This is an awesome outer-V color for a less intense smokey eye look! I paried this with Juxt as a wash and Eye Popping on the inner corner of the eye which go wonderfully with the green bits of shimmer in club! Club looks like a plain dark shade, but when you get closer to it you can see that its shimmer is more complex. I love colors like these. This is a MUST have after you get other darker shades such as Espresso, carbon, etc.
This is probably my favorite MAC shadow to date along with Cranberry :).

Why did I wait so long to buy this??? I have been in love with Moth Brown for months and this is just like it only green, lol. Just beautiful. I know I'm going to have lots of fun with this one.

This is one of my favorite e/s, period. It's so versatile and flattering for my green eyes. I don't find it to be as red in the base as Blue Brown pigment, or as earwaxy brown in the base as Green Brown pigment; it's a nice brownish taupe that can even just be worn as a crease color with a nude shadow. I do love it layered over black or dark brown gel liner to bring out the green/teal shimmer. It's nice over liner over the whole lid and then blended up for a sultry and edgy smokey eye, and also just smudged over winged liner. I like it with Retrospeck, Naked Lunch, and also the lighter shade of the Family SIlver duo. Will repurchase for sure.

I am in the minority but I dont like this color at all. This looks like the pressed version of green/brown pigment, which I am also not a fan of. It just makes me look bruised and muddy I suspect due to the undertones which come out a bit too brassy on my nc45 skintone. I also found this shadow chalkier than the other 1,000 mac e/s I own.

I have this in the Warm Eyes palette from 2007 holiday and I had to review it...it's gorgeous...I pair it w/ Retrospeck but it's incredibly versatile and so gorgeous. I never thought I could pull this off because a. I don't really do brown e/s and b. I thought it was redder than it actually is, but in reality it's very flattering and easy to blend w/ so many colors...glad I never got the single though, because the palette is just amazing.

I was pretty skeptical when the clerk paired this one up with Vex and Steamy for me. I found some colors I liked, and Steamy happened to be one of them.
In the pot, it looks dark green, but on my crease it turns dark brown. That makes it more versatile for me, since I have a hard time finding a brown I really like to use in the crease.

I love this shadow! Great blendability and the color is so versatile when I pair it with other shadows. I usually use it for making a smoky eye. I comes out to be a blackish color with a jade green shimmer with kind of a hint of red shimmer. Its quite dark, but never harsh looking. Its really nice when you blend it well over the lid then use NARS' night breed as a liner! Perfect nighttime look for me! I'm an NW20, green eyes light brn hair for reference.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Normal, Fair, Cool
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Hazel
I'm convinced this shadow is the secret to amazing smokey eye looks. It blends sooo smoothly and is really great to work with, and looks so cool both in the pan and on lids. It can seem like a strange color and hard to pair with other shadows, but honestly it can be used with almost any green, blue, black, or grey, and probably a lot of purples too. A great, unique, versatile color. Looks amazing for simple smokey looks as liner all around the eye, too.

Gorgeous! And so so versatile!
Love this with a light blending of Shroom layered over, black kohl and Diorshow for a daytime look.
For night I do a look a MAC MUA showed me for a wedding ... Retrospeck blended with Club and then Steamy in a vertical line down the middle of my lid ... blend all together and voila! I'm in love!

Eyes: Brown
I LOVE this eyeshadow! I was a little skeptical about it from looking at in the pan, but applied it's really nice! You can easily pull this off with browns, blues, or greens. I use it a lot with browns to make a smoky eye, but not too super dark. It works daytime and nighttime - I use it on almost a daily basis. It looks mostly brown on me (NC25), but if applied right it can look more greenish. This also works as a cool eyeliner when foiled. Would definately repurchase again.

They really died. by steameyWatch
©2013-2016 steamey
He was a lord of the Green-elves hastening from Ossiriand, and the door-wards brought him to where Dior sat alone in his chamber; and there in silence he gave to the King a coffer, and took his leave. But in that coffer lay the Necklace of the Dwarves, wherein was set the Silmaril; and Dior looking upon it knew it for a sign that Beren Erchamion and Luthien Tinuviel had died indeed, and gone where go the race of Men to a fate beyond the world.
I just finished rereading this part of the Silmarillion... You depict the scene so well!
And by the way...If you just re-read Silm...could you write here briefly a couple of scenes rarely being drawn by other artists?
Sorry it took me so long to reply... I wanted to finish rereading the book first. Hmmm... Scenes not often drawn... Well, there is the one in which Mablung of Doriath finds Níniel alone and witless after she is bespelled by Glaurung the Dragon, and takes her by the hand to lead her to safety. Another scene which also comes from the Narn i Chîn Húrin portion of the Silmarillion that I've never seen drawn is the original confrontation between Turin and Saeros (when Saeros taunts Turin.) I also don't believe I have ever seen a depiction of the Council of the Valar, or of Curufin's kidnapping of Luthien. (I have seen Beren's rescue of her, but never the kidnapping.) I hope that helps! Please let me know if you would like for me to try to find passages concerning those scenes for you. Have a great day!
Thank you for advices!)Council of the Valar...it could be interesting,but it was hard to find a suitable image even for maiar Osse - i mean,not like the look of the elves or anyone else.
No problem... Yeah, I agree that would be hard to depict the Council... There are brief descriptions of all the Vala in the second chapter of the Silmarillion, and descriptions of a few Maiar later in the book, but I don't recall some of them being terribly informative. LOL. I mean, it seems pretty clear (at least to me) that the Maiar are supposed to be along the lines of fey or Aes Sidhe, or maybe nature spirits, but that still leaves a VAST amount of room for interpretation. I would make finding the right images very difficult. I would be interesting to try to draw it, though. I wish I had the skill to do so, but I doubt I could do it justice if I tried. I really need to practice more. LOL!
Any way, I'm glad my suggestions were useful. I look forward to seeing more of your art!
Any way, I'm glad my suggestions were useful. I look forward to seeing more of your art!
You think?Thanks,really)
There is a pre-Raphaelite feeling to this painting, which I like a great deal.
Really? I don't like the perspective here...
Well done! A superb depiction of one of my favorite scenes from all of Tolkien's writings.
Wow, this scene is fantastic! And reading the lines again evokes a sort of... nostalgia and wonder, especially when coupled with the picture. Your Dior is so fantastic! The robes! His hair! And I do agree this isn't a common scene to draw at all, which makes it all the more interesting
Haven't seen this scene illustrated before, I must say, neither is Dior a common subject. That said, I like your Dior. He's a bit Luthien-y, but that's exactly what he should be like (even his Grandpa Thingol thinks so). And OMG, their hair, I want to touch it (if only I could do so without getting arrow-ed to death...), it's so well done!
Yes,I prefer to choose subjects who did not become too common.The biggest problem is the details of appearance of characters - with many of them too little information...hair color,height and so on.For example,I was able to make the queen Berutiel blonde,though many would prefer black hair.It's even interesting.Like a game.
And thanks for the kind words about the hair^^
And thanks for the kind words about the hair^^
Awesome picture. I love the thought behind it.
An amazing picture, especially the many details and the hair! I am speechless!
This was a great choice of a scene to depict! I've never seen an illustration of it before, and it is a touching moment...

