yes, the game really is that short).
|Nov 26 2012 Anchor
I'll have to agree with you there, they had SO much potential with design, they could have opened up light and dark side skill trees and so much more but instead they make a weaker version of the first game.
|Nov 26 2012 Anchor
I've been playing a PC version, and maybe it's just because I got it on discount, but I actually really like the combat systems they had going in TFU II. The boss fights are no longer utter frustration (except for Vader) and the only downside is that the only two new additions, fury and mindtrick, are the most useless things to include. Besides that, I actually don't regret getting it, especially with the fact that the PC version has ways to be modded.
|Nov 26 2012 Anchor
I thought Vader was hilarious in TFU2...In the final level(At least on the wii version, PC may be different), you're in this medical type room with cloning tanks. Vader's at the other end of the room, he points at you and says some insult along the lines of "You suck", basically, then the door closes in front of him and clones burst out. Fight the clones, the door opens when they're dead, run down a hallway and...You're in the exact same room just copy+pasted, Vader throws some other insult that still basically means "You suck and I am superior", then closes the door, clones burst out, ect. That same hallway and room and fight is just copy+pasted, only difference is Vader gets a slightly different line each time.
The thing that really made it funny though, is that he's calling you weak, him superior, ect, all while running away from you!
Yeah...I actually liked that part a bit since I couldn't stop laughing
|Nov 26 2012 Anchor
On the PC version, you fight him on cloning platforms, tossing back bacta tanks at him (giving you unpleasant flashbacks to his bossfight for the PC version of the first game) and fighting off clones while sometimes just going toe to to with him. The problem is that you can fall of the platforms and then Vader regains almost all the health you chip away from his healthbar... it gets tiring, eventually.
The Gorog fight was far better, if about equally drawn out.

The only games I have ever bought and later regretted were Assassin's Creed for the Nintendo DS (I don't remember the exact name; all I remember was it was horrible) and L.A. Noire. The worst part is I love Detective movies and novels, and I love film noir. It was supposed to be my best game ever, but it was so boring. There was no overarching plot worth giving a hoot about, and the mechanics quickly became stale. Definitely not my kind of game.
|Dec 5 2012 Anchor
I agree with the DS Assassin's Creed (was expecting something like AC2, got mario creed instead), but not L.A. Noire.

He's got a point though... some guy in custody is for sure involved with the crime? Try to doubt him and the fucking asshat of a detective accused him of murder fucking up the case... U.=.U ...

Seriously, it scared me away from handheld versions of AAA console games forever! Though, Kingdom Hearts: BBS was great on the PSP.
Obviously it's really only a matter of opinion, but yeah, I think what made it all the worse was that I was really, really looking forward to the game. I think if they had made a more compelling, overarching story that still tied in with the smaller scenes (think Heavy Rain, as an example), I would have enjoyed it more. Or maybe if they'd gone L.A. Golden Age, like Detective stories in the Agatha Christie universe...Everyone's a critic I suppose.
|Dec 5 2012 Anchor
The problem is that the game mechanics are broken. If you have a one-shot fail system and selecting a conversation option totally fires into the other direction than makes sense in such a situation is not only frustrating but just down out a game/immersion breaker. Hell even Phoenix Wright had less unpredictable and illogical conversation turns and there they did it on purpose to add comical moments :/ ... besides... flamethrower mission? Who had *that* fucked up idea to begin with.
|Dec 5 2012 Anchor
I love Phoenix Wright. Such a fun game. It was very touchy and frustrating in some parts (the English version suffers from a lot of things lost in translation), but overall it was great. I'm just kind of bummed about it's replay value...which is low. Ah the flamethrower mission. It was so bad a good friend of mine just stopped playing at that point, despite it being the last part of the game. Yeah, that idea was not the best; should have just used a normal gun like, oh, I don't know...the rest of the game?
|Dec 5 2012 Anchor
That's right. Played all of the PW games including the latest ones not featuring PW itself and they all count to my list of detective games one should not miss out. The English versions had some ugly logic holes and illogical solutions here and there but I assume this is only a translation problem as in general it all works out. With the last installement in the series I could only find 1 or maybe 2 logic holes in the entire game and that's something most AAA games can only dream off to begin with. Replay value indeed there is none. But if you are looking for replay value in detective stories you are in the wrong movie anyways since once you know the story you simply know it. That's though nothing I hold against this genre since it is an inherent property of this kind of games you can't just change like that.

Transformers: War for Cybertron. At first it seems interesting, but then the questionable writing, tedious boss fights, repetitive environments, overly powered/under powered enemies, lack of ammo, Resistance 1 style health system, and similar things just make it a frustrating experience. And the final boss fight is one of the cheapest attempts to legitimize the transforming mechanic that I've ever seen...

The two games i regret buying for full price:
Im not saying they are bad games, its just that they are not nearly as good as the reviews tried to make them, so i regret paying full price for them.