Extractions Windsor CT
You and Dr. Bloom, Chu or Farber may determine that you need a tooth extraction for any number of reasons. Some teeth are extracted because they are severely decayed; others may have advanced periodontal disease, or have broken in a way that cannot be repaired. Other teeth may need removal because they are poorly positioned in the mouth (such as impacted teeth), or in preparation for orthodontic treatment.
The removal of a single tooth can lead to problems related to your chewing ability, problems with your jaw joint, and shifting teeth, which can have a major impact on your dental health.
To avoid these complications, in most cases, Dr. Bloom, Chu or Farber will discuss alternatives to extractions as well as replacement of the extracted tooth.

Another great product from a great brand!
posted 8 years ago
My little hammy enjoys the sweetness of these drops, at least in the milk & honey variety. My only real complaint about any of the Vitakraft products is that they are HARD to find if you don't live near a big or decent independent pet supply store. But some can be ordered @petsmart.com.
My suggestion would be to give these as a rare treat, because when I give my hammy one or two every day, he starts to get bored with them. If I wait a week and give him one, he gobbles it up immediately (he usually will just taste something, then stuff it in his pouch for safekeeping).
They smell so tasty, I'm always tempted to taste them myself! I do suggest storing these treats in an airtight/resealable container so they don't get stale/humid.
Pros: smells delicious! adored by hamsters (and guinea pigs!)
Cons: none, really, just keep product stored in airtight container after opening!

These things smell so good that I actually took a little nibble of one once. They taste exactly how they smell- pretty good! My hamsters love them, but it's hit or miss whether I can find them in stores or not.
Pros: My hamsters eat the up right away
Cons: They can be hard to find

Hamster loves this treat. She will eat all I give her usually without storing it first. Rats love them too must be the sweets. I may have given them to my mice too. All I remember it the pets go ga ga over yogurt drops.
I think they are a healthy treat just hold the sugar.
Pros: Easy to feed
Cons: None

When The Propeller Stops Propelling
Engine-out emergencies: Planning and training are your best defense
|There aren't many mechanical contrivances that are more reliable than an aircraft engine. At the same time, there aren't too many mechanical contrivances upon which our physical well-being is so clearly dependent. The good news is that engine failures almost never happen. The operative word being "almost," it has to happen only once to ruin your day. If you keep your wits about you, however, and you plan for the possibility of an engine failure, you greatly increase the probability that you'll survive the unscheduled reunion of airplane with earth.
|Things To Remember
|• Always fly the airplane first.
|• Develop an emergency-ready mind-set.
|• Always look for suitable landing sites.
|• Say to yourself, "There's one I can land on."
|• Know and understand your aircraft's systems.
|• Practice power-off landings.
|• Have a plan and be ready to use it.
|• Don't forget to fly the airplane.

About the artist
Renowned for her photographs of Marilyn Monroe, Eve Arnold (1912-2012) is one of the world's most celebrated female photographers. Born in Philadelphia to Russian immigrant parents, she studied photography with Alexei Brodovitch at the New School for Social Research in New York. Arnold first became associated with Magnum Photos in 1951, and became a full member in 1957. She was based in the US during the 1950s but went to England in 1962 and, except for a six-year interval when she worked in the US and China, she lived in the UK for the rest of her life. Her time in China led to her first major solo exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum in 1980. In 1995 she was made fellow of the Royal Photographic Society and elected Master Photographer by New York's International Center of Photography. In 1996 she received the Kraszna-Krausz Book Award for 'In Retrospect' and in 2003 was granted an Order of the British Empire. She has had twelve books published, including most recently 'Eve's Arnold's People', Thames & Hudson, UK (2009) and 'Marilyn Monroe by Eve Arnold', Washington Green/Halcyon, UK; Harry A. Abrams, USA (2005).

Ron Lawson wasn't always fat. When the director of accounting at a Chicago manufacturer started working as a CPA in 1989, he was a willowy six feet three inches tall and 160 pounds. But after 16 years of spending 70-hour workweeks in the company of spreadsheets—chugging Cokes and inhaling cheeseburgers as he crunched numbers late into the night—he noticed his pants had become as snug as Mick Jagger's, but without the attractive results. "I'd been getting them let out for two years, but they pinched anyway," he says. "I had to buy six new suits."
This development might have sent a lesser man into the arms of SlimFast shakes and celery sticks. But Lawson, now 42, is not interested in doing penance for too many Double-Doubles from In-N-Out Burger. He's proud of his 40-inch waist. Not only that, he considers it an asset—clients have told him that he's intimidating when he walks into a room.
"You don't want to go into a closing meeting with a guy my size and have a confrontation," says Lawson, who weighs 240 pounds. "My bad opinion doesn't bode well for a company."
So he enjoys every bite of his power lunches (and breakfasts and dinners), be they double cheeseburgers, chocolate-chip bagels, or peanut M&M's ("Having some now!" he writes in an e-mail). And he doesn't give a thought to changing.
"I could become a vegetarian, but I'm not going to do that," he says. "I'd rather enjoy my life."
Lawson is part of a group of accomplished men who are fat and proud of it—portly strivers for whom a little girth is as much a sign of success as is a corner office. In a weight-obsessed nation that now seems more mobilized to fight the war on fat than the one on terror, the number of such husky mavericks is small. Far more common are those sinewy type A's running for their lives on treadmills between conference calls. Still, there is no shortage of supersize success stories, even in fields that put a premium on body image: Witness Elf director Jon Favreau, 38, whose weight was once reported at 270 pounds; former PayPal board member Reid Hoffman, 37, who cashed out when eBay bought the company for $1.5 billion in 2002 but hasn't lost his double chin; Trent Lott's former deputy chief of staff John Green, 33, a Washington lobbyist whose gut is as large as he is influential; Sopranos actor James Gandolfini, 44; puffed-up rocker Ben Gibbard, 29, lead singer of Death Cab for Cutie; Chasing Amy actor Ethan Suplee, 29, who has been steadily slimming down from his onetime 449-pound mass; and, of course, the succulently named Meat Loaf, 58.
Ed Lavandera, a 32-year-old CNN correspondent who has reported on the explosion of the space shuttle Columbia and the execution of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, also fits the XXL mold. He declined to give his exact weight but says, "It dawned on me recently that I could go head-to-head with Shaquille O'Neal." (The basketball star weighs 325 pounds.) "Unfortunately," Lavandera says, "I can't jump very well." Lavandera was a solid six feet, 200 pounds in 1995 when he went to work at a CBS affiliate in Midland, Texas. A steady infusion of quesadillas at a Mexican take-out joint a block from the station led to a 15-pound gain that year—and every year since. But in spite of his expanding onscreen presence, CNN hired him in 2001 to cover the Southwest region. Since then, Lavandera's quesadilla runs have been replaced—as he races from story to story—by visits to hotel waffle bars and airport grab-and-go stands.
"I'm very happy with who I am right now," he says. "My weight is not what I measure my self-worth by."
But in an industry where even jolly Al Roker has had bariatric surgery, surely the suits at CNN must have pulled Lavandera aside for a chat about his appearance? Not so, he says. "I've been very fortunate—and people might be amazed by this—but I've never had a director at CNN who's said, You need to do something about your weight.'" When asked whether this was true, a spokeswoman for CNN declined to comment. The only problem his bulk might pose is if he had to do a fly-over scene and was too heavy to ride in the helicopter. Lavandera has considered asking the cameramen to shoot him from a less fattening angle, but for the most part, he limits his pre-camera prep to making sure his hair is not sticking up and his shirt is buttoned.
Being fat was not always seen as a shameful thing. Until the end of the 19th century, a big belly was a sign of a big wallet—J.P. Morgan and Howard Taft accentuated their busting guts with too-tight vests and heavy gold-watch fobs. As the industrial revolution peaked, however, food became cheaper and lost its association with affluence, and gorging on it simply meant you had no willpower. "If someone was fat, they were seen as too weak to control their appetite," says Dr. Eric Oliver, a political scientist at the University of Chicago who is writing a book on the politics of obesity. But no one thought fat was necessarily bad for you until after World War II, when a Metropolitan Life insurance agent published a study saying fat people have shorter life expectancies than slim ones.
Since then, weight has been a class punch line, more a problem for the boulder-assed hoi polloi lining up at Wendy's than for the gourmands fighting for a reservation at Per Se in New York, where a prix fixe five-course tasting costs $175. Of course, money doesn't protect the privileged from having to poke more holes in their belts. According to a University of Iowa study, the prevalence of obesity is growing three times as fast among Americans who make $60,000 or more a year as it is among poorer people. It makes sense when you consider that a desk-bound yuppie spends most of his 60-hour workweek in a cushy Aeron chair, nourished by venti Frappuccinos and Philly cheese steaks delivered right to his cubicle. Add to that an extended commute and the trend, once again, toward eating out (where you're more likely to indulge in duck pâté than you would at home) and you can see why big shots are getting bigger.
Apparently, extra weight doesn't affect earning potential. A New York University study found that fat men can make at least as much money as skinny men. In some cases, a blasé attitude toward body image may even give you an edge—a workout routine won't distract you from turning your memos in on time.
Sacrificing professional ambition for killer abs is a career strategy that makes about as much sense to English professor Thomas H. Benton as calling in sick three days a week. He says his time is better spent writing his next book about American literature than jogging around the small liberal-arts college campus in Michigan where he works. Benton, 37, who asked to be identified by the pen name he uses for his column in The Chronicle of Higher Education, has gained 40 pounds since he was a graduate student at Harvard in 2000. Back then, he couldn't afford a car and had to walk to campus, lugging piles of books, which helped keep his weight down. Now he takes the car to work, often via the drive-thru lane at McDonald's. And he has research assistants fetching his books. He also has children, a circumstance that provides myriad opportunities to nosh. "If they leave food out on the counter, I eat it," he says. "I've become a walking Disposall."
Benton, who expects to earn tenure in six months (only one in five newly hired instructors ever makes it to the tenure track), credits his 230-pound frame with helping him keep a packed lecture hall at rapt attention. "Size has this authoritative dimension," says Benton, who teaches in untucked polos (he says he'd look bad in a tucked-in shirt with a tie) and khakis. "If you are good at what you do, it's not an impediment."
Fat-assed self-satisfaction, of course, flies in the face of the country's $46 billion diet industry, which equates success with thinness and suggests you can continually re-sculpt a fat you into an ab-blasting ber-earner. "Because this is America, we have this Horatio Alger notion about weight," says Paul Campos, author of The Diet Myth. "We think you can pull yourself up by your bootstraps and be thin." But not everyone wants to be able to see his ribs.
Lawson, the Chicago accountant, actually does exercise regularly. He has run eight marathons—spurred on by his wife's taunts that he's "not a runner"—with the pleasing result of having never lost any significant weight from the effort. (He competes in the Clydesdale division, racing's equivalent of a Big & Tall store.) And Lavandera typically runs only when he has to chase someone for an interview. Still, even an extra-large success like him sometimes hears the call of good health, so much so that he has started biking, and, after his family's two-year campaign to get him on Weight Watchers, has finally signed up. That doesn't mean he's happy about it. "The idea of going to a gym isn't something that excites me all that much," he says.
Being surrounded by hundreds of naked, Greek-god-like figures isn't enough to make Evan Goldstein hit the free weights either. The operations manager of a New York mannequin factory, he doesn't bother to suck in his 42-inch gut when he walks by all those plastic examples of anatomical perfection, who are each six feet four inches tall with adolescently tiny waists. "They're in better shape than me," he says. "But it doesn't bother me, because they're all the same. I'm different because I'm bigger." Maybe a bit too big. The 30-year-old MIT graduate was recently told by his doctor that he was dangerously close to being eligible for stomach stapling. "That scared me," says Goldstein. But not enough to send him to a spin class. "If I'm in the mood for fries," he says, "I'm going to get me some fries." And, while he's at it, maybe talk his boss (who's bigger than he is) into giving him a big fat raise.