If you get fooled by Bethesda to buy a game then you really are to be pittied
|Dec 9 2012 Anchor
For me it would have to be AC3, the campaign was rushed it wasn't as good as ACR or ACB plus they kill of Desmond witch is a shame and on top of that you play as a Templar at the start of the game and Conner gets a Mohawk mullet later in the game also Conner hardly wears the hood when you get thither into the game (I actually sat there and yelled at him to put the hood back on because come on no one wants to see that mullet >:o), the only decent thing in game was probably the boat missions they were fun but other than those missions the game was pretty disappointing ~ I just want Ezio back. R.I.P
EDIT: Oh, Another thing that was weird was they combined Altair & Ezio together to make Conner so Ezio = Intelligence + Altair = Strength thus making Conner "The Super Assassin" is how they won the war that was going on in the first place, A Super Assassin. Well that's what i think anyway it's a nice theory
EDIT: I'm just going to say tho that XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Was . . . Amazing !!!!

AMAZING powder. I hear it contains the exact same ingrediants as Giorgio Armani's, but for half the price. :)
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Black, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I use this product every single day and I've hit pan on it already. I love using this to set my makeup it completely mattifies(?) my face making my skin look so much nicer. This powder is more on the sheer/light coverage. Around 4 or 5 hours my face does get oily so I do have to reapply this throughout the day. It has not broken me out and I will keep buying this again.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium

The packaging is kind of a pain but this product is amazing. it gives you a smooth, invisible finish that looks incredibly silky. I love it!
Age: 19-24

Absolutely love this pressed powder. The packaging I must admit is a bit awkward but some people think it is pretty cool. I personally don't care much for the applicator pouf it comes with because it just wears out after a few uses and traps much more than just the makeup itself; but other than that, I DO HIGHLY RECOMMEND this powder as a foundation setter and even alone. I apply this with an all-over face brush. IT takes care of oily skin quite beautifully.
I have not had any problems with breakouts or enlarged pores. This powder is great on top of the Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse foundation. It truly enhances that "airbrushed" finish. Great Buy! Far less expensive than most other powders out on the market :]
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Medium, Neutral

Thank you for this rec! I have sensitive skin prone to breakouts and a oily T-zone. I've tried MAC blot which did a great job @ blotting but clogged my pores. I've tried NYC smooth translucent pressed powder not as great as MAC w/ blotting but a very good cheap alternative to it but it left my skin a bit ashy. Welcome Dream Matte. Dream Matte provides great blotting powers and looks very natural on my skin. It doesn't look like you are wearing pressed powder. Since using this for about 2 weeks, I haven't noticed any additional skin issues. I'm NW20 and find that Sand (Medium 0-1) works well for me. As for the packaging, it takes time getting the hang of it but I have no problems with it.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Normal, Tan, Neutral

I tried this just because.....Did not work for me. My skin is fairly normal to combination and this might work better for oily skin. It just looked ashy on me.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
To start off, my t-zone is an oil slick. After setting up my TM in the morning.. give it an hour and that's where I start blotting. Sheet after sheet after sheet. It's costing me too much money just on blotting papers. Loose powder (Laura Mercier) doesn't do anything for me. though it leaves me a good finish but only for mere minutes. I recently tried this Maybelline product to test the raves I'm hearing; I was actually kind of in doubt bec I always thought quality is almost reflected on prices and this one is dirt cheap.
And I was not disappointed! I'm currently on the Ivory (light 2-3) shade and it's perfect on my skin tone! It doesn't leave a white/gray cast on me and I must say that this will definitely be a staple on my kit. Say from 20 blotting sheets a day.. now down to 3 :) and each is never soaked. I just can't describe how much I'm amazed with this one. It hasn't cause break outs yet but I'll definitely update once it does (I hope it never will) =) Uber HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. WILL REPURCHASE OVER AND OVER!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I absolutely love this product. I finished three of these. I have combination skin and get's oily around the T-zone areas. This was like my holy grail during summer, whenever my makeup washed off, I could just reapply this and it's flawless. The coverage is pretty good and the sponge that comes with it is very good.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Sensitive, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
Let me say first that I am one of the laziest people I know. I leave homework to the last minute, apply the least amount of makeup possible to look presentable, and I never, EVER leave feedback on anything.
But this? This I just had to comment on. I had to. It's really that amazing.
Not only does it not sink into my pores or cake, it doesn't turn orange either. It's finely milled and looks absolutely natural, like I was born with really good skin or something. However, if you need heavy coverage, you won't find it in this. It provides a natural, sheerness that lets your skin shin through. My Skin But Better.
And to make things even better? I got it for $10.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Oily, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Green
I tend to lose interest in products fairly quickly and move on to other things that are new and exciting, but recently I've been trying to go BACK to things I haven't used for a while instead of buying more new things I don't need, to save some cash. This is such a great pressed powder. I'd recently been using Coty's Airspun (which I love) but unwittingly ran out of BCP and started having Universe's Worst Breakout (the story of my life).. Airspun didn't help cover as much as I was hoping so one morning I randomly reached for this. I'm so glad I did and I'm in love with this product again! This is perfect for days when my skin isn't looking too hot. It's got just enough coverage and is very fine so it covers blemishes and acne scars but also makes your skin look generally smoother. I don't find that it helps keep my skin matte any longer than other powders, but I mainly use it to set my makeup and even out my complexion anyway. Which is not to say it's not great for touch-ups during the day, it is! I don't like the packaging but who can complain with such a high quality, low price product?