- What's happening and why?
What's happening and why?
Mobile operators are offering 4G mobile services across the UK. 4G enables mobile devices such as smartphones, laptops and tablets to access the internet at super-fast speeds. This is driving innovation in business, entertainment, education and public services and helps the UK stay competitive in an increasingly digital world.
- When will this happen?
When will this happen?
The first 4G at 800 MHz services launched on 29 August 2013. These networks are expanding across the UK; when and where they launch depends on the roll-out plans of the mobile operators.
- What has this got to do with you and your TV?
What has this got to do with you and your TV?
Both 4G mobile services and digital TV use parts of the radio spectrum, that is bands of frequencies, to reach us. The 800 MHz frequencies used by some 4G services are next to the frequencies used for Freeview.
TVs and set-top boxes that receive Freeview may have the TV service blocked by these 4G signals; there is a very small chance this may cause disruption to your Freeview service. Cable and satellite services will not be affected.
You are more likely be affected if you live close to a new 4G mast, are in an area with weak digital television reception or have a TV signal booster. If you have received a postcard from us, and experience new disruption to your Freeview service, find out how at800 can help.

0bama betrays U.S. and Allies (Blackmailed by Putin)

April 7, 2012 By Doug Book
While the American media provide cover for the Constitutionally
ineligible Barack Hussein Obama, Vladimir Putin and the nation of Russia
are reaping a treasure trove of defense secrets and missile technology
by threatening to reveal the true history of the Manchurian Candidate.
Obama has spent millions to prevent his personal story from being
revealed to the American public. Records have been destroyed,
information has been hidden, false claims have been advanced, potential
whistle-blowers have been threatened and official documents have been
forged. Enabled by a complicit media and the craven cowardice of
political opponents, the most egregious felonies in the nation's history
have served to make the American people easy prey for the schemes of a
dedicated Communist and committed enemy of our Constitutional Republic.
And those schemes have included the betrayal both of the United States and her allies.
1. In 2009 Obama scrapped the long awaited missile defense system for Poland and the Czech Republic because Russia objected.
2. He has refused to keep secret the technical data on the U.S Standard
Missile-3, as called for in the 2012 defense authorization bill.
3. Obama will not pledge
to keep American missile technology from China, North Korea and Iran,
as it would "…interfere with [his] constitutional authority to conduct
foreign affairs…"
4. Obama will provide Russia information on every Trident missile
supplied to Great Britain as part of an arms control deal signed with
Russian President Medvedev.
5. Leaked cables show that the US will now provide Russia with ALL serial numbers of Trident missiles transferred to Britain.
6. Obama proposes the United States CUT its nuclear arsenal by 80%, yet demands no reciprocity on the part of Russia or any of America's enemies.
7. Joe Miller, 2010 US Senate candidate from Alaska, reports
that, under the guise of drawing a boundary, 7 Alaska-area islands and
oil rich sea beds containing perhaps billions of barrels were given to
Russia in an unannounced, secret deal by Obama's State Department.
Under Obama's programs, by 2016, defense will account for 20% of the national budget, yet bear over HALF of the deficit-reduction cuts.
In mid-March, Obama declared
he would "…provide the Russians with detailed technical information
about the anti- missile systems he plans to base in Eastern Europe…" And Congressman Darrell Issa said
that "the American people should be very afraid," continuing with "I
judge that in fact he is going to sell out our national defense after
the election."
On March 26th, Obama's conversation with outgoing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev was accidentally picked up
on an open microphone. "This is my last election…After my election I
have more flexibility," Obama told Medvedev, who said he would relay
that message to the new Russian "president" Vladimir Putin. "On all of
these issues, but particularly missile defense this, this can be solved
but it's important for him (Putin) to give me space."
Why would an American President need to secretly petition a notorious
KGB thug for "space?" Because Vladimir Putin is aware of Obama's
criminal abuses of the United States and the American people. He has
Obama by the throat, possessing information which can put the Manchurian
Candidate in prison for a lifetime. And he is using that information to
literally blackmail the American president into betraying the U.S. and
her allies around the world.
And though Barack Obama has certainly needed no persuasion to betray
the American people and inflict massive damage on the United States
since his election, that treachery is now proceeding according to a
schedule and terms dictated by Putin, making the guilt of the American
President even more obvious and his chances for re-election more
tenuous. Thus, the plea for space.
How much MORE damage could the treasonous Barack Obama cause with another 4 years in power? And who might blackmail him next?
(Numbers were replaced for 'bullets' on the above.)

And yesterday Gallup the Sycophantic "Pollster" tells us that this total failure is enjoying 50% popularity? Please! And the rest of the sycophantic press reports that the unemployment rate is now 8.2% when only 120,000 jobs were "added" last month? WTF, over?

They tried to appease Adolf Hitler by giving him some land in Czechoslovakia and instead of playing nice he used it as a springboard to attack Poland and other countries using blitzkrieg.
We are totally giving into the Russians. They are getting nothing out of this. They are terrified of our missile defense system for a reason.
In today's world you must carry a bigger stick than the other guy as a deterrent. Peace through strength. That's why there haven't been any major wars for a long time.
Obozo will seriously leave us in a dangerous position...that's when something bad will happen. Both China and Russia are getting stronger while we get weaker.
- +1You are so very correct. He will leave us in an extremely vulnerable position, and he will use that scare tactic and position of vulnerability against us. 0vomit is a traitor of the worst sort! I have used this quote here often, but it is certainly the most befitting of all that I have found:
Quote from Marcus Tullius Cicero
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."
- Borat Obama 2012/04/09 03:53:460bama is laughing at our ignorance+2The word God could not come out of King Odumba's blabber mouth. He didn't mention the word God during the Thanksgiving Holiday. He didn't mention the word God during the Easter Holy week. The Anti-Christ has risen. The son of Satan also known as King Odumba disguised as a clown. What is important to the American people is to get rid of this joker from the White House.
- +1Only one thing I would correct you on and that is "the Anti-Christ has risen". Here is why:
New International Version (©1984) 1 John 2:18
Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.
So what you have said is that from shortly after Christ's death till just now we have either 1. Been in "the last hour" since John wrote those words
2. Cannot take John at his word because the Anti-Christ didn't show himself until 0vomit
3. You're confused on what the Bible really says about the Anti-Christ.
I agree 0vomit cannot acknowledge Christ as God, or even refer to the God in Heaven as God due to his Islamic persuasion, hence his choice of calling him "A" god - but indeed, many anti-christs had already come "before" John ever wrote those words.

I was not aware that Putin had secret information on Obama. I'm aware we gave away the store on new START, but I thought that was due to Obama's transnationalism as opposed to blackmail fear.

America has become too stupid and too lazy to prevent a takeover by anybody. How sad to just give away the country and the liberty that so many brave patriots have died to keep.
I just wonder what their reaction is going to be when the stormtroopers show up at their door. Oh, that's right, it'll be Bush's fault!
f*&^ing morons.

Most estimates range between 39% and 50% of US households having at least one gun(that's about 43-55 million households). The estimates for the number of privately owned guns range from 190 million to 300 million. Removed those that skew the stats for their own purposes the best estimates are about 45% or 52 million of American households owning 260 million guns).
Which means the households having the guns have sufficient guns to supply their there gunsneighbors!! This will be a fight to the finish when it starts! And 0bomit will start it!
- Donn Wr... Annette 2012/04/08 02:26:32+1A large percentage of those gun owners will just hand over their guns when they are told to, which is coming shortly. The majority (I hope) will give them our guns bullets first. That's why the government hates the second amendment, it's much easier to be a tyrant when the serfs have no way to defend themselves.
It cracks me up when they say that if we outlaw guns, violent crime with magically vanish. How stupid can someone be to believe that? Murder is illegal every where but it still happens on a daily basis and will continue to do so, with or with out guns.
I'm concerned with how far our military and law enforcement puppets are going to go when they are ordered to kill any citizen that won't give up their guns.

The Banger Sisters There's a genuine sadness to Bob Dolman's The Banger Sisters, and I'm not talking about the pseudo moment of self-discovery when Suzette (Goldie Hawn) realizes that sleeping with "zonked-out musicians" all her life has left her empty and unhappy. No, it's our own somber realization that not only is Hawn grasping at the frayed ends of her illustrious youth, but also for some reason she thinks she can re-capture it by following in the footsteps of daughter Kate Hudson (Almost Famous). After losing her bartending gig at an LA nightclub, the weathered Suzette ventures off in search of her long-lost friend Lavinia (Susan Sarandon), who, Suzette assumes, will most certainly dump her lavish lifestyle and successful family for another chance to go out and party like the good ol' days. Maybe it's just me, but two aging ex-groupies out flailing the night away to "Burning Down the House" is not a particularly appealing cinematic experience.

Blue Wild Angel Inaccurately touted as "the definitive document of Jimi Hendrix at the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival," Blue Wild Angel is little more than a simple filming of his performance (his last), with a brief series of interviews preceding the event. These first 15 or so minutes reveal nothing about the festival or Hendrix, other than drummer Mitch Mitchell's contention that the trio was the "best band" ever to play music, and the fact that the building of the stage for the event was behind schedule. Filmmaker Murray Lerner then jumps into the extended concert scene, which has a vibrant energy pulsing beneath it, as Hendrix wails through great tunes like "All along the Watchtower" and "Foxy Lady." Fans who have never had the chance to see the voodoo child live and in concert will certainly relish this opportunity to watch him riff on his upside-down Stratocaster, while those in search of an in-depth look at the festival will be disappointed.

The Four Feathers Shekhar Kapur (Elizabeth) directs a photogenic cast (Heath Ledger, Kate Hudson, Wes Bentley) in this epic tale of love and war. (2:03) Century Plaza, Century 20, Empire, Jack London.
His Secret Life Turkish director Ferzan Ozpetek (Steam: The Turkish Bath) left his country for Italy in the 1970s, and his films tend to be explorations of outsiders, whether they're expats, gay men, women, or marginalized eccentrics. His latest follows the subdued Antonia (Margherita Buy), who loses her husband, Massimo, in a tragic car accident and soon after finds a note written on the back of a painting to Massimo from a mysterious lover. Shocked out of her grief, Antonia tracks down Massimo's paramour, and finds out her husband was involved with another man, Michele (Stefano Accorsi), for seven years. Antonia soon finds that she needs Michele and his unconventional group of friends, and her real growth as a woman, and as a person, begins with their presence in her life. It's too bad that the writing, and the incredibly disjointed editing, don't do justice to a potentially intriguing story. On a hopeful note, Buy plays a sexy, intelligent older woman the kind of role that is, unfortunately, increasingly on the fringes. (1:45) Embarcadero, Shattuck. (Gachman)
How I Killed My Father A successful doctor (Charles Berling) is given a letter informing him that his father (Michel Bouquet), who had abandoned his family decades earlier, has just passed away in Africa. Later that same evening, the father suddenly appears at his son's house for an extended stay, wherein the patriarchal figure proceeds to puncture the doctor's frail façade of a perfect life bit by control-issue-driven bit. Fans of ye olde European art house enigma flicks will find themselves happier than pigs in slop trying to discern Freudian fantasy from neurotic fact, while actress-turned-director Anne Fontaine (Dry Cleaning) lays wreaths at the altars of maestros past (an Ophuls gliding camera here, an angular Bergmanesque duality homage there) along possibly patricidal psychological-thriller pathways. Her willingness to blur reality lines serve to incite analysis rather than confusion, however, and what at first seems little more than a dysfunctional family portrait turns into an enthralling case study as its layers are peeled off one by one. (1:40) Lumiere. (Fear)
Igby Goes Down Every attempt is made to present this film as a coming-of-age story of a troubled youth, yet try as he might, writer-director Burr Steers is unable to keep from unsettling the audience with brash dialogue and a loathsome cast of characters, resulting in nothing more than an unappealing journey of a rotten little ingrate. After getting himself booted out of countless prep schools, the smart-mouthed Igby (Kieran Culkin) is sent off to a military academy by his neurotic mother (Susan Sarandon). He soon ditches the academy, and with his mom's stolen credit card, escapes to New York, where he hangs out with a drug-addicted artist (Amanda Peet) and a scrappy college dropout (Claire Danes). It's not often that a film asks you to feel for such a monstrous lead character, who finds every opportunity to insult, hurt, and take advantage of the family and friends around him, for reasons unexplored by the filmmaker. (1:38) Century 20. (Wadenius)
In Shifting Sands: The Truth about UNSCOM and the Disarming of Iraq This new doc by former United Nations weapons inspector (and ex-Marine intelligence officer) Scott Ritter studies why weapons inspection in Iraq has become an increasingly tense issue since the Gulf War. The United States which, despite an agreement to the contrary, kept economic sanctions against Iraq in place even after the United Nations special committee declared Iraq more than 95 percent disarmed comes across as exceedingly sinister, willing to override the wishes of the U.N. for its own selfish purposes. On the other hand, the film notes that Saddam Hussein's refusal to allow inspectors access to certain locations is a clear indication of his priorities he'd rather keep whatever weapons he might have hidden away, rather than comply with the U.N. and clear the way for the sanctions against his poverty-stricken people to be lifted. Somewhat dry and saddled with its own baggage (though not revealed to the viewer, the film was largely funded by an alleged pro-Saddam Iraqi American), In Shifting Sands isn't quite the open-and-shut excoriation of the U.S. government it would like to be. However, its insider perspective on such timely subject matter makes it well worth a look. (1:32) Roxie. (Eddy)