Since I installed a fresh installation of Windows 7 Home Premium, my Internet connection behaves very strange when on wireless.
- It disconnects and reconnect by it self without any notice.
- It slows down, so much that surfing is almost impossible.
One thing that fixes it for a while is, going to the wireless network connection -> status-> and click diagnose, this restarts the wirelesses connection and become fast again. but then after a while the same again it goes very slow.
I installed Linux for a while, and as expected it worked fine with out any problems.
Before this fresh installation I did now, I had the same Windows 7 edition before and everything worked fine then, so I don't know what is really going on...
My wireless card is Atheros AR5B97 Wireless Network Adapter
and my Router is a D-Link DIR-655

My 360 downloaded it automatically but I wanted to know what kind of patch it actually is.
I lost all of my characters & costumes but I still have them under my achievments. Has anyone else had the same problem???
So my 360 did however download the patch update but I still haven't got all my characters & costumes back and they are still under my Achievements but can't upload those achievements back into the game.
I just hope it won't happen again cuz it was a pain in the @ss to get all the costumes & characters.

i can't find the post, but on the xbox forums (official ones) people where saying that after the patch was downloaded, the game made a 2nd save, and if you view your save games, you could see two dead or alive 4 icons, and that deleting the one on the right (the newer one) made the game load your old gamesave. you've got nothing to lose if you didn't re-unlock very much yet.

Made in UF 3.01...I really need to update my UF to 3.02 but anyway Three layers of UF and some small text in Photoshop
ps.....excuse the name, I wanted to keep it as close to what I had named it.
ps.....excuse the name, I wanted to keep it as close to what I had named it.
I really like the use of colour to achieve lighting and depth in this one. Not too crazy about the use of the pink though - it contrasts too much with the red, and pulls your eye towards the edges of the image. Overall great work though
Visiting your gal. and fell on this little gem.
Exquisite render.
Exquisite render.
wow this is one of the best swirls i've seen, it's...not as obvious as most, has great colors and layer use
I like this one. really cool colors
Very cool GA.. I like the effects, colors, and how it looks. Plus what is UF?
Exquisite colors and patterns flow. Georgous fractal!
those colors reminds me of japanese cartoons...manga was the style if i remember right..
one of the best fractal-pics what i've seen...

(sorry I have to comment on all of your recent works, I just feel I have to since I am so intruiged) I really LIKE the colors, this color choice is a nice variation from some of your other colors in othe works
ah you created a very nice spiral
wow! this is just gorgeous...reminds me of peach rose petals I have one in my bathroom actually...lol...Someone who doesn't want to be known left it at my door
Anyways, *fave*

OK this might sound weird but...it looks like the guy on the right is wearing the MJ "Thriller" outfit !
Is there anyway I could purchase a print of this from you? I would love to hang this up in my home. It makes me smile every time I look at it!
Very nice, though I'd check Tatsuya's hand holding the helmet, and the details on Maya's costume. The color tones, and the layout of the scene overall look great.
Yeah P2. Awesome
So beautiful <3
Nice color!
Nice color!
Ahaha - so nice, specialy Deja vu boy .
Love the idea of Tatsuya from both Persona 2 games having an embrace with Maya Great job!!
Amazing! one of my fav games of all time!

Cooler Concepts, LLC
|Cooler Concepts, LLC Patent applications
|Patent application number
|WRAPPER FOR AN ICE CHEST - An expandable wrapper for an ice chest includes fastening elements at opposed ends for overlapping and securing the ends to one another. The wrapper is of expandable material and in combination with the fastening means will accommodate ice chests having a large range of girth dimensions. Preferably, the material is receptive to printing of words, logos and designs to suit a user's preferences and to personalize the wrapped ice chest. In a variant, the wrapper may be a sleeve slidable mounted on the ice chest and of expandable/elastic material to accommodate the difference in girth between the bottom and the upper end of the ice chest as well as to accommodate ice chests of different sizes.
|EXPANDABLE COOLER SLEEVE - A sleeve for encircling a conventional ice chest provides opposed panels for supporting indicia. The first end of each of the panels are interconnected with a first expandable member and the second end of each of the panels are interconnected with a second expandable member. Upon mounting of the sleeve on the ice chest, the expandable members are expanded and subsequently contract about the ice chest to retain the sleeve in place. Openings in the first and second expandable members accommodate pass through of handles attached to the ice chest. Because of the first and second expandable members, the sleeve can be mounted on ice chests of different girth and yet be retained in place.