Satin Rouge Each night in a small Tunisian town, a cabaret filled with jovial male patrons comes to life when bejeweled belly dancers take the stage. The allure of such a sensual underworld is unimaginable to Lilia (Hiyam Abbas), a widowed seamstress who divides her time between sewing, cleaning, and worrying about her rebellious teenage daughter. That is, until she stumbles upon it while snooping into her daughter's love life. What follows is a much needed tour of self-discovery for Lilia. Unfortunately, her metamorphosis, while uplifting, is disappointingly slow and predictable. The film, by writer-director Raja Amari, is partly redeemed by its many belly dancers, whose fluid movements and rapid-fire gyrations are quite enchanting, and by the breathtaking Tunisian cityscapes. There is also something to be said for touting an image of feminine beauty that celebrates women as they exist in nature, folds, love handles, and all. (1:40) Opera Plaza. (Cohen)

*The Bank Making money menacing is the goal of new Australian thriller The Bank, writer-director Robert Connolly's second feature. Jim Doyle (David Wenham, who gets serious face time as Faramir in the next two Lord of the Rings installments) is a rumpled, thinky cutie fresh outta grad school who's already "on the verge of discovering the Holy Grail of economic theory." This attracts attention from Simon O'Reilly (Anthony LaPaglia), sharklike CEO of the enormous CentraBank corporation. The unproved Jim is promptly granted staff, a top-security lair, and all the computing gizmos a near bottomless budget can buy in order to develop a system that could actually anticipate market crashes before they occur. He wants to alleviate so much human suffering; Simon, of course, smells less altruistic opportunities. In visual terms, Connolly's direction is only competent, but still, The Bank is progressive pulp a movie that entertainingly worries just how perilously everyone's financial world balances on the greed and whim of institutions we have almost no influence on. (1:43) Balboa, Rafael. (Harvey)
Baraka (1:36) Castro.
Barbershop So much can happen in one day on the South Side of Chicago: so many changes, so many lessons learned, so many haircuts. Calvin Palmer (Ice Cube, who deserves meatier material) resents the fact that he had to take over his late father's barbershop, so he keeps dabbling in moneymaking scams and yearning to be free of the family business. When a slimy businessman offers Calvin a wad of cash for the shop, Calvin sells out and takes the bills. While all this is going on, two not-so-smart thugs are trying to pry open an ATM they stole the night before, which of course eventually ties into Calvin's woes and gives the story some momentum. The best scenes are those in which the characters who work and hang out at the barbershop (including Cedric the Entertainer and rapper Eve) sit around and jaw about everything and nothing. But the rest of Barbershop is weighed down by its too-obvious attempts to be deep and meaningful. (1:42) Century 20, Century Plaza, Grand Lake, Jack London, Kabuki, Metreon, 1000 Van Ness. (Gachman)

The Business of Fancydancing Native American author Sherman Alexie makes his directorial bow with this complex, intriguing look at cross-cultural identity. A popular "crossover" artist because of his Caucasian-friendly poems about Indian suffrage, Seymour Polatkin (Evan Adams) is much less loved in his formative Northwestern tribal community, where he's considered a New Age sellout. As he journeys back to attend a childhood friend's funeral, the gay scribe gets a harsh wake-up lesson in community loyalty. Uneven in character and story development, the movie nonetheless has a textural richness and restless intelligence that consistently fascinate. (1:43) Four Star. (Harvey)
*The Chateau A pair of adopted brothers the neurotic, hippy-dippy white-guy philosophy major Graham (Paul Rudd) and the all-business African American Web entrepreneur Rex (Romany Malco) travel to the south of France to sell a castle they've unexpectedly inherited from a recently deceased uncle. The castle's staff, including a comely maid (Sylvie Testud), subtly tries to sabotage the duo's attempts to unload the property lest they have nowhere to live. Commence crazy fish-outta-water shenanigans. Writer-director Jesse Peretz (the man responsible for that Mentos-flavored Foo Fighters video) bypasses the material's inherent audience-friendly expectations, opting for a more personal, intimate road less traveled that makes all the difference. Surprisingly gentle and giddily goofy, The Chateau beats to the rhythm of a real, human pulse. (1:32) Lumiere. (Fear)
City by the Sea The true saga of the LaMarca family (Angelo, executed for murder; his son, Vincent, a hero cop; Vincent's son, Joey, a junkie-turned-killer) unfolds like a grittier, uncampy version of The Bad Seed. NYPD detective Vincent LaMarca (Robert De Niro) is an introvert, terrified of unleashing the pain he's so meticulously locked out of his life caused by the loss of his father at a young age while also being branded a criminal's kid, and later the bitter dissolution of his marriage to Margaret (Patti LuPone). Then, of course, there's Joey, the child LaMarca abandoned when the divorce sent him roaring away from the wasteland of Long Beach, N.Y. for good or so he thought, until the body of a tattooed man with a Long Beach address in his pocket washes ashore in LaMarca's jurisdiction. Director Michael Caton-Jones (This Boy's Life) keeps the Long Beach scenes gray and dreary, a desolate landscape that's note-perfect for the inevitable confrontation between detective and quarry, father and son. Franco blusters a bit, and the filmmakers' decision to add a fourth LaMarca generation (Joey's son, Angelo ... get it?) is a little overwrought. But the compelling true story and De Niro's controlled, slowly unraveling performance render City by the Sea more haunting than expected.

*The Good Girl Jennifer Aniston stars a little aggressively in another Miguel Arteta, Mike White, and Matthew Greenfield (director, writer, and producer, respectively, of Chuck and Buck) film about unhealthy obsession. Aniston plays a wife who feels, probably unfairly, imprisoned in her marriage to kind if potheaded painter husband Phil (an always awesome John C. Reilly). She looks to aisle two for spiritual relief in the form of a tormented soul, a faux writer who's renamed himself "Holden" (Jake Gyllenhaal). Their romance goes predictably awry, in a typically unpredictable Arteta way. Yet it's the bit parts that bring the real laughs in this film from Fargo hubby John Carroll Lynch, "your store manager," to Phil's bony painting partner Tim Blake Nelson. If you, unlike me, can reduce Aniston to the anonymity of her surroundings accomplishing the inhuman feat of removing all knowledge of her soul-mating to Brad Pitt and familiarity with a certain popular TV comedy about a group of "buddies" then you may truly be able to inhabit the film's brilliant comic nowhereland. I had to protect my eyes: her star power was shining far too neon bright in a movie where some all-purpose fluorescence was truly required. (1:34) Embarcadero. (Gerhard)
*The Last Kiss Writer-director Gabriele Muccino's The Last Kiss, a tender look at the realities of growing up and settling down, is also a modernized take on the traditional Italian sex comedy. Less about raw lust (though there's no shortage here) than about the restlessness that permeates contemporary relationships, the film ultimately paints love as a state of perpetual confusion and repeatedly asks whether it is ever possible to recognize happiness once you've found it. Muccino accomplishes this through the interwoven stories of a group of college buddies on the verge of hitting 30: Carlo (Stefano Accorsi, also of the Italian import The Son's Room) is secretly petrified of marrying his pregnant girlfriend, Paolo (Claudio Santamaria) can't seem to get over his domineering ex, and Alberto (Mario Cocci) is beginning to question the value of an endless string of one-night stands. Well-structured and well-acted, The Last Kiss deftly canvasses the gamut of human emotions, from the joys of childbirth to the dizzying fear that somehow, somewhere, a better life is passing us by.

*Mostly Martha Hamburg-born writer-director Sandra Nettelbeck's sumptuous new film, Mostly Martha, extends the Euro-foodie film genre to Germany with its story of a woman looking for love amid scads of gorgeously shot meat, fish, and pasta. Martha (Martina Gedeck) is a top chef at a fancy Italian restaurant in Hamburg. Martha's fiery, uncompromising spirit comes across in her meticulous control of the kitchen and in her refusal to ever let a customer get away with criticizing her food. Even in her therapy sessions she can't bring herself to express her feelings about love and life but obsessively recites recipes to her shrink. The sudden death of Martha's sister in a car accident is the tragic catalyst that opens her emotional floodgates, the rock-bottom moment that makes her fall apart. When Martha's boss (Sibylle Canonica) brings on a free-spirited Italian sous chef (Sergio Castellitto) to help out in the kitchen, Martha's frustration and anxiety mount. Martha offers an array of sensual and cinematic pleasures, and it ultimately has even more to say to us about grief and longing and about how we must reach out to those around us in both good times and bad. (1:47) Clay. (Jenni Olson)
My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2:01) Galaxy, Metreon.
Mysteries of Egypt (:39) Metreon Imax.
One Hour Photo A lonely SavMart photo developer (Robin Williams) who's been obsessing over a "perfect" suburban family has taken to stalking their house, collecting their snapshots, building shrines, etc. When photographic evidence points to a possible infidelity within his idealized clan, things move from uncomfortably creepy to downright ugly. Director Mark Romanek wears his music-video past on his sleeve, imbuing his bloodlessly perfectionist compositions and color-coded set-design schematics (warm amber for the family's house, bland and banally sterile for the lunatic fringe mindset) with the self-conscious air of a still-life painter used to working within three-minute formats. Fighting for eye-space is Williams, already deep into his summer-of-discontent phase with Insomnia and hell-bent on proving that his real strength is less manic shtick than tour de force unravelings. Stuck amid arty Dutch angles and smooth Steadicam lolling, it's still Williams' blank stare and needy grin that steals the show, frazzling viewers' nerves long before the film dutifully cuts to the bone.

*Read My Lips (1:55) Galaxy.
*Rivers and Tides Building elaborate installation pieces out of Mother Nature's flotsam and jetsam in its own "natural" habitat (open fields, seashores, riverbanks), artist Andy Goldsworthy spends hours altering the landscape or working his elemental materials into man-made paths and patterns of harmonious grace. A finished work can last for as long as a few days or as short as a minute before a light breeze or an eddying tide picks it apart like carrion; in Goldsworthy's art, deconstruction is as much a part of his vision as construction. German documentarian Thomas Riedelshiemer's affectionate, awestruck look at the man and his mission to tap into a frequency of symmetrical order in terra firma's chaos is as hypnotically dazzling as his subject's abstract expressionist products. Fluently gliding around Goldsworthy's struggle to complete a fragile twig leitmotiv before it collapses under its own weight or pulling far back to reveal a sidewinder pattern snaking around a forest glen, Riedelshiemer's camera becomes the subject's partner, capturing the artist's attempts to channel the ebb and flow of organic life for posterity in a gorgeous, wide-screen, 35mm time capsule.

Stealing Harvard Remember when Jason Lee was cool? When the pro skateboarder turned actor brought us the inimitable Brodie, king of the mall in Mallrats? Or, more recently, when he made asshole an art form as Stillwater's lead singer in Almost Famous? Well, sadly, those days seem to be gone. As John Plummer, a medical supply salesman who in a less- than-clever plot twist finds himself strapped for the 30 grand needed to cover his niece's college tuition, Lee reveals that his charm and wit are no match for an idiotic script and unappealing costars. Plummer's dysfunctional sidekick, Duff, for instance, is played by Tom Green, who proves conclusively here that, despite some high points in Road Trip, he's just not funny. All in all, director Bruce McCulloch (of The Kids in the Hall fame) delivers an unfortunate and insulting example of cinematic nonsense hardly worthy of home video viewing.

*Tadpole There was a brief time in the '70s when, if your only contact with American society was through contemporary film and literature, you'd swear that the United States was mostly composed of New York's Upper East Side. Gary Winick's Tadpole would, in a perfect world, restore the inhabitants of that occasionally grainy-lensed, sometimes Gershwin-soundtracked cultural gestalt to center stage. Fifteen-year-old budding intellectual Oscar Grubman (Aaron Stanford), nicknamed "Tadpole," comes home from boarding school to celebrate Thanksgiving with his history professor dad in Manhattan. His main interest in the holiday homecoming, however, involves a monster crush he's nursing for his middle-age stepmother (Sigourney Weaver). Complications arise when Oscar's seduction by his stepmom's best friend (Bebe Neuwirth) threatens to derail his own Oedipal courtship. Shot in dusty-looking digital video and focusing on a precocious teen pining for an older woman, it's tempting at first to dismiss Tadpole as a low-rent Rushmore. But the hyperintelligent writing and wit overcomes the cruder, clumsier technical moments to make this upper-crust comedy of manners the freshest sex farce in ages. (1:17) Balboa, Opera Plaza. (Fear)
*13 Conversations about One Thing (1:42) Balboa.
*24 Hour Party People Manchester-based label Factory gave the world Joy Division, the Happy Mondays, and the seeds of rave culture via its sister club Hacienda and was renowned as much for its owners' bad business sense and drug-fueled burnout as for its stark, minimalist sound. 24 Hour Party People seems destined to cement the collective's rightful place in the pantheon, but any notion of genuflection or pedestal polishing quickly gets pissed on. Laden with one of the cinema's most unreliable narrators in the form of Factory impresario Tony Wilson (Steve Coogan) and brimming with pop art detritus filmmaking (punky Super 8 comfortably cuddles with druggy D.V.), the film is less concerned with facts than with Factory's mythos as a beautiful supernova failure. Director Michael Winterbottom (Wonderland) incorporates Lester-like giddiness, deconstructive asides, and even actual participants from the era (keep an eye out for Mark E. Smith and Howard DeVoto) to correct the film when it "gets it wrong," still, any glitches are overrun by the film's gleeful willingness to jettison narrative and biopic concerns in order to hook viewers on a feeling.

*'All the Colors of the Dark: The Films of Mario Bava' Euro "art movies" always got away with otherwise objectionable content by being, well, arty about it, but by the 1960s the line between edification and exploitation was blurred into an impressionist smear. Directors were permitted any auteurist indulgence (on the set at least such stuff often got rudely cut out by foreign distributors) so long as they delivered enough sex and violence to maintain the audience's delicious sense of slumming. Generally dismissed or despised by mainstream critics at the time, Eurotrash genre cinema of the '60s and '70s now makes the period look like a golden era of artistic adventure in the cause of crass cash-harvesting. No one was more deeply embroiled in both values than Mario Bava, the late Italian horror master whose works are showcased this month at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and next month at Berkeley's Pacific Film Archive. The visual intoxication should be well over legal limits during these series, since the 35mm prints to be screened were fully restored for simultaneous DVD release and represent the most complete versions of oft-cut, retitled, and otherwise messed-with titles.

The Perfect Private Island
If you've dreamed of the perfect desert isle, the kind you think are only possible in Photoshopped screen-savers…it exists and its name is Medjumbe. Rani Resorts claimed this serpentine sandbar hovering above the turquoise water in Mozambique's Quirimbas Archipelago and made this private island into a 13-chalet honeymooner's paradise.
On our 30-minute flight from Pemba, we were lucky enough to have the entire to ourselves. Kicking back in our leather seats with extra legroom, we soaked up million dollar views to the dozens of islands and countless shades of blue below (see opening photo).
Upon arrival we were treated to welcome drinks in the heart of the hotel. This thatch roof bar and lounge always supplied to-die-for views, a cool breeze, and blissful cocktails.
Inspired by the island's history and location along the spice route, Medjumbe's décor had a hint of Arab, African, and Portuguese flair. Antique lanterns, weathered wood furniture, African pottery, and sea-glass colored pillows all mixed for a sexy coastal vibe.
After our delicious cocktails and a tour of the resort and its water sport facilities (more to come on our scuba excursion in our activities post), we were escorted to our private beach-front chalet. Waking up every morning to the sounds of the ocean and watching the sunset from our own private slice of beach was nothing short of magical.
Whether lazing in bed, cuddling on the love seat, soaking in the jacuzzi tub, rinsing in the outdoor shower, ocean views were always in sight. Then step outside the glass doors onto the wraparound terrace and the sand is at your feet.
As if the ocean directly in front of our room wasn't enough, each suite had a massive sundeck complete with plunge pool for a late night dip or extra private sunbathing.
With views this mesmerizing at every meal, the chef could have served us gruel and we probably wouldn't have noticed, but instead Medjumbe served up some of the best meals we had during our entire 100-day African honeymoon. Lobster and mango salads, coconut seafood paella, peppered Trinhado steak—the array of flavors and bounty of choices never ceased to amaze.
The food was so good in fact that the island's bird life would occasionally invite themselves to meals. The pretty and petite Lesser Masked Weavers would politely perch about the dining room. If you didn't know better you might just think they were part of the décor.
More than pretty to look at, Medjumbe is filled with things to do. From scuba, kayaking, to beach combing, see all the activities they have to offer honeymooners in our next post.
Much love from Medjumbe,
Anne & Mike
Note: Medjumbe invited us to be their guests; however, all opinions are our own.
